The day has finally come!

got up early in the morning, answered his call, and tossed and turned Li Jiaxin, who had just fallen asleep in the middle of the night, although he was very tired, he didn't have much sleep.

Get up and freshen up, then sit at the dresser and look at your reflection in the mirror.

If it took the Creator a day to create humanity, then the Creator must have loved this work of art of his own, and even spent thousands of days carving it to create a flawless masterpiece.

The slightly pale face can hardly hide the charm of the master, no matter what words are used to describe the delicate facial features and facial lines that always feel a little worse, from her most hated alcoholic father, inherited from her mother, has always been her pride. Although the bright eyes with two tails and curved eyebrows have a touch of gloomy sentimentality at this time, they look very cute and pitiful, and they can't wait to hold them in their arms and love them well. Just look closely, you will find that there seems to be a kind of perseverance in her eyes, which makes people understand that this is a woman who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside.

"Why don't you get a good night's sleep when you wake up so early?"

Walking with the sound of footsteps is my sister Li Jiaming, since the media suddenly exposed that her boyfriend Lin Xiaozhi had another lover outside two days ago, she had nowhere to go because she was afraid that her mother would worry about her, so she didn't even go back home. Fortunately, her sister Li Jiaming recently bought a new house and moved out to live on her own, which saved her from not having a place to go.

"Sister, are you up?"

Li Jiaxin twitched his sour nose and reluctantly made a smiling expression. She tried to get up, but she pressed her sister on the shoulder and still let her sit in front of the dresser, but she affectionately pressed her head next to the side of her face.

"Is he coming to pick you up?" Li Jiaming looked at her sister in the mirror with slightly dark eyes, "I didn't sleep last night, I obviously asked you to come with me!" ”

She picked up a box of foundation from the table that she used, not a well-known brand, unlike her sister who wore a famous brand. After graduating from secondary school, she worked early after graduating from secondary school for several years, and she worked hard in society for a few years, and she knew how hard it was to make money, but Li Jiaxin, who had a stronger personality, participated in the Hong Kong sister beauty pageant and entered the entertainment industry after graduation, and successively under the protection of Ni Zhen, especially Lin Xiaozhi, she almost didn't suffer much and earned a wealth that others could hardly imagine in their lifetime, so she loves shopping and sweeping goods, and she has always been a famous brand. She would definitely not use such cosmetics in normal times. But at this moment, her sister gently put a light powder makeup on her near the eye circles to try to cover up the dark circles, but Li Jiaxin did not object at all, but moved her head so that she could lean on her sister behind her, and even the smile on her face really became tangible.

Rubbing powder, drawing eyebrows, trimming eyelashes, and putting a faint layer of light-colored lipstick on her lips, Li Jiaming quickly put on a light makeup for her, and then looked at her sister in the mirror with satisfaction, and smiled slightly, "Xin Xin is the most beautiful, and she will always be my little princess with Mommy!" ”

Her words made Li Jiaxin's body tremble, and she snorted again, and it took a lot of effort to hold back the straight tears, and asked, "Mom...... Do you know the way? ”

Li Jiaming, who had just picked up the comb on the dresser and was about to help her comb her hair, stopped moving when she heard the sound, and was silent for a while before nodding and saying, "What can I hide from her!" ”

After a pause, she was obviously a little hesitant, as if she had something in her heart, but after hesitating for a moment, she said it: "She wanted to come over to accompany you the day before yesterday, but she also knew that your stubborn temper didn't come." She asked me last night if you were feeling better, she ...... She also said don't grieve yourself......"

Which family's parents don't care for their children, thinking that their mother wants to be strong in order to take care of her, they deliberately pretend not to know the way, and only care about her silently in secret.

"He called me just now and said that he would pick me up and take me back to the Lin Mansion immediately!" Li Jiaxin tried his best to say in a flat voice, but he still couldn't control it, and there was still some trilling in his words, "It's really strange, I obviously want to cry to death, but I am sad but relieved, I am not as sad as I imagined!" ”

Yes, even she thought that if her boyfriend really entangled with other women behind her back, she would have to be heartbroken, cry profusely, and then find it difficult to choose whether to leave or continue to stay by his side.

But a few days ago, it was suddenly exposed by the media that Lin Xiaozhi had another woman outside, and he might even have an illegitimate child. On the first day, she cried so much that she didn't even answer many calls from him, until he drove to find her in person, and after being silent for a while, she told herself not to be exposed in front of people for a few days; The next day, she was still in a sad mood, and she had already recognized the woman in the photo, who was the female secretary who she had been questioning for being too close to Lin Xiaozhi; On the third day, her melancholy mood was much better, and she even took the initiative to ask her sister to help her buy some latest newspapers and weekly magazines to pay attention to the latest situation.

Maybe it's because she was sad about this in advance in the middle of the year, or maybe her previous boyfriend's promise in the movie theater made her try to get used to such a day, so when it came, Li Jiaxin also noticed that she was not as sad as she imagined.

"If you don't want to go, don't go." Li Jiaming helped her comb her hair, but her eyes stared at the expression on her sister's face through the mirror, what disappointed her was that she couldn't see other emotions on Li Jiaxin's flat face, and hesitated for a moment before saying: "Otherwise, when he comes to pick you up, I'll refuse him!" ”

“…… No, I'll ......" There was a short silence, but then a firm answer was ushered in, Li Jiaxin raised her head and looked at her gaze through the mirror, with a familiar stubbornness in her eyes: "Let me just admit it and lose, I am not willing to ......"

My sister's stubborn answer as usual made her happy and worried for a moment, happy that the sudden outbreak of emotional crisis did not break her, but she also began to worry about whether this stubborn persistence would make her hurt more than before.

I wanted to persuade her, but when the words came to her mouth, she still couldn't say it, so she could only quietly help her comb her hair, once or twice......

Lin Jili sits in the central position, don't look at him now that he has resigned as chairman of the Kowloon Bank and handed over the bank to his second grandson Lin Xiaozhi to manage. But the old man, as the pioneer and founder of the Lin family's glory today, has accumulated power for many years, so that he does not take the initiative to speak at the dinner table, and others are just silent and eat separately.

Picking up the newly sent ginseng soup from the Filipino maid in front of him, Lin Jili only scooped a spoonful and put it down, his most proud grandson Lin Xiaozhi, who was silent with a face, and his quasi-granddaughter-in-law Li Jiaxin, who was sitting next to him and rarely moved chopsticks, stayed for a while, frowned slightly, and looked at his eldest grandson Lin Xiaoyi and granddaughter-in-law Wang Xiaoman, who were sitting opposite the two, and said, "Ayi, have you felt better recently?" ”

The only son, Lin Jiannian, and the eldest grandson, Lin Xiaoyi, experienced a car accident last year, and the only thing that is fortunate is that although the two were seriously injured, they were free to die. Although both of them were severely injured in the car accident, unlike the eldest son Lin Jiannian, who is still receiving medical treatment in the United States, the eldest grandson Lin Xiaoyi, who has recovered well, has been taken back to Hong Kong at the beginning of the year, and after more than half a year of rehabilitation, although he can only rely on a wheelchair to move, but recently his rehabilitation experts have begun to train him to walk on crutches out of a wheelchair.

His wife Wang Xiaoman wiped the soup stains on the corner of his mouth for him, Lin Xiaoyi smiled at her and nodded, before replying: "It's much better, thanks to the guidance of the rehabilitation experts that Achi helped me from the NBA, I can recover so quickly." Now I can walk three or four hundred meters with crutches. Receiving a restorative massage of my leg muscles every day, according to the doctors, maybe in a few years I will be able to walk without crutches and wheelchairs! ”

After speaking, he also smiled gratefully at his younger brother Lin Xiaozhi. And Lin Xiaozhi only replied with a reluctant smile, he just remembered that a big domestic star in the future suffered a serious leg bone injury while filming, and was once diagnosed that he may be inseparable from a wheelchair for the rest of his life, and then he invited a retired team doctor from a team in the NBA to be his rehabilitation guidance expert, and it took less than a year to recover the ability to walk freely. The U.S. basketball team has a high level of competition, and it is not uncommon for players to get injured, so a large group of experts who are proficient in medical skills and health care knowledge are brought together to serve as team doctors in each team.

Of course, the reason why his eldest brother Lin Xiaoyi was able to recover so quickly was mainly because the Lin family was willing to spend money for him. It is conservatively estimated that in the past year or so, he and the Lin family have spent no less than 20 million US dollars in high medical expenses for the two fathers and sons, and several authoritative orthopedic experts in Hong Kong are almost on call.

"That's good, that's good!" Lin Jili was very relieved when he heard this, he was already old, and now he didn't even care about the family business, and he hoped that his children and grandchildren would be healthy and his family would be harmonious. So when I heard that my eldest grandson was recovering well, I was indescribably happy.

"I'm going to have a party with a few old friends of the Jockey Club in two days, so you can come with me when the time comes, and I'll introduce you to a few friends from the political circles!"

Lin Jili's sudden unobtrusive words made several people stunned, Lin Xiaozhi's mind turned the fastest, seeing the old man peeking at him from time to time, although there was a smile on his face, he couldn't hide his worry in the depths of his eyes, and after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly understood what the old man meant.

He has the intention of letting his eldest grandson, who is beginning to recover, enter the political arena and give up competing with his increasingly powerful self for the Lin family's industry.

It is not unreasonable for the old man to have this kind of worry, and the most important industry of the Lin family is undoubtedly the Kowloon Bank. Although Lin Xiaozhi of Kowloon Bank only focuses on wealth and rarely directly intervenes in management, Song Nianhui, the president of the bank, is his confidant. Moreover, the previous rounds of strong cleanup of the shareholders of the Bank of Kowloon were out, and those were the old man's former friends and his juniors, who somewhat rejected his face, and also made the old man start to worry about how to settle this problem after Lin Xiaoyi recovered, after all, he was only in his thirties and in the prime of life, and the days to come were still long.

This is indeed a difficult problem, and Lin Xiaozhi has not considered it yet. But it was broken a little bit by the old man today, and he began to think about it.

He is really reluctant to let Lin Xiaoyi return to the Bank of Kowloon, there are too many places to spend his money, and having Song Nianhui in the Bank of Kowloon is no different from his own business, but if the eldest brother comes back, not to mention that there may be more risks when using money normally, just how to place him is a big problem. After all, it is his eldest brother, so it is not appropriate for him to be the general manager, and the most suitable position is the president......

His brows also furrowed, and Lin Xiaozhi felt that his eldest brother, who had recovered quickly, had really become a hot potato, and before he had thought of a complete strategy, maybe the old man wanted him to enter the political arena, which was also a good choice.

"Jockey Club? Is grandpa going to introduce Li Pengfei to his eldest brother? ”

The Lin family is a banker, but they know many politicians, and the one with whom the Lin family has the best relationship is Li Pengfei, the chief member of the Legislative Council, who is also a member of the Jockey Club.

Lin Jili nodded but didn't mean to say more, but Lin Xiaozhi frowned.

He knew Li Pengfei a few years ago, he was the chairman of the Broadcasting Affairs Administration, and the film and television department that examines film and television works was under his management before, and he also got a lot of help from him when he contacted him through the old man's line. But although there were many opportunities to get close to the chief member of the Legislative Council, Lin Xiaozhi did not take the initiative to ask him once except for running errands, which is completely inconsistent with his usual style.

There was no way, he was ready to take the pro-mainland route, so he decided that he absolutely could not get too close to Li Pengfei. Because although this guy is not as strong as Hong Kong's famous 'dog traitor politician Lee Chu-ming' in attacking the mainland, he is also a standard opportunistic politician. In the past few years, his position was pro-Taiwan and not ****, but in recent years, his position has been pro-British ****, don't look at the enjoyment of his scolding of the mainland in the past two years, in the future, Hong Kong will return to the mainland, even if he is not liquidated, his political life will not be long, and it is not a good thing to get too close to him.

Originally, he was not suitable to say this kind of thing, but Lin Xiaozhi endured it for a while and thought about it and then said: "Grandpa, don't get too close to Li Pengfei and them, it's not good to ......."

Lin Jili was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't get angry when he looked at his grandson, who was becoming more and more assertive, but asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"At the end of last year, rumors began in Hong Kong that the newly appointed British Prime Minister John Mackor Ma was very dissatisfied with the current pro-mainland Hong Kong Governor Wilson and was ready to replace the new governor with a tough attitude towards the mainland. I have been given definite information that London has already begun to select people. The most vocal and most likely successor to Wilson is Environment Secretary Chris Patten, a well-known hawkish politician in Britain, whose governorship would inevitably lead to a more violent political conflict in Hong Kong before the handover. A politician like Li Pengfei will definitely stand on the side of the Hong Kong government at that time, and if our Lin family gets too close to him, we will also be liquidated to his side, and my painstaking efforts over the past year will be in vain. ”

If you want to say it, let's just make it all clear at once. With this awareness, and also found that Li Jiaxin, who had been silent and silent, was also paying attention to him, Lin Xiaozhi temporarily decided to give his family a breath of air for the layout of the past year.

"No matter how much trouble those politicians make, at most they are just giving Beijing a shot in the eye, and if they make a big fuss, they will inevitably be liquidated in the future. Now all Hong Kong people are betting on the return, because the discerning people can see that if the bet is right, it will be a hundred years of wealth. What is ridiculous is that most politicians, including Li Pengfei, have made the wrong bet, and it is too much to grasp the strength of the trick of relying on foreign countries to gain self-respect, and not to look at the fact that they have been very happy with the mainland in the past two years, I can say with great certainty that when the Legislative Council is changed in '93, even if the British want to protect it, they will have to throw away half of their chess pieces when Beijing is angry. ”

Lin Jili's eyes narrowed, "Why are you so sure?" Beijing has made a promise that one country, two systems, and Hong Kong people will govern Hong Kong, and it will remain unchanged for a hundred years! ”

Indeed, Deng Gongxiong was a man of great talent and strategy, and he put forward this principle of one country, two systems with great foresight in those years to prepare for the settlement of the Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan issues, and whether Taiwan Province could take it back without a big fight and put it aside for the first time; with regard to Macao and Hong Kong, this principle of one country, two systems has indeed scratched the itch between Western society and Hong Kong and Macao, and has cleared many obstacles for the return of the two places.

Although this 'policy' is regarded as a sword by many politicians in Hong Kong, they believe that as long as the mainland still maintains the integrity of a major country, it will definitely not be able to go back, so no matter how much they make trouble with Beijing, they will not be able to control them, because they are Hong Kong people, so in the past few years, so many politicians have constantly jumped out to criticize the mainland, and even the media have named Zhongnanhai bigwigs to scold. However, I am afraid that they were able to understand Deng Gong's political methods only in the year of their return.

Lin Xiaozhi smiled coldly, and spit out four words: "Double check plan!" ”

As soon as the words came out, Li Jiaxin, Lin Xiaoyi, Wang Xiaoman, Fu Bo and others didn't understand what they meant, but the old man immediately understood what he meant.

In 1986, the 190-member political plan led by the Democratic Party centered around the issue of the future 'Hong Kong Chief Executive' and the 'Legislative Council', and London, Hong Kong, and Beijing fought until the handover. The "Double Investigation Plan" is a future political plan born during this period, and although everyone in Hong Kong once called for it, this plan almost represents Beijing's ideas, and almost puts the appointment of the chief executive and the Legislative Council in Beijing's hands.

"We don't need to think much about whether the double check plan is Beijing's meaning, but I dare to pack the ticket for the appointment of the chief executive, whether the British can take it away, it depends on Beijing's meaning. As for the future composition of the Legislative Council, if Hong Kong and Britain can cram half of the people into it, it will be a victory. What if you are not satisfied, will London dare not return Hong Kong after 97 years? Neither Britain nor China are nuclear powers, and unless a nuclear war is prepared between the two countries, no one will be able to stop Hong Kong's return to the motherland. ”

"You can despise the poverty of the mainland now, but I have personally traveled north, and I have seen with my own eyes the thriving business opportunities under that land in the north, and I have also seen the determination of a billion people who desperately want to become rich. Today, Hong Kong does have the capital to rely on the economic size of a city equivalent to one-third or a quarter of that of the mainland (Hong Kong's GDP was US$88.9 billion in 1991, compared to US$379.4 billion on the mainland), but in another ten years, it may be a miracle that it will be able to maintain one-tenth of it. No matter how poor the mainland is, it has land and resources far beyond Hong Kong's, and it has a sound industrial and commercial foundation, and all they need is the technology and capital to develop the economy. So I put my bet on Beijing and the mainland, and I bet that I would get much more by taking the pro-communist line than by confronting the mainland! ”

Lin Xiaozhi's mouth was dry, and it also made Lin Jili's eyes brighter and more satisfied when he looked at his second grandson.

He looked at Lin Xiaozhi, who was bowing his head and drinking water, and then looked at Li Jiaxin, who had not spoken next to her, and suddenly said: "Ah Zhi, you are also thirty this year, and it is almost time to give Xin Xin an explanation." I heard Xiaoman say before that you originally planned to get married at the end of the year, I think it's very good, it's better for grandpa to make a decision for the two of you today, and pick a time to do the wedding next month! "Confessed to his meaning.
