Chapter 167

"They are all looking at you."

In the business world, Lin Wei is always the most conspicuous one.

Mainly reflected in the fact that after scanning around, there is not a single handsome man or beauty in sight, there are just a group of old men, either Chinese old men or foreign old men. Forty years old is already considered very young.

However, the big guys are wearing suits and leather ties, regardless of their origins, they all look elegant now.

So in the large conference room of the Hong Kong City Hall, Lin Wei and Song Ye were like two aliens intruding.

The end of an era can be because of an event or a person.

David stepped down.

The matter of the old post office was mentioned again. Whether to abolish the bid and restart it, the government said that it would consider the opinions of other companies, so nearly 30 real estate companies gathered together and held a meeting with the government.

Kuman and Lin Wei sat together, and he was very sensitive to the glances from around him.

"Have they never seen a woman?" Cuman was very rude.

"Keep your voice down." Lin Wei reminded him in a low voice.

"I admit that the customs and culture of China and the UK are very different, but this is really impolite."

Kuman was undoubtedly arrogant. He did not lower his voice. The people around him were embarrassed. What he said made the audience confused. Lin Wei's people will feel uncomfortable. Fortunately, some people can't understand English.

Lin Wei was melancholy. Kuman was really too hateful. He probably thought he was being tactful because he used the sentence pattern of "although but".

Zeng Zhifeng on the side smiled: "Mr. Kuman, you have to understand that everyone will inevitably want to take a look at this strange woman who took down the Hong Kong governor."

"No..." Lin Wei quickly denied, "Everyone has misunderstood "How is that possible? This matter has nothing to do with me."

"What are you afraid of?" Kuman said before Zeng Zhifeng could say anything, "I've had enough of David's idiot. He is simply an embarrassment to the British." "You've obviously done something good, why are you afraid that everyone will know?"

Lin Wei: "..."

Is it because she doesn't understand the British mind, or is Kuman a weird person?

Pfft...

I don't know who laughed, and others also laughed.

It's not that I'm laughing at it, but the combination of Kuman and Lin Wei looks so interesting. A young Chinese girl tries her best to keep a low profile and reduce her presence, but the arrogant British man next to her unconsciously gives her Looking for attention, for fear that others will not know her great achievements.

The ages of the two seem to have been reversed, with the mature one looking more childish.

However, what surprised everyone was that Lin Wei looked so harmless. She didn't look like the devil demonized in the newspapers or an elite queen in the workplace. She just looked like a pretty little girl. She was wearing the clothes she wore today. Wearing a white waist-length skirt and a long blue shirt, it is simple and elegant, and there is a very ordinary and inconspicuous temperament flowing around her.

Looking at it this way, it's hard to imagine that both Ron and David fell into her hands.

Everyone was chatting and laughing together, and the atmosphere was very relaxed. Many people were busy with their careers and had not seen each other for a long time, so they exchanged greetings.

At this time, most people have a greedy mentality and are mostly curious. They want to see how the government handles this matter. However, there are only some people who cannot stay out of the matter and cannot relax at all.

Mrs. Eaton is not here today, and Freeman is attending the meeting on her behalf.

The laughter around him felt like a slap in the face.

Fortunately, Emily didn't come. It's hard to imagine what kind of looks she would have to bear.

Now everyone agrees that Fu Sheng obtained the land of the old General Post Office through unconventional means.

In the past, he could have no scruples because he knew what kind of person David was, but now...

Freeman looked at Lin Wei. This woman had a pretentious smile on her face at the moment, playing both sides and pretending to be honest. She looks like this, but he knows better than anyone how evil-hearted this woman is, and she can even think of ways to do it that don't bring her to the forefront.

Not long after, the conference room became quiet, and Acting Governor Donovan appeared with the staff of the city hall.

Walking around the long conference table, a group of people walked to the front.

Except for a few Chinese assistants and translators, they are all British.

"Everyone has been waiting for a long time. Thank you very much for coming. Regarding the bidding issue of the Old General Post Office, we would like to hear your opinions." Acting Governor Donovan spoke.

Donovan is exercising his powers as the acting Governor of Hong Kong. There is a high probability that he will not succeed as Governor of Hong Kong. The main reason is to clean up the mess left by David.

As the governor of Hong Kong, David said this. If nothing is done, a third storm is very likely to break out in the port city. This is something the British do not want to see anyway.

In order to do a good job of appeasing the citizens, they are "firefighting" on several hotly debated issues.

Gang problems, corruption problems, and housing problems cannot be solved in a short time, but there are a few easy solutions, such as passing the six-year free compulsory education proposal, such as investigating the shady issues of the old post office, and they can all take some action.

“Regarding the controversy caused by the old post office, we have two alternatives. One is to directly cancel the winning bidder and re-bid at another date. We will strive to ensure that the process is fair, open and transparent, and accept supervision and reports from all walks of life at any time; The other is to set up a special investigation team to conduct a comprehensive investigation of this incident. If it really involves bribery and corruption, we will punish the relevant personnel and companies, cancel the original winning bidder, and re-open the bid. However, if the investigation results do not involve the above The problem is, just keep the original bidding results unchanged. "

This time the Hong Kong government's attitude is very good, but in Lin Wei's view, they are still trying to make peace.

Obviously, everyone is more willing to accept the first option. On the one hand, they do not trust these people to really investigate anything. If they investigate themselves, they will only maintain the original results. This is not worth the loss for everyone. ;On the other hand, if Fu Sheng is not innocent, then others are innocent? With such a trend, I am afraid that many people here have tried some tricks. Those who rushed to submit the tender documents at the last moment had problems. It was just that they missed a move and failed in the end.

If we really investigate, there's no telling how many people will be involved.

"Don't worry, everyone," Donovan promised. "If everyone agrees to the investigation, we will definitely find out. We will never let go of any speculator and guarantee to give everyone a convincing explanation."

When he said this, everyone was stunned for a moment. It’s not easy to speak out either.

If you choose the first one, you might expose yourself; if you choose the second one, you might offend others.

Seeing that no one was speaking, Donovan looked at Lin Wei: "Ms. Lin, what do you think? Which option do you prefer?"

Huh?

Lin Wei moved her eyes back from the water bottle in front of her.

She couldn't help but curse, if this was left to future generations, why would it be necessary to hold such a meeting and directly investigate it? How could the controversy be settled without investigation?

But the situation is different now, the implications are a bit big, and the Hong Kong government doesn’t want to offend these business owners at this time.

The choice is left to them, and there is nothing to say about the final result.

Lin Wei didn't want to stand out like this. When people are not famous, they have to do something to highlight their existence and let everyone see themselves. But now she wishes no one would see her and just treat her like nothing. , she doesn’t want to do such offending things again.

She didn't know why Donovan asked her, whether he wanted her to get ahead of him, or whether he wanted to deliberately embarrass her, or he was simply bored because of her fame and wanted to hear her "high opinions".

But the result was destined to disappoint him.

Lin Wei raised her hand, leaned back slightly, and made a defensive dodge: "I... don't have any opinion, I can do it. It depends on everyone. I will choose whatever you choose."

Her performance seemed to be that of a He's careless and doesn't know how to look good.

Kuman beside him frowned. He didn't quite understand why the woman who had been back and forth with him back then and wouldn't give up until she achieved her goal was so cowardly today.

Donovan looked a little disappointed and looked back at the others.

"If you have any ideas, you can mention them directly without any scruples," Donovan emphasized again, "We will act according to everyone's will."

After the conference room was quiet for a few seconds, someone finally expressed his attitude: "Actually, we are concerned about It’s the final ownership of this land. As for what happened before, it doesn’t mean anything to us. As long as we can ensure fairness in the future, we have no objection.” The person who spoke was the person in charge of Dah Sing Group, which is a Chinese company. capital enterprise.

Someone started, and others immediately echoed.

"Yes, if the government can provide us with a platform for fair competition, that will be fine. We are not in the mood to pursue past matters. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive. There is no need..."

"Fart!"

Suddenly a national curse rang out in the conference room. got up.

Lin Wei wanted to keep a low profile and not offend anyone, but some people were not afraid of this.

The person who cursed was Chen Yaoguo, the chairman of the Blum Group, who is known for his bad temper: "Investigation, must be investigated! Why not investigate? Those who disagree with the investigation show that they have something up their sleeves. I would like to see who would be careless at this time? "

have to!

This is awesome.

Once these words are spoken, who dares to echo them? Whoever agrees not to investigate or pursue the case is the one who is doing something wrong.

The big hat will be placed directly on you.

Lin Weixiao looked at Chen Yaoguo, sometimes it was necessary for someone like this to step in and deal with these old guys.

As a result, the next second, she saw Song Ye next to Chen Yaoguo.

Song Ye seems to be sorting out the documents at hand at the moment. There is no need for any information in this meeting. It can only be said that he has brought his work with him. Lin Wei has not seen Song Ye for a long time. The young man now looks more upright and handsome. His focused look is very elegant and calm. His elegant and refined temperament is incompatible with the people around him. The so-called modest gentleman, as gentle as jade, is probably this. appearance.

Perhaps sensing Lin Wei's gaze, Song Ye suddenly raised his head.

Lin Wei quickly moved her eyes away, suddenly experiencing severe heart palpitations.

She was a little annoyed that she didn't live up to expectations. She had been deliberately not paying attention to Song Ye today to avoid losing her composure, but she accidentally glanced at him and ended up like this.

This was the first time she had encountered this kind of situation in her long life. It was okay not to see anyone, but after seeing someone, it turned into a longing.

The so-called time did not dilute the feeling, but turned into a regret that could not be obtained.

After all, Song Ye was so good-looking, he fit her perfectly from head to toe, and was simply her ideal model.

Sometimes she wonders, is it because she hasn't gotten it before?

If he succeeds, will it be so...

what a mess. Lin Wei raised her hand and slapped her forehead. Calm down, and still treat herself as a little girl?

Lin Wei's move was a bit abrupt, and then she noticed that the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

"What are you doing?" Kuman asked confused.

ah?

Lin Wei raised her head, faced the glances from those around her, and forced a smile: "Sorry, there are mosquitoes, please continue."

She felt worried, what?

So love is said to be harmful to the brain. In such an important meeting, she is actually thinking about a man. Isn't it good to watch a show?

Lin Wei just interrupted Chen Yaoguo's output.

Many people thought she did it on purpose, because Chen Yaoguo had already begun to point at Donovan's nose and curse.

The scene of Hong Kong Governor David's live broadcast on TV made many people feel annoyed and angry. In the past few days, people went to the Hong Kong Governor's Office to petition, asking the British Hong Kong government to severely punish David, and the trend became increasingly fierce.

As a Chinese, it is difficult not to feel indignant. Chen Yaoguo is a patriotic businessman and naturally cannot tolerate this kind of thing.

As soon as he started talking, he couldn't help but take his anger out on Donovan. The translator behind Donovan had a depressed and troubled expression on his face. It's not the translation, nor is it not the translation.

Lin Wei seemed to remind Chen Yaoguo that it was time to stop.

Chen Yaoguo also reacted at this moment. He coughed twice and continued: "Only a thorough investigation can let everyone see the determination and attitude of the Hong Kong government. The first option is to practice Tai Chi to minimize big problems. If the bidding is fair from the beginning, then the first option is unfair to Fusheng. In the future, everyone will rush to imitate it. If they make a fuss, they can deprive the other party of the fruits of their efforts. This is absolutely undesirable... The Hong Kong Government If we can really do what we promised, strictly investigate and give everyone a satisfactory result, then there is no doubt that we should choose the second option, otherwise we will be taking advantage of the chaos, with bad intentions and guilty conscience.

" The speech was reasonable and well-founded, but some people seemed to be hesitant to speak. They wanted to refute but didn't know how to refute, and they felt uncomfortable.

After Donovan finished listening to the translation, he looked at everyone: "Mr. Chen said it very well. I wonder if you agree with his speech?"

No one spoke.

At least half of the people here are innocent and don't care about the investigation. Some people just have a lucky mentality. The Hong Kong government may not be serious about it, and things are not that easy to investigate.

Donovan finally looked at Freeman: "Mr. White, what do you mean by Fu Sheng?"

Freeman said expressionlessly: "Fu Sheng has no objection."

At this time, he wanted to choose the first option, that is It’s no longer self-inflicted.

In the end, everyone reached a consensus that the government would set up a special investigation team to wait until the results were available, and then decide whether to re-tender based on the results of the investigation.

The reporters outside waited for two hours. As soon as they went out, the big guys were surrounded.

"Give way, we are in a hurry." As soon as the bodyguard stretched out his hand, the reporters suddenly swarmed in the direction behind them.

Then, everyone saw reporters surrounding Lin Wei who had just left the house.

"Have you seen the video of David publicly apologizing? What do you think about it? Do you think he is sincerely remorseful?"

"Li's TV station said it was a live broadcast accident by the director, and explained that the newcomer was inexperienced. You made them do this. "You said that?"

"How did you come up with this idea?"

"Is this a revenge?"

Lin Wei stopped and looked at the reporter blocking the front steps and said, "I need to clarify this matter. It has nothing to do with me, and I didn't expect Mr. David to have such a terrible idea. I hope everyone will not make such associations."

"You mean the Hong Kong governor's live broadcast accident was not caused by you?"

"No," Lin said. Wei put on her sunglasses and asked the bodyguard to clear the way for her.

There were too many reporters, and Lin Wei struggled to move. She was like the queen bee leading a swarm of bees, moving little by little toward the car under the steps.

Only when she got into the car could she breathe.

When the reporters outside the car saw this, they could only disperse.

As the car drove slowly, Lin Wei saw Chen Hengxi helping Chu Aidong down the steps step by step. It seemed that he had a prosthetic leg installed.

"It's hard work." Lin Wei commented.

Wu Ming said: "They have a Chinese bank in their hands, so they naturally have great expectations for the old post office."

Lin Wei didn't look back until Chu Aidong and the two were thrown behind by the car.

"It's better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies, don't you think so?" she said suddenly.

Um?

Wu Ming looked at Lin Wei in confusion: "What do you want to do?"

"How about cooperation?" Lin Wei said, "If we join forces with Dongfang Industrial, will the chance of winning the bid be greater?"

Wu Ming looked at her, He said nothing, as if to confirm whether she was joking.
