One sentence was enough to chill Song Tianyao's heart, and he didn't even know how to continue asking questions.
Damn it, playing chess here all day and then crossing the harbor from Hong Kong Island back to Kowloon to stay in a hotel at night? Is that guy really going to stay in a hotel? Won't he cause trouble? I was too careless!
"Brother Six, the Spring Festival is almost here. I think your father should have calmed down by now, waiting for you to come home so we can have a family reunion." Song Tianyao, without any boss-like aura, squatted down between the two of them, examining the pieces on the chessboard, and asked in a seemingly casual tone, "When are you returning to Macau?"
Huang Liu's tone was even more relaxed than Song Tianyao's. "Soon, soon. I've already booked the ferry tickets. I'll take the ferry back to Macau after I finish this game. I thought I'd be staying until New Year's Eve before going back, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."
"So soon?" Song Tianyao wanted to feign a desire to persuade the other person to stay, but upon hearing that this scoundrel was leaving today, Song Tianyao couldn't contain his joy and blurted out, "How about I drive you? That way we can get there faster."
The only person who could force Song Tianyao to abandon even basic emotional intelligence and leave no trace of hypocrisy was probably Huang Liu.
"No need, no need, General!" Huang Liu said, then suddenly took a heavy step forward with his cannon and shouted triumphantly, "Didn't I win because of you? Let's go!"
After saying that, Huang Liu stood up from the low stool, took out a piece of paper with a number written on it from his pocket, and handed it to Song Tianyao: "Mr. Song, not only Mr. He admires you, but I also like you very much. Your personality suits my taste. In Macau Street, very few people dare to mess with Foreign Devil. I didn't expect that in a place like Hong Kong, there would be such a warm-hearted person like you who would help those in need and stand up for the poor. I'll come to see you again when I have the chance. If you need my help, you can call this number."
"Brother Six, I... how about... how about I see you off?" Song Tianyao wanted to politely suggest that he have lunch with the other party to see him off, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.
Huang Liu and Song Tianyao smiled and said, "No need, I can walk by myself. Macau is so close to Hong Kong, you can just give me a call and I'll be there in an hour."
"Okay, I will definitely visit Mr. He after the Spring Festival to thank Mr. He, and I will treat Brother Six to drinks then." Song Tianyao couldn't help but wonder if he had gone too far. These past few days, Huang Liu had been with him, and he hadn't properly entertained him, only staying cooped up in the factory for two days.
Huang Liu walked casually toward the factory gate, then turned back after a few steps. "Uh, Mr. Song, I forgot something. I saw you working hard in your office, and Sister Yun said you hate being disturbed, so I secretly cut your office phone line, bought a new phone, and connected it to Mr. Ning's room. You've called a lot these past two days, and I've kept a record of it. Also, I've taken care of those gangsters for you. Wow, that was great! Don't worry, those guys won't have the face to bother you anymore. We've maintained a gentlemanly relationship, so let's meet again in Macau!"
After saying this, Huang Liu turned around and walked quickly towards the factory gate. In the blink of an eye, he slipped out of the factory gate. Song Tianyao turned back to look at the telephone line outside his office. Sure enough, there was only a lonely end of the line hanging on the eaves, swaying in the wind. It had been connected to another line and led to the dormitory where the big swindler Ning Zikun lived.
And the last sentence Huang Liu said, I will settle all those charlatans for you, wow, it's so enjoyable.
God knows how much trouble this bastard stirred up in just two nights!
"I'll give you that old bastard stuff! You son of a bitch!" Song Tianyao froze for a few seconds before quickly chasing after him out of the factory gate. There was no sign of Huang Liu outside. Leaning against the gate, Song Tianyao weakly cursed, "No wonder he told me he'd booked a ferry ticket back to Macau when he saw me leave! I hope your Dad shoots you as soon as you get off the ship in Macau! You son of a bitch! A gentleman's friendship? Waiting to meet again? Meet you my ass!"
Chapter 257 Second Young Master Chu Unleashes His Furious
"Good luck."
"Thank you, boss. I wish you great success in your business."
"May all your wishes come true."
Thank you, boss.
"Take the red envelope and buy two more papayas to take home and replenish your energy. You're even flatter than me. I'll get you when I come back from vacation... Good luck!"
"Thank you, boss."
On the morning of the 28th, Song Tianyao was yawning when Lou Fengyun woke him up. She took the Red packet envelopes she had prepared and began distributing them to the workers who had finished cleaning the factory and were preparing to go home for the Spring Festival. This was a rare opportunity for Song Tianyao to interact with the female factory workers face-to-face. How could he, a ruthless factory owner, not take advantage of such a beautiful woman? So, as soon as Song Tianyao saw a flat-chested pretty woman come to receive her Red packet, he was about to say something to take advantage of her. However, before he could finish speaking, Lou Fengyun gently kicked him with the tip of her shoe, forcing him to swallow his words.
Each worker received the same Red packet containing Hong Kong dollars $20. Based on these female workers' monthly salary of HK$120, HK$20 was equivalent to five extra days' wages. If they used it sparingly, it would even be enough for their expenses during the Spring Festival.
The couple, Sister Xiong and her husband, brought out the New Year's snacks they had made overnight, such as fried glutinous rice balls, dumplings, and radish cakes. Each female worker could take a portion home to bring to her elderly relatives and children, sharing in the festive joy.
After seeing the workers off, Song Tianyao instructed Brother Xiong, Sister Xiong, and the lone conman Ning Zikun to take good care of the factory for the next few days. He then called Meng Wanqing and then his Scribe Hui, telling him to bring Jiuwenlong Nine-Tattooed Dragon Sister Fen daughter to the tenement building on Tai Wo Street to Spring Festival together. Only then did Song Tianyao leave the factory in North Point with Lou Fengyun, Fu Xinniang, Shu Yan, Shi Yin a few others.
He sent the four women to Sincere Department Store, and had Lou Fengyun, who had worked so hard for so long, take the three girls to the department store to buy clothes and New Year's goods. Song Tianyao himself went to Likang Company to see Chu Xiaoxin.
Two days ago, three newspapers in Macau broke the news without warning with the headline "Shocking! Welfare Homes Under the Hong Kong Po Leung Kuk Are Actually Hong Kong's Black Market for Blood!" Although it was published in Chinese newspapers in Macau, because it involved the Po Leung Kuk and because Macau and Hong Kong are very close, the news quickly spread in Hong Kong.
