Chapter 41: The Elite Circle of Hong Kong Island’s Wealthiest: The Seacity Club!

Today is Saturday, and Chen Hao can finally enjoy a proper day of rest.

He slept all the way until past 10 in the morning before getting up!

After waking up, washing, and freshening up, he practiced a set of Baduanjin (Eight Brocades Qigong), and his whole body felt much more relaxed!

At this moment, Nina, the virtuous wife archetype, had already prepared a lavish lunch.

The two of them chatted casually while eating.

"Nina, how is the progress of your lawsuit?" Chen Hao asked as he ate.

Nina picked up a piece of Chen Hao's favorite braised beef brisket and placed it in his bowl. "My lawyer has officially submitted the statement of claim against Chow Yun-fat and the crew of *Tiger on the Beat* to the court. Now we are just waiting to hear back from the court!"

"Hmm!"

"Lawsuits are particularly time-consuming. This case will probably take a while before it goes to trial!"

"That's fine too. It means you won't have to pay the breach of contract penalty so quickly!"

"If you win, you'll even be able to demand compensation from them!"

Chen Hao smiled.

"Brother Hao, it feels just like a dream!" Nina said with a dreamy expression.

"Why do you say that?" Chen Hao looked up at her.

"Everything that has happened these past few days feels just like a dream!"

"I never expected I would quit the entertainment industry so quickly!"

"Nor did I expect that in less than half a month, I would suddenly possess tens of millions in wealth and become a multimillionaire!"

"All of this feels so surreal, yet it is so real!"

Nina looked at Chen Hao with great excitement and asked, "Brother Hao, are you sure all of this is real?"

"Of course it's real!"

"If you don't believe me, let me pinch you to see if it hurts!"

With that, Chen Hao reached his right hand out toward Nina.

"Ah!!!"

Nina let out a shriek, quickly crossed her arms over her chest, and gave him a sideways glance. "Where are you trying to pinch?"

"Hehe, if not here, where else?" Chen Hao chuckled.

"I'm afraid of pain. You can't pinch me anywhere!" Nina glared at him.

After lunch, Chen Hao didn't idle about. He reorganized all of his stock trading experiences and data from the past week, summarized and analyzed them, and tried to predict when it would be a suitable time to make a massive bottom-fishing move!

As evening approached, Chen Hao's mobile phone suddenly rang.

Now that Chen Hao and Nina had money, Nina had bought him a mobile phone and helped him register a SIM card!

Chen Hao answered the call, and it turned out to be from Xiang Zhiqiu.

"Xiao Chen, I'm right near your place!"

"Come on out, I'm taking you somewhere!"

Xiang Zhiqiu said.

Nowadays, Xiang Zhiqiu's relationship with Chen Hao was growing increasingly close, and he had started affectionately calling Chen Hao "Xiao Chen"!

Meanwhile, Chen Hao respectfully referred to Xiang Zhiqiu as "Uncle Qiu"!

"Uncle Qiu, where are you taking me?" Chen Hao asked with some curiosity.

He remembered that Xiang Zhiqiu had mentioned yesterday that he would take him somewhere tonight.

"You'll know when we get there!"

"However, you should come out alone!"

"Miss Nina doesn't need to tag along." Xiang Zhiqiu reminded him.

"Alright then!" Chen Hao nodded and ended the call with Xiang Zhiqiu.

Then, he said to Nina, "Nina, Uncle Qiu said he's taking me somewhere. I'm stepping out for a bit and will be right back!"

"I want to go with you too!" Nina quickly said.

"Uh..."

"Uncle Qiu said he's only taking me..." Chen Hao hesitated.

"Hmph!"

"He must be taking you to some shady place!"

"At his age, he's still so playboy-like!" Nina huffed, looking displeased.

"Nina, you must be misunderstanding Uncle Qiu!"

"He's a respectable man, why would he take me to a shady place?"

"Stop letting your imagination run wild!" Chen Hao smiled.

"You men are all cut from the same cloth!" Nina unhappily sat down on the sofa, puffed out her cheeks, and turned her head away.

"Alright, don't be angry!"

"I'll just go for a quick second and come right back, mua!"

Chen Hao walked over to the sofa, bent down, and kissed Nina on the cheek, which finally coaxed a radiant smile out of her.

After that, he left the apartment and headed outside.

Sure enough, Xiang Zhiqiu's sedan was parked nearby.

He walked straight over and got into the car.

"Drive!"

As soon as Chen Hao got in, Xiang Zhiqiu instructed his driver to set off.

"Xiao Chen!"

"I've already managed to secure your permanent Hong Kong residency!"

"Here is your identity card!"

Xiang Zhiqiu pulled an ID card out of his suit pocket and handed it to Chen Hao.

"That's fantastic!"

"I finally have legal status in Hong Kong!"

Chen Hao took his ID card from Xiang Zhiqiu's hand, staring at it with intense excitement.

Now that he had legal status in Hong Kong, he no longer had to live in constant anxiety, worrying about being repatriated to the mainland by the Hong Kong authorities!

Moreover, with legal status, many things would no longer require troubling others.

Thanks to Xiang Zhiqiu, he had obtained legal status in Hong Kong so quickly and effortlessly!

He said to Xiang Zhiqiu with immense gratitude, "Uncle Qiu, thank you!"

"We're family now, why are you being so polite with me!"

"Oh, by the way, I also helped you open an account at Hang Seng Bank!"

"There are ten million deposited inside for you to use for the time being!"

"Once our current cooperation concludes, I will transfer all the money you deserve into this account."

Xiang Zhiqiu took out an ATM card and handed it to Chen Hao.

"Thank you!"

Chen Hao quickly accepted the card from Xiang Zhiqiu's hand.

Afterward, he tucked both the ATM card and his ID card safely into his pocket!

"By the way, Uncle Qiu, where on earth are you taking me today?" Chen Hao asked curiously.

Could it be that, just as Nina had guessed, Xiang Zhiqiu was really taking him to some disreputable place?

"Have you ever heard of the 'Haicheng Club'?" Xiang Zhiqiu asked casually.

"The Haicheng Club?"

Chen Hao was momentarily stunned, then nodded and said, "I've heard of it!"

In his past life, he had once read an article.

That article provided a detailed introduction to the life and experiences of Xiang Zhiqiu.

And that article had mentioned the "Haicheng Club"!

According to the article, the Haicheng Club was an elite circle of top tycoons in Hong Kong from the 1960s to the early 1990s!

The members of the Haicheng Club were basically all the premier billionaires of Hong Kong at the time!

The vast majority of them were real estate tycoons!

Xiang Zhiqiu was one of them as well!

Xiang Zhiqiu frequently attended the gatherings of the "Haicheng Club," where he gathered all kinds of insider information straight from the mouths of major real estate magnates!

Relying on this insider property information, he was always victorious whenever he traded in real estate stocks!
