Chapter 333 Be careful! A tall tree attracts the wind!
"The prince wants to play with my wife!"
Wei Jixiang shouted at the top of his lungs, each time louder and more desperate than the last!
It was as if he wanted to vent all the grievances that Hong Tai had suffered over the years!
The other customers at the food stall all focused their attention on Wei Jixiang at this time, with their eyes showing contempt, inquiry, disdain, indifference, etc.
Unlike those bosses who were afraid of causing trouble, the owner of the food stall, Turkey, was walking towards this side with a calm and fearless look.
Taibao and Violent Bear quickly stood up, persuaded Wei Jixiang, lifted up the stool and pushed it down.
"Young man, why are you shouting so loudly?"
"What? Are you still proud that your wife is played by others?"
"As a grown man, if you can't even protect your own woman, what's the point of living!"
Turkey was wearing a floral apron, holding a kitchen knife in his hand, with a stern face, speaking without any scruples.
If it were when she was doing business before, even if the customer was deliberately making trouble, she would have to be humble and try to calm down his anger.
But this is He Shenghe’s territory!
As long as it is not the merchant’s fault, they no longer have to be so servile as before!
Taibao quickly said, "Sister Ji, I'm sorry. My friend was in a bad mood and drank a few more glasses. I'm really sorry."
Wei Jixiang tried to struggle to stand up, but was held down by Violent Bear, who whispered in his ear, "This is Tsim Sha Tsui. All the shops you see, even those selling newspapers on the roadside, have paid property fees."
"If you go too far, the nearest gang will be able to send people to you in less than five minutes, and then no one will be able to save you..."
After hearing this, Wei Jixiang immediately became obedient and stopped making a fuss, but his mood was still bad.
Turkey glanced at Wei Jixiang and said, "He looks like a handsome young man, but he is a wimp!"
"Even a woman like me knows that if anyone dares to snatch your things, you will fight him to the end!"
"As for whether you can win or not, you won't know until you fight!"
Hearing this, Wei Jixiang subconsciously raised his head and looked Turkey up and down. He found that there was a hideous scar on the other party's face, extending from the corner of the eye to the cheekbone, and she had buck teeth. Although her hair was smooth enough, she still could not be called a beauty.
Wei Jixiang swallowed his saliva and asked, "Sister Ji, where are you from?"
Turkey slammed the kitchen knife on the table, crossed his arms, snorted, and said, "Where are you from? I don't understand what you are saying at all!"
"I just run a food stall to make a living!"
After saying that, Turkey picked up the kitchen knife, turned around and left.
Those customers who came to watch the fun, seeing that there was nothing more to watch, withdrew their gazes and continued drinking and chatting.
At this time, seeing Turkey walking away, Taibao lowered his voice and said, "This Sister Chicken is not to be trifled with. I heard that she was also well-known in the underworld of Hong Kong Island. She was called the Double-Knife Turkey!"
"Did you see the scar on her face? It was said that she was cut by a machete!"
Wei Jixiang and Violent Bear looked at each other subconsciously, and saw shock in each other's eyes.
I didn’t expect that Tsim Sha Tsui is really full of hidden talents. The proprietress of a mere food stall actually has a very impressive background!
How did Wei Long Hao manage to acquire such popular places as Yau Ma Tei, Tsim Sha Tsui and Mong Kok?
The two were puzzled and since they couldn't figure it out, they simply gave up thinking about it.
At this time, Violent Bear said, "Ah Xiang, do you really want to switch gears and join Shenghe?"
"This is no small matter. If you take a wrong step, you will lose your life!"
Changing gears is never as simple as it seems.
Especially for those of them who are at the bottom of society, if they are not careful, they may be doomed.
Wei Jixiang put down his wine glass and said self-deprecatingly: "But what else can I do?"
"Should I wash my wife and send her to the prince's bed? When he plays with my wife, I push her buttocks beside him?"
"Besides changing gears, I really can't think of any other way to escape this disaster..."
For a low-class person like Wei Jixiang, there is no choice but to escape from many things.
Fight against the prince?
That would be equivalent to confronting the entire Hongtai society. No matter how good a fighter he is, even if he has nine lives, he will still die!
The power of an individual is ultimately limited.
"Alas, changing gears is definitely not as simple as you think."
"When you transfer to Hutchison, can you find a big boss with enough weight to speak up for you?"
"If you can't find it, do you think Uncle Mei will let you go, given his style?"
After a pause, Violent Bear continued, "When Axe Jun transferred from Heshenghe to Xinji, it was like thunder out of the blue, quite impressive!"
"But what's going on now? He died in the hospital inexplicably, his body was torn apart, not to mention we don't know who the murderer is, we haven't even found his head yet!"
"Some time ago, Tornado of the Dragon City Gang in Kowloon Walled City moved to Hutchison Whampoa. With the approval of Wei Lung Ho, it was like a bolt from the blue. Now he is the boss of Sham Shui Po."
"It's the same job transfer, it's the same sudden bolt of lightning, but everyone's situation is different..."
At this time, Taibao also said: "Violent Bear is my old friend, so I won't hide some things from you."
"Since Brother Hao took over, I don't need to tell you about the development of Hutchison Whampoa. I believe everyone has seen it."
"More and more people want to join our club, so the club will naturally raise the conditions higher and higher."
"If you haven't made any achievements in the previous club, it's not realistic to expect a big boss with enough weight to support you."
Wei Jixiang nodded. He was not surprised by the news.
After all, given Hutchison's fame, if the standard for transfer is set too low, then all kinds of monsters will come over.
Hearing this, Violent Bear shook his head and said, "Uncle Mei will never agree if there is no big boss to support him. Even if you give him enough banknotes, it will be impossible."
If a society is compared to a company, changing jobs is actually equivalent to changing jobs.
If the leader is broad-minded, he may just take it easy when his subordinates change jobs and may even send them his blessings.
If it were a narrow-minded person, he would think this was a very shameful thing.
Especially in this underworld, if such a thing were to spread, it would be generally believed that the previous society was incompetent.
Wei Jixiang lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and suddenly thought of what happened during the day. He said, "Oh, right, during the day, Daliqiang from your Heji, Brother Qiang, came to cause trouble for the prince..."
Afterwards, he repeated the incident to Taibao.
"Brother Taibao, do you think that if I find a way to get rid of the crown prince, would it be considered as a token of my loyalty? Would there be a big boss with enough influence to support me and allow me to transfer to Hutchison?"
As he said this, Wei Jixiang's face became gloomy, and a cold murderous intent slowly emanated from him.
Taibao and Violent Bear were both shocked by his idea, especially the latter, whose eyes widened so wide that he almost fell on the table.
Violent Bear drank the wine in the glass, slapped the table, stood up, and said, "Ah Xiang, if you are so brave, I will be your little brother in the future!"
"Besides, I'll follow you to the next shift, how about that?"
In Violent Bear's impression, Wei Jixiang is an extremely cowardly person. No matter what he does, he always looks ahead and behind and endures as much as he can.
In fact, Wei Jixiang is obviously very capable, and he is not bad in terms of both skills and IQ.
Violent Bear has verified this countless times.
"I was thinking about making money all day, thinking that I could do whatever I wanted with money..."
"But now I know that when you meet a boss like Uncle Mei, what does it matter even if you make a lot of money?"
"As a human being, our dignity and personality have long been trampled upon and are worthless!"
While speaking, Wei Jixiang's eyes were filled with painful memories of the past and the courage to fight to the death!
As the saying goes, a desperate dog will jump over the wall, and a desperate rabbit will bite. After being suppressed and compressed countless times, the anger will become more lethal!
"I want to kill the prince, and then transfer to Hutchison!"
"I want to be a human, not a dog!"
Hearing Wei Jixiang's solemn words, Taibao slapped his thigh and said, "Axiang, if you can really do this, I will definitely help you find a big brother with enough weight to ensure that you can pass the job to Heji!"
Then the three of them raised their wine glasses and clinked them together.
"cheers!"
A crisp sound was heard, and golden wine splashed everywhere.
They lit up cigarettes one after another and drank glass after glass of wine. The three of them went from being sober to being drunk after drinking everything.
"God bless you, there will be mountains of gold and silver ahead."
"God bless you, kind people will always survive to the end..."
The drunk Taibao was talking in a mysterious way, with his hands clasped together, looking extremely pious. The night gradually deepened.
The entire Hong Kong Island seemed to be covered with a hazy veil.
The number of pedestrians on the streets is gradually decreasing.
Sham Shui Po, Zheng family villa.
As we all know, in addition to having a goddaughter in the entertainment industry, Cheng Yutong also likes to bet on horses.
Rich people of their level basically raise and train horses themselves and then gamble on them.
Zheng Yutong is no exception. In his villa, there is a special stable with three horses in it. All of them were imported from foreign countries and were very expensive.
Now, the whole villa was plunged into darkness, with only a few unprofessional security guards patrolling around with flashlights.
In the stable, the horses, who were supposed to be sleeping, were making anxious noises and circling around.
After hearing the sound, the patrolling security personnel came to the stable to take a look. After shining a flashlight around, they did not find anything unusual.
But when they turned around and walked a few steps, the shouting sounded again.
When the security personnel returned again, they still didn't find anything unusual.
This time, after the few people walked away, Ma Pi started to get anxious again and shouted loudly.
One of the guards wanted to go back and check, but the other one advised: "Come on, boss, how much money do you make every month? Why are you risking your life like this?"
"Have you forgotten that last month your supervisor found an excuse to deduct 500 yuan from your salary?"
"You're still working so hard, be careful your supervisor might deduct your salary this month!"
The security guard stopped and asked in confusion, "Why is my supervisor still looking for trouble with me even though I work so hard?"
"Is it wrong to work hard?"
Another security guard said, "When everyone else is slacking off, you're being so active, especially in front of the boss. Aren't you deliberately trying to embarrass everyone?"
"Well, when you're out working, just like when you're a person, don't take things too seriously, and don't try to stand out."
"Be careful, a tall tree attracts the wind!"
After saying that, the security guard walked away with the flashlight, with no intention of returning to the stable to check.
The remaining security guard stood there in silence for a while, then left.
"Wait for me!"
The night dominated by darkness will eventually pass and the sun will come again.
As the sky just began to brighten, Cheng Yutong's biological clock began to ring.
He opened his eyes, lifted the quilt, and tried to get up, but he touched a strange object with a familiar outline.
At the same time, a bloody smell also entered his nose.
In an instant, Zheng Yutong's heart sank to the bottom.
The heartbeat speed is also accelerating uncontrollably.
With such a feeling, Zheng Yutong stretched out his hand and tremblingly turned on the light.
The bedroom, which was originally shrouded in darkness, suddenly became bright.
"what!!!"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Zheng Yutong let out a scream full of fear, and his body trembled uncontrollably like a sieve.
I saw a horse head placed in the middle of the wide bed, with its eyes wide open, as if it died with its eyes open!
Even though the blood has already solidified, one can still imagine the tragedy that took place at that time!
Soon, Zheng Yutong recognized that this horse head was his favorite lucky diamond!
The sudden scream also woke up Zheng Yutong's wife, Zhou Cuiying.
"Honey, what happened?"
She rubbed her eyes, got up in a daze, asked subconsciously, and saw the horse head with its eyes open!
"what!!!"
Zhou Cuiying's screams became even sharper. She covered her eyes with her hands, and her voice became completely trembling and filled with fear.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
Zheng Yutong and Zhou Cuiying were immediately frightened and hugged each other subconsciously.
Finally, it was Zheng Yutong who mustered up the courage to ask, "Who is it?"
"Mr. Zheng, I heard some noise coming from the bedroom. Are you okay?"
Hearing this voice, Zheng Yutong and Zhou Cuiying immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
As old servants who have worked in the Zheng family for ten years, they are very familiar with this voice.
Just as Zheng Yutong was about to speak, the phone rang. He could only shout, "Uncle, it's okay. We bumped our feet when we got out of bed just now. It's nothing serious."
After making up an excuse to send him away, he picked up the phone receiver on the bedside table.
"Morning, Mr. Zheng."
"I wonder if the gift I gave you is to your liking?"
Lin Zehao was talking while eating breakfast, and the microphone was held by a white hand.
The owner of this hand is the secretary Ruan Mei.
Zheng Yutong was stunned at first, but then he reacted immediately. Veins popped out on his forehead, and he grabbed the microphone tightly, shouting angrily: "You did the Lucky Diamond thing!"
"Who are you? Have I ever offended you in any way?"
"An honest man does not do shady things. Do you dare to tell me your name?"
Zhou Cuiying, who was standing by, had a worried look on her face. Looking at Lucky Diamond, who was lying with his eyes open on the bed, she subconsciously shook her husband's arm and signaled him with her eyes not to make things too awkward.
After all, if someone could put Lucky Diamond's horse head on the bed without them noticing, they could also chop off the heads of both of them without them noticing!
It never hurts to speak nicely when facing someone who has the power to control your life and death.
"Oh?"
"I have always been standing in the sunshine, but Zheng Sheng, who claims to be upright, has used methods that only rats hiding in the gutter would use."
"Could it be that Mr. Zheng has so quickly forgotten about sending people to attack Hutchison Jewelry?"
Lin Zehao took a sip of the porridge, put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, picked up the napkin beside him and wiped his mouth. His movements were indescribably elegant.
His face was full of amusement.
Hearing what was coming from the microphone, Cheng Yutong was obviously stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to react. He said in an incredulous tone: "Hutchison Jewellery? Are you Li Jiayuan?"
"No, Li Jiayuan's voice is not like this!"
When he said this, Zheng Yutong began to think frantically, searching for information in his brain, and soon he found the answer.
"Are you Lin Zehao? The real boss behind Hutchison Jewellery?"
Zheng Yutong had certainly heard of Lin Zehao, the first Chinese businessman to acquire the British trading company, Hutchison Whampoa.
However, he had limited knowledge about him. He only knew that he was a recently rising businessman and seemed to have a very good relationship with the shipping magnate Bao Yugang.
When Hutchison Jewellery was first established, Cheng Yutong specifically checked the shareholding structure behind it. After making inquiries from many sources, he found out that the actual controlling shareholder behind it was Lin Zehao.
But obviously, he didn't take it to heart.
After all, in the jewelry industry, Cheng Yutong is one of the best in Hong Kong Island. He doesn't even take Hutchison Jewellery, a mere cross-border company, seriously.
"What do you mean by the real boss behind the scenes? I have never hidden it. Hutchison Jewellery is my business."
"Mr. Zheng, as a senior in the jewelry industry, you actually resorted to such despicable means. Aren't you going to give me an explanation?"
Lin Zehao was not in a hurry. He took out a Marlboro and put it in his mouth, then picked up the pure gold Dupont lighter and lit it.
As the smoke dissipated, the magnetic sound seemed to become more ethereal.
Cheng Yutong laughed angrily and said, "Are all young people nowadays like you?"
