The moment Li Zetian got out of the car, his expression turned extremely ugly, clearly demonstrating that Li Zetian's acting skills were also on point.
However, half an hour later.
The Old Peak Road leading to Victoria Peak.
'Boom~'
"Bang, bang, bang~"
"what!!!"
Li Zetian, shot in the shoulder, collapsed in agony at the entrance of his villa, groaning in pain. Looking at the 'assassin' lying not far away, Li Zetian silently cursed Li Jun: 'Li Jun, I'll fuck your mother! You think you can just attack like that?'
Meanwhile, at Victoria Peak, at Judy's Villa.
"Judy, take it easy..."
Li Jun felt no pain whatsoever in Li Zetian's life; he only felt a sense of pleasure...
after an hour.
"Jun, I can't go on."
Exhausted, Tang Judy hugged Li Jun tightly and whispered.
"Judy, go exercise when you have time."
"It's not that you're not physically fit, it's that more exercise will make childbirth smoother."
Li Jun was halfway through his sentence when he sensed a murderous aura and immediately added to his sentence.
"I have so many things to do at Shimao Group, and I also have to worry about the Mengzhi Club. I don't have a man around to help me, so how can I have time to exercise?"
Tang Judy looked at Li Jun with a 'resentful' expression.
"Judy, the Dream Club is opening tomorrow. Is everything ready?"
Upon hearing what Tang Judy said, Li Jun immediately changed the subject.
"Ah."
Tang Judy knew that Li Jun would never give her what she wanted; she was just saying it to make herself feel better. Seeing that Li Jun was deliberately changing the subject, she gave Li Jun and herself a way out.
"However, with Peng Jiakang's actions today, the opening ceremony of Mengzhi Club tomorrow will probably be very quiet."
Li Jun said with a smile.
"It's alright, I believe Mengzhi Club will become popular sooner or later."
Tang Judy cupped Li Jun's face in her hands, her eyes filled with trust and admiration as she looked at him.
"Judy, I know a new way to exercise, why don't we give it a try..."
That night, Li Jun worked very hard, Tang Judy worked very hard, and Hong Kong Governor Peng Jiakang also worked very hard.
The Governor's Residence.
After the banquet, among the guests, only six foreigners remained: Shen Bi, manager of HSBC; Robinson, manager of Standard Chartered Bank; Edward Keswick, manager of Jardine Matheson; Swire, manager of Swire Group; Madden, manager of Wheelock & Co.; and Qi Dezun, manager of Hutchison Whampoa.
These six foreigners were the true agents of the Hong Kong British government. As for Zhou Junnian, a Western-worshipping lackey, he was not considered human in the eyes of Peng Jiakang and others.
“In the last 10 years, we have been too lenient with the Chinese. I hope you will take this opportunity to deal with Li Jun and take action to purge some of the Chinese businessmen who are pro-northern and neutral.”
"The arrangements made by the ancestral family on Hong Kong Island are extremely important for the future of Hong Kong Island and must be implemented without any compromise or surprise."
Peng Jiakang looked at the six foreigners in front of him and slowly began to speak.
Dealing with Li Jun was indeed one of Peng Jiakang's tasks, but in his eyes, Li Jun was just a pawn in his scheme to achieve his goals. His real purpose was to use the defeat of Li Jun to bring the entire Hong Kong Island back under the absolute rule of the British.
"Why not let the Zhou family and the four major real estate developers take the lead? We've nurtured them for so many years, it's time for them to come out and bite back."
After Peng Jiakang finished speaking, Shen Bi, the manager of HSBC, said with a smile.
"Manager Shen, that's a good idea."
Peng Jiakang smiled and nodded.
“Mr. Governor, perhaps we can make use of the Hong Kong Island Chamber of Commerce.”
After Peng Jiakang finished speaking, Edward Keswick, the manager of Jardine Matheson, smiled slightly and said slowly.
After hearing Edward Keswick's words, all the foreigners present broke into 'bright' smiles.
Clearly, they all understood Edward Keswick's unspoken meaning.
The next day, at noon, in Tsim Sha Tsui, at the Mengzhi Club.
"Ah Jun, what you're doing..."
On the opening day of the Mengzhi Club, only Li Zhan, Li Jun's future father-in-law, came to show his support. Apart from him, no other wealthy businessmen from the entire Hong Kong Island came to show their support.
The entire Mengzhi Club was deserted and lifeless, which made Li Zhan feel a little worried for Li Jun.
"Uncle Zhan, don't worry, there's plenty of time."
3 Li Jun said to Li Zhan with a smile.
At this time.
"Brother Jun, Mr. He Xian and Mr. He Xin from Haojiang have arrived."
Mona walked up to Li Jun and said to him with a smile.
"Uncle Zhan, I'm going to greet the guests."
After greeting Li Zhan, Li Jun led Meng Na to the entrance of the Mengzhi Club.
“Uncle Xian, Mr. He, what merit do I, Li Jun, have to deserve your personal support from Haojiang?”
Li Jun smiled and said he was sorry, leaving He Xin speechless.
"Ah Jun, we're all so familiar with each other, so let's not stand on ceremony. Come on, show us around your VIP club."
He Xian said to Li Jun with a smile.
Then, he leaned close to Li Jun and whispered, "Jun, there are some things we need to talk about in a safe place."
Hearing He Xian's words, Li Jun nodded slightly, then smiled and said, "Mona, prepare VIP cards for Uncle Xian and Mr. He. Uncle Xian, Mr. He, please!"
ten minutes later.
A small meeting room in the Mengzhi Club.
"Jun, the reason Ah Xin and I came to see you this time is not only to support you, but also because someone asked Ah Xin to pass on a message to you."
He Xian said to Li Jun with a smile.
"Mr. He, which important figure would like you to pass on a message?"
After listening to He Xian's words, Li Jun looked at He Xin, who was sitting next to He Xian, and asked with a smile.
"Still calling me Mr. He?"
He Xin looked displeased and said to Li Jun in a low voice.
"Uncle He, it's mine."
Li Jun immediately changed how he addressed himself.
"Also, that kid Huang San keeps telling me that his niece was the last one to be with you, and the first one to get pregnant. She's due in a few months. Your aunt asked me to ask you why Tian'er's belly hasn't shown any signs of pregnancy yet. Is it because you haven't tried hard enough?"
He Xin blushed as he said this.
He was forced to ask Li Jun this question by his sister, who was eager to become a grandmother.
"Uncle, this... I absolutely did my best, but Tian'er said she's temporarily..."
“Ah Jun, your aunt said that your and Tian’er’s opinions are not important. What’s important is that she wants to hold her grandson.”
Before Li Jun could finish explaining, He Xin interrupted him.
"Okay, Uncle, I understand what Aunt means. I promise that I will make sure Aunt holds her grandson next year."
Li Jun patted his chest and said.
Hearing Li Jun's words, He Xin nodded in satisfaction. He wouldn't tell Li Jun that he was also eager to hold his grandson, otherwise he would feel that working for Li Jun would make him feel listless.
Then, He Xin said, "Ah Jun, you should know that my grandfather is the sixth son of the second generation of the He family in Hong Kong, right?"
"I know, my uncle comes from a prestigious family."
Li Jun replied with a smile.
"Prestigious family my foot, just a comprador family. Let's not get into that. Last night, He Dong from the He family called me and said he wanted to meet you."
Clearly, He Xin did not have a very good impression of the He family in Hong Kong.
In fact, Li Jun could understand it very well. When He Xin was young, his family fell into decline. The He family, which was already the most powerful family in Hong Kong at the time, not only did not lend a helping hand, but also treated He Xin's branch of the family as if it did not exist. They were just short of expelling He Xin's branch from the family tree.
However, after He Xin made a name for himself in Macau and became the gambling king of Macau, the He family in Hong Kong Island seemed to suddenly regain their memory and remember that the He family once had a sixth branch.
Therefore, it is perfectly normal that He Xin does not have a good impression of the He family.
"He Dong wants to meet with me? According to convention, he should have met with the new Governor of Hong Kong, Peng Jiakang, last night."
Upon hearing He Xin's words, Li Jun's eyes flickered slightly.
“Ah Jun, Hong Kong Island has 500 million people, and hundreds of families of all sizes. In this place, the Chinese have never been a monolithic entity.”
