~7 min read 1,288 words

Mr Huo explained: "It's not that much, A Xin didn't do reasonable tax avoidance, he paid full taxes to his hometown, otherwise you'd think how did that sign at his company's entrance come about?"

"Even if A Xin did reasonable tax avoidance, his hometown couldn't say anything, because this matter is reasonable and legal."

"But A Xin didn't do that, so he said: 'What we do, others can see, and they'll keep it in mind.'"

"This is also why I've persisted like this for a long time; since you've picked a side, don't be of two minds, otherwise you'll be neither here nor there."

Young Master Huo asked: "Father, you said before, in a few years does A Xin have a chance to touch the position of richest person?"

Mr Huo shook his head, saying: "No, he won't sit in that position; if anyone sits, it will be A Qiong."

"You haven't seen that he's been living reclusively and going out simply this year, have you?"

"This is to let him settle, wanting to sink his presence deep into the sea bottom, so that others can see only a scale and half a claw."

Mr Huo sighed: "At this age to see through the world of fame and fortune is truly remarkable!"

"No wonder Mr He designated him as a Fuling Person; this is a hidden dragon, when he reveals his true form, maybe even Gangdao can't contain him."

Young Master Huo echoed: "A Xin is really impressive, how many years has he been rising?"

"To rise from nothing to this extent, saying he's a dragon among men is not an exaggeration!"

Mr Huo nodded satisfiedly, praising: "A Ting, I'm very satisfied with your mindset, no envy, only admiration, it's rare!"

Young Master Huo waved his hand: "Father, we people enjoy the conveniences brought by our elders, but A Xin built himself blade by blade; I have no right to envy him."

"If possible, I actually want to make friends with him; hearing is false, seeing is believing. A Xin's conduct really leaves nothing to be said."

Young Master Huo seemed to recall something funny, hehe said: "After we finished tea and talked business, he took me to the lounge to drink alcohol, baijiu!"

"You guess what the side dish is?"

"What?"

Young Master Huo laughed and answered: "Braised beef and old vinegar spinach peanuts!"

Mr Huo said solemnly: "He can eat, these two are good side dishes for alcohol; back when I went to sea, I always brought some braised beef, I also like this."

……

The Li Xin who can eat is entertaining guests, an unexpected guest.

"Director Yu, we haven't seen each other for a long time!"

Director Yu raised his cup and clinked it with Li Xin's, then said: "This time I can come only after signing the agreement; otherwise coming to Gangdao now would really be troublesome!"

Li Xin said: "My own place, what trouble could there be?"

Director Yu smiled bitterly: "A Xin, to say this is embarrassing!"

"This time I came to visit many people, and only here with you did I have a smooth drink; elsewhere, that cup of wine is really hard to swallow, very bitter!"

Li Xin picked up the bottle and filled it for him, then said: "Drink a few more cups of the smooth one, I'll keep you company drinking heartily."

"Cheers!"

The two picked up their cups and drained them, Director Yu wiped the corner of his mouth.

"A Xin, one doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall without reason; this time I've come to ask you for a favor."

"We two are old acquaintances, why be so polite? Just speak plainly."

"A Xin, you also know, from the moment the agreement was signed, Gangdao will undergo many changes; you have high prestige in the martial world, I'd like you to introduce my people, is that not troublesome?"

Li Xin waved his hand, saying indifferently: "Small matter, this can't be brought to the table yet; drinking is the big deal."

Director Yu put down his cup: "A Xin, to you this may be a small matter, but to us it's a big one; whether Gangdao can stably return, the martial world is a hurdle that cannot be crossed."

"Although we could sweep them away with thunderous force, after all there are over ten years, the stability of those over ten years is especially important."

"If it were up to my temperament, I'd definitely want to thoroughly deal with them, but under the One Country, Two Systems policy, this can't be done so crudely, otherwise public opinion pressure would be too great."

"So, I've come to you with a thick skin, after all you have enough deterrent power in the martial world and many friends."

Li Xin picked up a piece of braised beef and put it in his mouth, then took another sip of liquor.

"Director Yu, we've known each other as old friends; you've never spoken against me, my hometown business you've also often looked after; not to mention this small matter, even if it were bigger, I wouldn't let you leave empty-handed."

Director Yu waved his hand: "A Xin, regarding your hometown business, I really haven't helped much; it's all you yourself made; the superiors gave instructions, stated clearly, cannot let patriotic entrepreneurs feel cold-hearted."

"With this saying, who dares to reach out to Red Signal Electronics would truly be courting death."

"Wanting to die, there's no such way to seek death; those with sufficient status know this news, those without sufficient status can't even get near it."

"Don't talk about these!"

Li Xin curiously asked: "Director Yu, I know you're very familiar with Mr He, do you know who sent that 'fu' character?"

Director Yu merely raised his hand upward, said nothing.

Li Xin understood, curiosity can kill a cat and also make Xin uncomfortable; this matter ends here, he didn't continue asking anything!

"Who is the contact person this time?"

Director Yu smiled a bit, somewhat embarrassedly said: "Big Circle Leopard."

"Pfft!"

Li Xin couldn't hold back, laughed out loud, thinking of Big Circle Leopard's iconic scene, there's an inexplicable sense of amusement!

In a room two people, one wearing shoes, one barefoot!!

……

The next day.

Li Xin arrived at Prosperous Corner Grand Righteousness Film & TV, just entered the door and saw A Wu angrily beating Sha Qiang.

"What's going on?"

A Wu released Sha Qiang from his hand, angrily said to Li Xin: "Brother Xin, this loser is stealing my business, you say I can't not hit him?"

"Damn!"

Sha Qiang, after being hit, still unwilling, feeling wronged, complained to Li Xin: "Brother Xin, give me a fair judgment, my VCD sales this year are good, he says I'm stealing business, isn't that twisting words?"

Li Xin gave Jing Kun a thumbs up, okay, Brother Kun knows how to do business, letting these idle people be salesmen is just right.

Seeing A Wu still about to make a move, Li Xin grabbed him and laughed, scolding: "Look at you two, what little promise you have—selling goods isn't fighting; being handy is useless, you need a sweet tongue."

You two hurry up and get lost—damn it, not ashamed to lose face!

Ignoring those two idiots, Li Xin stepped into Jing Kun's office.

I didn't expect to also see a live performance—Jing Kun lay on the boss's chair while the fire extinguisher was busy.

Li Xin took a close look—even this little silkworm pupa, I don't know what's tasty about it, yet you're putting in so much effort!

Li Xin knocked twice on the door inside, startling Jing Kun so much he jumped; he couldn't hold back and vomited outright.
