After placing the trades for the Gold futures, Feng Yu returned ho with his novels. He continued to attend lessons, watch the international news and at night, he would read his novels or watch so movies. It was a satisfying lifestyle for him.
Feng Yu intend to return back to Beijing next week. These winners of the awards ceremony were already picked by the association. But Feng Yu still need to make sure nothing goes wrong for the New Year’s Gala Dinner. This year, Feng Yu’s Aiwa Pager, Lehaha’s tea beverages, and Tian Peng Pigs were the winners. At the sa ti, Bing City Pharmaceutical Enterprise’s General Manager will be getting the individual award.
“Look over my shoulder, I blow you a kiss can you handle, handle this……”
Feng Yu was at ho listening to a new album he bought when he received a call from Fu Guangwei.
“Brother Feng, what are you doing? Do you want to have dinner together later?”
“Ok. I will et you at the carpark downstairs in a while.”
“Oh, I will bring you to an interesting event after dinner. I am sure you will enjoy it.” Fu Guangwei said mysteriously.
Feng Yu raised his brows. I will be interested in your event? Could it be so bars or nightclubs? I might as well stay at ho and listen to music.
“What did you say? I did not hear clearly.”
Fu Guangwei repeated: “I said that I will be bringing to attend an event after dinner. You will enjoy it.”
“No. The question before this.”
“Before this? Want to have dinner together?”
Feng Yu imdiately replied: “I can’t. I am busy tonight. You should ask your other friends. I will just have a quick dinner at the food stalls nearby.”
Fu Guangwei: “……” You had agreed just now and why are you changing your mind?
Although Fu Guangwei had brought Feng Yu to so clubs before and Feng Yu was not interested, but this ti he was not going to bring Feng Yu to the clubs. This was a high-class gathering.
“Brother Feng. Please don’t joke with . There is a Charity Ball tonight. The ones attending are all successful young people. Brother Guangzheng had told that you like to do charity. Don’t you want to experience our Hong Kong Charity Ball?”
Huh? Charity Ball? Feng Yu was not interested in doing charity in Hong Kong. He could build a na for himself when he makes donations in China. There was no reason for him to do charity in Hong Kong. He does not have many business in Hong Kong and does not need to be known as a philanthropist.
Even back in China, Feng Yu had never branded himself as a philanthropist. This was because, in earlier years, the word ‘Charity’ was a taboo in China. The Chinese felt that charity was sothing that the capitalists used to show off to the commoners.
The governnt was also not willing to accept donations under the na of ‘Charity’ as it symbolized the governnt was incapable, and it was an insult! This continued until the end of the 80s. But the news and dia will never admit that the assistance the governnts received was charity.
This was why when Feng Yu donated to the schools and built school buildings, he calls it as sponsoring China’s education. He will never say he was doing it for charity. It will need a few more years before the Chinese accepted the term Charity.
Hong Kong’s Charity was mostly gimmicked in Feng Yu’s eyes. But he got to admit that it was quite effective. Of course, so people donated large amounts of money. But after they had donated, they will get so sort of subsidies or assistance from the governnt. So will receive help from the governnt to promote their business or services. These people would be able to earn back the money they donated in one way or other.
Also, Hong Kong had better welfare than China. But this resulted in Hong Kong have more lazy people than China. Feng Yu felt that the governnt should use the donations from the Charities to hire more policen and get rid of all the Hong Kong Triads.
Although Feng Yu was not interested in doing charities, he was interested in the ball. The last ti he attended a ball was in the forr Soviet Union Ukraine’s Kiev. Many of Hong Kong’s rich second generations will attend this charity ball. It’s not a bad idea to do so networking there.
“Do I need a partner for this charity ball?”
“Leave this to . I promise I will get a pretty girl to be your partner.”
“Fine. Pick up from my place in a while. I will get change first.”
In Feng Yu’s mind, the pretty girl whom Fu Guangwei will arrange must be so Hong Kong actress or celebrity. In his previous life, he had read articles in the papers that many Hong Kong actresses will find all ways to attend these functions. Their favorite was these types of balls.
Attending balls was more prestigious than walking the red carpet. If they were lucky, they might get hook up with so rich second generation. They would have a good life after that.
Feng Yu was wondering which actress his partner will be tonight, and in this era, who are the pretty actresses? In his previous life, his favorite actress was Chingmy Yau. She should not et her husband yet. Feng Yu did not expect to do anything with her. He only wishes to be able to dance with her, and he will be satisfied.
Feng Yu changed into his formal clothes and stood in front of the mirror…… Handso! So handso until I do not have friends!
……
During dinner, Feng Yu did not see the companion Fu Guangwei arranged for him.
“Wei Zai, where is the partner you arranged for ?” Feng Yu asked. Damn, did this idiot tricked ?
Fu Guangwei swallowed his food and took a sip of water: “Your partner needs to dress up. She should be here before we finish dinner. I promise you that she is a beauty!”
Beauty? Feng Yu hoped Fu Guangwei’s taste in won could be trusted. If Fu Guangwei arranged for soone like Kingdom Yuen King-dan, he would imdiately return ho and sleep!
“Beauty? Who? Tell who is this beauty?” Feng Yu was looking forward to knowing who this beauty was.
“I cannot disclose to you now. If I tell you who it is now, it will not be a surprise.” Fu Guangwei said mysteriously. He continued eating his steak. He was determined to keep the identity of this beauty from Feng Yu.
Surprise? I like surprises!
Never mind if you do not tell now. Anyway, I will be eting her later. Feng Yu began eating faster. Damn, why did they have to eat steak for dinner? If it’s Chinese Cuisine, they could eat more quickly.
……
“Dad, I don’t want to go. Can I accompany you at ho and watch TV?” Fu ngying was holding on to Fu Rongbing’s arm.
“You have to go even you do not want to do! Your elder brother had said that Feng Yu was looking forward to eting you there. Didn’t you say that you like Feng Yu?”
This charity call was organized by Fu Guangwei under his father’s instruction. The objective was not for charity or reputation. It was to bring Fu ngying and Feng Yu together!
Fu Rongbing said that even if Fu ngying and Feng Yu did not beco a couple, there might be other guys at the ball who might fall for Fu ngying. Anyway, those who were able to attend such functions will have so backgrounds. The worst of the n there will also be doctors or lawyers. There will not be ordinary people there.
Fu Rongbing’s greatest wish now was for his daughter to fall for a man. If that man were Feng Yu, it would be perfect.
Although the Fu Family was Hong Kong’s top family, Feng Yu’s wealth was greater than Fu Rongbing. With his daughter’s situation, he does not mind even if his daughter beca Feng Yu’s mistress.
Fu ngying wanted to cry. Others might not know, but she understood that Feng Yu does not like her. Of course, the feelings were mutual because Feng Yu was a man!
Fu ngying had used Feng Yu as an excuse to stop her father from introducing n to her. Not now, she was had shot herself in her foot. She could not find any reasons to not be Feng Yu’s partner at the ball.
Forget it. Fu ngying will have to play by the ear. This was a Charity Ball, and Feng Yu should not say anything rude. She might even be able to use Feng Yu as her shield for a while more!
Translator’s notes:
The song Feng Yu was listening at ho. This was an old Cantonese song by Andy Lau.
