Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong

Chapter 1501 1500 [The weather is calm! 】

The next day, a round of red sun shone on the Xiangjiang River.

The destruction of the Kowloon Walled City has already become the biggest news today, but the news of "tiger hunting" by the ICAC has been suppressed.

However, some people still received some news from inside.

"Lei Luo was invited by the ICAC to drink coffee!"

"Leihu was liquidated by the anti-corruption organization!"

"Lei Luo, you're doomed!"

Sir Bailiqu was very happy today, and in the morning he went to Longfeng Tea House to drink morning tea and listen to a little song.

These are all authentic Chinese styles, but Bailiqu, who is a British lord, likes them very much.

According to his words, if you want to govern the local Chinese well, you must be more like Chinese than Chinese.

After drinking tea in the morning and listening to the ditties, the door of the private room was knocked open, but it was Bailiqu's confidant and the ICAC investigator Jiang Shijie.

Jiang Shijie glanced cautiously into the private room, only to see Sir Bailiqu holding the little hand of the famous ditty singer and giving her a reward.

The young actress was very shy, and when she suddenly saw someone coming in, she was even more shy.

But Bailiqu didn't see anything, so he stuffed fifty Hong Kong dollars into the celebrity's hand, and took the opportunity to touch the celebrity's smooth and delicate hands and praised: "Don't play the pipa with these hands, even the piano is first-rate. .”

After the praise, Bailiqu squinted at Jiang Shijie who knocked on the door and came in: "What's the matter?"

Jiang Shijie glanced at the little famous actress.

Bailiqu waved his hand to let Xiaomingling leave.

The famous actress bowed slightly towards Bailiqu, and then left with her pipa in her arms.

After the person left, Jiang Shijie walked up to Bailiqu and reported, "Lei Luo, he ran away!"

Bailiqu was not surprised at all, and tapped his fingers on the table: "The speed is quite fast, but I didn't expect him to be so willing. I thought you would at least clean up some of your real estate before leaving."

Jiang Shijie hesitated for a moment, and boldly said: "The hero of Lei Luo's generation, after all, can still distinguish between serious and serious. If he doesn't run away, I'm afraid he won't have a chance!"

Bailiqu smiled slightly, stopped his fingers tapping on the table, and looked at Jiang Shijie sharply: "Do you think that's true?"

Jiang Shijie froze for a moment, not knowing why.

Bailiqu stood up from his seat, leaned on his civilized stick and said, "In fact, I really hope that he can stay in Hong Kong for a few more days, and it would be best if he can scoop up all his real estate, stocks and so on. !"

Jiang Shijie: "For...why?"

"Why do you say?" Bailiqu asked him back, "You are an investigator of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, what are your responsibilities and obligations?"

"Punish corruption and fight crime!"

"That's it!" Bailiqu raised his civilized stick and pointed at Jiang Shijie's nose, "Get rid of the evil! Do you understand? The more crimes the other party commits, the more we can put them to death!"

"But... now Lei Luo has escaped!"

"Wouldn't that be better? If you can escape from the monk, you can't escape from the temple!" Bailiqu showed a hint of ruthlessness on his face, "If someone guarantees him, then find the person who guarantees him! Since we can't beat the big tiger, we will Grab a dragon and come out and see!"

As he spoke, Bailiqu walked out resolutely leaning on his cane, "Prepare the car, I'm going to see the Governor of Hong Kong—what is it called in your Chinese language, sue the imperial court!"

…

After nine o'clock in the morning, the Governor's Mansion.

As the Governor of Hong Kong who has been in charge of Hong Kong for four years, Mak Leh Ho has gone all out to govern Hong Kong according to his own vision since his succession in 1971.

During this period, Hong Kong's education, economy, and politics have all developed rapidly.

Especially in terms of education, under the vigorous advocacy of Mak Lihao, illiteracy has been basically eradicated. More than half of the four million Hong Kong citizens can read and write, and six-year compulsory education has been popularized. Tuition fee can be reduced.

Today, people from the Education Department came to see Mai Lihao and brought him a gift by the way.

Just after the morning meeting, Mai Lihao saw everyone from the Education Department in the living room, and saw something covered with a red cloth and placed on the side of the hall.

Mai Lihao didn't think too much, and discussed with everyone the development plan of the Hong Kong University education, and planned to open three more universities, namely the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, the Hong Kong International University, and the Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

These three universities are the hope for the future of the 21st century, and they are also the great achievements of Mai Lihao in establishing his personal image in the future.

It's just that it is too difficult to start education, especially in terms of funds. Everyone in the Education Department complained that they are poor. It is easy to do things with money, but it is difficult to do things without money.

However, Mai Lihao couldn't control so much, he only said that he had decided to run the three universities, and he was responsible for the funding.

When the Governor of Hong Kong took over this important job, everyone in the Education Department was immediately overjoyed. After all, if the three universities are really successful, they will also have glory, at least they can write a glorious mark on their resumes.

"Master Governor, you are really great!"

"That's right, the funds required by these three universities are not small. I didn't expect you to dare to bear it alone. Such arrogance makes me ashamed!"

Everyone in the Education Department is a literati among literati, and this flattery is absolutely top-notch.

Even though Mai Lihao knew that they were just talking lip service, but after all everyone loves to listen to good words, Mai Lihao couldn't help feeling relieved for a while.

"Oh, yes, today is just right!" Suddenly, the director of the Education Department clapped his hands, "I was a little nervous and abrupt about the gift we gave you today, but now it's just right!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Not only is it appropriate, it is God's will!" The director of the Education Department also applauded.

Mai Lihao was curious, what do you mean?

I saw the director walking straight over to the gift covered by the red cloth, "Master Governor, come and see!"

While speaking, he directly removed the red cloth, revealing a statue underneath!

Looking at the statue again, it's just a head statue, carved lifelike, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, with a wide forehead and a high nose bridge, who else could it be if it wasn't Mai Lihao himself?

"Uh, this is—" Mai Lihao pointed at the sculpture in a daze.

"Dear Governor of Hong Kong! This is a bust specially made for you by raising funds from our education sector, so that it can stand at the entrance of the university, or in the hall of our Education Department, as an image ambassador to inspire the public..." said the director.

"Yes, whenever we see this bust of you, we will think of you, your earnest teaching to us, and your great contribution to Hong Kong's education cause!" the director of the Education Department continued.

"That's right, there is a saying in China that a tree takes a hundred years and a man grows in ten years! Governor of Hong Kong, your contribution to Hong Kong is fully qualified to be recorded in the annals of history!" "Without you, there would be no hope for education in Hong Kong. Without you, it would still be dark here, and there would be no light!"

Mai Lihao was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that he would be so respected by everyone. And the erection of statues, isn't it common sense that people leave Hong Kong or erect them after they die? Is it too early to do it now? When the time comes, will people think that they are trying to gain fame?

As if seeing Mai Lihao's hesitation, the director of the Education Department said loudly: "Of course, some people may think that you, the governor of Hong Kong, are trying to gain fame when they see this statue; but in fact, everything you have done is fully qualified to accept such a statue. Honor! If anyone contradicts, all of us will stand up and prove to the world that you are worthy of us! You are a great man, a noble man!"

Mai Lihao was still a little hesitant, but suddenly someone applauded: "That's right! You have talked a lot, Honorable Governor of Hong Kong, you deserve such an honor!"

While speaking, Sir Bailiqu, who is in charge of the judiciary in Hong Kong, walked in arrogantly from the outside with a walking stick.

"It turned out to be Lord Jazz!"

"Hello, my lord!"

Everyone in the Education Department greeted Bailiqu one after another.

No matter in terms of official position, status, or status, Bailiqu was several heads above them.

Bailiqu nodded casually, as if he had greeted everyone, and then looked at Hong Kong Governor Mai Lihao: "Master Governor, since everyone is willing to erect a monument for you, why do you refuse? If you refuse, It's like rejecting everyone's good intentions!"

Seeing that Bailiqu had said this, Mai Lihao was slightly happy in his heart, so he declined a few more times and accepted it gladly.

Mai Lihao and Bailiqu have always been at odds with each other. Originally, it was an accident that Mai Lihao was able to become the Governor of Hong Kong. Bailiqu was quite competitive at that time. Unexpectedly, London took a fancy to Mai Lihao's "young" condition and prepared him to do more in the position of Hong Kong Governor. A few years, so as not to step down without sitting for a few days. In his last life, Mak Liho was the one who served the longest time among all Hong Kong governors.

In contrast, Bailiqu is already in his seventies, which is not only his qualifications, but also his shortcoming.

For this reason, after Mai Lihao became the governor of Hong Kong, he was always on guard against Bailiqu. Unexpectedly, Bailiqu was very smart. Hao governs Hong Kong.

This caught Mai Lihao a little off guard~www.readwn.com~ felt that his thinking was too narrow, not as open and aboveboard as Bailiqu.

In fact, the reason why Bailiqu did this was to paralyze Mai Lihao and establish his image of being impartial and selfless, so as to have more say in the Governor of Hong Kong.

Facts have proved that Bailiqu is indeed under one person and above ten thousand people in the Hong Kong government, and he is the only one who has the right to come in directly to meet Hong Kong Governor Mai Lihao without passing the appeal.

The Education Department was very happy to see the success of this slap in the face. Knowing that there was nothing wrong with Bailiqu, not waiting for the Three Treasures Hall, he must have something to do with Mai Lihao, so he greeted Bailiqu again and bid farewell.

Seeing the backs of everyone in the Education Department leaving, Bailiqu sneered in his heart, these are the people who helped Mai Lihao carry the sedan chair.

In recent years, Mai Lihao's most famous achievement is in education. Schools have been built one after another, more than department stores. If I were myself, I would definitely put the economy first, not education. The reason is very simple. Education is too expensive. As far as he knows, several universities run by the government have already emptied the small coffers of the Hong Kong government. It's just such a half-human statue, is it worth it?
