Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings.

Chapter 951 0939 [Ten Thousand Families Live in Buddhahood]

Du Yongxiao didn't expect that there would be a follow-up to this blind date.

To be honest, he deliberately took a taxi to send Guan Jiahui home, and he heard all the ridicule from the neighbors around him.

In Du Yongxiao's opinion, this blind date would definitely end in failure. After all, who would be interested in a poor boy who couldn't even afford a private car when he lived in such a celebrity community?
But Du Yongxiao underestimated Guan Jiahui's determination and the "wisdom" of Guan Yueshan and Zhang Bingqian.

They were indeed very dissatisfied with Du Yongxiao, but they had to pay for their "recklessness" this time. Who told them to arrange this blind date show without checking Li Cuilian's background?

Who would have thought that Guan Jiahui was so infatuated with that poor boy Du Yongxiao? Now if you want to help her "set things right", you have to take drastic measures.

And this time the drastic measure is tomorrow’s “Celebrity Charity Fundraising” event.

This kind of event is held several times every year, either to raise funds for orphans, for the elderly and widows, or for mainland compatriots who have fled here.

In short, this kind of activity is a typical vanity fair, where rich people seek fame, big stars seek profit, and everyone gets what they need.

Du Yongxiao learned about this from his mother Li Cuilian.

Li Cuilian happily told Du Yongxiao that Guan Jiahui was very satisfied with him and thought he was a nice person, so she wanted to invite him and Guan Jiahui to participate in the celebrity charity fundraising event tonight. She also said that it was a pity that she had too many things to do and could not accompany Du Yongxiao, otherwise she would bring more money with her to give Du Yongxiao enough face.

Du Yongxiao looked at his mother's excited expression and couldn't bear to expose the real intention of Guan Shanyue and his wife. He guessed that they probably wanted to make him look bad on the spot and then voluntarily withdraw from pursuing Guan Jiahui.

The best strategy is to defeat the enemy without fighting.

Du Yongxiao smiled. He didn't expect to meet such a couple who understood military tactics.

Guan Jiahui also called Du Yongxiao.

She felt that this was a rare opportunity. For young people like Du Yongxiao, who were in the start-up phase, if they could meet some upper-class people at such an event, it might help their future career.

In addition, Guan Jiahui also wanted to see how Du Yongxiao would behave in such an occasion and whether he would be as unbearable as his parents said.

It is true that being handsome is important, but if one cannot cope with even the most basic situations, he is just a useless piece of paper.

Du Yongxiao held the phone in silence and did not directly answer Guan Jiahui.

Guan Jiahui had selfish motives and did not dare to urge Du Yongxiao to make a decision quickly. She just said, "If you don't want to, you can refuse. At worst, I can go with my parents. If I get drunk and no one accompanies me, and someone takes advantage of me and no one saves me, it's so pitiful..."

Du Yongxiao smiled slightly, "How can I feel at ease when you are so pitiful? Wait until I finish my work and go over tonight."

"Really? Don't make things difficult for yourself. I'm not forcing you." Guan Jiahui said cleverly.

Du Yongxiao smiled again, "No, I did it voluntarily. See you tonight!"

"Okay, see you tonight." Guan Jiahui hung up the phone and jumped directly onto the bed, hugging the pillow: "I'm so happy!"

Du Yongxiao hung up the phone and looked at Yan Xiong who was eavesdropping: "Did you hear it clearly? Do you have any questions?"

Yan Xiong hurriedly stepped forward and acted like a lackey: "Godfather, do you really want to participate in tonight's celebrity fundraising event? You have always disdained such small events, even I am disdainful of participating!"

Yan Xiong was not lying. In the eyes of a big shot like Du Yongxiao, such so-called celebrity activities were not worth mentioning at all.

Even Yan Xiong looked down on them, thinking that these people were just seeking fame and reputation by casually donating some money and making some news in the newspapers, which was nothing new.

In addition, each fundraising activity could only raise three to five million at most. If something really happened, Du Yongxiao would let the Du Group represent him and donate tens of millions with just a wave of his hand.

For example, three months ago, a flood occurred in Guangdong, mainland China, and people were displaced. Yan Xiong, on behalf of the Du Group, donated 15 million yuan to the Guangdong government there, as well as a large amount of medical supplies.

It can be said that every time the Du Group does charity, it is always at the forefront and donates the most.

This is also the principle that Du Yongxiao follows in running the Du Group. He believes that one should be conscientious in doing business and spend more money on charity, taking from the people and giving back to the people.

It is precisely because of this that the Du Group now enjoys a high reputation not only in Hong Kong but also in the world, and is praised by international humanitarianism as "the most conscientious and outstanding enterprise."

In the eyes of those evil people, Du Yongxiao is a "bloody butcher" who kills people without hesitation, but in the eyes of ordinary people, he is a "Buddha who saves countless families."

"Help me check who organized this event?"

"Yes!"

Yan Xiong hurried to inquire and soon came back and said, "I found out clearly that it was the Li family!"

"Huh?" Du Yongxiao sat behind the desk and took out a cigarette.

Yan Xiong stepped forward to help him light it, "Godfather, it looks like the Li family wants to make trouble again..."

Du Yongxiao smiled: "As for whitewashing, the Li family used to sell pornographic films, and now they are doing some fundraising, and they want to whitewash themselves. It's too naive."

"That being said, the common people are very honest and simple. Many of them only see the present benefits and don't care about the past. Besides, the Li family is a major shareholder of TVB. If they use the media to do some publicity, this event might be a success. By then, the Li family will gain both fame and fortune, and they might even rise again—"

"Rise? Is it that easy?" Du Yongxiao sneered, "Everything depends on human effort, but there is also a saying that goes, God is watching what you do."

Yan Xiong asked suspiciously: "Godfather, what do you mean——"

"I'll go over there tonight and take a look. I hate to see the working people suffer, and I hate even more to see some people seeking fame and reputation."

"understand!"

Yan Xiong's eyes rolled around, as if he had guessed something, but he shook his head again, thinking, "My godfather's thoughts are as deep as the sea, how can I guess them?"

……

That night——
Du Yongxiao searched in the garage for a long time before he found a slightly old and low-key black Mercedes-Benz sedan.

This car was a gift from Lei Luo when Du Yongxiao was the Chinese Inspector. I remember that Du Yongxiao was full of vigor and vitality at that time. As the youngest inspector, he had a bright future.

In order to win him over and defeat Yan Xiong, Lei Luo gave him this car.

However, Du Yongxiao didn't open it much, which instead benefited the kid Datou Wen.

Datou Wen has been driving this car to pick up Du Yongxiao during get off work hours. If you count carefully, it has been about seven or eight years.

Now Datou Wen is no longer the poor boy who screams and shouts when he sees a luxury car. There are no less than seven or eight luxury cars parked in the garage of his villa. Of course, he is no longer attached to this Mercedes-Benz and just gives it directly to Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao is a nostalgic person. Yan Xiong dislikes it being in the way and has wanted to get rid of it several times, but was rejected by Du Yongxiao. Unexpectedly, it can be used now.

"Godfather, you really don't want me to drive you there?"

"Godfather, are you really going to drive this car to the event?" "Godfather, do you want me to call the traffic department and ask them to give you a green light?"

Yan Xiong believed that as long as he made a phone call, he would be able to drive smoothly wherever Du Yongxiao appeared.

However, all of these were rejected by Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao's meaning was very simple. He was just an ordinary citizen now, so there was no need to make things so grand. If it was necessary to make things so grand, he would have taken the "Commissioner of Police"'s No. 1 special car long ago, with a motorcycle leading the way in front and the police force following behind, and then have the police force play some music or something. He would definitely be more majestic than the Governor of Hong Kong.

"So, godfather, you want to keep a low profile. Fine then, I will quietly protect you. If you need anything, just shout 'Yan Xiong' and I will appear immediately!"

Du Yongxiao looked at Yan Xiong who was so confident and couldn't help but smile. He stepped forward and patted Yan Xiong on the shoulder: "You already have a very high position now, do you still want to take up a new position?"

"No, I just want to serve you well, godfather!"

"why?"

"Because without godfather, there would be no Yan Xiong today! Now I am more powerful than when I was one of the four chief inspectors! Not to mention others, I am more powerful than Lei Luo, Lan Gang, and even the dead Chen Zhichao! I used to lick the toes of those foreigners, but now those foreigners want to kiss my ass. I know that all of this is thanks to you!" Yan Xiong said confidently.

"So tell me, godfather, your safety is my safety! As long as you are in power, as your godson, I can continue to enjoy these hard-earned wealth and glory and continue to be superior to others!"

Du Yongxiao couldn't help but look at Yan Xiong for a second longer, praising him, "I didn't expect that you were so cunning before, but now you are so clear-headed."

"People change, especially people like me who have experienced ups and downs and almost lost their lives, so I have figured out a lot of things."

"Keep it up, there's a bright future ahead."

"Thank you for the compliment, godfather." Yan Xiong smiled and bowed to Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao was also amused by him. He got into the car and tried to start the engine. It actually caught fire the first time.

Yan Xiong hurried forward and said through the car window: "I asked someone to maintain this car at all times. The last time I saw you were reluctant to throw it away, I knew you were a nostalgic person, so I asked someone to maintain this car well."

Du Yongxiao couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Yan Xiong, I feel much less worried when you are by my side."

"Thank you for the compliment, godfather!" Yan Xiong bowed again.

"Okay, let's go!" Du Yongxiao drove away.

After the car left the garage, Yan Xiong straightened up and said to Zhuang Dingxian who had come running, "Ask Ren Darong to arrange three or five members of the Flying Tigers to secretly protect godfather's safety."

Zhuang Dingxian watched Du Yongxiao's shadow leave, "Didn't Brother Xiao dislike us protecting him?"

"This time is different." Yan Xiong said, "This event is hosted by the Li family. The Li family has evil ambitions, who knows if it will be bad for godfather?"

Zhuang Dingxian nodded when he heard this, "I understand, I'll do it right away!" Then he turned and left.

Yan Xiong put his hands behind his back, and suddenly he felt that he was second to none.

Who is Zhuang Dingxian?
He is a senior inspector-level figure, but he has to listen to my orders. And the bigwigs of the Du Group, including Liu Jianxiong in Japan, who among them would not treat me differently?

Just as he himself said, with Du Yongxiao as his backer, he, Yan Xiong, can truly live a carefree and happy life.

……

Du Yongxiao drove his old Mercedes-Benz all the way to the gate of the high-end residential area where Guan Jiahui and her friends lived.

As soon as his car stabilized, he saw Guan Jiahui running out wearing a brand new branded dress, followed by her parents.

Originally, Guan Jiahui wanted to drive over there by herself, but when she heard that Du Yongxiao was going to drive over, she was extremely happy. Who said he didn't have a car? He did!
But when she saw Du Yongxiao's old Mercedes-Benz, she was stunned, "This car is too old, it's older than me."

Guan Yueshan and Zhang Bingqian, who rushed over, also saw Du Yongxiao's car and their expressions froze.

The two looked at each other, wondering whether to take the car.

It would be too embarrassing to take a seat, but if I don’t take a seat, I’m afraid I won’t have enough time to drive now.

As for their own car, it happened to be taken for maintenance. They couldn't take a taxi at this time, right?

The celebrity neighbors in the community also saw Guan Yueshan and his friends' embarrassing behavior and laughed in their hearts, "I thought they found a rich man, but the car they drove was an old car. I guess even the wheels will fall off after a few drives."

Some people even said, "He's a good-looking guy, but the car is so low-class!"

Guan Jiahui was stunned for a moment, then she smiled and walked forward to hold Du Yongxiao's hand: "It's great that you're here! I thought you wouldn't come."

"No, I'll come if you ask me to, but this car...can you get used to it?"

"What's there to be uncomfortable with?" Guan Jiahui leaned close to Du Yongxiao's ear and whispered, "I know you've tried your best. You must have spent a lot of time looking for this car, but it's not necessary!"

Du Yongxiao originally thought that Guan Jiahui would look down on him, and then he could find an excuse to leave. He didn't expect the other party to say this, and he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

"Uncle and aunt, please get in the car!" Du Yongxiao opened the car door and politely invited Guan Yueshan and Zhang Bingqian to get in.

You two look at me, I look at you.

They are big stars, big stars. The cars they usually drive are either BMWs or Bentleys. They have ridden in Mercedes-Benzes like this one, but none as shabby as this one.

"Hey, I don't know where this poor boy found this broken car from!" Guan Yueshan whispered. "It would be so embarrassing if I took this car!"

"Stop nagging me. Time is running out! Who told you to take the car in for maintenance?"

"Is there a promotion going on over there? We can save money on oil by doing maintenance now!"

"Why haven't I seen you be so frugal before? When you have money, go to the dance hall to fool around and find your little darling!"

"Look at you, you bring this up again!"

"This is a thorn in my heart! Who am I? I am just your wife, but I am your little darling!"

The couple started arguing again.

At this time, a brand new champagne-colored BMW sedan came speeding over.

Du Yongxiao and the others were stunned, and then they saw——
Crunch!

The BMW stopped in front of them, and the door opened with a bang. A young man wearing high-end fur, with a shiny hair and sunglasses, and looking super cool got out of the car.

"Uncle and aunt, hello! I, Wen Peter, am here to pick you up!" The young man took off his sunglasses, smiled at Guan Yueshan and his wife, and then looked at Du Yongxiao provocatively, the meaning was very clear -
I am your love rival!
