Chapter 45: Heaven Destroys Those Who Do Not Look Out For Themselves!
"Jing Kun, it is said that Jing Kun's underling, Sha Qiang, previously sent five million to Liangzai Jun." Liang Yuelian is the accountant for Zhongxinyi, managing the society's assets, and she also knows English.
It can be said that if Lian Haolong did not have this virtuous helper Liang Yuelian, he would absolutely not be the Dragon Head Big Brother of the second-tier society in all of Hong Kong!
After a pause, Liang Yuelian fiddled with the fountain pen in her hand and said in a deep voice: "But I think five million alone is not enough. Perhaps the group that attacked Wang Bao is his people?"
In the conference room, it became quiet.
Everyone is very clear about Wang Bao's strength; even Zhongxinyi does not dare to easily pull his tiger's whiskers.
Those elites of his are not people that these fierce generals of Zhongxinyi can claim they can take down.
Lian Haolong pondered for a moment, nodded, and said: "Very well said. This Liangzai Jun is truly extremely interesting. He must have a connection with that group of gunmen; he is not as simple as he appears on the surface."
"Big Brother Long, regarding the source of Chen Jiajun's funds, I should know a little something," Luo Dingfa said.
Lian Haolong looked at him and said: "Afa, speak."
"I have been walking quite close to the people over at Dongxing. That batch of subordinates of Liangzai Jun, Dumu and a group of brothers, borrowed a lot of usury from Dongxing's Jinmaohu Shamang, totaling over ten million. It is absolutely true, and now Shamang is worrying about this money!" Afa said slowly.
Hearing this, everyone in the room was somewhat astonished, and then they looked at each other...
They had only ever heard of people borrowing usury for the gambling table or for emergencies, but they had never heard of borrowing usury to develop and strengthen a society's power.
In the conference room, a burst of laughter suddenly erupted. Everyone knew that once one gets entangled with usury, it is very difficult to get away.
When the time comes, what Liangzai Jun will have to deal with will not just be their Zhongxinyi!
"Big Brother Long, why don't we discuss it with Dongxing, quickly finish off Liangzai Jun, and take this piece of fat meat? I am afraid that delay will lead to changes."
Afa's eyes flickered. He knew very well that Liangzai Jun's development speed was truly too fast; who knows what level he will grow to in a month.
Luo Tianhong snorted coldly and said: "To take down Liangzai Jun, why would we need to cooperate with Dongxing! Big Brother Long, as long as you give the order, I, Ahong, will immediately lead the brothers and set off."
Lian Haolong said sternly: "Do not be too hasty. I have my own plans.
Now that Wang Bao is dead, the market is very short on goods. I want to purchase one hundred million in Laundry Powder.
To ensure safety, the money and the goods will travel separately. Adong, Ahong, A Wu, you all must go as well, just in case."
"Yes!"
In the conference room, the core members of Zhongxinyi responded one after another.
Lian Haolong nodded with satisfaction and smilingly dismissed the meeting.
"In a few days, it will be Big Brother's happy day. Everyone, remember to dress a bit sharper then; don't lose face for Big Brother," Lian Haodong stood up and reminded them with a beaming smile.
With Lian Haodong saying this, everyone's faces were also filled with laughter.
That's right, in another month, it will be the full-month celebration for Lian Haolong's son.
There was only one person in the room who was not happy, and that was Liang Yuelian.
Especially when hearing the words "Young Master," Liang Yuelian felt as if a thorn had been stuck in her heart, and she could not catch her breath no matter what.
However, the expression on her face was fleeting. She revealed a smile and said: "The full-month celebration, I have already been preparing for it. The invitations have all been sent out."
"You've worked hard." A look of guilt appeared on Lian Haolong's face. He placed his hand on Liang Yuelian's fragrant shoulder: "Alright, everyone, disperse."
Chatting and laughing with his wife Liang Yuelian, he arrived at the Chairman's office.
As soon as they entered the office, a woman with delicate features looked terrified, immediately holding the baby as she stood up: "Big Brother Long."
Lian Haolong revealed a smile and said: "Has Baobao been good today?"
A smile was plastered on Liang Yuelian's face as she hurriedly reached out: "Lisa, has our son been good today? Let me hold him. Oh my! Big Brother Long, he looks just like you; he is truly worthy of being of the Lian family's seed."
As the wife of the Zhongxinyi Dragon Head, Liang Yuelian's background was not good. She used to be a hostess, and before being with Lian Haolong, she had three abortions, which left her with a medical condition, making her unable to conceive.
Lian Haolong actually did not care whether his wife could give birth; even if she could not, Liang Yuelian had to be the primary wife.
Although the Lisa he found outside gave him a son, the two of them actually did not have any feelings for each other.
Lian Haolong sat down in the Boss's chair and said: "By the way, remember to send an invitation to Jiang Tiansheng as well, and also to Liangzai Jun. There are some things I need to see with my own eyes before I can make a decision."
"Fine, I will call Mr. Jiang personally. As for Liangzai Jun, I will arrange for someone to send him an invitation."
A smile appeared on Liang Yuelian's face, while her heart was filled with bitterness.
"Go and get busy. Don't be too tired, and remember to come back early."
Leaving the building, Liang Yuelian did not go to prepare money, but instead made a phone call to Luo Dingfa, and the two met in a small Bar.
As soon as she sat down, Liang Yuelian drank several glasses of foreign liquor in a row, her eyes turning red.
"Sister A Lian, you can't drink like this; it's very easy to get drunk," Luo Dingfa immediately advised.
The two did not have any special relationship, it was just that Luo Dingfa was brought up by her.
Liang Yuelian said with teary eyes: "I started with him when I was 16. He knows I can't give birth. For him, I went to learn accounting, I went to learn English. Afa, do you know what I was thinking when I saw that child!"
As she spoke, she downed the wine in her glass in one gulp, her tone trembling: "I wanted to strangle him to death!"
"Drink less." Luo Dingfa reached out and grabbed the bottle of foreign liquor. Seeing that Liang Yuelian's attitude was firm, he said: "Add some ice cubes."
Liang Yuelian lit a lady's cigarette, took a deep drag, and exhaled slowly, "Afa, I ask you, once that child grows up, will I still have a position in Zhongxinyi?"
"That won't happen, you're overthinking it." Luo Dingfa also knew that such family matters were not easy to talk about.
Liang Yuelian shook her head and said: "Then why don't you go and finish off Lisa? Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep."
Luo Dingfa did not say a word.
Liang Yuelian took another deep drag of her cigarette: "I'm joking with you. Your Big Brother seems to have become a different person over these years. Adong owes a mountain of gambling debts outside, and to help him pay them off, he even filled in the company's share."
"I really don't understand."
"But your Big Brother said one thing that is very right: Heaven destroys those who do not look out for themselves!"
"I have worked hard for him for so many years; it is time for me to consider myself."
"Otherwise, when I get old, what will I have to support myself."
Luo Dingfa asked in a deep voice: "Sister-in-law, what do you want to do?"
"There are still four or five hundred million in funds in the company," Liang Yuelian said slowly.
……
Just as Lian Haolong had judged, Jiang Tiansheng was currently flying into a rage inside his villa!
Jiang Tiansheng, who usually possessed excellent self-restraint, could no longer endure the fire of anger in his heart; he stood up and shoved all the antiques on the table onto the floor.
"A wild dog can never be tamed!"
A ferocious look appeared on Jiang Tiansheng's face as he breathed heavily.
The series of events over this period had left Jiang Tiansheng feeling utterly humiliated.
The Causeway Bay Five Tigers had been ambushed on their trip to Macau, and the mission had failed!
Chen Haonan, whom he had forcefully promoted, had truly disappointed him too much!
He had intended to take down that office building belonging to Wang Bao, but Chen Jiajun had intervened and bought it for the price of 20 million.
As the Dragon Head of Hung Hing, how could Jiang Tiansheng possibly swallow this insult!
Under normal circumstances, wherever the society's territory expanded, Jiang Tiansheng would bring the business along with it and have the various branch leaders manage it.
That building of Wang Bao's had a mature business model, with a casino, nightclubs, and brothels all fully equipped; it was something he had coveted for a long time.
Seeing that Jiang Tiansheng had finished venting, Chen Yao poured him a glass of liquor and said, "Mr. Jiang, what should we do next? The Hung Hing assembly is about to be convened."
"Let me consider it for two days."
"Ring-a-ling!"
The mobile phone rang. Seeing Jiang Tiansheng finish the call, Chen Yao asked, "Mr. Jiang, why did Lian Haolong call us? We aren't familiar with them."
"The first time makes us strangers, the second time makes us acquaintances. Lian Haolong's mistress just gave birth to a child for him, and he has invited me to attend the full-month banquet. You go and prepare a generous gift over these two days; we must not lose face for our Hung Hing."
Jiang Tiansheng took a sip of foreign liquor and instructed.
"Loyalty and Righteousness has coveted Wang Bao's territory for a long time. With Lian Haolong inviting us over at this time, I'm afraid he has ulterior motives, right?"
"Heh heh, then we shall see exactly how much weight Chen Jiajun really carries when the time comes."
Jiang Tiansheng pondered for a moment, his smile not reaching his eyes.
