I wish your GPA were a bit higher but your experience and GMAT score are good. Depending on how unique your finance role has become, you may need to boost the GMAT a bit for Booth and Sloan. I definitely believe it's worth applying, but if you have time before that, it can't hurt to retake the GMAT to see if you can lift the score by 20 points or more.

Assuming no major changes in the MBA market in the next 2-3 years, you would be competitive at HKUST, CEIBS, Oxford, and Cambridge. MIT Sloan, Booth and Stern would be stretches.

Is my verbal score(35, 74 percentile) enough for the mba in oxford, cambridge. I heard that some mba in UK/US prefer a verbal score with at least 80 percentile.

Moreover, does my AWA score (4) hurt a lot? do I need to retake gmat again??

You would have a better chance at acceptance at the U.S. schools than the ones you listed initially, but it is really tough to say what's going to be in three years.
