Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Chapter 692 Reunion with Wu Jing, Mr. Wu of the Bao Family
He Yuzhu's words triggered Wu Jing's paranoia again. The events of last night had already created a rift between him and Dong Yong. This wasn't to say that Wu Jing was stupid, but rather that there had been too many betrayals within large families.

Living in a family like the Wu family, and being a young master who resents his deceased elder brother, Wu Jing is bound to be involved in intrigue and power struggles. Therefore, when the Wu family is in a bad situation, especially when the capital chain is broken and not yet repaired, Dong Yong, the financial backer who holds shares in the Wu family, has a high probability of taking over the family business.
In particular, unlike He Yuzhu, who had a shallow foundation in Hong Kong, Dong Yong was said to have brought a lot of gold with him when he came to Hong Kong. Nobody knows exactly how much, but he gained the friendship of senior executives at HSBC.
In Hong Kong, money buys connections. People like Dong Yong are very popular there, and he has accumulated a lot of connections over the years. If the Wu family hadn't been backed by the Li family, they might not have paid any attention to him. Therefore, Dong Yong is capable of taking over the Wu family's business!

"You bumpkin, your attempts to provoke me won't work. How could an outsider like you possibly understand the relationship between Dong Yong and me?"

Although Wu Jing had his suspicions, he didn't say much after his father advised him. He just planned to have someone investigate to see if Dong Yong was really up to something.
Dong Yong was furious. This kid was not a proper son, and he kept reminding Wu Jing, that idiot. But this was the Huo family, and he was determined to stick to his low-key persona. He Yuzhu, just wait and see. Once I've secured a piece of land in Hong Kong, I'll play with you slowly!
"Alright, I only reminded you because we're both from the capital. You guys have fun, I'll just wander around!"

He Yuzhu shrugged, looking completely unconcerned!
"Wait a minute, this isn't over yet when we infiltrated the Huo family manor. Aren't you feeling guilty?"

When Wu Jing saw He Yuzhu trying to leave, he immediately blocked his way. "Look at your clothes, they look so tacky. Why is Grandpa stopping you? Isn't it because he suspects you've infiltrated the Huo family manor?"

"Hehe... There's a reason why the Wu family is declining. Did you think the Huo family could just barge in so easily? Let me tell you today, I was invited here by Old Master Huo. Are you dumbfounded now?"

He Yuzhu looked at Wu Jing with a mocking expression, as if to say, "Does your old man have the qualifications?"
"Haha... Old Master Huo would invite a country bumpkin like you? You're really stupid. If it were me, I'd definitely say it was Young Master Huo who invited you, that would be more believable. Old Master Huo? Haha... Security, come here!"

Wu Jing laughed heartily, saying, "He brought this on himself! Why did He Yuzhu have to criticize Old Huo of all people?"
"Young Master Wu, what are your orders?"

Actually, they heard Wu Jing shouting earlier, but they just ignored it. However, they couldn't just ignore such a loud voice and disturb the other guests, or they would be in big trouble.

The Huo family offers very good benefits, and they don't want to lose their jobs. The reason they ignored them earlier was because Huo Shao personally greeted He Yuzhu. As security guards, they had that much sense to consider.
"What kind of security are you doing? How could such a country bumpkin get in? It seems I need to remind Young Master Huo to strengthen his home security!"

The armed police officer looked down at the security guard with his nose in the air, as if to say, "Get out of here right now, or I'll complain to Young Master Huo about your dereliction of duty!"
"Young Master Wu, this gentleman was personally greeted by the young master!"

He Yuzhu is definitely someone we can't afford to offend. The walkie-talkie just said that this gentleman went to meet with Elder Huo. Therefore, He Yuzhu is one of the people we can't afford to offend at today's banquet!

"What? How much money did you two stinking security guards take from that country bumpkin? You dare to openly protect him? Aren't you afraid I'll tell Young Master Huo?"

Wu Jing was taken aback. Could it be that Old Master Huo really invited this country bumpkin to the banquet? Otherwise, Young Master Huo wouldn't have personally greeted him. Young Master Huo was not someone he could compare to. Although both had young masters, the size of their families was different, so the outcome would naturally be different!
"Young Master Wu, I wouldn't dare take money even if you gave me a million lives. If you want to see Young Master Huo, we can help you. This gentleman is a distinguished guest of the Huo family, please do not harass him!" As a security guard of a wealthy family, he naturally knew some things about wealthy families. The Wu family was in dire straits, and offending He Yuzhu for such a playboy was definitely not a good idea!

"It seems that Young Master Wu can't kick me out. In that case, I'll be leaving?"

He Yuzhu sneered. Shouldn't the Wu family be seeking investment at this time? Instead, they're still flaunting their worthless sense of superiority. They deserve to decline!
"you……"

Asking him to personally visit Young Master Huo would be too much of a challenge. Even his own father had to be careful around Young Master Huo; that's the difference. What if He Yuzhu really was greeted by Young Master Huo?

He Yuzhu ignored the sucker and turned to Lou Xiao'e. At that moment, Lou Xiao'e was chatting with several wealthy ladies from Hong Kong with the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family. He Yuzhu didn't know who they were and was at a loss when Lou Zhenhua walked over!
He Yuzhang came out of Old Master Huo's study and didn't know what to do. There was no one he knew there. He was the only one with nothing to do. He felt really bad!
"Zhu Zi, have you met Old Master Huo?"

Lou Zhenhua looked at He Yuzhu with concern. After all, he had come from the other side and knew something about the situation in China. Since Elder Huo had personally received him, it was probably not a simple matter!
"It's alright, Uncle Lou. Old Master Huo got a brief understanding of the situation in Shenzhou, and someone there called to ask Old Master Huo to take care of things, so we chatted for a bit!"

I've made a fuss, so it's only right that I'm noticed. There's nothing wrong with it. The reason I revealed the phone number was to put Lou Zhenhua at ease. That guy has been worried ever since last night, seemingly afraid of the Li family's retaliation. He's getting more and more timid, not at all like Lou Bancheng!
"As long as you have a general idea, I'm just asking around. Go find Moth and have her introduce you to people. The upper class of Hong Kong's Chinese community is here; it won't hurt to get to know more people!"

Lou Zhenhua looked at He Yuzhu thoughtfully. This young man was indeed extraordinary. Someone behind him knew Old Master Huo, which showed that the person on that side was of high status!
He Yuzhu thought to himself that the things he had been up to recently might not have much impact on Hong Kong Island, but they were all new and exciting things for mainland China. It seemed that he should keep a low profile in the future, at least for the time being. Hiding for a while would not be without its benefits!
"Okay, Uncle Lou!"

"Mr. He, let me introduce you to a few people."

While He Yuzhu and Lou Zhenhua were lost in thought, Young Master Huo walked over with several people. Lou Xiao'e and the others also stopped and found their respective male companions!
"This is the Bao family, the young master Bao, the nephew of the shipping magnate. This is Mr. Wu, the son-in-law of the second young lady of the Bao family!"

He Yuzhu looked at Mr. Wu in surprise. Mr. Bao's second son-in-law was a legendary figure. His greatest achievement was helping Mr. Bao defeat Jardine Matheson and acquire Wharf Holdings, which enabled Mr. Bao to successfully transform his business. The Bao family officially became a major merchant engaged in shipping and distribution, making up for the Bao family's shortcomings!
