Chapter 1147: Chapter 1033: Revisiting the Past
"Hmm, I’m listening," Song Yun said.
"I’m just like you, we were both born into wealthy families, and we are both at the top within our range," Li Baoshi said. "Your Song Family is a very powerful family on the mainland, and our family, let’s call it the Li Family, is also considered top-tier in Hong Kong, although twenty years ago, my dad wasn’t yet the richest man in Asia."
"It’s just the family environnt that’s similar; I’m not like you; I wasn’t a born second-generation rich kid. I was pretty much trash when I was a kid," Song Yun said with a smile.
"Trash, huh?" Li Baoshi chuckled and said, "Actually, before I turned thirty, I was just like you."
"Oh?" Song Yun raised an eyebrow.
"You might not believe
when I say this, but from high school through college, all my pocket money was earned by working on my own," Li Baoshi said. "I never told anyone who my dad was, and my dad never took
to any public engagents. For quite a long period, I even thought I wasn’t my dad’s biological child."
As he spoke, Li Baoshi gave a self-deprecating laugh and said, "Even when it ca to parent-teacher etings, it was our family’s nanny who attended."
"Why?" Song Yun asked in confusion. "Why was it like this?"
"I didn’t know why before, but as I grew up, I understood. My dad never wanted
to beco a spoiled brat, so naturally, he tried to keep
out of the public eye. He made
attend the most ordinary schools and live the most ordinary life. I rember one thing he said to
when I was little: ’Everything I have is yours, but that’s only when you have enough ability to manage it.’ So from a young age, my dad kept training , training my sense of independence. Luckily, I was determined enough to get into college on my own, and I even earned a decent degree," Li Baoshi said.
"We do indeed have sothing in common," Song Yun nodded and said.
"There’s much more in common," Li Baoshi said with a smile. "I graduated at twenty-two. At that ti, the Hongxing Sect wasn’t completely under our family’s control. The whole of Hong Kong felt quite chaotic then, and Hong Kong wanted my dad to step up and manage things because, back then, my dad had quite a reputation here. So my dad told
to take care of the Hongxing Sect. I, being young and fearless, actually did it. Later, I led a group of brothers and, after several years, managed to bring the Hongxing Sect under control. It’s similar to how you took over Wang Hu. Then I started mixing in the underworld. After a long ti in the underworld, I gradually cleaned up the Hongxing Sect’s operations. Up until now, my background is entirely clean. Looking at you now is like seeing myself twenty years ago. You’re also expanding your influence while cleaning up your own act. I reckon if you don’t die, you’ll beco another version of
in a few years."
"According to what you said, we are indeed quite similar," Song Yun said with a smile. "So you plan to cooperate with
for this reason?"
"That’s just one of the reasons. You know, when you see soone similar to yourself climbing up, you always want to lend a hand," Li Baoshi said with a chuckle. "Of course, the height you’re standing at now is already quite high. Even I wouldn’t dare say I’m definitely better than you; however, ultimately, I’ve traveled more paths than you and gained so experience."
"Thank you," Song Yun said with a smile. "If I had a cigarette, I’d definitely offer you one, but unfortunately, I’ve recently quit smoking."
"I’m quitting smoking too," Li Baoshi said. "My wife keeps saying that if I continue, my body won’t hold up. You know, once a man hits forty, various functions start to decline."
"Are you talking about sexual functions?" Song Yun snickered.
Li Baoshi was montarily stunned and then said, "That’s just one aspect. Judging by the won around , you should understand. At least, in this aspect, I still have so verve. It’s just that my energy level has already started to decline. In the past, I could stay up two or three days straight to catch a target. Now, by eleven at night, I need to sleep."
"When you’re young, you need to fight hard; now, you should enjoy life," Song Yun said, but his gaze was intermittently scanning the people downstairs. Although security work was handed over to Jue Wu, Song Yun wasn’t relaxing his vigilance. This matter really couldn’t afford any mistakes, because it was related to the reputation of the Shura Alliance. If the Shura Alliance screwed up on their first assignnt in Guangzhou, who would be willing to cooperate in the future? Not to ntion others, those nightclub bosses, how could they trust their venues to us?
This is the Shura Alliance’s first deal in the Pearl River Delta, and its importance is self-evident.
The car models downstairs were extrely provocative, leaning against cars and striking various poses, while a large group of n eagerly snapped pictures with their phones and caras.
Every car show is a festival for n, with short skirts, glamorous beauties, and voluptuous figures. In such a hall, who knows how many n’s hormones are rapidly secreting, or how many are getting aroused?
But, for those n, most car models are rely goddesses they can long for but never attain, while for people like Song Yun, most of them are there for the taking.
The greatest tragedy in life is realizing that your worshipped goddess is rely the bedmate of so Gao Fushuai.
While conversing with Li Baoshi, Song Yun noticed a few people behaving suspiciously.
Although these people were photographing like everyone else, their gaze often drifted sideways.
If this were at another ti, it wouldn’t matter. Who says you need to focus entirely when taking photos? But you know, they’re photographing beautiful cars and won; what man isn’t wholly absorbed when capturing beautiful cars and won?
Therefore, Song Yun noticed these people, and he also noticed that there seed to be a connection between them, with occasional eye contact suggesting slight interaction.
Song Yun’s mouth curled into a smile—it appears soone indeed plans not to let him handle this first deal so easily!
Song Yun picked up his phone and called Jue Wu.
He shared his observations about those people with Jue Wu, who naturally understood what to do.
anwhile, downstairs, Xu Xian was busy implenting his third plan.
