Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 736 Rejection
Before Lin Daoqiu went to the banquet, he called Wu Chou first.

"I'm asking you about someone, Liao Xiangxiong. It is said that he is the Director of the Film Division of the Baodao News Bureau."

What Hu Jinquan said on the phone was not very clear, and Lin Daoqiu followed Hu Jinquan's words to ask Wu Chou.

If it weren't for the fact that Wu Chou had been in the film industry for the past two years, she might not have known about Liao Xiangxiong.

"Liao Xiangxiong used to be the director of Baodao Film Studio, and now he is the director of the Film Division of the Information Bureau. How did Mr. Lin think of asking about this person?"

Liao Xiangxiong couldn't understand why Lin Daoqiu suddenly asked him about Liao Xiangxiong.

"He just arrived in Xiangjiang and said he wanted to see me."

Lin Daoqiu did not hide it from Wu Chou, after all, this is not a very confidential matter.

When Wu Chou heard this, a puzzled expression appeared on her face.

"What does Mr. Lin want me to do?"

Wu Chou thought that Lin Daoqiu called him because he wanted him to investigate Liao Xiangxiong.

"Nothing, I'm just asking."

Wu Chou did not provide any useful information, after all, the time was too short.

Moreover, he has no friendship with Liao Xiangxiong. If Lin Daoqiu wants to investigate, he can help.

But Lin Daoqiu didn't mean that, he just wanted to find out the identity of Liao Xiangxiong. Since Wu Chou didn't have any special hints on the phone, it meant that this person should be just an ordinary director, and there were no big figures around him. behind.

In the evening, Hu Jinquan and Liao Xiangxiong stood in front of the Fortune Restaurant and waited for Lin Daoqiu's arrival.

Compared with Hu Jinquan, Liao Xiangxiong has high expectations for this meeting.

After chatting with Hu Jinquan at the door for a while, Liao Xiangxiong saw that Lin Daoqiu's Rolls-Royce had slowly stopped by the side of the road.

As soon as Lin Daoqiu got out of the car, Hu Jinquan and Liao Xiangxiong stepped forward quickly.

"Mr. Lin, this is Director Liao Xiangxiong."

Hu Jinquan had already met Lin Daoqiu, so he directly introduced Liao Xiangxiong who was beside him to Lin Daoqiu.

"My lord, Liao Xiangxiong, nice to meet you."

"Director Liao is polite, please come inside."

Hearing the other party call his official position, Liao Xiangxiong seemed to react a bit unnaturally.

After all, this is not Treasure Island. Lin Daoqiu should call himself Mr. Liao, but he insisted on calling him his official position. It seems that his resentment is not small.

In fact, Liao Xiangxiong's thoughts were a bit superfluous. Lin Daoqiu's resentment towards Baodao was indeed not small, but it was not enough to put on airs to people who came to Baodao whenever he saw them.

Because he still doesn't know why Liao Xiangxiong suddenly came to see him from Baodao.

In order to be cautious, it is better to keep a little distance from the other party.

After entering the box, Hu Jinquan and Liao Xiangxiong invited Lin Daoqiu to the main seat, and they sat around Lin Daoqiu.

"The seafood here tastes good. The chefs are all chefs with decades of cooking experience, and some of the seafood is airlifted from abroad. You two can taste more later."

Lin Daoqiu brought up the topic of eating, but Hu Jinquan and Liao Xiangxiong nodded while listening.

For Hu Jinquan, when he came to see Lin Daoqiu today, he planned to talk to him about "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

However, because of the presence of Liao Xiangxiong, these things are still not suitable for mentioning in front of outsiders.

After all, Hu Jinquan didn't know much about Lin Daoqiu's temperament. If he talked about the preparation of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" in front of others and made him unhappy, it would be bad.

So at the beginning, everyone avoided movies and only talked about food or foreign anecdotes.

After drinking for three rounds, Liao Xiangxiong felt that the time had come, so he began to test Lin Daoqiu's meaning.

"Mr. Lin, this glass of wine is my apology for you."

Hearing this, he turned his head and looked at Liao Xiangxiong with a puzzled expression. They just met for the first time today. How could he apologize to himself?Could it be that he did something that was not good for him before?

Hu Jinquan who was on the side heard that Liao Xiangxiong wanted to apologize to Lin Daoqiu, and he was also taken aback for a moment, because before coming, Liao Xiangxiong didn't tell him that there was a grudge between him and Lin Daoqiu?
Although he has already won the director of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", if Lin Daoqiu has a view on him because of Liao Xiangxiong's incident, then Hu Jinquan feels that he has been wronged extremely.

"Director Liao, are you kidding me? It's only the first time we've met today, so why is there an apology?"

Lin Daoqiu thought for a while, and he could probably guess why Liao Xiangxiong suddenly said this.

"Mr. Lin encountered some unpleasant things when he was in Baodao. Although this matter has nothing to do with me, as a member of the Information Bureau, I should also express my heart."

After Liao Xiangxiong finished speaking, he was about to finish the wine.

But before he could move, he saw Lin Daoqiu raised his hand.

"Director Liao wait a minute, I can't drink this wine."

Lin Daoqiu never thought that because of Liao Xiangxiong's few words, let him let go of the previous things.

If it's really that easy for me to deal with, then in the future, wouldn't I have to let Baodao rub it round and flatten it, and bully it as I want.

Liao Xiangxiong held up his cup and suddenly didn't know what to say.

"This matter has nothing to do with Director Liao, you'd better not get involved."

Lin Daoqiu's attitude is very clear, this matter has nothing to do with you, Liao Xiangxiong, and you don't need to come here to show off.

Liao Xiangxiong didn't expect that Lin Daoqiu's resentment would be so great that he would not even say a few words on the scene.

Fortunately, there was no one else here, so Liao Xiangxiong would not be too embarrassed.

Hu Jinquan on the side had heard about what happened to Lin Daoqiu in Treasure Island before, but he, an outsider, didn't know much about what it was like.

But looking at it this way now, Liao Xiangxiong suddenly ran to Xiangjiang with him, probably because he made a special trip to get Lin Daoqiu's understanding.

Fortunately, the other party didn't ask him for help, otherwise Hu Jinquan really didn't know what to do.

"Mr. Lin, in fact, this time, I came to see you at the request of Shangfeng. Chief Li Zhengnan specifically asked me to hand over his personal letter to you."

Not to mention ordinary people, even ordinary officials, it is very difficult to meet him at first sight.

But I didn't expect Li Zhengnan to write a letter to Lin Daoqiu himself, which really gave Lin Daoqiu enough face.

"I can't accept this letter. Director Liao, please take the letter back."
