Hong Kong Variety Show: Let you eat melons, eat melons on your sister-in-law

Chapter 75 "75" Passionate about Charity

The weather was pretty good on Wednesday afternoon.

The parking attendant yawned as he walked out of his dilapidated rented room.

The gangsters' work hours all start in the afternoon.

Parking attendants are no exception.

As he passed the newsstand, the parking attendant subconsciously checked his pockets and found he was out of cigarettes. So he said to the owner, "Boss, a pack of Lucky Strike, please! Hey, 'Jianghu' magazine is still being published as usual? I'll have a copy too!"

The boss expertly handed over a cigarette, saying mysteriously, "This issue of 'Jianghu' has a big scoop!"

Parking attendant instinctively flipped to the end, intending to read the serialized version of "A Step into the Past".

Now that I heard the boss say that, I flipped to the cover.

Sure enough, a rather explosive scene unfolded: Chan Ho-nam, the leader of Hung Hing's Causeway Bay gang, was fighting with the two tigers of Tung Sing.

Although the scene was quite chaotic, the magazine still clearly enlarged the portraits of Chan Ho-nam, Crow, and Smiling Tiger.

The title was even more suggestive: "Tung Sing and Hung Hing Clan Clash, Gangster Storm Erupts!"

"Wow, two big gangs are fighting, this is going to be a big deal!" The valet grabbed the magazine and left, almost forgetting the cigarettes he wanted to buy.

Back at his workplace, he still didn't put down the magazine in his hand.

He only snapped out of his reverie when someone smacked him hard on the head.

"Brother Monkey!" the parking attendant said with a sheepish grin.

This guy called Monkey, dressed like a hippie in a bowler hat, is actually a henchman of Wang Bao, the "Yi" member of the Number Gang. (The guy thrown off the building by Chen Guozhong and his men in the movie "SPL: Sha Po Lang")
The monkey frowned and said to the parking attendant, "What are you looking at?"

"Big news! Hung Hing and Tung Sing are fighting!" Parking attendant quickly pulled out a magazine and handed it to Monkey.

The monkey glanced at it and took it away.

The parking attendant was left dumbfounded: "Boss, I haven't finished watching yet!"

……

There were many similar incidents, and within half a day, news of the fight between Hung Hing and Tung Sing spread throughout Hong Kong.

Many gangs would love for the two behemoths to fight, so they could reap the benefits.

For example, Wo Luen Shing.

Big D was intrigued when he saw the exposé in the magazine.

Even Lin Huai Le was ambitious and prepared to take advantage of this opportunity to cut a piece of the pie from both families.

Unfortunately, Deng Wei rejected all of their suggestions.

Deng Wei is a very steady guy; he will never make a move unless absolutely necessary.

Deng Wei did not agree to the two men's proposal at all.

Big D was naturally very dissatisfied and left grumbling.

However, although Lin Huai Le was dissatisfied, he still held back his anger.

After the two left, Deng Wei looked at the "Jianghu" magazine on the table, shook his head, and muttered to himself, "A magazine can cause trouble for two gangs. I don't know if you did it on purpose or not!"

……

"Achoo!" Lin Yao rubbed his slightly itchy nose and said irritably, "Which beauty is eyeing me again?"

Jimmy poured Lin Yao a cup of tea, somewhat speechless, and said, "You still dare to go out and flirt with other women even though you have a sister-in-law? Be careful she doesn't castrate you. I don't think your sister-in-law has a very good temper!"

"What do you know!" Lin Yao said matter-of-factly, "People like us who are out in the game, who doesn't have multiple wives and concubines!"

"Let's not talk about that. I've heard that everyone in the underworld is talking about Hung Hing and Tung Sing lately?"

Jimmy laughed and said, "That's right, you could say you've stirred up the whole martial arts world again!"

"This is nothing! I haven't even revealed the most explosive news yet!" Lin Yao said, pursing his lips.

Jimmy asked curiously, "What other juicy gossip is there?!"

"I can't tell you, but you'll find out soon enough!" Lin Yao deliberately kept everyone in suspense.

After Jiang Tiansheng goes to the Netherlands, he will die there. This bombshell is no small matter.

At that point, Hung Hing and Tung Sing will have to fight even if they don't want to.

During this time, Li Ying and Lu Qichang were both paying attention to this matter, and Lin Yao felt that he could take advantage of the situation.

After Leung Kwan died, there was no new boss in his territory.

Lin Yao felt he could take this opportunity to seize Liang Kun's territory.

At that time, Hung Hing was definitely preoccupied with its own problems and would probably only be able to settle down after Chen Yao brought Jiang Tianyang back.

If you don't seize this golden opportunity, you'll be punished by heaven.

Jimmy rolled his eyes: "So mysterious!"

"I'm not talking to you anymore, I have to go to my interview!" Lin Yao left Jimmy behind, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the construction site next door.

Although the members of those triads were focused on the affairs of Hung Hing and Tung Sing, the magazine also published a news item this time: Lin Yao was planning to use the piece of land in Sheung Shui that he had just acquired to build a charity.

This was all to force Ye Rongjin to submit!
Although Mingda Group is a large company, it has used many underhanded tactics against Lin Yao. This land plot is constantly plagued by problems, determined to make things difficult for Lin Yao.

However, Lin Yao had already anticipated Ye Rongjin's prediction; the people on the construction site were just putting on an act.

This time, it seemed as if they had been provoked, and they directly announced in the magazine that they planned to donate the land to a charitable cause to build a Buddhist temple.

Lin Yao even asked Xu Wenbiao to come up with a plan for this project.

Although the two companies are no longer cooperating, Lin Yao can ask Xu Wenbiao for a small favor, and the latter will never refuse.

After all, their first pot of gold, the housing estate project, was made possible by Lin Yao's investment.

Otherwise, if they were to rely solely on them, the project would be halfway through before the funding chain broke down.

After tidying his clothes, Lin Yao went directly to the water supply construction site.

Lin Yao had already arranged for reporters to wait here, and ATV had also sent someone, naturally Lok Wai-ching.

"Mr. Lin, do you intend to use this land in Sheung Shui as the site for building a Buddhist temple?"

A reporter came over and asked questions directly.

Another reporter immediately followed up: "I heard that Mr. Lin made tens of millions from his housing estate project last time, is that right?"

"Mr. Lin, why did you choose to use the land for charity? Is it related to Mingda Group's waterfront project?"

"Mr. Lin..."

Seeing so many reporters asking questions, Lin Yao smiled and said, "Dear reporters, please don't be in a hurry!"

“I did intend to use this land for charity, but not only for building a Buddhist temple, but also for some orphanages and nursing homes.”

"I don't have any other special skills. After I made money, I just wanted to give back to society! So there's no need to elaborate on my motives. I'm just passionate about charity!"

Upon hearing Lin Yao's answer, Le Huizhen couldn't help but roll her eyes.

If she hadn't heard about Lin Yao's plan, she would have been completely fooled by this scoundrel's hypocritical appearance, thinking he was genuinely passionate about charity.

However, the reporters were clearly pleased with what he said, clapping their hands with admiration.

Besides, they were invited by Lin Yao and received red envelopes, so of course they would speak on Lin Yao's side!
Moreover, Lin Yao transformed himself from a freelance journalist into the owner of a magazine, which even sold very well in Hong Kong.

As fellow media professionals, it's good to build good relationships; you never know when you might need them.

So no one asked any difficult questions, and no one used Lin Yao's gang affiliation to create hype.

The scene was quite harmonious.

After the interview, Lin Yao had his men give red envelopes to the reporters who had come to the scene.

"Sister-in-law, this is yours!" The younger brother handed the red envelope to Le Huizhen with a smile.

Lin Yao slapped his underling in an annoyance and said with a laugh, "What's with you giving your sister-in-law a red envelope? Get lost!"

Le Huizhen took the red envelope, opened it immediately, and said to Lin Yao, "You're really generous!"

Lin Yao said with a smile, "This plan has to be very generous, the more hype it gets, the better! By the way, when can the news be released?"

After thinking for a moment, Yue Huizhen said, "The earliest I can expect is tomorrow morning!"

"Alright, there's no rush!" Lin Yao nodded. "Otherwise, some people probably won't be able to sleep tonight after seeing this!"

……

The next day, news that Lin Yao planned to use the Sheung Shui land for charity spread through various media outlets.

Ordinary people wouldn't care about this kind of thing at all. At most, they would say something like, "Lin Yao is really rich," or "Good people get good rewards."

But the next day, Mingda Group was in an uproar. Ye Rongyi walked into Ye Rongjin's office with a newspaper in his hand and said, "Brother, take a look at this!"

Upon seeing this, Ye Rongjin was immediately enraged. He slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "That bastard! How dare he treat us like this!"

Ye Rongyi said angrily, "Now that things have turned out like this, I don't know what he wants to do!"

"What do they want? It's all about money!" Ye Rongjin said coldly. "These bastards are like wild dogs; they'll do anything! They rely on ruthlessness and money!"

The assistant said directly to Ye Rongjin, "The construction site is almost ready to be fenced off and started. If we don't stop him now, and he really changes the land's ownership, it will be too late for us to take it back!"

"This will not only affect our construction costs, but also our performance budget and stock price!"

Ye Rongjin yelled irritably at his assistant, "So what? Do you have a solution? Tell me! You can't help at all, get out!"

The assistant didn't dare to say anything and could only obediently leave the office.

Ye Rongyi, holding onto the chair, said to Ye Rongjin, "Big brother, all I know is that we need to get this sorted out before Daddy comes back!"

Ye Rongjin was well aware that if this matter wasn't resolved quickly, it would affect his standing in Ye Xiaoli's eyes.

Moreover, at this point, it's no longer realistic to use underhanded tactics against Lin Yao.

The only option now is to cut our losses.

Although I was very unwilling, there was no other way.

At least we can get this sorted out quickly, I just hope that bastard Lin Yao won't ask for too much.
