Chapter 159

Recently Li Xin has been busy; the gang leader of this society asked him for drinks, the tea house master asked him for tea, he cannot refuse, and people directly came to Xi Gong to block him.

Shanghai Boss Du has a saying that's very good: in this lifetime there are three bowls of noodles to eat.

Dignity: it is a person's outward appearance and conduct that should manifest respectable qualities; not only must one demand dignity of oneself, but also strive to let those around gain dignity.

Situation: it involves the ability to respond in social settings, such as proper performance in important occasions, and after success, maintaining a humble attitude.

Favor: it concerns human relations and worldly wisdom, emphasizing seeking understanding and harmony in interpersonal relationships, and finding a balance between interests and emotions.

Li Xin doesn't have much acquaintance with these people, but he still has to give them face.

As long as one mingles in this big dye vat of the martial world, one cannot avoid these.

These people have one purpose: if later their subordinates offend him, let Li Xin give them some face, and they will return Li Xin a bit of inside favor.

Nothing can stay secret forever; it must be the Victory Union Tsim Sha Tsui affair that leaked the news, making these people so nervous.

Li Xin saw off the last person, looking at the cement road at the door. There's nothing he can't admit; he's the kind who dares to do and dares to take responsibility.

However, this matter happened several months ago, and only now has it surfaced—how interesting! Someone is looking for trouble, wanting to stir up trouble!

This matter is A Le Qian's; regardless of whether it's him or not, it must be him.

Li Xin took out the small notebook from his space, recorded this matter, and will repay it when the opportunity arises.

Still thinking about how to deal with A Le, his mobile phone rang.

He put it to his ear and asked, "Who is it?"

From the phone came Bo Shu's excited and happy voice.

"A Xin! Hurry to the main hall, A Ji has been hacked! Well, I just called you—come quickly, there's a good show to watch!"

Li Xin hung up the phone, speechlessly thinking, "We three aren't just good buddies who feel each other up and sing, are you? Your gloating expression is really hard to understand!"

Is friendship so fragile?

When Li Xin arrived at the main hall, he saw gauze all over, and Ji Ge had no good spot on his body.

He couldn't help but tease: "Ji Ge, whose house did you go to steal a person? How did you get hacked into this bear-like state? This is too miserable!"

Bo Shu beside him interjected: "One look and you know he wasn't up to any good; otherwise who would hack him?"

Turning his head to look at Li Xin, he asked: "A Xin, you say, is it so?"

"Mm!"

Li Xin nodded in agreement and said solemnly: "Ji Ge, tell us, who hacked you? We'll go demand medical fees from you, and you'll take some wear-and-tear compensation from them; then this matter will be settled—do you think that works?"

Ji Ge was so angry at those two that he panted heavily, shouting: "You two get lost, don't loiter around me; seeing you annoys me!"

Jiang Tian Sheng entered the room, and only then did those two return to their seats, still discussing who from which family's elders hacked Ji Ge!

Jiang Tian Sheng looked at Ji Ge's appearance, couldn't help but laugh, and asked.

"Ji Ge, you didn't even say what happened on the phone; now everyone's here, tell us exactly what happened? How did you get beaten like this?"

Ji Ge exposed his eyes and mouth, one hand still wearing a sling, the other hand slapped the table.

He shouted: "I don't know what's going on either! I was resting in a bathing private room in West Ring, and four people rushed in without a word and started hacking at me."

"If I hadn't jumped out the window, I might have been killed! I'm not a troublemaker; who would hack me for no reason?"

"This time it's definitely aimed at the society; I'm suffering an undeserved disaster."

"That's why I summoned everyone, to remind you all to be careful—this is an ill-intentioned visitor!"

Li Xin couldn't hold back and burst out laughing; everyone was looking at him.

This Ji Ge is also a talent; he can find an excuse and drag the society into it.

Moreover, the reason is solid—it wasn't aimed at him personally, but at the society, thus turning a personal conflict into a societal one!

Really a talent!

He hurried to explain: "Sorry! I won a horse bet yesterday, and thinking about it today made me happy—you all continue, don't mind me!"

Bo Shu still believed it was true, and hurriedly whispered: "A Xin, how much did you win? With such good luck, you should treat us!"

Li Xin nodded repeatedly and said cheerfully: "Let Jianguo take you out to play a bit later; I'll pay, don't be polite, have fun!"

Jiang Tian Sheng gave Ji Ge face, didn't expose him, and asked Ji Ge: "Any recent movements among the societies in West Ring?"

Ji Ge's face was tightly wrapped, so his complexion couldn't be seen; one can imagine it must be very embarrassing.

Recently he's also had some dealings with the East Prosperity Smiling Tiger, still through the introduction of the acquaintance Iron Monkey; it shouldn't be because of this matter, right?

Regarding Jiang Tian Sheng's words, he couldn't not answer, so he forced himself to say:

"West Ring has no movement; could it be that other societies are using me as a pawn to do something?"

"Last time dealing with Prosperity Peace, A Xin wasn't it just finding Chen Tailong to cause trouble? This time maybe someone wants to deal with Thus line: Prosperity, so they're looking for me to cause trouble!"

Li Xin finally couldn't hold back, laughed for a while, then said:

"Ji Ge, can you start a society war? With just those few streets of yours in West Ring, or is it that others out of respect for Thus line: Prosperity haven't moved you?"

"Even if West Ring's territory is lost, it won't start a society war unless some lunatic smashes the ancestral hall; normal people wouldn't go that far."

"Furthermore! The ancestral hall is the base of the law hall, so it's not something just anyone can move; think hard about who you've offended, stop dragging out useless things."

After hearing Li Xin finish these words, everyone laughed; this Ji Ge is also muddle-headed, daring to use A Xin as a raft—isn't he just asking for a beating?

Is A Xin someone who pampers spoiled children?

Usually giving Ji Ge face is because you haven't provoked him; this time, though—you've been slapped in the face, right?

Jiang Tian Sheng tapped the table and also laughed, saying: "Everyone, let's look into this! It also counts as giving Ji Ge an explanation—let's see exactly what caused him to be beaten like this!"

Everyone voiced agreement, but as for whether they'll actually act, that's hard to say.

Jiang Tian Sheng didn't haggle either, directly announcing the meeting's dismissal.

Li Xin was just about to return to Xi Gong when Jiang Tian Sheng called him over, saying: "A Xin, come to my villa for a bit; I have something to discuss with you."

"Fine, I'll just take your car there, letting Jianguo take Bo Shu to enjoy themselves."

Li Xin directly got into Jiang Tian Sheng's car, returned to his villa, and came to the study.

Jiang Tian Sheng then said: "A Xin, you let me keep a cargo ship for you—what do you want to do?"

Li Xin didn't beat around the bush, saying: "Mr. Jiang, I want to sell some health products in Japan, see how the market is."

"If it works, we'll build a factory there; if not, my factory in Xi Gong can still be turned into a beverage plant—either way we won't lose."

"For now, we can only transport by cargo ship; I'll hand over Southeast Asia to Han Bin to handle."

"This health product is just a test run; there are bigger deals waiting! Without a stable transport channel, how can it work?"

"As for being a shipping magnate, he hasn't even thought about it; this matter is better left to our own people."
