Hong Kong Nights of Passion

Chapter 51 We're birds of a feather.

Chi Yige stepped out of the hotel and watched as two figures got into a car and drove away without even saying goodbye.

Little heartless.

He chuckled self-deprecatingly, having at least taken care of her for half the night.

Only after the car had completely disappeared did he turn around and get into the waiting sedan.

As soon as the car door closed, Xiao Li, who was sitting in the driver's seat, began to report on the itinerary.

Chi Yige stared coldly at his back, then suddenly asked, "What did the old man tell you to spy on me for?"

Xiao Li tightened his grip on the steering wheel: "Young Master, the Master only asked me to remind you to take a rest."

"Li Mingyi".

Chi Yige's voice turned cold, "You'd better think carefully, do you want to be one of my people, or the old man's spy?"

Xiao Li's face turned pale, but he finally gritted his teeth and said, "The master told me to keep an eye on which noble ladies you are interested in and report back immediately."

Chi Yige nodded, his tone devoid of warmth: "I have no room for fickle people around me."

Xiao Li's Adam's apple bobbed twice, and his back was soaked with cold sweat. "Young Master, you gave me my life! From now on, I will only listen to you."

Chi Yige stared at his reddened eyes through the rearview mirror for a long time before turning his head to signal him to drive.

As the engine roared to life, the black sedan sped off toward Victoria Peak.

Meanwhile, Wen Jinian and Fu Yiyi were at an art training institution on the 96th floor, their fingertips brushing against imported Italian environmentally friendly wall paint.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the sea of ​​clouds surges, while inside, top-of-the-line digital painting equipment gleams with a cool light. The custom-made easels and fresh air system are both industry-leading features.

"To make money from the rich, you have to use the best things."

She smiled and signed the final piece on the construction drawings, saying, "Inspection next week. Not a single screw can be missing."

Fu Yiyi pulled Wen Jinnian into the newly decorated office lounge and raised an eyebrow at her: "Look, this is your territory from now on."

The entire space has a retro European and American style, with warm yellow wall lamps paired with leather sofas, and a lounge area with a recliner in the corner.

Wen Jinian's eyes reddened, and she suddenly came up and gave Fu Yiyi a hug: "Yiyi, thank you!"

"Stop it."

She pushed her away, saying, "My office is right next door, with the exact same layout."

"We're birds of a feather."

These words left Wen Jinnian speechless, unsure whether to laugh or cry. Who would insult themselves like that?

"Don't worry! I'll definitely make you more money!"

Wen Jinnian raised her hand in agreement.

"To be honest, I signed an unfair contract with my dad. If this training room doesn't make money, he'll take the shop away and force me to go back to work in the family business."

Fu Yiyi had a bitter expression on her face.

"Isn't it good to gain experience in a family business?"

Wen Jinian looked puzzled.

Fu Yiyi walked to the sofa and sat down, quite satisfied with the renovation.

"No way, I just want to do what I like."

The two chatted as they walked around the training room again, even repeatedly checking the placement of the green plants in the corners.

"Now all that's left is to promote the program and recruit students."

Fu Yiyi stroked her chin, pondering, "I'll ask my brother for help with this."

Wen Jinian instantly perked up, staring at her with shining eyes: "Just who is your brother? He sounds incredibly powerful!"

Fu Yiyi: "..."

He cursed Chi Yige inwardly.

Just now in the car, Nian Nian was gritting her teeth and saying that Chi Yige was a "perverted monster who must be avoided."

If someone were to say that the big Buddha statue was her brother, Nian Nian might just break off all ties with her.

Fu Yiyi unconsciously fiddled with the seat, and after thinking it over, decided to keep it a secret for now: "My brother is a really nice guy. I'll find a chance to introduce you two. Maybe you'll even fall in love with him!"

Wen Jinnian raised an eyebrow and teased, "Sure, maybe I'll become your sister-in-law in the future, so you'll have to get used to calling me sister-in-law in advance!" Fu Yiyi chuckled and called her sister-in-law a few times, then pulled her towards the end of the corridor, "Come on, it looks like they're renovating up ahead, let's see what new stores they're opening."

The two bickered all the way until they stopped in front of the spacious, single-level apartment.

-

Office of the General Manager of Jiang's Group.

The assistant respectfully handed the documents to Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu leaned back in his leather office chair, his long, slender fingers lightly tapping the armrest. He raised his eyes and said coldly, "What else did the Zhou family say?"

"Miss Zhou went to the old mansion to find the young master, and the Zhou family patriarch also went to see the chairman."

Jiang Shu waited for him to continue with a cold face.

The assistant swallowed hard. "The Zhou family hopes to continue the engagement and is even willing to offer the Causeway Bay pier as part of the dowry..."

Jiang Shu suddenly sneered, his eyes full of mockery: "They really have the nerve! They gave me such a huge cuckold's horns, and they still use the docks as bargaining chips?"

"Young Master, the Chairman specifically instructed you not to manipulate the trending topics anymore."

The assistant cautiously reminded him, "He said that if this gets out, it will damage the Jiang family's reputation."

"Reputation?" Jiang Shu suddenly stood up, scattering the documents all over the floor.

"He's only thinking about the Jiang family's reputation? He thinks that by letting me marry an unclean woman, the Jiang family will be able to gain a foothold in the industry? That's ridiculous!"

The assistant hung his head, not daring to breathe, and let Jiang Shu throw the documents hard on the ground.

He silently squatted down to gather the scattered papers, and just as his fingertips touched the edge of the documents, his phone suddenly rang.

He answered the phone, listened for a while, then looked up at Jiang Shu, his voice trembling.

"Young Master! Assistant Li from Chijiang Group called. The young master of the Chi family invites you to a gathering at 8 PM tonight."

Jiang Shu couldn't help but be surprised, because this young master of the Chi family always kept to himself, and usually only a handful of people could accompany him.

In the past, if we happened to meet him at various banquets and dinners and were able to exchange a few words with him, it was considered that we were favored by him and given face.

But why did I suddenly decide to look for him this time?
After thinking for a moment, he instructed his assistant to reply to the other party that he would definitely keep the appointment on time.

7pm.

Jiang Shu arrived at 8 Observatory Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon on time.

He straightened his suit and walked up to the fifth floor where the Nanbeihui Restaurant was located.

This restaurant is known as the pinnacle of private dining in the port area, offering exceptional privacy. Each private room is an independent space that combines dining and entertainment, equipped with a KTV and a private restroom.

He raised his hand to knock on the door, then pushed it open and entered.

Inside the private room, Chi Yige was sitting on the sofa typing on his laptop.

Hearing the sound, he looked up, casually closed his laptop, stood up, and pulled out a chair next to the dining table: "Young Master Jiang, please sit here."

After taking their seats, Chi Yige pulled out the menu, skillfully ordered several signature dishes, and then pushed the menu in front of Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu glanced at the menu, ordered a few more items, and then the waiter took the menu and left.

Chi Yige picked up the white porcelain cup and took a sip of Wuyi Da Hong Pao tea.

It has a rich aroma, reminiscent of orchids, and a mellow, sweet aftertaste.

He got straight to the point.
"Your father insisted on taking over those Southeast Asian ports back then."

Chi Yige twirled the gilded teacup, his icy gaze sweeping over the other man's tense jaw.

"The shipping market is currently sluggish, and maintenance costs alone could bankrupt half the company. Not to mention the shareholders on the board who are clinging to outdated ideas."

He suddenly chuckled, his voice trailing off with a meaningful tone, "I heard that Young Master Jiang has been practically wearing down the threshold of the Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce lately because of his investment plans?"

Jiang Shu nearly lost his grip on the teacup.

He lowered his eyes and stared at the ripples spreading across the glass, his Adam's apple bobbing but he remained silent.

Chi Yige even knew the most secret financial hole in the Jiang Group.

too frightening.

"What brilliant idea does Your Highness have?" Jiang Shu asked, trying to appear calm.
