Hong Kong film: As a boss, I use money to make decisions.

In the late 1980s, a grand funeral was being held in a housing estate near Battery Street in Yau Ma Tei, Hong Kong Island.

A silver Mercedes-Benz drove from Jordan Road and came to a smooth stop in front of a teahouse on the outskirts of the housing estate.

The driver, Taibao, parked the car and got out with a big smile on his face, jogging to open the back door.

"Brother Xiao, we've arrived!"

Sitting in the back seat of the car, Lin Xiaoru nodded, then glanced at the watch on her wrist; it was exactly noon.

"Hey, Tai-bao, please be serious. Smiling so happily, people will think you killed Boss Gui!"

"oh!"

Looking at the lovable Taibao, Lin Xiaoru couldn't help but shake her head.

He had only been in this parallel world of Hong Kong variety shows for less than two months when he acquired Tai-bo as a follower.

That's right, it's the Tai-bo from the movie "A Moment of Romance". As for why Tai-bo was taken in as a henchman, there was no other reason than that his car was the best cleaned among all the parking attendants in Yau Ma Tei.

After instructing Tai to wait in the car, Lin Xiaoru walked alone towards the tea room.

Today is the day of the funeral of Mr. Kwai, a leader in the Lai Chi Kok area of ​​Wo Luen Shing. As a member of the new generation of Wo Luen Shing, Lam Siu-yu is here to offer condolences and send Mr. Kwai off on his final journey.

Inside the tea room, Lin Xiaoru's boss, Chuanbao, sat in a spot against the wall, looking preoccupied and quite displeased.

Upon seeing Lin Xiaoru enter, he listlessly put down his teacup and waved to her.

"Ah Xiao, over here!"

"Boss, the wreath will be delivered in ten minutes. Here is 30,000 yuan as condolence money; you can put it all in your name, Ah Da."

Upon seeing Chuanbao, Lin Xiaoru didn't bother with any words and directly threw out the 30,000 taels of silver she had prepared beforehand, placing it in front of Chuanbao.

Chuanbao accepted the money and then gestured for Lin Xiaoru to sit down.

He scraped the stack of brand-new banknotes, then shook his head.

"Damn it, that bastard A-Gui deserves to die!"

I advised him against taking on construction projects in Yuen Long, thinking that this scoundrel could protect him.

He refused to believe it, and as a result, he not only racked up a mountain of debt but also ran away to hide from his creditors, ultimately losing his life!

After venting his frustrations, he still wasn't satisfied with just spitting out the skewers, so he slammed his hand on the table.

"He still owes me 180,000! Now that he's dead, not only can I not get that money back, but I'm also expected to pay him extra as funeral expenses?!"

Lin Xiaoru gestured for the waiter who came to refill her tea to leave, and then handed a cigarette to Chuanbao.

He lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and continued his rant.

"If you ask me, Ah Le is just meddling in other people's business. Why bring him back when he's already rotting and dead in Cambodia?"

Lin Xiaoru then picked up the conversation.

"You can't say that. Boss Gui had stockpiled millions of dollars worth of building materials in Lai Chi Kok. Now that he's dead, he can still get a share of his assets."

Chuanbao glared at Lin Xiaoru, a puff of smoke exhaling from his nostrils.

"What good is that pile of building materials? He has a construction team of over sixty people in Lai Chi Kok, and he still owes them more than two million dollars in wages!"

"That piece of trash, Chuiji, has spoken up: whoever wants a share of Agui's estate has to step in and settle these people's salaries!"

As Chuanbao spoke, his tone became more earnest.

"So, Ah Xiao, it's not that I'm unwilling to help you get Ah Gui's construction team!"

"You have no connections or influence, just stick to the fruit market your father left you, and you'll be fine! The renovation business is not for a greenhorn like you. If you're going to get involved in that, you might as well go sell noodles with Yu Tou Piu in Lei Yue Mun!"

Lin Xiaoru simply shook her head.

"Ah Da, it's all about human effort. My father always taught me when he was alive that I should never do anything illegal, and I would rather sell my ass than sell drugs!"

I was thinking that if the renovation business succeeded, you'd be proud of yourself too.

"You scoundrel, if you're not doing shady stuff, what kind of gang are you in?"

"Damn it! I'm not talking to you anymore. Go make the funeral money first, and you can deliver the wreaths later when they arrive!"

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Lin Xiaoru, Chuanbao didn't bother with any more words. He grabbed the stack of money and swaggered out of the teahouse.

Seeing Chuanbao leave, Lin Xiaoru finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had achieved his goal for the day, and the 30,000 yuan had not been wasted.

"Add a bowl of herbal tea!"

Lin Xiaoru asked the waiter in the tea room for a bowl of tea, but she didn't leave immediately.

Lin Xiaoru is only twenty-three years old this year, and has been a disciple of Chuanbao for less than two months.

Logically speaking, a young man his age who joins a triad shouldn't be qualified to be a boss like himself, an uncle of the Wo Luen Shing triad.

However, Lin Xiaoru's father was a veteran of the same generation as Chuan Bao. Although he hadn't made a name for himself, he was very old-fashioned and valued seniority the most in the Lian Sheng triad.

He even spent 100,000 yuan on a red envelope for the family's initial visit.

Ten thousand yuan—how many of the uncles and elders who have lived to that age can withstand the test of ten thousand yuan?

Transmigrators naturally have their perks. Lin Xiaoru's cheat code for this journey is an encyclopedia system that allows her to look up any information.

The system is very simple; you only need to pay a certain number of points to query all the intelligence information that has already occurred.

Furthermore, the system will automatically determine the value of the points that need to be paid based on the difficulty of different intelligence reports.

As for how to earn points, that's even simpler!

Everyone who works for Lin Xiaoru will have their earnings converted into Lin Xiaoru's points on a one-to-one basis after receiving payment from her!

This means that the more people Lin Xiaoru has under his command, the more means he has to acquire high-value intelligence.

Just as I finished my herbal tea, the floral wreath I ordered in Yau Ma Tei arrived.

Lin Xiaoru instructed the funeral home staff to take the wreaths inside, but she herself was too lazy to go into the mourning hall to pay her respects.

Firstly, he wasn't familiar with Boss Gui at all, and secondly, he wasn't high enough in Wo Shing Wo to be considered a big shot, so nobody cared whether he went or not.

Despite the grand funeral arrangements, it was nothing more than a gathering of the bigwigs of the Lian Sheng Group to discuss how to divide up the fortune left by Boss Gui and how to clean up the mess he left behind.

None of these apply to him; he just needs to wait for the group to take over part of his boss's team for him.

As Lin Xiaoru left Fortress Street, she couldn't help but glance at the white paper fan that was in charge of accepting the condolence money.

He clearly saw in the ledger that the condolence money was recorded as a donation of HK$2000 from his uncle Xu Tianjing in Kwun Tong District.

He took 30,000 as condolence money and left 28,000 for himself. Based on Lin Xiaoru's understanding of him as a big shot, the things he had instructed were pretty much settled.

Back in the car, I saw Taibao wiping something with a rag.

This guy was used to being humble, and when he saw Lin Xiaoru return, he immediately forced a professional smile, opened the car door, and gestured for Lin Xiaoru to get in.

Lin Xiaoru didn't waste any words. She told Taibao to drive, and they drove back to Zhihe Street, a journey of only five minutes.

After telling Taibao to park the car, Lin Xiaoru rushed into her bedroom on the second floor of her fruit market.

Upon arriving in this parallel world of Hong Kong variety shows, Lin Xiaoru felt that her starting point wasn't too low.

At least the original owner's father left him this fruit market, which is 800 feet long.

By paying two months' wages to several workers at the fruit market, Lin Xiaoru has now accumulated some redemption points.

He doesn't care much about the fruit market business now. To be fair, he won't starve no matter what, relying on the fruit market.

But Lin Xiaoru was absolutely not content with this situation. Having come all this way and now with a system at her disposal, how could she be satisfied without striving for great wealth and power?!

"System, check my current points!"

After entering the bedroom and closing the door, Lin Xiaoru silently recited a command and immediately brought up the system panel.

A row of light screens, visible only to Lin Xiaoru, appeared before her eyes.

[Querying points for the host. Currently, the host has 30000 points available.]

Should we conduct an intelligence check?

"Please help me check the latest bidding information for the Dongji Building project in Causeway Bay!"
