Hong Kong 1980: The Savage Era

Chapter 302 Chapter 303 [On the Importance of Dating]

Although the Ho Tung family has a great influence in Hong Kong, it cannot be a weather vane. The current situation is caused by many factors, such as the relocation of Jardine Matheson and many powerful companies following suit.

There are only a few businessmen like Luo Qihong and Cheng Yutong who are determined to develop in Hong Kong. The majority are centrists and capitalist-roaders. For them, as long as they have the assets, they can start a new business anywhere.

Therefore, even if the draft is signed, those people will still choose to wait and see.

In fact, if Luo Qihong was not familiar with the history of later generations, he would have chosen a half-wait-and-see, half-attack strategy instead of the current full-attack state.

Old families like the Ho Tung family have a lot of good things in their hands, such as the Tung Hing Building and the Commercial Daily Building in the urban area of ​​Kowloon. They also have a lot of properties in the core area of ​​Central. Unfortunately, these things will not be abandoned until the end.

By the time they were willing to throw them away, Luo Qihong might no longer be interested in these "good things".

Tuesday, March 11

As soon as Luo Qihong arrived at Dean Securities Investment Company, his female secretary ran over anxiously, seeming to want to say something but hesitated.

"What's the matter? You look so nervous!" Luo Qihong was in a good mood, so he teased the secretary a little.

The secretary said cautiously, "You should read today's newspaper first. There is a rumor about you on it."

Luo Qihong became suspicious. Could it be about his relationship with Gao Huiming? The secretary shouldn't be so nervous.

When Luo Qihong entered the office and picked up the newspaper to read it, his brows furrowed tightly and a trace of dark energy appeared on his forehead.

The headline on the newspaper read 'The master who plays with both old and young tycoons'.

The attached photos have been processed and the faces are a little blurry, but if you look closely, you can still tell that it is Luo Qihong himself and the woman is Lin Yunxue.

Another photo shows Lin Zuhui and Lin Yunxue having dinner, which is a somewhat ambiguous scene.

In Hong Kong, it is very common for older men to have younger wives, especially among wealthy people, so the reporters would not find out Lin Yunxue's identity, and of course it is difficult to find out.

Luo Qihong felt very depressed. Did he look like someone who was so short of women? Why fight for women? Did I need them?

"Fuck! There's really yellow mud in my crotch. It's shit if not shit." Luo Qihong crumpled up the newsprint and threw it towards the door.

She was almost hit by Bai Jinyan who came in, and was startled. But when she saw Luo Qihong's angry look, she immediately forgot what happened just now. She felt that this was really a scandal and Luo Qihong should not have done this.

"Should we let the company make a public clarification?" Bai Jinyan suggested carefully.

Luo Qihong let out a long sigh and said, "No need. Even if I clarify in public, the citizens won't believe me. They will just think I'm putting on a show."

"What should we do? We can't let the reporters continue to slander you." Bai Jinyan comforted Luo Qihong with words, indicating that she did not believe what was written in the newspaper.

"Then let's clarify it, and don't spread the news that 'Lin Yunxue is Lin Zuhui's illegitimate daughter'." Luo Qihong raised his index finger and ordered.

Hearing this, Bai Jinyan's pupils widened, and after being shocked, he asked, "Then why don't you attend in person? Perhaps the effect will be better."

"No, I'm not in the mood to attend, and I don't want to deal with those reporters." Luo Qihong sighed.

He couldn't understand how this mess came about. Who could be so bored?

Jingle Bell! !

The mobile phone rings.

Luo Qihong answered the call impatiently, "Hello! Who's there?"

"Mr. Luo, this is Lin Yunxue. Have you read today's newspaper?" Lin Yunxue's anxious voice came from the other side.

Luo Qihong immediately became alert. "I saw it. How are you going to deal with it? What does your dad say?"

Bai Jinyan's expression was somewhat interesting. She knew that the other person was Lin Yunxue. From what Luo Qihong said, the two seemed to have no relationship. However, Lin Yunxue called Luo Qihong at the first opportunity, which revealed that their relationship was not ordinary.

"My dad said that I have to make my relationship with him public, otherwise the rumors will get bigger. I will also clarify my relationship with you," said Lin Yunxue.

No father can stand the rumor that "the father and daughter are lovers", and as long as the rumor spreads, Lin Zuhui will no longer have the face to go out and socialize.

"Okay, then I will clarify this as well, and the effect will be better." Luo Qihong breathed a sigh of relief. The rumor that 'he and Lin Yunxue are boyfriend and girlfriend' was still acceptable. At most, he could explain it to Guan Jiahui and coax her.

If it turned into the rumor it is now, it would be really embarrassing, and he, Luo Qihong, would become a toy object for women.

Seeing that Luo Qihong had nothing else to do, Bai Jinyan left quietly, leaving Luo Qihong some private space.

In the afternoon, with the clarifications from both parties, the incident became much less noisy and turned into a rumor that Luo Qihong had cheated.

That night, Luo Qihong explained to Guan Jiahui for a long time and promised many things before Guan Jiahui chose to believe Luo Qihong.

When Luo Qihong got up the next day, he came out of the room, holding his waist, looking quite depressed.

He was tossed around by Guan Jiahui last night, and he slept for less than three hours, so naturally he was not in a good mood. After breakfast and a cold shower, Luo Qihong regained some of his energy, and he dared to go to work in the company after resting for an hour.

As soon as I arrived at the company, the secretary came up to me and reported, "Boss, Miss Lin Yunxue wants to invite you for morning tea. I checked your schedule and you have time."

Luo Qihong thought about it carefully and felt that he had already paid a price but did not get any benefit at all. This was too much of a loss.

He never does business at a loss, so he must get some benefits from Lin Yunxue.

So he asked his secretary to reply to Lin Yunxue and agreed to have morning tea.

Wan Chai Hung Fook Tea House
Lin Yunxue booked a private room and waited for Luo Qihong inside early.

When Luo Qihong arrived, he did not notice that there was a paparazzi's hidden camera in the distance, taking many photos of him.

"Hmph! With these photos, the magazine will definitely sell well, and you won't be able to avoid this month's bonus. Hehehe!" The paparazzi held the camera and smiled obscenely.

In the private room, Lin Yunxue saw Luo Qihong and stood up consciously, "Mr. Luo!"

"Sit down!" Luo Qihong sat down next to Lin Yunxue, "Have you finished your business?"

"Mr. Luo, I'm really sorry! I don't know why this matter was written like this." Lin Yunxue did not sit down, but apologized directly to Luo Qihong.

"It wasn't you who did it, why are you apologizing?" Luo Qihong said with a smile, "Your relationship with Lin Sheng has been exposed, and trouble will come soon. What are you going to do?"

The joy on Luo Qihong's face made Lin Yunxue calm down. If she angered Luo Qihong, some of her plans would fail.

Lin Yunxue sighed and shook her head. "I've already thought of the worst possible outcome. Other things are beyond my control. My dad may not be able to help me with anything, but he may get more cash."

"I plan to invest 3 million in the new company you mentioned last time. How much equity can I own?" Luo Qihong smiled slightly, staring straight at Lin Yunxue.

He decided to speed up a bit and not let Lin Yunxue escape, otherwise he would really become a "water fish".

"40%?!" Lin Yunxue said tentatively.

"Okay, then 40%." Luo Qihong said, "You can build the new company yourself. I won't interfere, but I hope I can have some convenience in decision-making."

"What does Mr. Luo want to do?" Lin Yunxue didn't quite understand what Luo Qihong meant.

"De'an Company will make some large investments, and I will arrange some small orders for the new company. I hope that all the orders I arrange can be dealt with first." Luo Qihong stated.

"That's no problem." Before Lin Yunxue could finish her words, there was a knock on the door, and then the waiter brought in two uninvited guests.

"Ah Hong, you won't be angry that we came here uninvited, right?" Xu Jiawen, wearing a black dress and high heels, walked in quickly, followed by Lin Luoqi.

Luo Qihong forced a smile but did not stand up. He said, "How could that be? I want to be a peacemaker and ask Aunt Xu to come over and talk. Please sit down!"

Xu Jiawen sat down elegantly, one seat away from Lin Yunxue. "Are you Lin Yunxue? You do look a bit like my husband."

Facing Xu Jiawen's chin-holding observation, Lin Yunxue felt quite pressured. She sat down with a dry laugh and replied, "Yes, I am Lin Yunxue, Ms. Xu!"

Luo Qihong laughed and said, "You are all family, how about I step aside for a while?"

Xu Jiawen smiled meaningfully and said, "I think we will soon become a family, Ah Hong. So there is no need to avoid this."

Luo Qihong glanced at Lin Yunxue and said, "Aunt Xu, you are joking. Miss Lin and I are just ordinary friends, not the kind of boyfriend-girlfriend relationship that Aunt Xu thinks."

"You and Rocky are so familiar with each other, but you didn't have time to tell me these things. I thought you were dating Lin Yunxue, so you wanted to keep it a secret from us." Xu Jiawen's words were full of meaning.

"Aunt Xu, to be honest, I didn't know when I first met Miss Lin. I only found out when I met Mr. Lin and Miss Lin at the hotel last time." Luo Qihong said, "I don't know how to explain such a thing. Mr. Lin also told me not to talk about it outside. What can I do?"

"If I had told Aunt Xu earlier, wouldn't this be the result? And I would have been in trouble."

Xu Jiawen didn't want to offend Luo Qihong, she just wanted to vent some anger.

"Ah Hong, we know that this matter has nothing to do with you, so don't mind it." Lin Luoqi said to smooth things over.

"I understand! Aunt Xu has no ill intentions." Luo Qihong was still willing to give Lin Luoqi some face.

When Xu Jiawen saw Lin Yunxue, she still felt inexplicably angry. "I heard that you work for a company under Haofeng Real Estate?"

"Yes, Ms. Xu!" After Lin Yunxue calmed down, she became bolder.

"Are you and Ah Hong really not dating?" Xu Jiawen still wanted to confirm this matter.

If she had Luo Qihong's support, she would be more cautious in doing things and would save some face for Luo Qihong, and she could also gain some benefits from it.

If we become enemies with Luo Qihong, the losses will be even greater.
