Chapter 525 Secret Talk in the Car
"My husband told me that Cai Zhimin is called a 'golden touch' because Zhu Minghua is supporting her behind the scenes!"
Looking at Zhu Minghua, who was being welcomed in by the three men and was the center of attention, Wen Haichao's eyes were full of envy.
"Brother Zu is really well-informed!" Fatty Lin teased.
"Brother Zai, my husband has been in the financial industry for decades. There's nothing in Hong Kong's financial circles that can be hidden from him!" Wen Haichao said.
"Brother Zai, I'll tell you everything about the financial world if you want to know anything in the future. And if you need to ask around, I can help you find out!"
Wen Haichao added another sentence.
"So sensible?" Fatty Lin teased.
"Brother Zai!"
Wen Haichao's drawn-out, coquettish tone made me feel a little nauseous, and I got goosebumps on my arms.
"After the banquet, I'll see how I deal with you!" Fatty Lin chuckled and snorted.
I'm a bit exasperated; these two are never going to stop.
Just then, I noticed that something was off; everyone's eyes were on us.
When I looked up, I realized that Zhu Minghua was walking towards the three of us.
Before I could react, Zhu Minghua was already in front of me and said, "Thirteen, Xiaolin, Nier, I didn't expect you to come too!"
She seemed unusually familiar with the three of us, but the problem was, we had only met once.
"Sister Hua!"
Fatty Lin was the first to react and greeted him affectionately.
"Sister Hua!"
Seeing this, Long Nier and I greeted Fatty Lin.
Zhu Minghua was pleased with how we addressed him, nodding with a smile. He then said to the three people beside him, "Come on, Haitao, Menghui, and Zhimin, let me introduce you. These three are Boss Lü's personal feng shui masters. Ah Ling told me that Boss Lü's current good condition is all thanks to these three!"
The three people, who had been tense, immediately stepped forward and exchanged pleasantries with us.
What's interesting is that Cai Zhimin clearly knows us, but she pretends not to, especially when she's with Fatty Lin. She doesn't smile and is afraid that people will notice that Fatty Lin has treated her body.
After we finished introducing ourselves, Zhu Minghua said, "Haitao, Menghui, you'll be asking for a lot of help from Thirteen, Xiaolin, and Nier in Hong Kong. Make sure you get to know each other better and exchange contact information; we're all family!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Haitao and Luo Menghui immediately took out their phones and exchanged contact information with us.
This immediately made the three of us the center of attention.
I am very uncomfortable with this.
"Thirteen, Xiaolin, Nier, in your line of work, connections are the most important thing. Come on, I'll show you around and introduce you to some people!"
I thought exchanging contact information would be enough, but I didn't expect Zhu Minghua to not let us off the hook.
While it's true that the more connections you have in our line of work, the better, the main focus today isn't the three of us. We were just invited to show our support. I feel like Zhu Minghua is putting us in a very difficult position by doing this.
Whether Lin the Fatty didn't notice or was pretending not to, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Sister Hua, that's wonderful!"
So, over the next hour, Zhu Minghua introduced us to a whole host of people, including bank executives, scions of wealthy families, and various figures from the entertainment industry.
I have more than a dozen phone numbers saved, and I've collected quite a few business cards as well.
After the banquet, Zhu Minghua offered to personally drive us back to the shop.
"Sister Hua, let's drive off!"
I said tactfully.
"Get in my car, and your car. I'll have the driver take it back!" Zhu Minghua said.
"Hai Chao, you go back first today, I'll come find you tomorrow!" Fatty Lin patted Wen Hai Chao on the shoulder when he saw this.
"Um!"
Wen Haichao obediently nodded and said, "See you tomorrow, Brother Zai!"
After Wen Haichao left, the three of us got into Zhu Minghua's car.
"Xiaolin, Shisan, Nier, how was your harvest today?"
After getting on the bus, Zhu Minghua asked with a smile.
"Sister Hua, it's not just good, it's amazing!" Fatty Lin said in a slightly exaggerated manner.
"I'm already very satisfied that you don't blame me for putting you on the hot seat!" Zhu Minghua leaned back and took out a bottle of red wine and a wine glass from the car refrigerator, pouring some for us one by one.
"Sister Hua, what are you saying? In just one night, we received three acupuncture appointments, and several more have expressed interest. We could earn at least several hundred thousand yuan. If this is going to be a hot potato, give me more opportunities to be on the hot potato!"
"That's what Fatty Lin said quickly."
It has to be said, Fatty Lin really knows how to talk.
If it were me, the conversation might have fallen apart.
"You, you, no wonder Ah Ling said you're the best talker!" Zhu Minghua pointed at Fatty Lin, picked up his wine glass, clinked glasses with us, and took a sip.
We also took a sip of our drink. After we finished, Fatty Lin asked, "Sister Hua, is there something you want to tell us?"
"That's right!"
Zhu Minghua nodded and said, "Ah Ling said that the three of you have a very clear understanding of things. Since I've run into you all this time, there are some things I need to tell you!"
"Sister Hua, what do you want to say?" Fatty Lin nodded.
"Do you know what the purpose of this banquet is?" Zhu Minghua asked.
"I know a little. The Wei family wants to use Hong Kong Island as a treasure trove to launder their illicit activities in Shan State!" Fatty Lin said.
"That's right!"
Zhu Minghua smiled and said, "The Wei family is just the first to arrive; the other three families will follow."
"The fact that you received the invitation and attended the banquet means you've come to the attention of some people. I don't know if this was intentional or unintentional. What I want to say is that if the Wei family or the other three families ask you for help in the future, no matter how much money they offer, you must be clear-headed and not be blinded by money. Be cautious about their affairs!"
Zhu Minghua said with a serious expression.
This was somewhat unexpected. We had thought she wanted us to cooperate with the Wei family, since she had taken the initiative to introduce us to Wei Haitao and his wife at the banquet.
"Isn't that surprising?"
Because we weren't very good at managing our expressions, Zhu Minghua immediately noticed our surprise.
"yes!"
Fatty Lin readily admitted it.
Long Nier and I nodded in agreement.
Zhu Minghua smiled, took another sip of red wine, and said, "My cooperation with the Wei family is a business deal. They need me to help them launder the dirty money they get from casinos and mines, and I want to earn a commission!"
"Aside from that, we have no connection whatsoever; we're just business partners!"
"Sister Hua, what do you mean?" I didn't quite understand.
"What I mean is, if the Wei family, or the other three families in Shan State, approach you and ask you to do something similar like a ritual for the deceased, don't accept it!" Zhu Minghua said.
"Why?" Fatty Lin asked, feigning ignorance.
We know very well why: anyone who gets involved with Wei Haitao's bloodthirsty aura will be doomed!
