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

Chapter 89 Chen Tianyi's Advice

After entertaining the Hung Hing gang leaders, Chen Fan returned to his own territory.

Although it was already midnight, Li Xin'er did not leave, but sat quietly in his office waiting.

"It seems I'm quite important to you, Miss Xin'er."

Li Xin'er glanced at him, closed the book in her hand, and said, "Stop acting crazy. I just happened to be attracted by your collection of books that you use to show off your culture, that's all."

"From a psychological perspective, Miss Xin'er, the fact that you can sit here calmly reading means you feel very safe in this unfamiliar environment. Coincidentally, this is my territory, which means I can make you feel at ease. Isn't that important?"

Chen Fan revealed a mocking smile.

"Hmm?" Li Xin'er raised an eyebrow. "You know psychology too?"

"It will only be a tiny fraction of a billion."

Chen Fan had never drawn a similar skill before, but the Killer Family Pack of skills happened to include this one.

While not a master, he is certainly proficient in the craft.

The difference between him and Li Xin'er is that she has a certificate while he does not.

Li Xin'er's eyes darkened, her fists clenched tightly. "So you went to get treatment all this time just to play me for a fool?"

"No, that's not it. I genuinely came to you for treatment, but for some reason, your office made me feel inexplicably at ease. Maybe it's like what you just did; I just feel sleepy as soon as I relax."

"you----"

Before she could finish speaking, Chen Fan interrupted, "It's getting late, let's go, I'll take you home."

"I can get back by myself, so there's no need for you to make the trip."

Li Xin'er picked up her bag and stood up angrily.

Chen Fan shamelessly took her bag, saying, "It's nothing. I'm just bored anyway, so I'll go and familiarize myself with the place."

"Are you so eager to scout out the location?"

"Don't say such unpleasant things, we're all family."

"Who's family with you?"

Li Xin'er was completely convinced.

Chen Fan is too shameless, and he has the personality of taking advantage of others. He'll take advantage of any challenge he gets.

She is now increasingly convinced that Chen Fan went to receive treatment simply because of her.

An hour later.

Chen Fan escorted Li Xin'er to the ground floor of her residence.

Li Xin'er truly lives up to her reputation as a top-notch psychologist; she lives in a luxurious ocean-view apartment, making her a quintessential rich and beautiful young woman.

Seeing Chen Fan about to leave, Li Xin'er frowned and said, "Given your personality, shouldn't you be asking me to invite you up for a seat and a drink of water right now?"

"I'd like to, but a man and a woman alone in a room late at night, that's tempting someone to commit a crime."

"Heh, I didn't expect you to be so sensible."

"It's not that I'm being sensible, it's just that I have plans tonight. Even if you decline next time, I'll still come up to visit."

Chen Fan knew that haste makes waste.

For someone like Li Xinji, you need to keep her at arm's length for a while; the feeling of wanting something but not being able to get it is the most agonizing.

Watching the Tiger Head Mercedes start up and drive away, Li Xin'er suddenly felt a sense of gain and loss.

Perhaps this is why what we can't have always stirs our desires.

After standing there for a long time, Li Xin'er entered the apartment building with mixed feelings.

Today, she first experienced a failed blind date, then sought comfort only to be forcibly kissed, and also learned about a side of Chen Fan that no one else knew.

Aside from blind dates, everything else about Chen Fan left a deep impression on her, and now she suddenly wants to know everything about him.

After leaving the residential area where Li Xin'er lived, Chen Fan returned to the villa.

"Brother Fan, how did the boxing match go?"

As soon as he returned, Li Feng eagerly came to greet him.

Chen Fan pulled him into his arms. "A 2-0 victory. I didn't even have a chance to go on stage before the match was decided."

"oh."

Li Feng nodded.

The next second, her nose seemed to detect something, and she focused her sniffing on Chen Fan again.

Hmm, it's the scent of a strange woman, the kind that feels familiar!

Chen Fan looked at her with a wry smile, "Is there a problem?"

"No—it's nothing."

Li Feng lowered her head and returned to Ao Ming and Ruby's side, whispering her discovery to the two of them.

"Stop gossiping behind my back. I'll tell you the truth: I was just taking a girl home—"

Chen Fan didn't hide anything about Li Xin'er and told them everything directly.

Of course, Chen Fan did not reveal his undercover identity.

Although Wong Bing-yiu has mentioned that he is not strictly speaking an undercover agent, the degree of strictness is determined by the standards set by others. He does not yet have the ability to ignore the rules, and he still has to play the role of a subordinate.

After listening to Chen Fan's description, Ao Ming suddenly asked, "When do you plan to bring her back to help us relieve some of the pressure?"

They spent the afternoon figuring out how to find teammates.

Ruby even brought up her lawyer best friend Sandy, who has a boyfriend, but they didn't know how to create an opportunity for Chen Fan to bump into her.

Although Ruby knew it was immoral to interfere in her best friend's upcoming marriage, Sandy was the only outstanding female friend she knew well.

It's good to keep the good stuff within the family.

Now that Chen Fan has taken the initiative to find another one, this matter can be put on hold for a while longer.

If they can win with four against one, they won't need to make any other efforts.

"What's the rush? We'll be family sooner or later."

As Chen Fan spoke, he stepped forward and put his arms around Li Feng and Ruby on either side, and amidst their gasps, he turned and went into the bathroom.

He and Ao Ming had experienced the scene of mandarin ducks playing in the water many times, but this was the first time they had seen a dragon playing with two phoenixes.

After completely letting loose, that night was crazy.

the next day.

Chen Fan took out most of a box of health-strengthening pills and instructed Ao Ming and the other two to take them on time. He then took the complete design patent of the suitcase and planned to go find Chen Tianyi.

The body-strengthening pills can improve physical fitness, but this improvement is not very effective for Chen Fan. However, it is still very useful for Ao Ming and the others.

Only those with good physical condition and excellent health can unlock more positions.

Of course, Chen Fan also planned to use this thing to win people's hearts. After all, his level is different now. If he still personally took charge of everything and led the team to defeat his friends, how low would that be?

The higher the rank, the less conspicuous and unassuming they are.

With this cheat code, there's no need to worry about betrayal. Chen Fan won't give rewards like "strengthening pills" to anyone outside the true core ranks. Giving them two aphrodisiac herbs to give them some pleasure in that area is already a favor.

Eating too much aphrodisiac herb can also improve physical fitness. In terms of effect, the effect of 100 kilograms of aphrodisiac herb is barely comparable to a single health-strengthening pill.

So this thing can only be considered a reward to boost "sex" (sexual desire), mainly because the price of this thing has already been set, and one is worth five thousand US dollars.

The three brothers, Liang Kun, Han Bin, and Liang Kun, are renowned.

Cao Dahua personally tested it and found that eating one of the "bangbang" cigarettes made him feel "bangbang" all night long.

Tianyi Law Firm.

"Mr. Chen, why didn't you call ahead of time?"

Chen Tianyi was quite surprised that Chen Fan came to his door in person, as he preferred dealing with people who were generous.

As it happens, Chen Fan is a master of generosity and social skills, and he really likes those "Upper Zhou" porcelain vases worth around 100,000.

"I just happened to be passing by your building, and then I remembered something, so I came uninvited. I hope I didn't disturb your work, Attorney Chen."

"Don't disturb me—don't disturb me."

Upon hearing that Chen Fan had come to deliver business, Chen Tianyi was even more delighted and quickly arranged for someone to serve him fine tea.

After meeting Chen Fan a few times, Chen Tianyi had a basic understanding of him. Unlike the lawyers who sat in office buildings, Chen Fan preferred tea and disliked coffee.

"Mr. Chen, what trivial matter is troubling you?"

"I recently had someone develop a pretty good patent for a suitcase. Attorney Chen, I wonder if your law firm can handle patent registration?"

"Then you've come to the right person. Since my law firm was established, we have handled many patent cases and fought many patent rights protection cases."

Patent applications are not as simple as submitting technical descriptions. Without the support of core legal documents, it is easy for others to exploit loopholes. Every patent requires extremely precise legal language to define the scope of protection.

Listening to Chen Tianyi's description, Chen Fan roughly understood that he had found the right person; this guy was indeed quite capable.

This law firm is also full of hidden talents, with several partner lawyers specializing in patent law.

No wonder that when Chen Fan consulted Chen Tianyi about counterfeit goods, Chen Tianyi was able to provide a solution that minimized the risks.

So it's all experience built up from a series of real cases.

Chen Fan attaches great importance to the complete set of patents for the suitcase, which will be the core reliance for him to build his own luggage brand. Chen Tianyi took the lead in drafting the patent documents, with the remaining partners who are proficient in patent law assisting, to jointly draft and submit the application.

As long as he can hold onto the patent tightly, the meager legal fees are nothing to Chen Fan.

It took a whole afternoon to produce a draft of this document.

"Mr. Chen, we will complete the document as soon as possible within three days. The patent application can be processed in half a month to a month at the latest."

Chen Fan nodded, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Attorney Chen."

"No trouble at all, Mr. Chen. Your invention is very practical for people who travel frequently for work."

"Haha, if Attorney Chen likes it, once the patent is registered, I'll have someone specially make a batch of suitcases of different sizes for your law firm, so that it will be convenient for you all when you travel for business."

"On behalf of all the lawyers in our firm, I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Chen for his generosity!"

Chen Tianyi's smile widened; he was confident that the custom-made item he could get would be extraordinary.

Chen Fan suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Attorney Chen, there's something else I'd like to ask you."

"Mr. Chen, please speak freely."

"How can someone like me get a security company with a legal gun license?"

"A legal gun license?"

Chen Tianyi's hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly. A gangster actually wanted a legal gun license? This was making things difficult for him!

Hong Kong Island is still under British control, and many things can be done with money, but this does not include gun licenses.

Firearms and ammunition have always been strictly controlled items, and the issuance of legal gun licenses is subject to rigorous regulations. Having a top lawyer as a backer can indeed make things a little easier, but this reduction in difficulty depends on the individual.

Even if someone like Chen Fan has a criminal record in the police station, and has the endorsement of a dozen top lawyers and the guarantee of all the Justices of the Peace in Hong Kong, the chances of him getting off the hook are very slim.

"Mr. Chen, registering a security company is simple, but obtaining a gun license is another matter entirely. Whether your application will be approved ultimately depends on the police department's approval, which is difficult to achieve in your case, but—"

Chen Tianyi narrowed his eyes slightly, then changed the subject, "Mr. Chen, do you have any trustworthy relatives or friends who have no criminal record and an extremely clean background?"

"If you have one, you can have him register a security company first, and then enhance his qualifications by acquiring other security companies with gun licenses. The rest is much simpler, as he just needs to focus on running the business and applying for a gun license."

Wow, that's what you call professional!

In short, it all boils down to one thing: find a front man!

This method coincided with Chen Fan's idea.

He already had someone in mind—Li Feng.

Li Feng's background is clean and can withstand investigation. With her on the front and under Chen Tianyi's guidance, Chen Fan will be able to own a security company with gun licenses within a year.

However, security companies can't hire inexperienced, low-level personnel; they need to hire battle-hardened veterans.

Although it wasn't yet 85 and the North hadn't officially implemented a million-strong troop reduction, there were still quite a few demobilized soldiers who swam across the border. Having Da Sha keep a close eye on the smuggling routes always resulted in recruiting a few tough guys, such as a tough demobilized soldier named Wang Jianjun who looked remarkably like "Chang Wei".
