"Ajian, you played too much this time! What's wrong with playing, imitating others and pretending to be dead, it made Lao Huo and I almost pee with fear!" Xu Sanshao held the puppy Bobo in his arms with a look on his face.
He looked at Shi Zhijian unhappily.
"I'm sorry! Let me apologize to you first!" Shi Zhijian stood up and poured a glass of wine for Mr. Xu and handed it to him. He poured another glass for Mr. Huo and handed it over. Then he sat back on the sofa and leaned forward to face the two.
People said, "The matter was so urgent that I didn't have time to inform you two! But when I saw you two being so sincere to me, I was super touched!"
Xu Sanshao put down the puppy Bobo, and leaned lazily on the sofa, swaying the amber wine in the goblet: "Flattery again? Since you are super touched, be more sincere, rich man, wine and beautiful woman"
Get everything ready, Lao Huo and I will definitely accept everything!"
"Yes, it's rare for the Third Young Master to be allowed to go out and fool around recently! As for me, it's rare for me to get an amnesty order from my father, so I can go home later! Ajian, just make preparations. When the time comes, the rich man will book the place, okay?"
Young Master Huo encouraged while drinking fine wine.
Shi Zhijian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You are trying to kill me!"
"Don't say that, we three good brothers are all sincere!" Xu Sanshao said with a joking look on his face.
"Yes, yes, we never talk about money!" Mr. Huo laughed.
"Okay! I promise you! I'll book the venue at the Monopoly someday and let you have a lot of fun for three days! But before that, I need you to do me a favor!"
"I should have known you had no good intentions!"
"Yes, if nothing happens, summer welcomes spring, if nothing happens, it's time to welcome spring!"
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"I know that the two young men have a lot of friends. Can you introduce me to the ghost guy Mai Lihao? It would be best if we can arrange to have a meal together!" Shi Zhijian took a cigarette, held it in his mouth and lit it, "That's it.
Is it a trivial matter?"
"Mai Lihao? Why do you want to know him? He has always been engaged in clerical work. I heard that he was transferred from London not long ago. He is unfamiliar with the place here and many people don't want to see him!" Xu
After the third young master took a sip of wine, he asked Shi Zhijian with a surprised expression.
Young Master Huo also looked at Shi Zhijian with a strange expression.
Mai Lihao has also heard that the newly transferred civilian officials from London seem to be focusing on finance, but the specific work has not yet been implemented.
And because this person is relatively incorruptible, many ghost officials in Hong Kong do not want to see him. Many Chinese officials even avoid him, for fear that his future will be affected...
Seeing Mr. Xu and Mr. Huo looking at him with wide eyes, Shi Zhijian laughed and felt something moving under his feet. When he lowered his head, he saw it was the puppy Bobo.
Bobo was pulling Shi Zhijian's shoelaces with his mouth.
Ever since Shi Zhijian suggested to Mr. Xu to castrate Bobo two years ago, Bobo has lost the joy of picking up girls. He doesn't even like to chew his favorite dog bones anymore, and spends his days lazily staying at home to "take care of himself."
Year".
Occasionally, the Third Young Master would bring him out and he would be very sick. Only when he saw Shi Zhijian, his great enemy, would he become energetic. He would either bite Shi Zhijian's trouser legs or pull at Shi Zhijian's shoelaces, looking like he was seeking revenge.
Shi Zhijian kicked Bobo.
Bobo howled a few times, jumped back into Xu Sanshao's arms, and then glared at Shi Zhijian angrily.
Xu Sanshao patted its little head: "Be good, don't be so angry!" Then he looked up at Shi Zhijian and said, "You always mess with my dog! Did you have a grudge against it in your previous life?"
Shi Zhijian smiled and said: "This is fate! That's why I want to ask you two to help me and Mr. Mai Lihao to connect each other!"
"Don't avoid the topic. You haven't answered yet. Why do you want to make friends with him?" Xu Sanshao glared, "Many people know that this ghost guy is an alien and refuses to join in. He can't survive in Hong Kong! You
Do you still want to make friends with him? What about flying?"
Shi Zhijian paused for a few seconds before speaking: "The key is character! I appreciate that his character is clean and honest, and he is a good person like me, don't you think so?"
"Are you lying?" Xu Sanshao looked at Shi Zhijian while holding the wine glass, and rolled his eyes: "Ajian, what is your character? Lao Huo and I know best! If you have a very good character, the two of us will be saints!
"
"Yeah, don't you know in Hong Kong that your nickname is Jian Ren Jian? This is the greatest affirmation of your character!" Mr. Huo added with jealousy, "If you have first-rate character, I will rip off your head and smash it like a walnut!"
"
This time it was Shi Zhijian's turn to roll his eyes, looking at the two good brothers in front of him, "You guys let me down so much! I didn't expect that my personality in your eyes would be so unbearable! Okay, let me tell you the truth, I like it
This is Mai Lihao. I feel that he is a talent and will definitely be prosperous in the future, so I want to take a gamble and establish a good relationship with him first!"
Shi Zhijian did not say it clearly. In fact, he knew that this ghost man Mak Li-ho, who is hated by everyone in Hong Kong and is being shunned by others, will become the next Governor of Hong Kong next year! And he will be famous in the colonial history of Hong Kong.
I served as the governor of Hong Kong for ten years and managed Hong Kong into the "Four Asian Tigers"!
"This is not a good reason!"
"Yeah, is there anything else you're hiding from us?"
Xu Sanshao and Huo Shao looked at Shi Zhijian suspiciously, feeling that Shi Zhijian was not telling the truth.
"You are questioning my honesty! Okay, let me show my cards, and I won't hide it anymore - I am optimistic about this Mak Li-ho, he might succeed as the governor of Hong Kong next year!" Shi Zhijian opened his mouth and slowly said
He blew out a smoke ring and said calmly.
Mr. Xu held the puppy Bobo in his arms and looked at Mr. Huo with a surprised expression.
Young Master Huo also looked at him in astonishment.
Suddenly——
"Hahaha!" The two of them laughed so hard that they felt like Shi Zhijian was telling a joke - Can Mak Lihao become the governor of Hong Kong? Are you kidding!
Who doesn’t know what’s going on in Hong Kong now?
Both the political and business circles are extremely corrupt, and even the Hong Kong police, the law enforcement department, are extremely corrupt!
Under such circumstances, would an incorruptible person be allowed to serve as the governor of Hong Kong and prevent them from making a fortune?
"Hahaha, A Jian! I'm sorry, I really can't hold back my laughter!" Xu Sanshao laughed so hard that he almost stopped breathing. "You know Lei Luo. He knows the situation in Hong Kong best! Mai Lihao is a man.
He is disgusting, how could he come to power?"
"Yeah, although I'm not very interested in these things, I also know that these ghosts are very greedy, and they will never allow an honest person to control power!" Mr. Huo said with a smile.
Shi Zhijian remained silent until the two of them calmed down, then asked again: "It doesn't matter if you believe it or not! Can you help me with this?"
Xu Sanshao thought quietly for a while: "It would have been easier if my father had not passed away. Even if we don't know each other and make a phone call to meet up, the other party still has to give our Xu family some face! Now, as you can see, we
The Xu family is no longer what it used to be! Besides, I'm not familiar with him!" After saying that, he looked at his best friend Mr. Huo.
Mr. Huo scratched his chin: "I'm not familiar with him either, but my father had a chance encounter with him!" He paused and said, "I remember that ten years ago my father was engaged in shipping business and went to London, England.
I got to know him when we were young! Later, we all had dinner together, and my dad said he was a good guy!"
"In that case, let me ask your dad to help introduce you!" Shi Zhijian picked up his wine glass excitedly and said to Mr. Huo: "After the matter is completed, I will personally come to thank you!"
"Let me give it a try!" Mr. Huo picked up the wine glass and touched it with Shi Zhijian, drank the wine and said.
…
After meeting Shi Zhijian, Mr. Huo returned home and found that his father, Huo Daheng, had not gone to bed and was still correcting documents in the middle of the night.
Mr. Huo hesitated for a moment, not sure whether he should go in at this time, but the servant happened to bring ginseng tea.
Mr. Huo winked quickly, took the ginseng tea and said, "Let me do it, you go and rest."
After the servant bowed and left, Mr. Huo carefully carried the tea into Huo Daheng's study.
When Huo Daheng heard the footsteps, he held the pen in his hand without looking back: "Why, come back so early? Did you have fun tonight?"
Mr. Huo coughed twice, stepped forward and put the tea beside his father respectfully: "It's not bad! I drank a few glasses of wine with A Jian and the Third Young Master, and talked about some business matters."
Huo Daheng stopped writing, casually took the wet towel next to him, wiped his hands, then took a sip of ginseng tea and looked at Young Master Huo: "What do you want to tell me?"
Young Master Huo was a little panicked when he faced his father's sharp eyes. He scratched his head and said, "Actually, it's nothing."
Huo Daheng smiled, put down the ginseng tea in his hand, picked up the cheap Double Happiness cigarettes on the table, lit one, and said: "You are my son, is there something wrong that I wouldn't be able to tell? Normally,
You are most afraid of seeing me, but you still come here so late tonight. Isn't it because of something?"
Mr. Huo scratched his head: "Father, you are right! In fact, it was Ajian who asked me to help. He wanted to get to know that ghost guy Mai Lihao and asked me to introduce him. I don't know him. He just asked you to talk to him.
I’m quite familiar with it, so—”
"So you promised A Jian to let me help introduce you?"
Huo Shao hummed: "Father, if you find it difficult, you can refuse. I think Ajian can also understand."
Huo Daheng laughed and blew out a smoke ring.
He started working hard when he was a boy, from poverty to now he is rich! Many people like to smoke cigars and eat foreign cigarettes, but he has not changed his original intention and still likes to eat this kind of cheap Double Happiness cigarettes!
"You and A Jian are good friends. It's okay for me to introduce him! But what makes me curious is, why does A Jian want to get to know this ghost guy?" Huo Daheng showed a hint of interest, because he knew that this young man Shi Zhijian belonged to
A typical "no rabbit, no hawk" type who never does useless work. If you want to know this Mai Lihao, you must have a plan.
Even though Huo Daheng was fully prepared, he was still shocked by what his son, Mr. Huo, said next!
"Ah Jian said, this Mak Li-ho is the next Governor of Hong Kong!"
"What? Cough cough cough!"
"Father, are you okay? Father, you are choked to tears! Do you want a sip of tea? Don't smoke anymore. Mother asked you to quit! I will help you beat your back!" Mr. Huo is very filial.
Di helped Huo Daheng beat his back.
Huo Daheng crushed the cigarette he had just taken two puffs on, and he had not yet recovered from his shock.
What?
Is Mak Lehho the next Hong Kong Governor?
"Is that A Jian crazy? He can say anything!" Huo Daheng calmly scolded, "Many people know what is going on with Mai Lihao! How can someone like him get to the top?"
"That's what I said, but Ajian insists on insisting on his opinion. There is no way! He is so stubborn! Father, can you help introduce me?" Huo Shao asked cautiously, fearing that Shi Zhijian would harm himself.
"I can introduce you, but...hey, let him go! A Jian is always unpredictable in what he does!"
Huo Daheng took the tea from his son and drank it. He thought that his words might be a bit general and his son might not understand, so he raised his head and smiled and said: "Although Ajian does strange things, I find that every time It hits the point! Thinking about it afterwards, I even doubted whether he was able to figure things out! Since he said that Mak Li-ho has a chance to become the governor of Hong Kong, we will help him for the time being. Anyway, it is only good for us, nothing. harm!"
"Then I will reply to him tomorrow and let him bring you a big gift to thank you!" Mr. Huo was overjoyed and said quickly to the side.
Huo Daheng laughed: "He knows what you said. You took care of this matter for you. You don't need to thank me. Just let him thank you!"
"Huh?" Mr. Huo was startled.
Huo Daheng held the tea cup and continued: "I'm old, and the Huo family wants you to inherit it in the future! That Shi Zhijian is among the best, and his debt of gratitude is very precious, you must grasp it!"
"No need, he and I are as close as brothers..." It was rare for his father to talk so much to him. Mr. Huo listened very seriously, but he didn't take it seriously when he showed kindness to Shi Zhijian. He felt that the relationship between the two was very good, so there was no need to bother.
Huo Daheng looked at his son with twinkling eyes: "You also said that we are just as close as brothers! Many brothers in Hong Kong are still fighting for their own interests, let alone your relationship? If you don't have a clear mind, you will suffer in the future. Big loss!"
After saying that, Huo Daheng patted Mr. Huo on the shoulder, turned around and walked towards the door of the study, saying in a calm voice: "Knowledge of worldly affairs is knowledge, and understanding of human relations is knowledge! Especially those of us who are doing business, every time we do something Everything must be clarified, how to maximize the benefits! Gui Lao needs to find an agent to govern Hong Kong. No matter whether this Mak Lihao can sit on the throne of Hong Kong Governor in the future, since A Jian has said it, we will bet on it. ! If the bet wins, our Huo family’s foundation can continue to be glorious. If the bet loses, it will just start all over again!"
Huo Daheng had already walked out of the room when he said this, "Remember, you are my son, Huo Yingdong! I have never seen any big winds and waves. Even if the sky collapses, we surnamed Huo can hold on!"
Mr. Huo looked at his father's back as he walked out of the study, and felt a sense of astonishment in his heart.
Take a gamble?
Bet on that Mai Lihao?
Is Shi Zhijian crazy, or is his father insane?
No matter what Mr. Huo thinks, he doesn’t understand!
