Hong Kong Variety Show: The Development Notes of a Boss

On the 18th, Lu Yongqiang, Dong Si and Shisanmei stood together to welcome guests. To make the atmosphere more lively, they also invited a lion dance team.

The total investment in this store is nearly 30 million, so both Lu Yongqiang and Shisanmei attach great importance to it.

Lu Yongqiang even had the audacity to send an invitation to Le Huizhen.

Ever since he angered Le Huizhen at the Jundu Hotel that day, the two hadn't seen each other for several months. This invitation was really shameless of Lu Yongqiang. What was his purpose? Of course, he wanted Le Huizhen to be his free advertising.

Thirteenth Sister not only invited familiar gangsters, but also invited Jiang Tiansheng to help cut the ribbon.

Lu Yongqiang was even better at getting something for free. He complimented Jiang Tiansheng's woman Fang Ting, and then asked Fang Ting to be a model and helped him take a lot of promotional photos.

As Jiang Tiansheng's woman, Fang Ting naturally has no shortage of money. This woman loves fame. She even filmed a third-level film in order to become famous. Now Lu Yongqiang asked her to be a model and take promotional photos. She was very happy and agreed without asking for a penny of compensation.

After a lively atmosphere, the store officially opened. Lu Yongqiang and Shisanmei took the bosses around the store, and then let them wander around on their own.

When cutting the ribbon, Lu Yongqiang didn't see Le Huizhen and thought he had offended her badly, so the girl would not come.

Unexpectedly, around noon, Le Huizhen not only came by herself, but also brought many female colleagues from the TV station.

When Le Huizhen saw Lu Yongqiang, she asked her colleague to go shopping first. She walked up to Lu Yongqiang and said, "Ma Piqiang, I brought so many people here to support you. How do you think you should thank me?" As she spoke, she was about to pull Lu Yongqiang's arm.

Looking at the many people in the store, Lu Yongqiang didn't want to have too much physical contact with Le Huizhen, so he quietly took a half step back and said with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Miss Le, I am the owner of this store and also a big boss in the underworld. Can you please give me a little face and at least call me Handsome Qiang?"

However, Le Huizhen snorted unceremoniously and responded, "Why should I listen to you? I'm already giving you enough respect by calling you Mapiqiang instead of just handsome guy. And don't try to change the subject. You haven't told me how you plan to thank me yet."

Lu Yongqiang smiled helplessly and quickly replied, "Alright! Alright! Alright! Auntie, you are the most important. I really can't afford to offend you. You can call me whatever you like. It's an honor for me. As for thanking you, Auntie, just make your request. As long as I, Lu Yongqiang, can do it, I will definitely do my best to satisfy you."

"You said it, so I won't hold back!" Le Huizhen's eyes lit up and she said with a smile, "I want to invest in your store!"

"Invest in my store?" Lu Yongqiang was shocked. "Auntie, this won't work! First of all, this store isn't mine alone; I own it with someone else. Secondly, the items sold in the store are fake, which is a shady business. We might not be able to keep it going one day. There's no need for you to get involved in this mess."

"I don't care!" Le Huizhen put her hands on her hips. "If you don't agree, I'll take my colleagues and leave, and I won't come to your store again. Also, believe it or not, I'll expose you on TV and make sure your store can't continue to operate."

Hearing Le Huizhen say this, Lu Yongqiang was shocked. He had invested more than tens of millions of yuan. If the store was really closed because of Le Huizhen, the loss would be huge.

Lu Yongqiang smiled bitterly and said, "Auntie, please don't mess with me. This is a business I started with a big boss from the gang. I've invested most of my wealth in it. If the store goes bankrupt, I'm afraid I'll just jump off the building.

You should tell me other reliable requests. As long as you tell me, I will try my best to agree to them."

Hearing what Lu Yongqiang said, Le Huizhen smiled and said, "Since you sound so pitiful, I won't make things difficult for you. My birthday is on the 10th of next month, and my family will hold a birthday party for me. I hope you can attend. Is this request not too much?"

Hearing Le Huizhen say this, Lu Yongqiang refused without a second thought and said, "Auntie, please forgive me! I'm not qualified to attend your birthday party. If I really go, won't I be embarrassed for you?"

Le Huizhen snorted coldly and said, "What do you mean by that? Are you unwilling to go?"

Lu Yongqiang nodded. He really didn't want to go. Le Huizhen's birthday party was hosted by the Le family. Think about it, there is a saying that the people who will go there must be rich or noble people. How could a short mule like him get in there?

Seeing Lu Yongqiang nod, Le Huizhen gritted her teeth and said, "Lu Yongqiang, listen carefully. I'm not discussing this with you, I'm informing you. If you don't come that day, I'll announce to everyone that you're my man and that we've slept together. What will the consequences be then? Think about it yourself."

Hearing Le Huizhen say this, Lu Yongqiang was stunned. Given Le Huizhen's personality, she might really dare to say that. Regardless of whether it was true or not, he would definitely suffer the consequences.

Just when Lu Yongqiang was at a loss as to how to respond, Dong Si came over and said, "Little sister, it's not good for you to chase men like this. Being too aggressive will only make men stay away from you." Dong Si took Lu Yongqiang's arm and winked at Le Huizhen. Then, she whispered to Lu Yongqiang, "Aqiang, won't you introduce me to this beautiful girl?"

Lu Yongqiang pointed at Le Huizhen and said, "Le Huizhen, the eldest daughter of the Le family, is now a TV reporter."

Then he pointed at Dong Si and introduced her, "Dong Si, my woman. She is now the general manager of Lu's Real Estate and helps me manage the construction company."

Seeing Dong Si holding Lu Yongqiang's arm, Le Huizhen's face looked a little ugly at first, but she immediately smiled and said, "It's Miss Dong. I've heard a lot about you. I heard Aqiang talk about you. He said that you used to be his boss's woman, and then his boss got into trouble, so you followed him." After Le Huizhen finished speaking, she smiled and stretched out her hand.

Dong Si didn't argue with Le Huizhen. Instead, he smiled and stretched out his hand to shake her hand. Then he said, "Aqiang, Mr. Jiang wants to see you. Please go over first! As for Miss Le, I will help you take good care of her."

After Dong Si finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang looked at Le Huizhen and Dong Si with some concern, and his brows unconsciously frowned.

Dong Si patted Lu Yongqiang's arm gently and said, "Don't worry! I will take good care of Miss Le."

After hearing what Dong Si said, Lu Yongqiang said, "Then you two can chat, but let's make it clear in advance that today is the opening of my new store, so don't cause any trouble..."

Before Lu Yongqiang could finish his words, Le Huizhen pushed him and said dissatisfiedly, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? If you have something to do, just leave quickly. We are not children. We won't make things difficult for you."

After Lu Yongqiang left, Dong Si smiled and said, "Miss Le, do you like Aqiang?"

Seeing Dong Siwen's direct question, Le Huizhen was stunned for a moment, and then she admitted directly: "Yes! I do like him." Then she asked in return: "Why? Are you objecting?"

Dong Si shook his head and said, "Aqiang is a member of the gang. Look at the big guys in the underworld. Which one of them only has one woman? Some people may only have one woman on the surface, but they spend a lot of money on other people. When it comes to women, I can't control Aqiang."

At this point, Dong Si glanced at Le Huizhen, then continued, "Miss Le, since you're from the Le family, I think you know more about this than I do. After all, as far as I know, the old man of the Le family has three concubines, and as for mistresses, I'm afraid there are even more."

It's only been about 20 years since Hong Kong abolished polygamy. Although monogamy is now practiced, there are still many people in Hong Kong who have two wives, or even more. After all, when polygamy was abolished, many people were already married and even had children. It's impossible for you to abolish it and then kick your children out of the house...

Le Huizhen's father had four wives in public, but after the change to monogamy, three of them became concubines. Of course, these people still live in the Le family villa.

Dong Si's words made Le Huizhen's face change. She said, "Miss Dong, do you mean you don't object to me pursuing Ah Qiang?"

Dong Si smiled and said, "Of course I don't object, but I advise Miss Le not to waste her time. You know, the reason why Aqiang rejected you is not because you are not pretty, nor because he doesn't like you, but because your family backgrounds are too different.

Aqiang's membership in a gang is a lifelong stain on him, and it's not so easy to wash away. Miss Le, you are the eldest daughter of the Le family, a prominent family in Hong Kong. Think about it, if your family knew you were with Aqiang, how would they react?

"Miss Le, since you said you like Aqiang, you should consider him. He has suffered a lot to build this family business today, and he has faced life-threatening crises several times."

…………

Jiang Tiansheng really had something to discuss with Lu Yongqiang. After seeing Lu Yongqiang coming over, he took Lu Yongqiang and Chen Yao out of the shoe and clothing store, and the three of them found a quiet coffee shop.

Sitting in the corner, Jiang Tiansheng stirred his coffee and said, "Qiangzi, the society's casinos in Macau are having some problems. A guy named Sang Biao is up to something and is demanding a 30% commission. That's more than the Macau government pays."

Lu Yongqiang asked, "Mr. Jiang, what is this person's background? Don't other societies have any objections? Or is he specifically targeting us, Hongxing?"

Jiang Tiansheng said to Chen Yao, "Ayao, can you tell Qiangzi about the situation of Sang Biao?"

Chen Yao said, "Sang Biao, a red stick from the Ao Island Water House, came to power only half a year ago. He has over a thousand people under him, and he has the support of the big water monkeys behind him. Several societies have decided to surrender and pay him money, but I have discussed with Mr. Jiang that we in Hongxing cannot pay this money.

"During this period, Hongxing's overseas branches have been plagued by incidents, especially the one in the Netherlands, which still clashes with local gangs. If we give in here in Australia, it might give people the impression that we are weak and can be bullied."
