Chapter 417 Before the Waves

Their repeated appearances clearly indicate they have bad intentions.

Zhao Sheng glanced at him, feeling annoyed, and took half a step forward to block part of the bedbug's sight, then turned his head to speak to Lin Yiyi.

"Go wait for me in the car."

"Okay." Lin Yiyi nodded, got in the car and looked at the street scene, with most of her attention focused on the two people not far away.

Yang Wanchun, wearing a white and black police uniform, asked with a playful smile, "Brother Zhao, why did you come to Gang City? The first two times I saw you, I thought I saw you wrongly."

"How did you get here? So..." Zhao Sheng didn't want to reveal his identity, so he was deliberately vague.

"Your clothes are nice."

"Compared with Brother Zhao's luxury cars and beautiful women, it's nothing." When the mining incident broke out in 1975, Yang Wanchun took away all the gold nuggets and hopped on a train to the south.

He had no home to return to and could not make ends meet, so he later took a boat and smuggled into the port city, where he took the identity of a person who had died on the same boat and went to live with his cousin.

He settled down with a relative and worked as an informant for his police uncle for a while, solving many cases, big and small. When his uncle became sheriff, he became a police officer.

"Cherish it after it has been transformed." Zhao Sheng looked impatient. There was no need to deal with such a person.

He left after saying this and drove away.

Yang Wanchun watched the black car go away, wondering what gang did he join to achieve such success in such a short period of time? Or what society did he join?

He walked to the mobile vendor's stall, took off his police hat, and collected one or two dollar coins from the vendors.

Zhong’s house is surrounded by flowers halfway up the mountain.

Mrs. Zhong spent the New Year with her eldest brother's family in Southeast Asia and flew back to Hong Kong this afternoon.

Dinner was arranged at Mrs. Zhong’s residence.

As soon as Lin Yiyi and Zhao Sheng returned home, Zhong's mother urged them to go back to their room and change into the formal clothes she had prepared.

A brocade floral-scented crimson cheongsam with a stand-up collar and a suit.

Two jewelry boxes.

Lin Yiyi opened the brocade box and was obviously shocked again by her mother-in-law's wealth: a pair of jade earrings and a men's diamond watch.

Zhao Sheng unbuttoned his clothes and changed them. Seeing her in a daze, he smiled and said, "Here, keep it. The Yang family doesn't lack these old things."

Lin Yiyi nodded blankly. She was in a very dizzy state. She had just arrived in Hong Kong yesterday morning. In just two days, her mother-in-law gave her four valuable pieces of jewelry.

The pocket money her father-in-law gave her was 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, which might seem ordinary in modern times. If she hadn't read those newspapers, she might not have such a clear and definite value system for money in this era.

In Hong Kong in 1979, residential units ranging from 400 to 800 square feet only cost between 80,000 and 160,000.

Her life of winning without doing anything seemed to have started inexplicably.

It was Lin Yiyi’s first time wearing a cheongsam and she felt particularly awkward looking in the mirror. The cheongsam should have belonged to Zhong’s mother, as the area around the chest had been altered.

The side slits reveal her thighs and bulging chest, which makes her look a little too sexy no matter how you look at her, making her look more frivolous and flirtatious.

Zhao Sheng waited outside for a long time but saw no one. He went into the closet and behind the screen, he saw his beloved looking at herself in the mirror, his dark eyes were filled with amazement.

He had always known that she was attractively voluptuous and slender.

He had seen the women of the Yang family wearing cheongsams, but none of them wore it as beautifully and seductively as she did.

"Get out quickly, I need to change clothes." Lin Yiyi saw the man behind her in the mirror and glared at him.

"Aren't they all changed?"

Lin Yiyi felt that it was too sexy and was a little shy, "It would be more appropriate for me to wear my own skirt."

Seeing that she was about to change her skirt, Zhao Sheng stopped her and said, "Everyone is waiting for you, don't change it, you look very beautiful in the cheongsam."

Lin Yiyi was picked up by the man and she was afraid of falling, so she hurriedly wrapped her arms around his neck and cried out, "Put me down, I haven't put on my shoes yet."

In the end, Lin Yiyi still wore a cheongsam and took a car to go to Mrs. Zhong's residence.

After getting off the car just a few minutes after getting on, Lin Yiyi looked puzzled and asked softly, "Why do you have to drive so close?"

Zhao Sheng squeezed her palm and explained in a gentle voice, "Mrs. Zhong is a lady who pays great attention to her appearance and etiquette. It is natural that these procedures are indispensable when attending a family dinner."

Lin Yiyi followed the man out of the car and up the stairs. Before she even walked into the gate, she could hear the classical music inside.

She thought she was visiting her grandmother for a home-cooked meal, but she didn't expect it to be a real dinner.

In addition to the Zhong family, there is also the Yang family.

A candlelight Western-style dinner was held in the back garden of the villa. Zhao Sheng and Lin Yiyi arrived a little late, but fortunately no one noticed them.

"Jiasheng, why are you here just now? This must be my sister-in-law. She is indeed a great beauty as her reputation has it."

"Something happened on the way and delayed me a little."

Zhao Sheng greeted him and introduced someone to Lin Yiyi, "Yiyi, this is my eldest cousin Yang Yuhao."

Lin Yiyi smiled and said, "Hello, cousin."

"Don't be so formal, just call me by my name or cousin."

What followed were various introductions and greetings. Lin Yiyi met all her relatives, and except for her peers, all the elders gave her gifts.

Old Mrs. Zhong gave her a peace amulet, her eldest uncle Yang Yan gave her a tourmaline gold crab, and her second uncle Yang Wei gave her an imported car.

He is generous and inhumane.

Lin Yiyi doesn't know how to drive and originally wanted to refuse, but the occasion did not allow her to do so. Accepting other people's gifts but not accepting her second uncle's gift was purely looking for trouble.

Mother Zhong looked at her son and daughter-in-law and felt that they looked like a perfect match, with the husband singing the same tune and the wife following the same path, a perfect match.

Everyone arrived and the dinner began.

The happy gathering soon came to an end with the casual chatting and tasting.

Lin Yiyi felt that she had been poisoned by the television she had watched in the past.

In the rich theater, face-to-face expressions, stumbling and spilling wine simply do not exist.

Everyone is very polite and courteous, and they are unwilling to do anything that would lower their status by rolling their eyes or curling their lips.

Even her peers were not so weird as to ridicule and mock her to her face just because she was from the north.

After the dinner, the men were chatting in the lounge, while Lin Yiyi was played mahjong by her mother-in-law.

She didn't know how to go east, west, south, north or centre, and had no money to buy codes, so she sat aside and ate fruit.

Yang Wanwan came forward to start a conversation: "Cousin, you can come and play with me when you have nothing to do."

Unable to figure out other people's intentions, Lin Yiyi was usually very hypocritical, "Okay, cousin, let's talk about it when we have time."

"Cousin, you grew up in the north, how come your skin is so good? And you're so beautiful?" Yang Wanwan had seen the news about smuggling on TV, and for the first time she began to doubt the images reported on it.

Lin Yiyi laughed and joked: "If you eat well, you will grow well. There is no pollution in the north, and the food is all natural."

“…”Is there such a saying?

Yang Wanwan didn't believe it: "Cousin, you are really humorous."

lounge.

When Zhao Sheng heard his two uncles and Zhong's father discussing the current situation, his expression was no longer as relaxed as before.

It’s a problem all the time, and the Yang family is anxious to transform their industry.

"Have the two uncles considered the land of Jiulongcang?"

Yang Yan sighed: "Jiulongcang has issued nearly 100 million shares. We don't have that much cash flow and can't swallow it all."

“After 1974, the shipping industry was hit by a depression. We were eager to transform and expand, and invested in acquiring too many companies, which led to insufficient cash flow.

He was forced to seek help from HSBC Bank and transferred one-third of the shares of Heji Foreign Trade Company in exchange for 120 million yuan.

"The group is now in a situation of lack of cash flow, but not lack of land."
