Chapter 95: Iron Chain Across the River, A Father-Son Grudge (Part 2)
Lok Tin-hung felt a bit wronged—he had never used a mobile phone before.
However, his emotional intelligence was still online, so he asked:
"Boss, where are we going tonight?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"To Victoria Peak. One of your Sister-in-laws is coming back."
Lok Tin-hung was full of question marks. Did he mishear, or did Lin Feng misspeak?
What did 'one of your Sister-in-laws' mean?
And wasn't Victoria Peak Brother Fu's villa?
Lin Feng said to him, speechless:
"Didn't I tell you? My properties are all over Hong Kong. Who told you I don't have property on Victoria Peak?"
Lok Tin-hung said, feeling wronged:
"I've only been with you for a few days, so you can't blame me, can you?"
Lin Feng chuckled, shaking his head inwardly.
This guy was fine as a bodyguard, but as a butler, he was definitely not as handy as Li Fu.
The headache was that Li Fu had taken a three-month long vacation to recruit people.
He should have known not to let Chicken return to Liang Kun so quickly.
Forget it, let's just leave it at that for now.
Doesn't everyone get trained up slowly?
Lok Tin-hung drove, asking curiously:
"Boss, are we going to the villa on the mountainside?"
Lin Feng asked in surprise:
"Why go to the mountainside?"
"We're going to the mountaintop."
"I bought a piece of land there years ago and built several large units."
Lok Tin-hung secretly gave a thumbs-up... This was truly impressive!
The car drove straight to a huge unit on the mountaintop.
There were two buildings inside, each seven stories high.
Lok Tin-hung suddenly understood why Lin Feng usually didn't want to live here.
Two entire buildings, with only one floor lit up—it was too lonely, wasn't it?
Lin Feng, familiar with the place, walked into the lit-up floor. As soon as he opened the door, a beautiful figure with two 'big lights' suddenly pounced on him:
"Husband! I missed you so much!"
Lin Feng quickly stopped her:
"Don't be so lewd, a younger brother is here."
The person immediately became dignified:
"Oh, is that Xiao Fu?"
Lok Tin-hung bowed obediently:
"Hello, Sister-in-law. I am Lok Tin-hung, Brother Feng's younger brother."
The person beamed:
"I'm Lok Wai-Jan. Husband, this younger brother you've taken in is sensible."
Lok Wai-Jan casually pulled out a red envelope and handed it over.
Lok Tin-hung was a bit stunned:
"Huh?"
Lin Feng shook his head slightly:
"Just take what Huizhen gives you."
Lok Tin-hung quickly took it with both hands, thanking profusely:
"Thank you, Sister-in-law."
Lin Feng glanced at the entrance and reminded her:
"Don't speak too soon."
Lok Wai-Jan snorted coldly:
"Am I not your wife?"
"What's wrong with Tin Hung calling me Sister-in-law?"
Lin Feng looked at her disdainfully. Lok Wai-Jan lowered her head somewhat guiltily, then thought, 'Why should I feel guilty?'
She was Lin Feng's wife, so she puffed out her chest, her milky-white bosom standing out like a lamp.
The three entered the foyer and saw an elegant beauty setting the table. The beauty smiled slightly when she saw Lin Feng:
"Husband, you're back?"
Lok Tin-hung was dumbfounded.
What was going on?
Lin Feng sighed:
"Silly boy, greet her."
Lok Tin-hung stiffly called out:
"Hello, Sister-in-law."
Ho Man nodded slightly and casually pulled out another red envelope:
"Here, a welcome gift."
Lok Tin-hung didn't wait for Lin Feng's permission and quickly took it with both hands.
Only then did Lin Feng say:
"Ho Man is your eldest Sister-in-law, Lok Wai-Jan is your fourth Sister-in-law."
Lok Tin-hung was startled and stammered:
"Boss, I haven't been with you long. How many Sister-in-laws do I have, exactly?"
Lin Feng glanced at him:
"So far, seven."
Lok Tin-hung gasped.
Lok Wai-Jan sneered:
"I think there will be eight soon, won't there?"
"Are you interested in Fang Ting?"
Lok Tin-hung immediately retreated quietly. Lin Feng calmly sat down at the dining table:
"If you could satisfy me, would I need to say such nonsense?"
Lok Wai-Jan immediately softened:
"Hehe, it's just that we haven't seen each other for a long time, and I missed you too much."
Lin Feng sighed:
"When I first met you all, each of you was as gentle as water."
"In the end, I found out that you were all career-oriented."
"Alas..."
Ho Man gave Lok Wai-Jan a look, and the latter immediately said:
"Husband, don't be so anxious. Sister Man and I will serve you well tonight, okay?"
Lok Tin-hung suddenly couldn't stay still:
..."Uh, Boss, I suddenly remembered Brother Kun was looking for me."
Lin Feng pulled out a wad of money and threw it to Lok Tin-hung,
"Nonsense, Brother Kun doesn't need you. Go back and stay with Xiao Fu."
"I'll call you when something comes up."
Lok Tin-hung got anxious and quickly argued:
"There really is something. Someone needs to be in charge in Causeway Bay."
Lin Feng smiled:
"Alright, then you go. Call me if anything happens."
"But there shouldn't be anything. Situ wouldn't dare to make a move right now."
Lok Tin-hung politely greeted the two women and quickly excused himself.
As he walked, he thought,
"Boss is too awesome. He already has two wives, and the atmosphere already feels like a Shura field. What would it be like if seven wives were together?"
"Wait, listening to what the fourth Sister-in-law said, he might even add another wife soon?"
"This..."
Lok Tin-hung got a headache just thinking about it. He just couldn't understand, what was so good about women?
It seemed that not only his boss, but even his boss's boss, loved women too much.
The Blue-haired Kid was full of doubts, feeling quite sorry for Lin Feng:
"Indulging in women, his peak period will surely not last long. I will defeat Boss sooner or later and become the number one in the world!"
Thinking of this, he suddenly got excited and headed straight for Li Fu's villa.
In the high-rise on Victoria Peak, Lok Wai-Jan covered her lips and chuckled:
"Tin Hung must be talking behind your back."
Ho Man also smiled:
"I saw through Tin Hung's thoughts at a glance. He really is talking behind your back."
Lin Feng sighed:
"You two, don't mess around. Tin Hung is simple-minded, full of nothing but martial arts training, a complete martial arts fanatic."
Lok Wai-Jan was astonished:
"Is he even more of a martial arts fanatic than the Prince?"
Lin Feng nodded slightly:
"The Prince at least loves women, but Tin Hung is young, how would he know about that?"
"He doesn't even know the benefits of having a wife."
Before long,
Sounds echoed from inside the room:
Lightly plucking, slowly stroking, then picking again, first the 'Rainbow Skirts,' then the'Sixteenth Tune.'
The thick strings clanged like a sudden downpour, the thin strings whispered like a private conversation.
Clanging and whispering, playing in a jumble, large and small pearls falling onto a jade plate.
The warbling orioles under the flowers are smooth, the gurgling spring under the ice is difficult.
The icy spring's cold strings are frozen, frozen and soundless, pausing for a moment.
Another hidden sorrow and secret resentment arise, at this moment, silence is better than sound.
A silver vase suddenly shatters, water gushes out, iron cavalry burst forth, swords and spears clang.
The tune ends, the pick strikes the center, four strings sound like tearing silk.
After a high-pitched sigh, Lin Feng sneered:
"Trying to fight me? You still fainted."
After holding back for a week, he finally felt refreshed. He got out of bed in his pajamas, not a bit sleepy.
"Ding, today's intelligence update."
"Wealth (Purple): An apartment in Causeway Bay is Cheuk Tze-keung's safe house, containing 1.04 billion in old banknotes."
"Economy (Purple): Mr. Li, a Justice of the Peace, suggested that Sham Shui Po could undergo further land reclamation and development, gradually opening up new urban areas."
"Politics (Purple): George wants to make full use of the heroin confiscated by the police. He already has a complete plan."
All three were purple.
Lin Feng looked at the two sleeping women on the bed with a somewhat complicated expression—as expected, his wives' faces were fairer than his own.
This past week, he seemed to have only gotten two purple intelligence reports?
He hadn't expected that as soon as they arrived, he would receive three purple intelligence reports.
This was truly... Lin Feng immediately got dressed, quietly opened the garage, got into his car without calling anyone, and headed straight for an apartment in Causeway Bay.
He surveyed the exterior and confirmed it was an abandoned apartment.
The surroundings were not only desolate, but there wasn't even anyone monitoring it.
Lin Feng was very surprised that Causeway Bay still had such a place, but then he turned around and realized it was land designated for demolition.
He went in in a few steps, and inside, it was piled high with dense stacks of banknotes.
It almost filled the entire room.
Lin Feng picked up a stack and examined it under the light, only to find that they were all old banknotes.
"Cheuk Tze-keung is really ruthless, he actually extorted 1.04 billion from the Tycoon?"
"Why didn't he take any of it?"
"Never mind, this benefits me instead!"
Lin Feng waved his hand, and all the money was sent into his personal space.
This was also the only physical reward, albeit a barely tangible one, given by the intelligence system—a portable space.
Normally, Lin Feng only kept weapons in it, but now he stuffed all these banknotes inside.
In at most ten minutes, all the banknotes had changed ownership to Lin.
"Perhaps I should give Cheuk Tze-keung a thank you call?"
"Forget it, I remember this guy's crimes are very crazy, and he will continue to extort the Tycoons of Hong Kong."
"Hmm, I'll thank him next time he successfully extorts someone."
Lin Feng drove back, feeling satisfied.
He was actually a very lazy person; he would only move if there was enough profit.
Otherwise, he was truly too lazy to move.
After finishing his business, Lin Feng collapsed onto the bed, one arm around each beauty. The two women, sensing Lin Feng's presence, immediately clung to him like octopuses.
Lin Feng closed his eyes contentedly and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Once he fell asleep, he wouldn't wake up until noon.
However, Chen Taotao woke up early. After washing up, he prepared to do what he had always wanted to do—make Chan Man-yin pay the price.
The stock market opened, and in the main trading room, both sides gathered.
Chan Man-yin, wearing glasses, looked at Chen Taotao with arrogant eyes:
"You do have some talent, to rise so high from washing dishes in America."
"The stock market isn't something you can play with."
"I advise you to go back quickly."
Chen Taotao stared at the man in front of him, his eyes devoid of any emotion:
"I came back for only one purpose, and that is to eliminate you."
Chan Man-yin sneered:
"Since that's the case, there's no need to talk about feelings."
Chen Taotao cut him off, smiling and shaking his head:
"There was never any feeling between you and me."
Chan Man-yin's face instantly darkened:
"Then I'll send you back to America to wash dishes!"
He turned his head, snorted coldly, and left, leaving behind a remark,
"An ignorant fellow."
Chen Taotao's expression didn't change at all.
"Let's go too."
He led the Wanguo Bank staff to their designated positions, and his subordinates got to work.
Fang Ting, as Chen Taotao's assistant, promptly provided him with a lot of information.
Chen Taotao suddenly asked:
"Don't you want to know about the grudge between Chan Man-yin and me?"
Fang Ting shook her head:
"That's your private matter. As a subordinate, I shouldn't inquire."
Chen Taotao sighed:
"You guessed it?"
Fang Ting nodded:
"I can probably guess some of it."
"You know, one of Mr. Lin's wives is my best friend. I once heard his story."
"I imagine your situations are similar."
Chen Taotao thought for a moment and finally said,
"Perhaps unfortunate people are all similar."
Fang Ting said earnestly:
"Then let's work hard to change that misfortune."
"The root of the misfortune lies with Chan Man-yin, so let's eliminate him."
Chen Taotao smiled:
"Yes, eliminate him."
At 9:30 AM, the stock market opened.
Chen Taotao calmed down and issued an order:
"Target Wangguang International. Clear all circulating shares on the market. Chan Man-yin is not clean; as long as I audit his accounts, he will definitely be eliminated."
With a command, Wanguo Bank's investment department aggressively acquired shares of Wangguang International.
Chen Taotao played with an ornament, a slight smile on his lips. He was sure to win this battle.
With the bank backing him, clearing out a circulating stock was such a simple matter.
No one would stop him from eliminating Chan Man-yin.
Suddenly, Lin Feng's reminder appeared in his mind,
"When you battle Chan Man-yin, he will use the 'Iron Chain Across the River' method, causing you heavy losses."
"The 'Iron Chain Across the River' is not difficult to understand, but your upright nature makes it difficult for you to find a way to break it."
Chen Taotao was very surprised that he would be influenced by Mr. Lin, whom he had only met once.
He shook his head secretly,
"Chan Man-yin has no way to deal with me."
"He alone simply cannot contend with a bank."
"I will win this battle!"
Chen Taotao's confidence solidified again.
Suddenly, the trader, Dashan, hurried over:
"Tao Tao, something's happened."
Chen Taotao paused:
"Speak slowly, the sky isn't falling."
Dashan said anxiously:
"We've already invested 80% of our capital, but Wangguang International's circulating shares are endless."
"It's simply unrealistic for us to clear out all their circulating shares."
Thump!
Chen Taotao stood up:
"Impossible!"
Dashan pulled him to the computer and pointed at the screen, saying:
"Look, we've already acquired the circulating shares on the market at an opening price of 2.8 yuan, reaching six percent of Wangguang International's shares."
"Logically, Wangguang International's circulating shares should have been cleared out. The strange thing is, Chan Man-yin actually let us acquire them."
"But now... Wangguang International still has shares in hand."
"If we continue to acquire, we will suffer a crushing defeat."
Chen Taotao's expression could no longer remain calm:
"How could this be?"
Suddenly, a tense and uneasy atmosphere filled the VIP room.
On the other side, Chan Man-yin said coldly:
"Chen Taotao paid such an expensive tuition fee. If I don't teach him something, it would be too heartless. It's my turn!"
Chen Taotao was still anxiously analyzing when Dashan rushed in again:
"Tao Tao, Chan Man-yin is heavily dumping shares at 2.3 yuan. Now Wangguang International's stock has fallen to 20,000."
Boom!
Everyone's faces changed dramatically. In such a short time, they had lost millions.
Dashan asked:
"What should we do?"
Chen Taotao made a decisive decision:
"Stop acquiring immediately, dump the shares!"
Dashan was dumbfounded:
"Dumping shares now, we'll lose a lot."
Chen Taotao was very calm:
"Now is the time to cut our losses and exit. We don't understand Chan Man-yin's scheme. We are in the game, and we don't even know how we're going to die."
Dashan left immediately.
Chen Taotao loosened his tie and quickly led his people to investigate Chan Man-yin's stocks.
Soon, a piece of news came,
Chen Taotao's eyes went black, and he almost fainted:
"Interlocking Holdings!"
Fang Ting frowned and asked:
"What are Interlocking Holdings?"
Dashan explained with a dark face,
"Chan Man-yin, that old fox, has cross-held his seven stocks, where each company can control the shares of the others."
"When Wangguang International is not enough, he can draw support from the other six companies."
Fang Ting frowned:
"Isn't this the Iron Chain Across the River?"
Rumble.
Chen Taotao's mind buzzed. He immediately thought of Lin Feng's warning,
"You are about to confront Chan Man-yin. He will use the Iron Chain Across the River against you. This move is not difficult to break, but because you are an upright person, it will be very difficult for you to break it."
"Wanguo Bank is not to be trusted. When you encounter difficulties, call me. I don't want you to go astray."
Chen Taotao's face was pale.
Lin Feng had actually predicted it.
Suddenly, he remembered what Fang Ting had said earlier,
"Mr. Lin is a very mysterious person. What he says will happen, will definitely happen."
Chen Taotao tried to calm himself down,
"Interlocking holdings are very difficult to break."
"But there must be a way."
"Mr. Lin said there's a way, so there must be a way."
"It's just that this method is a bit peculiar and not suitable for someone with an upright mind like me to break."
"Calm down, Tao Tao, you must calm down."
"If others can do it, you can too."
But the facts proved that if others could do it, he might not be able to.
So, by the time the market closed that day, Chen Taotao still hadn't found his own way.
Fang Ting watched the team members suffer so much, and finally couldn't bear it anymore. She quietly went out and called her best friend:
"Huizhen, is Mr. Lin there?"
Lok Wai-Jan was feeding Lin Feng, one bite for him, one for her. Seeing Fang Ting call her proactively, her expression immediately became strange:
"Tingting, do you want to be Ah Feng's eighth wife?!"
***
Chapter 96: To Break Lord Cao, One Must Use Fire (Part 1)
Lok Wai-Jan handed the phone to Lin Feng:
"Tingting's call."
Lin Feng was currently chatting with Liang Kun's mother, his Godmother. Hearing this, he took the phone and said to the two women:
"Alright, you two keep Mom company."
Lok Wai-Jan chuckled:
"I understand."
Liang Kun's mother held a daughter in each hand, beaming with joy.
Lin Feng took the phone and asked:
"Tingting, what's wrong?"
Fang Ting quickly explained Chen Taotao's situation.
Lin Feng smiled:
"I already told him when I visited yesterday."
"This is a father-son grudge match. Chan Man-yin is known as the'Stock Demon' in the stock market, and his overbearing style has long caused dissatisfaction."
"Your father taught him a lesson early on, forcing him out, and now he's making a comeback."
Fang Ting asked cautiously:
"Mr. Lin, can you help him?"
Lin Feng smiled faintly:
"Chen Taotao is a talent, and I want him to work for me."
"Next, you'll discover just how overbearing Chan Man-yin truly is."
"He will cut off Chen Taotao's supply lines, and only then will Chen Taotao realize who he can truly trust."
"We are friends; you should be familiar with my style."
"I never do anything that's merely 'adding flowers to brocade'."
"Alright, don't worry. At least today, Chen Taotao isn't at a dead end."
"Let's have tea another day."
After speaking, he hung up the phone.
Lin Feng tossed the phone to Lok Wai-Jan, only to find that his seat next to the Old Mother was gone.
Lok Wai-Jan and Ho Man sat on either side, chatting and making the Old Mother laugh heartily.
Liang Kun pulled Lin Feng aside and offered him a cigarette.
It wasn't a cigar, and Lin Feng looked quite displeased.
Liang Kun didn't even notice his brother's disgusted look, exhaling smoke rings gloomily and saying:
"Why do you marry so many wives?"
Lin Feng said matter-of-factly:
"Because I love them."
Liang Kun simply couldn't understand Lin Feng's thought process:
"Even if you love them, you don't have to marry them all, do you?"
"Isn't it the same if you keep them outside?"
Lin Feng, smoking a Marlboro, said bluntly:
"You know my past."
"I'm an illegitimate child, and I received no love."
"Therefore, I absolutely do not want my children to become illegitimate in the future."
"I'm not incapable; let alone seven wives, even seventy, I can afford to support them."
Liang Kun was somewhat exasperated:
"But if you do this, it makes me, your big brother, look very foolish."
"You're a filial son; every time you come back to see Old Mother, you bring your wives."
"You fulfill your filial duty, and Old Mother is happy."
"The problem is, after you leave, Old Mother only scolds me."
"She says that even though you're the younger brother, all your wives are beautiful as goddesses and very virtuous."
"She says I don't act like a big brother at all."
"We're brothers for life, at least give me a way to live!"
Lin Feng sneered:
"I told you long ago to settle down and find someone; whose fault is it that you didn't listen?"
Liang Kun's hands trembled with anger.
Slap!
Lin Feng patted his shoulder hard:
"Don't say I didn't warn you. Right now, none of my wives are pregnant, so you can relax for a bit."
"But when they come over with big bellies..."
Liang Kun shrieked:
"I'd rather you kill me!"
After a moment of lament, Liang Kun resigned himself:
"Alright, I'll go find a good one later."
Lin Feng shrugged:
"We're brothers for life, we know each other inside and out, so let's not criticize each other."
"I'm afraid my children will become illegitimate in the future; you're afraid of not being a good father."
Liang Kun glared at him fiercely:
"You know it, and you still say it out loud?"
The two brothers looked at each other in silence, all due to the seeds of trouble sown in their youth.
Liang Kun said:
"I visited Chiang Tin-Sung yesterday, and things have been settled."
"On the sixth day of next month, an auspicious day, Sam Shing Temple will open its doors to welcome Big D's transfer."
Lin Feng nodded slightly:
"The higher Big D's status in Hung Hing, the higher your status will be."
"Being in a Triad is ultimately about making money. Without changing the Triad landscape, the more territory you occupy, the more money you earn."
"Chiang Tin-Sung should be very satisfied."
Liang Kun chuckled:
"Chiang Tin-Sung plans to make both Big D and me Second Marshals."
Lin Feng scoffed.
"Second Marshal sounds nice, but it's just a nominal position. It's not as stable as being the Causeway Bay Hall Master."
"When you're in the game, actual power is the most important."
Liang Kun's smile grew even more cunning:
"I know."
"Precisely because I know, I also know that my standing in Chiang Tin-Sung's heart is very high."
Lin Feng pondered for a moment and suddenly understood:
"Chiang Tin-Sung is still letting you two hold your respective Hall Master positions concurrently?"
Liang Kun smiled and nodded.
Lin Feng also smiled:
"That's not bad."
"I think, barring any unforeseen circumstances this year, Chiang Tin-Sung should be considering retirement."
"There's no end to earning illicit money, but to get rich, one must establish integrity."
"Otherwise, how can he catch up to Chiang Tin-Yeung?"
Liang Kun smiled and shook his head:
"Chiang Tin-Sung was doing quite well in Hong Kong, but who would have thought that Chiang Tin-Yeung in Siam would become his obsession?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Isn't that normal?"
"Chiang Tin-Sung was the eldest, designated as Hung Hing's successor from a young age, and received full training from Chiang Chen."
"Whether it was connections or resources, he had the best of everything."
"Chiang Tin-Sung probably thought he was doing well, and in reality, he was."
"But when he saw Chiang Tin-Yeung in Siam, who had inferior connections and resources, completely surpassing him, could you tolerate that if you were him?"
Liang Kun scoffed:
"That's because Chiang Tin-Sung lacks vision."
"Chiang Tin-Yeung is his own brother. It's one thing for him, the elder, to be incapable, but he insists on competing with the younger one."
"He should learn from me."
"Although I brought you up, you are stronger than me in every aspect."
"Do you see me being jealous of you?"
"The higher your status, the more I benefit from it."
Lin Feng gave a meaningful look at his children, who were talking to the Old Mother:
"You really are not as good as me!"
Liang Kun was stunned and said in annoyance:
"Can you not bring up old wounds?"
Lin Feng laughed heartily, letting Liang Kun off the hook this time.
Liang Kun then said:
"You sent Xiao Fu back home to recruit people. Can you handle Causeway Bay?"
Lin Feng smiled:
"It's better if it's chaotic right now."
Liang Kun was taken aback:
"What do you mean?"
Lin Feng smiled:
"I want to promote Security Company contracts in Causeway Bay. If everything is peaceful, who would I sell them to?"
Liang Kun stared at him for a long time,
"It's a good thing we're brothers, otherwise, I'd truly lose sleep."
"You're too cunning!"
The two smoked for a while, then Liang Kun asked again:
"Is there really nothing to worry about?"
Lin Feng asked amusedly:
"What are you worried about?"
"That Causeway Bay will be taken over by others?"
"It hasn't even been seven days since Si B's death; who the hell would dare to do something that violates Triad taboos?"
"Yiu Yeung? Chan Tin-hung? Ng Chi-Wai?"
"But that's my Causeway Bay!"
"Unless Szeto Ho-Nam has gone mad."
Liang Kun said:
"I discussed Tung Sing Yiu Yeung's matter with Chiang Tin-Sung."
"Let that guy be; as long as the Hall Masters are careful, there won't be a problem."
"Chan Ho-Nam isn't one of us from Hung Hing; if he dies, he dies."
Lin Feng asked:
"How's that kid Chicken?"
Liang Kun shrugged:
"Although that kid parted ways with Chan Ho-Nam, their feelings are still there."
"He was quite sad when he heard the news."
Lin Feng nodded slightly:
"Chicken is loyal; besides being lecherous, he has no other flaws."
Liang Kun was furious:
"Being lecherous isn't a flaw at all!"
"If you weren't lecherous, why would you marry so many wives?"
Lin Feng said bluntly:
"That's why I said it's a flaw."
Liang Kun was so choked up he couldn't speak; this younger brother was too infuriating.
However, he was clumsy with words and couldn't out-argue Lin Feng, so he simply hardened his heart and, in a fit of rage, reached for Lin Feng's head, rubbing and rubbing:
"I'll let you talk, I'll let you talk."
Lin Feng shouted:
"Godmother, big brother is going to hit me!"
Liang Kun froze slightly, thinking, *Oh no*.
This wasn't just anywhere; this was at the Old Mother's place.
Here, Lin Feng was invincible.
The Old Mother became angry and shouted:
"Ah Kun, why are you hitting your younger brother?"
"Get over here!"
The Old Mother grabbed Liang Kun's ear, and he obediently bent down, allowing the Old Mother to scold him.
Ho Man and Lok Wai-Jan covered their mouths and laughed.
During dinner, the Old Mother was very concerned about her two daughters-in-law's work,
Ho Man said:
"Schoolwork is still very important, but every class always has a few mischievous students."
"So young, not studying, yet thinking of joining the Triad; it gives me a headache."
The Old Mother immediately said:
"Ah Kun, did you hear Ah Min's words?"
"Tell your people to warn the Triads around the school. If anyone dares to recruit younger brothers in the school, beat them to death."
Liang Kun obediently said:
"Old Mother, I'm not involved with the Triad anymore."
The Old Mother sneered:
"I'm not blind!"
Liang Kun was speechless and could only agree.
Lok Wai-Jan then said:
"Godmother, I've just been running around reporting news, but now I'm transitioning and want to develop behind the scenes."
"Like becoming a producer or something."
The Old Mother nodded repeatedly:
"Having a long-term plan is even better."
"Youthful looks don't last long. Ah Feng has money, let him invest appropriately and let you make your own decisions."
Ho Man and Lok Wai-Jan exchanged a smile.
Their man was rich, but whether it was an international school or a TV station, his money probably wouldn't be enough.
Lin Feng looked at the Old Mother in surprise:
"Godmother, you've reminded me! I was just worrying about where to invest, but now it's good, now I have a place to invest."
The Old Mother immediately beamed.
Ho Man and Lok Wai-Jan were particularly surprised:
"Husband, are you serious?"
Lin Feng chuckled:
"Your husband has nothing else but money!"
After having dinner with the Old Mother, the two women followed Lin Feng home and brought up the matter again.
Lin Feng said:
"You know I've always valued education."
The two women nodded in unison.
As far as they knew, the first thing their man did after earning money from his work was to donate to his Mainland for education.
There was even a sister there now in charge of the education donations.
"Hong Kong will eventually return. Don't look at how glorious the Triads are now; you know the situation in the Mainland."
"If we can't maintain good relations with the Mainland in the future, everything we have now will become a fleeting cloud."
"Investing in education is the best umbrella for oneself."
"Of course, saying this sounds a bit utilitarian, but investing in education is always the right thing to do."
"Ah Min, are you interested in becoming a school director?"
Ho Man quickly said:
"I still prefer teaching on the front lines."
Lin Feng smiled:
"That doesn't matter. Who says a school director can't teach on the front lines?"
Ho Man thought for Lin Feng:
"Investing in a school is very expensive."
Lin Feng smiled and shook his head:
"It's nothing, your husband doesn't lack money."
Ho Man quickly said:
"Ah Feng, don't force yourself."
Lin Feng chuckled:
"When I was seven, I already knew not to pretend to be rich when you're not."
Ho Man was delighted. She sat beside Lin Feng, vigorously rubbing her creamy white big breasts against Lin Feng's arm.
Lok Wai-Jan immediately got anxious. She quickly sat on the other side:
"Ah Feng, what about me?"
Lin Feng said bluntly:
"Your position is even more important. We need a platform that can speak for yourself."
Lok Wai-Jan was confused:
"But TV there, it's impossible for them to accept investment."
Lin Feng rolled his eyes.
"Of course, I know that. No need to worry about it."
"Hong Kong doesn't only have one licensed TV station."
Lok Wai-Jan was stunned by Lin Feng's ambition:
"Ah, you want to acquire another TV station license?"
"How much money would that cost?"
Lin Feng chuckled:
"Don't worry about whether I have money or not. I just want to ask if you're prepared to be the chairman of a TV station?"
The little temptress was about to speak, but after thinking about it, she deflated:
"I'm still learning to be a producer."
"TV station chairman… I can't do it."
Ho Man found it amusing,
"Huizhen is tempted. I think you can give it a try."
Lok Wai-Jan said coquettishly:
"Big Sister… I'm afraid of wasting Ah Feng's money."
Lin Feng said seriously:
"If you don't know how to do it, learn slowly. These things aren't that difficult."
Lok Wai-Jan stuck out her tongue:
"This isn't difficult?"
Lin Feng nodded slightly:
"It's simply about relying on professionals to manage the company. It's definitely not difficult."
"...But it's not easy either, of course."
"You have to work hard."
Lok Wai-Jan extended her small fist, cheering herself on:
"I will definitely work hard!"
Lin Feng chuckled and pulled the two of them up,
"Come, come, let me see how great your determination to work hard is."
Ho Man spat at him:
"Pervert!"
However, she obediently followed behind her man, even quickening her pace a bit.
Lok Wai-Jan covered her mouth and laughed, her own heart racing.
She would definitely let Ah Feng know her determination.
Then Lin Feng worked overtime again until three in the morning.
Looking at the two sleeping women, Lin Feng felt a sense of accomplishment.
A man's sense of accomplishment is primarily in two areas—career and family.
The family aspect is simple: women.
If you can't conquer a woman in bed, then you must satisfy her in daily life. That's how many henpecked husbands come about.
"Ding, daily intelligence refreshed."
"Economy (Orange): Okamoto's subsidiary sold three nine-axis industrial machine tools to Big Mao in the North."
"Crime (White): Students from an international school stole Wong Bing-Yiu's beloved gun during a visit to the West Kowloon Police Headquarters, leaving him greatly troubled."
"Crime (White): Ting Hai has always believed that his and Fong Chun-San's predicament was forced upon them by Chow Kai-Sang, and he wants to go to Taiwan to seek revenge on Chow Kai-Sang."
Lin Feng looked speechlessly at the two sleeping women.
Goodness, they really were his lucky stars.
Although today's daily refresh had two white pieces of intelligence, a prominent orange one was already enough to be worth three purple ones.
Okamoto's subsidiary selling industrial machine tools to Big Mao in the North?
This matter seems like something that could be exploited.
Hmm, it can be well recorded.
Perhaps it will be useful later.
These two white pieces of intelligence weren't trash either. They were perfect for doing favors and, incidentally, helping Ho Man eliminate a hidden danger.
Also, in a couple of days, he could eat crab.
Lin Feng took a shower and happily snuggled with the two women to sleep.
However, Chen Taotao couldn't sleep all night, frantically researching how to deal with Chan Man-yin's connected holding method.
But no matter how he thought, he couldn't come up with anything.
Chen Taotao was somewhat obsessed.
Lin Feng's words immediately echoed in his mind,
"The Iron Chain Across the River is not difficult to deal with, but you are upright, so it's hard for you to break it."
Chen Taotao was incredulous, yet he had to believe it.
This was the reality before him.
That damned Iron Chain Across the River had actually stopped him.
Chen Taotao hadn't managed to break it even after a night of no sleep. He didn't believe the Iron Chain Across the River had no weakness; he just hadn't found it yet.
Lin Feng had also said that this thing definitely had a weakness, but it was because he was upright that he couldn't break it.
For the first time, Chen Taotao felt the constraints of his personality.
This was probably similar to what the ancients called "a gentleman can be deceived by propriety."
Chen Taotao slapped his face hard to make himself more alert. After washing up, it was time to go to the VIP room.
Just as he was washing up, Dashan Frank and Fang Ting rushed over together.
Chen Taotao was still very surprised:
"Why are you two here?"
Chen Taotao's demeanor was very relaxed. The team was currently in difficulty, and as the leader, he absolutely couldn't pass the pressure on to his subordinates.
However, even though he tried his best to bear it alone, his subordinates still felt immense pressure.
Dashan said:
"Tao Tao, our supply line has been cut!"
Chen Taotao's hand, which was shaving, paused, almost cutting his face. He then nonchalantly completed the action:
"What happened?"
Dashan said in distress:
"The president of Wanguo Bank went to Europe. When the market closed yesterday, Chan Man-yin also went and convinced the president of Wanguo Bank."
"They didn't approve our submitted funding request!"
Boom.
Chen Taotao's mind was in turmoil.
Lin Feng's words echoed in his ears again:
"Be careful of Wanguo Bank. Those not of our kind are sure to have different intentions. They will betray you."
He really had predicted it.
Dashan anxiously asked:
"Tao Tao, what should we do?"
Chen Taotao said seriously:
"Even if the supply line is cut, if we want to break the deadlock, we must first figure out how to break Chan Man-yin's connected holding strategy."
"If we can't even break the game set by the opponent, and don't have even a sliver of hope for a comeback, we can only stare blankly."
Dashan and Fang Ting exchanged glances, both helpless.
Chen Taotao said:
"Mr. Lin Feng reminded me yesterday that Chan Man-yin would use the Iron Chain Across the River to deal with me again."
"He told me a crucial piece of information."
