Rebirth of Bloody Romance

The next morning, the sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains, scattering dappled light on the floor of the room, heralding the beginning of a new day.

Zhong Yuemin, Zheng Tong and Li Kuiyong drove out of the hotel and headed for Luohu Port, preparing to officially step into the prosperous and mysterious land of Hong Kong Island.

Inside the car, Zheng Tong looked at Zhong Yuemin with a gossipy look on his face, with a playful smile on his face. "Yuemin, what did you do yesterday? You didn't come back the whole night. Did you do something shameful behind our backs? Or did you go to some place to have fun?"

After hearing this, Zhong Yuemin rolled his eyes helplessly, with a faint smile on his face. "Go to hell! I went to visit some of my dad's old comrades yesterday. Those old generals were all great drinkers. I was a little drunk, so I just stayed at their place."

"Fuck! Why don't you believe it, buddy? Kuiyong, do you believe it?" Zheng Tong obviously didn't buy it. He turned around and asked Li Kuiyong who was sitting on the other side for confirmation.

Li Kuiyong smiled slightly, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, but he said nothing, just shook his head gently, as if to say, "Who knows about this kind of thing?"

Zhong Yuemin was too lazy to deal with Zheng Tong's nonsense. His eyes passed through the car window and fell on the mottled wall of Luohu Port. Several eye-catching characters still shone brightly in the morning light: "People all over the world unite to defeat the American invaders and all their running dogs!"

This sentence seemed to be an invisible force, instantly pulling Zhong Yuemin's thoughts back to the war-torn era. He couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of pride in his heart, as if he had returned to the youthful days when his blood was boiling and he was serving the country.

"Hey, Yuemin, what are you looking at?" Zheng Tong asked curiously when he saw Zhong Yuemin staring out the window in a daze.

Zhong Yuemin collected his thoughts and smiled faintly. "Nothing, it's just that seeing this sentence reminded me of some past events."

"Past events? What past events? Tell me quickly!" Zheng Tong became excited immediately when he heard there was a story. His eyes widened and he looked like he was listening attentively.

Zhong Yuemin kept it a secret and smiled mysteriously. "I'll tell you when I have a chance!"

Under the sunlight, the car slowly drove into the bustling Central. The streets were busy with cars and pedestrians, and the hustle and bustle of the city seemed like a never-ending symphony.

The car moved forward steadily on the road, and soon arrived at the door of the hotel that Yu Guodong had carefully arranged.

Zhong Yuemin and others walked briskly into the hotel lobby, which was magnificent and splendid. The crystal chandeliers emitted soft light, reflecting the colorful light and shadows on the smooth marble floor. After completing the check-in procedures, they each took the room card and walked towards the room.

As soon as they entered the room, they put down their luggage and rushed to the bathroom. The warm water poured down from the shower head, washing away their fatigue. After taking a shower, they changed into clean and tidy clothes, and they felt refreshed.

Li Kuiyong sat on the soft sofa, his eyes rolling around, and suddenly suggested, "Yuemin, look at this room, it's big enough, four or five people can squeeze in without any problem. We booked so many rooms this time, what a waste of money! Why don't we cancel two rooms?"

When Yu Guodong heard what Li Kuiyong said, he waved his hand and said generously, "Don't be like this, Kuiyong. This little money is nothing. It's all on my account. You don't need to feel bad. When we go out to play, we have to be comfortable. We can't wrong ourselves for this little money."

Li Kuiyong smiled helplessly and replied, "Then I won't be polite. But this is too expensive."

"Hey, that's right! Why are you being polite to me?" Yu Guodong smiled and patted Li Kuiyong on the shoulder.

Zhong Yuemin looked at everyone and said to a few people, "Let's go out for a walk. Have your own lunch and don't stay in the hotel. There are many fun places in Central. You can go and have a look."

Hearing what Zhong Yuemin said, Ermaozi excitedly pulled Zheng Tong's hand and said, "Let's go shopping!" After that, the two of them left the room happily.

Li Kuiyong had no intention of leaving, he lazily leaned on the sofa, chatting with Yu Guodong. The topic ranged from recent life trivia to some anecdotes, and the two laughed from time to time.

Zhong Yuemin sat at the desk, picked up newspapers and journals and read them carefully. His eyes shuttled between the lines, hoping to find something useful in them. However, after reading for a long time, he still felt that it was not very useful, and frowned slightly.

Finally, Yu Guodong felt a little bored, so he stood up, stretched, and said, "I'm going to go out for a walk first." After that, he walked out of the room.

Seeing that Zhong Yuemin was immersed in newspapers and magazines, Li Kuiyong didn't want to disturb him due to his focused expression, so he gently stood up and yawned. "Yuemin, read it by yourself! I'm going to catch up on my sleep." After saying that, he went back to his room.

At this quiet moment, the sunlight shines through the gaps in the window and onto the floor of the room, creating patches of light and shadow. The room is filled with a lazy and comfortable atmosphere, as if time has slowed down at this moment.

At this moment, a crisp telephone ring suddenly rang, breaking the silence.

Zhong Yuemin was slightly startled, then quickly walked to the phone, picked up the phone, and said in a calm and polite tone, "Hello!"

A clear and gentle voice came from the other end of the phone. "Mr. Zhong, this is the front desk. A Mr. Li wants to see you."

"Let him in." After saying that, Zhong Yuemin hung up the phone gently, then turned and walked towards the door and opened it.

Zhong Yuemin walked slowly to the window and quietly looked out at the scenery outside. The hotel where he stayed was very high, and from this angle, he could see the entire city.

In the distance is the vast sea, with waves gently lapping against the shore, creating layers of white foam. The sea breeze blows gently, bringing a hint of coolness, but also mixed with a slightly salty taste.

The hotel's windows were cleaned spotlessly without a speck of dust, allowing sunlight to shine in unhindered, making the entire room appear exceptionally bright.

However, such a beautiful view did not make Zhong Yuemin excited, but made him feel a little tired. Perhaps the recent busy life made him physically and mentally exhausted, and at this moment he just wanted to enjoy this moment of tranquility.

At this moment, Li Wenbo gently opened the door and walked in. With a smile on his face, he said politely, "Hello, Mr. Zhong."

On a hot day, Li Wenbo was still dressed in a suit, as if he didn't care about the hot weather at all. He was wearing a light grey suit, the texture of which looked very sophisticated, with smooth lines and a well-fitting tailoring, showing a low-key and luxurious temperament.

Li Wenbo was wearing a chemical fiber, non-ironing shirt designed for summer wear. The fabric of this shirt was light, thin and breathable, so people wouldn't feel stuffy even in hot weather.

The shirt is pure white like snow, without a single wrinkle, and is tied with an authentic silk tie. The tie is brightly colored yet dignified, and is embroidered with delicate patterns, which shimmer softly under the light. The tie is pinned to the shirt with an exquisite tie clip, which is simple and stylish in design, adding a sense of refinement to the entire outfit.

Li Wenbo was wearing a pair of shiny leather shoes, the surface of which was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting everything around him. With every step, the shoes made a slight sound, as if telling of its owner's pursuit of quality of life. His hair was combed meticulously, and every strand of hair seemed to be carefully arranged and neatly attached to the scalp, giving him a capable and energetic feeling.

When Zhong Yuemin saw Li Wenbo's outfit, he couldn't help but reach out and tug at his tie, frowning slightly and saying, "You don't have to be so nervous. You're dressed so tightly."

Li Wenbo smiled and explained, "Mr. Zhong, this is how it is at work. And now there are air-conditioned rooms, so it's not too hot."

Zhong Yuemin listened, shook his head slightly, and said with a smile, "Just wear a shirt. It's just asking for trouble to wear something so formal."

Li Wenbo nodded. "I understand, Mr. Zhong. I'm glad to have you here. I also want to ask how to develop the next step."

Li Wenbo nodded, with a hint of eagerness in his expression. "I see, Mr. Zhong, I've finally got you here. I've always wanted to ask what our next step should be." His eyes sparkled with anticipation and desire for the future.

Zhong Yuemin stood up, his eyes determined. "Come with me to Goldman Sachs."

Zhong Yuemin's account has always been opened in this prestigious bank. He plans to check his financial situation in person and make adequate preparations for future planning.

Zhong Yuemin knew that his account had always been in Goldman Sachs, and that the funds in his account had been growing over time. This time, he wanted to check it out in person to see how much wealth he had accumulated.

Li Wenbo looked at Zhong Yuemin's determined eyes and no longer worried about the cumbersomeness of the suit. He simply followed his advice and put the suit on his arm. Then the two of them found the car together. Li Wenbo politely opened the door and let Zhong Yuemin get in first.

The car shuttled between high-rise buildings and soon arrived at the front door of Goldman Sachs Bank. Zhong Yuemin walked in with ease and went directly to the VIP room. The account manager here was named Wu, an experienced professional.

As soon as Manager Wu saw Zhong Yuemin, his face was immediately filled with smiles, and he flattered him, "Mr. Zhong, you are truly a genius among geniuses! I have personally witnessed your legendary journey from a millionaire to a billionaire. Your investment vision and decision-making ability are truly admirable!"

Zhong Yuemin listened to Manager Wu's compliments, but just waved his hand lightly. "It's just luck. There's no such thing as genius or not. But then again, I came here this time to confirm the funds in my account."

Manager Wu's smile became even brighter, and he almost patted his chest to assure, "Mr. Zhong, the first time was luck, but the second and third times were accurate, which is definitely a sign of genius. Most people can't compare to you. Your grasp of the general market trend is both accurate and steady. Many of our analysts and traders here admire you so much that the word 'admiration' is not enough to express their respect."

Zhong Yuemin just smiled faintly when he heard Manager Wu's praise. He knew in his heart that although these praises were a bit exaggerated, they were not groundless. After all, in the investment market, people who can maintain profits for a long time are indeed rare.

"Okay, Manager Wu, please help me check my account. How much money do I have now?" Zhong Yuemin still wanted to confirm his wealth again.

Manager Wu nodded quickly, and tapped twice on the computer keyboard. Zhong Yuemin's account information was immediately displayed on the screen. He smiled and said to Zhong Yuemin, "Mr. Zhong, including the previous principal, your account has a total of 26.5 billion. However, this money is still in the futures account. If you want to transfer it to the bank deposit account, your confirmation is still needed."

Zhong Yuemin nodded to show that he understood. He picked up a pen and signed a long list of names on the thick document. Only then did the money truly belong to him.

After signing, Zhong Yuemin couldn't help but sigh: "It's really troublesome to transfer and settle accounts now. If it were like the Internet era in the future, with banks and securities integrated, transfers would be much more convenient."

Manager Wu was like a worm in Zhong Yuemin's stomach, and he agreed with a smile. "Mr. Zhong, the current financial system does have many imperfections. However, I believe that with the continuous advancement of technology, these problems will be solved. By then, our financial services will become more convenient and efficient."

Zhong Yuemin smiled and said nothing more. He knew that no matter how the times changed, the nature of the financial market would not change.

After coming out of the bank, both of them were hungry and needed food urgently.

Li Wenbo looked at Mr. Zhong, who looked a little tired and a little hungry. He was moved and suggested enthusiastically, "Mr. Zhong, I'll treat you to a Western meal. There's a good French restaurant. The steak there is fried to perfection, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Paired with exquisite sauces and fresh vegetable salads, I'm sure you will enjoy a feast."

Zhong Yuemin smiled and shook his head when he heard l. "Forget it. I can't get full after eating Western food all the time, and I have to pretend to be polite. I can't bear that kind of suffering."

Li Wenbo laughed when he heard that. "Mr. Zhong is indeed a straightforward person. How about this, I know there is a food stall nearby, the food is delicious, let's go there to eat."

Zhong Yuemin nodded in agreement, and the two got in the car and drove to the food stall that Li Wenbo mentioned.

Ten minutes later, they came to a narrow alley and saw a food stall. Although the stall was simple, the business was very prosperous, which showed how good the food was.

The two parked the car and found a relatively clean place to sit down. Li Wenbo skillfully called the stall owner to order a few dishes, and opened a bottle of soda for Zhong Yuemin. "This damn weather is a bit hot, drink some soda to cool down."

Zhong Yuemin didn't take the soda, but took a bottle of beer from the freezer and blew half of the bottle. It took him a long while to recover, revealing a satisfied look on his face. "It's so refreshing!"

The stall owner quickly brought several plates of braised dishes and peanuts, among which the pork head meat was particularly to Zhong Yuemin's liking. He chewed the pork head meat with big mouthfuls and praised it highly. "This pork head meat is really well braised, boss, give me another plate!"

Li Wenbo couldn't help but laugh at Zhong Yuemin's generous look. The two of them ate side dishes and chatted, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
