Chapter 52: The Country Needs You

Within a few days, a sensational news was published from a gossip magazine, "The son of a gentleman gambles in Macau, and his father redeems himself with 500 million in cash", and the subtitle is "There have been scandals with many actresses in the circle, and the X family is currently on the verge of bankruptcy" On the cover is a large photo of Liao Xiaohua with a blurred face, and with him, there is a smaller photo of Miss Liu Meiling.

As soon as such news came out, it immediately caused a sensation in Hong Kong's business and entertainment circles. Attentive people still remember the sensational Hong Kong tycoon kidnapping case a year ago, especially the female celebrities who appeared at that time, and when they saw the news again, they quickly understood who they were referring to.

In fact, in recent years, Liao Chengde's career has gradually turned to the mainland, and there is not much business left in Hong Kong, and these people call nothing more than to inquire about the authenticity of the news.

For this kind of greeting, Liao Chengde always responds to a few words in vague words, which makes people more sure that the gossip magazine is the real news.

is different from the business circle, those people in the entertainment industry are very realistic, and soon a female star stood up to refute the rumors, saying that she and the son surnamed Liao were just ordinary friends and had never been in a relationship. Miss Liu Meiling, who is on the cusp of the storm, also held a large-scale press conference, clarifying word by word that she has not had any relationship with any rich family, and she will not dream of marrying into a wealthy family.

In order to clear up her relationship, she even did not hesitate to throw another male star out.

In fact, she is right, there is really nothing between the two, everything before was just a shrewd hype for her, and now the other party has been reduced to an ordinary person, not even an ordinary person, so there is no room for use.

For this kind of news, it comes and goes quickly. Soon, after Liao Xiaohua deliberately appeared several times in despair, the rumors were finally confirmed. People quickly lose interest in all of this, and life goes on.

In this self-directed and self-acting turmoil, Liao's father and son are the people who have gained the most, and the hot and cold world has made Liao Xiaohua grow up overnight, and the characteristics of the playboy in the past can no longer be seen.

He has been locked up at home for months, with nothing to do, except for drinking tea and sleeping every day. From the initial kidnapping to the imbalance of mentality, and then went to Macau with his uncle to gamble, after being seized, he was in a panic, and then one day, Liao Chengde took a thin check and went to the casino in Macau to ransom people.

When he saw Liao Chengde, who was several years old, appear in front of him, Liao Xiaohua's tears flowed out at once, he knew that he had caused too much trouble this time, and it was impossible to pay off even if he went bankrupt, but even so, Liao Chengde still raised enough funds.

Liao Xiaohua knew that Zhong Shi must have made a move behind him, and Liao Xiaohua had not been able to see clearly for this boy who was only fourteen years old. Don't look at the fact that he usually mingles with Zhongyi, and calls him buddies all day long, but for the person named Zhong Shi, he doesn't dare to be so presumptuous, and even has a feeling of timidity in front of him.

All this is not caused by Zhong Shi's momentum or majesty, but his impression of being invincuous and invincible in the financial market, which deeply affects Liao Xiaohua's view of him. He had never seen such a person, who could not change his color in the face of millions or tens of millions of losses, and was still very calm and calm to turn defeat into victory.

Sometimes, he also wonders, how can this child have such a haode psychological quality? Nothing but genius can be explained.

When mortals face geniuses, they will have a deep inferiority complex in their bones.

This time Zhong Shi was able to help, and the money he took out would definitely not be a small amount, although it was only a drop in the bucket for his current net worth, but this must be the favor that Liao Chengdra begged for with his old face, but the favor will always be used up.

What Liao Xiaohua is most afraid of now is that Zhong Shi will suddenly stop taking them to play one day. is used to living a life of fine clothes and fine food, and it is difficult to adapt to the life of ordinary people, which is different from Liao Chengde, Liao Chengde started from extreme poverty all his life, and can eat abalone and fish balls. But if you want Liao Xiaohua to take fish balls as a staple food, it is better to kill him.

But the Liao family doesn't have anything to make Zhong Shi look good.

If you want to talk about money, I'm afraid that the financial resources of the ten Liao families can't catch up with Zhong Shi, if you want to talk about power, Zhong Shi is now in the mainland all the year round, and he can't affect there at all, even those places that don't see the light, I'm afraid even the Liao family can't compare.

To put it bluntly, the Liao family is just a small family that has only risen in recent years.

When the outside world spread the news that Liao Chengdehao made 500 million, Liao Xiaohua was almost scared half to death again, and the bloody human head often appeared in the nightmare of midnight, and he didn't want to come again.

What he didn't know was that during the period of his grounding, Zhong Shi made hundreds of millions of dollars, which was enough to save him ten more times if converted into Hong Kong dollars.

Liao Xiaohua stayed at home so bored, he couldn't go anywhere, almost everyone was like a thief, and someone was staring at him twenty-four hours a day, for fear that he would slip away if he wasn't careful.

When he saw from the TV that the female stars who had extremely cooperated with him in bed and posed for eighteen kinds of martial arts claimed that they had nothing to do with him one by one, the loss in his heart could be imagined. It wasn't until this moment that he thoroughly understood what it was like to be abandoned by Jeon Shijie.

There has never been a moment when he understands the sinister human heart and the coldness of the world.

After cooperating with his father in this shabby play, he suddenly became calm, and he became silent, often sitting alone on the balcony, staying for an afternoon, no one knew what he was thinking.

At the same time, the atmosphere of this home is also low, often during meals, the family is relatively silent, silently eating separately.

All this, until a certain day, was broken by an uninvited person.

"Mr. Liao, hello, I'm Luo Dengtang." On this day, a middle-aged man of medium stature, unremarkable appearance, wearing a pair of black-rimmed wide-rimmed glasses appeared in the living room of the Liao family.

He spoke Mandarin, not vernacular, and had a thick northern accent in his tone.

"Hello! You are ......" Liao Chengde's deliberate rumors during this period of time have played a role, and many old people no longer come to the door, and even many private clubs and other sales clubs no longer call. He was confused about such a person coming to visit.

"I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm the deputy editor-in-chief of Aihua News Agency in Hong Kong......" Luo Dengtang looked at the confusion in Liao Chengde's eyes, respectfully took out his business card, and handed it over with both hands.

"Aihua ......"

Liao Chengde took the business card casually and muttered a few words in his mouth, and suddenly he remembered, isn't this the communication agency set up by the mainland government in Hong Kong!

The main work of this news agency is to copy the telecommunications of the Yenching headquarters and edit them into English and Chinese for distribution to the media in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. Of course, this is superficial work, but in fact this news agency has always been the intelligence agency of the mainland government in Hong Kong, and most of them are professional intelligence officers.

Because the Chinese government would never recognize Hong Kong as a British colony, it was impossible for Huaxia to set up a consulate in Hong Kong, because that would be a good idea. Britain would never agree to the establishment of an office in Hong Kong by the Chinese government, because this would very likely lead to the emergence of two centers of power in Hong Kong, and in this way, such an organization as the Hong Kong branch of the Aihua Society would become a quasi-official channel for communication and negotiation between the two sides.

The reason why Liao Chengde knew these things was because not long ago, the former director of this news agency secretly went to the United States without saying goodbye. The incident was revealed by the media in Hong Kong, causing a huge sensation in the entire Hong Kong society.

Approaching the return to the motherland, every action of Yanjing about Hong Kong affects the hearts of Hong Kong people. Many people don't know what the future holds, and in this case, after such an incident, the pro-British media will naturally hype it up.

Liao Chengde was stunned, his hand holding the business card stopped in mid-air, and he didn't know what to do for a while. He didn't understand how such an organization could find him.

"What? Don't you want me to come in and sit down? Luo Dengtang smiled slightly, and politely reminded Liao Chengde, who had lost his mind.

"Oh...... Oh...... Please come in, please come in! ”

Liao Chengde, who came back to his senses, hurriedly put the business card into his close-fitting shirt, then stretched out two hands, shook Luo Dengtang vigorously, and personally introduced him into the study.

Liao Chengde's study is about 20 square meters, with a pineapple desk, two rattan rocking chairs, and a bookshelf against the wall full of various books, but he has never read most of these books, and they are just placed here as a façade.

After the two sides sat down, Liao Chengde first said a few polite words, and then asked cautiously: "I don't know if Mr. Luo came this time, what advice do you have?" ”

At this time, his attitude was extremely humble, his hands were twisted together, his body sat up straight, and he even leaned forward a little, looking humbly asking for advice.

"Mr. Liao is serious, you are a famous patriot, how dare I advise! I don't know if it's convenient to talk here? Luo Dengtang snorted, looked around, and then asked solemnly.

"Convenient, convenient." Liao Chengde walked out and ordered a few words, and when he came back, he locked the study, and then nodded, and replied with some relief.

Like this Mr. Luo, what he has to say must be inconvenient for outsiders to know, Liao Chengde was careful, and specially ordered his subordinates to guard the door and not let anyone disturb him.

"Mr. Liao, that's the case, maybe the country needs you to do something, I don't know what you think?"

Luo Dengtang was silent for a moment, and suddenly said something that shocked Liao Chengde.
