Chapter 96 Tan Cheng (Ten chapters complete! Please subscribe!)
As for the other charity company under Li Ling's control, it was specifically established by him for Ah Weng.
Ah-Weng was raised by her mother alone from a young age. The experience of growing up in a single-parent family and enduring hardship has had a profound impact on her.
It is precisely because of this that Barbara Yung has always been very sensitive as she grew up. When she encounters problems in her relationships, she tends to go to extremes. She had already had two suicidal tendencies when she was studying in the UK.
Now that she has met Li Ling, a man who, despite his success in his career, doesn't meddle with other women, has given Ah Weng a fulfilling love life and prevented her from doing anything foolish again.
On the other hand, her own hardships growing up made her feel deeply sorry for homeless orphans. After seeing how often Ah Weng helped those orphans, Li Ling simply set up a charity company specifically for Ah Weng to manage.
On the one hand, he helps those orphans, and on the other hand, Li Ling doesn't want his woman to have nothing to do but be a wife and mother. He wants his wife to devote her life to charity, which is a very meaningful thing. Anyway, we don't lack money.
As for Li Ling, he was already very wealthy, yet he still worked for Hengda Company because he wanted to get rid of Tan Cheng, this scourge.
Now that Brother Hao has retired from the counterfeit money business, Li Ling and Brother Ma are in charge of Hengda Company's counterfeit money operation.
...
The group entered the company, and Li Ling went straight into the chairman's office, followed by his driver Da Biao, while the other underlings waited outside the door.
Upon entering the chairman's office, Li Ling immediately spotted Mr. Yao.
"Ah Ling is here."
Mr. Yao quickly stood up to greet him. Li Ling now held a very important position in the company, and Mr. Yao had to take him seriously.
Li Ling stepped forward, smiled, opened her arms, and hugged Mr. Yao. Then the two sat down on the sofa and started talking.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Mr. Yao handed over a cigar and said with a smile, "Ah Ling, this business will have to trouble you again. Tan Qiang from Kowloon specifically asked you to handle the shipment; he doesn't trust anyone else."
Li Ling smiled and replied, "It's what I should do."
In recent years, Li Ling has gained a great reputation in the industry and has become the gold standard of Hengda Company. Coupled with the reputation of his film and television investment company and charity company, he has a great influence and appeal not only in the entire industry, but also in the upper circles of Hong Kong Island.
Li Ling took the cigar offered by Mr. Yao, smelled it first, and then put it in his mouth. Da Biao, who was standing next to him, took a lighter and lit it for Li Ling.
Seeing this, a glint flashed in Mr. Yao's eyes, but he said nothing. Instead, he got up, took a briefcase from the safe, and handed it to Li Ling.
These are the goods needed for this transaction. Mr. Yao gave a few instructions, and Li Ling nodded to indicate that he had remembered them.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and someone walked in.
When Li Ling saw that person, his eyes flickered slightly. Tan Cheng, I've finally waited for you.
The person who walked in was none other than Tan Cheng, the biggest boss in the movie "A Better Tomorrow"! However, the current "Big Brother Cheng" has not yet grown to that level.
Based on the timeline of the plot, Tan Cheng should have just joined the company recently, while Li Ling has been out negotiating business and didn't expect that this guy had already joined Hengda.
Tan Cheng appears to be a refined and gentle person on the surface, but he is actually cunning, treacherous, vindictive, and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. He can be said to embody many of the traits of a villain. Li Ling, as a national warrior representing justice (Author's note: Haha), naturally despises this kind of scum.
"Ah Ling, let me introduce you." Mr. Yao pointed to Tan Cheng and introduced him to Li Ling: "This is Tan Cheng. He just joined the company. I think he will drive for you from now on. I have other arrangements for Da Biao."
Upon hearing this, Da Biao's eyes were filled with reluctance.
Li Ling frowned slightly: "Mr. Yao wants to change my driver? Da Biao has been doing quite well, I don't think it's necessary."
Mr. Yao put on a smile and reassured him, "It's like this. As you know, our company has an unwritten rule that new employees usually start as drivers. After gaining some experience, they can try to transport goods. Right now, the company is short-staffed. Da Biao has gained enough experience and should be able to work for the company."
"Damn it, what a joke." Li Ling cursed inwardly, but outwardly took a drag of his cigarette without making a sound.
There's never been such a rule for counterfeiters. The only reason Mr. Yao is trying to cover this up is that he wants to weaken Li Ling's power to some extent.
Da Biao was a subordinate Li Ling took in two years ago. He was not only highly skilled but also a man of few words. Over the years, whether it was transporting goods or negotiating deals, Li Ling had always kept him by his side, and he had long since become his confidant.
But at this very moment, Mr. Yao decided to replace Da Biao with Tan Cheng as his driver. This was partly to reduce Li Ling's manpower, and partly to place Tan Cheng there to keep an eye on him.
After all, Li Ling's rise over the past three years has been too rapid, which has already aroused Mr. Yao's suspicion. This is a trick of the art of using people.
Moreover, judging from the movie, Mr. Yao wanted to place his bets on Tan Cheng later on, since Tan Cheng was Mr. Yao's nephew, while Li Ling and Brother Ma were outsiders.
Mr. Yao's arrangement made Li Ling, who had been enjoying smooth sailing for the past two years, feel a sense of crisis.
After understanding this, Li Ling stopped insisting and acquiesced to Mr. Yao's meaning.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Mr. Yao's face flashed with joy. He immediately scolded Tan Cheng, who was standing next to him, "Cheng, from now on you will stay by A Ling's side and you must learn more from him. He is very loyal."
Tan Cheng quickly adopted a respectful demeanor and bowed slightly to Li Ling: "Yes, please take good care of me in the future, Brother Ling."
Then he respectfully said to Mr. Yao, "There are many things that Brother Ling can't learn."
"You little brat, keep pretending, keep pretending." Looking at the fake Tan Cheng, Li Ling exhaled a puff of smoke, a cold smile appearing on his lips.
Li Ling recognized the words he had just heard; they were exactly what Tan Cheng said to Brother Hao in the movie! And what was the final result?
As a result, Tan Cheng secretly set a trap to frame Hao Ge and send him to prison, thus successfully becoming the boss himself. After becoming the boss, he treated the lame Xiao Ma Ge like a piece of trash.
However, Li Ling wouldn't trust people as easily as Brother Hao. Tan Cheng wanted to climb over him to the top? Ha! He'd better be alive first!
Li Ling walked up to Tan Cheng, patted him on the shoulder, and said sincerely, "From now on, you'll work for me. I won't treat my brother badly."
Then, in his heart, he added another sentence: "I won't let those who betray their brothers get away with it either. You're dead!" (Wishing Star of All Realms)
