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

Chapter 148 "148" New Territories legislator, new ideas
Lin Yao contacted this councilor, Liu Shanyi.

Su Xingbai also investigated this guy thoroughly.

Despite his name being Liu Shanyi, he doesn't do a single thing related to charity.

He even used his position as a legislator to deal with many ruthless gangsters who came to Hong Kong to "do business".

For example, the ruthless gangster he had previously had Wei Da kill, who was about to be brought to trial.

They even helped sell stolen goods and assisted these people in entering or leaving Hong Kong.

Of course, these ruthless bandits who cooperated with him also had to pay him protection money for a portion of the money they robbed.

This guy has indeed made a lot of money recently through this "business".

Lin Yao felt that this guy's way of doing "business" was too primitive, and he looked down on him.

However, his position as a legislator in the New Territories was very useful because the Hong Kong government had been developing the New Territories since the 1970s.

For example, the Tin Shui Wai land plot where Lin Yao had a conflict with Mingda Group was one of the government's development projects.

Of course, there are also places like Tseung Kwan O, but I won't list them all.

So Lin Yao decided to make contact with this guy.

The two parties quickly arranged a place, where Lin Yao met Liu Shanyi.

"Mr. Lin, this is the first time I've met you in person!" Liu Shanyi said to Lin Yao with a smile.

“Associate Liu, I’ve heard so much about you!” Lin Yao shook hands with Liu Shanyi, and then they both sat down.

Liu Shanyi asked with some curiosity, "Boss Lin, what brings you here today?"

Lin Yao said with a smile, "I have a friend who used to work for you, Councilor Liu, but he wasn't very skilled and messed things up for you, so I'm here today to resolve this matter!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Shanyi immediately knew who Lin Yao was referring to.

His expression immediately changed, and he said coldly to Lin Yao, "Mr. Lin, I feel there's nothing more to say about this matter!"

After saying that, the guy got up and prepared to leave.

But Lin Yao wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he said to Liu Shanyi, "Councilor Liu, if you think he's just an ordinary gunman, don't blame me for not warning you beforehand if something goes wrong!"

"What do you mean? Are you threatening me?" Liu Shanyi said with an unfriendly expression.

Lin Yao waved his hand and said, "I'm a legitimate businessman, I would never do such a thing, but if the people behind Weida find out about this, you're probably in trouble!"

"Just a gunman!" Liu Shanyi said with a thuggish air, "What's the big deal!"

"If he were just an ordinary gunman, I wouldn't be here wasting my breath talking to you!" Lin Yao said calmly. "The former president of Luzon's bodyguard knows a lot! Even though the former president has lost power, he's still one of Luzon's four major families. If he knew you killed his bodyguard, then..."

Liu Shanyi was immediately shocked: "What do you mean? The former president of Luzon's personal bodyguard?"

"Otherwise, why do you think I would step in to mediate for a gunman? Do you think I have nothing better to do?" Lin Yao said with a smile. "Want to sit down and have a chat?"

Liu Shanyi was still somewhat incredulous: "Really?"

"Go check it yourself!" Lin Yao tossed the information to Liu Shanyi: "He has attended many public events with the former President of Luzon, and there should be photos of him there. It's not difficult for you to check if you want!"

Hearing Lin Yao's confident words, Liu Shanyi took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

Then he sat down and quietly awaited the results of the investigation.

Liu Shanyi's men quickly found out: "Boss, this guy really did appear with the former President of Luzon. He must have been his bodyguard!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Shanyi was dumbfounded: "What the hell are you doing? How did you get me into such big trouble?"

"Boss, I don't know either. It's just that the assassin's agent is unreliable!" the subordinate said innocently.

Liu Shanyi said irritably, "I'll settle the score with you when you get back!"

After taking a deep breath, Liu Shanyi said to Lin Yao, "What do you want to do now?"

"It's not a matter of what I want to do!" Lin Yao said with a smile, "but rather it depends on what you, Councilor Liu, do. This matter concerning Wei Da could be a big deal or a small deal. As long as he keeps quiet, it shouldn't have any impact on you, right?"

Liu Shanyi frowned and said, "How can I guarantee he'll keep his mouth shut?"

"What you're worried about right now is nothing more than the election of a legislator!" Lin Yao said with a smile. "As long as he doesn't show up anywhere for the next few months, there won't be any problems after your election, right?"

"And now that you know his identity, once it's exposed, he and the people behind him will be in big trouble!"

Liu Shanyi thought about it and realized that it made sense.

Lin Yao continued to persuade him, "He's just a gunman. As long as he doesn't get caught by the police, not many people will believe what he says, right?"

Liu Shanyi nodded reluctantly: "Okay, but Mr. Lin, since I've made a concession, could you do me a small favor in return?"

Lin Yao smiled and said, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"I need Mr. Lin to help me generate buzz among your readers, and of course I'll pay for it!" Liu Shanyi usually finds it troublesome to get help from these media people.

Now that Lin Yao had delivered himself to his doorstep, he naturally wouldn't let it pass. Lin Yao smiled and said, "I have no interest in promoting others!"

Liu Shanyi's face immediately darkened, and his expression clearly showed his displeasure.

However, Lin Yao's next words made him smile again.

"However, I'm always happy to help my friends!" Lin Yao said with a smile.
Liu Shanyi quickly seized the opportunity and said with a smile, "Boss Lin, you know that although I'm a country bumpkin, I really enjoy making friends!"

"Then I'll make friends with Councilor Liu?" Lin Yao said with a smile.

"Of course, we're friends from now on!" Liu Shanyi said with a big laugh.

That's how relationships are built; most of them are based on mutual benefit.

Liu Shanyi could tell that Lin Yao also had some thoughts about his status as a councilor, so the two hit it off immediately.

So Liu Shanyi quickly changed his address, calling Boss Lin "Brother Lin".

During their conversation, Lin Yao discovered that although Liu Shanyi was not a good person, he had a very good reputation among the local gentry in the New Territories.

People who rise from humble beginnings like this are all too common in this era.

Lin Yao enjoys dealing with this kind of person; they don't have much scheming.

As they chatted, the conversation drifted to nightclubs.

After drinking for most of the day, Lin Yao took the tipsy Liu Shanyi home before returning to his own place.

Seeing Lin Yao return, Le Huizhen covered her nose and helped Lin Yao take off his coat with a look of disgust: "You drank so much again!"

Lin Yao said speechlessly, "I went to take care of some business! Wei Da, the matter is settled. As long as you disappear for a while and don't say anything out of line, Councilor Liu won't bother you!"

Hearing Lin Yao say this, everyone's faces lit up with joy.

Fang Siwei asked with surprise, "Really!"

"Don't worry, I'm always reliable!" Lin Yao patted Fang Siwei's head, then said to Wei Da, "Go hide at my security company's training ground in Tseung Kwan O for a while. The police usually don't check there. Also, help me train my security personnel on how to protect VIPs. You're familiar with that, right?"

Wei Da had no objection to Lin Yao's arrangements, but he was very worried about his wife: "But... what about my wife? The police have been keeping an eye on her!"

Lin Yao said with a laugh, "Are you worried that the police will harm your wife? Don't you see there are two beautiful female reporters in front of you? If the Hong Kong police dare to do anything reckless, it will be a huge scandal on the spot!"

Hearing Lin Yao say that, Wei Da felt relieved.

Fang Siwei took the initiative and said, "Weida, don't worry, I will take care of your wife for you. Consider it... an apology!"

Wei Da didn't say much, but said very seriously to Fang Siwei, "Thank you!"

After saying that, Lin Yao had someone take Wei Da to his security company to report for duty.

Lin Yao wouldn't let this long-term worker leave easily unless he squeezed every last drop of value out of him.

After dealing with these troublesome matters, Lin Yao relaxed and fell asleep on the sofa in his office.

Le Huizhen and Fang Siwei found it somewhat amusing to see Lin Yao asleep.

After covering Lin Yao with a coat, she quietly left.

……

The next morning, Lin Yao woke up to find that his waist no longer belonged to him.

"Damn it, they didn't even leave a beautiful girl to warm my bed, and they just left me to sleep on the sofa all night!" Lin Yao sat up cursingly, rubbing his back and saying irritably.

Jimmy walked in from outside, grinning mischievously, and said, "Looks like you had a tough night!"

Lin Yao rolled his eyes and said, "Have you ever seen anyone working hard in an office?"

"Who knows! Maybe you have other quirks!" Jimmy said with a laugh.

Lin Yao gave Jimmy the middle finger and asked, "How's things going with the video game company?"

"The business license has been issued!" Jimmy said directly. "The factory has already produced a batch of prototypes. If you like them, you can open for business anytime!"

"No rush, let's find out if there are any Japanese video game companies in Hong Kong and import some video game consoles from them!" Lin Yao said to Jimmy after thinking for a moment.

Jimmy asked, somewhat puzzled, "Is this really necessary?"

"Of course! I plan to blur the lines between video game machines and gambling arcade machines!" Lin Yao said with a smile. "I don't want my arcade company to be targeted by certain people from Hong Kong right after it opens. That would be a real hassle to go to court!"

Jimmy stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "I see, no wonder you weren't in a hurry to put the fruit machine out for use!"

Lin Yao said with a smile, "That's called being prepared for a rainy day!"

"By the way, are you really going to help that New Territories councilor with his publicity?" Jimmy asked curiously.

Lin Yao nodded: "I have some thoughts on the situation in the New Territories."
