Reborn in 1970, I thrived in Hong Kong.

In just one day, with the power of money, Li Huai-ren borrowed the methods and traffic-generating secrets used by mainland entertainment companies in his previous life to package and hype up young idols, and seized the mentality of many people in Asia who admired the United States at that time, and forcibly transformed Teresa Teng into an Asian diva.

He was the first to coin the term "Asian Queen of Pop," and Teresa Teng was the first to receive this title. Li Huai-ren planned to bestow the title of "World Queen of Pop" upon Teresa Teng after she released a few more albums.

That evening, before Li Huai-ren and Teresa Teng left Phoenix Records, the sales figures for the first day in Hong Kong had already been tallied, totaling 18980 records sold!

Teresa Teng was finally at peace.

Once she felt at ease, Teresa Teng completely overturned all of Li Huai-ren's previous and present understanding of her. She was gentle and affectionate, her sweet voice soft and tender, so sweet that it touched his heart and lungs, leaving him unable to resist.

If it weren't for the old Taoist priest Zhang Quanyi's prior instruction that he must not share a room with a woman for three years, Li Huai-ren, whose heart was already filled with uncontrollable desire, would definitely have turned Teresa Teng from a young girl into... cough cough cough... that very night.

That evening, unable to do anything wrong, Li Huai-ren reluctantly followed Qiao Wu to a beach in the New Territories in order to cool down the burning fire in his heart.

The saying "money makes the world go round" is absolutely true.

If you don't believe me, just look at the sea north of the New Territories. A blond, blue-eyed foreigner in a police uniform is standing on the gunwale of a patrol boat, with a young man named Piggy standing next to him. He is personally escorting dozens of small fishing boats coming from the north.

Fearing that these small fishing boats might capsize and lose a lot of money, the foreigner even ordered that the patrol boats' lights be constantly used to illuminate and guide these small fishing boats.

At 2 a.m., a total of 688 people safely disembarked and boarded the large trucks rented by Qiao Wu in batches to go to the Phoenix Film City construction site in Tseung Kwan O, where simple prefabricated houses had already been set up for everyone to stay in for a few days.

In the coming days, some people will join Li Huai-ren's security team, some will be assigned to work at Phoenix Hardware & Plastics Factory, those with education will be assigned to work at newspapers, television stations and other organizations, and some young and strong people will be assigned to work as security guards in companies under Li Huai-ren's control.

Li Huai-ren would naturally not let go of such a good opportunity to win people's hearts.

He also came to the Tseung Kwan O Film City construction site and immediately gave everyone HK$100 in cash, distributed several large truckloads of various daily necessities, oil, rice, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea, and decided on the spot to give everyone two sets of clothes, saying that someone would come here to take measurements the next day!

After such a series of clever maneuvers, how could these 688 penniless newcomers, men, women, and children, not be extremely grateful to Li Huai-ren?

Of course, there are ungrateful people at any time and in any place, but that's a minority and we'll leave that aside for now. Let's not argue.

The next day, Teresa Teng, who was already known as the Queen of Asia by various Asian media outlets and was at the height of her fame, hurriedly went to Phoenix Records after breakfast.

The person accompanying her was a young woman around twenty years old. She was Qiao Wu's younger sister, Qiao Yue, a lay disciple of Longhu Mountain, and had excellent martial arts skills.

After discovering that Teresa Teng and Li Huai-ren were holding hands yesterday, Qiao Wu took the initiative last night to recommend his younger sister to Li Huai-ren, so that his sister could become Teresa Teng's personal bodyguard.

Li Huai-ren readily agreed and gave Qiao Yue a part-time job, making her Deng Lijun's assistant.

Teresa Teng and Chiao Yue rode in the car that Li Huai-ren had recently bought for Teresa Teng to the record company to begin the promotional tour for her new album. Li Huai-ren then went out as well, heading directly to Chung Chu-hung's Chung's Women's Clothing Store.

Speaking of Chung Chu-hung's family, during this year's Spring Festival, they received a workwear order from Li Huai-ren. After successfully completing the order, Chung's parents took over the Chung's Women's Clothing store and the house above the store.

Subsequently, as the number of employees in Li Huai-ren's various companies continued to increase, all workwear orders were naturally handed over to Zhong's Women's Clothing Store.

As a result, Chung Chu-hung's family income is naturally much higher than Li Huai-ren's in his previous life, and they now have some savings.

Mrs. Zhong was a very superstitious person. In her opinion, the increasingly prosperous business of Zhong's women's clothing store and the ever-increasing income of her family were definitely due to the good fortune and wealth brought by Li Huai-ren, who was possessed by the God of Wealth, on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Therefore, every time she saw Li Huai-ren, she would ask him about his well-being and show him extra care, treating him even better than her own children.

Unfortunately, Li Huai-ren was somewhat of a mama's boy in his previous life, and his mother passed away early in this life, so he thoroughly enjoyed the love and care from Zhong's mother.

Over time, Zhong's mother and Li Huai-ren gradually developed a mother-son-like relationship. Their words and actions became less formal and more sincere, genuine, and spontaneous.

Sure enough, Li Huai-ren parked his car near the Zhong's women's clothing store. As soon as he got out, Zhong's mother saw him and casually said:

"Ah Ren, what brings you here today? I made some mung bean soup to cool you down. Go upstairs and get some for yourself."

Li Huai-ren casually replied:

"Okay, sure."

Upon entering the store, Li Huai-ren casually placed his briefcase on a chair and said to Mrs. Zhong:

"Auntie, I'll go upstairs for some mung bean soup later. I'm here today to place an order for over 1,300 sets of clothes, just regular clothes will do."

However, you'll have to go to the Phoenix Film City construction site in Tseung Kwan O, which we visited last time, and do the work of registering the clothing sizes for 688 people.

Oh, and don't try to save me money. The fabric doesn't have to be the best, but it has to be substantial, durable, and sturdy.

Mrs. Zhong no longer showed the excitement and thrill she had felt during the Spring Festival when she received the large workwear order; she simply nodded calmly.

"No problem. Your uncle just went out to take measurements. Once Ah Hong, that damn woman, comes back, let her mind the shop. I'll head to Tseung Kwan O right away."

Looking up at Li Huai-ren, Madam Zhong sighed inwardly:

"Hey, Ah Ren is six years older than Ah Hong, their ages are just right."

But Ah Hong, that damn girl, never gives Ah Ren a friendly look. With that kind of temper and personality, there's no way Ah Ren will like her when they grow up.

Just then, a still somewhat childish female voice suddenly came from the shop entrance:

"Li, you scoundrel, what brings you here again?"

Chung's mother and Li Huai-ren immediately turned around and saw Chung Chu-hung holding a record. Who else could it be but Teresa Teng on the record cover?

Behind her were three younger siblings, their mouths pouting so high they could already hang oil bottles on their arms.

Judging from their expressions and the new album of Teresa Teng she was holding, there was no need to ask Ah Gui; their allowance had definitely been "borrowed" by their eldest sister.

The news that Teresa Teng had released a new all-English album caused quite a stir in the city yesterday. Mrs. Chung naturally knew about it, and she also knew that the album was not affordable for ordinary people, with a uniform retail price of US$8 throughout Asia!

Eight US dollars, which is several tens of Hong Kong dollars, is almost a week's salary for an average worker.

Madam Zhong was used to being frugal, how could she tolerate this? She was about to explode and confer a title upon Zhong Chuhong, teaching her a lesson.

But then she remembered Li Huai-ren beside her, and her fighting power, which was normally a 12-point female tyrant, immediately dropped by half and then by another half. The words "dead woman" were swallowed back, and her tone plummeted from 100 points of anger to around 10.

"My dear, Teresa Teng sang in a language you don't understand, so why don't you return the record?"
