Chapter 237 Trouble
There was a smile in his words, and there was confidence in him, as if he was someone who came in and out of here all year round.
In just a moment, Chen Zhuyi determined the identity of this person. Being able to work steadily at the dock for many years, he must be a descendant of a merchant family, and moreover, a family with some capabilities in the port city.
She turned around slowly, a faint smile between her brows, and extended her hand: "I'm new here, and I'd like to see if there's any chance for me to stay."
I don’t know how many people are trying their best to stay in Hong Kong City. It’s not too surprising that Chen Zhu came here with capital to do business.
Mo Cuilin reached out and held Chen Zhuyi's hand, his eyes becoming more and more fiery, as if he wanted to get closer.
But Chen Zhuyi, who had been on guard for a long time, had already withdrawn his hand and distanced himself from him, with a hint of coldness in his eyes: "Sir, don't you want to introduce yourself?"
She is not such a casual woman.
Mo Cuilin felt a little disappointed, but he immediately pulled himself together and straightened his back: "I am the third master of the Mo family, Mo Cuilin."
"So it's Mr. Mo San. I've heard of your name for a long time. I didn't expect to meet such a formidable figure like you just after we entered Hong Kong City."
Chen Zhu showed a look of sudden enlightenment and spoke out words of praise as if they were free.
Hong Kong is currently controlled by four major families.
The Mo family, the Yao family, the Wu family, and the Gongsun family are four families that seized the opportunity to stay in Hong Kong, and they usually have a lot of friction with each other.
Huo Jinzhi and his men tried to contact the Wu family several times, and even inquired about the Gongsun family. Although they were not directly exposed, they did not gain any useful information.
The four major families also have their own ways to maintain a strange balance.
Every year, they would select the president of the joint chamber of commerce, who would decide on development matters.
The so-called president is elected by people from the four major families. The one in power now is the Mo family, and the Mo family supports the existence of foreign villains.
"Since you're new here, why don't you come with me and take a look around? Even if you want to do business, with me, Third Master Mo, taking care of you, who can possibly make you unhappy?"
Mo Cuilin was a person who couldn't control his temper, and he wished he could pull Chen Zhu away right now.
But he was also wary of the power of other families and did not dare to make any big moves easily.
But as long as people are willing to go with him and arrive at the Mohist school, won't they be able to be controlled by him?
The astonished gazes around had obviously subsided a lot, and some even seemed to be lamenting and regretting Chen Zhuyi's fate.
How could a young girl who had just arrived have the courage to refuse Mr. Mo Sanye's request?
"Thank you for your kindness, but... now that we're here, we should slowly choose our path instead of making a hasty decision."
Chen Zhu's smile was gentle, yet it had a certain degree of arrogance that made him capable of achieving great results with little effort.
She was bound to offend some people anyway, and the look in the eyes of Mr. Mo San really made her feel very uncomfortable!
"With my help, why are you still hesitating?" Mo Cuilin's patience was on the verge of disappearing, and his face was slightly stern.
If someone else had come here and seen Mr. Mo Sanye's attitude, they would have lowered their heads long ago. However, Chen Zhu just looked at him calmly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes, and slowly shook his head: "But I believe in myself more."
"Third Master has a high status here, so it's not difficult for him to help me accomplish something. But after all, I can't rely on the Mo family. We are not related to each other, and you are so kind to me..."
"I think you are a very good girl. My family is urging me to marry you, so I want to marry you." Mo Cuilin interrupted Chen Zhuyi and looked at her with an affectionate look.
If such a beautiful woman is sensible, it will not be a problem to have her at home in the future. He can even marry several more!
"Marry me?" Chen Zhu paused.
She knew before that Hong Kong was quite open and often retained old customs and habits. Even having several wives in a wealthy family was not a shocking thing.
But I didn't expect that I would be proposed to as soon as I arrived here!
"If you want to do business here but don't have connections, you'll end up dead. Smart people know what to do."
There was a look of certainty in Mo Cuilin's eyes. He believed that anyone who wanted to stay here and make money would know what was important.
"If the business really can't be done, then don't do it. I'm not short of money." Chen Zhu looked at him with a smile and refused again.
There were some panicked gasps around, and in full view of everyone, Chen Zhuyi took Zhou Siwei and Zhou Fuming away from here and entered the booked hotel.
All the decorations that came into view were extremely luxurious, and Zhou Fumin felt jealous. Seeing Zhou Siyi's calm appearance, he coughed heavily and suppressed the urge to exclaim.
"This is considered the most luxurious hotel. It's owned by the Gongsun family." Chen Zhuyi noticed the badge in the corner and whispered to Zhou Fumin about it.
A special person came to deliver the things into the room. The elevator climbed up floor by floor. Zhou Fumin's body was tense and he huddled in the corner, as if he might jump down at any time.
I don’t know which floor it was, but there were exclamations and cheers one after another. The fragrance wafted over from the other side, making people feel itchy.
"What place is over there?" Chen Zhuyi asked.
The waiter who followed her answered respectfully: "Miss Shen, that's the casino. Usually everyone relaxes and has a little fun. You and your husband have chosen the most luxurious suite. We have prepared chips for you."
He sent the person to the door and then handed the chips in his hand to Chen Zhuyi.
With such a respectful attitude, it’s no wonder that so many people are willing to live here.
"This is a suite. You sleep outside, and he sleeps inside with me. Don't move the chips. The casino is a deadly place. Don't forget why we're here."
Chen Zhu looked at Zhou Fumin, who seemed to have never seen the world and was looking around everywhere, and just gave him a few warnings with a stern face.
There are more luxurious places in Beijing than this one. Hotels run by foreigners are like this, but Zhou Fumin had almost never stayed in one before. Moreover, the fragrance in the air was indeed magical.
"I understand. What should we do next?" Zhou Fumin did not refute, but just asked about the future plan.
It is not easy to get in touch with the businessmen in Hong Kong. What's more, Chen Zhuyi has offended Mr. Mo Sanye. From the man's tone, you can tell that he is not an ordinary person.
"Take a look first. There is a cocktail party below. These people will be your future partners. You can go and contact them yourself." Chen Zhuyi had no confidence in business matters, so he could only advise Zhou Fumin not to make a big mistake.
However, she didn't expect trouble to come so soon.
