NCCnovel Chapter 234 Hong Xin
Chapter 234 Hong Xin
There are nearly 800 underground casinos of all sizes in Hong Kong, and there are countless other even smaller casinos.
Among the 800 casinos, half of them are in the Walled City.
After Li Shaoan launched a gambling crackdown, the Walled City immediately closed all casinos except for the Kowloon Walled City.
Under the glares of other big guys, he acted as a guide and named those famous casinos one by one.
But this is the Walled City, and it is also a cleanup of the gambling world initiated by the evil god. Those big guys dare not speak out and just think they are unlucky.
It only took three days.
Handsome An's list of achievements has been further expanded, and he has also received strong praise from all walks of life.
In particular, the Jockey Club and the Mark Six Lottery Company led by the Hong Kong government were eager to give him a medal.
The Macao government was also grinning from ear to ear.
They expressed strong support and welcome for Li Shaoan's investment in the Portuguese group.
Shui Ling also took this opportunity to demonstrate her abilities. She asked the Haojing government to sell eight out of the eighteen points of shares it held.
The Haojiang government knows who is behind Shui Ling.
They knew that without Li Shaoan's support, their mainstay gambling industry would not be able to develop.
So after careful consideration, they still did not dare to refuse Shui Ling's request, and successfully increased the shares of Liangzai An to thirty-four, which gave them a veto power.
Facing such a powerful King of Hong Kong.
Although He Xin was worried, he was more happy.
Because Shui Ling supported him on the board of directors and did not oppose him.
As for what will happen in the future, let's talk about it later. He is powerless to resist, right?
In Hong Kong today, except for the large casinos in Kowloon Walled City, all casinos have basically been wiped out.
certainly...
There are so many micro gambling dens that move from one place to another after each gambling. They are so hidden.
Li Shaoan didn't have the intention to eliminate them all because it was difficult to do so.
After all, Hong Kong people are too fond of gambling.
Six out of ten citizens gamble, and four want to gamble.
Although he made such great contributions and received strong praise from all walks of life, he was still unable to go further.
Li Shaoan's progress is no longer a matter of merit, it is a matter of politics.
The previous suppression of British capital and the children of large British families did not pass so quickly, so if you want to get promoted, you will have to wait for a few more years.
Handsome An just wants to play now, and doesn’t want to engage in a head-on confrontation.
Moreover, the real power of the police force lies in his hands, so it doesn’t matter if he can’t be promoted for the time being.
At this moment, he put his legs on the table in his old posture, smoking a cigarette leisurely, thinking that after settling down in the next two days, he would fly directly to the Bay Island to visit Miss Deng.
Just then the phone on the table rang. He picked up the phone and said lazily:
"I'm Li Shaoan."
"Hello, Mr. Li, I'm Hong Xin."
Hearing that it was this woman, Handsome An lost his lazy look. It was six days before she called him, and he thought there would be no follow-up.
"Miss Hong, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Hong Xin was in a complicated mood at this time. She thought a lot after she went back. She felt that Li Shaoan must have deliberately allowed the evil ghost to harm people.
But she didn't know why. Was it because Jiaxiong and the others spoke rudely?
At the same time, another answer came to her mind, an answer that made her unbelievable.
Is it because of myself?
With such speculation, Hong Xin was filled with fear of him. She didn't know what Li Shaoan's purpose was.
But handsome An is so handsome, he should not be that kind of person.
Appearance can change a woman's mind, so Hong Xin finally called him.
"Is Mr. Li free now?
I'd like to invite you out for a cup of coffee."
"No problem, Miss Hong can arrange the time and place."
Hong Xin looked at the time and thought about it, but she didn't dare to book it too late:
“It’s two o’clock in the afternoon.
Let’s meet at Blue Bird Cafe in Central at 3:30.”
"OK, no problem at all."
After chatting for a few more words, Li Shaoan hung up the phone.
He was lost in thought while smoking:
"Why do I feel like Hong Xin seems to be a little afraid of me? Could it be that she has guessed something?"
Thinking of this, Handsome An smiled freely.
He just thought of it, and he had no shortage of women. He was just having a bad conscience at that time.
The Hong Kong people have been drinking coffee for a long time.
It originated in the early days of the Opium War, when the British came to Hong Kong and brought coffee with them.
And later.
More and more foreigners come to Hong Kong to work, do business and live, and gradually have the need for socializing outside the office and home.
Therefore, these foreigners working and living in Hong Kong, as well as the increasing number of people who identify with the coffee culture, have driven up the demand for coffee consumption.
Coffee shops thus came into being.
In the 30s, many new coffee shops began to appear near the China Bank in Central, Hong Kong.
The Blue Bird Cafe was opened at that time, and now in the 1970s it has a history of 40 years.
Today, it has become a popular gathering place for wealthy young people in Hong Kong.
Half past three in the afternoon.
Li Shaoan came to this place which was a famous gathering place for bad mouths in Hong Kong during World War II.
As soon as he stepped into the door, he saw Hong Xin.
At this moment, she was sitting quietly by the window of the cafe, her face slightly tilted, her eyes looking at the scenery outside the window.
The warm winter sunshine shone through the window onto her face, reflecting her beautiful features.
Hong Xin did not tie her hair up today. Her long hair fell on her back like a waterfall, swaying gently with her breathing.
She was wearing a white dress, the hem of which swayed gently without wind, as if rising and falling with her mood.
Seeing this scene, his extinguished soul of Cao Ze suddenly burned again.
Come to her table.
The sound of handsome An moving the chair suddenly woke up Hong Xin who was lost in thought.
"Mr. Li, you're here?"
Li Shaoan sat down, looked at her with a smile and said:
"Ms. Hong, what are you thinking about so intently?"
He was more or less aware of what Hong Xin was thinking and already had a plan in mind.
Hong Xin felt a little embarrassed when being stared at by the handsome guy. The thought of questioning him that she had imagined would fade away immediately after he arrived.
Super Honorable Sheng Rong An sensed her change and laughed in his heart:
"A superficial woman who covets his beauty."
"Nothing, Mr. Li wants to drink something."
"Just watch it, I don't care."
After hearing what he said, Hong Xin ordered a latte for him.
The coffee was quickly brewed. After Li Shaoan took a sip, he looked at Hong Xin who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and said calmly:
"Miss Hong, is there something you want me to talk to today?
If you have something to say, just speak up."
Hong Xin gritted her teeth and spoke out the question in her mind:
"Mr. Li.
Could you have killed that evil ghost early that day?"
