Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

By the 80s, several gangs were gradually formed, and competition for territory became frequent.

This also directly caused the small gang to lose its foothold and could only be mixed between the three families and eat some scraps.

Big families are not willing to stay in business. They often send their heirs to college and place them in functional departments when they come back, so that they can protect their family.

Some incompetent sons can only inherit their companies and continue to expand their businesses.

This is the case for the Chen family. In order to clear themselves, they established a securities company. On the surface, they helped others speculate in stocks, but in fact they did it secretly.

However, they are only one of the three securities firms, and the shareholders behind the other two are foreigners, which also eliminates the possibility of them fighting for it through force.

"It's really complicated." Lin Ran recalled everything he read in the newspaper. Only when he got involved in this dispute himself did he understand that people would really die.

Just like Chen Qi's brother, he was trying to comfort him that it didn't matter if he lost.

In fact, it was a disguised warning to him that if he dared to win, he would not be able to leave the harbor city.

But Lin Ran would not admit defeat like that.

"Forget it, let's go to his house tomorrow." After a long day of flying and running around, Lin Ran felt a little tired.

The next day, Lin Ran had breakfast and was waiting for Chen Qi in the hotel lobby.

As a result, he waited until ten o'clock before he rushed over without any sense of time.

"Mr. Chen, if you want to run a company, you need to have a sense of time." Lin Ran said seriously.

Chen Qi was startled when he heard this. No one in Hong Kong City dared to speak to him in such a tone.

However, today I have a request from him.

He just looked a little unhappy and said, "Mr. Lin, I'm delayed by something. Let's go to my dad's place now."

We drove to another corner of the port city.

You can see the coast from here, and the mansion is as big as a golf course.

In a place like Hong Kong City, where land is at a premium, having such a large amount of land shows how luxurious his family is.

"When we enter the house later, Mr. Lin, please don't talk nonsense. Just obey my instructions." Chen Qi led the way and whispered to Lin Ran.

It's okay to talk to yourself in that tone. I've been to the mainland several times, and I know that people there don't have an obvious sense of hierarchy.

However, if he offended his father, he was afraid that not only would Lin Ran's life be in danger, but he would also be laughed at by his brothers and sisters until he could not hold his head up.

So he repeatedly told Lin Ran not to say unnecessary words, and if he had any questions, he could go to him directly.

Lin Ran just nodded silently. He was not a talkative person.

There were many servants standing nearby. When they saw Chen Qi, they bent down to say hello.

Chen Qi didn't even look at them and walked directly through them.

Instead, Lin Ran would show a gentle smile to each servant before following Chen Qi.

Chen Qi's attitude is unacceptable when working in the mainland.

Even though the servants are incompetent, if you really offend them, many things will be difficult to deal with.

Lin Ran wanted to find a chance to talk to Chen Qi about this matter, but saw him taking long strides to the hall of the inner room and winking at Lin Ran: "Come here quickly."

"Forget it, business is more important." Lin Ran shook his head and mentioned this matter later.

Most of the houses seen in Hong Kong City are made of reinforced concrete, but the one where Chen Qi's father lives is very special.

It has the feeling of a house in a deep alley, with antique mahogany pillars and exquisitely carved cornices, all of which reveal a literati temperament.

This kind of house is indeed special to Hong Kong people.

But Lin Ran came from the mainland, and in many places, this kind of architecture is still maintained, so there is no special feeling.

Chen Qi knocked lightly on the door three times before a summons came from inside.

"Come in." A somewhat old voice came.

When he opened the door, he saw an old man wearing a Tang suit, holding a celadon teacup and drinking tea with a smile.

Next to him, there was a middle-aged man in simple clothes and a landlord's hat sitting.

Seeing the middle-aged man, Chen Qi's expression changed instantly.

"Uncle, when did you get out of the hospital?" Chen Qi's eyes kept beating.

"My dear nephew, it was just a small car accident. I have recovered my memory now." The middle-aged man smiled, and then turned his attention to Lin Ran, "If you guessed it right, that little master is the one you woke up from in the capital. Are you a treasure appraiser?"

Lin Ran didn't comment, just bowed slightly and saluted. Because he didn't know who they were, he didn't bother to call them, he just nodded and smiled.

The old man put down the tea cup, stood up, and said with a smile: "Master, please excuse me. Please sit down."

He is actually Chen Zhifei?

Lin Ran suddenly remembered that Chen Zhifei was actually born in the 30s, but he looked at Chen Qi as being in his 20s, so he subconsciously thought that Chen Zhifei was only in his 40s.

Judging from his appearance, he must be at least sixty and almost seventy.

In the mainland of this era, this situation is impossible.

"Let me introduce you. This is my uncle Chen He, who opened an appraisal shop in Shahe District." Chen Qi introduced the two of them to Lin Ran.

As expected, the old man is the legendary Hong Kong tycoon Chen Zhifei.

Although nothing he did was good, people still called him a tycoon, which shows that he put a lot of thought into marketing.

"To be honest with you, today is actually my first day out of the hospital." Chen He said with a smile.

"Hey, my brother is addicted to treasures. When he heard that there was a master treasure appraiser from the capital, he didn't care about lying in the hospital. He came directly to my house and wanted to see you." Chen Zhifei looked very kind on the surface. .

But Lin Ran finally figured out that this guy's real intention was to test his ability.

Lin Ran knew quite a few treasure appraisers from the Mainland.

Even if they don't know each other at this time, they still know each other's details more or less.

This guy named Chen He has no information at all.

But it doesn't matter. To him, it doesn't matter who poses the question.

"I heard that the master is an expert in treasure appraisal in the capital. During the time I was hospitalized, several cultural relics came to the auction house. Why don't we take a look at them together?" Chen He asked.

"Then it's Mr. Lao Chen." Lin Ran agreed.

The moment his eyes came into contact with Chen He, he could read a hint of contempt.

He just smiled slightly.

Chen He stood up, led Lin Ran out of the hall, and led the three of them toward the depths of the yard.

It's like this is your own home.

Lin Ran saw Chen Qi's uncomfortable expression and wanted to ask what the situation was, but it was inconvenient to ask.

I just feel a little cold and handsome. Could it be that Chen Qi is afraid of his uncle?
