"Hello, are you Mr. Feng Yu?"
Feng Yu is curious. Not many people know his Hong Kong number, and he will not give it to anyone. Who is this unknown number? From his accent, it seems he is not fluent in Mandarin.
"Yes, I am. Who are you?"
"I am Patten. I would like to meet you. When is it convenient for you?"
Huh? Patten? Why does this name sound so familiar? Also, his Cantonese accent sounds like he is a foreigner. Wait, the person in charge of Hong Kong is called Patten?
Feng Yu thought for a while. His investments in Hong Kong are all legal, and he did not step on any red lines. Also, Patten had not done anything to harm Hong Kong, and he should not be looking for trouble.
Is this a good thing?
"How about tomorrow afternoon at XX Road's Quanjude Restaurant? Private room 3. I will treat the person in charge to China's delicacies."
"Ok. I will be there at 11.30 am. I am looking forward to meeting Mr. Feng."
After hanging up, Feng Yu called Li Zekai. "Brother Kai, I need to ask you something. Do you know Patten?"
Li Zekai is stunned. Patten, Hong Kong's person-in-charge. How can he not know him? But why is Feng Yu asking this? Could it be that Feng Yu wants to meet Patten?
There is no need for this. Hong Kong will return to Hua Xia's rule soon, and the new person-in-charge will be elected. Patten will surely return to the UK.
Furthermore, although the new person-in-charge will be elected, it will also be appointed by the Chinese Government. Feng Yu should know about this.
"Are you talking about the current person-in-charge? Why? Do you want to meet him? "
"I am not the one who wants to meet him. He is the one who wants to meet me." Feng Yu told Li Zekai about Patten's call.
"Brother Feng, are you holding a Hong Kong passport now?" Li Zekai asked suddenly.
"That's right. It is more convenient to travel with a Hong Kong passport."
"I think I know what is going on. He should be inviting you to become a British citizen!" Li Zekai replied.
What the hell? Inviting me to become a British citizen?
Feng Yu thought about it carefully. It was really possible. Just the assets of Wind & Rain Consulting alone were not a small amount, not to mention that there were some other businesses in the mainland that were also worth a lot of money. Letting him become a British citizen was equivalent to pulling in a large sum of money.
Although he had a Hong Kong passport, Feng Yu had never regarded himself as a Hong Kong citizen. He was a citizen of Hua Xia, so he had never thought about it.
"Thank you. I thought it was something important."
"That sounds nice. He is the person in charge of Hong Kong. In fact, there aren't many things that he can decide. You don't have to take him seriously." Li Zekai said with disdain.
To the Li Family, if they had a bad relationship with the Hong Kong person-in-charge, the person-in-charge would definitely be replaced, and the Li Family would be fine.
"En, Brother Kai, if you're free tomorrow, would you accompany me to the banquet at noon?" Feng Yu had never interacted with Hong Kong's government officials and did not know much about them. It would be more convenient if Li Zekai was around.
Fu Guangzheng had gone to China again, and Fu Guangwei was not reliable. Feng Yu could only invite Li Zekai.
"Ok. I am free tomorrow. Let's have lunch together."
… …
The private room's door opened, and a Caucasian with white hair entered. He was dressed casually and did not look like a Hong Kong person-in-charge. He looked more like an old man from next door.
Patten's man put down his bag and walked out of the room.
"Mr Feng, I am Patten. Nice to meet you. I hope we can be friends." Patten also noticed Li Zekai, who was sitting beside Feng Yu. Why is the Li Family's Second Young Master here?
When Patten first took office in 1992, he focused on being close to the people and was well received by the Hong Kong people. But Li Zekai had mentioned that he was a politician and was better at acting than all the previous person-in-charge.
Also, he is from the anti-China faction, and all the rumors about Hua Xia's threat are secretly supported by him. Some of the news reports were biased, and many of them were edited to report on the dark side of China.
Since Hua Xia signed the agreement with the British to return to China, the relationship between the two countries' governments can be considered good. But after Patten started some democratic reforms in Hong Kong, Hua Xia's relationship with the British had worsened.
Why didn't the British carry out democratic reforms when Hong Kong was under British rule? They only started the reforms when they are about to return to Hua Xia's embrace. This is deliberate.
They want to weaken Hua Xia's government's influence in Hong Kong and support some people to continue to control Hong Kong's political situation.
The so-called increase in public representatives is bullshit. Li Zekai had said that one of the new representatives is from the Li Family, and the rest of the representatives are representing the big families or the British Government.
Representing the ordinary people? Only the ordinary people will believe this! Of course, they will also do their best to satisfy the public and prevent any accidents.
Li Zekai told him a lot, including some gossip about the person in charge, and … some gossip.
That's why Feng Yu's impression of this person-in-charge dropped.
Feng Yu stood up and shook Patten's hand. "Actually, I had wanted to treat the person in charge to dinner for a while."
"Mr Feng, just call me Patten. Mr. Li Zekai, I didn't expect you to be here. "Patten turned to Li Zekai.
"I had invited Brother Feng for a meal, and he said he has a friend. I didn't expect it to be you." Li Zekai's tone is casual, and he does not care about this person-in-charge, especially someone who is about to reach the end of his career.
Superman Li had met with the Chief Architect, Queen of England, and many other influential people. When Queen of England tried to recruit Superman Li, she had said that if Superman Li likes her, he can be the person in charge of Hong Kong or appointed by Superman Li.
That's why a person-in-charge is nothing in Li Zekai's eyes.
Patten was a politician, unlike the previous leaders who were all nobles. Therefore, he could only smile at Li Zekai's disdainful tone. Politicians are thick-skinned.
"It's my honor to dine with Mr. Li and Mr Feng at the same time."
Li Zekai gave Feng Yu a proud look. Did you hear that? My name is in front of yours, and this old man is blind!
Although Li Zekai is arrogant, he knows his net worth cannot be compared to Feng Yu. But he had told Feng Yu that this person-in-charge will look up to him and not Feng Yu.
Feng Yu found it funny and annoying at the same time. Hong Kong's famous Superman also has this side.
Feng Yu pressed a button on the wall, and the waiter entered. He saw Feng Yu nodded and started to serve the dishes.
