"Wife, don't worry, I now earn 3,500 yuan a month...... It's Hong Kong dollars, and there are hundreds of dollars in exchange for the mainland, and the boss said that the salary will rise after half a year...... Yes, the boss is a very nice person and advanced my salary for two months...... I have already sent the money back, you pay attention to check it, Dad's illness must not be delayed...... Don't worry about me, I'll go back until the Chinese New Year, and our house can be built into a big tiled house......"

Zhang Degong was hiding in the corner and making long-distance calls, when he suddenly heard Zeng Bolin shouting: "Lao Zhang, you get ready, Mr. Kang will go out later." ”

"Okay, I'll be here soon," Zhang Degong said and whispered while holding the microphone, "Wife, I'm going to drive for the boss, you can take care of your parents and wait for me to come back for the New Year to repair the house." ”

Hanging up the phone, Zhang Degong walked outside in good spirits, still wearing a neat suit.

Zhang Degong was injured on the battlefield in Vietnam, not only had some hearing problems, but also had a secret injury on his hand, and his wrist hurt as soon as the weather changed, so he could only retire from the army and return to his hometown to farm. In fact, he was transferred to a local police station to work as a police officer, but in the past few years, the mainland has been disarming, and the resettlement of local demobilized people has been chaotic, and Zhang Degong's police position has been filled for some reason.

Zhang Degong didn't like to fight with others, so he endured it silently, honestly went back to the countryside to farm, and by the way, he became a private teacher in the village school. Some time ago, his father was seriously ill, and Zhang Degong had no choice but to call his old boss to borrow money, and then he was recommended to Hong Kong to work as a driver for Kang Jianfei.

When he went downstairs to the parking lot, Zhang Degong was still five or six meters away from the car, and the door had already been opened.

"Degong, the boss is going out?" Zhu Zhenguo in the car asked.

Zhang Degong sat in the cab and said, "You are going to go out, are you stuffy?" ”

"It's ok. There are novels to read. Zhu Zhenguo raised the "Dragon Babu" in his hand.

Since Kang Jianfei has hired bodyguards and drivers, he naturally has to take advantage of them.

Now that Kang Jianfei is getting richer and richer, maybe one day someone will be jealous and want to play kidnapping and robbery. Kang Jianfei is not afraid of being besieged, he is afraid that there is an enemy who is completely pressing the bomb or something, no matter how good your kung fu is, you will have to go to the sky in confusion.

Therefore, Kang Jianfei asked that there should be someone in his car at all times, and Zhang Degong, Liu Fei and Zhu Zhenguo took turns to be on duty in the car, and someone had to sleep in the car even at night.

Zhang Degong touched the instrument on the driver's platform lovingly and exclaimed: "This car is really good, it runs very smoothly." When do you think our country will be able to produce such a good car? ”

"I don't know, I don't understand high-tech stuff." Zhu Zhenguo continued to read the novel.

Zhang Degong taught at the village school for two years. has developed the habit of criticizing people, he said: "Zhenguo, you are two years older than me, it stands to reason that I should call you brother." It's useless to read more martial arts novels, and now there is so much free time every day. You can learn more and supplement your cultural knowledge......"

"Eh, you're not bothered. If Lao Tzu can learn culture. I went to the military school a long time ago. "Zhu Zhenguo is short and dark, but he is the No. 1 fierce man in the army. Originally, he was about to be promoted to platoon commander, but because he was drunk, he had an argument with the company commander, and in a moment of anger, he broke three ribs of the company commander, and ran to pee in front of the administrative building of the unit, and was directly removed from the army.

From the day of discharge. Zhu Zhenguo vowed to quit drinking, if it weren't for the mistake of drinking, he would at least be the deputy company commander now. In the nightclub that day, Zhu Zhenguo only reluctantly drank two glasses. The rest of the time was spent chatting with Zhang Degong.

The two sat in the car and waited for more than ten minutes, but they didn't see Kang Jianfei go downstairs with Zeng Bolin and Liu Fei, so they had to chat again to pass the time.

"Meng Xuyang and Hao Bing really shouldn't have come to Hong Kong and go back to the mainland in a gloomy way." Zhang Degong suddenly said with emotion.

Zhu Zhenguo looked out of the car and saw that there was no one else and said: "Mr. Kang has a lot of eyes, I only understand now, it turns out that buying clothes, eating, and drinking flowers and wine that day were all testing a few of us." Meng Xuyang and Hao Bing were recruited, but the two of them still got 5,000 yuan when they left, which was not a trip to Hong Kong in vain. ”

"Our Boss Kang is not a simple person, he has only been in Hong Kong for five years, and he has made such a big career," Zhang Degong sighed with admiration, "If it is placed in troubled times, how can it be at the level of a hero." ”

Zhu Zhenguo said with a smile: "You are a scholar again, why have you become a hero?" ”

"That's why I'm telling you to read less martial arts novels and more newspapers," Zhang Degong asked, "Don't you know that Mr. Lu Daokang has killed people with his own hands?" ”

Zhu Zhenguo asked rhetorically: "Could it be that he still made a fortune in the evil business?" ”

Zhang Degong was speechless and said: "I mean Mr. Kang is very powerful, maybe you can't beat him." ”

"Talking nonsense again, he's so powerful that he asked us to be bodyguards?" Zhu Zhenguo said in disbelief.

In fact, Zhu Zhenguo's fighting skills can only be regarded as average, maybe even the red stick thugs of New Ngee An are better than him. Zhu Zhenguo's specialty is firearms and climbing, especially the climbing skills that he practiced in the mountains since he was a child, and the height of a seven- or eight-story building can be climbed in a few minutes without borrowing a rope.

Zhang Degong saw that he couldn't explain clearly to Zhu Zhenguo, so he didn't bother to speak again, leaned on his seat and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Not long after, footsteps sounded in the underground parking lot, and Zhu Zhenguo put away the martial arts novel and touched Zhang Degong's arm again.

Kang Jianfei walked at the forefront, followed by Zeng Bolin and Liu Fei, and finally had a little bit of a big boss's travel.

"Go to Fulinmen!" Kang Jianfei said after getting into the car.

Because Zhang Degong had just arrived in Hong Kong, he was not familiar with many place names and routes, so Zeng Bolin sat in the passenger cab every time to show him the way.

The car was speeding through the undersea passage, but Kang Jianfei was speculating in his heart about the purpose of Xu Jiasheng inviting him to dinner.

Xu Jiasheng is the head of the Hong Kong branch of the Xinhua News Agency, who took office last year, and the old president Wang Kuang stepped down last year. Because Wang Kuang is the director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council, after Director Liao died of illness last year, it was Director Ji who took over as director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office. Once a son of heaven and a courtier, after Director Ji took charge of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, the president of the Hong Kong branch was also replaced by his old subordinate Xu Jiasheng.

At about six o'clock in the afternoon, Kang Jianfei finally came to Fulinmen Restaurant.

Kang Jianfei only took Zeng Bolin into the private room, Zhang Degong stayed in the car and waited, while Liu Fei and Zhu Zhenguo stood outside the box. Like two door gods, one tall and one short.

After Kang Jianfei walked into the room, he glanced at the beautiful female secretary brought by Xu Jiasheng, stretched out his hand and smiled: "Director Xu, you are really getting younger and younger." ”

"Where, Mr. Kang is high-spirited, and the more he lives, the more wonderful he becomes!" Xu Jiasheng shook hands with Kang Jianfei with a smile, with a slightly flattering expression.

Kang Jianfei had only seen Xu Jiasheng once before, and he didn't feel anything unusual when there were many people, but now everyone made an appointment to eat alone, only to find that this Xu Jiasheng seemed to be a soft bone.

As the Hong Kong bureau chief of Xinhua News Agency. Xu Jiasheng is responsible for handling all overseas Chinese affairs in Hong Kong, and he actually showed a low profile in front of Kang Jianfei, which will inevitably be despised.

The former president Wang Kuang has a revolutionary temperament, and Kang Jianfei admires him a lot. As for this President Xu Jiasheng. It gives people the feeling of politicians and bureaucrats, and they are the kind of bureaucrats who can't get tough.

Formerly the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency. There have always been two presidents. It is used to take charge of different tasks. Mr. Li, the second president, just left his post last month, and now the power of the Hong Kong branch is in the hands of Xu Jiasheng, and there is a beautiful female secretary next to him.

Kang Jianfei looked at Xu Jiasheng seriously, this person is about 60 years old, his hair is gray, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses adds a bit of elegance to him.

"This is my secretary, Comrade Ji Xiaoyue." Xu Jiasheng actually took the initiative to introduce his female secretary to Kang Jianfei, "Comrade Xiaoyue is a top student of Peking University, the first batch of graduates since the mainland resumed the college entrance examination. ”

"It turned out to be a talented girl from Peking University, and Miss Ji is really beautiful and intelligent." Kang Jianfei praised without being salty.

Ji Xiaoyue threw an imperceptible wink at Kang Jianfei. said modestly: "Mr. Kang said that I am just a little secretary." ”

As soon as Xu Jiasheng and Ji Xiaoyue spoke, Kang Jianfei felt like he was communicating with a businessman, which was completely different from when Mr. Wang presided over the Hong Kong branch in the past.

What Kang Jianfei didn't know was that President Xu had a very bold appetite and was very small. In the parallel space, President Xu was unscrupulous during his tenure, but just because Hong Kong citizens jointly signed against it, he was so frightened that he suggested that the central government change the address of the nuclear power plant, and was scolded by Deng Gong. After an incident occurred in the future, President Xu fled to the United States with his mistress, ignoring even his wife and children in China.

"Mr. Kang's beauty contest was a great success, and now everyone in Hong Kong knows about it." Xu Jiasheng did not directly say his intention to invite Kang Jianfei to dinner, but casually picked up a topic to liven up the atmosphere.

Kang Jianfei smiled coincidentally: "Success is not counted, as long as you don't get too far behind in the Miss Hong Kong Competition." ”

"Mr. Kang is too modest, since you joined Phoenix Channel, Phoenix Channel's programs have been getting better and better, and a "Bao Qingtian" is well-known throughout the country in the mainland." Xu Jiasheng said complimentally.

Well, this guy didn't figure out that "Bao Qingtian" was filmed by the DreamWorks TV Production Department.

The two talked nonsense for a while, and Xu Jiasheng said in embarrassment: "But there are some plots in "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" released yesterday that seem to be inappropriate. ”

"Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" tells the story of young people from the mainland who went to Hong Kong to commit crimes, which in the eyes of some people is to scandalize the mainland. And "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" has only been released for two days, although the box office is only about 2 million, but it has attracted great attention.

Kang Jianfei frowned and said, "President Xu means to let me get off the film in advance?" ”

Xu Jiasheng hurriedly explained: "Of course I don't mean that, I just hope that when your company makes movies in the future, it will try to reflect the positive image of the mainland." ”

"I'll think about it. President Xu invited me to dinner today, is this just for this? Kang Jianfei said nonchalantly. Since Xu Jiasheng behaved so weakly, Kang Jianfei didn't need to pretend to be a grandson anymore, and immediately put up a fight.

Xu Jiasheng said: "Mr. Kang has never heard of the Hong Kong business delegation to Beijing? ”

"I've heard of it." Kang Jianfei nodded and said, he had indeed only heard about it, but he didn't know who the Lu Dao delegation was visiting Beijing.

The so-called delegation of Hong Kong business circles to Beijing was because the Sino-British negotiations had reached a deadlock, and the mainland invited Hong Kong business people to go north, where Deng Gong personally received and appeased and wooed them.

The leader of this business delegation to Beijing is Chung Shiyuan, the head of the Chinese political scene in Hong Kong, who has been awarded the title of Queen, and is a director of many companies such as Kowloon Motor Bus, Long Win Bus, and Sun Hung Kai Properties.

Just last week, Xu Jiasheng finally persuaded Zhong Shiyuan and other business people to go to Beijing after many efforts.

As a result, Zhong Shiyuan proposed to Deng Gong in public that the Hong Kong issue should take into account the sentiments of the Hong Kong people, and that the Sino-British negotiations should involve Hong Kong people, so as to turn the two-party talks into tripartite talks.

This argument is incredible, it is too strong than the separation of sovereignty and governance of Hong Kong proposed by the United Kingdom, and strictly speaking, it smells of Hong Kong poison.

Deng Gong was so angry that he privately scolded Zhong Shiyuan as a "lonely minister", and Xu Jiasheng, who was the mediator of the Beijing delegation, was even more disagreeable, and at the same time worried about his political future.

Xu Jiasheng invited Kang Jianfei to dinner this time, in fact, he wanted to invite Kang Jianfei to Beijing to face the saint, and to prepare to make another cultural delegation to visit Beijing after the Hong Kong industrial and commercial circles visited Beijing.

"Mr. Kang, your film and television works are highly appreciated by the central leaders. Sooner or later, Hong Kong will return to the embrace of the motherland, and after the reform and opening up, the mainland has seen unprecedented opening up and development of ideology and culture, and the mainland market will sooner or later open its doors to Hong Kong film companies," Xu Jiasheng is doing Kang Jianfei's ideological work, "The mainland box office of "Shaolin Temple" is over 100 million, and the Taiwan market is really not worth mentioning compared with the mainland market. If Mr. Kang can work closely with the mainland in advance, he will definitely be able to take the lead in the future......"

Kang Jianfei was silent for a while, and suddenly asked: "Who are the members of this Hong Kong cultural delegation to Beijing?" ”

Hui Jiasheng said the names of several Hong Kong writers and leftist filmmakers, and suddenly emphatically said: "Mr. Shao Yifu of the Shaw Brothers is also going to Beijing." ”

"Oh, Boss Shao is also going," Kang Jianfei thought for a while and asked, "Is this delegation visiting Beijing secret or public?" ”

Xu Jiasheng saw that Kang Jianfei was a little moved, and immediately said happily: "Mr. Kang, don't worry, I will help you keep it strictly confidential, and there will be no news from this visit to Beijing." ”

"What time is it?" Kang Jianfei asked.

Xu Jiasheng said: "July 13th to 14th. ”

Kang Jianfei calculated the time and found that he could just attend the premiere of "Love Saint" when he returned to Hong Kong from Beijing, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, this Beijing delegation is one of them." (To be continued......)
