Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 158 Head of Security Company (Fifth update, please subscribe and vote)

The next morning, Tian Jiahui drove Li Song and He Erge to find Chen Jiahao.

Chen Jiahao lives in one of those public rental apartments, the kind you see in Hong Kong movies with corridors and iron gates.

Chen Jiahao and Tian Jiahui's wives are relatives; they are from the same village.

After resigning from the police station, Chen Jiahao encountered difficulties in everything he did, mainly because he had offended too many people in the past.

If the entire police station is corrupt and you are the only one who is innocent, then you are destined to be ostracized.

After leaving the police station to do business, the gangsters he had arrested before came to cause trouble again, so he had no choice but to set up a street stall. Even so, those gangsters he had arrested would deliberately spit on him as they passed by.

Chen Jiahao only recently learned that Tian Jiahui was a vice president at a company, so he thought he would ask Tian Jiahui if they needed to hire someone.

Coincidentally, Li Song needed someone who was very knowledgeable about things in Hong Kong to handle security work. Of course, this person needed to know about firearms, as well as laws, regulations, and procedures.

Knowing more helps you avoid some trouble.

"Jiahao, this is the boss I was talking about, Mr. Li." Tian Jiahao knocked on the door and stood in the doorway.

The small house was crammed with stuff, and there was a bunk bed in the cramped living room.

Chen Jiahao looked somewhat haggard and rather thin. Li Song and He Erge were carrying some roast goose, roast pork, and snacks, while Tian Jiahui had also bought some pastries.

"Thank you, Mr. Li." Chen Jiahao wasn't dressed very well, but he was clean. He took the things from Li Song and Brother He.

"Okay, let's talk outside," Li Song said.

"it is good."

Then the group went to the rooftop, and Li Song looked at Chen Jiahao and asked, "Should you ask first or should I ask first?"

"What does Mr. Li do?" Chen Jiahao asked directly, because Li Song was too young.

“I run legitimate businesses, an investment company, a magazine, and Tian Jiahui can vouch for that.” Li Song glanced at Tian Jiahui and He Erge, who were standing in the distance.

Tian Jiahui didn't know what the two were talking about, but when he saw them looking over, he nodded.

"What kind of security company does Mr. Li want to open?" Chen Jiahao didn't say much, and Li Song could roughly guess that the middle-aged man's difficult life situation made him lack the courage to say more.

"Don't worry about that. We're a legitimate security company. We face business competition, and as you know, Hong Kong isn't a very peaceful place."

“I mainly chose this security company because they can carry weapons to protect my safety. Your main task is to ensure my safety. As for other business, you are free to do so, but it must be legal and compliant,” Li Song continued.

“Mr. Li, it’s your turn,” Chen Jiahao said.

"Here'll give you 30 yuan first, to buy a new house. At your age, don't let your parents, children, and wife suffer."

“With parents alive, one still has a place to go; without parents, life is just a journey home,” Li Song said, while taking out a check.

"Find Jia Hui once it's settled." Li Song took out a check and then waved to Brother He.

"As for whether you can get your parents a big villa, that depends on your own efforts. This 30 yuan is a loan from me, interest-free." Li Song said this and left.

When Brother He saw Li Song leave, he quickly came over.

Tian Jiahui also made a phone call gesture to Chen Jiahao, and then left.

"With parents alive, one has a place to go; without parents, one only has a way to return home." Chen Jiahao's eyes welled up with tears. His parents and wife had suffered so much with him, all because of his persistence. Many times he asked himself, do I regret it?

Because I can make life better.

Chen Jiahao carefully put away the check and then quickly went downstairs...

“Old Tian, ​​if Jiahao comes looking for you, here’s a million. You can handle the security company.” Li Song took out another check.

"Okay." Tian Jiahui nodded.

"I'll arrange for some more people from the mainland to go in then."

"Okay." After dealing with this matter, Li Song went to the magazine office.

"Boss, this is the revenue for June, and also a summary of the magazine's situation." Liu Jiale picked up two documents.

Li Song opened his June earnings and said, "Go ahead and tell me."

"The Shanghai Animation Film Studio will send over the animated film sample at the end of the month. Would you like to take a look together, boss?"

"Okay, let me know in advance."

"There's also the matter of making movies. Wang Jing used to want to return to Shaw Brothers, but Shaw Brothers is currently suffering significant losses, and with a series of recent accidents, Wang Jing doesn't have many opportunities, which means there's a chance for collaboration."

"The TV station issue is also making progress, but we still need some public relations expenses."

"You can handle this yourself. Just get things done. These foreigners have come all this way here to make money."

"Ah."

"Lucas will arrive on Hong Kong Island next Tuesday and plans to stay here for a week."

"Yes, I'll personally receive him then."

"Jiahe and Ah Long have been wanting you to come and see the set and the sample photos they've taken."

“When Lucas arrives, we’ll take him to the set to give him some feedback.”

"In addition, this is the Treasure Trove Mystery and the second volume of Tomb Raider Chronicles."

"Boss, this..." Liu Jiale said somewhat embarrassed.

"It's alright, this is the outline for Volume 3." Li Song had no choice; the magazine could manage on its own, and the secondhand platform had plenty of money anyway.

Li Song left the magazine. He came to the magazine because A-Lin had graduated and it was inconvenient for her to stay at home.

Li Song is considering whether to buy another house for Alin to live in.

Anyway, the daily earnings are more than enough, but I'll wait until Arlene's birthday to decide.

When Li Song returned home, A Lin saw him and eagerly helped him with his briefcase and hung up his clothes.

The two acted like lovers in the throes of passion, but Li Song knew that they both had their own plans.

"Ah Lin, do you want to learn to drive? I'll buy you a car later," Li Song asked.

"I'm not old enough."

"I'll give you a sports car once you get your driver's license." Li Song estimated the timeframe; by the time Arlene got her driver's license in the second half of the year, his car factory would probably already be in production.

The car factory prepares its own molds; once the equipment is installed, production can begin.

"Ah, really?"

"of course it's true."

"Thank you, Brother Song!" Arlene came up to give him a kiss.

"How about we watch some movies tonight and learn some techniques?"

"Brother Song, in the end, haven't I always been at your mercy?"

"Active and passive are not the same."

No, I won't look.

"OK then."

On Wednesday, July 16, 1980 (the sixth day of the sixth lunar month), Li Song got up early and took Brother He and Third Brother He back to Guangzhou. He wouldn't have time to go back to the mainland the following week because Lucas was coming.
