Hong Kong Governor Mai Lihao went to the mainland from Xiangjiang very low-key, but the so-called "secrecy" is just for the bottom people. In fact, he can't escape the eyes and ears of those who want to.
Therefore, when Hong Kong Governor Mai Lihao finished his more than ten day trip to the mainland and returned to Xiangjiang, he specially held a press conference at the Hong Kong Governor's office, focusing on a sentence from Yanjing, that is, "investors in Xiangjiang can rest assured".
With the results of this visit, the uneasy public opinion began to calm down, but privately it was not.
For example, when Shi Yueqiang, the chief non-official member of the Executive Council of the Hong Kong government, returned home, he showed his spirit to outsiders. In an instant, he turned lonely and sat down on the sofa tired.
Seeing this, Shi Chunzhi was startled and asked with concern: "Dad, are you too tired or something on your mind?"
Shi Yueqiang sighed, "you don't know, the governor deliberately didn't mention Yanjing's firm determination to recover Xiangjiang in 1997 at the press conference!"
Shi Chunzhi was surprised and said, "do you know from London?"
"Of course I know!" Shi Yueqiang nodded slightly, "but now No. 10 Downing Street is the guard house. The new prime minister can't be determined until next month's general election. Moreover, after taking office, the new prime minister has to be busy dealing with the severe situation since last winter, and he doesn't care about it at all."
Shi Chunzhi thought and analyzed: "the governor chose to do this. He should delay if he can."
Shi Yueqiang sighed again: "it can only be so, and the governor is now overdue. He has no ambition to do great things. He has a clean ear. Every day is a day."
"I have made it clear that I will resign as the chief non official member of the Executive Council before the expiration of my term of office, at the latest by the end of this year."
Shi Chunzhi was even more surprised, "why?"
After a moment of silence, Shi Yueqiang slowly explained, "the next government meeting will be more and more complex. I'm old and I'm afraid it's difficult to deal with it."
At this point, Shi Yueqiang realized that even his son would not believe such words, so he anxiously went on to reflect on himself: "I have worked hard for the British people for many years, and I have no way back. I can only retreat as soon as possible to ensure a comfortable old age. At the same time, I can also minimize some disasters for the Shi family."
Shi Chunzhi opened his mouth, but he didn't want to say anything for a moment.
We should know that Shi Yueqiang, the chief non-official member of the Executive Council of the Hong Kong government, is indeed highly valued by the British people. One evidence is that he has been on the "Queen's birthday medal list" to be officially announced in early June this year and will be awarded the highest GBE of the British Imperial medal.
This is of great significance, because in the honor system implemented by Britain for the Chinese elites in Xiangjiang, Shi Yueqiang received the medal of the British Empire. It can be seen how trusted and valued Shi Yueqiang is among the British people.
But as Shi Yueqiang himself said, he went too far on this road to deal with the future changes. It's better to "abdicate and give way to the good" as soon as possible.
Shi Chunzhi, who knows what's at stake, can't surpass his father's insight even if he is excellent. Naturally, he can't give better advice.
However, Shi Chunzhi is instinctively unwilling. As a lawyer, he has long seen through all kinds of social and human relationships, but he didn't expect to taste it one day. The aura from his father will fade so quickly.
Perhaps Shi Chunzhi hasn't realized that his unwillingness comes from often secretly comparing with Gao Xian.
Now, his signboard of Xiangjiang's first childe is about to lose, while the strength of Gaoxian's business tycoon seems unshakable.
Seeing that his son was more lost than himself, Shi Yueqiang comforted him in turn: "you don't have to worry too much. There is still more than ten years of buffer time. We are enough to protect ourselves. It's a big deal to emigrate overseas and be a rich man in peace."
Shi Chunzhi echoed the ground for two times. What he thought was, is it his ambition to be a rich man who can only eat and drink all day?
At this time, he and Wen Enjie's only daughter came bouncing over, "Grandpa, Dad..."
Shi Chunzhi waved impatiently and said, "go and find your grandmother. Your grandfather and I are talking about important things."
Looking at his lovely granddaughter, who was made up of powder and jade and full of beauty, Shi Yueqiang had a big heart and forgot his troubles for the time being, so he scolded his son unhappily and said, "don't be so ungrateful. Sprinkle your unhappiness on the child!"
Some embarrassed Shi Chunzhi touched his nose, got up and said goodbye, "Dad, you've been running around for many days. Have a good rest. I'll go home first."
Shi Yue nodded. "It's enough to have a good granddaughter with me and your mother. You take care of your family. I heard that Enjie can leave her wheelchair and walk around by herself. You're so concerned."
Shi Chunzhi absentmindedly promised, and then went straight back to his home. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his wife Wen Enjie walking from side to side in the living room under the care of the escort, and then back, exercising repeatedly.
It has to be said that with extraordinary endurance and strong financial support, Wen Enjie has a medical miracle. Except that she can't dance, she walks almost the same as ordinary people.
Wen Enjie turned around happily, "Chunzhi, I feel more and more ideal."
Shi Chunzhi gave a faint hum and sat down on the sofa. The others stepped back one after another, leaving room for the couple to say intimate words.
"Enjie, I'm also very happy to see you recover as before. At the right time, I want to discuss something with you." Shi Chunzhi thought about his words: "I think it's time for us to divorce."
Wen Enjie, who is no stranger to the word "divorce", said bitterly, "why? In the past, you despised me as a paralytic, I can understand, but now I'm well!"
Shi Chunzhi explained irritably, "it's not because of this..."
Wen Enjie wiped her tears and continued to ask, "are you worried that I'll settle your old accounts outside these years? Don't worry, I'll keep one eye open and one eye closed. Just don't divorce me."
Shi Chunzhi said dejectedly, "you woman, you only know that you are in your own world all day, and you don't know that things are going to change outside. The power of the Shi family you value most will no longer exist, and our marriage has lost its foundation."
Wen Enjie said with tears in her eyes, "what do you mean?"
"Ask your father." Shi Chunzhi waved impatiently, "I hope you will seriously consider the divorce. Let's get together and get together."
