Chapter 526 Private Talk in the Car 2
Why?
Zhu Minghua smiled and said, "Your sister Ling and I are best friends who have risked our lives for each other. We share the same fate, and we share the same fate!"
She paused, then said, "Your sister Ling may not have told you about me in detail, so I'll just give a brief overview!"
"Sister Hua, please speak!" Fatty Lin straightened up, as did Long Nier and me.
"It's actually quite simple. The reason why Sister Ling and I are where we are today is all thanks to the boss's help. My father is an old hand who has worked for the boss for decades!" Zhu Minghua said slowly.
After saying that, she said, "Let me test you. Did you notice anything wrong with tonight's banquet?"
"question?"
Fatty Lin muttered to himself, then said, "No socialites?"
"Yes, no socialites!"
After saying that, Fatty Lin became even more certain, "Although there are many people here tonight, they are mostly high-ranking executives from the banking industry or from the entertainment industry. Very few socialites from wealthy families are here, and even those who are here are from smaller wealthy families. There are basically no female relatives from families with assets exceeding 10 billion attending!"
"The biggest star is Cai Zhimin, the daughter of toy tycoon Cai Sheng!" I added.
"That's right, excellent observation skills!"
Zhu Minghua nodded, picked up his wine glass, swirled it, stared at the scarlet liquid inside for a long time, and said, "In Hong Kong, your Sister Ling, the boss, and I have never been accepted by any truly wealthy families!"
"If the boss doesn't have any, then we certainly don't have any either!"
"Those wealthy families look down on their boss because he's in the gambling business, because he comes from a shady background!"
"They look down on Ah Ling because she's a concubine!"
"They looked down on my father for being just a boss's lackey, and even more so for his underworld background!"
"No matter how big or powerful we become, in the eyes of those wealthy families, we're still insignificant!"
As Zhu Minghua spoke, a cold smile crept onto his lips. "This is also why the boss forced our eldest daughter to marry into the Jiang family back then!"
The eldest daughter Zhu Minghua mentioned is Lu Jingqiong, the eldest daughter of the second wife.
Her marriage to the shipping magnate Jiang family was a political alliance.
There are many shipping magnates in Hong Kong, but among them, the Jiang family is relatively weak due to internal strife.
That's why they arranged a marriage with Lui, the gambling king, since he was truly wealthy.
Previously, Wen Haichao hadn't explained Zhu Minghua's background clearly. What I didn't expect was that she was also one of Gambling King Lu's people.
"Those wealthy families really don't take us seriously!" Fatty Lin nodded.
"Xiaolin, Ah Ling told me about your situation. You seem to have been accepted recently, but you both know the truth in your hearts!"
"Especially the Xuanmen Association. They say on the surface that they won't interfere with you, but do you think they won't make things difficult for you behind your back?"
"With their power, they have countless ways to harm you!"
"For example, this time, you received an invitation to this banquet. It seems to have nothing to do with those wealthy families or the Xuanmen Association, but in my opinion, it's very likely a trap!"
Zhu Minghua stated this with absolute certainty.
"Sister Hua, do you mean that someone wants to use this banquet to get the Wei family's attention, then ask us to do something, drag us into this mess, and get us involved in the karma, as a form of revenge against us?"
Fatty Lin quickly figured it out.
"That's right!"
Zhu Minghua nodded and said, "The Wei family has too much blood on their hands, too many problems, and is difficult to handle!"
"I'm afraid something will happen to you!"
"Sister Hua, we understand. We will absolutely not let the Wei family do anything!" Fatty Lin said.
"We won't give it to them, but we shouldn't offend them!"
"I introduced you to them so they would know you're on my side, and that would make them think twice before acting!"
Zhu Minghua said.
"In a place like Shan State, warlords run rampant. The Wei family is no pushover for being able to establish themselves there. Even if you refuse, you must be tactful. You need to prevent them from resorting to desperate measures, even if the possibility is small!"
Zhu Minghua was still worried, so he added another instruction.
"Furthermore, the jewelry store the Wei family owns on Hong Kong Island also has significant problems. Many of the pieces inside are defective, having been dug up from the dead or graves!"
After saying that, Zhu Minghua added another sentence.
"Sister Hua, I've got it!" Fatty Lin nodded hurriedly.
"You need to understand that the boss's health is not as good as before. Your most important task is to ensure the boss's safety. As long as the boss is alive, we can eat and eat well. If the boss is gone, some things may not be the same. Therefore, it's best to avoid getting involved in certain karmic consequences. What if it's detrimental to the boss?"
Zhu Minghua, fearing we wouldn't understand, continued.
This statement revealed her true intentions.
I was a little touched just now, thinking that Zhu Minghua was giving us advice because we were also not accepted, and because we were Fourth Sister's people.
Now it seems that's not the case at all; in the end, she was still thinking of herself.
She didn't want us to help the Wei family not because she was afraid we would get involved in karma and be plotted against by the Xuanmen Association, but because she was afraid it would affect Gambling King Lü.
Once we understood this, Long Nier and I changed our expressions, while Fatty Lin, on the other hand, looked completely innocent, as if he hadn't understood anything.
"Thirteen, Ni'er, I know what you're thinking. There's no such thing as love without a reason in this world. The most important thing for people to maintain a close relationship in the long run is to have common interests!"
Zhu Minghua has a sharp eye; he saw through Long Nier and me at a glance and directly exposed our thoughts.
"The reason Ah Ling and I have been able to maintain our friendship for so many years is because we share common interests!"
Zhu Minghua continued.
"Sister Hua, I understand!" I nodded.
Zhu Minghua smiled and said, "Thirteen, the reason you've been able to keep your shop running safely in Hong Kong, maintain your daily customer base, and make those wealthy families wary and hesitant to harm you is not only because of Ni'er's trump card, but also because you are the boss's personal feng shui masters!"
"Those wealthy families know very well that it's your routine healthcare that keeps their bosses healthy. If anything happens to you, they'll think someone wants to kill you so they don't live any longer!"
"For the current boss, his greatest wish is simply to live!"
"Whoever tries to prevent him from living, he won't let them live either!"
"Those wealthy families understand this very well!"
"That's why they don't dare to kill you!"
"Sister Hua, we understand!"
Fatty Lin chimed in, "Sister Ling, boss, and you, we're now in a community of shared interests!"
"We guarantee the boss's health, and the boss guarantees your and Sister Ling's power, acting as your backing. In turn, you become our backing, ensuring our safety on Hong Kong Island and reminding us of certain matters, such as the Wei family this time!"
"You're a promising young man!" Zhu Yuehua nodded in satisfaction and said, "I still maintain that the most important thing for people to get along in the long run is to have common interests. We're all in the same boat now!"
