Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

Chapter 1065 Project Launch

After returning to Shanghai and handing Hong Xin over to Wen Huixin, Wei Shang set off back to Guangzhou.

"Director, a new type of drug has recently appeared here. The anti-drug team is investigating, but they still can't find its source!" Back in his office, the secretary presented Wei Shang with a large gift.

Wei Shang is currently in charge of intelligence and drug enforcement, so this matter does indeed fall under his jurisdiction.

"What kind? Do you have a sample?" Wei Shang asked.

"Yes, this is it!" The secretary placed a small bag in front of Wei Shang.

Wei Shang took one look and realized it was ecstasy. He was very familiar with this stuff; it had only appeared a couple of years ago, and both He Lian Sheng and Dong Xing in Mingzhu sold it.

The Tianqiao Gang had once caught a vendor selling this stuff in the area. Liang Kun had told him that he had also seen related information at the Ding brothers' place.

This product is inexpensive and easy to manufacture, so it quickly captured a significant share of the flour and ice market as soon as it hit the market.

Wei Shang didn't expect that this thing would appear in the mainland so quickly.

"Go and fetch Li Weimin!" Wei Shang instructed his secretary.

"Okay!" After the secretary left, Wei Shang stared at the ecstasy pills in front of him, lost in thought.

When dealing with the Ding brothers, Wei Shang had previously investigated the matter and found that there was a mainland Chinese man named Lin Yaodong who was able to learn the skills from the Ding family.

But he studied ice, right? Could this ecstasy thing also be related to him?

"Director, you wanted to see me?" A moment later, Li Weimin knocked on the door and came in. The two were roommates, so Li Weimin was more casual with them.

Although Wei Shang is now Li Weimin's direct superior, Li Weimin still receives many benefits in various aspects because they work in the same department.

"Look at this!" Wei Shang threw the small bag containing ecstasy pills in front of Li Weimin and said with a serious expression.

“I know about this. A couple of days ago, a police officer from a local police station seized it by chance. He didn’t know what it was until it was sent to the department for testing,” Li Weimin said.

"Then you should know the dangers of this thing, right?" Wei Shang asked.

"I know, I've already given a notice to my subordinates to crack down on this, and I've also systematically organized training for them!" Li Weimin said.

"Do you remember the message I sent back last time? The one about the Ding brothers in Mingzhu?" Wei Shang asked.

“I remember, we checked too. There are no ice-making factories in Donggang. This ice is very likely from Xigang!” Li Weimin explained.

"Have you found any leads on Lin Yaodong, whom you were asked to investigate?" Wei Shang asked.

"Our trail to Tazhai Village in Dongshan City has gone cold!" Li Weimin said with a grim expression.

"Why?" Wei Shang asked curiously.

“Almost everyone in Tazhai is surnamed Lin, and there is indeed a man named Lin Yaodong in Tazhai, but according to them, this Lin Yaodong did not have the time to commit the crime!” Li Weimin said.

"After you go down there, remember to contact Dezan! He's from Tazhai! Talk to him about the situation here!" Wei Shang said.

“But this is a bit taboo! Dezan is on the southwestern border, and we’re in a different province!” Li Weimin’s face was full of trouble.

“Why are you so stubborn? Dezan is from the Lin family of Tazhai! Can’t you use the pretext of an investigation?” Wei Shang said, pointing at Li Weimin.

“Alright, I’ll contact Dezan when I get back! It’s been a long time since we last talked!” Li Weimin said with a smile.

"Alright, you go back first. Focus on investigating this ecstasy matter! This stuff is much more difficult to detect. Don't let your guard down just because it's not as harmful as flour. According to feedback from Mingzhu, this stuff is very potent!" Wei Shang said.

"Yes!" Li Weimin replied.

After Li Weimin left, Wei Shang also stood up and walked to the window, looking at the police cars coming and going downstairs, pondering.

Hong Xin, who was sent to Shanghai, quickly adapted to her new role, following Wen Huixin around every day and doing Wen Huixin's original job.

A week later, Wen Huixin brought Hong Xin back to Dongzhou City, Hanjiang, because the complex project had been fully finalized and was ready to start.

This time, Jingzhou City plans to hold a groundbreaking ceremony, and several investors have sent representatives to attend.

As the project's general manager, Gao Qiqiang entrusted A Bao's shares to Wen Huixin for safekeeping. Wanli Industry's representative was Da D's wife, while the Tianqiao Association's representative was none other than Gao Jin.

“Mr. Wei Nong, I am Gao Jin from the Tianqiao Society! I’m in charge of Tsim Sha Tsui!” Standing in Wei Nong’s office, Gao Jin was as well-behaved as a primary school student, showing no trace of the demeanor of a Tsim Sha Tsui boss.

"Hello, I believe you know me! Although this is our first meeting, my family and the Lian family have been friends for generations, so feel at home here, don't be nervous!" Wei Nong said with a smile.

Although he didn't know the various leaders of the Skybridge Gang personally, he had heard of them and seen their photos.

Apart from Gao Jin, who was decent-looking, everyone else looked like a gangster boss, especially Crow, whom Wei Shang had mentioned more than once.

"Were you sent here to be stationed permanently, or just to attend a ceremony?" Wei Nong asked.

“I’ll head back after the ceremony! After all, the Skybridge Society is short-staffed right now. Situ went to South Korea, and the rest of us have our own things to do. I can’t stay away for too long,” Gao Jin said.

“Alright! You can stay here for two days, and I’ll have Xiao Gao treat you well!” Wei Nong said.

"Thank you, Mr. Wei Nong!" Gao Jin said.

In the afternoon, Gao Jin met Gao Qiqiang. The two became acquainted through Wei Nong's introduction.

“Brother Gao, we both have the same surname, maybe we were even family five hundred years ago! Once you’re in the mainland, relax, this place is like home!” Gao Qiqiang has been in the clothing business for years, and he’s become very skilled at dealing with people.

However, Gao Jin was a man of few words, so even though Gao Qiqiang was very enthusiastic, Gao Jin remained unsmiling.

As the boss of Tsim Sha Tsui, who wouldn't call Gao Jin "Brother Jin"? Not everyone is worth Gao Jin's flattery, after all, Gao Qiqiang doesn't share the Zhao surname!

“Xiao Gao, don’t worry about it, that’s just how A Jin is!” Sister-in-law D said as she walked over.

Originally, only one representative from Wanli Industry and Tianqiao Association would have been needed, but Lian Hu was not about to let go of such an opportunity to give face to the Zhao family.

That's why Gao Jin was sent over. As for why the Lian family wasn't sent?

This is also the reason why the two brothers, Xiao Erduo and his brother, are so frustrated. None of the descendants of the Lian family are any outstanding. They are really afraid that they will cause a big disaster after they come here. This is also why the Lian family is so close to the Zhao family!
