Two days ago, Lucas lost his pen in the elevator. After finally finding the pen, the list hidden inside was gone.
Because of this, he was severely scolded by Mr. Stephen. If it weren't for the fact that it was in Hong Kong, he would definitely have been fired on the spot by Mr. Stephen.
"What's it to you, you damned Chinese, mind your own business!"
Lucas cursed angrily. After all, this was Hong Kong. He Guohua hurriedly went forward to check the situation. Unexpectedly, when he went over to take a look, hey, he knew those two foreigners too!
He Guohua pursed his lips, but greeted him with a smile.
"Oh, Mr. Lucas, Mr. David, I didn't expect to meet you here."
"You are... Mr. He, Chairman He's brother. Oh God, what are you doing here?"
David remembered He Guohua's identity. He Guohua smiled and said, "I came to pick up my friend to participate in a fishing competition, but I didn't expect to run into this scene."
Mr. David, if I may be so bold, this little girl is probably not even two years old. Mr. Lucas, isn't this showing a complete disregard for our port city?"
“I remember my brother mentioning a few days ago that you are investors from the United States, very optimistic about the development of Port City, and planning to invest and build there. Mr. David, with how you treat the children of Port City's citizens, I find it hard to believe that you can build Port City well!”
David's expression changed instantly upon hearing He Guohua's words. The investors were just an excuse for them to enter the circle of Hong Kong's wealthy. That idiot Lucas would definitely mess everything up if things continued like this!
"I'm sorry, Mr. He, Lucas is in a bad mood because he was scolded by our boss for not doing his job well recently."
I apologize to you on his behalf. Please believe in our determination to develop and transform the port city. Mr. Stephen has a very positive outlook on the port city. We are all good friends of the citizens of the port city. Please don't misunderstand us over such a small matter.
David adopted a humble posture, He Guohua remained silent, but Fu Wan let out a cold laugh.
"David, right? You all talk so nicely, but you're actually so harsh on a child. You've said so much, and even apologized to Mr. He, but the one you should really apologize to is this little girl!"
Ha, all you do is spout nice words. Nobody believes your investment is for the good of Hong Kong!
Fu Wan's words made David's face even uglier. He Guohua's previous words were clearly biased towards Fu Wan. It was really strange. He had long heard that the relationship between Hong Kong people and mainland Chinese people was not good. How could He Guohua, who came from the richest family in Hong Kong, have a group of friends from mainland China?
"I'm so sorry, ma'am, I apologize for what he did."
David could only bow his head again. He could disregard He Guohua, but He Guohua's brother was their biggest target. Offending He Guohua was the same as offending He Guozhong.
If they mess up Stephen's big plan, they can forget about getting promoted and getting a raise!
According to intelligence from the United States, the Ho family has been a prominent and wealthy family in Hong Kong for nearly a century, with its companies spread across various industries in the city.
Although He Guozhong is currently in charge of the He family, the family has not only shown no signs of decline since it was passed down to him, but has become even more outstanding and powerful than it was decades ago.
Such a powerful family, if they could move to the United States, not to mention anything else, the tax money alone could support many people in Los Angeles.
In Stephen's mind, even if He Guozhong didn't ultimately choose America, he couldn't stay in Hong Kong. Such immense wealth and such a powerful family would greatly benefit China if Hong Kong returned to China.
This was actually one of Stephen's missions in Port City. After his previous mission to place sonar in Chinese waters failed, he brought his men to Port City.
Their efforts have yielded some results; many people in the port city have submitted immigration applications, some have gone to Canada, some to Los Angeles, and some to Australia.
He Guoli and He Guosheng also submitted applications to immigrate to Los Angeles, but He Guoli's application was submitted through his mother, He Shizhang's wife, and He Guoli himself is currently unaware of it.
However, Stephen and his companions didn't care whether they knew the truth or not, since they already knew that the Ho family wasn't that united.
However, they haven't yet taken down He Guozhong, who currently holds the most power, so David can only bow his head and act like a grandson in front of He Guohua.
However, his acting skills were clearly not up to par. Even when he apologized, Fu Wan could tell that he didn't genuinely think Lucas's actions were problematic.
Just then, the little girl's mother, Wan Jiaxin, ran over. Seeing her child's tear-streaked face, Wan Jiaxin was so frightened that she quickly checked on her child.
The hotel manager had already arrived and, fearing that the girl's mother might misunderstand Fu Wan, hurriedly explained in a low voice.
Wan Jiaxin was surprised and sensed that something was wrong. Afraid of frightening the child, she quickly thanked Fu Wan and left with the child.
Although a two-year-old child is young, he can disappear in the blink of an eye. When the child went missing, Wan Jiaxin was terrified and at a loss. Fortunately, she heard the child crying and stumbled out of the house.
Thankfully, nothing serious happened to the child.
It's often said that mainlanders are cold-hearted and not good people, and Wan Jiaxin used to think so too. But just now, when she heard Fu Wan gently and patiently coaxing the child in Mandarin, Wan Jiaxin's perception of mainlanders changed.
What a gentle and beautiful woman. If it weren't for her, my daughter would definitely have been terrified by that damned foreigner.
"Mr. He, that's enough for now. It's getting late, and we need to hurry up and have lunch so we can prepare for our important business this afternoon!"
Fu Wan didn't want to act with David here, and He Guohua laughed when he heard this, easing the tense atmosphere.
“Miss Fu is right. Mr. David, we have other matters to attend to, so we’ll be leaving now.”
"Mr. Lucas, you'd better keep a close eye on him. He's only easy to talk to because he's my friend. If he runs into someone stronger, he might get a punch!"
After saying that, He Guohua turned and left. Fu Wan waved her fist in Lucas's direction and then arrogantly walked out of the hotel.
Lucas was so angry he was about to explode. He was about to chase after them when he was startled and stopped in his tracks by a warning look from Fang Min and Bai Qianzhou.
Damn it, if this were Los Angeles, he would definitely make those Chinese people pay!
Lunch was again at He Guohua's private restaurant. Ever since Fu Wan casually mentioned that the food at He Guohua's restaurant was quite good, they had been eating there for the past few days.
Even when He Guohua is too busy to attend to them, A Cai will call Fu Wan to ask if she wants to pick them up and take them to the restaurant.
