The adjutant bowed slightly and continued, "In addition, we can also invite Miss Song to design exquisite promotional posters for some government projects, and even hold a unique exhibition themed around her paintings."
In this way, we can effectively enhance the overall cultural image of Hong Kong and allow more people to appreciate Ms. Song's amazing artistic talent.
After listening, Dai Zhi pondered for a moment, then nodded, indicating that he was quite satisfied with the suggestion.
He said softly, "Hmm, that's a very good idea. Then, you'll be in charge of the specific arrangements."
Remember to communicate properly with Ms. Song, but never use force to coerce her into doing things.” After saying that, he gave her a special reminder.
The adjutant, Ap, nodded knowingly and secretly rejoiced.
He thought to himself that if this matter could be successfully handled, he would not only be able to please the high and mighty governor, but it might also bring him unexpected benefits!
Thinking of this, the adjutant revealed an undisguised excitement on his face, then turned and left to begin preparing for further contact with Miss Song.
The adjutant, Apu, knew very well that Song Ziqing's husband, Lin Chengyu, was definitely a business prodigy.
This guy hasn't been in Hong Kong long, but his business has grown like a snowball, and his wealth has increased dozens of times in the blink of an eye!
If I could get in touch with someone like that, even just for the sake of the governor, he might lend me a hand and help me do some business together.
Back then, hehe...wouldn't I be on my way to great success?
Although his adjutant, Ap, was also British and held a certain position in Hong Kong, he had absolutely no roots in his home country of Britain—he was simply a soldier from a commoner background.
So, the only reason he was able to become Dai Zhi's adjutant was because his position made it less likely for him to have conflicts with others.
After all, he had no background or powerful connections, and the only person he could rely on was Governor-General Daiji.
Moreover, he has been in Hong Kong for three or four years and knows the situation here very well.
Dai Zhi also needs him to understand Hong Kong, and now he's sending him to contact Lin Chengyu and Song Ziqing, which makes Apu very happy.
He had long wanted to make contact with the Song family, but as the governor's adjutant, he dared not act rashly. After all, he was under the command of the chief governor, Dai Zhi, and he dared not take the initiative to befriend the Song family.
Apu was very clear that his biggest backer was Governor Dai Zhi, and no matter what the reason, the premise of his actions was not to harm Dai Zhi's interests.
After stepping out of the villa, Apu went straight to Song Ziqing and Lin Chengyu and stood quietly watching them practice Tai Chi.
At first, he thought it was just a set of boxing techniques that were all show and no substance.
However, when he witnessed the two actually fighting, he couldn't help but be amazed - their seemingly slow and leisurely moves, once they clashed, instantly revealed agile and fierce leg techniques and unstoppable movements, which were dazzling and even aroused his longing and desire to learn this set of boxing techniques.
Once the two had finished their movements, Apu could no longer contain his excitement and couldn't help but clap and cheer: "Wonderful! Wonderful! Absolutely exquisite! Miss Song and Mr. Lin, I have long admired your names! I am the Governor's adjutant, and I watched you two practice your boxing from the balcony just now, and I am deeply impressed."
"Mr. Ap, hello there. Is there anything you can do for us?"
Lin Chengyu knew Apu. He had met the adjutant to the governor a few times, though they were only nodding acquaintances each time. However, he knew that the man was intelligent.
Now that they've taken the initiative to come to us, it must be because of the Governor's intentions. Lin Chengyu also has his own thoughts on this. After all, they've come to us because Song Ziqing is a member of the Song family, and as a painter, he has gained a certain reputation in the United States and other countries.
Meanwhile, Song Zhiwen and Song Meiling from the Song family will also be coming to Hong Kong soon.
The two had originally planned to come to Hong Kong with Song Ziqing's family, but something came up in the United States and they couldn't come together.
We agreed to come to Hong Kong again in a week.
However, Lin Chengyu and his family took a lot of their luggage back to Hong Kong ahead of time.
Seeing that he spoke earnestly and sincerely, unlike those who were used to beating around the bush, Ap was secretly pleased and quickly got straight to the point: "The Governor and I heard that Miss Song held a grand art exhibition in the United States of America, and we couldn't help but yearn for it."
I've come today specifically to intrude, to inquire whether Miss Song would be interested in hosting another event in Hong Kong. If so, the Governor's Office will certainly provide full assistance, offering Miss Song all the necessary resources, from venue to connections.
Upon hearing this, Song Ziqing looked apologetic and said softly to Apu, "Mr. Apu, I am truly ashamed. I had already entrusted the matter of this art exhibition to Principal Newrus of our school. I feel very sorry for troubling the Governor and Your Excellency."
She bowed slightly to express her apology.
"It seems that Principal Newrus is a discerning person. If Hong Kong University helps you organize an art exhibition, Hong Kong University will have a better reputation in Hong Kong. It will even enhance its status in the UK."
Thinking about this, Apu felt that he and the Governor had planned too late. Otherwise, if the Governor's Office had helped Song Ziqing organize the art exhibition, they could have built up their connections in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong today has many wealthy people, but there are few, if not none, artists like Song Ziqing who can make a name for themselves abroad.
Even the art professors at Hong Kong University and the Chinese University of Hong Kong don't have much international recognition for their works.
These men, despite their advanced age, are no match for the young and beautiful Song Ziqing. Such a woman, possessing both talent and beauty, would truly become the dream lover of many men in Hong Kong and even the world.
Many people are well aware that, compared to movie stars, female painters are more likely to be remembered over time.
After all, her paintings will appreciate in value over time. If her fame continues to grow, she might only need to paint one piece to make enough to last her a lifetime.
Thinking of this, Apu was filled with envy for Lin Chengyu. "Mr. Lin, you really have excellent taste to have married Miss Song! You two are no ordinary people; one is a businessman, and the other is an artist. Your family is going to be very successful in the future!"
