Reborn Capital Madman

Chapter 0012 Ability but trouble

The second-ranking figure in the Hong Kong government, Colonial Secretary Luo Lok-man, is not very grand. His entourage can be counted on one hand, and there is only one accompanying reporter.

In addition, Funing'an had previously said that he had canceled the inspection trip, Gao Xian speculated that Luo Lemin's sudden arrival was probably a spur-of-the-moment arrangement, which in turn reflected that he did not necessarily pay much attention to the disaster area.

It is not difficult to understand. There are so many wooden hut areas dotted all over Hong Kong. There are so many fires every year that senior officials have long been numb. What's more, the most important thing in Hong Kong right now is that the Hong Kong government invests heavily in whitewashing the Hong Kong Festival.

.

Although the name Luo Lemin is quite Chinese, it is just a way for the British to rule more conveniently in Hong Kong. Luo Lemin, who is in his fifties, is an out-and-out foreigner.

At a young age, Gao Xian's social status may not be very high, but with his career experience as a project manager, he has seen a lot of all kinds of people. Therefore, Luo Lemin did not give Gao Xian too much freshness, and his attention

He was quickly attracted by the young Chinese next to Luo Lemin.

It is no exaggeration to say that Gao Xian's vague sense of superiority, that he believed he came from the future era and had experience that overwhelmed today's world, was immediately dissipated by the other party's grace.

Glancing at Wen Enjie with a look of obsession in his eyes, Gao Xian murmured in his heart: "The young Chinese next to Luo Lemin should be Shi Chunzhi, the son of Shi Yueqiang, the chief Chinese unofficial member of the Hong Kong Executive Bureau. Sure enough, there is

The capital to make wealthy ladies jealous."

Compared with the greetings with Wen Enhui and Wen Enjie, Shi Chunzhi's greetings with Yi Huiqiang and Yi Huirong were obviously much more casual, which further confirmed a piece of information Gao Xian had dug up before, that is, the Shi family and the Yi family had a relationship.

The relationship between in-laws is relatively close on weekdays.

Gao Xian, Zhou Yourong and others stood at the forefront of the organized disaster victims and welcomed the arrival of the Assistant Secretary Luo Lemin in an orderly manner.

This people-friendly show was destined to be less popular, because Luo Lemin did not speak Cantonese and could not even say the most basic greetings, so he relied on Shi Chunzhi to translate between Chinese and English.

His eyes fell on Yi Huirong and Wen Enjie, two ladies with higher education and fluent English. Luo Lemin said with a smile: "Although I took office in Xiangjiang not long ago, I have already heard that the two ladies are doing charity work in Donghua.

She was so glamorous at the party, and now seeing the well-organized charity work at the disaster relief site, she is indeed a Hong Kong socialite worthy of the name!"

Yi Huirong smiled lightly and said: "Accumulating virtue and doing good has always been the family motto of our Yi family. Giving back to society is naturally the duty of young people of our generation."

Wen Enjie smiled sweetly and said: "It is the responsibility of our Wen family to assist the government in relieving the victims and reducing the pressure on the government."

Luo Lemin said happily: "I also heard that although Miss Wen is young, she is already an outstanding dancer. I hope I can have the opportunity to see her."

Wen Enjie withdrew her gaze from Shi Chunzhi and said proudly: "During the upcoming Xiangjiang Festival, I will perform on stage, and I will also invite the Colonial Secretary to come."

Luo Lemin smiled and nodded, "Even if I have official duties, I will still make time to be there."

In this situation, Gao Xian, who was at most a representative of the victims and a small contractor, could only stand aside with his humble status.

Seeing the second-in-command in the Hong Kong government, Chief Secretary Luo Leman, talking and laughing with representatives of Hong Kong's famous families, the outstanding young generation of the Yi family, the Wen family, and the Shi family, Gao Xian had to admit that even though he had a golden finger that traveled through time and space, his

In terms of overall quality, there is still a clear gap with others.

There is nothing embarrassing to admit. Gao Xian was originally an ordinary young man in the workplace of that era.

After careful observation, Gao Xian was convinced that as far as Shi Chunzhi was concerned, Wen Enjie was jealous of Yi Huirong. As for Shi Chunzhi's attitude, the distant Yi Huirong was much calmer than Wen Enjie.

"I'm afraid, the jealousy between Wen Enjie and Yi Huirong, as well as the legendary rivalry at the Donghua Charity Gala, are just the appearance of contradictions." Gao Xian glanced at Yi Huiqiang and Wen Enhui, "Otherwise, these two

I won’t be bored by being followed around by my sister. There must be deep-seated grudges between the Yi family and the Wen family that are inhumane, but the Shi family is now in a happy mood."

Because Wen Enjie had always been used as a punching bag to make things difficult for him, Gao Xian secretly observed the other party carefully out of need of caution.

Don't look at Wen Enjie's jealous behavior, which gives people a very superficial feeling, but through his dialogue with the Coordinator Luo Lemin, Gao Xian found that this wealthy lady who must retaliate may not be that simple. People trained by wealthy families are really not economical.

of lights.

"Mr. Gao, what are they talking about?" Zhou Yourong, who was standing next to him, saw that these big shots were talking happily. Unfortunately, he couldn't understand English, so he asked curiously in a low voice.

"They are all affairs of the upper class and have nothing to do with anyone else." Gao Xian replied softly.

"Translate a few sentences and listen." Zhou Yourong gave an urging look.

"That Miss Wen said that she would have a dance performance during the Xiangjiang Festival and invited the Coordinator Luo Lemin to watch." Gao Xian obeyed her wish.

"Oh, it's a world for rich people!" Zhou Yourong muttered unwillingly.

Looking at the respectful crowd around him, Luo Lemin was very interested. He patted his head and decided to further demonstrate his pragmatic style and interact with the victims to ask questions.

This item had been arranged for a long time in the preparations. Several victims asked some innocuous questions, which the Colonial Secretary could easily answer. The only reporter accompanying him dutifully recorded this scene.

Luo Lemin, who was still unfinished, unexpectedly pointed to a little boy sitting on his father's neck, looking around curiously, and asked him to ask questions.

Although it went beyond the prior arrangement, no one paid much attention to it. After all, it is good for a little kid to be able to speak completely and ask any sharp questions that would embarrass the Colonial Secretary.

This is also true. The little guy asked innocently: "Will you build a building for us to live in?"

Amidst the laughter, Shi Chunzhi translated the question to Luo Lemin.

The Colonial Secretary was once again unexpected, and explained in a very serious manner: "As we all know, in the past two years, the real estate industry in Xiangjiang has been hit hard, and it has been depressed to this day, which has put great pressure on the government's already limited finances; at the same time,

Important projects such as the High Island Reservoir and the Undersea Tunnel are being started one after another, with huge investment. Therefore, the government will take a cautious approach to the construction of resettlement areas and will instead be more inclined to plan and develop new towns."

Shi Chunzhi, Wen Enhui, Yi Huiqiang and others heard the song and nodded politely. Luo Lemin, the assistant secretary of state who had just taken office, was tentatively informing the outside world about his governance philosophy on the real estate industry.

This trip is well worth it! Isn't one of the main purposes of businessmen surrounding officials is to know important information such as this in advance?

Luo Lemin continued: "Since the Shek Kip Mei fire in 1953, when the government built a resettlement building nearby to house the victims, the residents of the wooden house area have formed a misunderstanding in their thinking.

The government will build resettlement buildings and live in the buildings themselves, causing the number of fires in the Xiangjiang wooden house area to increase year after year. Hum, if you want to live in a good house, you still have to work hard on your own."

When Gao Xian heard this, he couldn't help but frowned: "These British colonial officials are really not condescending. Why don't they speak human words? Who on earth wants their own place to be reduced to ashes?"

The victims, who were looking like stars holding the moon, didn't know how disdainful the British guy in the middle was. They had simple expressions on their faces and listened quietly, even though they couldn't understand English.

When the little boy saw that he had finished asking and no one answered him in Chinese, he waved his hand and shouted: "Will we have a building to live in?"

The clear child's voice caught people's attention. Shi Chunzhi smiled and answered, "The government will seriously consider it."

"This Shi Chunzhi can really wipe the British's butt. A child of an aristocratic family is indeed extraordinary." Gao Xiangang complained in his heart, and Zhou Yourong next to him asked again: "Mr. Gao, how did Luo Lemin answer?"

Gao Xian said playfully: "Didn't Lawyer Shi translate it just now?"

Zhou Yourong insisted: "Luo Lemin spoke so much English, how could it be translated into such a simple sentence?"

Gao Xian shook his head helplessly. Since you want to know the truth so much, I will give you the complete version of the translation.

After hearing this, Zhou Yourong had a look of anger on his face, "There are rumors that this Colonial Secretary who was transferred from Africa will be appointed as the Governor of Hong Kong next. I didn't expect him to be so useless!"

Gao Xian couldn't figure out what was going on. The answer he faithfully translated to Zhou Yourong spread quickly among the victims. Immediately, the crowd broke into commotion and sharp whistles were heard.

Luo Lemin and others who were talking loudly were immediately attracted and their expressions changed.

Wen Enhui, who was responsible for ensuring the safety of the Colonial Secretary, quickly put the whistle into his mouth and made a sharp and shrill sound.
