Chapter 58 058 [Identity Discrimination]

Li Wendi looked around for a long time but still couldn't find a suitable opportunity, so he could only choose a place to sit.

Maybe Li Wendi is not thick-skinned enough, or the socializing at a banquet is not worth it for him to do so.

When the champagne in his hand was almost finished, a young man who was not much different from Li Wendi's age approached with a smile, "Hello, sir! What's your name? I'm Cai Yanjun, the boss of Tianguang Clothing Co., Ltd., and this is my business card."

Looking at the business card handed over, Li Wendi hesitated for a moment, but still took it. He felt that Cai Yanjun in front of him was a newcomer in the textile industry like him, otherwise he would not be so humble in making friends. However, he really couldn't do that.

Li Wendi also took out a business card from his pocket and handed it over, "This is my business card! I'm a newcomer in the textile industry. Mr. Cai, please take care of me in the future."

"Mutually! Take care of each other!" Cai Yanjun didn't dare to be arrogant. Seeing Li Wendi's neither humble nor arrogant attitude, he thought Li Wendi was the son of some wealthy family.

"Mr. Li, don't you want to go over there and have a chat? Why are you sitting here alone?" Cai Yanjun said tentatively with a smile. He didn't know Li Wendi and didn't want to offend Li Wendi with his words.

Li Wendi laughed and said, "I'm a newcomer in the industry, how can I know anyone? It seems a bit presumptuous to interrupt other people's conversations, which may cause discomfort, so I can only stay here and drink alone."

"I see! I do know a few colleagues in the same field. How about I introduce them to you, Mr. Li?" Cai Yanjun said sincerely.

Li Wendi certainly would not refuse an opportunity that came to his doorstep. He was not so shameless as to say, "Then I'll trouble Mr. Cai!"

"My friend is over there." Cai Yanjun said with a smile, pointing in a certain direction.

There are naturally some favors between ordinary friends. Even if you may not be able to help with big things, you can still have help with small things.

The two came to a small circle of four people, and Cai Yanjun introduced them to his friends, "This is Mr. Li Wendi."

One of them frowned slightly and looked at Li Wendi with wide eyes, as if he had seen Li Wendi before.

"I seem to have seen news about Mr. Li in the newspaper some time ago. I didn't expect to run into him today." The man had a polite smile on his face, but his eyes were sharp.

Everyone looked at Li Wendi and the person who spoke in confusion.

"It is true that I have been in newspapers, but those were just random reports by some reporters for publicity. I am a serious businessman." Li Wendi did not deny it, but admitted it generously.

"Sorry! I'm just going over there to say hello." The man left without explaining.

People in the business world are all shrewd people. Even though they don't understand, they are not willing to talk more with Li Wendi.

Li Wendi watched those people whispering as they walked, obviously trying to dig up his past. Suddenly, a feeling of depression surged in his heart, and there was only Cai Yanjun left by his side.

He took a deep breath and said to Cai Yanjun, "Mr. Cai, I am actually a gangster. I used to be the boss in Tsim Sha Tsui. I can understand that they have some misunderstandings about me. I can also understand that Mr. Cai has doubts."

Li Wendi didn't want to force the relationship, as it wouldn't be of much use, so it was better not to have it.

In fact, serious businessmen don't really want to deal with gangs. After all, they are not as ruthless or as miserable as the Young and Dangerous. They care a lot about their relatives and careers.

Cai Yanjun stared at Li Wendi blankly. He didn't expect to meet a gangster, and a powerful gangster. After thinking about it for a while, Cai Yanjun felt that this was a good opportunity, but he still had some concerns in his heart, "Mr. Li, are you still working in the society now?"

Li Wendi smiled and said, "I didn't leave the society, but I didn't do much in the society anymore. I also do legitimate business."

"Mr. Li, excuse me for being blunt, but don't you make more money doing illegal things than doing legitimate business?" Cai Yanjun asked timidly. The Heishe Society was a bit scary, and he was afraid of offending Li Wendi.

Li Wendi smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, Mr. Cai. I won't take revenge on others for such a small matter. It is true that you can earn more money by doing illegal activities than by doing legitimate business, but it is also very dangerous. Besides, my mother doesn't like me being a gangster, and I also want to do legitimate business. Making illegal money is not a long-term solution."

Cai Yanjun nodded and said, "Mr. Li, although you have good intentions, those businessmen will still be afraid. Moreover, they have other options and are unlikely to cooperate with you, Mr. Li, unless you can provide them with greater profits."

"Mr. Cai, what you said does make sense, but the facts are already like this. If I don't come out and show that I have turned over a new leaf, there will be no room for maneuver." Li Wendi shook his head and said.

Man proposes, God disposes!
Li Wendi did not have much choice. After all, there were many businessmen who claimed to be honest people, but there were relatively few businessmen as honest as Li Wendi. Naturally, they would not be willing to dye their skin black.

Cai Yanjun was silent for a moment. He thought that what Li Wendi did was not very effective and it was easy for him to not please both sides. However, he also had his own interests to appeal to. First, he did not have enough funds, and second, he had few connections (he did not know anyone in either the black or white world).

"Mr. Li, why don't we cooperate? With my help from the white side, many things will be easier to handle." Cai Yanjun said uncertainly.

Li Wendi knew that Cai Yanjun wanted to gain benefits from him, and he also wanted to make friends with Cai Yanjun. With one friend, he would have a second one. However, he did not expect that Cai Yanjun would use the power of the H way to develop the white way business. Isn't he afraid of being swallowed up by him?
He thought about it and felt that he could agree to this cooperation because he was destined to withdraw from the textile industry. Cai Yanjun's purpose would not affect the overall situation. As long as he could earn the original capital from the cooperation, he could accept it.

However, Li Wendi cannot miss any opportunity to expand his network.

"Mr. Cai, I can cooperate with you, but I can't leave all the business matters to you. I still have to make a living in this industry, so how can I not know some partners and colleagues?"

Cai Yanjun took a deep look at Li Wendi and still believed that the advantages outweighed the disadvantages. "Okay, but some people will not cooperate with the Black Society openly. I suggest that Mr. Li does not need to meet those people."

"Okay, can we meet? We'll discuss the details later."

"Well, I wish us a happy cooperation!"

Bang! !

The two goblets clinked together, making a pleasant sound.

In fact, there were a small number of businessmen with mafia backgrounds at the banquet, but Li Wendi did not want to cooperate with them. After all, he just wanted to whitewash himself, not just make money and socialize.

After reaching a preliminary agreement with Cai Yanjun, Cai Yanjun took Li Wendi to make friends with some businessmen who were not averse to gang backgrounds.

It has to be said that Cai Yanjun is a very capable person. The colleagues he introduced next all treated Li Wendi with good looks. There was no rejection in their words, and they even seemed to be trying to please him, which made Li Wendi feel much happier.

While drinking at the party, Li Wendi negotiated a small deal with a businessman.
