Chapter 61 Chapter 61
The waiter removed the coffee that Chen Songxian had drunk and brought a new cup to Cheng Wanting.
As the ceramic cup rested gently on the table, Lin Keying replied to the man, "His name is Kevin. He was sent by Ms. Song."
Cheng Wanting had no impression of the Chen family member whose English name was Kevin.
He quickly passed over the topic and turned to talk to Charles about the development of Sha Tin.
Even though he was one of the top ten richest businessmen in Hong Kong, Cheng Wanting had certain connections in the Governor's Government and could get involved in key areas. This government, which was actually controlled by Britain, still gave priority to British capital.
Cheng Wanting changed his mindset and decided that instead of fighting to the death with the Governor's government, it would be better to let British capital pave the way for him.
"Mr. Charles, Shatin is now lagging behind Central and Western District, Mong Kok, Yau Ma Tei... but it still has a lot to offer and huge potential for development."
Cheng Wanting had a detailed discussion with Charles, which boosted the confidence of Charles, who held the land in Sha Tin. However, he was good at taking advantage of the ready-made products, such as building buildings and selling them in well-developed areas, but he was not good at actually reclaiming wasteland.
"The Governor's Government should provide additional subsidies to Shatin, and government resources should also be allocated." Cheng Wanting patiently persuaded Charles and worked out a detailed development plan. Finally, he mentioned, "Mr. Charles can draw up the specific development plan first. If you have any questions, I am willing to answer them at any time."
Charles looked at the man in front of him with deep eyebrows and eyes, and shook hands with him, but in his heart he was thinking about the man's stupidity.
The businessmen in Hong Kong are not very smart and they are just working for British capital.
Dinner time was approaching, and no matter how much Charles wanted to, he couldn't disturb the couple while they were having their meal. After he got up and left, Lin Keying had also finished her dessert.
As soon as the afternoon tea was served, the waiter brought the plates and the exquisite Western food was neatly arranged.
"How is it, Secretary Cheng, President Lin's arrangement is good, right?" Lin Keying was stunned when she heard her man fooling Charles, and she could only sigh that he was a profiteer!
Cheng Wanting smiled: "Mr. Lin, I am naturally very grateful for your help. To express my gratitude..."
Lin Keying interrupted the man and said, "Forget it, no need to thank me, just consider it as for the 5% shares I also own."
She now suspected that the man said he was thanking her but actually wanted to reward himself.
She doesn't want to be fooled again!
Cheng Wanting could not deny it: "It was Mr. Lin who did not want the thank-you gift. It's a pity. I originally wanted to give him another 2% of the shares."
Lin Keying: “…!”
++++
Lin Keying took over another 2% of Shatin's shares, and became more and more enthusiastic about Cheng Wanting's continued persuasion of British businessmen to charge into battle.
While the man was fooling around, she went out to play with the man's sister Amin.
Cheng Min had a day off on Saturday, so he accompanied his sister-in-law to watch horse racing.
The largest racecourse in Hong Kong is located in Sha Tin. Although much of the land nearby is barren and the surrounding construction lags behind other areas, the horse racing industry is booming.
Lin Keying, who had never watched horse racing before, only decided to attend the most lively horse racing event in Hong Kong today after seeing the report on TV.
"Sister-in-law, my brother doesn't like to watch these things. He only loves to work." Cheng Min knew her brother's hobbies very well. "But I don't watch much either. The person I know who knows the most about horse racing is my cousin Chen."
Ever since his eldest brother asked him to change "Cousin Songxian" to "Cousin Chen", Cheng Min has never mentioned the name Songxian again.
"Which cousin Chen?" Lin Keying sat in the VIP seat reserved for politicians and businessmen, listening to the lively discussions around her, and couldn't help but feel curious.
"Their family produces and sells clothing."
"Oh, Chen!"
Lin Keying was chatting with her sister-in-law in a casual manner. When the horse race officially started, she naturally didn't care about her cousin Chen, and her whole focus was on the horses galloping in the racecourse.
Most of the people present were betting on horses, and they had huge emotional ups and downs when they saw the horses they bet on take the lead or fall behind. There were constant cheers and wails in the audience, and it was as lively as watching a large sporting event.
In the VIP seats to the left of Lin Keying and Cheng Min, there was also a group of rich young men participating in the fun, each cheering for the horse he had bet on.
"Chen Songxian, did you buy horse number six? Is that true? You're bound to lose."
Chen Songxian dressed up in disguise today, wearing sunglasses and a mask and appeared at the racecourse because he was worried that he would be seen and his cousin would hear about it.
But it was just a disguise, and he couldn't lose the horse race. He talked eloquently about his analysis of each horse, and finally he was certain that horse number six would win.
Chen Songxian is good at eating, drinking and having fun. He may not be good at other things, but he has never lost to anyone in this aspect. When the young masters heard this, they became more and more nervous. It seemed that they were really going to lose today.
There are three rounds in horse racing. In the final round, horse number six actually overtook the opponent at the last moment, and there was amazement and cheers in the stadium.
Chen Songxian was very proud of winning a bottle of good wine from each of the young masters, but when his eyes drifted away from watching the horse racing, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a figure flashing by in another VIP seat far away from the crowd.
Miss Lin is here too!
Chen Songxian got up in a hurry, overcame many obstacles and approached his dream lover. Seeing that there was an empty seat next to her, he greeted her gentlemanly: "Miss Lin, what a coincidence, you are here to watch the horse racing too? Are you alone? I am alone too."
Cheng Min had just met a college classmate and was out discussing a study project. Lin Keying saw that Mr. Chen looked like he wanted to sit down and politely declined: "Mr. Chen, what a coincidence. I'm here with a friend, and she has something to do and will be out for a while."
"Oh." Chen Songxian didn't want to miss any opportunity to show himself, so he sat down and said, "Then let's take a look together before your friend comes back. I just happen to have some suggestions for Chen's Clothing to enter Xitian."
Lin Keying was a little surprised at the customer's familiarity, but since he was a business customer, she didn't take it too seriously.
I'm just a little annoyed by people talking about work in my ear.
I came here to relax, not to work overtime!
"Ms. Lin, what do you think?" Chen Songxian prepared the manuscript for several days, trying to show the far-sighted vision of the head of the Chen family.
Lin Keying replied perfunctorily: "Very good, not bad."
Satisfied with his performance, Chen Songxian stretched his neck and raised his head to introduce himself: "Ms. Lin, I actually spent a wonderful time at an Ivy League school in the United States. Later, I took over the family business. Chen's Clothing has developed into one of the top three in Hong Kong. I control the clothing markets of more than a dozen countries and regions. To be honest, I even opened up the African market myself. Even major newspapers, magazines and television in Hong Kong have interviewed me. It is really a compliment."
When I traveled to the United States, I was forced by my family to visit Ivy League schools. I watched my elders grow Chen's Clothing and even was sent to Africa for a month by my cousin.
Chen Songxian felt that he did not lie, but just made some artistic processing. Processed according to the life trajectory of cousin Cheng Wanting.
Lin Keying hasn't heard such a pretentious self-introduction for a long time. If they really were to stay in a hotel, there wouldn't be enough space for so many people! She couldn't help but take a deep look at Mr. Chen. How could he be so narcissistic at such a young age?
In comparison, my husband is simply perfect, handsome, rich, and has an outstanding temperament, without any greasy taste.
Chen Songxian couldn't help but feel happy when he received the affectionate look from his dream lover!
Sure enough, a woman like Miss Lin who is both talented and beautiful just likes successful men with successful careers!
"Lin..." Chen Songxian was about to invite Miss Lin to dinner when he saw the figure of his little cousin Cheng Min flash by not far away.
"Ms. Lin, I have something to do and I'm leaving first. I'll treat you to dinner another day!"
Chen Songxian was sweating profusely. How come he met his cousin last time and his cousin this time?
Lin Keying looked at Mr. Kevin Chen in shock as he left in a hurry again. She couldn't help but wonder, this man was really unpredictable.
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I was delayed a little while discussing the project with my classmates."
"It's okay. Study is more important." Lin Keying excitedly told her sister-in-law about the exciting scene of horse number six's heroic comeback.
After the horse race, the two went to meet up with Cheng Wanting who was inspecting the Sha Tin Development Zone, and the three of them had dinner at the most upscale Regal Hotel in Sha Tin.
Cheng Wanting listened to his wife and sister talking about the horse racing they had just watched. Even though he had no interest in horse racing, his thin lips slightly raised as he listened.
"You two really get along."
Lin Keying agreed while drinking bird's nest: "Of course, Amin and I hit it off right away."
Cheng Min also likes his sister-in-law: "Brother, my sister-in-law and I get along well. I want to ask her out tomorrow..."
Cheng Wanting's lips, which had just been raised, slowly smoothed down: "Not tomorrow, your sister-in-law has plans."
Lin Keying: "What are my plans?"
"I'll take a day off tomorrow." Cheng Wanting looked at his sister again, "You have to focus on your studies in college. After playing today, do you want to play again tomorrow?"
Cheng Min: “…”
After the meal, Cheng Wanting sent a car to take Amin home, while he and Lin Keying were driven to the Mid-Levels Villa by driver Uncle Feng.
In the back seat of the car, Lin Keying talked to the man about the horse racing she watched for the first time today, and inadvertently mentioned the pretentious Mr. Chen.
Cheng Wanting became alert for a moment; this was the second time he had heard his wife mention Mr. Chen.
Cheng Wanting was about to send Yang Minghui to conduct a secret investigation, but he heard his wife whispering.
"Hubby, I didn't think it was so good for you to be quiet before, but now I think it's more elegant. Unlike Mr. Chen, who looks so young, he is so greasy and has to show off his abilities in front of me."
Cheng Wanting's alert state suddenly relaxed.
As for investigation, there is no need for it.
——
"Send someone to secretly investigate who the woman next to the young master is and how they know each other?"
In the study room on the second floor of the Cheng family villa, Cheng Guanjie, who is over 50 years old, was standing with his hands behind his back, instructing his subordinates to do things.
"Master, the eldest young master hates being investigated the most. What if he is discovered..." The old butler Uncle Ming has followed Cheng Guanjie in building his empire for decades and knows the conflicts between father and son best.
The eldest young master resembles the old master, but he is not like the old master.
But his temper is just as hard.
One is hot-tempered and tough, while the other seems restrained but is actually tough.
If Cheng Wanting knew that his father was secretly investigating, the already precarious relationship between father and son would be even worse.
Cheng Guanjie raised his eyebrows: "He doesn't take his father seriously, why should I give him face? Check it out for me!
Although he has left the center of power, Cheng Guanjie still has the confidence he has gained from decades of hard work, so he can naturally handle such a small matter as investigating it.
Cheng Guanjie said angrily, "I want to see what kind of woman has bewitched his heart. It's fine if they're just dating, but he's even thinking about getting married! Is this Wan Ting's style? Wan Ting is so focused on the family business that he even resisted blind dates. How can he meet a woman? And there's no news at all."
