Chapter 162

"Song Ye is going to marry into a wealthy family?"

Wu Ming thought for a moment and guessed what was going on.

Lin Wei's expression was stagnant, like a goose being strangled by the neck, with no arrogance at all.

Wu Ming looked at her leisurely and said, "I don't have any objections. I'm afraid that the ship king may look down on me. It's not a wise move for you to try to gain leverage with me."

Lin Wei was wrong and said with a stern expression: "I I'm just joking."

"Then you don't have any sense of humor," Wu Ming put the things in his hands on the table and said calmly, "If you want Song Ye to come back, you can act on your own and see whether he chooses the ship king's daughter or not. You can also do a true love test, isn't it the best of both worlds?"

Wu Ming is much taller now, and a casual suit makes him taller and longer. When he stands in front of her, he still looks very imposing.

Wu Ming was angry.

Lin Wei made a sad face and felt very regretful. She would have known better not to tease him like this. This man was too smart.

"No, I should bless them if they are living a good life. It's because I am too small and jealous when I see their careers are smooth." Then Lin Wei changed the topic, "What is this?" She brought Wu Ming over. Pick things up.

Wu Ming glanced at her and said, "The information on Zhulian Temple may be related to Chu Aidong."

"What?"

Lin Wei looked at him.

"It's just a guess. On the surface, the abbot of the temple is Master Pukong, but before he became a monk, this man was a member of a gang. His original name was Liang Zongguang. He had a good relationship with Lan Xiong. Later, his family was killed by his enemies, so he decided to see through the red world and become a monk in the temple. He took over the temple fourteen years ago." Lin

Wei opened her mouth in shock and wondered: "Wouldn't this affect the reputation of the temple? How can such a person manage a pure Buddhist place?"

Shaking his head: "If you don't destroy it, you won't establish it. Everyone likes to watch the drama of the prodigal son turning back. Moreover, his relatives are gone. In the eyes of ordinary people, he has made atonement and received retribution. That's why he chose to become a monk when he was alone in the end. That's why Because of his background, many people believe that to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately, people have to have some shortcomings to be more empathetic. People who are too perfect will make people distance themselves. If a Bodhisattva can save him, he can also save others. "

Lin Wei looked at the information in her hand. Regardless of whether this person had any connection with Chu Aidong or not, based on the instructions she heard that day, she could be sure that he was not a good person. The so-called "putting down the butcher's knife" did not exist at all, but was replaced by something more... Despicable way to take people's lives.

This can be considered an unexpected gain.

"What about Fu Wenfan?" Lin Wei asked.

Wu Ming paused and shook his head: "The original eyewitness can no longer be found?"

"What do you mean?" Lin Wei looked at the information, "How come you can't find someone with a name and a surname?" There is both a Buddhist title and a real name on it. .

"They left the monastery, and later moved to who knows where. Some said they went abroad, and some said they went to Taiwan."

It has been too long, and it is too difficult to check now.

Sure enough it's not that easy.

Lin Wei sighed: "Then find someone to keep an eye on the temple and see if they can find any evidence." It would be a disaster to keep such a place, so it's best to leave it alone.

Wu Ming nodded, and then said: "Then I will find someone to sneak into the temple."

Lin Wei was stunned. Does this mean he is looking for someone to be an undercover agent?

"Is this all okay?"

"If you want to find out more information, this is the only way, but you have to wait a little longer. It's hard to say when the results will be available."

"Wait, there are a lot of things to wait for, and this is not bad. One piece."

Lin Wei began to wait in the following days, mainly for the price of gold to increase.

As a result, gold did not rise until Su Tianrui fell in love.

This guy is completely happy and carefree, and he is completely different from when he went to Iran. Lin Wei said that there was nothing to ask him to come back. It seems that gold will not rise in a short period of time. It will rise by 30 to 5 yuan. There is no need to find someone to be so special. Look, Wen Jiayue can just take a look when she has free time. Even if the price goes up, people can still go there in time.

As a result, this guy refused to come back. He said that the gold market was changing rapidly and he would be stationed in London and go through fire and water for her.

Lin Wei was so angry that she wanted to take oxygen.

But it was hard to rush him. At such an old age, it was not easy to get married. However, Lin Wei was afraid that he would delay Wen Jiayue's studies, so she warned him not to cross the line.

In the end, Lin Wei felt that she had to find something for them to do. In the UK, a country that likes burgers and fries, promoting the Queen's Burgers was the most appropriate thing to do, so Lin Wei asked Su Tianrui and Wen Jiayue to cooperate and let them work in London. Open the Queen's Castle.

Now Su Tianrui was very busy, and he was back to the past, calling her in a panic every day to ask her how to deal with it, and complaining to her that the British guys were too difficult to deal with.

Lin Wei felt completely comfortable now.

Lin Wei's career progress is considered good or bad. In the current environment, it would be good if the project can be maintained, but making money only exists in individual projects.

The stock market was bleak, and Kowloon Aviation's stock was relatively stable. The main reason was that there were not many Kowloon Aviation stocks on the market, and there was no room for decline. In the meantime, 1 million shares were released one after another, and 30 million funds were obtained to replenish the company's blood. , if land prices do not rise and Hong Kong does not regain its previous prosperity, the Kowloon aviation industry can only survive like this, and will start making money in two years.

The situation of Tea Love is the worst. There were 148 milk tea shops, but only 52 were reopened in the end. The market has become so depressed that the catering industry at the bottom is most affected. The streets are full of closed shops. How can it be like this now? , Wu Ming has already tried his best.

Herzi is also affected. The second store in France has been opened. The Milan store will also open before the end of the year, followed by London. The European market is progressing in an orderly manner.

In Hong Kong, stores in Kowloon have not been open for a long time. After a small upsurge in openings, stores in Central have begun to fall back. Sales fluctuate greatly. They can rise during the fashion week, and then fall back again. With sales of more than ten or two hundred thousand, if the Kowloon store opens, you can imagine what a bleak scene it will be.

But we have to open the business, as long as we don’t lose money, we have to open it.

In mid-June, Hezi’s store in Kowloon officially opened.

It’s true that I had to bite the bullet and open my business.

In the evening, everyone held a celebration banquet at the Kowloon Hotel. Lin Wei invited singers and cabaret performers to perform to prevent herself from being laughed at by the employees when she was drunk.

The celebration banquet was very lively and attracted other guests from the hotel. Lin Wei didn't let anyone rush her away. The hall was very spacious, so it didn't matter how many people there were.

These people stood behind and applauded together.

"You have to be a star. This is much better than a nightclub performance."

"What do you know? Nightclubs are all about the atmosphere. This person can sing well, but here he is almost useless."

"Huh, what is a nightclub? Suddenly someone interjected, "Have you never seen the original goddess competition? Do you know what a chorus of ten thousand people means?"

"If you say that, it is true. I heard that Central was very lively at that time, but I was far away and didn't go. "Cheng, you were there at that time?"

"Of course, I remember that day Yin Zhenghua sang a song "Moscow Suburban Night", and everyone at the scene sang together. At that scene, the whole Queen Square was filled with singing, and it was a shocking feeling under the night. Looking back now, I am very excited. When the show ended, no one wanted to leave... It felt like it happened yesterday, but in the blink of an eye, it has been three years, so fast."

"Oh, what a pity. , I didn’t go there at that time, I guess that scene would be hard to come by again, the goddess competition was gone last year.”

“Yeah, it’s a pity that even if it exists now, it’s all recorded in a studio, and the fun of having fun with the people is lost. "

Lin Wei came back from outside, walked through the crowd, and walked back to her seat.

"How about we hold a goddess concert?" Lin Wei and Wu Ming said after sitting down.

Um?

Wu Ming looked at her.

"It's free. The goddess of Xiangjiang probably won't be able to do it this year. The current situation is not suitable for holding any more beauty pageants. Why not bring the goddesses from the previous two years together to hold a goddess concert, right in Queen's Square, where the goddess started, even if it is Let's cheer up Xiangjiang, which is currently depressed. We'll pay for it, and it's for charity."

After Wu Ming heard what she said, he was silent for a few seconds, then slowly smiled: "Okay, I'll do it."

This can indeed inspire Hong Kong City. On the other hand, it will also make the IP of Goddess truly leave a deep mark on the hearts of citizens.

This is indeed a very good proposal.

With this idea in mind, Lin Wei began to conceive in her mind.

The concert is free, but there is still a limit on the number of people. Queen’s Square is so big. In order to avoid congestion and stampedes, there can’t be too many people. For a so-called concert of 10,000 people, then according to the topography of Queen’s Square, 10,000 people will be allowed. A spot is available.

But how will concert tickets be distributed?

She thought too seriously, and when she got to the hotel room, she found that the door couldn't be opened.

"Mr. Lin, this is not your room." The bodyguard behind reminded him.

Ah...

Lin Wei raised her head and looked at 1207 on the house number. She was stunned for a moment and didn't understand why she was standing here.

This isn't the first time.

She thought she must have been here in her previous life and was familiar with it. Otherwise, why would she always subconsciously want to come to this room?

But, she forgot all about it.

Lin Wei sighed softly, turned around and walked towards the elevator.

She heard the sound of a door lock turning, and the door behind her opened.

Lin Wei's steps were steady and she left here without looking back.

Since you forgot, forget it.

The memory is too painful, and there is nothing to cherish.

The news of the goddess's concert aroused heated discussions as soon as it was released.

The quota of 10,000 is not too much, but not too little.

However, due to the enthusiastic response from the citizens, it became difficult to get a vote.

The ways to obtain concert tickets are:

1. Participate in the lottery of Hang Seng Bank

2. Scratch-off activities in elegant shirts and milk tea shops

3. Hezi’s customers can get them for free

4. Related companies in the Kowloon aviation industry also have their own allocation methods

5. Li Lucky viewers of the TV station were selected.

They also cooperated with newspapers to create a question and answer. The questions in the newspapers were some common sense questions about the goddess competition. Those who have followed the previous two years will know that readers can send the answers back to the agency. Those who answered correctly Spectators have the opportunity to obtain tickets.

A total of 10,000 places will be allocated until all are available.

This thing went smoother and hotter than they imagined.

Some of Lin Wei's business partners specifically called Lin Wei to ask for tickets. Not only her, but anyone who had some connections approached them and wanted to do some "black box operations", which gave Lin Wei a little more connections. Extra bonus.

What is inevitable is that scalpers will appear and start to inflate ticket prices.

It was obviously free, but now he had to pay a high price to buy it. Lin Wei didn't want to ruin her reputation, so she could only use the police to help crack down on ticket dealers. The police would not work in vain.

Three years ago, I asked the police to spend money to maintain order, but now I have changed my method to give money to the police.

Because it is a public welfare project, the goddesses are willing to cooperate, and the transportation fee is enough. Except for the husband and the child, and the husband's family will not let go, most of the goddesses have agreed, and even those who have withdrawn from the circle have promised to come. Including Hu Xiwen, everyone came back from France, and the reunion of the goddesses brought back some good memories for everyone.

On the day of the concert, Lin Wei specially invited Ye Jing'en to give a speech at the concert.

"I don't know what a goddess is. Lin told me that this is right, because there is no standard for a goddess. She is different in everyone's heart, but the only consensus is that she must be 'beautiful' and kind. Beautiful..."

"I think happiness is the same. Everyone has a different understanding of happiness, and the only thing we can reach a consensus on is that happy people should at least have enough food and clothing, and should have the right to education, so that everyone can be better. To understand our world well, so Lin and I have been working hard to implement 6 years of free compulsory education. We hope that the government can take some measures. Children are the future of Hong Kong, and their happiness is in our hands... …”

“Today’s Hong Kong has disappointed many people. History keeps repeating the same mistakes. Human beings are struggling with disappointment and despair again and again, but we have never lost hope in life. We work hard. No matter how bad the conditions are, we can always We work hard to embrace a new life. We work hard. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we are working hard for a better world. For the future, we need to be firmer and firmer. As long as we don’t give up, the future of Xiangjiang will be bright. It will definitely make most people feel happy."

Waves of applause sounded in Queen Square.

The main reason why Lin Wei asked Ye Jing'en to give this speech was that the bastard Governor of Hong Kong had gone back on his word. He had obviously promised her to implement free compulsory education, but for more than a year, the proposal had not been given. Lin Wei wanted to use public opinion to force this A handful of goods.

This person has been postponing the proposal with various excuses. Now that the turmoil has subsided, he doesn't take it seriously anymore, because the implementation of policies always has problems of one kind or another. He finds it very troublesome. If it weren't for the deep resentment among the people, his Hong Kong The governor has always been very comfortable in his job and does not need performance appraisal, so he does not do anything he can do.

This is the current situation in Hong Kong City. It all depends on people's own efforts to survive under the oppression of the government, police and gangs.

The turning point in Hong Kong is due to this turmoil, but it is also related to the resignation of this term's Hong Kong governor. In order to calm the public's anger, the British will replace the Hong Kong governor with a real business governor. However, David's term is until 1971, and there are still 3 years left. , this thing will go down.

There was still grinding before that.

The concert was very successful. Thirty-three goddesses, chorus, solo, dance, instrumental performance, and popular songs led to the chorus of thousands of people. It was exactly the same as three years ago. It made people excited and very exciting.

The concert ended at nine o'clock in the evening.

"There are times when we get together and disperse. I look forward to our next meeting."

Lin Wei looked at the crowds of people dispersing in the square, in groups of twos and threes, with a smile on her face that was still full of meaning. The square gradually became quiet.

Naturally, she also thought of that night three years ago.

At the time, she thought it was an ordinary sight, but she didn't expect that it still left some imprints in her memory.

The response to the concert was very good, and the comments in the newspapers were very positive and positive, because the theme was "hope", which is something that is scarce in Hong Kong now. This made many commentators praise the event organized by Lin Wei.

Ye Jing'en's speech also appeared in the newspapers, triggering everyone's discussion. Free compulsory education has been raised for several years, and it is a commonplace issue, but the Hong Kong government refuses to let go. This has led to further discussions on corruption in the Hong Kong government.

The Hong Kong Governor's Office is naturally in a state of turmoil again.

Lin Wei is not afraid of David at all now. She is not a newbie who has just arrived in Hong Kong City. The Kowloon shipping industry is enough for her to have a head-to-head confrontation with the Hong Kong government. In a few years, this guy will step down. If he doesn't take revenge now, he will have no chance when he returns to England.

What she pays most attention to now is gold. As a result, she waited for the opening of the Hezi Milan store and the news of Ji Chengjun and Qu Zhiheng's relationship, but she didn't wait for the gold price to rise sharply.

When Lin Wei attended Milan Fashion Week in September, she discovered that Ji Chengjun and Qu Zhiheng were in love. She accidentally caught the two people kissing backstage. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and did not let them notice.

Lin Wei never asked about it when she was in Italy. She only asked about it when she and Qu Zhiheng flew back to Xiangjiang.

"How long?" Lin Wei asked.

Qu Zhiheng looked at Lin Wei's shocked expression and touched his forehead uncomfortably: "Less than half a year."

Half a year!

Lin Wei was even more surprised.

Why was she so surprised? Because in Lin Wei's perception, Ji Chengjun likes young freshmen, not men like Qu Zhiheng who look stable and mature.

The department store queen in her previous life had boyfriends who were either Internet celebrities or celebrities, all of whom were young and fresh boys.

Although Ji Chengjun looks very feminine, she behaves like a cool girl. She changes boyfriends like she changes clothes. She is always photographed in and out of mansions or hotels with different young men.

Once her personality is established, it becomes a selling point.

Every time she reads the news, Lin Wei can see the comments below -

"This time it's mixed race, another day to envy my sister"

"What's going on with Sister Ji? Why is she so much older this time? She's already 25 "Last time, she was only 19."

"Wow, I'm so envious. Sister really only talks about young girls under 25 years old."

"Upstairs, one less girl is over 180. Sister Ji is indeed a role model for us."

"Yes, better than that one. " The pretentious Lin Wei

is much better, and she is really shot while lying down. Lin Wei's reputation is inexplicable. Wu Ming analyzed her at the time and said that she was a little careless when she spoke, and she also liked to act coquettishly. Sometimes the consonants are included, and in the end it is taken out of context, making it confusing.

This caused Lin Wei to become cautious when facing the media later, and would not speak unless there were any famous quotes. It was not until later, when Lin Wei got older, that the reputation began to improve.

In other words, it took a sudden turn. Many people treated her like a god and exaggerated her achievements, saying that she had never been married and had no children. In the end, it turned out that even the scandal was false, and she devoted all her time and energy to She has a rich career, a rich life experience, and a bumpy fate. She has made great contributions to society. It is said that she is the real heroine.

But what she felt at that time was not happiness, but fear.

If we define the heroine according to this, it would be too terrifying.

Once you define a certain person or a certain group, you are forcibly enclosing them in that box.

Why can't you be considered a heroine if you don't get married and have children? Isn’t a single mother raising a child a heroine?

Do people have to be successful in their careers?

So how do people who are born mediocre live? Did she not work hard enough?

Is this standard correct?

At that time, her understanding was not very deep, and she instinctively rejected this label.

What she wants to say now is that living hard is already a good thing.

Especially after Sheng Meiyun left, she had some new insights.

When Qu Zhiheng saw that Lin Wei had been silent, he couldn't help but asked: "Mr. Lin... is the company not allowed to fall in love?"

Ah?

Lin Wei calmed down and looked at him. She still didn't understand why her aesthetics had declined so much.

It’s been half a year, that means you’re very serious.

"If the company doesn't allow dating, I can..."

"Stop it." Lin Wei quickly stopped. She was not an old witch who wanted to break up young lovers.

Although as a manager, I don't really want to see office romance, it is too inhumane to stop this kind of thing.

She's not that domineering.

Qu Zhiheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mr. Lin, don't worry, our work will not be affected."

"I have nothing to worry about. I can just read the financial report. You really need to work harder to catch up with your girlfriend."

Lin Wei picked up a magazine and stopped the topic.

Today, Wu Ming came to pick him up at the airport, and Lin Wei was a little surprised.

"Why is it so good today?" Lin Wei smiled and gave him the suitcase, "The sun is coming out in the west."

Wu Ming's expression looked a little solemn.

"What's wrong?"

Wu Ming pushed the suitcase to the bodyguard and said, "Yuan Guodong's daughter is getting married, and the marriage has just been announced."

Lin Wei looked blank for a moment, then said "Oh" and said : "Isn't it normal to get married?"

Yuan Ruxin is twenty years old. In this era, she is indeed at the age to talk about marriage.

"The important thing is this marriage partner," Wu Ming said, "Don't you care?"

"I'm not marrying my daughter, what should I care about?" Lin Wei walked out with the crowd, her expression calm.

Wu Ming looked at her expression and said, "Are you sure? Haven't you always been preventing the marriage between Fu Wenfan and the Yuan family? Why doesn't it matter now?"

What?

Lin Wei looked up at him: "It's not Song Ye?"

"I didn't say it was Song Ye?" Wu Ming looked at her and said, "Why do you think it's Song Ye?"

"No..." Lin Wei stopped. , with doubts on his face, "Is Yuan Guodong crazy? Marry Yuan Ruxin to this beast like Fu Wenfan."

Wu Ming shook his head: "It's not Yuan Ruxin, it's the eldest daughter Yuan Ruyan."

Ha?

Lin Wei was completely confused this time.

How could it be?

Isn't Yuan Ruyan married? Did something happen to her?

"Yuan Ruyan got divorced because her husband cheated on her. She didn't tell her family about it. Later, she met Fu Wenfan in the United States. The two have now obtained a marriage certificate in the United States. Yuan Guodong only learned the news," Wu Ming paused and added, "In the newspaper."
