Hong Kong Variety Show: Let you eat melons, eat melons on your sister-in-law

Chapter 134 "134" The Boss Behind the Scenes
Lian Haolong's son was born to his mistress.

This would obviously displease his wife, Liang Yuelian.

However, it's not appropriate to lash out in public.

To save face for Lian Haolong, he even personally gave his mistress a gemstone necklace.

This pleased Lian Haolong greatly.

There were quite a few guests today, including Korean guests.

"Oh, Yao, you're here too!" Han Bin asked, somewhat surprised. "I don't think you've ever had any dealings with Zhong Yixin before!"

Lin Yao said with a smile, "Lian Haolong specially invited me here. I wonder what he's planning to do."

Han Bin thought for a moment and said to Lin Yao, "It's not because of the logistics company, is it?"

“I think so too!” Lin Yao said calmly. “Let’s hear what he has to say first. If he doesn’t agree, does he dare to force us?”

Han Bin thought for a moment and said, "That's true!"

After the banquet, Lian Haolong specifically sought out Lin Yao and Han Bin.

"Thank you so much for what happened before, Yao!" Lian Haolong said with a smile.

Lin Yao said calmly, "Brother Long, you're too kind! But you didn't call me here just for this, did you?"

Lian Haolong nodded and said, "I won't beat around the bush with you. A certain boss wants to cooperate with you."

"The logistics business in Tuen Mun?" Lin Yao said with a smile.

“That’s right, it seems you guessed it long ago, Ayao!” Lian Haolong said with a smile.

Lin Yao spread his hands: "There's no way around it, we've made money, and a lot of people have been looking for us lately!"

Han Bin chuckled and added, "Sometimes making too much money can be a problem!"

Lian Haolong addressed the two directly, asking, "What are your thoughts?"

Han Bin looked at Lin Yao, afraid that Lin Yao would agree.

"The business is too small, it's enough for the three of us!" Lin Yao shook his head and refused directly.

Lian Haolong didn't expect Lin Yao to refuse so decisively, but he immediately added, "Then how about this, you use your channels to help us transport some goods, that shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Happy fans, right?" Lin Yao shook his head: "I've already said, we're not interested in this kind of thing."

Han Bin chimed in, "Doing some smuggling now is enough for us!"

Lian Haolong said helplessly, "They won't even give me this much face!"

"There are some things I can do to save face, like attending your son's 100-day celebration, but there are other things I can't do to save face!" Lin Yao shook his head and said.

After saying that, Lin Yao got up and left the hotel with Han Bin.

Lian Haolong sighed and didn't say anything more, only drinking one glass after another.

A moment later, Liang Yuelian walked in and said to Lian Haolong, "What? Didn't you reach an agreement?"

"They refused without even thinking about it, and didn't even listen to the conditions!" Lian Haolong said with a helpless laugh, "Thinking about it, it makes sense. If someone is caught smuggling, they might just go to jail and get fined, but transporting 'happy powder' can really kill people!"

Liang Yuelian said to Lian Haolong with some worry, "Then... how are you going to explain this to the boss!"

"I'm at my wit's end. If he's capable, let him do it himself!" Lian Haolong said somewhat irritably. "I'm so fed up with being the boss of this gang!"

Liang Yuelian didn't say anything and could only leave silently.

"Ah Yao, I don't think Lian Haolong will let this go!"

After leaving the house, Han Bin said to Lin Yao.

Lin Yao said calmly, "It's not that Lian Haolong is unwilling to let this go, but that the people behind Lian Haolong won't let it go. Brother Han Bing, didn't you realize? This whole thing wasn't Lian Haolong's idea at all; he's just a puppet being manipulated!"

Han Bin was taken aback: "Who's so powerful that they can control Lian Haolong?!"

"I've got some leads, but I'm still investigating!" Lin Yao shook his head and said to Han Bin, "Tell Brother Dinosaur to be extra careful these days, lest he suffer an unexpected setback. I have a feeling this isn't going to end so easily!"

Han Bin nodded: "I'll talk to the dinosaur!"

……

The next day, Lin Yao made a special trip to the film company because it was the release date of the first Wong Fei-hung movie.

The release of Guangyao Film Company's second film has naturally attracted a lot of attention.

Many people are wondering if it's possible to replicate the viewing frenzy of "Tai Chi Master".

Especially Big D, he's been hanging around Lin Yao's place a lot lately.

Besides advancing the logistics company, there's also the issue of money laundering.

"Ah Yao, how much do you expect this movie to gross?" Big D asked curiously.

Lin Yao said with a laugh, "How would I know? It hasn't been released yet, but I've seen the movie and the quality is quite good. It should be on par with 'Tai Chi Master' without any problem!"

Hearing Lin Yao say that, Big D immediately felt relieved.

After all, he invested quite a bit in this movie!

As the movie theater lights dimmed, the three large characters "Huang Feihong" appeared on the screen.

It instantly drew the attention of everyone in the theater.

This version of Wong Fei-hung is quite well-made. Although it differs somewhat from the Wong Fei-hung in Lin Yao's memory, the overall tone remains the same. Therefore, it certainly won't have any problem attracting the audience, and it's clearly done a better job in evoking emotions.

This was something Lin Yao hadn't expected.

After the movie ended, the audience members couldn't wait to whisper among themselves and burst into thunderous applause.

"Looks like it's going well!" Big D seemed a bit unsatisfied. "We're sure to make a fortune again! I'll definitely invest in Ah Yao's next movie when it starts filming!"

Lin Yao said with a smile, "I'm getting a bit tired of filming period dramas all the time. My next project is a biopic, but unfortunately, Broken Tooth Giant beat me to it!"

"Huh? The Broken Tooth Giant from Macau?" Big D said in surprise.

Lin Yao nodded: "This guy paid for his own autobiography, you can't just get involved, can you?"

Big D said with a hint of regret, "Never mind then, but those bastards who run casinos really make a fortune! Didn't you ever tell him that you wanted to open a casino in Macau?"

Lin Yao said directly, "I've already taken over the casino at the Twins Hotel. It's that abandoned project of Hung Hing and the Sanlian Gang!"

"Holy crap, you've made a killing, haven't you?" Big D's eyes darted around as he chuckled. "Ah Yao, we're all brothers, you see..."

Lin Yao rolled his eyes and said, "Big D, you're not done taking advantage of others, are you? You own a casino in Macau yourself!"

"Hehehe!" Big D said with a laugh, "Isn't it more reliable to cooperate with you?"

"Forget about this casino. If Broken Tooth Giant is willing to let me run it, he'll definitely want a share too!" Lin Yao refused directly. "By the time it's all over, I don't know how much will be left for me, let alone give any to others!"

Seeing that Lin Yao refused, Big D simply gave up on the idea.

After Lin Yao came out of the movie theater, he found that there were quite a few people in line.

Nowadays, movies are a very cost-effective form of entertainment for Hong Kong people.

Lin Yaodu was considering whether he should acquire a cinema chain to avoid being controlled by others.

After returning to the company, Lin Yao asked Yang Siwen to find information from several newspapers for him to choose from.

"Boss, these are all the materials you need for the newspaper, but most of them are too small-scale and don't quite fit our style!" Yang Siwen said with some dissatisfaction.

Lin Yao glanced at it and frowned: "And they're asking for the moon like crazy!"

Yang Siwen nodded: "To be honest, none of these are really appropriate!"

Lin Yao threw all the documents into the trash can and said, "Better to have none than something of poor quality!"

Yang Siwen breathed a sigh of relief: "That's what I thought too!"

"Then you should make more contacts!" Lin Yao said directly, "Wait until you find a suitable candidate before making a move!"

"Understood, boss!" Yang Siwen nodded.

Lin Yao stretched, preparing to leave work.

At this moment, Su Xingbai ran over: "Boss, the lawsuit you were concerned about, the one you had Dong Weiguo handle, has already yielded some results!"

"Hmm?" Lin Yao immediately laughed: "Looks like good news?"

Su Xingbo nodded: "Coco said that an agreement should be reached tomorrow!"

"Excellent!" Lin Yao laughed. "Just when we need manpower!"

……

On the Department of Justice side, Dong Weiguo has already brought his legal team several times.

I've communicated with the prosecutor at least a dozen times.

This caused considerable headaches for the officials in the Department of Justice and the prosecutors.

In this case, they were under pressure from the police to close the case as soon as possible.

No one expected that, after a year or two, someone would overturn their case.

They even have a very high-caliber legal team.

This is something no one expected.

Moreover, Dong Weiguo had access to a number of procedural flaws that occurred during the process of "closing the case as soon as possible."

If the lawsuit really goes all the way, it's estimated that quite a few people on both the police and the Department of Justice will suffer.

So the Department of Justice official directly asked Dong Weiguo, "What exactly do you want?"

"Nothing much, we're here to seek justice for our clients!" Dong Weiguo said righteously.

The Attorney General was speechless upon hearing this: "Don't try that with us, just tell us what outcome you want!"

"Reverse the verdict!" Dong Weiguo said directly.

"That's impossible!" The Department of Justice officials and prosecutors rejected the idea without even thinking: "You should know that this is absolutely impossible! A group of police officers led by Qiu Gang'ao really did beat a gangster to death! That's a fact!"

"So what?" Dong Weiguo said with a roguish grin, "You think you can just arbitrarily make judgments?"

"Of course, we can also back down. Since this matter is not the fault of our parties involved, we can choose not to overturn the case, but they must be released."

"This..." The Department of Justice officials and prosecutors hesitated immediately.

Seeing this, Dong Weiguo scrambled through his files, clearly annoyed, and said, "Then there's nothing more to talk about!"
