“Xu Huaqiang, our Brother Jun said he’s the head of Hung Hing. What’s your status at Sun Kee? Are you even worthy to talk to him?”
"..."
Dafei's words were like a sharp sword piercing Xu Huaqiang's heart, causing his anger to surge from his heart to the top of his head.
"Dafei, are these Li Jun's exact words?"
After taking two deep breaths, Xu Huaqiang forcibly suppressed his anger and asked.
"Yes, Xu Huaqiang, go find a mirror and look at yourself!"
After saying that, Dafei hung up the phone immediately.
"grass!"
Xu Huaqiang could no longer suppress his anger. He cursed and slammed the mobile phone in his hand against the wall with a loud bang.
As the tenth son of the Xu family, he had never suffered such injustice since he started his career.
At this moment, Xu Huaqiang's face was even more ashen than if his mother had died!
He stood there, took dozens of deep breaths to suppress the anger in his heart, and after pondering for a long time, Xu Huaqiang walked to the telephone not far away, picked up the receiver, and dialed a number.
"I am Xu Huaqiang, and I am looking for my elder brother."
After the call connected, Xu Huaqiang slowly began to speak.
Two years ago, Xu Huaqiang seized the opportunity and boarded the fast train of the development of Hong Kong's film and entertainment industry. In the past two years, he has made a fortune, and his status in the New Club has also risen. Everyone who sees him has to call him Mr. Xu. He is no longer the Tenth Young Master he used to be.
That's why Xu Huaqiang went directly to Li Jun after receiving Fang Menghua's call, only to be humiliated on the spot by Li Jun and nearly died of anger.
Despite this, Xu Huaqiang did not give up. He understood that if he could help TVB in this matter, he would gain favor with TVB and his film company would develop even faster.
However, Xu Huaqiang was unaware that his phone call had gotten him and Xinji into a huge mess...
[078] This will be a storm that sweeps across the entire Hong Kong Island underworld.
Kadoorie Hill villa area.
Like Li Jieying's family, Xu Huayan, the head of the Xinji Group, also owns a villa located in the Kadoorie Hill villa area.
However, unlike Li Jieying's villa, which is located at the top of Kadoorie Hill, Xu Huayan's villa is situated on the mountainside.
The difference in status between the two families is immediately apparent from the height of their villas; one stands high above the other, while the other can only look up in awe.
At this moment, Xu Huayan was talking with his son Xu Baishi in the study.
"Dad, are you kidding me? Ma Wenfeng is clearly no longer capable of inheriting the Guo Group, and you still want me to pursue her? That woman is crazy!"
Xu Baishi recalled Ma Wenfeng's insane appearance, and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes.
"Although she cannot inherit the Guo Group, the shares belonging to the Ma family within the Guo Group still belong to her. The Guo Group is already preparing to start construction on Baishi Island, and the value of the Guo Group's stock is also rising. She is still the best choice for your current wife."
At this point, Xu Huayan's tone changed slightly, "Besides, women, if you marry them and train them a bit, they'll behave, right? Anyway, the Guo family won't stand up for the Ma family."
"Dad, hehe, you're the one who understands me best."
Upon hearing Xu Huayan's words, Xu Baishi immediately smiled, as if to say, "I understand."
“Bai Shi, our Xu family has been in Hong Kong for 40 years, and even though I took over more than 20 years ago, we’ve always been just a little short of being a truly wealthy family. Do you know why?”
Xu Huayan said slowly.
"Money, power, and fame—these are nothing more than these three things."
Xu Baishi replied.
"Wrong. We have plenty of money, but we Chinese in Hong Kong have no power. As for fame, haha, the Li family, who are just opium dealers, can become a wealthy family. Our Xu family is just a triad, why should we be inferior to them?"
At this point, Xu Huayan slowly said, "Bai Shi, what we lack is value! Value to be used by those above us."
Xu Huayan sighed slightly: "In the end, the gang is just a chamber pot for those in power, something that can't be brought to the table, unless we can have greater value."
"Dad, for example?"
Xu Baishi immediately asked.
Do you know why casinos are not allowed on Hong Kong Island?
Xu Huayan seemed to be giving an irrelevant answer.
Xu Baishi shook his head.
“In the past, those with power and influence had already made their living in Macau, so of course they didn’t want casinos on Hong Kong Island to steal Macau’s business. But so many years have passed, and new forces have grown up and flourished. Their thoughts are different from those of the old forces.”
Xu Huayan said quietly, "Just watch. The casino on Baishi Island is said to be built by the Portuguese in Macau, but it's actually a test by the new forces against the old forces. Just watch, the casino on Baishi Island won't be built so easily. Baishi, you were right not to offend Li Jun. Facing the old forces in Hong Kong, even if our New Club goes all in, we might not be able to withstand it!"
"Dad, does that mean Li Jun is doomed to lose?"
Xu Baishi asked with some curiosity.
“I don’t understand it either. However, if the Baishi Island casino can be established, Ma Wenfeng’s shares in the Guo Group will become very important. Baishi, you should understand why I asked you to continue pursuing Ma Wenfeng, right?”
Xu Huayan looked at Xu Baishi and spoke slowly, word by word.
"Dad, I understand. I'll go apologize to Ma Wenfeng later."
Xu Baishi said slowly.
"Shiraishi, I'm sorry, but this is our responsibility as the eldest son of the Xu family."
Xu Huayan said with a helpless expression.
‘Dong dong dong~’
After Xu Huayan finished speaking, before Xu Baishi could speak, there was a knock on the door.
Then, Xu Ba, the Xu family's butler, spoke into the study: "Master, Tenth Master is looking for you."
"Is Lao Shi looking for me?"
Hearing the butler's words, Xu Huayan was slightly taken aback. Then, as he stood up, he said to Xu Baishi, "Baishi, thank you for your hard work."
One minute later.
"Tenth Brother, what's the matter?"
After sitting down on the sofa, Xu Huayan picked up the microphone beside him and asked.
"Brother, Fang Menghua from TVB contacted me earlier... I just went to see Li Jun..."
Xu Huaqiang recounted the events that had just occurred to Xu Huayan in detail.
"Tenth Brother, what are you trying to say?"
After hearing Xu Huaqiang's words, Xu Huayan's face darkened, and he asked in a low voice.
"Boss, they're clearly looking down on me, the tenth son of the Xu family. I have no choice but to ask you, the new head of the detective agency, to handle this. I heard that Li Zhan's villa is also in Kadoorie Hill, otherwise..."
861064746
975632410
Before Xu Huaqiang could finish speaking, Xu Huayan interrupted him: "Nonsense! What kind of status does the Li family have, and what kind of status does our Xu family have? Going directly to Li Zhan's door? How dare you say that? What if he thinks we're there to threaten him?"
"Brother, can't you at least go see Li Jun? I promised Fang Menghua, you can't expect me to go back on my word, can you?"
Xu Huaqiang had long anticipated that his elder brother would not go to see Li Zhan; what he truly wanted was for his elder brother to go to see Li Jun.
"..."
After listening to Xu Huaqiang's words, Xu Huayan pondered for a long time before speaking: "Tenth Brother, you promised Fang Menghua this matter. You handle it yourself. Once I go to see Li Jun, there will be no room for maneuver."
Xu Huayan wasn't afraid of Li Jun, but the Baishi Island casino was about to open, and if he made a move now, he might be seen as an enemy by the new forces, which would be very disadvantageous for Xu Huayan.
After saying that, Xu Huayan hung up the phone.
'Beep beep beep~'
"grass!"
'Snapped! '
Upon hearing the busy tone on the phone, Xu Huaqiang's anger flared up again, even more intensely than before.
Previously, Li Jun could be dismissed as an outsider, but now even his own elder brother was rejecting him. Xu Huaqiang was furious and smashed the telephone receiver on the phone.
"Li Jun!"
Xu Huaqiang said through gritted teeth.
After a moment's hesitation, he picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"Sister Menghua, it's me, Xu Huaqiang."
After the call connected, Xu Huaqiang said with a smile.
"Huaqiang, is there any progress on what I told you this morning?"
On the other end of the phone, Fang Menghua asked with a smile.
In fact, Fang Menghua didn't take the threats from Li Jun's men seriously at all.
This kind of thing is incredibly powerful in the film and entertainment industry, forcing people to switch jobs, forcing them to film, and even forcing actresses to accompany powerful figures.
Fang Menghua asked Xu Huaqiang to do this for two reasons: first, because Xu Huaqiang was a member of the Xu family, and second, because Xu Huaqiang was also a semi-insider in the circle, so Fang Menghua could easily get him to do things.
