Chapter 516: Blind Date with Fang Yihua
“The amount is correct.”

Facing Huang Dawen's questioning, Su Mingzhe just snorted and smiled faintly:

"Mr. Huang, last October, I gave you 10 million and asked you to introduce me to a blind date. It's been almost half a year now, and you haven't done it yet. I'll take back the 10 million deposit. Is that okay?"

When Huang Dawen heard Su Mingzhe bringing up old matters, his eyes suddenly became a little unnatural.

Half a year ago, he promised to find a lady from a prominent family for Su Mingzhe, but half a year has passed and there is still no news.

No wonder Su Mingzhe was angry.

However, Huang Dawen was notoriously greedy for money, so he was not willing to admit it:

"Sir Ye, you misunderstood me. I have always been concerned about your affairs. It's just that Sir Ye's requirements are relatively high, so I can't be fast. If you are willing to lower your requirements a little bit, I have several candidates for you to choose from!"

"If you feel it's 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 keep it a secret..."

Su Mingzhe was not stingy with the 10 million deposit, but instead reminded Huang Dawen not to forget about his own affairs.

Huang Dawen is a greedy person. Now Su Mingzhe wants to deduct 10 million yuan from his deposit, which is even more painful than finding someone to beat him up.

"Since you said so, Sir Ye, 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 arrange a blind date with someone just for him.

Huang Dawen saw this and didn't take it seriously. He just said:

"She is a distant cousin of mine, from the Fang family. Her name is Fang Yihua. She is also from your police system. She has just joined the company and is currently working as a trainee inspector in the Commodity Investigation Division of the General Region. Her father is my cousin. He was also a tough detective. He died in the line of duty ten years ago while chasing criminals. 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 in Hong Kong. Because the foot basin chicken invaded Hong Kong, the entire Dong family died, and only my cousin's mother survived. My cousin's ancestors were heroes who sacrificed their lives to protect Hong Kong. If you can get her, not to mention the ICAC giving you trouble, even the Governor of Hong Kong will not easily touch you again."

The Fang family is the old-school backbone of the Hong Kong police system. Even during the period of the four chief Chinese detectives, the Fang family's position in the police system could not be shaken.

In addition, the Fang family also has a place in the business circle.

Huang Dawen introduced Su Mingzhe to a girl from the Fang family's branch branch, who 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 remembered that the heroine in the movie "A Letter to Dad" was called Fang Yihua.

Although he felt that Fang Yihua was quite good after listening to Huang Dawen's introduction, Su Mingzhe knew that in the movie plot, Fang Yihua had been the lover of his superior for five years, and was finally betrayed by her lover and superior.

With this kind of emotional intelligence, Su Mingzhe feels that it would be a good choice to have a lover.

If you want to marry her home as your wife, forget it.

"She is the most suitable one for now. The others are either not suitable for you in age or their appearance and family background do not meet your requirements."

Huang Dawen saw that Su Mingzhe looked calm, so he said directly:
"Sir Ye, how about I arrange a meeting between you two? Is that ok? At least we can meet first, what do you think?"

"Then let's meet."

Su Mingzhe hesitated for a while, but finally nodded in agreement.

After all, 'Sister Mei' has pretty good looks and temperament.

When Huang Dawen saw that Su Mingzhe agreed to meet him, he immediately put on a wry face and rubbed his fingers together.

Su Mingzhe sighed, and then filled out another promissory note for 10 million yuan. However, before handing it to Huang Dawen, he reminded him again:

"Mr. Huang, besides Fang Yihua, you have to continue looking for her. Don't just do it half-heartedly."

"No, no."

Huang Dawen took the promissory note with a smile and quickly said goodbye and left.

The office door closed and opened again.

Su Mingzhe was just wondering who came in without knocking.

As a result, the secretary Linda walked in wearing a thin white shirt, a black hip skirt, and carrying a handbag.

"boss."

"What do you have in your hand?"

Su Mingzhe didn't remember asking Linda to bring anything over.

"It's clothes."

Linda blushed. The last time she came to report on her work, her boss had ripped off several buttons on her clothes. Later, she left wearing one of her boss's shirts.

This time, she prepared spare clothes in advance to avoid the clothes she was wearing getting torn again and causing her to become anxious.

After hearing this, Su Mingzhe smiled.

Linda started working as her own secretary in 69, and it has been more than five years now. She has always worked very hard and is even more dedicated than a model employee.

The most important point is that Linda never asked for anything.

It can be said that among the several women in Hong Kong, Linda does the most work but has the least requirements.

"Help me organize these materials first."

Su Mingzhe patted the documents Huang Dawen brought and asked the female secretary to help him organize them as he still had serious work to deal with.

"Okay, boss."

Linda put the bag of clothes in the corner and started to work obediently.

As a professional female secretary, Linda sorted out the documents that Huang Dawen brought in less than ten minutes.

Another half an hour later, Linda made a spreadsheet, sorted out all the documents, and placed it on her boss's desk:

"Boss, the documents have been sorted out..."

"Well, put the documents down first. I'm hungry. Order me some lunch from Jiangnan Tea House."

Su Mingzhe waited until Linda finished ordering takeout, and then took out the newspaper contract that Da Ma Ge transferred to him last night:
"You will give these newspapers to A-Mei later. This is what I promised her. Today, Mr. Huang sent the transfer documents for eight buildings. You and A-Mei will each pick two. Give A-Zhu and Xiao-Hong one each. The remaining four will be given to Deng Lin. There are more than a hundred shops. Each of you four will pick ten. The rest will also be given to Deng Lin."

"thank you boss."

When Linda heard that Su Mingzhe distributed properties and shops worth over 100 million yuan to her sisters, she was excited, touched and relieved.

When a large number of public officials were arrested some time ago, Linda was very worried.

Now that I have these properties and shops, at least I don’t have to rely on another man after his man leaves me and runs away.

Su Mingzhe didn't know what Linda was thinking. After handing over the document, he continued:

"I've told you before that I might find a lady from a prominent family to marry, and the time will probably be in the next one or two months. You don't have to worry, in my heart, you are all my women, regardless of age. Even... if you are willing to give birth to children for me like Deng Lin, that's fine too."

Since October 1971, Hong Kong has begun to implement the Revised Marriage Ordinance.

If the concubines were married before October 1971, they could continue to be kept as long as they were not public officials.

Public officials must practice monogamy regardless of before or after the implementation of the Regulations.

When Linda heard the news that her boss was getting married, her eyes, which were bright as stars, began to dim. However, the man's last words made Linda feel a little entangled in her heart.

Although the man agreed to let Linda give birth to children for him, which made her very happy, after all, it was an opportunity to be a mother.

But once your own child is born, he or she can only live the rest of his or her life as an illegitimate child.

This is where Linda struggles.

Su Mingzhe didn't pay attention to the female secretary's psychological activities. He asked himself whether he had been good enough to several women.

If it were any other big boss, he would definitely not be as considerate to his female secretary, mistress or concubine as I am.

Linda had lunch with the man and then continued her work as a secretary.

Su Mingzhe waited for Linda to finish her work before he started to offer suggestions:
"Change the style of your skirt next time. Amei won't go to the Ritz nightclub to sing anymore. You can ask her out more often and go shopping for clothes together. Don't be afraid to spend money."

"Yes, I understand, boss."

Linda was smoothing out the wrinkles on her skirt with her hands. She felt a little tired when she heard her boss's new request.

She still remembers that when she first started working as a secretary, her boss required her to wear a tight skirt to work every day.

In the past few years, I have bought almost all styles of hip skirts on the market just to cater to my boss's interests and hobbies.

I never expected that one day my boss would get tired of pencil skirts.

Afterwards, the two of them rubbed their ears together for a while, enjoying the afterglow of the passion.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Linda left the police station with the documents and went to Ye's house in the mountaintop villa first.

Although Su Mingzhe told Linda to let her, Amei, Wang Huizhu and Zhong Xiaohong choose first, the remaining ones would be given to Deng Lin.

However, Linda did it the other way around.

She first brought the documents to Deng Lin and let this big sister choose first.

Deng Lin is not short of money. The wealth accumulated by her father Deng Bo over decades is worth at least over 10 billion.

Deng Lin himself has been investing continuously over the years, and his assets are worth over 100 million yuan.

Therefore, although the properties and shops given by Su Mingzhe were not small, they did not make Deng Lin very excited.

However, Deng Lin was in a good mood when he got the documents and started to select.

After all, in her opinion, the assets the man gave to Linda, Amei, Wang Huizhu and Zhong Xiaohong were not as much as what he gave to herself alone.

Deng Lin was in a good mood because she felt that she was valued.

In a good mood, Deng Lin quickly picked out the properties and shops.

Then Linda went to the villa next door.

Amei has been staying here these days, and Wang Huizhu and Zhong Xiaohong rarely go out shopping.

The four women gathered in the living room and divided the properties and shops. Linda originally wanted to go back to the company to continue dealing with the remaining factories and villas.

As a result, Wang Huizhu held her back and refused to let her leave, insisting that the four of them play mahjong for a while.

Linda couldn't refuse, so she had to stay.

Huang Dawen made arrangements quickly. He confirmed everything in the morning and decided on the time and place for 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 fluffy short hair and gentle eyes with a little sense of alienation. Her slightly thin face is painted with delicate makeup. She wears a light grey windbreaker on the outside and a slim wool sweater and trousers inside. The overall feeling she gives people is that of a petty bourgeois.

"Hello, is this Miss Fang? Sorry, I'm late."

Su Mingzhe didn't expect that Fang Yihua, as a girl, would come so quickly. If he had known this, he would have slowed down when he came just now.

"You're welcome, Sir Ye. We agreed to meet at seven o'clock, but it's only six thirty-five now. You're already here early."

Fang Yihua is younger and more beautiful than the character in the movie, and she doesn’t have the vicissitudes of life and fatigue that the character in the movie has. However, her tone of voice is very similar to the character in the movie, very crisp and clear, without any dragging.

Wait for Su Mingzhe to sit down and order food.

Fang Yihua was the first to speak:
"Sir Ye, let's be frank. I don't really like blind dates, and I don't know why my family wants to introduce you to me. But I know a little about you."

"Ok?"

Su Mingzhe raised his eyebrows and motioned for the woman to continue.

Fang Yihua's eyes gradually became sharper, and her aura was also opened up:
"Sir Ye, you came to Hong Kong in 69. With the ancestral property you brought from the mainland, you set up the Golden Dragon Group in Hong Kong... During the ICAC storm, you were an important member of the corruption group, but because you turned into a tainted witness, you were pardoned by the Governor of Hong Kong... Now you are the Chief Inspector of the West Kowloon Region, and you paid for the establishment of a surveillance system out of your own pocket... It is said that the eleven disappeared societies are all related to you, is that true?"

"You know a lot about me."

Su Mingzhe didn't bother to correct some of the wrong information Fang Yihua said, and just chuckled:
"So, Miss Fang, are you still willing to go on this blind date with me?"

"Oh, otherwise, how can I explain this to my family?"

Fang Yihua graduated from Oxford University last year. After joining the police station, she was sent to Scotland Yard for training by the elders of her clan.

It has not even been a month since she came back, but she suddenly received a message from her uncle asking her to go on a blind date. Fang Yihua was somewhat disgusted with her family's arrangement for her.

However, over the years, Fang Yihua and her mother have always been protected by the family. Food, drink, supplies and housing are all provided by the family.

Therefore, no matter how much Fang Yihua disliked the family arrangement, she had to complete 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. For some reason, he began to like her a little, and his tone of voice couldn't help but become a little familiar.

Afterwards, the two of them ate and chatted.

Blind dates in the 1970s were actually not much different from those in later generations.

The first thing we talked about was the conditions.

Fang Yihua graduated from Oxford University. Although she has only been in the police force for a short time, she has already received training at Scotland Yard, so her future career path will definitely be smooth.

She is now a trainee inspector. Even if she follows the old ways, she will be promoted to the next level every five years, and in ten years, she will be the chief inspector.

If you are luckier, you will be a police superintendent in fifteen years.

This is calculated under normal circumstances.

If the Fang family behind Fang Yihua can make more efforts, it can basically be ensured that she can reach the first level in three years.

In this way, Fang Yihua will be promoted to superintendent in ten years.

That's it, it's nice to sit under a big tree and enjoy the shade.

The reason why Su Mingzhe came to meet him was because he was attracted by the background and strength of the Fang family.

However, in the plot of the movie "A Letter to Dad", Fang Yihua seems to be in her thirties and is still just an inspector. 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 love between her and himself.
