Patten was talking about his governance philosophy after becoming the governor of Hong Kong on the temporary podium, when the audience suddenly remembered a very discordant applause.

The reporters around consciously made way for Lin Youlun.

Patten's qualities as a veteran politician were immediately apparent, and he was only slightly stunned and reacted immediately.

"Oh, I almost forgot, today is here for Mr. Lin's daughter's birthday party...... I think the banquet will start soon, so I'm sorry to say so much to you today. ”

Under the watchful eyes of reporters at the scene, Chris Patten stepped off the podium and took the initiative to extend his hand to Lin Youlun.

At this moment, Applejack, who was standing at the back of the crowd, was about to raise his throat, for fear that Lin Youlun would refuse to shake hands with Patten, which would definitely make the other party unable to get off the stage, but offending the Hong Kong Governor at this time would not be good for Lin Youlun.

After Lin Youlun hesitated for two seconds, he shook hands with Patten after the last moment.

"Mr. Governor, I'm sorry to interrupt you, but as you said, the banquet is about to begin, and I don't think you want the guests to be waiting for you all the time, do you?"

"Of course."

Chris Patten smiled and nodded, promising to go up immediately, but the hand he held with Lin Youlun did not mean to let go immediately.

The reporter at the scene took the opportunity to take a photo of the two shaking hands intimately, which is obviously Patten's real purpose, he doesn't need Lin Youlun's real support, he just needs to make others mistakenly think that he and Lin Youlun have a good relationship on the surface.

Lin Youlun had already released his palm. Chris Patten reluctantly let go. Before leaving, I didn't forget to be in front of reporters. He gave him a gift for Lin Youlun's daughter, a piece of silver tableware that is said to be from the Victorian era.

When the elevator door slowly closed, Patten did not forget to wave his hand to the media reporter who was stopped outside the elevator.

As soon as the elevator door closed, Lin Youlun took the initiative to chat with Patten.

"Mr. Governor, I would like to take the liberty of asking a question...... If you can't continue to enter politics after you step down as Governor, I wonder what your plans will be next? ”

"Maybe I'll go to universities and give lectures to young people, and in fact I was already receiving offers from several British universities before I took over as Governor." Patten replied casually. It can be seen that he doesn't take this issue too seriously, and just treats it as a very light topic.

"That's ......" Lin Youlun's words deliberately revealed a bit of regret, and Patten followed and asked: "Does Mr. Lin have a better suggestion?" ”

Lin Youlun looked at Chris Patten with a serious expression, "With Mr. Governor's talent, it's really a pity not to be an actor." ”

Because of Lin Youlun's status as a film investor, Patten didn't react at first, thinking that Lin Youlun was praising him, waving his hand and laughing: "Then I have to hurry up and lose weight, otherwise with my current image, I guess I can only act in comedy." ”

At this time, the elevator stopped steadily on the floor where the banquet hall was located. Lin Youlun shrugged his shoulders and made a gesture of please towards the open elevator door.

"Who's to say it isn't?"

Chris Patten walked a few steps out of the road. Only then did he realize that Lin Youlun's words just now seemed to mean something else, but he didn't notice the problem at first, and he couldn't ask any more questions at this time, so he could only be a little depressed in his heart, and then comforted himself that he didn't understand Lin Youlun's meaning wrong.

"Even the Governor of Hong Kong is here, it seems that Mr. Lin's face is not small!" Looking at Chris Patten, who was speaking at Lin Youlun's daughter's first birthday banquet on the stage in front, Li Zeju, who came with his father Li Jiacheng, said in a slightly envious tone.

Li Jiacheng held the wine glass, shook his head and said, "Others regard this as a glorious thing, but it is not necessarily when it is put on Lin Sheng. ”

Li Zeju looked puzzled, "What do you mean?" ”

"If nothing else, Chris Patten should be the last governor of Hong Kong, and he will definitely make some moves during his term of office, leaving some trouble for the mainland government after Hong Kong's return to the motherland. Beijing welcomes, and Lin Sheng has always been very close to the mainland, if there is anyone in Hong Kong who wants to have anything to do with Patten Conce, that person is definitely Lin Sheng. ”

Li Jiacheng said in a very firm tone.

Li Zeju quickly figured out the key to it, but there was one more thing he didn't understand.

"So Chris Patten came this time to win over Lin Sheng?"

"If it were you, on the one hand, the governor of Hong Kong who can only work for a few years and leave, and on the other hand, the mainland government that can cooperate for a long time, what would you choose?" Li Jiacheng glanced at his son, "Patten also understands this truth, so he came here today just to make a show, leaving the outside world with the illusion that he has a good relationship with Lin Youlun, which is enough." ”

At this time, Patten had finished his speech on the stage, and the guests present all applauded symbolically.

As Li Jiacheng expected, Patten did not stay at the banquet for too long, and soon said goodbye and left, and as soon as he left, the atmosphere in the banquet hall immediately became lively.

Xiao Honghong was hugged by her grandmother Chen Huiqing, surrounded by a large group of people, everyone was trying to make the little guy happy on the contrary, but I don't know what's going on, the little guy was not in a good mood today, so he was picked up by Zhou Yanfa and held in his arms, and he cried as soon as he pouted.

After Zhong Chuhong dealt with the guests around her, she hurriedly hugged her daughter who still had tears in her eyes from Zhou Yanfa's hand.

"I'll just say that Fa Ge's godfather is not suitable, and it should have been done by me, right, little baby!" Wang Jing clapped his hands in front of the little guy, teasing her while not forgetting to make fun of Zhou Runfa.

"Whether she likes it or not, I'm already a godfather anyway." Zhou Yanfa took out a doll from behind his back as if by magic, and shook it in front of Xiao Honghong, and the little guy's attention was immediately shifted to his side.

Wang Jing was not convinced, and was about to continue to compete with Zhou Yanfa, Zhong Chuhong stood up at this time and said: "Okay, one of you will be the child's godfather and the other will be the child's uncle in the future, can you be a little righteous in front of the child?" ”

Zhou Yanfa shrugged his shoulders and shut up and stopped talking, but Wang Jing was not happy.

"What is an uncle, it should be an uncle, I'm older than Aaron!"

"You can discuss this matter with Aaron, and if he agrees, I will let Honghong call you uncle."

As soon as Zhong Chuhong mentioned Lin Youlun, Wang Jing suddenly lost his temper. He glanced at Lin Youlun, who was talking to Fang Yihua over there, and knew that if he went to Lin Youlun at this time and said this, it would definitely be boring for himself.

"Mr. Lin, TVBS is about to start broadcasting, I wonder how the TV series in your hands are doing?"

TVBS is nominally a subsidiary of Hong Kong TVB, and it is normal for Fang Yihua to care about the start of the broadcast, but she obviously had many opportunities to talk to Lin Youlun about this before, but she chose this time alone, which is a bit abnormal.

"Zhou Linggang is in charge of the filming of "The Dragon and the Phoenix", which has been filmed and is currently being edited...... Zhou You's "Detective Di Renjie" is still being filmed, but it is soon to be completed. Lin Youlun briefly informed Fang Yihua of the filming progress of the two TV series.

Fang Yihua nodded, and then asked, "Which drama did Mr. Lin decide to use as the opening drama?" ”

"Two together."

Lin Youlun's answer surprised Fang Yihua a little, but after thinking about it carefully, this matter is not completely unfounded, she probably knows a little about the content of these two TV series, and theoretically there is indeed no possibility of competing with each other for audiences.

"Mr. Lin attaches so much importance to TVBS, to be honest, I can't stand it anymore...... How can I say that Mr. Lin is also a director of TVB, but he can't favor one over the other! ”

Fang Yihua's words sounded like a joke, but after thinking about it carefully, there was a faint hint.

"Haven't TVB and I been working together all the time? Because of this incident, I even offended ATV's Lin Baixin. ”

As soon as Lin Youlun said this, Fang Yihua couldn't help but feel a little angry, but it was hard to say anything, because what Lin Youlun said was also the truth.

"Okay, I won't go around the bend with Mr. Lin anymore...... Chris Patten is here today, I don't need to say it, Mr. Lin should also know what he means, he just wants you to make a choice between being pro-Hong Kong and pro-mainland, and now there is a chance, I don't know if Mr. Lin is interested. ”

"Miss Fang, please speak."

"TVB is recently preparing to co-produce a TV series with the mainland, and the theme and candidates have not yet been decided, in order to express solemnity, Yifu and I hope that Mr. Lin can come forward to preside over this matter."

Lin Youlun didn't want to get too deeply involved in wireless's internal affairs at this time, so he excused himself and said: "Miss Fang's words are serious, I can come up with ideas for this matter, and it is better to find a professional producer to be in charge." ”

"Do you have any suggestions for Mr. Lin now?"

"In cooperation with the mainland, the safest subject matter now is, of course, to shoot ancient dramas, of course, if you want to make the impact bigger, the most convenient is to adapt the four famous novels."

Fang Yihua couldn't help but nod when she heard this, she didn't think about it, but the mainland side of the TV series of the same name of the four famous novels has already been filmed, because of preconceived ideas, the wireless side of the film may not be accepted by the mainland audience.

"If it doesn't work, let's make a sequel." Lin Youlun suddenly thought of a TV series, and casually said this proposal, seeing that Fang Yihua was quite moved, he continued: """Water Margin", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and "Dream of Red Mansions" all have historical backgrounds, and it is not good to change the sequel at will, only "Journey to the West" is a mythological story, and it will not be too controversial to make a sequel. (To be continued......)
