We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

Chapter 670 The way out
In the dazzling city of Hong Kong, Lan Kwai Fong is undoubtedly the most dazzling star when it comes to the most prosperous gathering place at night that is loved by young people and successful people from all walks of life.

This place is not only a synonym for vitality at night, but also a place where fashion and taste meet.

Whenever night falls, Lan Kwai Fong transforms into a dream world of light and shadow, attracting countless urban people who pursue quality of life and fresh experiences.

Under the flashing neon lights, all kinds of bars, restaurants and exquisite shops are lined up. Every light seems to tell a different story, creating an irresistible and attractive atmosphere.

Whether you want to take a tipsy trip on a whim, or long for a quiet place to chat in the busy city, Lan Kwai Fong can satisfy every visitor's heart with its unique charm.

In the early 80s, there were already more beautiful Chinese people in Hong Kong Island than British people.

At that time, many beautiful Chinese people complained that there was no place to drink easily after get off work. They could only go to nightclubs or the executive lounge of the hotel.

Someone heard this call, and Lan Kwai Fong came into being, attracting more and more foreigners and young people returning from studying abroad.

With the rise of the Far East, there are more and more Westerners in Hong Kong Island, and Lan Kwai Fong is becoming more and more popular.

Everything is complementary to each other. As more rich people come, there are also more people who are pretty and think they can catch a rich husband.

The streets are full of beautiful women dressed in sexy clothes, which naturally attracts more young people.

A bar on Wellington Street with a western feel. Just as it got dark, the bar was already half full of customers.

In the farthest corner, two white men in their thirties were chatting while glancing at the singer who was singing Hotel California on the stage.

"Nick, I can't seem to make an appointment with you lately. Are you so busy?"

"It's nothing, it's just that the company's performance this year is a bit poor, and I'm worried."

For Jonathan, he couldn't mention family reasons, because Nick's wife always went to the parties with them, and they were very close and the other party wouldn't believe that they were quarreling.

Moreover, this lie cannot be concealed, and there is no telling when the two of them will meet and talk about this matter.

Another point is that Jonathan had always wanted to work at the Hong Kong Island branch of Bahrain Bank, and Nick knew this.

However, Nick always avoided Jonathan's indirect temptations. The reason was, of course, that he didn't want the other party to come.

Unlike other colleagues, Jonathan also has a friendship, which makes it possible for the other party to discover his violations.

For Jonathan, although they are friends, they are not close friends. If Jonathan can step on himself to get to the top, Nick believes that the other party will not hesitate too much.

What he didn't know was that the other party was already doing this.

"Really? But you don't have to worry. Business will pick up sooner or later. You are the star of Barings Bank."

After clinking glasses with the other person and drinking the beer in the glass, Jonathan seemed to be lost in some memories.

"I remember when we were at Morgan Stanley, we would have a drink after work and think about our future.

You said you wanted to be a superior person, drive a luxury car and live in a big villa, retire at the age of 40, and then live the life you like.

"Yeah." Nick also recalled the past pride.

"At that time, we were both at the bottom of the contempt chain. In the eyes of others, we were white-collar workers on Wall Street and worked for giants like Morgan Stanley.

But only you know your own situation. Those of us at the bottom of society are busy with three meals a day."

"Hehe," Jonathan smiled, "but you are one step closer to your goal.

Now you are the performance star of Barings Bank, and your bonus alone is millions of pounds every year. Even if you retire now, you can live a comfortable life."

Nick smiled bitterly in his heart, but did not refute.

“Actually, I envy you now. You have three meals a day, a wife and children, and you are content with just being a receptionist.

This is what life is all about, without having to pay too much and without having to bear any consequences."

Patting Jonathan on the shoulder, Nick sincerely warned, "Jonathan, listen to me and don't change your life goals.

The scenery up there is beautiful, but only when you stand up there will you understand how strong the wind is. If you are not careful, you will be blown to pieces.

If you are down there, even if you fall, at least you can get up."

I don’t know if Nick’s words touched Jonathan, but as he looked into the other’s eyes, Jonathan’s tone was heavy.

"Nick, are we friends?".

"Of course." Nick frowned, not knowing why Jonathan asked that. "Well, since we are friends, I think friends should be sincere with each other.

I admit that I had a purpose in lying to you at the beginning. I wanted to work as a trader in the Bank of Bahrain.

In fact, I don’t work for a small investment company, but in the futures department of Far Eastern Bank.”

"Swish" Nick stood up all of a sudden, his eyes revealing nervousness, ferocity, relief and many other expressions.

Finally, Nick thought about the environment here, sat down, and drank the wine in the glass first, his tone was calm.

"So you already knew that?"

It did not explain what the other party knew, but since the other party clearly stated that he worked for Far East Bank, everything was self-evident.

"Nick, we are friends, I can help you."

"Help me?" Nick shook his head. His deficit was too huge and the other party, a member of the Far East Bank, could not help him at all.

Jonathan also understood that the other party had misunderstood his meaning, and then said, "I may not be able to make you fill this hole, but I can leave you a way out.

You have to know that you have a family, you have Maye and you have Bryony."

Mayeri is Nick's wife and Bryony is their two-year-old child.

When talking about family, Nick's expression finally changed.

"So the Far East Bank knows about this, and Barings Bank has become their target. Am I going to be the bad guy?"

"No," Jonathan shook his head in denial, "I said we are friends, and friends are not meant to push him into the abyss."

Jonathan now looked very sincere and as if he was thinking about Nick.

"I think you should have quite a bit of savings now, right? Even if you retire now, your family will be able to live a wealthy life.

Far East, you should understand without my explanation what these two words mean in Hong Kong Island and how much power they possess.

I can help you leave Hong Kong Island with a new identity, and no one will be able to find out how you left and where you went, it will be like you have evaporated from the face of the earth."

Far East, Nick certainly knew what this name meant in Hong Kong Island.

He had never thought that a consortium could have such an impact on a city. These years in Hong Kong Far East have undoubtedly refreshed Nick's cognition.

He is from the West, so what about the United States? What about Britain? But those top forces can't control Hong Kong Island like the Far East.

"So what do you want me to do?"

Jonathan couldn't keep this promise. It must be a condition proposed by the Far East Bank.

As for why Nick believed it, it was due to the good reputation of the Luo family and the Far East Group.

"It's very simple. I want to know what situation you are in now and what your subsequent plans are."

Nick was a little confused. What are my plans for the future? Shouldn't I just do whatever you tell me to do?

Jonathan smiled and said, "This is the charm of the Far East, which cannot be compared with those dirty old money.

You can take a chance. If you win, you can be a stable general manager. If you lose, you can leave Hong Kong Island and remain unknown forever.

But we need to know everything so we can prepare."

Nick really didn't expect that Far East would be willing to let him give it a try instead of using the leverage he had in his hands to completely destroy the Bank of Barings.

Nick didn't know that this was not because the Far East Bank was generous, but because they simply looked down on him.

By studying his past resume, Du Huilian came to a conclusion.

That is, Nick has some talent but not much, and his performance over the years is entirely due to following the right market rather than relying on his own abilities.

Du Huilian is not optimistic about the Bank of Bahrain. Even if Nick wins the bet by accident this time, there will definitely be a next time, and there will always be a day when he loses.

“Well, I do have some ideas…”.

After that, Nick told Jonathan all his thoughts, and Jonathan's mouth opened wide.
