A man in Handong: living off Zhong Xiaoai

Request flowers

"Thank you all, I really appreciate your concern. But I think I can handle this myself. However, I probably won't be able to have this meal with you all. I need to pack up immediately and head to Jingzhou. I have to take care of Grandpa's matter personally. I appreciate everyone's kindness, and I'll thank you all properly when I get back."

At this moment, Li Dakang suddenly felt that if he let Chen Hai go back like this, Qi Tongwei might blame him if he found out later, so he immediately pointed to Wang Dalu who was standing next to him.

“Mainland, here’s the arrangement. I’m giving you a task now. You will represent the Jinshan County government and accompany Chen Hai back home. Chen Hai must be very distraught right now. Go to his home and help him out. At the same time, you will also represent the county government to offer condolences to Chen Hai’s father, Mr. Chen Yanshi. The old man dedicated his life to Xia Kingdom and is a role model for us all. When you go, you must show the sincerity and care of the county government, so that Chen Hai feels that he is not fighting alone and that the Jinshan County government will always be his strong support.”

... ...... ....

Upon hearing this, Wang Dalu immediately took off his apron and said...

"No problem! We'll postpone today's meal until Chen Hai returns from Jingzhou. Chen Hai, don't be shy with me. This is an official assignment from County Chief Dakang. You absolutely have to let me accompany you to Jingzhou. I need to convey the goodwill of the Jinshan County government and let the old man's family know that everyone in our county is of one mind, sharing both good times and bad. Don't worry, if you need any help on the way, just let me know."

Seeing this, Ouyang Jing seemed a little anxious as well.

“Mainland, let me come along too. Chen Hai must be very confused right now. I'm a woman, and I'm more attentive, so maybe I can help him out. Besides, more people means more support, and we can look out for each other on the way. As for work, I'll call my boss in a bit to ask for leave; I'm sure he'll understand. Let's get ready now and not waste any time.”

Chapter 530 Indeed, he values ​​loyalty and righteousness.

Upon hearing this, Yi Xuexi and Li Dakang exclaimed, "Why does Ouyang Jing want to go to Jingzhou with Chen Hai? No way! Isn't that inappropriate?"

However, Yi Xuexi felt that since Chen Hai's father had passed away and Ouyang Jing was there to help, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to say anything.

Moreover, as the Party Secretary of Jinshan County and Chen Hai's superior, he had to show the proper attitude.

"Alright, Chen Hai, don't refuse anymore. Given the current situation, everyone wants to do their best to help you. Dalu, you and Comrade Ouyang Jing should also get ready, pack up quickly, don't waste time, and hurry with Chen Hai to Jingzhou. Be careful on the road. When you get there, on behalf of Jinshan County, convey our deepest condolences and respect to Old Master Chen Yanshi. If you need any support from the county, feel free to call '697' anytime."

Seeing this, Chen Hai felt that there was no point in saying anything more, so he sighed deeply and said:

"Oh! I'm really sorry to trouble you all. I'm so grateful that you've all supported and helped me at this time. On behalf of my father, I thank you all! I will always remember this kindness."

After saying that, the group decided not to have dinner or party together anymore and left Wang Dalu's house together.

Wang Dalu was still very excited at this moment, because he really wanted to take this opportunity to see if he could meet Qi Tongwei with Chen Hai.

If I can meet Qi Tongwei, I might have a chance to advance further. If that's the case, then today's treat won't have been in vain; at least the goal has been achieved!

In Ni Kun's office in Hong Kong.

Ni Yongxiao looked at his father, who was about to leave, and smiled as he stood there.

"Dad, are you planning to enjoy the chorus with those older uncles today?"

Ni Kun smiled and nodded.

“Yes, Ah-Xiao, look at me. In my life, I’ve traveled all over the country, and every step I’ve taken has been on thin ice. Especially in our family’s business, we walk on the edge of a knife every day, and we have to be careful at every step. But only when I go out to sing with those old neighbors do I feel an indescribable sense of ease. At that moment, I don’t have to worry about who’s watching me or about any disturbances from all directions. It’s like I’ve returned to the simplest days, so peaceful and carefree.”

As Ni Yongxiao listened to his father's words, he could feel his father's relaxation and ease.

Indeed, as the eldest son and Ni Kun's biological son, I have always stayed by my father's side since childhood and rarely see him so relaxed and happy.

"Dad, how about I drive you there today? I don't have anything urgent to do right now, and it would be my honor to be able to accompany you."

Ni Kun looked at Ni Yongxiao. He seemed very happy to hear his son say such things and show such filial piety.

He smiled and waved to his son.

“Ah-Xiao, your filial piety warms my heart. But it’s only a short walk to the activity center, so you don’t need to make the trip. It’s too much trouble for you. But you, how long has it been since you’ve kept in touch with your brother Ah-Ren? Our family may be big, but the bond between brothers must not be neglected.”

Ni Yongxiao was raised by Ni Kun to love his family from a young age, so he treats his family very well.

Although Chen Yongren was not born to his mother, Ni Yongxiao always treated his younger brother very well.

Previously, the money in Chen Yongren's account, including living expenses, was all transferred to Chen Yongren personally at the behest of his father, Ni Kun.

Moreover, Ni Yongxiao felt that Chen Yongren worked hard, so he would always hit him a little more.

"Dad, don't worry, Ren is doing quite well now. He works for Han Chen, and Han Chen values ​​him highly and often praises him. Ren himself is also very hardworking and puts his heart and soul into his work. I think he's becoming more and more successful."

In fact, Ni Yongxiao knew that Chen Yongren and Han Chen's woman Mary had gotten together, and that Han Chen had even given Mary and his house to Chen Yongren because of this.

However, Ni Yongxiao felt there was no problem with this; as long as his younger brother liked it, he would support him in any way he could.

Ni Kun smiled broadly upon hearing this.

“Great! I feel much more at ease knowing that you two brothers can get along so well and look after each other. I’m going to go find some old neighbors to have some fun, sing some songs, and enjoy this leisurely time. You can go do your thing too, but don’t forget to take care of Ah Ren when you have time. The two of you can have a meal together and chat about everyday things. That’s how your relationship will grow stronger.”

As he spoke, Ni Kun walked out of the office, and Ni Yongxiao followed closely behind, leaving Ni Kun's office together.

"Dad, please don't worry, I'll contact Ah Ren right away. I haven't seen him in a long time, and I've been thinking the same thing. I'd like to find some time to have a meal with him and get together."

In a restaurant in Hong Kong, Jimmy sat at a table with a smile on his face.

"Hey, Gandhi! You're one of the five great protectors of the Ni family! This meal today has really opened my eyes, you're fucking awesome, you've got guts! I'd only heard of you before, but now that I see you, you're truly extraordinary! Come on, let's have a drink. With your support, Gandhi, in the future, my brothers and I at Wo Luen Shing will be like fish in water, thriving!"

Gandhi looked at Jamie with disdain, making no move to pick up his glass. 1.7

“Oh, Brother Jamie, you’re too kind. I, Gandhi, am very busy and don’t have time to chat about this and that. As for the Lian Sheng family, they have nothing to do with my Ni family. You don’t need to be so polite to me. Wouldn’t it be better if we went our separate ways and didn’t interfere with each other?”

Upon hearing Gandhi's words, Jamie downed the wine in his glass in one gulp, his face still beaming with a smile.

"Haha, Gandhi, you truly are a man of great loyalty and righteousness, for which I, Jammi, must give you a thumbs up. However, I have some things here, and if I show them to Mr. Ni, hehe, I wonder if he will still think you, Gandhi, are so loyal and righteous. We are both sensible people, and I don't need to spell everything out for you; you should already know what I mean, right?"

Chapter 531 Your News is Outdated

Upon hearing Jami's words, Gandhi's expression immediately turned sour.

“Brother Jimmy, I respect you as the head of Wo Luen Shing, and I'll give you some face. But you can't just say whatever you want at the dinner table. I, Gandhi, have always acted with integrity and uprightness. What shameful things could I possibly have? Your unfounded speculation is disrespectful to me, Gandhi. Everyone in the underworld knows what kind of person I am. I advise you to take your words back to avoid damaging our relationship.”

Jamie looked at Gandhi in front of him and smiled happily. Suddenly, he waved to the person next to him.

Hey kid, come here for a second! Go get those classic racing photos I've collected and show them to Gandhi. We're having such a good time today, we need to show our brother Gandhi what real speed and passion are all about! Hurry up and get them, don't keep Gandhi waiting, haha!

Upon hearing Jamie's words, the person next to him brought a stack of photos to Gandhi's 26th birthday celebration.

Gandhi had initially looked disdainful, but when he received the photos, his face turned deathly pale, and his eyes widened in shock.

"What...what is this?! How...how did you get these photos?! When...when did you take them?!"

Despite seeing Gandhi's fearful expression, Jamie still wore a smile.

"Haha, Gandhi, let me tell you, I, Jamie, am a huge fan of racing movies. Those photos are just an appetizer. Actually, I have something even more exciting here—a whole bunch of 'racing movies' you filmed with Guo Hua's wife, one of Ni Kun's men! They're fucking thrilling! In the videos, the way you floor the gas pedal when you drive her car is terrifying! I was just wondering if your good brother Guo Hua also floores the gas pedal just as hard when he drives his wife's car? Have you two ever exchanged tips in private? Haha, this dinner table conversation is getting more and more interesting!"

As Gandhi listened to Jami's words and looked at the photograph in front of him, he immediately lost his previous imposing manner.

Because Gandhi knew very well that if these photos were given out, neither Mr. Ni nor Guohua would let him off the hook.

Mr. Ni is a family man who values ​​family a lot. If he knew what he had done, his life would be basically over.

“Brother Jammi, I really didn’t expect your collection to be so special. I… I, Gandhi, usually enjoy watching racing, but… but I’ve never seen photos like these before. I wonder if Brother Jammi invited me to see these photos because… if I need to do something special? Brother Jammi, please… just say it, I, Gandhi, can handle it.”

Jamie, still smiling, picked up a piece of food from the table.

"Oh, Brother Gandhi, don't be so formal! Actually, I don't have many demands on you. I just hope you can support Mr. Ni. You see, we're all in the same business, helping each other out is only natural. You, Brother Gandhi, are a prominent figure in the underworld. With your support, Mr. Ni will definitely thrive and reach new heights! So, Brother Gandhi, is this request too much?"

Gandhi couldn't believe what he was hearing. Jamie had gone to so much trouble to find him and show him these things, just to get him to support Mr. Ni?!

“Brother Jamie, I don’t quite understand what you’re saying. I’m Mr. Ni’s subordinate, and supporting him is my duty, isn’t it? Why did you call me out specifically to tell me this? Is there some special purpose behind this, or is there something I haven’t done well enough that you need to remind me?”

Jamie glanced at Gandhi as he ate his food.

“Gandhi, you are indeed very clever, but sometimes, cleverness backfires. The Mr. Ni I asked you to support isn't that old man Ni Kun, but the second young master of the Ni family, Ni Kun's son Chen Yongren. Do you understand what I mean? The situation is complicated now. Ni Kun is old, and the future belongs to the young. Only by following Chen Yongren will you have a future. Don't tell me you can't even see this?”

Gandhi still looked bewildered.

“Brother Zhanmi, you…you’re not kidding me, are you? Ni Kun only has one son, Ni Yongxiao, right? How could he…how could he have a second son, and…and he doesn’t even have the surname Ni? What…what’s going on here? You have to explain this to me clearly, don’t leave me confused.”

Upon hearing this, Jamie put down his chopsticks.

"It's not surprising that you don't know. Chen Yongren is the son of Ni Kun and a woman surnamed Chen. From a young age, Chen Yongren took his mother's surname. He rarely interfered in the Ni family's affairs or participated in the Ni family's business. However, now he is working under Han Chen and is receiving training from Han Chen. Don't be fooled by his current inactivity; in the future, he will be a trump card for the Ni family. Gandhi, I'm telling you this so that you're aware of the situation and don't end up on the wrong side, or that wouldn't be good."

Upon hearing this, Gandhi felt a vague sense of unease.

“Brother Zhanmi, although Ni Kun is old now, he is still alive and well. Why is 697 suddenly asking me to support his second son, Chen Yongren? I really don’t understand, and I’m a little uneasy. After all, this is a major event concerning the future of the Ni family, and also a major event concerning my future as Gandhi. Brother Zhanmi, could you tell me more so that I have a better understanding?”

Upon hearing Gandhi's words, Jamie raised his wrist to check the time.

“Gandhi, your information is outdated. It's 7:30 PM now, and if I'm not mistaken, that old bastard Ni Kun is already meeting his maker. Nothing in this world is static, especially for people like us in the underworld. You need to see the situation clearly. It would be foolish to cling to a dead man's leg. Now, it's time to consider supporting Chen Yongren; he is the Ni family's future hope. Do you understand what I mean?”

Upon hearing Jami's words, Gandhi's eyes widened instantly, and he took a deep breath.

“Brother Jimmy, even though Ni Kun is gone, besides me, he still has Guo Hua, Hei Gui, Wen Zheng, and Han Chen under him! They're all shrewd and have their own agendas. Even if I'm the only one supporting Chen Yongren, it's far from enough! What should we do? Brother Jimmy, you have to give me some advice!”

Chapter 532 Do you think I'm easily scared?!

Upon hearing Gandhi's words, Jamie suddenly burst into laughter, and then he raised his glass.

"Hahaha, Gandhi, you're way behind the times! Let me tell you, soon, not only Guohua, Blackie, Wenzheng, and Han Chen, but even that brat Ni Yongxiao will obediently support Chen Yongren! You think the Ni family will fall into chaos after Ni Kun dies? Let me tell you, the Ni family's future has already been clearly planned. You just need to do your job and not cause me any trouble! Hahaha, understand?"

Gandhi was instantly shocked and sat there dumbfounded.

What do you mean?! Not only will I support Chen Yongren, but even Guohua, Heigui, Wenzheng, and Han Chen... even Ni Yongxiao will support Chen Yongren?! How is that possible!

Thinking of this, Gandhi looked at Jami with a look of fear.

I had heard long ago that three of Hong Kong's four major triads had already joined forces.

Could this be a grand scheme orchestrated by the Luen Shing, Hung Hing, and Tung Sing triads? Is the goal to annex the Ni family, one of Hong Kong's four major triads that ultimately refused to submit?

Thinking of this, Gandhi broke out in a cold sweat.

Then, he shakily raised the wine glass on the table.

“Brother Jimmy, I respect you! Don’t worry, I will definitely not let you down! From now on, in the Ni family, I, Gandhi, will only recognize Chen Yongren! I will wholeheartedly support him and will never dare to have any other thoughts! Brother Jimmy, you must believe me!”

Hong Kong, Hong Kong Police Force, in the office of Senior Superintendent Wong Chi-shing.

"Hey, eat slowly, Han Chen! Don't always wolf down your food! Look at the way you eat, is anyone going to try and take it from you? Honestly, what's the rush? Good things should be savored slowly, and so should life, you have to take it easy."

Huang Zhicheng said with a smile as he looked at Han Chen, who was eating a boxed lunch in front of him.

Han Chen smiled after hearing Huang Zhicheng's words and continued eating the boxed lunch in front of him.

"Haha, Huang Zhicheng, you wouldn't be so stingy, would you? Afraid that if I finish this little bit, you won't have anything left to treat me? Don't worry, brother, although I have a big appetite, I won't eat you out of house and home! In my line of work, we don't know if we'll have tomorrow after today, so we have to eat our fill, every bite has to be flavorful, that's how we treat ourselves!"

Huang Zhicheng watched Han Chen wolf down his food, still with a smile on his face.

"Han Chen, come on, let's not talk about whether you'll go broke or not. Let me tell you, if I really needed your help, wouldn't you help your brother out without hesitation? Our friendship of so many years didn't come for nothing, right?"

Han Chen paused for a moment after hearing Huang Zhicheng's words, then smiled and said.

"Haha, Huang Zhicheng, what you're saying is true. We may have taken different paths, but our brotherhood is undeniable! If you're asking me for a favor, it depends on what it is. You wouldn't want me to be your spy in the Ni family, would you? I can't do that. Brother Ni Kun has been very good to me, and I have to live up to his expectations, right? But, as long as it can help you, brother, and doesn't violate my principles, I, Han Chen, will definitely do my best without hesitation!"

At this point, Huang Zhicheng's expression suddenly turned serious.

Huang Zhicheng lit a cigarette and then slowly began to speak.

"Han Chen, listen carefully. I don't want you to be my mole in the Ni family, nor do I want you to betray the Ni family. Now, I just want you to think about it from a different perspective and support Chen Yongren as the next head of the Ni family. This is the best choice for the Ni family and for everyone. Do you understand what I mean?"
