Hong Kong variety show: From a lowly 49-year-old to the world's richest man

Chapter 85 Li Xin'er's Sudden Arrival

"You all probably know about tonight's boxing match."

"To prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to cause trouble, you, Airplane, will lead the team to guard this half of Ladies' Street; Dongguan Boy, you will guard the other side of Sneaker Street."

Jimmy and Watson, you two guard the factory. This task is very important and challenging. Contact Uncle Da every hour to let him know you're safe. You absolutely cannot disrupt the factory's operation.

Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be beaten until they are afraid and become cowardly.

"If it really comes to a fight, Uncle Tat, you'll be in charge of mobilizing manpower. If that's not enough, wave the flag; if that's still not enough, contact Handsome Kun's henchman, Silly Strong. They've reserved enough men to prepare for battle."

Although Chen Fan knew that the possibility of someone causing trouble was very small, he still had to take precautions.

His territory is so small that even losing half of it would be painful for him, mainly because of the loss of face.

Last night he fabricated a story about Wang Jiu to gain some fame, but fame has its advantages and disadvantages. Who knows if some hothead will try to cause trouble and stand out?

For a newcomer to the workforce who wants to get ahead, the only shortcut is to find an established big shot to step on and kick, or better yet, take their place.

Chen Fan is now a prominent figure in the martial arts world. Those hotheads might not dare to confront him directly, but they can still pull some tricks.

The plane asked in confusion, "Brother Fan, why don't you just contact that idiot Qiang for help?"

'

"It's not worth it to ask for favors for small things." Cao Dahua explained first: "The hardest debt to repay in the martial arts world is a debt of favor. Try not to ask favors for small things that you can handle yourself, and don't owe favors to others."

"oh!"

The plane suddenly realized.

Chen Fan said speechlessly, "I told you guys to come chat with Uncle Da when you have time, and ask him how to survive in the martial arts world, but you guys are always hanging out at the boxing gym."

"Brother Fan, is it possible that Uncle Da is a loner?" Fly chuckled.

Snapped!

He had barely finished speaking when Uncle Da slapped him on the head.

Cao Dahua grabbed his ear, revealing a friendly smile, "You little rascal, tell me who's a loner?"

"I'm talking about myself, about myself."

The fly immediately knelt down.

"As the saying goes, having an elder in the family is like having a treasure," Cao Dahua said. "Your uncle has eaten more salt than you've eaten rice, so be smarter!"

"Uncle Da, you can teach them more in the future." Chen Fan turned to look at Ahua, who had returned from a test drive. "How's the setup at the boxing gym going, Ahua?"

"It's all set up. Ah Long and the others put in a lot of effort, and Brother Sha mobilized more than a dozen people to help maintain order."

"Yes, order cannot be disrupted, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the police."

Generally speaking, barbers will not pay attention to private boxing matches unless there is a safety incident.

Boxing matches that openly offer betting odds are another matter, but gambling is illegal on Hong Kong Island.

However, underground gambling dens are one of the sources of income for many gangs, and there are two in Chen Fan's territory, both of which were set up by people arranged by Chen Yao.

Chen Fan only dislikes gambling addicts. Occasionally playing a couple of rounds of gambling for fun is normal in Hong Kong, where mahjong parlors are everywhere.

Of course, Chen Fan only symbolically arranged for people to patrol those two underground gambling dens periodically. As long as the monthly share was paid and nothing went wrong, he couldn't be bothered to care.

However, when Liang Kun learned about this, he wanted to start a finance company to lend money.

Ironically, this loser didn't even have any money in his own pocket, yet he still tried to trick Chen Fan into investing first. Chen Fan wanted to slap him twice just listening to that.

Just after assigning tasks to everyone, the manager of Jinsha hurriedly found Chen Fan: "Brother Fan, a young lady has come in and wants to see you."

"Miss?" Chen Fan raised an eyebrow. "What's your name?"

"She didn't say. She just said her surname was Li and that she was looking for a patient." The manager looked at Chen Fan with a strange expression.

"What kind of look is that?" Chen Fan glanced at him and emphasized, "Let me make it clear first, I'm not sick. Don't get any ideas, or I'll have someone use a nutcracker to show you what severe kidney deficiency is like."

The surname is Li, and she's looking for patients. Who else could it be but Li Xin'er?

I didn't expect this girl to be so responsible. All I did was sleep with her twice.

They've chased him all the way to his territory; aren't they afraid of walking into the lion's den?

Don't misunderstand, Chen Fan said he slept very plainly, without eating any meat.

They only held hands; they never even kissed.

"No, I never doubted you, Brother Fan."

The manager shook his head repeatedly, legs crossed.

Nutcrackers are indeed used to crack walnuts, but if they're linked to kidney deficiency, wouldn't that cause testicles to burst?

A fatal blow to Kun, you can't joke about that.

"You can doubt them all you want, but dare to doubt me—" Chen Fan made a threatening gesture by grabbing at the air twice, then said, "Help me invite her in."

"You guys go do whatever you need to do. Ah Hua, you contact Ah Wu for me and tell him to hurry up and go to the boxing gym to wait for his turn."

"Damn it, he took my money, ate my aphrodisiac, and even took people to work this morning. Isn't he afraid of working this bastard to death?"

Chen Fan was speechless at A Wu's obsession with money.

He's already made a million, but he never uses the money to have fun. He's always complaining about being short of money. It's no wonder he's so stingy with money; he deserves to keep working until he dies.

Feiji, Dongguanzi, and the others didn't linger and got up to leave to attend to their own business.

Ah Hua and Cao Dahua, on the other hand, walked very slowly, even slower than the old man strolling under the banyan tree.

Filled with curiosity, Li Xin'er followed closely to the door of Chen Fan's office.

"Miss Xin'er, why didn't you call ahead if you were coming to see me? I would have come to pick you up myself."

Hearing Chen Fan's flippant tone, Li Xin'er chuckled and said, "I came to see if you, the city appearance maintenance specialist, are truly dedicated. It seems you're just average, as average as you are."

Upon hearing this, Ah Hua, Cao Dahua, and the nightclub manager, who were still loitering at the door, quickly left this place of trouble.

Before leaving, he made sure to close the door behind him.

"Miss Xin'er thinks I'm just average because there's a barrier between us. That's why you haven't discovered my interesting inner world. Why don't we find some time to let down our guard and have a good talk face-to-face?"

"Your paranoia has gotten worse in just a few days."

Chen Fan said seriously, "Stop. Paranoia is a very serious illness. What you can get is not paranoia; what you can't get is paranoia. And I happen to be confident that I can get it, so I'm not sick."

A hint of sorrow flashed in Li Xin'er's eyes. "Wanting to get someone isn't something you can control. Isn't that just delusional?"

"So you're heartbroken?"

"without--"

"No? Then why are you crying? I didn't bully you, don't try to frame me."

Li Xin'er subconsciously touched the corner of her eye. "You bastard, you tricked me!"

Chen Fan said thoughtfully, "If I remember correctly, Miss Xin'er, didn't you say you were single? You can fall for such low-level remarks. Are you the one with delusions?"

Let me tell you, I have principles, so don't try to act like women from primitive societies, knocking out men with a big stick and dragging them home. That kind of behavior is illegal.

"Go to hell!"

Li Xin'er threw her handbag at Chen Fan.

Seeing this, Chen Fan became even more certain that this woman was in love.

He got up and poured her a glass of water. "Tell me, who dumped you, Miss? Tell me and I'll make fun of him."

Li Xin'er held the water in her hand and remained silent for a few seconds. Then she looked up at Chen Fan and asked seriously, "Do I really look abnormal?"

"It depends on the perspective. From your work standpoint, there might be some issues. As for your personal life, you'd have to let me experience it first before I can answer you."

Li Xin'er rolled her eyes. "Disgusting!"

Chen Fan corrected, "That's called being realistic and pragmatic."

"I—" Li Xin'er hesitated for a few seconds before admitting, "I failed my blind date, just now."

"I can tell."

"Is it obvious?"

"Isn't it obvious enough that it's written all over your face?" Chen Fan paused, then added, "That bastard's around, right? Should I get someone to teach him a lesson and vent your anger?"

"Forget it, he's a lawyer. Besides, are you really involved in organized crime?"

Li Xin'er couldn't tell that this room belonged to a gang leader.

There isn't even an altar for Guan Yu.

"It's the real deal. If you don't believe me, I'll take you to see how the club handles conflicts later."

"It might cause you a little trouble later."

Chen Fan was well aware that he had offended quite a few people.

Before establishing a security company with legal gun licenses, he cannot expose too many weaknesses, otherwise he will be in a very passive position.

"My counseling center has provided services to many departments, especially the police, so you don't need to worry about any gang members daring to attack me. No matter how arrogant they are, can they be more arrogant than the police?"

Chen Fan suddenly realized, "Then there's no problem."

"You're not talking about leading people to sweep the streets and plant flags, are you?" Li Xin'er confirmed.

"That doesn't resolve the conflict, it exacerbates it, my therapist."

"Not street sweeping, is it just smoking?" Li Xin'er couldn't help but re-examine Chen Fan. "You're not the kind of weakling who can be taken down in a few moves, are you?"

Chen Fan was speechless. "I can stay up all night with you and still be full of energy the next day. Do you want to try?"

"If we don't try, our relationship isn't there yet—um."

Li Xin'er's beautiful eyes widened, filled with disbelief.

She was forcibly kissed!

No matter what he did, Chen Fan always kept one sentence in mind: Hesitation leads to defeat!

Since we've already gotten to the point of discussing relationships, who cares how deep the feelings are? Just kiss her first, and we'll see what happens. After all, it's not like I'm the one who's going to suffer.

Li Xin'er was stunned for a full minute before she came to her senses. She quickly pushed Chen Fan away, yelling, "You bastard!"

There was no slap, only a light, coquettish scolding.

Chen Fan chuckled and said, "Sorry, I got a little carried away just now. How about I let you kiss me back?"

"You wish!"

Li Xin'er's chest heaved with anger. How many times had this happened?

From the very first day Chen Fan went to psychological counseling, he kept provoking her. Recently, he's been taking advantage of her, eating her food, drinking her drinks, sleeping with her, using her things, and now he's even kissing her!

"Paranoia, huh? Miss Xin'er, you're a psychiatrist, you wouldn't just stand by and watch someone die, would you?"

"Didn't you say it was abnormal for me to be a psychologist? Why are you asking me for help now?"

"Of course I'll come to you if I have a mental illness. I don't trust other quacks. As I just said, the diagnosis of paranoia is whether or not one can get what they want."

"You sacrifice yourself so I can have it at least once. Afterwards, you'll be a miracle worker, and I'll be healthy in body and mind—a win-win situation."

Chen Fan spoke with absolute confidence.

He was eager to know if he could win against four opponents.

Li Xin'er looked helpless. "You're really shameless. I don't know how you managed to get my number."

"You really want to know?" Chen Fan asked with a smile.

"Never mind, I don't want to pry into the patient's secrets." Li Xin'er actually had her own guesses, but some topics were best left unexplored. She changed the subject and asked, "When was the big show you were talking about?"

"There'll be another hour, have you eaten yet?"

"What blind date doesn't involve eating?"

"Can you still eat?"

Li Xin'er glared at him: "Why can't I eat if we're splitting the bill? I paid for it myself, I'll finish it even if it hurts!"

"Is that guy really that tasteless?" Chen Fan chuckled. "He even splits the bill on blind dates. No wonder he doesn't have a girlfriend."

"As if you have it."

Listening to Li Xin'er's complaints, Chen Fan smiled. "Isn't it there now?"

"What is it?" Li Xin'er covered her chest with both hands, her face full of vigilance, and said, "I didn't agree to that."

"You lied to me and got the stamp, then said you didn't agree. How could you change your mind so quickly?"

"???"

Li Xin'er's eyes widened in anger, her face full of question marks.
