"Chen Baiqiang?!"

It seemed that he had heard this name somewhere, but Ye Fang's short-term thinking short-circuit still prevented Ye Fang from quickly remembering to associate this name with a certain person.

"He has been gone for seven years. I know you are not him, but there is some similarity between your eyebrows." He Chaoqiong said in a heavy tone.

"Chen Baiqiang!" Ye Fang's mind flashed like electricity, and he suddenly remembered who this person was. He was the first-generation idol superstar in Hong Kong in the 80s and [-]s. Legend has it that he had a touching and beautiful love story with Miss He Chaoqiong of the He family. Later, the two could not be together due to their status gap. He Chaoqiong married Xu Jinheng, the heir to the wealthy Hui family in Hong Kong, under the control of his family, but Chen Baiqiang eventually died of illness. It is said that He Chaoqiong supported Chen Baiqiang and sent her lover on his last journey, regardless of the opposition of the world.

Wait, Xu Jinheng? Ye Fang suddenly remembered that the man in white who slapped his head with leftover food in the hotel restaurant at night seemed to be named Xu Jinheng.

"Fuck, it's not such a coincidence, is it?" Ye Fang thought to himself.

"Is your current husband Xu Jinheng?" Ye Fang asked tentatively.

"Him?!" He Chaoqiong snorted coldly and said, "We have been separated for several years, and we are planning to divorce this year. Originally, marrying him was in the family interest, but now we can break up after using each other."

"Is it really him?" Ye Fang murmured.

"What, have you seen him?" He Chaoqiong asked.

"Yes." Ye Fang nodded and told He Chaoqiong about the dinner. After hearing this, He Chaoqiong burst into laughter and said happily, "Well done! This guy is like a dog and can't change his habit of eating shit."

"I heard that he also came here to gamble?" Ye Fang asked tentatively.

When He Chaoqiong heard Ye Fang's words, he did not answer directly. Instead, he looked at Ye Fang thoughtfully and asked, "Are you also interested in competing for gambling cards?"

"How did you tell?" Ye Fang asked in surprise.

"It's just intuition." He Chaoqiong smiled sweetly and continued, "No one is qualified to compete for gambling licenses. I know several companies that are interested in competing for gambling licenses, but I didn't expect that there would be yours. Are you just making it up temporarily? Did you have a plan in advance?"

It’s not right to say that Ye Fang had an impromptu idea, nor is it accurate to say that he had premeditated it. Ye Fang knew that He Chaoqiong’s business qualifications were far above his own. Although the He family’s business centers were all in Haojiang, other industries at that time had spread all over the world, and their supply Chain companies are as numerous as stars. The He family has a profound background in running shopping malls for many years, which is far beyond what Ye Fang can compare with now.

"Now we just have a preliminary plan." Ye Fang said casually.

"Okay, if you need help from the He family, just ask me. The He family apologizes to you for what happened today." After saying that, He Chaoqiong took out one of his business cards and handed it to Ye Fang. The lingering warmth and fragrance of He Chaoqiong's hand still remained, but Ye Fang also felt He Chaoqiong's atmosphere.

"Anything? Including gambling licenses?" Ye Fang knew that the He family and the Huo family would jointly participate in the competition for gambling licenses this year, striving to ensure that the existing expired gambling licenses would not be lost.

He Chaoqiong nodded and said confidently, "Although three gambling cards were issued this year, only two were actually issued at that time, because one of them must belong to the He family."

"Why?" Ye Fang asked.

"Because only the He family is a local enterprise in Haojiang, and they are sincerely serving the local residents of Haojiang. As for the other families, they are just vampires who want to steal money. If you were the SAR government, who would you give it to, who is your biological child, and who is Come to rob the family property, do you need to consider this?" He Chaoqiong said.

Ye Fang thought about it carefully and it was true. No matter how the gambling cards were distributed, He would definitely get one. However, the bidding process still had to go through, and it had to be done so that no one could speak.

He Chaoqiong looked at Ye Fang and said loudly, "I have a fate with you. From now on, you can call me Sister Qiong. In this area of ​​Haojiang, Sister Qiong's words are still useful."

Ye Fang naturally wished that he could pick up such a sister worth hundreds of billions for nothing. He smiled and said, "I listen to Sister Qiong. If I have something to do, I won't look for anyone else."

"Okay, now that you recognize me as your sister, tell me about your situation." He Chaoqiong said with a smile.

Then Ye Fang briefly introduced himself and his company. Ye Fang also told He Chaoqiong everything he could say to the outside world. As for what should be kept, Ye Fang chose to hide it when he didn't really see He Chaoqiong's kindness to him. Even this made He Chaoqiong look at Ye Fang with admiration. The accumulation of such wealth in such a short period of time really made He Chaoqiong look at Ye Fang in a new light. He Chaoqiong couldn't imagine what it would be like if Ye Fang was given another ten or eight years.

If it was the talent of her lover Chen Baiqiang that attracted He Chaoqiong before, then now Ye Fang's super trading ability is enough to make He Chaoqiong want to win over and make friends. What's more, Ye Fang's eyebrows are so similar to those of his lost lover Chen Baiqiang. , also gave He Chaoqiong an alternative emotional sustenance for Ye Fang. At this time, Ye Fang also understood why He Jiu had a strange look when he saw him for the first time. It was all because of Chen Baiqiang.

"Am I really similar to Chen Baiqiang?" Ye Fang felt that he would have to find an opportunity to compare in the future.

Soon the convoy arrived at the Lisboa Casino. He Chaoqiong's special car arrived at the Lisboa Casino late at night. This had never happened before. He Chaoqiong, the heir to the He Group, was like an ancient emperor. Shen Congwen got up from bed overnight and took a group of company executives with him. Meet at the door.

The moment He Chaoqiong stepped out of the Rolls-Royce, his face immediately turned cold. The difference between the inside and outside of the car stunned Ye Fang who got out of the car.

When Shen Congwen and Quan Yongan saw Ye Fang and He Chaoqiong getting out of the car together, their faces turned pale. They never expected that Ye Fang would arrive with He Chaoqiong. The two looked at each other as if they were asking what was going on. , only Quan Yongan had a hint of guilt in his heart.

Ye Fang asked Leng Chuan to send Miao Qianqian back to the guest room, while he led Su Long and followed He Chaoqiong into the casino.

"Hello, Miss!" Shen Congwen shouted respectfully.

Unexpectedly, He Chaoqiong didn't even look at Shen Congwen, but walked directly in front of him. This made Shen Congwen feel like he was in danger. He hurriedly followed him into the casino in three steps, then two steps, until he came to He's house. in the gambling hall.

Walking into the He Family Casino, which is also the office of Shen Congwen Casino, the bodyguard brought a seat to He Chaoqiong. He Chaoqiong sat down firmly, and the bodyguard stood behind with a serious face.

Ye Fang sat on the sofa nearby with a smile on his face, looking at He Chaoqiong who looked like a queen descending.

"I wonder if there is anything important for Miss He to come to the casino so late?" Shen Congwen still thinks that it was the fact that the casino lost [-] million in a gambling game tonight that alarmed He Chaoqiong. Otherwise, He Chaoqiong, who has always been reclusive, would rarely come here. To the casino. At that time, Shen Congwen couldn't figure out why He Chaoqiong came with Ye Fang. Shen Congwen couldn't understand this mysterious operation.

"Brother Wen, my father gave Macao Entertainment to you because he wanted you to be prudent, well-organized, and responsible. But what happened tonight made me very disappointed. I hope you can give me an explanation." He Chaoqiong said coldly. .

Shen Congwen looked up at Ye Fang and saw Ye Fang looking at him calmly. He couldn't see why He Chaoqiong was so angry now. At this time, He Chaoqiong waved the bodyguard and handed Ye Fang's camera to Shen Congwen. Shen Congwen turned on the camera with some confusion. When he saw the content, his expression changed. Then he couldn't control his anger and hit Quan Yongan's head with the camera. He shouted, "It's all your fault! It's your own fault!"

Quan Yong'an's head was smashed so hard that blood flowed. He quickly stepped aside and defended, "Brother Wen, I am doing this for the benefit of the company."

"What a fart. If the casino knows that we can't afford to win, no one will dare to play in the future! You bastard!" As he spoke, Shen Congwen kicked Quan Yongan one after another, making veins on Shen Congwen's forehead suddenly appear in anger.

"Okay." He Chaoqiong raised his hand to stop Shen Congwen and continued, "I believe this matter has nothing to do with Brother Wen, but after all, you are lax and employ people inappropriately. Mr. Ye went to find me directly today. If He complained directly to the relevant departments, do you think my He family’s casino can still be opened?”

"Yes, Miss He is right to criticize. This matter is my fault!" Beads of sweat broke out on Shen Congwen's forehead.

"He!" He Chaoqiong pointed at Quan Yongan and said coldly, "Get on the plane and leave Lisboa immediately. I don't want to see him again in Haojiang in the future. Get out now!"

"Yes." Shen Congwen called over a few of his men and took Quan Yongan away and put him on the plane overnight and left Haojiang.

"Brother Wen, as for you!" He Chaoqiong deliberately paused and looked at Shen Congwen, and said, "After all, you were brought up by my father. I don't want people to say that I will replace the old minister when I take over Lisboa. This will chill the hearts of others. But Without punishing you, I also have no way to give Mr. Ye an explanation. First, you must apologize to Mr. Ye, and second, cancel your bonus at the end of this year. Do you accept it?"

"I accept! Thank you, Miss He! I am willing to accept the punishment!" Shen Congwen gritted his teeth and said solemnly. Compared with losing his position as the general manager of Lisboa, the tens of millions of bonuses at the end of the year are nothing, but it is still painful for Shen Congwen. .

"This Quan Yong'an bastard! I want you to leave Haojiang alive. I wrote the word "Chen" backwards!" Thinking of this, Shen Congwen hurriedly came to Ye Fang, solemnly apologized to Ye Fang, and promised that Ye Fang would be Lisboa from now on. For the hotel’s super VIP customers, all hotel purchases are free of charge, and chips under one million can be redeemed for free. Shen Congwen could tell that He Chaoqiong was going to stand up for Ye Fang this time, otherwise he would never come to the casino to solve the matter in person. No matter how big the matter was, he could just call himself.

Why is this? Shen Congwen observed Ye Fang for the first time at this time. Originally, he had not looked at Ye Fang directly, but when he looked at Ye Fang carefully, he and He Jiu discovered a fact at a glance. Is it because of this reason?

A woman's heart is like a needle in the sea, it is really elusive. Shen Congwen has made up his mind to be more polite to Ye Fang in the future. He is the only man who can influence He Chaoqiong's thoughts now, comparable to his father He Hongsheng.

"Brother Wen, clean up my room. I won't go back to my old house today." Shen Congwen knew that this was He Chaoqiong's signal that he could leave. After agreeing, Shen Congwen quietly left.

"Are you satisfied with this solution?" He Chaoqiong turned to look at Ye Fang with a smile and asked. This smile was so lethal that even though Ye Fang's mind was strong, he couldn't help but tremble slightly. At this time, Ye Fang didn't understand why Xu Jinheng, a playboy, would go out and fool around with He Chaoqiong. Although the two of them had no real feelings for each other, they would never be able to bear fruit if they cultivated slowly, or maybe it was He Chaoqiong's only emotion for men. Already disappeared with Chen Baiqiang.

The discounts Shen Congwen gave him were better than nothing to Ye Fang. In the eyes of ordinary people, they were an astronomical figure, but in Ye Fang's eyes, they only represented Shen Congwen's sincerity.

"Sister Qiong, the fact that you can resolve this matter in person shows your sincerity. Let's just forget about it." Ye Fang stood up and said.

"The matter is settled, come and have a drink with me." He Chaoqiong invited.

At this time, the most taboo thing for men is to say no, so Ye Fang readily agreed.

After walking out of the He Family Casino, Shen Congwen was waiting quietly outside the door and told He Chaoqiong that the room had been tidied up. He Chaoqiong told Shen Congwen that he could go back, and Su Long and He Chaoqiong's bodyguards followed the two from a distance. He Chaoqiong's room is a special place in the Lisboa Hotel. It is not in the building, but on the roof of the Lisboa Hotel. It is a white villa.

The villa is not big, but it has all the necessary functions. There is even an outdoor swimming pool and a helicopter landing pad on the roof. He Chaoqiong has not been to this place for a long time, but the maids clean it every day, and the water in the swimming pool is changed every day, always keeping it in the cleanest condition.

Su Long and He Chaoqiong's bodyguards did not follow them to the top of the building. There was a special room for resting next to the elevator. The two of them stayed in this room and were on duty. At the same time, both sides of the entire floor were blocked off to ensure that there would be no idlers waiting. Break in with permission.

Ye Fang lamented that the luxury of rich people sometimes exceeded his imagination. Although he was also very rich, his spending in this area was definitely not on the same level as He Chaoqiong.

It is already late at night, and someone has placed simple food and a bottle of the world's top red wine worth hundreds of thousands of dollars on the dining table on the roof. He Chaoqiong put on a simple dress that showed off her graceful figure and invited Ye Fang to sit down. The two of them drank red wine and chatted about the past like old friends under the stars. At this time, Ye Fang gradually let down his guard and chatted with He Chaoqiong. From the chat, Ye Fang could tell that there were too few people who could chat with He Chaoqiong now. The desire for a confidant in his words made He Chaoqiong very relaxed.

Ye Fang can understand her mentality very well. After all, according to He Chaoqiong's current status, not everyone is qualified to talk to her. All the people around her ask for help from him and obey her.

Red wine acted as a good blender at this time. He Chaoqiong talked about Chen Baiqiang, and the conversation became so affectionate that she fell into Ye Fang's arms and burst into tears. Ye Fang also talked about Xiaozhuang. Their emotional experiences were so similar. They lost their lover when their relationship was at its strongest. This similar experience was enough to resonate with their hearts.

Under the starlight, against the backdrop of the red wine glass, the two people got closer and closer, and under the influence of alcohol, the last line of defense between the two people was completely destroyed...
