President Huo!"

As soon as Huo Yaowen entered the banquet hall, he saw Lin Jianming holding his female companion's hand and walking slowly, casually took a glass of champagne from the tray served by the waiter on the side, and said with a smile: "It's Mr. Lin, I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know what Mr. Lin has been busy with recently." ”

"It's still the same. ”

Lin Jianming's face suddenly stiffened, but he quickly warmed up and smiled: "I forgot to congratulate you, Mr. Huo, I recently read a newspaper and said that your work is selling well in the UK again." It is an honor for us in Hong Kong to have such a great writer. ”

Mr. Lin laughed, I'm just a writer, it's not an honor. ”

Lin Jianming smiled and said: "There are so many writers and literati in Hong Kong, and only Mr. Huo's books can be sold in the United Kingdom and the United States, which has caused a sensation, in my opinion, Mr. Huo can be described as the first talent in Hong Kong!"

Huo Yaowen laughed dryly twice and didn't speak, a little puzzled in his heart how Lin Jianming could be so attentive to himself.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Lin Jianming didn't continue to tout, but said: "Mr. Huo doesn't know if he is free at night? ”

Huo Yaowen only thought for a few seconds, then nodded and agreed, "Okay." ”

"President. ”

At this time, Luo Qiaozhen's voice suddenly came from behind her, Huo Yaowen looked back when she heard the voice, and saw an old man in his sixties wearing a gray suit standing next to her.

"Mr. Lin, someone is looking for me, so I'll be with you first. ”

Lin Jianming waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Mr. Huo just remembers tonight's date." ”

Appointment!

Dating you big-headed ghosts.

Huo Yaowen complained in his heart, but he still smiled politely on his face, and then walked back.

Luo Qiaozhen introduced him: "President, let me introduce you to you, this is the former Dean Zhang Tianze of the Faculty of Arts of Nanyang University. ”

Zhang Tianze first looked at Huo Yaowen with interest, and then said with a smile: "Miss Luo said that I am not a big person, this time I can have a charity banquet to invite me, an old man, I am too late to be happy, how can I refuse." ”

Luo Qiaozhen smiled and said nothing, and introduced Huo Yaowen at the end: "This is President Huo Yaowen Huo of our Charity Education Foundation......

"Hello Dean Zhang. Huo Yaowen took the initiative to stretch out his hand with a smile on his face. For the Zhang Tianze in front of him, he didn't know or heard of it, and he didn't understand why Luo Qiaozhen invited him to come.

Zhang Tianze shook hands and said: "President Huo, I have admired your name for a long time! I have long heard in Singapore that Hong Kong has produced a rare young talent, and it is really extraordinary to see it today. ”

This is not Zhang Tianze's compliment, Singapore is the country with the largest number of Chinese in Nanyang, most people generally know Chinese and Chinese characters, since Huo Yaowen became famous, many of his works have been pirated in Singapore, many of them are from regular publishing companies, if it is not that the current law on piracy is not perfect, otherwise the lawsuit will be allowed.

But this year, it's useless to sue, at most you will lose some money, and it's all lawyer's fees.

Fok Yiuwen said: "Dean Zhang said with a smile, I have heard that Nanyang University is unique in education, and Vice President Luo is right, it is our honor to invite Dean Zhang to our Charity Education Foundation today. ”

After complimenting each other a few words, Zhang Tianze seemed to see an old friend, and said with a smile.

After the others left, Huo Yaowen asked Luo Qiaozhen about Zhang Tianze, only to hear her say in surprise: "Don't you know?"

"What do you know?" Huo Yaowen frowned.

"You've taught at HKU. ”

Luo Qiaozhen glanced at him, shook his head and said, "Don't you know that the next president of Hong Kong University will be Huang Lisong, the current president of Nanyang University?"

"The President of Nanyang University?"

Huo Yaowen squinted slightly, although he knew that the new president was a Chinese, but he didn't know that he was the president of Nanyang University.

Luo Qiaozhen looked at him as if he understood, and continued: "The new president should not take office until August or September, and as for the dean Zhang who is about to take up a post at HKU, I invited him over this time, mainly to contact Huang Lisong through him, so that our foundation can carry out financial aid cooperation with HKU in the future." ”

With the rise of Hong Kong's six-year free education, and the first batch of foundation-funded secondary school students about to enter the university stage, Luo Qiaozhen thought that there would definitely be more and more secondary school students in Hong Kong in the future, and those students whose families were more difficult but could study well would inevitably enter university if they wanted to continue their studies.

In this way, it is necessary to communicate and cooperate with various universities in advance, so as to reduce part of the tuition fees for those poor students, which can not only give the university a good reputation, but also reduce the burden of university education for the foundation.

From this point of view, Luo Qiaozhen not only has a far-sighted and far-sighted plan, but also calculates the future development direction of the foundation in advance.

"I don't see it, but you have a lot of ideas. ”

Huo Yaowen, as a person from later generations, knew that Hong Kong would implement 12 years of free education in the future, which means that she would not have to pay for primary and secondary schools, but she Luo Qiaozhen definitely didn't know, but now considering the cost of students going to college, this mind should also be a strong woman in the shopping mall if she is in business.

Luo Qiaozhen glanced at him and said unhurriedly, "It's not that I have ideas, it's just that you never cared about the Foundation's affairs." ”

"It's not that I don't care, but I'm relieved that the Foundation will be fine with you. ”

Hearing Huo Yaowen say that she was relieved, the corners of Luo Qiaozhen's mouth rose slightly, and she recovered after a while, took out a manuscript from a lady's bag she was carrying, handed it to him, and said, "Okay, don't be poor, since you came here today, you can come to the stage later." ”

Huo Yaowen took the manuscript paper, opened it and glanced at it quickly, it was all some painless and painless written words thanking the guests for participating in the charity dinner, he didn't shirk, stuffed the manuscript paper into his pocket, nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll go to the stage later." ”

At this time, Zhou Xinian walked over and saw Huo Yaowen and said with a smile: "You come to Yaowen, go, I'll introduce you to a few people, today our foundation wants to raise more funds to build a school, but we can count on them more." ”

Counting Zhou Xinian, the honorary president, is much more reliable than Huo Yaowen, the real president in power, and some of the fundraising activities and banquets held by the foundation throughout last year will definitely be there to cheer in person unless there is something.

"Good. ”

Hearing this, Huo Yaowen nodded with a smile, said a few words to Luo Qiaozhen, and followed Zhou Xinian to meet a few big high-rollers.

The main purpose of the charity banquet held by the Foundation today is to build a new school with a secondary school and a primary school for the children in the Islands District, which can be said to be the poorest of the 18 districts in Hong Kong.

The district consists of more than 20 large and small islands, including Tai O, Cheung Chau, Lamma Island, Big and Small Modao Chau, Shek Kwu Chau, etc., covering the south and southwest of Hong Kong, with a total population of less than 10,000.

Because the number of students is too small and too scattered, the Education Department has never built a school in the Islands District.

In the early years, there were businessmen who donated money to build a school on Lantau Island, but now it has long been in disshapeshaped, and in recent years, there have been no teachers who are willing to teach in such poor places, and the school has long been abandoned.

This time, the foundation is thinking of choosing a place to rebuild a school and let all children in the outlying islands study for free.
