Hong Kong variety show: My Boss, Thirteen Sister

Chapter 39 Security Company

Jiang Lai really likes Hong Kong-style cafes, especially the window seats on the second floor.

The sunlight lazily fell on Jiang Lai as he sipped his tea and gazed at the scenery outside the window.

Outside the window are busy streets, people hurrying by, weaving together the bustling city and Hong Kong in the 80s.

The nightclub across the street is his venue, but he prefers to stay here because the atmosphere is more relaxed.

Li Hua walked into the restaurant, his face showing a hint of fatigue, but his eyes were shining.

He walked towards Jiang Lai, holding a briefcase in his hand, and respectfully said to Jiang Lai, "Mr. Jiang!"

"Okay, sit down!" Jiang Lai nodded, gesturing for him to sit opposite him.

"Mr. Jiang, these are the security company's documents and procedures. Everything has been completed!" Li Hua's tone revealed a hint of fatigue, but it was serious and earnest.

"Very good, thank you for your hard work!" Jiang Lai picked up the documents and said to Li Hua with satisfaction.

"I've found a 1500-square-meter venue. It used to be a boxing gym, with two floors. It has a great location and convenient transportation. I've also contacted a renovation company. With some simple renovations, it should be ready to use in as little as a week!" Li Hua continued.

"In addition, the boxing gym had a batch of equipment that I asked the owner to keep, which will require an additional payment."

Jiang Lai listened quietly without interrupting Li Hua. He liked this reporting style—concise, clear, and getting straight to the point.

He had only given the order casually, but he hadn't expected Li Hua to complete it so well, which greatly exceeded his expectations.

"Including rent, renovations, paperwork and equipment, as well as some other expenses, it will cost around two million," Li Hua hesitated slightly before clearly stating a series of figures.

This number was also within Jiang Lai's expectations.

His security company needs more than just renting a house; it also needs equipment, personnel, and training, all of which require a significant investment.

Jiang Lai nodded, his face expressionless, but his heart was filled with anticipation.

Whether it's starting a company or building a business district, he knows his plan is correct.

"Abu, come here for a second, over at the tea restaurant!" After hearing what Li Hua said, Jiang Lai took out his phone and dialed Abu's number.

Abu is in the stadium across the street. Jiang Lai set up a gym there and installed some fitness equipment. Abu likes to work out there when he has free time.

After receiving Jiang's call, Abu quickly rushed over.

"Ah Lai!" Abu wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked over to Jiang Lai to greet him.

"Sit down, Abu!" Jiang Lai gestured for Abu to sit down and then asked the waiter to bring him a cup of Longjing tea.

"Come on, let me introduce you!" Jiang Lai said, looking at Li Hua and Abu.

"This is Abu. He will be the chief instructor of Golden Bell Security Company from now on, and he will be in charge of training all security consultants," Jiang Lai said, pointing to Abu.

"This is Li Hua, the manager of the security company. He'll be in charge of business and personnel management!" Jiang Lai said, pointing to Li Hua.

"If you have any questions, feel free to report to me anytime. I'll be leaving the security company to you two from now on. Is that alright?" Jiang Lai said leisurely to the two of them, taking a sip of tea.

“Mr. Jiang, please rest assured, I will cooperate fully with Mr. Bu!” Li Hua’s voice was full of determination. “We will ensure the success of Golden Bell Security Company.”

"Golden Bell Shield? Security company?" Abu was still a little confused.

"Well, I'm planning to open a security company. The paperwork and the venue are all set up. I'd like you to help train the staff. Is that alright?" Jiang Lai asked Abu.

"Well... you'd be more interested in me training assassins for you, but how would I know anything about security?" Abu scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"Don't worry, I've prepared all the manpower for you. They're all elites, so you can teach them with confidence," Jiang Lai said before Abu could reply.

"Besides, the person who understands the killer best is the killer, not the security guard. I believe you!"

"Alright then!" Seeing Jiang Lai's serious expression, Abu had no choice but to agree.

Jiang Lai has already cleared Abu's name; Bu Tonglin is dead, and Abu is now a native Hong Konger.

"By the way, Abu, Li Hua is one of my men, you can trust him completely!" Jiang Lai pointed out Li Hua's identity to Abu.

Abu looked at Li Hua, nodded, and extended his hand to shake hands with Li Hua.

Li Hua also extended his hand to shake hands with Abu.

Jiang Lai looked out the window at the street, lost in thought.

The security company is only one part of his grand plan, and he needs more support to move it forward.

He needs sufficient influence to bring that day to come.

He needs more talent, more resources, and more opportunities.

Jiang Lai took a deep breath, his heart filled with anticipation and determination. He knew that this city, this world, was waiting for him to conquer.

“Abu, you’ll have to put in a lot of effort regarding the security company,” Jiang Lai said, looking at Abu. “Feel free to share your thoughts or anything you’d like to add.”

"Ah Lai, don't worry. I will do my best to make this security company the top security company in Hong Kong." Seeing Jiang Lai's serious expression, Abu also said firmly.

He didn't know Jiang Lai's purpose in establishing the security company, but he would support Jiang Lai without reservation.

"Yes, with your support, I believe Golden Bell Security Company will definitely succeed." Jiang Lai looked at the two of them, his heart filled with anticipation and confidence.

Outside the window, the sun still shines brightly on the earth, and people still hurry by on the busy streets.

This city, this era, awaits their creation.

"Mr. Jiang, when do we start recruiting?" Li Hua asked Jiang Lai.

In addition to basic security consultants, the company also needs to recruit other staff, such as receptionists and accountants.

"Okay, here's what we'll do. You go and handle the company's business first, and let Wang Ying take charge of recruitment. Start by recruiting at some job agencies." Jiang Lai hesitated for a moment, considering that Li Hua had a lot of things to do, so he decided to let Wang Ying handle some of them.

“Yes, Mr. Jiang!” Li Hua replied respectfully.

"Also, Abu, keep an eye out for any suitable prospects among your underlings. If you think they're decent, you can select some and assign them to the security company," Jiang Lai said to Abu, considering the manpower issue.

“Okay!” Abu nodded and replied.

"Li Hua, you need to keep pushing the venue and the renovations. We're officially opening in a week," Jiang Lai said to Li Hua.

“Okay, Mr. Jiang, I’ll keep a close eye on it.” Li Hua nodded.

"Hmm!" Jiang Lai took a sip of tea, his heart filled with anticipation and determination.

As if he had thought of something, Jiang Lai took out his phone.

"Sister, my security company is opening in a week, and I'd like to invite all the big shots to come and show their support!"

Chapter 40 Scheming for Liang Kun

"A security company? Opening for business?" Thirteen Sister asked, somewhat puzzled after hearing Jiang Lai's words.

"Yes, I've opened a security company, and we're planning to open in a week," Jiang Lai continued.

"You little rascal, you're running factories, getting involved in the business world, and now you've opened a security company. Don't take too big a step, or you might accidentally tear something out of your body!" Thirteen Sister warned.

"Don't worry, Sister, I know what I'm doing," Jiang Lai replied, then continued, "Let's get the security company and factory up and running first. As for the business district, we'll take it one step at a time!"

"Alright, then I'll say hello for you!" Thirteen Sister didn't say anything more after hearing Jiang Lai say that.

"Thanks, Sister Mei!" Jiang Lai said politely.

"By the way, Jiangzi, let's go pay our respects at Big B's funeral in a couple of days!" Thirteen Sister still had feelings for Big B, after all, Big B had taken good care of her in the past.

Thirteen Sister used to work for Big B. Although she later rose to become a big boss herself, she still felt grateful to Big B.

"Okay, Sister!" Jiang Lai did not refuse. Although he had no feelings for Big B, it was only right to pay his respects for the sake of Thirteen Sister.

Thirteen Sister didn't hang up the phone. Instead, she paused for a moment, then asked Jiang Lai in a low voice, "Now that Ciyun Mountain is leaderless, what are your thoughts on this?"

Is it Tsz Wan Shan?

Tsz Wan Shan has always been the territory of Big B. It is located in the northeast of Kowloon Peninsula and belongs to Wong Tai Sin District.

but……

“Hmm… I think Causeway Bay is better than Tsz Wan Shan, what do you think, Sister Mei?” Jiang Lai didn’t hide anything from Thirteen Sister and directly expressed his opinion.

"Causeway Bay...you mean Handsome Kun?" Thirteen Sister was quite surprised, not expecting that Jiang Zai would actually set his sights on Causeway Bay.

"Well, whether it's Tsz Wan Shan or Causeway Bay, we've already clashed with Leung Kwan, so why not go all the way?" Jiang Lai's words were calm, yet chilling.

Thirteen Sister understood what Jiang Lai meant.

Thirteen Sister did not speak immediately, neither refuting nor agreeing, but fell into deep thought.

Thirteen Sister was considering the pros and cons involved.

She felt that Jiang Lai's words made sense; Jiang Lai had taken down Sha Qiang, and Liang Kun hadn't made any moves yet.

But Thirteen Sister knew that Liang Kun wouldn't let it go so easily. Since they were already at odds, she might as well go all the way.

"What do you plan to do?" Although Thirteen Sister is a woman, she is by no means a soft-hearted person who has managed to reach this position.

"Kill Liang Kun!" Jiang Lai said, his voice filled with murderous intent.

Thirteen Sister was shocked!

"Jiang, don't do anything reckless. Liang Kun and Sha Qiang are not the same!" After hearing Jiang Lai's words, Thirteen Sister was worried that he would use the same methods he used on Sha Qiang to deal with Liang Kun.

Jiang Lai killed Sha Qiang because Sha Qiang threatened Thirteen Sister. Jiang Lai acted on behalf of the boss, and no one else had anything to say about it. But Liang Kun was different.

If Jiang Lai also intends to kill Liang Kun directly, this would be a major taboo in the martial arts world, and everyone might end up attacking him and Thirteen Sister.

"Don't worry, Sister, I know what I'm doing!" Jiang Lai knew about Thirteen Sister's worries.

Then he said:

“Brother Kun wiped out Big B’s entire family, slaughtered his fellow disciples, and he even dared to manufacture and traffic drugs. If we find these two pieces of evidence, he’ll be doomed!”

"That's true, but...!" Thirteen Sister wanted to say that no one could prove that Big B was killed by Handsome Kun.

"Sister, I have a cassette tape!" Jiang Lai said calmly.

"Audio tape? What audio tape?" Thirteen Sister was a little confused by Jiang Lai's words.

"Before he died, Sha Qiang recorded a tape identifying Liang Kun as the one who murdered Da B's family!" Jiang Lai said as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

Thirteen Sister's pupils shrank when she heard Jiang Lai's words. She hadn't expected that Jiang Lai would have such a powerful weapon.

"Really?" Thirteen Sister asked again, somewhat incredulously.
