PDLP Chapter 18 Polite Refusal
Chapter 18 Polite Refusal
Chan Yiu-hing, the "Tiger of Wan Chai," is very famous in Wan Chai; you can easily find him by asking around.
Although Chen Yaoqing has now made a name for himself, he still "works" in the parking lot where he started his business.
Wu Tianyao parked his car outside and was led inside to the office by Ah Xing, whom he had met before.
The office was nicely decorated, just like the living room at home. There was a large tea table next to it, with a stove and a charcoal fire burning brightly.
"Even a parking brake is made to look so impressive." Fatty looked around with envy.
"What's the use of envying others? We can do it too." Wu Tianyao took a drag on his cigarette, took some tea leaves from the tea canister, and threw them into the teapot.
Just then, Chen Yaoqing, wearing a white vest, walked in from outside.
He sat down opposite him and tossed him a cigarette: "Yao-zai, the car was washed really well, even cleaner than those professional car washes."
"What kind of parking attendant can't even get their car clean?" Wu Tianyao picked up the herbal tea at his feet and poured a bowl out. "Thanks for helping me out last time, Brother Qing. I don't have much to give you, but have a bowl of herbal tea, it's really good."
"pick."
Chen Yaoqing grinned, finding it all quite amusing.
Many people give him gifts, but this is the first time he has accepted inexpensive herbal tea.
He took a sip of the herbal tea, his face contorting in bitterness: "Damn, it's this bitter?"
"To express my gratitude, I specially had twenty-four kinds of herbal concoction brewed. It's potent!" Wu Tianyao lit a cigarette and took a puff. "Most effective against staying up late and excessive smoking and drinking!"
"Then another bowl, please." Chen Yaoqing pushed the empty bowl in front of Wu Tianyao: "Seriously, are you interested in coming with me?"
"Fellow Daoist, although that bastard Zihua Xin came out to support you on this deal, Limpy Ka definitely won't let it go so easily."
"If a guy doesn't even speak up when his men get hacked, how will he ever make a living in the future? Crippled Guy will definitely not let this go."
"On the surface, Zihuaxin is helping you get rid of the 'Crippled Guy' deal, but it's clearly a ploy to promote you as cannon fodder for the gang. Heyihe is too weak to protect you. If you come with me, the 'Crippled Guy' won't dare utter a sound."
Having been in the triads for so many years, Chen Yaoqing could easily see through this: "I'll let you manage this parking spot. Although you won't have as many opportunities to rise in rank, you'll earn a lot more."
at the moment.
Chen Yaoqing's reputation soared, and he gained the favor of the staff at Xinji, who were keen to further support him.
and so.
Chen Yaoqing also wanted to recruit more eye-catching and handsome young men, and to delegate some of the less important business to capable and handsome young men.
This way, he can free up his resources to continue expanding with his original team and challenge for the top spot among the Five Tigers and Ten Heroes of the New Bureau.
"Brother Qing, I know what you're saying, but isn't the point of being in this business to climb the ladder and get ahead?" Wu Tianyao refused again: "Although Heyihe is a bit run-down, it offers more opportunities."
He was well aware of this; he had someone following him when he went out, and at the same time, Qin Hao was constantly recruiting people.
"Hehe." Upon hearing this, Chen Yaoqing stopped talking, picked up the herbal tea in front of him, and drank it all with a bitter face: "This herbal tea is really good."
As a member of the New Wanchai Tigers, it's already quite respectful of him to have spoken up for Ng Tin-yiu twice; saying more would lower his own status.
After chatting for a few more minutes, Wu Tianyao took Fei Sha away and got into a Mazda to return to Sham Shui Po.
Fei Sha and Qin Hao have different personalities. Qin Hao feels that following Chen Yaoqing is a great opportunity, and having a gold watch and silver coins is not a dream.
Fei Sha, however, thought differently. Instead, he felt that the big boss's refusal was the right thing to do, since large gangs have more space, more money, and more things to do.
Wu Tianyao did indeed think so.
No matter how powerful you are in a gang, or how many brothers you can command with a single shout, and how glamorous you all seem, you're destined to attract attention and things won't end well.
Finding Zhengxing is the best choice, but letting him leave the gang is definitely not an option.
Associations are essentially mutual aid societies formed by the union of social groups, and can serve as a means and source of assistance for the most primitive accumulation of capital.
otherwise.
An ordinary person wants to get ahead?
No way.
Some people are born superior, with better resources and connections, thus achieving the ability to win over upper-level resources.
When they go out to do business, they can easily make money by simply opening up resources and connections with a few words.
And what about ordinary people?
Stop thinking about it. Just keep your head down and work hard. Earning a little money through hard work is already a blessing.
Back at Wang's Herbal Tea Processing Workshop.
Li Rui was busy preparing the ingredients for tomorrow's herbal tea with his four assistants.
Wang Heting and Wang Qing will start filming tomorrow, and their herbal tea will also be on set, so you can prepare in advance.
Wu Tianyao brought over a Toyota Hiace and several large stainless steel insulated containers to store herbal tea.
Everything is done.
Wu Tianyao took them out for a late-night snack, drinking and eating meat: "Fei Sha, tomorrow you'll be working with the four of them under Uncle Li's command. Be careful and don't cause any trouble."
"Also, watch and learn more, and get started as soon as possible. Uncle Li won't have that much time later."
"Don't worry, boss." Fatty Sha and his four underlings nodded in agreement, all of them taking it very seriously.
Wu Tianyao didn't say anything more.
The meal is over.
Wu Tianyao drove Li Rui to the housing estate, and as usual, he arranged for Li Wanhua to come up and change his dressing. The wound was healing quite well.
"Brother Yao." Li Wanhua skillfully tied a bow around the wound with the remaining gauze. "I heard from Dad that the herbal tea processing plant is up and running, ready to supply the docks?"
"Hmm." Wu Tianyao lit a cigarette and looked at Li Wanhua, who was tidying up the table. "What? Isn't it good to have a chance to make money?"
"No, I think it's fine."
Li Wanhua looked up at Wu Tianyao, her big eyes bright and sparkling: "I want to thank Brother Yao. If it weren't for you, the herbal tea shop would still be struggling, and with Mom sick and needing money, the shop's meager profits would be hard to come by."
"Silly girl." Wu Tianyao waved his hand: "There's no need to thank us. Uncle Li has helped a lot too."
He paused for a moment.
He leaned forward, and Li Wanhua held her breath nervously, a hint of tension flashing in her large eyes.
"Do you want to open many, many herbal tea shops in the future? And be your own boss?" Wu Tianyao felt that her eyes were shining.
"Of course I want to!" Li Wanhua replied without hesitation. "But is it even possible? It would require a lot of cost and a huge investment."
"Of course, no problem." Wu Tianyao nodded firmly, then remembered something: "Tomorrow is your birthday, so let's finish work early tonight, invite our people to dinner together, and have a lively birthday celebration for you."
After her birthday, Lai Wan-wah turned eighteen.
"Really?" Li Wanhua's eyes lit up with anticipation, then she shook her head: "Forget it, now is the perfect time to do business and invest, let's save some money."
From what I remember.
Before she turned ten, her birthdays were always quite lively and grand, held in large restaurants, and attended by all sorts of people. But starting at eleven, after she came here with Li Rui, her life gradually became more ordinary.
"Of course, we should be lively when it's time to be lively."
Wu Tianyao nodded affirmatively: "If it weren't for you changing my dressings these past few days, I wouldn't be able to do this so easily. Even a random Filipino maid would cost more than this, not to mention you're so beautiful and skillful."
"whee."
Li Wanhua was in a good mood after being praised, and her eyes crinkled into crescent moons as she carried the plate out, saying, "Wait for me a moment."
Not long after.
She walked in mysteriously, her hands hidden behind her back.
