Chapter 58

Li Xin was very satisfied with this lunch, especially the aged vinegar spinach peanuts, which is his favorite; no matter what wine he drinks, it pairs well.

Qiuti has said several times, you drink red wine, you always pair it with aged vinegar spinach peanuts, is that appropriate?

Li Xin didn't even bother with her; what does she know?

If one day the position of Gangdao's richest person is given to him, he would be drinking brandy paired with aged vinegar spinach peanuts, and others would also say: Li Sheng has taste!

Wearing a T-shirt and beach shorts to attend a banquet, others would also compliment him, Li Sheng is carefree and unconstrained.

Looks familiar, right?

In his previous life he also did this, there's no way around it, gotta make a living!

Not embarrassing!

As long as he can earn money to support the family by his own abilities, Li Xin considers him a real man, even if it's scavenging scrap.

In this life he's not lacking money, but his eating habits can't be changed, so down-to-earth.

With this down-to-earth grounding, he won't float up to heaven; Mother Earth won't allow it.

"Root" not lost, everything else doesn't matter!

Little Li now has the confidence and capital to do as he pleases.

As for how others view it?

Love it however they look, just look.

He doesn't care!

The two finished eating, got in the car and went straight to Jiang Tian Sheng's villa.

Hmm, today Fang Ting went swimming again!

White, big, gone.

Eating fruit platter, drinking red wine, chatting aimlessly about everything, when he said: three days later, the merit monument ribbon-cutting ceremony, do you have time to go? Jiang Tian Sheng's reaction was unexpectedly big.

"A Xin, you must have time; if you have time you must go, if you don't have time you still must go; this cannot be taken lightly; I'll go buy suitable attire shortly."

After saying that, he stood up to leave, but turned back and asked: "Do you want to come along?"

Li Xin turned and left, heading straight back to the Tung Choi Wan office.

This place has become his regular base; returning to Sai Kung is for relaxation.

Returning to the office, he opened the folder on the desk, glanced at it seeing no problem, then signed his name and had Jian Guo send it to Jimi.

Jimi works downstairs; this three-story building has become the brokerage company's office.

The first floor is still a shop, the second floor became an office, and several department heads of the brokerage company are here.

It's almost too cramped; expansion too fast, human resources surged, leading to crowded offices.

Jimi told him before, they need a larger office space, and he gave a reply.

This kid lacks perseverance; it's almost 1983 already, soon he'll have his own office building, just a few months away?

……

Ao Island, Pu Jing Duchang.

Chen Yaoxing sank his face, looking at the five people in the room, holding back anger he asked: "Chen Haonan, you want to die dragging me along? You don't even want to pay the 20% protection fee? From now on each pays his own; our gambling hall's share, I'll pay it myself, no need for you to handle it."

Seeing Chen Yaoxing storm off angrily, the timid Baopi worriedly said: "Brother Nan, this matter has offended Chen Yaoxing; will he go to Immortal Trust to file a complaint?"

"Damn, what's there to fear? We're on Ao Island now, anyway we can't go back; what can he do to us? The Tung Choi Wan turf has been taken by Luo Tianhong; what more does he want? Exterminate us?"

The pheasant said indignantly.

These people, when they filmed movies before, kept shouting "Brother Xin"; after learning that Tianhong became the Tung Choi Wan hall's leader, their dissatisfaction grew ever larger.

Datian Er also dissatisfiedly said: "The position of Tung Choi Wan hall leader originally belonged to Brother Nan; what gives Luo Tianhong the right to sit there?"

"Just because there's a second-route marshal big brother, can he seize someone else's position? Is there any rule left?"

Chen Haonan also felt aggrieved; originally, coming to Ao Island to manage the gambling hall, he was still quite happy.

Not two days later, hearing that Luo Tianhong became the Tung Choi Wan leader, he couldn't take it; shouldn't that position be his?

Thus, regarding the few people calling Li Xin by his nickname, he bears no blame; to give Chen Yaoxing some trouble, this month-end, he didn't pay the protection fee owed to the local triad.

He simply wanted to use this to express his dissatisfaction.

As for paying protection fees to the local triad, previously Li Xin and the triad chief Jiang Tian Sheng didn't care; being the same triad, splitting into two payments is laughable.

Therefore, before Chen Yaoxing came to Ao Island, Li Xin told him to hand over their gambling hall's protection fee to the triad's Ao Island representative and pay it together.

Unexpectedly, Chen Haonan had such gall; to vent his anger, he dared to use the triad's business as a tool for venting—he's really bold!

This matter, if blown up it's big; if Li Xin wants to pursue it, it's a big deal; if downplayed it's small, just a few words from someone and it's over—it all depends on Li Xin's attitude.

These guys have simply suffered too little loss!

What kind of person is Li Xin?

Anyone who hits him can make Big Brother B compensate with a shop; if this incident causes trouble, these people's path in the triad is basically ruined; in this lifetime wanting to rise? Impossible!

The Tung Choi Wan Five Tigers also didn't take this to heart; what's the big deal if the protection fee is late a few days? A few guys linked arms and went out to be carefree; we'll talk about it later.

Chen Yaoxing sank his face, returned to the gambling hall he manages; his three childhood friends and little brothers, Ah Cong, Ah Hong, and Big Brother, seeing the boss's bad expression, all gathered around.

Big Brother, impulsive by nature, directly asked: "Boss, what does that loser Chen Haonan say?"

The remaining two also looked at Chen Yaoxing, wanting to know the answer.

Chen Yaoxing's anger not yet subsided, he opened his mouth and cursed: "That bastard doesn't treat the triad's business as anything, he uses the triad's business to vent his anger; this time nothing happened, good; if things blow up, he'll just wait for the triad to hunt him down!"

"The gambling hall he manages belongs to the triad's industry, not anyone's personal property; if something happens, no leader will let him off."

Ah Cong, on the other hand, is open-minded, enjoying the spectacle without fear of big trouble: "Boss, you say if Sang Bi causes a ruckus in his gambling hall, making the triad lose money, would the triad throw him into the sea?"

Chen Yaoxing shook his head: "His boss is Big Brother B; even if he stepped down, the triad would still give him some face, not going as far as to do anything to Chen Haonan, at most kicking him out of the triad."

Big Brother's eyes shifted, he leaned close to Chen Yaoxing's ear and whispered: "Boss, you say if our gambling hall gets messed up because of this, would the Old Top not throw Chen Haonan and them into the sea?"

Chen Yaoxing, so angry his eyes popped, gave Big Brother a slap, then kicked him to the ground, shouting angrily: "Are you addle-brained? You dare think that? If Big Brother finds out, how many lives do you have? How many lives does your family have?"

If you want to die, go die; don't drag others down!

Do you even know what you're saying? You still want to use Big Brother's hand to deal with Chen Haonan?

Is Chen Haonan worthy? Are you worthy?

If you still have this idea, I'll kill you first; otherwise we'll all die!.

A Cong and A Hong, their looks at Big Brother were off.

A Hong walked up to him, kicked him in the belly with one kick, making Big Brother clutch his stomach and roll all over the ground.

A Hong crouched beside him and said, 'Big Brother, we three can have food to eat all thanks to Big Brother Xing Ge, given for the sake of our childhood friendship; if anything happens to Big Brother because of you, we brothers will have nothing to do.'

Chen Yaoxing looked at Big Brother, his eyes full of disappointment.
