1990s Hong Kong: Waking Up as the Kidnapped Tycoon's Sister-in-Law

Chen Rou first meets Nie Zhao because of an anti-terrorism case involving Hong Kong's wealthy elite. He is the richest man in Hong Kong for many years, and a renowned powerful figure. Even thou...

Chapter 408 It's not shameful to do it for money.

Only his father understood his slurred words and body language.

When Secretary An saw that the young master was making a scene, and just then Song Yuanchao arrived, she quickly handed the troublesome young master over to him.

Although A Yuan was wearing a mask and no one was taking pictures, Song Yuanchao immediately covered the child's face with his hand and quickly crossed the courtyard to the parking lot. Next to their two Mercedes-Benz cars was a BMW 750, which was Wang Meng's car. Several people were standing around, one of whom was the one who had drunk with Song Yuanchao last night.

At this moment, Hua Dian arrived. Song Yuanchao turned around and handed A Yuan over to Secretary An.

Then suddenly he raised his hand and walked straight toward the driver, his index finger almost poking into the driver's eye.

He startled Secretary An, because he raised one hand, held up his index finger, and walked straight over. Before the other person could react, his index finger was already about to poke into the driver's eye.

The driver was startled and immediately stood at attention, straightening up and then bowing his head.

Of course, they didn't exchange a single word, and Wang Meng watched from a distance, not daring to come over.

Once everyone was on the bus, Song Yuanchao started the car, but as he drove away, his eyes remained fixed on the driver.

Of course, as soon as he left, he immediately confessed: "Madam, I had dinner with those drivers last night."

He added, "You should know that I originally just wanted to find out about their work and compensation, but..."

However, logically speaking, if he was working as a bodyguard in Hong Kong and wanted to see his former comrades, it meant he wanted to help them. And even a fool should know that Hong Kong is much better than the mainland in terms of salary and work.

However, there was one idiot who betrayed Song Yuanchao, how could he not be angry?

He also sincerely reflected on his mistakes: "I made a mistake today, and I will learn from it and not make the same mistake again."

Actually, Chen Rou didn't think it was a big deal. She said, "It has little to do with you."

He added, "Yesterday, Uncle Liang's cars were stranded on the road, causing a huge traffic jam. Yue Zhongqi made a special call to ask for cars. Moreover, he works in Hong Kong. Even without those drivers, Wang Meng would have thought of our arrival."

He added, "If he wants to make money, he has to find a way to befriend me. We can't avoid this."

Liang Lisheng was in another car with two local staff members. It wasn't appropriate to ask him since he wasn't there. Song Yuanchao sighed and said, "Do we have to cooperate with him? I've heard he has a lot of connections and influence."

Chen Rou didn't know how Liang Lisheng and Nie Zhao had discussed it, but she said, "It shouldn't be necessary."

He added, “We might have a tougher start and spend more money, but we’ll get things done thoroughly. Working with Mr. Wang will cost the same amount of money, but he’ll take a cut. Things might be done faster, but if the higher-ups investigate the procedures later, it’ll be like taking shortcuts for fire safety, waterproofing, and insulation in a building. If you take shortcuts, people will keep bothering you. In the end, you’ll spend more money than if you didn’t work with him.”

Secretary An was also in the car. She turned around, smiled, and said, "Madam is quite experienced."

He added, "The Shaw Brothers came to the capital to develop real estate much later than us, but they started construction much earlier. Moreover, construction is not allowed in the north during winter, but they defied the ban and continued construction. It seems that this Mr. Wang helped them with it."

Chen Rou said, "Let's wait and see. All things considered, the costs they incur will only be higher."

Song Yuanchao said thoughtfully, "But in my hometown, everyone likes to use connections and back channels."

Then he asked Chen Rou, "So, Madam, you mean that it's better not to leave?"

It depends on the reason, but from Chen Rou's perspective of the future, if foreign investors do business in a proper and honest manner, the preferential policies provided by the government will be sufficient.

But if they try to get involved with the local bullies, they'll inevitably end up losing everything.

However, that Wang Meng, who condoned and helped the Guo brothers do so many things in Shenzhen, would have been a corrupt official with a net worth of billions if it weren't for Chen Rou's intervention. Currently, Guo Fuzheng, as a witness, is also coming to the capital to cooperate with the police investigation into Zhang Ziqiang.

Chen Rou couldn't help but wonder if she could get Guo Fuzheng and Wang Meng involved to make something of it.

After all, there are plenty of local bullies, unscrupulous businessmen, and pimps in the world, but no one dared to mess with him. Wang Meng, however, set his sights on Chen Rou because he had his eye on the Nie family's big cake and wanted to get a piece of it.

Since he's come to her doorstep, wouldn't it be disrespectful for Chen Rou not to teach him a lesson?

They were still going back to the hotel for lunch. Chen Rou felt something was off, and then suddenly realized that the car was too quiet. With a baby in the car, it shouldn't be this quiet.

She looked back at A-Yuan and saw the little guy holding a bamboo dragonfly in his hand, silently lost in thought. So she asked, "Where did this come from? Whose toy is it? Should we return it to its owner?"

Is that why Mom noticed A-Yuan's sadness and disappointment?

The little guy pouted and said, "Sister, sister."

It's a bamboo dragonfly that kids make by hand; they can make it fly by rubbing it vigorously with their hands for a while.

That was also a small toy that Chen Rou often played with when she was a child.

The complexity of people lies in the fact that although Chen Rou lacked parental love when she was young, she did not lack friends. On the contrary, she had many good friends. After growing up, many of them just went out to find work, such as carrying bricks, laying cement, or working as waiters or cleaners.

Or she could go to a factory arranged by the welfare home. Because everyone was busy with work, they rarely saw each other after they grew up. However, she never lacked friendships. Playing house was also the greatest joy of her childhood.

Although her child enjoys the love of both parents and a comfortable material life, there is clearly one thing that would be a great luxury for him: to happily play house with a group of real children who are not only involved in money and interests.

Ah Yuan, holding up the little bamboo dragonfly, repeated, "Sister."

Chen Rou could only say, "If we have time tomorrow or the day after, Mom will take you to see your sister again, okay?"

Ah Yuan was in the stroller, unable to reach his mother, but he leaned his little head against her.

Upon seeing this, Secretary An sent a text message to the boss: "Boss, the young master seems to really like the Military Museum. His wife promised him he would come again next time, and he seems very happy."

Nie Zhao was reading documents in his office when he loosened his tie, leaned back, and closed his eyes.

He knew all along that A-Yuan was just like his mother, only interested in knives, guns, and clubs.

So he'll probably have another daughter, one who's smarter than Nie Han, has a business sense, but isn't love-struck.
