Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

Chapter 602

He was well aware that the situation was urgent, so he quickly mobilized his connections, which he had painstakingly built up over the years and spread out like a spider web, and ran around, desperately seeking help.

During the phone call, he spoke earnestly, explained the seriousness of the situation one by one, and asked all parties to lend a helping hand.

After some difficult negotiations and waiting, finally, 10 cars of the same model slowly came into view.

These cars are neatly and orderly arranged in the yard. Under the bright sunlight, their bodies shine with a cold and hard metallic luster, like a group of silent guards, silently waiting for the unknown and challenging journey that is about to begin.

In a flash, everyone responded quickly, as if they were an elite force that had been through many battles, well-trained and moving in an orderly manner.

They were agile and nimble like cheetahs, and they walked quickly towards the car in unison.

Everyone carefully opened their car doors, got in quickly with skillful and agile movements, and then closed the doors quietly. Their cautious appearance was just like that of agents carrying out a secret mission, afraid that even the slightest sound would attract the enemy's attention again.

The convoy started slowly, with several motorcycles leading the way and escorting in front and behind.

The motorcyclists were dressed in neat black leather jackets, which shone with a cool and hard luster in the sun, making their taller and more upright figures stand out.

They wore cool helmets, revealing only a pair of firm and sharp eyes, with unquestionable courage in their eyes.

They just held the handlebars firmly and twisted the accelerator slightly. The motorcycles shot out like an arrow in an instant. The roar of the engine was deafening, and the sound seemed to break through the sky, as if announcing to potential enemies their fearless determination to move forward bravely and never retreat.

Inside the car, the atmosphere was so heavy that it was almost suffocating. Everyone's expressions were tense, and their hands were clenched tightly as if they were welded to guns.

Their eyes are like those of a night owl, sharp and vigilant. They do not miss any slight movement outside the car. Even a falling leaf can make them alert in an instant.

Everyone is like a cheetah ready to pounce. As soon as they sense the slightest abnormality, their muscles will instinctively tense up and they will pull the trigger without hesitation, giving the enemy a fatal counterattack.

In order to ensure safety along the way, they took great pains and carefully planned an extremely tricky route, completely breaking away from conventional thinking.

Sometimes the car suddenly turned into a narrow and deep alley. The mottled walls on both sides were so close that the car body and the walls made a slight sound, as if passing by danger; sometimes it went around to a remote path where few people went. The surroundings were terrifyingly quiet and the only sound was the low roar of the car engine and the squeaking sound of the wheels crushing the gravel.

Along the way, they shuttled between light and darkness, trying to use such roundabout tactics to make the enemy completely unable to figure out their whereabouts, thus ensuring the smooth progress of the mission.

Perhaps it was Gao Kening's sudden death that caused the enemy camp, which was originally lurking around with ulterior motives, to be in chaos, and the carefully planned deployment collapsed in an instant.

Everyone set out on the journey with a nervous and anxious mood, constantly rehearsing in their minds the dangerous attack scenarios that they might encounter again.

However, the journey was smoother than expected.

There was no sound of piercing gunfire that could tear the silence apart and startle the eardrums, nor was there any sight of the terrifying ambush lurking in the dark, waiting for an opportunity, sending chills down one's spine.

Only the steady and gentle hum of the car engine was like a soothing andante, carrying them slowly forward on the road.

The street scene outside the window was like a rapidly flipping slide show, with the rows of buildings and hurried passers-by all flashing before my eyes.

Soon, everyone felt relieved and arrived at the majestic Governor's Palace safely.

The Governor's Palace stands majestically on the side of a busy street with heavy traffic. Its architectural style is solemn and majestic, showing its grandeur.

The huge stone pillars are like towering ancient trees breaking out of the ground, reaching into the sky, demonstrating their awe-inspiring majesty.

On the stone pillars, the exquisite reliefs are so ingenious that the figures, flowers, birds and exotic animals are all lifelike, as if they are whispering the past stories that are either magnificent or tortuous and bizarre in the long river of time.

People traveling with us got off the bus one after another, in hurried steps, their faces full of anticipation for the activities they were about to participate in.

He Yuzhu, however, was as steady as a rock, sitting upright in his seat in the car, his body not moving at all, with no sign of getting off.

Lin Wanting was sitting next to him. When she saw this scene, a look of surprise flashed across her face. She subconsciously touched He Yuzhu's arm and reminded him in a voice almost as loud as a whisper: "Boss, it's time to get off the car."

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu did not respond immediately, but shook his head slowly. His deep eyes were filled with determination and mystery, making him difficult to understand.

After a brief pause, he turned to the driver and said in a calm but unquestionable tone: "Go to the dock."

The driver was slightly startled when he heard this sudden instruction, but his years of professionalism allowed him to react quickly. He nodded quickly, held the steering wheel steadily with both hands, started the car, turned the car smoothly, and sped towards the dock.

The area of ​​Haojiang is small and there is no airport.

He Yuzhu knew that the pier was very likely to become a key node in his subsequent itinerary.

The car slowly drove away from the Governor's Palace, and its wheels made a dull sound as they rolled over the ground.

The scene outside the window changes constantly like a kaleidoscope of people, with bustling crowds of people, some rushing to make a living, some strolling leisurely in groups of two or three, and various Cantonese dialects interweaving and echoing; buildings of different styles, including arcades with Lingnan characteristics, with carved railings and jade bricks showing ancient charm, and European-style houses, with spires and pillars showing exotic customs; the streets are busy with traffic, trams are clanging, car horns are honking one after another, and motorcycles are flexibly shuttling in the gaps.

These scenes gradually faded away as the car drove on.

At this moment, He Yuzhu's eyes were deep as he looked into the distance. He seemed to have already outlined a clear plan in his mind. However, this plan was like being wrapped in heavy fog and was temporarily hidden deep in his heart, and no one knew about it.

In this bustling yet undercurrent-filled land filled with countless commercial games, fortunately, the nearby Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong is advanced enough.

Kai Tak Airport is like a shining pearl carefully inlaid on the edge of the city, sparkling under the sunlight.

The runway is like a wide and smooth silver ribbon, stretching from the bustling city all the way to the vast distance, as if telling of its mission to connect the world.

As you step into the airport, you will find a wide variety of modern facilities.

The spacious and bright waiting hall has a high ceiling design, and sunlight pours in through the huge glass curtain walls, illuminating every corner.

Rows of comfortable seats are neatly arranged to meet the passengers' waiting needs; at the convenient inquiry desk, the staff always have a smile on their faces and patiently answer every question of the passengers.

Various advanced navigation equipment are hidden in key locations, guiding the takeoff and landing of aircraft with precise calculations and signal transmission.

The complete service facilities cover all aspects from catering and shopping to medical emergency, allowing every passing passenger to truly feel the convenience and efficiency, as if they were in a warm station in the sky.

If you want to travel by plane now, the only option is to depart from the pier.

This pier is like a never-stopping water transportation hub, and the busy scene is dazzling.

Various types of ships shuttled back and forth on the water. Large cruise ships were like towering castles on the sea, slowly leaving the port; small speedboats were like nimble fish, shuttling flexibly between the ships.

The whistles they make vary in length and pitch, rising and falling one after another, interweaving together into a unique and vibrant melody.

On the ground of the pier, passengers were walking in a hurry, holding their luggage tightly in their hands, and their figures flashed in every corner of the pier.

Some were anxiously checking flight information, some were bidding farewell to their relatives and friends, and others were hurriedly running towards the waiting area, heading for their respective destinations, which were either familiar or unfamiliar.

They planned to go to the prosperous Hong Kong first.

Stepping into Hong Kong is like entering a bizarre dream world.

The streets are crowded with cars, one after another, like a never-ending, roaring river of steel. The rustling sound of tires rubbing against the ground interweaves into a noisy melody of the city.

The tall buildings stand side by side, like sharp swords piercing the sky. Under the caress of the sun, the metal decorations on the facades shine brightly, reflecting a dazzling light.

As night slowly falls, the neon lights are like lit stars, red, green, blue, colorful, flashing non-stop, decorating the entire city like a dream, a city that never sleeps.

Along the way from the pier to Hong Kong's Kai Tak Airport, there are so many street shops that you can't even think of taking a look.

In the window of a jewelry store, exquisite jewelry is arranged in an orderly manner. Diamonds, rubies, sapphires and other dazzling gems emit a captivating and charming glow under the illumination of special lights, as if telling their own unique stories.

Not far away, the door of a coffee shop was half-open. The rich aroma of coffee mixed with the roasted aroma was like invisible tentacles, attracting the attention of passers-by and slowing down their pace unconsciously.

Further ahead, the food stalls filled with all kinds of special snacks were crowded with people. Fish balls were rolling in the pot, giving off a fresh fragrance. The egg waffles were golden in color, giving off an enticing sweet aroma. The color, aroma and taste were all delicious, making people salivate at the first sight.

Lin Wanting stood in a corner of the office, watching her boss He Yuzhu calmly folding clothes one by one and putting them neatly into the open suitcase. His movements were skillful and orderly.

An expression of surprise that was difficult to conceal instantly appeared on her face, and her eyes were as big as bells, full of disbelief.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally walked up quickly, with a puzzled look on her face, and asked anxiously: "Boss, are you leaving now?"

Her tone was filled with confusion, as if in her opinion, the current market was booming and there were potential business opportunities everywhere, and it was hard to understand why the boss chose to leave at this critical juncture.

"Just follow me." He Yuzhu didn't even raise his head. His tone was extremely flat, but there was a hint of unquestionable firmness in his words, as if there was no room for negotiation.

He Yuzhu has lost all interest in this bidding.

He sat in the dim office, the light dim, his thoughts in a mess.

At this moment, the specific contents of the two bids kept surging in his mind, like two completely different trajectories, clearly and cruelly placed in front of him.

The offer made by the entertainment company was like a towering, insurmountable mountain, which caused quite a stir in the industry.

Compared with the figures provided by Taixing Company, they are like an ant compared to an elephant, they are simply far behind and the gap is so huge that it is staggering.

Not only that, the subsequent conditions promised by the entertainment company also demonstrated a grand business layout and were extremely generous.

They have carefully planned to build a series of high-end supporting facilities around the casino and construct a comprehensive business circle integrating entertainment, leisure and consumption.

An ultra-luxury hotel will be built, which will be equipped with a top-level service team. From doormen to room service, every link will be served with the highest standards to welcome guests from all over the world. Large shopping malls are also being planned. By then, various well-known global brands will move in, and a wide range of goods will meet the needs of consumers at different levels.

What is even more attractive is that they also plan to regularly invite internationally renowned performance teams to perform. Whether it is a passionate song and dance show or a thrilling magic show, it will greatly enrich the entertainment life around the casino.

This series of forward-looking and attractive conditions, like a solid fortress, allows entertainment companies to firmly occupy an absolute advantage in this fierce competition, making it difficult for competitors to catch up.

In October 1961, the autumn wind was blowing across this city full of ambition and desire.

In this land, Aocheng Entertainment Company is like a shining new star, standing out in the fierce competition for gambling licenses. If nothing unexpected happens, it will most likely successfully win the license.

As soon as the news came out, the whole city was in an uproar. All parties were like sharks smelling blood, closely following the development of the situation. People in the streets and alleys were talking about this major event that could change the city's landscape.

However, He Yuzhu seemed unusually calm, and his mind was as clear as a mirror.

Although victory seems to be in sight if Aocheng Entertainment Company successfully obtains the license, this does not mean that it can be put into operation immediately.

From a procedural perspective, even if the license is obtained now, a series of tedious preparatory work is still required.

More importantly, the gambling license has a clear effective time limit. It will not officially take effect until the end of 1961, or to be exact, from January 1962, 1.

Thinking of this, He Yuzhu felt that there was no need to stay here and wait for the final result which he already knew, which would be a waste of time and energy.

He stood quietly in front of the spacious and bright floor-to-ceiling window, his posture as straight as a pine tree, his eyes penetrating the spotless glass to the bustling street scene outside the window.
