Chapter 136: with translation of chapter title
Don't be strange, this is just the nature of Gangdao reporters — there's no question they dare not ask, no headline they dare not write.
For example: in his previous life he had heard an extremely explosive headline, a female star gave birth, and the Gangdao news headline read 'Such-and-such female star, artificial person artificial person'.
It was extremely explosive, not only stripping people's underwear bare but also implicating the child; just born, it landed on the front page.
Much better than some male star! Wanting a headline but unable to get it, even polishing one's pants to a shine is useless.
Gangdao news is like that: as long as the headline has some connection to the event, they make it as explosive as possible; for newspaper sales, these people go all out!
The Asia TV female reporter asked, 'Mr. Li, can you tell me about the funding source of the Oriental Daily? I'm not really clear on it!'
Li Xin laughed in anger! These people, for an explosive story, really went all out; even the Ma family let them take it out to feast on.
I really can't answer this reporter friend's question; I'm too young, I'm not clear on the details, and I couldn't possibly make things up, so I have nothing to say.
Li Xin then said to the reporters below, 'Please pay attention when you ask questions, friends.'
This is the press conference for the Red Letter Film City project; don't ask unrelated questions, thank you!
The reporters didn't care at all about what he said; as long as they could get a big story, there was nothing they dared not ask — very dedicated.
As soon as his words fell, a reporter asked:
'Mr. Li, I've heard you have a gang background; what do you have to say about that?'
Li Xin smiled slightly and replied:
'This is slander; I am a legitimate businessman and also a member of the Xigongqu District Council.'
'The company's startup funds are all verifiable, with no violations whatsoever.'
'Also, this reporter friend got something wrong: the Red Letter Group is not mine; I am merely an appointed director.'
'I hold no shares in the Red Letter Group; this is clearly stated in the shareholder register — don't be deceived by people with ulterior motives.'
The reporters below stared at him speechlessly; this guy is truly shameless — anyone in Gangdao with a bit of inside knowledge knows what's going on with you.
And he still shamelessly claims to be a legitimate businessman?
His skin is thicker than ours reporters, but they still don't dare go too far.
They know very well who they can provoke and who they cannot.
Li Xin pulled over the nearby Xu Qiang, gave him his seat, and introduced him to the reporters:
'This is Mr. Xu Qiang of Strong Victory Film Company; if you have any questions, you can ask him.'
Li Xin stepped down and left; as for Jiang Tian Sheng, he was just here to join the fun.
As he passed by, Li Xin whispered, 'Mr. Jiang, I have something to attend to first; Big D is looking for me — do you want to come along?'
Jiang Tian Sheng beamed with springtime pride and said, 'Go ahead; I still need to accompany the Xu brothers to the press reception, so I won't join you in the fun.'
Mr. Jiang cherishes every moment he can stand in the sunlight, not wanting to miss a single one.
Outside the venue, Jianguo had already started the car; after getting in, he said, 'Go to Tsuen Wan to find Big D.'
He leaned his head against the seatback, thinking about Big D's matter; this is absolutely something a Li Jia Po gambling king could not accomplish.
Who is behind Chen Jincheng? Is there any connection to what has been happening with the He Family lately?
He kept mulling it over in his mind, but in the end couldn't figure it out, so he simply closed his eyes to rest and would talk when he saw Big D.
When he arrived at Big D's house, the living room contained only Big D and Big D's wife; even Chang Mao wasn't there.
After Li Xin sat down, he asked, 'Big D, when did Chen Jincheng seek you out? This is important; otherwise I'm afraid you'll get into big trouble.'
Big D's wife said, 'A Xin, Chen Jincheng found Big D through the elders of Harmony United Victory during your time on Ao Island; is there anything improper about that?'
Harmony United Victory elders?
Li Xin frowned and asked, 'Which elder?'
'Lao Guiwai!' Big D said.
Li Xin thought for a moment; the heads of each line of Harmony United Victory: Line Longgen is in charge of the Yellow line, Chuanbao of the Drug line.
The head of the Gambling line is that old coot Lao Guiwai, so it can definitely be said that behind this is Deng Fei.
We're not sure what dirty tricks he has, but one thing is certain: he means no good.
Having thought it through, he told Big D, 'Big D, just pretend this never happened; from now on don't get involved with those old silver coins — they mean no good.'
'You know very well that the Gambling line of Harmony United Victory has always been controlled by that old coot Deng Fei; Lao Guiwai is just a figurehead, he has no real authority over that line.'
'And Chen Jincheng, a Li Jia Po gambling king, what capability does he have to partner with you on a gambling ship? This isn't something you can manage just by being good at gambling.'
'Most importantly, why isn't Harmony United Victory doing this themselves? Why are they letting you have this piece of fat?'
'Is it because they've found their conscience? To compensate you? Do they even have a conscience?'
Li Xin's series of consecutive questions left Big D completely bewildered!
Big D's wife said, 'This is also why I had Big D look for you; when Big D was with Harmony United Victory, they were never this kind-hearted.'
'Now it's even less possible; I feel this piece of meat is poisoned, which is why he came to consult you — you're good brothers, you have to help Big D, okay? A Xin.'
Li Xin looked at Big D's stern, silent face and snapped angrily:
'You pigbrain! From now on, have nothing to do with those old silver coins!'
'Listen more to Big D's wife's advice; anyone could harm you, but only Big D's wife won't — did you hear that clearly?'
Big D embarrassedly replied, 'I know! I wasn't just coming to consult you, was I?'
Li Xin saw his appearance and didn't say anything more, then said to Big D's wife:
'Sister-in-law, keep an eye on Big D from now on; don't let him go out alone to meet Harmony United Victory people.'
'Even if you must meet, be sure to bring plenty of people; those guys are all no-good, especially A Le — that bastard is the most scheming.'
Big D's wife nodded and said in agreement, 'A Xin, you're right; Harmony United Victory has nothing good, they're all bastards, you have to be careful with them — these people are scheming.'
Li Xin looked at Big D and gave another warning:
'Don't see Chen Jincheng again; he definitely has others behind him, this matter is too deep for you to handle.'
'No matter what conditions they offer, don't agree; there's something fishy about this.'
The He family on Ao Island has encountered many things in the past few days—even gunmen have been used. Think about it, is this something you can get involved in?
Big D was suddenly startled, his eyes widened as he looked at Li Xin, his voice trembling a bit.
He shouted urgently, "The He family on Ao Island—gunfire? Are these people crazy?"
No wonder Big D is so shocked—He Xin of the He family on Ao Island isn't just known by the title 'Gambling King'.
His methods are ruthless!
