Chapter 1421 1421 [Across the world, cover the sky with one hand! 】
Changshou Funeral Home, on the street in front.
At this time, an old man who looked like a teacher was sitting on a small horse. Next to him was a small coffee table with tea placed on it. There was a circle of children around him.
The old man was wearing a Tang shirt and had a gentle manner. He held a local Elephant brand cigarette in his hand and blew out a puff of smoke.
The children around him are all his students. He is also one of the few Chinese private school teachers in Bangkok. The children respectfully call him Teacher Song.
Mr. Song is from Hong Kong. He was once a well-known libertine in Hong Kong. He was well-educated but did not do his job. He liked to listen to music, drink tea and watch operas.
Gradually, his family fortune was wiped out by him, and he made a living by helping others write lyrics and compose music.
The most famous lyricists in Hong Kong at that time were Nanhai Thirteenth Lang, Tang Disheng and others. This young master Song also knew himself and knew that he was just playing for fun and could not defeat these great masters, so he changed his career and became a private school.
teacher.
After becoming a teacher, he had enough to eat and drink, and was respected by others. Master Song was quite satisfied. Unexpectedly, just a few days after his good days, Hong Kong Island fell and the Japanese invaders came.
Having no choice but to send the young master off, he fled from Hong Kong to Bangkok, where he took root again and continued to work as a teacher, mainly teaching local Chinese children.
In the blink of an eye, another twenty years have passed, and Master Song has become Old Man Song. There are more and more children around him, and his teaching skills are becoming more and more sophisticated.
We have a day off today, and when we have nothing to do, Teacher Song moved the pony, drank tea, and told some stories and truths to the children to kill the boring time.
"I remember when I was in Hong Kong, we Chinese were always looked down upon by others. There were Brits, Americans, and Indians above us! We can be said to be third-class citizens!" Teacher Song exclaimed.
"At that time, when you were walking on the street, those Indian guys in green clothes who we made police officers would check your ID at any time to see if you were smuggled in. If you liked it, they would whip you with their batons.
Until you are convinced!"
"Those Indians are so disgusting!"
"Yes, the police are great, why do they beat people randomly?" the children said angrily.
Teacher Song smiled: "Why? I have asked this question many times. I can only say that we Chinese are not living up to expectations, and we have to suffer from the cowardice of those ghosts in our own territory!"
After saying that, Teacher Song sighed, "I thought leaving Hong Kong and coming to Thailand would be different, but in fact it hasn't changed much! Those ghost guys still look down on us Chinese here! They are still superior to others in Thailand! Don't say goodbye.
Yes, you can go and see how crazy and arrogant the American soldiers stationed in Thailand are! They can run rampant in Thailand and bully anyone! Including us Chinese!"
"Teacher Song, we Chinese are also very powerful in Thailand!"
"Yes, we have four major Chinese businessmen. They are all big bosses and very rich!"
"Are you rich?" Teacher Song thinks that these children should be taught some social knowledge, which will also be helpful for them to enter the society in the future.
"Remember, children! Money is not everything, and there are many things that money cannot buy! For example, did you know that the Li family is holding a funeral today?"
"I know!" the children shouted loudly.
"Then who did you see coming to the Li family to express condolences?"
"I saw a lot of Chinese businessmen coming, and they all drove luxury cars!"
"Yes, I saw some guests from Hong Kong coming, and they were very proud too!"
"Yes, yes!" said another child, "The mayor and General Bandung also came just now!"
"Wow, it's really amazing! Even the general came to express condolences!" the children said with envy.
Teacher Song heard this and sneered: "Don't just look at the surface! What's the mayor, and what about the general? Don't you know that there are US military bases all over Thailand? Any American soldier can walk sideways in Thailand! There are also Thai
All aspects of the legal system are deeply influenced by Britain and France, because a hundred years ago Britain and France established British India and French India colonies around Thailand, and Thailand was stuck in the middle as a buffer zone! This buffer zone is not easy to use. Britain and France do not
The Thais are just human beings, not to mention the Chinese from far away!”
At this point, Teacher Song flicked the ashes on the ground with his cigarette between his fingers, and then he smoked his cigarette again and said: "So you must be clear, although Thailand has never been a colony of Western countries, it has been affected more than many colonies.
Everyone must be strong! If nothing else, go to the street and see which ghost guy is not walking sideways? He talks in a condescending and arrogant way?"
The children at the scene were deeply affected.
“I didn’t expect that our Chinese status in Thailand is so low!”
"Yeah, I thought we Chinese were very rich and had a higher status than Thais!"
"I didn't expect that we would still have to succumb to those ghosts!"
Seeing the children so frustrated, Teacher Song felt that the time had come and she could use this opportunity to teach the children to be self-reliant and work hard.
But before Teacher Song could activate the intense mechanism, he saw four luxury cars coming from a distance!
Some sharp-eyed children said: "Wow, look at those luxury cars with national flags hanging on the fronts!"
"I know, I know!" said another child, "The Union Jack is British! And the Stars and Stripes is American!"
Teacher Song's eyes were dim and he couldn't see clearly. When he heard this, he sneered: "Nonsense! There is a flag on the front of the car. It is the embassy's car! Could it be that someone from the embassy of the four major countries, Britain, France, Germany and the United States?"
"We were right, those cars really had small flags hanging on the fronts!" A child stood up and pointed to the driveway ahead.
After the child finished speaking, when Teacher Song didn't speak, he turned back to look at him.
I saw Teacher Song standing there blankly. At this moment, his old eyes were dim but he could see clearly that it was indeed a luxury car with a small national flag, so he stopped smoking and said blankly: "What's going on? Really?
It’s the embassy’s car!”
Look at those luxury cars driving towards the Li family in unison!
"No way?" Teacher Song was shocked, "How can I help the family? How can I bother to send people from the embassies of the four countries to express my condolences?"
At this time, a child said innocently: "Teacher, I think you are wrong! Those ghost guys are nothing special. Look, they also come to express their condolences when the Li family has a funeral!"
"Yeah, who said we Chinese can't do it? It's these ghost guys who are attacking the streets!"
…
"The British Ambassador, the French Ambassador, the German Ambassador, and the American Ambassador—are here!"
The sound of chanting came from the gate of the funeral home.
The voice of the person singing was extremely excited compared to before!
Even more excited than him were the people in the funeral parlor hall!
"What? The ambassadors of Britain, France, Germany and the United States have arrived? How is that possible!" Everyone couldn't sit still.
Gao Wanjun jumped up and said in disbelief: "Is there any mistake? Is it a prank? The ambassadors of Britain, France, Germany and the United States seem to have nothing to do with the Li family, so why would they come to express their condolences?"
Indeed, in Thailand, whether they are the ambassadors of the United Kingdom or the other three countries, they are all figures with their nostrils pointing upward, and they are even more aloof!
Especially the American Ambassador Smith, who, relying on the fact that the United States has a military base in Thailand, walks sideways without even raising his eyebrows! To be precise, the status of the American Ambassador in Thailand is higher than that of many Thai nobles and many generals.
, even the King of Thailand has to look at the other person’s face.
"American Ambassador Smith sent a pair of wreaths and an elegiac couplet! Ambassador Smith stepped forward and saluted...one bow, two bows, three bows!"
When Smith's name was heard, there was a loud roar both inside and outside the hall. Even Li Yaozu was slightly eclipsed. Everyone present except some older people and elders with higher seniority stood up.
"It's really American Ambassador Smith?"
Li Yaozu and others stepped forward one after another, only to see four big-nosed ghost guys standing in a row, each one saluting Li Zhaotian's last photo.
But what is certain is that they do not know Li Zhaotian!
Because they are ambassadors from four countries stationed in Thailand, and Li Zhaotian is from Hong Kong, the only explanation is that they have another purpose for coming here.
Yan Xiong, who had been standing behind Shi Zhijian nonchalantly before, was now filled with eyes and couldn't help but mutter: "The ambassadors of the four countries are here?"
Shi Zhijian took a sip from his tea cup and glanced up at Yan Xiong.
Yan Xiong coughed quickly: "I'm just curious! Ahem!"
At this time, the ambassadors of the four countries, surrounded by a large group of subordinates, finished saluting according to the Chinese ceremony and then walked towards the host Li Yaozu.
Li Yaozu did not dare to neglect and hurriedly led his troops to meet them.
On behalf of the other three people, U.S. Ambassador Smith said in less fluent Chinese: "Hello, Mr. Li, I would like to express my greetings to you on behalf of my colleagues, and please express my condolences and acquiescence!"
"What the hell, the four of you were able to come, which really moved Li beyond words!" Li Yaozu said in a sincere tone. He invited the four ambassadors to find a place to sit down and poured tea and water. He was extremely enthusiastic.
To be honest, everything in front of Li Yaozu was beyond expectations. I thought that the arrival of the four major real estate tycoons in Hong Kong had already earned a lot of face for the Li family. Then the mayor of Bangkok, Wang Chai, arrived, and the Li family was already considered a highlight moment. Unexpectedly, it was Bandung that was even more prominent.
The appearance of the general made the Li family shine.
Okay, I thought that after three consecutive shots, the Li family could not be more popular, and there was nothing to look forward to later, but suddenly the ambassadors of the four countries came! This directly pushed the Li family to the top position of the Chinese family.
I would like to ask, which family in Thailand or Bangkok can receive such treatment when hosting a funeral?!
Just when Li Yaozu was extremely excited and Gao Wanjun and others were envious and jealous——
Ambassador Smith said calmly: "Actually, we came here to express our condolences mainly because we have other things to do -"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Shi Zhijian with strange eyes. Could it be that they were targeting him again?
"But I don't know what the four of you are talking about -" Li Yaozu picked up the teacup and asked.
"Oh, we mainly want to get to know Shi Zhijian, President Shi from Hong Kong Shinhwa Group!" Smith said lightly.
Li Yaozu trembled when he heard this, and half of the tea in the cup he just picked up was spilled.
And Gao Wanjun felt like a heavy hammer fell from the sky, smashing all the worldviews he had in his life.
His son Gao Chaohui was numb at this time.
Bai Changqing, Lu Rongsheng, Xie Guangyi and others all looked at Shi Zhijian collectively!
With so many big figures in politics and business coming for Shi Zhijian, is it possible that those legends are true and that Shi Zhijian is a god-like existence in Hong Kong?!
Only Li Xuexuan's beautiful eyes sparkled with joy and admiration. Although so many people came to the Li family to express their condolences today because of Shi Zhijian, it also gave the Li family enough face, not to mention that the relationship between her and Shi Zhijian was so... Li Xuexuan
Thinking of this, her pretty face turned red.
But immediately Li Xuexuan looked at Li Zhaotian's coffin, thinking, am I too inappropriate? Shi Zhijian killed my cousin, but I am still so infatuated with him?
She immediately shook her head again. It was her cousin's fault from the beginning. He should not have assassinated Shi Zhijian! In addition, it was not Shi Zhijian's fault that he fell from the building. Shi Zhijian explained that his cousin committed suicide by jumping off the building. Shi Zhijian wanted to save him.
But he was too late!
Just when Li Xuexuan was confused and others were surprised-——
U.S. Ambassador Smith had already seen Shi Zhijian sitting alone over there.
There was no way, with so many people present, there were only a few people who dared to sit still as calm as a rock in such an occasion and under such circumstances.
U.S. Ambassador Smith and the other three ambassadors winked. The four of them nodded slightly towards Li Yaozu, then stood up and walked towards Shi Zhijian.
Seeing the ambassadors from the four countries approaching, everyone else moved out of the way.
The four people's overwhelming momentum instantly filled the entire hall.
The entire funeral home was as quiet as a flat lake, no one dared to say a word.
Although there are many bigwigs gathered here, there are countless rich people, and everyone who stands up is a great big shot, the ambassadors of the four countries represent the four powerful countries of Britain, France, Germany and the United States!
How can one person dare to compete with the four countries?!
At this time, the ambassadors of the four countries, including Smith, looked at each other with eagle eyes, and it seemed at first glance that they were not ordinary people.
Finally, the four of them came to Shi Zhijian together.
"Hello, is this Shi Zhijian, Mr. Shi?" Smith asked with a smile on his face and a respectful bow.
Li Yaozu's face twitched and his expression remained calm - just now Smith just shook hands with him, but he bowed solemnly when facing Shi Zhijian. How stark was the contrast when meeting his boss?
In an instant, everyone looked at the man in white sitting alone in the hall, as if there was no one else around!
The crowd's gazes contained various emotions, including envy, jealousy, disbelief, and resentment, but none of these affected Shi Zhijian at all.
Shi Zhijian still sat firmly on the high platform, calm and composed, as if the ambassadors from the four countries were not here for him.
Only Detective Yan Xiong, who was standing behind Shi Zhijian and had been serving him, could not help but straighten his back, raise his chin, and look at the ambassadors of the four countries with a contemptuous attitude!
Pu, your mother! I never pulled you like this when I was a detective in Hong Kong!
Yan Xiong was filled with pride!
When he was a detective in Hong Kong, he still had to watch those ghost guys act in their favor, but now——
Since he followed Shi Zhijian, he has reached the sky in one step and can look at anyone with a leering look! In one word, it's cool!
As for Li Yaozu, Gao Wanjun and others, it was only now that they realized that the legends about Shi Zhijian were all true!
Everything in front of me profoundly reflects what it means to be——
