Chapter: 2991
Hong Wu felt very grateful when he heard this news. In the past, making money had been relatively easy for him. With his unique skills and various connections, he earned a lot each year by playing the side ball. However, in recent years, his income had dropped significantly. Many of the once-profitable ventures were no longer viable, and he found himself struggling financially.
Despite his decline in income, Hong Wu had many disciples to support. Their living expenses continued to rise as prices went up, which added to his financial strain. Although he appeared successful on the outside, he was actually feeling quite stretched.
When Charlie Wade offered to hand over all the supply business of the Ocean Shipping Group to Hong Wu, it felt like a lifeline. The potential profits from this deal would be a tremendous help for him.
Moved by the gesture, Hong Wu bowed and said, “Thank you, Master Ye, for your support!”
Charlie Wade smiled and replied, “You don’t need to be so formal between us.”
He then added, “I will give you He Zhiqiu’s contact information later, so you can discuss future business directly with her.”
Suddenly remembering something else, Charlie continued, “You’ll need to work with some local people as well. There are likely many influential figures in the area. You should arrange for some of your younger brothers to assist He Zhiqiu with things she might find difficult. I’d like to treat this business as a security operation that you manage, and the profit margin should be good. I’ll also arrange for one or two masters from the He family to help you out.”
Hong Wu quickly responded:
“Master Ye, you can trust me. I will do everything I can to keep the terminal running smoothly!”
“Great!” Charlie Wade replied, pleased. “Then make sure to start planning as soon as you get back. Talk to He Zhiqiu and find out what you need to prepare and get ready.”
Charlie then checked the time, stretched his arms, and turned to Hong Wu and Chen Zekai. “Alright, let’s wrap it up for today. You both have worked hard. The concert for Nannan is in two days, so keep an eye on things in Jinling. If any trouble comes up, let me know right away.”
Chen Zekai quickly spoke up, “Master, Su Zhifei from the Su family has been focused on Ms. Gu’s concert lately. He’s been very polite and even came to me to rent the biggest billboard here. I’m not worried about him, but I think he might have some plans for the concert day. Should we deal with him now?”
Charlie chuckled slightly and said, “Su Zhifei is probably just interested in Nannan. It’s natural to have a crush. As long as he doesn’t try to step on my toes like Zhong Tianyu did, we can ignore him.”
Chen Zekai replied seriously, “Master, I really believe Su Zhifei could become a problem in the future. It might be better to address him now rather than wait for issues later.”
Then, Chen Zekai suddenly had an idea and said excitedly, “Master, why don’t we send him to Syria too? He could have some company there!”
Charlie laughed and replied, “Are you getting addicted to sending people to Syria?”
Chen Zekai grinned and said,
“It’s not true. The real reason is that the kid has bad intentions towards Miss Gu and wants to take him to Syria for good,” said Charlie Wade, waving his hand. “I want to work with Su Zhiyu now. This partnership isn’t official yet. If I send her brother to Syria, how can we work together in the future?”
Chen Zekai replied, “Master, you sent her dad to Syria. Didn’t she say anything about that?”
