Now Mr. Liao is in charge of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office and the Hong Kong Affairs Office. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the governor of Hong Kong Island from the mainland..."
The second son, Guo Jingting, spoke eloquently, saying that he was 21 years old this year and had just been admitted to the University of Hong Kong two years ago. He was considered the most studious among the three generations of the Guo family.
"Did you hear that? Learn from Jingting and learn more knowledge and culture. You won't suffer any loss."
Seeing Guo Jingting, Mr. Guo felt a little comforted, and then he said to his grandchildren very earnestly:
"Grandpa knows that you don't know much about the mainland, and when you mention the mainland, you have the impression of backwardness and poverty.
But you have to know that the roots of all of us Hong Kong Islanders are in the mainland.
We all came across the ocean from the mainland, and you must believe that the poverty in the mainland is only temporary.
Hong Kong Island is just a tiny place. Sooner or later, the mainland will far surpass Hong Kong Island, and even surpass most of the so-called developed countries in the world.
Therefore, don’t look down on the mainland, don’t underestimate it, otherwise, you will suffer a great loss..."
The grandchildren of the Guo family seemed to obey their grandfather's words on the surface, but in their hearts, like the vast majority of Hong Kong people, they did not agree with them at all.
How long will it take for the mainland to catch up with Hong Kong Island?
…
On the other side, Liu Rumeng and her mother Guo Linxian, sitting in the Guo family's Mercedes-Benz, quickly arrived at the Xinhua News Agency's Hong Kong branch, located on the third floor of No. 172 Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon.
"Mom, I... I'm a little nervous. What should I say when I see Mr. Liao?"
Although Liu Rumeng had lived with her parents since she was a child and had met some uncles and aunts who were founding generals, she was still young at the time, and there were also obvious differences between these uncles and aunts and Mr. Liao.
"Don't be nervous. If Mr. Liao doesn't ask you, don't speak. If he asks you, just answer truthfully."
Guo Linxian said this to her daughter with a smile, but in fact, she herself was quite excited.
I took Liu Rumeng directly to the reception room, where President Liang Weilin was drinking tea and talking with Mr. Liao.
Guo Linxian calmed herself down and knocked on the door.
Boom boom boom…
President Liang then stood up with a smile and said, "Come in! Director Guo, come quickly, Mr. Liao was about to go back to rest, and I heard that you and your daughter have arrived in Hong Kong.
He said that no matter what, he must see you today.
All right! Then I'll make some room for you guys to chat..."
After the introduction, President Liang left the meeting room with a smile.
Mr. Liao, who was sitting inside, did not stand up. He smiled and gestured to Guo Linxian and her daughter, saying, "Comrade Guo Linxian, I was inconsiderate and made you rush over here. Sit down and take a rest!"
"No...no! Mr. Liao, if you want to see me, I will come right away even if I am far away."
Guo Linxian pulled her daughter a little nervously and sat on the sofa opposite Mr. Liao.
Liu Rumeng sat down obediently, pursed her lips, and looked up and down at Mr. Liao in front of her with her curious big eyes, comparing him with the image of Mr. Liao she had seen in the book.
"Comrade Guo Linxian, these years have not been easy for you and Comrade Liu Guopeng. The organization feels sorry for you. Now that you have come to work in Hong Kong Island, if you have any difficulties, feel free to raise them with the organization."
First of all, Mr. Liao expressed his apologies.
Guo Linxian waved her hands hastily and said, "Mr. Liao, this... these are nothing. The general environment is like this, and I... I just occasionally wonder what life would be like if I had followed my father and brothers to Hong Kong Island.
But now that all the hardships have paid off, thinking about it carefully again, even if I have to do it a hundred times, I should still make the same choice and stay firmly with my old Liu. "
"Okay! Yes! After all the hardship comes happiness. You must believe that the sweetness of our country is still to come!"
As he spoke, Mr. Liao took out a check from his bag and handed it to Guo Linxian, saying, "Here is a check for one million Hong Kong dollars. It is the organization's compensation to you. Please accept it first and use it as living expenses in Hong Kong Island."
"What? One million Hong Kong dollars?"
They were chatting happily when Guo Linxian was completely shocked by Mr. Liao's sudden generosity.
Even for some families in Hong Kong Island, one million Hong Kong dollars is not a small sum.
Guo Linxian is very clear that the mainland is currently in great shortage of foreign exchange.
The operating funds of Xinhua News Agency's Hong Kong branch are very tight, and every Hong Kong dollar has to be broken into two to spend.
How could the organization directly give her one million Hong Kong dollars to compensate her? This is obviously unreasonable and unrealistic.
Guo Linxian quickly refused: "Mr. Liao, we can't take this money, and we don't need it. Let's use this money where the country needs it more!"
People at this time are so noble and lofty.
If it were in the future, people would definitely call you a "saint" or a "fool". If money is delivered to your doorstep, why wouldn't you want it without stealing or robbing?
Compared with those guys who would be happy to take even a little bit of public property, many state officials at that time were truly dedicated to the public, the country, and the people.
Not to mention embezzling the country's public funds and resources, even the little salary they receive every month is often spent on work after spending it very frugally on food, clothing and other expenses.
Liu Rumeng was standing by and was also a little surprised.
This is one million Hong Kong dollars!
If you get it, you will immediately become an enviable millionaire in Hong Kong Island.
