Chapter 206

When Li Xin came out from inside, he saw the people of the Xi Gong Police Station maintaining order outside.

The person leading the group was very familiar to him—Police Station Chief Inspector Zhang Tiezhu. (Jianghu Love)

Li Xin came up to him, smiling and asked, 'Zhang Sir, you didn't go fishing today?'

Zhang Sir gave him a sideways glance, laughing and scolding, 'Get lost! I'm also a Xi Gong person now; you, Councilor Li, can contribute to Xi Gong, we also need to put in some effort, right?'

Li Xin wasn't joking with him; he put an arm around his shoulder and whispered, 'Tonight I'll take the brothers to a restaurant for dinner; at noon I really don't have time to entertain you.'

Zhang Sir nodded and softly replied, 'Then I'll thank A Xin for treating the brothers to a meal on their behalf! We'll go after work.'

After Li Xin left, Zhang Sir told the nearby officers, 'Don't go home after work tonight; Councilor Li is treating everyone to dinner tonight.'

The surrounding officers' faces lit up with joy—tonight they get to enjoy a good meal again!

'Zhang Sir! Don't worry—we'll skip lunch and wait for that dinner; Xin Brother will treat us, and it's all definitely good stuff,' joked the officer beside Zhang Sir.

Zhang Sir laughed and scolded, 'Look at your little ambition! A meal bought you? You keep saying "Xin Brother" over and over!'

The officer retorted, 'Zhang Sir! Don't wrongly accuse me—does Xin Brother even need to bribe us?'

'If he coughs in Xi Gong, we can't even get out of the police station gate—those old uncles and aunts could take care of us!'

The surrounding officers heard this and immediately burst into laughter.

But nobody objected!

Through time and a few deeds, Li Xin's reputation in Xi Gong has kept rising; now anyone who dares to speak ill of him here will easily be besieged by old men and women.

'Friend of the elderly'—that's Li Xin!

Soon after, Shao Lao Liu's convoy arrived, followed by another convoy, and many famous actors stepped out of the cars.

Li Xin waved at the little fatty and said, 'Take Director Wu to receive those actors—don't neglect them; guests are to be honored.'

The little fatty laughed and replied, 'Boss! You can count on me—I'll definitely entertain them well.'

Li Xin walked over to Shao Lao Liu's car and opened the door for him.

Smiling, he said, 'Sixth Uncle! Welcome to Red Signal Film City for observation and guidance.'

After Shao Lao Liu got out of the car and looked around, he said, 'A Xin! You've done a really good job—just don't know how it's inside.'

Li Xin led the way, saying as they walked, 'It's only just taking shape; construction isn't finished yet, and there's still a lot of work to do.'

Pointing to the completed section, he said, 'Part of it is already ready for use—let's open for business first and discuss the rest later.'

'We can't wait for the whole thing to be finished before opening—when would that be?'

Shao Lao Liu nodded and agreed, 'Not bad—time waits for no one; waiting until everything's finished before using would waste a lot of money, so this is good.'

After Shao Lao Liu arrived, the opening ceremony was about to begin; at that moment, the Li family's eldest son, Li Ju, also came with his entourage.

Li Xin shook his hand and said, 'Thank you! Li Prince, please come inside.'

Li Ju looked over this young Li Director, wondering how this person could earn his father's renewed regard and even prompt him to come personally to congratulate.

'Mr. Li! Does your Red Signal Group have plans to enter the real estate industry?'

Li Xin gave him a glance and joked, 'That's your big group's territory—our Red Signal Group simply doesn't have the strength to enter yet.'

After saying that, he led Li Ju to the main table and said, 'Everyone! It's about time—let's go up and cut the ribbon.'

Today many media reporters were present, watching the people on stage cut the ribbon, and they all thought, 'Red Signal Group has deep connections!'

Ho Group's Huojingliang, New River Real Estate's Li Yunfei, TVB's Shao Shizi, Shinde Real Estate's He Qiong, and the Wong Li family's eldest son, Li Ju.

Each of these people is no ordinary figure; they are all prominent personalities in Gangdao's business circles.

Hongyi Brothers' Film's Jiang Tian Sheng and Qiangsheng Film's Xu brothers, among this crowd, appear quite unnoticeable, with very low presence.

Li Xin stepped among them and took the scissors from the etiquette miss's hand.

Looking at the crowd, he said, 'Please, everyone.'

After the ribbon-cutting ceremony ended, the main event officially began.

Li Xin did not go back on stage; those being interviewed onstage were Ho Jianning and the little fatty.

Jiang Tian Sheng and the Xu brothers, as shareholders, also stood beside them.

Li Xin sat at the main table, watching the performers on stage, and from time to time he exchanged a few words with those at the main table.

Huojingliang glanced at Li Xin and asked curiously, 'A Xin! Why didn't you go up? Today should be your main stage, right?'

Li Xin poured him a glass of red wine and explained, 'No need! After the first press conference ends, who doesn't know the Film City is mine? I don't need publicity—let them shine.'

Li Yunfei laughed and said, 'A Xin! You have vision—indeed there's no need; your status is enough, so there's no need to always put yourself forward.'

Pointing to Jiang Tian Sheng and the Xu brothers on stage, he teased, 'Look at these people—their foreheads are sweating; no wonder it's not easy!'

Li Xin didn't expect that this thick-browed, big-eyed Li Yunfei would also be no good!

As for Jiang Tian Sheng and the Xu brothers, they just wanted to show their faces, yet he gave them a dressing-down!

'Li Director! How's the project you're collaborating with Mr. Jiang? Why has there been no movement for so long?'

Li Yunfei looked around and replied, 'Let's go to the restaurant to discuss in detail—it's also about the brokerage company's matters, and we need to talk with you thoroughly.'

Huojingliang looked at Li Yunfei and said disdainfully, 'You guys just lack guts—I know about the Kowloon City project, and yet a bunch of rent-collectors managed to block it; truly embarrassing.'

He Qiong and Li Ju were both listening intently, eager to hear some inside news, but she wasn't very familiar with New River Real Estate's Li Yunfei—having only met him a few times at banquets—and felt awkward to speak up.

If Huojingliang could explain things clearly, that would be best—then they could later undertake the Kowloon City project with a reference, since information is crucial in business circles.

Li Yunfei gave Huojingliang a helpless glance—this guy is always arrogant and overbearing, never putting anyone in his sight.

Everyone today came to show Li Xin support—we can't let Li Yunfei be put on the spot.

So he quickly said, 'Director Ho! Let's discuss this later at the restaurant—this isn't the place to talk, with so many people around.'

Shao Lao Liu wasn't interested in these, but told Li Xin, 'A Xin! When the interview ends, have your people spread the word about our two families' cooperation to give the Film City some extra buzz.'

Li Xin nodded in agreement—Shao Sixth Uncle has already given him this face, so he has no reason to refuse.
