On the way, Chen Zhichao asked cautiously: "Sir Sir, he must be very busy now, can we go there like this and disturb him?"
"How could it be? Although my adoptive father is currently in a meeting with a group of colleagues, he thinks highly of you two! I think he will be very happy that you can come today." Baili Bing walked in front and turned around slightly.
Smile as bright as a flower.
Chen Zhichao's heart skipped a beat, feeling that the other party's smile was so overwhelming that he couldn't hold it back.
Looking at Yan Xiong again, he was even more distracted.
When Chen Zhichao and Yan Xiong arrived at the study, they heard a lot of people inside, and there were endless sounds of people slapping each other.
Although Chen Zhichao and Yan Xiong are also masters in the horse racing industry, they listened carefully, but they felt that there is always a mountain higher, and they must learn humbly in the future.
When I carefully identified the other party's identity, I couldn't help but secretly gasp in surprise. Director, director, director, etc., to name a few, even their top brother in the police force, the director, was also there!
Chen Zhichao and Yan Xiong were stunned again!
What does this mean?
Maybe Lord Bailiqu is really the "True Dragon Emperor"!
Then wouldn't the two of them----
Is it going to be developed?!
…
Without comparison, there is no harm.
At the same time, the residence of John Malone, the Financial Secretary of Hong Kong, was deserted.
Today is the birthday of his wife, Mrs. Kaiser. Mai Lihao has been preparing everything since a long time ago, wanting to give his dear wife a perfect birthday party.
For Mai Lihao, his wife is his supportive wife, whether in life or career.
In particular, Mrs. Kaiser had a good temper. Often when Maliho was angry at work or encountered any difficulties, he would find comfort in his wife.
In addition, Mrs. Kaiser is also a kind-hearted person. She not only actively participates in various charity activities in Hong Kong, but also donates some of her monthly living expenses to needy children in need.
In Mrs. Kaiser's eyes, Hong Kong children are no different from British children. They are both God's children and they are all so cute.
Not only did Maliho respect and love Mrs. Kaiser very much, but also the servants in the mansion loved the kind-hearted Mrs. Kaiser.
Today is Mrs. Cather's birthday, and the servants also carefully prepared gourmet pastries, and under the leadership of Sir Malihose, they set up the small garden of their villa into a romantic ball party.
It was already approaching evening, and the lights around the dance party had been turned on. There were only a few people on the dance floor that should have been lively.
The violinist and pianist who had been invited to perform the music were all waiting boredly.
Several waiters in tuxedos secretly turned their heads and yawned, feeling extremely bored.
Maliho and his wife Katherine stood at the door of the mansion to greet the guests. Unfortunately, even if they stretched their necks, they didn't see anyone coming.
Mrs. Cather looked disappointed.
Mai Lihao felt even more sorry, "I'm sorry, dear Kaiser, I didn't expect tonight's birthday party to be so deserted."
"It doesn't matter, even if it's just the two of us, I will be very happy! Don't think too much!" Mrs. Kaiser stretched out her hand to touch Mai Lihao's cheek and comforted him.
Mai Lihao breathed out and held his wife's hand: "I just feel... I'm sorry."
Someone came over at this time.
Mai Lihao and his wife were busy getting ready, but they saw that the man looked like a servant. He stepped forward and handed over the gift and said: "I'm sorry, Sir Mai Lihao, but our family has something to do and can't come in person, so I asked me to deliver this gift!"
"Uh, this----"
Mai Lihao was a little sad, because this was not the first time this happened today. Many of the friends he had thought were pretty good to be with in the past basically did not come over in person. He just entrusted the servants around him to buy birthday gifts in advance.
Send gifts.
Mrs. Cather saw that her husband was in a bad mood, so she quickly took the gifts, expressed her gratitude to the visitor, and asked him to send a message back, saying that they were very satisfied with the gift and that the other party was interested.
"It's almost six o'clock!" Mai Lihao glanced at the still deserted outside and prepared to go back arm in arm with his wife. It seemed that no one was coming again.
You don't need to guess to know that those people must have gone to Bailiqu's house. There are many rumors outside that Bailiqu will be the next governor of Hong Kong.
Before Mai Lihao and his wife turned around and walked a few steps, they heard the sound of a car coming from behind.
"Sir Sir, a guest is here." The servant next to him said.
Bailiqu and his wife had no choice but to stop and turn around to look behind them.
A Bentley parked slowly not far away, the door opened, Chen Huimin and Dasha got out of the car first, and Shi Zhijian got out from behind last.
"Dear Shi, why are you here?" Mai Lihao was a little surprised.
Even Mrs. Kaiser looked at Shi Zhijian curiously.
Shi Zhijian and Mai Lihao are good friends, which many people know.
However, smart people know how to "avoid taboos" in this situation. Shi Zhijian has already formed a conflict with Bailiqu. If he sides with Mai Lihao again at this time, Bailiqu will undoubtedly become more disgusted with him.
"Today is Mrs. Kaiser's birthday, how could I not be there?!" Shi Zhijian stepped forward with a smile and hugged Mai Lihao, then shook hands with Mrs. Kaiser and said: "Happy birthday, Mrs. Kaiser!"
Kaiser was very happy and shook hands with Shi Zhijian.
Speaking of which, Shi Zhijian is both a Hong Kong business tycoon and a member of the Hong Kong Legislative Council. He has a special status. He can come to celebrate his birthday, which can be regarded as a big favor for him.
"Oh, by the way, I'm sorry, Mrs. Kaiser, today is your birthday, but I didn't prepare a good gift--" After Shi Zhijian finished speaking, he snapped his fingers, and Chen Huimin handed it to her with a bouquet of flowers in her hand.
Shi Zhijian.
Shi Zhijian personally presented the flowers to Mrs. Kaiser, "I bought this bouquet of flowers specially for you. I wish you a happy birthday again!"
Mrs. Kaiser was very happy, and she took the flowers with both hands and smelled them: "It really smells good! My dear Shi, you are thoughtful!"
At this moment, Mai Lihao suddenly looked at the card inserted among the flowers and said, "Hey, what is this?"
Mrs. Kaiser was startled for a moment, then reached out to pick up the card. When she saw that it didn't matter, her whole face changed.
Mai Lihao came closer, and then his expression changed drastically.
After reading the card, they looked up at Shi Zhijian in disbelief, "Dear Shi, this is -----"
"Oh, this is also my birthday gift to Mrs. Cather! I heard that Mrs. Cather has always loved children and likes to do charity, so I did a good job and suggested donating one million to the orphanage in her name! This is
Donation certificate!”
"Uh, this-----"
Maliho and Mrs. Kaiser looked at the one million donation certificate and their names on it, and were so excited that they didn't know what to say.
"Dear Shi, this is the most expensive and precious birthday gift I have ever received in my life! I like it very much, thank you!" Mrs. Kaiser said excitedly.
Mai Lihao did not expect that Shi Zhijian would be so generous and even donate 1 million to the orphanage on behalf of his wife. This is a blessing! Even Mai Lihao guessed that if such news was spread, it would have a negative impact on the reputation of himself and his wife.
Great benefit!
"There is another thing. I hope Sir Sir and Mrs. Cather will not blame me!" Shi Zhijian said, "With your permission, we made a good decision and reported this donation on Mrs. Cather's birthday to "Oriental Daily"
News about orphans! By the way, the news has come out!"
Shi Zhijian snapped his fingers again, and this time Dasha stepped forward and handed a brand new newspaper to Mai Lihao.
Maliho and his wife hurriedly looked at the newspaper and saw it read: "Sir Maliho and his wife donated one million for their birthday! Orphans in the New Territories burst into tears of gratitude!"
In addition, below this news, there is another news: "What is more valuable than the life of a human or a cat? Isn't it human behavior to follow the trend?"
It was obvious that this was a satire on Bailiqu's side. Although he didn't name him by name, his words were sharp!
"Dear Shi, you don't have to do this!" Mai Lihao said.
"It doesn't matter! Anyway, I've already hated him, so what if I hate him one more time?"
Seeing Shi Zhijian helping him so much, Mai Lihao felt moved again.
Mrs. Kaiser was also very moved and felt that her husband had found a true friend.
Shi Zhijian was invited into the Maliho Mansion. At six o'clock on time, the dance started.
Looking at the few seven or eight people on the dance floor, Shi Zhijian didn't mind at all. Instead, he took the initiative to invite Mrs. Kaiser to dance with her.
Those guests also saw Shi Zhijian. They were surprised at first, but then relieved. Everyone knew that Shi Zhijian and Mai Lihao were "best friends" and that they were "at odds" with Bailiqu. Today was Mrs. Kaiser's birthday, so it was very nice for him to come here to congratulate her.
normal.
As for these people, they were either directly subordinate to Mai Lihao and worked for him, or they had offended Bailiqu and had no choice but to seek refuge in Mai Lihao to avoid trouble.
Compared with Shi Zhijian, they are all "involuntarily"!
in dance music,
Shi Zhijian held hands with Mrs. Kaiser and danced on the dance floor!
Mai Lihao looked at his wife who was smiling happily and felt a little relieved in his heart.
Looking at Shi Zhijian again, I was even more moved by Shi Zhijian's persistence in leaving me.
"Dear Shi, what a beautiful friend!"
…
Chen Zhichao and Yan Xiong waited outside the study for a long time before Bailiqu invited them in.
When I entered the study room, I saw that it was full of big guys, and they didn't even have a place to stand.
"Sir Sir, I am not admiring you. No one in this term of Hong Kong Governor except you can take on the important responsibilities!"
"Yes, we are all acquaintances, and there is nothing to be embarrassed to say! We all look up to you, Lord Sir, and have always admired you! If you are not the governor of Hong Kong, who is qualified to be you?"
"The most important thing is that Sir, you have worked hard and made great achievements. In terms of qualifications and ability, you are better than others! You must be the governor of Hong Kong this time!"
"Hahaha! Everyone was so impressed!" Bailiqu bit his cigar and sat at the front of the table.
The people around him surrounded him like stars and stars.
"Also, I heard that the British side will issue an order soon. By then the overall situation has been decided. Let's celebrate Sir Sir!"
"That's right! Sir, the trend of the times is the trend of the times, and it is the turn of the people! When your old man becomes the governor of Hong Kong, everyone will be celebrating!"
Bailiqu smiled happily when he heard this, and his expression was full of arrogance, as if he was already the governor of Hong Kong at this moment!
Chen Zhichao and Yan Xiong stood on the outside without even a chance to flatter them, so they finally squeezed in and saw Bailiqu looking towards them.
Chen Zhichao seized the opportunity and was about to speak when he saw the ghost housekeeper running in and handing Bailiqu a newspaper.
Bailiqu glanced at it for a few times, and his expression changed from arrogance to anger: "That's unreasonable!" He threw the newspaper to the ground.
By chance, a gust of wind blew, and the newspaper happened to run to Chen Zhichao's feet.
Chen Zhichao hurriedly bent down to pick up the newspaper from the ground
Yan Xiong looked at the newspaper with him, but it was the new news published by "Oriental Daily"——
"Sir Sir John Malone and his wife donated one million for their birthday! The orphans in the New Territories burst into tears of gratitude!"
There is another article----
"Which is more valuable than a human life or a cat's life? Isn't it human behavior to follow the trend?"
Chen Zhichao immediately raised his head and said: "Sir, calm down, if you need me, I will take people to seal this newspaper now!"
Others also read the newspaper at this moment and started talking about it.
"That's nonsense!"
"This newspaper is absolutely disgusting!"
Then someone hesitated and said: "The boss behind this newspaper seems to be----Shi Zhijian!"
"Uh? Is it him?"
The scene that was noisy just now immediately fell silent, as if this name had some magical power.
Shi Zhijian has been in the limelight recently. As a member of the Legislative Council, he launched three major proposals at once, and almost all of them were passed! Especially the formation of the Flying Tigers and the abolition of Qing regulations have raised his reputation to the extreme. Do these people here want to
It’s hard to even get to know him!
Bailiqu took a panoramic view of everyone's appearance and said disdainfully: "So what if it's Shi Zhijian? If he dares to slander me like this, I will never let him go!"
As soon as Bailiqu opened his mouth, everyone remembered that this person was going to be the governor of Hong Kong! Isn't that Shi Zhijian going to hit the streets in the future?
Immediately he became angry again: "That's right! I think that Shi Zhi firmly believes that he is a liar, so we must not let him go!"
"Go to the Legislative Council to complain against him!"
"Impeach him!"
"Don't think that because Mai Lihao is backing him, we are afraid of him!"
Before everyone had finished shouting, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Baili Qu was startled for a moment, then saw his adopted daughter Baili Bing burst in and said, "Quick! Watch TV!"
"Uh, what happened?"
Everyone was slightly shocked.
At this time, someone turned on the TV in the study room -----
Bailiqu was very dissatisfied with Bailibing's sudden intrusion. He felt that he had lost his status as a lady. At this moment, he had to hold back his temper, puffed away his cigar in his mouth, and looked at the TV with everyone, only to see the TV scene.
An important news is being broadcast-----
"After the British Parliament decided, Her Majesty the Queen and the Prime Minister simultaneously issued the appointment, the next governor of Hong Kong will be held by Sir John Maliho!"
Boom!
The sky is falling!
Everyone at the scene was stunned!
Staring at the TV with eyes wide open in disbelief!
Chen Zhichao and Yan Xiong were even more suspicious that they had heard wrongly. They plucked their ears hard!
Not Bailiqu, but Mai Lihao?
Mak Lehho is the next Governor of Hong Kong?!
Look at Bailiqu again, the cigar he is biting at the moment----
