Chapter 107: Crazy Talk at the Drinking Party
He didn't expect Zou Shifang to do this. If Chen Jiangong didn't want to make a joke, he really didn't know what to do.
Now is the perfect time, so he doesn't have to spend a lot of time explaining later.
Zou Shifang pushed Chen Jiangong away with disdain, "Okay, let's get together later."
Chen Jiangong said disdainfully: "Old Zou, you are really obsessed with money now!"
"Hey! You're right!"
Zou Shifang admitted generously, "I hope you can still treat money like dirt like you do now."
Chen Jiangong smiled and patted Zou Shifang on the back, "See you later."
The exchange group was talking about it, "So it's to welcome Chen Jiangong!"
"I never thought Chen Jiangong would have such a background."
"I just heard from Chen Jiangong that the man was his classmate. Could he also be from Beijing University?"
"No way? I've never heard of such a person in Kyoto University!"
"Hey, Hongmin!" Someone beside him nudged Liu Hongmin, "You are also from Beijing University, do you know that person?"
Liu Hongmin nodded. "His name is Zou Shifang, and he is from the Philosophy Department, Class of 77."
"It's really from Kyoto University!"
"How did he come to Hong Kong? It seems like he's doing pretty well in Hong Kong!"
"Okay!"
Liu Hongmin said with a smile.
Chen Jiangong walked over and took a deep look at Liu Hongmin. What on earth do you want to do? You actually pretended to be unfamiliar with Lao Zou.
Liu Hongmin winked at him, then said to Ms. Chu, "Master's wife, let's leave the airport first, everyone is still waiting!"
Ms. Chu nodded and said to the president of Sanlian Publishing House, "Mr. Zou, let's leave the airport first!"
President Zou smiled and nodded, "Okay!"
The reception staff immediately guided the exchange group to leave. Yang Guiren was also among the reception staff. When he saw Liu Hongmin, he immediately walked over.
Liu Hongmin waved his hand gently and walked to the corner when no one was paying attention.
Yang Guiren came over quickly, "What's going on with you?"
Liu Hongmin asked back: "I was just wondering, why didn't you invite me to this exchange event you hosted?"
Yang Guiren said with a smile: "Boss, you are doing better in Hong Kong than me. Do you need our invitation to come to Hong Kong? What's more, your company is also a participant in the exchange activities, so you should be counted as one of us."
Liu Hongmin was stunned for a moment, "I have no idea about this!"
“Then you have to ask your employees!”
Seeing Yang Guiren's aggrieved look, Liu Hongmin also felt that he was making things difficult for him.
"Okay, don't feel wronged. I've finished writing my novel. When you get a place to live, you can go to my room and get the manuscript."
Yang Guiren immediately became happy, "Great, Boss, I'll come find you later."
After parting with Yang Guiren, Liu Hongmin quietly followed the team. After leaving the airport, he was taken to the hotel by bus.
Looking at the magnificent hotel, everyone in the exchange group was so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths, as if they had entered the Grand View Garden.
"How much does it cost?"
Mr. Xu sighed, "As expected of Hong Kong. When can we build a hotel like this?"
"Humph! That poor place will never be able to build such a magnificent hotel in its lifetime."
Mr. Xu glared at him and said, "Mr. Wang, what nonsense are you talking about?"
The old man surnamed Wang looked at Mr. Xu with disdain, "Mr. Xu, do you still think this is China? You are shouting all day long, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by our international friends?"
Before Mr. Xu could speak, Liu Hongmin immediately walked over and said, "Mr. Xu, stop arguing. It's not a good influence."
"Humph!" Old Xu glared at Mr. Wang unwillingly and was dragged away by Liu Hongmin. Mr. Wang became proud and said, "What are you humming? You don't know any manners at all."
After saying that, he raised his head and looked at the ceiling, fascinated by the flashing lights. This is heaven!
There are many people like Mr. Wang who feel that life in the mainland is too hard and yearn for life abroad.
After entering the room, they gathered together, not knowing what to discuss.
Not long after Liu Hongmin arrived in the room, Yang Guiren ran over.
"Boss, where is the manuscript?"
"Here!" Liu Hongmin opened the suitcase and handed him the manuscript.
Yang Guiren immediately took the manuscript and read it carefully.
Liu Hongmin urged, "Where's the contract? After you sign it, take it back and read it."
Yang Guiren quickly took out the contract, and after Liu Hongmin signed it, he immediately took the contract and the manuscript back to the publishing house.
Liu Hongmin had just breathed a sigh of relief after sending Yang Guiren away when the door was pushed open.
Liu Hongmin was startled, but he relaxed when he saw that it was Chen Jiangong who came in.
"You scared me."
Chen Jiangong said with a smirk, "You are guilty. Tell me, what are you planning?"
"What plan?"
Chen Jiangong: "There's no need to hide it from me, right?"
Liu Hongmin glanced at him, "I don't have any plans to hide anything?"
Chen Jiangong asked in disbelief, "Really no plan?"
Liu Hongmin shook his head. "There's no need for a plan to deal with them."
"Them?" Chen Jiangong seemed to be thinking about something. "If you need any help, don't hesitate to ask me."
Liu Hongmin laughed and said, "Don't worry, I won't be polite with you."
In the evening, President Zou held a reception at the hotel to entertain the exchange group members.
The members of the exchange group often attended parties in China and were familiar with socializing. Under the arrangement of the reception staff, the members of the exchange group got to know the famous writers in Hong Kong one by one.
"This is Mr. Jin Yong..."
"This is RTV's Manager Huang Qiang..."
"This is Mr. Shao..."
"I've heard a lot about you..."
“You’re welcome, you’re welcome…”
When scholars get together, they inevitably discuss poetry and philosophy. You come up with a line of lyrics, I say a poem, and we exchange ideas, which is quite enjoyable.
When the conversation was almost over, President Zou took the microphone and walked onto the stage. "Good evening, distinguished guests... I am honored to have facilitated this exchange meeting. Now, please allow the mainland representatives to speak."
Ms. Chu was about to call Liu Hongmin to the stage when the old man surnamed Wang strode up. Ms. Chu frowned, but it was not easy to stop him directly.
Everyone didn't know the situation and thought that it was a decision made before Ms. Chu came, but it had not been announced.
The old man surnamed Wang said with a smile: "I am very happy to accept the invitation from colleagues in Hong Kong. For us, this is an opportunity to open our eyes and see the world. It is really amazing! We did not expect that Hong Kong would develop so prosperously. I am afraid we will never catch up with it in our lifetime. I think we should learn from Hong Kong, fully embrace the world, open up the market, and establish a free system..."
Ms. Chu's face turned pale. She didn't expect this old man to say such a thing.
Mr. Xu had a bad temper. He rushed onto the stage, snatched the microphone, and raised his hand to hit someone.
Liu Hongmin followed from behind, stopped Mr. Xu, and whispered, "Mr. Xu, be careful of the impact."
"give it to me!"
Mr. Xu looked into Liu Hongmin's affirmative eyes, then he suppressed his anger and walked off the stage.
