When Su Mingzhe faced Huang Dawen's question, he just snorted and said with a faint smile:
"Huang Dazhuang, in October last year, I gave you 10 million to ask you to help introduce me to a blind date. It's been almost half a year now, and you haven't done it yet. I took back the 10 million deposit, and there's nothing
Question?"
When Huang Dawen heard that Su Mingzhe was going over old scores, his eyes suddenly felt unnatural.
Half a year ago, he promised to find Su Mingzhe a famous lady, but half a year later, there was still no news.
No wonder Su Mingzhe was angry.
However, Huang Dawen is notoriously greedy for money, so how can he admit it:
"Sir Ye, you misunderstood me. I have always been worried about your affairs. It's just that Sir Ye, your requirements are relatively high, so I can't speed up my speed. If you are willing to lower your requirements a little bit, I will
There are several candidates for you, Sir Ye, to choose from!"
"If you find it difficult to do something, you can discuss it with me, but you haven't discussed it with me yet. I thought you were going to delay it for three to five years and then hide this matter..."
Su Mingzhe was not stingy with the 10 million deposit, but reminded Huang Dawen not to forget his own affairs.
Huang Dawen just likes to be greedy for money, and now Su Mingzhe wants to deduct his 10 million deposit, which is simply more uncomfortable than asking someone to beat him up.
"Since Sir Ye said so, I have a candidate in my hand. Sir Ye, if you are free, would you like to meet him?"
"Who?"
Su Mingzhe frowned and looked at Huang Dawen, his eyes full of distrust.
He didn't want Huang Dawen to randomly arrange a blind date with him.
When Huang Dawen saw this, he didn't take it seriously and simply said directly:
"She is a distant cousin of mine, a branch of the Fang family. Her name is Fang Yihua. She is also from your police station. She has just joined the job and is currently working as a trainee inspector in the Commodity Investigation Section of the region. Her father is my cousin, and he was originally a police officer.
A famous detective, who died in the line of duty while chasing criminals ten years ago. Her mother is the second daughter of the Dong family. You should know the Dong family. Thirty years ago, the Dong family was one of the top ten families of the Xiang family.
Because the Chickens invaded Xiangjiang, the entire Dong family died, and only my cousin survived. My cousin's ancestors were all heroes who sacrificed their lives to protect Xiangjiang. If you catch her, let alone the ICAC, you will be in trouble.
The Governor of Hong Kong will not touch you easily again."
The Fang family is the old-school backbone in the Xiangjiang Police Department system. Even during the period of the four chief detectives, the Fang family's status in the police department system could not be shaken.
In addition, the Fang family also occupies a place in the business circle.
Huang Dawen introduced a girl from the side branch of the Fang family to Su Mingzhe, which was considered to be more in line with Su Mingzhe's requirements.
"Is there anything else?"
When Su Mingzhe heard the name 'Fang Yihua', he felt a little familiar.
After thinking for a while, I recalled that the heroine in the movie "Letter to Dad" was named Fang Yihua.
Although after listening to Huang Dawen's introduction, he felt that Fang Yihua was pretty good, but Su Mingzhe knew that in the movie plot, Fang Yihua had been his commander's lover for five years, and was eventually betrayed by his lover and commander.
With this kind of emotional intelligence, Su Mingzhe feels that it is quite good to be a lover.
If you want to marry yourself as a wife, forget it.
"She is the most suitable one for the moment. The others are either not suitable in age for you, or their appearance and family background do not meet your requirements."
Seeing Su Mingzhe's dull expression, Huang Dawen simply said directly:
"Sir Ye, how about I arrange a meeting with you first? Is that okay? At least we can meet in person. What do you think?"
"Then let's meet."
Su Mingzhe hesitated for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.
After all, ‘Sister Mei’ has pretty good looks and temperament.
When Huang Dawen saw Su Mingzhe agreeing to meet, he immediately put on a smiling face and stretched out his fingers to rub it.
Su Mingzhe sighed, and then filled out another cashier's check for 10 million, but before handing it to Huang Dawen, he warned again:
"Huang Dazhuang, besides this Fang Yihua, you have to keep looking. Don't be perfunctory."
"No, no."
Huang Dawen took the cashier's check with a smile, said goodbye and left quickly.
The office door closed and opened again.
Su Mingzhe was surprised that someone came in without knocking.
As a result, the female secretary Linda walked in wearing a thin white shirt, a black hip-hugging skirt, and carrying a handbag.
"boss."
"What's in your hand?"
Su Mingzhe didn't remember asking Linda to bring something over.
"It's clothes."
Linda blushed. The last time she came to report to work, several buttons of her clothes were ripped off by her boss. She later left wearing one of her boss's shirts.
This time, she planned to prepare spare clothes in advance to prevent her clothes from being torn again, which made her anxious.
After hearing this, Su Mingzhe had a smile on his face.
Linda started working as her female secretary in 1969, and it has been more than five years now. She has been working hard and without complaint, and she is simply more dedicated than a model employee.
The most important thing is that Linda never asked for anything.
It can be said that among the women in Xiangjiang, Linda is the one who does the most work but has the least requirements.
"Help me organize this information first."
Su Mingzhe patted the documents Huang Dawen brought and asked the female secretary to help him organize them. He still had serious work to deal with.
"Okay, boss."
Linda put the clothes bag in her hand in the corner and started to work obediently.
As a professional female secretary, the documents Huang Dawen brought were arranged in order in Linda's hands in less than ten minutes.
After another half an hour, Linda made a form, organized all the documents clearly, and placed it on her boss's desk:
"Boss, the documents have been sorted..."
"Well, put the documents down first. I'm hungry. Order me some lunch from Jiangnan Teahouse."
Su Mingzhe waited until Linda finished ordering the takeout, and then took out the newspaper contract that Malaysian brother had transferred to him last night:
"You will give these newspapers to A-Mei later. This is what I promised her. Of the eight real estate transfer documents that Huang Dazhuang sent today, you and A-Mei will each pick two, and A-Zhu and Xiao-Hong will each pick one.
, the remaining four will be given to Deng Lin. There are more than 100 shops, the four of you will each pick ten, and the rest will be given to Deng Lin."
"Thank you, boss."
When Linda heard that Su Mingzhe had distributed properties and shops worth over 100 million to several of her sisters, she was not only excited, but also moved and reassured.
Some time ago, when a large number of public officials were arrested, Linda was worried.
Nowadays, with these real estates and shops, at least when a man abandons himself and runs away, he no longer has to rely on other men.
Su Mingzhe didn't know Linda's inner thoughts. After handing over the documents, he continued:
"I told you before that I might find a well-known lady to marry, and the time will probably be within one or two months. You don't have to worry, in my heart, you are all my women, there is no distinction between big and small. Even...
…If you are willing to give me children like Deng Lin, that’s no problem.”
From October 1971, Xiangjiang began to implement the "Revised Marriage System Regulations".
If you married before October 1971, you can continue to keep your concubines as long as they are not public officials.
Public officials, regardless of whether the Regulations are implemented before or after, must practice monogamy.
When Linda heard the news that her boss was getting married, her originally bright eyes began to darken.
However, the man's last words made Linda feel a little entangled in her heart.
Although the man agreed to let Linda give him children, this made her very happy. After all, this was an opportunity to be a mother.
But when his own child is born, he can only live his whole life as an illegitimate child.
This is where Linda is troubled.
Su Mingzhe didn't pay attention to the female secretary's psychological activities. He asked himself how many women he was good enough to.
If it were other big bosses, they would definitely not be as considerate to their female secretaries, concubines, and mistresses as I am.
Linda had lunch with the man, and then continued her work as a female secretary.
Su Mingzhe waited for Linda to finish her work and then started to make suggestions:
"Next time, change the style of your skirt. Ami will no longer go to Lichi Nightclub to sing. You can make more appointments with her and go shopping together to buy clothes. Don't be afraid of spending money."
"Well, I understand, boss."
Linda was reaching out to smooth out the wrinkles on her skirt. She felt a little tired when she heard her boss's new request.
She still remembered that when she first started working as a female secretary, her boss required her to wear a hip-covering skirt to work every day.
In the past few years, I have bought almost every style of hip-hugging skirt on the market, just to cater to my boss's interests and hobbies.
I never thought that one day my boss would get tired of hip-hugging skirts.
Afterwards, the two of them rubbed each other's ears for a while, enjoying the afterglow of their passion.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Linda left the police station with the documents and first went to Ye Zhai in the hilltop villa.
Although Su Mingzhe told Linda that she and A Mei, Wang Huizhu, and Zhong Xiaohong would pick first, and the remaining ones would be given to Deng Lin last.
However, Linda did the opposite.
She first brought the documents to Deng Lin and asked the eldest sister to pick first.
Deng Lin is not short of money. Her biological father, Deng Bo, has accumulated wealth for decades and is worth at least one billion.
And Deng Lin herself has been investing continuously over the years, and her assets are in the hundreds of millions.
Therefore, although the properties and shops provided by Su Mingzhe were not too small, they did not excite Deng Lin very much.
However, when Deng Lin got the documents and started making selections, she was still in a good mood.
After all, in her opinion, the assets that a man gave to Linda, A Mei, Wang Huizhu, and Zhong Xiaohong were not as much as what he gave to herself alone.
Deng Lin was in a good mood when she felt that she was being taken seriously.
In a good mood, it didn't take long for Deng Lin to pick out the properties and shops.
Later, Linda went to the villa next door.
A Mei has been living here these days, and Wang Huizhu and Zhong Xiaohong rarely go out shopping.
The four women gathered in the living room and divided up the real estate and shops. Linda originally wanted to go back to the company and continue to deal with the remaining factories and villas.
As a result, Wang Huizhu stopped her and refused to let her go, insisting that the four of them play mahjong for a while.
Linda couldn't resist, so she had to stay.
Huang Dawen made arrangements very quickly. What was decided in the morning was decided on the time and place of the blind date in the afternoon.
It's Friday.
Su Mingzhe drove to a Western restaurant in Causeway Bay and met the young "Sister Mei".
Fang Yihua has short fluffy hair, gentle eyes, and a little sense of alienation. She wears delicate makeup on her slightly thin face. She wears a light gray windbreaker on the outside, a slim woolen sweater and trousers on the inside.
The feeling is very bourgeois.
"Hello, is this Miss Fang? Sorry, I'm late."
Su Mingzhe also didn't expect that Fang Yihua, as a girl, would come so fast. If he had known that, he would have let go of his speed when he came just now.
"Sir Ye, you're welcome. We agreed to leave at seven o'clock, but it's only six-thirty-five now. You're already here."
Fang Yihua is younger and more beautiful than the character in the movie, and does not have the fatigue of the vicissitudes of life in the movie, but his tone of voice is very similar to the character in the movie, very crisp and clear, without any sloppiness.
Wait for Su Mingzhe to sit down and order his meal.
Fang Yihua was the first to speak:
"Sir Ye, let's put it bluntly. I don't like blind dates very much, and I don't know why my family wants to introduce you as someone I trust. However, I know a little about you."
"Um?"
Su Mingzhe raised his eyebrows and motioned for the woman to continue.
Fang Yihua's eyes gradually became sharp, and his aura was opened:
"Sir Ye, you came to Xiangjiang in 1969. Relying on the ancestral property you brought from the mainland, you established the Golden Dragon Group in Xiangjiang... During the ICAC crisis, you were an important member of the corruption group, but due to being turned into a taint witness
, received an amnesty from the Governor of Hong Kong... Now he serves as the Chief Inspector of the West Kowloon Region. He spent his own money to establish a monitoring system... It is rumored by the outside world that the eleven disappearing societies are all related to you, is that true? "
"You know quite a lot about me."
Su Mingzhe didn't have the intention to correct some of the wrong information Fang Yihua said, so he chuckled directly:
"So, will Miss Fang still be willing to go on this blind date with me?"
"Xiang, otherwise, how can I explain this to my family?"
Fang Yihua graduated from Oxford University last year and after joining the police force, his family elders took great care and sent him to Scotland Yard for training.
Not even a month after returning, Fang Yihua suddenly received the news that his uncle asked him to go on a blind date. Fang Yihua felt a little disgusted with the family's arrangement for him.
However, over the years, Fang Yihua and her mother have always been protected by the family. Food, drink, food, and housing are all provided by the family.
Therefore, no matter how much Fang Yihua resents the family arrangement, he still has to go through the blind date process.
"Yes, otherwise, how can I explain it to my family?"
Su Mingzhe saw that Fang Yihua had a similar personality to the character in the movie, and for some reason, he started to like him a little bit, and his tone of voice couldn't help but bring out a bit of intimacy.
Afterwards, the two of them ate and chatted.
Blind dates in the 1970s were actually no different from those in later generations.
What we discussed at the beginning were all about conditions.
Fang Yihua himself graduated from Oxford University. Although he joined the police only a short time ago, he has already been trained by Scotland Yard, so his future promotion path will definitely be smooth sailing.
She is now a trainee inspector, and even if she follows the old-fashioned way and gets promoted one level in five years, she will be a chief inspector in ten years.
If you're lucky, you'll be the superintendent fifteen years later.
This is calculated based on normal conditions.
If the Fang family behind Fang Yihua puts in more effort, it can basically be guaranteed to reach level one in three years.
In this case, Fang Yihua will be promoted to superintendent in ten years.
That is, you can enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree.
The reason why Su Mingzhe came to meet was just because of the Fang family's background and strength.
However, in the plot of the movie "Letter to Dad", Fang Yihua seems to be in her thirties, but she is still just an inspector, and she has also been her superior's lover for five years. From this, it seems that she should have broken up with her family.
When Su Mingzhe thought of this, he felt at ease and tied a red thread of lovesickness to her and himself.
