"Miss Zhou, do you like this photo?" A mellow male voice sounded behind Zhou Sitian.
Zhou Sitian turned around and saw the person coming, her brows relaxed slightly, "It's you, didn't you forget to bring your medicine today?"
The man was stunned for a moment, and then laughed lightly. He took out a small white bottle from his jacket pocket and shook it in front of Zhou Sitian, "I didn't forget."
The man looks in his early forties, and his facial features can still tell the handsomeness of his youth. He has an elevated body and is neither fat nor thin. He wears a gray-black coat with a high-neck sweater of excellent fabric inside. Intellectual elegance and bookishness.
"Does Miss Zhou also like photography?"
"Photography?" Zhou Sitian was stunned for a moment, and then sneered, "How do I know these things, I just came in because I thought it was warm here, anyway, I don't need money." She said the last sentence in a low voice.
There was a hint of astonishment in the man's eyes, and then his smile became wider, "Miss Zhou is really pleasant."
Zhou Sitian didn't answer any further, and turned to look at the photo on the display wall again. The content of the photo was of a young man standing on the bow of the boat. Under the cool moonlight, the lonely back of the young man looked particularly bleak. It was because of this that Zhou Sitian thought of her younger brother and stood in front of the photo for a long time.
She and this man met two days ago.
Because of the fact that Li Zheng was still alive, Zhou Sitian had been eating and sleeping well these days, and accidentally grew two taels of flesh on his stomach.
Liu Zhidong was heartbroken and forced her to run in the morning. Two mornings ago, when Zhou Sitian ran to the woods in Xiangjiang Park, he saw Shao Qihua squatting on the ground with his chest covered, sweating profusely. After hesitating for a while, she stepped forward to ask questions, only to know that Shao Qihua suffered from angina. According to Shao Qihua's words, she quickly ran to the edge of the park and asked the driver waiting there to take the medicine, which saved Shao Qihua's life.
Seeing that Zhou Sitian didn't like to talk to him, Shao Qihua couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly. Since he started from scratch and took this position today, few people have treated him like this.
"Miss Zhou, I haven't had time to thank you for what happened last time. Since we have the chance to meet again today, would you like to have a dinner together? There is a dinner party at No. 1 Mid-Levels tonight, and I have one less female companion."
He had already passed the age of young Mu Ai, but in Zhou Sitian, he saw a lot of familiar and nostalgic things, which were not found in those famous ladies in Hong Kong.
Zhou Sitian finally turned around and carefully looked at the man in front of her. She said unceremoniously, "Uncle, how old are you?"
Shao Qihua was stunned, "Forty-three." Not only that, but he answered obediently.
"Uncle Shao, I'm 18 years old this year." Zhou Sitian's voice was clear and sweet, with the energy unique to girls of the most beautiful age.
Shao Qihua was stunned in place, and then he suddenly let out a pleasant laugh, at first low voice, then laughing louder and louder.
Seeing that the entire photography exhibition was looking over here, Zhou Sitian blushed with embarrassment. She gave Shao Qihua a vicious look, and then quickly took two steps to the side, expressing that she was not familiar with this person.
The security guard of the photo exhibition wanted to come, but was pulled by his colleagues.
"You're crazy, this is Mr. Shao, Shao Qihua from Huayu!"
Shao Qihua's laughter slowly stopped, he coughed twice, and handed a business card to Zhou Sitian, "I have changed my mind, call me anytime."
Zhou Sitian watched Shao Qihua's hand holding the business card and didn't put it down, pouted, but still took it.
As for the chairman of the board of directors of Huayu Group, Liu Zhidong's popular science class has not mentioned this yet.
Shao Qihua saw Zhou Sitian put his business card into his pocket, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes. He is not a stalker either. After politely leaving, he left the photography exhibition.
Zhou Sitian looked strangely at someone holding a camera to take pictures of Shao Qihua's back. Is he... is he a star too
"Bump" a person who was reading the newspaper while walking accidentally bumped into Zhou Sitian, and the newspaper was scattered all over the floor.
"sorry Sorry."
"It's okay." Zhou Sitian squatted down to pick up the newspaper for him.
On December 24, 1982, the front page headline of Heung Kong Daily: Big Crocodile Gathered, Mid-Levels No. 1 Christmas Eve Party
Zhou Sitian got up abruptly, rushed to the door quickly, and saw Shao Qihua just stepped into the door with one foot.
"Uncle Shao, are you missing a female companion? I'm free!" Zhou Sitian said loudly, attracting many people on the road.
The "click" flash comes on.
Now Zhou Sitian is not yet sensitive to the camera, she quickly ran to Shao Qihua, "Uncle Shao, do you still count the invitation just now?"
…
"No, I'm not going." To everyone's surprise, Zheng Lingling finally chose to stay.
She looked at the people who were sorry for her, and said loudly with a smile: "I gave up the opportunity to see the Hong Kong Governor to stay with you! Don't blame me for not giving face to any of you who made a mistake when you were officially on stage at night. ."
There was laughter on the stage.
Li Zheng wore a bloated tree man costume and lifted his branches. Loyal to his job, not arrogant or impetuous, he felt more and more that Zheng Lingling was suitable to be the chief housekeeper of his laboratory.
When the performance officially started in the evening, there was a large crowd of people sitting under the stage. Because of the big winter, the air conditioner in the college students' activity room was very warm.
Air conditioners in the 1980s were loud, and the gas coming out was more like air scorched by flames, and it was annoyingly dry. Li Zheng had been standing motionless for a long time, and he felt the sweat dripping down his cheeks and into his neckline.
Finally, after He Zhongming finished his last line, the stage lights suddenly turned orange.
"Merry Christmas!" Li Zheng said first, followed by everyone on the stage. In the end, although everyone in the venue stood up and shouted "Merry Christmas", the entire venue was immersed in a festive atmosphere.
Phew, finally done.
Li Zheng took off his bloated tree man costume, and sweat soaked his hair, making him look a little embarrassed. It was half past seven. Li Zheng frowned slightly. He went to the bathroom to wash his hair quickly, changed his jacket, took a taxi and rushed to the venue.
"Young man, the mid-mountain is under martial law now, so I can't drive up." The taxi driver spoke authentic Cantonese.
"It's alright, Master, you can drive, it's where you can drive it." Li Zheng, who had been in his previous life, had already stood at a very high level, but his mood was still a little unsettled now.
If it is an ordinary banquet, no matter how high-level it is, it is almost impossible for Li Zheng to come out at night.
But tonight was different. Tonight, no, in half an hour, the group of people he was going to meet were the trend-setters of the 1980s, a generation known as "Legends".
The ship king Bao Gang, the sand king Huo Jie, the gambling king He Jin, Li Kunhe, Shao Qihua, Shen Wannian, these people have left an indelible mark in the history of Hong Kong and even the entire country.
"Young man, you look very handsome, how old are you this year, are you going on a date with your girlfriend in the mid-mountain? Usually the scenery on the mid-mountain side is good, but today is special. When we passed by, there were already police stationed there."
While the old master was talking, they saw the first sentry.
The police whistle and gesturing.
"I can't get in." The master said helplessly, and he was about to pull over and stop.
"Go in, I have an invitation card." Li Zheng said, and took out the invitation card in his pocket.
The master widened his eyes and stared at the invitation card in Li Zheng's hand, "Youngsheng, don't bluff me, you're going to go to jail."
Li Zheng was dumbfounded, and he said seriously, "I promise, really."
The taxi driver suddenly became excited, "You said it, maybe I can take a look at those people." He sat up straight and headed towards the first post.
The police quickly ran up, and before he could speak, Li Zheng lowered the car window slightly and handed out the invitation.
The police probably did not expect that someone would come to the banquet in a taxi. He carefully checked the invitation and made a gesture to his companions.
"Note that there are guests on the taxi HK22634. Don't block it. To repeat, there are guests on the taxi HK22634. Don't block it." After the taxi was released, the police used the walkie-talkie to notify other sentry companions.
"I didn't expect that one day I would be able to enter the middle of the mountain." The taxi driver drove straight in, looking at the guard posts along the way and saluting him, he felt dizzy and his mouth was almost behind his ears.
"Wait a minute." Li Zheng, who had been looking out the window, suddenly said.
The taxi master immediately stepped on the brakes. In his eyes, this young man was a big man. Although he is a little younger, the one who can get the invitation card of No. 1 Mid-Levels is not a big man, but also a big man's relatives and friends, so he has to be careful to greet him.
Li Zheng seems to have seen Zheng Lingling
He opened the door and got out of the car.
There are four entrances in the middle of the mountain. Li Zheng entered from the east. Because some of them are private roads, the taxi circled in a big circle, just around the north intersection.
"Zheng Lingling?" Li Zheng said hesitantly, because the woman in front of her was wearing make-up, and there were still some differences in peacetime.
"Li Zheng?" Zheng Lingling opened her mouth in surprise, "Why are you here?"
She promised Bao Qinghe to come over as soon as the show was over, and Bao Qinghe would come down to pick her up. She arrived at the Banshan North intersection fifteen minutes ago. Because there was no invitation card, her car could not go inside. She called the center of the venue with the phone number of the guard box and asked them to notify Bao Qinghe to pick her up.
Xu is because there are too many people, and there is no call back to her from No. 1 Mid-Levels.
"Come to the banquet." Li Zheng looked at Zheng Lingling with "isn't this nonsense".
Zheng Lingling opened her mouth and was speechless. She thought she was "great" enough, but the person in front of her clearly had an invitation, but she never mentioned a word in front of her classmates. He even stood on the stage. For over an hour...
Zheng Lingling looked at Li Zheng's still-dry hair, she naturally knew that Li Zheng's hair was wet with sweat because of wearing a doll costume for a long time, so she rushed her head.
It was difficult for her to express her mood at the moment in words, "You obviously... can say it."
Li Zheng smiled slightly, "No need."
He went forward to negotiate with the police in the box for two minutes, and the railing in front of Zheng's car was lifted.
"Go up, it's cold, it's easy to catch a cold."
Zheng Lingling nodded blankly, looking at Li Zheng's back for a long time without saying a word.
Not long after Li Zheng stepped into the venue, David greeted him excitedly, "Oh, Li, you're finally here. I thought you let my pigeons go."
This time, Li Zheng still gave him a face and hugged him, "Integrity is the foundation of human beings."
"Yes, you are right, honesty is indeed the book!" David's words made the surrounding voices pause.
The large living room, the high ceiling, the lights radiating colorful light under the refraction of the crystal, the men and women in Chinese costumes shuttled through the venue holding champagne glasses, laughing Yan Yan.
A spirited foreigner in his 60s smiled and raised his glass, "David, people say that integrity is the foundation of being a human being, which means that integrity is the most basic bottom line of being a human being. If you don't understand it, you don't understand it." Following the old man's words, many people's eyes fell on Li Zheng and David.
"Who is the teenager next to Mr. Andorio? Why haven't I seen him? Mr. Andorio seems to respect him very much."
David, the executive vice president of the world's top 500 companies in Asia, is well-known even among the wealthy in Hong Kong. He admires Li Zheng so much, which naturally attracts the attention of many people.
"Edward, Li and I are in the same spirit, and language can't be an obstacle to us." David said with a smile.
He turned his head and introduced to Li Zheng: "Sir Edward Wharton is also the Governor of Hong Kong appointed by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland."
Edward took the initiative to reach out to Li Zheng, "You are an amazing biologist, and it is an honor to meet you."
His voice was neither light nor heavy enough to be heard clearly by those around him.
These small group of people at the top of the Xiangjiang food chain naturally do not express their shock like ordinary people, but the subtle expressions on their faces and the accidentally spilled wine clearly reveal that they are not Peace of mind.
Li Zheng only felt as if countless spotlights were hitting him.
He looked calm, neither happy nor sad. In his last life, he has been on the rostrum of the Great Hall of the People, and he has also stood on the podium of the United Nations. He does not like being stared at, but he is not afraid of being stared at.
This is what Zheng Lingling saw when she stepped into the venue.
"Lingling, is he your classmate?" Bao Qinghe's voice was full of surprise and doubts.
Zheng Lingling nodded blankly, "It seems... yes."
On the other side, Liang Zhe had been struggling for a long time at a place 20 meters away from Li Zheng. He was holding a white towel in his hand, which he had just asked the waiter to pick up.
The moment he saw Li Zheng, Liang Zhe was keenly aware that Li Zheng's hair was still a little damp. How cold is it to have wet hair in winter, so he immediately sent someone to get a towel.
but…
Liang Zhe looked at the towel in his hand, and then looked at Li Zheng not far away, stepped forward with his right foot and retracted it, his lips pursed tightly.
At this moment, Daniel walked towards Li Zheng with a dry towel on his face.
"Li, your hair is still wet, wipe it." Mid-level No. 1 will invite David, the vice president of Roche Asia, and naturally Pfizer's vice president of Asia.
When Daniel saw Li Zheng for the first time, he couldn't help scolding his mother, "Damn, let that David take the lead again." But what if he took the lead? Is he careful? Is he caring? blind!
Li Zheng looked at the dry towel handed in front of him, and was really moved.
"Thank you, my friend." Li Zheng really put Daniel in the position of a friend rather than a partner this time.
not far away
"Mr. Liang, are you alright." The waiter next to him looked at Liang Zhe, who almost twisted the towel into a twist.
Liang Zhe gave him a cold look, then threw the towel to the waiter, "It's okay."
Halfway through the banquet, Edward smiled and tapped the wine glass on the stage.
The people scattered around the venue slowly moved closer to the center. Li Zheng, David, and Daniel stood in the corner of the venue, their eyes wandering. Li Jiaren, Bao Gang, Huo Jie... One by one vivid people came into sight. Their faces are different from the old people in the newspaper photos of later generations. Now they are in their prime, turning their hands into clouds and covering their hands into rain, stirring up the situation in Hong Kong, and they are full of energy.
Zhao Qiuhua stood there in a daze, holding Shen Hongji's hand, her eyes passed through the crowd in the gorgeous gowns in the venue, and her eyes fell on Li Zheng, who was holding a champagne glass.
Li Zheng was turning his head and talking to David, and the two laughed happily at the same time.
Zhao Qiuhua's expression was a little dazed. Could this extraordinary young man really be her son
In the Li family that she regarded as a cage, Zhao Qiuhua put the most in this innocent child. Therefore, after Xiangjiang heard the news that her father had been rehabilitated, she immediately sent a letter to Huajing, asking her father to bring the child to Huajing.
Shen Hongji glanced at his wife strangely. He followed Zhao Qiuhua's gaze and frowned, "Is it him?"
Zhao Qiuhua was stunned, and said in a complicated mood, "Do you know?"
"His name is Li Zheng. He is very young and a genius in pharmacy. He obtained a pharmaceutical patent at a young age. The piece of land that Hongjing asked me to buy is the piece of land that Zijun used to develop, and it was bought by him. Let's go." Shen Hongji's impression of Li Zheng is very complicated. He admires Li Zheng's ability at a young age, but is dissatisfied that he has taken away the land in Jingyuan. After all, the land in Jingyuan has special meaning to his sister. .
"Li Zheng" Zhao Qiuhua muttered to himself, it was really him...
It would be too coincidental to say that people may have similar faces, but the names and faces are the same at the same time. The only explanation for this is that the pharmacy genius that this husband talks about is really her son, Li Zheng.
But how is this possible? Her son is obviously an ordinary fisherman boy whose academic performance is not very good.
Shen Hongji felt that his wife's reaction was a bit strange, and said, "You know him?"
Zhao Qiuhua ignored Shen Hongji's words, she put the wine in her hand on the table, "I'll go out." She wanted to leave.
At this time, Shen Wannian and Yang Wanru walked over, "This is the Hong Kong Governor's Banquet, not a place where you can just run around." Yang Wanru whispered to Zhao Qiuhua.
Yang Wanru is dissatisfied with Zhao Qiuhua, a daughter-in-law of 110,000 people. She is just a smuggler. Although her father is a high-ranking official in Huajing, the current political situation in Xiangjiang is not clear. God knows whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. But the son had a tendon, and the woman went to get a certificate on the first day she arrived in Xiangjiang.
The author has something to say:
Liang Zhe: I just want to give my daughter-in-law a towel
Author: I gave you a chance!
