"Give me a break. I've heard that your circle is messy. It's no wonder Ye Xiaoli doesn't like you because you and your ex-wife are still going on and on. Anyone would want to mess with you. Don't you know that a good ex should be like they're dead, and a good ex-husband should be less happy than the other person?"
"What are you talking about?"
Huo Jingliang's eyes widened.
"Why should I live like I'm dead? Why should I be unhappy just because I messed around outside? I have money and ability, why can't I play around with women? In ancient times, this was considered normal social interaction. She's the one who's stuck in her own mind."
Wang Taiyi said disdainfully:
"It's not because you're reckless, but because you're incapable of getting your wife to accept your recklessness. To put it simply, you're not strong enough, or your ex-wife is too strong for you, a piece of trash, to handle."
"I…"
Huo Jingliang wanted to say something but seemed unable to refute it.
"Just tell me, do you still love your ex-wife?"
"I…"
Huo Jingliang stammered, clearly still harboring feelings for his ex-wife.
Wang Taiyi became interested.
"Old Huo, just say the word, and I'll definitely help you win your ex-wife back. I have tons of experience; I'm a pro at everything from the 'wife-chasing-after-the-cremation' scenario to using a substitute 'white moonlight' and ruining your current partner for your first love... I'm a pro at it all."
Wang Taiyi gets excited when he talks about this.
"Old Huo, do you know Liu Ruyan? No? What about Shen Youchu? Ji Boda and He Qiang? No? Let me tell you, they are all relationship experts like me. Any one of them can help you win back your ex-wife, not to mention me personally. I am the master of thousands of tragic novels. What is Ye Xiaoli? I can take back not only his wife but also his mother for you."
Wang Taiyi watched Huo Jingliang excitedly. How interesting it was to help Old Huo snatch Ye Xiaoli's wife!
"How about it, Lao Huo? Need any help?"
Huo Jingliang was momentarily dazed and almost agreed.
"What nonsense are you spouting? Do I, Huo Jingliang, need anyone's help to pursue a woman? A good horse doesn't turn back to the grass it once grazed, and neither does a good man."
Wang Taiyi curled his lip.
"Last week, a gossip magazine even secretly photographed you having dinner with your ex-wife. Speaking of which, you old man, you're still quite the ladies' man at your age, going after women from 18 to 58."
"I may be old, but I'm not old at all, pshaw! Why would I tell you that? We were talking about our daughter, I'm here to talk to you about something serious."
Wang Taiyi rolled his eyes at him.
"I should have said that a long time ago. Why are you talking nonsense with me so early in the morning?"
"..."
Huo Jingliang composed himself.
"God bless!"
The younger brother, Tianyou, took a document out of his briefcase and handed it to Huo Jingliang.
Huo Jingliang threw the documents on the coffee table in front of Wang Taiyi.
“I’ve heard about the competition that Hongxing is organizing. I think it’s great. I want to invest and sponsor it.”
"What a great thing! They've come to my door on their own initiative? You never do anything without a reason."
Wang Taiyi looked at Huo Jingliang suspiciously, tore a piece of paper from the document, and wiped the oil off his hands.
Huo Jingliang twitched his lips.
"Okay, let me tell you. I think your event has great potential if it's done well, so I want to get involved. You know, the top guy in Hong Kong is very passionate about sports. If I can get in touch with him, I'll definitely be able to rise to the next level."
Wang Taiyi thought for a moment and then knew which one Huo Jingliang was referring to.
"Old Huo, you're already so rich, you'll have more money than you can spend in this life or the next, why are you still working so hard?"
Huo Jingliang, puffing on his cigar, thought for a moment and said seriously:
"Because I'm bored. It's boring to just sit around and enjoy myself all the time."
Huo Jingliang looked at Wang Taiyi, who was rolling her eyes wildly:
"Don't you believe me? I'm serious. If a person doesn't do something, they'll really be useless. You have to find something to do. Once you've earned a certain amount of money, you start asking for other things, like fame and status. Besides, if you don't keep improving, someone will always try to get you. Pshaw, you wouldn't understand even if I told you."
Wang Taiyi patted his belly.
"Then why are you saying so much? Just tell me what you want and what you can give me."
"They're all in the documents."
"I'm too lazy to look."
"..."
Huo Jingliang looked at Wang Taiyi helplessly and said:
"To put it simply, I'll offer 50 million plus help you resolve the official issues. I want the exclusive naming rights."
Wang Taiyi said disdainfully:
"Only 5 million? That's a bit low. Do you know that the prize money is already in the hundreds of millions?"
Huo Jingliang looked at him as if he were an idiot.
"The important thing is whether the authorities are good or not. If the authorities don't agree, you can't get anything done, okay? Getting things done with them is worth a hundred million. Also, do you think that prize money you raised is yours to spend as you please? You don't have to pay taxes or give money to those foreigners?"
Wang Taiyi said lazily.
"Okay, fine, but don't blame me if someone offers you a higher price later."
"Hmph, who can compete with me? Fine, it's settled then!"
"Alright, by the way, Lao Huo, aren't you going to arrange for a contestant to participate? The prize money is several hundred million."
Huo Jingliang thought for a moment.
"We'll see. Don't I make more money betting on the sidelines? Anyway, betting on your Hung Hing will definitely make me money."
"Damn, you're really smart. I had forgotten about betting on the outside."
......
Chapter 189 Han Bin's Troubles
Hung Hing has been incredibly busy from top to bottom lately. Even Wang Taiyi, that lazybones, has to hold meetings every day. Of course, he's there to have fun, since everyone in Hung Hing is talented, eloquent, and unreliable.
"Let me tell you, I secured 300,000 in sponsorship. During the competition at Dafugui Nightclub, all drinks consumed there will be 20% off."
Brother Ji sat in the chair and spat out a torrent of saliva.
Dafei glanced at Brother Ji with disdain.
"What's so special about that? I not only secured a million-dollar sponsorship on this counterfeit goods street, but they also provided contestants with underwear and sneakers during the competition."
“I borrowed 80 from Xinji Knife Shop and provided knives for the competition.”
"Pshaw, I made 90 in Paper Craft Street and provided a one-stop service for dead people's sparks."
"Trash. I've already made arrangements with all the loan sharks in Tsim Sha Tsui. Not only will I receive a 2 million HKD sponsorship, but all loans during this period will be repaid at a rate of 90% to 125%."
“Poland Street will sponsor a million dollars, and all stables will receive a 100% discount.”
"..."
"good, very good."
Jiang Tianyang clapped his hands to encourage everyone.
"You are all my hidden dragons and phoenix chicks."
However, a few people remained silent, so Jiang Tianyang asked them:
"Han Bin, don't you have any sponsors? Why do you look so pale?"
Han Bin, whose face looked unwell, said:
"Nothing much, Mr. Jiang. I personally donated five million."
"hiss....."
Everyone gasped in astonishment; no wonder they were among the top three on the Hung Hing wealth list.
Wang Taiyi, who was lying on the table, glanced at Han Bin, who had a sour face, and sensed that something was wrong.
Hearing Han Bin's words, Jiang Tianyang nodded. He didn't care whether you got sponsorships or paid for it yourself, as long as the money was there, you were a good employee.
"Hao Nan, what about you?"
Jiang Tianyang glanced at Chen Haonan, who had been posing without saying a word.
Chan Ho-nam stroked his long hair and said casually:
"Mr. Jiang, I've secured 1000 million in sponsorship..."
Seeing the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, Chen Haonan became even more smug. Hehe, when the time is right, everything works in his favor. When luck comes, you can't stop it. Can you believe that a big water piper is delivering money to your door? Sure enough, I am the chosen one.
"Ms. Tang's Real Estate is sponsoring ten million yuan for exclusive naming rights."
Chan Ho-nam smiled at Wong Tai-yat.
