Chapter 63

After Big Brother B left, Li Xin received a name card from He Xin, the gambling king of Ao Island.

Holding this gold-embossed name card in his hand, his eyes fell on the He character, feeling a bit happy.

Haha, old… I'm here!

He directly called Huashe over, and the security company also summoned twenty people to accompany him.

This trip is a visit; bringing Huashe along is just right—if we were going to fight, we'd definitely bring Tianhong and Li Zhengren.

As for those twenty security personnel, they're just tools—used to show off muscles outwardly; I want both face and substance.

In a fight, they could kill those gangsters; imposing, with neat formations, uniform actions, and murderous looks.

Their deterrent force is far stronger than those garishly dressed gangsters!

In the jianghu, you can skip the pomp, but… you can't have none.

These jianghu folks don't care much about your inner depth; they just look at your outward strength.

He directly arranged for Huashe to call A Xin; the central idea was just one meaning: 'face'.

After Chen Yaoxing hung up, he hurried to make arrangements—Big Brother had dumped him on Ao Island and never bothered with this side, handing full authority to him; what a trust!

This time Big Brother is visiting Ao Island; he absolutely cannot lose face.

……

Ao Island

Not much else, just a lot of nicknames.

In Gangdao movies, when you hear those called 'horse trade' something, they all refer to people or forces from this place.

Located in the southern part of the old home, it lies on the west bank of the Pearl River Delta; to the north it borders Expanding North of Zhu City in Guang Province, to the west it faces Bay Child and Horizontal Lute of Zhu City.

To the east lies Gangdao, with Shen Cheng across the sea; they are 60 kilometers apart, to the south it borders the old home's South Sea. Comprising the Ao Island peninsula, Dangzai and Luwan islands, its land area exceeds 30 square kilometers.

In the mid-15th century, the Portuguese gained residency rights over Ao Island; at the end of the 18th century, Portugal formally took possession of Ao Island through diplomatic procedures.

Ao Island is an international free port and a world tourism and leisure hub, one of the regions with the highest population density globally, and also one of the world's four major gambling cities.

Light industry, tourism, hospitality, and entertainment venues keep Ao Island ever‑prosperous.

This ever‑prosperous place can also be called 'Ao Island Street'; it's really tiny, not even as big as a town in the old home, but its economy ranks among the top in global regional rankings.

Ao Island Dock

Li Xin wore a stand-collar Zhongshan suit, sunglasses, and had the flower‑

The little fatty said he was here to collect materials; whether it's true or not, Li Xin doesn't care, as long as nobody gets lost.

The security detail leaders are Jianjun brother and Guojun brother; altogether a team of twenty-five people appeared at the dock exit.

Chen Yaoxing had already been waiting at the exit; seeing Big Brother arrive, he hurriedly brought A Hong forward.

"Big Brother, welcome to Ao Island."

Li Xin looked at A Xing, who gave him a slight bow.

He came up to him, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "A Xing, not bad, you handled things very thoroughly, I'm very satisfied, but... from now on, broaden your vision, think bigger, don't just focus on the trivial little things—do you understand what I mean?"

Chen Yaoxing broke out in a sweat after hearing that!

A few days earlier, after hearing those few words from Brother Tianhong, he knew Big Brother was dissatisfied with his self-serving approach.

After leaving Gangdao, he and Chen Haonan could fight however they wanted with no problem; the issue was that he didn't even manage the sign of Thus line: Prosperity.

Chen Yaoxing didn't dare to defend himself, directly admitting his mistake: "Big Brother, this time I was wrong; from now on, you just watch my performance—if I still do poorly, I'll go back to driving for you, and I'll always have something to eat."

Smart person!

No excuses, no quibbling, and he still expressed his loyalty—what talent!

Li Xin paid no attention; A Hong, who was beside A Xing, took the lead and walked toward the motorcade.

There's a saying in the jianghu: your subordinate's subordinate is not your subordinate.

This is important; otherwise you'll regret it.

What they eat is the food given by Chen Yaoxing, not Li Xin's—that's a fundamental difference.

Although they are all Li Xin's properties, but... once they're handed over to the subordinate, he has autonomy.

Just as he arrived beside the motorcade, he saw an elderly man with neatly combed hair, wearing a full tailcoat, waiting for him.

He first extended both hands and said politely: "Liu Bo, thank you for taking the trouble to come and greet me, your junior—my apologies, my apologies!"

As soon as his words fell, Li Xin grasped Liu Bo's right hand with both hands.

He Xin, that old coot, also gave him great face; Liu Bo's status in the He Family is higher than those juniors—when he goes out, he represents He Xin, while the family's juniors can only represent themselves.

He Xin's core industry, the casino, is what Liu Bo helps manage; his position in the He Family needs no further explanation—everyone understands.

Liu Bo, smiling broadly, joked: "Councilor Li's arrival at Ao Island—Mr. He originally wanted to personally welcome you, but something came up and he couldn't get away, so he sent me, this little old man, to represent him; I hope Councilor Li won't take offense."

Just take it with a grain of salt; don't take it seriously—they're just being polite.

Who is He Xin?

In this place of Ao Island, his making salt may not necessarily be salty, but... making vinegar will definitely be sour; without his nod, wanting to accomplish anything in Ao Island is just a dream.

Of course, in Ao Island there is another even more formidable Mr. He, who is called the "Shadow Ao Governor".

Whatever the Ao Island governor's office can do, he does; whatever it cannot do, he also does—whether doable or not, he does it all. Clear enough?

This is the "Shadow Ao Governor".

Don't think that just because Li Xin has transmigrated... he still holds that Mr. He in great respect; this "Shadow Ao Governor" is truly "ferocious".

This is not an exaggeration; it's a fact.

Li Xin patted Liu Bo's hand back, showing a rare humble demeanor: "Liu Bo, from now on just call me "A Xin"—that's fine! Otherwise people might say I, A Xin, lack manners!"

Mr. He is a nobleman busy with important affairs—how could I dare to trouble him to make the trip to pick me, A Xin, up! Isn't this turning the world upside down?

As for Li Xin, he is especially tolerant toward the elderly, women, and children—but there's a precondition: don't get cocky, or else nobody will get any good outcomes.

In short, for these vulnerable groups—the old, weak, sick, and disabled—he provides preferential treatment; just don't embarrass yourself.

Bullying superiors but not inferiors!

Towards Liu Bo, Li Xin can respect the elderly, but wanting to respect He Xin as a worthy person is a bit difficult for him!

Besides, that old coot isn't worthy either; if it weren't for looking at him...! Li Xin didn't even bring it, you let me come, so I came?

Then wouldn't I be very lacking face?

Liu Bo gathered from these few sentences that this kid isn't very respectful towards the old master!

But his attitude towards him is surprisingly good.

How strange!

This is what the old people say, heroes must have quirks?

But he couldn't say those words out loud, so he quickly changed the topic: "A Xin, it's better to obey than to show respect; from now on I'll call you A Xin, let's get in the car, the old master is awaiting your grand arrival in the office!"

Look, He Xin that old coot is indeed fine; he didn't even come by motorcycle, and he already gave him a slap in the face.

He didn't even bother to catch it!

Good, Li Xin this guy again found himself an excuse.

Really shameless!!!.
