Chapter 68: Fake foreigners are busy socializing

After Xian Yaowen and Lu Dingtang exchanged greetings, Michelle took him to another place.

On the way, he kept recalling when and where he heard the name Lu Dingtang, but unfortunately he could not recall it at all. In his last life, when he frequently traveled to Hong Kong, the British Hong Kong government was already a thing of the past. He only recalled a few major historical events. The Hong Kong Governor and the first brother of the police force have relatively deep memories. The others are probably seen accidentally from some information and will not be remembered deliberately.

Lu Dingtang is now a political officer known as the "stepping stone to director-level civil servants." He has some impressions of the name. He can make a bold guess that Lu Dingtang will hold an important position in a certain department in the future, excluding the Governor of Hong Kong and the First Brother. There are not many options left, either the Chief Secretary or the Integrity System.

Whether he is the Chief Secretary or the Integrity Secretary, the current factory inspector already has good friendship value, so let’s start walking around first.

Giving away and receiving is just a trick. It is necessary to establish investment companies in several Commonwealth countries such as the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. Depending on the value of these big men, they can provide different levels of "life is not short of money" financial services, and the interests can be bundled. It's a great road.

Just as Xian Yaowen was making up his mind, Michelle, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, turned to him and said, "Xian, when will your factory open?"

"The official opening will take about two months. At that time, I will send an invitation to Miss Morgan and invite you to attend the opening ribbon-cutting ceremony."

"I will participate." Michelle raised her finger and pointed to a secluded place, "Let's go over and take a rest."

"OK."

The two came to a quiet place. Michelle took out a slender pipe from his hidden pocket, then took out a slender cigarette and inserted it into the pipe. He held it in his mouth with one hand and held it in his mouth. Slightly upturned.

Xian Yaowen took out the match, stepped forward to light it for her, and glanced at the cigarette butt.

"Good luck, feminist."

When tobacco first appeared, it became one of the themes of artistic expression, but it is a symbol of male identity and status. For centuries, cigarettes have been judged to be a men's thing and represent privilege.

In some works of art, smoking is often given a very strong symbolic meaning. Male smoking is often associated with inspiration, wisdom, and power. When smoking is associated with women, it is often used to highlight and strengthen the character's treachery and hypocrisy. So much so that the stereotype that women who smoke are “bad women” has been formed.

At the end of the last century, female writers, artists, and feminists emerged. They smoked themselves and incorporated elements of "women smoking" into their works to demonstrate their spirit of independence and freedom, and to accuse the inequality of women's inability to smoke freely. They wanted to To have the equal right to freely choose whether to smoke or not, smoking or not smoking is another matter.

By this century, smoking has become a symbol of the new women's movement, and holding cigarettes in their hands and dancing jazzy dance steps has become a typical feature of their fashionable lives. In order to increase sales, Lucky Strike cleverly made use of feminist trends and compared Lucky Strike cigarettes to Becoming the torch of freedom, women are not smoking cigarettes, but freedom and struggle.

Coincidentally, in the past ten years, film companies and directors have also focused on the marketing tool of "female smoking" and created many elegant images of female smoking.

Being a smoker begins with curiosity and ends with addiction. After several contacts, Xian Yaowen does not think that Michelle is a simple girl who smokes out of curiosity. This woman has deep thoughts. He probably has a little bit of struggle. The mentality is inside.

"Have you fallen into the conventional heir struggle for a long time? How powerful is the Morgan family? Is it worth it for me to serve as Michelle's adviser in the inheritance battle?"

Michelle exhaled a puff of smoke and asked casually: "Xian, do you like watching Western movies?"

"Did Miss Morgan invite me to watch a movie?" Xian Yaowen said with a smile.

Michelle gave Xian Yaowen a look that said, "I have a fiancé, and our relationship is very good."

"so?"

"I think it's a good idea to build a few theaters to show Western movies."

"Ms. Morgan wants to invest in the film and television industry?"

"Earn some installation fees."

"Miss Morgan wants to cooperate with me?"

"Let's talk some other time?" "Yes, but it's better to be later. I'm very busy recently."

The talk of building a theater can be true or false, and the offer of an olive branch is real. Goodwill must be released whether it is repeated or not.

"uh-huh."

At this point, the conversation between the two ended, leaving only two puffs of smoke floating quietly.

After a brief period of tranquility, Michelle took Xian Yaowen to meet two inspectors from the Sham Shui Po Police Station. A foreigner in his early twenties named Shi Lirong. He had some ideas about this one. He would probably become the first brother in the 70s. There will be trainee inspectors flocking to give gifts and shields.

The other one is Situ Zhiren, a Chinese detective inspector. Yao Mu and Liu Fu want to shout Sir when they see him.

Sin Yao-man had to admit that he had little knowledge of the Hong Kong police force. It turned out that many Chinese had squeezed into the high-level structure of the police force. From this, he was even more certain that the detective was just a chamber pot used by the British to use China to control China. You are a clown, you can definitely use the strategy of relying on foreign countries to interact with these people.

I believe that before long, he will become a "fake foreign devil" that police officers often mention with disdain.

After seeing two inspectors and more and more guests coming, Michelle made excuses to leave.

Xian Yaowen knew that the other party only had so much bait for the time being, and if he wanted to eat more delicious food, it would depend on his performance.

He has already integrated in, so it doesn’t matter if no one is with him. He has never been idle. He goes out to meet more people, but he also has choices and controls the number of times. It is not that he is not scrupulous about meat and vegetables, so as not to become a conspicuous bag and become a clown.

When he was busy, in the dark, Grace would keep her eyes on him from time to time. She could not help but be a little suspicious when she saw him working hard to blend in and how he could talk happily with other people easily.

If HSBC wants to include Xian Yaowen as a subject to be investigated, it will naturally launch an investigation into him. The life experience of "former Xian Yaowen" is not complicated and can be easily found out. Most of his actions after arriving in Hong Kong are traceable. Except for a large sum of pounds whose source was unclear, he was almost transparent to HSBC.

Grace had read his information and felt that his abilities did not match his growth trajectory. It was okay to be able to speak multiple languages. She knew only one or two Chinese language geniuses, or some people who learned languages ​​​​easier than treating guests to dinner. But the knowledge he displayed cannot be explained by genius. Some knowledge needs to be obtained in a specific environment. How did he obtain it?

Grace developed a very strong curiosity about Xian Yaowen.

Xian Yaowen was busy socializing and never noticed Grace observing him. When he was free, his eyes were attracted by a group of new guests.

A middle-aged man was accompanied by two young people, a man and a woman. The man was an old acquaintance, Zhou Xiaohuan, and the woman was also an old acquaintance, Zhou Xiaoniu. Both have the surname Zhou, and they can live together. The relationship between the two is obvious, but it is not known whether they were born from the same mother or from the same father.

"It seems that Zhou Xiaoniu and I are somewhat destined."

Xian Yaowen muttered, looked away from the Zhou family, glanced in the direction of Grace, and then walked to a secluded place holding the wine glass.

At this moment, he has no intention of getting close to Grace. She and Michelle are both members of the family that is the major shareholder of HSBC. Under the appearance of unity out of common interests, the relationship between the two may not necessarily be harmonious, and the situation is unclear. , it’s better not to rush to bet on both ends, lest both ends be displeased and be regarded as a loser.

As he thought, he only met Arthur Morse once at the banquet, and the other party did not talk to him. Although he was a little disappointed, he also felt at ease.

It doesn't matter if HSBC doesn't make any surprise moves, it doesn't have to be so tiring to deal with. If Arthur Morse forcefully supports him and things go bad, it basically means that the other party is not supporting a little friend, but raising a chamber pot that will soon be abandoned.

No matter how big a bowl he holds or how big a meal he eats, he is not worth HSBC's money now.

　I originally wanted to arrange a climax at a banquet at this time of release, and I wrote a few thousand words, but when I first tasted it, it felt not very logical, and it felt a bit like having fun for the sake of being happy, so I struggled over and over again and rewrote it into a short one. Dry version.

　　In this book, I still plan to try to be as close to the truth as possible and to be slightly obscene.
