Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Regardless, the Li family is still one of the four major families, and it would be quite easy for them to completely blacklist He Yuzhu. Therefore, Lou Xiao'e did not want He Yuzhu to take any risks!

"Moth, I can simply close my entertainment company, but the Lou family is a different story. I can't drag them into this. A true man has principles, and Wu Jing's words have thoroughly enraged me!"

He Yuzhu's voice was loud. Lou Xiao'e had come with him. He didn't care about the others, but the Li family was no ordinary family, and the Lou family was not one they could afford to offend.

I was just an observer, but this stupid woman insisted on getting involved. Isn't she just asking for trouble?
"No, you are our family's savior, and besides..."

"Not to mention what?"

"I……"

"Alright, we'll talk about these things later. For now, you should just be an observer. Besides, even if you step forward, you're nothing in front of the Li family, and it won't do me any good what I'm about to do!"

"Young Master Li, are you stopping me because you support Wu Jing's remarks? This isn't a verbal dispute!"

He Yuzhu was very persistent, seemingly wanting an answer, which puzzled Li Shao.
What exactly is the source of this person's confidence? The size of the Li family is undeniable, and even the Chinese government cannot ignore it. Moreover, China currently needs a large influx of foreign investment, and the Li family is one of the families that the north is trying to win over.

However, He Yuzhu's attitude is very problematic now. It may be because he knows his identity, or it may be because he is trying to stop Wu Jing. He may have developed a dislike for the Li family or something else.
Ironically, after so much time has passed, He Yuzhu's background has been thoroughly investigated. I don't know where this guy gets his confidence to talk to me like this. Is it because of the documents he took?

"What if I support you? What if I don't? Mr. He, can you tell me?"

Ho Yu-chu's case is a death trap. If the Hong Kong government approves, it will be happy, but the Chinese in Hong Kong Island, especially the Fok family, will be disgusted, and it may even affect the mainland's attitude towards the Li family.

If he doesn't approve, the Hong Kong government will be unhappy. His father has always wanted to join the John Bull aristocracy and become John Bull's top star. If he makes inappropriate remarks, his father's plan may fall through, giving his other brothers a chance!

"No, by stopping me you are supporting Wu Jing's remarks. Now, I'm just asking you to express your thoughts in public. Do you also think Hong Kong belongs to John Bull?"
Young Master Li, is this question difficult? If you agree, then it's reasonable for you to stop me. If you don't agree, then stopping me is unreasonable. I believe most people don't like hypocrites. What do you think?

He Yuzhu was aggressive and showed no respect for Li Shao. Everyone held their breath, watching Li Shao expectantly, wondering how this tiger would respond. Compared to the onlookers, Bao Shao keenly noticed that He Yuzhu subtly shifted the topic to the roots of the Li family in Hong Kong, essentially forcing the Li family to take sides!
"Yes, I'd also like to hear what Young Master Li has to say. In my opinion, there's absolutely nothing wrong with Mr. He beating up Wu Jing. But why would Young Master Li stop him? Do you agree with Wu Jing's statements?"

As soon as He Yuzhu finished speaking, a deep and steady voice rang out. Everyone turned to look and saw that it was Young Master Huo. The situation was becoming increasingly interesting! Who in Hong Kong didn't know that the Huo family was a staunch supporter of the Northern faction? Over the years, whenever the North encountered difficulties, the Huo family had always taken the lead in helping, while the Hong Kong government had been powerless to do anything about it. Why was that?
First, of course, is the powerful Huo family, which has great prestige in the top circles of Chinese people in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong government wants to stabilize the economy of Hong Kong Island and dares not act rashly before it has absolute certainty.
Secondly, and most importantly, is China's attitude. China has specifically mentioned the Fok family at important meetings, and some Chinese leaders even visit the Fok family when they come to Hong Kong. This is the clearest signal.

As long as the Hong Kong government wants stability on Hong Kong Island and for Hong Kong Island to continue to develop, the Hong Kong government cannot ignore the attitude of China. After all, Hong Kong Island is too close to China, and China's army has the title of the world's strongest army.
Third, since World War II, the so-called British Empire has been on a downward trend and has never recovered. However, since the reform and opening up, China's strength has been changing every day, and Hong Kong's dependence on China has been increasing. With this ebb and flow, the Governor of Hong Kong had to consider these issues if he wanted to secure his position.

Therefore, the Fok family is a very special family in Hong Kong. Although they are not among the four major families, none of the four major families dare to underestimate the Fok family. This is the Fok family's status in Hong Kong, which can be described as extraordinary!
"Young Master Huo, what brings you here?"

Li Shao frowned, not expecting Huo Shao to step forward at this moment. He originally wanted to use He Yuzhu's qualifications to retort, but who knew that a Cheng Yaojin would appear at this critical juncture!
"I heard that a friend from mainland China was bullied by some people in Hong Kong. That's why my father rushed me here to take a look."
"Young Master Li, what this gentleman said is very interesting. I'd also like to know your thoughts, for example, on Wu Jing's remarks?"

Huo Shao was also wondering who could have made such a big deal out of a phone call. This was only the third time in all these years that he had seen his father take it so seriously. Could it be some important figure in China?

"I……"

Just then, Li Shao's attendant brought over a mobile phone the size of a brick. Li Shao glanced at Huo Shao and He Yuzhu, who had put him in a dilemma, and then turned and walked away!

"Boss, are we in trouble? What happened?"

"Dad, this is the situation... We can't keep the Wu family anymore. It's all because of that brainless good-for-nothing Wu Jing that I've gotten myself into an unprecedented predicament. Now even the Huo family has gotten involved. How am I supposed to respond?"

“Son, remember, we’re in Hong Kong, not Hong Kong in mainland China. We still have a lot of assets in mainland China, so you have to be careful what you say!”

"You mean support?"

"That's right, we are businessmen, not politicians. Businessmen pursue profits. John Bull's interests outweigh China's, so it's right for us to support John Bull. But, if one day China surpasses John Bull, we can also support China."
Of course, if China clashes with the United States one day, we can stand up to support the United States immediately. We have no clear boundaries; we only care about interests.

Son, this is the real reason why the Huo family is so far ahead. Remember, there are no absolute relationships in this world, only eternal interests. Send a decisive signal to the Hong Kong government and John Bull to end that farce!

The Li family head's goal is to maximize profits; in other words, he'll support whoever offers him the greatest benefit. Currently, John Bull's side seems to offer the most, so naturally, they will support John Bull! (End of Chapter)
