Chapter 284: with translation of chapter title

Li Xin saw He Lao deng not speaking, a hint of smile on his face.

He said: "Uncle He, besides me, no one dares to have designs on A Qiong; you don't want her to end up alone, do you?"

"You little bastard!"

"When did this happen?"

He Xin glared at Li Xin, looking as if he wanted to eat Li Xin alive!

Li Xin embarrassedly rubbed his head and said sheepishly: "It was just a couple days ago, I was drunk! You can understand that, right?"

"I understand your mother's head!"

"Get lost! Hurry up and get lost, I'm not entertaining you today, look at you not bothering others!"

He Xin's face flushed red, his emotions excited, not only cursing with his mouth.

And also cursing in his heart.

"Fuck your grandpa!"

"You damn it, this is getting on the bus first then buying the ticket, you just went ahead and did it!"

"Are you still a human?"

"I damn it, with good intentions, I wanted to marry my precious daughter A Yi to you, but you damn it didn't even say hello, just went straight to A Qiong..."

"Heartbreaking!"

"And he was the one who introduced them, damn it, isn't this inviting a wolf into the house?"

He looked at him with a hostile gaze and said: "Hurry back to Gangdao! Preparing the engagement, this can't be delayed too long."

Li Xin waved his hand and said: "This is easily settled, Villa No. 6 on Victoria Peak is listed with the agency, I've already bought it."

"As our future residence, though it needs to be demolished and rebuilt, which will take some time; now I have a small matter to discuss with you."

He Xin's expression eased a little, but not much better.

He asked somewhat irritably: "What else could be more important than this?"

Li Xin extended his finger, gesturing the number one.

He said: "Use the Red Letter Building as collateral, lend me one hundred million dollars; if I can't repay, the Red Letter Building will be yours."

He Xin's expression slightly stunned, he immediately said: "One hundred million dollars is no problem, I won't ask why, just one condition."

"Speak."

"If you can't repay this time, you'll come to Aodao to help me in the future."

"Don't test me, it's easy for you to bring me here, but hard to let me go!"

"Borrow and repay, borrowing again isn't hard."

Li Xin basically wasn't worried about this; he still had another hundred million dollars of undisclosed funds, repaying this sum would be easy.

This person always leaves a retreat when doing things, never does anything beyond his capabilities, never fights a battle he's not sure of winning.

Whether you call him steady or call him cowardly, he accepts it.

Even if those two hundred million dollars are lost, his foundation remains, as long as the media and security companies are fine.

With VCD in hand, everything else can be started over; he has plenty of time.

In a few years, his modest livelihood could also bring him huge wealth.

He can't spend it all, basically can't spend it all!

At this lavish welcome banquet, He Xin didn't eat very happily, while Li Xin ate with great enjoyment.

Dai Long's culinary skills are beyond reproach, the taste is indeed good.

He Xin watched Li Xin eat heartily, pushing his own portion of abalone toward him, after all, he's the cheap son-in-law.

Dai Long was also very happy today; as a chef, having someone like his dishes is the greatest recognition for him.

Mr. Li is just that kind of person, he ate all the dishes on the table.

Seeing Li Xin put down his chopsticks, he smiled and asked: "Mr. Li, if it's not enough, I'll go make some more."

Li Xin waved his hand and said with a smile: "Master Dai, perfect!"

He then asked: "Do you have any plans to develop back in Gangdao?"

Upon hearing that, Dai Long hesitated a bit and said: "Mr. Li, thank you for your appreciation, I currently have no plans to return."

He then added: "I'm still doing fine in Malaysia!"

"Still okay?"

Upon hearing those two words, Li Xin already knew the situation.

He said: "Master Dai, if you're willing to come develop in Gangdao, I'll give you the best treatment."

"You should know who I am; I want to create a club in Gangdao that offers only the best service."

"If you can come, I'll give you salary, bonuses, and shares."

This wasn't a spur-of-the-moment idea; Robinson had already handed over the Heng Lai Hotel to him, and Li Xin wants to turn the Heng Lai Hotel into the most high-end club.

Provide only the best service, targeting the top-tier clientele.

This idea has been around for a long time; no matter when, information is still crucial!

As previously mentioned, Li Xin only takes care of planting seeds; whether they grow into crops, he doesn't really care.

If it succeeds, great; if not, it's no big deal.

Dai Long felt somewhat moved and asked: "Mr. Li, has the club been built yet?"

Li Xin replied: "The most important thing—food—hasn't been settled; how could it be built?"

"But you don't need to worry; the location is ready—it's the Heng Lai Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui; as soon as you come, it can be put into use quickly."

"The overall structure stays the same, only renovation is needed; it won't take much time."

Dai Long gritted his teeth and said: "Boss, please look after me in the future; I'll just follow you to make a living."

Heh heh, I never shortchange my own people. Take care of the aftermath and come straight to Gangdao to find me.

After Dai Long left, He Xin looked at Li Xin and said, "A Xin, you did well on this point. As long as someone is talented, give them respect."

But you can't be too indulgent, or trouble will arise later!

Li Xin laughed and said, "He Xin, you know, what's the biggest difference between me and you guys?"

Seeing He Xin shake his head, he then continued, "You people need to test those you employ, but I'm different: as long as someone is talented, I give them full trust."

I can give them the best salary and benefits, and also give them sufficient respect.

If this person makes a mistake due to ability issues, I can understand, but if anyone dares to deceive me, that person is done for.

It's this suspicion that is the biggest difference between me and you guys.

I trust my brothers, but if a brother is no longer worthy of my trust, then that person doesn't deserve to be called a brother!

Li Xin looked at Jianguo by the door and laughed, asking, "Jianguo, do you agree?"

Jianguo nodded seriously and said, "The boss treats brothers like hands and feet; if the hands and feet don't listen, just replace them—there's no shortage of people."

Only Jianguo came in with Li Xin; A Bu and Tian Shou were at A Xing's place.

What is a trusted brother?

It's not about who can fight the best; it's definitely about who is most trusted, and that's Jianguo.

Li Xin looked at He Xin and asked, "He Xin, how is this brother of mine?"

He Xin has weathered storms and seen the wickedness of human hearts.

But this was the first time he saw, from one person's gaze, a man admiring another man.

Hmm! Jianguo admires Li Xin, but I don't know what exactly he admires!

Hard to say!

He Xin opened his mouth and asked, "Such brothers—how many do you have?"

Li Xin still asked Jianguo, "Jianguo, how many such brothers do I have?"

Jianguo thought for a moment and tallied up the personnel from all places.

He replied, "Boss, there could be about six or seven hundred people."

He added, "All of them are willing to give their lives for you!"

Not counting Tian Hong and his group.
