Rebirth: Outstanding

"Dr. Luo Bao, good evening, thank you for your invitation." Song Tianyao took the initiative to extend his hand to Luo Bao and greeted him humbly.

Luo Bao and Song Tianyao held hands together, looked up and down Song Tianyao with some gray-blue eyes, and said proficiently in Chinese: "Mr. Song is very young, and the offspring is terrifying."

"In front of Dr. Luo Bao, I dare not be called Mr. Song. If Dr. Luo Bao doesn't think I am abrupt and rude, he can call me A Yao. Many elders call me like that." Song Tianyao said with a smile to Luo Bao.

Luo Bao invited Song Tianyao to dinner. He did not arrange other guests, and did not set up a big banquet. Instead, he set up the hospitality place in the back garden. It was midsummer. The garden was full of green grass, green leaves and mellow. A piece of living water was drawn through the garden. Next to the water were two weeping willows delicately trimmed by the gardener. There was a dining table and two seats. Just looking at this arrangement made Song Tianyao feel a bit of heat. .

Luo Bao dressed casually, ordinary shirts and trousers, shirt without tie, loose buttons, ruddy face, loud voice, he was very satisfied that Song Tianyao called him Dr. Luo Bao instead of Director Luo Bao or Mr. Luo Bao .

Luo Bao holds an honorary doctorate from the University of Lisbon in Portugal, which is a recognition and recognition of Luo Bao's outstanding contributions to the social and economic fields of Macau.

The two sat before and after the dining table, Luo Bao folded the napkin on his lap, and said to Song Tianyao who was opposite:

"The Oxfam Hong Kong, I heard them talk about it, is a new charity organization in Hong Kong? How is it developing?"

"Prosperous and working hard to grow." Song Tianyao adjusted his seat and said to Luo Bao: "Of course, compared to the charitable contributions made by Dr. Luo Bao and Mr. He Xian in Macau, the achievements of Oxfam Hong Kong today are completely worthless. Mention it."

The chef in the chef's outfit next to him and the waiter wearing snow white gloves began to serve the two of them. The cold dishes were plump oysters and smoked fish drenched in lemon juice. The waiter poured a glass of champagne for the two of them. Song Tianyao raised the glass and faced him. The opposite Luo Bao said politely: "Thank you for your hospitality."

"You're welcome." Luo Bao took a sip of champagne, forkped a piece of fish and sent it to his mouth, but kept his eyes on Song Tianyao. After the food was swallowed, he said:

"Today, I heard that Ayao, you are doing charity and encountered a very serious accident when sending rice to the residents of Qingzhou District."

"A staff member of the Macau Chamber of Commerce who helped to deliver rice was shot dead." Song Tianyao said to Luo Bao.

Luo Bao nodded slightly, and continued to ask in a relaxed tone: "I also heard that Ah Yao and the Lin family in Hong Kong seem to have some small conflicts?"

Before the main course is served, Luo Bao will go straight to the subject? Song Tianyao was a little curious and seemed a little too excited about the whole thing.

Song Tianyao put down the tableware in his hand, wiped the corner of his mouth and said to Luo Bao: "There are indeed some contradictions, and they are more complicated and multiple contradictions."

"You should also be aware of the conflict between me and the Lin family many years ago?" Luo Bao lowered his voice, as if a little embarrassed.

He was at most a few years older than Song Tianyao, who was opposite at this time. He was just as full of ambitions as the young man in front of him. He felt that the whole city could be controlled by himself. Then, everything was done by Lin Xizhen, the opium dealer. To ruin.

He is now very old, he can confess all his sins and show tolerance to those who have hurt him, except for the Lin family, who not only hurt him, but also changed his subsequent life. If Lin Xizhen hadn't ruined his reputation, He shouldn't be the head of the Macao Economic Affairs Bureau at his age. Luo Bao firmly believes in this.

Song Tianyao said softly: "I've heard of it."

"Although Brother Xian didn't tell me about you, I know that if there is no sluice gate incident, he will introduce you to me, right?" Luo Bao took a sip from his glass and continued: " There is no need to deny or admit, I know that in this case, Brother Xian is indeed inconvenient to introduce you to me, but after I knew you, I became interested, especially after I heard that you went to Qingzhou District to send rice. You are certainly not just pitying the poor."

"I thought I could catch a big fish with my own bait, but the Lin family was faster than I thought. Dr. Luo Bao, you already know that Lin Xiyuan and Lin Xishen have died in a vendetta recognized by the police." Song Tianyao pursed his lips. , Smiled bitterly: "In the end I found nothing."

"No, no, no, don’t rush to deny yourself, you caught my big fish, I don’t know if you have ever thought about going to Qingzhou to send rice and tactics to attract the other party to attract my attention, but you do When it’s there, otherwise you won’t be sitting with me for dinner tonight." Luo Bao looked at Song Tianyao with a calm expression: "Tell me about your plan, Ah Yao, and see what I can do for young people like you. ?"

Song Tianyao hesitated for a moment, glanced at Huang Liu in the distance, then turned his gaze back to Luo Bao, who seemed to be too cheerful in front of him: "Dr. Luo Bao, with all due respect, what do you want?"

"It's my attitude that makes you suspicious?" Luo Bao laughed: "It's okay, it's normal. Many people in Macau react the same as you when they get my help. They feel like you are how easy it is for people like me. Being told? You ask me what I want?"

Luo Bao drank the champagne in his glass and looked at Song Tianyao. His wrinkled face was sharp and sharp in the setting sun, as cold as a rock:

"I don't like the Lin family. I want to find a young man to take care of the Lin family just like Lin Xizhen cared for the young me."

"It's not just you, Dr. Luo Bao, what about the others?" Song Tianyao was very calm before receiving Luo Bao's nod, but now that the white-haired old man really agreed to help him, Song Tianyao felt a little nervous.

It looks like he is in a row, but in fact Song Tianyao is equivalent to Luo Bao's knife to the Lin family, and the knife has no right to decide.

Luo Bao let out a sigh of relief slowly: "Hejia?"

"There is also the Lu family married to the He family." Song Tianyao added.

The chef served the main course, a veal steak drenched in a layer of sauce. Luo Bao cut a piece of beef and put it in his mouth: "Why don't you talk about what you want?"

"I want the barren mountain of Etou Mountain. This is the most basic." Song Tianyao said calmly to Luo Bao.

Luo Bao seemed very satisfied with the taste of beef. He nodded lightly at the steak, then raised his head and smiled at Song Tianyao: "Ayao, you are a young man. I am very fond of young people, but sometimes young people tend to make small mistakes. For example, considering the problem is still not comprehensive enough, in fact, you should first consider what we will need? I don’t need anything, I just want to see the ending of the Lin family. As for the He family, you should notice that the He family has not expanded over the years. Development, the influence in Hong Kong has gradually declined. It is because the He family is not optimistic about the future of Hong Kong. He family now owns several major newspapers, and even co-founded the Macau radio station with me. It is like a microphone for the British. Interest, if there is a war in Hong Kong, the land can’t be moved to London. As for the Lu’s family, they don’t need money. What they need is fame. Regardless of whether Hong Kong will be governed by the British or the Chinese in the future, it will have extremely high public fame. Can guarantee the status of the Lu family, so now you understand? If they are willing to help, what do they need?"

"The He family needs money, the Lu family needs prestige, and Dr. Luo Bao you need results." Song Tianyao lowered his head and took out a cigarette and lit a cigarette. After a minute or two, he raised his head and said to Luo Bao affirmatively: "Very Difficult, but I can do it."

Luo Baoha laughed, and poured another glass of champagne, and signaled to Song Tianyao: "Young people who can do charity without fear of bullets, of course I believe that this kind of thing can't help you, boy, it's nice to be young, you know. Back then, the Australian Governor and his wife served me with exactly the same food as tonight. It tasted delicious, right? But for 20 years, I can’t find the delicious taste of that dinner again. Do you know why?”

Song Tianyao cut a piece of veal and put it in his mouth: "Because you have failed the other party's trust."

Luo Bao nodded seriously: "I think if you fail my trust tonight, you might end up worse than I did back then."

Song Tianyao ate the food, held the knife and fork and looked at Luo Bao, and said calmly: "The Lin family was no different from today, and still made the same mistakes. There is a saying in China, "Slowly hide the thief, Ye Rong" Obscene, that is, people like the Lin family, they didn't realize their mistakes, how could I lose."
