"Dear Shi, the construction speed here is very fast. Maybe it will be completed before I leave! By then, the Wharf will become the most famous landmark building in Hong Kong!" Dai Lingzhi, the outgoing Hong Kong Governor, wore a
Wearing a hat and holding a civilized stick, he inspected the Kowloon base for the last time accompanied by Shi Zhijian and other officials.
Shi Zhijian was closest to Dai Lingzhi, and the officials behind him looked a little listless, and some even yawned rudely.
For them, Dai Lingzhi is about to step down, and the new port governor will take office in three months. They need to spend time and effort to serve the new master. As for the old master who is about to "expire" in front of them, they are not that concerned.
In fact, this is also true. Because he is about to leave his job, Dai Lingzhi has left a lot of work at hand to his subordinates and slowly emptied his power. This has also caused many people to begin to "ignore" him in private.
"This is not my fault alone." Shi Zhijian smiled and said, pointing to the workers in front who were still busy on the construction site and said: "Without them, these buildings would never be built in their lifetime. They are the meritorious officials and heroes!
certainly--"
Shi Zhijian turned to look at Dai Lingzhi: "Without your wise leadership, Lord Governor of Hong Kong, this Kowloon base would not have been built!"
"Hahaha! Dear Shi, you really know how to joke!" Dai Lingzhi was very happy that Shi Zhijian could say this.
When a person is about to leave office, the greatest satisfaction is to be able to see the achievements he has made while in office! The sense of accomplishment is the best prescription to replace power!
It was approaching noon, and it was July again. Although Dai Lingzhi was wearing a hat, sweat still appeared on his forehead. Seeing this, Shi Zhijian took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it over.
Dai Lingzhi was surprised for a moment, then took the handkerchief, then looked at the group of officials behind him, pretending not to see it one by one.
Dai Lingzhi sighed in his heart. In the past, as long as he sweated, those people would rush to hand him a handkerchief first, but now -
Really, people take tea to cool off!
The problem is, he hasn’t left yet!
"Sometimes you can't think too much in life!" Shi Zhijian spoke at the right moment, interrupting Dai Lingzhi's inner disappointment.
Dai Lingzhi didn't understand what Shi Zhijian meant, so he looked at him with a smile, and even reached out to pat Shi Zhijian on the shoulder with some emotion: "Shi, you are a beautiful friend."
Shi Zhijian smiled: "We want to be friends forever, right?"
Dai Lingzhi also laughed when he heard this, letting out the discomfort accumulated in his heart. The more he looked at Shi Zhijian, the more pleasing he became to his eyes.
"Clang clang clang!"
But it was Da Bo Lian, the cook at the construction site, who rang the gong hanging at the entrance of the kitchen and called the workers who were still working to prepare for cooking.
Today’s dinner at the construction site is cabbage stewed with meat, steamed buns, and rice. Because the Hong Kong Governor came to inspect, each worker was given an extra chicken leg and an apple!
The workers washed and joked around, took care of their personal hygiene casually, took their rice bowls to eat, and then squatted on the ground to eat.
Hong Kong Governor Dai Lingzhi personally visited the construction site kitchen and greeted the workers who were eating.
Those workers did not expect that the outgoing Governor of Hong Kong would be so close to the people, so they all held their rice bowls excitedly, not knowing whether to continue eating or to put them down.
Dabolian had never seen such a big shot in her life. She felt embarrassed holding a rice spoon in her hand, so she quickly put it down, straightened her hair, and then tidied up the kitchen.
"Lord Governor, I heard that you really want to leave?"
"Mr. Governor of Hong Kong, don't leave, okay?"
"You are a good person. You have done a lot of good things for us people!"
In everyone's mind, although Dai Lingzhi is a ghost, he is a good ghost. At least he really helped the people of Hong Kong do many things during his tenure as the Governor of Hong Kong.
Everyone knew this well, and now that they heard that he would leave office in three months, they couldn't help but feel a little reluctant and shouted out what was in their hearts.
Hong Kong Governor Dai Lingzhi originally came here just for a visit, but now he felt everyone's love for him. He couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, his eyes were a little moist, and he waved to everyone: "Thank you! Thank you in advance! Thank you for your hard work!"
Dai Lingzhi didn't know what to say for a while.
After leaving the kitchen area, Shi Zhijian was about to invite Dai Lingzhi to a nearby hotel for dinner, but Dai Lingzhi refused: "There's no need to eat! Dear Shi, I can see that you are a good friend through such a long relationship. There is something I want to do.
Remind you——"
After a pause, Dai Lingzhi said: "I'm about to leave office. You should have heard the news that the British are very optimistic about Bailiqu. Maybe you should change your attitude and make friends with him!"
"You're worried about me, aren't you?"
Dai Lingzhi smiled bitterly: "I'm about to leave office, do I still have the qualifications?" After speaking, he glanced at the officials following behind him, "Looking at their lazy appearance, if Bailiqu asks them to accompany them for investigation now, I'm afraid
They will all be in high spirits.”
Shi Zhijian took a deep look at Dai Lingzhi: "Thank you for reminding me, but I have already chosen a path!"
…
The Baili Qu family's precious golden cat will have a birthday on the birthday of Mai Lihao's wife, Mrs. Kaiser. Such novel news quickly spread throughout Hong Kong.
Smart people know what this means.
Therefore, many people began to gear up and prepare to give Bailiqu's cat a sincere "gift". As for Mrs. Kaiser, they could just deal with it casually.
Do people and cats have birthdays at the same time?
Hong Kong gossip newspapers also started gossiping about this, and those media reporters even told such a good "story" in a conversational way——
"To be honest, what does it mean when Jazz's cat celebrates his birthday?"
"What do you mean? Of course we are competing with each other!"
"Will someone actually give you a gift?"
"Have you not seen that major gold shops in Hong Kong are customizing longevity locks to protect golden cats from longevity?"
"Wow, that's exciting! This is called a cat's life, which is as big as the sky! All major gold shops are busy and busy!"
According to common sense, Bailiqu, as a Hong Kong celebrity boss, should stand up to clarify and refute these messy reports in newspapers, but he did not do so.
Since then, the death of Sir Bailiqu’s cat has immediately become the biggest gossip in Hong Kong.
The common people regard this topic as an interesting anecdote and as a meal condiment.
We met each other on the street and chatted a few words: "Hey, seriously, is that cat in Jazz's house a magical cat? It's so valuable?"
"What a fart! What you pooped out is not cat poop?"
"A side story? I heard that the pimple that was pulled out was a golden pimple. That's why Lord Sir valued it so much, and that's why he threw a big banquet to prepare it for the rest of his life!"
"Wow, it's so sharp! Grab it at this time and let it get golden bumps too!"
Compared with the nonsense of ordinary people, officials from all walks of life in Hong Kong have unanimously received the hint.
It’s Mrs. Maliho’s birthday, and it just so happens that Sir Bailiqu’s cat also has a birthday. Everyone knows how to choose!
If you want to have a high-ranking official and a generous salary in the future, then you must prepare rich gifts!
Let me ask, if Sir Bailiqu ascends to the throne, who can compete with him?!
…
Xu Sanshao is the kind of person who is hard to dislike. If he can squat at the door of the kitchen in a suit and help Shi Yufeng and Papaya choose vegetables without any airs, you can see how free and easy this guy is.
Shi Zhijian had known Xu Sanshao for a long time and knew his free and uninhibited personality, so he sat aside and ate a banana with his legs crossed.
Next to me, the servants of the Shi family looked at me and I saw that you were a little at a loss.
The master just chooses the dishes, and he lets such a distinguished guest choose the dishes. They, who are supposed to be doing things, are standing here with nothing to do. It is embarrassing.
No way, who gave Shi Yufeng such a special hobby, especially after becoming the "Queen of Vegetables", she has a "special liking" for choosing vegetables, and her hands will get itchy if she doesn't choose for a day.
Papaya is naive and silly, but if she knows what Sister Yufeng does, she will follow her and she will never go wrong.
Xu Sanshao was simply scared and wanted to try the experience of choosing dishes.
"Hey, Ah Jian, are you really not going to fawn over that ghost guy Bailiqu? Maybe he will be the next Governor of Hong Kong!" Mr. Xu threw a handful of celery on the ground, clapped his hands, and after finishing his pleasure, he chose not to
Got it!
The maid next to me hurriedly came forward and handed over a wet towel.
Xu Sanshao borrowed a wet towel to wipe his hands, then went back and took out a cigarette from his pocket and just bit the corner of his mouth when Shi Yufeng, who was choosing vegetables, turned back and glared at him, "No smoking here!"
Xu Sanshao spread his hands: "I know you ban smoking, but isn't it just A Jian? I'm not him!"
Shi Zhijian gave him a half-eaten banana: "Eat banana! Block your mouth!"
Xu Sanshao shrugged, put the cigarette back helplessly, and waved his hand: "Let me eat what you have bitten? Just kill me!"
He immediately sat down with Shi Zhijian, picked up a banana, peeled it, crossed his legs and ate it happily, saying: "To be honest, I gave that ghost's cat a big gift behind your back.
!Don’t look at me like that, my father taught me before he died, never put your eggs in one basket!”
"Why, are you leaving me here because you're afraid of getting into trouble with me?"
"That's not true! It's just that it's safer! Why don't you bow your head and admit your mistake for the time being and give me a big gift? Otherwise, when that ghost guy Bailiqu comes to power, he might have to wear some shoes for you!"
"I know it well!" Shi Zhijian bit off the remaining banana and threw the peel into the trash can at his feet.
Xu Sanshao stuffed bananas in his mouth and muttered: "How many heads do you have! Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking, and you want to save face and suffer! Old Huo also said that the Huo family is also planning to give gifts to Bailiqu, you know
Don’t feel uncomfortable!”
Shi Zhijian was slightly startled. Mr. Huo was a very stubborn person. He didn't expect that he would also be optimistic about Baili Qu this time.
Xu Sanshao stared at Shi Zhijian, hoping to see something strange on his face, but unfortunately there was nothing.
Xu Sanshao breathed out an unhappy breath, leaned his back towards the back of the chair, chose a comfortable sitting position, and returned to his lazy look, unable to seem to be energetic about anything, biting a banana and said
: “I’m not here today to persuade you, I just feel that things are about to change in Hong Kong!
You know, in addition to our Xu family and Huo family, there are many famous families who are very optimistic about this ghost guy Bailiqu, including the Shi Huaiya family and the Kadoorie family. You also know that they are all ghost guys, and the news is the best.
Well-informed, now it is simply a living weather vane! Ah Jian, since you are a member of the Legislative Council, you must think about your own future and never act out of emotion!"
"It seems that everyone has the same vision this time! No one thinks highly of Sir Maliho." Shi Zhijian said calmly.
This sentence made Xu Sanshao stunned for a moment. He hurriedly swallowed the banana in his mouth and raised his head to look at Shi Zhijian. Shi Zhijian happened to lower his head to drink tea at this time to avoid eye contact with him. Xu Sanshao vaguely felt that Shi Zhijian
There is some special meaning in this sentence, but I can't grasp the clue.
Just when the atmosphere was delicate, a heartbreaking voice came out: "Boss, I'm back!"
Shi Zhijian was startled. When he looked up, he almost spit out a mouthful of tea!
He saw Hu Juncai appearing in front of him like a ghost, carrying a big suitcase, his face made as if he wanted to cry, but he couldn't even cry because he was blushing!
Behind Hu Juncai was a coquettishly dressed woman with big waves and a floral skirt. She was currently posing in front of the male servants of the Shi family!
"Ahem, what are you—" Shi Zhijian stood up and pointed at Hu Juncai.
Xu Sanshao and others also stared at the sudden appearance of Attorney Hu. They remembered well that he should be staying in South Korea. Everyone had almost forgotten about him. Why did he suddenly appear?!
Hu Juncai tried hard to squeeze out a few tears to express his longing for Shi Zhijian, but the tears just refused to come out!
There was no other way, so Hu Juncai had no choice but to wipe the corners of his eyes hard with the back of his hand, making them red, and then said with a cry: "I am Juncai, boss! You must have forgotten me, right? I knew it,
You put me in South Korea and left me alone. If I never come back, I’m afraid you won’t even know my name!”
"Ahem, how could that happen?" Shi Zhijian told a lie. To be honest, during this period of time, he really forgot about this rush.
"Really? I'm so touched!" Hu Juncai could no longer bear it and threw himself into Shi Zhijian's arms, bursting into tears.
Shi Zhijian was stunned. He didn't expect Hu Juncai to be such an emotional person!
Hu Juncai rubbed his scalp vigorously in Shi Zhijian's arms. The tears and runny nose still couldn't come out, and he felt aggrieved! Why did he burst into tears during those meeting scenes in the movie?
Shi Zhijian was very embarrassed by Hu Juncai's massive "throwing himself into his arms". He pushed him away from his arms, pointed at the beauty and asked: "By the way, this person behind you is——"
"Oh, she is my female secretary, she is Korean, I gave her a foreign name called Marilyn!"
"Oh, Marilyn!" Shi Zhijian nodded, and then said to Marilyn: "Welcome to Hong Kong, Miss Marilyn!"
Marilyn was looking curiously at the Shi family just now. She was highly myopic, but she didn't like to wear glasses. She always squinted her eyes when looking at everything, as if she was giving off electricity to everyone. Just now, the Shi family's male servants were all thinking about it.
