Chapter 273: Mutual consent, no coercion

~8 min read 1,439 words

When Baoqiang mentioned starting a company, Li Xin thought of that security team captain named Huanzi.

He asked with a smile, "Brother Qiang, besides the security company, what other companies are you running?"

Baoqiang perked up, laughing loudly and said, "Hey! A Xin, let me tell you, besides the film company, I copied Jingkun's setup and also founded a funeral company."

"You know, Huang Daxian does a lot of this; I merged some small shops and set up a funeral company."

Li Xin gave him a thumbs-up; though this guy has a hot temper, his mind is actually quite sharp.

In the Huang Daxian District, the most famous thing is the Huang Daxian Temple.

In the hearts of Gangdao people, Huang Daxian is a deity with boundless magic and vast supernatural powers, regarded as the god of wealth, a protective deity, and Wen Chang, who oversees scholars' fates.

Holding multiple positions!

Because he answers every prayer, he is widely beloved among Gangdao people.

Moreover, because the Huang Daxian Temple is located at a major transportation hub in Gangdao, making it convenient for worshippers to visit, its incense thrives, making it one of the most flourishing temples in Gangdao.

The Huang Daxian Temple is not only a place where believers pray for peace, health, and happiness; in Gangdao's culture it holds a pivotal position, even transcending religious belief itself, becoming a kind of faith in the hearts of Hong Kong people.

The Huang Daxian Temple's hall is grand in scale, the environment tranquil; every year many devotees and tourists come to pay respects.

Furthermore, the Diamond Hill Crematorium is right in the Huang Daxian District, so the funeral business here is highly developed; Baoqiang opening a funeral company is absolutely a lucrative venture.

After the banquet, Li Xin rose, intending to go out with Baoqiang to keep drinking.

Bosu grabbed him with one hand and said, "A Xin, I have a matter I'd like you to help with, what do you think?"

Seeing this, Baoqiang laughed and said, "A Xin, we'll get together another time; let's leave it at that for today."

Li Xin waved goodbye to him and followed Bosu to the private room.

Inside the private room, a woman was already waiting; she was attractive, and what drew the most attention were her long legs.

Without Bosu's introduction, Li Xin already knew who she was.

After Li Xin sat down, Bosu pointed to Wang Fengyi and introduced, "A Xin, this is Wang Fengyi, daughter of Wang Dong of the Whole Prosperity Society."

Li Xin greeted her, "Miss Wang, hello, I'm Li Xin."

"Brother Xin, I'm Wang Fengyi of the Whole Prosperity Society; please look after me in the future, Brother Xin."

Wang Fengyi smiled and greeted Li Xin; to her, Li Xin was no stranger, indeed one could say his name was like thunder in her ears.

Among those who wander the gangs of Gangdao, not everyone knows each other, but who hasn't heard of the name "Immortal Trust"?

After exchanging greetings, Bosu then said, "A Xin, I get along well with Wang Dong; he's gone for further studies and entrusted me to look after Fengyi, but you also know I currently lack the ability to do so."

"The Whole Prosperity Society is unstable now; it's because of our good relationship that I have no choice but to swallow my pride and turn to you for help."

Li Xin laughed and said, "Bosu, what's the point of talking about our relationship like this?"

"If you speak up, as long as the terms are suitable, I will definitely not refuse anything I can handle."

"If it's Bosu's matter, Li Xin will take care of it directly."

They're not just buddies who hum and sing together; whenever there's good fortune, Bosu also thinks of him, and their bond remains deep.

Bosu said, "Adong had long wanted to wind up the society's business, but unexpectedly, before he could finish things, he went straight inside."

"He handed the Whole Prosperity Society over to Fengyi's hands; she now basically can't control the society, so I'd like to ask you to give her a hand."

Li Xin looked at Wang Fengyi, smiled and asked, "Miss Wang, helping you poses no problem; what can I gain?"

Thinking of He Shichang's gaze made Wang Fengyi shudder.

Looking at Li Xin, she said, "Brother Xin, as long as you can help bring the Whole Prosperity Society back onto the right track, I'll give you its territory."

Li Xin laughed and asked Bosu, "Bosu, do I need territory?"

"You two chat; if you reach a conclusion, just give me a call. I'm leaving now."

As for whether Wang Fengyi will agree, Li Xin couldn't care less.

For matters of mutual consent, he's not the type to be stopped just by seeing a pretty girl.

Upon seeing Li Xin's gaze, Bosu, as an old hand in the pleasure quarters, couldn't fail to know what he was thinking.

But... it's not a bad thing either; for Wang Dong to find such an affordable son-in-law is already like burning high incense for him.

After Li Xin left, Wang Fengyi looked at Bosu, puzzled, and asked, "Bosu, what does Brother Xin mean?"

Bosu shook his head; Wang Dong was also addled, and Fengyi simply lacks the ability to survive in the jianghu.

Even what A Xin wants, they couldn't figure out—how obvious!

He said, "Fengyi, come with me to Red Pillar; this matter needs to be discussed with your father; after the talk, you decide whether to seek A Xin's help."

……

Red Pillar Visiting Room.

Bosu and Wang Dong, having finished stating Li Xin's conditions.

He asked, "Adong, you father and daughter decide this matter; with A Xin as your backer, Fengyi will have no trouble from now on."

"You know what kind of person A Xin is; his strength speaks for itself—no need for me to elaborate."

Wang Dong considered for a moment, then asked, "A Xin is indeed a suitable choice, but can he marry my daughter?"

Bosu shook his head and said, "Based on my understanding, maybe he could stand up to her, but now his enterprises are huge; Fengyi lacks the ability to uphold the position of a principal wife."

Although polygamy has been abolished in Gangdao now, enforcement is lax—not even now, let alone twenty years from now!

Especially among some big families, taking several wives is quite normal.

Wang Dong furrowed his brows, somewhat displeased, and said, "How can she lack ability? Fengyi graduated from a prestigious university; aren't abilities honed through training?"

Bosu retorted, "Don't kid yourself! How did you get in here? You don't even know yourself."

"With Fengyi's personality, could she outplay those old foxes of the Whole Prosperity Society?"

"Especially He Shichang—you know exactly what he's like; in this situation, what are you still hesitating about?"

Wang Dong's expression sank a little; these are facts he cannot deny.

Raising his head, he looked at Bosu and said, "I'll talk with Fengyi and see what she decides."

……

Li Xin returned to the Shallow Water Bay villa, Line: Qiuti had just poured him a glass of red wine, and the big brother phone rang.

"A Xin, I'm Uncle Six, someone asked me to act as a middleman, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Li Xin laughed, the Li family is also too slow!

How many days has it been?

The Li family had connections with Shao Lao Liu, Li Xin knew this, TVB previously the Li family was a major shareholder, their relationship is complicated.

Since the Li family found a middleman, Li Xin also doesn't need to beat around the bush.

He said: "Uncle Six, you know me, I never provoke trouble, Li Yunfei came out to start a company with me, that was entirely his own choice."

"This is normal business dealings, but the Li family used despicable means to disgust me, the Li family's son even hurled abuse at me."

"Do you think this can be settled? If I don't give a response, wouldn't I be letting down the Li family?"

"You're playing this trick with me?"

"Has the Li family not woken up yet? Or did their brains get knocked by a door bow?"

Hmm, the matter was vaguely admitted, but it's still hard to get a hold of.

As a participant in gang fights, always wearing a head covering, Li Xin has never let go of his habits.

After all… it's possible to have a heart that harms others, but one must never lack a heart that guards against others!
