Chapter 749
Wan Chai Police Station.
In the garden,
Wei Yingzi is chatting enthusiastically with Hu Huizhong as they walk.
"How about I introduce a boyfriend to you? His name is Ding Hu, he is Brother Zu's bodyguard."
Hu Huizhong immediately thinks of that agile fatty: "Him~~"
Wei Yingzi: "You've met."
Hu Huizhong smiles and nods: "Met, met yesterday when catching a robber."
Wei Yingzi laughs: "It's good that you've met. I've seen him at several gatherings; he's from the Northeast, heard he was a bodyguard for a big leader, and was later recruited here by Brother Zu. Currently, he has two identities: one is a domestic official identity, and the other is Brother Zu's personal bodyguard at the Five-Star Group in Hong Kong."
"Someone who can be a bodyguard for a big leader definitely won't have any problems with his character... it's just that I don't know if you'll like this type."
Hu Huizhong's personality belongs to the generous and atmospheric type, and she is 30 years old herself, it's really hard to get married if she doesn't, so she smiles: "Good, we can try to get in touch."
Wei Yingzi is delighted when she hears this: "Good! I'll arrange it for you immediately!"
"Yo~~~"
"Brother Hu, heard you have someone you like, and it's a police flower~~~"
"Brother Hu~~"
"Wow, Brother Hu is too strong!"
When eating in the canteen, Chen Yongren, Fang Zhanbo, and the others run to Ding Hu one by one, joining in the excitement with excitement on their faces.
Ding Hu: "............"
Black lines hang down from his forehead.
This gossip spread too fast!
How can you people be so gossipy, don't you have work to do? Is work not busy enough? Brother Zu, hurry up and arrange work for them!
Wait, Brother Zu seems to be the culprit.
Damn!
And,
Ding Hu is even more afraid that Hu Huizhong won't like him?
You guys are spreading it so crazily.
It's estimated that every time they meet, it will be awkward.
Ding Hu glares at these gossipers and says righteously:
"I tell you, in my eyes, there is only work, there is no woman at all!"
"Women will only affect the speed of my work!"
"Work, this is the task given to me by the Party and the country!"
Wow~~~
Chen Yongren and the others lean back in unison.
Is it true or false?
At this time, Gao Jin walks over and says loudly: "Brother Hu, my wife called and said Inspector Hu has already agreed to go on a date with you!"
Ding Hu stands up abruptly: "Really?"
Surprise!
Chen Yongren and the others despise him in unison:
"Tch!!"
"Who was it that just said there were no women in their eyes?"
"Righteous on the lips, but actually already heart-fluttering!"
Ding Hu turns a deaf ear; what do your 'rumors' matter? What's more important than finding a wife!
A new day,
Saturday, Ding Hu and Hu Huizhong are both off, so Sister Ruan Mei, Wei Yingzi, and others planned this date.
Location: Ocean Park.
This park was funded by the Hong Kong Jockey Club and provided with free land by the government, costing HK$150 million. It officially opened to the public on January 15, 1977.
Currently, it can be considered the largest park in Hong Kong.
10:00 AM.
It is October, the weather is clear, the temperature is 28 degrees, and the temperature is suitable.
Hu Huizhong has short hair, wears a yellow dress, and has light makeup on.
Ding Hu sees her from afar in the crowd, and his heart beats like a hundred-ton king constantly colliding back and forth.
"Hu hu hu hu hu hu..." Ding Hu is so nervous that sweat comes out.
Not far away,
Several groups of people hide behind the bushes.
They are all Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu and the others, plus the wives' group... because there are too many people, they are divided into several bushes.
"How can you guys be so gossipy!" Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu looks at Gong Wei, Sister Ruan Mei, Fang Ting, Ah Xing, and Gong Wei with contempt.
As for Le Huizhen? She ran off to interview news.
"Brother Zu, aren't you the same?" Gong Wei despises him.
"I am the boss, this is caring about the life happiness of my little brother!" Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu says righteously.
"I am caring about the happiness of my brother." Gong Wei learns.
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu looks at Ding Hu's nervous appearance and feels a sense of hating iron for not becoming steel: "He's usually fierce when fighting, why is he so soft when seeing a woman!"
Gong Wei: "Probably because he likes her too much."
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu shakes his head: "No, I have to disenchant Ah Hu, let him know that goddesses also poop."
Everyone: "............"
You're awesome!!!
Sister Ruan Mei directly pinches Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's flesh, twist!!
"Ring ring ring~~~~"
At this time, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's phone rings.
Wu Lianqian calls: "Brother Zu, people from Mr. Zheng's side called, saying Mr. Zheng wants to invite you to dinner at noon, wanting to talk about a big business in the US."
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu immediately thinks of Mr. Tax.
He is indeed very interested in this business.
"No time at noon, let's do it in the evening!"
Talking about business, how can it be as delicious as gossip!
Priority, must be placed in second place!
Not long after, everyone sees Ding Hu and Hu Huizhong enter the right track of dating; Ding Hu gradually eliminates his nervousness, listens to others' suggestions, and takes Hu Huizhong to ride the roller coaster and other amusement facilities.
Sister Ruan Mei: "Husband, let's go ride the roller coaster too..."
Fang Ting: "That's right, never ridden a roller coaster before."
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "Let's go!"
At this time,
Mr. Zheng's villa.
Goddaughter: "He said he has no time at noon, only in the evening."
Mr. Zheng: "Good, then you book a table at the Peninsula Hotel for the evening."
Goddaughter: "Chinese food or Western food?"
Mr. Zheng: "Chinese food."
Goddaughter nods: "Okay."
Evening,
Peninsula Hotel, Spring Moon.
In one of the private rooms, they agreed to meet at 19:00, so Mr. Zheng arrived early at 18:40.
Then, wait and wait, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu never came.
Mr. Zheng's expression went from dissatisfaction, then sighing, and finally patience.
It wasn't until 19:12 that Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu finally arrived.
"Sorry, daughter pooped, helped her wipe her butt..."
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu is in a suit and leather shoes, with gold-rimmed glasses, smiling, and walks into the private room with Wu Lianqian.
Mr. Zheng shows no dissatisfaction: "Hahaha~~~ Understand, understand, I was like this before too."
"Please this way."
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu sits in the main seat, and Wu Lianqian sits beside him.
Mr. Zheng points to his goddaughter and introduces: "This one is my goddaughter, named Ah Lian."
Goddaughter hurriedly picks up the wine glass and respectfully toasts Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "Mr. Guan, I have always admired you, and today I finally met you."
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu looks at this goddaughter and nods slightly: "Hmm."
Not familiar.
Not interested.
Next, Mr. Zheng lets the waiter start serving dishes,
Soup: Matsutake, dried scallop, bamboo fungus, and sea coconut stew.
Main dishes: Steamed East Star Grouper, crispy suckling pig, stir-fried Wagyu beef cubes with honey pepper sauce, Huadiao drunken crab, coral crispy chicken...
One by one they are sent up.
Mr. Zheng's posture is very low, basically trying his best to accompany Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu to eat.
The fish head is aimed directly at Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu.
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu eats a few bites and begins to ask: "Tell me, what exactly is the investment?"
"It's specifically like this..." Mr. Zheng talks about the details, "There is a businessman from the US named Tang Nade, who is considered a real estate tycoon in the US, but because the US real estate bubble collapsed, he is now heavily in debt..."
Mr. Tax's situation, no one in New York doesn't know, so Mr. Zheng only made two calls to the Chinese tycoons in New York to understand the general situation.
"He has a piece of wasteland on the west coast of Manhattan, a total of 310,000 square meters, which is the only opportunity for him to turn around, but it needs to be developed. And his credit rating is very low now, hundreds of banks in the US refuse to lend to him, so he came to Hong Kong to find capital." PS: Mr. Zheng pressed the price many times, and finally used $90 million + undertaking development funds to get 70% of the equity, while Mr. Tax got 30% of the shares.
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu doesn't know that Mr. Tax has this history, and even less knows that in his previous life, Mr. Tax sued Mr. Zheng in court, wanting Mr. Zheng to pay $1 billion.
But he understands Mr. Tax as a person.
A madman.
Fickle, confusing.
Insidious and cunning, turning his face is as simple as drinking water.
Just like the Israel-Iran war in 2025 in his previous life, he said he would decide whether to participate in the war within two weeks, and said he would negotiate with Iran, but then suddenly sent bombers to destroy Iran's three nuclear facilities.
The main thing is flexibility.
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu curiously asks Mr. Zheng: "Do you know this person? Do you think he is reliable?"
Mr. Zheng thinks for a while: "This person speaks very fluently and can blow a project into something unique in the world."
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "Character, morality?"
Mr. Zheng: "I roughly understood, this person is relatively fickle, and his reputation in New York is not very good."
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu nods: "The scarcity of land in Manhattan is beyond doubt, and the success of the project is absolutely no problem. And I also intend to enter the US East Coast; New York is a good place, perhaps it can become the first step of my investment in the East Coast."
Mr. Zheng breathes a sigh of relief: "Good!"
As long as Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu is willing to cooperate, it means Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu agrees to write off the previous grievances!
To be honest, the pressure of the Five-Star Group on the Zheng family is still very large.
Being able to reconcile is a good thing for Mr. Zheng.
"Come, drink!"
Clink glasses.
The two toast.
Next, the atmosphere is much warmer.
Mr. Zheng can't help but ask: "This Tang Nade's fickleness is a big problem for us, what should we do?"
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu smiles: "Just find a good lawyer."
Believe in American lawyers, they will do anything for money!
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu now realizes the importance of this Manhattan plot to the madman Mr. Tax, so don't blame Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu for causing some trouble.
Get the plot first.
Then drag it out, slow down the progress.
Aren't you, Mr. Tax, wanting to recover your blood?
Then I will drag you to death!
Of course, it won't be done so obviously; on the surface, they still have to be brothers, but behind the scenes, they will cause some destruction, slow down the progress, and for every year it's slow, Mr. Tax's debt interest alone will make him lose a lot of money.
Hehehehe~~~~
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu chuckles twice, suppresses the corners of his mouth, and says to Mr. Zheng: "In this cooperation, I will lead everything, no problem, right?"
Mr. Zheng solemnly: "No problem!"
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu nods: "Good!"
Raise the glass.
"Cheers!"
The goddaughter beside him looks at Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu with admiration; handsome and rich, and more importantly, powerful, simply a perfect man, but Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu doesn't look at her at all.
Shangri-La Hotel.
"Achoo~~~~"
Mr. Tax sneezes.
He writes and draws on the paper, takes stock of his wallet, and shows a bitter look.
Every day he stays here, he loses a lot of money.
"Don't know when that Mr. Zheng will decide to cooperate."
"One week, I can stay here for at most one week; if I can't find someone to cooperate with, I'll go to Korea to see..."
When he thinks this,
His eyes look blankly at the ATV International News Channel on the TV:
"Vitasoy company, due to customer complaints about a smell similar to kerosene in the drink, has urgently recalled a large number of similar products on the market. This incident has caused many citizens to worry about food safety, relevant departments have intervened in the investigation, and Vitasoy has also promised to thoroughly investigate the cause and give consumers an explanation..."
"Next, please watch international news..."
"On October 16, a large-scale 'Million Man March' was held in the National Mall in Washington, the capital of the United States. Many African-American Americans rushed from all over to call on the African-American community to strengthen cohesion and jointly fight against the deep-rooted injustice in society."

(Image—Million Man March)
Seeing this, Mr. Tax's brows immediately furrowed.
As an old white man born and raised in the US, he has no good feelings for these old blacks at all.
Of course, he has no good feelings for the Chinese either.
The last Los Angeles and San Francisco African-American riots in 1991 were because an African-American who was high on drugs was treated 'unfairly' by the Los Angeles police and the Los Angeles court.
And this time, there was also a fuse; the cause was that African-American youth Thames was abused during police law enforcement, which then triggered widespread anger among African-Americans in the US.
"According to statistics from non-governmental organizations, this march, which lasted all day, attracted 800,000 to 1 million people to participate, the scene was extremely spectacular, triggering high attention across the US to the issue of racial equality."
"Bang~~~"
Mr. Tax pats the table,
"It's all the fault of these media!"
Ring ring ring~~~~~
The phone rings at this time.
Mr. Tax hurriedly answers the phone.
Goddaughter: "Mr. Tang Nade, my godfather found a partner, he is very interested in you, wants to have a meal tomorrow evening at 19:00, don't know if it's convenient."
Mr. Tax immediately says: "Convenient, of course convenient!"
Evening,
Shangri-La Hotel, Chinese restaurant, private room.
"This is Mr. Guan, the richest man in our Hong Kong!"
"This is Mr. Tang Nade, a real estate tycoon from New York, the economic center of the US."
Three parties,
Mr. Zheng, goddaughter...
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, Wu Lianqian...
Mr. Tax...
Mr. Zheng, as the middleman, introduces both sides.
"Richest man in Hong Kong?"
Mr. Tax gets excited immediately, the sucker is here.
However, Mr. Tax looks at Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's young face and is stunned for a moment; is he the richest man at such a young age?
He immediately becomes cautious.
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu laughs enthusiastically: "Hahaha~~~ Mr. Tang Nade, it is a great honor to see you..."
Mr. Tax speaks human words to people and ghost words to ghosts, and also becomes enthusiastic: "Hahaha~~~ Mr. Guan, long admired, long admired..."
Enthusiastic handshake!
Forceful handshake!
Mr. Tax brags: "I have always admired Chinese culture, they all say China has outstanding people, seeing Mr. Guan today confirms this point, Mr. Guan became the richest man in Hong Kong at such a young age, it is truly admirable!"
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu brags: "Heard that Mr. Tang Nade took over his father's company at the age of 25, with bold actions, making the company develop rapidly... Compared to Mr. Tang Nade, I am nothing..."
Mr. Tax brags: "We Americans have always appreciated the strong, I believe our cooperation will not only make the Manhattan skyline more brilliant!"
Both sides have a 3-minute awkward brag.
Although everyone knows it's fake, the atmosphere also becomes warmer.
Goddaughter coughs: "Mr. Guan and Mr. Tang Nade are like old friends at first sight, it is truly a rare happy event, why don't we use tea instead of wine to wish us an early win-win?"
Mr. Tax has already picked up the teacup: "Well said! This cup, toast to the pioneering spirit of the US, and also toast to the thousand-year wisdom of China!"
"Wait!"
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu won't let go of this opportunity to play with Mr. Tax so easily.
He knows that Mr. Tax has a habit—no smoking, no drinking!
There will definitely be no chance in the future, but in this occasion now...
If I don't make things difficult for you, Tang Nade, I'm sorry for so many netizens in my previous life!
Mr. Zheng, goddaughter, and Mr. Tax look at Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu.
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu smiles: "Just now Mr. Tang Nade, you said you have always admired Chinese culture, and in our Chinese culture, there is a wine table culture, how can a wine banquet lack wine? Using tea instead of wine cannot show our sincerity as the host."
Actually, the wine table culture probably came from the Soviet Union at that time, and Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu himself doesn't like the wine table culture, and the Five-Star Group doesn't have this either.
However, it doesn't prevent Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu from pitting Mr. Tax.
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu raises his glass with a smile.
"Come, drink!"
Mr. Tax: "............"
His face turns green!
