Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 90: Hong Kong Specialty Fish Steak (Part 90)
Ada was also retching from the smoke, but he didn't dare to offend this group of low-profile gangsters. If they held a grudge against him, he would definitely be put in a sack and beaten up when walking on the street at night.

"A hero should not be fussy about small matters. There is a faucet over here, just for VIPs to wash their feet."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Ada quickly came out to smooth things over. He connected the water pipe, turned on the faucet, and let these gangsters wash their feet.

Ji Mi and the others also had red faces as they cleaned their athlete's feet one by one.

Chi Mengli also felt helpless. He didn't expect that as a boss, he would also have to consider the personal hygiene of his subordinates.

What a flop!

He boarded Wen Liangren's yacht. The foreigners have a yacht culture, so yachts are everywhere in Hong Kong and Macau, and they are not expensive. The cheapest yacht produced by the Whampoa Shipyard only costs 30,000 Hong Kong dollars, and a mid-range yacht is only 70,000 or 80,000.

However, although Wen Liangren’s yacht is not big, it is equipped with the most luxurious equipment and is written in English. It should be a top-of-the-line yacht purchased from his ancestors.

Moreover, not only are English words used everywhere on Mr. Wen's ship, but the ship's service staff, captain and crew are all foreigners.

interesting!

"Asheng, come up and have a chat. Ada will help you take care of your men."

In the blink of an eye, Wen Liangren had already reached the top floor of the yacht and called Chi Mengli up for a good chat.

How could Chi Mengli refuse the boss's invitation? He handed his suit jacket to the waiter beside him, asked for a bottle of Paris water, and went up to the top floor of the yacht along the ladder.

"Asheng, how do you feel?"

Although his ancestral home is Tianjin, Wen Liangren has been in Hong Kong for decades and has long since mastered Cantonese.

"Wen Sheng, your yacht is very interesting, and the people on it are even more interesting."

Chi Mengli sat opposite Wen Liangren, and his words were full of double entendres.

The young, beautiful and graceful foreign waitress brought a bottle of chilled champagne, two glasses, and the Perrier water that Chi Mengli specifically requested.

As an old fox, Wen Liangren immediately understood that what Chi Mengli said was more interesting. He laughed out loud and waved his hand casually, asking the foreign female waiter to leave.

When they were the only two left on the top of the yacht, he said, "My favorite person is Mr. Gu."

"Although I have never met him, I still admire Mr. Gu's knowledge and character. He likes to use foreigners as housekeepers, so I follow his example. After all, he is my idol, so I use White Russian maids at home."

"We use foreign drivers and foreign bodyguards when we are out, and foreign service staff, foreign captains, and foreign crew members on board."

"Whether it's Hong Kong, the foreign concessions, or Tianjin in the past, the world has not changed. The color of your skin is just a cover, and the money in your pocket determines your social status."

"As long as you have enough money in your pocket and are willing to pay enough, the princess will lie on the bed and let you touch her just for the money."

"My father once said that everyone has a price."

"Asheng, have you ever considered your price?"

Hearing Wen Liangren's question, Chi Mengli did not answer immediately. Instead, he took a sip of Perrier and touched the smooth fiberglass of the yacht. After a minute of silence, he gave an answer: "My boss Robin said a lot of things, most of which were bullshit."

"If gangsters understood culture and knew when to advance and when to retreat, they wouldn't have become gangsters and committed crimes."

"Even an idiot, if he talks enough, will come up with one or two wise sayings. There is one saying that I remember very clearly, which is that the young and dangerous are poor at midnight, rich at dawn, and covered with white cloth at dawn." "So the sons and daughters of Jianghu make as much money as they can while they are at the forefront of the storm, and then buy land in the New Territories to build tenement buildings and spend their old age in peace."

"Wen Sheng, you want to ask, how long can a handsome boy like me live freely? If the stack does not make a sound, the treasure cannot be placed on me. After all, it is real money!"

"Young man, your brain is sharp."

"I am old now, and I have lost all my ambition."

Wen Liangren poured himself a glass of champagne, took a sip, and when he felt the temperature was just right, he drank it all in one gulp.

The yacht blew a whistle and the propeller started to turn. The huge thrust was transmitted to the hull. The yacht drew a graceful arc on the water and then headed towards Lamma Island.

"Sometimes ambition is a good thing, sometimes it's a bad thing. Times make heroes, and I feel the current momentum is good."

"I have a bottom line and a bit of a bad conscience. I won't touch Miss Bai. My lackeys all come from poor backgrounds and want to make money. I know a little bit about business, so I can still control the people under me."

"Miss Bai is someone who has no other options. If there are too many drug addicts and dead Taoist friends, the world will be in chaos."

"When the world is in chaos, it's hard for everyone to do business."

"Don't worry, I will never follow the old path of my big brother Robin."

If you want to reach a cooperation, you must make the boss feel at ease. Chi Mengli said that he is different from the monsters outside and will never engage in heinous activities.

Gangs are different from societies. Societies are just a group of poor people who stick together to make a living and work as gangsters. Only those who have nowhere else to go will become gangsters.

"The generals of the incompetent leader left, and the old friends became distant due to the long illness."

“If you choose the right path, your wealth and honor will last forever.”

"Five years ago, I approached your boss Robin. He agreed to it at first, but soon broke his promise."

"To put it bluntly, we all started from the same mud, and most of the capital we used to start our business was stained with blood. We shouldn't look down on each other, but once you become a dragon, you have to wash off the mud, put on a suit and tie, and start doing legitimate business."

"To put it nicely, it means to be clean and honest, but to put it bluntly, it means to turn against one's parents."

"My father always liked to tell me stories about the Water Margin, but he would only tell me for a few minutes each time before switching to unofficial historical stories."

"He said that after the treacherous minister Gao Qiu came to power in the Northern Song Dynasty, he called all his former cronies together and had his soldiers beat each of them with a stick, then gave each of them a sum of money to indicate that their relationship was over."

"I made a mistake. I also gave Robin some money to end our relationship."

"But Robin held a grudge against me, played a little trick on me, and put me on the foreigners' blacklist. Whenever I boarded a ship, the customs would send people to search it."

"This whole process has delayed me for at least three years."

“Time is more valuable than gold. I am willing to spend money to buy back time, but this is just wishful thinking.”

"I was wondering if you were ready to wash the dirt off your feet?"

Wen Liangren placed the goblet in his hand on the table and waited earnestly for Chi Mengli's answer.
