Chapter Ninety-Four: Preparing to Return to Shanghai
Because of Li Tie's extraordinary special relationship with the two crown princes, the day after the crown prince returned, Li Tie was invited to a banquet by the upper class society in Hong Kong.
In line with many friends and multiple paths, and also to attract the attention of all walks of life in Hong Kong, Li Tie has not been sober for almost half a month, and he has drunk every day, living a life like a drunken gold fan.
In the past, everyone just thought that Li Tie was a very rich lord, but after more than half a month of drinking and socializing, everyone who knew Li Tie gave a thumbs up.
They all praised Li Tie for being righteous, anxious for justice and righteousness, young and golden, knowledgeable, extraordinary, and humorous. In short, Li Tie's high-end and high-grade image has been deeply rooted in the hearts of celebrities from all walks of life in Hong Kong.
It can be said that it was precisely this exchange between Li Tie and people from all walks of life in Hong Kong that finally laid a solid foundation for Li Tie to monopolize Hong Kong in the future.
Fortunately, after receiving the report from Hei Da that all the gold and treasures in the warship had been safely transferred, Li Tie finally had a reason to refrain from the countless banquets.
Because of the huge benefits from this trip to Hong Kong, Li Tie, who stayed in Hong Kong for more than a month, finally decided to return to Shanghai.
When friends from all walks of life in Hong Kong learned that Li Tie was going to return to Shanghai, Governor Jin and the two crown princes personally came to Huaxing Industrial City to see Li Tie off.
The three also promised that on the day Li Tie left Hong Kong, they would definitely let Li Tie leave in style, and at the same time, the two crown princes also invited Li Tie. I hope that one day Li Tie can visit the UK, and the two brothers Edward and George will definitely treat Li Tie well.
A few days later, Li Tie and his men finally boarded a merchant ship returning to Hong Kong. At this time, the scene of thousands of people coming to see them off on the pier was quite spectacular.
No one could have imagined that so many people would come to see off Li Tie and his businessmen when they left Hong Kong, and the dock was obviously divided into several different camps.
Governor King led hundreds of staff members of the Hong Kong Governor's Office, surrounded by consular counsellors from major consulates, and at the head of the team were Edward and George, the two British crown princes. Coupled with the soldiers and political dignitaries who were protected by him, there were hundreds of people in this team.
There is also a farewell procession of hundreds or thousands of people, which is Qi Dehai, a group of representatives of Huaxing Industrial City led by Li Moran, and there are more than a few hundred factory directors and gang elders. In addition, the gang to maintain order is a few hundred people.
The two people closest to Li Tie alone stood in all the open space on the wharf, and in the distance were thousands of Hong Kong people who had come to join in the fun. There are also hundreds of reporters from various newspapers interspersed with it, constantly searching for news materials.
Li Tie just waved his hand towards the dock, and before he could say a word of goodbye, he heard an earth-shattering cheer from the dock.
No matter which camp it is, whether they know each other or not, all the people who came to see off Li Tie couldn't help but shout out their inner cheers when they saw Li Tie's waving gesture.
Dozens of farewell salutes rang out at the pier. For the first time in so many years, the Hong Kong government has fired a 36-gun salute for the departure of a certain person.
Watching Li Tie's ship move away from the dock step by step, the military band on the pier played the music more cheerfully. Governor Jin sighed with tears in his eyes: "Li Tie is really a good person. He was a friend of our British Empire. We must cherish friends like him. ”
Edward and George next to him also nodded incessantly, and Edward said in admiration: "His knowledge and his gentlemanly demeanor deeply impressed me." I did not expect that there would be such a young wise man as him in the backward ancient country of the East, and I was ready to ask him for credit, and I would also ask my father to confer on him the knighthood of a baron. ”
"Edward, you're too slammed in Chinese. The good and bad people can be regarded as helping us, and it is the way he came up with to make us the heroes of this hostage incident, which can be said to save the face of our British Empire and enhance the image of our royal family.
You know, if the miserable face we had when we first got off the ship were to be exposed, it would definitely damage the image of our royal family and the prestige of our British Empire.
You and I will also because of this matter, and even the succession to the throne may become a problem, so it can be said that this is equivalent to saving our lives, so I think it is a bit too bad to give Li Tie a baron. George said.
"And what kind of title should we ask for for him?" Edward asked.
"You also know how much it costs to rebuild Victoria Harbour. You should know that Li Tie has invested a lot of money for Hong Kong. So I think we should ask for at least an actual viscount title for him. "George is very generous, and as soon as he makes a move, he is a viscount with a very high status in England.
"That's impossible, the Empire's titles are never issued randomly. The viscount is a real lord with a fief. If he is given a viscount, then where is the fief for him? Edward was surprised.
"Hehe, Edward, you are really smart, you are confused for a while, now there are overseas colonies of the empire, and there are countless places under the rule of our colonies that are preparing to break away.
We could have given him some colonies that we couldn't preserve. As for the colonial rebellion in the future, Li Tie lost his fiefdom and had nothing to do with our British Empire. ”
"Oh, George, you're really lacking in virtue of this idea. I don't think you can come up with such a trick. ”
"My dear Brother Edward, this trip around the world has taught me a great deal. The world is full of dangers, and there are people with sinister intentions everywhere.
I have gained a new understanding of the human heart, so please forgive me for the change. Although I think my change is good and mature. But I still have to apologize for the unpleasantness caused by my change. After all, we are gentlemen, and gentlemen should apologize for causing inconvenience to others. ”
Governor Kim, who was standing next to him and heard the conversation between the two crown princes, muttered disdainfully: "Hmph, hypocritical gentleman." ”
Just as Li Tie was returning to Shanghai, Shanghai's Huaxing Hospital and Huaxing Pharmaceutical Factory had also officially opened for operation. Although Li Tie was not present on the opening day, he was with the appeal of the Thousand Tailed Scorpion and the Axe Gang. With the status of Huaxing Foreign Bank in Shanghai today, the people who came to congratulate were still crowded.
Especially when the celebrities from all walks of life in Shanghai who came to congratulate the driver saw the two beauties of Thousand Tails Scorpion and Xu Meiqi entertaining the guests in person.
Although on the surface, everyone is as polite as a gentleman. But in fact, behind the scenes, everyone gathered in groups of three or five, and they were all envious of Li Tie's Yanfu.
Having a beautiful thousand-tailed scorpion is enough to make everyone envious, although no one dares to touch this thorny rose so far, but it can't stop everyone's coquettish heart in secret.
Look at the great beauty Xu Meiqi who does not eat fireworks in the world, these two beauties give everyone the feeling that the thousand-tailed scorpion is as passionate as fire, and Xu Meiqi is indeed cold and glamorous as ice.
Thinking of Li Tie living a happy life of ice and fire every day, many of the guests present were envious to death.
During the banquet, the two beauties admired each other on the surface, but in fact, they competed with each other, which made the guests present fascinated.
Under the impetus of well-intentioned people, overnight, the rumors of a jealous fight between the thousand-tailed scorpion and Xu Meiqi for Li Tie filled the entire Shanghai beach.
Although it has not yet reached the level of women and children, it is no secret in Shanghai's high society. I don't know who leaked all the news that Li Tie publicly showed his love to Xu Meiqi at Tongji University, and helped Xu's father solve the danger of bankruptcy. Now with the help of Li Tieyuan, he is in charge of Huaxing Hospital and Huaxing Pharmaceutical Factory, so Xu Meiqi will become Li Tie's first lady, which has become the most exciting news in Shanghai at present.
And Xu Meiqi, who was the first to know the news as the person concerned, didn't take it to heart at all, she is now bent on doing a good job in hospitals and pharmaceutical factories, so the rumors from the outside world have little impact on her.
But the thousand-tailed scorpion can't. In the end, she has a hot temper, and she thinks she is Li Tie's future eldest wife, and now there are people who want to take the lead, of course she doesn't agree.
The thousand-tailed scorpion wanted to trouble Xu Meiqi several times, but Sister Yuhong stopped her. Even the black killer kept persuading her, and no one knew the real relationship between Xu Meiqi and her uncle. It's better to wait for Li Tie to come back and ask him in person.
Besides, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and the aunt really shouldn't be a little daughter. Aunt Qian should show her mind to be an eldest woman. The most important thing is to obey Li Tie's clothes, and not to let people like Xu Meiqi rob her of her position in Li Tie's heart in the future.
The thousand-tailed scorpion is a very traditional woman. She really couldn't help it, and no longer went to Xu Meiqi's trouble, but concentrated on dealing with some related business of the Axe Gang and Huaxing Foreign Bank.
It's just that the fire in my heart hasn't come out, and my temper has been a little big lately. At every turn, a few darts are sent to people who don't like the eyes, and these days, the hooligans, scoundrels, and unlucky ghosts who are injured under the thousand-tailed scorpion darts have reached dozens of people.
In short, in just a few days, Shanghai Tang has been circulated, and when you meet a thousand tails, please detour.
On this morning, after the thousand-tailed scorpion learned from Sister Yuhong that Li Tie was going to arrive in Shanghai in the afternoon, the thousand-tailed scorpion finally showed a rare smile that she hadn't seen for a long time, and she decided to take Yuhong to the shopping mall, buy a few beautiful clothes, and dress up well to welcome Li Tie's return.
