"I'm taking you to Hong Kong for two reasons. First, you are my woman, and I want to take you to Hong Kong to have a good time. Second, you are the daughter of the Wang family from the capital, and your status is extraordinary. I heard that the Huaxia Dragon Tiger Society is holding a meeting in Hong Kong during this period, and I want to investigate. With you as my guide, I can blend in a little."
Chen Feng explained truthfully.
"How did you know the Huaxia Dragon Tiger Society was holding a meeting in Hong Kong?"
Wang Ziwei was stunned for a moment.
"The Huaxia Dragon Tiger Society is a small group of very wealthy businessmen in China. Every time they make a big move, they gather secretly to hold meetings. The more important the meeting, the less likely they are to hold it within mainland China, for fear of being discovered by the Chinese authorities. China has been quite strict with wealthy groups in recent years. Hong Kong is a global financial center and very free, so the Dragon Tiger Society likes to hold meetings in such extremely free places. After the meeting, they can also enjoy a few days of unrestrained fun."
"Chen Feng, your brain is really perfect for navigating the political arena. You can grasp the slightest clue. Don't worry, when I go to Hong Kong, I will definitely let you join the Dragon Tiger Society for a few days. Although I am not a member, the Dragon Tiger Society must give face to the Wang family of the capital."
Wang Ziwei said with a serious expression.
"Teacher Wang, thank you so much."
Chen Feng said excitedly.
Being able to infiltrate the Dragon Tiger Society, even for a few minutes, would be a significant gain.
The Dragon Tiger Society was not just a small group of wealthy Chinese individuals, but also a collective of the most astute people in China. Interacting with them could yield unexpected rewards.
"Chen Feng, you are my man, you don't need to be so polite. Well, the poison in my body has been cleared. Can we now..."
Wang Ziwei said, her face flushed with shyness.
"..."
Chen Feng felt dizzy.
He thought Wang Ziwei would forget about it, but to his surprise, Wang Ziwei had not forgotten.
"You don't want to?"
Wang Ziwei advanced by retreating.
"Teacher Wang, please don't misunderstand. You are my woman, and you have helped me immensely time and again. How could I not want to... It's mainly because I'm afraid that your menstruation just stopped due to the poisoning, and if it's at this time..."
Chen Feng quickly explained.
"Chen Feng, you are not an outsider, and I won't lie to you. Actually, women often desire intimacy in the middle of their periods, or even before and after. They just fear that men might not want them, so they say they don't. In reality, they really want it. Do you understand what I mean?"
Wang Ziwei explained earnestly.
When Chen Feng heard Wang Ziwei put it that way, he didn't hesitate and took off his clothes...
The next evening, after Wang Ziwei had dealt with the poisoning, Chen Feng took her, along with Professor Wang Lifeng and Li Hongbing, on a chartered flight to Hong Kong.
Upon arriving in Hong Kong, Chen Feng first arranged for Wang Ziwei to check into a hotel. Then, he took Professor Wang Lifeng and Li Hongbing to find the Hong Kong Financial Development Bureau. Logically, they should have contacted the Director of the Hong Kong Financial Development Bureau.
However, Chen Feng did not do that.
The Five Provinces District was a small region, and its cooperation with Hong Kong Finance did not involve international finance.
It was primarily some Chinese and old Asian financial projects.
Therefore, there was no need to seek out high-ranking officials in Hong Kong.
The higher the official, the harder it was to get an appointment.
The higher the official, the harder it was to communicate with.
Thus, finding a director within the Hong Kong Financial Bureau was sufficient.
"Chen Feng, are you sure you don't want to contact the Director? I have some contacts in this area, though not very strong. It would take about a month to find him."
Professor Wang Lifeng asked Chen Feng.
"Professor Wang, the Director of the Hong Kong Financial Bureau is not a minor official; he is a high-ranking official who makes major decisions, such as international financial projects. The Five Provinces District is a small place and has not yet developed to the point where it can undertake international financial projects. Therefore, there is no need to be overly ambitious and seek out the Director of the Hong Kong Financial Development Bureau right away."
Chen Feng replied seriously.
Professor Wang Lifeng greatly appreciated Chen Feng's practicality.
The primary quality of someone who accomplishes great things is practicality.
"You mean, find a director under the Hong Kong Development Bureau?"
Professor Wang Lifeng asked with a smile.
"Yes, Professor Wang. I want to find Director Huang because Director Huang is in charge of the Hong Kong Old Financial Transfer Project. Although Director Huang has much less power than the Director of the Hong Kong Financial Development Bureau, his scope of authority is precisely what I need. Therefore, finding Director Huang is definitely the right choice."
Chen Feng explained.
"Since you only want to find Director Huang, this matter is easily handled. I can arrange for you two to meet with a phone call. However, I will not be present. Director Huang is a true Hongkonger, full of the smell of money, and I don't like it."
Professor Wang Lifeng replied truthfully.
"Professor Wang, you just need to make the introduction. The specific cooperation matters will be discussed by me and Li Hongbing."
Chen Feng quickly appeased Professor Wang Lifeng.
Upon hearing this, Professor Wang Lifeng did not hesitate and made the call to arrange the meeting.
"Li Hongbing, find a hotel room and check in first. I'll go see Director Huang alone."
After Professor Wang Lifeng left, Chen Feng said calmly to Li Hongbing.
"Director Chen, didn't you bring me to Hong Kong to discuss cooperation with the Hong Kong side together? Why are you asking me to find a hotel room and check in first? You don't trust my abilities, do you?"
Li Hongbing asked, puzzled.
"Li Hongbing, you are not an outsider, so I won't hide anything from you. The first meeting with Director Huang will definitely not be about cooperation, but rather about taking Director Huang out to have fun. After Director Huang has had a good time, we'll find a way to give him some money, and then the second step will be to discuss serious matters. This is not only the rule in Hong Kong's official circles but also in China's. If you immediately discuss serious business, no one will even bother with you. You must first pave the way with money. Once money makes both parties familiar, discussing matters will become natural."
Chen Feng explained briefly.
"Director Chen, I apologize for my rudeness. I was so focused on quickly discussing cooperation with Director Huang and making the financial industry of the Five Provinces District take off again that I forgot that official matters are not that simple."
Li Hongbing said, his face flushed red.
"It's alright. You learn from experience. You are still young and will grow."
After appeasing Li Hongbing, Chen Feng immediately went to find Director Huang.
Chen Feng found Director Huang at a high-end Western restaurant.
"You are Chen Feng, from Professor Wang Lifeng's side?"
Director Huang looked at Chen Feng with disdain.
Chen Feng was not angry at all.
Chinese people are like this; regional discrimination is quite serious.
Hong Kong people look down on mainlanders.
People from big cities in the mainland look down on people from small cities in the mainland.
People from small cities look down on people from rural areas.
"Yes, Director Huang."
Chen Feng replied with a smile.
"Can you speak English? I generally prefer to speak with people in English. Hong Kong is an international financial center, so proficiency in English is a must."
Director Huang said, with a sense of self-importance.
"Yes."
Chen Feng admitted directly without any pretense.
Since he was there to handle business with Director Huang, there was no need to be modest; he had to show Director Huang his capabilities.
"Hmm, that's interesting. A mainland person claims to be able to communicate in English? As I recall, mainlanders' English is only for passing exams. Do they really use English in their daily lives and work?"
Director Huang looked at Chen Feng with curiosity.
Chen Feng wasted no time and conversed with Director Huang in English, even more standard and fluent than Director Huang's.
Upon hearing this, Director Huang was stunned.
"Damn, how is this young man's English so amazing? It's exactly like British English."
"Did Professor Wang Lifeng misrepresent this young man's background?"
"Can someone who is the head of the Development and Reform Bureau of a small district like the Five Provinces District speak such amazing English?"
"Director Huang, this is my first time in Hong Kong. Are there any fun activities here?"
Chen Feng seized the opportunity to ask.
"Hong Kong is not only a global financial center but also a world-class tourist destination with many things to do. I just hope your wallet is fat enough..."
Director Huang said with a knowing smile.
