Chapter 64

A convoy of twenty-odd vehicles pulled up to the entrance of Pu Jing Duchang; Jianguo was the first to get out and open the boss's car door, leaving the attendants beside stunned!

Is this… not letting me earn a tip?

After getting out of the car, Li Xin pointed at A Xing with his finger, then pointed at the security guards, turned around, and followed Liu Bo inside the casino with Jianguo and his two brothers.

Even the guests at the casino entrance today got an eyeful—who is the young man leading the group?

What a grand spectacle!

Liu Bo led the way, with twenty-odd bodyguards following him; those guards looked like they were not to be trifled with.

Nobody shorter than 1.75 meters; they were all very muscular, their arm swings much smaller than a normal person's, their gait unlike ordinary folks—like soldiers.

Really intimidating!

Chen Yaoxing and Hua She had met a few times; he grabbed his arm, turned to those big brothers' bodyguards and said, "Brothers, follow me; I'll arrange for you to wash up first, then we'll eat, to make things easier."

Having said that, he gave A Hong a glance; A Hong, understanding, led the way for everyone, and the group followed him into the casino.

Following Liu Bo to He Xin's office, this old coot pretended to be examining documents!

Until Liu Bo spoke: "Sir, Councilor Li of Gangdao has arrived."

【13> He Xin only then rubbed his eyes, saying "Sorry for the delay," without making any move to get up.

He Xin only then rubbed his eyes, saying "Sorry for the delay," without making any move to get up.

Li Xin didn't indulge him either, sitting directly opposite; Jianguo and his brother stood at the doorway, shoving the two guards inside to the side.

Those two guards gave them a dirty look, then after looking, still found a spot to stand.

Li Xin had just placed a cigarette to his lips when Jianguo quickly stepped to his side and lit it for him.

Whether to speak or not, Jianguo is becoming more perceptive; a single gesture from Li Xin and he knows what to do.

I'll raise his wages by a thousand when we get back!

Jianjun goes back—this month they dock his bonus by five hundred, still acting as the older brother! He has no perceptiveness at all.

Li Xin took a puff of smoke, exhaled, and said loudly: "No problem, Mr. He, I understand you're busy with important affairs; I don't know why you summoned this junior—what guidance do you have?."

He Xin didn't mind Li Xin's attitude, smiling as he spoke: "I don't dare call it guidance; I just wanted to meet you, the most outstanding youngster in Gangdao today—seeing you now, your reputation is indeed well-deserved!."

Well-deserved reputation?

In Gangdao, does he have a good reputation?

Everyone calls him a ghost that makes even ghosts blush, a leech—only the folks from Xi Gong have discerning eyes, saying A Xin is a good person!

Unreasonable!

This old coot is saying he's not only young in age but also arrogant and overbearing, lacking manners!

With Li Xin's explosive temper, even someone like Sixth Uncle wouldn't give him face—what makes you, running a big gambling stall, think you're special?

No matter what, I have to reply with a couple of sentences; Li Xin kept his composure, smiling humbly: "It's all thanks to the kindness of our jianghu friends, A Xin feels ashamed! Nothing like Mr. He, who commands the winds and clouds on Ao Island, covering the sky with one hand."

Even if you go out with your face, you're just a gold envoy; even the Ao Island governor doesn't have as much face as Mr. He!

I'm just a junior; I still have a lot to learn from Mr. He in order to improve, right? You'd agree, wouldn't you?

He Xin was stunned after hearing those words.

While saying he felt ashamed, his face showed pride, and he even mocked him for being old-fashioned and disrespectful.

He Xin laughed, laughing louder and louder; it had been many years since a youngster dared to speak to him like that.

This kid is truly brave!

However, his speech was flawless; even when mocking him for being self-centered and leaving no room for others, it was expressed in a fresh and unconventional way!

And he even covers the sky with one hand, commanding the winds and clouds!

Saying that at this moment is absolutely not a good thing, yet you still want to learn from him—really shows some guts.

This youngster!

The laughter gradually faded, his face grew dark, and he warned in a low voice: "Young man, you can be proud, you can be arrogant, but don't be too full of vigor! It won't do you any good!"

As for He Xin's face-changing tricks, Li Xin didn't take them seriously—below mortals I'm invincible, above mortals I can trade one-for-one; do you really want to throw harsh words at me?

Although he tries to forget about force, knowing he has a hammer in hand, seeing a nail makes him want to smash it, and that would lead to self-destruction.

Therefore he never relies on force to assert himself; if a matter can be settled with wit, he never resorts to violence.

If it's not needed, it's not needed, but I, Blade King Xin, am not unable to use it!

You're quite brave, old timer….

His expression unchanged, not even raising the corners of his eyes, he stared at He Xin and spoke wildly: "Mr. He, I, A Xin, am not arrogant, nor proud, but… I'm young; if young people aren't full of vigor, what are they called?"

In the office side room, He Qiong, who was tiptoeing to eavesdrop, was stunned upon hearing this.

Is Li Xin really this arrogant? To dare speak to her father like that—does he have a death wish?

Does he even know who he's up against?

One of the world's four major gambling cities—the boss of Ao Island Casino.

Gambling King—He Xin!

As long as her father lets a little word slip, he won't even see a boat back to Gangdao.

How dare he do that!

Just then, he heard his father say: "Young people full of vigor—exactly, quite right. When I was young, if I hadn't been full of vigor, there wouldn't be today's Gambling King He Xin; I might have died in Vietnam, facing pirates and wokou."

I never backed down; from fleeing to becoming the gambling king, I, He Xin, have been full of vigor—without it, I wouldn't be who I am today.

"Li Xin, I admire you, I really admire you—come help me, how about that?"

Facing the old timer's olive branch, Li Xin couldn't care less—holding a VCD, could he even look down on your two handfuls of coins? Who does he look down on?

"Thank you, Mr. He, for your kindness; I'm not used to stealing others' livelihood, I only look at my own bowl—even if the ingredients in your bowl aren't as good, I still feel my own rice smells better."

He Xin grew even happier upon hearing that—what a strong-willed youngster.

His opinion of him rose considerably; he wasn't afraid that this kid had a big appetite—could he possibly have an appetite as big as He Xin's?

He Xin changed his tone, speaking earnestly: "A Xin, I truly admire you—do you really have no intention of coming to my place? Give it serious thought."

Li Xin had already noticed a change in He Xin's way of addressing him—this was genuine approval, not a test.

But he still didn't nod, refusing bluntly: "Mr. He, I appreciate your kindness and will remember your goodwill, but… I have my own career, and it's developing well."

Perhaps in a few years, Mr. He will see me in Gangdao's financial magazine—not arrogance, but confidence.

He Xin secretly thought it a pity—this kid is real talent, his speech flawless, neither humble nor arrogant; though he seems overbearing, he measures his words perfectly.

It's impossible to take offense at him!

Financial? It looks like he really takes a liking to that intermediary company!

After weighing his tone, he spoke: "A gentleman does not force others to do what is difficult; my doors here are always open for you. So, is there any possibility of cooperation?"

Li Xin knew what kind of cooperation he was referring to—this was also his purpose for coming to Ao Island.

"Mr. He, you mean the intermediary company?"

He Xin sat in the boss's chair, clapping vigorously: "Talking with smart people is easy—how about it? Any chance of cooperation?"
