Chapter 43 Chapter 43 Chapter 43 Wen Ke...
Chapter 43
Wen Ke'er was too young, and hadn't experienced the harsh realities of society. She thought she'd traveled through time, that with a bachelor's degree and a pass in the CET-4, she could find a well-paid, comfortable, and respectable job in Hong Kong in 1974... She was taking it for granted.
After separating from Weisheng at sea, Wen Keer did not wait for the opportunity like Weisheng did, but had no choice but to act with all her might and successfully left the border restricted area by relying on the guerrilla warfare she had seen when she was a child.
After leaving the restricted area, Wen Keer met many people with ulterior motives outside the restricted area.
Those people were waiting there, hoping to trick those who had just arrived illegally and knew nothing about Hong Kong into working illegally. Others also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to rob the illegal immigrants of their belongings.
Wen Ke'er is also a girl who has been brainwashed by anti-fraud apps in modern times. No matter how naive she is, she did not fall for it.
Wen Ke'er, dissatisfied with her family's arranged blind date, decided to smuggle herself to Hong Kong after protesting in vain. She had little money of her own, and she knew that even a penny could kill a hero in Hong Kong, so she approached Fang Ke.
Fang Ke was indeed rich, and if the two could enter Hong Kong alive, Fang Ke would definitely take out the gold bars. Unfortunately, Fang Ke died on the way, and the original Wen Ke'er was replaced.
Fortunately, Wen Ke'er had stolen a watch from home before leaving. Wen Ke'er, who had traveled through time, sold the watch to a pawnshop.
The men's watch, worthless, was exchanged for only a few Hong Kong dollars. After buying a bowl of hot noodle soup to fill her stomach, Wen Ke'er started looking for a job.
By the way, she also wants to find a job that provides food and shelter and pays well.
It was immediately apparent that she had smuggled herself in from the mainland, and within just a few words I could tell her current predicament. There wasn't much to say about her subsequent job search process.
Wen Ke'er, who had been running around in several places, lowering her requirements again and again but still couldn't find a job, sat down outside a business to rest. Unexpectedly, she heard a translator who was bringing a foreign businessman to the business to place an order going back and forth.
The boss said that his products are good, and they cost HK$3 each if you buy one, but if you buy 100 or more, each one costs HK$2.
After hearing this, the translator immediately told the foreign businessman that each of these items cost 13 Hong Kong dollars, and if he bought 100, he would get 2 for free.
The foreign businessman spoke to the translator again, and the translator turned around and started bargaining with the store owner. He directly bargained down the price of 3 Hong Kong dollars to 2.5 Hong Kong dollars...
Oh my, this is such a good translation.
Wen Ke'er couldn't speak Cantonese, but she understood it. So she stepped forward and first explained to the business owner in very standard Mandarin how the translator had translated it. Then, when the translator couldn't stop her, she started talking to the foreign businessman in English.
The one who was most angry was the foreign businessman, while the owner of the trading company was just a little angry.
Selling a product for HK$2.5 only meant a small profit for him, but for foreign businessmen, it was a huge loss.
The foreign businessman was furious and fired the translator on the spot and hired Wen Keer instead.
The translator was unwilling to give in. While "explaining" to the foreign businessman, he also questioned Wen Ke'er's translation ability and his ulterior motives with a very unfriendly look.
But he was too excited and was carried out by the foreign businessman's entourage.
Wen Ke'er's excellent performance saved the foreign businessman a lot of money. Since the foreign businessman had to stay in Hong Kong for a while, he directly hired Wen Ke'er as his temporary translator.
The kind that provides food and accommodation and a high salary.
On this day, Wen Keer successfully found a job and used the tips given by the foreign businessman to buy two sets of clothes and daily necessities.
On the same day, Weisheng first went to the police station to apply for an ID card, then bought a map of Hong Kong, and stayed in a hotel near the Minsheng Restaurant.
In the evening, I went to Minsheng Restaurant for a good meal and observed the restaurant's business for a while. When the diners were getting more and more, I checked out and took a taxi to Minsheng Cinema.
I just bought a movie ticket and visited the Minsheng Cinema located in the downtown area very leisurely.
At that time, Minsheng Cinema only had three floors, two of which were screening rooms, and the first floor was a warehouse and staff office area.
If this place is demolished and rebuilt, with restaurants, shopping malls and cinemas located below the sixth floor and offices located above the sixth floor, then this piece of land will be even more valuable.
Before the movie was over, Weisheng took a taxi back to the hotel. On the way back, Weisheng was thinking about how to meet the original owner's father and what identity she should use to meet him.
When Weisheng applied for his ID card, he really wanted to use the name Weisheng, but later on, he chose Fang Ke, the original owner's name.
She brought her parents' marriage certificate and Fang Ke's birth certificate, so in the police registration file, her mother's name was Fang Min, her father's name was Wei Zhensheng, and she was Fang Ke.
However, there are many people with the same name in this world. Even if he met her, he would not think too much about it given Wei Zhensheng's condition.
Shaking his head, Weisheng called the waiter, gave him a tip and asked him how to get Wei Zhensheng's phone number.
There were countless hotels in Hong Kong, but this was the only one closest to the Minsheng Restaurant's main branch, and one of the higher quality. Weisheng thought that if Wei Zhensheng were to entertain someone, this would be his first choice.
It would be best if the hotel had Wei Zhensheng’s contact information. If not, the waiter would probably be willing to help her get it for the sake of the tip.
Wei Zhensheng had been in Hong Kong for fifteen or sixteen years and had become somewhat of a household name. Although he often felt that he was new to the city and his family was relatively modest, his financial resources had earned him a spot on the Hong Kong rich list.
On the list of 100 richest people, his name was ranked in the 60s or 70s. Not high, but not too low either.
The waiter had heard of Wei Zhensheng, but the hotel only had the phone number of the general manager of Minsheng Restaurant. However, after Weisheng said he would give him another tip, the waiter managed to get the phone number of Wei Zhensheng's secretary.
Weisheng originally wanted to settle herself first and then go find Wei Zhensheng, and then visit him as a relative of the Fang family, but she was worried that Fang Ke, who thought she had drowned, would meet Wei Zhensheng in advance.
So after getting the phone number, Weisheng called Wei Zhensheng's secretary.
He was a male secretary. When he received Weisheng's call, he thought he was a liaison from some company.
When they heard that Weisheng came from Zhoushan Town on the mainland and brought letters and things from the Fang family to Wei Zhensheng, there was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time.
After Xu Zhirui asked Weisheng what his name was, as well as his address and contact information, he hung up the phone with a look of confusion on his face.
Looking at the boss who was talking on the phone in the open office, Xu Zhirui rubbed his face hard with his hands, then picked up the notebook and walked in.
The boss is less than 40 years old, tall and handsome, with a wealthy family and a very successful business. Apart from his mental problems, he seems to have no shortcomings.
But it's this brain... The woman is always eighteen years old, and the boss has to hold a twenty-first birthday party every year.
It's also a strange disease!
Seeing Xu Zhirui walk in, Wei Zhensheng knew that there must be something important. He had almost finished his call, so he hung up and asked Xu Zhirui what was the matter.
Xu Zhirui glanced at the phone on his boss's desk with a complicated expression, thinking about how the person on the other end of the phone felt when he heard that his boss was going to celebrate his 21st birthday.
It should be quite complicated.
After collecting his thoughts, Xu Zhirui told Wei Zhensheng everything about the call he had just received. Wei Zhensheng was overjoyed when he heard that someone from his hometown had come and brought him a letter and some things.
After glancing at the time, he asked Xu Zhirui to pick up Weisheng from the hotel and meet him in the private box of Minsheng Restaurant later.
When someone from my hometown comes, I have to treat them to a meal. But I heard that she is still a young girl and there is no hostess at home, so it is not convenient to entertain her at home. It is more convenient to meet her at a restaurant.
He went to work at 9 o'clock and received a call from Weisheng at 9:15. He came down from the cinema at 9:30 and drove alone to the hotel to pick him up. He arrived at the hotel a little after 10 o'clock. He asked the hotel front desk to call the room first, and then Xu Zhirui took the elevator to the room.
After meeting Weisheng and introducing himself, Weisheng took his bag and a wooden box and left with Xu Zhirui.
Because the hotel was too close to the restaurant, they asked Weisheng for his opinion and decided to walk there. Along the way, Xu Zhirui also asked Weisheng about the situation on the mainland and the Fang family in Zhoushan Town.
There were always people sneaking into Hong Kong, and news from the mainland was no secret to those living in Hong Kong. Weisheng mentioned a few common rumours, then asked Xu Zhirui about high schools in Hong Kong with better teachers.
She was only sixteen, and after two years of high school, she'd be taking the Hong Kong Secondary School Entrance Examination. As for what major to study after getting into university... in a previous life, during a period of self-torture, she'd considered studying law. But Weisheng felt that while law was a promising field, it was too specialized.
So she wanted to learn something more practical, such as the identification and restoration of cultural relics.
After a conversation, Xu Zhirui learned that although Weisheng had also come to Hong Kong illegally, she was here to study. Weisheng also learned that Xu Zhirui had been with Wei Zhensheng for ten years.
After a brief exchange of feelings, they arrived at the restaurant. Xu Zhirui led Wei Sheng to Wei Zhensheng's exclusive banquet room and served tea and appetizers.
Wei Zhensheng had some work to take care of, so he asked the driver to take him to the restaurant after he finished.
The first time he saw Weisheng, Wei Zhensheng was stunned and had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
It's a little soft, a little sour, with a hint of bitterness and an indescribable closeness.
Wei Sheng had a good impression of Wei Zhensheng the first time he saw her. Although he didn't have any father-daughter connection, he didn't dislike her at all.
Maybe Wei Zhensheng was a good person from birth to death except for the fact that he recognized his daughter wrongly.
Seeing Wei Zhensheng coming in, Xu Zhirui stood up, and Weisheng also stood up.
Because of those complicated emotions fermenting in his heart, Wei Zhensheng treated Wei Sheng very well. He smiled and asked her to sit down, and asked her when she came to Hong Kong.
Weisheng said he had arrived in the city the day before yesterday and had obtained his ID card yesterday. Without Wei Zhensheng's prompting, he handed over the wooden box he had been holding.
Inside the wooden box were two wild ginsengs of excellent quality, two bottles of blood-tonifying and qi-invigorating pills that she had prepared before her death in her previous life, a letter Fang Min had written to Wei Zhensheng a long time ago, and a photo of Fang Min holding a baby.
When he wrote this letter, Wei Zhensheng had only been away from Zhoushan Town for two or three months.
Weisheng still had two letters in his hand. One was written when Wei Zhensheng had been away from home for half a year, and the other was written about a year after he left. Fang Min hadn't written a letter since then.
After reading the letter and looking at the contents of the box again, Wei Zhensheng looked up at Wei Sheng and said, "I've been away for over half a year. Is everything going well at home?"
Hearing this, Xu Zhensheng looked at Weisheng with an expression of disbelief. Weisheng had expected this kind of words, so he didn't show much shock.
Weisheng: "Everything is fine, but I miss you very much."
"That's good, that's good." After hearing this, Xu Zhensheng asked about the situation of the four members of the Fang family again, and then asked about Weisheng's relationship with the Fang family with an apologetic look on his face.
Why is it not written in the letter?
Xu Zhensheng had lived in the Fang family for as long as he could remember, and there was no one in the Fang family that he didn't know. Previously, Weisheng had only said his last name was Fang, but now that someone had delivered something, he had to ask who they were and if they needed any help.
Wei Sheng lowered his eyes hesitantly, then raised them to look at Wei Zhensheng. "My name is Fang Ke, and I'm from the Fang family."
Wei Zhensheng smiled when he heard this and said, "Your name is Fang Ke? My daughter's name is Fang Ke too."
Xu Zhirui: ...It can’t be what he thinks.
Weisheng: It’s so embarrassing~
╮(╯▽╰)╭
After mentioning his name, he asked about his generational level. Weisheng simply denied knowing, saying that his elders had passed away and that he hadn't been able to sort out his generational level in his clan. He had only met the Fang family once before coming to Hong Kong. He then told them about his plan to attend high school in Hong Kong and then apply to a university there.
Wei Zhensheng looked at the little girl in front of him, and she seemed so familiar. If he wasn't only twenty-one, he would have ignored his generational differences and adopted the sixteen-year-old girl as his goddaughter.
In the mind of a man in love, there are two kinds of women in the world: one is his mother-in-law, daughter and Fang Min, and the other is other women. But this time, for some reason, he found that the girl in front of him looked like his wife!
All equally beautiful!
Then, no one knew how things developed, but Wei Sheng's biological daughter became Wei Zhensheng's sister-in-law.
The two of them acknowledged each other as relatives at the dinner table, and for a long time, Weisheng called his biological father "brother-in-law"...
