"Good evening, Dr. Luo Bao. Thank you for your invitation." song TIANYAO took the initiative to reach out to Luo Bao and asked him modestly.
Luo Bao held song TIANYAO's hand together, looked up and down at Song TIANYAO with some gray blue eyes, and said skillfully in Chinese: "Mr. Song is very young, and the younger generation is awesome."
"In front of Dr. Luo Bao, I dare not be called Mr. Song. If Dr. Luo Bao doesn't think I'm rude, he can call me ah Yao. Many elders call me that." song TIANYAO smiled at Luo Bao.
Luo Bao invited song TIANYAO to dinner. He did not arrange other guests, nor did he give a big banquet. Instead, he set the reception place in the back garden. It was midsummer. The garden was full of green grass and round leaves. He also led a live water winding through the garden. Beside the water, under two weeping willows carefully trimmed by the gardener, there were a table and two seats. Just look at this arrangement, Let song TIANYAO feel the heat dissipated.
Luo Bao was dressed casually. He wore ordinary shirts, trousers and no tie. The buttons were loose. His face was ruddy and his voice was loud. He was very satisfied that song TIANYAO called him Dr. Luo Bao instead of director Luo Bao or Mr. Luo Bao.
Luo Bao has an honorary doctorate from the University of Lisbon, Portugal, which is a recognition and recognition of Luo Bao's outstanding contributions to Macao's social, economic and other fields.
When the two sat at the table, Luo Bao folded his napkin and laid it on his lap, and said to song TIANYAO opposite:
"Oxfam Hong Kong, I heard them say, is a new charity in Hong Kong? How is it developing?"
"It is thriving and striving to grow." song TIANYAO adjusted his seat and said to Luo Bao, "of course, compared with the charitable contributions made by Dr. Luo Bao and Mr. He Xian in Macao, Oxfam Hong Kong's achievements are completely worthless."
The cook dressed as a cook and the waiter wearing snow-white gloves began to serve the two. The cold dish was fat and tender oysters drenched with lemon juice and smoked fish. The waiter poured a glass of champagne for the two. Song TIANYAO raised his glass and said politely to Luo Bao opposite, "thank you for your hospitality."
"You're welcome." Luo Bao took a sip of champagne, forked a piece of fish and sent it to his mouth, but his eyes were always fixed on song TIANYAO. After swallowing the food, he said:
"Today, I heard that you had a serious accident when you were doing charity and sending rice to the residents of Qingzhou district."
"A staff member of the Macao Chamber of Commerce who helped to send rice was shot and killed," song TIANYAO said to Luo Bao.
Luo Bao nodded gently and continued to ask in a relaxed tone: "I also heard that ah Yao seems to have some small contradictions with the Lin family in Hong Kong?"
Before the main course was served, Paul went straight to the subject first? Song TIANYAO was curious and seemed too excited about the whole thing.
Song TIANYAO put down the tableware in his hand, wiped the corners of his mouth and said to Luo Bao, "there are indeed some contradictions, and they are complex multiple contradictions."
"You should know the contradiction between me and the Lin family many years ago?" Luo Bao lowered his voice and seemed to sigh.
At that time, he was at most several years older than song TIANYAO opposite at this time. He was in the prime of life. Like the young people in front of him, he was full of ambition for the future. He felt that the whole city could be controlled by himself. Then, everything was ruined by Lin Xizhen, the Opium dealer.
He is now old. He can repent all his sins and show tolerance to those who have hurt himself, except the Lin family. The Lin family has not only hurt him, but also changed his subsequent life. If Lin Xizhen hadn't ruined his reputation, he shouldn't be old. He is still just the director of the Australian Economic Bureau. Luo Bao firmly believes in this.
Song TIANYAO said softly, "I've heard of it."
"Although brother Xian didn't tell me about you, I know that if there was no gate closing incident, he would introduce you to me, right?" Luo Bao took a drink from his glass and continued: "Don't deny or admit it. I know it's really inconvenient for brother Xian to introduce you to me in this case, but I became interested after I knew you. Especially after I heard about your trip to send rice in Qingzhou District, you must not only pity the poor."
"I thought I could catch a big fish with my own bait, but the Lin family was faster than I thought. Dr. Luo Bao, you should already know that Lin Xiyuan and Lin xishen had died of the hatred identified by the police." song TIANYAO pursed his lips and smiled bitterly: "in the end, I got nothing."
"No, no, no, don't be in a hurry to deny yourself. You caught me. I don't know if you thought about going to Qingzhou to send rice to draw each other's attention, but you did, otherwise you wouldn't sit with me for dinner tonight." Luo Bao looked at Song TIANYAO and said calmly: "Tell me about your plan, ah Yao, and see what I can do for young people like you?"
Song TIANYAO hesitated, glanced at Huang Liu in the distance, took back his eyes and looked at Luo Bao, who seemed to be too cheerful: "Dr. Luo Bao, with all due respect, what do you want?"
"It's my attitude that makes you doubt?" Luo Bao smiled. "It doesn't matter. It's normal. Many people in Macao react like you when they get my help. They feel like you. How can people like me be so easily talked about? What do you want?"
Luo Bao drank all the champagne in the glass and looked at Song TIANYAO. His wrinkled face was as sharp as a rock in the sunset:
"I don't like the Lin family. I want to find a young man to take care of the Lin family like Lin Xizhen took care of me when I was young."
"It's not just you, Dr. Luo Bao, what about the others?" song TIANYAO was very calm before he got Luo Bao's nod, but now after the white haired old man really promised to help him, song TIANYAO was a little nervous.
It seems that song TIANYAO is actually Luo Bao's knife to the Lin family. The knife has no decision-making power.
Luo Bao slowly breathed out: "he family?"
"And the Lu family, who married the he family," song TIANYAO added.
The chef gave the main course, a steak with a layer of sauce. Luo Bao cut a piece of beef and put it in his mouth: "why don't you tell me what you want?"
"I want the barren mountain of etou mountain, which is the most basic." song TIANYAO spoke frankly to Luo Bao.
Luo Bao seemed very satisfied with the taste of the beef. He nodded gently at the steak, then looked up and smiled at Song TIANYAO: "Ah Yao, you are a young man. I am full of good feelings for young people, but sometimes young people are prone to make some small mistakes. For example, they are still not comprehensive enough. In fact, you should think about what we will need first. I don't need anything. I just want to see the outcome of the Lin family. As for the he family, you should note that the he family has not expanded and developed in recent years, and its influence in Hong Kong The impact is gradually declining because the he family is not optimistic about the future of Hong Kong. The he family now owns several major newspapers and even cooperates with me to establish radio Macau, which is equivalent to the microphone of the British. They are not interested in land and buildings. If there is a war in Hong Kong one day, the land can not be moved to London. As for the Lu family, they do not need money. What they need is fame, regardless of incense Whether Hong Kong will be dominated by the British or the Chinese in the future, the high public reputation can ensure the status of the Lu family, so now you understand? If they are willing to help, what do they need? "
"The he family needs money, the Lu family needs prestige, Dr. Luo Bao, you need results." song TIANYAO lowered his head, took out a cigarette and lit it. After a minute or two, he raised his head and said to Luo Bao, "it's very difficult, but I can do it."
Luo baoha laughed, poured another glass of champagne and motioned to song TIANYAO: As like as two peas, "I can't believe you can be a kid, who can do no fear of bullets." young man, what a nice young man, you know, when the Aobama married me to serve me with the same food as tonight, it tastes delicious, right? But in twenty years, I can't find the delicious taste of that supper again. Do you know why?
Song TIANYAO cut a piece of veal and put it into his mouth: "because you betrayed each other's trust."
Luo Bao nodded seriously: "I think if you fail to live up to my trust tonight, it may be worse than my end."
Song TIANYAO ate the food, held the knife and fork, looked at Luo Bao, and said quietly, "the Lin family was actually no different from today. They still made the same mistakes. There is a Chinese saying that people like the Lin family were slow to hide and teach thieves and indulge in immorality, that is to say, they didn't realize their mistakes. How could I lose."
