Chapter 327 [327] The Governor of Hong Kong has become a joke. In front of Lu Yaowen, all beings are equal and are only for fun.

Mount Kadoorie, inside Judy Tang’s villa.

After arriving in Hong Kong Island, the first person Lu Yaowen wanted to meet was his current right-hand man, Tang Judy.

“Awen, take a look at this newspaper.”

After seeing Lu Yaowen, Tang Judy raised the newspaper in her hand and spoke in a very calm tone.

“Sister Judy, there’s an old saying that a long absence is better than a new marriage. We haven’t seen each other for half a month. Why do you want me to read the newspaper as soon as I come back?”

Although Lu Yaowen said this, he still took the newspaper from Tang Judy as soon as possible.

“…”

Just one look and Lu Yaowen frowned slightly.

This newspaper, which was released yesterday, has the headline: “The advent of low-rent housing in the New Territories may affect the trend of the Hong Kong Island property market.”

The content is very simple. Lu Yaowen’s construction of a large number of low-rent housing in the New Territories will lead to a drop in housing prices in Hong Kong Island.

This cannot be said to be fake news, but the data given in it is too exaggerated. It says that if it is not stopped, the housing prices in Hong Kong Island will drop to the level of twenty years ago within three years.

No wonder Judy Tang was so anxious to let him read the newspaper. The Eagles were planning to pull the middle class who had already bought houses in Hong Kong Island into their ranks and become hostile to Lu Yaowen.

With the current housing prices in Hong Kong Island, the middle class in Hong Kong Island have bought their houses with loans taken out for decades. No one wants to see the house they bought at a high price drop to the price of 20 years ago, which means that all the wealth they have created for most of their lives will turn into bubbles.

“Ah Wen, Hong Kong TV will definitely follow up on this report. Once public opinion rises, anyone who has already bought a house in Hong Kong Island will oppose the low-rent housing you built in the New Territories.”

“At that time, we will be in great trouble.”

Tang Judy said slowly.

“This foreign guy Peng Jiakang is really capable.”

Lu Yaowen shook his head and smiled.

A Governor who knows how to mobilize the citizens of Hong Kong Island is indeed a huge trouble for Lu Yaowen.

He can strike hard against foreigners and foreign admirers, but he cannot strike hard against the middle class and ordinary citizens of Hong Kong Island.

Peng Jiakang’s move was indeed insidious enough and effective enough.

“We can either stop building rental buildings to stabilize Hong Kong Island’s housing prices, or continue to build rental buildings and compete with the Hong Kong Island middle class who have already bought houses…”

Although Tang Judy did not say the four words “draw a clear line”, her meaning was expressed clearly and unambiguously.

Continuing to build rental buildings would offend the middle class of Hong Kong Island, while stopping the construction of rental buildings would offend the indigenous people and low-income people in the New Territories. This is the “dilemma” that Peng Jiakang created for Lu Yaowen.

“There are less than one million people in Hong Kong Island who can afford to buy a house, but these less than one million people control 80% of Hong Kong Island’s wealth. If they go bankrupt, Hong Kong Island will go bankrupt.”

Tang Judy continued to add without waiting for Lu Yaowen to speak.

“The Eagles are using houses to drain away 80 percent of the wealth. We absolutely cannot allow this to happen.”

After Lu Yaowen pondered for a moment, he gave his answer.

“Awen, are you going to continue building rental buildings?”

Tang Judy immediately understood what Lu Yaowen meant.

“Yes, in a year at most, I can take the initiative to burst the real estate bubble blown up by the Eagles. Then I can use the blood sucked by the Eagles for more than a hundred years in Hong Kong Island to make up for the losses of the middle class in Hong Kong Island.”

Lu Yaowen spoke slowly, word by word.

“Awen, no matter what your decision is, I will always believe in you and support you.”

After Lu Yaowen finished speaking, Tang Judy immediately gave Lu Yaowen the strongest emotional value.

“Thank you, Sister Judy.”

Lu Yaowen gently held Tang Judy, whose belly was already visibly pregnant, into his arms and spoke softly.

“There is one more thing. A team of medical experts from the mainland arrived in Hong Kong Island a few days ago and has now started working at Mingxin Hospital. Their team leader told me that as long as we need them, the experts in the team can also serve as teachers.”

Tang Judy leaned on Lu Yaowen’s chest, listening to his strong heartbeat while reporting her “work” to him.

“The medical school campus should have been built by now, right?”

Lu Yaowen asked immediately.

“It’s completed, and has already enrolled more than 200 students. However, most of them are female students, and they are also studying nursing. There are still relatively few students studying medicine…”

Although Judy Tang did not finish her words, Lu Yaowen immediately understood what she meant. The quality of students in housing estate middle schools was still too poor. Even if the standards were lowered, most students still could not reach them.

“We will organize another exam. Anyone under the age of 25 in Hong Kong Island can take the exam. If you pass, Zhengyuan Education Group will give you a subsidy of 3,000 Hong Kong dollars every month.”

“As long as you are in the top 100 of your grade, you can get a scholarship of more than 20,000 Hong Kong dollars per year. Before enrollment, Zhengyuan Education Group will sign an employment agreement with the students, and as long as the students can graduate successfully, they can be arranged to work.”

When it comes to education, Lu Yaowen doesn’t have any good ideas, he can only relax the standards and improve the treatment.

He believes that as the conditions of housing estate primary and secondary schools improve, the source of students will also get better and better. In the future, schools such as the Hong Kong Polytechnic Institute, the Medical College, and the Teachers College will definitely be on the right track.

“it is good.”

Tang Judy nodded in response, and then continued, “Ms. Du Yexi is planning to hold a handover ceremony for the Medical College and the Teachers College on August 15th. She wants you to attend.”

“August 15th? It’s a good day indeed. Tell Ms. Du Yexi that I will definitely attend on time.”

Lu Yaowen said with a smile.

……

While Lu Yaowen was talking with Tang Judy, Song Zihao also came to the downstairs of an apartment building in Mong Kok, but he kept wandering at the entrance of the corridor and did not dare to step into the apartment building.

He wanted to meet his younger brother Song Zijie immediately, but he was also afraid to meet his younger brother Song Zijie.

After hesitating for a long time, Song Zihao turned around and walked towards Temple Street not far from the building, ready to have a couple of drinks to give himself courage before going to look for his brother.

Soon, Song Zihao arrived at Temple Street.

“?”

Looking at the clean and orderly street in front of him, Song Zihao subconsciously glanced at the street sign erected beside the street, on which the words “Temple Street” were clearly written.

However, the scene before him was completely different from the Temple Street in Song Zihao’s impression. In his impression, Temple Street was a mixed bag, with tables, chairs and benches of various food stalls placed randomly, and all kinds of sewage and dirty water were randomly spilled on the street.

According to his memory, Song Zihao walked to the late-night snack shop he used to frequent. Looking at the words “Wang Ji” on the sign, Song Zihao was 100% sure that this was Temple Street.

“Boss, a serving of dry fried beef noodles.”

Song Zihao walked into the late-night snack shop, looked at the newly renovated store, and asked with a smile: “Boss, business has been good recently, have you renovated the store?”

“Yes, Mr. Lu paid for us to repair the sewers and sewage pipes, making Temple Street so clean. If my store is still in tatters, wouldn’t it be embarrassing for me?”

The boss replied with a smile while stir-frying the beef noodles.

Then, without waiting for Song Zihao to speak, the boss continued: “From your tone, are you a regular customer? You look familiar to me.”

“Yes, I used to come here often. I stayed away for many years and just returned to Hong Kong Island recently.”

Song Zihao replied with a smile.

“Oh, no wonder I thought it looked so familiar.”

The smile on the boss’s face grew even wider.

‘Zhiqua~’

At this time, the door of the late-night snack shop was pushed open, and a young man in a flowered shirt said with a smile: “Uncle Wang, thirty servings of dry fried beef noodles, still the old rules.”

“no problem.”

The late-night snack shop owner responded immediately.

After the young man finished speaking, he immediately turned and left.

“Are these people part of a gang?”

Song Zihao asked ‘casually’.

“He Liansheng, don’t be fooled by the colorful clothes he wears. He actually graduated from a decent university and works in the accounting company next door.”

The late-night snack shop owner replied with a smile.

“He’s in a gang and works in an accounting firm?”

Song Zihao was a little confused.

“Yes, He Liansheng now has an accounting firm and a legal consulting firm. The price is very low. I ask them to help me sort out my accounts every six months to facilitate tax filing.”

The owner of the late-night snack shop said with a smile as he casually poured the steaming dry-fried beef noodles into a plate.

“?”

Song Zihao felt that he had been away from Hong Kong for not just a year, but ten years. Has the society developed to this point now?
Not only do they collect protection fees, but they also repair sewers and build sewage pipes. They even allow industries like accounting firms and law firms to get involved. Is this still a society?

“Let me tell you, the accounting firm of Heliansheng has been working overtime these past two days to settle the accounts of various gangs. Normally, they leave work at a set time.”

The owner of the late-night snack shop placed the plate in front of Song Zihao, said this, then returned to the stove and started stir-frying beef noodles frantically.

“…”

After hearing what the late-night snack shop owner just said, Song Zihao was completely stunned.

The current He Liansheng is nominally a social association, but in fact it has become a large company involved in multiple industries. When he thinks about the fact that his younger brother Song Zijie is teaching at school,

Song Zihao felt that his brain was not enough. What exactly did Lu Yaowen want to build He Liansheng into?
Deeply confused, Song Zihao hurriedly finished his fried beef noodles and even forgot to drink the wine. He left Wang Ji Late Night Snack Shop. He planned to take a good stroll around Temple Street and Portland Street to see what Hong Kong Island has become.

The next half hour or so was an eye-opener for Song Zihao. He had never seen such a “law-abiding” Hong Kong Island in his life.

until.

‘Boom~’

A young man bumped into Song Zihao who was looking around.

“Sorry, sorry.”

Song Zihao immediately apologized to the young man.

“Keep your eyes open when walking!”

The young man replied unhappily and was about to turn and leave.

Just at this time, a handsome man lazily said: “Kuaishou Zhang, I remember I told you a few days ago that this section of the road is under my protection, so don’t cause trouble here.”

After several months of training, Guan Zu successfully “graduated” from the Heyi Martial Arts School and came to Bolan Street to work on his own.

“Brother Zu, I just couldn’t help it and did it subconsciously.”

The young man who bumped into Song Zihao just now looked at Guan Zu with a smirk on his face. After saying this, he immediately handed a briefcase to Song Zihao: “I’m sorry, sir.”

Song Zihao looked at the familiar wallet in front of him, and then he realized that this guy was a “finch”. He must have seen him looking around and chose him as his target.

Thinking of this, Song Zihao burst out laughing. He was indeed shocked tonight, so much so that his vigilance dropped seriously. After getting his wallet back, Song Zihao looked at Guan Zu and said with a smile, “Brother, thank you very much.”

“You’re welcome.”

Guan Zu said something to Song Zihao, then said to Kuaishou Zhang: “Do you want to report to the Yau Ma Tei Police Station next door by yourself, or should I take you there?”

“Don’t bother Brother Zu, I’ll go there myself.”

Kuaishou Zhang said quickly, and then walked quickly towards the Yau Ma Tei Police Station.

“Aren’t you afraid that he will run away?”

Song Zihao looked at Kuaishou Zhang’s leaving back and asked curiously.

“Even if he has ten thousand guts, he wouldn’t dare to fool us and Liansheng’s people.”

Guan Zu smiled and replied, then continued, “Be careful when you walk next time. Even though we and Lian Sheng are here, there are still ‘Wen Que’ coming out to cause trouble from time to time.”

After saying this, Guan Zu turned around and left.

Then, he seemed to have thought of something, and turned to look at Song Zihao: “From your expression, I can tell that you just arrived in Hong Kong Island. The rules of Portland Street are different from before. You should have fun and don’t wander around. It’s easy to be taken advantage of.”

“Just find a roadside stall and spend ten yuan to buy a ‘data sheet’ that contains information about all the prostitutes on Portland Street.”

After saying this, Guan Zu cursed in a low voice: “These losers can have free sex with prostitutes every day and make money. Sooner or later, they will become impotent.”

After saying that, Guan Zu turned around and left again.

“…”

Looking at Guan Zu’s leaving back, Song Zihao felt that he might really be eliminated from Hong Kong Island.

He followed Guan Zu’s suggestion and bought some “information”. He definitely didn’t do it for fun, he just wanted to broaden his horizons.

Looking at the name and address above, as well as the brief comments like “big breasts, long legs” at the end, Song Zihao couldn’t help but sigh that with such means, the ladybugs in Hong Kong Island would probably be “lucky enough to stay in Portland Street” every day.

Song Zihao walked around Portland Street and Temple Street for two hours. After seeing the size and grandeur of the Golden Phoenix Nightclub, Song Zihao stopped a taxi and said, “Let’s go to Mong Kok.”

After getting into the taxi, Song Zihao turned his head to look out the window, seeing a bustling street scene, and recalled what he had seen in the past two hours.

At this moment, Song Zihao had only one feeling in his heart: It was really great to have Lu Yaowen in Hong Kong, and it was really great to work with Lu Yaowen.

More than ten minutes later, Song Zihao once again returned to the downstairs of the apartment building where Song Zijie lived. This time, Song Zihao did not hesitate for a moment, and walked into the corridor step by step.

At this time, in the Yijian Apartment on the ninth floor.

“Arou, just sit still and let me clean up.”

Song Zijie, who was washing dishes, saw his wife Zhong Rou wiping the table and hurriedly said.

“Ajie, I have no problem wiping the table.”

Zhong Rou’s belly is already very big and she will give birth in four months.

Now Song Zijie really wants to worship Zhong Rou.

“Go sit on the sofa first, I’ll go for a walk with you later.”

Song Zijie walked quickly to Zhong Rou’s side, took the rag from her hand, and said with a smile.

“You don’t let me do anything now. I feel like I’m almost a useless person.”

Zhong Rou looked angry.

“You are pregnant, so you should rest well now. You will be tired after the baby is born.”

Song Zijie said with a smile.

“You get off work at four o’clock every day now. How about the teaching tasks at school? I told you, I can do it alone.”

Zhong Rou changed the subject.

“I told the dean about our family’s situation and he was very understanding. He helped me rearrange my schedule so that I could leave work an hour earlier every day.”

Song Zijie replied with a smile.

“Thanks to Mr. Lu for paying us teachers such a high salary, even someone like me who is on maternity leave can receive a basic salary of 2,000 Hong Kong dollars every month. You should put more effort into your work at school.”

Zhong Rou taught.

“Don’t worry, I have not missed a single class. I will definitely not let down every penny of the salary Mr. Lu has given me.”

Song Zijie laughed.

Then, Song Zijie continued, “The first phase of the security company’s housing will be delivered in a year. I have already found out the news. Married employees like me with children can jump the queue to choose a house. Then we can live in a big house.”

“Then we must work harder to repay Mr. Lu.”

Zhong Rou said seriously.

‘Dong dong dong~’

Just then, a knock on the door interrupted the conversation between Song Zijie and Zhong Rou.

“I’ll open the door.”

After Song Zijie said this, he quickly walked to the gate and opened it.

“…”

After seeing the person coming, Song Zijie was stunned.

“Ajie, long time no see.”

Song Zihao also pondered for a moment before slowly saying this sentence.

“Brother? When did you return to Hong Kong Island? Why didn’t you tell us in advance?”

After hearing Song Zihao’s voice, Zhong Rou glanced at the gate. When she found out that the person coming was Song Zihao, she immediately asked with a smile.

Lu Yaowen handed all the gifts that Song Zihao had asked someone to bring back from the Bear Country to Zhong Rou, and he had done Zhong Rou’s work in advance.

Zhong Rou had always respected her elder brother Song Zihao. After learning about Song Zihao’s experiences in recent years and seeing Song Zijie occasionally mentioning Song Zihao’s conflicted look, she made up her mind to help the brothers resolve their conflicts.

“I just returned to Hong Kong Island, too. Ah Rou, when will the baby be born?”

Song Zihao looked at Zhong Rou’s big belly, his eyes filled with deep concern.

“The due date is at the end of the year.”

Zhong Rou replied with a smile.

“Only four months then?”

The smile on Song Zihao’s face became brighter and brighter. He looked at Song Zijie who was standing in front of him and said with emotion: “Ajie, I didn’t expect that you will be a father soon.”

“Are you done? Can we go now?”

Song Zijie said coldly after hearing what Song Zihao said.

“husband……”

After hearing what Song Zijie said, Zhong Rou immediately tried to persuade him, but before she could finish her words, Song Zihao interrupted her: “Ajie, it is my elder brother who is sorry for you and for father. I apologize to you.”

After saying that, Song Zihao bowed deeply to Song Zijie.

Looking at Song Zihao’s appearance, Song Zijie’s eyes flashed, and he forced his head to turn away his gaze from Song Zihao in front of him.

“Ajie, I can assure you that I have done everything with a clear conscience during the year I worked with Mr. Lu. I will continue to do things with integrity in the future. Please believe me.”

Song Zihao looked at Song Zijie sincerely and said slowly.

“…”

Song Zijie looked at Song Zihao deeply, then turned and walked into the kitchen to continue washing dishes without saying a word the whole time.

“Brother, come in and sit down.”

Zhong Rou immediately walked forward and pulled Song Zihao in.

“Arou, please don’t move. I’ll go in by myself.”

Seeing this, Song Zihao hurriedly said that he was even more cautious than Song Zijie towards Zhong Rou.

“Brother, don’t be so surprised. I’m not that delicate. Let’s go sit in the living room.”

Zhong Rou said with a smile.

At this time, the Hong Kong Island TV’s “Political Questioning” program was being broadcast on TV.

On the screen, the host asked a foreigner: “Mr. Thomas, when do you think the rental buildings in the New Territories will reach a certain scale before it will affect the housing prices in Hong Kong Island…”

‘Pa~’

When Zhong Rou heard this, she immediately changed the channel to the wireless TV station.

“These foreigners have bad intentions. They want to slander Mr. Lu, who is such a good person. They want ordinary people like us to empty our pockets and buy the buildings they built.”

Zhong Rou said with an unhappy look on her face.

“What’s going on? Mr. Lu is still in the real estate business?”

Now Song Zihao feels that he will not be surprised even if Lu Yaowen sets up a school or opens a hospital. This is not the leader of a society at all; it is simply a plan to take over the life of the people of Hong Kong Island.

“Well, Mr. Lu built a lot of rental buildings in the New Territories, renting them to Hong Kong Island residents at very low prices. In addition, he also built a lot of primary schools, middle schools, and universities in the northern New Territories for the children of ordinary citizens to study.”

“Ajie and I are both teachers at Southeast Middle School now. Brother, you don’t know that the teaching quality of those schools was ridiculously poor. No wonder many students joined the clubs before graduation…”

Listening to Zhong Rou praising Lu Yaowen, Song Zihao felt a little numb.

“What are you doing for Lu Yaowen?”

At this time, Song Zijie, who had finished washing the dishes, also walked into the living room, looked at Song Zihao and asked.

“I help Mr. Lu with foreign trade business.”

Song Zihao gave a general answer.

“…”

Song Zijie glanced at Song Zihao, obviously he did not fully believe Song Zihao’s answer.

At this time, Zhong Rou said, “Go get a set of mattresses so that big brother can rest early.”

“what?”

Song Zijie was a little confused. He had already made a huge concession by letting Song Zihao come in, and now he wanted Song Zihao to sleep at home.

Song Zijie really wanted to say to his wife, “Don’t go too far.”

“What, you don’t want to take it? Do you want me to get it?” Zhong Rou was about to stand up while speaking.

“Arou, I’ll just find a hotel outside to stay in. No need to bother you.”

Song Zihao quickly held Zhong Rou down and said with a smile.

“No, brother, you only come back to Hong Kong Island once in such a long time, how can I let you stay in a hotel?”

Zhong Rou just wanted to resolve the conflict between Song Zihao and Song Zijie, so naturally she would not let Song Zihao live outside.

“I’ll get it.”

Seeing that his wife was so insistent, Song Zijie could only do as Zhong Rou instructed.

After all, Zhong Rou is the one with the most say in the entire Song family.

“Brother, Ajie is a man with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. If you get to know him more and get used to him, he will naturally stop being angry with you.”

Looking at Song Zijie’s leaving back, Zhong Rou whispered to Song Zihao.

“Arou, thank you.”

There was a hint of emotion in Song Zihao’s eyes.

“Brother, I have received your gifts. I know you really care about Ajie. In fact, Ajie loves you very much. He doesn’t want to be a stranger to you for the rest of his life. I also don’t want you two brothers to be so painful and entangled for the rest of your lives.”

Zhong Rou said slowly.

After hearing Zhong Rou’s words, Song Zihao’s eyes were filled with emotion. He thanked Zhong Rou for being so well-educated and also thanked Lu Yaowen for taking such good care of his brother and sister-in-law.

That night, Song Zihao lay on the sofa in the living room. Although he closed his eyes, he couldn’t fall asleep.

In the room, Song Zijie was also tossing and turning, unable to sleep at all.

“Ajie, my elder brother must not be asleep outside. You might as well go out and have a chat with him. I believe you know how much he cares about you. We are being taken care of so much probably because Mr. Lu did this for my elder brother. Before, I…”

Zhong Rou whispered that she had received a gift from Song Zihao.

“Arou, I’m not a fool. With Mr. Lu’s current strength, it would be easy for him to find out the relationship between me and… and Big Brother, and to find out my former undercover identity. He didn’t do anything to me, it must be because of Big Brother’s face.”

“I just……”

When Song Zijie said this, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

He still couldn’t let go of his knot.

“When Mr. Lu sent someone to deliver my eldest brother’s gift to me, he also gave me a document and said that he would show it to me when my eldest brother came back to see me…”

While Zhong Rou was speaking, she was trying to get up with some difficulty. Seeing this, Song Zijie quickly got up and supported Zhong Rou.

Soon, the table lamp beside the bed was turned on, and Song Zijie was flipping through a document in his hand, his eyes full of confusion and self-blame.

Immediately, he walked out of the room quickly, looked at Song Zihao lying on the sofa, and said slowly: “Brother, you were framed, why didn’t you tell me?”

Song Zijie had always thought that everything Song Zihao had done before was all his own fault because he was greedy for money, but he never expected…

“Ajie, no matter what, everything is caused by me. If I had been a law-abiding citizen from the beginning, the things that happened later would not have happened.”

Song Zihao opened his eyes and whispered.

“Brother, I have been working under Mr. Lu’s name for so long, and I have learned a truth: there is no pure black and white in this world.”

“Like Mr. Lu, he is the leader of a gang, a mafia boss. I even helped him to kill people and seize territory. Logically speaking, he is a pure bad guy.”

“But look at Hong Kong Island now, especially the sites managed by Liansheng. For the people living in these sites, if anyone dares to say Mr. Lu is a bad person, they will definitely teach that person how to speak properly.”

At this point, Song Zijie walked up to Song Zihao and said softly, “Brother, let’s not talk about the past. From now on, we brothers will only look forward.”

“it is good!”

After hearing what Song Zijie said, Song Zihao’s eyes suddenly lit up, and his eyes were full of joy.

At the same time, Song Zihao secretly swore in his heart that he would die for Lu Yaowen in the future, even if it meant sacrificing his own life.

“You two brothers have reconciled, so you should celebrate, right? Why don’t we go to Temple Street for a midnight snack?”

At this time, Zhong Rou’s voice reached the ears of the two brothers Song Zihao and Song Zijie.

“no!”

Song Zijie and Song Zihao immediately responded in unison.

“Wife, you are pregnant, you should rest early. If you want to celebrate, we can celebrate at noon tomorrow.”

Song Zijie quickly added.

“Sister-in-law, that’s what I meant.”

Song Zihao values ​​his unborn nephew even more than his biological father Song Zijie.

“Brothers are different. You two can talk slowly. I won’t disturb you.”

After saying this with a smile, Zhong Rou returned to the bedroom and locked the door.

That night, Song Zihao and Song Zijie talked a lot.

Song Zijie told him everything about his life in the security company and school, while Song Zihao was more vague, saying only that he was helping Lu Yaowen deal with the Russians in the bear country.

Song Zijie also understood the rules and did not ask Song Zihao what he was doing specifically, but just asked him to be careful.

“Ajie, our Song family owes Mr. Lu a favor, and we can only do our best to repay it. I plan to stay with you for two more days, then go back to the Mao Xiong Country and come back when Arou is about to give birth.”

Song Zihao’s tone was filled with infinite gratitude towards Lu Yaowen.

“Brother, in these few months, please come up with a name for my and Arou’s child.”

Song Zijie knew his elder brother’s temper and did not try to keep Song Zihao.

“Okay, I will definitely think of a good name for my nephew.”

A bright smile appeared on Song Zihao’s face.

The next day, in the morning, Song Zihao contacted Lu Yaowen.

“Brother Wen, I plan to return to the Bear Country the day after tomorrow…”

Song Zihao explained his plan in detail.

“Ah Hao, congratulations on getting back together with your brother. In fact, you can stay in Hong Kong Island for a while and return to the Bear Country after your brother’s wife has a baby.”

Lu Yaowen replied with a smile.

“Brother Wen, thank you for your concern. I can’t stay in Hong Kong Island. I will return to Hong Kong Island when my sister-in-law is about to give birth.”

Song Zihao immediately rejected Lu Yaowen’s proposal.

“I have a vacant villa in Kowloon Tong. You can ask your brother and sister-in-law to move in.”

Lu Yaowen has always been very generous to “excellent employees” like Song Zihao.

……

In the following days, Hong Kong Island’s television stations and newspapers under the “Greek Faction” continued to analyze the impact of Lu Yaowen’s construction of rental housing in the New Territories on Hong Kong Island’s housing prices, which was a pity for Hong Kong Island’s middle class.

Although this move of the foreigners was clever, they still overestimated the toughness of the “little Bolsheviks”. Unless the knife really fell on their heads, these middle-class people would never dare to openly oppose Lu Yaowen, the underground emperor of Hong Kong Island.

Governor’s Residence.

“Mr. Governor, should we add a little more fuel to the fire?”

Apparently, McLeod is not happy with the ‘tranquility’ of the middle class on Hong Kong Island.

“No need. The housing prices in Hong Kong Island have not changed yet. Those people naturally dare not provoke Lu Yaowen. When we are about to leave Hong Kong Island, we will take action and directly destroy the real estate plate.”

Peng Jiakang chuckled.

“By then, the mainland will either have to use their meager foreign exchange to save the property market in Hong Kong, or face the resentment of the millions of Hong Kong middle class…”

McLego immediately understood what Peng Jiakang meant.

When Hong Kong was about to be returned, the real estate bubble in Hong Kong exploded, and the wealth of millions of middle-class people in Hong Kong was wiped out in an instant.

At the same time, they can also put the blame for the collapse of Hong Kong Island real estate on Lu Yaowen, and let Lu Yaowen bear the anger of Hong Kong Island citizens.

For this, the price the British Hong Kong government had to pay was just the bankruptcy of real estate businessmen such as Zhou Qiangguang and Liu Luanxiong.

Thinking of this, McGrath looked at Peng Jiakang with eyes full of admiration. He was worthy of being a figure who could make a name for himself in the political arena of his hometown, and he was indeed good at stirring up trouble.

“It’s not that simple, Mr. Chief Secretary. Hong Kong Island still has many high-quality assets that we don’t control. When the economy here collapses, we will be able to buy these assets at a low price. Hong Kong Island will still be ours.”

“However, by that time, the benefits of Hong Kong will be reaped by us Eagles, while the disadvantages will be borne by the people of the mainland.”

The smile on Peng Jiakang’s face became increasingly cold.

“Mr. Governor, I understand what you mean!”

McLego’s eyes were full of excitement.

“What we need to do now is to continue to pretend to be a people-friendly official in front of Hong Kong Islanders and sell all the land in Hong Kong Island as soon as possible. We will first eat up all the meat of Hong Kong Island and then suck out its marrow.”

Peng Jiakang gave instructions.

……

On the other side, at the Peninsula Hotel, in the suite on the top floor.

“Mr. Lu!”

Henry looked at Lawrence Lu, who was sitting in front of him, with an unusually respectful expression.

He knew very well that the reason he could become a famous figure in the foreign circle of Hong Kong Island and have a quality of life that was worthy of a viscount or even a duke was all because of the gift of the man in front of him.

This was also the first time that he was summoned by Lu Yaowen after he became a big celebrity in the white circle of Hong Kong Island. Henry was still a little nervous.

“Henry, relax, sit down.”

Lawrence Lu seemed to see through Henry’s feelings at the moment, patted the sofa beside him, and said with a smile.

“Mr. Lu, what can I do for you?”

Henry sat down in front of Lawrence Lu carefully and asked immediately.

“Henry, I have seen your efforts over the past six months. I was not wrong about you.”

After hearing what Lawrence Lu said, Henry hurriedly said, “It’s all thanks to Mr. Lu’s cultivation.”

“I need you to get to know more senior officials of the Hong Kong British government as soon as possible. Don’t worry about arousing other people’s suspicion. Someone will cooperate with you.”

Lu Yaowen has already informed the He family and the Luo family, and asked them to bring Henry to a higher circle and use his noble status as Viscount of Eagle Country to do more things.

“Mr. Lu, what do you need me to do?”

After more than half a year of training, Henry’s political sense had greatly improved compared to when he first arrived in Hong Kong Island, and he immediately understood the implication of Lu Yaowen’s words.

“Just like what we did before, drag those people into this. This time, there is no limit to your funding.”

Lu Yaowen spoke slowly, word by word.

“…”

Henry was slightly stunned, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. There was no upper limit on the funding. Did Lu Yaowen want to bribe the entire senior leadership of the British Hong Kong government?
“Mr. Henry, I have nothing but trust in you, please don’t let me down.”

Lu Yaowen looked at Henry who was a little dazed, and spoke again.

“Mr. Lu, I will definitely not let you down.”

Looking at Lawrence Lu with a smile on his face, Henry’s expression suddenly changed. He stood up and responded respectfully.

In Henry’s opinion, Lu Yaowen’s every move was full of strong majesty, which made him have to be 100% alert every minute and every second in front of Lu Yaowen.

‘Ring ring ring~’

At this time, a phone rang.

“Brother Wen, a war has started in Babylon.”

Lu Yaowen picked up the phone and pressed the answer button, and Sima Nianzu’s voice came from the receiver.

“A-Zu, it’s your turn to perform.”

The smile on Lu Yaowen’s face became brighter and brighter.

In the next two months, the situation in the Middle East developed almost exactly as Lu Yaowen remembered. After Babylon occupied Kuwait, it resisted the pressure from the Western group led by America and tried to take over the fat piece of Kuwait.

Oil prices also rose along with Babylon’s tough attitude. Lu Yaowen asked Sima Nianzu to go long on oil in advance, allowing Sima Nianzu to earn billions of dollars in just two months. The speed at which he made money was second only to the speed at which the Federal Reserve printed money.

During these two months, Luk Yao-wen was not idle. While senior officials of the British Hong Kong government, such as Peng Jiakang, were establishing their people-friendly image, Luk Yao-wen was also establishing his image in Kowloon, Hong Kong Island, and especially in the New Territories.

The opening of nine estate primary schools, seven estate secondary schools, as well as professional colleges such as the Hong Kong Polytechnic Institute, the Teachers’ College, and the Medical College raised Lu Yaowen’s image among the middle and lower class citizens of Hong Kong Island to the highest level.

On the other hand, just when the world’s attention was focused on the Middle East, an incident occurred in the United States that shocked the United States, Hong Kong Island, and even the whole of Europe.

The Iron Lady, Prime Minister of the Eagle Country, announced her resignation as Prime Minister and held a premature Conservative Party leadership election in an attempt to suppress opposition to her within the Conservative Party.

The result was shocking. The Iron Lady, who had been in power for 11 years, failed to defeat her opponent in the first round of elections and was forced to withdraw from the second round under tremendous pressure.

In the end, Peng Jiakang’s good friend, John Mason, the Chancellor of the Eagle Country’s Cabinet, had the last laugh and became the new Prime Minister of the Eagle Country.

On the day John Mason took office, Peng Jiakang was overjoyed at the Governor’s Residence. After receiving the news that John Mason would become Prime Minister, he immediately called Mason to congratulate him.

“Congratulations, John.”

After the call was connected, Peng Jiakang said with a smile.

“Patton, thank you for your congratulations. You have done a good job in Hong Kong Island. Hong Kong Island is very important to our Eagle Country. After I take office, I will give you more power and more support.”

John Mason’s voice came from the receiver.

Just by hearing this voice, Peng Jiakang could feel how happy his old friend was.

“Thank you, John.”

Peng Jiakang smiled and nodded. This was exactly what he was waiting for.

As long as John Mason can give him greater support, Peng Jiakang will have the confidence to make more achievements in Hong Kong Island. At that time, he can completely rely on his excellent “resume” in Hong Kong Island to return to the Eagle Country’s political arena.

After some pleasantries, John Mason hung up the phone.

“Beep, beep, beep~”

Hearing the busy tone coming from the receiver, Peng Jiakang slowly put down the phone, pondered for a moment, and called his secretary Richard to his side.

“Richard, notify all the celebrities in Hong Kong Island, including Lu Yaowen, and invite them to attend the dinner held by our Governor’s Mansion tomorrow night.”

Peng Jiakang wanted everyone in Hong Kong Island to know that the current Prime Minister of the Zu family cabinet was his good friend, Peng Jiakang, and then use John Mason’s power to enhance his own power as the Governor of Hong Kong.

“clear.”

Richard understood immediately.

……

The next night, the Governor’s Residence was decorated magnificently, making the banquet appear very solemn and grand. It was obvious that Peng Jiakang had put a lot of thought into this attempt to save the relationship.

The news about these wealthy families in Hong Kong was not much slower than that of Peng Jiakang. After John Mason was elected as the new Prime Minister of Eagle Country, these people received the news quickly and also soon learned about the news about Peng Jiakang and John Mason.

It can be said that tonight, except for the “mainland faction” people who did not come, all other people from the top circles in Hong Kong Island, without exception, all came to attend this banquet.

“Mr. Governor!”

“Mr. Governor!”…

In the banquet hall, from the moment Peng Jiakang showed up, there were voices of greeting all the way.

Peng Jiakang also walked to the stage of the banquet hall with a smile on his face. After taking the microphone handed to him by Richard, Peng Jiakang said with a smile: “Everyone should already know that the Zu family has elected a new prime minister. This new prime minister was once my colleague and also my good friend.”

“I believe that under his leadership, the Zu family will surely return to glory, and Hong Kong Island will surely become better under his leadership.”

‘Papapapa~’

As Peng Jiakang finished speaking, everyone present clapped their hands violently, and thunderous applause suddenly broke out in the banquet hall.

“Bang, bang, bang~”

Just at this moment, a huge sound of firecrackers reached the ears of everyone present, causing all the top figures in Hong Kong Island to tremble slightly in fear.

If it wasn’t at the Governor’s House, they would have thought that a terrorist had opened fire.

The smile on Peng Jiakang’s face disappeared instantly. He turned his head and glanced at Richard. The secretary of the Governor of Hong Kong immediately understood what he meant and quickly left the banquet hall.

A few minutes later, Richard walked back to Peng Jiakang’s side and whispered, “Mr. Governor, it was Lu Yaowen who set off firecrackers at the gate of the Governor’s Residence.”

“Lu Yaowen!”

Peng Jiakang snorted coldly, then quickly left the banquet hall with Richard. He wanted to see in person what tricks Lu Yaowen was playing.

After Peng Jiakang left the banquet hall, the news that Lu Yaowen set off firecrackers at the gate of the Governor’s Residence spread at lightning speed, not knowing whether it was intentional or unintentional.

These people from the top circles in Hong Kong Island were not immune to gossip and left the banquet hall one after another, wanting to see the confrontation between the Governor, the number one foreigner, and Luk Yiu-man, the number one Chinese.

“Boom boom boom~”

By the time Peng Jiakang reached the entrance of the Governor’s Residence, his eyes went dark. He saw more than a dozen ‘lions’ jumping up and down, and two ‘dragons’ playing with a pearl. It was extremely lively.

In addition, there were eight or nine Mercedes-Benz cars lined up in a row, and dozens of sturdy men were staring straight in the direction of their Governor’s Residence.

Soon, Peng Jiakang saw Lu Yaowen leaning against the Mercedes-Benz car, smoking with a smile on his face. At this moment, Lu Yaowen seemed to have noticed Peng Jiakang’s gaze, and slowly walked towards Peng Jiakang step by step.

“Mr. Governor, are you satisfied with the celebration ceremony I arranged for you?”

Lu Yaowen asked with a smile.

If you, Peng Jiakang, want to gain face by using John Mason, then you should step on your face in front of all the “foreigners” and “locals” in Hong Kong Island.

“…”

Peng Jiakang clenched his fists, looked at Lu Yaowen deeply, and said coldly: “Mr. Lu, thank you for your trouble. We Eagles don’t have this kind of celebration ceremony. Please let these people leave.”

“Hey, Mr. Governor, you should know what the phrase ‘When in Rome, do as the Romans do’ means, right? You are the Governor of Hong Kong Island now, so of course you have to do things according to the local rules of our Hong Kong Island.”

At this point, Lu Yaowen cast his eyes towards the people in Hong Kong’s top circles who followed Peng Jiakang out to watch the fun: “The Governor is a foreigner, so it’s ok that he doesn’t understand the rules of Hong Kong, but you Hong Kong people don’t understand the rules of Hong Kong either?”

“Or have you learned so much from the West that you’ve even forgotten who your ancestors were?”

“…”

After hearing Lu Yaowen’s indirect criticism, almost all the wealthy businessmen attending the gathering at the Governor’s House were furious. Some of those with poor patience had their faces flushed red from holding it in.

But even after being slapped in the face in public, none of these people dared to say anything back, and no one even dared to look Lu Yaowen in the eye. Many of them turned aside and deliberately avoided Lu Yaowen’s sight.

Although they came to flatter the Governor, they knew very well that whether they admitted it or not, Luk Yiu-wen was now the undisputed number one among the Chinese in Hong Kong Island.

They were good at flattering the Governor, but they did not want to offend Luk Yao-wen. They knew very well that in front of Luk Yao-wen, they were no different from ordinary people and were all vulnerable.

“Mr. Lu, are you finished?”

Seeing that Lu Yaowen was about to trample the face of the Governor of Hong Kong into the ground, Peng Jiakang said coldly: “Now that you’re done, come in and have a drink together.”

“Hahaha, Mr. Governor, I really want to drink some wine from your Governor’s Mansion, but you don’t seem to welcome me very much here.”

When Lu Yaowen said this, he looked around the room again, and still no one dared to look him in the eye.

“I won’t disturb your fun anymore. Goodbye!”

After saying this, Lu Yaowen turned and left. Everyone, including Peng Jiakang, could only watch the man who came to the Governor’s residence to slap the Governor in the face leave.

However, when Lu Yaowen opened the car door and prepared to get in, he seemed to think of something, turned his head to the lion and dragon dancers, and said with a smile: “The Governor of Hong Kong has a happy event today, you must perform until the Governor is satisfied before leaving.”

After saying that, Lu Yaowen got into the Mercedes-Benz sedan and drove away under the “escort” of several Mercedes-Benz sedans.

“…”

After Lu Yaowen left, everyone present looked at Peng Jiakang, wanting to see the Governor’s reaction.

As a result, to everyone’s shock, Peng Jiakang did not react at all. He turned around with a cold face and walked towards the Governor’s Residence, allowing the lion and dragon dance team to jump around in front of the gate and hit him, Peng Jiakang, in the face.

Peng Jiakang actually wanted to “fart”, but given the current situation, they, the Eagle people, have to endure it, no matter how aggrieved it is.

After much thought, Peng Jiakang could only endure the situation for a while and keep calm. If he took a step back, the world would be more open.

But after Lu Yaowen made such a fuss, Peng Jiakang no longer had any intention of holding a dinner party.

This dinner party ended in embarrassment.

The story of Lu Yaowen going to Peng Jiakang’s house to slap him in the face spread throughout Hong Kong Island after the wealthy businessmen who attended the party left the Governor’s Residence that night.

Everyone knew that from that day on, Lu Yaowen was the undisputed number one person in Hong Kong Island, not only because he dared to slap the Governor of Hong Kong, Peng Jiakang, in the face in public, but also because he could slap the Governor of Hong Kong, Peng Jiakang, in the face in public!

Although there is only one letter difference between the two, the strength they represent is worlds apart. Anyone who can slap the Governor in the face in public and leave the Governor helpless is a figure who can turn the world upside down in Hong Kong Island.

Lu Yaowen is this person!
Peng Jiakang wanted to use John Mason to boost the morale of the “foreign faction”, but the result was counterproductive. Instead, Lu Yaowen became famous, and Peng Jiakang himself became a laughing stock among Hong Kong people.

After this “little episode” ended, Peng Jiakang became more “people-friendly” and took out half a day almost every day to “inspect the people’s sentiments in Hong Kong Island.”

Just a few days after Peng Jiakang was slapped in the face by Lu Yaowen, John Mason signed his first decree after becoming prime minister. The pound sterling will be officially included in the European monetary exchange rate system and maintain an exchange rate of 1:2.95 with the German mark, with fluctuations not exceeding six percent.

“The fat pig is finally in the cage.”

After hearing the news, Lu Yaowen’s smile was harder to suppress than AK’s.

What he had to do now was to accumulate strength, wait for the right time, and then let the Eagle people know what it meant to change the world…
