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

"What do you mean? I don't understand what you're saying!"

Despite his years of experience, Luo Dingkun could not hide the fleeting panic in his eyes, a panic that Lin Xiaoru keenly caught.

"It's okay if you don't understand, I'll explain it to you slowly, Mr. Luo!"

Actually, I'm not as successful as you guys, Mr. Law. I've made a little money selling fruit in Yau Ma Tei and am thinking of doing some engineering business to expand my business.

I know all sorts of people, and when the robbery happened at Xincheng Plaza this morning, I immediately found out who did it!

Lin Xiaoru paused for a moment, glanced at Luo Dingkun, and then exaggerated.

"Don't misunderstand, Mr. Luo, I didn't do this!"

If you don't believe me, we can go to the police station to report this now, and I guarantee they'll arrest these thugs before you even have dinner, and all your company's losses will be returned!"

goo-dong-

Luo Dingkun swallowed hard and forced a smile that looked worse than a grimace.

It seems that fate is truly not on his side this time. If these robbers are apprehended tonight, he won't even have a chance to maneuver.

The moment he gives his statement at the police station is the moment he goes to jail to await trial!

Luo Dingkun felt he needed to say something, trying to keep his facial expression natural, and he began to try to get closer to Lin Xiaoru.

A thought flashed through his mind, and he realized that he hadn't listened carefully to Lin Xiaoru's self-introduction at all, and hadn't even remembered his name.

"Excuse me, sir/madam!"

Luo Dingkun got up, picked up the business card Lin Xiaoru had tossed on the table, and looked at it closely. His expression turned somewhat strange.

"This is... a VIP card for Century City Sauna?"

"Excuse me, Mr. Luo, I took the wrong one!"

Lin Xiaoru chuckled awkwardly, then quickly pulled out another business card from her pocket. She glanced at it herself to make sure it was correct before handing it to Luo Dingkun.

This time, Luo Dingkun reached out with both hands to catch it.

"So it's Mr. Lin, nice to meet you!"

"Since Mr. Lin knows the whereabouts of these robbers, why didn't you go directly to the police station to report it, instead of coming to me?"

"Alright, Mr. Luo, stop testing me."

We're all smart people. I know you falsified the company's accounts, so if I'm here to talk to you, I certainly won't put you in a difficult position.

They're all business people here; of course they're here to talk business with you!

As Lin Xiaoru spoke, she took out a cigarette case from her pocket, pulled one out, and waved it in front of Luo Dingkun.

"Would you mind if I had a cigarette?"

"No problem, no problem at all. If Mr. Lin likes it, I have some cigars here."

Hearing that Lin Xiaoru wasn't there to cause him trouble, Luo Dingkun felt a little relieved. He immediately put on a fawning smile, opened his desk drawer, took out a lighter, and lit the red cigarette for Lin Xiaoru.

"Mr. Lin, I also have my own difficulties!"

The company entrusted me with such a large undertaking, and it must have cost a lot of money to manage things from top to bottom.

I don't look at the company's accounts...

"Alright, Mr. Luo, stop pouring out your troubles to me. Let's get down to business!"

Lin Xiaoru exhaled a long puff of smoke and, after Luo Dingkun sat down again, spoke directly.

"If Mr. Law is happy, I guarantee the cops will never find out where these robbers are in their lifetime."

"A deal worth over 13 million, in exchange for me taking over that project in Causeway Bay—it's an equal exchange. It's not like I'm bullying anyone, is it?"

Luo Dingkun had already taken a serious look and nodded to Lin Xiaoru first.

"Mr. Lin, actually, I have already drawn up the engineering drawings. If your construction team is reliable, you can just start working directly by referring to the drawings."

There's one thing I need to tell you beforehand: since it's a new store opening in Causeway Bay, the board of directors is taking this tender very seriously.

If Mr. Lin is in trouble, I can even prepare the tender documents for you.

There's only one thing that can't be faked: what's the current size of Mr. Lin's construction team?

This question touched a nerve with Lin Xiaoru.

He didn't target Sogo Jewelry earlier because he had done his homework.

Fatty Cong and his dozen or so men are capable of handling basic exterior decoration projects, but when it comes to undertaking the systematic decoration of a luxury jewelry store, their manpower and resources are simply insufficient.

This isn't something Luo Dingkun can decide on his own; he certainly can't fool the board of directors of SOGO Jewelry.

If we had been able to acquire all of Boss Gui's team earlier, there might have been room for negotiation.

But the problem is that Lin Xiaoru didn't have that much of an appetite back then.

However, anything is possible with effort. As long as Luo Dingkun agrees, Lin Xiaoru feels that working overtime to get a complete engineering team on board shouldn't be a problem.

"Mr. Luo, this is also something I'd like to talk to you about."

To be honest, my construction team, including myself as the boss, only has eighteen people.

"Eighteen people? That's not too bad. We can work on outsourcing."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Luo, my team doesn't have much experience in large-scale construction; they only know how to do exterior work!"

"this……"

Luo Dingkun was at a loss, but he gritted his teeth and asked again.

"Mr. Lin, would you be willing to share some information about your company's qualifications and background?"

"The company was registered half a month ago, and as for its foundation... apart from a warehouse in Kwun Tong, it basically has no other large facilities!"

Luo Dingkun felt a sharp pain in his head.

After pondering for a while, Luo Dingkun spoke again, rubbing his head in thought.

"Mr. Lin, I have a suggestion for you, please take a look."

Within a week, whether you lend out employees or embellish the company, you should expand your company to more than thirty people as soon as possible. In any case, all these people should have an employment report from your company.

Once you get the tender documents, you can fire all these people without any problem.

I will draft a new budget report, increase the budget, and submit it to the board of directors. At that time, I will have a reason to convince the board to give you the bid on the grounds of saving the budget.

If there are any problems with the construction, I'll recommend a reliable outsourcing team to you. You'll resell it, and I guarantee you'll still make a good profit!

After saying that, Luo Dingkun looked at Lin Xiaoru expectantly, hoping for a reply.

Lin Xiaoru waited for Luo Dingkun to continue, still smoking, until he remained silent for a while before finally speaking, still holding the cigarette.

"Are you done talking?"

"That's all!"

"It's that simple?"

"Mr. Lin, renovation is not like building a house. It's a big project, but it's just a matter of knocking down a few walls."

If you can handle what I just mentioned, I can get the tender documents submitted to your company immediately!

Swah——

Lin Xiaoru stood up and extended her right hand toward Luo Dingkun.

"Mr. Luo, it's a pleasure doing business with you!"

"It's...please feel free to cooperate...By the way, here's my business card. Call me anytime if you need anything!"

After Luo Dingkun stood up and shook hands with Lin Xiaoru, he didn't forget to hand her his business card.

Upon unfolding the business card, Lin Xiaoru immediately understood why she had confused the sauna VIP card with her own business card.

Lin Xiaoru put away the business card and turned around.

"See you later, Mr. Luo!"

"Wait a moment, Mr. Lin."

Just as Lin Xiaoru turned to leave, Luo Dingkun called out to her.

"Um?"

"Mr. Lin, things can change in the long run. If possible, I'd like to get a good night's sleep too!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Luo, I'm a man of my word. We'll have plenty of opportunities to cooperate in the future!"

Lin Xiaoru gave Luo Dingkun an "OK" sign, chuckled, and then strode out of the office.

boom--

As Lin Xiaoru closed the office door again, Luo Dingkun plopped down in a chair.

He touched his half-bald forehead and discovered that his entire palm was soaked with sweat...
