Chapter 150: Yinghuaguo Specialties

In the evening, after the welcome banquet, Chen Mo hauled a super‑large suitcase home.

Jimi said there was also a gift from Cao Gai Yixiong prepared for Chen Mo, and the Yinghuaguo specialties that Jimi and Gao Jin had brought back for him.

The other people's suitcases were similar—full of Yinghuaguo specialties.

After all, it was a rare trip, and they had money, so it would be a pity not to buy any specialties.

Chen Mo, lugging the suitcase, had just stepped inside when Gang Sheng and the others crowded over.

"Mo Ge, what are you carrying?"

Gang Sheng tried to reach out and take it, but after struggling for a while couldn't lift it.

The suitcase looked light in Chen Mo's hands, but in fact it wasn't light at all—at least several hundred jin heavy.

Chen Mo dragged the suitcase to the middle of the living room and said, "These are some Yinghuaguo specialties that Ah Jin and Jimi brought back for me. We'll open them together in a moment and see what's inside; they're pretty heavy."

"Ah Jin and Jimi are back?" As for Jimi and Gao Jin, Qiu Di and Gang Sheng were still quite familiar with them; only He Min wasn't as close, but still knew them.

"Yeah, they just got back this afternoon, and tonight's welcome banquet was prepared for them."

Chen Mo tipped the suitcase onto the floor and unzipped it.

Soon, all sorts of messy items were taken out and spread across the floor.

Chen Mo really thought he should find a woman for Jimi and Gao Jin; otherwise the suitcase wouldn't be such a chaotic mess, packed without any order.

First were two bottles of gift‑boxed sake, looking rather upscale, though the packaging boxes were a bit deformed.

Chen Mo guessed this was the gift that Cao Gai Yixiong had entrusted to Jimi and Gao Jin to bring.

Next was a Nintendo Famicom; Chen Mo still liked that thing, after all it held some nostalgia.

It's just a pity there aren't many games for it right now.

Then there were many comic books—"Captain Tsubasa," "Dragon Ball," and "Saint Seiya."

Especially "Captain Tsubasa," a complete deluxe collector's edition.

These comics alone filled most of the suitcase, no wonder it was so heavy.

"What's in this bag?"

Gang Sheng, curious, opened a bag and revealed a pile of plastic cups inside.

Chen Mo's face darkened; he snatched the bag and sealed its opening.

"Nothing special, just useless stuff; I'll throw them away later."

Who bought him this junk? He can't use it.

At this moment, Jimi, who had just arrived home and started sorting the luggage, was puzzled why his little toys were missing—he clearly packed them into the suitcase.

Those were all 100% realistic reproductions of popular Yinghuaguo female idols—very expensive!

After a long time, Chen Mo, Gang Sheng, and the third person finally sorted the gifts.

Besides the game console, comics, and that bag of cups, Chen Mo also found several VCR tapes and a handful of erotic lingerie in the suitcase.

Seeing Gang Sheng's three girls turn bright‑red, Chen Mo was at a loss for words.

I mean, go explore over there more; bring back any good stuff you find.

But I didn't tell you to bring this stuff!

"The kind of boss you have determines the kind of underlings. Look at all this stuff!"

"Exactly, pervert!"

Facing Gang Sheng and the others' accusations, Chen Mo wore a black line on his face, utterly unable to retort.

The items are still lying here; they won't believe you didn't ask them to bring them.

Chen Mo was already wondering whether he should toss Jimi and Gao Jin into Jingkun's film company, have them shoot movies, and cleanse their souls.

The next day, Gao Jin didn't stay home as Chen Mo had said; instead, he went to the bar and started his shift as usual.

Just upon arriving at the bar, Gao Jin was called by Chen Mo to the office.

"Ah Jin, thanks for the gifts; you and Jimi really put in the effort!" Chen Mo said sarcastically.

Gao Jin didn't detect any oddity in the tone, smiled and said, "Mo Ge, as long as you like it, it's worth the time Jimi and I spent looking for it."

Chen Mo's face stiffened; he gritted his teeth and said, "Like it? I love it. Thank you and Jimi!"

Looking at Gao Jin's innocent expression, Chen Mo guessed those items were most likely not Gao Jin's doing.

This can only be blamed on Jimi; he'll deal with him the next time they meet.

Chen Mo also recalled the matter of introducing a girlfriend to Gao Jin—it's unreasonable for the boss to keep taking women while the underlings remain single.

"Ah Jin, do you want a girlfriend?"

He Min's sister-in-law at school still has many young female teachers—cultured and good‑looking; let her introduce one to you?"

"No need, Mo Ge." Gao Jin shook his head, "When I was in Yinghuaguo sparring with some people from the Yamada Group, I gained some insights."

Lately I've needed to practice abstinence, focus on cultivation, and strive for a breakthrough.

"Oh? You're about to breakthrough your martial arts? That's good news," Chen Mo said excitedly.

Gao Jin is still young; he's far from the Warden form, and his palm technique hasn't reached the hidden force level yet.

Although already a rare expert, further progress would of course be better.

Compared to advancing a level in martial arts, finding a girlfriend is a trivial matter.

"Here's the plan: let Shen Guodong keep handling the Triad Society affairs, and you focus on yourself. If you need anyone to feed you techniques, just call me."

Currently Gao Jin's skills are slightly inferior to Li Jie and Shen Guodong, but not by much.

Sparring with them makes it hard to control force; someone might get hurt.

Chen Mo is still the most suitable.

After Gao Jin rested, Chen Mo called Shen Guodong over.

"Guodong, have there been any moves from Luo Ji these past few days?"

"No, he's been very well-behaved."

These past few days Shen Guodong had arranged people to watch Luo Ji, wanting to find that police officer behind Luo Ji.

Luo Ji's superior was Lu Qichang, which Chen Mo knew about, and he hadn't thought it necessary to do anything extra.

But since Shen Guodong had already made such arrangements, Chen Mo didn't stop him either.

If Chen Mo had assigned him tasks without the slightest suspicion, Luo Ji himself might not have felt at ease.

"Call him over. I happen to have something I need him to do."

Ten minutes later, Luo Ji arrived.

"Luo Ji, how have you been feeling lately? Have you adapted to working under me?"

"Very well. It's just that I have nothing to do with all this free time."

Chen Mo didn't know what Luo Ji's true personality was like, but right now he seemed to be the same style as Gao Jin — aloof.

He knew that Chen Mo still hadn't fully trusted him, so he didn't actively request any tasks; he just answered whatever was asked.

"Don't blame me for not trusting you. After all, you were with the Ni Family before. But I've also had someone investigate over the past few days, and now you can consider yourself as having passed the test."

"Guodong, hand Jianshazui's Mi Dun Dao over to Luo Ji."

Shen Guodong glanced at Luo Ji and nodded. "Alright, Mo Ge."

Chen Mo continued, "Luo Ji, from now on you'll be in charge of Mi Dun Dao over in Jianshazui. Besides keeping an eye on our venues, help me rent a property in the territory — roughly the same scale as Yinhejiuba, something about that size will do."

Luo Ji's face showed no expression whatsoever. He nodded and asked, "I have some understanding of the wealthy people in Jianshazui. Renting a property won't be difficult. But could you tell me whether you're planning to open a restaurant or a bar? That way I can pick a suitable one."

Chen Mo thought for a moment and said, "An unfinished shell without any renovation would be best. Otherwise, just go with a nightclub layout."
