Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong

"Cough, I'm sorry, Sir Bailiqu! I suddenly remembered that there are still some things to deal with at home!"

"Yes, yes! I remembered it too. I still have some work problems to solve!"

Those guests had been courting Bailiqu before, and now they are all ready to retreat!

Bailiqu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Fortunately, the righteous daughter Bai Libing greeted everyone: "If you really have something to do, just go and do it first!"

"Miss Baili is still sensible! There's no need to give it away, we'll go first!"

"Miss Baili, please stay!"

"Lord Sir, we'll see you next time!"

The overcrowded study room was deserted in an instant, and a gust of wind blew through it coldly.

Seeing everyone leave, Bailiqu swayed violently and almost fell to the ground.

Chen Zhichao and Yan Xiong hurriedly stepped forward to help him and helped him sit on the chair.

Bailiqu glanced at the two of them: "Why don't you leave?"

Chen Zhichao and Yan Xiong looked at each other and said, "You know, Sir, we have nowhere to go!"

Bailiqu smiled bitterly, and Chen Zhichao brought him tea.

Bailiqu took a sip of the tea and said, "You guys are loyal to me. But don't worry, I won't give up! I have to ask the British side for an explanation, which point of my Bailiqu is inferior to that of Mai Lihao? "

Looking at the heart-piercing Bailiqu, Chen Zhichao and Yan Xiong didn't dare to say a word.

At this time, Baili Bing came back after delivering the guests, and just heard his adoptive father Bailiqu roar, and said: "The reason has been given over there, they said that adoptive father, you are too old, this year is sixty years old, and Mai Li Hao is six or seven years younger than you, and for the British side, they need someone who is in good health and young to take charge of Hong Kong Island!"

"Good health? Young and strong?" Bailiqu patted his chest and smiled bitterly, "I lost because I was too old?!"

"Father, you should understand what I mean." Bailibing and Bailiqu looked at each other and said without shyness: "Hong Kong needs stability, so it needs a strong person who can be the future governor of Hong Kong. Re-elected! Only in this way will the order not be changed, causing chaos in Hong Kong!"

Bailiqu closed his eyes: "That's why they sacrificed me? Just ask for a word of stability!"

Opening his eyes suddenly, he spit out a few words: "I'm not convinced!"

...

McLean Mansion.

In the slightly deserted garden, Shi Zhijian had already danced three dances with Mrs. Cather.

To tell the truth, Shi Zhijian's dancing skills are not good, and it can even be said that he is terrible.

If it wasn't for Nie Yongqin occasionally giving him a few pointers at home, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to learn the most basic dance steps.

But even so, Mrs. Cather is very happy. After all, Shi Zhijian is so handsome, even if he doesn't speak, he is very pleasing to the eyes. Besides, Shi Zhijian is funny and humorous. He tells some anecdotes from time to time when the two are dancing, which annoys Mrs. Cather. giggling.

Mai Lihao watched Shi Zhijian make his wife happy, and felt much more comfortable.

Originally, he was completely disappointed with this bad dance, but he didn't expect Shi Zhijian to rush over to save the scene.

The seven or eight guests around were all holding champagne glasses, looking at the scene in front of them, laughing a little lazily.

For them, it was really boring to attend this dance today, but they had to come here to pass the time.

Sometimes people can't help themselves in officialdom.

"Sir, a guest has arrived!"

"Oh, is that so? Who else will come here at this time?" Mai Lihao was very curious.

Shi Zhijian took Mrs. Cather's hand and left the dance floor, walked to Mai Lihao, and said with a smile, "I have a hunch, it's an old friend of mine!"

"Not one, but three!"

While talking, I saw Xu Sanshao, Huo Dashao, and Su Diwen coming together.

Mai Lihao looked at the three of them in amazement, and then looked at Shi Zhijian, suspecting that it was arranged by Shi Zhijian.

Shi Zhijian shrugged and reached out to take the champagne held by the waiter, "I didn't inform them, they came here themselves!"

"Yes, Sir! We are all here to celebrate Mrs. Cather's birthday with sincerity. Look, we have even prepared a birthday present!" Xu Sanshao clapped his hands, and his valet, A Xiang and others were busy getting ready. gift.

Compared with Shi Zhijian's lavish spending, it is one million at a time, but Xu Sanshao and the others are also very real, the top-quality longevity peach made of pure gold, the diamond necklace that women like most, etc., are extremely luxurious.

The Xu family in Hong Kong, the Huo family and the Bao family are also famous families in Hong Kong. Mai Lihao knew that the three of them were Shi Zhijian's friends, not to mention that under the current situation, he dared to take the risk of evil Bailiqu and come to celebrate his wife. Birthday, this made Mai Lihao grateful, and immediately warmly welcomed the three of them.

The seven or eight VIPs did not expect that in addition to them and Shi Zhijian, three more fools would come, and they all shook their heads, expressing their confusion.

Mai Lihao and his wife are talking with Su Diwen, the ghost son-in-law of the Bao family.

Here Shi Zhijian brought two glasses of wine to Xu Sanshao and Huo Dashao, and asked them, "Why are you here?"

"It's on par with you!" Xu Sanshao took the glass and said, "We are all good brothers, you go to the side, we'll go to the side!"

Huo Dashao also said: "Yes, anyway, those ghosts don't like to see our Huo family! Why should we go to curry favor with them? It's not like you, just as happy as you want!"

"Aren't you afraid of Bailiqu's revenge?"

"I'm afraid of a ghost!" Xu Sanshao said, "Is it possible that if we don't give their cats a birthday, he will destroy our Xu family?"

"Yes, you can't be so arrogant and domineering!" Huo Dashao also continued.

Shi Zhijian smiled: "Why do I feel that your words are not sincere?"

"Cough cough, Ah Jian, don't tell me even if you know it!" Xu Sanshao suddenly sneaked up to Shi Zhijian: "To be honest, are you betting on Mai Lihao for what? Is there any inside information? Hey, tell me Listen to me, I promise not to tell anyone! I'm very strict with my mouth!"

Shi Zhijian smiled: "Is that why you came?"

"Of course! How about someone else going crazy with you?" Xu Sanshao lowered his voice, "I even pulled Lao Huo and Lao Su here---if you play with us, we'll be completely doomed!"

"What do you guys have to do with me?" Shi Zhijian said clearly.

"Wow, you are so irresponsible! Scumbag!" Xu Sanshao grinds his fists, "It's a shame that Lao Huo and I trust you so much!"

Huo Dashao was in a hurry, so he hurriedly walked up to him and said, "Isn't it, Ajian, you really don't know anything? Then do you know that we are in a dangerous situation now? If you let that Bailiqu know that we ran to Come here, it will be very troublesome in the future!"

Xu Sanshao also felt guilty, "It's okay if I'm miserable! Lao Huo, I'm sorry, I was implicated by me!"

"And Lao Su, he is also stupid!" Huo Dashao reminded.

At this moment, Xu Sanshao felt like a sinner through the ages, implicated his friends.

at this time-----

There was a commotion outside.

Mai Lihao's housekeeper ran in panting, out of breath and said, "No, it's not good! Sir! It's full of people outside, and they're all running over to celebrate Madam's birthday!"

"Uh, what?" Mai Lihao, who was talking to Sudivin, was taken aback for a moment.

Xu Sanshao and others were also dumbfounded, what do you mean? A whole bunch of people came over to give gifts?

Only Shi Zhijian looked calm, as if everything was under control!

...

When Mai Lihao and his wife saw the dark crowd outside the villa, they were shocked.

In addition to these guests who came to congratulate, there are actually many media reporters!

"What's the matter?" Mai Lihao was puzzled.

Mrs. Cather was also surprised.

Husband and wife you look at me, I look at you.

"Sir Sir, congratulations to you!" One person stepped forward and said excitedly, "Today, your house is truly a double happiness!"

"Uh, what do you mean?" Mai Lihao was stunned again.

"We are all here to congratulate Mrs. Cather on a happy birthday! Also, congratulations, Sir, on your succession as the Governor of Hong Kong!"

With a bang, Mai Lihao's head exploded, wondering if he heard it wrong?

Become the Governor of Hong Kong?

The people around said in a fuss: "Sir Sir, you are outstanding~www.wuxiamtl.com~ You deserve it!"

"Only a strongman like you, Sir Jazz, can manage Hong Kong well in the future!"

Mai Lihao was dumbfounded!

Shi Zhijian walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Lord Governor of Hong Kong!"

In just a few words, Mai Lihao was awakened.

Mai Lihao woke up, understood everything, and almost cried with joy!

Mrs. Cather, who was beside him, had already started to secretly wipe her tears. The deserted place just now was in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle here, which made Mrs. Cather deeply feel the warmth and warmth of humanity.

Behind Xu Sanshao, Huo Dashao and Su Diwen were dumbfounded----

What do you mean, Mai Lihao became the governor of Hong Kong?

Shi Zhijian actually bet on the right bet? !

The three looked at Shi Zhijian in disbelief, as if they had seen a ghost!
