Chapter 20
The People from the Macau Water Room Have Arrived

A month later, in Chu Feng's villa.

It was eight o'clock in the morning when Chu Feng emerged from his bedroom wearing white pajamas. He had just woken up and spent over an hour practicing various whip techniques from the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon with Li Xin Xin.

Chu Feng felt completely relaxed and sat on the sofa.

The soft sofa molded itself around his muscular body, a wave of comfort washing over him. This is the life of a big shot!

At that moment, Chu Feng glanced at the Filipina maid in the villa and instructed her:

“Maria, pour me a glass of cold water.”

The Filipina maid nodded: “Yes, sir.”

Chu Feng settled into the sofa, reading a newspaper while waiting for his water. As for the Filipina maids, he had hired several.

Filipina maids were already quite famous in this era, possessing exceptional professionalism and domestic skills. Some even spoke English.

This was mainly because Hong Kong's economy was booming, and many wealthy individuals or upper-class families began hiring Filipina maids as domestic help to enjoy a more luxurious lifestyle.

Soon, the Filipina maid arrived in front of Chu Feng, handing him a glass of cold water:

“Sir, your cold water. Please call me if you need anything else.”

With that, the Filipina maid tactfully turned and walked away.

Chu Feng reclined on the sofa, reading the newspaper while sipping his cold water.

After a while, Li Xin Xin emerged, wearing a floral dress, her face adorned with exquisite makeup, making her even more radiant.

Upon seeing Chu Feng, Li Xin Xin smiled and walked over, calling out:

“Feng Ge.”

Li Xin Xin reached out, wrapping her arms around Chu Feng's neck and planting a kiss on his cheek, displaying a great deal of intimacy.

Chu Feng was already wealthy, and coupled with his handsome looks, he naturally held a strong attraction to women. Li Xin Xin soon developed a romantic relationship with Chu Feng.

Chu Feng also considered Li Xin Xin his woman and treated her well, a simple case of the power of money!

Chu Feng patted Li Xin Xin's rear end and said with a smile: “Xin Xin, come back to the villa tonight to wait for me.”

Li Xin Xin, understanding Chu Feng's meaning, blushed and nodded: “Yes, Feng Ge.”

Feng Ge was perfect in every way – handsome, with a great body, and rich. He just had endless energy!

Recently, Chu Feng had become rather obsessed with Li Xin Xin's cherry lips. There was no denying their allure.

After Li Xin Xin got ready and had a quick breakfast, she put on her work attire and left for school. She had stayed at his villa last night.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Xin Xin smiled: “Feng Ge, I'm going to work.”

Chu Feng nodded: “Okay, I'll have my men drive you.”

Li Xin Xin didn't object to Chu Feng's arrangement: “Okay, Feng Ge.”

After Li Xin Xin became Chu Feng's woman, he also arranged for a few men to protect her safety. After all, she was exceptionally beautiful, and there were bound to be some dimwits trying to hit on her.

Having some men around Li Xin Xin could also keep the flies away.

After Li Xin Xin left, Chu Feng took his convoy and bodyguards out of the villa.

Around nine in the morning, Chu Feng arrived at a warehouse on the outskirts of Mong Kok.

The gangster Gao Jin was already waiting for Chu Feng at the warehouse entrance.

When three Mercedes-Benz business vans pulled up at the entrance, the men immediately jumped out and opened the door for Chu Feng, bending over and waiting for him to get out.

After Chu Feng got out of the car, he adjusted his tie and looked at Gao Jin.

Gao Jin, his face beaming with respect, called out: “Boss.”

Chu Feng, without wasting any time, asked: “Gao Jin, how's the electrical appliance smuggling business going?”

Gao Jin immediately responded: “Boss, I've expanded the smuggling business, and I've built strong connections on the mainland. Smuggling electrical appliances is truly profitable.”

“A television set sells for 2,000 in Hong Kong but fetches 6,000 to 8,000 on the mainland. I've calculated that the monthly profit is at least 5 million.”

The main reason was that Hong Kong's economy was flourishing, but its market was limited. While not everyone had a television set, they were already commonplace.

But the mainland was different. Its economy was just starting to take off, and television sets were still considered a rare commodity.

These items were mostly sold to wealthy individuals on the mainland, thus commanding a premium. Furthermore, the mainland's market was much larger.

Chu Feng nodded in satisfaction. He had seen this lucrative opportunity. He had invested a total of 20 million, and it would take four months to recoup his investment.

But once the business scaled up, the profits would skyrocket. The real money was yet to come. For now, it was about expanding the market. Chu Feng smiled and commended: “Gao Jin, you've done a good job.”

Gao Jin was a manager, so Chu Feng didn't need to micromanage everything. Gao Jin could handle things seamlessly.

Gao Jin said with a smile: “It's my honor to serve the boss and alleviate your worries.”

After their brief conversation, Chu Feng took Gao Jin to inspect the smuggled electrical appliances.

Once they entered the warehouse, Chu Feng saw various cardboard boxes containing refrigerators, ceiling fans, VCD players, and other electrical appliances. These were hot commodities on the mainland, in high demand and guaranteed to sell out. There was no need to worry about them sitting on shelves.

Several other men were busy moving goods inside the warehouse. Upon seeing Chu Feng and Gao Jin, they hurriedly called out:

“Boss.”

“Jin Ge.”

Chu Feng nodded, and Gao Jin told the men: “Continue working.”

These goods would be transported to the port and smuggled to the mainland. Since all the paperwork was in order, they didn't have to worry about the police interfering.

After inspecting the goods, Chu Feng and Gao Jin left the warehouse.

At that moment, a BMW pulled up in front of the warehouse. It was Fang Boss's car.

Fang Boss stepped out of the car and, upon spotting Chu Feng and Gao Jin, quickly jogged over and called out:

“Feng Ge.”

Fang Boss had played a pivotal role in Chu Feng's success in the electrical appliance smuggling business. He had pulled a lot of strings on the mainland, likely consuming a significant amount of alcohol and fathering a few illegitimate children in the process.

The movies depicted Fang Boss as a shrewd businessman who could humble himself when necessary and navigate the mainland's drinking culture. He probably had spent a fortune on vases.

There's no such thing as a free lunch. If you can establish connections on the mainland, money must be exchanged.

Some people on the mainland with connections would auction off worthless vases. Fang Boss would bid exorbitant prices for these vases and then reclaim them later.

This money was untraceable and flawless.

Chu Feng looked at Fang Boss's protruding belly, a clear sign of excessive beer consumption. He patted him on the shoulder and said:

“Fang Boss, thank you for your help. My company wouldn't be where it is today without you. We're friends now.”

“Trust me, you won't regret being my friend.”

Fang Boss said with a hearty laugh: “Feng Ge, it's nothing. We're all making money together. No problem.”

Fang Boss was a smooth talker. He understood Chu Feng's intentions. He was now under Chu Feng's protection. It's good to be under the shade of a big tree. With a large triad like the Loyal Righteous and Harmonious Society behind him, no one dared to mess with him.

Chu Feng chatted with Fang Boss for a while before leaving him to discuss business matters with Gao Jin. Chu Feng then led his convoy back to the financial company.

As soon as Chu Feng arrived back at his office, a system notification sounded in his mind.

“Congratulations, host, for completing the system-assigned task: 'Start Your First Business.'”

“Reward: Gun Mastery!”

“Do you wish to receive the reward immediately?”

Chu Feng immediately nodded: “Receive.”

The moment Chu Feng spoke, a vast amount of knowledge about firearms flooded his mind, like a slideshow playing continuously. At the same time, a surge of energy remodeled Chu Feng's muscle memory.

This infusion lasted for over 20 minutes. When Chu Feng opened his eyes, a sharp glint flickered in them. It was as if he had spent forty to fifty years practicing with firearms, becoming a master in an instant.

With a thought, Chu Feng retrieved a Black Star pistol from his system space. He held the pistol, feeling incredibly familiar with it.

He felt like he could dismantle the gun blindfolded and reassemble it with ease, remembering every single component.

Chu Feng was very pleased with the Gun Mastery skill. After all, it was a modern world. No matter how skilled someone was in martial arts, they couldn't beat a kitchen knife. Guns were the ultimate weapon.

Why have a gun and not use it? How could he become a grandmaster without it?

Now that Chu Feng was a sharpshooter, he planned to visit a shooting range to test his skills.

Just then, his phone rang.

Chu Feng picked it up and saw it was his good brother Luo Ding Fa calling. He directly asked:

“A Fa, what's up?”

Luo Ding Fa said: “A Feng, there's a meeting at the Loyal Righteous and Harmonious Society building at four this afternoon. Boss Long just told me.”

Chu Feng was slightly taken aback: “It's not the day for paying protection money. What meeting?”

Luo Ding Fa coldly said: “It's because Lian Hao Dong got into some trouble. People from the Macau Water Room are meeting Boss Long.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng nodded: “I understand. I'll be there.”
