"We must be extremely careful at this banquet. The other side is coming on strong, and if we make a mistake, we may suffer heavy losses."

When Chen Xijiu made arrangements, he took everything into account.

Ah Long also made sure to find out everything else about the banquet, just in case something went wrong.

As he straightened his suit, Chen Xijiu frowned, as if he had long anticipated that this moment would be of paramount importance to him.

“Our real estate business is just getting started, and the situation on Hong Kong Island is still unclear. Li Ze has already invited us to this banquet, so it seems he was prepared long ago.”

Chen Xijiu was extremely careful in understanding the situation, and he was determined not to give others any more advantages.

Having finally established himself on Hong Kong Island, he naturally wouldn't give anyone any opportunity to take advantage of him.

Upon hearing his words, Chen Xijiu was filled with respect.

While Ah Long was tidying up Chen Xi Jiu's clothes, he also told Chen Xi Jiu exactly what they had seen on Li Ze's side.

In fact, Li Ze is not an easy person to get along with, which was clearly noticeable during the investigation.

The opponent had already set a trap for Chan Sai-kau. If this matter were investigated, Hong Kong's status would immediately be compromised.

Chen Xijiu will also become the target of public criticism, which will be a new challenge for them.

"This banquet is clearly intended to embarrass the host, but we don't yet know what methods Li Ze will use."

Ah Long looked at Chen Xi Jiu with some worry, fearing that Chen Xi Jiu would be harassed after attending the banquet.

Unexpectedly, Chen Xijiu remained completely calm.

Looking at his confident self in the mirror, he thought about how Li Ze and he were rivals in the business world, and realized that a head-on confrontation this time was not necessarily a bad thing.

"Elena has already made arrangements, and she will be attending this banquet."

"When he makes his choice, I think the prominent figures in Hong Kong will naturally understand which side they should stand on."

Chen Xijiu's words made Ah Long look at Chen Xijiu with new respect. He really didn't expect that Chen Xijiu had already made preparations.

This was completely contrary to what they had previously thought.

If Chen Xijiu can withstand the pressure at this banquet, he will naturally have a place in the real estate business.

"Master, everything is ready. We will take you there in a little over an hour before the party."

Chen Xijiu nodded gently and followed A Long downstairs.

As he sat in the car on his way to the banquet hall, Chan Sai-gau was still filled with worry. No one knew better than him just how difficult it was to do real estate business on Hong Kong Island.

Since I'm going to make a living from this, I will never stand idly by.

Meanwhile, everyone at the banquet was already buzzing with discussion, knowing that Li Ze had actually invited Chen Xijiu this time.

"Isn't Chan Sai-gau the Abalone Detective who followed Brother Lok back then? Now I hear that his status in Hong Kong Island is indeed second to none, and he can be considered to have gotten a share of the pie by following in the footsteps of the Governor."

“That’s right. If he wanted to oppose us now, it would be a huge challenge. He doesn’t have the strength.”

"If he wants to get involved in the Hong Kong Island real estate business now, we absolutely cannot be polite."

People had already started talking about it; Chen Xijiu hadn't even arrived yet, but he had already become the center of attention.

Li Ze observed everything from the shadows. He was confident of victory this time and had long regarded Chen Xijiu as a thorn in his side.

When Chen Xijiu appeared at the banquet, Wang Dachui quickly began to explain, while Li Ze looked at Chen Xijiu with serious eyes.

"The boss is Chen Xijiu. He has now entered the real estate industry. I heard he has a lot of funds and the land he has his eye on is exactly the same as the one we prepared before."

Wang Dachui told Li Ze that the piece of land they were looking at in the suburbs was now also being eyed by Chen Xijiu.

Both sides have started to drive up the price. If Li Zeruo wants to get that piece of land, he must first get rid of Chen Xijiu.

Otherwise, if the prices are inflated, they will suffer significant losses.

"I really need to meet Chen Xijiu. I want to see just how capable this guy is. If he wants to oppose me, he should see if he's qualified."

As Li Ze spoke, he slowly stood up, holding a champagne glass in his hand, and walked towards Chen Xijiu.

When Chen Xijiu entered the banquet hall, he noticed that everyone was looking at him with considerable consideration.

He did not react in any way; on the contrary, he remained very calm.

Upon seeing Li Ze, Chen Xijiu immediately felt a deep sense of respect.

Li Ze slowly walked towards me, holding the champagne in his hand.

Chen Xijiu immediately took a glass of red wine from the waiter, and when Li Ze and Chen Xijiu clinked glasses, Chen Xijiu already had a warm smile on his face.

"So it's President Chen. I'm so sorry for not greeting you properly."

"I heard that you've started to have your own insights into the real estate business. I wonder if we can make some preparations for business together in the future."

Li Ze didn't hide anything and went straight to the point, starting to consider some details of the current business.

Chen Xijiu smiled slightly upon hearing Li Ze's words.

"So this is the way you were thinking. It won't have too much of an impact on us, but we didn't expect that this considerable amount of business would put some pressure on you."

Chen Xijiu was also determined to succeed in the real estate business.

Therefore, even if Li Ze wanted to put pressure on him, it would be impossible.

The conversation between Li Ze and Chen Xijiu was quickly overheard by several business partners nearby. When investing in Hong Kong, they also valued the strength of their business partners.

With the Governor of Hong Kong as his backer and billions of dollars in investment at his disposal, it would be a piece of cake for Chan Sai-kau to venture into the real estate business on Hong Kong Island.

"I didn't expect Chen Xijiu to have so many insights into the real estate business. It seems that Li Ze has indeed found a worthy opponent."

···Requesting flowers·············

“When Chan Sai Kau was making more investments, he closed all of his casinos. The Governor was naturally pleased with such sincerity.”

"But now that I think about it, if we continue to invest in real estate, we will inevitably have to compete with Chen Xijiu."

Amidst the barbed words of the crowd, Chen Xijiu launched a frenzied threat.

Chen Xijiu didn't care at all about how much he had saved the day; he was extremely devout, even when faced with the teasing of the crowd at the banquet.

He never took it to heart.

Li Ze deeply resented Chen Xijiu. Chen Xijiu always acted so confidently, which made Li Ze seem impatient.

"The Governor of Hong Kong is coming soon. Clear this place as soon as possible, so that he doesn't think we've done a bad job hosting this banquet."

Li Ze didn't want to dwell on this matter either.

He could tell that Chen Xijiu had come with a menacing air this time, and he didn't want to confront Chen Xijiu at the banquet again.

However, to his surprise, Chen Xijiu had already chosen to take the initiative.

Chen Xijiu could hear every single word of the conversation at the banquet.

When the Governor of Hong Kong brought Elena to the banquet, everyone's eyes immediately turned to her.

Elena wore a long red dress that perfectly accentuated her shapely figure, and her eyes and brows were as captivating as a lush flower.

As soon as Li Ze saw Elena, he quickly went up to greet her.

"Miss Elena, I didn't expect you to actually come today. I've asked you several times before, but you wouldn't even grant me an invitation."

His fondness for Elena "953" did not diminish in the slightest, but Elena frowned slightly when she saw him.

The Governor and several other business partners had already gone to the side to discuss the matter, leaving only Elena and Li Ze to talk about the police station issue.

However, Elena completely disregarded Li Ze's advances.

"There's not much between us. I just wanted to give you face by attending this banquet. Don't overthink it."

Elena's painting made Li Ze feel a little embarrassed, while his eyes searched for Chen Xijiu in the crowd.

As expected, Elena quickly spotted Chen Xijiu's location, and a smile immediately appeared on her face as she walked towards him.

Li Ze was furious, but it was no use.

The Governor of Hong Kong gave Chan Sai Kau a lot of face. As long as Elena walked up to Chan Sai Kau, Chan Sai Kau would definitely become the focus of everyone's attention.

As expected, those unusual gazes were already fixed on Chen Xijiu, and Elena ran towards Chen Xijiu.

"How come you're here at this banquet? I was hoping my father would let you make an appearance at the family banquet, but I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly."

The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) was about to be launched, and the Governor of Hong Kong, who was never one to make mistakes, thought he could announce the official launch of the ICAC at a banquet.

The banquet still needs some time to prepare.

Elena had been missing Chen Xijiu so much these past few days that her bones ached. Chen Xijiu gently pulled Elena into his arms, and the two sat together.

"The real estate business is not easy to do now. Since Mr. Li has invited me, I came over to say hello. I hope to do more business with them in the real estate industry in the future."

Chen Xijiu spoke very humbly, which greatly increased Elena's goodwill towards him.

Li Ze watched Elena and Chen Xijiu chatting and laughing from afar, his hatred for Chen Xijiu growing stronger.

At this moment, the Governor of Hong Kong also saw Li Ze...
