No, we can't let Huang Liu feel like he's broken free of his constraints and let himself go after coming to Hong Kong. If he lets himself go and then flies away completely, leaving us to take the blame, no, we have to make things happen for this guy.
"Brother Six, I'll take you to Sai Ying Pun to see the beautiful women of Hong Kong. I'll pick out dozens of them, book a suite, and keep you entertained," Song Tianyao said to Huang Liu, having made up his mind.
Huang Liu frowned and refused righteously, "I'm not a womanizer. Fourth Madam's distant niece is waiting for me to earn money so she can marry me. There's a woman who's thinking about me; how can I betray her?"
"Fourth Madam, "Song Tianyao was stunned for a moment before realizing that Huang Liu was referring to He Xian's fourth wife.
Then, all I could feel was a million grass mud horses galloping through my mind. The person sitting opposite me was a bandit, a ruthless bandit who killed without blinking an eye. Shouldn't bandits be lecherous and fond of drinking? This guy wasn't lecherous at all, and it seemed he was even prepared to remain celibate for his fiancée.
What a contradictory personality this bandit had! Why didn't he think that he should kill fewer people, stop causing trouble, and only then could he live a peaceful life and go home to marry?
"Brother Six, do you have any hobbies?" Unmoved by beauty, Song Tianyao simply asked Huang Liu directly.
"Practice boxing, practice shooting..."
Song Tianyao immediately perked up. "Boxing, then! I'll teach you boxing, and you can spar with martial arts masters from all the major martial arts schools in Hong Kong. I can't find a place for you to practice your marksmanship."
"I mean Western boxing, not fancy moves, but the kind where you earn bonuses at Macau boxing matches." Huang Liu shook his head, looking uninterested. "There aren't any boxing matches in Hong Kong, so many Hong Kong have to cross the sea to Macau to watch them."
"I was wrong, Brother Six. You're going to protect me, right? Just stay by my side." Hearing that the other party wanted to fight in underground boxing matches, Song Tianyao immediately changed his mind. "I might be staying at the factory for the next few days. If you don't mind being bored, you can stay at the factory too."
Since he couldn't shake him off, and this guy was restless, he decided to keep him by his side and keep an eye on him.
After breakfast, Song Tianyao drove Huang Liu back to the factory himself instead of letting Huang Liu drive. After introducing Huang Liu to Lou Fengyun, Sister Xiong, Fu Xinniang, and a few others, Song Tianyao returned to his office to help Oxfam draft the initial intentions and plans for the new organization. Huang Liu went to the courtyard to watch the master swindler Ning Zikun and Brother Xiong play chess.
It wasn't until nearly noon that Lou Fengyun quietly entered. She watched Song Tianyao scribbling on a piece of paper with Hong Kong dollars, remaining silent until Song Tianyao stopped writing and lit a cigarette. Only then did she softly speak:
"The first month's payment from the three department stores was transferred to Xianrong Company's account three days ago. There should have been Hong Kong dollars 990,000, but when I checked, there was only Hong Kong dollars 245,000 left."
"Forty-five thousand Hong Kong dollars were transferred to Shek Chi-yik's wife's account, and seven hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars were transferred to your, Wanqing's, Wanqing's parents, Scribe Hui, and several other people's accounts on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, as well as the accounts of several registered companies." Song Tianyao lit a cigarette and looked up at Lou Fengyun: "I originally wanted to tell you yesterday, but I didn't have time after being called to tea by Young Master Shun. From now on, there won't be much left in Xianrong Company's account each month, just enough to cover the necessary factory operating costs."
"Buy stocks?" Lou Fengyun looked at Song Tianyao with surprise. "I thought you would take advantage of the good business and open a second factory."
"Opening another factory won't cost too much money. We have enough in the account, and there's no rush. I know what I'm doing," Song Tianyao said to Lou Fengyun. "Could you rub my head for me? It hurts a lot right now."
Lou Fengyun gracefully walked behind Song Tianyao, gently massaging Song Tianyao forehead with her delicate hand. "Yesterday afternoon, when Scribe Hui was delivering vegetables, he followed the truck intending to see you. It seemed like something came up, and when he saw you weren't there, he hurriedly left. Miss Wanqing left just before you returned. She sat with me for a while, but when she saw you hadn't come back, she went home first. It seems you haven't had time to see her lately. I think she misses you a lot, and she said that Scribe Hui just visited her yesterday, wanting to join forces with her father in business."
"Hmm, she's cold on the outside but warm on the inside, not suited to doing things herself, her appearance..." Song Tianyao closed his eyes and thought about Meng Wanqing, feeling that he shouldn't mention Meng Wanqing's flaws in front of other women, even if they weren't flaws.
Meng Wanqing is a good choice; she's the perfect person to keep by your side as a companion. It's not like Lou Fengyun, who used to be Gambling den owner and has dealt with all sorts of ruthless and shrewd women. Even though she sang in Flower boat, she doesn't know how to smooth out her rough edges; at most, she wraps herself up with coldness.
Recently, Meng Wanqing has been helping her father with his tailoring business, while Song Tianyao has been accompanying the Foreign Girl to apply for loans, register companies, and meet with stockbrokers. He really hasn't had much time to spend with her.
After thinking for a moment, Song Tianyao realized what Meng Wanqing Lou Fengyun had just said. His eyes lit up, and he gently pulled his hand away from Lou Fengyun's, grabbed the phone on the table, and dialed the number of his Scribe Hui Tianming Company: "You damn Scribe Hui, what business are you doing contacting Wanqing's Dad for no reason?"
Chapter 255 Scribe Hui, the Big-Time Tycoon
Scribe Hui has been having a headache lately. The supply of food and vegetables to all military camps in Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and the New Territories is now handled by Tianming Company. In just a few months, Tianming Company has expanded its fleet of trucks from two to six, and its workforce from just him and Nine-Tattooed Dragon to forty people. The company has also rented two warehouses to store food and vegetables, one in Kowloon and one in Hong Kong Island.
From the beginning when Scribe Hui personally delivered vegetables to various military camps, to the point where he couldn't deliver the vegetables in time and could only place orders with vegetable farmers and grain shops, and now even the ordering is handled by a dedicated person, Scribe Hui now seems like an idle person, but in reality, he feels more tired every day than before when he personally carried vegetables on a shoulder pole to deliver them.
Nothing more than getting up every morning, first going to the two warehouses to see if the workers were supplying goods on time, and then taking a quick look around the various barracks to find out if the quartermasters of each barracks had any additional needs, such as special dishes for officers' birthday banquets, or some miscellaneous items needed by the families of soldiers.
