Chapter 160 Fatty Lin's Trip to the Mountain City
Unlike other things, sending Li Li to school required informing Third Master.
The main problem is that this can't be kept secret.
"Xiao Li has always treated you like a brother, it's great that you can send her to school!"
After informing Third Master by phone, Third Master said the following.
This sounds reasonable, but something still feels off to me.
On the day of registration, we met up with Li Li early in the morning.
After picking up Li Li, Li Li chattered excitedly.
Besides us, there were two other people accompanying Li Li: one was her assistant, in her twenties, and the other was in his forties, named Lu Fang, whom Li Li called Uncle Lu.
Lu Fang is the CEO of the company that Li Li signed with.
Lu Fang was quite polite to the three of us.
I know a little about this person, but not much.
Public information shows that Lu Fang is a shareholder of Danone Real Estate.
Danone Real Estate is now one of the top real estate companies in China, and I met their CEO, Mr. Xu, once.
Just like how he met Boss Shui, his meeting with Boss Xu also took place at Third Master's club.
I have a deep impression of Boss Xu, not because of anything else, but because of a sentence from Third Master. Third Master said that Boss Xu offended the boss behind Ma Shuai.
I'm truly impressed that someone could offend that person and still get away with it, even expanding their business further.
Seeing through my thoughts, Third Master quoted something from Journey to the West and said something.
He said that the monsters with powerful backers had all been taken away by their masters.
All the monsters without powerful backers were killed by Sun Wukong.
The reason why Mr. Xu was able to land safely despite offending Mr. Ma's boss was not because of his own abilities, but because of his in-laws.
To put it bluntly, we're all in the same circle; we should show respect to each other even if we don't respect the monk.
Boss Xu and Third Master have a semi-cooperative relationship, which is different from Boss Shui's.
Of course, Shui Zong's wings haven't hardened yet. Whether he will end up like Wang Guang, the former richest man, is anyone's guess.
Wang Guang is having a tough time these days. Because he refuses to back down and keeps clashing with Third Master, he has been under investigation since last year.
It started with a tax issue, which was a minor warning. After the investigation was over, Third Master extended an olive branch and even took me to see a doctor for him.
Just like the first time, Wang Guang still couldn't give a definite answer.
Third Master didn't say a harsh word, and led me away with a smile.
Starting this year, Third Master gave Wang Guang another chance.
This is the third time.
There's a saying: "Once or twice is possible, but never a third or fourth time."
After waiting for half a year, seeing that Wang Guang still hadn't made a move, Third Master got angry.
A few days ago, regulatory authorities intervened and investigated the stock trading activities of the company to which Wang Guang belongs.
This time, Wang Guang is most likely in grave danger.
These days, most people who make it onto the rich list can't withstand scrutiny; who hasn't had a few violations?
Whether or not to investigate depends solely on whether the higher-ups want to.
If the higher-ups want to investigate, they'll all end up in jail.
This is one of the reasons why the rich list is called the "slaughter list".
Actually, I don't quite understand why Wang Guang is determined to go toe-to-toe with Third Master, or rather, the Hua family.
He certainly has the ability to build the company to its current size, but without the Hua family's protection and support, he would have been completely taken advantage of long ago.
This time, it wasn't just Third Master who was working on him; the entire Hua family was involved.
If we don't get this traitor in jail, what if others follow suit?
Just then, we arrived at the film academy.
After getting off the bus, Fatty Lin regretted not having a pair of eyes, while I dared not look around and focused on helping Li Li with the paperwork.
I was busy all morning, completing the formalities and tidying up my dorm room.
After settling Li Li in and having a meal with her, the three of us left.
Li Li didn't mind. They were both in the capital, and there would be plenty of time to meet later.
After this incident, Third Master still didn't say anything, nor did he mention that we should go to Hong Kong Island.
I think I might be overthinking it.
Time flies, and it's already the end of October. That morning, I had just finished acupuncture with an old man when Fatty Lin received a phone call and hurriedly went out.
I didn't pay any attention. This guy is doing really well in the entertainment industry now, who knows where he's off having fun again.
As a result, this trip lasted for two days.
Two days later, in the afternoon, Fatty Lin, with red eyes, took Yang Xiaoxiao back to the clinic.
Yang Xiaoxiao was not in good condition and looked haggard.
"You madman, take Xiaoxiao's pulse, prescribe a medicine, and help her recover!"
After returning, Fatty Lin threw down this sentence and sat down to the side with a cold face.
I was going to say something to him, but seeing him like this, I didn't say anything. I took Yang Xiaoxiao's hand and took her pulse.
Yang Xiaoxiao's health is not seriously affected, she is just a little weak and has been overworked.
I gave him two acupuncture needles and prescribed some medicine.
After taking care of the situation, Fatty Lin personally took the medicine and escorted Yang Xiaoxiao home.
"What happened?"
After the two left, Long Nier was a little confused.
"have no idea!"
I shook my head.
This time, Fatty Lin was gone for two days. I didn't think much of it on the first day, but he still hadn't come back on the second day. I called him, and he said he was dealing with something.
When he returned, he brought Yang Xiaoxiao with him.
Judging from their expressions, something must have happened.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Fatty Lin returned.
"Fatty, what have you been up to these past two days?" I asked.
Long Nier also looked puzzled.
"Don't even mention it!"
Fatty Lin gulped down a large mouthful of water and said, "I'm going to Shancheng!"
"Where to?" I thought I misheard.
"We've gone to the mountain city!" said Fatty Lin.
"What did you do there?" I asked.
"Save Sister Xiaoxiao!" Fatty Lin said.
"Save her? What happened to her?" I asked.
"If it weren't for me, she might have just given up!" Fatty Lin said.
"No, explain yourself clearly, what exactly happened!" I said.
"It's very simple!"
Fatty Lin took another big gulp of water and said, "Sister Xiaoxiao was targeted by a boss in Shancheng and imprisoned. I went and rescued her!"
"Boss? Which boss?" I asked.
"Follow Qiangwen!" said Fatty Lin.
"Never heard of it!" I muttered.
"Sui Qiangwen has connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles in Shancheng. If I hadn't used some underhanded tactics, he might have been finished too!" Fatty Lin said, panting heavily.
"You fucking bastard!"
Upon hearing this, I punched his arm.
"Damn, be gentle!"
Fatty Lin rubbed his arm and said.
"Go easy?" I punched him again with a thud.
"Grass!"
Fatty Lin groaned in pain and said, "I'll call you next time this happens, okay?"
"Call me next time. What are you thinking about this time?" I pressed.
Fatty Lin fell silent.
"If this happens again, we're no longer brothers!" I warned.
"Okay, okay, okay!" Fatty Lin nodded perfunctorily.
"Fine, you son of a bitch!" I punched him again.
"Brother, Fatty is doing this for our own good, please stop hitting him!" Long Nier tugged at me.
"Look how sensible Ni'er is!"
With others chiming in, Fatty Lin suddenly became trembling.
"Get lost, just tell me what happened!" I cursed.
