After the boring and boring praise of Dai Lintoe's exploits as the governor of Hong Kong over the years, this ghost guy did not look embarrassed at all, but accepted all these praises, smiled, and happily walked to the microphone and said: "I am very grateful to all of you for coming to this farewell party, I like Hong Kong very much, this is a beautiful city, I believe that the future will definitely bloom its original light." The days in Hong Kong are something I will never forget in my life......"

Dai Lintoe said the words before parting, and the three sentences did not depart from his contribution to Hong Kong over the years.

Well, the two things that this devil did as the governor of Hong Kong were the first to do was to supply water, and the second was to force six years of free education, which can be regarded as quite a contribution.

On the stage, Huo Yaowen didn't listen to a word, but kept looking at Brandt, he just asked President Li Wenzheng, only to know that the few people who followed the governor were all people sent by the new governor to take over Hong Kong's government affairs in advance.

At this time, Huo Yaowen was a little dizzy, Brant was actually a confidant of the new governor, which was something he didn't expect.

When he went to the UK to accompany Anna to Brant's wedding the year before last, Huo Yaowen's impression of him at the salon the night before was always that he was a literary person, but he never expected that Brant was still an "official"?

I don't know if he sensed that someone was watching him, Brandt glanced around, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Huo Yaowen, who was standing behind the crowd, standing out from the crowd, seeing him staring at him, he secretly took advantage of people's inattention, and raised his eyebrows, as if to say: "I didn't expect it!"

At this moment, Dai Lintoe on the stage finally finished speaking, and after the short speech, everyone began to gather together in twos and threes to chat, talking about the few people who were standing behind the governor.

"Do you know that person?"

Looking at Brant beside Dai Lintoe not far away, Luo Qiaozhen approached and asked.

Huo Yaowen didn't hide it from her, nodded and said, "It's an acquaintance." ”

As soon as these words came out, Luo Qiaozhen couldn't help but be surprised, she just saw some small movements between the two, and she just thought it was an accident, so she ran over to ask, but she didn't expect Huo Yaowen to really know the person sent by the new governor.

I wanted to ask, but this kind of thing, it's not good to say much on this occasion, plus everyone has their own secrets, Luo Qiaozhen didn't get to the bottom of it, just nodded silently, and wrote down the matter in her heart.

The two chatted briefly a few more words, and Huo Zhenting came to call Huo Yaowen away at this time.

"That one just now was Huo Yaowen!"

Hearing the voice behind her, Luo Qiaozhen looked back and saw that it was the fifth cousin Luo Deqing, nodded and said, "Hmm." ”

Hearing this, Luo Qing looked thoughtfully at Huo Yaowen's departing back, and didn't know what to think about in his heart.

……

On the other side, Huo Yaowen followed Huo Zhenting and arrived next to Li Wenzheng, and the governor happened to come over with Brant and others.

As a farewell party held by the business community for him, Dai Lintoe naturally wanted to thank him, he had been to several important chambers of commerce presidents, and he was going to take a walk around the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce at this time.

"President Li, thank you for this farewell party organized by your Chamber of Commerce for me......

"Yes, Governor Tai has dedicated his work to Hong Kong for many years, and we in the business community should be grateful to Governor Tai. ”

After some polite words, Dai Lintoe finally got to the point and introduced a few people behind him: "This is the personal assistant of the new Governor Mr. Mak, and he came to Hong Kong this time to understand the current development of Hong Kong. ”

"This is ......"

introduced three people in a row, and he finally introduced Brandt: "This is Mr. Brandt, who was personally appointed by the British King to come to Hong Kong as the deputy secretary for administration, but he has not yet taken office. ”

Deputy Chief Secretary!

Li Wenzheng's eyes lit up, you must know that in addition to the governor with the most power, the second largest is the director of the political secretary, who can be regarded as the head of the civil servants, although he is a deputy, but the ghost in front of him is only in his thirties, and he can hold such an important position, and he has an extraordinary background.

Because he has not yet taken office, Li Wenzheng only addresses the other party by Mr.: "Hello Mr. Brandt, the contempt is Li Wenzheng, the president of the Guangdong United Chamber of Commerce, and I am very happy to meet Mr. Brandt today." ”

"Hello Mr. Li. Brandt replied in broken Cantonese.

"I didn't expect Mr. Brandt to speak Chinese. Li Wenzheng smiled.

"Will say a little. ”

Brandt then switched to English and said, "I like Mr. Evan's work very much, so I know a little bit about Chinese culture. I have read several of his works, not only me, but the whole of Britain loves Evan's current works, and even our King has publicly said that he likes Mr. Evan's "Harry Potter". ”

Evan?

Li Wenzheng was a little surprised, who is this?

However, a few directors standing behind Li Wenzheng suddenly looked at Huo Yaowen at the back.

Even Huo Zhenting, who was beside him, stared at him with surprise on his face.

Although Huo Yaowen is now very famous in the Hong Kong literary circle, and he dare not say that it is like thunder, at least no one who reads books and newspapers has not heard of his name.

But in total, it's all just within Hong Kong.

Although there are many reports on the situation overseas, as mentioned in the previous newspaper, how many thousands of books have been sold abroad, breaking the book sales list of Dongying for decades, and being hailed as a rising star of science fiction in the United States, the contemporary American dream, and setting off a magic frenzy in the United Kingdom.

This has indeed been reported in Hong Kong, and many people are shocked, praised, and proud, but this is only a written report.

But now, a soon-to-be-appointed deputy secretary of the political secretary said to everyone that Evan was his idol, and his works were praised even by the British king, which made the hearts of those who were familiar with Huo Yaowen's situation set off waves in their hearts.

When Dai Lintoe heard Brandt say that the queen liked Evan's works, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised, it was indeed difficult for him to understand the affairs of the British upper class in Hong Kong, but this kind of talk was absolutely impossible to make up.

So he immediately said, "Is it Brant, you also like Evan's work, oh, I also like his work, he writes so well! And he is not only a writer, but also a famous philanthropist in Hong Kong, but unfortunately today is a farewell party held by the industry and commerce, otherwise I will take you to meet Mr. Evan, he is very, very young." ”

At this time, several directors behind Li Wenzheng muttered a few words in a low voice, and then he knew that Evan was Huo Yaowen! No wonder it sounded so familiar just now!

"Mr. Governor, Mr. Brandt, Evan is here today. Li Wenzheng hurriedly said.

Dai Lin raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

Huo Yaowen in the back, seeing Brandt staring at him with a smile on the corner of his mouth, couldn't help but smile bitterly, he didn't know that this was Brandt who made him a fancy sedan chair.

"Oh my God, it's really Mr. Evan!"

Brandt pretended to be shocked, and immediately hugged Huo Yaowen who came over, and whispered in his ear: "Anna asked me to tell you that she will be there in two days." ”

"What are you doing here?" Huo Yaowen replied.

"What are you doing?"

After saying that, Brant let go of the hand that hugged Huo Yaowen, and secretly made a funny look before parting.

Dai Lintoe walked over with a smile on his face, stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "I always thought that Mr. Evan was an excellent writer and a philanthropist who likes education, but I didn't expect Mr. Evan to be an excellent businessman." I think my appointment of you as a Justice of the Peace in Kowloon is the best decision I have ever made. ”

The ousted governor is not as good as a dog, although this is a bit false, but back to the United Kingdom, almost all of them are nobles and high-ranking officials, Dai Lintoe is clear about the background of the Brandt family, behind which is not only the old aristocratic Wester family, but his wife is also the only daughter of the famous British Earl Longman Rupert, Rupert is an old political family.

With these layers of relationships, Dai Lintoe wants to go back to England to continue a decent errand, and he will definitely be a little flattering to Brandt, and seeing that he admires Evan very much, he is naturally willing to sell it before he is about to step down.
