Chapter 439: The feeling of getting two benefits at once is awesome

Meng Bo returned to the car, pulled out a check from his pocket and glanced at it, muttering, "This money is truly easy to make, or is it pleasant to enjoy the shade of a big tree?"

Does Meng Bo know about this?

He knows!

The four Thus line: Leaders of Thus line: Prosperity placed an order with him, wanting to know who the suppliers of these retail businesses on Gangdao are.

One job, two payments—this work is extremely comfortable!

Moreover, this isn't him lacking professional ethics; the two sides want different things, and he can give each a satisfactory answer—this is what's called "one fish, two eats."

Meng Bo also acts with propriety; taking the investigation report, he found Da Sha and the others.

Several people were very satisfied with Meng Bo's efficiency; this job was done well.

After Meng Bo and the others finished reading the investigation report, he then said: "Several Big Brothers, I've taken on another piece of business here—I need to let you know."

Hu Wang is a straightforward person: "Just speak straight if there's something; we're not outsiders."

Meng Bo detailed the matter commissioned by Jing Bian, then asked: "When do you think I should tell him the results?"

Fei Quan burst out laughing, pointing at Meng Bo: "You're really capable; you can handle this, but we need to wait until we've settled these suppliers before we speak."

We can't let your small money cause a snag; otherwise, we'll have trouble explaining it to the old top.

Meng Bo nodded and replied: "I know my limits; the boss's matters come first, everything else must make way for this."

After Meng Bo left, Da Sha and the four others sorted and categorized the materials, each taking a copy, then went their separate ways.

……

Kai Tak Airport.

Li Xin sent Hong Wen-sheng and the other two to the station entrance, advising them: "You two should spend the New Year on Gangdao before heading back; after all, the festive atmosphere on Gangdao is much richer than that of Yingjiang."

Hong Wen-sheng shook his head, explaining: "A Xin, I'd also like to stay longer, but my seated-hall position doesn't allow it, and there are still many things I need to do."

If you have time, come play in Yingjiang; I'll accompany you the whole way.

Li Xin nodded: "Yeah, if I get the chance I'll go have a look; after the New Year's high-table meeting, you'll need to give Tianhong some extra pointers—after all, this kid has a short temper, and if he disagrees he might take out a few attendees, which would be lively!"

Hong Wen-sheng replied with a laugh: "No problem, I really like Tianhong's straightforwardness—say what you mean, live happily!"

Li Xin watched the two leave, then told Jianguo: "Let's go to Huanggua's home."

Li Huanggua Manor.

This is Li Xin's second time stepping inside; the first time was because of the Oriental Daily matter, this time he's come to call in a favor.

Hasn't that favor been repaid yet?

How could it be!

Is Li Xin's favor that easy to repay?

Even if Hong Kong Electric doesn't withdraw, Li Xin would at most waste a bit more money trying to make him give up—utterly impossible.

This time coming to the Li household, Li Xin's feeling is different from last time; last time when he came, he and Li Huanggua were not on the same level.

This time is different; although there's still a gap between them, it's not so great that he can't see their back.

Li Xin glanced at the Li family's security measures, nodded inwardly, and seeing the arrangement knew it was done by professionals.

It seems this time the Li eldest son was kidnapped, and Li Huanggua also tightened his own security level.

Li Xin took the tea the servant brought, smiled, and said: "Thank you!"

"Mr. Li, you're welcome!"

Li Huanggua looked at Li Xin and asked: "Mr. Li, what brings you here this time?"

Li Xin set down his teacup and said: "Mr. Li, there's nothing else—I just want to borrow Watsons' supply chain for a bit; I don't think you'll refuse me, right?"

Li Huanggua cursed Li Xin's eight generations of ancestors in his heart.

This damn bully is going too far!

The supply chain is the lifeblood of retail enterprises—can it really be lent?

That's just because Old Li is well-cultivated and didn't erupt in a tirade.

Li Huanggua rubbed the few remaining hairs on his head, smiling: "Mr. Li, you're being a bit demanding!"

"If I lend you the supply chain, I might as well just sell Watsons to you!"

Li Xin didn't give him a chance to back out, got up and left, saying as he went: "All right, we've got a deal—I'll have Huo Zong go talk price with Huang."

?

After Li Xin left, Li Huanggua completely broke down!

Abandoning his usual composure, he shouted at the doorway: "Are you deaf to human speech? When did I say I'd sell Watsons to you? This is outright banditry!"

Li Xiao Er came downstairs, seeing his father shaking with rage, and asked: "Old man, what's wrong with you?"

Li Huanggua glared at Li Xiao Er, still remembering his performance that day.

"It's none of your business; stay home and reflect these days—when you figure it out, I'll let you go."

Li Xiao Er pursed his lips, turned and went back upstairs; if he didn't understand, he wouldn't have said that!

Time flew by, the year-end arrived, and Da Sha and the others finally settled those suppliers.

Meng Bo also brought an investigation report to Chong Guang Department Store.

"President Jing Bian, I haven't let you down—this is all the information on this matter."

After Meng Bo finished speaking, he handed the document to Jing Bian.

Jing Bian picked up the document, examined it carefully, and after finishing, angrily slammed it onto the desk.

"Isn't this outright banditry?"

Jing Bian pointed at the document and continued: "Li Xin wants to go into retail, so he wants me to hand over the supply chain?"

"I tell you, it's impossible!"

"Our Chong Guang Department Store isn't made of mud; the capital behind us isn't something Li Xin can oppose."

Meng Bo smiled and said, "President Jing Bian, I have no interest in this; I just want to get the balance."

Jing Bian, angry, signed a check for Meng Bo and threw it onto the desk.

Pointing at the door, they said, "You can go."

Meng Bo didn't care about his attitude, picked up the check, and left Lofty Light Department Store.

After Meng Bo left, Jing Bian made a phone call back to Little Sun.

Even if the other party couldn't see, Jing Bian stood ramrod straight.

"President Mitsui, our business in Gangdao is under threat; the other side wants us to hand over the supply chain."

"Idiot!"

Mitsui flew into a rage upon hearing this and asked, "Who is it?"

Jing Bian played a trick, not introducing Li Xin's specific situation, but instead said, "President, the other side is a hooligan who came ashore from a yakuza organization, relying on his underlings' power to threaten and lure me."

"But as a retainer of the Mitsui Family, I did not yield."

"I can't contend with this person; I can only ask the President for help!"

Mitsui's anger flared further, and Mitsui said to Jing Bian, "Make a phone call and have her send someone to resolve this; whoever dares to oppose the Mitsui Family will have to pay the price."

Jing Bian knew President Mitsui's temper well, so they wanted to vent their anger by relying on the Mitsu Family's power.
