Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 84 Twisting the Little Notebook (First Update, Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

When Ma Shengli received Li Song's call, he came over with Section Chief Zhou and Liu Qing. Both Ma Shengli and Liu Qing had a bump on their foreheads.

"I'll leave the factory matters to everyone from now on. I'm going back to Hong Kong Island tomorrow." Li Song spoke first after preparing a large table of dishes for dinner, including clear mutton soup, braised mutton, salted mutton, and other dishes.

"Don't worry, boss!"

"We will definitely follow the rules and regulations," the others said.

Ma Shengli also chimed in, "We will definitely pave the way for the factory's development."

"Thank you," Li Song said.

Li Song doesn't drink, but the others do.

After the meal, Li Song invited Ma Shengli to his office for tea, along with Liu Qing and Section Chief Zhou.

“I’m going back to Hong Kong Island tomorrow. About two weeks later, I want to go back to my hometown of Chang’an. Recently, a small but large company wants to buy my motorcycle patent. These guys are a bit unruly. I’ve already entrusted an agency to contact them, but I didn’t expect them to send someone from the underworld to me.”

“Hong Kong Island is a port, and anyone can go in. I’m a little worried because I don’t have many of my own people with me. There are some things I can’t trouble Mr. Ma with.” Li Song was about to pour tea for the group when Liu Qing quickly busied herself with it, and Li Song spoke up.

“That’s no problem. Mr. Li can go back whenever he wants. Little Benzi doesn’t follow the rules. He did the same thing when he caused trouble in our country back then. Is Mr. Li planning to find people from his hometown?” Ma Shengli asked.

"Well, find some fellow apprentices, and also some people willing to come with me to Hong Kong Island. We'll give them a settling-in allowance first." The reason Li Song brought this up in advance was simply to say, "If you want to place people, hurry up and do it. I'll pretend I don't know."

Ma Shengli roughly understood Li Song's meaning, but Ma Shengli understood something else entirely: the people behind Li Song probably didn't want to send more people to protect Li Song, nor did they want people with certain backgrounds from the mainland to appear around Li Song.

However, Li Song went back to his hometown to find people for his own safety, so his side could plant some people in advance.

Ma Shengli and others now have no doubt about the powerful background of the person behind Li Song, because they later discovered more surprising things.

That means that a helicopter training ship cannot cross the Atlantic, Mediterranean, and Indian Ocean when it is almost fully loaded. In other words, this training ship is hidden on other ships and then released when it arrives at the destination.

That's terrifying; only a very few ships can transport goods like that.

“Yes, that’s your prerogative, sir.” Ma Shengli nodded.

The group chatted for a while, and then Li Song saw the three off. He would write a manuscript that evening.

On March 22, 1980, the sixth day of the second lunar month, a Saturday, Li Song and two legal assistants, Tian Jiahui, set off for Hong Kong Island.

"Old Tian, ​​tell Zhang Dehua that we'll leave the patent licensing to him from now on. But I can't talk to Xiaobenzi about it; they don't follow the rules. You can let Zhang Dehua handle it himself," Li Song said to Tian Jiahui after they got off the ship.

“Okay, I’ll go find Zhang Dehua.” Tian Jiahui nodded.

"As for the underworld figures, check who's helping Little Notebook and whether they have any enemies. I can't help with other things, but I have whatever supplies they need," Li Song added.

"Understood, boss. I'll get back to you as soon as possible." Tian Jiahui nodded. Of course, he knew about the supplies Li Song was talking about, but he needed to find out first who was working for Xiaobenzi.

Then Li Song didn't go to the company, but went straight home, tidied up, and then went to pick up Alin from school.

When Arlene came out on vacation, she saw Li Song at the agreed-upon place. Arlene had mixed feelings about Li Song; she couldn't stand being with him, but she missed him when they were apart.

Then they went to a restaurant to eat before returning home, where Arlene was subjected to another violent shock.

It was only then that Arlene realized what it meant to be unable to resist.

"Brother Song, what do you think I should do after graduation?" Ah Lin lay in Li Song's arms, feeling a little lost about her future.

"You can do whatever you want, I'll support you." Li Song, having released a week's worth of pent-up emotions, answered cheerfully.

"I don't know either." Arlene really didn't know what she wanted to do.

"If you don't want me to, I'll support you," Li Song said directly. Women provide emotional value to men, so men pay money in return; this is considered an equal exchange.

"This isn't a good idea, it just doesn't sound good." Arlene was feeling a bit lost. She didn't feel safe with Li Song because she didn't know what bad things he might do, and what would happen if he ran away one day. Would she be implicated?

Arlene wanted to ask but didn't dare. If she knew too much, it might cause her... well, you know.

She wanted to leave Li Song, but she couldn't bear to. Li Song was young and energetic, and he also had such a big house...

"I'll give you a gift when you graduate." Li Song decided to give Alin a gift after she graduated: a pink diamond that a diamond merchant on a second-hand diamond platform had given him. Although the clarity wasn't quite right, it was big enough and quite valuable in this world. He would find someone to set it and get a certificate of authenticity.

"Okay, what's the gift?" Arlene asked expectantly.

"Let's talk about it after you graduate."

"Have you rested enough? Come on..."

"Brother Song, rest a little longer..."

"Take a break on Monday."

Meanwhile, in a private room at a restaurant, Zhang Dehua and Tian Jiahui had just finished their meal and were drinking tea together.

"These bastards, they've already collected ten times the consultation fee, and now they think they can get away with it!" After receiving Tian Jiahui's call, Zhang Dehua invited Tian Jiahui for tea.

Regarding the patent licensing matter, Zhang Dehua still needs to see Li Song's reaction. If Li Song is unwilling, then no matter how much Xiaoben tries, it will be useless.

"Dehua, you're doing worse and worse. Someone's actually setting their sights on you." Tian Jiahui knew that Zhang Dehua had his own connections to run this kind of international patent agency business; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to make it work at all.

"Jiahui, what does your boss think?" Zhang Dehua quickly poured tea for Tian Jiahui.

“My boss said that Xiaobenzi’s rule-breaking approach will never get him authorization. You can do whatever you want to them. There’s no way they can get around you!” Tian Jiahui said, taking the tea.

"That's good. As long as Mr. Li has expressed his opinion, that's all that matters. But would it be troublesome for Mr. Li to sign an authorization contract? That way, I can really give those little devils a good beating," Zhang Dehua quickly said.
