Chapter 425: Contesting for the Legislative Councilor Seat

After the Gweilo had taken the people away, Chen Jiajun dialed Huo Yingnan's number and said, "Nan Ge, the plan can be put into action!"

Before pushing Huo Qingsong out, Chen Jiajun had already coordinated with Huo Yingnan and the others.

Huo Yingnan had long since contacted several Chinese Councilors, preparing to initiate an impeachment against Commissioner of Police Han Yili and Customs Commissioner Bonat.

The goal was to weaken the Gweilo's ruling power and expand the influence of Chinese forces within these two important departments as much as possible.

This was not just Chen Jiajun's personal affair; it could be said to be a matter for the Chinese forces in Hong Kong.

Although they were not necessarily all from the Leftist faction, and many from the Local Faction were among them, it was naturally their duty to expand the influence of the Chinese.

Sure enough, after this matter was exposed, a fierce offensive was launched immediately.

Facing the powerful offensive from the Chinese Councilors, the Governor Youde also found it quite a headache and could only keep trying to smooth things over between the two sides.

But since this concerned their own interests, this method of smoothing things over was definitely useless.

If it were to drag on any longer, it would certainly escalate the situation further.

After weighing the pros and cons, Youde reached a compromise with the Yingjili Government.

The Customs Commissioner was forced to resign and was transferred back to his home country to take up a post, while Han Yili's position was preserved.

"A Jun, this move of yours to make an issue of it is really quite something."

Inside the mansion, Huo Yingnan laughed and patted Chen Jiajun on the shoulder as he spoke.

Chen Jiajun smiled and said, "Since the Gweilo gave us the opportunity, we can't just watch it slip away!"

Huo Yingnan laughed and said, "True, Customs is a big piece of fat meat, it's just a pity we can't get our hands on it!"

Chen Jiajun shook his head and said with a look of disdain, "Whether we can get our hands on it or not, let's do it first! Better to give it to the Local Faction than to the Gweilo! After all, the Local Faction is still open to negotiation, but the Gweilo? It's good enough if they don't secretly trip you up!"

"That's the logic!" Huo Yingnan said with a smile, "By the way, have you looked into the New Territories village housing development recently?"

Chen Jiajun was stunned for a moment, then his expression turned cold: "Is someone causing trouble again?"

"Not really." Huo Yingnan waved his hand and said, "You taught the Lu family a lesson last time, and now they are very well-behaved, and they are quite restrained in making money. I actually quite like this kid Lu Jinqiang; he acts with great discretion and keeps his younger brothers firmly in check."

"Hahaha, Uncle Hantao told me that among these brothers, Jinqiang is the one with the most brains." Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "But he is also very greedy; if he didn't keep them under control, who knows what kind of mess they might cause. The current situation is the best it could be."

Huo Yingnan said, "The Lu family is very well-behaved, but some people in the company are not so well-behaved!"

"Oh?" Chen Jiajun raised an eyebrow: "What's the situation?"

Huo Yingnan said, "I have already sent people to investigate, and it is initially suspected to be a Commercial Spy!"

"Do you need me to step in?" Chen Jiajun asked.

Huo Yingnan thought for a moment and said, "A Commercial Spy is easy to deal with, but I'm worried about the people behind them! I heard you have an intelligence agency in your hands; I want to borrow some manpower to investigate."

Most of Huo Yingnan's intelligence sources were contacts in the political and business circles; this kind of thing was indeed not his specialty.

Chen Jiajun nodded: "No problem, I will send a team over then, you can handle it!"

"Straightforward!" Huo Yingnan laughed.

After chatting with Huo Yingnan for a while, Chen Jiajun returned to his own company.

Now that the operation was spreading wider and wider, Chen Jiajun felt increasingly exhausted.

Several times he had thought about transferring Su Xingbai back to help him.

However, the matter with the Ether Society was also coming soon. This time, the Ether Society had rashly intervened in this affair, which had allowed Chen Jiajun's people to keep an eye on them. Once the Ether Society in Hong Kong was completely eradicated, Su Xingbai would be able to successfully break away from Yifeng.

United Universe Capital in the United States was also up and running. Cao Weicai had quite a lot of cash in his hands, but he was personally quite cautious, and investing in some small companies had not caused any waves.

Yahoo, on the other hand, emerged very quickly. After taking two million from Cao Weicai, it soon gained a firm foothold in Silicon Valley.

Yahoo was still started under the name Chen Jiajun was familiar with, and it quickly became the leader in this emerging industry, with the number of users reaching nearly one hundred thousand in a short period of time.

Now, not only was Yahoo famous, but United Universe, which had made the Angel Round investment, also became well-known.

According to the email sent by Cao Weicai, he was now the "hot cake" of Silicon Valley, and people came to strike up conversations with him wherever he went.

Seeing the situation in the United States, a smile appeared on the corner of Chen Jiajun's mouth.

If things went smoothly, when Yahoo went public, that would be the beginning of Cao Weicai's plan.

Relying on his "prophet" attribute, he could even pursue Cao Weicai's plan on two fronts. On one hand, he could contact those political figures in advance, and on the other, find a way to become part of the financial magnates.

Just as Chen Jiajun was daydreaming, his cell phone suddenly rang.

The phone was his private number; apart from his few women and trusted aides, ordinary people would not call this number.

After Chen Jiajun answered, he heard Haitang's charming voice: "Jun Ge, you haven't come to see me for so long, have you forgotten about me?"

Chen Jiajun smiled and said, "I wouldn't forget you, you little enchantress, even if I forgot everyone else!"

"Then... come and keep me company!" Haitang said charmingly.

Chen Jiajun said amusedly, "Your motive is too obvious. Tell me, what kind of trouble have you run into that you can't handle?"

"Oh, I really miss you!"

"If you won't say it, then forget it. I have a lot of things to be busy with here! I have to fly to the United States after I'm done!" How could Chen Jiajun let a little girl manipulate him?

Haitang said with some discouragement: "I still can't fool you! I've run into trouble!"

"Wouldn't it have been better to say that earlier?" Chen Jiajun laughed: "Tell me, what kind of trouble did you run into?"

After hesitating for a moment, Haitang said, "It's hard to explain in a short while, if it's not too urgent, you should come to Taiwan!"

Chen Jiajun thought for a moment, then said with a wicked smile: "Alright, I'll come over the day after tomorrow! But... that position from last time, and the uniform..." "You bad guy, you're so bad!" After hearing this, Haitang gave a coquettish scold and then quickly hung up the phone.

"She's just a little girl who just came of age, she really can't take a joke!" Chen Jiajun chuckled to himself.

……

Tainan Airport, Chen Jiajun's private jet was parked here.

The fees at Tainan Airport were very exorbitant, but there was no helping it; Tainan Airport was also the so-called "Tainan Air Force Base," which was used for both civil and military purposes, with many military aircraft parked inside the airport.

Although... Chen Jiajun felt that these so-called military aircraft probably weren't enough for a single volley of anti-aircraft guns from back home.

After complaining a couple of times, Chen Jiajun saw Haitang, who had come to pick him up.

After becoming a disciple of Madam Tang, this girl's dress and style had become much more mature.

She had quite the air of a "female CEO."

However, upon seeing Chen Jiajun, she immediately pounced on him.

"Who dressed you up to look so old-fashioned?" Chen Jiajun said with a chuckle after taking a glance at Haitang.

Haitang spread her hands and said, "My master taught me! She said that as a woman managing such a large gang, the impression I give is very important. If I'm not dignified enough, people will look down on me!"

Chen Jiajun smiled and said, "Your master is an expert, listen to her! But you are not allowed to dress like this in front of me!"

"Then... what do you want me to wear?" Haitang whispered into Chen Jiajun's ear.

If it weren't for the fact that they were in public, Chen Jiajun would have had to bring this enchantress to justice right then and there.

He scooped up Haitang and ducked into the car, and then the car drove straight toward Haitang's villa.

After a bout of heaven-shaking and earth-shattering passion, Chen Jiajun finally vented his pent-up frustration.

Looking at Haitang, who had already fallen into a deep sleep, Chen Jiajun chuckled, "Little girl, trying to fight me! Hmph!"

The next morning, after Chen Jiajun woke up, he saw that kid A Yuan looking at him with a strange expression: "Brother-in-law, did you beat up my sister last night?"

Chen Jiajun nearly spat out his soy milk, coughing incessantly as he choked.

Haitang walked over with a blushing face, carrying some steamed buns, glared fiercely at Chen Jiajun, and then said to A Yuan, "Children shouldn't pry into adult matters!"

Having been scolded by his sister, A Yuan spread his hands with an innocent look.

Chen Jiajun had no choice but to change the subject and asked, "How is A Yuan doing at school?"

"It's alright, it's just that some people came to collect protection money, so I beat them up!" A Yuan said with a relaxed expression.

Chen Jiajun said speechlessly, "What grade are you even in! And people are already coming to school to collect protection money?"

A Yuan said indifferently, "That's nothing, some people join gangs with their bosses right after graduating middle school! Of course, I've heard they don't end up very well."

Chen Jiajun rubbed A Yuan's head and said with a smile, "That is why I make you study; entering society too early is not very beneficial for a kid!"

A Yuan nodded and said, "I understand, brother-in-law!"

After finishing the talk about A Yuan, Chen Jiajun said to Haitang, "What exactly is the matter that made you call me to Taiwan so urgently?"

Haitang hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's what my master told me; there is going to be an election for Legislative Member, and there would be great benefits if I could secure this position."

"Madam Tang?" Chen Jiajun frowned: "What is the situation with this Legislative Member?"

To be honest, Chen Jiajun did not know much about these politics in Taiwan, so he did not understand what benefits there were in Madam Tang going to such great lengths to incite Haitang to fight for this position.

Haitang shook her head: "I am still completely confused!"

"Then have Madam Tang come over, and I will have a good talk with her," Chen Jiajun said to Haitang.

Haitang nodded: "I have already sent someone to invite her!"

"How is the Donghu Gang doing lately?" Chen Jiajun asked casually.

Haitang smiled and said, "They are all quite well-behaved. Many of the Donghu Gang's affairs were things I helped my father handle in the past, and the subordinates are used to my way of doing things!"

Chen Jiajun nodded and said, "Steady and solid; what your Donghu Gang needs now is to recover its vitality! You are the sole power in this area, and ordinary people wouldn't dare to provoke your Donghu Gang!"

After the two chatted for a while, the sound of a car horn came from outside the door.

Then the villa gate opened, and Madam Tang arrived with her daughter.

However, Madam Tang's daughter, that dissolute Tang Zhen, seemed to fear Haitang somewhat, as if she had been severely disciplined by Haitang before.

"Mr. Chen, we meet again!" Madam Tang greeted him very politely: "How have you been lately?"

Chen Jiajun smiled and said, "Madam Tang is too kind, I must thank Madam Tang for being willing to teach Haitang!"

After both sides were seated, Chen Jiajun didn't waste any words and said directly to Madam Tang, "I heard from Haitang that you want her to find a way to compete for Legislative Member. I don't know much about Taiwan, is this Legislative Member very important?"

Madam Tang nodded solemnly: "Very important, and this importance exceeds your imagination!"

Then Madam Tang explained the situation of the Legislative Member to Chen Jiajun.

The Legislative Member is actually a talent pool for the two political parties in Taiwan to select from, mostly served by local kingpins.

Simply put, although the status of this member is not that of an Administrative Department official, it is equivalent to an admission ticket.

Those who do well can even go on to become the head of an Administrative Department! (End of chapter)
