Hong Kong variety show: I wanted to be a lawyer, but I became a big shot.

The next morning, the sky over Hong Kong Island was just beginning to brighten.

Lin Bei got up early, washed up, changed into a dark suit, and drove with Ailian and Shalena to the building he had just bought.

He needs to act quickly now and speed up his money-making operations.

Starting today, all of Hung Hing Group's businesses will be integrated into this building, including the clothing company, catering company, home appliance company, logistics company, film and television company, financial company, security company's administrative department, and so on, without exception.

He summoned all the administrative staff he could mobilize, divided them into several groups, and they went floor by floor to move things in, hang up signs, and process documents one by one.

In the lobby on the first floor, movers were pushing carts in and out, their steps hurried.

Lin Bei stood on the second-floor corridor and looked down, with two women following behind him, ready to give orders at any time.

"The first floor is for reception and security dispatch, the second floor is for the clothing department, the third floor is for the catering department, the fourth floor is for film and media, the fifth floor is for the security company, the sixth floor is for the logistics company, the seventh floor is for the home appliance company, the eighth floor is for the financial investment department, and other floors will be arranged as new business arises."

"We don't plan to rent out our building right now; I want to keep it all to start my own business..."

Lin Bei spoke as he walked, his pace slow and his thoughts clear.

"Okay, Brother Bei."

Serena nodded and noted it down, then turned to make the arrangements.

By noon, the building was beginning to take shape.

Lin Bei stood in front of the newly opened office of the technology company on the ninth floor, looking at the empty workstations, and suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"This tech company needs to be managed by someone who knows what they're doing."

"None of the people we have right now are suitable for this position."

Lin Bei put his hands in his pockets and walked to the window.

Outside the window, the endless stream of cars flowed along Queen's Road, and the noise of the cars could be faintly heard.

"Ailian, help me make an appointment with Brother D. Tell him I need to borrow someone from him."

"Who is it, Brother Bei?"

"His little brother, Jimmy."

Ailian nodded slightly and replied:

"Okay, I'll take care of it right away."

That afternoon, Lin Bei met Jimmy, dressed in a casual suit, on the ninth floor of the Dongchang Building.

"Brother Bei, you were looking for me?"

Jimmy didn't stand on ceremony when he came in; he just nodded.

Lin Bei sat in a grand chair, brewing tea.

A moment later, he pushed a cup of tea over.

"Big D told you, right?"

"I've just started a new tech company and I'd like you to come and oversee it."

Jimmy took the teacup, but didn't drink it right away. He just looked down, turned it around, and remained silent for a few seconds before speaking:

"Brother Bei, I don't have much education, and I know nothing about technology."

Lin Bei smiled and exhaled a puff of cigar smoke.

"You can learn science and technology skills gradually; I'm not asking you to do research and development."

"What I value is your quick thinking; as long as you can help me negotiate business deals, that's enough. As for the research and development work, I'll find someone else to follow up."

"The businesses that Hung Hing Group will be involved in next are much more diverse than you think."

Jimmy looked up and stared intently at Lin Bei.

"Brother Bei, you know I'm with Wo Shing."

"It wouldn't look good for Brother D to do things for you."

"Don't worry, I've already talked to Brother D."

Lin Bei looked directly at him, his tone frank.

"You came here to work just to make money, not to join the Hung Hing triad."

"You can still take care of Wo Luen Shing."

"Besides, he owns shares in most of the companies I manage. He'd be overjoyed if you could come and make money for the group."

"Besides, how much money can you make as a stable boy in Malan selling pirated DVDs? And I also heard you've started attending night school, right..."

"Do you really want to waste your life as a nobody in this gang?"

Jimmy paused for a moment, picked up the teacup, tilted his head back, and drank the tea in one gulp.

"Okay, I promise you. When do I start working?"

"There's no time like the present, let's start today!"

"Okay, I'll go back now to arrange a handover, and I'll be back later."

"Okay, go ahead."

Jimmy, looking excited, stood up, bowed slightly to Lin Bei, and then turned and left.

Lin Bei watched him disappear through the door, a slight smile playing on his lips.

With Jimmy on board, the tech company has a backbone. Given the kid's intelligence, taking him to South Korea shouldn't be a problem.

The rest is just a matter of time.

......

Meanwhile, inside the Kwun Tong safe house.

Shui Ling didn't sleep much all night.

She sat by the window, smoked half a pack of cigarettes, and waited until dawn before calling William.

The phone rang several times before being answered, and William's lazy voice came from the other end, as if he had just woken up.

"William, I had a little trouble at Kwun Tong Pier last night."

"Even members of our gang were detained by officers from police headquarters, did you know that?"

William was silent for two seconds, and when he spoke again, his tone was even more somber.

"Who arrested him?"

"Superintendent Sin Chi-keung of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau..."

"Okay, I understand."

Shui Ling seemed oblivious to the displeasure in the other person's voice and said directly:

"The most urgent thing now is to use your resources to get them out of here..."

"Otherwise, none of us will be happy!"

William snorted coldly on the other end of the phone.

"Shui Ling, are you joking with me?"

"Now that the suspect has been caught red-handed, and the matter has blown up, what if I take action and it turns out to be my fault?"

"Furthermore, you said they wouldn't talk nonsense, but gangsters have absolutely no credibility with me, let alone gangsters who have been arrested!"

"I swear on my integrity that this matter will absolutely not involve you, but you must help me deal with this problem, since it was an undercover agent planted by your agents within our organization..."

Shui Ling was so angry at William's arrogance that she said coldly.

William remained silent for a moment, as if weighing his options.

"Hmph, you'd better be able to promise that."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Shui Ling put down the phone, her eyes turning cold.

She knew that William was not someone who easily trusted anyone.

Especially in situations like this, where you could get yourself into trouble at any moment.

Sure enough, Yin Feng called that afternoon.

"Marshal Dalu, something has happened."

Yin Feng's voice was somewhat hurried.

"explain."

"Gangster Lun and his gang died in the detention room."

Shui Ling's fingers tightened suddenly as she gripped the phone.

"What?"

"I came to the police station this afternoon hoping to see them one last time, but the officers told me that they had caused trouble in the detention room this morning and had an accident when they were being stopped... They have already been sent to the morgue."

Shui Ling slowly closed her eyes.

"How many people?"

"They're all dead...including Allen and his three henchmen..."
