After getting out of the elevator, Zhou Xingchi still had a gloomy face, but when he arrived at the door of the banquet hall, he immediately changed his expression.

After leaving their names in the signature of the guests, Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda each gave a gift before walking into the hall.

Seeing Zhong Chuhong standing over there to greet the guests, Zhou Xingchi gave Wu Mengda a look, Wu Mengda nodded knowingly, and took the initiative to walk up.

"Oops, Honggu, congratulations!"

Wu Mengda and Zhong Chuhong knew each other in their early years when they were wireless, although they were not too familiar, but they could talk on this occasion.

Zhong Chuhong turned his head, and his eyes were full of surprise.

"Uncle Da, are you alone?"

"Of course not, I'm here with Xingzai." Wu Mengda went in the direction of Zhou Xingchi Station.

Seeing Zhong Chuhong's gaze, Zhou Xingchi immediately put on a smiling face and nodded politely to this side.

"I'm really grateful for you guys to come." Zhong Chuhong also returned the salute politely.

"Aunt Hong, what are you talking about, we should be here." Wu Mengda said very politely, but his eyes were a little fluttering when he spoke.

Zhong Chuhong quickly noticed this, and then immediately guessed who he was looking for.

"Mr. Li Jiacheng came over just now, and he was talking with Mr. Li over there...... If you have something to do with him, you may have to wait a while. ”

The idea was broken by Zhong Chuhong, Wu Mengda couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "There is nothing particularly important, I just want to say hello to Mr. Lin here, otherwise it is not very polite." ”

"I don't know how long they're going to talk. Otherwise, I'll tell you. You guys go in first? Zhong Chuhong proposed.

Lin Youlun and Li Jiacheng don't know how long they will talk. Standing at the door and waiting for him to come back is not a problem, Wu Mengda hesitated slightly, and then agreed.

——

In a lounge next to the banquet hall, the door was tightly guarded by two black-clad bodyguards.

"Lin Sheng, I have brought you good news today." Li Jiacheng leaned on the back of the comfortable leather sofa, and his expression looked relaxed.

"Mr. Li can come to the little girl's first birthday banquet, I think this is already good news." Lin Youlun sat on the sofa opposite with stilts, playing with a cigar in his hand. He didn't seem interested in the good news that Li Jiacheng had said.

"Luo Yanfang disappeared in Thailand last month, and I just received news yesterday that her body has just been found by the Thai police, and it is preliminarily determined that she was kidnapped and torn up her ticket." Li Jiacheng didn't care about Lin Youlun diverting the topic, and still said the incident.

As soon as Luo Yanfang died, everything about Zhang Ziqiang's kidnapping case was settled.

Lin Youlun raised his head and glanced at Li Jiacheng, his eyes were deep, and he couldn't see joy and sorrow.

"Didn't Mr. Li find someone to do it?"

Li Jiacheng shrugged and denied Lin Youlun's speculation.

"She chose the road by herself, and now she can only blame herself for being too greedy."

Lin Youlun took out the lighter. Just as he was about to light the cigar in his hand, the door to the lounge was suddenly pushed open. Assistant Applejack barged in, leaned over to his ear in a hurry, and whispered a few words.

Seeing Lin Youlun's slightly moved expression, Li Jiacheng was also very curious about what could make him have such a reaction.

"Mr. Li, I'm afraid I have to lose company, there are two important guests, I have to go and greet some in person." Lin Youlun stood up and explained to Li Jiacheng with some regret.

"Mr. Lin, please."

Li Jiacheng raised his hand and looked at the back of Lin Youlun turning around and going out, not only did his eyes show a thoughtful look.

The guests who can make Lin Youlun attach so much importance and even have to greet them in person must be very prominent, and such a person can be counted on one hand in Hong Kong.

Li Jiacheng was curious, but he was not in a hurry to inquire, because when he arrived at the banquet, everything would be clear.

——

Lin Youlun walked out of the lounge quickly, and when he met acquaintances along the way, he just nodded casually, and others could see that he was in a hurry to go out, but no one came to say hello.

"I don't think I ever sent an invitation to the Governor's Palace, why did Chris Patten come?" Out of the banquet hall, Lin Youlun asked in a low voice.

For the British governor of Hong Kong, who only took office in July, Lin Youlun can be said to be deeply impressed.

Unlike the previous Governor of Hong Kong, Chris Patten is the only Catholic Governor of Hong Kong, and he is also one of the few Governors of Hong Kong who is not from the British Foreign Office, but from the British Parliament, because his body is slightly fatter and his Chinese translation is very Chinese, so after taking office, the market and even the media nicknamed him "Fat Peng".

In Lin Youlun's impression, it was the last governor of Hong Kong who made the issue of Hong Kong's return to the motherland make waves again, and his first ruling report after taking office proposed the reform of the separation of the two bureaus and the direct election of the people, in order to speed up the process of democratization in Hong Kong, but these practices violated the consensus reached between China and Britain on the Hong Kong issue, which caused the central government of the mainland to be very dissatisfied, and the relationship between Hong Kong and the mainland was also tense for a time.

Before Hong Kong's return to the motherland, Chris Patten appeared as a negative figure in the eyes of the mainland government, and was even rebuked by the then director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office as a "sinner for the ages", but it was this Patten who made a lot of efforts to develop further economic cooperation between China and the EU during his tenure as governor of Hong Kong as an EU official, and even turned into an old friend of the Chinese people.

Judging by his capricious political stance, this man is an out-and-out politician.

Lin Youlun knows very well in his heart that Patten's intention to implement the so-called democratic reform in Hong Kong is not really for the Hong Kong people, and his purpose is nothing more than to plunge Hong Kong into greater chaos after its return to the motherland, which can be said to be harboring evil intentions.

Lin Youlun didn't attend the ceremony of Patten being appointed governor of Hong Kong, because he didn't want to have anything to do with this person, but the problem is that now the other party has taken the initiative to come to the door, and he can't hide if he wants to.

"I don't know about this, but the office of the Governor's Palace suddenly called me, only saying that the Governor was coming over for a banquet, and people were already on the way." Applejack trotted all the way to keep up with Lin Youlun's footsteps, and she couldn't help but be a little out of breath when she spoke.

"Engaging in this kind of surprise attack, I'm afraid you don't want to let us know in advance!" Lin Youlun snorted coldly, and couldn't help but scold in his mouth: "Damn British! ”

Applejack has been by Lin Youlun's side for a long time, and he has long been accustomed to this kind of "out-of-line" remarks, what words should be remembered in his heart, and what words should be forgotten immediately after listening, he has a score in his heart.

The two took the elevator to the downstairs hall, but were caught off guard by the situation in the lobby.

The reporters who were stopped at the door all entered the lobby, and a podium was temporarily set up in front of the main station, and Patten in a suit was giving a temporary speech very passionately on the stage, and the flashing lights under the stage were lit up from time to time.

"Our Mr. Governor is really dedicated, and he doesn't forget to show his people-friendly style at this time." If you didn't pay attention to Lin Youlun's expression, you would really think that he was praising Peng Dingkang, but in fact, his face was gloomy at this moment.

Ajie was standing next to Lin Youlun, and he could naturally see the chill from the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and he didn't dare to say much at this time.

The reporters' attention was focused on Patten, but no one immediately noticed Lin Youlun's arrival, and the bodyguards who were responsible for maintaining order at the scene noticed Lin Youlun as soon as possible.

The person in charge walked quickly in front of Lin Youlun, and before he could explain, he was already stared at by Lin Youlun's gloomy eyes.

"Who told you to let these reporters in?"

The person in charge of the military was not good at explaining, and lowered his head and said, "It's the lobby manager of the hotel." ”

"Go and call him."

Lin Youlun didn't embarrass the person in charge, but the lobby manager of the hotel was unlucky, this guy didn't figure out the situation stupidly when he came over, and he actually showed Lin Youlun his arrangement with a proud face.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Hong Kong Governor has come to attend your daughter's first birthday banquet, why didn't you tell us such news before? If Mr. Governor of Chi Lung Dao is coming, our hotel will definitely make more careful arrangements......"

"Are you done?"

Lin Youlun raised his eyes, and his cold eyes immediately made the hotel lobby manager feel bad.

"Who did I invite, do you need to tell you specifically?"

The lobby manager was frightened and was about to explain, but Lin Youlun then asked: "This is my daughter's private banquet, who asked you to put all the reporters in?" ”

"Mr. Lam, Mr. Governor's secretary came to me and said that he wanted to make it easier for reporters to conduct interviews, so I ......"

"I got out of your hotel and that's how you do it?" Lin Youlun looked at the hotel lobby manager coldly, "You love Mr. Hong Kong Governor so much, does your boss know how to do it?" ”

The lobby manager stood there at a loss, with a cold sweat on his back, and he didn't know how to explain it.

"I'll talk to your boss about this personally...... I hope he is a big fan of Mr. Governor like you! ”

Lin Youlun glanced at the lobby manager, didn't have time to pay attention to this guy, turned his head to the security person in charge standing aside and said, "I'll give you three minutes to drive all these reporters out of the city!" ”

When the lobby manager heard that Lin Youlun was going to sabotage Patten's speech, his face suddenly changed in fright.

Without saying a word, the head of security from Hongyan Company was about to carry out Lin Youlun's order, and Applejack hurriedly stopped him.

After all, Chris Patten is the governor of Hong Kong, and he has to save some face no matter what, and if he directly expells the reporter, it will be tantamount to slapping the other party in the face, which is not wise.

Lin Youlun glanced at Chris Patten, who was giving a passionate speech over there, and agreed with Ajie's statement.

"Well, then I'll go and meet our Governor for a while!" (To be continued......)
