Hong Kong variety show: From being bitten by a cockroach to becoming a legend

Chapter 175 Dogs Bite Dogs

Tsz Wan Shan, the headquarters of Cheng Hing Development Group.

Having just finished a round of high-level meetings and initially streamlined the group's structure, Song Zhaowen leaned back, right against the ample bosom of Limei.

Her slender fingers massaged his temples clockwise.

Xiao Zhuoxiao knocked on the door and came in, holding several documents in his hand: "Brother Wen, these are the preliminary personnel lists and organizational charts for the property management company, security company, and entertainment company. Please take a look. Also, regarding the candidates for your driver and assistant that you asked me to provide before, we have shortlisted a few. Their backgrounds have all been checked, and they seem to be fine. Here are the documents."

Since the Zhengxing Society is being organized into a group, its previous rough management style is definitely not going to work.

The company's staff alone couldn't handle such a large undertaking.

Therefore, in addition to its regular recruitment efforts, Zhengxing Development Group is also seeking various talents from the public.

Song Zhaowen took the document and casually flipped through it.

He couldn't possibly review all the other positions, but he had to personally oversee the personal drivers and assistants.

"what?"

When he saw a familiar name, Song Zhaowen's lips curled up slightly.

"Chen Yongren?"

The name sounded familiar, and upon looking at the photo on the resume, Song Zhaowen finally understood the sense of familiarity. Wasn't this the undercover police officer working for Han Chen, the spy from Infernal Affairs?

I don't know which group of people placed him in Zhengxing.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the boss?" Xiao Zhuoxiao leaned closer.

Song Zhaowen pointed at Chen Yongren's headshot: "This guy is a cop, an undercover agent."

Although I don't know why my boss is so sure this person is a cop.

But Xiao Zhuoxiao trusts him unconditionally!

"Damn it! I'll have someone sink him into the sea right now."

Song Zhaowen raised his hand to stop Xiao Zhuoxiao, chuckled, put down the documents, and tapped his fingers lightly on the smooth table: "Xiao, don't be so quick to threaten violence. We are a legitimate company now. Besides, it's pointless to just deal with a fish that jumped out of its own lap like this."

Xiao Zhuoxiao was taken aback for a moment, then realized what he meant: "Brother Wen, you mean—to turn the tables on them?"

"Smart." Song Zhaowen nodded approvingly. "Since the other side has gone to such lengths to deliver their pawn right under our noses, if he gets into trouble, there will be a second, a third, and so on... Keeping Chen Yongren around serves two purposes: first, it makes the people behind him think their plan has succeeded and lower their guard; second, we can use him to send out information we want the other side to know."

The message was sent out.

He picked up another document, Xie Peizhi's resume. Looking at her beautiful yet slightly wild face, Song Zhaowen's smile deepened.

Hsieh Pei-chih will be the future Tung Sing's Rouge Tiger.

Fortunately, Song Zhaowen was from the future and clearly remembered these famous figures.

Otherwise, who knows how many secrets would have infiltrated the company.

"Boss, is this woman also an undercover cop?"

Song Zhaowen shook his head: "Her? Just a whore from Dongxing!"

Xiao Zhuoxiao frowned, a cold glint in his eyes: "Dongxing Bai Tou Weng's men? That old bastard didn't learn his lesson at Lu Yu Tea House last time, and he still dares to pull this stunt? Brother Wen, we can't touch the cops, but we can surely handle this woman, right?"

Song Zhaowen waved his hand, placed the two resumes side by side on his desk, leaned forward slightly, and scanned back and forth between the photos of Chen Yongren and Xie Peizhi, as if admiring two interesting collectibles.

"An undercover police officer, an undercover gang member, and a female undercover agent at that—haha, I, Song Zhaowen, really have a lot of influence; both the underworld and the legitimate world are looking out for me like this."

"Ah-Xiao, hire Chen Yongren through the normal process, and make him my driver. Let him drive that new Mercedes S600. Have the technical team modify the car so they can record even his farts. Also, assign him an assistant, find him a clever one."

"Tell this old buddy to pretend to be the convoy dispatcher, but actually keep an eye on his every move."

Xiao Zhuoxiao couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Brother Wen, you're using the undercover agent as an intelligence relay station."

"As for Xie Peizhi—" Song Zhaowen pondered for a moment: "Doesn't Tony own an adult film company? Send her there and let Tony figure out a way to get her to be the lead actress in an adult film. It would be such a waste for Da Bo not to be making movies."

Xiao Zhuoxiao was taken aback at first, then a mischievous smile appeared on his face that all men understood: "Brother Wen, your move is brilliant! Tony is a master at dealing with women, he'll make her forget everything else and have a blast."

"No." Song Zhaowen suddenly shook his head, but the smile on his lips didn't fade. "When I said 'shooting porn,' I was just kidding."

Xiao Zhuoxiao was taken aback: "Huh?"

Song Zhaowen leaned back in his chair, and Li Mei handed him a cup of warm ginseng tea at the opportune moment. He took it and slowly sipped it: "A woman that even Dongxing Bai Tou Weng (a famous Chinese medicine practitioner) could take a liking to is definitely not an ordinary person. It would be a pity to ruin such a woman."

Xiao Zhuoxiao frowned: "Boss, you can't be so lenient with her just because she's pretty. Gangster girls are all sluts and whores. Who knows how many men she's slept with in Dongxing, and who knows if she has any diseases."

"Hahaha, Ah-Xiao, we've been brothers for so many years, I'm only interested in the original."

"Ah-Xiao, tell me, what does the old man with white hair want most from her?"

Xiao Zhuoxiao thought for a moment: "They just want to get close to you, to find out information, or—to find an opportunity to harm you."

"That's right." Song Zhaowen nodded. "But he also knows that if sending a pretty woman could easily kill me, Song Zhaowen, I wouldn't be alive today. So, his bigger goal is to gather intelligence and understand our movements. He learned his lesson last time and doesn't dare to act openly now, so he wants to use underhanded tactics."

"Therefore, we should do the opposite."

Xiao Zhuoxiao seemed thoughtful: "Brother Wen, you mean—give her false information?"

A calculating glint flashed in Song Zhaowen's eyes: "I'm going to use her and Chen Yongren to make Dongxing and the cops fight like dogs."

"Boss, I'll do whatever you say~"

Chen Yongren and Xie Peizhi received their job offers almost simultaneously.

Chen Yongren was officially hired as the group chairman's personal driver. He had a three-month probationary period with a generous salary and was also assigned an "experienced" senior driver as his partner and mentor.

Xie Peizhi was hired as the group chairman's personal assistant, responsible for arranging schedules, handling daily chores, and accompanying him to some non-core business activities. She also has a three-month probationary period and enjoys generous compensation.

Both of them showed just the right amount of surprise and gratitude, completed the onboarding process, and received their work permits and uniforms.

Chen Yongren was taken to the underground parking garage and given a black Mercedes-Benz S600. The car looked brand new and had excellent performance. His "partner" was a middle-aged man named Ahui, who looked honest and simple, didn't talk much, but always had a smile on his face.

"Ah Ren, from now on you'll drive this car, specifically for picking up and dropping off Brother Wen." Ah Hui patted Chen Yongren on the shoulder. "Brother Wen has high standards for his drivers, but he's a good guy. As long as you do your job well, he won't treat his brothers unfairly. By the way, some of the equipment in the car is new; I'll teach you how to use it—"

Hsieh Pei-chih was taken to the top floor's president's office area and assigned a small cubicle near Song Zhaowen's office. Her direct supervisor was Li Mei, and her job was tedious and simple, consisting of checking itineraries, booking restaurants and hotels, preparing meeting materials, and even selecting clothing and accessories for Song Zhaowen to attend different occasions.

"Miss Xie, Brother Wen's schedule is quite full, and he's very busy. You need to get to know him as soon as possible," Li Mei instructed businesslike. "If you don't understand anything, you can ask me. Remember, talk less, observe more, and do more."

"Yes, Miss Limei, I will do my best." Xie Peizhi smiled politely, but her eyes were secretly taking in the environment and people on this floor. She noticed that Song Zhaowen's office door was closed, and two bodyguards who looked like they were not to be trifled with were standing at the door. Although her position was close, there was still Limei's desk and some filing cabinets between them, so their line of sight was not direct.

In the following days, Chen Yongren and Xie Peizhi both began their "new jobs" at Zhengxing Development Group.

Chen Yongren arrives at work early every day to check the vehicles and familiarize himself with the routes. He is taciturn, but drives extremely smoothly and swiftly. His partner, Ahui, seems very satisfied with him and often praises him to Song Zhaowen, saying, "He drives steadily and is reliable."

Chen Yongren also kept his "driver" identity in mind, rarely saying more than necessary, but always keeping his ears perked up.

It captures any possible information from inside the vehicle.

With her outstanding looks and social skills, Xie Peizhi quickly became friends with the several clerks in the president's office and also got a general idea of ​​Song Zhaowen's schedule and preferences. She was meticulous in her work and occasionally offered some good suggestions, which made Li Mei secretly nod in approval.

On the surface, everything was calm and peaceful, and both of them seemed to have successfully integrated into their new environment.

But they didn't know that from the moment they stepped into the Zhengxing Building, they were already in a meticulously woven surveillance network.

Song Zhaowen remained calm and composed, handling the group's affairs as usual, meeting with various figures, and promoting Man Kee Properties' acquisition plan for the Ding Quan in Yuen Long.

He would occasionally ride in Chen Yongren's car and would also ask Xie Peizhi to handle some trivial personal matters. He treated the two of them with a neutral attitude, neither particularly close nor deliberately distant, which was completely in line with the attitude of a normal boss towards new employees.

Secretly, brief reports about the two men's whereabouts, contacts, and even private conversations were delivered to Song Zhaowen's desk every day.

"After finishing get off work, Chan Wing-yan went to an old-fashioned tea restaurant in Sham Shui Po and sat alone for half an hour without contacting anyone. However, he had a habit of going up to the rooftop for half an hour before leaving each time, which meant he had a contact person there. The brothers did not follow him up so as not to alert him."

"Hsieh Pei-chih made an international call from her office extension. The call lasted two minutes and seventeen seconds and contained coded language such as 'Work is going well,' 'Adapting to the environment,' seemingly to reassure Tung Sing."

Looking at these reports, Song Zhaowen's lips would always curl into a meaningful smile.

The fish have already entered the net and are behaving very professionally.

It's time to start "feeding".
