"Brother Leung, you can go ahead and do your work if there's nothing else." Song Tianyao waved to Wu Jinliang, who closed the door and left.
Chu Xiaoxin, sitting in his chair, looked up at Golden-Tooth Lei, who was all smiles but didn't know how to start a conversation. His first words were. "So it was you, you good-for-nothing, who almost sent A-Yao's sister to Kowloon Walled City, right?"
Golden-Tooth Lei looked at Song Tianyao in astonishment, thinking to himself, "Could it be that this Secretary Song has taken a bribe and is refusing to do his job? Or worse, is he planning to continue pursuing that matter?"
"Young Master Shun was just joking with you." Song Tianyao smiled at Golden-Tooth Lei, who was practically sweating profusely from those words.
Chu Xiaoxin slammed his hand on the table and continued to shout at Golden-Tooth Lei with a serious expression, "I'm not joking! Do you think that because I owe A-Hung a favor, you can openly take advantage of my people? Believe me or not, I'll stop doing business with you and make A-Hung guard the pond for the rest of his life?"
Song Tianyao rolled his eyes. Luckily, Yan Hung had already gone to Sha Tau Kok. Otherwise, if he had heard his boss say that, he might have even contemplated suicide.
Chapter Fifty-Seven: I Need Your Help
From Song Tianyao's words just now, Golden-Tooth Lei had already realized that this Secretary Song had already taken care of the matter of Fuyixing entering the dock, and it wasn't him who was behind it. It was probably that Young Master Shun knew that his secretary's family was being harassed, so he reprimanded him.
He immediately understood and forced a smile, placing himself in a very humble position. He nodded repeatedly to Chu Xiaoxin, saying sincerely, "Young Master Shun is right. This whole affair was Lao Fu's fault from beginning to end. It was my fault. I hope you, Young Master Young Master Shun, will be magnanimous and give me a chance to apologize to Secretary Song. How about this, Young Master Young Master Shun, please act as a mediator and make the decision. Even if you ask me to sell my property right now to compensate Secretary Song, I will agree without hesitation."
If this guy, like Chan Ah-sap, had treated Chu Xiaoxin, the good-for-nothing young master of the Chu Family, with feigned respect but actually arrogant attitude, Chu Xiaoxin might have decided to hand over the dock business to another gang. However, Golden-Tooth Lei was nearly fifty years old, yet he was bowing and scraping before him. As the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face. The other party's attitude of lying on the ground and letting him beat him at will made Chu Xiaoxin feel embarrassed to continue making harsh remarks.
"Forget it, A-Yao put in a lot of good words for you and gave me that gold. A-Hung also helped me out. You don't need to sell your property. Just host a feast to apologize to A-Yao."
Chu Xiaoxin thought his words were quite good, but Song Tianyao couldn't help but sigh inwardly. His boss's mind was truly admirable. Even if Golden-Tooth Lei couldn't understand it now, he would probably figure it out in a few days.
Sure enough, when Golden-Tooth Lei heard Chu Xiaoxin's words, he looked at Song Tianyao. This Secretary Song hadn't embezzled the gold himself? Instead, he had handed it over to Young Master Shun? No wonder Young Master Shun was willing to let his gang take over the dock business in the end.
After the initial show of force, Chu Xiaoxin stopped making things difficult for Golden-Tooth Lei. He treated people like Golden-Tooth Lei, who belonged to the underworld, like his own driver or servant. In his view, such people were not highly educated and could only do low-level jobs. Even if they were Big Brother in the underworld, they were just doing manual labor and were not worth him showing them any special favor.
So after a few words, he had nothing to say to Golden-Tooth Lei. Fortunately, Song Tianyao was there and told some jokes to avoid an awkward silence. Taking the opportunity of telling jokes, he also pointed out that Golden-Tooth Lei had personally brought over a lot of gifts, so Golden-Tooth Lei immediately stood up and put the gifts on the table.
The gifts Golden-Tooth Lei brought this time were mostly dried goods and tonics that Chu Xiaoxin looked down on, such as bird's nest, abalone, shark fin, sea dog penis, seahorse, and sea turtle. In the eyes of others, these were considered precious gifts, but for Chu Xiaoxin, a rich kid who was born wanting to rinse his mouth with bird's nest, eat abalone as snacks, and use shark fin as vermicelli, they were shabby goods that were not presentable.
Fortunately, Golden-Tooth Lei must have known about Chu Xiaoxin's hobbies, so in addition to the gifts he brought, Golden-Tooth Lei also took out a key from his pocket and placed it on the table in front of Chu Xiaoxin.
"Giving away property?" Chu Xiaoxin glanced at the key on the table and asked Golden-Tooth Lei curiously.
Golden-Tooth Lei grinned. "Young Master Shun, you're joking. I'm not qualified to give you property. It's just a tenement building in Tong Sai. Although the house is a bit shabby, Fuyixing and I have put our sincerity into it. There are several girls selected from Yau Tsim Mong in Kowloon City living there. They are all charming and know how to serve people..."
Before Golden-Tooth Lei could finish speaking, Chu Xiaoxin tossed the key to Song Tianyao, saying, "Don't complain that your boss treats you badly. You can't even buy a woman a day out with a single gold bar. Perfect, here's the key. Go sleep with those women in Tong Sai. Kowloon City, the women of Kowloon City..."
Fortunately, he saw Song Tianyao's look before he finished speaking, Chu Xiaoxin swallowed back the last sentence, "Are the women in Kowloon City even edible?" Otherwise, he would have lost all face for Golden-Tooth Lei. No matter how humble he was, after all, the man had carefully chosen the woman, and Chu Xiaoxin couldn't say such a thing, neither morally nor logically.
"Brother Lei, it seems you'll have to put in a little more effort. Don't you know how devoted Young Master Shun is? His heart is completely set on Miss Chen Judy from Lichi Garden. Miss Chen Judy the leader of the Young Masters' Club. If she finds out you're secretly Young Master Shun women, aren't you afraid she'll try to take advantage of you and punish you? But I don't care. You can send them a few more times and let my boss give me a break." Song Tianyao smiled, covering up for Chu Xiaoxin with just a few words.
Knowing that Chu Xiaoxin enjoyed brothels, Golden-Tooth Lei hadn't slept well the night before. He personally selected six attractive women from various Brothels and wine shops in Fuyixing and sent them to Tong Sai's residence. However, Chu Xiaoxin didn't even bother to meet them, tossing the keys to Song Tianyao instead. So, Golden-Tooth Lei was indeed very uncomfortable just now. But a few words from Song Tianyao made him realize that it wasn't a problem with him sending women, but rather that Chu Xiaoxin was currently patronizing singing girls at the Lichi Garden.
"Young Master Shun is so infatuated, then consider this key my apology to Secretary Song. Young Master Young Master Shun beautiful woman admiring him, and Secretary Song should also have someone to serve him." Golden-Tooth Lei knew how to handle people; once he gave the key away, he didn't intend to take it back. If Chu Xiaoxin didn't accept it, he wouldn't mind giving it to Song Tianyao; what he feared most was not being able to give it away at all.
