Chapter 179; Sensitive topics
During the whole day, Lin Dong wasted his time on these Hong Kong gangsters. Compared with Taiwan gangsters, the Hong Kong gangsters were really unavailable. When Lin Dong told the plan, the so-called gangsters' eyes were shining with golden light, just like a rustic bully who had never seen money.
'Dalong, Hong Kong's economy is good, why are these people as poor as crazy?' Lin Dong sat in the car and said with a depressed look on his face. The gap between the gangs on both sides of the Taiwan Strait is really big. Look at Yang Sen and Chen Hongsheng, the boss who is the boss who lives in a manor and wears a handmade suit, appears at high-end cocktail parties all year round. This is the best-class. Look at the boss who is the boss in Hong Kong, at most, he is a little rich.
Liu Qinglong explained with a smile, "Ye Ye, Hong Kong's control over gangs is much stricter than that in Taiwan. Hong Kong gangs are now more difficult to get along with than in the mainland. Pornography, gambling, drugs, and the only thing they can rely on now is pornography and gambling. Drug control is too strict and the risks are high. Only those below will take risks."
Although there are only a few gangs in Hong Kong, they actually have many names and very scattered forces. One person controls a piece of land. In fact, there are not many benefits that can be obtained. Although the gambling industry has huge profits, their funds are limited and they have always been small-scale. There are too many underground casinos, so it is impossible to make big money. Those truly rich people will not go out to the casino they run. On the one hand, they are irregular, and on the other hand, they lose their identity. Now there are many large casinos, and Macau is right next to them, so there is no need to go to a small casino.
'Dalong, when the Kong family left Taiwan, they still left a lot of good things. I have already ordered Lao Jia to decorate the cruise ship. It will be almost delivered to you in less than a month. As for what is next, I won't care. It depends on your pull in Hong Kong. Don't lose money for me. I'm very poor now."
Liu Qinglong had already planned it. He couldn't manage it. Could it be that he wouldn't hire a special person? He said with confidence, "Master Dong, don't worry, I won't disappoint you."
Lin Dong nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, just be confident."
As soon as Lin Dong finished speaking, the cell phone in his pocket rang.
Lin Dong took out his cell phone and saw that it was Cai Tao's call, and immediately knew what was going on.
‘Hey, why? It won’t be the banquet so early, right?’
Cai Tao immediately started yelling on the phone, "It's too early? Don't you look at what time, it's getting dark. Boss, you should hurry up. Director Kang has arrived, and I'll wait for you, the master."
‘Okay, OK, you go and deal with it first, I will arrive soon.’ Lin Dong hung up the phone and found that it was almost 6:30, so he hurriedly urged, ‘Dalong, go back to the hotel at a speed, otherwise some people would think that I, Lin Dong, have a plan.”
In the VIP room of Four Seasons Hotel, seven people had already sat down on a large table, four people from China and three people from Hong Kong police. Everyone looked very good at this time.
‘What's going on with Lin Dong? Why haven't you been there yet?’ Zhang Xi looked at his watch and said impatiently.
Lu Ningshuang also frowned slightly. This man knew that the police were coming to hold a banquet tonight, but he was late. I really don’t know if he did it on purpose.
Kang Qiao, the director of the Police Department, didn't care much, and smiled and said, "Young people are busier than us nowadays, haha, Minister Zhang, let's see, we're eating and waiting."
Zhang Xi's attitude towards Lin Dong had changed a little because Lin Dong was rescued indirectly, but now his impression of Lin Dong has changed again. Since he reached the ministerial level, few people have allowed him to wait. Now he feels that Lin Dong is just showing off and really treats himself as a character?
‘Young people nowadays, I don’t know the importance of it. Director Kang, we won’t wait for him. Let’s start the meal.’
Liang Zili, the head of the West Kowloon General Police District who was sitting next to the Director of the Police Department, hurriedly said, "Jiahao, go and ask them to serve the food."
In Liang Zili's opinion, Zhang Xi and Kang Qiao are the protagonists today. Who is the one who is the biggest? The boss said that the person surnamed Lin is still waiting for nothing.
Chen Jiahao, who had been restless, quickly got up and went out. He had no share in such an occasion, so he was satisfied if he could say something to the top player in the Hong Kong police industry. He didn't want to sit together for dinner today. But today he was lucky. Kangqiao wanted to find someone who knew about yesterday's incident to introduce the case to Huaxia. Liang Zili brought him, the leader of the serious crime team.
Within five minutes, all the dishes were on the table. Kangqiao raised his glass first and said to the vengeance. "Minister Zhang, Ms. Lu, I am extremely ashamed of what happened yesterday. I will punish myself for one cup first."
Zhang Xi didn't dare to be too arrogant, so he picked up the wine glass and said with a smile, "Director Kang doesn't have to blame himself. Yesterday was a pure accident. It was just a blame for the criminals being too crazy."
After Kangqiao had a drink, he looked at Chen Jiahao and thought for a while, "Xiao Chen, come and report the situation to the leaders of the central government."
It was a bit inappropriate to talk about these things at the dinner table, but today it is not only Zhang Xi and Lu Ningshuang, but also a middle-aged man with a stern face and a tall figure since he was on the table.
Kangqiao asked Chen Jiahao to report to this man in fact. The man had just flew from the capital to Hong Kong in the afternoon, and his identity was very special. He was the leader of the so-called investigation team sent by the military this time. From getting off the plane, the middle-aged man shook hands with him at the moment, except for the silence that made him feel uncomfortable when he first met. However, he dared not have any objection. The soldier company had the same expression to Zhang Xi, let alone him.
Zhang Jiahao knew that it was his turn to perform, and it was a rare time for the first brother to remember him. He must not waste this opportunity. He adjusted his nervous mood and was about to speak.
‘Ouch! Sorry, sorry, traffic jam on the road, I’m late, I’m really sorry.’
Zhang Jiahao's report was blocked in an instant. He looked at Lin Dong who was pushing the door open with a depressed look on his face, and cursed inwardly, "Can you be late for a while?"
Lin Dong entered the door and saw Chen Jiahao standing there. He thought he was standing up to greet him. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Team Leader Chen is so polite, sit down quickly."
Chen Jiahao looked at his boss depressedly, and it seemed that this report could not be done.
Liang Zili instructed Chen Jiahao to sit down and faced Lin Dongdao; ‘Mr. Lin, please let us wait, you have to punish yourself first.’
As soon as Lin Dong entered the door, everyone focused their eyes on him, but Kangqiao in the field accidentally discovered that as soon as Lin Dong entered the door, the military man's face finally changed a little, and a gleam seemed to flash in his eyes.
‘Haha, Assistant Liang spoke, I will punish myself for a drink.’ After saying that, Lin Dong swept his eyes in the field and found that Lu Ningshuang was still empty, so he walked over naturally.
When Lu Ningshuang saw Lin Dong sitting next to her, a hint of panic flashed in her eyes. She didn't expect that Lin Dong would sit next to her without looking at the occasion at all, which made others think.
Lin Dong didn't have time to care about what Lu Ningshuang was thinking. After pouring a glass of white wine with a red wine glass, he stood up and raised his glass and said, "Dear leaders, I'm late, I'll punish myself for one."
Lin Dong did not hesitate and saw the bottom of it. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and drinking is commonplace. After drinking a cup of four taels of wine, it has little impact on him.
‘Haha, Mr. Lin has a good alcohol tolerance.’
The previous toast of Kangqiao was actually half poured. She didn't expect Lin Dong to pour it all over and fuck it. She couldn't help but worry. After seeing Lin Dong sit down, she couldn't help but whisper, "Are you okay?"
Lin Dong was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Lu Ningshuang's personality would care about him in full view of everyone. Lin Dong slapped Lu Ningshuang's thigh under the table and smiled, "I'm fine."
Lu Ningshuang was startled by Lin Dong's sudden action and almost couldn't help but stand up. Seeing that everyone looked at her, she quickly lowered her head and pretended to drink soup.
Lin Dong shrugged helplessly. He was actually just reassuring the other party, not trying to take advantage of it. He could only hope that this woman would not get me wrong.
Seeing that Lin Dong had arrived, Kangqiao raised his glass and said, "Mr. Lin, I would like to greet you here. Thank you for your righteous actions yesterday, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."
Lin Dong smiled and said, "Haha, Director Kang is kind. As a law-abiding citizen who loves peace and justice, it is our responsibility to fight against terrorists."
Cough cough cough...
Lin Dong said this and the government officials such as Zhang Xi were fine, but the policemen of Kangqiao were a little overwhelmed. They knew what Lin Dong had done and couldn't help but curse them secretly. Gang bosses, arms smugglers, and people like this were embarrassed to say that they were pacifists? All the citizens who were law-abiding have come. You are just a hypocritical destructionist. To put it bluntly, you are even more terrifying than the terrorists yesterday.
The following are just some polite words. The Hong Kong police and Zhang Xi were just talking about local customs and interesting things. They could not talk about too in-depth topics. The main reason is that the gap between the two is too big and there will be no contact in the future.
But Lin Dong is different. He still has something to do to find the top Hong Kong police officer.
‘Kang Chu, although something like that happened yesterday, I feel that I have been to so many places, and the security in Hong Kong is still very reassuring.’ Lin Dong shamelessly flattered.
Although this flattery was a bit weak, Kang Qiao happily took it, "Mr. Lin has won the award, and the Hong Kong police still have many shortcomings."
'There is no award. Looking at the soldiers under Director Kang, you will know that the combat effectiveness of the Hong Kong police is not weak. I admire Team Leader Chen's efficiency. These are all good things that Director Kang leads the troops.'
Chen Jiahao's depressed heart immediately became nervous. This was a sign of Lin Dong's move, but this was too "chiluo" naked.
Kang Qiao was slightly stunned, glanced at Chen Jiahao, and thought to himself, is this little policeman holding Lin Dong's thigh?
As Chen Jiahao's immediate boss, Liang Zili became a little unhappy. He originally admired Chen Jiahao more, and it was not a problem to mention it after waiting for a few years, but it would be fine if you don't hug my thighs, it doesn't matter if you hug others, but you run to hug the thighs of a gangster boss and talk to you in front of the police boss. What is the rhythm? Don't you want to be in the police world anymore?
Chen Jiahao was seen by Liang Zili so much that he even wanted to die. He didn't expect Lin Dong to speak for him like this "chiluo". He had promised to use drugs to promote him, and everything was implemented privately. But how could he know that this gangster boss would be so unauthorized? It was not for him. It was obviously a harm to him. If Kangqiao dared to use him after today, it would be strange.
Lin Dong didn't care what others were thinking now, and said to himself; "Now the central government is advocating youth, Minister Zhang, I'm right, now we are going to promote young people who are motivated and aggressive. I think Chen Jiahao is good, young and motivated, and it is very suitable for promotion."
Zhang Xi almost sprayed out the wine in his mouth. You, SB, do you think you are the Minister of Organization? Can you mention it just by saying a few words? What's more, this is Hong Kong, not the mainland. Hong Kong's senior officials are relatively young, and they are not as serious as the mainland.
Zhang Xi coughed and said slowly, "Mr. Lin, you are an entrepreneur and may not know us very well. As long as you have the ability, you can be promoted in an extraordinary way. In administrative units, you cannot be promoted by yourself."
Lin Dong nodded and said stubbornly, "Oh, so that's it. Can I think this is the ability to do things and the incompetent offices? The stronger the ability, the more things you do, the weaker the ability, the more you eat?"
Puff ~
Hearing this, Liang Zili sprayed out the imported dishes.
Cough cough cough...
Zhang Xi couldn't hear that Lin Dong was sarcasticating him? He threw down his chopsticks and said in a bad mood; "Mr. Lin thinks that I am a corpse and a simple meal."
Lin Dong smiled coldly and said, "Isn't it?"
Bang ~
‘Lin Dong What do you mean?’ Zhang Xi slapped the table and said angrily. He didn’t expect Lin Dong to speak so disrespectfully, and his face turned red with anger.
Lin Dong didn't care at all. In his eyes, a senior Chinese official was nothing. He was not a member of the whole country and had no need to give such people face. "Then I want to ask Minister Zhang what he has done, what great things he has done for so many years, and what practical things he has done for the people?"
'You...' Zhang Xi wanted to refute, but he couldn't think of what he had done at once. 'Hmph, Lin Dong, pay attention to your own words. I don't need to explain to you what I have done.'
Lin Dong smiled and said, "That's right, of course you don't need to explain to me, but you need to explain to the people. Look at the watch you wear, why don't I know that Chinese civil servants can wear millions of watches? Your living standards of Minister Zhang Da are more quality than I am a billionaire."
As soon as Lin Dong said this, everyone couldn't help but look at Zhang Xi's skills. No one on the field was ordinary, let alone, it was a famous watch worth nearly one million.
Zhang Xi was blushed when he was seen, and his hand was quickly placed behind him, trying to cover up his words; "This is not mine, it was given to me."
‘Oh… It turned out to be given.’
Zhang Xi suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing. Although he was a little guilty, he didn't care too much. He was at the ministerial level and a million-dollar watch had little impact on him, but he knew that he would definitely be the one who was unlucky when he was bickering with Lin Dong.
‘Hmph, Lin Dong, I’m too lazy to mess with you.’ After Zhang Xi finished speaking, he apologized to Kangqiao; ‘Director Kang, I feel a little uncomfortable today, so let’s go first.’
Seeing Zhang Xi leaving in a hurry, Kang Qiao didn't care too much, but found it very interesting, especially Lin Dong. He did not think Lin Dong was impulsive or naive, but instead felt that this person was very not simple. As soon as he was on the table, he could see that Zhang Xi and Lin Dong were not dealing with each other. It was normal for them to mock each other, but what surprised him was that Lin Dong actually did not forget to find the other party's flaws when firing, which made him dare not underestimate him. A watch told Zhang Xi to run away. However, Lin Dong noticed this watch. They had never noticed it at all. They were not ordinary people. One million in their eyes didn't count anything, so they wouldn't care about it. But Lin Dong used this to make an article. Can you say that he was careless? In terms of observation, Lin Dong would not be a rough person.
Seeing that it was a little cold, Kangqiao quickly raised his glass and said, "Mr. Zhang is uncomfortable, let's drink it ourselves. Come on, Ms. Lu, I wish you a cup. I wish Ms. Lu a long youth and a step-by-step promotion."
Lu Ningshuang raised her glass and smiled, "Thank you Director Kang, and I wish Director Kang to a higher level."
‘Haha, then I’ll borrow Ms. Lu’s words from you.’
After Zhang Xi left, the table became even more lively.
After drinking and eating, Lin Dong suddenly asked, "I wonder what Director Kang's impression of Taiwan?"
As soon as Lin Dong said this, the table suddenly became quiet. Kang Qiao and Liang Zili were slightly shocked, and their eyes were inadvertently swept towards the middle-aged man who had not spoken.
Lu Ningshuang frowned slightly and said seriously, "Lin Dong, can you eat at the dinner table with peace of mind?"
Everyone here belongs to the Chinese military and political circles. You are so sensitive about mentioning Taiwan. No one can control you in private. But now there is a person sitting next to you who may be a special Chinese organization. If you mention Taiwan, aren’t you afraid of being classified as a Taiwanese spy?
Well··
Seeing that everyone's faces changed, Lin Dong couldn't help but laugh, "What are you nervous? I'm not a "taidu" element. I support Huaxia's revocation of Taiwan. It's better to be the faster the better. Haha, by the way, this soldier, you won't report to the above that I'm a pro-Taiwanese element."
What everyone did not expect was that the man who had been cold-faced suddenly smiled, "Mr. Lin was joking."
This result surprised everyone. Lu Ningshuang thought about Jiang Guangshen's words and thought that Lin Dong might have some connection with the military, so he was not too surprised.
But Kangqiao was quite shocked. The man was cautious when talking to Lin Dong. His polite look was as if he was afraid of offending Lin Dong. This discovery surprised him a lot. Could it be that Lin Dong's identity is not just the boss of the gang? Taiwan? Mainland? Could it be that he was an agent sent by the military?
I have to say that Director Kang is rich in imagination.
After understanding it, Kangqiao didn't care about any sensitive topics anymore and said, "Taiwan is still good, but now Taiwan's political situation is internal and external troubles, and it is not very good."
Lin Dong waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter whether Taiwan is in chaos or not, and we don't care. What I want to ask is, Director Kang, do you Hong Kong police have any plans to communicate with the Taiwan police?"
