The sky is clean, the central Wharf in Hong Kong, the sea in Victoria Harbor is choppy, and the ship shadow is like weaving.
Song TIANYAO, with a few strands of white temples, leaned his hands on the rusty guardrail and looked ahead. Tsim Sha Tsui in Kowloon opposite was clearly visible.
Huang Liu behind him had grown a long beard and his face was full of wind and frost marks. At this time, he sent the driver who was coming over, came over with his windbreaker and helped song TIANYAO put it on his shoulder.
"It's been 30 years in a flash." song TIANYAO took back his eyes, looked at Huang Liu with emotion and said, "when I left, I was like a lost dog. I didn't expect to return to my hometown after 30 years."
"I'm not the same. When I first went to Malaysia, I thought the bone would still be in Sabah. I didn't expect to come back now." Huang Liu took out his cigarette, lit it, took a sip and said.
Seeing Huang Liu smoking, song TIANYAO reached out to get the cigarette box in Huang Liu's hand. Huang Liu neatly put the cigarette box away: "don't think, quit smoking. Your whole family told me to take a cigarette and deduct my salary for a year."
"Let them deduct it. Your dividend in Pangu bank is not enough for you to spend?" song TIANYAO frowned discontentedly. "The most important thing in life is happiness. If you can't eat cigarettes and drink alcohol, you can't enjoy the appetite all day. What fun is there in living with more money? Have fun in time!"
"Wow, you will become me in 30 years?" a neutral voice came from behind, teasing song TIANYAO.
Song TIANYAO and Huang Liu turned around. Chu Xiaoxin, wearing a long black woolen coat, was coming over. It was obvious that they heard what song TIANYAO had just said.
"With a righteous face, do you become me now?" song TIANYAO grinned when he saw Chu Xiaoxin.
Chu Xiaoxin threw over a cigar to song TIANYAO: "of course I won't be you. I don't have as much money as you do because I can have the name of your money boy."
After Chu Yaozong's death, Chu Xiaoxin first followed his father-in-law's advice and went away to Britain to develop business. Relying on the Lu family's contacts in British upper class society, he took a firm step in British shopping malls and gradually expanded. He mainly made drugs and medical devices. He returned to Hong Kong at the age of 45. Now he has succeeded his brother as a member of the Legislative Council and Secretary General of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong, Chu Ershao, who indulged in romantic affairs in those years, was already a famous Mr. Chu in Hong Kong's business circles.
Song TIANYAO opened the lid of the cigar. Next to Chu Xiaoxin, brother Fu, the gray haired driver, came and helped song TIANYAO light the cigar with his portable igniter. Song TIANYAO smiled and thanked brother Fu, and then looked at Chu Xiaoxin: "Hey, brother Fu has been riding for you all his life. His hair has been gray. Are you willing to let him go? Capitalist, are you human?"
"Mr. Song, you must not say that about Mr. Chu. Mr. Chu asked me to be the vice president of the company several times. I don't want to go. Besides, I can't eat all the interest on the shares given to me by Mr. Chu. I can't stay idle. I can only drive." when song TIANYAO teased Chu Xiaoxin, brother Fu immediately explained.
Chu Xiaoxin waved his hand and signaled that it didn't matter. Brother Fu retreated towards the car. Chu Xiaoxin and song TIANYAO stood side by side by the Victoria Harbour, looking at the rolling waves and biting cigars in his mouth:
"I've been in Britain for 20 years before I know that it's really not easy to do business. I can't treat myself as a person. However, I sometimes think that it's better if I have my father-in-law and family to take care of me in Britain. A fool left everything and ran to Malaysia to start with nothing. I don't know if it will be worse than me. The fool who threw himself into the street is the most sad. I wait for him Chu Xiaoxin turned his face to song TIANYAO and pointed his finger at Song TIANYAO's sideburns: "that's 51 years old. His hair is white!"
Song TIANYAO smiled at Chu Xiaoxin and whispered in Chu Xiaoxin's ear, "of course, I can't compare with you. Now I'm full of black hair. Hey, don't think I don't know. If someone says I know, you rely on antler and seahorse for three meals!"
"Cough!" Chu Xiaoxin coughed violently after hearing this: "which one embarrasses me behind my back? Wow, Malaysia is so far from Hong Kong that it can reach your ears?"
"Of course, your wife and best friend told me," song TIANYAO said with a smile.
"Let's go! The conference of the donation ceremony will begin in two hours." Chu Xiaoxin didn't want to continue this topic, so he turned and walked towards the car.
"So urgent?" song TIANYAO said with a smile behind Chu Xiaoxin, just like in those years.
Chu Xiaoxin tried to hide his embarrassment on his face: "of course, I'm in a hurry. After the donation ceremony at Marino middle school, didn't you ask our uncles to help Xiuer on a blind date? Hey, Xiuer is only married this year? She's almost 40 years old? You Godfather really have nothing to say."
"It's none of my business to have a high eye? What's the meaning of your eyes?" song TIANYAO saw Chu Xiaoxin's despised eyes and immediately apologized: "she is now the president of the Republic of Sabah of Pangu bank, not to mention ordinary talents. Even her boss Shen Bi doesn't like her. Blame me?"
"Who's on the blind date this time? No, we're about the same age. Call us big brother and little brother at that time!" Chu Xiaoxin deliberately embarrassed song TIANYAO and talked about Wu Xiuer.
After graduation, Wu Xiuer went to university in the UK and then went to the United States to study for a doctorate in business. Before that, she worked at JPMorgan Chase, then joined Pangu bank, and finally started work for song TIANYAO like her dead father salted fish tie.
Wu Xiuer was a little timid when she was a child, but as an adult, Wu Xiuer was very strong, just like a strong woman, decisive and decisive.
"You should know." song TIANYAO helped Chu Xiaoxin open the door and said next to him.
Seeing song TIANYAO open the door, Chu Xiaoxin was stunned and said to song TIANYAO, "Hey, you're so polite."
"I haven't done it for 30 years. I've had my hands. Look for opportunities. Now my wives don't need me to open the door when they go out," song TIANYAO said.
When the two got on the bus, Chu Xiaoxin asked, "which one is it?"
"Gao Jiarong." song TIANYAO said a name: "his name is Gao Minghui."
"Gao Jiarong, Gao Minghui... Gao Minghui... Shiye Hui!" Chu Xiao believed for a while before his name came back and blurted out.
Song TIANYAO nodded: "nine years younger than Xiuer. He's just 30 years old this year. His father forced him to marry Xiuer. He said that if he didn't see Xiuer marry into the Gao family before he died, he would let his son clean out of the house."
"Hahaha, shiye Hui didn't admit that he was interested in sister-in-law Fen? He couldn't marry sister-in-law Fen, so he let his son go to ah Shuan's daughter!" Chu Xiaoxin smoked his cigar and coughed a few times.
After song TIANYAO ran away, shiye Hui was also very simple and witty. Instead of listening to his secretary's advice, he played steadily in Hong Kong. Instead, he followed suit and went to Sabah, Malaysia. Now he is already the leader of Chinese businessmen in the Republic of Sabah. He is not much weaker than Chu Xiaoxin in Hong Kong.
"What does his son do?" Chu Xiaoxin asked after coughing.
Song TIANYAO shrugged: "be a director of the Enterprise Development Bureau in Sabah."
"Ah ~ ~ ~" Chu Xiaoxin exaggerated an expression of sudden enlightenment, pointed to song TIANYAO and shouted. Song TIANYAO said to Chu Xiaoxin, "Hey, is this boring?"
"Anyway, Sabah can't escape your palm, right?" Chu Xiaoxin said.
Song TIANYAO turned his head and looked out of the window: "surname song, surname Gao, surname Lu. In short, it's better to have a hundred Chinese surnames than an English surname."
When the car drove into Marino middle school in Kowloon, I happened to see several young people fighting outside the school. One of them was full of hostility and Defiance on his face. He pointed to five or six opponents and shouted, "come on, I like one to beat five!"
Without any stop, the car drove past these teenagers and entered the school.
"Seeing these guys, is it like when I went to Lichi nightclub with you to beat Zhang Rongjin's dry son?" Chu Xiaoxin asked song TIANYAO as if he remembered the past.
Song TIANYAO agreed on his face: "of course, you were so grumpy at that time that you often hit people with money."
"Rush to the street, do you have Alzheimer's disease now? It's you who are grumpy. Before I speak, you just hold a beer and burst each other's head! It's you who sprinkle money all over the world. How else did you get the title of money boy?"
"Wow, now I'm old, useless and ruthless, right? I won't admit that I was ordered by you at the beginning? You have to say so. Be careful I'll expose you at the donation ceremony."
"What's wrong with me? Are you pretending to be my justice of the peace?"
"Be careful. Your wife is downstairs. I'll talk to her about Chen Judy."
"Isn't your wife downstairs? I can tell her that you were in Japan!"
The car drove into Marino middle school amid the quarrel between two old people.
At the donation ceremony, song TIANYAO stood on the open-air podium on the campus, looked at the speech prepared by the Secretary's spirit, and looked at the old friends and students under the podium. Finally, he looked into the distance and looked at the mountains and waves in the distance. He put down the speech and said:
"I came to Hong Kong in the 1950s. At that time, it was a magnificent era..."
