"What did you say?!"
Qiao Jiaming looked at Ye Weiwei with surprise and delight, "You just said you could bring investment from Hong Kong to the mainland?"
Ye Weiwei: ……
She said she'd see if it was possible, but she didn't say it was definitely possible!
This guy was really something; she just hammered him to death!
However, judging from what he said, it seems that there shouldn't be any major problems with this trip to the port city.
Ye Weiwei hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's not impossible."
Although she has ruined the original plot, the general development direction of some countries is still there. In the original book, it was roughly that shortly after the resumption of the college entrance examination, the reform and opening up of the economy was ushered in. S City served as a pilot area, and many port businessmen came to the inland to invest.
Besides, she knows some people in Hong Kong, so she's not completely clueless. Bringing in some investment and achieving a win-win situation shouldn't be too difficult.
Moreover, one of her purposes in going to Hong Kong was to register a company there, so she could easily fund development in the mainland herself.
Qiao Jiaming had only been testing the waters, but Ye Weiwei had agreed so readily, which surprised and delighted him.
“If you can really bring back investment, I can arrange this trip to the port city for you and take you there together.”
Ye Weiwei smiled and said, "Then I'll wait for your good news."
After exchanging contact information and seeing Ye Weiwei and the others off, Qiao Jiaming's secretary frowned and said, "Minister Qiao, are you really..."
Qiao Jiaming gestured to stop his secretary, and instructed, "Have someone investigate the backgrounds of those people, focusing on whether they have any private connections with those foreigners."
Seeing Qiao Jiaming's serious and menacing expression, completely unlike his approachable demeanor just moments before, the secretary felt a chill run down her spine and hurriedly went to investigate.
He was worrying for nothing!
Minister Qiao is known as a smiling tiger, and he is extremely meticulous in his work. How could he possibly trust those people so easily!
Moreover, the timing of their appearance was too coincidental, making it hard not to be suspicious.
Ye Weiwei, who had already walked outside the venue, saw Minister Qiao talking to his secretary and the corners of her mouth turned up.
Noticing her good mood, Chen Mengyi asked softly, "Did you know that Minister Qiao before?"
She felt as if everything that happened today was a dream.
Originally, she thought she would have to wait many more years to have the opportunity to return to that place. After all, the control here on the mainland is very strict. Without a legitimate reason and identity, it would be a pipe dream to want to return to Hong Kong.
Of course, if it's illegal immigration, that's a different story.
However, if Chen Mengyi wants to go back, she wants to go back in style. How could she possibly sneak back and become an unregistered person who can't be seen in the light of day?
Thinking of those people across the river, Chen Mengyi clenched her fists.
Ye Weiwei raised an eyebrow: "Why do you ask that?"
Chen Mengyi sighed: "I guess I'm overthinking it. It just feels too easy, and I feel a little uneasy about it."
Ye Weiwei patted Chen Mengyi on the shoulder, "Relax, it'll be fine."
Their backgrounds can all be investigated, especially hers.
Therefore, we are not afraid of Minister Qiao's investigation at all!
Chen Mengyi had an inexplicable confidence in Ye Weiwei, and hearing her say that, she immediately felt reassured.
Ye Huaiyu, on the other hand, was so excited that his legs started to wobble as he walked. "Little sister, are we... are we really going to Hong Kong?"
Ever since he learned that his younger sister and brother-in-law had been to Hong Kong, he had been longing to go there and see what that bustling and lively place was like.
I also want to know why so many people once desperately wanted to seek refuge there.
Ye Weiwei glanced at his pathetic appearance and hummed in agreement, making Ye Huaiyu jump for joy. If he wasn't afraid of being seen as a monster, he would have liked to shout a few times.
This time, Huo Hai and Huo Jiang were the most composed people besides Ye Weiwei.
They were still a little confused about what Ye Huaiyu and Chen Mengyi were so excited about.
Isn't it just moving to a different place and continuing south?
Why get this excited?
They must remain calm and not act rashly, lest they become a laughingstock and embarrass their third brother and sister-in-law.
Minister Qiao's people quickly found out about Ye Weiwei and her group. After confirming that Ye Weiwei was the wife of the Qin family, a military spouse, the top scorer in the national college entrance examination, and the president of Kyoto University, they couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.
He was especially pleased when he saw that Ye Weiwei's major was foreign languages, and he immediately arranged for Ye Weiwei to join their Foreign Investment Committee, making her a member of the committee during their trip to Hong Kong.
Ye Weiwei found this arrangement meaningless.
Even without this identity, she would definitely attend the exchange meeting in Hong Kong, and she certainly wouldn't stand idly by if anyone needed help.
As soon as the exchange meeting in S City ended, Ye Weiwei and her group went to Gangcheng with the people from the Foreign Investment Commission.
When Ye Weiwei stepped onto the land of the port city again after crossing the river, she couldn't help but sigh at the bustling traffic before her.
In just one year, the local economy has reached a new level of development, becoming even more prosperous than when she first came here.
Minister Qiao and his entourage were going to the hotel to settle in, and invited Ye Weiwei and the others to come along. Ye Weiwei thought about it and then followed.
Knowing where they live will make it easier to contact them later, since we'll be attending the exchange meeting together.
However, upon arriving at the hotel where they always stayed, they were told by the hotel staff that the hotel was fully booked and there were no vacancies.
Minister Qiao's secretary, Zhang Hongxing, spoke with the hotel staff for a long time with a grim expression, but the hotel insisted that there were no rooms available and that they were already fully booked.
Secretary Zhang returned in a fit of rage and told Minister Qiao what had happened. Minister Qiao's expression also turned sour.
Secretary Zhang: "Minister, what should we do now? Those people are completely unreasonable! We clearly made a reservation a long time ago."
Minister Qiao narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Let's go check out other hotels."
This is clearly targeting them.
Secretary Zhang had no choice but to change hotels.
But this is really hard to swallow!
Ye Weiwei had overheard the conversation clearly. She walked over to the hotel staff and said, "Find your manager!"
Sunny looked at Ye Weiwei with disdain: "I said there are no rooms for you, and that means there are no rooms. It's no use asking anyone!"
Ye Weiwei sneered: "Your lousy hotel has no integrity whatsoever. We wouldn't stay even if you begged us on your knees! Go find your manager and let's talk about the penalty for breach of contract! Or do you think a mere receptionist like you can make decisions for your manager? If you can, then I'll talk to you!"
Sunny glared angrily, her eyes wide: "Stop talking nonsense! What breach of contract fee? Why should we pay you a breach of contract fee? You bunch of bumpkins from the mainland, are you crazy for money? Coming here to extort money from us!"
