Chapter 41

In the 1970s and 1980s, there were many kidnappings in the Hong Kong government. The most notable feature was that most of them happened after banquets, such as the kidnapping of He Puting after his wedding.

The reason is that large banquets are the most challenging for security mechanisms.

Of course, Su Linlang is not a kidnapper, and it is impossible for her to come to a dinner party and kidnap anyone.

He was attending a charity dinner today, and he had only one goal, to collect donations, as much as he could.

Testing the security line was just a convenience to see how bad the Gu family's security was and to tighten the screws on the Gu family's security. After all, Su Linlang didn't want her to experience kidnapping, no matter who it was.

By the way, Hui Wan-sum was once one of the rich wives in the Hong Kong government, but because of the psychological shadow caused by Fong Man-chun, she would have psychological barriers whenever she faced the camera and could no longer attend public events.

And when he poured all his energy into his youngest son, Su Linlang no longer had to worry about her own appearance.

What the mother-in-law picked for him today was not a particularly complicated, gorgeous Western-style puffy skirt, but a sapphire green, satin, narrow suspender long skirt.

Green is a very stable and dazzling color. This skirt is also very bold with a large back.

Add to that the emerald jewelry that was worth an entire building, and when Su Linlang took off her suit and walked forward, the two bodyguards' eyes widened, and the gun was also stolen.

Su Linlang also came silently in a striking long dress, but she stunned everyone in an instant.

The young ladies from each family were all wearing evening gowns, and the venue was filled with all kinds of gorgeous clothes and beautiful skirts, but once this green skirt appeared, all the women in the venue suddenly felt that their clothes were no longer attractive and they all gathered around her.

Su Linlang only knew Eunuch Ji Zhang Meiling, so she walked towards him and said, "Hello, Eunuch Ji."

Then he deliberately said, "Pu Ting was called away by Grandpa Gu. I don't know anyone there. Can you introduce me to someone?"

Zhang Meiling turned around and said, "Eunuch Gu, where is your servant? Why is there no one to greet Miss Su when she comes?"

There is a eunuch named Zhang, who is sitting with Eunuch Gu at this moment. He also has a very special identity. He is the wife of the headmaster of the Reed School, the only aristocratic school on the top of the mountain. So he is the wife of the principal of Gu Kaixuan and his school.

He also looked at his father-in-law and said, "You are having a banquet today. Didn't you hold a meeting with the servants in advance to train them?"

Actors and celebrities are not eligible to enter tonight's private banquet. All who come are the most influential figures in the political and business circles of the Hong Kong government. This is a test for the servants, and also a test for the housekeeping and executive capabilities of a eunuch in charge.

Today was the first time that the eldest grandson of the Renhe family went out to attend the dinner.

The Gu family, a traditional family in Hong Kong that values ​​family traditions the most, were so rude that they didn’t even have a servant to welcome them, but that was ok!

This is simply embarrassing to my grandma.

But fortunately, the hall was full of women, and the women in the small hall were not disturbed, so there was nothing to worry about.

Afraid of disturbing the women in the small hall, Eunuch Gu quickly stood up and wanted to greet them.

But at this moment, his son Gu Kaixuan, who was playing billiard, suddenly looked up and shouted, "Wow, sister-in-law is here?" He also said, "You are so green today, no, so white, no no no, you are so beautiful!"

Then she asked her mother loudly, "Mom, I told you to inform me when the He family comes, why did you do it so quietly?"

He Pushu had just stolen a gun from a bodyguard and actually got it, so he was feeling very proud.

He stepped forward and deliberately said loudly: "Gu Kaixuan, are you kidding me? Didn't your family invite us here specially? Why is there no one to greet us at the door? It took us a long time to park the car, huh?"

Gu Kaixuan was still young, a second-generation rich man who cared most about his reputation, so he spoke even louder: "Mom, where is housekeeper Jia? Hurry up and ask her to come and apologize to my sister-in-law. She has gone too far."

The noise she made startled the whole living room.

Grandpa Gu's husband, Gu Zhendong, the head of the Gu family, came out and greeted my husband and said, "We are just talking about business. What's the commotion outside? What's going on?"

When he looked at Su Linlang again, his eyes almost popped out: "This is a private party, where did the female celebrity come from!"

Most of the wealthy fathers-in-law who can attend such occasions are married for marriage, and it is impossible for them to be that handsome.

Gu Zhendong misunderstood and thought Su Linlang was a female star. ~

Eunuch Gu was about to answer, but when he saw the housekeeper sweating and trembling, he asked, "Uncle Jia, what's wrong with you?"

The housekeeper, Uncle Jia, was being chased and shouted at by his father-in-law, but he ignored him and ran away in a panic. But just as he was about to leave the hall, he bumped into the captain of the bodyguards. The two of them bumped into each other and even knocked over the waiter's tray.

In an instant, the wine was spilled, the glasses were smashed, and there was a lot of clanging. The dinner party turned into a mess.

Fortunately, the hall was full of fathers-in-law, who knew the difficulties of being the head of the family and didn't say anything.

But when Gu Zhendong saw how messed up the situation was, he said angrily, "There are three of us brothers. I can be the chairman of Gu Corporation because you gave birth to Kaixuan. But even though you gave birth to a son, you should not be so proud. Please control the servants, please."

So the husband is blaming himself!

Eunuch Gu thought that it was his father's instructions to bully Su Linlang, so why did his husband start scolding him instead?

So he plays the villain and they play the good guys!

His mother's family is the Malaysian rubber king, and he even gave birth to a golden grandson. Why should he suffer such humiliation!

Eunuch Gu was angry and aggrieved. Her husband had left again. He had no place to vent his anger. He was about to scold the housekeeper, but he heard the housekeeper say, "Eunuch, the guns of the two bodyguards are missing?"

"Bodyguard, the gun is lost!" Eunuch Gu was shocked: "Why are you crying?"

Not only did she not cry, but the housekeeper also said, "My intercom is also missing. What can I do now?"

Eunuch Gu was so frightened that his face turned pale and he staggered back step by step.

You know, this golf club is opened by the Gu family. All the guests invited today are important people. If the bodyguard loses his gun and the housekeeper loses his walkie-talkie, what if a kidnapping or shooting happens? What should we do?

Oh my God, will he and his children be killed?

Eunuch Gu was about to faint, but someone grabbed him by the waist and hugged him. He closed his eyes and saw that it was Su Linlang.

"Are you feeling unwell, Eunuch Gu? Come, sit down quickly." He used his elbow to push Eunuch Gu back to the sofa.

By the way, because his initial marriage proposal was rejected, Grandpa Gu has always had opinions about the He family. At Su Linlang's wedding, he and Sun Linda sang the same tune and made Su Linlang lose face.

He also often said in front of the fathers-in-law that Su Linlang was rustic and village-like, just a country sweet potato.

But at this moment, Su Linlang, in a dazzling green dress, was hugging him, and his silly daughter Gu Karen, could not control her eyes even more than the boys on the field. She stood behind Su Linlang and admired her green dress to her heart's content.

When he saw Su Linlang, Eunuch Gu remembered a particularly terrifying thing: the shooting after the He family’s wedding?

So, will such a horrible thing happen in his house today?

The thought made him even more dizzy, his legs became even weaker, and he collapsed on the sofa, unable to get up.

Looking back at Gu Karen, Su Linlang said, "Miss Gu, your mother doesn't seem to be feeling well. Go get her a cup of hot water."

Patting Eunuch Gu's chest, he said, "I've noticed that you don't look well, Eunuch Gu. Why is that?"

Without waiting for Eunuch Gu to answer, Su Linlang continued, "You have also heard about the disaster caused by the heavy rain along the Yangtze River, just like me. You feel the same way, not good!"

After all, Hong Kong people have yellow skin and there are few local indigenous people. Most of them have fled from all over the country. In recent years, the media has rarely reported news about the mainland because of resistance to return. The mainland government has always been tough in charity fundraising and rarely opens its mouth to the outside world, so wealthy businessmen from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan rarely donate to the mainland.

What Eunuch Gu was thinking about was the gun. Was it his bodyguard's gun that was lost?

She was very scared because her husband had three brothers, all of whom were capable and capable. The reason why her husband could become the chairman of the board of directors was because of his ability to give birth to children.

The only grandson in the family was killed. The bodyguard lost his gun. Will his son be in trouble?

Pulling his son over, he looked pale and extremely flustered, but nodded in response: "Hmm?"

When he said this, the other fathers-in-law also started to pay attention to the flood.

Eunuch Ji asked Su Linlang: "Has there been a flood in mainland China? Why hasn't the media reported it?"

Director Zhang's father-in-law asked: "Is it serious? Has anyone died? Do you want to donate?"

The Hong Kong government's annual International Charity Forum has the following procedure: the directors working in the Charity Federation will hold dinners at their respective homes and discuss charity topics at the dinners, such as famine in Africa, war refugees in the Middle East, and the welfare of local children and the elderly. They will list the projects that need assistance in different categories, and then make small-scale donations at the family dinners.

On 99 Charity Day, every family submitted donations and the Charity Federation held a thank-you dinner to thank everyone.

Of course, donating to wealthy families is a mutually beneficial activity because donations can offset taxes.

Donating money to charity is also a common way for wealthy businessmen in Hong Kong to legally avoid taxes, which is why everyone is so enthusiastic about it.

The theme of the dinner held at Gu's house today is to raise funds for orphans in British colonies in Africa. The expected donation is about 20 to 30 million.

But when Su Linlang mentioned the mainland, Eunuch Gu nodded and the topic was changed without any fuss.

From British colonies to mainland floods.

As the chairman of the He Group's board of directors, Su Linlang had done nothing but coordinate information about donations from the mainland. Of course, he came prepared. Seeing that the fathers-in-law were interested, he extended his hand and motioned Xu Tianxi to hand over the materials, saying, "So far, the heavy rain in Anhui has caused the deaths of more than 20,000 people. It's extremely tragic."

"More than 20,000 people died, is that possible?" Eunuch Ji exclaimed.

More than 20,000 people died. That's terrible.

The wife of President Zhang also had a pale face, but she said: "What is wrong with the Chinese government? Why didn't they make flood prevention preparations in advance? More than 20,000 lives were lost. If this is true, it is first of all the government's dereliction of duty. It seems that the Chinese government is just like what our Hong Kong media described, a bit inactive?"

Su Linlang first took out a mainland newspaper about the flood and showed it to the eunuchs to prove the truth of the incident, and then said, "Eunuch Zhang, as the saying goes, water and fire are merciless. You can look at the report. It was a once-in-a-century torrential rain. It rained 4.45 meters. What kind of government and what kind of flood control can stop it!"

Newspapers in mainland China are all in simplified Chinese, but simplified and traditional Chinese are interchangeable.

Su Linlang brought the People's Daily, and the headline on the front page was: [Deep condolences, Anhui's heavy rain caused millions of people to suffer, more than 20,000 deaths, leaders are visiting the front line to express their condolences?]

He asked his fathers-in-law to read the newspaper. He took out the donation form he had prepared long ago, filled in 200,000 yuan on it, and then filled in his own name. Then he said, "I just came from the mainland and just got married. I don't have much money. This is all my savings at present. Of course, I will donate it all to my fellow countrymen."

Looking at Grandpa Gu again, he said, "Seeing how sad you are, you must want to donate. How much do you want to donate?"

At this time, Gu Karen brought some water and handed it to Grandpa Gu. Seeing that his mother looked pale and absent-minded, she reminded him, "Mom, Miss Su is asking you about your donation. Didn't you hear her?"

Eunuch Gu was still wondering where the bodyguard's gun had gone. He was in a panic and thought that the donation should be made to the British colonies in Africa. The British government would be happy if he donated there. He had already planned to donate 500,000, so he wrote 50 and filled in his own name, Mary.

As long as you fill in the amount and name on the donation form, it is equivalent to making a donation.

On 99 Charity Day, the charity association will transfer the money to the corresponding places based on the donation form.

Su Linlang thought that Eunuch Gu was worthy of being the daughter of the rubber king, and her actions were indeed generous.

It seems that if there are any donations in the future, Grandpa Gu will have to contribute.

With Mr. Gu setting a good example, the amount of donations from others cannot be too small.

Besides, the suffering of our compatriots in mainland China due to the floods certainly resonates with everyone more than the children in Africa, so Uncle Ji took the form, filled in 400,000 yuan, and said, "This is my pocket money, donate it quickly."

The wife of President Zhang shook her head and sighed: "My hometown is Jiangsu, and I don't know if it has been affected by the flood."

He also filled in 400,000. When he turned around, he saw a group of unmarried rich young men standing in a row on the side, chatting. He handed the form to them and said, "You are all young talents of the Hong Kong government. You can't be worse than us in this regard. Everyone should donate a little."

Most of the unmarried young men who came today were of the same generation as He Pushu, and they were all talking about He Pushu.

Moreover, they were particularly curious about He Puting's father-in-law, Miss Su Linlang, who was dressed in a green dress and spoke elegantly. They all wanted to show their courtesy to him and have a few words with him, but the other fathers-in-law surrounded him and they couldn't get a word in.

All women are happy to donate money to beautiful women.

Of course, these rich young men who only had pocket money had ample funds, with some donating NT$100,000 or NT$200,000 each. In a blink of an eye, they pledged millions more, and in this hall, they raised NT$3 million by circulating the pledge slips.

But poor Eunuch Gu was still extremely confused and at a loss for words, and he was so anxious that tears came out.

He looks after the butler, the butler looks after the bodyguards, and the bodyguards are in a panic, looking for guns everywhere?

The boy didn't like staying with his mother. Gu Kaixuan struggled to get rid of his mother and asked Su Linlang enthusiastically: "Auntie, do you like playing billiards? If not, we can also play table football or go. Let's go play."

Before Grandpa Gu could pull his son back, his son had already run away.

He habitually yelled at his daughter: "Why don't you follow your brother and look after her!"

Apparently, even wealthy families favor boys over girls, and Karen Gu is the one who is looked down upon.

It was not convenient for him to go against his mother in public, so he pouted and chased after his brother.

After discussing the donation, Su Linlang finally let Eunuch Gu go. He immediately stood up and took the housekeeper to one side. Of course, Su Linlang picked up a snack, took a drink, and tiptoed over. Then she heard the housekeeper say, "The gun is not found, and my walkie-talkie is not found either. Eunuch, this matter is too serious. We can't handle it. Report it to the master and let everyone evacuate quickly, right?"

Eunuch Gu sighed for a long time, then scolded the housekeeper, saying, "The banquet has just begun and we have to end it hastily. How would other eunuchs cry to me? My sisters-in-law would say that I am incapable of managing the household! We can't retreat. Go and look for it quickly. Try to find the gun."

The housekeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead, sighed, and left helplessly.

After watching with a cold eye, Su Linlang finally understood why Zhang Huaqiang targeted the Gu family.

Charity month has just begun, and old lady Gu is the chief director of the Charity Federation. This month, she has to prepare a large sum of cash for donations. However, grandpa Gu, the youngest son of the head of the family, is too lame.

The correct approach to this matter was for her to immediately notify her husband, then inform old lady Gu, and then notify the guests to gather their bodyguards, and then send everyone away. After that, she should reorganize the bodyguard team and strengthen the security line.

But Eunuch Gu actually kept the matter secret for the sake of his own face.

For a father-in-law who is so ignorant, Zhang Huaqiang would probably feel embarrassed if he didn't tie up her son.

Of course, he was determined to bully Su Linlang today.

Su Linlang was not kind-hearted and was happy to let him worry for a while longer.

Holding a glass of wine, Su Linlang cast his gaze towards the small hall at the other end of the corridor.

Compared to the bustling lobby, the small hall was quiet and silent.

But the donations from the fathers-in-law were just pocket money, a small portion. The bulk of today’s donations were in the small hall.

In 1984, Anhui suffered a devastating flood, and millions of people were affected. If the farm father were alive and saw what his daughter had done, he would definitely be very pleased, because Su Linlang would have tried every possible way to bring all the donations back to Anhui?

…

There should be a limit to crying as a joke. Bodyguards are also employees and should not be made too difficult for them.

So when Su Linlang saw that several bodyguards were almost scared to death, she found Xu Tianxi and asked her to put the gun in a more conspicuous place so that the bodyguards could find it in time and take it back.

The bodyguard captain's dagger cannot be returned. It is a bargaining chip and Su Linlang will only take it out at the critical moment.

There was another one, the intercom of the Gu family’s butler. At this time, the butler was standing in the corridor leading to the small hall, about to burst into tears, when Su Linlang walked over with the intercom: “Uncle, I just picked up this thing, is it yours?”

The housekeeper was stunned, then said, "Yes, it's mine."

What was that called? She survived a disaster. This eunuch He was literally her life-saving straw.

Butler Jia took the intercom and said gratefully: "Thank you, Miss Su?"

She took the walkie-talkie and went to find the bodyguards. The two bodyguards who had lost their guns were also very anxious, but in the blink of an eye, the gun was found again, and in a very conspicuous place.

We looked at each other as if we had seen a ghost, but we didn't dare to say anything. We could only look at each other, fearful and anxious.

…

Su Linlang walked to the entrance of the small hall. There were more than a dozen women inside, smoking cigars, drinking red wine, and chatting in low voices.

But He Puting was not there. He looked carefully but did not find the old lady from the Gu family.

So he continued walking forward and found a small private room. He Puting was standing with his back to him, leaning on a crutch with one hand. An old man in his eighties, slightly fat, with a ruddy face was sitting on the sofa, and there was also a middle-aged man in a well-dressed suit with a serious look. One of them was the old lady of the Gu family, Gu Tianqi, and the other was the head of the Gu family, Gu Zhendong.

He just walked over and heard He Puting say, "Gu's company has such good resources. If you listen to me, your output value can double. But you just don't want to do it because of your own selfish thoughts. The market will shrink. When the change comes, if you don't change, you will be eliminated."

Old lady Gu was crying: "Pu Ting, you are young and I can understand your radical ideas, but experience is important in the business world. As the saying goes, if you don't listen to the advice of the elderly, you will suffer losses. I think our Gu family will not necessarily be eliminated, but you are so aggressive, sooner or later you will suffer a big loss?"

"The reason why we don't listen to the advice of the elderly is that our country used to be an agricultural society and needed the experience of the elderly. But now it is an economic society and we are in the financial industry. I obviously have more experience than you." He Puting responded tit for tat.

Old lady Gu must be very angry. Although she was still crying, she was coughing violently.

No one knew what they were arguing about, but Gu Zhendong happened to be standing opposite and saw Su Linlang. She stood up and asked, "Who are you?"

After taking a closer look, he said, "This guy might be Pu Ting's father-in-law!"

Old Lady Gu happened to be sitting across the door. When she heard the words of Grandpa Pu Ting, she also looked up and saw: "This is Grandpa Pu Ting!"

There are also women in charge of the Hong Kong government, but they are naturally rejected by men.

Of course, even if Su Linlang was the chairman of the He Group, he would never be invited by the women of various families to discuss serious matters.

But he came to donate money, so he would not be invited. He walked into the box openly and said, "Yes."

Young Master He had been facing Old Lady Gu, but when she turned around suddenly, she saw her husband.

A brand new husband.

She thought the dress would be a cute pink puff sleeve like a princess, but she didn't expect that the dress her mother chose was a completely opposite color, green, and He Puting didn't know how to describe it.

In her mind, the little sister is a princess, but when her mother puts on makeup and dresses her up, she becomes a noble and cold queen.

Gu Zhendong had just mistakenly thought that this was a female star and felt a little sorry, but since women were not allowed to be present when talking, she prepared to persuade Su Linlang to go back to the hall.

But just as she was about to persuade someone, she heard her father say, "Miss Su, sit down and let's chat for a while."

Young Master He was just arguing with Old Lady Gu, aggressively challenging an old lady.

The rage value of the Lord.

When her husband passed by her, she was stunned and subconsciously clenched her crutches.

The skirt has suspenders in the front and a large back, which just reveals his exquisite butterfly bones and slender waist, and is gathered at key locations. As he is good at sports, the pores on his back are delicate and smooth, without even a tiny black mole. His entire back is as white as jade and is extremely beautiful.

He Puting felt something was wrong behind him and turned around. Gu Zhendong immediately withdrew his gaze and covered up his embarrassment with a violent cough.

She said, "Father, we have something serious to discuss. Let Grandpa Puting go back. We can talk about it later."

Old lady Gu was just irritated by He Puting and almost flipped the table, but when she saw Su Linlang, she felt a little happy.

It’s not because of him. There is a mystery about this man. Let’s talk about it later. What she wants to talk about is a more interesting topic.

Unlike He Zhihuan who only has one wife and is rather old-fashioned, Old Lady Gu has a wife and a concubine, and is also good at chatting with girls.

When seeing a beautiful woman, as long as she is not hanging on the wall, women can't help but be slick. Old Master Gu cried and said, "I have heard people mention Master Pu Ting many times, and I have also seen your photo in the newspaper, but in my opinion, those reporters in the newspaper should all be fired, they didn't take Miss Su's beauty to the fullest."

Su Linlang sat to the side: "Grandpa Gu is really humorous?"

He thought to himself, it's no wonder that the eldest daughter of the Mai family chose He Zhihuan, an old man who still wants to flatter young women at the age of eighty. If it were him, he would also dislike him.

Of course, with her son right in front of her, Old Lady Gu had to be more restrained.

She glanced at He Pu Ting, tears in her eyes and some sarcasm, and said, "Pu Xu called my Karen two days ago and said that he was suffering terribly on the farm in mainland China?"

This brings us to He Puxu again.

It has been half a month since she was sent to the farm, and her experiences during this half month have been full of ups and downs.

It is said that the farm was showing a movie on the first day she went there, but she relied on her own strength to turn on the loudspeaker and sing and dance, and successfully attracted all the people who came to watch the movie to her small stage with a space walk.

That night, the entire state-owned farm went crazy for her?

Because of He Puting's reputation, the people on the farm loved her and treated her very well. She felt fresh when she first arrived, and she danced and sang for everyone every day, attracting people from the entire Dan County to the state-owned farm, and also helped the seasoning factory recruit a lot of female employees. In life, the girls on the farm also cooked for her in various ways, and every meal was either big abalone or big lobster, so that she could eat good food.

Seeing that her pants couldn't cover her buttocks and her clothes were too small for her belly, the girls spontaneously raised money to buy her new clothes.

So her life can be said to have reached its peak on the farm.

But not only did she not cherish it, she also complained that the girls on the farm were ugly and that the farm was lonely and boring with no entertainment activities. So she secretly took the only phone on the farm and called her friends.

She called Gu Karen many times because she wanted to marry Gu Karen to form a powerful alliance.

Of course, she kept complaining on the phone about the poverty and hardship in the mainland, saying that she could only eat lobster and abalone every day and was almost fed up. She also asked Gu Karen to beg his grandfather to ask Old Lady Gu to bow her head to the He family again and quickly arrange a marriage to save her.

International long-distance calls from the mainland to Hong Kong cost 21 yuan per minute?

Whenever Manager Qin called the He family, he would write down the estimated time for the manuscript in advance, for fear of exceeding the time limit and wasting money.

But as soon as He Pushu picked up the phone, she started talking on the phone for a long time. By the time Director Qin found out, she had already spent 3,000 yuan on phone bills, which was ten years' salary for a farm worker.

A farmer could only earn three thousand yuan after working hard for ten years, but she spent three thousand yuan just on phone calls in just a few days?

No one can tolerate it.

In a rage, Director Qin drove away all the girls surrounding He Pushu. He didn't let her feed the pigs, but arranged her to work on the production line to pay off her debts.

Afraid that the girls would be bewitched by her, she was surrounded by old ladies. The abalone and lobster were cancelled, and she ate pickled vegetable steamed buns like everyone else.

This is He Puxu’s current situation on the farm.

Since He Zhihuan, three generations have passed. Not to mention how much the Gu family has troubled the He family, the He family has never bowed their heads to the Gu family.

But He Puxu not only lowered his head, he also knelt down and tried to hug Gu Jia's thighs.

Gu Karen is the daughter of a wealthy family. Not to mention her own personality, if she wants to marry someone, she would choose someone like He Puting, who has long been designated and specially trained as an heir.

He Puxu has a prostitute mother whose bloodline is still in doubt. How could the Gu family possibly look down on her?

So this matter was just a tearful matter in the Gu family, and the Gu family also regarded He Puxu as a jumping clown. Several times when she called, old lady Gu would listen in and treat it as a joke.

She specifically called Su Linlang to sit for a while, so that she could cry to her heart's content about He Pushu in front of him and He Pushing, and at the same time, slap the He family in the face.

But He Puxu was just a piece of trash, and Su Linlang didn't even take her as a human being.

He was too lazy to talk about congratulations to Park Wook.

Straight to the point, he just talked about charity. He said, "I heard that everyone is talking about a donation plan of nearly 20 million today. It just so happens that our mainland has suffered a flood, which is rare in a century. Grandpa Gu, regarding this fund, you must give priority to our mainland, right? Can I ask how much you plan to give to the mainland!"

When the mainland was mentioned, Old Lady Gu became furious and snorted loudly.

Of course, she had reasons to be angry.

Her ancestral home is in Guangdong. Although she came to Hong Kong a hundred years ago, she has relatives in mainland China. In the 1960s, because of her overseas connections, those relatives had a particularly miserable life.

Several of my cousins ​​died before they even made it through the decade.

Guangdong people value family and family friendship. After the reform and opening up, she brought all her relatives to Hong Kong and has always been very unclear about the mainland government.

She was born in the Governor's House in Hong Kong, and the reason she was able to make money was all thanks to Britain's trade network around the world. Of course, her feelings for Britain must be deeper.

As for Su Linlang, Master Lu Liu was defeated by him, and was completely defeated.

But Master Lu Liu didn't tell Old Lady Gu how good a fighter Su Linlang was. He only said that he was a sugarcane champion with amazing sword skills, and with the help of the He family's bodyguards, he won the competition.

Of course, people in the formal business world don't engage in fiery exchanges. What they compete on is intelligence and the ability to make money.

So old lady Gu knew that Su Linlang's swordsmanship was amazing and that he could fight. She was deeply moved and said that He Zhihuan was extremely smart and had married her eldest grandson a husband who was like a personal bodyguard.

However, bodyguards are people who only have strength but no brains, and are not worthy of being considered as such in the eyes of the rich lord.

So Old Lady Gu was quite interested in Su Linlang, but not very much. Of course, she didn't think he was qualified to discuss serious matters with her.

But as an old businessman, she is well-mannered and would not quarrel with a girl. Since the girl had already asked the question, the old woman could not help but answer it.

She then said, "What we are talking about today is indeed a donation of 20 million, which we are going to donate to Botswana. I don't know if you know Botswana, which is a poor country in Africa. The people there have long lived on the poverty line. Every year, tens of thousands of children die from hunger, malaria and various infectious diseases. It is our responsibility and obligation to help them."

Gu Zhendong also said to He Puting: "Let's talk about business, or you can send your lover out!"

He Puting was leaning on a crutch with one hand, and she remained silent and expressionless, but when Gu Zhendong asked her a question, she suddenly started crying.

This young man, who is the youngest among the Manchu heirs but also the best at making money, started arguing with old lady Gu as soon as she arrived today, and they have been arguing for quite some time.

Old lady Gu was angry, and she was angry too, and both of them looked unhappy, but at this moment, she actually cried.

Gu Zhendong was very confused. He thought that it was okay to cry about He Puxu, but why would he cry about donations? Then he heard Su Linlang say, "As far as I know, Botswana is also a British colony like the Hong Kong government, or a place blessed by the Queen. If children in Botswana are hungry, it should be the British government's responsibility. Why should we Hong Kong people help them?"

In the eyes of the pro-British faction, colonization is not called colonization, but protection, which comes from the British Empire and the blessing of the Queen.

A girl from the mainland, in Old Lady Gu's opinion, should not even know where Africa is, but she kept talking about colonization and protection, and her words were so full of sarcasm that she could not refute them.

Before she could speak, Su Linlang continued, "I heard that your ancestral home is the same as mine. Anhui is not far from Guangdong. Grandpa Gu, the torrential rain that occurs once in a century has killed 20,000 people and millions more are in urgent need of assistance. It happened last month. This is reported in the news. If I were you, I would not hesitate to transfer all my money to the mainland?"*

Gu Zhendong saw the news and sat back on the sofa. Driven by her hometown feelings, she actually wanted to donate some money to the mainland.

But her father had a grudge against mainland China and had never donated money to the mainland. She estimated that her grandfather would definitely refuse.

Sure enough, the old man cried and said, "Pu Ting thinks that we are all old and confused, and we can't compare to her in being smart and making money. I admire her in this aspect. I heard that she bought the bottom of Xiyuan some time ago and invested 50 million. Now the stock value has tripled. She can make a net profit of 100 million. I am not as good as her in this aspect, and neither is Zhendong. But in the Hong Kong government, people still have to respect the elderly, and since I am a director of the Charity Federation, I will weigh all parties and use the donations where they should be used. So you, the He family, just worry about making your own money. Charity matters are not your business. You should also stop interfering. Okay, you can get out?"

The tone was so harsh and she ordered him to leave. The old man didn't even cry physically, which proved that she was very angry.

There was a donation form on the table in front of her, and the amount had already been allocated to each wealthy businessmen. All she had to do was wait for the head of the family to sign.

She specifically called He Puting to come because she wanted to force her to sign and pledge to donate to Africa.

But today we cannot convince this old man, so once everyone signs the donation form, the money will be automatically transferred out.

Of course not.

Su Linlang held her donation form in her hands and sighed softly.

Old Lady Gu ordered him to leave again: "Since you've asked, I'll give you 50,000 yuan personally. Go find the housekeeper and she'll sign for you."

The fathers-in-law outside each pledged four or five hundred thousand, but she only gave fifty thousand. She is like giving alms to beggars!

The bodyguard captain's dagger was stolen by He Pu and given to Xu Tianxi. Just before entering the corridor, Su Linlang took it back and kept it for future use.

The dagger was in his bag. Instead of handing over the donation form, he opened the bag and took out the dagger.

The older the rich man is, the more he fears death. The dagger carried by the bodyguard is not a work of art for viewing. It is obvious that it is a mass-murderer.

Old lady Gu thought he wanted her to sign for him, so she stretched out her hand to take the donation form. When she saw the dagger, she was so scared that she almost fell off the sofa. She trembled and screamed, "What, what is this?" Then she shouted, "Bodyguard, where is the bodyguard!"

Gu Zhendong was also frightened and jumped onto the sofa: "That's a knife, Pu Ting, why does your father-in-law want a knife!"

Why did Miss He cry just now? Because she could guess that when her husband asked for a donation, he must have chips in his hand that could force old lady Gu to donate.

But she didn't expect it to be a dagger.

A man in a green dress, surrounded by jewels, radiant and dazzling, with a stern temperament like a queen. He has stern eyebrows, murderous eyes, and two small follicles in the corners of his buttocks.

He cried and said, "I just picked it up. Why don't you ask the servants if someone in the house has lost it?"
