Chapter 111 Pervasive
Wang Yaowei thought they were acquaintances of Liu Hongmin, so he said, "Since you are Mr. Liu's friend, come in and talk!"
"Mr. Liu?" Several people looked surprised. "Are you talking about him?"
Wang Yaowei nodded, frowned and asked, "Don't you know Mr. Liu? Don't you know that he is the boss of our company?"
"Cough cough cough-"
Several people started coughing suddenly and looked at Liu Hongmin in horror.
Although Ms. Chu said that Liu Hongmin was doing well in Hong Kong, they never expected that Liu Hongmin actually opened a film company in Hong Kong. Moreover, the first film of this film company made a profit of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.
Liu Hongmin smiled and asked, "Mr. Wang, do you have something to talk to Mr. Wang about? Do you mind if I follow along and listen?"
Several people looked embarrassed and said quickly: "It's okay, it's okay!"
After saying this, without waiting for the two to react, he returned to the crowd in shame.
Wang Yaowei asked curiously, "Why did you leave?"
Liu Hongmin couldn't help laughing, "I didn't find any horses here."
Wang Yaowei was even more puzzled, but seeing that Liu Hongmin had no intention of explaining, he did not continue to ask.
After the two sat down, Liu Hongmin asked about the tax issue. Wang Yaowei explained that, just like what the front desk said, there would be no problem as long as the tax was paid.
"How's things going at the toy factory?"
"The production line is already under construction," Wang Yaowei said, "but the machines need to be debugged. It will take about half a month to start production."
"What about building a factory in the mainland?"
"We have already applied and are going through the procedures. However, it will take a year or so to build the factory and purchase the machines. It would be fast if we can start production by this time next year."
"How is the patent application going?"
"We have commissioned a special intermediary, and it will take only three months to complete the worldwide registration. Once the patent procedures are completed, our products can be directly launched into the major toy markets."
Liu Hongmin and Wang Yaowei chatted until the evening, and then called Lan Jieying. They hadn't seen each other for a long time. A few days ago, Lan Jieying went to Singapore to shoot a commercial and came back very late yesterday.
Before going on a date, Liu Hongjun needs to go back to the hotel and report to Ms. Chu.
As soon as he entered the hotel, he met a foreigner wearing glasses walking out. Facing Liu Hongmin's gaze, the foreigner smiled kindly and nodded to him.
Liu Hongmin responded politely and watched the foreigner walk out the door. When he turned around, he saw the old man surnamed Wang and others walking stealthily towards the elevator.
He looked at the door thoughtfully, then waved to the lobby manager.
"Sir, what can I do for you?"
"Who is the gentleman who just left?"
"Are you talking about Mr. William? He is the editor-in-chief of The Times in Hong Kong. He heard about this cultural exchange event, so he came here to do an interview."
Liu Hongmin laughed, "I wonder who he interviewed?"
“I don’t know about that!” The lobby manager smiled and replied, “If you really want to know, you can ask other members of the exchange group.”
"Thank you!"
Liu Hongmin thanked the lobby manager and went upstairs to find Ms. Chu.
"Teacher's wife, the Times is here to interview you?"
Ms. Chu nodded. "Yes, a chief editor came. All the questions he asked were preconceived. He also set a lot of traps for me."
Liu Hongmin laughed, "That's how they are. Otherwise, how could they slander us?"
He was not at all worried that Ms. Chu might say something wrong, as she used to work in the diplomatic department.
"Master's wife, besides interviewing you, who else did he interview?"
Ms. Chu shook her head, "I just interviewed myself." Liu Hongmin frowned, "When I came back just now, William had just left. I also met those people. I suspect they may have had contact."
Ms. Chu didn't care. "It's okay. We will return to the capital tomorrow. Even if they have contact, it won't have any impact."
Liu Hongmin shook his head slightly. He was not worried that those people would say bad things. What he was afraid of was that these people would be bribed and sabotage from within.
Seeing that Liu Hongmin was a little worried, Ms. Chu said, "I will report their performance after I go back. They should be relegated to the second line in the future."
In this case, the harm should not be too great. This is the trend in China. If people who retreat to the second line do not manage their relationships carefully, they will gradually break away from their previous network.
"Master's wife, I will not stay in the hotel tonight. I will be back when I leave tomorrow."
Liu Hongmin said embarrassedly: "My girlfriend is back from Lion City."
Ms. Chu smiled and said, "This is a date!"
However, she changed the subject and reminded: "Hongmin, what are you going to do when you get married in the future?"
Liu Hongmin's expression froze. "Master's wife, I haven't considered that step yet!"
He was with Lan Jieying because of lust. After all, it was hard for him not to like a beautiful girl. But he had never thought about marrying Lan Jieying, unless she followed him back to the mainland to live.
Although Lan Jieying is very curious about the mainland, she is very resistant to living there. Compared with the mainland, Hong Kong is like a paradise, and how many people can give up the good life in Hong Kong?
Moreover, Lan Jieying is originally from Hong Kong and is familiar with everything here. She is also a celebrity now. Because of her beauty, she is favored by brands and her annual income can easily exceed one million Hong Kong dollars.
If she went to the mainland, not only would she have no relatives, she would also have to revolve around Liu Hongmin and would not be able to realize her life value at all.
Therefore, the two of them tacitly did not mention this matter.
Ms. Chu nodded, "Okay, I'm just giving you a reminder."
"Thank you, Master!"
Liu Hongmin returned to his room, picked up an iron box, and went to the restaurant he had booked.
Not long after, Lan Jieying rushed over. She excitedly saved Liu Hongmin, "I missed you so much!"
Liu Hongmin patted her on the back and said, "Sit down first!"
The two men sat down, Liu Hongmin took out the iron box and pushed it in front of Lan Jieying.
"What is this?" Lan Jieying looked at the iron box with simplified Chinese characters written on it with a strange look on his face.
Can't you just change the box?
However, when she opened it, her eyes immediately widened.
"Where did you buy this?"
Inside the iron box was a gold filigree bracelet that looked incredibly exquisite.
“Friendship Store.”
Lan Jieying knew the Friendship Store. "You spent a lot of money, didn't you?"
"It's not much." Liu Hongmin picked up the bracelet, took her hand and helped her put it on.
Lan Jieying stretched out his hand and looked at the artwork on his wrist with fascination, "It's so beautiful."
"As long as you like it!"
Lan Jieying smiled happily, grabbed Liu Hongmin by the collar, pulled his head down, raised his head and kissed him. After a long time, Lan Jieying let go of Liu Hongmin.
Liu Hongmin pursed his lips and felt the taste was sweet and delicious.
The two of them ate in a hurry, then went into a hotel and didn't come out until the morning rush hour was over.
