Rebirth of Bloody Romance

The driver drove the car smoothly, and the atmosphere in the car was a little dull. At this time, the driver said politely, "Mr. Yu, we have arrived at the golf course."

The driving distance from Yu Guodong's home to the golf course is actually not far. It takes less than twenty minutes.

Within this short twenty-minute drive, it seems like a miniature world of luxury.

The vast golf course is like a huge green velvet carpet, sparkling with charming luster under the sunshine; the beach not far away has fine and soft sand, like golden powder spread on the earth, and the waves gently hit the shore, making pleasant sounds; and the pier stands there quietly, as if telling the story of time, and all kinds of ships are docked neatly, rising and falling slightly with the waves.

Thinking back to the time when I bought the house, the confident words of the real estate agent still seem to echo in my ears.

At that time, the real estate agent revealed a professional and mysterious look in his eyes, and said to Yu Guodong, "Sir, a real luxury house does not need commercial facilities. It only needs the city's most scarce natural resources." It was this sentence that deeply touched Yu Guodong's inner pursuit of high-quality life.

Therefore, when the Mid-Levels luxury house appeared in his sight, Yu Guodong took out a loan without hesitation to buy it.

This luxury house is located on the hillside, with a very wide view, and the beautiful scenery of the whole city is in sight. It is not just a residence, but also a symbol of status, a way to declare to the world that he is no worse than anyone else.

Yu Guodong knows very well that in this highly competitive society, he needs to let people see his strength and status in this way.

However, at this moment, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in his mind—Zhong Yuemin.

The man who always had a half-smile on his face, as if he could see into people's hearts.

Zhong Yuemin once said to him, "To be rich, you must not only have substance, but also appearance. You don't seek the best, but the most expensive."

This sentence once inspired Yu Guodong and made him more determined to pursue a luxurious life. But now, it has become a thorn in Yu Guodong's heart, and every time he thinks of it, he will feel upset.

A nameless fire suddenly ignited, and Yu Guodong punched the car window hard. With a loud "bang", the driver trembled all over with fear.

"Mr. Yu, are you okay?" the driver asked cautiously, his eyes full of concern.

"It's okay." Yu Guodong took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He blew on his fist distressedly, and the subtle movement revealed a kind of imperceptible fragility.

But then, Yu Guodong regained his usual calmness and arrogance. "Come with me out of the car, go swimming first, change clothes and wait for Mr. Luo."

This golf course is like a shining pearl, quietly embedded in the blue, sparkling and clear sea. Although its location is a bit remote, it does not affect its excellent quality at all.

It not only has first-class facilities, but also is equipped with a spacious and comfortable swimming pool, a well-equipped modern gymnasium, a professional standard golf course, a relaxing sauna room and a fully functional conference room, etc. The natural scenery around the golf course is even more beautiful, like a colorful picture scroll displayed in front of people's eyes.

The entire golf course cleverly makes use of the undulating natural terrain, perfectly integrating the unique shapes of the surrounding mountains with each teeing area, thus creating countless excellent opportunities for the wealthy to showcase their superb golfing skills.

When the local tycoons stand on the tee and look out, the endless green grass seems to be connected with the blue sky and the blue sea, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Surrounding the golf course are dense natural pine forests, which guard this peaceful land like loyal guards.

Walking in the woods, you can see rocks peeking out from everywhere, as if telling people about the vicissitudes of time. On the road leading from the golf course to the coast, there are alternating flat slopes and steep cliffs. These different terrains not only add to the fun and challenge of the golf course, but also set off against the surrounding mountains, forming a majestic and magnificent beauty.

Standing here, you can see the blue sky reflected in the turquoise water where the water meets the sky, and the vast green fields are like the emerald green skirt of the earth, swaying gently in the wind. Such a magnificent natural landscape cannot help but amaze everyone who comes here, and at the same time inspires a strong desire to conquer difficulties and meet challenges from deep in their hearts.

For those wealthy people, what they love most is to enjoy the ultimate entertainment experience brought by this golf course. Here, they can swing the club and feel the perfect combination of strength and skills; they can swim in the swimming pool to wash away their fatigue; they can also sweat in the gym to shape a healthy body.

In short, this golf course, known as the "Asian Golf Paradise", has undoubtedly become the best place for them to spend their leisure time.

After swimming a few laps in the pool, Yu Guodong gradually felt a little exhausted. He stepped on the steps of the pool and slowly walked out of the water. A drop of water dripped down the ends of his hair, making him look a little tired. He touched his slightly bulging belly and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He had indeed neglected exercise in the past few years and his figure had changed.

Seeing this, the waiter who had been waiting for a long time came forward with a clean towel in his hand, trying to help him wipe the water droplets off his body. But Yu Guodong seemed dissatisfied with the waiter's action, he grabbed the towel and wiped it himself, his action seemed a bit rude.

At this time, Yu Guodong's secretary rushed over. The secretary was dressed in a professional suit, looking capable and elegant. Although her appearance was only average, her tall figure and confident temperament added a lot of points to her. She was carefully selected by Yu Guodong. She graduated from an Ivy League university in the United States and has solid professional knowledge and excellent work ability.

"Mr. Yu, are you looking for me?" There was a hint of urgency in the secretary's voice, and it was obvious that he had something important to report.

Yu Guodong glanced at his secretary and nodded slightly. "Let's go have breakfast together. I didn't eat much this morning and I'm a little hungry now."

Upon hearing this, the secretary nodded immediately.

Yu Guodong changed into a loose sportswear and wore a sun hat, looking particularly casual. He walked into the restaurant with his secretary, found a seat by the window, and sat down, enjoying the tranquility and beauty of the morning.

After a while, the secretary's cell phone rang. She listened attentively for a few words, then turned to Yu Guodong and said, "Mr. Yu, Mr. Luo's secretary called. Mr. Luo will be here on time."

Yu Guodong nodded slightly to show that he understood. He picked up the porridge in front of him, took a sip, put down the spoon, and asked, "Has the batch of goods to the United States been shipped?"

The secretary replied immediately, "Manager Liu has already made arrangements and he will probably arrive next week. This is the speech for this afternoon. Please take a look and give your opinions if there is anything that needs to be revised." As she spoke, she handed a printed speech to Yu Guodong.

Yu Guodong took the speech and read it carefully while drinking porridge. His eyes shuttled between the lines, and he nodded from time to time to show his approval. However, when he finished reading the last line, he gently put down the manuscript, and his eyes became deep. "Xiao Chen, you have been with me for two years, but this awareness is still not enough."

After hearing this, Secretary Chen's heart tightened, and a humble expression appeared on his face. He said, "Mr. Yu, go ahead and talk. I'm listening!"

Yu Guodong sighed and said slowly, "We are businessmen, that's true. However, the more businessmen we are, the more we need to be aware. Do you know what this awareness is?"

Secretary Chen shook her head slowly, a bewildered look on her face and a hint of doubt in her eyes. She frowned slightly and asked softly, "Mr. Yu, I really don't know what you mean by enlightenment."

Yu Guodong raised his head slightly, his eyes were serious and earnest. "Political awareness! How can you do business without political awareness? Think about it, if a businessman lacks political awareness, how can he gain a foothold and develop in this complex business world? Take the speech you wrote, for example, it does not reflect the proper political awareness. You know, as businessmen, we are not only pursuing economic interests, but also should have deep feelings and responsibilities for the country and the people."

At this point, Yu Guodong paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and continued, "This speech does not show the patriotic sentiments that a businessman should have, nor does it reflect the idea that a businessman is wholeheartedly serving the people. Every decision and every action we make should be guided by the interests of the country and the needs of the people. This is what a responsible businessman should be like. Therefore, the height of this speech is too low. It does not look at our business and responsibilities from a higher level."

Secretary Chen didn't expect Yu Guodong to say such a thing. She was slightly startled, and then couldn't help but wake up. "Mr. Yu, this is Hong Kong Island. Although we are doing business in the Mainland and have close economic ties with the Mainland, we are in the special environment of Hong Kong Island after all. Moreover, we are a Hong Kong-funded enterprise. To a certain extent, we have to follow the business rules and market laws here. In this case, it seems unnecessary for us to talk about the so-called political awareness, right?"

Yu Guodong said to Secretary Chen with a firm tone, "The first thing to do in business is to talk about strategy. The foundation of strategy is based on policies and regulations. Everything is in accordance with the law and regulations. At the same time, we must also make judgments based on the economic situation of Hong Kong Island. So, who decides the situation of Hong Kong Island? Who controls the fate of Hong Kong Islanders?"

After hearing this, Secretary Chen answered without hesitation, "British."

Yu Guodong's expression froze when he heard this, and he said in a resounding voice: "Wrong, absolutely wrong! The situation in Hong Kong Island is not determined by the British, but by the mainland! Everything must obey the guidance of the central government! At present, the country is drafting the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China (hereinafter referred to as the Basic Law) in full swing. In the future, everything in Hong Kong Island will be operated in accordance with this Basic Law. Hong Kong Island will definitely return to the motherland in 1997. This is the historical trend, and no one can stop it. Whoever stands on the opposite side of the historical trend will not have a good end!"

If Secretary Chen had met Zhong Yuemin, she might have discovered that Yu Guodong's aura in his speech and behavior was strikingly similar to Zhong Yuemin's. This similarity was not only in the sonorous and powerful words, but also in the firmness and confidence that emanated from within.

However, even Yu Guodong himself did not realize that he had been subtly influenced by Zhong Yuemin during his interactions with him.

Zhong Yuemin's core values, like a clear spring, quietly and silently nourished Yu Guodong's heart, making him unconsciously identify with and practice the core socialist values.

This influence is subtle and silent, yet it invisibly shapes a person's character and thoughts.

As the old saying goes: "If you don't learn by heart, you will naturally imitate it through your words, laughter and actions."

Yu Guodong may not have deliberately learned or imitated Zhong Yuemin when interacting with him, but the firmness and confidence have quietly been integrated into his words and deeds.

Secretary Chen listened to Yu Guodong's words. Although he was a little confused, he felt that what he said was both right and wrong.

But Secretary Chen knew that in the workplace, the boss's words were usually right. This was her long-standing workplace principle. So, she respectfully asked, "Mr. Yu, how should I modify it?"

Yu Guodong smiled. "In your speech, you must firmly express that the development of Hong Kong Island must be optimistic. I am optimistic about the development prospects of Hong Kong Island. Hong Kong Island will maintain long-term prosperity and stability, this is beyond doubt. The central government's policy of 'one country, two systems', Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong, and a high degree of autonomy is unswerving. This has not changed and will not change.

"We must believe that the SAR government is capable of handling the various complex issues and situations encountered by Hong Kong Island, and that the people of Hong Kong Island have enough wisdom to cope with various challenges. This is a high degree of self-confidence and responsibility. We must firmly grasp the development opportunities in the Mainland. As long as it is conducive to the long-term prosperity and stability of Hong Kong Island and to the well-being of the people of Hong Kong Island, as long as the central government proposes something, we Hong Kong Island citizens will fully support it, and we Hong Kong businessmen will also fully support it without hesitation."

The sonorous and powerful words echoed in the air of the golf course restaurant. Yu Guodong's speech not only shocked Secretary Chen, but also moved everyone present.

Papapapa, a burst of crisp applause broke the brief silence. A tall old man suddenly appeared behind Yu Guodong, accompanied by five or six escorts. The old man had bright eyes and a warm smile on his face, and was obviously a person of noble status.

"Mr. Yu's words are indeed thought-provoking." The old man praised, his voice loud and magnetic, "No wonder you can become a rising star in the textile industry. Your insights and foresight are indeed admirable."

Yu Guodong turned around and smiled at the old man who suddenly appeared. He recognized him and knew that this was Mr. Luo, a well-known man in the industry, a senior with profound qualifications and extensive influence in the textile industry.

"Mr. Luo, long time no see." Yu Guodong greeted politely, with a hint of humility and respect in his tone. "I feel very honored to receive your appreciation."
