Chapter 55

Li Huale recovered his gaze, stretched lazily, and his mood suddenly improved. He felt better knowing he had done what he could, and even if it didn't have the desired effect, he wouldn't be too bothered. At the very least, even if the land was reclaimed, he would make the other party suffer.

When that happened, he could just find another factory. Although there would definitely be many obstacles in between, the current product sales of the company were not doing well, so even if production stopped for a few months, it wouldn't matter much.

As for the Cui family enterprise, Li Huale didn't want to deal with it for the time being. He had entrusted the matter to Bai Xiangyong and Old Niu. What he needed to do was continue with his tasks and refresh the rankings of major search websites daily to see when the news about the Cui family enterprise would break.

He needed to remain detached and continue pursuing his unfinished goals.

The conversation between the two became much more normal after that. They hadn't seen each other in a long time and drank very happily. Li Huale also asked about many things that had happened over the years.

When he heard that two of the five people who had initially established the White Dove Group had already quit, and the other two were now in prison, Li Huale sighed deeply.

Due to the group's growing influence, apart from the two who had quit, the other two who had partnered with Bai Xiangyong wanted to get involved in the first and third types of business. Bai Xiangyong couldn't stop them at the time.

In the end, after the business had been running for two months, Bai Xiangyong directly contacted the police, gathered evidence, and sent the two to prison.

He knew that such things couldn't be completely banned, but just because they couldn't be banned didn't mean he had to go along with them. Once involved, the area would become more complicated, and the White Dove might turn into a crow.

Some people, once they became leaders, wanted to make a lot of money and live a corrupt and luxurious life, even though they didn't actually need that much money. They were willing to transfer and store the money, feeling it was a kind of honor, and would never share it with their subordinates.

Bai Xiangyong, of course, also wanted to make money, but relatively speaking, he was a practitioner. The monthly profit of the White Dove Bar, although not as much as many legitimate businesses, was still much more than what ordinary people earned. He could spend the money on eating, drinking, and playing without much trouble.

As for the lifestyle of the upper class? Not everyone was interested in it.

It was precisely because of this that the White Dove Group was so special. Those who wanted to do business could do business, and those who wanted to manage the venue could manage the venue. No one did those special businesses.

However, some people were just fearless.

"Look, he's drugging her!"

Li Huale, who had been watching the adjacent booth, saw the woman get up and leave. The young man in the middle, wearing a gray suit, took out a small bottle, shook it over the water glass, and smiled, his eyes narrowing.

Bai Xiangyong was taken aback, stood up slightly to look at the situation, and his face darkened when he saw the glass still bubbling under the dim light.

"Don't worry, wait a bit longer, let me be the hero and save the beauty!"

"Ha!"

Bai Xiangyong, who was about to call his subordinates to take the three guys out for a lesson, spat out a mouthful of wine. Looking at Li Huale, who looked lecherous—至少在白香永看来是猥琐的—he was speechless. This guy had really become more and more bizarre over the years.

Li Huale didn't realize his image had become lecherous. He just wanted to be the hero and save the beauty, to gain some goodwill. Besides, he had met the girl recently and exchanged phone numbers, and they were old classmates. It would be inhumane to ignore her.

"Alright, you decide. I'll go contact Old Niu. I haven't heard from him in a long time. If you need anything, just call the waiter or me!" Bai Xiangyong said, standing up with a helpless look and walking out of the booth.

Li Huale suddenly said, "You're not going to ask that guy to help you crack the girl's photo album password, are you?"

"Haha, of course not!" Bai Xiangyong replied with a stiff and awkward laugh, then quickly ran into the staff rest area on the right.

Li Huale laughed speechlessly. He didn't expect it to be true. These guys still had young hearts.

Leaning back on the sofa, Li Huale carefully calculated that he still had 250 million in savings, and the company's account should have a few billion. Once the popularity increased, selling songs should earn some money. Even if he didn't sell songs, with no major expenses and no need to purchase materials for a long time, this money could last for two years.

In fact, compared to his peers, Li Huale felt he was quite wealthy. The villa in Jiangnan, for example, was now worth 3.8 billion, although the property owner was Jiang Minjing. He had transferred it to her last year, and it was originally supposed to be jointly owned.

For the current Li Huale, his memory was his greatest wealth.

...

"Phew! Patience!"

Standing in front of the sink, Bae Seulgi took two deep breaths, looking at herself in the mirror, dressed in a black long dress, and whispered.

Thinking about it, this was already the fourth dinner party in recent times. Although there had been dinner parties before, when she was at the height of her popularity, Bae Seulgi could decline them, and the company wouldn't say anything.

But now, Bae Seulgi clearly felt the reality of the entertainment industry. Although she wasn't being forced, the company's intentions were clear. If she didn't go, it might have a negative impact, and the other party was an investor in a movie. This meeting was about work, all for her future.

So... Bae Seulgi reluctantly agreed, but the work talk ended up here? Were they taking her for a fool?

Dressed in a black long dress, sexy black stockings, and with long black hair, Bae Seulgi looked very mature and beautiful.

She had once had many beautiful dreams, but after several years of struggling in the entertainment industry, she finally saw the reality and instinctively felt... disgust.

Leaving the restroom and walking towards the hall, Bae Seulgi suddenly thought of Li Huale and the famous Peace Guardian Group.

"Can I resist?"

With this question in mind, Bae Seulgi slowly walked back to the booth.

Looking at the smiling agent and manager, and the seemingly refined young investor, Bae Seulgi's disgust suddenly reached its peak.

Picking up the glass in front of her, she was about to down it in one gulp when a slightly familiar voice came from the right.

"Don't drink it!! You'll have insomnia tonight!"

The sudden male voice startled the four people sitting there. Bae Seulgi turned her head, her eyes widening in surprise. "Why are you here!"

Li Huale smiled, got up from his sofa, and slowly walked over, entering the booth area without the three men's consent. "Why are you holding it? Do you want to have insomnia?"

Bae Seulgi was taken aback, looking at the glass in her hand and thinking about the insomnia Li Huale mentioned. Her face suddenly changed.

"Sir, we didn't invite you. Even if you are Miss Bae Seulgi's friend, you should understand that I am the host here!" The young man, who was about the same age as Li Huale, said somewhat unhappily, his eyes flickering.

Li Huale ignored him and walked to Bae Seulgi from the left. The agent on the left suddenly stood up, looking serious. "You..."

"Bang!"

A heavy punch landed on the agent's face, knocking him onto the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was startled. When he came to his senses and was about to call for help, he remembered that this hotel was run by the head of the West City District. But when he looked up, he saw seven men in shirts and trousers suddenly surrounding the booth, as if they were encircling them. Looking at the man walking past him, he suddenly thought of something terrifying, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

The young man beside him was also terrified, his body stiffening.
