Chapter 15 Smuggling, Brocade Night Walking!
The first thing Jia Lei did after arriving at the hotel with the advisory team was to rest, knowing that they had only slept once in the past few days.
After getting up from sleep, Jia Lei began to sit by the window of the hotel in a daze, through the window of the hotel, he could see Pengcheng, which was only a river away, Pengcheng was already a thousand lights, but Jia Lei could only stay alone in the hotel on Hong Kong Island.
"Don't come back until Amy's matter is decided, and it's best not to call home all the time!I'm afraid someone will find you on the phone......" Jia Lei looked at Pengcheng at night and recalled what his grandfather said when he was on the phone last time he talked to home.
"Boss, are you hungry? Let's go downstairs to the western restaurant for dinner. Pete asked.
"I'm hungry! But I don't want to eat Western food, I'm going to Temple Street for snacks in a while! I've come to Hong Kong Island, how can I not go to Temple Street and Causeway Bay!" Jia Lei cheered up and said, Pete also said that he wanted to go together when he heard that there was something delicious, but Farr and Paul were not interested in the roadside stalls and refused.
Jia Lei took Pete and his wallet all the way from the street to the end of the street, and tasted famous snacks such as pineapple rice, barbecued pork buns, peeing cow balls, etc. one by one.
Pete was originally not interested in Chinese specialties such as dry fried beef river, but after Jia Lei forced him to taste it, this young man from country M fell in love with Chinese food completely, and he even ate more than Jia Lei.
When Jia Lei and Pete were eating snacks at a Cantonese lap-mei stall, the little brother washing dishes behind the stall suddenly stood up and walked over.
"Is it Jia Xiaodong's house? It's really Jia Xiaodong's house! I didn't admit it wrong!" said the dishwasher happily.
"Who are you?, why do I look a little familiar?" Jia Lei asked suspiciously.
"I'm Wen Twelve from Wenjia Village, and Wen San is my cousin!" said Wen Twelve, a dishwasher.
After listening to this, Jia Lei looked at him carefully and found that he did look very similar to Wen San, but almost everyone in Wenjia Village was cousins.
"You've lost so much weight that I almost didn't recognize you. Jia Lei said haha.
"Can you not lose weight! The stock has cost me a lot in the past two days. Wen Twelve complained.
"It doesn't matter if the stock loses, it will rise in the future. Jia Lei comforted him and said.
"How can it be okay, I borrowed all the money from others to speculate in stocks, and now only half of it is left! And if the stock falls again, I will even lose my own capital. Wen Twelve said with red eyes.
"That'...... What should you do?" Jia Lei asked with concern, after all, this is also the only acquaintance in another country.
"What else can I do, pay it back slowly! I asked someone to smuggle me to Hong Kong Island to work, and the wages on Hong Kong Island are high, so I have to be able to hurry up! If I really can't do it, I can only sell the house. Wen Twelve said worriedly.
"It's better not to sell the house or not, you must know that it is easy to sell a house and difficult to buy! Jia Lei persuaded that the housing prices in Pengcheng have only risen and never seen them.
"Little Boss Jia, why don't I sell the house to you, 200,000! Just 200,000!" Wen Twelve suddenly grabbed Jia Lei's arm and said excitedly.
"What do I want your house for? Don't you see that I have an apartment that big? I don't have a house at all. Jia Lei said.
"Yes, I forgot you have a big apartment, and I saw your uncle renovating it the other day. Wen Twelve suddenly let go of his hand and said.
"My uncle, has my uncle already arrived in Pengcheng?" Jia Lei asked excitedly, and Wen Twelve nodded.
"Wen 12, I don't want your house, but I can lend you 200,000, you just need to mortgage the house to me. In addition, you have to do me a favor......" Jia Lei's eyes lit up and he said.
"As long as you are willing to lend me money, I can help with anything!" Wen Twelve hurriedly said.
"You just said that you were smuggled over, then you can let someone smuggle me back to Wenjia Village. Jia Lei said.
"Why do you want to smuggle in a small boss, you, you are not a black worker?" Wen Twelve asked inexplicably.
"What's that...... I don't have a return permit! I flew directly to Hong Kong Island from abroad, so I don't have a return permit or a Hong Kong and Macao permit at all!" Jia Lei hurriedly explained, Wen Twelve still didn't understand why he did this, but he still nodded obediently.
Is it the uncle who gives the money? Recently, there have been more smugglers, and there are all kinds of strange reasons.
However, most people are smuggled from the mainland to Hong Kong Island, and Jia Lei is the first person he has seen who wants to smuggle from Hong Kong Island to the mainland.

Pengcheng, Wenjia Village.
"The house is almost finished today, you put the door frame in order and clean up the garbage. In these two days, you can call the designer to study the decoration plan. Wang Yidao shouted at the workers, and everyone agreed.
"Boss Wang, Boss Wang, come here!" Wen Twelve sneakily ran over and grabbed Wang Yidao.
"Wen Twelve, what are you doing? Didn't you go to Hong Kong Island, why did you come back again?" Wang Yidao asked in surprise.
"Don't ask me why I'm back, come with me and someone wants to see you. Wen Twelve said as he pulled Wang Yidao and walked into the corner of the remote wall.
"What are you doing over there? It's pitch black, there's not even a little light, you don't think you're trying to rob it. Wang Yidao joked that he and the people of Wenjia Village are now familiar with each other.
"Little boss Jia, I brought you, hurry up and talk to him, we have to go back to Hong Kong Island in an hour." Wen Twelve shouted quietly.
Jia Lei stepped out from behind the fence with a pile of construction waste.
"Who? Who, where?" Wang Yidao hurriedly asked, there were no street lights in Wenjia Village, and only a small figure could be seen under the moon.
"Uncle, don't call me, it's me! I'm Jia Lei. Jia Lei hurriedly said.
"Jia Lei, didn't you go abroad to study, why did you come back again?" Wang Yidao asked nervously.
"I haven't been to the Soviet Union to study yet, and I just arrived on Hong Kong Island today because of some recent events. Jia Lei said.
"Why doesn't your voice sound right?Why do you still have a hat on your head at night?" Wang Yidao asked after seeing Jia Lei approaching.
"I thought the hat looked good, so I bought one. Jia Lei said.
"Then why do you still wear sunglasses at night, I'll take a look!" Wang Yidao turned on the flashlight with a snap after speaking.
"Don't ...... Don't take a photo!" Jia Lei hurriedly covered his face and said.
"What's wrong with your head? Why are you wrapped in gauze?" asked Wang Yidao when he saw the gauze under Jia Lei's hat.
"I accidentally fell!" Jia Lei said with his mouth covered.
"What are you doing with your hands and covering your mouth?" Wang Yidao asked suspiciously, and Jia Lei immediately covered it tighter.
Wang Yidao hurriedly went up and pulled away Jia Lei's hand, and sure enough, he saw another piece of gauze under his hand.
"It's been less than a week, isn't it?, how did you get bruised all over your body?" asked Wang Yidao worriedly.
"I said I had fallen by accident. Jia Lei whispered.
"Are you stupid for me?" I want to see how you can fall on the left side of your head and your right nose at the same time!" Wang Yidao asked.
"Tell me the truth?" Wang Yidao asked loudly.
"Be quiet, you be quiet, I can't come back now. Jia Lei looked around nervously and said.
"I forgot! Wang Yidao immediately asked in a low voice.
"I was able to meet a lovelorn madman who was throwing cups and plates all over the café! Jia Lei said that he was like the sun assuring that he was telling the truth.
"Why are you so stupid, why don't you dodge the ...... when you see a madman?"
Jia Lei and Wang Yidao began to talk about homely things.
"Little Jew, your godmother took it to the hospital for surgery, and said it was your money......"
"Your mother and Zhou Jun quarreled......"
In the end, Jia Lei left Wang with only a check for $2 million, and the new billionaire smuggled back in a vegetable basket filled with eggplant, peppers, and tomatoes.
"I'm going quietly, just like coming quietly with me!" Jia Lei said in the vegetable basket.

At the same time, country m.
The office of Citibank's Chairman and CEO, John Reid.
"Paul from the chairman's investment department came back with word that his new client was willing to invest in Citibank, and he asked if we were going to sign a share transfer agreement with him. The secretary walked in and reported.
"Paul's new client in the investment department, who is that?" Reid asked.
"An Asian kid, a new client of our bank, who has a futures fund under his name, and as far as I know, he has just made a lot of cash from the futures market in the island country. Now it's all in his other bank account with us. The secretary replied.
"Asians? No, I don't need to. We have a better choice, and there are so many financiers in country M that we don't need an outsider to invest in our Citibank. I'm going to Tokyo for a meeting of the global financiers that are now gathered there, and Collins and I will find a gentleman who is willing to invest in our country M. Let that Asian kid still be an ordinary customer of our bank honestly. Reed said nonchalantly.
Although Citibank's current situation is critical, he is not as "anxious" as other Citibank managers in the U.S., because he pins his hopes of raising funds on his vice chairman, Paul Collins.
