Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 751 People’s hearts are complicated
The meal lasted until nearly 10 o'clock in the evening. Eight out of ten masters and apprentices at more than a dozen tables were drunk, and some even fell down.

As for the disciples of these martial arts masters, even more of them were drunk.

Asking them to send their master home is a joke.

Chu Xiangqian had to tell Linda to call the uniformed soldiers and patrol team on night shift in Yau Ma Tei to come and send the people off.

After hearing this, Fei Bo immediately patted his chest and said, "Mr. Chu, this is just a small matter, why does the Fourth Madam need to worry about it? I will call someone and get a taxi right away.

Keep the masters here safe and send them home."

The masters who were not drunk couldn't help laughing when they heard Fei Bo calling Linda "Fourth Madam".

In this era, it is considered very normal for people in Hong Kong to have women outside.

Chu Xiangqian is not only rich and handsome, but also has top-notch kung fu skills. While he is attracting girls, he must also have strong sexual needs.

Linda didn't have the humble ideas of the Chinese. She took advantage of being drunk and hugged Chu Xiangqian's arm and shook it a few times. Her intention was to make Chu Xiangqian recognize her as the fourth wife in front of everyone.

Chu Xiangqian had already taken Gangsheng and Feifei as concubines last year, and had obtained legally binding documents from the two of them.

Over the past year, he naturally thought about marrying Linda and Eliza as concubines.

However, Chu Xiangqian was concerned about the sisters' Indian identities and worried that they would be instigated by the Ying people, so he decided to marry them both.

And this nominal fourth wife is better for Chu Xiangqian than taking a concubine directly.

The outside world and people who knew him basically knew that he had two Indian mistresses.

One of them has even become a uniformed police officer at Yau Ma Tei Police Station and the commander of the mobile unit, with the rank of senior inspector.

This is unique in the Hong Kong police force.

In this situation, for Chu Xiangqian, admitting Linda's identity was basically no different from before.

Although the British people like to use Ah San, they are still very wary of him.

But Linda is different. With Chu Xiangqian as her backer, Ge Bai would always say a few more friendly words to her when he meets her.

Charles, the Commissioner of Yau Ma Tei Police Station, is not only Linda's old boss, but also the person who brought her away from Tianzhu.

As for their previous relationship, Chu Xiangqian already knew about it when he met Linda.

Before, Linda just wanted to introduce her sister Elisa to the rich man Chu Xiangqian and make some money for herself.

But later Chu Xiangqian couldn't help it and acted like the sisters were playing cards together.

Now that he knew about Linda's past, Chu Xiangqian naturally wouldn't bring up the past now, and there was no need to do so.

After all, he was attracted by Linda's management ability, while Elisa was responsible for winning Chu Xiangqian's heart with her beauty.

Now that the two sisters play cards with him, Chu Xiangqian feels more at ease, as the two sisters now have a backer and an ATM.

However, after being with Chu Xiangqian for a long time, the dividends from the import and export company alone would be enough for the two sisters to become rich.

Naturally, he followed Chu Xiangqian more wholeheartedly.

On the contrary, Chu Xiangqian was too suspicious and always doubted Linda in his heart.

On the contrary, Alyssa, who basically does nothing but practice yoga, do beauty treatments, and learn to cook to please Chu Xiangqian, is the one who makes people feel at ease.

However, after spending more time together, Chu Xiangqian could also tell whether the two sisters were sincere or not.

Chu Xiangqian smiled and patted Linda's hand, then cursed Fei Bo with a smile. When Fatty Liu saw Chu Xiangqian nod, he hurried to make the phone call himself.

The Yau Ma Tei Police Station is actually very close to having backbone, even though he went to the New Territories to serve as the Chief Chinese Detective.

But before he took office, he asked his people to continue to control the Yau Ma Tei Police Station in front of Chu Xiangqian and Lan Gang.

Chu Xiangqian naturally had no objection. Fei Bo was a very smooth man and was willing to be his younger brother, so compared to Lan Gang taking charge of the Yau Ma Tei Police Station, Chu Xiangqian actually preferred Fei Bo to continue to be in charge of this place.

At the same time, this was also a reward for Fei Bo's initiative to go to the New Territories. Chu Xiangqian didn't know what Lan Gang thought, but he agreed very readily at the time.

After all, Kowloon has much more money to make than the New Territories, which are no different from the countryside these days.

Within ten minutes, four five-door police Land Rovers and several private cars owned by Fei Bo's plainclothes men stopped at the door of Youguqi.

Chu Xiangqian personally sent all the masters to the car. As for the disciples from each martial arts school, he gave each family 100 yuan and asked those who were not drunk to call a rickshaw to take the drunk brothers home.

At that time, rickshaws cost only a few cents for nearby places and one or two yuan for far places.

Even if there are more than a dozen brothers to be delivered to each martial arts school, at least half of them will end up in the hands of the disciples who are not drunk.

As a result, the disciples of various martial arts schools became extremely enthusiastic.

At the same time, he supports Chu Xiangqian, the president of the association, from the bottom of his heart.

Not to mention, many people have already gone to Diamond Hill Studios to work as martial artists, which means they are already making a living from Chu Xiangqian.

Since you are the boss and you can get benefits, only a fool would not be more proactive.

Chu Xiangqian finally personally helped the 7% drunk Hong Zhennan into his own Rolls-Royce, and asked Aji to accompany him.

Then he told Zhang Tianzhi and Zhou Billy that he had something to say to Fei Bo, and that they would come back after sending Hong Zhennan away.

After driving, Hong Zhennan looked at the night view outside the car window with a smile on his face. He was secretly proud of himself for taking the initiative to make friends early on, and even gave his lifelong reputation to Chu Xiangqian, pushing him to the position of president of the Wushu Association.

Otherwise, if I were to go into the ring and be defeated by Tornado, my future life would not be as comfortable as it is now.

His status in Hong Kong’s martial arts community will certainly plummet.

Who knows, someone might even take advantage of your misfortune.

But now, he never stops drinking tiger bone wine every year, and relies on this wine to slowly heal his old injuries.

Although old injuries still flare up and cause headaches occasionally, it is much better than it was two or three years ago.

My nephew Sammo Hung is now considered a famous martial arts star in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. Every year, the gifts he receives during festivals and holidays alone amount to several thousand yuan.

He also took Aki and other brothers to make a living on the film set. Some of them have now become famous supporting actors.

These people were naturally enthusiastic and respectful towards him as their master.

The most important thing is, because Chu Xiangqian is the senior master of Hung Gar Martial Arts School, even if he only visits two or three times a year, it is enough to make young people who want to learn martial arts in the Yau Ma Tei area choose Hung Gar Martial Arts School as their first choice.

Hong Zhennan now has to select people to accept as disciples, otherwise the martial arts school will not be able to accommodate so many young people who want to become his disciples.

With Aji and Sanbao around, there is no need for Hong Zhennan to show up in person to teach his disciples.

If someone comes to challenge him, Sanbao’s skills are no worse than when he was young.

If Sanbao loses, then Chu Xiangqian will still be the winner.

Looking at the skills he showed in the ring today, let alone himself, even a few years ago, when he and the other three recognized Kung Fu masters in Hong Kong were together, they might not be Chu Xiangqian's opponents.

In this case, Hong Zhennan was not worried at all that anyone would dare to challenge him.

Of course, Chu Xiangqian was so polite to Hong Zhennan because of the benefits Hong Zhennan had given him. Not only did he use the reputation he had built up in Hong Kong Island over half his life to support himself, he also taught him the Hong Quan martial arts without reservation.

Even the stick techniques, sword techniques, and iron wire fist that Hong Zhennan did not know, or was not very proficient in, were taught to him by people who had requested boxing manuals, sword techniques, and the essentials of stick techniques from his hometown in the mainland.

It can be said that he passed on all the Hung Gar tradition of his lineage to Chu Xiangqian.

Even the Tiger-Crane Double Form, which Chu Xiangqian was best at, was taught by Hong Zhennan himself.

However, Chu Xiangqian has already surpassed Hong Zhennan.

Therefore, Chu Xiangqian's courtesy and care towards Hong Zhennan were what Hong Zhennan deserved.

After Chu Xiangqian watched his Rolls-Royce drive away, he took Linda's hand and asked, "Are you not drunk?"

Linda smiled and shook her head, but she leaned in Chu Xiangqian's arms, not caring at all that Fei Bo and the principled boss Duan Hongchun were standing beside her.

Fei Bo and Duan Hongchun were both envious and impressed that Chu Xiangqian was able to subdue Linda.

In front of Chu Xiangqian, Linda is as obedient as a kitten, but in the eyes of outsiders, Linda is not so easy to talk to.

Fei Bo's confidant, after becoming the Inspector of Yau Ma Tei, he suffered a lot from Linda.

The mobile force now consists of the uniformed group and Gurkha mercenaries, and they don't care about the plainclothes group at all. Just collecting their own fees makes the uniformed group much more arrogant than before.

Chu Xiangqian certainly wouldn't pay attention to these small problems, and he had actually long seen that Linda had great ambitions.

But not only did he not care about Linda's desire to climb the police force, he even hoped that she could go further.

Moreover, Chu Xiangqian knew very well in his heart that even Sanjiangshui, Feibo and Langang might become alienated from him in the future.

As a human being, no one wants to be someone else's younger brother forever.

On the contrary, because Linda is a woman and wants to go into politics, she needs to rely more on men.

As long as Linda doesn't go too far, Chu Xiangqian never cares about her affairs in the police force.

Chu Xiangqian first said to Duan Hongchun, "In a few days, 180 sika deer and about ten tigers will be delivered. I will let Brother Zhi inform you.

As for the restaurant's profits during this period and the money from the purchase of tigers and sika deer, you can deposit them directly into Standard Chartered's account.

When Lanlan returns to Hong Kong Island, she will settle with you."

Only then did Duan Hongchun feel relieved.

Chu Xiangqian returned to the capital and stayed there for more than two months, and he also stayed in Tianzhu for more than a month.

If I hadn't returned to Hong Kong Island before going to India and left behind three months' supply of wild deer and tigers, I would have been short of more than just half a month's supply.

What made Duan Hongchun feel regretful was that at least 40 tables of deer banquets could have been booked during the Chinese New Year, but because there were not enough sika deer, only 15 tables were prepared for the New Year’s Eve dinner and the first few days of the first lunar month.

In addition, due to the presence of a big client, the three tables of tiger banquet that they wanted to book could not be booked, and they lost at least nearly 400,000 yuan in profit all of a sudden.

As a result, Duan Hongchun couldn't eat or sleep well for half a month after the New Year.

However, Chu Xiangqian only promised to provide the restaurant with 60 sika deer and 3 tigers every month.

Otherwise, if the supply is released for a long time, no one will eat it.

The shortage of goods during the Chinese New Year is not entirely a bad thing.

Many new and old customers who failed to book a table during the New Year holidays actually wanted to have another meal.

Chu Xiangqian can take away around 51 yuan every month just from the old and reputable stores.

If you add the 30 bottles of tiger bone wine provided to the courageous people every month, it would be another 6.

And for Chu Xiangqian, this money is pure profit.

After all, he sold sika deer, tigers and tiger bone wine to people with backbone, but that was a business with no capital.

He owns half of Chu Xiangqian's shares and can also get half of the hotel's profits. It can be said that Duan Hongchun only earns one-third of Chu Xiangqian's every month.

But with hundreds of thousands of yuan every month and more than one million yuan every year, the annual profit for the Duan family is more than what they earned in the past three or four years.

Anyone who doesn’t hold on to Chu Xiangqian’s thigh is a fool.

Chu Xiangqian can earn about 700 million Hong Kong dollars from the old store every year, so Duan Hongchun is also a partner he needs to maintain well.

Of course, Chu Xiangqian only needs to maintain the most basic courtesy towards Duan Hongchun.

Be polite every time you meet them and you will easily gain the gratitude of the Duan family.

After dealing with Duan Hongchun and the hotel’s food issues, Chu Xiangqian took Fei Bo into the small private room on the second floor.

Linda originally wanted to avoid suspicion, but Chu Xiangqian directly took her hand and sat down to make tea together.

After drinking a few cups of tea, Fei Bo seemed much more sober.

Chu Xiangqian then put down his teacup and said with a smile, "What has Brother Gang been doing recently? It's so lively today, why didn't he come over to have a drink?"

Fei Bo scratched his head and heard a hint of complaint in Chu Xiangqian's words.

Speaking of which, Chu Xiangqian did have reason to be angry. Fei Bo went to the New Territories to serve as the Chief Chinese Inspector, although the new inspector in Yau Ma Tei was still his man.

But he usually works in the New Territories.

In this situation, Fei Bo could come over to drink, so it makes no sense that no one would notify Lan Gang, the Chief Chinese Detective of Kowloon.

Fei Bo glanced at Linda who was making tea again and saw that she was unmoved after hearing Chu Xiangqian's words.

I can only sigh in my heart.

My relationship with Linda is pretty good, but for some reason, Linda's attitude towards Lan Gang has always been bad.

Fei Bo cursed in his heart, "Women are trouble", and then cursed Lan Gang as well, but he had to excuse and explain for him.

After all, if he and Lan Gang want to secure their positions as Chief Chinese Detective of Kowloon and the New Territories, they still have to rely on Chu Xiangqian.

The outside world has always believed that Chu Xiangqian is their backer, otherwise, let alone the establishment of two new Chief Chinese Detectives.

Even if it is established, it is impossible for two people to take the position at the same time.

There are detectives in the police force who earn more than Lan Gang, have more experience, and have made greater contributions.

On the contrary, he has an uncle who used to be the Chief Chinese Detective, so his chances of getting promoted are greater than Lan Gang's.

Of course, this is what Fei Bo himself thinks.

It has been more than ten years since his uncle Liu Fu retired, and the favor between them has long faded.

But Lan Gang is only in his thirties, and he only became the Inspector General in 58. If he wants to take the position of Chief Chinese Inspector of Kowloon, it would be extremely difficult if he relies solely on himself and the Chinese superintendents who support him.

Of course, in the real world, Lan Gang did become the Chief Chinese Inspector, but that was a few years later.

At that time, Lan Gang had been the inspector for seven or eight years and had plenty of connections and experience.

Fei Bo hurriedly explained to Lan Gang, "Fortunately, I went to the New Territories, otherwise I would have been like that headless guy, and was overwhelmed by the four robberies that happened recently."

After saying that, he secretly glanced at Linda, and seeing that she was still smiling, he couldn't help but curse inwardly.
