Chapter 11 [Matchmaking]

Saturday, May 9

The Qiao Jiao Niang clothing store opened in Tsim Sha Tsui. On that day, a red carpet was rolled out in front of the store and a catwalk show was held. Fresh and tender middle school students served as models. Their pure temperament attracted a lot of onlookers, most of whom were men.

Zhang Yan looked at the flow of people in front of him with a smile on his face. Half of them came into the store to buy something, which was enough. Today's turnover would reach at least tens of thousands. He was going to make a fortune.

Li Wendi was not very optimistic. He knew that most people were there to watch the fun and had no intention of entering the store. Moreover, those who entered the store might not necessarily buy anything.

Suddenly he saw a few young men who were cracking melon seeds with smirks on their faces. They turned around and whispered something in Zhang Yan's ear.

Although Li Wendi had reported to the person in charge of Liansheng in Tsim Sha Tsui before opening the store, it was inevitable that some gangsters would pretend to be stupid and try to take advantage of the situation. Li Wendi would not back down, but he would not show up in person either. It was more appropriate to let Zhang Yan go.

Zhang Yan hugged those gangsters, talked with a bright smile, and glanced at Li Wendi from time to time, obviously trying to show off his power.

Li Wendi's reputation as a 'fierce general' was well known in He Liansheng, and these gangsters must have heard of it.

When Zhang Yan returned to Li Wendi, those gangsters also disappeared in the crowd.

"It's done. Your name is still useful." Zhang Yan said jokingly.

Li Wendi smiled slightly, the original owner had a great reputation. If he were to go and chop someone down now, he really couldn't do it. He would be chopped down by others in minutes, so he had to "get rich" quickly and break away from He Liansheng.

More than an hour later, the show ended and the crowd began to disperse. Only about 10% of the audience stayed and went into the store to look at the clothes.

However, only 10% to 40% of people actually buy clothes.

At this time, Li Wendi couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, he didn't insist on inviting a model, otherwise he would have suffered a huge loss.

"Brother Wendi, Xiaonan told me that you are the leader of Heliansheng. You should take good care of me in the future."

The little girl with dark skin and shoulder-length hair spoke in a coquettish tone, behaving like a little gangster.

Li Wendi was thinking, Li Xiaonan has good grades, how could he know such a little gangster girl? Did Li Xiaonan learn bad things?

"Are you familiar with Xiaonan?" Li Wendi asked with a smile.

"Yeah, we are very familiar with each other. We often go shopping with Xiaonan." The little girl took the opportunity to hug Li Wendi's arm and said in a flattering manner without showing any flaws.

"Does Xiaonan have a boyfriend at school? Or is she close to some male classmates?" Li Wendi continued to ask.

Just as the little girl was about to answer, Li Xiaonan ran over and said to Li Wendi, "Brother, didn't you say you would treat us to dinner?"

Li Wendi didn't care about the little girl, and smiled at Li Xiaonan, "Of course please, there is a restaurant nearby that has good dishes, I'll take you there to taste it."

The little gangster girl was a very smart person. Seeing this, she quickly agreed, wanting to please Li Xiaonan and also to make Li Wendi remember her.

So, the group came to the restaurant.

Li Wendi was not stingy and directly ordered more expensive dishes, such as lobster scrambled eggs and stir-fried sea cucumber with green onions.

During the meal, I unexpectedly met Wei Renwei and his gang of brothers.

Li Wendi suspected that Wei Renwei came here specifically for the "chance encounter" and must have something to ask her.

"You are inviting so many beauties to dinner today, Wendi, are you going to have a banquet?" Wei Renwei smiled meaningfully, and his eyes could not help but look around, finally landing on Li Wendi. "What a coincidence, Wei Ge!" Li Wendi glanced at the younger brother who followed Wei Renwei and said, "Why did you come so far to Tsim Sha Tsui to eat?"

"Just eat wherever you go. Why do I have to stay somewhere else?" Wei Renwei said with a laugh.

The conversation seemed a bit tense, and everyone present, except Li Wendi and Zhang Yan, was nervous.

"I'm just afraid that Wei Ge will come to urge me to pay back the money." said Li Wendi.

"We are all brothers, why would I urge you to pay me back?" Wei Renwei responded, "Do you have time to chat after dinner?"

"Okay, since Wei Ge has invited me, I must be free." Li Wendi agreed immediately.

He knew that Wei Renwei had no good things to offer and only troublesome matters to discuss. However, Li Wendi was very interested in the financial company controlled by Wei Renwei. After all, doing business requires borrowing money.

In the restaurant box

Wei Renwei and Li Wendi sat on the sofa. Zhang Yan was not there at the moment because he wanted to send those middle school students home.

"Brother Wei, just tell me what's on your mind. I still have a lot of things to do in my store." Li Wendi said bluntly. Wei Renwei is a very patient and scheming person. Basically, only interests can move him, and friendship is not a big deal.

Wei Renwei was not surprised. Li Wendi was always like this, so he smiled and said, "I heard that Uncle Deng wanted to replace the person in charge of Tsim Sha Tsui. Did he contact you?"

Li Wendi did not hide it and nodded, "I did, but I didn't agree. You know, I don't have many people under me, and it will be very difficult to control the territory of Tsim Sha Tsui. In this case, it is better to give it to other brothers."

Wei Renwei didn't believe this statement. With Li Wendi's reputation, it would only take a few days to win over dozens of subordinates. As for why he didn't want to be the leader, Wei Renwei didn't care.

"For you, Li Wendi, winning over some lackeys is just a piece of cake." Wei Renwei smiled mysteriously and said, "What do you think of me?"

Ever since Wei Renwei mentioned the issue of being the boss of Tsim Sha Tsui, Li Wendi guessed that Wei Renwei wanted to take this position. In Li Wendi's opinion, the position of boss of a financial company is much more important than that of boss of Tsim Sha Tsui, but Wei Renwei does not think so.

"What? Wei Ge wants to be the boss in Tsim Sha Tsui?" Li Wendi said with a smile.

Wei Renwei hesitated and said, "Uncle Zhang has agreed to recommend me, but the decision is still in Uncle Deng's hands."

Uncle Zhang, whose real name is Zhang Tanjie, is one of the founders of Heliansheng. He has some say in Heliansheng, but his say is much weaker than that of Deng Songlian.

"Wei Ge, do you want me to talk to Uncle Deng?" Li Wendi smiled faintly.

"Everyone in He Liansheng knows that you, Li Wendi, are the nephew of Uncle Deng. As long as I take this position, you will definitely benefit from it." Wei Renwei stopped pretending and said frankly.

"You know Uncle Deng's working style, Viagra, but I need 30 yuan in funds recently. If the financial company is willing to lend it to me without interest and allow me to pay it back in two years, then I can give it a try." Li Wendi took a sip of tea.

"As long as you are willing to help, 30 is just a small amount. You don't have to pay it back." Wei Renwei said generously.

"In fact, I went to Uncle Deng's villa a few days ago. I didn't expect that his son who was studying abroad came back and seemed to want to develop properties in Tsim Sha Tsui. He should want to make a fortune. If you start from this aspect, you may be able to be better than others." Li Wendi continued, "I can take you to meet Uncle Deng, but Uncle Deng doesn't like traitors, hahahaha!!"

"I understand this. Thank you, Wendy. Please come to the financial company tomorrow and collect the 30 yuan." Wei Renwei said excitedly.

Li Wendi smiled and said, "It's so refreshing to cooperate with you, Wei Ge. Come, I'll toast you with tea instead of wine."
