Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

That evening, Chen Jiajun took a private jet and flew directly to Brunei.

After all, Chen Jiajun had almost finished handling things in America, so he decided to take the opportunity to visit Brunei.

Brunei's development in recent years can only be described as phenomenal. After occupying the entire island of Borneo, coupled with Chen Jiajun's years of investment in Brunei and its substantial oil reserves, the country is steadily improving, undergoing dramatic changes every year.

In addition, the large number of overseas Chinese immigrants has brought a lot of wealth to Brunei, as well as assets in various industries. Today, Brunei is no longer a country that can only live a good life because of Chen Jiajun's few factories.

However, Li Yaohua's presidential palace has not changed; it is still located in the former Richard's palace.

The presidential palace was no longer as dilapidated as before; it must have been renovated.

Not only were various Bruneian officials coming and going, but even the security forces at the gate had been redeployed with members of Guojun Security Company to guard the area.

After all, Brunei's development was too rapid, which made those spy organizations that had given up on dealing with Brunei restless again.

Especially when Brunei absorbed these forces from Kalimantan, there were always some foreign spies who infiltrated.

Fortunately, the Internal Affairs Investigation Team and the Political Department that Chen Jiajun had previously recruited from Hong Kong served as a good shield for Li Yaohua, at least preventing those spies from entering the core level.

Upon entering the presidential office, Chen Jiajun met Li Yaohua, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

Unlike his previous spirited youth, Li Yaohua is now several years younger than Chen Jiajun.

But now it seems there are at least fifty or sixty.

The horrific political situation had left this young president on the verge of collapse.

"Big Boss, you're here?" Li Yaohua was pleasantly surprised to see Chen Jiajun arrive.

Chen Jiajun nodded: "I came to see you, but you look so old. I remember you were a few years younger than me, right?"

Looking at his full head of white hair in the mirror, Li Yaohua said with a wry smile, "I originally thought that serving as president would be a very simple thing, but as Brunei continues to expand, my body can no longer keep up."

As the President of Brunei, Li Yaohua has a private medical team.

However, even the best medical teams are somewhat helpless when faced with Li Yaohua's situation.

After all, even the best tonics couldn't save Li Yaohua's body from his own abuse!

It should be noted that since Li Yaohua became the President of Brunei, in order not to disappoint Chen Jiajun and his people, he has almost never left his political duties.

Previously, it was because I didn't have my own team, so I had to do everything myself.

Now, faced with the rapid expansion of Brunei, he has no choice but to personally oversee its development.

Seeing that the guy was exhausted, Chen Jiajun chuckled and said, "Alright, put down what you're doing and come with me."

"Huh?" Li Yaohua asked, puzzled, "Where to?"

Chen Jiajun said calmly, "You'll know when you get there!"

Chen Jiajun did feel somewhat apologetic towards Li Yaohua, his loyal subordinate.

After all, aside from helping him conquer Brunei, they were still quite wary of him, except for some economic resources.

But more than ten or twenty years have passed, and Li Yaohua has not only not harbored any disloyal intentions.

So Chen Jiajun decided to give this guy a reward, as a way of acknowledging his hard work over the years.

He led Li Yaohua to a hot spring, where a pool of clear water filled the room, emitting an enticing fragrance and steaming hot vapor.

Chen Jiajun instructed the ghost demon beside him, "Have someone prepare for Li Yaohua to take a bath."

Ghost Demon nodded, then turned to Li Yaohua and said, "Mr. President, please come with me."

Li Yaohua looked at Chen Jiajun with a puzzled expression.

Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "Go ahead, you'll understand in a bit!"

Soon Li Yaohua changed his clothes and came out of the treehouse. Then, following the Ghost Demon's instructions, he lay down in a pool of water.

Li Yaohua immediately felt a strong life force envelop him, constantly nourishing his already exhausted body.

The injuries and depleted energy from years of hard work are rapidly recovering.

These hot springs, infused with body-enhancing agents, seemed to permeate every cell in his body.

He felt so good that he could barely open his eyes, and all his worries were swept away.

Before long, Li Yaohua fell into a deep sleep in the pool.

Chen Jiajun casually instructed, "Bring Li Yaohua to see me when he wakes up!"

The Ghost Demon nodded.

……

Not long after, Li Yaohua also regained consciousness.

Li Yaohua looked at himself and his face was full of disbelief.

His hair, which was originally all white, has now returned to its thick, black color.

His listless spirits have now turned into a radiant one.

Li Yaohua even felt that he was full of inexhaustible energy, as if he had returned to his eighteen-year-old self.

"Boss, this..." Li Yaohua said with a shocked expression.

Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "How about it? Are you satisfied with the reward I gave you?"

Regaining youth and health is something everyone dreams of, and Li Yaohua was naturally very satisfied and grateful.

If this thing could actually be sold, the world's richest people would go crazy for it.

Chen Jiajun chuckled and patted Li Yaohua on the shoulder, saying, "Alright, this is what you deserve. You've dedicated yourself to Brunei for so many years, you could say you've given your all, don't feel embarrassed!"

"Also, from now on, work is work, and life is life. You haven't found a wife after all these years. When you attend international conferences, you won't even bring the First Lady with you?"

Li Yaohua blushed at Chen Jiajun's words.

It's not that he doesn't want to find a wife, it's just that he's too busy with work to have the time.

After having some free time, I felt incredibly old, so I simply gave up on the idea.

Now Chen Jiajun has compensated him with his youth and health, and he does indeed have this idea.

Seeing Li Yaohua's shy expression, Chen Jiajun asked curiously, "You've got your eye on someone, kid?"

"Yes...yes." Li Yaohua nodded, somewhat stammering.

"Then what are we waiting for? Anyway, your family is all gone, I'll be your witness!" Chen Jiajun said to Li Yaohua with a smile, "Let's go propose today." Li Yaohua was startled: "No, no, no, boss, my personal matters aren't urgent."

"What could be more important than your lifelong happiness as the President?" Chen Jiajun waved his hand and said, "Leave it to me!"

Li Yaohua said helplessly, "Boss, this matter is really not urgent. We have another troublesome matter to deal with recently. It won't be too late after we finish dealing with it."

Chen Jiajun frowned and asked, "What troublesome matter?"

A glint of shrewdness flashed in Li Yaohua's eyes: "Someone is secretly planning a coup in Brunei!"

"A coup?" Chen Jiajun's face immediately turned cold. "Who has the audacity to do this?"

Li Yaohua shook his head and said, "We don't know yet. We only found out during the last spy investigation! They've joined forces with the indigenous peoples of Kalimantan who don't submit to Brunei's rule, and they plan to launch a coup on National Day!"

Chen Jiajun immediately sneered: "How dare you! You really know how to pick your timing!"

Li Yaohua nodded and said, "This is the tenth anniversary of our Brunei Kingdom's National Day. If these guys cause trouble at this time, I estimate that those covetous guys around us will definitely take advantage of our misfortune!"

"The political department is stationed on Brunei Island and can't spare anyone else to handle this matter. I'm having a headache about whether I should ask you for help!"

Chen Jiajun said coldly, "I'm afraid the recent surge in spies is related to this matter. They're trying to distract you from other things!"

Li Yaohua said helplessly, "They saw that my foundation was relatively weak, and they want to outlast me!"

Li Yaohua's health condition was not optimistic, which was known to many people and could not be hidden.

Now, all matters, big and small, in the Kingdom of Brunei are handled by Li Yaohua himself.

If he were to die from exhaustion, the Kingdom of Brunei would surely descend into chaos.

We might have to spit out the Kalimantan Island that we finally managed to swallow.

Chen Jiajun stroked his chin with amusement and said, "I wonder what those people would think if they saw you in your current state."

Li Yaohua touched his thick, black hair and shook his head, saying, "These people are very patient. If they saw me like this, they would probably hide again."

Chen Jiajun raised an eyebrow and said, "You have an idea?"

Li Yaohua nodded and said with a smile, "Since they are so sure they can outlive me, let's turn the tables and lure these people out so we can solve the problem once and for all."

"I remember you own an entertainment company, right? Borrowing two highly skilled makeup artists shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

Chen Jiajun immediately laughed: "You're such a rascal, but I like it! I'll contact Hong Kong right away and get two top makeup artists to come over. But until then, you should stay here and rest."

Li Yaohua nodded: "No problem. Anyway, my think tank members are all capable of handling things on their own now. My disappearance for a while won't cause chaos."

Since Li Yaohua had made the decision, Chen Jiajun contacted Hongxing Film Studio and borrowed two top makeup artists to come to Brunei overnight.

Chen Jiajun then had Sila, who had just been summoned, work with members of the intelligence department.

……

At this time, in Balikpapan Regency, East Kalimantan Province.

This is the wealthiest area on East Kalimantan Island, which was previously under Indonesian jurisdiction.

The Hu Ding family, the wealthiest family in the county, are typical local tycoons.

When Brunei was at war with Indonesia, it was the Hudin family that was the first to surrender.

This spared Balikpapan district from the ravages of war.

To say that the Hu Ding family has any loyalty to Li Yaohua is simply a joke.

The local tycoons in these places are never loyal to anyone.

Whether it's Brunei or Indonesia, they will only be loyal to themselves.

Submitting to Li Yaohua was merely a temporary measure. Besides, Li Yaohua needed local powerful clans like them to govern the region; otherwise, chaos would continue.

To put it simply, Li Yaohua needs the Hu Ding family, and the Hu Ding family doesn't care at all who the rulers are.

However, there is one thing that the Hu Ding family is very concerned about: because Li Yaohua has come to power, a large number of overseas Chinese have poured into Brunei, and Brunei's population structure is now very different.

According to official statistics, the majority of the population on the island of Borneo was originally Malay, with only a small number of Chinese and other ethnic groups.

However, with the influx of a large number of Chinese, the population structure of Borneo has undergone tremendous changes.

Originally, the Chinese only made up a minority, but now they are almost at the bottom of the population, approaching the proportion of Malays.

This greatly displeased the natives.

Since dissatisfaction has arisen, this has given outsiders an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

For example, today, a mysterious black car drove into the Blue Sky Hotel in Balikpapan.

Then a blond, blue-eyed foreigner, led by a local, went directly to the presidential suite.

This time, the patriarch of the Huding family, Peixin Huding, was already waiting.

“Peshing Huding, let me introduce you, this is Mr. William!” The person leading the way introduced the man in a suit and tie next to Peshing Huding.

William smiled and said to Peixin Huding, "Greetings, esteemed elder."

“An Englishman?” Peshin Huding said with some surprise, “I heard you wanted to see me? Is there something you need? I don’t recall our family having much trade with England, do we?”

William said calmly, "I did come to talk business with Peshin Hudin, but not about trade."

A glint of shrewdness flashed in Peixin Huding's eyes: "Then what do you want to talk about? I'm just a nouveau riche!"

Peixin Huding is old, but very cunning.

Although he already had some guesses about the Englishman's intentions, he was not about to give anyone cause for gossip.

“But you are Malays!” William said with a smile. “How could Malays possibly share common interests with the Chinese?”

Peixin Huding said calmly, "All I know is that under the rule of President Li Yaohua, the entire island of Kalimantan has benefited, and his prestige is not to be challenged."

Peixin Huding is no fool. Li Yaohua's prestige is at its peak on Kalimantan Island. Only a fool would be willing to go against Li Yaohua.

Didn't you see how badly Indonesia was beaten, losing a lot of territory, yet they didn't utter a single word?

The Huding family doesn't believe they can outmaneuver the Indonesians.

William smiled and said, "His Excellency the President's achievements are indeed unparalleled, and he himself is a wise monarch, however..."

With that, William gave a strange smile and said to Peixin Huding, "What if this President's life is nearing its end?" (End of Chapter)
