Chapter 559 Dilemma
When Chen heard the news of the flight delay, his heart tightened.

But then I thought, Baiyun Airport is so big, how could the two of them just happen to bump into each other?
Or, to put it another way, what if we bump into each other?

Back when we were in Zhizhong, didn't we see each other every day during recess?

"It should be nothing serious, don't scare yourself."

On his way to Hong Kong, Director Chen tried to console himself while still finding someone to vent his anger on.

Where are you?

Chen called his secretary.

"I'm on my way to the airport."

The secretary thought her boss was concerned about her, and said happily, "Mr. Chen, don't worry, I know the way."

She's from Hunan, and since she didn't need to go home for the holiday with Sweetie, she went to Hongqiao Airport by herself on the 13th.

"I was worried about you?!"

Director Chen was speechless for a moment, then sighed and said, "Do you still like cosplay girls now?"

"Of course!"

The secretary replied without hesitation, "Falling in love with Xianmei is easier than eating!"

"What about Song Shiwei?"

Chen asked again.

"I have a big appetite, I can eat two bowls in a row!"

The secretary spoke without any hesitation.

"I……"

Chen was confused. Was he a jerk, or was his secretary more of a womanizer?

"Let's cut to the chase. You should know that both Xianmei and Song Xiaohua are returning to Guangzhou today."

"Yes, I know. I was the one who told you when Weiwei was going back to Guangzhou."

"Well, they originally had a three-hour time difference, which should have been enough for me, but I didn't expect..."

Therefore, Chen Zhe pointed out that Psion Company accepted gifts but did not perform its duties, Zheng Weizhong also planned to exert pressure, and Yu Xuan's flight was delayed by three hours, which was about the same as Song Shiwei's landing time.

"I rely on!"

Well, the secretary is gradually accepting of Cosplay Sister and Sweet Sister.

However, they cannot accept that their philandering boss has their love at the same time.

However, she still felt a strong sense of belonging to the company, and she was very anxious when she heard that the company was suddenly facing so many problems.

"I've only been gone a few days, and so many things have happened at the company?"

The secretary couldn't help but "question" him.

"I……"

Director Chen choked for a moment, but he was very good-natured and said to the secretary, "I didn't take good care of the retrospective photos, I'm sorry."

"Should I fly to Hong Kong now?"

The secretary gives off an air of confidence that everything will be solved once she arrives.

"Forget it, the level in Hong Kong is too low. It would be a waste of your talents to go there."

Chen deliberately reversed the statement, saying that in reality, the secretary went to Hong Kong and was of no use at all.

"I originally thought that you could stay by Song Shiwei's side and help me avoid the possibility of them meeting."

Only then did Director Chen reveal the truth about calling his secretary.

"Hmm~"

The secretary thought for a moment and said carefully, "To be honest, if I stay by Weiwei's side, it will actually be easier to make things unclear."

"why……"

Before Chen could finish asking "why," he immediately realized what was happening.

The secretary is such a "scumbag," she posts one thing and then moves on to posting another.

Yu Xuan and Song Shiwei both treat her as their "boyfriend's secretary." If the three of them were to meet, it would be nothing short of a mini-battleground.

Seeing this, Chen realized that the secretary was no longer of any use in this matter, and he decisively hung up the phone: "Okay, I'll go and get back to work."

"Don't you need me to do anything?"

"I can't help with big things, and I can't help with small things either. You should just go home and fatten up!"

"I rely on!"

……

To get from Guangzhou to Hong Kong, first go to Shenzhen, then cross the border at Lo Wu.

Chen had all his documents in order, and as soon as he and Ma Haijun crossed the checkpoint, an inconspicuous car from the Hong Kong Liaison Office came to pick them up.

"Hello Mr. Chen, this is Xiao Luo."

The driver was a young man in his twenties with a warm and cheerful smile on his face.

However, the thick calluses on the back of his hands indicate that he can choose not to smile at you and opt for another way of communicating.

Upon arriving at 160 Connaught Road West, the headquarters of the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office, Xiao Luo did not stop at all but drove straight into the compound and then led Chen to the office of Deputy Director Gu Shengtong.

There were two other people in the office: He Jianrong, the director of the Social Work Department, and Qiao Zhenggang, the director of the Information Consulting Department.

The incident happened suddenly, so Director He went straight to explaining the details. It turns out that Smith from the "human rights organization foundation" in Psion's legal team had actually been under our surveillance for a long time.

This person is no good; he likes to stir up trouble (color revolutions) in other countries.

After Chen returned from Hong Kong, Smith began to frequently contact the Hong Kong judicial system and propaganda media. Although the country had returned to China, there were still many "banana people" (people who are Westernized and dissimilar to Chinese people) in these two places who were loyal to Britain.

Of course, we are not without connections on our side.

Through inquiries with informants, it was quickly learned that they planned to formally sue Suhui Technology in the Kowloon District Court on the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is tomorrow, for wantonly smearing its founder, Chen Zhe.

"So, my HK$10,000 was wasted? I should have used it to treat everyone to herbal tea."

Chen gave a wry smile, but his face didn't show any particular anxiety.

He did not hide the truth from the Hong Kong Liaison Office, including the purchase of fake cultural relics to fool those foreigners, and truly adhered to the principle of "transparency and controllability".

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Chen. We Hong Kong staff are treated very well. We usually have herbal tea to drink and egg tarts to eat in the afternoon."

Deputy Director Gu smiled, exchanged a few pleasantries, and took the opportunity to observe the young man, Chen.

His expression showed not a trace of anxiety or impatience; no wonder he has made such a name for himself on the mainland. This kind of mentality is not something that ordinary people can possess.

In fact, leaders who have held temporary positions know that composure is essential in the face of major events.

The problem has already occurred. Rushing through it is one way to solve it, but calm and composedness is another.

Experienced men maintain composure amidst their swift and decisive actions, and their calm demeanor conceals a degree of resoluteness.

"Mr. Chen, do you have any solutions in mind?"

After a moment, Deputy Director Gu asked.

"Honestly, no."

Chen said honestly.

At such times, it is crucial not to put on a brave face or pretend to be something you're not. Instead, revealing your true situation will help your superiors to fully understand and coordinate your efforts.

"The original plan was that after the Android version of the mobile assistant was launched, if they sued us, we would immediately issue a notice saying that their Symbian system had too many vulnerabilities and we were just helping them fix the vulnerabilities for free."

"Since you don't appreciate my kindness, then I'm never cleaning up your messes again."

"Going back to the present, we are launching an Android version of a mobile assistant, embracing data technology, and helping the times move forward. You Symbian users can just stay in the past and amuse yourselves."

"Even if we lose the lawsuit in the end, we win in terms of momentum. Then we can get some media to help spread the word and turn the retrospective of VSPsion into a contemporary issue like Android vs. Symbian."

Taking this opportunity, Chen also explained some technical issues to several leaders.

"It's just that the Android version of the phone assistant is not yet perfect. I asked before coming to Hong Kong, and it will take at least three more days."

With his arms crossed, Chen remained calm and composed under the watchful eye of a leader of Deputy Director Gu's rank, saying, "So if they file a lawsuit tomorrow, I'll just have to deal with the wrangling."

How do we argue about it?

"I've been recording the information," asked another section chief, Qiao Zhenggang.

"Let's say we haven't profited from the phone tracking assistant, we haven't earned a single penny, but..."

Chen paused for a moment, then continued, "Hong Kong's laws are more comprehensive. What they consider 'profit' is not necessarily monetary growth. Gaining public recognition in terms of reputation and influence is also a form of 'profit,' so they might be judged to have lost."

"After losing..."

Chen shrugged: "Accusing them of being irresponsible to domestic consumers is pointless. What they did was simply to help everyone use electronic products better."

Deputy Director Gu frowned.

This is too passive, and the counterattack is not strong enough. It seems we need to think of a way to hold on until the "Android version of the mobile assistant" becomes our trump card.

He Jianrong, director of the Social Work Department, also thought of this and suggested, "Should we contact the other party again and pay some price to delay the situation?"

"Well……"

After pondering for a moment, Chen shook his head and said, "Let's not bother them. They probably never intended to resolve this through genuine communication. If we try to negotiate now, we'll probably just get laughed at again."

“I also think what Mr. Chen said makes sense.”

Deputy Director Gu also disagreed: "This is clearly not something that can be resolved privately, and it also reveals that we knew about this matter in advance."

But at this point, it seems there is no better solution.

The office was soon filled with the smell of smoke. These leaders were all heavy smokers; they felt they couldn't get any ideas without a couple of cigarettes when discussing issues.

Although Chen Zhe doesn't smoke, he inhales a lot of secondhand smoke regularly, so he doesn't take it seriously at all.

Time passed by, minute by minute, until a soldier came and knocked on the door, reminding him, "Director Gu, the canteen is open for lunch."

"Mr. Chen, let's go to the cafeteria and fill our stomachs!"

Director Gu stood up and extended an invitation.

His style clearly reflects his military background, but places like the Hong Kong Liaison Office have always been a place where military and political affairs are handled together.

"what time is it?"

Chen asked casually, "Eating so soon?"

"Six o'clock."

Director Gu said, "We are all very punctual."

"Six o'clock?"

Chen quickly took out his phone, and the 18:00 time mark stared straight into his eyes.

broken!
