Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2908 Why didn't you go?

"The trouble is serious now. The newspapers and the media have begun to pay attention to this bill, and some people have already found out Fang Yihua. What do you think we should do now."

After inviting Derekford to his office, Stephen Jol looked worried.

If it's other things, he won't think too much, no matter what the outside says, he won't bother.

But this time is different, he and Derrickford joined forces to promote a bill, which not only made people outside feel incredible, even inside the House of Lords, many people were very surprised, and even Stephen Joll also heard that The Prime Minister began to pay attention to this matter, after all, it was related to Lin Daoqiu.

"Why don't we stop for a while, anyway, it will take some time for this bill to go from discussion to deliberation to promotion, don't be so eager to come up with it, what do you think of it after the limelight passes?"

Compared with Stephen Jol, Derrickford can be said to have taken advantage of Fang Yihua. Although it is not obvious, if someone goes to investigate, he can find some clues. If his own affairs are exposed, his title will definitely be It will not be guaranteed, and the seat of the deputy speaker cannot be retained, so Derrickford looks very nervous.

"You...you seem a little nervous?"

When Stephen Jol saw Derrickford's appearance, he felt that there was something wrong with the other party. If he had a clear conscience, he would continue to push forward. It doesn't matter what people say.

But now it seemed that something was wrong with Derrickford, which made Stephen Joel feel that there seemed to be some kind of deal between him and that woman, Fang Yihua.

"Is there? How come? You may be wrong."

Derrickford quickly shook his head. He didn't expect Stephen Joel to have seen his nervousness, but at this time he would definitely not admit it, and he was already thinking about how to refund Fang Yathua's money Go back and give it to her. After all, the money is too tricky, and now it is a topic of public concern. If he is not careful, he will be involved, and many people will be involved. This is definitely not a good thing.

What's more, there are people from other factions in the House of Lords besides them. Once he is caught by the other party, those people will definitely attack him frantically. Derrickford doesn't think he is showing his feet After that, he was able to withstand the attacks of those people.

"But if we back down now, the people in the House of Lords will definitely think that we have a problem, then they will work harder to attack us, so we must not back down now, and even go on TV to clarify that what we did was out of public interest That's all right, otherwise it will be troublesome."

Stephen Jol is still a little sober now, but it is a pity that the decisions he made when he was sober are almost the same as when he was confused. At this time, he will go on TV to clarify. If there is no good reasoning, I am afraid it will be It's full of loopholes, so it's better not to go.

But after Derrickford heard what Stephen Joel said, he also felt that what the other party said seemed to be a good idea. As long as it was clarified on TV, those people in newspapers and magazines would not continue to use this topic to attack For myself, as for the internal affairs of the House of Lords, as long as he and Stephen Jol join forces, those people can still be suppressed. After all, the Prime Minister still needs them to control the House of Lords, unless he wants to ask for trouble.

"Since this is the case, it's all up to you. I will think of ways to suppress the matter and prevent it from fermenting."

"What... what? You asked me to go to the TV station for an interview? I mean you go instead of me. If I go, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain the problem clearly. Only you can do it."

Stephen Jol looked at Derrickford with a look of shock, because the other party misunderstood what he meant, and he said that he was asking the other party to go to the TV station for an interview instead of himself.

Sure enough, when Stephen Jol said this, Derrickford also looked at each other in shock. Obviously, the two of them had the same idea, but they both wanted to let the other party be interviewed on TV, while he was Sit at home and watch.

"I definitely can't go. My tongue is not as good as yours. Otherwise, I would have been the speaker instead of you. Now this is not the time to discuss these things. Since you are the speaker, it is more appropriate for you to come forward. I will help later. You are better off, after all, we have always cooperated like this."

"What do you mean you helped me in the back? Since when have you helped me? You have been pulling my back all the time. This time I shouldn't ask you to cooperate, or else I wouldn't So many things happen."

Stephen Joll got angry when he mentioned this matter. Their cooperation in the House of Lords was not pleasant before, but there was no big incident before, so the two people usually get along well, but now Derek Ford actually wanted to push himself into the fire pit to be interviewed by the TV station. Doesn't he know what kind of people those people on the TV station are?They will definitely try their best to come up with some tricky questions for themselves to answer, especially when such controversial issues arise.

"I didn't expect you to look at me like this. I thought our cooperation all the time was very pleasant, but I didn't expect you to have such a big prejudice against me. If I had known earlier, I would not have agreed to cooperate with you Now, if that’s the case, let’s do our own thing.”

After Derrickford finished speaking, he stood up directly from the chair, then turned and walked out.

Seeing this, Stephen Jol quickly called to stop the other party.

"You wait a moment."

Derrickford looked back at Stephen Jol with a puzzled expression. He didn't understand what the other party would call him to do at this time.

"Now is not the time for the two of us to quarrel. If this matter is not resolved as soon as possible, it will be a big trouble for us. No matter whether the previous cooperation was happy or not, what we can do now is to work together to resolve this matter. It's the best way for us to get things sorted out, isn't it?"

After Stephen Jol calmed down, his tone also began to soften. If he and Derekford broke up at this time, he would have to deal with the next thing alone. This is obviously not the result Stephen Jol wants to see, so He can only take the initiative to compromise with the other party.
