Chapter 278 The duplicitous man

Chapter 278 The duplicitous man

Li Changhe did not stay in Bao Yugang's office for a long time because Bao Yugang was too busy.

He was going to fly to Europe in the afternoon, and the two of them didn't even have lunch.

After coming out of the Global Shipping headquarters, Li Changhe and Weiers got into the car.

"Will you go back to the company in the afternoon?"

"Actually, I think you could let Richard pull you around."

"I'll just keep an eye on the company."

"The last time you came, it was the hottest time of the year, and you couldn't see many of the views of Hong Kong Island."

"But this time is different. The temperature is neither too hot nor too cold, which is perfect for sightseeing."

Weiss gave Li Changhe some serious advice.

Li Changhe was quite interested when he heard this.

Although it is the coldest time of the year in Beijing now, the temperature in Hong Kong Island, the southernmost part of the country, is actually neither too cold nor too hot.

The daytime temperature is generally around 15-22 degrees, which is a refreshing season.

"Go ahead, I'll go back to the company later, it's not far anyway!"

Wei Er Si saw an interested look on Li Changhe's face and tried to persuade him.

"Okay, then you go back and keep an eye on it while I look around!"

Li Changhe nodded, taking the opportunity to familiarize himself with the road conditions in Hong Kong Island.

Afterwards, Li Changhe also got out of the car and sat in the passenger seat.

"Boss, where are we going?"

In the driver's seat, Richard asked Li Changhe.

"Just wander around without any destination, just look around!"

Li Changhe spoke gently to Richard.

Richard nodded: "Then let's go around Hong Kong Island first, and then go to Kowloon."

So Richard started from Central and ran along Gloucester Avenue, visiting places like North Point, Big Wave Bay, Shek O, Stanley Prison, and the Yacht Club.

Then we returned to Central, crossed the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel, and arrived in Kowloon.

Li Changhe also had no destination. As Richard drove, Richard roughly guessed Li Changhe's mentality, which was to make a complete tour of Hong Kong Island, so he started a circular route from Kowloon to Kwun Tong, Tseung Kwan O, Sai Kung, and Sha Tin.

"It used to be very desolate here, just countryside, but a few years ago the Hong Kong government proposed a new town plan, and built up places like Tseung Kwan O, Kwun Tong, Shatin, and Yuen Long. The roads were also well built, and it's now quite prosperous."

Richard explained to Li Changhe while driving.

Li Changhe nodded and looked out the window.

The tall buildings rising from the ground and the construction sites under constant construction give it a feeling similar to that of small third- or fourth-tier cities in later generations.

These new towns are actually new urban residential areas developed by the Hong Kong government to ease population pressure in Central and Kowloon.

These new towns also became the domain of Chinese real estate tycoons.

In fact, whether it is Sun Hung Kai or Cheung Kong, these companies all made their fortunes in these new towns.

It was difficult for them to initially take over the core areas of Kowloon and Central, as there was very little land left, all of which was occupied by British financial groups.

Therefore, most Chinese real estate companies started out by building these new towns.

In fact, these new towns have brought them rich returns.

Li Changhe remembered that Li Ka-shing, together with Li Ka-shing and others, developed a large residential community, Shatin First City, in Sha Tin. They kept the property secret for nearly 20 years and finally made a huge profit of 40 billion.

What a patient guy!
In a blink of an eye, the two of them had been shopping for more than three hours and had walked around most of Kowloon and the New Territories.

Richard looked at his watch at this time, and then said to Li Changhe: "Boss, we are not far from Maryknoll Convent School now. Should we go there and pick up Miss Guan?"

"Why pick her up?"

Li Changhe asked in surprise.

Richard explained to Li Changhe, "Mr. Wei found a connection for Miss Guan and enrolled her in TVB's performing arts training class."

"Although she has not yet graduated from Form 5, Mr. Wei will send me to pick her up to attend acting classes after 3:30 every afternoon."

"She studied acting? Wireless acting class?"

Li Changhe was a little surprised. Does this girl have any acting skills?
Richard thought Li Changhe was just asking questions, so he immediately explained to Li Changhe.

"The TVB acting class is the acting training offered by TVB. It is their own actor training class, which lasts for one year."

"But Miss Guan is not an employee of TVB. Mr. Wei stuffed her in, so she is just learning acting from the teacher there for a few hours every day."

"I'll be responsible for picking her up and dropping her off!"

"I see! Since the time is almost up, let's pick her up on the way!"

Li Changhe didn't care.

Now the time is almost up, and if Richard sends him back, it will be too late to turn back.

There's no need to go through so much trouble.

"it is good!"

Richard then turned the car onto the road leading to Maryknoll Convent.

The car was parked in a parking space on the side of the road, just in time for the school bell to ring.

Some girls in school uniforms began to walk out one by one.

Li Changhe looked outside through the car window.

Maryknoll Convent Girls' School, like St. Stephen's Church School that Li Changhe passed by while eating pork trotter rice that day, is a church school, so their school uniforms are both British style.

Soon, Li Changhe saw Guan Jiahui coming out of the school. She was alone at the moment, as proud as a white swan, walking towards the Mercedes-Benz with her chest held high.

She is now very grateful to Mr. Wei for letting Richard pick her up and drop her off every day.

With her million-dollar luxury car, she has become a well-known figure in the entire Maryknoll Convent Girls' School.

Almost all of her classmates knew that she had been spotted by a film company and would start making movies as soon as she graduated.

Of course, there were also many rumors during this period, such as that she was not making a movie, but was kept by a rich man.

However, Guan Jiahui doesn't care about these rumors.

Support? She would love it!
That bunch of idiots had no idea who that person was. If they knew, they would probably want to replace her.

So at this moment, Guan Jiahui, deep in her heart, was actually looking down on all these classmates.

A bunch of mediocre people who do nothing.

Arriving at the familiar rear door of the car, Guan Jiahui obediently opened the door and got in.

"Mr. Richard, let's go!"

After getting in the car, Guan Jiahui said softly.

But this time Richard didn't respond, but looked to the side.

When Guan Jiahui came in, she sat behind Li Changhe.

So she didn't see Li Changhe sitting in the passenger seat.

"Let's go, Richard!"

Li Changhe said with a chuckle at this time.

When Guan Jiahui heard Li Changhe's voice, she opened her big eyes wide in surprise.

"Victor?"

At this moment, Guan Jiahui shouted at Li Changhe with surprise in her heart.

Li Changhe nodded: "Classmate Guan, we meet again."

"Yes, we haven't seen each other since you went to study in the United States."

"Victor, did you come here specially to pick me up?"

Guan Jiahui asked Li Changhe with full anticipation at this moment.

Li Changhe smiled and shook his head: "No!"

"Richard and I walked over there. Richard said he wanted to pick you up for acting class, so he stopped by."

Li Changhe said calmly.

"Oh, well, I thought you came here just to see me?"

Guan Jiahui said with disappointment at this moment.

But then she secretly glanced at Li Changhe again and found that he didn't respond at all. She couldn't help feeling speechless.

What a duplicity man!
Who would drop by the school?

You can't find a better excuse, so use such a lame one.

Do you really think she is a child who is so easy to fool?

Maybe it's because he became arrogant after becoming a rich young man?
Guan Jiahui thought secretly in her heart that she felt she had seen through Li Changhe's tricks.

Li Changhe didn't think so much, but followed Richard and soon arrived at the wireless TV station's office.

"Let's go in together."

Li Changhe said to Richard and Guan Jiahui with a smile at this time.

Part of the reason he came along was that he wanted to visit the TVB station.

After all, for him, TVB still has a strong sense of the times, and the Hong Kong dramas he watched back then were basically all produced by it.

Such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Return of the Condor Heroes", "Swordsman", "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" and so on.

Richard and Guan Jiahui were familiar with the place and quickly took Li Changhe to the acting class trainer.

There was a teacher giving a lecture inside. Li Changhe took a look but didn't recognize him.

Then he looked at the students inside curiously. Well, he still didn’t recognize any of them.

He didn't see any of the Liang Chaowei, Liu Dehua, Zhou Xingchi and the like.

This made Li Changhe a little disappointed. It wasn't that he wanted to do anything. He just wanted to show off in front of a few people and play a prophecy or something.

Unfortunately, there is no such opportunity!

But come to think of it, it's only January 79, and the students inside should all be from the grade.

Liang Chaowei and his friends probably joined the acting class after the 80s, so it is probably too early now.

After all, Li Ho-wo was not dead yet, and the Li family was the major shareholder of TVB.

However, if nothing unexpected happens, Li Ka-shing will suddenly pass away this year.

Unfortunately, it is very difficult for Li Changhe to seize Li family’s shares.

He had actually considered it before, but after thinking it over, he gave up.

Because Li Ka-shing's death was sudden, and Run Run Shaw had been the general manager of TVB.

It can be said that he has worked with Li Ho-woo for many years. It is reasonable for Li Ho-woo's wife to sell her shares to Shao Yi-fu rather than to Li Changhe who suddenly appeared.

After all, if Li Changhe really wants to seize Wireless's shares, his advantage is that he has money to spend.

But the Li family is not short of money. As the largest landlord in Causeway Bay and one of the four major families of the first generation, the Li family’s hidden wealth is definitely at the top of Hong Kong Island.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talking about the land, the Li family owns more than half of the land in Causeway Bay and has built many buildings. In the future, the rent alone will be an astronomical figure every year.

In addition, they also have many factories such as soft drink factories and TVB, which are just a less noticeable part of the industries left by Li Ka-shing.

Li Luk Ngan Kwan, also known as Li Ka-shing's wife, has attended TVB's evening parties every year. It can be seen that she has a close relationship with Run Run Shaw and there is no conflict between them.

Therefore, after considering it, Li Changhe finally gave up the idea.

"Boss, should we go out and wait? Or should we just follow here and watch?"

Richard asked Li Changhe at this time.

"Let's go out."

There's nothing interesting here, and he doesn't have to learn acting skills.

The two men then walked out, but when they reached the door, they were slightly stunned.

In front of their car, there was a slightly wretched fat man who was circling their car, looking left and right, and even lying on the car window to look at the decorations inside.
