It will be another four or five years before they can return. These two old men still have a lot to fight about.
But it's foreseeable that as Er Ye's singing becomes increasingly popular, Dong Ye will definitely want to learn it too.
Will there come a day when everyone in Kowloon sings revolutionary songs?
Chen Rou had no energy to deal with the little squabble between the two old men, so she pretended not to know and left it at that.
She came for a big reason, and if that matter could be accomplished, it would have great significance for the macro-development of Hong Kong and the mainland coast. After all, in her previous life, during these few years, the stock market was turbulent, social order was chaotic, a large amount of capital fled, and prices soared. If Chen Ke and his group could be brought in ahead of time, it would be possible to curb some of the situation.
After explaining the general situation to Dong Ye, she said, "As long as we fight with words and not with force, it's fine. But the mainland would be happier to see you join hands and support the return of the mainland. We still have to fight, but we'll fight privately, quietly, and internally. When it comes to external forces, especially the mainland, we'll unite as one."
When facing the mainland, the Kowloon triads become a unified entity once again.
Chinese people have a deep-seated concept that behind closed doors, even if it's a fight to the death, when the door is open, they must stand united against the outside world.
So Mr. Dong said almost without hesitation, "You set the time, and I'll do some ideological work with them."
Chen Rou was stunned for a moment, thinking to herself that the old man probably didn't know that his generals were already so close to the people of Zhongyi Hall that they were practically inseparable.
Ah Lang and Ah Bao were outside the door, probably afraid that Chen Rou would reveal their secret. They peeked out at the same time and said, "Father, although we are sworn enemies with the people of Zhongyi Hall, we will do anything that is good for our young lady."
Seeing their guilty looks, Chen Rou understood.
Although they told Master Dong about making extra money, they kept their little flirtation with the Zhongyi Hall a secret, probably because they were afraid Master Dong would be unhappy if he found out and would punish them.
It's good to play dumb sometimes, so Chen Rou didn't say much about it, only saying, "Then I'll wait for good news."
She wanted to leave, and Mr. Dong thought he should stand up, but he couldn't.
He leaned forward, his legs buckled, and he almost fell, but Chen Rou reacted quickly and caught him.
He said in a low voice, "I heard that Nie Zhao still hasn't had the child's blood tested?"
Hong Kong's medical facilities are very advanced. Not only can they perform ultrasounds, but they can also do blood tests. Basically, the sex of the fetus can be determined through a blood test at around 8 weeks. Chen Rou is already two months pregnant, so it is indeed possible to test.
In wealthy families, determining the sex of the fetus early is standard practice, but Nie Zhao did not mention it. Moreover, she talked to the doctor about avoiding blood tests and extra prenatal checkups during pregnancy as much as possible, fearing too much radiation.
So it's not that he hasn't been tested yet, but rather that he never intended to be tested in the first place.
It is currently known that it is a single birth, with only one baby.
Chen Rou didn't want to know the baby's condition beforehand. Anyway, she could prepare two sets of clothes and deal with it after the baby was born. She could accept either a boy or a girl, as long as the baby was healthy. She didn't like Dong Ye's attitude either, because it was obvious that he wanted a boy. Sure enough, Dong Ye said, "After all, it's the first child. It would be even better if it's a boy."
Chen Rou nodded: "It seems you're quite disappointed that I'm a girl, so you're pinning your hopes on my belly?"
Dong Ye, known in the underworld as a true villain, didn't hide anything: "A girl has to suffer a lot to become like you. I feel sorry for you and don't want any of my Dong family's bloodline to suffer like you. Boys don't have to worry about these things; suffering is what they should do."
Chen Rou didn't intentionally want a girl, or rather, a boy.
Unlike Nie Zhao, she couldn't quickly assume the role of a father. In fact, she doubted whether she would be a good mother and didn't want to talk too much about her child. She simply said, "Remember to make some billboards, and they should be bilingual in Chinese and English, because there might be many international journalists coming. We need to have a two-way exchange in terms of language."
...
On the other hand, now that the soup had been delivered, Master Er knew that Chen Rou had gone to Yiyong Hall first.
But instead of feeling uncomfortable, he felt a deep sense of heartache for Chen Rou.
Because for both men and women, getting married means having children.
Since Master Dong already knows about Chen Rou's pregnancy, and Wolf, Insect, Tiger, Leopard, and Mighty Strong have been spending every day together lately, secretly playing together at night, Master Er will naturally find out as well.
Give him soup first, then go see Master Dong. Chen Rou is still in her pregnancy nausea period, so that bowl of water was served with utmost care.
Since Chen Rou had arrived and it was almost noon, she naturally decided to have lunch at his place.
They could have called the chef, but Chen Rou thought it was too much trouble. It wasn't far from home, so she and Er Ye went to the famous Chen Ji Fatty Intestine Noodles. They each ordered a bowl of noodles and a small portion of rice noodle rolls.
Master Er's cleverness lies in the fact that since he knew about Chen Rou's pregnancy in private, he wouldn't say it out loud and would only talk about business: "Although Master Dong's side started the demolition first, our side is progressing faster."
Chen Rou shoveled a big mouthful of noodles and said with a smile, "I heard from A-Zhao that some landlords were unwilling to relocate, and it was you who went door-to-door to persuade them. He asked me to thank you for supporting his work."
Master Er smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Opening a temple requires a lot of worry, especially since we're family."
This small restaurant specializing in pork intestines is as clean as its intestines. The owner smiled and said, "Our Master Er is a real philanthropist. Many landlords invest their money in the stock market, but when he sees this, he always advises against it."
