Chapter Sixty-Four: Journey to Hong Kong

After resolving the bodyguards' accommodation and transportation issues, Zhao Ye began assigning them tasks.

Bodyguards are human too, and they also need rest.

Therefore, Zhao Ye divided them into two groups and had them take turns.

"Three or four people are enough to protect me each time. The others can rest, be on standby at any time, and work in shifts."

"Now, I'm going to divide you into groups."

"Wang Shuang, Huo Ziping, and Shen Binhong form a group."

"Wu Feihu, Sheng Feihang, and Hou Juncai are in another group."

"As for Li Aoyun..."

Zhao Ye hesitated for a moment, then said, "Besides being quite skilled, you are also fluent in English and Japanese, and you have also taught yourself computer science, international economics and trade. So why don't you be my secretary and Japanese translator, and you can also protect me!"

Upon hearing this, Li Aoyun replied succinctly with a single word: "Okay!"

Zhao Ye turned his gaze away from Li Aoyun, glanced around at everyone, and said, "Well, that's all for now. You can go to the company now and familiarize yourselves with the environment."

Upon hearing this, Wang Shuang and the others tacitly split into two groups: one group went outside to protect Zhao Ye's safety, while the other group went to familiarize themselves with the surroundings.

Li Aoyun hesitated for a moment, then went to find Liu Yinyin to find out what it would be like to be Zhao Ye's secretary.

Liu Yinyin wasn't very welcoming of the new female bodyguard.

You're a bodyguard, fine, but you're also so beautiful.

You're not only so beautiful, but you also have such a powerful background.

The niece of a high-ranking city official—I can't afford to mess with her!

Liu Yinyin suddenly felt immense pressure and her heart was filled with bitterness. She had initially harbored some feelings for her boss; what if he took a liking to her? After all, she was pretty, had a good figure, and even had a whole platoon of suitors, which meant she had some charm.

One day, I will take over the boss.

But now, it seems a strong competitor has emerged.

...

...

Two days later, Secretary Zhou sent someone to deliver Wang Shuang and others' Hong Kong travel permits and RB visas, very quickly.

On the morning of June 4th, Zhao Ye and his entourage flew directly from Beijing Capital International Airport to Hong Kong Airport.

Airplanes were relatively slow in this era, but Zhao Ye and his group were traveling on a Boeing, so the comfort level was still acceptable.

Zhao Ye felt that the service on the plane was of a very high standard, much better than his experience flying in his previous life. The flight attendants frequently came over to check on him, showing great care and concern, and asking him what he needed.

Perhaps they know themselves...

Zhao Ye felt that although he was somewhat handsome, he was just average and not at the level where beautiful women would throw themselves at him the moment they met.

The flight, which lasted seven or eight hours, was incredibly boring.

Zhao Ye quickly fell asleep.

As evening fell, the plane arrived at Hong Kong Kai Tak Airport. The setting sun painted the entire sky red, reflecting in Victoria Harbour, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene where the sky and water merged seamlessly.

As Zhao Ye and the others disembarked from the plane, they stopped to admire the scene.

Not far away, towering buildings stood tall, and traffic flowed busily. The atmosphere of a modern metropolis was overwhelming, leaving Wang Shuang and his companions, who had never been to Hong Kong before, in awe.

Zhao Ye, however, gazed at the city with a detached, nostalgic air.

This is Hong Kong in 1985!

Although the skyscrapers weren't as tall, numerous, or exquisite as in my previous life, they were still truly astonishing.

But this was only in 1985! Hong Kong was already filled with skyscrapers, and the capital city was indeed far behind. However, the development potential of the capital city was unmatched by Hong Kong.

The group was only delayed for a short while when they got off the plane, then went to collect their luggage and followed the signs out of the airport.

Outside the airport, Zhou Anping, manager of Hong Kong Wujiang Company, and his Hong Kong employees had been waiting for a long time.

Upon seeing Zhao Ye and his group emerge, Zhou Anping immediately went to greet them.

"Boss, welcome to Hong Kong!!!" Zhou Anping said hurriedly, extending his right hand to shake hands with Zhao Ye.

"Manager Zhou, you must have been waiting here for a long time. Thank you for your hard work!" Zhao Ye said, shaking hands.

“Boss, you’ve come all this way to Hong Kong, so of course we should give you a warm welcome. By the way, boss, the hotel has been booked. It’s the very famous Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong, and they’ll be picking us up with their Rolls-Royce fleet! Boss, shall we get in the car now? There are already a lot of people watching us around…” Zhou An glanced around and suggested.

Zhao Ye noticed that people around them were pointing and whispering about them, so he nodded to Zhou Ping'an and replied, "Okay, let's get in the car and rest at the hotel!"

Soon, four black Rolls-Royces sped away and quickly disappeared onto the road.

However, there were still quite a few people discussing it outside the airport.

"Wow, that's quite a show of power! I never expected people from the mainland to be so arrogant! They even have a Rolls-Royce convoy to pick them up!"

"It seems that the young man in the lead has the highest status. Could he be the son of a high-ranking official from the mainland?"

"I don't know, with such a grand air, their background must be extraordinary!"

At this moment, a man wearing sunglasses chuckled and curled his lip, saying, "You guys are really ignorant. You don't even know the famous richest man in mainland China? That man is called Zhao Ye. He started from scratch and is now worth at least hundreds of millions. As for the exact amount, the newspapers haven't reported it, so the outside world doesn't know, but he's definitely worth a lot! Do you know Hong Kong Wujiang Company?"

At this moment, someone nodded in agreement: "I know, it's the company that sells pagers. They seem to be quite famous in Hong Kong!"

The man in sunglasses scoffed, "What's so special about Hong Kong Wujiang Company? It's just a small branch of theirs. Wujiang Group has branches all over the world; they're incredibly powerful! Besides, this company doesn't just sell pagers; they also sell typewriters, computer motherboards, Chinese character cards, computers, and WPS software. Even in the United States, Wujiang Company is very well-known!"

Upon hearing this, everyone became even more surprised.

"Wujiang Company is so powerful, how could it be founded by a young man in his early twenties? That's impossible! It's unbelievable!" someone around questioned.

"Yes, that's impossible! I don't believe it! When I was his age, I had just joined the gang, learned how to kill people, and collect protection money. How could he be so much better than me! Besides, which of Hong Kong's tycoons, such as Li Ka-shing, Pao Yu-kang, and Fok Ying-tung, had achieved such great success at his age?! So, I seriously suspect that the 'self-made' story is a lie, and there might be a powerful force behind him!"

The man in sunglasses sneered, "Hmph, believe it or not. You can't talk about ice in the middle of summer! Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist!"

People around asked the man in sunglasses, "How can you be so sure that this young man built the Wujiang Group from scratch?!"

The man in sunglasses didn't answer, arrogantly hailed a taxi, and drove off.
