Siheyuan: How many worlds does the system integrate?

The task that Li Xuewu entrusted was not a difficult one.

For a native Hong Konger like Chen Hu, who has so many people under him, it is not difficult to find someone. It is just a matter of spending a little more time. As for finding banks and auction houses, it is even simpler. Hong Kong's famous banks such as Standard Chartered, HSBC, Citibank and auction houses such as Sotheby's and Christie's all have clear addresses.

Even if Chen Hu wants to find connections inside, he still doesn't have that ability. He might need his boss to step in. If he just contacts them and asks them to send a few salesmen over, it would be much easier.

Therefore, Chen Hu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Mr. Li, can I ask you something? What is it that you want to sell? Don't get me wrong. If it's an ordinary item, I can just ask an employee to come over. But if it's something particularly valuable, my boss may need to contact their higher-ups!"

Li Xuewu thought for a while and shook his head, "Don't bother your boss for now, just contact them to send a staff member with a little position over here. What I'm selling is not expensive, just a few pieces of jewelry and porcelain, not worth too much money!"

"Okay, that's easy. I'll send their people to look for you tomorrow!"

"Well, I'm staying at the Peninsula Hotel now. Just ask them to come find Ah Hua tomorrow!"

"No problem. Mr. Li, who are you looking for?"

Li Xuewu picked up the wine glass and took a sip. "I'm looking for a family. Their surname is Lou. The old man is Lou Zhenhua, who is over 70 years old and a businessman. There should be seven or eight people in his family. He has a daughter named Lou Xiao'e, who is about 40 years old this year and moved to Hong Kong in 67. Please help me find them!"

"This is easy. It will be easy if we have a name and a surname. It will take ten days. I will give you news in ten days!" Chen Hu promised, patting his chest.

Of course, you can't ask someone to do something for nothing. Li Xuewu opened his bag, reached out and took out 10,000 Hong Kong dollars from it and put it on the table: "You have mobilized so many brothers to help me find someone. This money is first regarded as tea money for the brothers. When I find the person, I will reward you handsomely!"

He is a very particular person, Chen Hu thought to himself.

She raised her glass and clinked it with Li Xuewu's: "Don't worry, Mr. Li, your business is my business, and I will definitely get it done. Now that we have finished talking about this matter, let's relax. Girl, don't just stand there, have a drink with Mr. Li!"

The girl sitting next to Li Xuewu put her arm around his and leaned forward, holding a glass of wine: "Boss, let me toast you!"

"Okay, come on, my little sister is so beautiful, where are you from?"

"I'm from Hong Kong!" the girl answered in unauthentic Cantonese.

Li Xuewu smiled but said nothing. There was no need to take such a casual act seriously.

Li Xuewu drank generously on purpose until the glass was dry. In fact, most of the wine went into his own space. One should not have the intention to harm others, but one must be on guard against others. Although he looked enthusiastic towards this person he just met, he was actually on guard.

Li Xuewu also wanted to see if Chen Hu was someone he could get along with. If so, he could let him handle some of his affairs in Hong Kong. Anyway, now he just needed to cast a wide net and catch more fish.

Therefore, in the second half of the drinking party, Li Xuewu pretended to be drunk. His tongue became bigger, his body became crooked, and he leaned on the girl next to him and almost fell asleep.

Seeing that Li Xuewu fell asleep, a younger brother ran over and looked through Li Xuewu's bag.

After opening it, he said in surprise: "Brother Hu, this is a fat sheep. There are more than 100,000 Hong Kong dollars in the bag! Do we want it?" Then he made a gesture to take it away.

Unexpectedly, Chen Hu threw a glass of wine over and said, "Get lost! We are not thieves. If we are brothers, don't do such despicable things to me. If you dare to reach out, don't blame me for being rude!"

The younger brother suddenly came to his senses: "I know, Brother Tiger, I was wrong!"

"Well, I understand. All right, you guys go send Mr. Li and Ah Hua back to the hotel. As for Ah Fang, whether you can make money is up to you!"

"Thank you, Brother Hu. I will serve Boss Li well!" said the pretty girl who was supporting Li Xuewu in a delicate voice.

Li Xuewu squinted his eyes, pricked up his ears to listen to the conversation of several people, and nodded in his heart. He thought that this Ah Hu was not bad. If his ability to do things was good, he could be recruited for his own use.

After returning to the hotel, several of Chen Hu's henchmen sent Li Xuewu to the room and left. Only Li Xuewu and Afang were left in the room. Afang was standing in front of the window, looking at the night view outside and sighing. Li Xuewu, who was lying on the bed, turned over and sat up.

Ah Fang was startled by the noise behind her. She turned around and saw Li Xuewu sitting on the bed looking at her: "Hey, Boss, you're awake!"

"Your name is Afang? How old are you?"

"20 years old!"

"Why do you do this at such a young age?"

This is really the same rhetoric now and in the future, what with an alcoholic father, a gambling mother, and a bunch of younger brothers and sisters to support at home. Just listening to Li Xuewu, he could tell what she was going to say next.

Looking at Li Xuewu's expressionless face, Afang thought that Li Xuewu didn't want to listen to this, so she quickly stopped talking: "Boss, you must be tired, I'll go run you a bath!"

Li Xuewu shook his head: "No thanks!" Then he reached for the bag, took out a stack of Hong Kong dollars from it, and put it on the table: "I'm tired and want to rest. You should go home and rest too!"

Ah Fang was very surprised: "Boss, don't you want me to accompany you?"

"Well, no thanks!"

Afang, who was somewhat shocked, opened her mouth but didn't say anything. Then she picked up the money on the table and bowed to Li Xuewu: "Okay, boss, I'll go back now, you go to bed early!"

As the door closed, Li Xuewu stood up, took a cigarette and lit it, walked to the window and stood still, looking at the lights of the thousands of houses: "I don't know when I can find her."

The next morning, after getting up and taking a shower, Li Xuewu ordered a breakfast to be delivered to his room.

After that, we waited for the bank and auction house staff that Ah Hu had found to arrive. Unexpectedly, we had to wait until the afternoon before Ah Hua came up and knocked on the door.

Come to think of it, it's impossible to expect people like Chen Hu to get up in the morning to work. They play in the nightclub so late at night, so they have to catch up on some sleep at home in the morning. Li Xuewu was really stupid of himself.

After Ah Hua entered the room, he said, "Boss, the people from Standard Chartered Bank are here. Do you want to let them in now?"

"Please let them in!" Li Xuewu nodded.

The two employees from Standard Chartered Bank were a man and a woman. It seemed that the female employee was the main one. After coming in, she said to Li Xuewu very respectfully: "Hello, Mr. Li, I am Huang Jiawen, a senior employee of Standard Chartered Bank, and this is my colleague Lin Li!"

"Please take a seat, both of you. What would you like to drink? Coffee or tea?"

"Coffee, thank you!"

Li Xuewu motioned Ah Hua to get ready, and then he got straight to the point: "I won't be staying in Hong Kong for a long time this time, so there are some things that need to be handled quickly. I invited you here because I want to choose a cooperation partner from among several banks in Hong Kong."
