C649 No One in the City Knows about the Riches
Originally, because of Zhou Zhiyi's matter, Zhou Qiyao was not in the mood to participate in this charity gala.
However, he also thought that those who attended this gala were all people who were not rich, but rather noble. If he wanted to get Zhou Zhiyi out of prison through the special regional government, he would need the help of these high-ranking officials and giants. That was why he came to attend the gala.
He also brought his son, Zhou Lipo, and his daughter-in-law, Liu Shuyi.
"Father, Sir Shao really has a lot of face. Look, many wealthy people have come to Hong Kong. Even Secretary Zeng and his brother are representing the government. "
More than 40 years old. Zhou Lipo looked around the venue and saw the big shots in the business and political circles.
He was more than forty years old, but he was still young. Liu Shuyi, who still had her charm, also said, "Father, if we can ask Sir Shao for help, the special regional government should agree to let us release Zhi Yi from the mainland. "
She was Zhou Zhiyi's mother. Ever since she was young, she had been very obedient to Zhou Zhiyi, and she felt the most heartache for her son.
The day Zhou Qiyao returned to Hong Kong and told her that Zhou Zhiyi was sentenced to death in Xiang City, she fainted on the spot.
Zhou Qiyao looked at Shao Yifu, who was being supported by a few wireless managers. He frowned and said, "Shao Yifu, that old bastard, always can't get up early without any benefits. He definitely won't help us for no reason.
Besides, we are toys. He doesn't have any projects to cooperate with us. He might not agree to it. "
"What about Director Zeng?" Liu Shuyi didn't give up. "Director Zeng is the most popular candidate in the police force. He is also a member of the police force. He should be able to talk to the local police. How about asking him for help?
Just say that our Zhiyi is a Hong Kong resident. He should be transferred back to Hong Kong. "
Zhou Lipo shook his head and sighed. " That's even more impossible. We don't have any relationship with the Zeng family, and Zhiyi's matter has already escalated. Because of this, even the central government has to re-evaluate the attitudes of foreign merchants. Zhiyi is also at the tip of this storm.
You also said that Director Zeng wants to compete for the position of director. Why would he get into trouble for himself at this critical moment? "
"Then what should we do? Are we just going to do nothing and let Zhiyi suffer in the prison on the continent?
The prison on the mainland is much darker than in Hong Kong. I heard that the prisoners inside are often tortured to death by the prison officers and the prison officers. How can we, Zhiyi, endure such suffering?" Liu Shuyi said anxiously. She looked like she was about to cry.
Zhou Lipo glared at her. "Don't cry in front of so many people, and embarrass our family!"
Zhou Zhiyi was his son, so how could he not care? But according to Zhou Qiyao, Zhou Zhiyi was too unlucky this time. A small traffic accident had caused a stir in the whole country, and no one dared to stand up for him.
Just now, he and Zhou Qiyao went to look for the wealthy and high-ranking officials who were usually close to each other. He wanted to ask them for help, but because of this domestic storm, the government's attitude towards Hong Kong merchants quietly changed. Many of the wealthy businessmen in Hong Kong who had invested in Hong Kong had suffered quite a loss.
Thus, they hated Zhou Qiyao and even the entire Zhou family. They let the father and son have a taste of the coldness and warmth of human relationships.
Zhou Qiyao let out a long breath and said sadly, "The worst plan is to wait one or two years. After this crisis is settled, we will think of a way to get Zhiyi out. "
"But, but in prison, even one day is hard, let alone one or two years?" Liu Shuyi said, "Zhiyi has a cold foundation. How can he bear the food in prison?"
"Enough!" Zhou Lipo lowered his voice and scolded his wife, "Is it useful for you to cry here? If you continue to do this, get the hell out of here and go home. Don't disgrace our Zhou family here. Do you think our family is not annoying enough? "
Hearing Zhou Lipo's scolding, Liu Shuyi immediately held back her tears and lowered her head, not daring to make a sound.
At this time, Zhou Qiyao inadvertently saw Zhou Hao who was with Su Lin and Liang Xiaobing in the distance. It was different from when he was in Xiang City. Today, Zhou Hao was dressed in a suit and shoes and looked elegant. No matter how one looked at it, he didn't look like a middle school student.
He was even more generous and proper than those young masters and brothers in the venue. At first, Zhou Qiyao thought he had seen wrongly. He rubbed his eyes and looked carefully again. Only then did he confirm that it was indeed Zhou Hao.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Zhou Lipo asked when he noticed Zhou Qiyao's unusual behavior.
"That person over there seems to be Zhou Hao. "
"Zhou Hao? Oh, is that Zhou Liren's son?" Zhou Lipo smiled. "He seems to be my nephew. Huh? Wait, why is that Zhou Hao here? Dad, are you seeing things?"
Zhou Lipo had never seen Zhou Hao before. He had never taken any of his relatives seriously. His sense of superiority made him feel that he was from a completely different world from those so-called relatives.
The guests invited to this charity banquet were all either rich or expensive. Zhou Hao was just an ordinary family in the country. Why would he appear?
Zhou Qiyao glanced at his son. "Although I am old, I do not have symptoms of dementia. "
He looked back at Zhou Hao and said to himself. "But the two women beside him, one of them seems to be a very famous singer recently, and the other one is very familiar. Yeah, I think I've seen them somewhere before. "
At this moment, Liu Shuyi spoke. "I recognize her. Her name is Su Lin. She seems to be from Hangzhou. She is the current CEO of Asia Television Limited.
She was the one who led the Asia Television Limited to beat up Wi-Fi until she was unable to fight back. Those magazines all say that she is the new generation of Hong Kong Television Queen after Sixth Aunt Fang Yihua. "
"The CEO of the Asia Television Limited?" Zhou Qiyao and Zhou Lipo both looked puzzled.
When the Asia Television Limited was purchased, the entire Hong Kong was in an uproar. Zhou Qiyao and Zhou Lipo were the same. If they were not honest men, they would not be able to avoid the common disease of rich people - lecherous men.
They had also kept some female celebrities, so they had some understanding of Hong Kong's entertainment industry. Therefore, even though they didn't have any business in the media industry, they still paid attention to some news.
The female celebrity that Zhou Lipo was keeping a mistress now had told him more than once that she wanted to transfer to the Asia Television Limited. She had also secretly looked for people from the Asia Television Limited, but they knew that her reputation was not good, so they did not agree to transfer to the Asia Television Limited.
She even asked Zhou Lipo to help her get in through the back door and let her enter the Asia Television Limited.
Later on, Zhou Lipo did look for one of the higher ups of the Asia Television Limited, but what surprised him was that the people from the Asia Television Limited who used to be respectful to wealthy people like him would agree to all of their requests.
Now, they had become strong-willed. They even said that everything in the Asia Television Limited was regulated according to the rules and regulations, and that they could no longer rely on their connections to get in through the back door.
Zhou Lipo originally thought that the person was deliberately perfunctory to him, but not long after, the Asia Television Limited sued a few managers who had betrayed the company's interests and were suspected of commercial crimes to the court and sent them to prison. Among them was that person.
Only now did Zhou Lipo know that the current boss of the Asia Television Limited was completely different from the previous boss, Lin Baihong. He was ruthless and ruthless, treating the employees below to the point of submitting to him.
"Why is the CEO of Asia Television Limited with Zhou Liren's son? Could it be that they knew each other in the past?"
Zhou Lipo asked curiously. He didn't know much about Zhou Hao. The only thing he knew was that the Zhou Hao Zhou Qiyao mentioned was Zhou Liren's son.
"It's useless to make wild guesses here. Let's go and take a look. " Zhou Qiyao narrowed his eyes and took the lead to walk over.
When they approached Zhou Hao, Zhou Qiyao and the other two happened to hear William say that Liang Xiaobing's necklace was worth twenty to thirty million dollars, and it seemed like it was given to them by Zhou Hao.
Although Zhou Qiyao was a billionaire with two billion USD, jewelry worth tens of millions of USD was not something that could be sold easily, let alone Zhou Hao, whom they had never taken seriously.
When Liu Shuyi heard William's words, she subconsciously reached out and covered the pearl necklace on her neck. This pearl necklace was a piece of jewelry from "Cartier," and it was worth three million dollars.
But this was already the best jewelry she had. Today, it was also because she was attending this charity banquet, which was full of celebrities, that she deliberately wore it.
"Granduncle, you were also invited to attend this charity banquet?"
Zhou Hao's words brought Zhou Qiyao and the other two back to their senses. They saw Su Lin, Liang Xiaobing, Jonathan, and William looking at them.
Zhou Qiyao slightly raised his head and said in a senior tone, "Yes, such a charity gala must be attended two or three times a month. I didn't want to come personally. But Sir Shao personally called, so he had to give him a reward no matter what.
What about you? When did you come to Hong Kong? Why didn't you pay us a visit? "
In fact, Shao Yifu didn't even call him personally. For a wealthy businessman like Zhou Qiyao, Shao Yifu only sent an invitation.
Zhou Qiyao was sure that Zhou Hao wouldn't really be able to talk to a wealthy person like Shao Yifu, so he deliberately exaggerated his position in Shao Yifu's eyes.
Zhou Hao smiled and said: "I just came here two days ago. I was planning to visit you two in the next two days. These two must be uncle and aunt. Hello, both of you. "
Su Lin and Liang Xiaobing saw that these three were Zhou Hao's elders and quickly greeted them with the attitude of a junior.
As a member of Hong Kong's socialite circle, Liu Shuyi knew Su Lin and Liang Xiaobing's status. Su Lin was the new generation's TV Queen. Not to mention, Liang Xiaobing also had a very high position in the eyes of those socialites who thought highly of themselves. She was completely different from other female celebrities.
Just as Zhou Qiyao was about to say something to Zhou Hao, However, someone was calling from the other side. Zhou Hao said, "Xiao Hao, the banquet is about to begin. Everyone is here. Come over quickly. "
Zhou Qiyao looked over and saw that the person who called Zhou Hao was Zeng Yingquan, whom he didn't dare to talk to before.
