Chapter 1179 Another Big Blunder
Robert was consumed by jealousy. He had only one thought in his mind: "That damn Tommy Chen, why wasn't it me who got hit? Just you wait, tomorrow I'll send the tax bureau to audit your Dingsheng Group's accounts. If I don't bankrupt you, I can say that I, the Chief Secretary for Administration, am incompetent."
Tommy Chen, who had just been taken to the hospital, suddenly felt a sudden, inexplicable jolt of fear, his head spinning, and then he fainted again.
Robert said with a broad smile.
“Mr. Qin, I’m really sorry, but the Governor is waiting for an important call in his office. If he knew you were here, I’m sure he would come here at lightning speed.”
This guy is such a smooth talker, even Da Bao couldn't help but laugh. But the curious girl next to him, who couldn't understand English at all, gently tugged at Da Bao's sleeve.
Da Bao immediately understood and said to Robert and Strauss.
"This is my wife, Adele. She received an Eastern court education and is not very familiar with Western etiquette. I hope you two will not take offense."
Robert then noticed Zuo Mingyue. It seems that when it comes to wealth and beauty, wealth comes before beauty. Robert's first thought was of the super-rich Da Bao, and only then did he notice the beautiful and charming Zuo Mingyue.
Robert jolted awake and hurriedly knelt down on one knee, his right hand on his chest.
"Greetings, Princess Sofia."
Strauss was a true Scotsman who had come from the bottom and didn't know many people in the upper class. When he saw Robert kneel down, he assumed that Zuo Mingyue was a princess of the British royal family and hurriedly knelt down as well.
Da Bao knew this was another misunderstanding. Seeing everyone crowding around, he hurriedly picked up Robert and his companion, one in each arm, and spun them around.
Da Bao said in a low voice.
"Old Luo, you've mistaken me for someone else. This is my wife, Adele."
In his past life, Da Bao's favorite singer was the British singer Adele Adkins. Zuo Mingyue bore a slight resemblance to her, but her features were more refined. That's why, on a whim, he gave Zuo Mingyue an English name.
(Adele's global influence is second only to Michael Jackson. There's a popular saying that goes, "When Adele broke up, the whole world felt heartbroken." I love Adele's songs, so I'm just adding this.)
Robert looked at Zuo Mingyue carefully. He shook his head and then nodded. He shook his head because he had mistaken the person. The pregnant woman in front of him, upon closer inspection, still had the features of a young girl.
He nodded because Zuo Mingyue and Princess Sofia of the French royal family look almost exactly alike, so they must have a deep relationship.
Fujiwara Shizuka narrowed her eyes. She was a master hypnotist and a master of psychology. Although she couldn't hear the conversation between Da Bao and the others, she could clearly see from Robert's lip movements that he was talking about Princess Sofia.
Robert is the Chief Secretary for Administration, and he is different from Strauss. His father is the Speaker of the House of Lords, and their family has the title of hereditary knight, which means they are forever loyal to the French and British royal families. So, the woman he is referring to is Princess Sofia. Could she be a little princess of the British royal family?
If that's the case, then we need to add another bargaining chip today: he must breed with the man next to the princess. Such noble blood is too precious to be missed, and we must obtain it.
The practice of women in Japan having artificial insemination has existed since ancient times, primarily to improve their genes. Da Bao is 1.83 meters tall and has an exceptionally beautiful appearance, while Fujiwara Shizuka, despite her beauty, is only about 1.5 meters tall. This is due to genetics.
Da Bao never expected that he would be targeted by a female demon. He didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.
Despite his many questions, Robert dared not neglect Zuo Mingyue. If Zuo Mingyue was indeed a descendant of Princess Sophia, and he neglected him, his father, old Robert, would break his legs without anyone else's intervention.
This caused a stir among Hong Kong's dignitaries. No one recognized Da Bao, let alone Zuo Mingyue, but they all guessed that she was Queen Elizabeth's youngest daughter. No one dared to disrespect the princess, so the ladies and young women, encouraged by their husbands and fathers, all came up to try and get close to Zuo Mingyue.
Unfortunately, Zuo Mingyue didn't understand English or Cantonese. Faced with a group of people speaking gibberish, she could only nod with a wry smile. Little did she know that the more she did this, the more these people thought she was of noble status.
That's just how it is. As a princess, you should be this proud.
Lou Bancheng also arrived at the banquet hall with his wife. He had made his plans early, and eighty percent of his assets had already been transferred there, thus joining the ranks of the wealthy in Hong Kong.
However, Hong Kong's wealthy are divided into three tiers. The first tier consists of businessmen from Britain, France, and the United States, who enjoy special privileges in Hong Kong. No matter what large-scale projects the government undertakes, they have to wait until they have made their fortunes before the projects can be subcontracted to others.
Secondly, there are the Chaoshan merchants. There are very few native Hong Kong people, and even if there are, they are poor. Opening a general store is considered a big business. On the contrary, these people from Chaoshan have occupied half of Hong Kong's rich list in just twenty years.
The rest were capitalists like Lou Bancheng who had fled from the inland. In terms of wealth, these people were the richest. However, even a powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake. The Chaoshan merchants controlled three-quarters of the community organizations, and this alone kept the capitalists firmly under their feet.
Lou Bancheng and his wife arrived at the banquet hall. He was doing better because he knew English, but his wife, like Zuo Mingyue, only spoke fluent Beijing dialect and didn't understand anything else.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and people naturally formed more than a dozen groups in the banquet hall. Lou Bancheng and several capitalists who had fled from Jiangsu and Zhejiang stood together chatting.
Their conversation revolved around the current Four Cleanups and Five Antis Movements: which old friend was dragged onto the stage for criticism and struggle sessions? Which old friend's home was ransacked?
Guo Yingnan mingled with the Chaoshan businessmen. His main business was shipping, and he never touched drugs, so he was accepted by the Chaoshan businessmen.
Lou Bancheng was engrossed in a lively conversation with some old friends when someone suddenly whispered that the Chief Secretary for Administration and the Secretary for Security had arrived. Lou Bancheng turned around and was immediately stunned.
Da Bao was once the head of the police station in his jurisdiction, so he must know him. Seeing Da Bao in this situation was like seeing a UFO, and Lou Bancheng couldn't help but stare in astonishment.
Da Bao had naturally seen Lou Bancheng long ago, and he wasn't surprised at all. In the first place, it was Da Bao who let Lou Bancheng go. If it weren't for Da Bao and Lou Xiao'e tipping him off in time, Lou Bancheng would be standing on the stage now, with a big sign around his neck, being criticized and denounced...
