When children reach a certain age, they should be given candy; Nie Zhao had planned this long ago.

But he only has 8 baby teeth now, and his mother-in-law is already feeding him candy. Isn't that a bit too early?

Moreover, the candy packaging was so rudimentary, with absolutely no regard for food hygiene, that Nie Zhao was extremely unwilling.

But while A Yuan was feeding him, his wife sat down beside him and also picked one up: "Try it, this one is very sweet."

Helpless, Nie Zhao had no choice but to put it in his mouth. It tasted a little salty, probably from A Yuan's saliva and the sweat on his hands.

But after chewing for a while, Nie Zhao nodded sincerely: "This candy tastes good."

With its rich milky flavor and silky smooth syrup, Boss Nie, with his extremely discerning palate, found the candy quite delicious.

But after eating this sticky candy, A-Yuan's eight teeth must be cleaned very carefully, otherwise, the sugar juice will stick on them and breed bacteria, which will cause cavities later.

Chen Rou arranged to meet Secretary Qiao from the Civil Affairs Bureau at the hotel to give her the cash to buy a house, as well as recommendations on which houses to buy. She also asked about some current work at the Civil Affairs Bureau. While the two chatted in the reception room, Nie Zhao focused intently on brushing his son's eight teeth, making sure each one was spotless.

A-Yuan was naturally quite impatient. Standing on the sink, he imitated the whistling of a motorcycle one moment and the whistling of a ship the next, making "dududu" sounds. He discovered that toothpaste could produce small bubbles, so he deliberately blew bubbles onto his father's face.

Nie Zhao got his face covered in toothpaste foam, but he was always patient and only said, "A Yuan, you can't do that, you can't do that."

It was already after dinner, and for Yue Zhongqi, Nie Tai was a fairly familiar friend.

But compared to his fiancée, Secretary Qiao, although they are both women, she is on the ground, while Nie Tai is at the top of the pyramid. Their past encounter was accidental, and it is now. But why do people like to chase after and befriend the rich? It is because even a brief encounter with the rich can bring great benefits to ordinary people.

Because of her interest in Mrs. Nie, Secretary Qiao found a promising husband. Buying a house now will benefit her greatly for many years to come. But of course, the conversation had to stop there. Chen Rou checked her watch and took the money to leave.

If Secretary Qiao were to tell this, probably no one would believe it. She was actually quite surprised, because in her mind, even if a rich person went out, they would definitely bring eight servants with them and wouldn't need to take care of their children themselves. But she chatted with Mrs. Nie for about 20 minutes. During those 20 minutes, Hong Kong's richest man was brushing his son's teeth and changing his diapers. Judging from the sound, the richest man's little brat was also quite naughty. But Chairman Nie never got angry or impatient from beginning to end.

It's strange, given Secretary Qiao's stereotype that the richer a person is, the worse their temper should be.

Putting aside her joy at finally having enough money to buy a house, Chen Rou saw off the guests and saw Secretary An waiting in the service area with a food cart, so she asked, "It's already nine o'clock, hasn't your boss eaten yet?"

Secretary An briefly recounted her visit to the construction site that day and the phone call from Nie Jiajun, then pushed the cart into the restaurant and set out the food.

He set out the food and left. Usually, even if he was full, A-Yuan would still want to taste the food before his father ate. But today, he had no interest in the food. Instead, he grabbed the remote control, pointed at the TV, and said, "Electric, watch, watch!"

Nie Zhao touched his son's tummy again and looked at his wife: "Ms. Li has the TV on and has been feeding A Yuan quite a bit of food."

Using television to coax children into eating spoonfuls of duck blood is a common practice among most people born in the 1960s. A Yuan's little belly was bulging from being fed. Chen Rou felt she was in the wrong and quickly raised her finger, saying, "It was just once in a while, and I already told her off."

Fearing that Nie Zhao would continue to nag, she changed the subject and talked about what Nie Jiajun had mentioned on the phone.

She said, "Cheung Tze-keung's weapons must be hidden in the underground sewage system in Kowloon. He probably also planned to sneak directly into Chung Yee Tong through the underground sewage system, kill Master Ye, and lure me into a trap."

Unlike Master Dong, whose men were still around, Master Er had essentially disbanded his gang and only had a few people around him. If Zhang Zi had crawled out through the sewage pipes and then killed someone, it would have been very easy for him.

Nie Zhao asked his wife, "Should we inform Master Er in advance so that he can gather his men and block up the underground sewage system?"

Chen Rou shook her head and asked Nie Zhao, "If the Nie family wants to split up in the future, do you think you can make all the children feel comfortable, convinced, and that your decision to split up is the right one?"

Nie Zhao also shook his head: "No, because greed is human nature."

He added, “Everything has two sides. Your early disbandment of the gang will make it easier for Chen Ke to speak on your behalf in the capital, leaving a good impression on the mainland. However, his early division of the family business will inevitably cause resentment among his subordinates.”

Chen Rou said, "So we can't use his people, not even Brother Ji. The best way is not to tell him first, but to hand things over to Master Dong's men. We can learn from their experience and let Master Dong protect Master Er."

People like Awei, Ameng, Axiong, and Azhuang all received property from Master Er, and on the surface, they were naturally extremely grateful.

But who knows if they feel resentful or if they think that Master Er's division of the family property was unfair?

In ordinary families, once brothers separate, they become outsiders and quarrel. How much more so in a triad, where brothers are merely sworn brothers.

There aren't many precedents of gangsters betraying their gangs, but it's not unheard of, so we should be wary.

Nie Zhao was actually a little dissatisfied with the mainland police officers. It had been so long and they still hadn't found Zhang Ziqiang's tunnel. He couldn't help but wonder: "Arou, are Chen Ke and the others used to fighting in open battle and not used to street fighting?"

He added, "Kowloon is just a tiny place, and the underground area isn't very big either. How come they're still stuck in a maze of ghosts?"
