Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

From the situation of Chen Buhui and his two sons, one can see why Chen Buhui is expected to become the next Grand Master of Hongmen.

Chen Buhui’s martial prowess is unquestionable, and as the hall master of the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness, his prestige is sufficient.

In Chinatown, he often visits the lonely elders, bringing them gifts during the holidays.

Whenever locals have issues, he is also willing to lend a hand.

In terms of martial prowess, there is also his eldest son as a strong supporter.

His second son not only understands economics but is also a lawyer.

It could be said that the father and sons trio is second only to the Grand Master of Hongmen in the organization.

Time passed by, second by second.

It was almost twelve o’clock, and Xu Yang and his group had not been seen.

This caused Chen Hongwu, Chen Buhui’s eldest son, to become somewhat dissatisfied, "Dad, you said Liu Qiangxi and the others are coming to seek your help. It’s one thing for us to wait here, but for them to arrive so late, what does that mean?"

Chen Buhui was very calm, "You’re well aware of the traffic situation in Newark. I believe they wouldn’t be late without good reason; they must have encountered a traffic jam."

Xu Yang and his group running late didn’t bother him at all.

Truth be told, he looked quite impressive now and seemed quite likely to claim the seat of the Grand Master.

But the pressure on his position was also tremendous.

In today’s age, whether working in a gang organization, a company, or as an official in the States, it’s basically all for economic interests.

To put it bluntly, it’s about making money.

All the reputation and prestige, if they can’t be converted to money, are false.

Only when transformed into actual income do they become real.

Although Chen Buhui was the master of the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness, he was very clear about Hongmen’s financial situation.

Hongmen didn’t have many industries.

Mainly just some Chinese restaurants, entertainment cities, foot massage parlors, and laundries.

These industries are not only low-end and looked down upon, but their operations are also not doing so well.

Hongmen’s financial income was declining year by year.

If they made a few tens of millions in profit in one year, it would be considered quite decent.

Even though he was not directly responsible for Hongmen’s economy, he had to contribute to it.

With money, everything becomes easier to discuss; without money, everything is futile.

It’s not like the past anymore. In the past, fighting and killing could make money; now it’s all about doing business.

If the business doesn’t work out and there’s no money to be made, it’s all for nothing.

Chen Buhui had been involved in some other underground businesses, but those kinds of businesses couldn’t bear scrutiny.

Still, he hoped to earn money openly and honorably like other businessmen.

If there were other continuous revenue-generating industries, that would be the best scenario.

Having his people here to welcome Liu Qiangxi and his group certainly had its purpose.

Chen Hongwu said, "But there’s no need for us to wait here, right? We could just wait in the restaurant. Those who know understand they are coming to us for help, and those who don’t might think we are the ones in need of them."

Chen Buhui knew that although his eldest son had strong martial prowess and could manage the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness and safeguard the rules of Hongmen without any problem, he still lacked a deep understanding of the overall situation of Hongmen.

He did not explain to Chen Hongwu but simply smiled faintly and turned to ask his second son, Chen Hongwen, "Hong Wen, why do you think I have brought you both to welcome Liu Qiangxi and his group?"

Chen Hongwen’s eyes flickered, "Dad, Liu Qiangxi and his group are the hidden bosses behind the YTXC company. With the AI lover being a global sensation, if we could secure the agency rights for this product, it would undoubtedly increase substantial income for us and Hongmen.

Through this collaboration, we could also enter other industries in the States, no longer relying solely on the disreputable businesses like entertainment cities and laundries to make money."

Chen Buhui nodded with satisfaction, "Exactly, that’s the way it is. So, this time when Liu Qiangxi and his group come over, it’s not so much about them seeking our help as it is about us wanting to negotiate a partnership with them, to get the agency rights for the artificial intelligence companions from them."

He looked towards his eldest son, Chen Hongwu, "Do you understand now?"

Chen Hongwu furrowed his brow, "But Liu Qiangxi has already made it clear that he wants our assistance. We negotiate a partnership with them, ask for the agency rights as part of the exchange. That shouldn’t be a problem, right? Why should we wait here for them?"

Chen Buhui shook his head, "Hong Wu, you still haven’t grasped the nature of this matter. Let your younger brother explain to you."

Chen Hongwu turned to Chen Hongwen, "You get it?"

Chen Hongwen chuckled, "Brother, this matter is actually quite simple. The favor Liu Qiangxi is asking of our father, well, if you think about it, it’s definitely the kind of work we’re accustomed to, the kind that any gang organization can do. He’s seeking us out simply because we’re all Chinese, and because he has sought our father’s help before and trusts him."

Chen Hongwu frowned, "Isn’t that enough?"

Chen Hongwen replied, "Of course not. He can come to our father or he could go to any other gang organization. With money, he can get a lot of people to work for him. But if we want to secure the agency rights for selling artificial intelligence companions, we can only go to them."

Chen Hongwu’s mind was struggling to keep up. He scratched his head, "I still don’t quite understand."

Chen Hongwen explained, "To put it simply, we are replaceable, but they are irreplaceable. Understand?"

Chen Hongwu seemed to grasp it a bit and nodded, "I more or less get it now."

Chen Buhui said, "So, what’s the harm in waiting here for them? The artificial intelligence companion is a groundbreaking product. If we can secure the sales agency rights, Hongmen’s economic status will greatly improve, and my chances of competing for the title of Grand Master will increase significantly."

After a pause, he continued, "Also, I have heard that Liu Qiangxi and Ma Huateng are planning to break into the Beautiful Country. This could be another opportunity for us. You should be well aware of the stature of these two individuals in the China business world. If we can make some moves when the two of them are entering the Beautiful Country, then we won’t have to worry about Hongmen’s future."

Liu Qiangxi and his group comprised four individuals, each a billionaire.

Building good relationships with these people is all benefit and no harm.

The sales agency rights for the artificial intelligence companions represent an opportunity.

Liu Qiangxi and Ma Huateng’s plans to enter the Beautiful Country also present an opportunity.

Compared to these two opportunities, waiting here is no trouble at all.

To be honest, as long as we can get the sales agency rights for the artificial intelligence companions, it wouldn’t matter even if I had to wait until night, let alone until now.

As father and sons were talking,

they saw three Bentleys slowly approaching.

They stopped near the entrance of Chinatown.

Liu Qiangxi had the driver stop upon seeing Chen Buhui waiting there.

To be honest, Chen Buhui’s presence here came as a surprise to Liu Qiangxi.

Considering that he came to ask Chen Buhui for help,

Chen Buhui had no reason to come out and greet him.

He even began to wonder if Chen Buhui was waiting for someone else.

But since they had agreed to have lunch together at noon, and Chen Buhui hadn’t called to change the time, he could only get out of the car and ask.

If Chen Buhui was waiting for someone else, then he, Xu Yang, and the other two could simply leave.

Liu Qiangxi got out of the car and walked towards Chen Buhui, "Head Chen, what brings you here…"

"Haha, General Manager Liu, it’s been several years since we parted last time. I am really happy to see you today. Of course, I am here to welcome you."

Chen Buhui laughed heartily, stepped forward quickly, and took Liu Qiangxi’s hand in his.

This gesture left Liu Qiangxi somewhat bewildered.

He thought, I’m here to ask for your help, and although I’m paying you, that’s simply how it works, right?

There was absolutely no need for you to wait here for me.

To wait was one thing, but to do so with such enthusiasm, what was the meaning of this?
