Hong Kong film: People in Wo Luen Shing, summoning the King of Fighters.

Chen Jialuo laughed. He looked Li Jialuo up and down, his mouth opening and closing, and said, "You son of a bitch, if you're out of your mind, go see a doctor. Don't spout nonsense here."

Chapter 379 Li Jialuo Arrives

Li Jialuo shrugged, his gaze calm and experienced. He stood with his legs unconsciously spread apart, his ears quite large, resembling dumpling ears.

Although Chen Jialuo wasn't interested in wrestling, he knew this was a wrestling expert. Only wrestling experts experience frequent contact between their ears and the ground during wrestling, leading to inflammation, ulceration, and scabbing. After healing, these ulcers grow and become calluses, until the ear becomes so hard that it loses its inner rim. From the side, it looks like a dumpling.

When Jialuo saw Li Jialuo suddenly appear, he felt a weight lift from his heart. He couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts, wondering if he had been monitored because of his actions on the deserted island on Lantau Island.

That's why this person came. But it doesn't seem quite right. If it really is him, then the best thing to do is to arrest him now, just in case.

His heart was ice-cold, but his face remained expressionless. Li Jialuo smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, don't be so aloof. We're all in business; having more friends is always a good thing. Our Emperor Film Company will be opening in a month, and we hope Mr. Chen will grace us with his presence."

As he spoke, he took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Chen Jialuo.

Chen Jialuo took the business card. It only had the name Li Jialuo on it, nothing else. He asked, "Have you ever practiced wrestling before?"

Li Jialuo smiled and said, "Yes, I used to train. I was on the provincial wrestling team and even won a championship. But later I felt it was too tough and there was no future in it, so I stopped training. Mr. Chen has a good eye; he knows I used to train in wrestling."

Chen Jialuo pointed to his ear but didn't say anything. He didn't believe Li Jialuo's words; he wanted to have someone investigate. If they really were here to set up a film and television company, the market was big enough that suppressing one would just lead to another; there was no need.

If not, and he's just here to cause trouble, he'll crush him to death.

Li Jialuo touched his ear, which was very hard, smiled, and said, "Dumpling ears, most people don't know that."

Chen Jialuo then asked, "Why did you come to Hong Kong instead of staying on the mainland?"

Li Jialuo laughed upon hearing this, looking at him with a leisurely air and a hint of disdain. "Mr. Chen, are you joking with me or something? Anyone with eyes can see what the environment is like on the mainland right now. If you want to make money, you have to come to Hong Kong."

Chen Jialuo's lips curled into a smile, and he suddenly said, "You belong to the red zodiac sign, and you're from the capital."

Li Jialuo subconsciously reached for a nod, but suddenly realized what he was doing and broke out in a cold sweat. He tried to change his mind, but it was too late, and he would only risk being caught. So he said, "Yes. On the mainland, anyone with a little money who comes here to try their luck is pretty much the same."

Chen Jialuo felt a huge weight lifted from his heart, a sense of relief that things had taken a turn for the better, like finding a new path after a long and winding road. He was convinced that Li Jialuo was most likely a descendant of a high-ranking official who had come with a mission—to make early contact with influential figures in Hong Kong.

And he just happened to be gaining some recognition these past couple of days, so he came to contact him. If that's the case, he's relieved.

After all, the system of Governor Harry and others will soon be submerged in the torrent of history, and Hong Kong will embark on a new and vibrant path.

As Li Jialuo spoke, he kept watching Chen Jialuo's reaction, feeling utterly chilled to the bone. He never expected to be caught up in this mess and make a mistake he had never anticipated.

—His identity was discovered.

Chen Jialuo softened his tone and said, "That's true. Although the situation on the mainland is slowly improving, the opportunity hasn't arrived yet. When it does, we'll definitely make a name for ourselves."

Li Jialuo looked at him, then suddenly lowered his eyelids, before raising them again and saying, "...You think the mainland is promising?"

Chen Jialuo said, "Isn't it always been like this from ancient times to the present? If the previous dynasty hadn't closed itself off from the world, the mainland would definitely have a place standing at the top of the world now."

His words revealed his fondness for the mainland, which made Li Jialuo's heart flutter. However, he felt that this was not the place to talk, so he did not continue the conversation with Chen Jialuo. Instead, he changed the subject to the film and television company and asked Chen Jialuo why he thought of starting a film and television company.

Chen Jialuo extended a tentative olive branch. Whether Li Jialuo accepted it or not, he would be in an invincible position. If he accepted it, he would dig up Li Jialuo's (good Zhao's) past, which would also pave a way for his future.

If he doesn't accept the offer, he can still take other paths. As long as he keeps the fact that he has the system and the NESTS fortress under his control from being exposed, there is no place in this world that he cannot go.

When Chen Jialuo saw that Li Jialuo was not responding, he followed up on his topic and talked about the reason for starting a film and television company. He said that Europe and America were very developed, and the entertainment industry in Hong Kong was also booming. At this time, starting a film and television company was the best and most profitable opportunity.

Li Jialuo said that he had the same idea, but he didn't have much money and couldn't buy a TV station like Chen Jialuo could and broadcast whatever programs he wanted. He would need Chen Jialuo's support after the film was made.

Chapter 380 A Year of Change

Chen Jialuo readily agreed. After all, who knows what the future holds? Besides, he didn't believe that Li Jialuo had come here just to set up a film and television company. He thought Li Jialuo was here to poach people and build momentum for the future.

On the eve of the Spring Festival in 1990, Chen Jialuo's Universal Pictures was looking for actors and filming its first TV series, called "Our Family".

This drama mainly tells the story of an ordinary family in Hong Kong. Chen Jialuo directly used the script of "High Kick!," which was filmed in South Korea in 2000, and after some polishing and modification, brought it directly to the big screen.

At the same time, the acquired television station, Qilin Television, also began a complete revamp, dividing its news programming into two types: morning news, evening news, and midday news. The morning news focused on current affairs and politics, the midday news on everyday life and various disputes, and the evening news a mix of both.

Following the news, they pioneered a bidding process, auctioning off breaks in news broadcasts and TV dramas to air commercials. They also created Hong Kong's first 370 talent show, "Miss Hong Kong," the first documentary program, "Human World," the first talent show, "Tomorrow's Star," and many other firsts.

This led to a surge in viewership for Kirin Television, making it a source of pride for everyone to watch its programs. At the same time, Chen Jialuo also discovered a number of promising talents, such as Hui Yinghong, Liu Dehua, and Lai Ming...

Chen Jialuo instantly became the most sought-after figure in Hong Kong, and the most successful gangster boss in the transformation.

During this period, Weiss also gained a foothold in North Point, and her subordinates trusted her. She also had her own ideas about innovation in the venue, such as increasing entertainment projects and using advanced technology to attract people. At the same time, she also started building a self-service hot pot restaurant and other self-service catering options.

The "Pig and Monkey" duo, Cai Baojian and Chen Guohan, have achieved some success with their strategy of encircling the cities from the countryside. Their territory has expanded, and the henchmen under the princeling party have become increasingly younger, growing from just a few at the beginning to nearly a thousand now. They have also established a headquarters in Wanzhong.

The establishments under his control expanded from the original three businesses—casino, KTV, and foot massage parlor—to include arcades and video arcades. The videos in these arcades were all shipped over by Chen Jialuo; they were all high-quality, brand-new stock. Other gangs and businesses were completely powerless to resist, and could only watch as large sums of money flowed into Chen Jialuo's pockets.

Rugal was thriving on the island of Osaka, dealing in arms on the black market, fighting the Yamaguchi-gumi for territory, doing whatever the law allowed and what the law forbade. He now had only about 500 men under his command, but they were all highly skilled and capable. Rugal possessed great charisma and exceptional oratory skills, making people willing to follow him, risk their lives for him, and even pay him.

When Chen Jialuo received information about Heidern, he was somewhat impressed by this one of the King of Fighters' major villains.

Even better off than Lukar was Igniz. Last time, Chen Jialuo drew a fighter jet, and he gave it to Igniz, making Igniz, who had already established himself in America, a highly sought-after arms dealer on the black market.

People come to him every day to trade, and he's a reckless person who sells anything that makes money. He's utterly inhuman.

Chen Jialuo could only hold onto the money with tears in his eyes while angrily cursing him for doing something inhuman.

February 28th. Chinese New Year.

Chen Jialuo had a wonderful New Year. Everyone, whether they knew him or not, came to congratulate him through various means.

Now a favorite of Governor Harry, Ho Chi-fung, a detective in the Police Chief Commission, specially set aside a day to have dinner with him. When Chan Ka-lok handed him the check, Ho Chi-fung couldn't suppress the smile on his face as he looked at the check with so many zeros on it, revealing all eight of his teeth.

He increasingly felt that standing with Chen Jialuo back then was the absolutely right choice. He had already transferred some of the money to the United States, and even if it were discovered later, that money would be enough for him to live a carefree life.

Chen Jialuo then took out another check, saying that He Zhifeng should distribute it to his men as a thank you for their care over the past six months. He Zhifeng smiled and accepted it.

He thought to himself that Chen Jialuo knew how to handle people; no wonder his business had grown so big, transforming him from a small-time gangster into Hong Kong's most successful gangster and businessman.

After meeting with Ho Chi-fung, Chan Ka-lok presented a generous gift to Governor Harry of Hong Kong, which included not only money but also a life-size model of Harry's hometown.

The saying "One misses one's family even more during festivals" is not just an empty phrase.

Harry was deeply moved by Chen Jialuo's gift, feeling it touched his heart. However, he also gave Chen Jialuo a piece of advice: be high-profile in business, but discreet in personal matters. He had heard several reports of Chen Jialuo's men committing violence recently.

Although a scapegoat always emerges, the presence of witnesses and onlookers makes the scapegoat story have a negative impact as it spreads.

Chen Jialuo promised that such a thing would never happen again.

Chapter 381 Someone to keep you company when you're lonely

After the Spring Festival, Hong Kong experienced a rare snowfall. The fluttering snowflakes reminded Chen Jialuo of the past. Before he came into this world, it often snowed in his hometown. When the snow was thick and plentiful, everyone would have a snowball fight.

This snowball fight isn't the kind where you throw snowballs at someone. It's wrestling, throwing people into the snow. The onlookers will cheer, applaud, and even cheer.

He once defeated three people his own age in a row, and the pride he felt was indescribable. Thinking back to that time, Chen Jialuo couldn't help but smile.

As his territories grew larger and larger, Chen Jialuo felt increasingly short-handed, sometimes having to use one subordinate as two.

For example, when Mature first appeared, she not only managed the construction aspects, but also delegated some of the work at Kirin Television to her. Universal Pictures gave part of its operations to Mai Shiranui, and part to Leona.

Everyone was so busy they couldn't even spare much time to spend with him during the Spring Festival. But Chen Jialuo didn't want the bio-mechanical maid to keep him company, so luckily Huang Yazi, who was a police officer, was on holiday and came to visit him.

Not wearing her police uniform and on leave, Huang Yazi seemed to have shed her responsibilities and only wanted to stick close to him and be affectionate with him.

Chen Jialuo also enjoyed it. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Huang Yazi even thought that he should go to her house to get acquainted with the family, saying that an ugly son-in-law always has to meet his parents-in-law, let alone Chen Jialuo who was not ugly.

Chen Jialuo thought about it and still declined. Firstly, meeting the parents meant going public, and he didn't want it to be so early. Secondly, Huang Yazi wasn't truly ready either.

The Huang family is very strict with her. They won't say anything if she plays around with him, but they would absolutely not allow it if it came to marriage.

So when Chen Jialuo refused, Huang Yazi was silent at first, then laughed and said, "Then let's wait a few more days."

Chen Jialuo glanced at Huang Yazi and noticed a hint of tears in her eyes. He couldn't help but sigh. "Good heavens," he thought, "although I'm not really ready to get married yet, seeing you like this is just unbearable."

He reached out and embraced Huang Yazi, whispering in her ear, "Wait a little longer, three years at most, and I'll come to marry you." Hearing this, Huang Yazi's heart trembled, and tears streamed down her face. She muttered, "I don't believe you."

Chen Jialuo wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes and asked with a smile, "If you don't believe me, who do you believe? You have to believe other men."

Huang Yazi turned her head away and said, "Mind your own business. Do you think I'm like you, with so many women?"

Chen Jialuo rubbed his nose. Ugh, this deadly question again. He didn't want to answer, so he changed the subject and said, "Haven't you always wanted to go shopping with me? We happen to have time today, so let's go together."

Huang Yazi didn't want to pressure him too much. She had tacitly agreed to this, since she liked Chen Jialuo and there was nothing she could do about it. Wiping away her tears, she said, "Okay, then I'll change my clothes."

Chen Jialuo said, "Then I'll change my clothes too."

Half an hour later, the two of them, looking neat and tidy, left the house. Chen Jialuo was wearing clothes from the Luo family's high-end menswear brand, which he owned.

Huang Yazi was wearing a dress from Liana, a high-end women's clothing brand owned by Chen Jialuo. Both brands' designs were copied by Chen Jialuo from popular styles of famous brands, emphasizing simplicity and elegance.

· ····Requesting flowers···· ·······

It is very popular among Hong Kong's upper class. Some ordinary people have to save up for two or three months to buy one. It has become a luxury item, just like cameras and Rolex watches.

The two walked hand in hand down the street, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, attracting a lot of attention. No one knew that they were the strange combination of a gangster and a police officer.

Amidst the crowd, Huang Yazi's heart was filled with happiness. Upon seeing the wishing well, she exchanged some coins and, imitating other people making wishes, tossed the coins into the mouth of the turtle statue in the middle of the pool.

... .... 0

If one coin doesn't go in, try two; if two don't work, try three. It seems that once the coin goes in, everything will go smoothly and you'll have all your wishes fulfilled.

Looking at her anxious expression, Chen Jialuo smiled and said, "It's fake. Even if you go in, it won't change anything. Everything still depends on people."

He couldn't help but wonder, are all women like this? Reason is always defeated by emotion. They know these things are not very useful, but they still do these useless things.

Huang Yazi ignored Chen Jialuo and continued to tossing coins into the container, saying, "You don't understand anything."
