Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2922 Is he a saint?

"Sir Speaker, I don't understand what you mean. If you came to me to say these things, then I'm afraid I can't give any answer."

Derrickford was so happy in his heart, he couldn't help but want to laugh when he looked at Stephen Jol who was aggrieved, but fortunately he held back.

"I believe that you know exactly what I mean in your heart. Although you stopped the bill I promoted, it was just the beginning. I don't believe you can stop me forever. Please tell that person, I and His war has just begun, and I will definitely win the final victory."

This time Stephen Joll obviously conceded defeat. After all, without the support of Joseph Thornton, it is almost impossible to easily pass the deliberation of this bill, and Derrickford’s asking price for Joseph Thornton is difficult for himself. Matched, if you don't admit defeat at this time, it's just a waste of time.

"Then I wish Mr. Speaker to realize his wish as soon as possible. I still have a lot of things to deal with so I won't bother you. See you soon."

Derrickford smiled at the other party, then turned and left the office.

Looking at Derrickford's smile, Stephen Joll felt angry in his heart, but at this time he had no way to fight back, so he could only sulk all by himself.

…………

Lin Daoqiu’s promise was quickly fulfilled. On the third day, people from the MGM English branch went to the local council in Joseph Thornton to discuss the matter of donating the school. Derekford also settled the children’s activity center after negotiation. In this case, it can be said that this time Lin Daoqiu overwhelmed Stephen Joel so much that he couldn't lift his head.

After this incident, Stephen Joll's prestige in the House of Lords was severely suppressed by Derrickford. Now everyone seems to find that the person who is the loudest in the House of Lords is no longer their speaker, but the deputy. speaker.

"You don't know, Stephen Joel was angry at the time, and it was the first time I saw him lose his composure, hahahaha, he was like a three-year-old kid getting angry at me."

After finishing the matter, Derrickford and Lin Daoqiu drank and chatted together. After drinking a few more glasses, he seemed to be in a very good mood. After all, it was not a big deal to hit Stephen Joll hard this time. It was an easy matter, and without Lin Daoqiu's help, he might have to pay a certain price to accomplish this matter.

"Do you think he'll just let it go?"

Unlike Drickford's happiness, Lin Daoqiu looked very calm. He didn't seem to be overjoyed because he won Stephen Jol this time. On the contrary, he seemed more worried than before.

"What is there to worry about? He has absolutely no way to reverse the current decline. Although he is still the speaker, there are not enough people to support him if he wants to continue to promote the bill. So please rest assured, Mr. Lin, as long as I am still here One day in the House of Lords, that bill would never have passed."

Derrickford looked confident, but he misunderstood what Lin Daoqiu meant. If it was just the bill, Lin Daoqiu would not be too worried. After all, Xiangjiang is not the place where he makes the most money. So he didn't leave just because that was his root.

And Lin Daoqiu won't care even if Xiangjiang actually introduces a bill to restrict him, because it won't have much impact on his income at all, but he will definitely not be reconciled to Stephen Jol's failure this time Yes, he will definitely find a way to make a comeback, and the target will definitely be on himself and Derrickford.

"You don't think Stephen Joll will just let it go, don't you worry that he will make trouble for you in other places? Even let you leave the House of Lords?"

"Let me leave the House of Lords? How is it possible? Even if he wants to trouble me, it's impossible. At worst, I don't do well. If he wants to target me, it will not be so easy."

Unlike other places, it may not be easy to target a person in the House of Lords, let alone a senior deputy speaker like Derrickford, as long as he does not commit any crimes and does not reveal anything It's too big of a scandal, even Stephen Jol can't do anything about him.

On the contrary, if Derrickford wants to find fault with Stephen Jol, it will not be easy, so the two can only be in a stalemate like this, and neither can move the other.

"Don't you have any self-motivation? For example, to replace Stephen Joll and become the Speaker of the House of Lords?"

"You... what did you say? Let me replace him as the Speaker of the House of Lords, this..."

Hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Derekford was just about to take a sip of wine, but his toast stopped in mid-air, and then watched as Lin Daoqiu couldn't say a word. It seemed that Lin Daoqiu's The question was a shock to Derrickford.

"Of course, why is it impossible? This is not a hereditary position, or are you willing to live under him like this for the rest of your life? If that's the case, then pretend that I haven't asked this question, but if you have any ideas, I It might help you."

"Mr. Lin, how are you going to help me?"

Derrickford, who was still a little drunk, suddenly seemed to wake up at this time. He quickly put down the wine glass in his hand, and then looked at Lin Daoqiu with a serious face and asked him this sincere question.

"I'm not familiar with the affairs of the House of Lords, but if Stephen Joll is to leave the position of Speaker of the House of Lords, either he will be transferred or he will be removed from office. Which one do you think is the most likely?"

Hearing Lin Daoqiu's question, Derrickford began to think seriously about the possibility of getting Stephen Jol to leave the House of Lords.

But after thinking for a long time, Derrickford still shook his head. It seemed that he didn't think of any good solution.

"Unless there is a major scandal, or No. 10 Downing Street intends to let someone else take this seat, otherwise, the possibility of Stephen Joll giving up this seat can be said to be very slim."

Derrickford was very excited at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that the possibility of such a thing is almost impossible, so he calmed down immediately after he was happy for less than a minute. After all, he knew If you can't think about it later, you're just wasting your time.

"Why is it impossible? I don't believe that he is a saint. If he is, then of course there is no problem, but if he is not, then there is a problem, right?"

Lin Daoqiu looked at Derekford and smiled, and for Lin Daoqiu's smile, Derekford suddenly had a creepy feeling.
