Shenhao: Please stop messing around

Chapter 245 Chapter 244, Young Loyalty, Young Thick-skinned (7K)

Lin Chu wasn't as touched as Zhang Peng, so there was no need to be pretentious.

Just focus on moving forward!

This is true for both career and love.

If this girl doesn’t like you, just change her. There will always be a better one.

If any brother wants a stable life and doesn't want to play anymore, just take care of your own life. As long as you don't harm me, we are still good brothers. There is no problem with us eating and drinking together.

Lying leisurely on the sofa, Lin Chu crossed his legs, took out his mobile phone again, opened the web page, and started looking at airplanes and yachts.

Sea, land and air, the trinity.

Everything that needs to be arranged must be arranged.

The Dabo Island that I bought has been purchased, but it is far from being developed. Once it is developed, if I want to go there for a vacation or something, an airplane will be a must and a runway will have to be built.

That would really be called the Lord of Xiaoyao Island.

What's more, it is very close to Shenzhen and Hong Kong, and it only takes more than an hour to fly there.

Currently, the world's top business jet is naturally Gulfstream. Boeing's accident rate is too high, and it is not yet my turn to get orders for domestically produced large aircraft. After checking on the Internet, I found that Gulfstream has an office in Hong Kong. After all, Hong Kong is one of the bases of the wealthy in Southeast Asia.

Lin Chu made a phone call.

Got connected quickly.

"Hello, sir, this is Gulfstream Airlines, how can I help you?"

A sweet voice sounded softly in the receiver.

"I want to buy a plane, the same model as Musk's, the Gulfstream G650."

Lin Chu said directly.

After looking around online, Lin Chu had already decided on the G650.

This is the fastest business jet currently available, with a maximum flight distance of 1.3 kilometers, enough to cross oceans and reach all parts of the world. It can fly at a speed of 1133 kilometers per hour, which is much faster than most civil aircraft.

Although... I am not the richest man in the world yet, but in this aspect, I have no problem comparing myself with him.

Just a plane.

It's not company equity.

It is not the imperial seal either.

There is no uniqueness at all.

Objectively speaking, with the current liquid funds I have, I can definitely afford any industrial technology product that can be mass-produced by industrial civilization for personal enjoyment.

The Gulfstream G650 is priced at around 3.5-4 million yuan. Even with various customized facilities, it would only cost 5 million yuan at most.

"OK sir, which city in the world are you in? Our customer service manager will come to your door in person to confirm your purchase needs."

The service is quite good. After all, airplanes are definitely a luxury.

Lin Chu thought about it and decided that since he had no plans for the afternoon, he might as well get these messy things done. So he said directly, "Xiangjiang, Repulse Bay 108, both are available this afternoon."

"Okay sir, then I'll make an appointment with you in an hour, around 1pm, is that ok?"

"Okay, just come directly."

hang up the phone.

Lin Chu called the yacht company again and chose the brand Wally, which is also considered to be one of the world's top yacht manufacturers and is known as the "mobile leisure paradise". Bah, the word "paradise" is really dazzling, but considering the cultural differences, forget it. After all, they also have an office in Hong Kong, and saving trouble is the most important thing.

After the two phone calls, Lin Chu felt...relaxed.

This is what financial freedom feels like!

This is what a man should be like!
At this moment, Lin Chu suddenly, inexplicably, thought of Li Yaoyao.

Uh.

Why do I miss her?
Thank God, thank the earth, thank my ex-girlfriend, and thank the system dad.

Suddenly, Lin Chu thought of a Japanese drama he had watched before.

A drama with a strong female lead.

In the drama, the heroine discovered many years later that her ex-boyfriend had become a billionaire, and at the same time, she had the ability to be reborn.

So she was reborn and secretly made up her mind and swore that no matter how poor and miserable her boyfriend was in the early days of this life, she would never give up on him and would stick with him until the day he became successful in his career.

As a result, decades later, I discovered that due to the butterfly effect, he could not get rich when I was with him and lived in poverty all his life.

Shaking his head and smiling, Lin Chu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This is fate.

At this moment, the phone suddenly rang. It was an unfamiliar number, a Hong Kong number. Lin Chu thought it was a salesperson from an airplane or yacht company, so he picked up the call.

"Hello, Mr. Lin. We have received the deposit for your Southeast Asia missing person search mission and have contacted the client. The preliminary investigation has been completed. The missing person, Lu Feng, has been identified and located. He is currently being picked up by our staff. This mission is relatively simple. The total reward is two million. You just need to pay the balance."

It was a deep male voice, seemingly without emotion, but he spoke very clearly.

My grass?

Lin Chu was stunned by these words.

It’s been less than two hours since the task was posted, right?

Are they so efficient?
"So soon? Did you kidnap the person?"

Lin Chu raised questions and made a joke.

The man on the other end of the phone couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this. His voice was a little more humane and a little proud. "We are professional in global search. We have our own intelligence network and personal network all over the world."

"This missing person is a simple kidnapping case. He was kidnapped by an online fraud gang. Of course, I cannot tell you which gang it is."

"However, with a word from Shenlong Company, they had to release the person obediently. They didn't even ask for a ransom, and they even gave an additional compensation of 500,000 yuan."

"This money is currently in cash and will be brought back by Lu Feng. As for how you distribute it, that is up to you."

hiss……

Lin Chu was shocked.

Really shocking.

As expected of a security giant with 50,000 full-time employees, this kind of strength is truly terrifying, and it cannot be achieved by just having money. It takes many years of operation, enough deterrence, and people of its own in all aspects.

"Okay, the balance will be paid soon. I am very satisfied with your ability to do things. If possible, I hope to talk to the senior management of your company."

Lin Chu said as if nothing had happened.

I also want to get into this industry. In Pengcheng, there is a big boss named Gao Haitao. In Hong Kong, there is Shenlong Security. Although they are "competitors", they are legal companies after all, and they are giants. In the early stage, if I can have some connections with them, even if I have to buy them with money, it will be a great help in doing many things.

"Okay, sir, I will report your request to my superiors, and there should be a result within three days. Please pay attention to answer the phone then. I wish you a happy life. Goodbye."

The person on the other end hung up the phone directly, very decisively.

Lin Chu had never expected that this matter could be accomplished so efficiently. For a moment, the importance of the security company in his heart was raised to a higher level.

As the saying goes, with money comes power.

I have money and I did it myself.

But there is momentum, and it’s just the beginning.

There is still a long way to go.

The logic between being rich and powerful is also very clear.

If you have power, you must have money.

But the opposite is not necessarily true. It still requires hard work. Moreover, the size of one's own power actually depends mainly on the strength of the enemy.

Take Lu Feng for example, he was kidnapped in Southeast Asia. If he was kidnapped in America, it might not be so easy.

……

"Brother Jackie Chan, I have already resolved the issue in the live broadcast room last night. Please take the trouble to tell you."

Lin Chu sent another message to Jackie Chan. He didn't know whether he had taken any action in this matter, but since it had been resolved, he would not take any more unnecessary actions.

Of course, there is no best and it doesn’t matter. It’s not other people’s business.

After the message was sent, Jackie Chan's reply was received soon.

He took a photo and came over.

Is drinking tea.

"I was drinking tea with an old friend and asked for you, but they are slow and haven't found out where you are yet. As long as it's solved, I won't worry about it anymore."

Seeing this news, Lin Chu was slightly stunned for a moment, but a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

See it.

This is the big brother style.

Although he has never made any promises to you, he has already started taking action secretly.

Moreover, Lin Chu could also guess what he was doing.

It’s not worth going through so much trouble for such a “small matter”. It’s nothing more than inviting an old friend related to this field to have tea, and mentioning it casually over tea, and it’s basically done.

"Thank you for your trouble. I found a professional security company, Shenlong Group. It's not expensive, only two million, and it did the job. I hired them in the morning, and found them in the afternoon and released them."

Lin Chu replied again. This matter seemed to make his elder brother feel a little embarrassed.

But that’s okay.

He certainly won't care about these things.

"Okay, nothing's wrong, would you like some tea?"

"Sure."

"Come to my house, Building 54."

He invited Lin Chu to have tea, so of course he went. After talking to Zhang Peng and confirming the models of the plane and yacht, and then talking to the people from the two companies, Lin Chu went out. Since they were in the same luxury residential area, there was naturally no need to drive, and he could just walk there.

It was noon, but the tree-lined paths on the mountain and the leaves above almost blocked all the sunlight. Occasionally, where the view was wide, you could see the sea. It was quite pleasant to walk there.

I haven't exercised in a while.

Ever since the beginning of my abdominal muscles began to take shape, I have become lazy and not so concerned about it.

The main thing is that I haven't been spending so much time in my private life recently. I don't have to be a groom every night. I have really saved a lot of energy and drink less. On the contrary, my life is much more regular than before, and my abdominal muscles are even clearer.

Looking at the road sign and confirming the direction of Building 54, which was still some distance away, Lin Chu simply took off his T-shirt, bare-chested, and ran quickly on this small road.

Without it.

Just want to run.

There's nothing decent or dishonorable about it.

Why, Hong Kong still doesn’t allow people to go shirtless?

The oncoming wind blew on his face, cool and comfortable, and his strong body also made Lin Chu feel as if he had endless energy.

Also, people feel refreshed when happy things happen.

He was young, with a fine horse, furs worth thousands of gold, an airplane and a mansion, and he was healthy and fit, full of energy and vigor.

……

Building 54 was already in sight. Lin Chu put on his T-shirt and walked towards that direction at a leisurely pace.

The bronze door was filled with an antique feeling. There was a woman waiting at the door, but she was not a Filipino maid. Instead, she was a middle-aged woman with long braids. She was dressed very simply, but had a kind face.

Lin Chu's heart moved slightly, and three words quietly popped up in his mind - a spinster.

For a moment, there were some different feelings.

I have seen this kind of character in many old movies, but this is the first time I have seen it in real life.

To be honest, this is the ultimate luxury in the "servant" world, and they can even be considered family members. They are countless times better than any Filipino maids.

Of course, this kind of cultural soil is definitely no longer available in the mainland. Only in Hong Kong is some of it still preserved, but definitely not much.

"Is it Mr. Lin Chu?"

"Please come in, the gentleman is waiting for you in the tea room."

She invited her politely and warmly. Lin Chu smiled and nodded at her. After a few words of greeting, he followed her in.

Send a message to Zhang Peng casually.

"Peng, the housekeeper and the maid, arrange them and ask the real estate agent."

Zhang Peng: "Okay! I'll ask now."

Lin Chu still feels culturally uncomfortable with the behavior of a woman who has been combed herself. Although he thinks it is awesome, the concept of equality for all is deeply rooted in his bones. He would feel uncomfortable having such a "maid". So, it is better to adopt the market economy and use Filipino maids. Anyway, this kind of housekeeping is very common and mature in Hong Kong.

This house is even bigger than Building 108, but it also accommodates more people.

In the yard, there was an old man sitting in a wheelchair, basking in the sun, and in front of him was a Filipino maid massaging his legs.

The old man had gray hair and his eyes were closed, looking very much enjoying the feeling.

Lin Chu took a look but didn't say hello. He just guessed that this should be Jackie Chan's old brother.

After all, he was a martial artist, and he might have old brothers who were injured before, so it would be nice to live together in old age.

Arrived at the tea room.

Through the glass door, I could see Jackie Chan sitting in the main seat, with three old uncles and a middle-aged man inside, all laughing and chatting happily.

Lin Chu washed his hands at the door, took the towel handed to him and wiped his hands, then walked in, and the four people immediately looked at him.

Wow. This feeling...

Like the senior citizen activity center in the village.

A wonderful metaphor popped up in his mind, and Lin Chu couldn't help but smile. It's good to enjoy life in old age.

"My friend, Mr. Lin, is the big boss of Pengcheng. He runs a media group and a golf course."

Jackie Chan stood up and introduced with a smile, and then introduced each side.

They were all old brothers, from the martial arts world or gangs, the so-called big guys in the "jianghu". Although his introduction was vague, Lin Chu still understood it.

They shook hands.

Lin Chujing sat last.

This feeling is very wonderful, as if catching the tail of that great era. Although I don't know what they have been through, they are obviously lucky to be able to sit here at this moment. What is left after the great waves, no matter it is real gold or stubborn stone, is always strong enough.

Living long is the bottom line.

"Mr. Lin is a very good young man. During the live broadcast last night, an unknown fan asked for help, saying that his brother was missing in Southeast Asia, and he agreed to help."

"We spent two million today and hired Shenlong Security, and they rescued him in a few hours."

"Young man, you are really loyal!"

Jackie Chan smiled and explained the reason for inviting Lin Chu.

This is the main reason.

Loyalty, even if it is the brotherhood of the underworld, although it is not standard in their youth, it is at least mainstream. Those who betray will be stabbed three times and stabbed six times. But now, it is almost rare. Jackie Chan really admires Lin Chu's "quite ancient" character.

Several people also laughed and echoed a few words.

In such occasions, Lin Chu didn't say much because his age was obvious.

However, I didn't feel bored and listened to their conversation with great interest.

The topics of their conversation were all very casual, either reminiscing about the glorious past, or talking about recent romantic affairs, as well as all kinds of messy business and political gossip.

Occasionally he would turn the topic to Lin Chu and ask about the romantic lives of young people.

Lin Chu responded with a smile and told them some eye-catching gossip, and then several of them sighed that young people still know how to have fun.

A few people were having a great chat...

dong dong dong.

There was a sudden knock on the glass door.

The comb-haired girl appeared at the door. Seeing that the conversation inside had come to an end and no one was talking, she pulled the door open and came in: "Sir, there are three young men who come to pay you a Mid-Autumn Festival greeting. The leader is the eldest son of Zhuang Xiurui's family, and he is followed by two little followers."

"Okay, let them come in and have a cup of tea together."

Jackie Chan immediately waved his hands and smiled, without moving his butt, "Zhuang Xiurui was an old friend. He passed away last year. The sons in the family were fighting over him and it was a mess.

Not long after, three young men came in from outside the door.

The leader was dressed in British style, in a suit and tie, and looked to be around thirty years old.

The two people behind him, one is Xigou, and the other one Lin Chu recognizes, it turns out to be Kang Hao.

now……

When Kang Hao saw Lin Chu, he was also shocked.

He knew that Lin Chu was planning to buy a house here, but he didn't expect that Lin Chu was actually a guest of Jackie Chan's family.

"Yingcheng, how is your family doing now?"

Jackie Chan asked the three of them to sit down without introducing them. He acted like an elder and asked casually.

Yingcheng?

Zhuang Yingcheng?
This name sounded familiar to Lin Chu. After thinking about it, he remembered it. After all, Kang Hao was also here. When he said he wanted to apply to join the Tongxin Youth Association, Zhuang Yingcheng was considered a key figure. It seemed that he had pursued Zhou Luan, but was blocked.

However, after being rejected last time, Lin Chu’s desire to mingle in the social circle has faded a lot.

In fact, the main reason I wanted to get involved in this circle at that time was that I wanted to investigate their marital and emotional status and use it as a database for my own reference.

"Uncle, it's not good. My second and third brothers have been very excited recently. My second brother found an American bank and wants to take away all the shares held by my third brother and me. My third brother even wants to find someone to shoot him in the back. Mom was so angry that she was hospitalized. I have been taking care of her recently and I am even a little discouraged. Let them fight, but Mom doesn't care anymore. God bless you!"

Zhuang Yingcheng took a deep breath and said with a flushed face.

Although it is said that family disgrace should not be made public, he now wants to make a big fuss about it and tell these things to his former uncles and aunts. Firstly, it is to complain, and secondly, to see if he can get some support.

After hearing this, the atmosphere in the tea room became a little awkward.

This child speaks without any care.

After celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival, they sat down to have a cup of tea. Jackie Chan asked a question casually, but he suddenly dropped a bombshell.

She looked like a crying little girl.

Jackie Chan touched his nose, his expression did not change, he smiled nonchalantly and said: "Every family has its own problems. It is not easy for me to interfere in your family affairs. If I were to interfere, it would be even more difficult. Your two uncles are still here. Family matters should be resolved at home. If outsiders show up, you will be in trouble."

"Take good care of your mother first. Where is she hospitalized? Is it serious? It's probably her old problem. I know some very good doctors and I'll introduce them to you later."

He would just touch upon this kind of thing briefly and let it go.

"Uncle, I want to borrow some money from you to raise funds and see if we can put our family together again. You and my dad have been brothers for decades, so you don't want my family to fall apart, right?"

"When I was a kid, my dad always wanted me to recognize you as my godfather. I was ignorant at that time and was delayed by other things. But now, I am still willing to recognize you as my godfather."

Zhuang Yingcheng said in a serious tone.

Lin Chu:?
Oh, what the hell?

This young master's level is a bit low.

Is he really spoiled?

There's nothing wrong with recognizing a godfather. After all, my family is in trouble now and I want to find someone to hold on to. But...how can it be done that way?

In front of so many people, Jackie Chan was put on the spot, and it even felt like forcing the emperor to abdicate. He had no dignity at all.

Too shabby.

It's so fucking shabby.

Zhu Yizhen is better than him!
However, there are many kinds of people, and there are all kinds of people.

"what……"

"Drink tea."

Jackie Chan poured him a cup of tea.

An old brother on the left couldn't help but chime in, smiling, "These are two different things. Let's talk about them one by one. Do you want to recognize a godfather or do you want to borrow money? If the godfather gives you money, it's not a loan. We are father and son, so what's the point of talking about borrowing?"

Old people become cunning and old horses become slippery.

The old man is also quite interesting, and his words reveal a bit of malice.

Zhuang Yingcheng glanced over here, his eyes rolled around, his eye sockets became red, and tears immediately came out. He suddenly stood up, his knees went weak, and he knelt down in the direction of Jackie Chan.

Boom!
It's just a loud noise.

My forehead hit the wooden floor, duang!

Everyone in the tea room, including Jackie Chan himself, was stunned by this scene.

No one expected that Zhuang Yingcheng would be so decisive and suddenly perform such a great ceremony.

Lin Chu glanced at him nonchalantly, his sharp Adam's apple moving, he wanted to laugh a little, but naturally he forced himself to hold it back, he even felt a bit of admiration in his heart.

Cruel person.

Awesome.

Actor.

Just this ability of "crying when told to cry and kneeling when told to kneel" is truly shameless and invincible.

What if kneeling down leads to a bright future?

Zhuang Yingcheng, if you take it seriously, he may not be a complete playboy.

Jackie Chan still had a smile on his face. Although he was getting more angry, he was still calm and composed: "Okay, what are you doing? Get up first. I'm going to have a party here in a few days. Call the second and third brothers over, as well as your two uncles, and bring your lawyers. Let's talk in front of me... Let's deal with our own business behind closed doors. I'll be a witness."

It seems that he is very experienced in handling this kind of things.

A slap cannot make a sound.

It's not good to stand on any side, the best thing to do is to stay in the middle and be a peacemaker or a witness.

Hearing this, Zhuang Yingcheng immediately got up, tears still in his eyes, and looked at Jackie Chan with gratitude.

"Okay! Thank you, uncle. You still care about me. In fact, the most important thing is the second and third sons. I'm really afraid that they will fight against each other. This kind of thing will definitely make my family a joke."

Jackie Chan still smiled and nodded.

After getting his promise, Zhuang Yingcheng considered today's mission completed. He sat for a while, drank a few cups of tea, then took the initiative to say goodbye and left with a smile.

Kang Hao turned around to look at Lin Chu one last time, moved his lips, but didn't say much, and walked away silently.

He was also very surprised and shocked by Zhuang Yingcheng's behavior today.

I even felt like I was being used as a gun.

We were having a great time together, but he suddenly insisted on dragging everyone together to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with Jackie Chan, and then we witnessed this scene.

It works!

Hey...Mr. Zhuang.

Wait until you get out the door.

Zhuang Yingcheng looked at the two people on his left and right, with a little more pride and complacency in his eyes, and asked with a smile: "Who was that person drinking tea with us just now? Do you know him? Could it be another illegitimate child of my uncle? The one with a big nose looks quite similar to him."

Kang Hao glanced at him speechlessly: "No, definitely not. The one I know is Lin Chu, from Pengcheng. He applied to join the Tongxin Youth Association a few days ago, but you rejected him. I just don't know how he got together with Jackie Chan."

Ok?
When Zhuang Yingcheng heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

"Is that the idiot who failed to catch up with Xiaoluan?"

Kang Hao sighed and nodded.

What didn't you catch?

He still had doubts about this scandal, and basically judged that it was a game between Lin Chu and Zhou Luan, and they treated the majority of netizens as part of their game and as a trap.

But, this kind of thing is naturally not convenient to tell others.

Forget it, I'm too lazy to care about it.

Zhuang Yingcheng's eyes flickered twice, and he smiled again: "Check him out. If he is really capable, let him join. More friends means more paths."

Kang Hao: ...

"Then tell him not to let me pass on the message. I was passing on the message to refuse, but now you want me to pass on the message to agree. I am so humble and it is difficult for me to be a human being."

He was also speechless.

Young Master Zhuang is truly an expert at changing his stance according to the situation.

Being his friend is exhausting.

Zhuang Yingcheng laughed, put his arm around Kang Hao's shoulders, and said carelessly, "Hey, what's the big deal? Don't bother two people with the same thing. You met the friend first, so you should come. He must still want to apply for it. Isn't this a good thing to do for people? How can it be difficult to be a human being? I am giving you a favor, do you understand? Stupid boy? You have been with me for so long, how come you haven't made any progress at all?"

Kang Hao: ...

I looked at him helplessly, feeling a bit used to PUA.

He knew clearly in his heart that Zhuang Yingcheng liked this, but after all, they had known each other since childhood, and this was not a matter of principle. He was soft-hearted, while he was domineering and cunning, so this way of getting along would be the way it was.

"Okay, okay, I'll go."

"Lin Chu lives here... I just met him yesterday, and he said he wanted to buy a house. I guess he has bought it, right?"

……

tea room.

After the three of them left, Lin Chu couldn't help but laugh twice and said casually: "This Mr. Zhuang is really... soft and hard, obviously he is a good actor."

Several people couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Jackie Chan smiled and sighed, "He's been spoiled since he was young... He had three sons when he was old, and they were all spoiled to the sky. When he was studying abroad, he shot a classmate in the hand with a gun. If it weren't for his father's dignity..."

As he spoke, his tone became a little low and his eyes dimmed a little.

Lin Chu guessed that he was also thinking of his own son.

It’s true that every family has its own problems.

"What kind of business does the banker do?"

Lin Chu changed the subject as if nothing had happened and naturally would not talk about other people's sad stories anymore.

The old man next to him heard this, lit a cigarette, and said with a smile: "Oh, that's incredible. Twenty years ago, he was called Zhuang Baiyi, the rubber king. He owned at least half of the rubber in Southeast Asia, if not 10%. He even had four listed companies... He was very impressive. It's a pity that the father is a hero but the son is a coward."

Lin Chu: …

Uh.

That’s true, it’s pretty awesome.
