Chapter 272 Member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference

  Although he felt a little uncomfortable, Zhong Shi still smiled and said to Liao Xiaohua: "Okay, I will be there on time."

Perhaps feeling that Zhong Shi was a little unhappy, Liao Xiaohua showed a embarrassed expression on his face, hesitated again and again, and then said: "Zhong Sheng, there are often people from the north at home recently. Although I don't know what they talk about, I feel that This time, I'm afraid it has something to do with these people, so you have to be mentally prepared."

Zhong Shi's heart tightened, but his face still had a smile on his face, and he said, "Xiao Hua, don't worry too much. Your father has done a lot for the country in recent years, and the government will only praise him. As for me, I haven't done anything illegal for so many years, so naturally there won't be anything, don't worry."

  He knew very well what Liao Xiaohua was thinking, and it was nothing more than the so-called "settling accounts after autumn" advocated by the media. Before the return of Hong Kong, this trend spread like wildfire, and many middle-class people in Hong Kong chose to immigrate. Affected by this kind of thinking, the general public has a general fear of returning.

   But this sense of fear has gradually dissipated with the official return. After July 1, Hong Kong is still prosperous and thriving. The fact that horses run and dances follow suit has dispelled many people's inner doubts.

  Liao Xiaohua lowered his head and thought for a while, opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.

  Looking at Liao Xiaohua's figure disappearing outside the office, the smile on Zhong Shi's face disappeared immediately. Although he comforted Liao Xiaohua so much, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart: what does Liao Chengde mean by asking him to meet? Is it related to the people in the north? If the two are really related, should I go? ?

  Thinking about the night so wildly, Zhong Shi didn't come up with an idea. Seeing that the sky was already dark, he simply stopped thinking about it, called Zhao Xiaowu and ran to the Liao family mansion together with Liao Xiaohua.

   At this moment in the Liao family's mansion, Liao Chengde was talking with two guests in the study, his wrinkled old face was full of smiles.

  Recently, Liao Chengde was in a good mood, and everyone he saw had a smile on his face, which surprised everyone in the Liao family mansion, and everyone guessed in their hearts what the reason was.

  They naturally didn't know that during this period, Liao Chengde was elected as a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference of the SAR government and reported to the central government. Just today, the official appointment finally came down, and Liao Chengde officially became one of the members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference representing non-partisan people from the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

  CPPCC members are not only representatives of various parties, groups, ethnic groups and walks of life, but also enjoy a high reputation in society. Electing members of the CPPCC means being able to participate in the discussion of major national policies and major regional affairs, which is equivalent to members of the House of Representatives in the U.S. parliamentary system, but they are produced in a different way.

  Liao Chengde attaches great importance to this honor, which has a lot to do with his experience when he was young. When he was in mainland China, he was a commoner who was almost starved to death. After coming to Hong Kong, through decades of hard work, he gained a certain social status and helped the government make a lot of contributions. Recognition from the country and the government, although this recognition is only a symbolic member of the CPPCC.

"Commissioner Liao, please don't be too polite." Seeing Liao Chengde handing cigarettes and serving tea, the other two people in the study quickly stood up and greeted them politely. After Liao Chengde stopped, a tall and thin man The middle-aged man said: "Commissioner Liao, I don't know if there is any clue about the matter that I asked you for a while ago. The higher-ups have been urging this matter rather urgently, so..."

   "No problem!" Liao Chengde said with a chuckle, "Although your requirements are a bit high, I happen to know such a person, and I promise to meet your requirements."

Speaking of this, he seemed to have thought of something, and after pondering for a long time, he hinted hesitantly: "It's just that this kid's temper is not very good, and it's typical to be soft and not hard, you should try to lower it when you get in touch with him later." Body, don't be too superior to others, you can be a little aggressive when it's appropriate, young people, sometimes like this."

"Young man?" The corners of the tall and thin middle-aged man's mouth twitched slightly, and after looking at the slightly chunky middle-aged man next to him, he asked suspiciously, "Commissioner Liao, what we are looking for is Professionals who have rich experience and can give practical opinions and suggestions, are the 'children' and 'young people' you said appropriate?"

"Suitable! Very suitable!" Liao Chengde stared, and said rather unconvinced, "If there is only one person for this candidate, I can assure you that this person is definitely the most suitable one. Although he is young, but He is definitely an out-and-out genius. I, Lao Liao, have lived for most of my life, and I have never seen such an amazingly talented person. To tell you the truth, if it wasn't for his help, the Liao family would have collapsed seven or eight years ago , There will be no such scenery today.”

   "Oh? There is such a thing? Commissioner Liao, don't mind talking about it!" This kind of secret matter naturally aroused the interest of the two guests. After they glanced at each other, their faces showed excitement at the same time.

   "The thing is like this..." Liao Chengde lit a cigarette, and began to recall the past with a serious face in the curling smoke.

   While Liao Chengde was talking with the two guests, Liao Xiaohua brought Zhong Shi and Zhao Xiaowu back home. As soon as he entered, Liao Xiaohua shouted loudly: "Old Liao, I brought Zhong Sheng!"

   "Shut up, don't make a fuss, what are you talking about!" Liao Xiaohua's mother, Dai Shufen, held a Buddhist scripture in one hand and a string of beads in the other, reprimanding Liao Xiaohua who was yelling with surprise.

  But when she saw Zhong Shi standing behind Liao Xiaohua, a rare smile appeared on her face that was originally calm, and she said: "Mr. Zhong is here too, today is really a distinguished guest!"

"Mom, you are too biased. Why do you treat me coldly all day long, but greet Zhong Sheng with a smile? Am I not your biological child?" Liao Xiaohua searched around, but did not find Liao Chengde's figure, and turned back to In front of Zhong Shi, he deliberately said loudly.

  Dai Shufen glanced at him, said "Amitabha" silently, and then said: "If you have half the ability of Mr. Zhong, I will be satisfied!"

  Liao Xiaohua stuck out his tongue and asked, "Where is old Comrade Liao, didn't he invite Zhong Sheng, why did he disappear?"

   Seeing that they had business to discuss, Dai Shufen pointed to the direction of the study, nodded to Zhong Shi, turned around and went upstairs.

   "Old Liao, I brought someone here!" Liao Xiaohua didn't knock on the door, just pushed open the door of the study and barged in, without looking at what was going on inside, and shouted carelessly.

   "How decent, so rude!" Liao Chengde, who was telling the past, stood up suddenly, and shouted at Liao Xiaohua who came in, with an obviously unhappy expression on his face.

  Liao Xiaohua was stunned for a moment, rubbing the back of his head, not understanding why Liao Chengde was so angry for no reason. He didn't dare to refute anything, he shrank his neck back, and then raised his feet to get away.

"Old Liao, why are you treating Xiaohua so rudely? You must know that he is my excellent employee now." At this moment, Zhong Shi, who was behind Liao Xiaohua, walked in with a smile on his face, "As the saying goes Three days later, I will look at you with admiration... Hey, Lao Liao, do you have a guest?"

  At this time, Zhong Shi saw that there were still two people in the study, and couldn't help shrinking his pupils, and narrowed his eyes to take a closer look.

  Both of them were dressed in ordinary clothes. The slightly taller one on the left was pale, with high cheekbones and no flesh on his cheeks, but he also had a big mouth. The whole face looked a bit like an ape. The one on the right looks ordinary, but a little fat. At this time, this face is smiling at Zhongshi outside the door, with a harmless appearance.

  As soon as he heard Zhong Shi's words, Liao Chengde immediately changed his face, and said to Liao Xiaohua with a smile: "Since Zhong Sheng said that he did a good job, then I can rest assured. You have nothing to do here, go out quickly!"

   Seeing that Liao Chengde changed his attitude because of Zhong Shi's words, the two people in the room were shocked. After looking at each other, they stood up unanimously. At this time, both of them had the same thought in their hearts, that is, the influence of the visitor on Commissioner Liao was not small, and even one sentence changed Lao Liao's attitude. It seemed that they should observe this young man carefully.

"Zhong Sheng, you're here." Liao Chengde walked up to Zhong Shi with a smile on his face, shook Zhong Shi's hand vigorously, and then said, "There is a reason why you came here today. I'm a little sorry. Have you eaten yet, or should we eat first and talk about things later?"

Zhong Shi waved his hand, looked at Liao Chengde speechlessly, and said slowly after a long while: "Old Liao, why are you being polite to me? I have already eaten the meal, let's start talking about things now. But Before that, would you like to introduce these two to me?"

"Oh? That's right!" Liao Chengde slapped his head and pretended to complain, "Look at my memory, I almost forgot all the guests. Zhong Sheng, this is Mr. Fang Fenglei Fang." He pointed at that person The middle-aged man with a thin face said, "I'm an executive of a bank in the mainland. I believe you should have a common language." After finishing speaking, he pointed to another slightly fat guest and said, "This is Mr. Liu Shan. Work in the Hong Kong branch of Aihua News Agency.”

Then he turned around, and when he was about to introduce Zhong Shi, Zhong Shi stepped forward, stretched out his hand before he could speak, with a polite smile on his face, and said, "My lord Zhong Shi, Zhong Ziqi's Zhong Shi , Shi Shi’s Shi, just a nobody. It’s a pleasure to meet you two.”

  Zhao Xiaowu, who had been following Zhong Shi all the time, immediately stood on Zhong Shi's flank, staring at the two people opposite him, for fear that they would do anything that would be unfavorable to Zhong Shi.

  Fang Fenglei and Liu Shan gave Zhao Xiaowu such a stare, and they hesitated when they were about to extend their palms, but after thinking about it for a while, they understood, and hurriedly held Zhong Shi's palms one after the other. Liu Shan is fine, but Fang Fenglei complimented enthusiastically: "Mr. Zhong is young and promising, and he is also a close friend of Committee Liao. How could he be an unknown person? Just kidding, just joking!"

   "Member Liao?" Zhong Shi was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Liao Chengde with a half-smile on his face, "Old Liao, when did you become a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference?"
