Hong Kong Variety Show: From Little Brother to Big Boss

After listening to Qian Lin's explanation, Liu Xu nodded calmly and did not blame him for acting on his own.

He arranged for his father Liu Gensheng to be the deputy director of the brewery and offered him a high salary in order to improve the family's financial conditions.

Liu Xu knew very well the personalities of his father and mother in this life. If he gave them millions directly, it would only cause his parents unnecessary worries and make them anxious.

Therefore, he arranged for his father to work in the brewery, hoping that he could find something to rely on.

Since his father can't sit still, it's a good idea for Qian Lin's son to take him fishing. This will allow him to relax and enjoy the slow pace of life.

It can also avoid being overworked in the brewery. Thinking of this, Liu Xu nodded calmly, indicating that he already knew the reason for the matter.

After learning about the beverage company, the brewery and his father at one go, Liu Xu did not wait for his father to come back at the brewery, but chose to get up and say goodbye.

Sitting in the Polonaise car, the car sped all the way towards the waterworks in Sha Tin District.

Unlike the brewery, when Liu Xu's car parked steadily in front of the water plant gate, his sharp eyes immediately caught the lax state of the security personnel inside the water plant.

However, Liu Xu's face did not show any dissatisfaction.

After all, for an elderly person who is over 50 years old.

It is really too much to ask the other party to stand tall and energetically guarding the gate of the water plant like a young soldier.

Despite this, the water plant's security guard Wang Zhiwen was extremely alert.

As soon as he saw Liu Xu get off the car, the security guard, who had seemed rather casual, immediately walked out of the water plant gate, holding a paper cup in his hand, and walked towards Liu Xu with enthusiasm on his face.

"Boss, you're here? Here, this is the tea that my wife made for me to nourish my kidneys. I poured you a cup in a paper cup. Please try it."

Liu Xu glanced at the paper cup in Wang Zhiwen's hand, which contained some yellowish tea.

She glanced calmly at his droopy eye bags and slightly purple lips, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

"Uncle Wen, I'm still young, so I don't need to take care of my kidneys for now. You should keep this cup of tea and enjoy it slowly. I'll go in and take a look first."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Xu ignored the strange looks from Tian Yang and the others, and hurriedly walked through the gate of the water plant and went straight inside.

Wang Zhiben wanted to persuade him again, but seeing Liu Xu walking so quickly, he had to give up the idea. He gently brought the paper cup to his mouth, took a sip, and muttered:

"Young? Who hasn't been young? Back then, your uncle Wen was also young and energetic. Sigh... As the saying goes, when you are young, you don't know how precious someone is, but when you are old, you will shed tears at everything you see."

Wang Zhiwen blew a breath to dispel the hot steam coming out of the paper cup, and looked towards the direction of the factory director's office, thinking to himself: "I guess Factory Director Sun is going to be in trouble this time."

As for the water plant, Liu Xu did not choose to inspect the work area, but walked directly towards the office with big strides.

The account book of the brewery was in his father's hands, so he was naturally relieved. But it was different for the water plant, as he did not have his own staff there.

Therefore, he planned to understand the actual situation of the water plant by checking the accounts.

When Liu Xu walked to the door of the factory director's office, the voice coming through the crack in the door made his face instantly gloomy.

He kicked open the office door without hesitation, and what came into view was a middle-aged man with a big belly, hugging a young woman passionately.

Liu Xu's kick obviously scared the two people in the office to death.

Director Sun was so frightened that he trembled and quickly picked up the pants that had fallen on the ground and put them on.

After seeing the face of the person who came, the young woman first breathed a sigh of relief, and then casually picked up the clothes scattered around and put them on in front of everyone.

The charming woman lowered her eyes and pushed her black hair behind her ears. She licked the corner of her lips inadvertently, looking extremely charming and it was obvious that she was still unsatisfied with what had just happened!

Seeing this, Liu Xu's face became even gloomier. When the woman was already dressed, he pointed his finger outside the door and shouted, "Get out!"

Seeing Liu Xu's ferocious look, the woman patted her chest, as if to cheer herself up, "Hey, why are you so fierce? Let me tell you, I have someone backing me up."

The woman obviously thought that Liu Xu's request to get out meant that he didn't want to pay. She said firmly, "You want to kick me out without paying? No way."

As she spoke, she took a few steps forward, shortening the distance between her and Liu Xu. After looking him up and down, she asked tentatively:

"If you are willing to accompany my sister for one night, I can waive Director Sun's fee. How about it?"

Liu Xu laughed out of anger, but he still restrained his urge to stab someone. It is only natural to pay back debts. He is not an unreasonable person.

He quickly took out a stack of Hong Kong dollars from his pocket, but was worried that it would be too rude to throw the money directly into the other person's face.

So he stuffed the money into the other person's chest, with an unquestionable strength in his action.

After completing this move, Liu Xu took a step back, his eyes flashing with cold light and murderous intent: "There are at least 10,000 Hong Kong dollars in it. I'll give you ten seconds to disappear from my sight immediately."

"Otherwise, even if you have God protecting you, I will make sure you disappear from this world completely."

The woman sensed impatience and deadly threats in Liu Xu's words.

As the countdown sounded in her ears, she felt a chill running down her spine to the top of her head, and her expression became extremely panicked.

She hurriedly covered the stack of Hong Kong dollars on her chest, staggered, and almost rushed out of the office door as if escaping.

When the woman's figure completely disappeared, Liu Xu turned his gaze to Director Sun, and his tone was as cold as the winter wind:

"I don't care if you find women, but if I catch you doing this during work hours again, you'll just pack up and leave."

Faced with Liu Xu's stern warning, although Director Sun appeared a little disrespectful on the surface, he knew in his heart that he should not act rashly, so he chose to stand there in silence, waiting for the boss's next reprimand.

However, to his surprise, Liu Xu did not continue to blame him after issuing the warning, but ordered in a deep voice: "Bring the account book of the water plant to me for review."

Upon hearing this, Director Sun's eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about something.

He took a deep breath, took out the key from his trouser pocket, opened the safe, and handed the water plant's account book to Liu Xu.

Liu Xu took the account book and carefully read the transaction records page by page with a focused and serious expression.

In April, Li Ming led his team to sell a total of 2.5 million bottles of mineral water, with a profit of 0.3 cents per bottle, so the water plant made a total profit of 750,000 Hong Kong dollars.

However, the water plant’s public accounts showed an amount of 500,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Even if taxes are taken into account, it would not be a loss of 250,000 Hong Kong dollars.

In addition, the account book also records in detail the cost of updating the raw water treatment equipment in April due to its aging, HK$50,000.

In May, there were expenditures of HK$30,000 for water purifier repairs and HK$100,000 for replacement of infiltration equipment.

After scanning the records from April to now, he closed the account book and closed his eyes slightly, as if he was having a silent battle in his heart.
