Chapter 2229

"Go to the mainland?"

Ye Chen looked at Liu Manqiong with some surprise and asked: "Aren't you reluctant to leave Hong Kong?"

Liu Manqiong said a bit unnaturally: "That was before... because I was still in school, so I didn't think about leaving Hong Kong. But if I consider employment, the development space outside of Hong Kong will be larger."

Ye Chen nodded slightly and said seriously: "If Miss Manqiong is indeed interested in the mainland, you can go and take a look after graduation. Walk around first, then choose a city you like and try to develop there. After all, you have a high degree and a good family background. No matter where you choose, it should be very easy."

Liu Manqiong hummed, wanting to ask Ye Chen which city he was in, but when the words reached her lips, she couldn't ask them.

At this time, the rain in Hong Kong became even heavier.

Liu Manqiong's phone suddenly rang, and she received a push notification.

She looked down at her phone and muttered: "The meteorological department says there will be a rainstorm tonight."

"A rainstorm..." Ye Chen smiled slightly: "It seems that those hundred or so Hongmen disciples will have to board the ship in the rain tonight."

Meanwhile, at the Wave Club.

More than a hundred Hongmen disciples, under the escort of Wanlong Palace soldiers, left the bar one after another and headed to the port.

The construction of the Wanlong Palace's new base required a large number of low-level laborers, so these young and strong gangsters became the best choice at the moment.

Moreover, for the Wanlong Palace, such laborers were not enough to fill the gaps between their teeth even with three or five hundred, so naturally, the more the better.

Watching his underlings being escorted away, Hong Wushan didn't feel much sadness; instead, a strong sense of relief welled up in him.

He sighed in his heart: "Never dreamed that the guy surnamed Ye would have such a big background... Fortunately, I survived. Not only do I not have to go to Syria to do hard labor, but I can also continue to stay in Hongmen as the boss... I must be low-key, low-key, and low-key in the future. I must never make similar mistakes again, and I must never let that guy surnamed Ye have any opinion of me..."

Thinking of this, he immediately looked at Zhong Yunqiu and said coldly: "Zhong, I give you until tomorrow night to transfer the one billion US dollars to my account. Otherwise, I will never spare you!"

Zhong Yunqiu said with a mournful face: "Godfather... don't you trust me yet? Since I promised, I will definitely fulfill it..."

Hong Wushan said coldly: "I don't dare to be your godfather, Zhong Yunqiu! From now on, the god-parent relationship between you and me ends here. Don't mention it again!"

Zhong Yunqiu hurriedly said: "Godfather, I didn't offend you, Godfather. I didn't want things to develop like this today. Please don't be angry with me. After all, I'm the one who's suffering the most."

Hong Wushan said with a dark face: "Damn it, I'm afraid you'll jinx me!"

After saying that, Hong Wushan added: "From tomorrow on, apart from raising funds for the Wanlong Palace, you and I should not have any contact. I won't ask you for another cent. I've finally figured it out now. Money or whatever, nothing is more important than living well. So you'd better not let me see you again in the future."

Zhong Yunqiu hurriedly said: "Godfather, you and I have shared hardships today, why do you have to fall out with me..."

Hong Wushan blurted out: "I'm different from you! I'm now the fundraising manager for the Wanlong Palace! As long as I don't cause trouble, Mr. Ye and the Wanlong Palace will cover me! You're just a jinx, stay as far away from me as possible in the future!"

Zhong Yunqiu was stunned. He wanted to say something, but swallowed the words when they reached his lips.

His previous attitude toward Hong Wushan was exactly like a scumbag who wanted to kick the woman away after playing with her.

It's just that he had never found a reason or excuse for a peaceful breakup, and had even been racking his brains trying to get the woman to speak first.

But he didn't expect that when the woman really spoke of breaking up, he would feel so uncomfortable in his heart.

If he lost his relationship with Hong Wushan, he would have no backer in Hong Kong in the future. Moreover, the two of them could be considered to have shared hardships. Zhong Yunqiu had already swallowed the loss of ten billion US dollars over ten years, so looking at Hong Wushan now, he didn't feel that his previous behavior of asking for money was excessive at all. On the contrary, he felt that the money he asked for, compared to Ye Chen, could be considered a cosmic-level philanthropist.

Therefore, he actually hoped to huddle together for warmth with Hong Wushan during this difficult time.

But he didn't expect that Hong Wushan would avoid him like the plague.

Zhong Yunqiu had no choice but to sigh deeply, feeling extremely emotional in his heart.

At this time, Hong Wushan beside him seemed to be very disgusted with him and blurted out: "There's nothing for you to do here anymore, why haven't you rolled away yet? Do you have to stand here and be an eyesore?"

Zhong Yunqiu sighed, looked at Lu Haotian, and asked respectfully: "Excuse me, can I go now..."

Lu Haotian threw Zhong Zitao, whom he was carrying on his shoulder, in front of him and said coldly: "Take your son away."

Zhong Yunqiu looked at Zhong Zitao with disgust, his anger rising from his heart.
