Film and television urban drama starts from Nothing But Thirty

Page 526

Li Guorong excitedly grabbed Li Guokai’s hand, his eyes reddened: “Erga…Erga!”

Li Guokai had the same reaction: “Brother, brother, I’m back!”

That night, Li Guorong cooked for dinner at home. At the dinner table, Li Yi asked, “Second Uncle, what do you do in Hong Kong?”

Li Guorong was also very curious and wanted to know what his younger brother was doing in Hong Kong.

Li Guokai hesitated for a moment and said that he drove a tram in Hong Kong.

“It’s good to drive a tram. I think this is very good. It can be said that we are also the working class. Guo Kai, we work hard… Brother is happy for you.”

Li Guorong didn’t realize that his brother was lying. Li Guokai nodded awkwardly. After years of doing business, he just lied to someone unknown. Now seeing his elder brother’s sincere and happy expression, Li Guokai was really embarrassed.

“By the way, did you know that my eldest sister has a son? His name is Chen Fang, and he has also gone to Hong Kong…”

“Ah, eldest sister’s son?”

“Well, this kid is just like Li Yi. He went to Hong Kong a few days ago. Now I don’t understand what he said about his job……………………….”

“I’ll contact you when I get back and ask you when we can get together.”

Li Guokai took note of it secretly, and was already complaining in his heart about what Cui Baiquan had done. How could he not tell him about such a big thing?

“Ah.”

Then the two brothers began to talk about other things, including the past years and their respective families.

Li Yi was accompanying his cousin Li Minghao, and Li Yi was asking about things in Hong Kong.

The next day, Li Guorong invited Li Guokai and his son to Dayong Roast Duck Restaurant for a welcome dinner. This was also his home turf, and he wanted his younger brother to taste the Beijing delicacies. At the beginning, the two brothers lived on sweet potatoes.

Unexpectedly, when I arrived, Su Yuancheng and his daughter Su Dong were also there.

Su Yuancheng and Li Guokai had never gotten along in Hong Kong. When they met this time, Su Yuancheng immediately exposed Li Guokai’s lie that he was a tram driver.

Li Guokai wanted to explain something without blushing or beating his heart, but who knew that Cui Baiquan came in at this time, which was like a good intention but a bad result.

In essence, Li Guokai is not the kind of person who looks down on his family after becoming rich. He is just used to the intrigues and deceptions in Hong Kong and can’t help but lie.

Li Guorong still patiently finished the wine, but after one glass of wine he left angrily, mainly because he was unhappy that his brother was lying.

What’s the point of hiding these things from the family?

Li Guokai regretted it very much. He shouldn’t have lied in the first place. After the meal, he was looking for an opportunity to apologize to his elder brother. It was not easy for them to meet each other. What was the point in making things awkward?

After dinner, Su Dong found Li Yi and asked, “Did your cousin go to Hong Kong?”

Li Yi originally thought that Su Dong wanted to ask him something, but he didn’t expect it to be this. He nodded and said, “Well, he’s been gone for a few days… I heard he’s already at work.”

Li Yi didn’t even think about it. Chen Fang’s visa was through Yuanda Group, and he could only work at Yuanda. How could he find a job in other formal places?

Su Dong didn’t mention this matter. There was no feedback from Xiangjiang about Chen Fang going to the company, otherwise why would she ask?

Su Yuancheng was happy today. He didn’t expect that Li Guokai suffered a setback here. Although he was surprised that Li Guorong was his brother, he quickly adapted to it.

Li Guokai couldn’t sleep that night. When he came to the living room, he found that his eldest brother was also there. He was probably angry.

“Brother, I’m sorry about what happened yesterday. I didn’t mean to hide it from you.”

After hearing his brother’s apology, Li Guorong didn’t want to hold on to it. It was rare for the two brothers to not see each other for so many years, so why should he keep being angry?

“Guo Kai, tell me how you make so much money. Did you do anything illegal?”

When he heard Su Yuancheng say today that his younger brother actually had billions of assets, he suspected that he had heard it wrong. After confirming it again and again, he wondered if his younger brother was doing something illegal.

“It’s actually like this… Mainly because Hong Kong has a developed economy and a lot of opportunities… Our company has grown up thanks to this wave.”

Li Guokai told Li Guorong everything that had happened over the years. Although Li Guorong might not understand it, he was very satisfied with his brother’s attitude.

“As long as there’s nothing wrong with it.”

“Well, don’t worry, big brother. I have always been an honest businessman.”

For several days, Li Guokai traveled around his hometown in Beijing, partly to visit relatives and partly to see if there were any investment opportunities.

Since Su Yuancheng had already helped to get a visa to Hong Kong, Li Yi did not mention this matter. He decided to prepare to go to Hong Kong after seeing his second uncle off.

Before leaving, Li Guokai and his eldest brother prepared a lot of things, including a high-end apartment and a car.

“Guo Kai, I know everything you asked Cui Baiquan to do… You don’t have to buy me a high-end apartment or a car… I’m happy living here…”

“Brother, you should take it. It is a token of my appreciation after all.”

“I appreciate your kindness, but these things are useless to me…”

In the end, Li Guokai did not accept it, mainly because it was useless for him. It would be more comfortable to live in this courtyard house, where he was surrounded by neighbors and they could chat in their free time.

What’s the point of going to a high-end apartment if you don’t know anyone around you?

Although the place I live in has become more upscale, I have lost the human touch.

After seeing Li Guokai off, Li Yi started to make a fuss about going to Hong Kong, which made Li Guorong very angry. Although he had known about this for a long time, he did not expect it to happen so soon.

“Li Yi, if you go to Xiangjiang, what about Jiang Xiaomei?”

Li Yi didn’t understand what his father meant for a moment: “What do you mean? My little sister is living well at home, what does it have to do with me?”

“What do you mean? Don’t you know how my younger sister treats you? I think you should get married first, and I will agree to let you go to Hong Kong right away.”

Li Yi was shocked: “Marriage? What kind of marriage? What does this have to do with anything? There’s nothing going on between me and my little sister, how come it has become a marriage?”

………..

The father and son started quarreling again. The next day, Li Yi left without saying goodbye and took two thousand yuan from Li Guorong.

Li Yi is not stupid. Although they quarrel, he knows that he can’t get away with it without money outside.

Li Yi is smart. Firstly, his cousin is in Hong Kong. Secondly, he has a wealthy uncle in Hong Kong. If things really get bad, he can still go to them for help. Of course, this is the last resort.

When Li Guorong got up and saw the note left by Li Yi, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry… This silly son even knew to take some money from his old father’s wallet.

After thinking about it, I decided to call Chen Fang and Li Guokai. Although he is not my biological son, I have raised him for so many years and he is almost like my biological son.

Li Yi naturally did not take a plane. He only had two thousand yuan in his possession, and the plane ticket would cost one thousand yuan. Don’t underestimate this one thousand yuan…the salary in that era was only more than three hundred yuan.

To buy a plane ticket, you have to work for three months without eating or drinking, and this is near the capital. If you go to other places, the salary will be even lower.

By the time the train arrived in Pengcheng, it was already three days later. I have to say that the speed in that era was really slow.

After completing the formalities at the exit, Li Yi set foot on the land of Hong Kong.

On the tram, Li Yi saw countless tall buildings, especially with bright lights at night, just as the legend said.

Chen Fang also received a call from Li Guorong. He didn’t expect that Li Yi was still doing this. He just said that he would call back immediately when he met Li Yi.

I really don’t know what’s going on in Li Yi’s head.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Fang looked at the profits of the past few days and was very satisfied… He still remembered the Hong Kong drama “One Step” where one could make billions by buying stock index futures, and that person had a face like Li Guokai.

This also shows the charm of finance. I withdrew 500,000 Hong Kong dollars from the profit and planned to buy a car tomorrow.

Chapter 623: There is gold everywhere, come and pick it up.

The next day Chen Fang went to buy a Mercedes Benz and rented an apartment. He has been staying in a hotel recently… It was okay at the beginning, but now it feels a bit inconvenient.

Finally I got a mobile phone. Although this thing is also available in mainland China, it is a rare item… After all, many places don’t even have telephones, let alone mobile phones.

After getting the number, Chen Fang called Li Guorong.

“Uncle, please remember this is my cell phone number, please remember…”

When Li Guorong heard that Chen Fang had already bought a mobile phone, he immediately asked, “What? Chen Fang, you just went there not long ago, how come you bought a mobile phone? Where did you get the money?”

“I made some money from foreign exchange trading here, so I bought a mobile phone. It will be much more convenient to contact people when the time comes.”

“Is this reliable?”

“Of course it’s reliable. You can ask Li Yi when the time comes… It’s naturally legal and compliant.”

Chen Fang explained for a long time before Li Guorong hung up the phone half-believingly. He looked at the number he had written down and fell into deep thought.

Is it possible that Hong Kong is really a place full of gold, and we can just go there and pick up the gold?

Otherwise, his nephew would have bought a mobile phone not long after he went there. He didn’t think that the ten thousand yuan he gave could buy him a mobile phone. He knew how expensive mobile phones are in Beijing now.

After thinking about it, Li Guorong felt annoyed and asked for leave to go back and have a rest. Why is there no one in this family who can make him worry-free?

Chen Fang didn’t know that this cell phone incident had caused Li Guorong so much trouble. If he had known this earlier, he would not have told him about it.

Li Guokai and his son also returned to Hong Kong. He is now talking to his wife about his eldest brother.

Seeing her husband so excited, Zhang Shuyuan knew that the relationship between the brothers was very good back then: “Guo Kai, why don’t we bring our eldest brother to Hong Kong? The conditions here are very good. My eldest brother is old now, and there will always be a time when he is not feeling well…”

Li Guokai also felt that Hong Kong’s medical conditions were good: “Well, what you said makes sense, but my brother won’t listen to me. He is still making Beijing’s famous dish, roast duck.”

This time, Leslie Cheung didn’t even look at the high-end apartment and car that were given to his eldest brother, let alone bringing his eldest brother to Hong Kong.

“We can take a detour. Big brother is busy with work… and…”

Before Zhang Shuyuan finished speaking, Li Guokai’s phone rang. He frowned a little, but thinking it was a private call, he patiently answered it.

“Hello, I’m Li Guokai (Cantonese).”

He just thought of him as a business partner, so he spoke like that.

“Guokai? I’m your elder brother Li Guorong……”

Hearing the familiar voice, Li Guokai realized it was his elder brother: “Brother, I’m Guokai, you didn’t make a mistake, I’m Guokai…”

“Well, I have something to talk to you about. Li Yi has gone to Hong Kong… Also, you need to check on my eldest sister’s son Chen Fang. What’s going on in Hong Kong…”

Li Guorong then told Li Guokai everything in detail. Li Guokai was stunned for a moment, but of course he nodded and agreed in the end.

After hanging up the phone, he told Zhang Shuyuan about this matter.

“Well, that’s even better… Guokai, let’s do this…”

What Zhang Shuyuan meant was to open a branch of Dayong Roast Duck in Hong Kong and let Li Guorong be the technical director. Wouldn’t that way they could come to Hong Kong with a legitimate reason?

Besides, Leslie Cheung’s son Li Yi is also here, so it’s a good opportunity for the family to spend time together.

“Okay, then I’ll do as you say. Tomorrow I’ll have to ask someone to help check on my eldest sister’s son, Chen Fang. I don’t know what he’s doing in Hong Kong.”

“Well, let’s talk about it tomorrow.”

Time quickly came to the next day. Li Guokai went to work at the company, and Zhang Shuyuan began to arrange matters for the roast duck restaurant. She was very smart even though she knew that her husband might have other women outside.

But she would not make it public, as long as the child was not brought home, to ensure her children’s inheritance of the property. Besides, polygamy was abolished in Hong Kong not long ago.

For the Li family, opening a roast duck restaurant in Hong Kong is just a matter of words.

When Li Guokai arrived at the company, he asked someone to investigate Chen Fang’s affairs. Although Rongkai Group was very powerful in Hong Kong, this would take time and there would not be immediate news.

A few days later, Li Guokai saw Chen Fang’s information and rubbed his eyes. He couldn’t believe it. Not long after his nephew came to Hong Kong, he earned more than 50 million Hong Kong dollars by speculating in foreign exchange and stock index futures, and the number was still rising.

At the same time, Chen Fang received a call from Xue Dahua, the account manager of Bank of China.

“Mr. Chen, here’s something. This morning I heard Vice President Wang looking at your information. It seems to be related to Rongkai Group. Have you offended anyone?”

After hearing what the other party said, Chen Fang immediately realized that Li Guokai was investigating him. However, considering the confidentiality level of Bank of China Hong Kong, it was time to prepare to change another bank.

“Manager Xue, do you have time later? I’ll treat you to a simple meal.”

“Yes, yes…”

“See you later.”

Judging from this incident, Xue Dahua is still somewhat reliable and can be poached when the time comes… As for the cooperation with Bank of China Hong Kong, it’s better to give it a try.

Maybe it’s because they haven’t returned yet, and the people in charge don’t know the severity of the situation yet.

Soon I met Xue Dahua. The reason why he came so quickly was because Chen Fang was his biggest client. Now his commission could be said to be basically contributed by Chen Fang.

“Hello, Mr. Chen.”

Xue Dahua is from Hong Kong and originally called everyone “Mr. Chen”, but knowing that Chen Fang did not like to be addressed that way, he only called him “Sir”.

Chen Fang nodded: “Let’s go to the restaurant over there first.”

“Ok.”

The two grown men naturally just ordered some dishes casually. It was not like they were going on a date with a beautiful woman, so why bother with so many fancy things?

“Manager Xue, let me be frank. I plan to transfer the funds from my Bank of China account…”

Before Chen Fang finished speaking, Xue Dahua became anxious and cursed in his heart… If he had known earlier, he would not have come to remind Chen Fang today, otherwise he would not have transferred the funds.
