Chapter 100 Chapter 100 (Second update at 18:00) Car...
The cruise ship from South Africa to the port city was sailing on the sea. The journey was long and arduous, but the port city had gradually changed.
Although his son and daughter-in-law were crazy and even acted out a divorce scene to the very end, Cheng Guanjie didn't understand it, but he couldn't deny that the effect was excellent.
With Huanyu's strength and foundation, it should not have fallen into the quagmire so quickly. Cheng Wanting cut off the source of the trouble and intervened himself only to accelerate the collapse of the alliance between Liu Zhigao and the British businessmen, and at the same time make other Hong Kong businessmen feel insecure.
As everyone learned that Cheng Wanting and Lin Keying had divorced under notarization by a lawyer and divided their property, cracks did appear in the alliance between Liu Zhigao and the British merchants.
The two sides had their own ideas about the fight for Huanyu and competed secretly.
Liu Zhigao invited Lin Keying to meet again and proposed to buy out her shares in Huanyu. Lin Keying only smiled faintly and said, "There are many people who have come to me recently to buy out Huanyu shares, both Easterners and Westerners. Mr. Liu, I need to think about it carefully."
Lin Keying's words made Liu Zhigao understand instantly that it must be the British businessman William who had also made a move, trying to bypass him and swallow up Huanyu.
"Ms. Lin, I am willing to add an extra bid. No matter how much the person who comes to you to buy the stock offers, I will add another 20% to the price."
Lin Keying smiled and said, "Mr. Liu is really generous. I really prefer to do business with Chinese people. Don't worry, I will consider it carefully."
Liu Zhigao was full of confidence that he would be able to take over the stocks held by Lin Keying. He even had an argument with William, the representative of the British merchants, and was unwilling to just follow the British merchants and reap the benefits.
Not long after meeting Liu Zhigao, Lin Keying received the latest intelligence and found clues in the photos taken by paparazzi Tang Qiankun.
"Liu Zhigao has conspired with several major Hong Kong businessmen in the Hong Kong-British alliance, and it seems that he is going to turn against them completely."
"Several representatives of British merchants have also met frequently. They will definitely not let go of the little brother who betrayed the alliance easily."
Lin Keying asked Tang Qiankun to leak the information about the photos to the other party, just to sow discord: "Words are not enough. These photos are more intuitive. There is no need to say anything. They will suspect each other on their own."
Tang Qiankun was an expert at spreading gossip, so he immediately took the photos and went to do the job.
To the outside world, she appeared to be a newly divorced person. While keeping an eye on Liu Zhigao and the British businessman, Lin Keying discovered that there were many people around her, all of them men.
This young, beautiful woman with huge wealth has become the dream lover of almost all the young talents in Hong Kong.
The marriage has ended, and the men who did not dare to pursue Lin Keying in the past due to Cheng Wanting's tyranny are now ready to make a move and even take direct action.
"Young Master." Yang Minghui has been too busy lately. It is gratifying that Huanyu's rivals are showing signs of internal strife, but the situation on his wife's side is not optimistic. "After hearing that his wife is getting divorced, almost all the men in Hong Kong have come to her. They are really toads wanting to eat swan meat!"
Seeing the young master's unhappy expression, Yang Minghui's voice of reporting became lower and lower.
"Recently, my wife's Xitian Building, Hongsheng Entertainment Company, and Mid-Levels Villa have all received red roses, conservatively around 40 to 50 bouquets every day."
"Where are the photos?" Cheng Wanting said lightly.
Yang Minghui handed Cheng Wanting the photos he had sent people to take in the past few days of many wealthy businessmen holding roses to express their love to Lin Keying.
Huanyu is dying soon. You can burn paper for him from now on, whether you have something to do or not.
Naturally, everyone no longer needed to be too wary of Cheng Wanting, and they became bolder and more enthusiastic in pursuing Cheng Wanting's ex-wife.
Whenever the women in the photos appear in shopping malls, buildings, cinemas, Peninsula Hotel restaurants or racetracks, they are easily surrounded by men who try to strike up a conversation with them.
Rich businessmen, movie stars, singers...all kinds of people came out.
"What is this?" Cheng Wanting saw a photo in which Lin Keying and Ms. Zhao, the heiress to a jade tycoon, appeared outside a villa.
"Oh." Yang Minghui reported immediately, "Zhao Meizhu has been very open-minded since her divorce. When she heard that her wife was also divorced, she immediately took her out for a swim and... even prepared eight male models to accompany her."
Thinking of the bold Zhao Meizhu whom he met in the bar last time, Cheng Wanting frowned slightly.
"Master, don't worry. Madam only admired the male model's body and didn't touch him at all. Unlike Zhao Meizhu, she directly touched the male model's chest and abdominal muscles one by one..." As Yang Minghui spoke, he felt that the more he explained, the worse it got.
"Look, isn't your wife smiling happily?" Cheng Wanting said to Yang Minghui, pointing at the photo.
Yang Minghui glanced at his wife who was clearly just smiling politely in the photo: "...No, ma'am, this is just for show. You have to play the role of a divorced rich woman. You can't refuse too much."
Cheng Wanting's temples were throbbing with pain. He took a look at the latest stock market situation and decided to speed up: "Liu Zhigao and the British merchants have shown signs of falling out. You go and add fuel to the fire. The establishment of the Chinese United Chamber of Commerce is led by Guo Changda and his wife. We need to increase lobbying efforts and can't waste any more time. Finally, contact the mainland..."
"Yes." Yang Minghui heard the eldest young master's instructions and knew that the eldest young master's patience had reached its limit.
Cheng Wanting stood tall in front of the huge French window, overlooking the scenery of the thirty-two-story high-rise buildings, and everything seemed small: "Since Huanyu can't fight two of us, let all of Hong Kong fight together to fight against British capital."
——
The Chinese United Chamber of Commerce, led by Guo Changda and his wife, secretly recruited members and, thanks to the bandit-like actions of Liu Zhigao and British businessmen, automatically had excellent conditions for lobbying and propaganda.
Fearing that they would be in trouble if Huanyu collapsed, many local businessmen in Hong Kong secretly joined the company.
Even the Chief Secretary tried his best to help its establishment.
The chairman of the Far East Stock Exchange was even more involved in it. After all, more than ten years ago, the Chinese were severely suppressed when the only stock exchange in Hong Kong, the Xiangjiang Club, was fully controlled by British capital. The first Chinese stock exchange was established in humiliation.
Today, in the face of the strong and domineering British capital, the chairman of the Far East Club, Hong Kong’s first stock exchange dominated by Chinese, also strongly supports the establishment of the Hong Kong Chinese United Chamber of Commerce.

Lin Keying, who created the illusion of divorce to the outside world, became a single wealthy woman. When she learned that her plan was being implemented in an orderly manner, she felt relieved, but she also found that there were too many men around her.
Even if I politely refused with a smile, my face would hurt.
However, she was shocked by how much Ms. Zhao Meizhu played.
A few days ago, Ms. Zhao dragged her to see eight male models. Looking at Ms. Zhao being surrounded by men, Lin Keying couldn't help but admire her.
Today, she was shocked again by Ms. Zhao's blunt question: "Ms. Lin, do you want to support a few young male celebrities in the entertainment industry? I can introduce you to any good ones."
Lin Keying: "..."
Sister, you’ve been playing too extravagantly, how many more do you want? !
Cheng Wanting alone is so energetic that he feels sore in the waist and legs.
Zhao Meizhu advised as a person who had experienced it: "Last time I didn't know that Secretary Cheng beside you was the famous Cheng Wanting, the boss of Huanyu Group. I didn't expect that you two had so much fun together, playing the roles of female CEO and secretary. But now that you are divorced, why do you still care about your ex-husband? We women should enjoy what we should enjoy."
Unable to enjoy the good fortune, Lam Keying declined Ms. Zhao's enthusiastic sharing and only went shopping in the Central Shopping Mall, buying a few diamond necklaces and gold jewelry, easily spending millions and competently playing the role of a divorced wealthy woman.
Carrying the shopping bags to the garage to pick up the car, Lin Keying was just glad that Ms. Zhao's words would not fall into Cheng Wanting's ears.
Otherwise, I really don’t know what this man would feel.
There were several cars parked in the dim underground garage. Lin Keying saw her own Bentley Mulsanne with license plate number A99 from afar. She was about to move forward but was suddenly stopped by Yang Minghui.
"Madam, the young master is waiting for you in the car over there."
Lin Keying was surprised when someone suddenly appeared, but she objected: "We are divorced now! How can we meet right away, and do it secretly like this?"
Yang Minghui explained seriously: "Madam, don't worry, the young master personally drove a new car here, and the license plate number is not under Huanyu's name. No one will know that it is you who are sitting in the car."
Lin Keying: "..."
It was a very thorough plan.
There was no one else in the underground garage. Lin Keying walked to an unfamiliar Lamborghini and saw Cheng Wanting in the driver's seat.
At the same time, Yang Minghui drove the Rolls-Royce Phantom that Cheng Wanting was driving today, and Sheng Tielan drove the Bentley that Lin Keying was driving today, and they left one after another.
Liu Zhigao and the people planted by the British merchants witnessed the target leaving, and then drove to follow.
......
The brand new and unfamiliar Lamborghini drove out of the garage later and started galloping freely.
Although their divorce was fake, even Cheng Wanting had arranged for the spies to follow and monitor the two to misunderstand and instead follow the car driven by Yang Minghui and Sheng Tielan as they left.
But Lin Keying still felt like a thief. They were divorced on the surface, but they were still meeting secretly. It was not good.
"Otherwise, you can just take me to the villa halfway up the mountain and park the car, and I'll go back by myself." Lin Keying knew that things were going well, but at the critical moment, she was worried that all her efforts would be wasted.
"It's okay, I have something to talk to you about." Cheng Wanting took the steering wheel and drove all the way to the top of Victoria Peak, stopping on the deserted mountain road after the area was cleared.
The tree-lined road was quiet and dim, and the shadows of the trees were heavy, swaying in the early summer breeze, making rustling sounds.
Lin Keying couldn't wait to confirm with the man the movements of Liu Zhigao and the British businessmen: "Liu Zhigao and William were obviously tempted by the interests of Huanyu and had a disagreement. They have been secretly contacting other people in the past few days. They must want to bypass the other party and take over Huanyu alone."
Cheng Wanting parked the new car he had secretly purchased and spoke in the silence: "Well, within a week, I will personally make them fight, and within half a month, this farce will be over."
"So fast?" Lin Keying was surprised and then thought, "The United Chamber of Commerce has already absorbed a lot of Hong Kong businessmen. The godparents already have a high status in the industry. In addition, the previous experience of Huanyu is thought-provoking. They can compete with British capital."
"The land auction will be held in more than a month. Which Hong Kong businessman would not want to get a piece of the pie?" Cheng Wanting had a good grasp of everyone's psychology and was confident. "The resources taken from the British capital and Liu Zhigao will be put up for competition by everyone in the Chamber of Commerce. No one will not be envious."
In the past, the Chamber of Commerce controlled by British capital was marginalized everywhere, and local Hong Kong businessmen were inferior. Now that there is a Chinese Chamber of Commerce taking the lead, who would not be tempted?
Lin Keying calculated the time but was worried that the British capital was too powerful. She was nervous and excited but also worried: "But if the British capital came to the Governor's government..."
"Don't worry." Cheng Wanting's eyes were firm. "There are already many people in the Governor's Government who are not used to the arrogance of British capital. Don't forget that the lease agreement signed between China and Britain back then has a time limit after all."
Lin Keying was stunned. She didn't expect that Cheng Wanting, a native of Hong Kong, would have such a confident argument for this.
The Hong Kong city returned in 1898, which was the date of the 99-year lease signed in 1898.
However, even with a clear date, it took some effort to get Hong Kong back.
When Lin Keying heard Cheng Wanting's tone when he mentioned the mainland, and thought of his usual confidence and the fact that he bought ten courtyard houses for her so quickly last time, she couldn't help but be shocked: "You...are you connected to the mainland?"
Cheng Wanting turned to look at the woman, and his heart seemed to be hit again.
The body restrained by the seatbelt slowly approached, and the thin lips opened slightly: "You always know how to guess what I'm thinking."
Facing Lin Keying's surprised look, Cheng Wanting explained calmly, "Two years ago, after I met a mainland businessman who came to Hong Kong, I found that the mainland market was huge and had great prospects. I secretly invested in building factories and companies in the mainland, and later built some schools. In this way, I also had some connections with the mainland government."
"No wonder." Lin Keying muttered in a low voice, "No wonder you bought the courtyard house so quickly, it turns out you have someone up there!"
"You are in contact with the mainland, aren't you afraid of being targeted by British forces?"
"Sooner or later, Hong Kong will inevitably return to the embrace of the mainland." Cheng Wanting has long seen through the ugly face of the British side. "Whether it is linked or not, it will be suppressed by British capital. On the contrary, the mainland has broad prospects. In the business world, early layout can ensure a stable foothold."
This time, Huanyu entered the game not only to fight against several British businessmen such as Liu Zhigao and William Charles, but also to take the opportunity to compete with British capital in Hong Kong.
Without this opportunity, the Chinese United Chamber of Commerce would have found it difficult to persuade so many Hong Kong businessmen to join.
Lin Keying was shocked by this man's foresight and how he could choose the right side in such a historical process.
After all, it is only 81 years now, and it is not even the historical moment when the mainland meets with the British Prime Minister to negotiate the return of Hong Kong. Cheng Wanting has been able to use his keen sense of smell to determine the future development situation and take a strong stand!
Lin Keying stared at the man in a daze. Beneath Cheng Wanting's handsome appearance, his innate self-confidence and arrogance made her heart beat faster.
The early summer night breeze was cool and the surroundings were quiet. A car was parked on the empty roadside. Lin Keying was about to ask more about Cheng Wanting's contact with the mainland, but she saw the man take out a stack of photos from the car trunk and handed them to her.
"Is Mrs. Cheng doing well these days?"
Oh no.
Come here to call for punishment!
Putting the mainland aside for the moment, Lin Keying smiled slightly: "It's okay. I just have to play the role of a divorced rich woman under the surveillance of Liu Zhigao and the British businessman~"
The man flipped through the photos one by one with his bony fingers, his eyes burning: "So many people sent roses to Mrs. Cheng. It seems that they really thought I was dead."
Lin Keying: "..."
Of course not. In the eyes of those wealthy people, Huanyu is now something that can be worshipped with burning paper.
"I didn't agree to any of them, and I declined the dinner invitation." Lin Keying knew that the man was extremely possessive.
"I think Mrs. Cheng is smiling very happily and sweetly." Cheng Wanting took out a photo of Lin Keying seeing eight male models wearing swimming trunks with their upper body abdominal muscles exposed.
In the photo, Lin Keying looks frightened but also a little surprised. Apart from anything else, it is indeed a feast for the eyes.
"It's okay." Lin Keying moved closer to the man, her eyebrows curved and her smile blooming. "Now, isn't my smile to you even sweeter?"
Frankly speaking, no matter how handsome or how good-looking those male models are, they are still inferior to Cheng Wanting.
The man had sharp eyebrows and sharp eyes, a tough face, and his deep eyes were particularly aggressive.
Hearing this, Cheng Wanting curled his thin lips and spoke like a ghost: "It's too late, Mrs. Cheng, I just want you to cry now."
Lin Keying was stunned, then smiled, as if a spring breeze was blowing on her face: "You are willing to let me cry?"
"Yeah." Cheng Wanting seemed to recall certain moments in his mind, the woman's face flushed, her eyes filled with tears, biting her red lips and moaning, trying her best to endure. "At some point, of course I'm willing to give it up."
The man's eyes were like sharp arrows, about to pierce her body. Lin Keying's whole body was tense, and her mouth became dry due to the man's gaze.
The night breeze was cool, but the temperature in the car rose rapidly. The man next to me unbuckled his seat belt and leaned forward.
"When I saw you smiling so sweetly in the photo that day, I thought about making you cry."
