Chapter 312

Red Letter Group Building.

Li Xin in the office watching on TV, the spirited Jiang Tian Sheng, secretly amused, Mr. Jiang just loves such occasions.

After turning off the TV, looking at Huo Jian Ning sitting on the sofa.

Smiling, he asked: "This time acquiring ATV and Far East Bank shares, the group took out over two hundred million funds; can the group's financial reserves still hold up?"

Huo Jian Ning said: "Boss, you don't need to worry about the group's capital chain; the telecommunications company is highly profitable, and the financial reserves are ample."

"That's just because the group is expanding too fast; otherwise, our financial reserves should be stronger than many large groups."

"Film and TV company, taxi company, telecommunications company—each month they bring the group a substantial cash flow."

"If it weren't for the current unfavorable macro environment, I would want to borrow from various major banks to expand quickly."

Li Xin nodded: "Group affairs are up to you; our foundation is still shallow, don't be too impatient—solidify the base first."

"This time the intermediary company's IPO, just let Mr. Jiang accompany you; he's willing to attend such occasions, so that satisfies him."

Huo Jian Ning, upon hearing, laughed and said: "Boss, you're just low-key, unwilling to seek any spotlight."

Li Xin waved his hand: "It's not low-key; I simply don't need publicity."

"My identity and résumé have nothing shameful; I'm not afraid of others putting me in the sun to expose."

"Even the police say I'm a model citizen, with a spotless record."

Li Xin's words made Huo Jian Ning burst out laughing.

The boss is also a remarkable person, able to start from a gang and still have no criminal record—this is truly unbelievable!

Now the boss has also withdrawn from Thus line: Prosperity; from now on, he has no flaws whatsoever—he's just a proper wealthy magnate.

As for that Triad identity, there's no issue at all; many Southeast Asian political figures also hang various fraternal society labels.

1983.

August 17, Wednesday, lunar June (minor) the ninth.

The stem-branch is Gui Hai year, Geng Shen month, Ding Chou day; the na yin is pomegranate wood; the day officer is Zhi Zhi position (auspicious); the deity is Ming Tang (Yellow Road day); suitable for conducting marriage, engagement, blessings, sacrifices, praying for offspring, signing contracts, renovation, construction, planting, moving, travel, opening markets, opening warehouses, etc.

This is the day He Qiong had a master calculate; their engagement was set far back to this day.

Peninsula Hotel.

Today many wealthy magnates have come, all to attend Li Xin's engagement ceremony.

Li Xin stood at the hotel entrance greeting guests; beside him were Huo Jian Ning and Lu Bin Sun.

Huo Jian Ning and Lu Bin Sun were introducing guests to him.

"Boss, this is Sun Director; we have many collaborations with our company."

Li Xin shook hands with Sun Director: "Thank you, Sun Director, for coming to my engagement ceremony."

"Mr. Li, you're too polite; as a partner, even if knives fell from the sky, I'd rush over—otherwise it would be too rude!"

Li Xin smiled and said to Huo Jian Ning: "You entertain Sun Director; I'll go greet an old friend."

The engagement banquet was held with great pomp, attended by many district councilors, top tycoons, and jianghu bigwigs.

Well, Li Xin didn't avoid anyone; he sent invitations to all those on good terms with him.

However, these jianghu people were arranged by him in another banquet hall.

Today, these jianghu people deliberately lowered their voices considerably.

Even A Xin today sent them invitations for this occasion.

What does this indicate?

It shows that A Xin didn't treat them as outsiders; they too should be self-conscious and not lose A Xin's face.

Huang Bingyao, as Li Xin's elder, attended the engagement banquet.

After the ceremony, Huang Bingyao handed Li Xin a document bag.

Smiling, he said: "A Xin, this is a gift from Big Brother; inside are all your files—how to handle them is up to you."

Li Xin gave Old Huang a hug—uh, he didn't manage to hold on!!

His belly was in the way!

Thanks, Big Brother!

Say those.

What's our relationship? No need for this.

After seeing off the guests, He Xin found Li Xin, looking at him suspiciously.

He asked uncertainly: "A Xin, honestly, are you an undercover police officer?"

Li Xin smiled and asked: "By today, does it even matter?"

"I'm now neither a gang member nor a policeman; I just have more friends—what's the problem?"

He Xin patted his shoulder, sighing: "Sharp!"

"Really sharp!"

"That's right; maybe it doesn't matter anymore—given your current achievements, no one would be so obtuse as to dig into the roots."

He Xin glanced at Jiang Tian Sheng, who was seeing off guests, and his mouth twitched.

He gave a thumbs-up: "You really have a way—you not only got ashore yourself, but also pulled him out; this deed is righteous!"

Li Xin also laughed: "I could have today thanks to Mr. Jiang and Thus line: Prosperity contributing a lot; there's no reason not to lend him a hand."

Let me tell you: starting today, He Qiong will withdraw from the He Family company; you'd better quickly find someone to take over Xin De's business.

He Xin spoke, furrowing his brow: "No need, right? He Qiong's shares can just be considered the He Family's dowry."

Li Xin waved his hand in refusal: "No, you know your family's situation yourself; we two aren't lacking that either."

Tell your several wives clearly: don't come to He Qiong's place to cause trouble, or I won't give them face.

He Xin lowly cursed: "You little turtle bastard, you've snatched He Qiong and now want to sever ties with the He Family—keep dreaming!"

Even not calling He Uncle, damn it, I shouldn't have introduced Ah Qiong to you from the start; your goal has always been Ah Qiong, right?

Li Xin, a bachelor, nodded in acknowledgment, laughing and said: "That's right; otherwise, if you let me go to Aodao, I would go?"

This isn't to give face to Gambling King He, but to give face to your daughter.

He Xin's face flushed red with anger, and he gave that guy a fierce stare.

I am now your father-in-law, and you speak to me like this?

You're not pretending at all?

Li Xin put his arm around his shoulders, comforting: "Look at you, you said it yourself—you're my father-in-law, not an outsider, what are you pretending for?"

Precisely because you're not an outsider, I spoke openly with you; I don't covet your family's property.

Since I'm not getting any benefit, I won't spare them any face; whoever dares to cause me trouble, I'll wipe out all their branches and leaves, leaving only the trunk for you.

You're being particular, huh?

……

He Xin's mind conjured the scene of their first meeting a year ago.

This little bastard, although he's come this far, his jianghu habits haven't diminished in the slightest.

He Xin said in a low voice: "Don't act recklessly; I'll warn them to keep away from Ah Qiong from now on."

Li Xin nodded: "As long as they don't bother me, that's fine; I only want people, not money."

I actually hope you want money!

Not lacking!

Well, their conversation that day wasn't very pleasant!
