Chapter 399 Thunder Monkey
Hearing this, the younger brother smiled shyly, scratched his head, and said, "Isn't this all thanks to Brother Hao? Following a big boss like him is really a blessing that I have cultivated for eight lifetimes. It's impossible for me to be useless..."
Just as Feiji was about to continue teasing, the co-pilot's younger brother quickly said, "Brother Feiji, they've gone in, so there must be some changes."
I saw that the two clearly divided groups of people who were originally standing at the door immediately rushed into the club.
Feiji put away his smile and stopped laughing. Instead, he stared at everything in front of him with a focused expression.
This time, he was sent by Brother Hao to keep a close eye on Hou Liqun 24 hours a day, so he naturally had to seize the opportunity and achieve some results.
Otherwise, if Lin Huaile, who was keeping an eye on Shanyuan Villa, made achievements first, he would be suppressed by him again.
Competition has always existed in Hutchison, but it was controlled within a reasonable range by Lin Zehao using superb means.
Inside the huge reception room of the club, there were only three people.
Looking through the floor-to-ceiling windows in front of you, the scenery is picturesque, lush and green, which is refreshing.
Hou Liqun was wearing sunglasses, lying on a Klein blue sofa, covered with a yellow high-end handmade blanket, and wearing a black and gold bathrobe. He was playing with a string of red sandalwood bracelets in his hands. He looked very comfortable, not formal at all, and not nervous at all.
Ding Zongshu and Zhou Chaoxian sat on the sofa not far away opposite. The former was wearing a red suit and looked very likable.
As for the latter, he was wearing a gray suit, with his legs crossed, holding a magazine in his hand and flipping through it. He had a calm expression and seemed confident.
By chance, a title caught his attention.
[The identity of the fierce dragon crossing the river remains a mystery, the Sanguang Justice Group has become a rat crossing the street, and Hsinchu has changed its flag. Who is the mastermind behind this? ]
As always, the exaggerated title instantly caught Zhou Chaoxian's attention.
As an insider, he certainly knew the inside story of this matter. I think these gossip newspapers should be able to figure it out. After all, the influence of this matter is so great that it is being widely spread in the underworld.
The reason why they dare not say it openly is probably because they are concerned about Lin Zehao's power.
Thinking of this, Zhou Chaoxian couldn't help but feel a little envious. Lin Zehao, a foreigner, was able to get a seat in the Legislative Yuan as soon as he arrived. No one knew how he got there.
Look at him again. Although he is a local and is doing well, he has no choice but to endure Hou Liqun's bad temper.
At this time, Hou Liqun, who had been pretending to close his eyes and rest, stopped observing the two people, stood up, and said, "Zong Shu, tell me why the higher-ups nominated you this time?"
Ding Zongshu quickly put on a smile and said in a very corny way: "Because I love Taiwan, I am loyal to the organization, I love the organization, I am loyal to the boss, loyal to you, I love you!"
Although this flattery was really not very technical, it still made Hou Liqun smile. He smiled for a long time before stopping and cursing, "You are such a jerk, you are so slick and embarrassing for us."
As he spoke, Hou Liqun put down the red sandalwood bracelet in his hand, took off the sunglasses on his nose, picked up the white towel beside him, wiped his face, and his expression was no longer friendly as before. Instead, he said in a very serious manner: "Chaoxian, then tell me why the higher-ups nominated you this time?"
Zhou Chaoxian put down the magazine in his hand and said with great confidence: "Because if you nominate me, I will win, and if you nominate him, he will lose."
“As a result, the East District legislator’s seat was taken away by someone else.”
Upon hearing this, Ding Zongshu snorted coldly, his eyes full of disdain.
Hou Liqun nodded and agreed, "Yes, you are right. Your opinion is consistent with the boss. In fact, we all tend to nominate you."
After a pause, he raised his head, looked at Ding Zongshu, and said, "Zongshu, how much did you spend this time?"
Even though Ding Zongshu was unwilling, he still said, "About 13 million."
Hou Liqun said, "Then how about this, Chao first gets 20 million from you to send to Zong Shu, and it will be done within three days, and then get another sum of money to send to the higher-ups, I'll let you know the specific figure in a few days."
"That's all for today, let's all go back."
Zhou Chaoxian took out the sunglasses hanging on his suit pocket and put them on his face. At the same time, he stood up and said, "Thank you for the promotion, Minister."
Hou Liqun looked at Ding Zongshu, who looked constipated, and said, "Zongshu, that's it. We'll talk about it next time. Don't be unconvinced."
Even though Ding Zongshu was unwilling in every way, he had no choice but to accept it.
He stood up and stormed out of the room, slamming both doors.
Zhou Chaoxian walked out of the room with an attitude of a winner, holding his head high and closing the door.
"Zhou Chaoxian, I'm telling you, don't get complacent too soon. It's still uncertain who will win or lose in the end!"
As soon as he went out, Ding Zongshu started to make harsh remarks.
Why do these bosses spend so much money, even pretending to be grandsons, and fighting desperately to get the seats of legislators? Because the Taiwan government has clearly stated that as long as you become a legislator, you will be protected by the government.
Secondly, no matter what you have done before or what mistakes you have made, the government will turn a blind eye and let bygones be bygones.
Simply put, let the past be the past, and I promise not to bring up your past.
Isn't this position tailor-made for people like them?
How could any boss with a bit of ambition and ability not be tempted!
"Ding Zongshu, how dare you speak so arrogantly?"
"You heard what the minister said just now. You should put away those useless thoughts."
"Besides, it's not that I look down on you, whether it's money or people, which one can you compare to me?"
After Zhou Chao scolded him for a while, he prepared to leave.
Just at this time, the younger brothers of both sides also rushed over. Ding Zongshu's younger brothers blocked the corridor and the situation immediately became tense.
Seeing this, Zhou Chaoxian asked, "Why, are you planning to do it here?"
Ding Zongshu's expression changed several times, and finally he signaled his men to move aside.
Zhou Chaoxian glanced at him with disdain, adjusted his suit, and then walked out slowly.
After we got out of the gate and into the car, the younger brother next to us slowly said, "Brother, I just received news that the majority of the bid for the Binhai Highway was won by a company called Hutchison Construction. We only got some soup and water, which is not enough to eat."
Hearing the name Hutchison Construction, Zhou Chaoxian subconsciously straightened up and asked quickly: "Hutchison Construction, is it a company from Hong Kong Island?"
The younger brother nodded and said, "Yes, it is that Hutchison. I have asked the brothers in Hong Kong to check it out. It is Lin Zehao's company."
Hearing this, Zhou Chaoxian's face immediately became extremely gloomy. He thought that he and Lin Zehao would no longer have any intersection, but he did not expect that the other party would quietly snatch away the project that he had long regarded as the fat meat in the bowl.
The sudden bad news caught him off guard.
Zhou Chaoxian's face was extremely gloomy. He was silent for a while before he took out a black and white business card from his pocket. It felt a bit metallic in his hand, but the actual material did not look like metal. He didn't know the details, but he just felt it was very comfortable in his hand and looked very classy.
As for the design of the business card, it was also very simple, without so many fancy titles, only three handwritten characters, Lin Zehao, which looked very impressive, and a string of very easy-to-remember numbers, eight eights.
Zhou Chaoxian picked up his elder brother's phone and dialed the number.
After a few rings, the phone was connected and a somewhat unfamiliar voice sounded.
"Thunder Monkey, who are you looking for?"
It was standard Cantonese, and there was no self-introduction segment, it was concise and clear.
Fortunately, Zhou Chaoxian also knew a little Cantonese, so at least he could understand basic greetings like this.
"Lei Hou, I'm Zhou Chaoxian, I have something urgent I want to discuss with Brother Hao."
Even though he was just speaking through the receiver, Zhou Chaoxian was extremely humble, not at all as arrogant and domineering as before.
This made the younger brothers, who were usually familiar with their boss, open their eyes so wide that they looked like they were about to fall to the ground.
They didn't expect that their boss, who was used to being domineering, would have such a humble side.
Could it be that the names of Shenghe Weilong actually carry such heavy weight?
Are you already intimidated by his reputation before you even meet him?
"Hold on."
After the other party said this, the atmosphere fell into silence.
The world seemed to have stopped turning, there was no concept of time at all, and it became chaos.
Zhou Chaoxian swore that he had never experienced such a tormenting moment in his life, never!
However, now he is the fish and Lin Zehao is the knife. He has no capital to turn the tables. If he is asked to go east, he dare not go west at all!
However, Zhou Chaoxian still didn’t understand how Lin Zehao had managed to get the coastal highway project without making any noise?
Logically speaking, he shouldn't be completely unaware of the situation.
Unless Lin Zehao's network of contacts is much higher than his level, things would not have turned out like this.
Just when Zhou Chaoxian couldn't help but have wild thoughts, a voice finally came from the receiver.
"Brother Hao agrees to meet you. See you in half an hour at Cuihu Villa in Xinyi District."
After that, the phone was hung up.
Zhou Chaoxian breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly, "Go to Cuihu Villa, hurry up."
Since Lin Zehao decided to meet him, it means that there is still hope for this matter.
The driver naturally saw his boss's anxiety and did not dare to delay at all. He stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, the engine made a low roar, and the car rushed out directly.
Cuihu Villa is very famous in Xinyi District. It is a high-end villa newly built in recent years. I heard that the cheapest one starts at 30 to 50 million.
After the driver's operation, it only took twenty minutes to reach the destination, a detached villa.
Although it is surrounded by high-voltage iron fences on all sides, one can still vaguely see the majestic scene inside. It is estimated that the area should be more than 3,000 square meters, and it is the top villa in Cuihu Villa.
Zhou Chao got out of the car first and was about to go in with his brothers, but was stopped by the security personnel at the door.
"Sorry, routine inspection."
Zhou Chaoxian also understood the rules and did not say much. He just signaled his younger brothers to cooperate with the work and not to act rashly.
Although I was unhappy, I could only raise my arms and cooperate with the people from Hutchison Whampoa for the inspection.
Two Hutchison employees came forward, one of them was holding a monitoring device, and the other was responsible for the body search, which was done extremely carefully and seriously.
After a while, all the knives and pistols on the brothers were searched out and placed in a plastic basket.
Seeing this, Zhou Chaoxian was about to go in, but was stopped again by the people from Hutchison.
"Sorry, you have to search too."
This made Zhou Chaoxian look unhappy. He said, "That's not necessary. Even if I'm not very smart, I wouldn't attack Brother Hao in this situation, right?"
"Besides, I have always admired Brother Hao and have no such thoughts at all."
The younger brother of Hutchison shook his head and said, "Excuse me, we have to search everyone. This is the rule. Please don't make it difficult for us."
Seeing their boss being humiliated, the younger brother of the Songshan Gang immediately stepped forward and said, "Do you know that we..."
As soon as he said one sentence, Zhou Chaoxian raised his hand to interrupt him, "You have no right to speak here, shut up!"
"The guest should follow the host's wishes. Since it is a rule, we must abide by it."
As he spoke, Zhou Chaoxian opened his arms and signaled Hutchison's brothers to search as much as they wanted.
Ten minutes later, Zhou Chaoxian, led by two Hutchison employees, entered the living room of the villa and saw Lin Zehao in casual clothes.
I saw that he was holding a book called "The First Half of My Life" in his hand and reading it with great interest.
Seeing Zhou Chao approaching first, Lin Zehao put down the book in his hand and spoke first: "Sit down, what would you like to drink?"
Zhou Chaoxian didn't dare to be arrogant. He called Lin Zehao "Brother Hao" and greeted him before sitting down. When he saw a cup of tea next to Lin Zehao, he asked A Mai next to him for a cup of tea.
After a while, Ama brought up a cup of authentic Dongting Lake Biluochun tea, with a unique fragrance that could be smelled from a long distance away.
"Just by the aroma, I know it must be authentic Biluochun."
"At the moment, it seems that Brother Hao is the only one who can satisfy our appetite."
Biluochun has a long history, dating back to the Jin Dynasty. It has been a royal tribute tea since the Qing Dynasty, and its price has been rising in recent years.
Moreover, there are only so many tea trees that can truly be called Biluochun, and ordinary people cannot buy the genuine product even if they have money.
Zhou Chaoxian was also a connoisseur of goods, so he could naturally tell the authenticity.
His business has been quite successful in recent years, but he still cannot buy real Biluochun tea.
Judging from this move alone, Lin Zehao is countless levels higher than him.
"It's just tea leaves. No matter how good the tea is, it is meant to be drunk by people. Otherwise, the meaning of the thing itself is lost."
"Just like people, if they can't find their own position, they will soon be in great trouble."
