Cheng Qingquan said in a deep voice: "I don't want any money, I just want to be your friend."

Shen Dong was silent for a long time, then suddenly laughed and said, "No wonder Mr. Cheng was able to start from scratch and build such a big business? Just this vision and ambition are admirable. Okay, I'll take the construction company. I owe you a favor."

Cheng Qingquan wanted Shen Dong's favor, so he said, "Then it's settled."

Shen Dong picked up the mobile phone and dialed Ahua's number directly.

"Ahua, the discussion went smoothly. I'll send the gift home."

"clear."

Cheng Qingquan picked up the teacup and said with a smile, "Thank you."

Shen Dong touched him and said, "It's my duty."

With the clinking of glasses, the originally grim atmosphere in the teahouse became much more relaxed.

Cheng Qingquan, Hong Wen and Shen Dong sat together and chatted for a full hour before leaving.

On the way back, Cheng Qingquan's mind still flashed with Shen Dong's excited look when he talked about the development of the inland. He said, "Awen, I can basically judge that Shen Dong is from the inland. No one from Hong Kong Island would have such a sense of belonging to the inland."

Hong Wen nodded and said, "I feel that too. Brother Quan, when you gave him the construction company, did you intend to make friends with him?"

Cheng Qingquan said: "This Shen Dong is not a simple person. His views on business are more unique than mine, and his vision is more accurate. In addition, it is only a matter of time before Hong Kong Island returns to the mainland. It is much better to be friends with him than to be enemies with him."

Hong Wendao agreed: "You are right."

Cheng Qingquan turned to look at Cheng Donglai next to him and said, "Alai, don't think about revenge. You can't beat him, understand?"

Cheng Donglai said: "As long as my wife and children come back safely, I promise not to cause him any trouble."

Just then, his cell phone rang.

"Hello, I'm Cheng Donglai, who is this?"

"Hubby, my kids and I are home. Woo..."

"They didn't do anything to you, did they?"

"No. They took us to a residential area. Apart from the restrictions on our freedom, everything else was fine. They even bought a lot of toys for the children."

"As long as you're all right, I'll be home soon."

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Donglai breathed a sigh of relief.

Cheng Qingquan had heard the conversation between the two and said with a smile, "Yes, Shen Dong is quite a man of integrity."

Hong Wen said: "Since everything is fine, I will go back. There are still many things in the company that I need to deal with."

Cheng Qingquan smiled and said, "Okay, Awen, I'm grateful for your kindness. I'll host a dinner for you at home tomorrow afternoon."

Hong Wen said: "I will definitely be there."

On the other side, Shen Dong did not go home, but went directly to the Bi Hai Nightclub.

"Xiao Ma, is there any problem with reopening tonight?"

"We have no internal problems. The key is to see whether our customers will be affected by this incident."

"Are all those girls we have a working relationship with willing to come back?"

"Yes. In the past two days, several other nightclubs have tried to recruit them with high prices, but they refused. Ah Chan asked them the reason, and they said that they liked the cooperation model of our Bi Hai Nightclub. Other nightclubs would not respect their personal wishes at all. As long as the man was rich, they had to accompany him. However, Bi Hai Nightclub gave them full respect."

"Very good. This shows that our operating model is correct. Xiao Ma, have you ever thought about organizing a beauty pageant?"

Xiao Ma's eyes lit up and he said, "Brother Dong, we really think alike. Ah Chan and I just discussed this matter. As long as the prize money is in place, it will definitely attract many beautiful women to participate."

Shen Dong smiled and said, "We can use a beauty pageant to offset the negative impact of this event. As long as we do it well, we will not only not lose money, but we may even make a fortune."

Xiao Ma said: "Brother Dong, give me a week, and I will give you a satisfactory answer."

Shen Dong patted his shoulder and said, "I believe you."

Chapter 207 CEO Selection

That night, the Bi Hai Nightclub opened again.

Compared to usual times, customer traffic was reduced by half, and profits were only around 1.5 million.

But most of the beauties who worked with the nightclub did not leave.

As long as they are there, former customers will come back sooner or later.

Cheng Qingquan does things very cleanly and efficiently.

The next morning, he asked someone to deliver a check for HK$420 million and the transfer agreement of Cheng’s Construction Company to Shen Dong.

Shen Dong did not sign the contract immediately, but instead sent Song Zihao and financial staff to check the financial status of Cheng Construction Company.

Facts have proved that Shen Dong was judging others by his own mean standards.

Cheng's Construction Company's accounts are very clear, with no loans or outstanding debts.

After signing the contract, Shen Dong began looking for a candidate for the CEO of Tengfei Real Estate Company.

During this period, Shen Dong has been in charge of the management of Tengfei Real Estate Company.

The problem is that Shen Dong can't put all his energy into the real estate company, so he must find a suitable person to serve as CEO and handle some of the company's trivial matters.

But in the general direction, Shen Dong must have the final say.

As an international city, Hong Kong Island has the largest number of business talents.

As soon as the job opening with a monthly salary of HK$200,000 was announced, it immediately attracted countless people to apply.

"Brother Dong, here are forty-six resumes, all for the position of CEO of our real estate company. Please take a look." Song Zihao placed a large stack of materials in front of Shen Dong and said respectfully.

Shen Dong picked up the resumes and flipped through a few of them. He couldn't help but frown and said, "These resumes are all cut from the same mold. There's really nothing special about them. Ah Hao, have you read them? Are there any people who are particularly worthy of attention?"

“There’s one person I find very interesting.”

Song Zihao found the resume of a man named Tang Peijun and said, "He used to be the CEO of Longhai Real Estate Company. For some unknown reason, he was thrown out by Long Qingqun after his legs were broken ten years ago."

In the past six months, Tengfei Real Estate Company and Longhai Real Estate Company have been in a honeymoon period.

Shen Dong’s four office buildings in Central and Tsim Sha Tsui will be topped out in at most a month, and the largest residential community in Tin Shui Wai is also under intensive construction.

Once these two projects are completed, Shen Dong will be able to earn more than 300 million yuan in rent each year.

With business connections, Shen Dong and Long Qingqun naturally met often.

Long Qingqun kept a very humble attitude. Every time they met Shen Dong, he praised him highly and even lent him 300 million yuan at an interest rate of 10%.

Shen Dong had never seen or even heard of such a good thing as donating money and effort to build a house for him.

Needless to say, this guy must have evil intentions.

Shen Dong picked up Tang Peijun's resume and took a look. Apart from working as CEO of Longhai Real Estate Company for eight years, his other experience was almost blank.

What interested Shen Dong was that he left a sentence in the last box, with very small font.

If you don't pay attention, most people won't notice it.

"Be careful of Long Qingqun."

Shen Dong read it out and smiled, "Ah Hao, what do you think of this Tang Peijun?"

Song Zihao said: "It's hard to say now, it would be best if we could meet him."

Shen Dong said, "Call him right away and ask him to come over. I want to see what kind of person this Tang Peijun is."

An hour later, Shen Dong met Tang Peijun.

According to his resume, this guy is 44 years old this year, but judging from his appearance, he must be at least 60 years old.

Even after careful grooming, his face was still full of vicissitudes, except for his eyes which were tough and deep, giving people a feeling that he could not be defeated or crushed.

"Mr. Tang, you don't seem to be having a good time these years?"

Tang Peijun smiled bitterly and said, "Displaced."

Shen Dong asked him to sit down and asked with interest: "You have made great contributions to the development and growth of Longhai Real Estate Company, but I don't understand why you two parted ways in the end?"

Tang Peijun said, "Long Qingqun and I have different ideas. I believe that if a company wants to develop, it must take an upright path, but Long Qingqun likes to use crooked means, often using some improper means to compete for land and harm those who are being relocated. Although it is not illegal, this method is simply unsustainable. Finally, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I submitted my resignation to him. What I never expected was that Long Qingqun would actually attack me. Not only did he break my leg, but he also wanted to kill me. Fortunately, I fled overseas, otherwise, I would have been a pile of bones by now."

Shen Dong asked: "What kind of business have you been doing overseas in the past ten years? Why did you come back?"

Tang Peijun said, "I worked for a financial company, but unfortunately it failed. Some time ago, I heard that you and Long Qingqun were cooperating in developing a lot of real estate projects, so I returned to Hong Kong and submitted my resume."

Shen Dong asked: "Since you have worked with Long Qingqun before, you should be very clear about his methods. I can't imagine how Long Qingqun could snatch those properties from me?"

Tang Peijun said: "First, he will do everything he can to kill you, and then forge a few transfer agreements to swallow up your properties."

Shen Dong asked curiously: "Forged agreement?"

Tang Peijun said, "Long Qingquan is a great calligrapher and can imitate anyone's handwriting. As long as he prepares the agreement and signs your name in your handwriting, and then after you die, he takes your finger and presses it, it will naturally have legal effect. I now suspect that he may not only want these buildings, but may even want your other businesses, especially the Bi Hai Nightclub that makes a fortune every day."

Shen Dong laughed loudly and said, "Talented, insidious and cunning, what a Long Qingqun."

Song Zihao said: "Brother Dong, we have to be on guard against Long Qingqun."

Shen Dong said, "This is inevitable. He used a loan of only 10% interest to build a house for us, which is itself a suspicious thing. How could I not be on guard against him? Mr. Tang, are you interested in becoming the CEO of our Tengfei Real Estate Company?"

Tang Peijun immediately said, "Of course. But it's best not to let Long Qingqun know of my existence."

Chapter 208 Tang Peijun has a problem

Shen Dong smiled and said, "You can first use a pseudonym and serve as my secretary to manage the company's daily work. Once you have dealt with Long Qingqun, you can officially show up."

Tang Peijun stood up, bowed deeply to Shen Dong, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Shen."

Shen Dong said, "You should go back first. Get ready and go to work at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. If you encounter any difficulties, you can call me. By the way, where are your family members?"

Tang Peijun said: "They are still in the Lighthouse Country. I didn't dare to bring them back."

Shen Dong nodded and said, "You are quite cautious. Go ahead."

Tang Peijun walked out of Tengfei Real Estate Company without a smile on his face.

He got into the car, picked up his cell phone and dialed a number.

"Shen Dong agreed to let me be the CEO."

Long Qingqun's loud laughter came from the other side.

"Too clever. I knew Shen Dong would ask you to help him deal with me."

Tang Peijun said sternly: "Where are my wife and daughter? I want to see them."

It turned out that Tang Peijun did not return to Hong Kong voluntarily, but was forced back by Long Qingqun.

Long Qingqun captured his wife and children and forced Tang Peijun to work for him.

Tang Peijun had no choice but to give in.

The reason why I told Shen Dong a lot about Long Qingqun was just to gain Shen Dong's trust.

Long Qingqun said: "It's impossible to meet them, but I can let you hear their voices."

Tang Peijun said coldly: "No. You are too cunning. I must see with my own eyes that they are still alive before I will continue to help you. Otherwise, I will tell Shen Dong all your plans. With Shen Dong's methods, you will definitely die."

Long Qingqun was furious and asked, "Are you threatening me?"

Tang Peijun gnashed his teeth and said, "I'm just threatening you. At worst, I'll use my whole family's life in exchange for yours."

Long Qingqun laughed in anger and said, "Old Tang, you are really good. You have learned to be ruthless. Okay, at 2 a.m. tonight, I will have someone bring your wife and children to see you."

Tang Peijun said: "I hope you keep your word."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Peijun turned around and glanced at the sign that said Tengfei Investment Company, and murmured, "Sorry, I don't have a choice."

On the other side, Shen Dong was discussing Tang Peijun with Song Zihao.

Song Zihao advised, "Brother Dong, I admit that Tang Peijun is a talented person and is familiar with real estate projects, but it will take a lot of time to observe whether he is loyal to you. Isn't it inappropriate to let him take the position of CEO so rashly?"

A glimmer of wisdom flashed in Shen Dong's eyes, and he smiled and said, "No need to observe, there is something wrong with Tang Peijun."

Song Zihao was stunned and asked, "Brother Dong, what did you see?"

Shen Dong said: "From the first time I saw Tang Peijun, I felt that he was not sincere in joining me. The reason why I let him be the CEO was mainly to see what this guy was trying to do. Haha, I even suspected that he was very likely sent by Long Qingqun as an undercover."

Song Zihao said in surprise: "No way? Long Qingqun did break his legs and kicked him out of the company. How could he let go of such a big grudge?"

Shen Dong said: "There are only a few reasons that can force a person to work for his enemy. Tang Peijun should not be the kind of person who is blinded by money."
