Hong Kong variety show: The tycoon who emerged from Portland Street

After leaving Robinson's office, Chen Mo called Li Jie and drove to Long Wei's house.

Inside the car, Chen Mo asked, "Ah Jie, I said before that after you took your revenge, whether you stay or leave was up to you."

Now that you've taken your revenge, what are your plans?

Although Li Jie is a rare talent, Chen Mo has many retired soldiers under his command, so Li Jie is not irreplaceable.

The condition Chen Mo initially agreed to with him was that Li Jie could stay or leave as he pleased after taking revenge.

If Chen Mo hadn't brought it up, Li Jie might have continued doing it this way.

However, to avoid creating any rift, Chen Mo still felt it would be better to ask Li Jie's opinion.

Moreover, Chen Mo felt there was a high probability that Li Jie would stay, since Chen Mo could see the loyalty level above his head.

Li Jie was driving in the front for Chen Mo, and when he heard Chen Mo's words, he didn't answer immediately.

He was willing to stay because Chen Mo knew about the doctor and promised to help him find the doctor and take revenge.

Actually, he didn't want to associate with the underworld.

However, after spending more than six months together, Li Jie discovered that Chen Mo was different from other gangsters.

They neither bully men nor oppress women, nor are they arrogant and domineering.

Aside from killing people and seizing territory, Chen Mo didn't do much gangster stuff; instead, he focused on legitimate business.

This changed Li Jie's impression of Chen Mo quite a bit.

Especially a few days ago, Chen Mo risked danger to personally kill the doctor in order to help him get revenge.

In Li Jie's eyes, this was a favor.

What he did for Chen Mo during this time was far from enough to repay Chen Mo's kindness to him.

After a moment, Li Jie spoke up: "Brother Mo, I want to stay."

Chen Mo smiled with satisfaction upon hearing Li Jie's reply.

"That's right. Once Robinson Crusoe acquires the security company, he'll put you in charge."

All the guys at the training ground were hired by a security company and then transferred to the training base in Shek O.

At the current training ground, a dozen or so brothers remain as instructors to continue training the younger ones.

Since Shen Guodong recruited the second batch of veterans, Chen Mo's military training has been suspended.

The reason is simple: the training ground is full.

Once the training base in Shek O is established, and the veterans move there, the military training in Tsuen Wan can certainly continue.

The difference in combat power between trained and untrained henchmen is significant.

"I understand, I'll make the arrangements later." Li Jie nodded.

Chen Mo suddenly remembered something else.

"Ah Jie, I remember at the Cointreau Hotel, that female reporter seemed quite interested in you. How are things going now? Have you taken things further?"

Chen Mo was initially somewhat interested in Le Huizhen.

However, Chen Mo had already had an in-depth conversation with Ding Yao, and he wasn't very interested in Le Huizhen, who was similar to him.

Moreover, she was interested in Li Jie first, and Chen Mo was too lazy to compete with his subordinate for a woman.

Anyway, Chen Mo already has quite a few women, so one more or one less won't make a difference.

Who knows, you might meet another woman who shares the same template as Ding Yao and Le Huizhen in the future!

Upon hearing Chen Mo mention Le Huizhen, Li Jie said somewhat awkwardly, "Brother Mo, Le Huizhen and I are just ordinary friends."

Chen Mo joked, "What do you mean by 'ordinary friends'? I'm not blind. That night, he practically pounced on you."

"I know you can't forget your wife and children. But they've been gone for so long, it's time for you to move on."

People shouldn't always dwell on the past; they should learn to look forward.

I think that female reporter is quite nice. You could try dating her; maybe you two are a good match.

Li Jie said somewhat embarrassedly, "Let's talk about it later. I'm not in the mood for that right now."

Seeing Li Jie's expression, Chen Mo didn't say anything more.

Relationship issues are very private matters, and even if he's the boss, it's not appropriate for him to interfere.

The two chatted casually along the way, and after more than ten minutes, the car stopped in front of Longwei's villa.

Having received a call from Li Jie in advance, and knowing that Chen Mo was coming, Long Wei and his son were already waiting at the door.

"Mr. Chen, your presence truly honors my humble abode! Please come in!"

Longbo was very enthusiastic towards Chen Mo.

He had previously learned about Chen Mo's identity from Charlie Cao.

Even if his son is a kung fu superstar, he's no match for such a triad boss.

"Uncle Long, you're too kind. I've come all this way to bother you, and I'm really causing you trouble," Chen Mo said modestly.

The group entered the living room and sat down on the sofa. Immediately, a Filipino maid brought them tea.

After exchanging pleasantries, Uncle Long asked, "Mr. Chen, what brings you to my humble abode today?"

Chen Mo didn't mince words and said directly, "It's like this, I own a film company and we're currently preparing for our first film."

I would like to invite Mr. Lung Wai to act in my movie.

"This..." Longbo suddenly became somewhat embarrassed.

Although he was afraid of Chen Mo's identity, he was also grateful to Chen Mo for saving them before.

However, Chen Mo is, after all, a member of the underworld.

There are very few legitimate film companies in Hong Kong that are part of the triads.

Chen Mo also said that this is their company's first film, so the production team probably won't be very good.

He was worried that if Lung Wai took on this film, it would affect his future career.

There are many ways to repay a debt of gratitude; it doesn't necessarily have to involve sacrificing one's son's future.

Chen Mo knew what Long Bo was worried about, so he took his bag from Li Jie, took out a script, and handed it to him.

"Uncle Long, the director of my film is Li Yaofu, who should be an old friend of yours. Here is the film script; you can take a look before making a decision."

Of course, if you don't want to, I won't force you.

Upon hearing Li Yaofu's name, Uncle Long felt a little relieved and took the script to read with Long Wei beside him.

In the past few days, Chen Jiamu has revised Qin Huilian's script again, making it even better than before.

After reading the script, both Longbo and Longwei nodded in satisfaction.

Long Wei shoved the script into Long Bo's hands and said, "Mr. Chen, I can act. But can I play the villain?"

Longwei was very satisfied with the script, but he actually preferred the original character Tian Yangsheng to the main character – he was good at fighting and handsome!

Chen Mo's face lit up with joy; it was good that he agreed.

"Of course," Chen Mo replied, then asked with a hint of doubt, "but that role isn't exactly the male lead. Are you sure you want to choose that role, Mr. Long?"

"That's right. I'm a kung fu superstar, of course I have to play the most skilled fighter!"

Longbo also spoke up, "I also think this role is more suitable for Awei. Mr. Chen, let him play this role."

Both father and son thought highly of the role, so Chen Mo was definitely a good fit.

"Then let's talk about the salary. How much are you two looking for?"

"Forget about the payment. Mr. Chen personally came to invite us; he's done us a great favor, how could we possibly accept money!"

Longbo politely declined directly.

He thought that as long as Longwei helped Chen Mo act in the movie, he would have repaid the debt of gratitude.

He didn't want Longwei to have too much to do with the underworld.

Chen Mo understood the meaning behind Long Bo's words, but he had no intention of doing so.

"No, Mr. Long is a big star. He can't come to act in a movie without getting paid."

How about this: you two, father and son, both come to our film crew. Mr. Long will act, and Uncle Long will be the martial arts instructor. I'll give you a package deal: two million. What do you say?
