Chapter 171

"Ten years ago, the horse racing here was approved by the King, so it was called the Hong Kong Jockey Club."

Lin Wei lives in Happy Valley, very close to the racecourse, but she has never been there once.

She doesn't even buy stocks, so naturally she has no interest in this kind of place.

But horse racing is in a way a business card of Hong Kong. Influenced by the British, horse racing has become a very fashionable leisure activity for the upper class.

It's just that after this thing landed in Hong Kong, there was a slight deviation. In the chaotic Hong Kong city, horse racing (horse racing lottery) is the only legal gambling in Hong Kong city now.

What does the port city have now?

It can be said that there is nothing, but horse racing has become the cultural calling card of Hong Kong.

The Jockey Club, which has the Royal Assent of the Emperor, is a high-end and people-friendly place. There is no better place to hold the Hong Kong Fashion Show than here.

“When choosing a horse, you first need to look at the condition of the horse, and secondly, you need to look at the jockey and past performance information. After understanding these, you can choose a horse to bet on. But if you want to be more professional, you can observe it for a while and buy some horses. Check out the newspaper, there are many different ways to bet on horse racing."

He skillfully pulled out a newspaper from the aisle and handed it to Lin Wei: "This is one of the best-selling newspapers in Hong Kong."

"Eight taels. , Eight taels!"

A shout like a mountain roaring and a tsunami suddenly came from the front.

The place they were in was still some distance from the racecourse, but the fanatical shouts of the horsemen could still be heard clearly. It seemed that everyone was shouting with all the strength of their throats. It was definitely an occasion rich in dopamine.

Ba Liang is probably the name of a certain horse.

Lin Wei glanced at it and took the newspaper: "You know this place very well."

"Chu Aidong and my mother met here, but when he got older, he didn't like horse racing very much..." He paused After a while, he said, "He once had a favorite horse named Yongjie."

Lin Wei was stunned for a moment, and didn't know what to say for a while.

She thought the name Chu Yongjie was good before, but she didn't expect it to have this origin.

Yongjie...will you always be one step ahead?

It turns out that the outstanding thing is not the man but the horse.

Compared to Yinghao and Yingshao, this name is indeed a bit ironic.

Lin Wei put the newspaper back and said: "My name used to be Fang Yantang and now I am called Lin Wei. One was named by my grandfather and the other by my grandmother. They both have very good meanings. However, I found that the name is not that important. What is important is You need to know who you are and what you want to do? Only you know if you want to be Yongjie or Hengxi."

Chen Hengxi's expression was slightly dull. He looked at the newspaper that Lin Wei hadn't even read. After a while, he said, "You're right."

Just as the person in charge of the racecourse came out to greet them, he changed the topic.

Chen Hengxi is acting as a consultant today, helping Lin Wei check and do some simple communication.

Because it is a project involving the government, the racecourse has no reason to refuse.

Things went smoothly.

When she returned, Lin Wei started preparing materials for the next meeting in the car. Her schedule was all set.

The car drove to the city hall, where Wu Ming was waiting for her.

Chen Hengxi looked at her focused look and asked suddenly. "What kind of man do you like?"

Lin Wei glanced at him and said, "I am a strong person, and the man I like must be better than me."

Chen Hengxi was stunned and said, "Then your requirements are a bit high. " Ah."

"Is it higher?" Lin Wei kept her hands on her hands. The moving car didn't affect her movements. Maybe she was used to it and she didn't get car sick. "Either you can make more money than me or you are better than me." Good looks, high IQ, and good character are all considered better than me. Whether he has me or not, he is still better than me."

Chen Hengxi nodded lightly, and then said: "But it's not that simple, just. The people you mentioned who are particularly good in one category are actually not difficult to find, but you are still alone now."

Lin Wei looked at the standards in the information and said, "Of course it's not just about being good in one category. If you are particularly good-looking, you can lower the requirements for others, but you have to reach the excellent level. And even if I like it, it doesn't mean that the other person will like me. The chance is very low. "

She said and looked at Chen Hengxi. : "Why are you suddenly curious about this?"

Chen Hengxi crossed his legs, put his right hand on the watch in his left hand, met Lin Wei's eyes, and said, "Chu Aidong asked me to pursue you."

Lin Wei was stunned for two seconds, and then said : "He is really changing the soup without changing the medicine. He plans to eat it all over the world with one trick."

After saying that, she returned her attention to the document in her hand and did not continue the topic. Apparently she had no other opinions to express.

Chen Hengxi did not take his eyes back and kept looking at her. The first time he met Lin Wei, she was still a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old. She looked very immature and seemed to be unable to hide things. Her dislike for him was all written on her He still didn't know if Lin Wei did it on purpose.

"How old are you?" Chen Hengxi asked again.

"Twenty-two, what?"

"I was twenty-four when I met you, and now I am twenty-eight. Do you think it is possible for us to get together?"

Chen Hengxi's soft voice sounded in the car, accompanied by this The air seemed to be stagnant for a few seconds after he made a paradoxical confession, and even the driver subconsciously looked at the two people behind the car through the rearview mirror.

Lin Wei sighed softly and said, "After using some tricks once, you can only use them on fools the second time. Do you think I'm stupid?"

"I'm serious." Chen Hengxi said.

Lin Wei tightened her grip slightly, then looked at Chen Hengxi and smiled: "What do you think? With Wen Jiayue's precedent, do you think I will still be fooled?"

"No..." Chen Hengxi explained. He said, "I'm serious this time. Wen Jiayue and I are basically..."

"Stop!" Lin Wei suddenly asked the driver to stop.

The driver was very obedient and stopped on the side of the road as soon as he stepped on the accelerator.

"Get off the car!" Lin Wei said to Chen Hengxi.

Chen Hengxi was stunned for a few seconds, and then said: "I don't understand, why do you hate me so much? It seems that you were prejudiced against me the first time we met."

Lin Wei smiled sarcastically and said: "What did you want to say just now? You are not serious about Wen Jiayue, you are just playing around, right? A person who is not serious about feelings, then what can he be serious about? "

Chen Hengxi raised his hand, as if he didn't know what to do. He calmed down a little, and then said: "...I admit that I did a stupid thing, but people will change. At that time, I only wanted to Climb up, to fight back to Xiangjiang, to make Chu Aidong regret... This was my survival rule at the time. I didn't think so much at all at the time. As long as I could achieve my goal, I didn't care what means I used. But it's different now. I really like you."

Lin Wei scratched her hair, let out a breath, and then looked at him: "You know? People's feelings are passed in both directions. If you don't like someone, that person probably doesn't like you either. Yes, you said you like me, which is impossible. All the signals I send you are displeasure and boredom. From what you just said, it proves that you have received it, so even if you don’t hate me, it’s impossible to like me. My..."

Chen Hengxi was stunned. This was the first time he heard this theory. When he met Lin Wei's gaze, his eyes dodge for a moment. When he looked at Lin Wei again, he only heard the other party say - -

"You are insincere from head to toe. You have negative marks for your character. I didn't like you before and I will never like you in the future. Get out of the car and don't let me say it again."

Chen Hengxi He was kicked out of the car just like that.

First time in life.

He doesn't understand that after a person is confessed, even if he doesn't like it, he should still feel a little joy of being appreciated and affirmed.

Why was he kicked out of the car?

He had anticipated various possibilities before, but he did not expect Lin Wei's reaction to be like this.

Chen Hengxi stood on the side of the road with his hands on his hips, looking at the cars speeding by. He felt annoyed and angry for a while, but also a little funny.

Finally, he fished out a few coins and walked to the phone booth.

"Come out for a drink."

"Chen Hengxi, are you sick? Who do you think you are, and you think this is the past?"

Su Tianrui on the other end of the phone scolded him directly.

"If you don't come out, I will call Wen Jiayue and tell you that you used to go to nightclubs in Taiwan..."

"What the hell!" Su Tianrui said angrily, "Chen Hengxi, if you dare, I will kill your whole family!"

"Then you come out! Not coming out?"

Forty minutes later, the two of them were sitting in a private room of a restaurant.

Su Tianrui had a look of resentment on his face, while Chen Hengxi drank one cup after another without realizing it.

"What did I think it was? It turned out that he was seeking death. If he drank to death, don't ask me to collect his body." Su Tianrui said with a strange expression.

"So once a person does something wrong, can't he be forgiven?" Chen Hengxi raised his head and looked at him.

Su Tianrui hugged his chest: "It depends on what happened. It's better to just bury it like this."

Chen Hengxi smiled, poured a glass of white wine, and said: "I will formally apologize to you today. It was me who was wrong before, no I know how valuable my friends are, but I regret it now."

Su Tianrui said coldly: "No need, you are so good at cheating, who knows whether you are real or not?"

Chen Hengxi drank the wine in one gulp with a sharp taste. It was spicy. He waited for a while and then said: "It's up to you whether you forgive me or not, and it's up to me whether I apologize or not. I actually wanted to talk to you a long time ago, but you never gave me this chance."

Su Tianrui said with a cold face: " So you threaten me?"

Chen Hengxi breathed out, feeling drunk: "I don't know what to do? It seems that nothing is right... I wonder if you still remember that day when the Gu family and I bought shares in Tea Love? After the reception, I saw the three of you chasing each other on the road. I thought where did these three idiots come from

? Are you a fool?"

Chen Hengxi laughed twice, with a hint of drunkenness in his eyes: "I was actually jealous at that time. I just couldn't see clearly. How could you laugh so happily? I've never laughed like this before. It's so jealous..."

Even after so much time, he could still clearly remember the three people running on the road, laughing.

The smile was sincere and joyful, which was so impactful.

Su Tianrui said nothing.

Chen Hengxi leaned on the table and whispered: "Tianrui...I'm sorry, I really want to be friends with you now, but you don't believe me. I messed up the matter."

Su Tianrui looked at the man lying on the table . Chen Hengxi didn't know what to do for a while.

After a while, he stood up and was about to go out.

"Do you want to call Lin Wei and ask her if I am lying to you?" Chen Hengxi said suddenly.

Su Tianrui paused, feeling a little angry.

"You'd better not. I just confessed to her and was thrown on the street."

Huh?

Su Tianrui sat back down again. He looked at Chen Hengxi with a complicated expression, searching, curious, and a little sarcastic.

"What do you think?" Su Tianrui asked.

"What do you think?" Chen Hengxi let out a depressed breath, "If you like it

, just confess it." "Then you really deserve it. You don't care about the person you confess to," Su Tianrui hugged his chest, looking like a master, "Song Ye knows, right? "He was kicked out because he confessed to the boss."

"Really?" Chen Hengxi was stunned.

Why?

Su Tianrui nodded decisively: "Really."

Who cares if it's true or not? Anyway, he couldn't let the boss and Chen Hengxi be together.

"If you believe me, you will never mention this matter in front of her again. Just pretend that nothing happened and just do things silently. Maybe you will change your mind one day? A woman like the boss is definitely different from ordinary girls. It’s different, she doesn’t like to be passive, she must take the initiative to pursue it.” Lin

Wei

sneezed.

Wu Ming saw this and handed her the coat.

Seeing this, Fang Jiahui poured her a glass of hot water.

Lin Wei thanked her and took it. She was not cold, but the people around her took good care of her.

In the conference room, except for their people, the rest were British officials.

The Hong Kong government has taken many measures recently, but after many measures, the one that wants to be effective in the short term is the Hong Kong Fashion Show.

Therefore, the government attaches great importance to it and has sent people to help plan it together.

"We are communicating with the British side, and they are coordinating the Queen's itinerary. If there is no problem with safety, the Queen is likely to attend this event, so we will add a link to the launch ceremony of the event."

Wu Ming's hand The pen paused, and he raised his head to look at the British official who was speaking.

Queen?

Did he hear it right?

Then he looked at Lin Wei, had she expected it?

It turned out that the other party also had a shocked expression.

Fang Jiahui was also stunned. She couldn't understand English, but Lin Wei assigned her a translator. She checked with the translator and confirmed that the translator was talking about the queen, so she covered her mouth.

She looked at Lin Wei with some surprise. They had done a big thing this time. When they went back to Yuan Guodong, there was something easy to say.

The Queen has never been to Xiangjiang before.

Yuan Guodong has never seen her. She did something more powerful than her husband.

She patted Lin Wei's hand happily.

The expression on Lin Wei's face was a little complicated for a moment. She didn't know how to react at this time. Should she respond calmly or show a little surprise?

The impact of the Hong Kong Governor's speech was too bad, so now they plan to move out the Queen to put out the fire?

When the Queen comes, she will definitely not just attend one Hong Kong fashion show.

Lin Wei wrote in her diary the grand occasion of the Queen's arrival in Hong Kong, which lasted three days and two nights. She had already bought a restaurant at that time. The restaurant's business was particularly good during those days. She called the Queen "Shitou Po" in her diary at that time. I hope she stays a few more days to create more revenue for her.

But that was in 1975, and now it's five years early.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

In 1975, Xiangjiang was developing at its fastest pace and was prospering. A large number of public housing estates were built. Gangs and corrupt forces were deterred by the Independent Commission Against Corruption. The stock market was recovering and the financial industry was booming. It was Xiangjiang that became internationally renowned. When she became famous in the world, except for the opposition from the Hong Kong University Student Union and some social groups, people did not show much resistance to the Queen's coming to Hong Kong. People lined up to welcome her, and some said it was "an unprecedented event in Hong Kong." .

But in such a sensitive period now, when people's livelihood is suffering, the water is in dire straits, and the resentment is at its highest, receiving the queen must be a waste of people and money. Lin Wei feels that it is difficult to say how things will develop in the end.

She feels that the Queen's visit to Hong Kong is an unknown, and it is very likely that after many considerations, the Queen will eventually abandon this plan.

This is another unpredictable direction.
