The noisy Hong Kong undercurrent is surging. During this period, it is no secret that Shi Zhijian is participating in the election for Hong Kong Governor and competing with the ghost old man Mak Li-ho.
The entire Xiangjiang is torn apart, whether it is the Chinese or the ghosts, they are divided into two factions, either continuing to support Mai Lihao or supporting Shi Zhijian.
The Chinese Entrepreneurs Association helped Shi Zhijian to create momentum, and the effect was remarkable. Whether it was the opening and ending of the Shaw Brothers movie, the advertisement on the body of Lei Juekun's Kowloon bus, or the banner hanging on the Cheung Kong Industrial Building, they were all shouting for Shi Zhijian's invitation.
These days, Shi Zhijian insists on becoming the most prestigious "big star" in the history of Hong Kong. Whether it is TV, newspapers, or movies, even the stalls selling fish balls on the streets have large campaign posters of him, and the fish ball boss even

In contrast, the ghost boss Mai Lihao did not show any weakness in the campaign. Not only did he use the English-language "The Tiger" to help him publicize and build momentum in Hong Kong, but he also directly promoted himself internationally.
In terms of TV programs, he even directly logged into the prime eight o'clock slot of Lai's TV and talked about his contribution to Hong Kong in the past few years. He spoke clearly and clearly, and won the recognition of many viewers.
In addition, under the guidance of Sir Bailiqu, Mak Lihao continued to socialize and socialize with the members of the Hong Kong Parliament. They were all British and considered themselves superiors. Of course, they would not take Shi Zhijian seriously.
As for the news circulating from inside, these ghost old congressmen will all support Mai Lihao's re-election.
Not only that, but Mak's use of the English-language "The Tiger" also brought about results. The Senate in London also unanimously voted to support his re-election.
Since then, Mak Leho's approval rating has gained momentum internationally, and has remained high among Hong Kong's upper class.
Time flew by quietly, and with the general election approaching in mid-May, Mai Lihao tried his best to give a speech on TV and invite all the bigwigs to a banquet with the Hong Kong government.
On the contrary, Shi Zhijian, who was originally very high-profile, chose to "hide" at this time. Not only did he no longer participate in TV programs, he also asked his supporters to remove the advertisements on the bus body and the large posters on the building.
His approach gives the message that he lacks confidence and has decided to face failure.
There is a lot of hype about this outside, and voices that badmouth Shi Zhijian are rising one after another.
Shi Zhijian turned a deaf ear to these. On the morning of the election, he went for a morning jog as usual.
This time, we did not choose the previous route on the Peak Road, let alone the Peak of Victoria Peak. Instead, we trotted along the route of the Hong Kong Government House. Chen Tai and Sha Danxiong were led by Yan Xiong and followed him silently, about ten meters away.
This can be done without affecting him and ensuring his safety.
A ray of morning light shone on the Hong Kong Government House Avenue. Shi Zhijian, who was jogging, stopped and looked up towards the Hong Kong Government House.
The nearly century-old Hong Kong government looks a little hazy in the morning light, but its majestic outline is clearly visible.
Shi Zhijian stood quietly in the distance, looking at the silhouette, as if thinking about something.
Yan Xiong and others followed closely behind, not daring to come forward to disturb. Even Chen Tai, who usually talked the most, kept his mouth shut at this moment, for fear of making the slightest noise and disturbing Shi Zhijian.
Hong Kong has been a colony of the British for a hundred years, and it was not officially returned to the motherland until 1997. Shi Zhijian clearly remembers the day when the people returned and the whole world was attracted by the event.
But it’s only 1977, and there are still twenty years before Hong Kong’s return. Is it true that there can’t be a Chinese Governor of Hong Kong in these twenty years? At least Hong Kong, a land of Chinese people, can have a sonorous and powerful voice that truly speaks for itself.
People talk.
In the current situation, Mai Lihao has an advantage. Both Hong Kong's upper class and the British side strongly support him.
To put it bluntly, the reason why the British recommended Shi Zhijian as the candidate for the next governor of Hong Kong was mainly to save the face of US President Carter, and also to flaunt how democratic and free they were, and to flaunt the advantages of the British Empire.
If you put on a show for people to watch, they will never really support Shi Zhijian’s election success.
Shi Zhijian also knew very well that this time he was only regarded as an embellishment by the British side, an embellishment of democratic elections! In the end, Mak Lihao was their only choice. No matter how democratic they were, they would not elect a Chinese to be the governor of Hong Kong.
However, they failed to calculate one thing, that is, Shi Zhijian was not willing to be a decoration at all, but wanted to turn his back on the guest and really compete with Mai Lihao.
Whether history will change is not determined by human will! Suddenly, this sentence flashed in Shi Zhijian's mind, and his eyes became sharp.
He took a deep look at the majestic Hong Kong Government House in the distance, turned around and continued his morning run, his steps becoming more steady and powerful.
Yan Xiong behind him saw this and chased after him again.
They know that today is the day when the election results are announced. Whether history will change and whether Shi Zhijian can lead them to rewrite history depends on this moment!
…
Mai Lihao worked until two o'clock last night, slept briefly for three hours, and woke up around five o'clock.
He drank a cup of coffee and couldn't sleep again.
The maid from the Hong Kong government brought breakfast snacks, and he just ate a few bites without any appetite for the delicious breakfast.
After finishing breakfast, he immediately contacted Sir Bailiqu, and soon Sir Bailiqu drove to the Hong Kong Government House.
Bailiqu is very silent today. Today is the day when the Hong Kong Governor election is announced. More than a hundred members of the Hong Kong Parliament will collectively vote to elect the new Hong Kong Governor.
Bailiqu originally had selfish motives and wanted to gain votes for himself by contacting those congressmen. It would be best if he could take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the situation when Mai Lihao and Shi Zhijian failed to win a civil war and directly fought with each other, causing both sides to lose.
It's a pity that God's calculations are not as good as those of man.
Unexpectedly, Mai Lihao and Shi Zhijian were very "gentle". No matter how much they broke up with each other, they never engaged in assassination or anything like that. They always adhered to the spirit of "literary fighting", which made Bailiqu unable to find any clues.
Now is good, the answer will be revealed soon.
Bailiqu worked hard for so long and finally helped Mai Lihao make the wedding dress.
Bailiqu had already woken up when he received the call from Mai Lihao, and was thinking about how to take the route in the future.
From an analysis point of view, the probability of Mak Lihao being re-elected this time is as high as 70-80%. As a Chinese, Shi Zhijian is simply dreaming of becoming the governor of Hong Kong.
So it goes without saying that tonight’s result is known.
What about you? What should you do? Continue to be conciliatory with Mai Lihao? Or show your loyalty and stop playing tricks?
When Bailiqu got off the car and saw Mai Lihao, he made a decision in his heart.
"Lord Governor, what's the matter with calling me here so early?"
Mai Lihao clasped his hands behind his back and looked at the smiling Bailiqu: "Have you decided yet?"
"Uh, what?" Bailiqu thought that his mind had been read and was shocked.
