Because there were some procedures to complete, Uncle Er went ahead of time. Second Master Weng was going to meet Chen Rou at the highway exit.
At the highway entrance, upon hearing that Mr. Dong had also arrived and wanted to say a few words to her, Chen Rou got out of the car.
It had only been a few days since they last met. Chen Rou wasn't surprised to see the car window roll down, but she still said, "You probably haven't been sleeping well these past few days?"
Human aging is a phased process and is irreversible. Originally, Mr. Dong still had a few strands of hair and looked a bit younger, but in just a few days, almost all of his hair fell out, and his wrinkles deepened considerably.
He had the report materials he was going to use for the presentation in his own hands. There was a printed copy and a handwritten copy. He didn't know if anyone would read it, or if they would let him and his men off the hook after reading it. He handed the handwritten copy to Chen Rou and said, "I've revised it three times and five times. I've been working on it for several days. This is the final draft."
He added, “Weng Hua originally wrote a version, focusing on the unavoidable circumstances and difficulties our Yi Yong Hall faced at the beginning. But after thinking it over, while there may have been some unavoidable circumstances when we first went into business, Yi Yong Hall has continued to grow and expand, and now occupies half of Kowloon. I am reluctant to let my subordinates leave. It is not out of necessity, but because of my greed. I have realized my mistake in this regard. During this period, I will disband the hall.”
Seeing Chen Rou flipping through the manuscript, he said, "Let's skip the flowery words and just state the facts. That will put my mind at ease."
After thinking about it again, Shuang said, "Brother Liang sent 12 big koi fish and said he would send another 12 later. When A Yuan comes back, I will definitely ask him to come to the hall. I am not as stingy as Er, who will not even let the children play with a single fish."
Chen Rou had already read it through once. She frowned and sighed, pointing to a passage and saying, "What you wrote here, when you saw Xiang Tiange die, you knew that the opportunity to become the number one boss in Kowloon had come. You made a decisive move, leading your men to seize territory, vowing to become the number one boss in Kowloon, leading your brothers to go even further, making a fortune and showing off your power. Second Boss Weng must have been very unwilling and had a disagreement with you, but you insisted on writing it this way?"
Mr. Dong is a rough man with little education; he writes whatever comes to mind.
He nodded, but the second-in-command, Weng, standing next to Chen Rou, shook his head and sighed.
He was closer to Master Dong than a father and son, and he knew Master Dong was a good person, but he just couldn't quite get along with him.
They could have embellished and beautified themselves, like Er Ye, washing themselves into a fresh, innocent, and pure-hearted green tea flower.
But Master Dong insisted on writing according to his own ideas. Weng Hua wrote it, but he was unsure of himself.
However, Chen Rou's disagreements with the two of them, as well as Dong Ye's report, reflect a third-party perspective.
She smiled and said, "Thank you for your honesty. Sincerity is a killer move. This material is especially good."
Mr. Dong had a "what's the use" attitude and didn't have high hopes for the report, but when his granddaughter praised it, he suddenly smiled: "Really? Is this report really that good?"
Chen Rou nodded, then looked at the second-in-command of the Weng family: "We are here to give a report, not to play the victim and gain sympathy. Uncle Weng, please remember one thing: always act based on the facts. You cannot play the victim or distort the facts."
Like Master Er, Second Master Weng was still unsure of what the future held, so he naturally did whatever the young lady said.
He has two wives and five children. His second wife is pregnant again recently in an attempt to gain more of his assets.
He was truly exhausted and deeply regretful. Why had he been so foolish as to take a concubine? At his age, if he were to have an affair in mainland China, both his wives would likely be devastated.
He nodded vigorously: "I will do whatever Miss says."
He added, "Young Miss, today I finally understand your intelligence and wisdom. Without you, we would probably have met a tragic end."
Indeed, in Chen Rou's previous life, these two old men fought each other relentlessly and eventually died on the eve of the handover. The one who purged all the gangsters and took the lead in bowing to the mainland was the boss of an entertainment company.
They didn't contribute much to Kowloon, yet they reaped all the glory and favorable resources after the handover.
Song Yuanchao stepped forward and reminded her, "Madam, we don't have much time left, we should go."
Master Dong quickly asked one more question: "Where's A-Yuan?"
But then she angrily handed over an envelope and said, "Forget it, don't say anything more. I don't want to hear anything from that despicable, shameless, hypocritical old bastard. This is an IOU. Arou, stop now."
The thought of his adorable grandson, A Yuan, going to see the world with his grandfather made Grandpa Dong furious. That hypocritical old man had stolen his little grandson away, but thankfully he still had a considerate granddaughter, otherwise he'd be crying his eyes out.
Because Nie Han refused to go home, Chen Rou forgot to tell him something.
She was wearing a complete Versace dress and a thin wool coat. As she grew older, she finally realized that she could not use her younger sister as a model and found a more suitable style of dress for herself.
She has a small frame and is shorter than Chen Rou, but she has an hourglass figure with a full bust and a slender waist, giving her a unique feminine charm. However, there is one downside: because she is a bit chubby, she looks bulky when wearing more clothes.
But Chen Rou had just been reminded by Chen Ke that it was snowing in the capital today, so she had to wear more clothes.
Chen Rou couldn't find any thermal underwear in Hong Kong, but she put on an extra pair of sweatpants. When she saw Nie Han's bare legs, she said, "It's snowing heavily in the capital. Quickly ask Song Zai to find you a pair of long pants and a cotton coat too."
Nie Han was quite happy: "Wow, we can see snow! Then we can go skiing too!"
