Return to 88: Starting from Marrying My Sister-in-law
Chapter 697 It's all business
Lu Yang stopped five steps away, taking in Xiao Jun's angry expression, Mu Qizhong's composure, and the precarious predicament of Wang Pangzi and the others.
"You're the young master of Li Chao's family, right?"
Xiao Jun's voice was filled with barely suppressed anger, like a lion with its mane bristling. He glared directly at the group of well-dressed young people not far away, "I advise you to tell your lackeys to shut up and stop their damn nonsense. If you have the guts, come over here and say it to my face. I'll slap them across the face and that will be the end of it."
His self-proclaimed "I am Laozi" and his roar in Mandarin with a mainland accent were particularly jarring in the otherwise lively banquet hall, drawing most of the attention to him.
The air seemed to freeze for a moment.
The young man, referred to as "Li Chao's son," was in his early twenties. He wore a perfectly tailored bespoke suit and had a condescending indifference and a hint of offended anger on his face.
He slowly swirled his wine glass, not looking at Xiao Jun, but instead turning his gaze to Lu Yang who had just walked over, a playful sneer curling at the corner of his mouth: "Pretty boastful. Have you investigated the details? Don't let a few flies spoil everyone's fun tonight."
He naturally had no shortage of lackeys to help and flatter him.
Immediately, someone echoed his words.
"That's right, Brother Kai is right. Let's not let a few flies spoil everyone's fun tonight. Come on, let's drink. Where were we?"
"Speaking of mainlanders... civilized people don't communicate with barbarians."
"Ugh, that stinks! Who farted?"
"Who let this person in? He's turned this perfectly good banquet into a mess for no reason. It's so boring. I wish I hadn't come."
"Come on, with Brother Kai here, would you dare not come? In our circle, who would dare not give Brother Kai face?"
Kai Ge was constantly being flattered by the young people in this circle of rich second-generation individuals.
This young master of Li Chao's family simply smiled as he held his wine glass.
Neither prevent it.
He didn't interrupt.
He even raised his glass to Lu Yang, who was also looking in his direction, from a distance of more than ten meters away, through the wall of people.
Can't you call it a provocation?
But there must be a deeper meaning.
Lu Yang's eyes showed a thoughtful expression until a fragrant breeze followed him from behind.
"Who is he?"
Such a statement without any apparent reason.
However, some people understood. Xue Lai, who rushed over, was only stunned for a moment. Following Lu Yang's gaze, she spotted the elegant young man holding a glass of red wine in their direction and her eyes narrowed.
I almost gasped out in surprise.
How could it be him?
"This man is the second son of Li Ka-shing, founder of Cheung Kong Holdings. However, his current status, which is praised by a group of wealthy young men from Hong Kong Island, is due to his own strength. At present, no one of his peers in Hong Kong Island can rival him. The biggest thing that the media talked about about him was that a couple of years ago he sold the satellite television company (STAR TV) that he built to Western media tycoon Rupert Murdoch for a high price of US$9.5 million, earning his first pot of gold. He became famous overnight, and even his elder brother, Li Zeju, who was hailed as Li Ka-shing's successor, was far inferior to him."
She hesitated for a moment before stopping herself.
The Li family is one of the four major families in the port city. Their industrial chain controls all aspects of the daily necessities of the people in the port city. Unless necessary, if a boss wants to develop in the port city, it is best not to mess with this family.
We can be friends.
If we become enemies?
Well, she's only just been appointed as the head of the Hong Kong City Company under the boss's name, and she's probably going to have a lot of headaches coming up.
Although she didn't know what kind of company it was.
"So it was Little Superman."
A slight smile appeared on Lu Yang's lips.
When it comes to Li Ka-shing, he is naturally a famous figure, the richest man in Asia, and a source of pride for the Chinese people.
Before his downfall, he was a collective idol of entrepreneurs in mainland China after the reform and opening up.
His two sons are also household names.
The eldest son, Li Zeju, has always been diligent and low-key, helping his father, Li Ka-shing, manage Cheung Kong Holdings, and is also the only family heir designated by Li Ka-shing.
However, a few years later, the sudden emergence of the notorious gangster Zhang Qiang will put an end to this man's low profile, because it will eventually involve a kidnapping case of the century. In order to save his son, the heir of the family, Li Ka-shing was really willing to spend hundreds of millions of US dollars in cash to ransom him.
After speaking of the eldest son.
Next, let's talk about the second son, Li Zekai. He is even more capable than his elder brother, Li Zeju. He "completely" does not rely on his family and goes out on his own to start his own business, founding companies such as satellite television and PCCW Digital.
He sold satellite television to Western media mogul Rupert Murdoch for a hefty $9.5 million.
In 99, the “Cyberport Project” was proposed and received strong support from the Hong Kong Island government. It leveraged the technology boom to promote the transformation of Hong Kong Island’s industries and quickly gained fame.
But in reality, he was as cunning as a fox, secretly using others to his advantage. Through his subsidiary PCCW, he staged a snake-swallowing-elephant acquisition of Hong Kong telecommunications giant City Telecom, which was renamed PCCW after the merger. This transaction involved a staggering US$380 billion, shocking the Asian business community.
From then on, the name "Little Superman" spread like wildfire.
Even the Forbes list of later generations would separate this person from Li Ka-shing's Li family wealth, and rank him on a separate page. As for where he would be ranked?
I don't know about Lu Yang, the reborn one, but anyway, this kid will be a rich capitalist in the future.
"No wonder he's so arrogant."
"He was also surrounded by a bunch of sycophantic lackeys."
Lu Yang muttered to himself.
This little superman ignored Xiao Jun, that bastard, and instead seemed to be coming for him.
Lu Yang didn't investigate further.
I'm too lazy to investigate further. In short, don't mess with him. It's already merciful of him not to cause trouble. If you mess with him, I don't care if you're Superman or Superman Jr., I'll just fight you.
"joke……"
"Do you think I, a reborn person, am afraid of you?"
Unfortunately, Li Zekai couldn't hear Lu Yang's thoughts. Otherwise, this little superman might have thought things through and wouldn't have acted so irrationally, nor would he have completely offended Lu Yang.
Xiao Jun and Mu Qizhong had already walked up to Lu Yang while cursing.
Aside from the fact that the two of them had dark expressions.
The number of Hong Kong entertainment stars who used to follow Wang Jing has decreased significantly. Many of them have already dispersed on their own initiative and are trying to avoid him. They wouldn't dare to get involved in this mess.
As for the capital tycoon who curries favor with the insider, I heard that he is a wealthy tycoon who is not short of money and dares to throw money into the film industry.
They are indeed envious and want to curry favor with powerful figures, but when is it not okay to curry favor with powerful figures?
Does it have to be at this time?
So many people quickly ran away, waiting to see what would happen. If this powerful figure from the mainland had indeed offended the Li family, one of the four major families, then even if they had ten more lives, they wouldn't dare to cling to this powerful family anymore.
They were offered money and acting roles, but they wouldn't take them. Lu Yang's gaze swept around the room, finally settling on Xiao Jun. "Who do you dislike? Want to fight someone?"
Xiao Jun scratched the back of his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "It's all because of those bastards over there, spewing filth and daring to look down on us. If Brother Mu hadn't held me back, I would have taken them down long ago."
He's really bragging, but he doesn't seem to realize where he is—this isn't Shenzhen.
Before Lu Yang could say anything, Mu Qizhong chuckled coldly twice, took two steps back, and said, "Fine, I shouldn't have stopped you. Go ahead, you son of a bitch!"
Xiao Jun immediately fell silent.
He rolled his eyes at his companion: "Hey bro, can't you give me some face? Don't make me lose face like this, oh my god!"
He is not stupid.
It's not 97 yet, it's only the end of 94.
On someone else's turf, offending one of the four major families—given the current proliferation of underground gangs in Hong Kong, what if someone tries to sabotage things...?
He might not even be able to get out of this seemingly tiny place.
Hmph! A gentleman takes his revenge even after ten years. If you have the guts, come to the mainland, or wait until after 97, and I'll settle this score with you properly.
Seeing Xiao Jun's cowardly appearance.
Lu Yang shook his head. "Let's go. I've already made arrangements. If you two also have your eye on any villas on the hillside of Victoria Peak, tell my new assistant and she'll arrange a viewing for you."
Xuelai: Me? When did I become an assistant again? Wasn't I the general manager's assistant?
Lu Yang arranged a job for her in three minutes.
And she couldn't very well refute it.
What's the difference between doing something and doing something else?
An assistant it is!
She stole a glance at Lu Yang's profile, and suddenly thought that being his personal assistant might not be so bad. She could be by his side all the time and learn, well, more things...
She swallowed hard, pretending to be adjusting her clothes, then looked up, her professional smile returning, and said, "Mr. Mou and Mr. Xiao, are you also interested in buying a villa in Taiping Mountain? What a coincidence! My uncle happens to have a few such properties. If I were to speak to you, I could not only help you waive a large portion of the agent's fees, but I might even be able to negotiate a further discount on the price..."
Xiao Jun looked at Lu Yang and said, "Is she really your new assistant? Why don't you give her to me?"
Besides the fact that this woman was of mixed race and too beautiful, which made him more wary, he also wanted to help his sister ward off the bad luck associated with this young man.
It was Xue Lai's introduction that made him suddenly realize that this woman was actually the niece of that old foreign devil Michael, and she had a lot of connections in Hong Kong. If he could recruit such a beautiful and talented person to his team, wouldn't he have to spend a lot less effort when managing the Little Prodigy company in the future?
Well, when there's work, the assistant does it; when there's nothing to do... hehe...
How come Lu Yang is so lucky?
Lu Yang couldn't understand what he was saying, but that didn't stop him from replying with just two words, "Get lost, go away."
Then he looked at Mu Qizhong and said, "This kid has no money. Besides being good with words, he doesn't have any other skills. Brother, have you ever thought about buying property in Hong Kong first?"
If the other party really has this idea, then he wouldn't mind lending a hand.
Anyway, he doesn't need to worry about it himself; there are plenty of free laborers right around him.
It's also a good opportunity to test the other person's abilities and see if they can adapt to being groomed as part of his core team in the future.
Mu Qizhong laughed heartily and said, "Of course, no problem. I've already prepared the money."
As he spoke, he punched Xiao Jun, who was standing next to him, hard in the biceps, saying, "What are you doing, kid? Trying to desert, are you?"
The two of them had just made an appointment.
Xiao Jun doesn't have enough money on hand, and his cash flow is limited. He can ask his mother or his wealthy sister. If he's still short, he, as the older brother, wouldn't mind lending him some. He just has too much money and needs someone to keep him company.
Xiao Jun glanced guiltily behind him and hesitated before saying, "Well, I was just hurling insults and I'm afraid I've offended quite a few people. Maybe we should just forget about it?"
"Snapped."
Mu Qizhong slapped him on the shoulder again, "What are you afraid of? Even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up."
As she spoke, she gestured towards Lu Yang with her lip.
Anyone with eyes who was there could see it.
The three mainlanders were in cahoots.
If someone were to cause trouble, they would target all three of them together, picking on the tallest one.
Xiao Jun's eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh, "Buy it then, who's afraid of who's a grandson? Get me a villa on the mountainside too. I can't afford the king of houses on the mountaintop, but a mansion on the mountainside will do, no problem."
His voice was loud and rough, which immediately attracted the attention of a large circle of local political and business figures in the port city.
However, there are precedents.
Worried that this person might act recklessly again and insult their ancestors, I had no choice but to hide all the "contempt" on my face.
At most, he would shake his head, then turn his face away, pretending that he was no longer looking this way.
At this moment, the person who had previously sent someone to inquire about the origins of Lu Yang, Xiao Jun, and Mou Qizhong has now returned to the banquet hall.
They rushed over in a hurry.
Avoiding everyone else, he whispered in Superman's ear, "We found out, these three are no ordinary people... they're probably powerful figures from out of town..."
Li Zekai shook his head. "Don't get involved in this. Keep your mouth shut, understand?"
The man nodded cautiously and assured the man that he would not reveal the information he had found.
After that person left.
He himself fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, the little superman let out a carefree laugh, shook off his friends, and walked towards Lu Yang, Mou Qizhong, and Xiao Jun.
Immediately, his every move not only made his cronies and lackeys feel incredulous, but also caused many business tycoons and political elites who were whispering in the banquet hall to stop talking and turn their attention to him as he walked toward Lu Yang, Xiao Jun, and Mou Qizhong.
"Isn't this Li Chao's son?"
"It's that capable second son."
What does he want to do?
Li Zekai maintained an unchanged expression as he gracefully approached Lu Yang and the others. He extended his hand to Lu Yang and said, "Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Li Zekai, Chairman of Yingke Electronics. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Lu. I'm familiar with many of your companies. I wonder if you've considered..."
"No." (End of Chapter)
