Lin Mai then called Chen Feng and asked him bluntly if something had happened in Hong Kong.
There is indeed something going on in Hong Kong.
But the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and Chen Feng doesn't want Lin Mai to have a bad time during the Chinese New Year, so he doesn't want to tell her the truth.
He laughed a few times, pretending to be hearty: "Whatever happens in Hong Kong doesn't matter who will guard Hong Kong for you!"
"Don't try to lie to me. I just called you at your home in Hong Kong. I heard a few words, otherwise I wouldn't have called you specifically to ask you."
Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, Chen Feng hesitated for a moment and then wrote as lightly as possible: "It's not a big deal, it's just two gangsters from a small society who came to our two properties to cause trouble."
He said with a fierce look in his eyes: "I see these gangsters haven't been beaten down yet, yet they still dare to come and cause trouble.
When I return to Hong Kong, I will blow their heads off and see if they dare to cause trouble again!"
Lin Mai couldn't help frowning after hearing this: "Those gangsters have come here to cause trouble before?
You said before that the matter was resolved, so you went back to the mainland to celebrate the New Year, did you mean to teach those little gangsters a lesson?"
Only then did Chen Feng realize that he had spilled the beans, and he had no choice but to admit it.
Lin Mai also understood that Zhao Liang told her that there was something going on over there in Hong Kong. Chen Feng got stuck and couldn't come back for a while. It was probably because of these gangsters.
She asked: "Why did those little gangsters make trouble? How long did they last?"
Chen Feng was silent for a moment, and finally chose to tell the truth: "It's been a while, but as long as I'm here, they haven't caused us any losses."
He said disdainfully: "Those little gangsters come here to cause trouble, not just for money, why else."
In this era, Hong Kong's associations are actually the civilized term for underworld.
Because the Sino-British Joint Declaration had been signed at this time, the empire was unwilling to return Hong Kong to China until the sun set.
But you have to pay it back even if you are not willing to do so.
They have bad intentions and deliberately fail to manage Hong Kong properly.
Let him be as chaotic as possible, and prepare to return China to a mess, so that Hong Kong will have various associations running rampant.
Lin Mai was a little upset when he saw that two of his properties were being targeted by associations.
Those clubs are not easy to spend time with.
She asked Chen Feng: "How did you deal with those two small societies in the past? How did you fight and kill them?"
"What else?"
Lin Mai said: "Since those two small societies are just asking for money, just take the money and send them away.
Don't risk your own life and that of your brothers. I hope you are all well."
Chen Fengdao: "Do you know how much they want? The lion asked for half a million!
Our two real estate projects in Hong Kong haven’t even paid back, so how can we get the money to give them?”
Lin Mai said: "You can ask me to allocate money to you from the head office."
"Take money from the head office to send me those gangsters? There will be a first time and a second time. Sooner or later, the family will be emptied.
I am determined not to use the head office's money to send those gangsters away.
Besides, if those gangsters get a taste of the benefits, they will come to blackmail you, and then it will be endless."
Lin Mai asked: "Then what are you going to do?"
"I plan to send Ziqing to her parents tomorrow and let her parents take care of her.
I flew back to Hong Kong that day and asked a prestigious gang boss to persuade the two society bosses to quit.
I would rather spend money on hiring people than give a penny to those two troublemaking societies!"
Lin Mai nodded: "Sure, don't be reluctant to give up money."
She thought for a while and then said: "Don't send Ziqing to your father-in-law and mother-in-law alone. Her brother and sister-in-law live with her parents, and Ziqing has a bad relationship with her sister-in-law.
What if the two sisters fight during the Chinese New Year? You'd better send her here and I'll take care of her for a few days.
After you resolve the matter, you can take Ziqing to your father-in-law and mother-in-law's place.
As long as you are here, even if the two sisters fight, you can still break up the fight.
Otherwise, with Ziqing's skills, she will definitely beat her sister-in-law until she can't get out of bed during the Chinese New Year."
Chen Feng thought for a while and said: "For those who are celebrating the New Year, you are older and younger, so it will not be easy for you.
I won't send Ziqing to your care. I'll send her to her parents instead.
I gave my sister-in-law Ziqing 50,000 yuan so that she could buy a house and move out there years ago. If my sister-in-law and sister-in-law are not under the same roof, they can't fight."
Lin Mai said: "There are only a few days until the Chinese New Year. If you ask Sister Ziqing to buy a house and move out, she won't have time."
"But she will at least let me be my wife for the sake of the fifty thousand yuan."
Lin Mai smiled and said: "That's right, Sister Ziqing is really pitiful during the Spring Festival this year. She must be bullied to death by Ziqing."
Chen Fengman said unreasonably: "I don't care about that, I just want my wife not to be angry."
Early the next morning, Lin Mai went to the head office for a meeting.
Mainly, I summarized the work of this year, and then asked about the work arrangements during the Spring Festival.
The last step was to remove Gao Yuanzhong from the position of general manager of the Jiangcheng branch of Wantong Real Estate and replace it with deputy manager Mo Jian'an.
During the past few days in Jiangcheng, Lin Mai had been observing several senior executives of Wantong Real Estate's Jiangcheng branch, and Mo Jian'an was the most outstanding one.
However, it was difficult to identify a person within a few days, so Lin Mai only asked him to replace him temporarily.
If Mo Jian'an continues to be so good, he will be made a regular employee in three months.
If you made a mistake, then choose something more suitable.
He was dismissed from his post in public on the plateau. He was so ashamed that he wished he could find a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
When Lin Mai saw him, he still encouraged him, telling him to learn from the mistakes and gain wisdom, work hard and get up wherever he fell, and he would still be promoted to a more important position in the future.
Gao Yuanzhong's head was almost buried in his crotch, and he hummed softly.
Lin Mai asked him if the elderly people who had been sent to Factory Manager Hu's house had been brought back.
Gao Yuanzhong nodded: "We took them all back, and each of them was given a hard-earned fee of 100 yuan."
Lin Mai was relieved.
What she didn't know was that yesterday evening, when Gao Yuanzhong took people to Factory Director Hu's house to pick up the elderly people to take them home, Director Hu's wife and children were so excited that they almost cried.
Because those elderly people are older and do not sleep much, and they deliberately sleep during the day, they become more energetic at night.
She was chattering loudly every night, making her mother and son unable to sleep for several nights.
Now that the people were finally picked up, they were finally able to have a good sleep.
After the meeting, Lin Mai wanted to leave.
She also wanted to go to the market to buy a few kilograms of strawberries, and let Grandpa Fang, Grandma Fang and Doudou take them with them before flying back to the capital so that Fang Zhuoran could eat fresh strawberries.
He was the only one in the whole family who didn't eat any strawberries.
As soon as she walked out of the conference room, Shen Xiaoping came up to her and said that a reporter wanted to interview her.
Lin Mai asked as he walked: "Why do reporters want to interview me?"
Shen Xiaoping said: "Because of our Wantong Company's charity activities at the end of the year."
Lin Maidao: "In the future, this kind of interviews will be handled by the Propaganda Department. All you need to do is report to me."
She is always as low-key as possible.
Shen Xiaoping responded and turned around to find Director Sun Yunhong of the Propaganda Department.
Lin Mai came to his family's Fuduoduo market.
A small cadre had already picked out five kilograms of the biggest and best strawberries she wanted, put them in a delicate little bamboo basket and handed them to her.
Lin Mai took the strawberry and wanted to leave. The cadre handed her a bag of braised vegetables and asked her to take it with her on the way.
Lin Mai returned to the villa with strawberries and braised vegetables. Grandma Fang and the others had packed their things and were ready to go.
Lin Mai bought a train ticket for ten o'clock in the morning, and it was about to arrive at that time, so she could not send Grandpa Fang, his wife, and Doudou to take a flight. This glorious task was handed over to Fang Zhuoyue.
She took a small amount of luggage, carried stewed vegetables, hired two poles, carried various agricultural products sent by the folks in Simei Town, and went to catch the train.
It’s hard to buy train tickets during the Spring Festival. Even if someone from Linmaito opened the back door, they could only buy a soft-seat ticket.
But this is quite good. Many people can't even buy standing tickets, let alone soft-seat tickets.
After all, it was during the Spring Festival travel period, and even though Hankou Station was the starting station, the carriages were already overcrowded.
Lin Mai and the two poles she hired tried their best to get on the train.
The two carrying poles were so anxious that they were sweating profusely, fearing that they would not be able to get Lin Mai to the car and would not get their wages.
Lin Mai gave them ten yuan each and asked them to put their things down while she found a way to get on the train.
Two men with poles in their forties were so moved that they insisted on giving back five yuan to Linmai.
Because it was agreed before that the wages for delivering this goods would be five yuan per person.
Even the salary of five yuan is very high.
At such a short distance, a load of goods usually costs only three yuan.
Lin Mai asked the two uncles not to give up, as the Chinese New Year was coming soon, and asked them to use the extra five yuan to buy a few kilograms of snacks to take back to the elderly and children.
The two uncles then took the money and left with great gratitude.
Lin Mai saw several young male flight attendants nearby with nothing to do and gathered together to chat.
She walked over and asked them to help carry the things into the car.
Of course, their help was not free of charge. Each of them was given a dollar as a benefit fee.
This is the least amount of benefits Lin Mai has ever given.
She really couldn't stand the fact that these male flight attendants were young and only received wages but did not work.
There are so many old people and children in need of help, they seem to be blind and cannot see any of them.
Every car door was blocked so tightly that people behind could not get in, and they didn't ask for help.
Giving them a dollar as a benefit fee makes them cheaper.
But Lin Mai knew that if he didn't even give them a dollar as a favor, he couldn't expect them to help.
When the male flight attendants saw that Lin Mai only offered one yuan as a favor fee, they originally wanted to reject it collectively.
But when I turned around and saw a pretty girl asking for help, my attitude immediately changed.
The beauty is charming with her smile, and she also gets labor fees.
The male flight attendants readily agreed.
Yelling all the way, she helped Lin Mai get her things to her seat.
