The villa's hall was decorated in a magnificent and opulent style, with dazzling crystal chandeliers hanging from the high ceiling, emitting a soft and enchanting light.
The guests at this banquet were all elites from all walks of life in Taiwan, including business tycoons, political figures, socialites and cultural celebrities, all dressed in formal evening attire, suits and ties.
Not far away, there is a well-arranged buffet table where you can choose your food.
As for Deputy Director Gao, he was moving among the guests, chatting warmly with each one, displaying his good manners.
At this moment, Deputy Director Gao saw Ren Jiu approaching and greeted him warmly:
"Mr. Ren, you've arrived."
Ren Jiu also greeted some passing businessmen and government officials. These people all knew Ren Jiu because he was now a big businessman and a star entrepreneur in Taipei.
In particular, Qiangwei instant noodles have become a hit throughout Southeast Asia, and they've already sold out in Taiwan.
These people politely raised their glasses, and respectfully greeted Ren Jiudu:
"Mr. Ren."
Many people came up to greet Ren Jiu, exchanged business cards, and exchanged pleasantries, perhaps even discussing future collaborations with him.
Ren Jiu nodded and accepted all the invitations, toasting and drinking with these people. Having more friends meant having more opportunities. People who could attend Deputy Director Gao's banquet were not ordinary people, and they might actually be able to do business together in the future.
After exchanging greetings, Deputy Director Gao led Ren Jiu to the study on the second floor of the villa. The two sat at the tea table, smoking cigars.
Deputy Director Kao also felt that cooperating with Ren Jiu was the right choice. Now Taipei is peaceful and stable, and he doesn't need to worry about it.
Ren Jiu wasn't like Liu Jian, always trying to stir up trouble in Taipei. Working with Ren Jiu was indeed very pleasant.
Ren Jiu waved his hand, signaling Lao Shuming to open the box, which contained 500 million NT dollars in cash.
"This is a small token of my congratulations to Director Gao on his promotion."
The more power Director Gao wields, the more advantageous it will be for Ren Jiu, since Ren Jiu was able to expand his smuggling business thanks to Deputy Director Gao's authority.
Director Gao looked at the money and smiled. Of course, he was happy to receive money from others. Ren Jiu was always so direct. Giving money was better than giving anything else, and it was the best way to express his feelings.
Director Gao smiled slightly, accepted the money, smoked a cigar, and then said with a smile:
“Mr. Ren, I owe my promotion this time to you. Since your Sanlian Gang took control of Taipei City, the city’s security has improved a lot, and you’ve helped solve many cases. I don’t have to worry about it.”
In addition, Ren Jiu also provided Director Gao with many achievements, which is why Deputy Director Gao was promoted so smoothly.
After Ren Jiu took control of the entire Taipei City, the city's crime-solving rate reached 100%, which was basically all due to Ren Jiu's subordinates cooperating with Director Gao.
You should know that Taipei is full of spies, and Ren Jiu's informants are everywhere. They can find any criminal on the wanted list.
People everywhere, in every corner of the streets and alleys, provide intelligence to Ren Jiu. The police can only mobilize a hundred or two at most, but Ren Jiu has several thousand men under his command. There are also some short mules who have not joined the Sanlian Gang who are willing to provide intelligence.
Of course, all the credit for solving these cases was given to Director Gao, who naturally had a lot of achievements.
This includes Ren Jiu establishing factories, increasing employment, and boosting Taipei's economy. The Qiangwei Group alone has benefited tens of thousands of families. These factors contribute to votes and improve the happiness index of Taipei residents.
Director Gao also deserves credit, and he will appear on television to promote himself. In addition, Director Gao has his own backers. People who reach this position must have someone supporting them.
In the movie, Director Gao has a powerful backer called the Boss Lady. Now that he has achieved political success, he can naturally get promoted. Ren Jiu is not surprised by Director Gao's promotion.
Ren Jiu smiled and then said, "From now on, our Sanlian Gang will need Director Gao's special attention. Director Gao and I have always had a very pleasant working relationship."
Upon hearing this, Director Gao understood Ren Jiu's meaning and smiled, "No problem. Mr. Ren is now a star entrepreneur. We can cooperate for mutual benefit and make money together. The common goal is long-term social stability. I hope we can cooperate happily."
"Pleasant to work with."
Ren Jiu and Director Gao exchanged a glance, both smiling knowingly how to extract benefits from each other.
Chapter Ninety-One: Chen Hui, Captain of the Police Station, Four Seas Alliance
After Ren Jiu came out of Director Gao's study, he was followed by Lao Shuming. Today was Director Gao's promotion banquet, and as the host, Director Gao naturally couldn't talk to Ren Jiu for too long.
He needed to entertain the guests, and after Ren Jiu finished presenting the gifts, he knew that Director Gao, as the organizer, couldn't disappear for too long, so he returned to the first floor.
Just then, Ren Jiu glanced over and saw a familiar figure—it was Chen Hui, the man he had been dealing with before. Chen Hui was standing at the self-service condiment station, wolfing down his food like a starving ghost, completely disregarding his image as he ate and drank to his heart's content.
All the other guests were very polite, eating the food in small bites and paying great attention to etiquette.
Chen Hui, meanwhile, was eating meat heartily, with red wine beside him, which he drank in one gulp.
At this moment, Ren Jiu walked over, looked at Chen Hui, and greeted him with a smile:
"Captain Chen, I didn't expect to see you here."
Ren Jiu was somewhat surprised to see Chen Hui here, since the banquet hosted by Director Gao was frequented by celebrities and high-ranking officials in Taipei.
Ren Jiu then paused and said, "Chen Hui, you're eating so fast, wolfing it down, like you haven't eaten for three days."
Hearing this, Chen Hui merely glanced at Ren Jiu, continued eating his steak, and even let out a burp before saying:
“I just finished a case. I only had a mouthful of porridge this morning and haven’t eaten anything since. Do you think we’re all like you, with nothing to do and eating imported steaks and air-freighted Australian lobsters every day?”
Chen Hui glanced at Ren Jiu, rolled his eyes, and his mouth was as sharp as ever, immediately insulting Ren Jiu as soon as he opened his mouth.
Ren Jiu didn't care at all; he was already used to Chen Hui's sharp tongue. He then shrugged and pretended to be helpless, saying:
"I can't help it, it's because I earn so much."
Upon hearing this, Chen Hui was speechless and had no way to refute it. Ren Jiu was now a well-known entrepreneur in Taipei, and even he had heard of the Qiangwei Group.
When the cops at the police station work overtime, they sometimes eat Qiangwei instant noodles from Renjiu's company. Although Chen Hui and Renjiu have different stances, Qiangwei instant noodles are indeed a good product.
It's normal for them to work overtime. Qiangwei instant noodles only need a cup of hot water to solve their hunger problem. Chen Hui has naturally tried them before, and the taste is not bad. Chen Hui knows how popular Ren Jiu's instant noodles are.
Moreover, he knew that Ren Jiu's business was very large and had created many jobs and tax revenues for Taipei City. Chen Hui could find out the details with a little investigation.
On the other side, after Director Gao had been entertaining a few people with his wine glass, he saw Ren Jiu chatting with Chen Hui. He then walked over and learned that Ren Jiu and Chen Hui had some conflicts before.
Director Gao had once reprimanded Chen Hui, telling him not to cause trouble for Ren Jiu. Then, Director Gao smiled at Ren Jiu and said:
“Mr. Ren, you are all old acquaintances, so I don’t need to introduce you. Chen Hui is very reliable and I admire him. You can just talk things out about your past grievances.”
After becoming the director, Director Gao also needed to cultivate his own confidants. Chen Hui was a down-to-earth and hardworking man with outstanding abilities. He had solved many cases, and Director Gao appreciated him.
Although Chen Hui is a bit stubborn, his abilities are undeniable, and he is a good cop. So he said a few words to Ren Jiu, hoping that they would not have conflicts because of their previous grudges.
Hearing Director Gao's words, Ren Jiu naturally understood what he meant. He had no intention of causing trouble for Chen Hui, so he smiled and said:
"Ah Hui and I are good brothers. We've known each other for a long time, and we'll definitely be able to work together even better in the future."
Before Ren Jiu rose to prominence, he had been dealing with Chen Hui since he was a minor hall master, and they were quite familiar with each other.
Chen Hui rolled his eyes and couldn't help but say:
"Who says you're my best friend?"
He and Ren Jiu are enemies; he is an official, and Ren Jiu is a thief. They are irreconcilable.
Chen Hui looked disgusted, but Ren Jiu didn't care. He already knew that Chen Hui's attitude wouldn't change. In fact, he admired people like Chen Hui.
Director Gao smiled and said, "I'm relieved to see how close you two are. Ah Hui, please cooperate with Mr. Ren more in the future. Mr. Ren is a well-known entrepreneur in Taipei."
Upon hearing this, Chen Hui had no choice but to nod, since Director Gao was now his superior.
After they finished talking, Ren Jiu turned and left, ignoring Chen Hui, that hothead. If he said a few more words, Chen Hui might find another excuse to come to him for food and drinks.
Ren Jiu then strolled around the banquet, getting to know some celebrities and exchanging greetings. After all, those who could attend Director Gao's banquet were all prominent figures in Taipei City, and there was no harm in Ren Jiu building good relationships with them.
When the banquet ended, Ren Jiu left with Lao Shuming and the others.
……
A day later, Chen Hui was processing documents in the police station's office; there were fewer documents on his desk now.
Since Taipei City came under the administration of Renjiu, the crime rate has dropped sharply. Most of the gangsters are restrained by the Sanlian Gang and do not cause trouble or break the rules.
This made Chen Hui feel more favorably disposed towards Ren Jiu. Just then, one of his subordinates hurriedly walked over, his face somewhat grim. He looked at Chen Hui and then said:
"Sir, we found some number four members in Snake Eyes' territory of the Triad."
Upon hearing this, Chen Hui frowned, somewhat surprised. Ever since Ren Jiu and the Sanlian Gang took control of the entire Taipei City, Ren Jiu had not allowed anyone to sell No. 4 in Taipei City.
Making this kind of money is utterly immoral and will ruin other people's lives. That's why no one in Taipei City used to sell "number four" (a type of slang term for adult content). But now, "number four" has reappeared in Taipei City.
He didn't know if this matter had anything to do with Ren Jiu, or if it was just his subordinates acting on their own initiative.
Chen Hui nodded and said, "I understand."
After saying that, Chen Hui picked up the phone and called Director Gao to report the matter. Number Four had always been a target of the police's crackdown, and even a top priority.
The case involving number four is far more serious than the brawl involving short mules. The call was quickly connected, and Director Gao asked:
"Ah Hui, what's wrong?"
Chen Hui respectfully said, "Director Gao, we found Number Four in one of the Sanlian Gang's venues in Taipei."
Upon hearing this, Director Gao's expression turned slightly unpleasant. He knew that Ren Jiu did not touch the "Number Four" drugs. When Ren Jiu was cracking down on the Jianhe Association, he even gave him a batch of "Number Four" drugs as a political achievement, but he did not sell them privately.
Director Gao then said, "I know about this matter, but don't worry about it for now."
Director Gao didn't want to escalate the matter, and he also wanted to ask Ren Jiu what exactly happened.
Hearing this, Chen Hui nodded: "I understand, Director Gao."
……
At the Intercontinental Stadium in Taipei, Xiao Mei was dressed in tennis attire and a tennis cap. She looked youthful and beautiful, with a great figure and her fair thighs showing.
Xiao Mei and Ren Jiu are playing tennis here. Xiao Mei also often works out to maintain her figure, and tennis is one of her favorite sports.
