My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 853 Taking an inch and wanting a mile
But Cheng Lang was right.

In just over a month, Wei Dong went to Beijing twice, and although he only stayed for about a week each time, the significance of each trip was earth-shattering.

Now I can finally relax at home: "If it weren't for checking the progress of the Cherokee supply chain, I wouldn't have gone there. But the main purpose of going there is to guide good college students. Even if it causes all sorts of speculation, I won't relax. So many students who have studied hard for ten years cannot be at a loss in the face of major changes. I must help them confirm their direction, but the commotion is indeed too big."

From the appliances to the sofas, from the decor to the furnishings, the room exudes a sense of luxury, and many of the items are imported goods that Qin Yuye recently purchased from Citibank.

Cheng Lang sat in the American-style minimalist sofa, still exuding an air of otherworldly elegance in his traditional Chinese Tang suit.
"In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao commented that Yuan Shao was fierce in appearance but cowardly in reality, good at scheming but indecisive, he was afraid of losing his life when it came to great things, but he was willing to risk his life for small gains. He was not a hero. This is also what I admire most about you, my lord. You have a long-term vision on major issues of right and wrong. This makes me ashamed to admit that I am not as good as you."

Wei Dong sensed an increasingly candid attitude: "You're not beating around the bush, are you? I am a womanizer, am I?"

Cheng Lang smiled calmly: "Master is joking. 'Being fierce but cowardly' is just an act of putting on a show of power when you're actually timid. Master is quite bold."

Wei Dong shook his head: "I'm very timid. When I first started selling cured meat, I was worried about being caught every moment. The first time I took a motorboat to deliver cured meat to Jiangzhou, I encountered a group of thieves stealing and picking on the way, but I didn't dare to say a word. In the end, I farted and alerted people, which saved Li Xuehong. I didn't know her at the time, but we met again a few years later, so she must be very loyal to me."

Qin Yuye, who was originally holding his arm intimately like an empress, was so surprised by the fart that she couldn't suppress her smile. In the end, after explaining Li Xuehong's background, she was already smiling charmingly.

Before Wei Dong realized he was flirting with his wife, he continued talking to Cheng Lang: "But even though we're from the same hometown, You Qili is the one who's really audacious..."

List out the reputation that You Qili has earned for himself in Beijing this time.

Cheng Lang made no attempt to hide the fact that he knew this person: "Why did you use him, boss? He didn't end up well. If you want to find talent, there are plenty of options. I can point you out many professional and useful people in Hong Kong."

Wei Dong thought to himself, "Do I dare to use the people you selected?"

But more importantly: "I know him inside and out, and his growth trajectory is within my expectations. I want to see how far he can go in his most bizarre and glorious end. In a sense, he is a guiding light for me."

Cheng Lang nodded: "I hope I'll have the chance to meet this person next time. I'll be responsible for startling and persuading him; that's my job."

Wei Dong laughed: "That's true. Just wait and see. There should be an opportunity soon. He's doing business near Guangzhou. Try to bring him to Hong Kong and see how he fares in the face of the glitz and glamour of capitalism."

Cheng Lang asked again, "So, will the employer be based in Hong Kong long-term from now on?"

Wei Dong nodded: "Actually, my biggest feeling during this trip to Beijing is that there is no such thing as a great reputation. What am I? I just took advantage of some tricks. It's good enough that I can help ignite and boost various businesses and manufacturing industries as soon as possible. I will never think that my businesses in the mainland can dominate the market forever. We should let go and let everyone drive the economic boom and develop naturally. Next, we will focus on doing a good job in Hong Kong for the next ten years."

Cheng Lang bowed deeply, saying, "Our boss is very righteous. In a time when there is gold everywhere, the best way is to let go and not be greedy. I have seen so many wealthy businessmen in Hong Kong, and none of them have let this opportunity pass them by."

Wei Dong still took it as flattery: "So, how do you think I should proceed with my affairs in Hong Kong?"

Cheng Lang responded with ease: "I was listening in on the sidelines when my employer was negotiating with the Basketball Association. I finally understand my employer's strategy. It may seem that the title of president of the Basketball Association is insignificant in the social sports field, but first of all, it is a label that allows social elites to enter the inner circle. My employer will then become a person who can stand on equal footing with the major families, unlike me when I came to Hong Kong more than ten years ago and was still a lonely ghost."

Wei Dong insisted on not being moved by the old man: "Well, in the long run, basketball will always be a good stepping stone, just like how Hong Kong tycoons strive to become Justices of the Peace. Specifically, what do you think is the most concrete thing to do right now?"

Unexpectedly, Cheng Lang was very specific: "Master, go to Yuen Long. You might meet someone who needs you, and take the whole family on a trip to the countryside."

Wei Dong teased him, "You're not setting a trap for me, are you? You've arranged for five hundred axemen to hack me to death there, are you?"

Cheng Lang laughed: "That's right. Since the boss wants to do business in Hong Kong for a long time, he can't avoid this kind of gang situation. Does he want the third wife to deal with gangsters and take risks? The boss needs people to do the dirty work for you."

This made Wei Dong frown and think.

It's common knowledge that people in the Hong Kong film industry resort to guns to secure release dates and film contracts.

Even if the city's public security isn't as exaggerated as depicted in Hong Kong movies, it's still a situation fraught with undercurrents.

At least when he had no gun to protect himself, he really could only rely on a few Taoist priests.
But when he asked who was doing the dirty work, the top-notch feng shui master only said that he would know when he went to see for himself: "I'll go with them. If there are executioners, they'll chop me down first."

Everyone thought he was joking.

Qin Yuye was secretly pleased, "Third Sister, hehe."

Even after getting into bed late at night, he was still pleased that this nickname would probably follow him for the rest of his life. He was even happier that Wei Dong would take the initiative to explain Li Xuehong's relationship, which showed that he was considering his wife's feelings.

Wei Dong was baffled. Laozi meant that the two fellow villagers received vastly different treatment, but Li Xuehong clearly lacked You Qili's pioneering spirit.

Maintaining the status quo may be where her true strength lies.

It's a bit too early to say that.

Qin Yuye didn't care; if a woman wanted to please her husband, she would definitely serve him well.

The main reason is that she was able to practice the Dragon Tiger Technique during her trip back, which is quite remarkable.

Truly like a tiger with wings, a dragon soaring in the sky!

However, even though Wei Dong had to practice basketball with Camp early the next morning for an hour before heading to Pengzhen, Eleven Sister still didn't dare to say she wanted to enjoy a few more days of alone time with Wei Dong.

I know I can't wait.

Wei Dong drove to an inconspicuous parking lot, and Lao Fang took over in his Mitsubishi SUV. Compared to the public transport system, this was definitely much faster.

I specifically asked the driver to take a look around Yuen Long.

It's a remote rural area near Pengzhen, facing the aircraft carrier in Pengzhen Bay. Those who swim across probably land here.

Wei Dong thought Cheng Lang was going to give him some pointers on the Big Circle Boys or the Hong Kong and Guangdong gangsters.

Of course, you can't see anything.

When asked, the two Taoist priests who were following them clearly hadn't learned the divine wisdom of their grandmaster and knew nothing.

During the 40-50 kilometer journey, Wei Dong also asked the driver if they were carrying handguns and diplomatic passports.

This left Wei Dong somewhat frustrated; he clearly had a gun addiction.

But he also knew that if he actually went and got a diplomatic passport or illegally carried firearms, that would be a different story, and he wouldn't become a social celebrity.

The newspaper I bought this morning already had news that Bo Tsai-tung is expected to become the president of the Basketball Association and that he has made a bold statement that he will lead the basketball team to win the Olympic championship!

After pondering all the way, my heart still warmed when I saw Shen Cuiyue.

It's been two months since we last met.

She stood gracefully in a light blue suit dress in front of the city construction company's office building.

More importantly, everyone would take a second look at the expectant look.

When Wei Dong got off the bus in front of her, she realized, "Oh my, you're wearing makeup."

No matter how her family taught her before, her style of dressing was always the same old style. It was only after meeting Qin Yuye that she learned a lot.

But now it seems to have been upgraded and evolved, becoming more refined and eye-catching.

In addition, her long hair was meticulously and neatly combed into a side part and then tightly pinned up at the back of her head.

She has become much more mature and dignified.

She just laughed, her expression a little messy: "Women dress up to please themselves, I wish you, sir, that your fame will spread far and wide once again."

Wei Dong was immediately shocked: "What kind of reputation have you seen?!"

Shen Cuiyue finally couldn't hold back and reached out to hug the unusually playful Rang Weidong, pressing her face against his chest and whimpering, "I missed you..."

It seems she was the one who said it before: the difference between a master having only one concubine and having countless concubines.

Anyway, Wei Dong naturally reached out and hugged her back, patting her gently a few times: "Okay, I'll go back to Hong Kong after I finish my business."

Then he caught sight of Mao'er Shitou sitting in the security room of the office building, and smiled and waved: "Want to go back to Jiangzhou? Lamu and Zhuoma filmed a music video this time."

The siblings, still determined that wherever their elder brother went, that was home.

Wei Dong should go and report to Lao Fang first.

Actually, Wei Dong didn't need to say much about the progress in Pingjing and Huhai; he had various channels and knew more about it than he did: "I thought you were going to take advantage of this momentum to stay in Pingjing or Huhai to work."

Let Wei Dong first describe the trouble that You Qili caused: "I'm not here to be a pioneer of reform. I just want to assist with more work. For example, this time when we contacted the plateau, we need to immediately mobilize twenty or thirty refrigerated containers and several container trucks to test the effectiveness of plateau refrigerated transportation. If it works, it will be of great significance to the national refrigerated container industry and the income generation of livestock farming in the plateau province."

Old Fang indeed knew about the relationship between Yu Songhai and Rang Weidong: "So birds of a feather flock together. His intention in building this high-end hotel on the plateau is the same as the significance of me building a hotel here. There are always some people who can't see the future of this kind of development. You should go and mobilize the container shipping company to give it their full support."

To make sure Wei Dong was in a good mood, he carefully made time for the last main point: "Well... you know that the HK men's basketball team beat the national team to win the Asian Championship a few days ago?"

Old Fang's expression turned smug and gloating, a far cry from his previous serious and sharp demeanor: "Of course I know, the Hong Kong newspapers are in an uproar, hehehe, it's just that some information hasn't spread yet. Once someone deliberately passes this information to the higher-ups, you'll probably have to go to Beijing to apologize again!"

Wei Dong asked anxiously, "Do you know that this time, only the champion team will qualify for the Olympics?"

Old Fang's eyes widened, and it took him several seconds to raise his finger and point at Wei Dong, who was both amused and exasperated: "How could you have done something like this!"

Even Lao Qi from Zhuan'ertai wasn't quite clear about the rules and qualifications, and Lao Fang, who didn't usually watch basketball or care about sports events, was even less familiar with them.

But Wei Dong still dared to push his luck: "Since things have come to this, could you help me act as a peacemaker and assist me in selecting some top players from the national team and the national youth team to join the HK team..."

He then pushed over the newspaper article from this morning that said he was going to become the president of the basketball association.
