Chapter 118: The Young Master of the Ma Family?!
Sorry everyone, there was an issue with the scheduled posting on the author's backend, so this chapter is manually uploaded and slightly delayed.
"Damn it, just mentioning this guy makes me angry!" Qian Hu slammed the beer bottle on the table, his eyes blazing with fury. Luo Lin had made him so angry that he hated him to the core. Not to mention himself, even his own father had been taken advantage of by Luo Lin. Although it was true that Qian Baiwan's whoring and prostitution were exposed because of his own carelessness, the main culprit was clearly Luo Lin.
"I originally said it was just a small-time actor with some fame. But because of this dog's appearance... Ah, damn it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Anyway, this guy is a cunning and deceitful person, I didn't take him seriously before, who would have thought that this Lorrain is actually the only son of the old boss of the Luo Group, a complete hypocrite! ... If I had known his identity earlier and made preparations, he would definitely be the one to fall!"
"Hey, Little Tiger, don't even think about it. The Luo Group has some power, but their headquarters is in Zhenzhou City after all. I'm telling you this as your big brother! If Luo Lin dares to come to Baiyang City and I see him, there are at least ten ways I can make him disappear!" A man with slightly long hair, about 24 or 25 years old, with a slick and oily face, showing off his teeth, speaking in an exaggerated tone, holding a wine bottle in one hand and slapping the table with the other. "Just because of Uncle Qian's friendship with my dad, we're like brothers! From now on, if you have any problems in Baiyang City, just let your big brother know, I'll take care of it with just a word, and it'll be easily settled!"
"Must come! Hua Ge, I respect you, little brother!" With that, Qian Hu went up and clinked glasses with the man.
This guy, dressed in casual attire with a greasy face and slicked-back hair, is called "Hua Ge" (Mandarin for "China Brother"), his full name being Liu Danghua. Geez, this name, when said quickly, can easily lead to misunderstandings. Those who don't know might think it's the name of some Chinese superstar. If fans were to see what Liu Danghua looks like, they'd probably be so angry that they'd spit blood and curse him for having such an unlucky name, insulting their idol.
This Liu Danghua has a somewhat sleazy appearance, and his way of dealing with people is also quite slick. Privately, some people call him Liu the Big Cannon, all over his body two arms three legs, not one place is good for use, only one mouth can spit and talk.
Although his reputation wasn't very good, the friends around him never stopped, and they were all people with relatively strong family backgrounds. Not for anything else, but because his old man was a famous coal tycoon in the entire Jiangnan Province, it can be said that most of the consumable coal in the province's cities came from him. His father's name is Liu Zhuangyang (sweat, this unlucky name), known as "Zhuangyang Ge" in the Jianghu community, a famous coal boss in Baiyang City. He reportedly holds nearly 100 million yuan in assets, of course, most of which are movable properties, reselling coal mines, after all, it's about making a profit from the difference, not a traditional coal tycoon who enters the mine to dig coal. This Liu Zhuangyang had already met Qian Hu's father, Qian Baiwan, when he first started his career. With so many years of friendship, they can be considered pretty good friends, otherwise, he wouldn't have helped him out this time when Qian Baiwan was in trouble.
This time Qian Baiwan was able to get a pardon for medical parole, it was all because he went through the backdoor.
It's said that Qian Baiwan actually rose to fame earlier than Liu Zhuangyang. However, it's now obvious that Liu Zhuangyang is more successful than Qian Baiwan. To be fair, for someone like Qian Baiwan, having friends like Liu Zhuangyang who are willing to help him wholeheartedly is indeed his good fortune. After all these years of struggling, Liu Zhuangyang, who started with a small logistics company, has now become one of the top ten richest men in Jiangnan Province. Unlike Luo Jianrong, the chairman of the Luo Group, he does rough and bold business, and the rustic and uncouth nature of a nouveau riche will never fade away.
It was his son, Liu Danghua, who benefited from his father's good fortune and received a very good education from a young age. He ate well, dressed well, and used the best things. Every now and then, he would go abroad for a trip. He was a typical modern-day second-generation rich kid who knew how to keep up with trends. The friends around him were also mostly from wealthy families, living idle lives as spoiled sons of rich parents, and their standard of living was not low.
Take the current situation as an example. In the middle of the wine table is a genuine American Eagle wine, although it's not a vintage wine, but after all, it's a symbol of taste.
"Hey, I'm telling you, Little Tiger, not only is he your younger brother, but also our good younger brother, right?" A second-generation rich kid, dressed in a human-like dog costume, chuckled and approached, raising his wine glass, winking at Qian Hu. "Little Tiger, I like this younger brother of yours. We've been playing with Dang Hua for quite some time now, we're all close brothers. From now on, let's just consider ourselves as one of our own. I heard you got into some trouble in Zhenzhou City, so why not just stay here and have a good time? In Baiyang City, it's our territory!!"
"I love hearing that!" The several people beside him also raised their wine cups and clinked them together, "Bring one for us too, come on, let's have a drink, brothers."
"Cheers!"
Qian Hu drained his cup in one gulp, to show his respect. As for their behavior of borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, and indirectly drawing closer to Liu Danghua, he didn't feel disgusted, on the contrary, he felt quite pleased.
He's also quite lucky to be noticed by Liu Danghua. These days, he's been following Liu Danghua out to eat, drink and have fun every day. The other party doesn't take advantage of him, just because of the relationship between his father and Qian Baiwan, plus Liu Danghua and Qian Hu are on the same road, very suitable for each other's temperament, so they got together quickly.
However, Liu Danghua's willingness to pay a high price for Qian Baiwan also has other reasons. In the underworld, Qian Baiwan knows many figures, and in Bailiang City, he also has many brothers from the same gang. Although Qian Baiwan's influence is not as great as it used to be, there are still many people who are willing to give him some face. The old friends who mixed with Qian Baiwan in Rongzhou City either got married and had children, retired and did legitimate business, or were still active in the underworld, but had long since moved their base of operations to Bailiang City.
To put it bluntly, this place in Bóyáng City is even more of a mixed bag, but Qian Baiwan was too comfortable with his previous status and enjoyed being the local emperor on his one-third acre of land in the Caesar Palace in Zhēngzhou. Now that he's fallen, he chose to come to Bóyáng City, which is a place where heroes gather, to start anew and make it his second base for an east mountain resurgence, which couldn't be more suitable.
"Hey, Da Hua, what's the plan for tomorrow? If you haven't thought of anything yet, I suggest we take a trip to East Lake. A few of my female classmates from America have arrived in our Baiyang City and want to play there. These girls have been influenced by the American environment for a long time and are quite... spicy! Two of them are blonde foreigners, that kind of... energy, wow! One of the guys, who had drunk too much, suggested, "How about it? Are you interested? We can bring Little Tiger along too!" As soon as he finished speaking, he winked at Liu Da Hua and Qian Hu."
Liu Danghua shook his hand lightly: "No, starting tomorrow, let's just take a break first. Everything is not up to me to arrange."
"What's going on?"
Liu Danghua smiled mysteriously at this time, and his voice became slightly smaller: "The young master of the Ma family in Beijing, Ma Lei, is coming to our city. I'll whisper a word to you, this time he's coming, it's my old man who's responsible for entertaining him, as for what he's doing here... Tsk tsk, this involves business secrets, so I can't tell you for the time being."
It's not that Liu Danghua didn't tell them, it's just that he didn't know what Mare was coming to Boshan City for either. Anyway, his old man had given him orders, and during the time Mare was there, no matter what demands he made, they had to be met as much as possible, and take good care of this big guest! If anything went wrong, Liu Zhuangyang would have to bear the consequences, even if he was very powerful in Boshan City. So Liu Danghua naturally knew that some things were better left unasked, and just did his own job.
But as soon as Liu Danghua said this, everyone present was stunned.
Who!!!!!! —— The young master of the Ma family in Beijing????? Ma Lei??????
Among them, a guy was stunned for half a day and asked hesitantly: "Dang Hua, are you talking about Ma Lei?!!!! - Is that one of the four young masters of the capital, Ma Lei?"
Liu Danghua felt the astonishment and slightly reverent gaze of several friends around him, he also felt that his face had been pasted with a lot of gold powder, and nodded slightly proudly: "Exactly."
"Damn it!! Awesome! Amazing!" One of the guys almost jumped up with excitement, "Liu Danghua, this Ma Lei is one of the Four Young Masters of Beijing! The Four Young Masters of Beijing!!! - Is your family in charge of entertaining him this time he comes to Baiyang City? What's the relationship between the Ma and Liu families? Tell us about it!!" As he spoke, a pair of eyes stared intently at Liu Danghua, almost bulging out.
In this world, every industry has its own top figure in people's minds. Just like basketball players who always have Michael Jordan in their hearts, soccer players who always remember Pele and Maradona, and the entertainment circle who all look up to and worship Michael Jackson for his supreme glory. Asian businesspeople all know **who is honest**.
In the same vein, in the circle of young masters from a wealthy family in Huaxia Country, the Four Young Masters of the Capital are among the top figures. They stand proudly at the top of the pyramid, and this circle doesn't have a name yet, so let's just call it the "Rich Second Generation Circle" for now.
At this time, Liu Danghua slowly sipped a mouthful of wine and smiled mysteriously: "Hehe, it's just a business cooperation relationship."
"Business partnership?!!!"
Everyone was tongue-tied, including Qian Hu. Being able to establish a relationship with the Ma family, one of the four major aristocratic families in Beijing, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem, is considered extremely impressive to them. Not to mention any business cooperation! In fact, the existence of the four major aristocratic families in Beijing is so overbearing that if they want to support a family from another province or city, all they need to do is give it a slight boost, and an unknown family in the local province or city will likely rise rapidly to become a formidable force within just two years!
This is the strength of the four major aristocratic families in Beijing!
…………
After leaving the bar, Qian Hu and Liu Danghua got into their private car, with no one else around. Qian Hu couldn't help but ask: "Brother Hua, after Master Ma arrives, can I follow you to entertain him? At that time, I can also help Brother Hua hold up some miscellaneous scenes."
Qian Hu is a social climber, and if he can establish even the slightest connection with Master Ma's family, it will be a powerful capital to look down on his social circle. It is said that Liu Danghua will entertain Master Ma's family soon, so Qian Hu naturally wants to ask for himself. This kind of good thing, Qian Hu must strive for.
