Chapter 68: Jingkun Takes Action

After waiting for a few people to finish class and go downstairs, the restaurant had already delivered the dishes.

During the few days Chen Mo was away, He Min also ate at Chen Mo's house, so she naturally stayed this time as well.

At the table, Chen Mo asked about Tian Yang En's school situation.

"Teacher He, can Tian Yang En's current grades allow her to attend your school?"

He Min set down her chopsticks and gently shook her head: "Ai Ding Bo Zhong Xue has very strict requirements in all aspects for its students.

Tian Yang En's grades are acceptable, but without the previous school's records and transcript, the school won't admit her."

"Even spending more money won't work?" Chen Mo frowned and asked.

If possible, Chen Mo certainly hopes Tian Yang En can go to He Min's school.

The faculty there is better, and He Min can also keep an eye on her.

"No. Several members of our school's board are famous Gangdao tycoons; you can't get in just by spending money."

He Min's words made Chen Mo frown inwardly.

Now several high-ranking officials and Legislative Council members from Gangdao are alumni of this school, and the principal's network is deep.

With money and power, Chen Mo really has no way to deal with this school.

He Min, seeing Chen Mo frown, continued: "I've already contacted a few of my friends; the Southeast Middle School in Kowloon City is willing to accept Tian Yang En for schooling.

Although the school's strength doesn't match Ai Ding Bo Zhong Xue, my friend is willing to place Tian Yang En in his own class. He is a very responsible teacher, and Tian Yang En's classes with him are fine."

Chen Mo thought for a moment: Southeast Middle School, isn't that the one from the School Storm saga!

That school is indeed a bit chaotic; if it were an ordinary girl, Chen Mo would really be uneasy sending her there.

However, Tian Yang En is different.

Given Tian Yang En's abilities, Chen Mo isn't at all worried about her safety.

"Then thank you, Teacher He. You've worked hard these past days."

After the meal, Chen Mo arranged for Tian Yang En to drive his own car to take He Min home; Chen Mo still had more important matters to attend to.

Chen Mo stayed in Macau for a few days and is now feeling restless.

If Tian Yang En hadn't been around during the day, Chen Mo would have let his gun out long ago.

As soon as Tian Yang En and He Min left, Chen Mo impatiently carried Gang Sheng and Qiu Di upstairs.

Even though they had just finished dinner, Gang Sheng and Qiu Di's stamina still couldn't last to the end.

In the end, Chen Mo let the two have a midnight snack before they fell asleep.

The next day, just as Chen Mo returned to the bar, Gao Jin came to report.

"Mo Ge, Li Jie is back."

Chen Mo instantly rejoiced: "Where is Li Jie? Bring him over quickly."

Soon, Li Jie arrived at Chen Mo's office.

"Mo Ge!"

"Li Jie, thanks for your effort. How many people are willing to come with me?"

Chen Mo was somewhat excited; dozens of veterans could match several hundred ordinary thugs.

Li Jie said: "There are fifty‑six willing, of which six are female soldiers."

Chen Mo was overjoyed: "That's enough, fifty‑six is not few. Where are they now?"

"I've temporarily stationed them across the river. They lack official paperwork and need us to arrange people to bring them back."

"That's no problem."

Chen Mo turned to Gao Jin: "Gao Jin, go contact a snakehead and bring the people back as soon as possible. Also sort out their identification papers."

From the north to Gangdao, hiring Han Bin for this isn't quite suitable.

Chen Mo doesn't want too many people to know he now has over fifty veterans.

Moreover, Han Bin smuggles to Southeast Asia; for northern routes, he isn't as familiar as the snakeheads who specialize in human trafficking.

Professional matters naturally require professional people.

After Gao Jin and Li Jie left, Chen Mo called Jimi.

"Jimi, how's the vacant lot at the factory now?"

"It's been done as you instructed: twenty dorms built, basic amenities arranged, ready for occupancy."

Even before Li Jie returned, Chen Mo had planned to use the clothing factory's vacant lot as a temporary base for these veterans.

In a little over half a month, Jimi had people erect a high wall separating the lot from the workshop.

The original lot now has a simple training ground and dormitories.

The dorms are bunk beds, eight per room, accommodating up to 160 people.

Besides temporarily housing the veterans, Chen Mo intends to make this a training base.

In the future, his subordinates will rotate here for training, with the veterans serving as instructors.

After finishing the lot discussion, Jimi added about the clothing factory: "Mo Ge, the factory has accumulated a lot of clothes; should we look for new sales channels?"

Chen Mo thought and declined: "Not for now, I'll handle it."

The A‑grade garments produced now are, besides Chen Mo's own territory, supplied only to the Thirteen Sister trio and Da Fei.

Their sales speed can't keep up with the factory's production.

The warehouse now has a backlog of many clothes.

Earlier, many Triad Society members wanted to get goods from Chen Mo's factory, but under Chen Mo's orders, Jimi turned them away, saying there was none.

In Chen Mo's plan, these A‑grade goods will be handed to a few leaders of Great Prosperity for sale.

However, the upcoming push isn't about buying and selling.

Chen Mo has no intention of proactively seeking cooperation.

This is a good business, of course we need to maximize its value.

After speaking with Jimi on the phone, Chen Mo then called Thirteen Sister.

By now, Jingkun should have already started pulling in all the big bosses of Great Prosperity.

Chen Mo is merely a red pole; Jingkun wouldn't come to win him over, so we still don't know whether Jingkun has contacted Thirteen Sister.

"Ah Mo, why did you suddenly call me?" Thirteen Sister, upon suddenly receiving Chen Mo's call, was a bit surprised.

Nominally, Thirteen Sister is Chen Mo's boss, but Chen Mo has already begun developing independently.

Moreover, Chen Mo's strength is now greater than Thirteen Sister's.

Their territories were originally close; after Chen Mo seized Mi Dun Dao, they now border Mong Kok Street.

The two often meet directly when there's something, rarely calling each other.

Chen Mo directly asked: 'Sister, has Jingkun contacted you lately?'

"Ah, your question is quite a coincidence just now; Jingkun just called me, saying he wants to treat me me and Han Bin and them to a meal.

You say, does Jingkun looking for us mean he has something up?

Thirteen Sister quietly asked Chen Mo over the phone.

Chen Mo thought a moment, then immediately understood: 'I guess Jingkun plans to openly confront Jiang Tiansheng, needing you to pick a side.'

Thirteen Sister exclaimed: 'So fast? Then how do we choose? Continue staying neutral?'

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows: 'How to choose, then it depends on how many benefits Jingkun can offer!'

"Sister, how about bringing me along when you eat? I also happen to have something I want to discuss with Jingkun.'

Regarding Chen Mo's request, Thirteen Sister had no hesitation, immediately agreeing: 'Good! Then you can also help us strategize.'
