vs 48 Good news
Leaving Jardine's Place, the two of them went to Zhang Dadong's law firm again, and after a day's time, Zhang Dadong finally brought them good news, "...... The situation, as I said to Mr. Lu yesterday, has entered the preparatory stage - as in Mr. Lu's case, it is not very rare in Hong Kong, the only exception is your mainlander status, as long as this point is resolved, it will be a matter of minutes. ”
"After I get my temporary status card, can I leave Hong Kong and come back?"
"With my expertise, I advise you not to ...... like this"
Luli waved his hand and stopped him, "This matter cannot be changed, you can just tell me if it can be done." ”
"Yes, of course." Zhang Dadong said helplessly that as a lawyer, serving clients and seeking the best interests for clients is the first criterion - and the professional ethics of this special profession, so even if he disagrees with his decision, there is no way, "However, if you live in Hong Kong continuously for not enough, it will be difficult for you to obtain a formal residence permit." ”
"It's not a problem, and I don't take it to heart at all." Luli said: "I will live here for a month at most, and when the time comes, I will go back to China, and I will come back after half a month." The next time I come back, I will stay a little longer. Hopefully, I will be able to take down the official ID next time. ”
Zhang Dadong nodded, put his arms on the table, and looked at Lu Li up close, he was born clear and delicate, and he didn't look like a master with unique skills. God knows, Zheng Jiabin, who was beaten to death by him, is in a really tragic situation! "So, Mr. Lu, do you have any other questions?"
Lu Li pondered for a while and asked, "That's right, I want to do business in Hong Kong, well, the business in terms of catering, and more specifically, the hot pot business." But I'm not familiar with Hong Kong, so I'd like to ask for your help and provide me with some professional help. To put it simply, starting with the choice of location, can you help with this in a little bit? ”
"In other words, you want to rent a piece of land and use it as a venue for your hot pot business?"
"Yes. Is there a larger piece of vacant land near Causeway Bay? ”
"If you want to say a little larger, there is only the Magistrate's Office that is currently preparing to be built, which was originally a functional department under the Attorney General's Chambers, but after the construction of the subway, this building has become a dangerous building, and the Hong Kong British political axe intends to demolish and rebuild here, and this matter has already begun, if Mr. Lu is interested, he can get an official identity card and live here."
"Why do you always mention your ID card? Wouldn't it work without this? ”
Zhang Dadong smiled and nodded, "Yes, Mr. Lu, it can't be done without this." In addition, if you cannot live in Hong Kong for more than two consecutive years, it is impossible to obtain an identity card issued by the Immigration Department of Hong Kong. ”
Lu Li was stunned, two years in a row? When I went to the mountains and went to the countryside, I didn't go home for two years in a row, right? Why is it so ruthless here? "There's no other way?"
"It's a pity, Mr. Lu, this is a rule on the surname of Gang, and it cannot be circumvented."
Xu Yunjian patted him on the shoulder and said, "Xiaoxiao, what are you afraid of?" It's great, let's go back secretly, I don't believe that people here can still stare at us 24 hours a day? ”
Lu Li Huoran opened his eyes, "Yes, this method is good!" I don't believe that they can send people to keep an eye on me every day? Mr. Zhang, isn't it? ”
"Well, as your lawyer, I can't agree with your fraudulent behavior. So, allow me not to make an opinion. ”
"I see, then, that's it for now, let's not bother." After saying that, Lu Li and Xu Yunjian got up and said goodbye.
I went downstairs to the lawyer's building and looked at the time, it was almost five o'clock, "Let's go, let's go to the bank and go home with Miss Chen." ”
Xu Yunjian naturally nodded in agreement, and then smiled mysteriously, "Xiaoxiao, are you okay?" I didn't even pick up my sister-in-law from school at the beginning, but when I arrived in Hong Kong, I picked up Miss Chen? ”
"What nonsense are you talking about? Miss Chen has helped us, and she is also a friend, picking her up from work is just a stopby, and more importantly, talking to her for a while, so I can ask some knowledge about Hong Kong, where do you want to go? ”
"Really?"
"I'll tell you, just talk to me like this, but don't talk to Miss Chen, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't even be able to make friends." Lu Li crossed the street first, walked to the staff passage of Standard Chartered Bank, and stood idly in the shade of the sun and waited.
Xu Yunjian stood beside him and lit a cigarette, "Hey, Xiaoxiao, I think, the difficulty here is much greater than we imagined, if it doesn't work, let's go back?" ”
"I'm thinking about it, I'll wait a few days, and if by the end of the month, if there is no way to solve these things completely, we'll go back. Let's honestly do business in Tianjin, and then find you a partner to marry. ”
"Well, there's no hurry."
Lu Li smiled and looked at him with a bit of curiosity, "Why don't you say you're in a hurry?" Back then, in the merchant forest, you can be regarded as the head of our Tian (Tianjin) educated youth! How can you say that there is no hurry now? ”
"Really, our brothers have been talking nonsense to you for so many years, this kind of thing, that's what it is, it's not a big deal."
"You may think it's not a big deal, what about uncles and aunts, the old couple is still waiting to hold their grandson! Hey, she's out. ”
Chen Qiqi didn't expect these two people to wait here, and her eyes widened in surprise, "Mr. Lu, Mr. Xu?" Explain your ......"
"We just ran a little errand at a nearby law firm, and when we saw that the time was just right, we came to leave with you. It wouldn't be unwelcome, would it? ”
"How so, how so? I want to go to my aunt's house and see how you are doing. ”
Xu Yun Jianxin was straightforward, and immediately said: "How are you staying, don't you ......" The latter words were swallowed back under Lu Li's gaze, "We live very well, and one of the purposes of coming here this time is to express my gratitude to you in person." If it weren't for your help, the two of us would have slept on the road. ”
Chen Qiqi smiled innocently, "It's nothing, Mr. Lu, you are too polite." So, let's go together, shall we? ”
"Okay." The three of them walked to the bus stop, and Lu Li and Chen Qiqi stood side by side and accosted her, "...... So, Mr. Lu came to Hong Kong this time to work? ”
"My initial plan now is to get a temporary residence permit in Hong Kong first, and if this step can be successful, I will think about becoming my own boss and practicing my own business - by the way, Miss Chen, you are a Hong Kong native, can you help me think about it, if I want to start a food and beverage industry, where will there be a more suitable venue?"
"Venue? I don't understand. ”
"Simply put, it's a place where we can do business. It's better to be a little more spacious, well, the more spacious, the better. ”
Chen Qiqi tilted her head cutely and pondered for a while, "If it wasn't so spacious, there would be a place." ”
"Oh?"
"Yes, Mr. Lu, this is the first time, oh, no, the second time you have come to Hong Kong, and you are not very familiar with this place, in fact, it is in this Jardine's Street, there are many places!"
Luli was stunned, "No?" I've been around Jardine's for a long time today, and I don't have any spare space? ”
"It's not Jardine's Place, it's Jardine's Street, and Jardine's Street is parallel, every afternoon at dusk, there are a lot of food stalls held by many people, which is very lively."
Lu Li suddenly came to his senses and asked, "So, do you know where it is?" ”
"How don't you know? I'll take you and Mr. Xu to see it now, okay? Chen Qiqi raised her wrist to look at her watch and smiled, "The time is just right!" ”
Luli and the two did not wait for the minibus, and crossed the road behind her, and walked to a road parallel to the place where Jardine's was located, where they had also come, but did not come at such a time period, and there were already stalls on both sides of the road that were not very spacious, and huge stoves converted from oil drums were set up, and the coal fire in them was burning vigorously, bringing a burst of heat to the evening air.
There are three or five round tables in front of each stall, beer and drinks are placed on the ground, and there is a large ** table, on which various kinds of raw and cooked food are placed. It's hilarious, right? ”
"Here...... We don't know. ”
"Yes!" Chen Qiqi explained with a smile: "Here, it will not open until after dusk, and it will not be until after the early hours of tomorrow!" Oh, by the way, I've used it here with my friends, and you mainlanders too. ”
"Really? Know where it came from? ”
"I don't know about this, but although there are mainlanders, most of them have no identity and work here. Like you, Mr. Lu, you want to do it yourself, but there is not a single one. ”
"Understood." Lu Li walked to one of the stalls and observed carefully, the products on the table are really very rich, from tomatoes, cucumbers, potatoes, potatoes and other popular dishes to razor clams, scallops, salty, freshwater fish, and more varieties that he can't even name, "Sir, how many?" ”
"No, I'm just coming over and have a look. What is this? ”
The man didn't want him to be an old guest, so he frowned slightly, but instead of answering his question, he shouted to the back, "Aye? Aye! There are old customers! ”
A man hurriedly walked out from behind, looked at Lu Li three suspiciously, and opened his mouth to speak, but it was in Mandarin with a northeast accent, "Which pimple came from?" ”
"What about you?"
"I'm four-flat." The man named Aye smiled, "Fellow countryman see fellow countryman?" Came here stealing, too? Where are you doing? ”
"I ...... I haven't thought about it yet, so let's talk about it. ”
Ah Ye nodded, turned around and said to the stall owner: "Brother Niu, you see, this is also a fellow countryman in our mainland, if you can...... If you see, is it possible...... Give him a job too? ”
"Don't you see? You fellow, you even have a girlfriend! Do you think it's the same as you? ”
Lu Li didn't expect the other party's eyesight to be so clever, although he said some wrong things, but it was not all false, Aye was stunned, "Dude, is it?" ”
"No, this is a friend of mine, but Brother Niu is not wrong, I have no plans to do it for the time being, maybe after October, when the weather is a little cooler, I will come back, and when the time comes, I will have to ask Brother Niu and my fellow villagers to help."
"Come back, what are you going to do? Dude, you're here for the first time, right? I don't know, Brother Niu is very kind, and he takes good care of us people, and he earns it here, and he can do it in China for a year! ”
"I know, but Brother Ye, I won't hide it from you, I may do it myself later."
The Siping man named Aye immediately stopped talking, but looked Lu Li up and down with very admiring eyes, "Okay, buddy!" Do it yourself? What are you going to do? ”
"I haven't thought of it yet, so let's wait a minute." Lu Li nodded to him and Brother Niu, and took Xu Yunjian and Chen Qiqi all the way. (To be continued.) )
