Chapter 881 Going to Australia as a Lobbyist
Speaking of eating, Guam really has no food to show off. Although it is an island and has a lot of fish resources, the local government prohibits commercial fishing. In other words, there are no professional fishermen in Guam. If you want to eat fish, you can either go fishing yourself or go to the market to buy imported goods.
Not only fish, but this island does not have much agriculture and animal husbandry. Food, agricultural and sideline products are imported. Even fruits come from across the ocean. It is impossible to eat various fruits in other tropical countries and are very expensive.
The most popular here are hamburgers, Japanese cuisine, and a kind of chamolo dish from the local natives, mainly roasted chicken and pork chops. It is not easy to have delicious meals when you want to have a casual walk. The best choice is to eat in a Japanese restaurant in the hotel, but the price is much higher than that of Japan and the taste is not much changed.
"Go back to Australia? Why!" After dinner, Qi Rui and Jiang Zhuyi both fell asleep. Hong Tao was also very tired, but he still pulled Diane to sit on the balcony to drink coffee, and asked her to come and what to do. Diane was very sensitive. When she heard that Hong Tao was going to see her grandmother, every hair on her body was almost standing up.
"Don't be nervous, your grandmother has helped me so much, I can't pretend not to know. I have seen Qi Rui's aunt. This time I went to Australia to thank her in person."
Thomas has already told Diane not to tell Zhang Chenglin about it. Think about it, let Diane know that there is another brother, which may make her hate the Zhang family even more, at least not for now.
"It's true, she still owes me a promise, and it's just right to go back." Hong Tao had a very good reason. Even if Diane didn't want to go back, she could only pinch her nose and accept her fate.
"I know you have a lot of opinions about her, but one code is the same, and the etiquette you should have must not be missing, so you can do it with your own will." Hong Tao had heard from Ms. Bai that he agreed with the transaction. He should have been like this. Since it was thrown out as a bargaining chip, you have to maximize your own benefits. Don't act irritating, as it would be even more loss.
"When will you leave?" Anyway, I have to accompany Hong Tao. Diane is quite thinking about it. Go early and be neat, don't drag it.
"This has to be conveyed by you. My current identity is an engineer in Aunt Qi Rui's company. I can't leave here casually. If you want to enter Australia, you have to rely on your grandmother's help."
The reason why I had to wait for Diane to come was not that I could not go to Australia if I left her, but that Hong Tao and Jiang Zhuyi had no legal status to enter the country. I definitely couldn't bother Ms. Feng anymore, so I could only let Old Mrs. Zhang find a way.
"That's right. Not only do you have to have a legal identity, but you also have to take a private plane. Don't waste it. Don't save it for her!" Diane felt that it was not enough for Hong Tao's request. Now she likes to cause trouble for her hateful grandmother.
The old lady of the Zhang family did not make any sense about Hong Tao's request for home visit and agreed quickly. As for how to get Hong Tao to enter the country, the Zhang family and the Feng family's methods were exactly the same.
Hong Tao and Jiang Zhuyi transformed themselves into foreign employees of the Gulf of Mexico Petroleum Equipment Company. The nationality is Chile. With a work visa and two passports that are not authentic or fake, they boarded the Zhang family's private plane a week later. It was also a four-hour journey. They first landed at Darwin Port and then went directly to Perth, the largest city in western Australia, after customs clearance.
"Master Hong, I'm glad to see you again..." The chubby family lawyer Kang Li was the one who came to pick him up. Her words were very intriguing. They not only expressed their greetings, but also reminded Hong Tao not to forget how he came out.
But it doesn't have such a strong sense of strength. It's really worthy of being the spokesperson of the big family. It's covered with burdens. Just shaking one can make people think about it for a long time. I can't figure out whether she has this meaning, but the effect of reminder has been achieved.
"Ms. Kang Li, you are at least three years younger than the last time you met in Beijing. It seems that the Zhang family has developed very smoothly in the past two years. People feel refreshed when they are happy, and they feel refreshed all over the place."
Regardless of whether she had this meaning or not, Hong Tao thought she had it, but the account had to be made clear. It was not that Zhang Jialu had rescued himself after seeing the injustice. It should be an exchange of interests, and no one needs to owe anyone.
What truly resolutely went to save herself was not the money and power of the Zhang family and Feng family, but Diane who didn't say a word behind her. After this micro-dot case, her fate in mainland China was firmly tied to herself. No matter where she went, she would be considered her spokesperson, and it would be useless to explain it.
"The metaphor of Master Hong is very appropriate. Ms. Kruger, welcome to go home. Thank you for your hard work this time... This is Director Jiang, welcome to Perth. I'm afraid there is no prosperous capital here. If you have any unaccustomed places, please tell me. My task is to take good care of everyone's life in Perth."
Kang Li also understood what Hong Tao meant, and did not talk more nonsense, and quickly admitted Hong Tao's statement. Her performance was obviously the attitude of the old lady of the Zhang family. After Hong Tao's recognition, the transaction was finally completed and the money would be cleared.
Compared to his enthusiasm for Hong Tao, Diane received a hug as good as Hong Tao. However, there is a small detail that Kang Li no longer calls Diane Miss, but has changed to a lady.
She knew that Diane was still unmarried, so she definitely didn't call her this title, but she should be sending another message to Hong Tao. The Zhang family's attitude towards Diane has regarded her as a married woman, and she does not intend to worry about whether Hong Tao will marry Diane. Everyone knows this matter well and understands each other best.
But when Jiang Zhuyi also walked out of the cabin, Kang Li's attitude was all polite. The Zhang family and Feng family didn't know much about Jiang Zhuyi, and no one mentioned this woman before, and no one had deliberately paid attention to it.
This time, Jiang Zhuyi suddenly appeared beside Hong Tao and was a woman who had a great influence on Hong Tao, which caught the two families a little off guard. Before they could figure out what the relationship between Jiang Zhuyi and Hong Tao was, they could only treat each other with courtesy. They should not be too enthusiastic or too cold.
"This time I came to Australia, I wanted to meet Diane's grandmother alone. In addition to expressing my gratitude in person, I also wanted to talk about other things, so I could only talk about it alone." Hong Tao is familiar with this kind of occasion of ushering in and seeing off, but he was extremely annoying and no longer wanted to continue to play puzzles with Kang Li.
"... The old chairman is in poor health and was hospitalized after returning from Hong Kong. To be honest, she doesn't wake up every day and may not be able to have such conversations. Even if the family members allow it, the chairman's private medical team will not agree."
"Their opinions have legal effect, and neither the board of directors nor the heirs have the right to interfere. I have no choice but to try to ask and don't hold too much hope." Hong Tao's purpose of coming to Australia was not explained in advance, and Diane could not directly contact the old lady of the Zhang family. Everything was arranged by Kang Li.
Now that she heard Hong Tao’s request, she was still so anxious, Kang Li looked embarrassed. She didn’t care about any politeness and directly signaled Hong Tao to walk away a few steps, avoided Diane and Jiang Zhuyi, and then she whispered the truth.
"Dian, you guys go to the car to wait for me first. I will talk to Ms. Kang Li for a few words." It's too memorable... Hong Tao believes that Kang Li is not perfunctory, and letting herself enter the country. It's meaningless to draw a clear line.
But Old Mrs. Zhang is too sick. If her illness cannot be cured in a short period of time, wouldn’t she have to wait for a long time? The problem is that an elderly man in his twilight years has been hospitalized and is already in a state of confusion. Can he be cured in a short period of time?
What should I do? Hong Tao had no choice but to ask Kang Li first. Her status in the Zhang family is higher than that of the Zhang family's son and daughter. In many cases, it can represent the wishes of Mrs. Zhang, and I hope she can make decisions on this matter.
"I think this matter is a family matter and should not be asked by outsiders. Thomas can tell it himself." Zhang Chenglin's question is actually very simple, and Hong Tao couldn't say too many details. Kang Li only heard this name and showed an unhappy look. Obviously, she knew this person and guessed who made Hong Tao come to be the lobbyist.
