Chapter 80 The Country Needs You

Within a few days, a sensational news was published in a gossip magazine, "Dude gambles heavily in Macau, father redeems himself with 500 million cash", the subtitle is "There have been scandals with many actresses in the circle, and now X On the cover of "Home on the Brink of Bankruptcy" is a large photo of Liao Xiaohua with his face blurred, and next to him is a smaller photo of Miss Liu Meiling.

   As soon as such news came out, it immediately caused a sensation in Hong Kong's business and entertainment circles. Careful people still remember the kidnapping case of a rich man that caused a sensation in Hong Kong a year ago, especially the female star who appeared at that time. When they saw the news again, they quickly understood what it meant. Who is it.

Many former friends and business partners of Liao Chengde called one after another, asking about business matters in a roundabout way. In fact, Liao Chengde's career has gradually shifted to the mainland in recent years, and there are not many businesses left in Hong Kong. These people called It is nothing more than to inquire about the authenticity of the news.

  For this kind of greeting, Liao Chengde always responded with a few vague words, which made people more sure that the news published in the gossip magazine was true.

  Different from the business circle, those in the entertainment circle are very realistic. Soon a female star came forward to refute the rumors, saying that she and Mr. Liao were just ordinary friends and had never dated. Ms. Liu Meiling, who was on the cusp of the storm, also held a large-scale press conference, and clarified word by word that she had never been in contact with any wealthy family, and she would not dream of marrying into a rich family. The male star's relationship is stable, I hope everyone will stop using this to hype.

  In order to clear her relationship, she even did not hesitate to throw out another male star.

In fact, what she said is quite right, there is really nothing between the two of them, everything before was nothing more than a shrewd speculation by her, but now the other party has been reduced to an ordinary person, not even an ordinary person, so there is no use for her There is room.

   For this kind of news, it comes and goes quickly. Soon, after Liao Xiaohua made several desolate appearances on purpose, the rumors were finally confirmed. People quickly lose interest in it all, and life goes on.

  In this turmoil of self-directing and self-acting, Liao and his son are the ones who have gained the most. The cold world makes Liao Xiaohua grow up overnight, and the characteristics of the **** in the past can no longer be seen.

  He has been locked at home for the past few months, doing nothing, except drinking tea and sleeping every day. From the initial kidnapping to the mental imbalance, and then went to Macau to gamble with his uncle. After being detained, he was in panic all day long. Then one day, Liao Chengde personally went to the casino in Macau to redeem him with a thin check.

When he saw Liao Chengde, who was several years old, appearing in front of him, Liao Xiaohua burst into tears. He knew that he had caused too much trouble this time. Liao Chengde still raised enough funds.

  Liao Xiaohua knew that Zhong Shi must have made the move. For this boy who was only fourteen years old, Liao Xiaohua had never been able to see clearly. Don't look at him who usually gets along with Zhong Yi and calls him buddies all day long, but for that person named Zhong Shi, he dare not be so presumptuous, and even feels a little timid in front of him.

   All this is not caused by Zhong Shi's momentum or majesty, but his impression of being invincible in the financial market, which deeply affects Liao Xiaohua's opinion of him. He has never seen such a person who can turn defeat into victory calmly without changing his face in front of millions or tens of millions of losses.

  Sometimes, he also wondered, how could this child have such a good psychological quality? Nothing but genius can explain it.

  When ordinary people face geniuses, they will have a deep inferiority complex in their bones.

This time Zhong Shi was able to help, and the money he gave would definitely not be a small amount. Although it was only a drop in the bucket for his current net worth, it must be a favor that Liao Chengdela begged for with his old face, but favors will always be used up. when.

  What Liao Xiaohua is most afraid of now is that Zhong Shi suddenly won't take their family to play someday. He is different from Liao Chengde in that he is different from Liao Chengde. Liao Chengde started his life from extreme poverty and could eat both abalone and fish eggs. But to make Liao Xiaohua take fish eggs as a staple food, it is better to kill him.

   But in the Liao family, there was nothing that Zhong Shi could see.

   In terms of money, ten Liao families might not be able to catch up with Zhong Shi in terms of financial resources. In terms of power, Zhong Shi is now in the interior all year round, so he can't influence there at all.

   To put it bluntly, the Liao family is just a small family that has only risen in recent years.

  When the news about Liao Chengdehao earning 500 million was spread outside, Liao Xiaohua was almost scared to death again. That **** head often appeared in midnight nightmares, and he didn't want to do it again.

  What he didn't know was that during the period of his confinement, Zhong Shi made another hundreds of millions of dollars, which could save him ten more times if converted into Hong Kong dollars.

  Liao Xiaohua just stays at home so bored, unable to go anywhere, almost everyone is like guarding against thieves, people are watching him 24 hours a day, for fear that he will slip away if he is not careful.

  When he saw on TV that those female stars who had cooperated with him extremely in bed and put on 18 kinds of martial arts all declared that they had nothing to do with him, one by one, he could imagine the loss in his heart. It wasn't until this moment that he thoroughly understood what it was like to be abandoned by the whole world.

   There was never a moment when he was so aware of the dangers of the human heart and the coldness of the world.

  After cooperating with his father in acting in this run-down drama, he suddenly became calm and silent. He often sat on the balcony alone for an entire afternoon, and no one knew what he was thinking.

  At the same time, the atmosphere in this family also went down. Often when eating, the family was relatively silent and ate in silence.

  All of this was broken by an uninvited person until one day.

   "Mr. Liao, hello, I'm Luo Dengtang." On this day, a middle-aged man with a medium build and an unremarkable appearance, wearing a pair of black-rimmed wide-rimmed glasses, appeared in the living room of the Liao family.

  He spoke Mandarin, not vernacular, with a strong northern accent in his accent.

   "Hello! You are..." Liao Chengde's deliberate rumors during this period had an effect. Many old friends stopped coming to the door, and even many private clubs stopped calling for sales. He was at a loss for a visit from such a person.

   "Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, I am the deputy editor of Aihua News Agency in Hong Kong..." Luo Dengtang saw the confusion in Liao Chengde's eyes, respectfully took out his business card, and handed it over with both hands.

   "Aihua News Agency..."

   Liao Chengde took the business card casually, muttered a few words in his mouth, and suddenly he remembered, isn't this the communication agency established by the mainland government in Hong Kong!

  The main job of this news agency is to copy the telegram manuscripts from the Yanjing Headquarters, edit them into English and Chinese manuscripts, and send them to the media in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. Of course, these are superficial jobs. In fact, this news agency has always been the intelligence agency of the mainland government stationed in Hong Kong, and most of them are professional intelligence personnel.

  Because the Huaxia government will never recognize Hong Kong as a British colony, it is absolutely impossible for Huaxia to set up a consulate in Hong Kong, because this will make it true. The UK will never agree to the establishment of an office by the Chinese government in Hong Kong, because it is very likely that there will be two centers of power in Hong Kong. In this way, organizations such as the Hong Kong Branch of Aihua News Agency will become quasi-official for communication and negotiation between the two sides. way.

  The reason why Liao Chengde knew these things was because not long ago, the former president of this news agency left without saying goodbye and went to the United States secretly. This matter was disclosed by the Hong Kong media, causing a huge sensation in the entire Hong Kong society.

  As the handover is approaching, every action of Yanjing concerning Hong Kong affects the hearts of Hong Kong people. Many people don't know what the future will be like. Under such circumstances, after such an incident, the pro-British media will naturally exaggerate it.

  Liao Chengde was stunned, his hand holding the business card stopped in mid-air, he didn't know what to do for a while. He didn't understand why such an organization came to him.

   "What? Why don't you invite me in?" Luo Dengtang smiled slightly and politely reminded Liao Chengde who was absent-minded.

   "Oh... oh... come in, come in!"

   Liao Chengde, who came back to his senses, quickly put his business card into his close-fitting shirt, then stretched out both hands, shook Luo Dengtang vigorously, and led him into the study himself.

Liao Chengde's study room is about 20 square meters. There is a pineapple flower desk and two wicker rocking chairs inside. The bookshelves against the wall are full of books, but most of them he has not read. However, putting it here is just for appearance.

  After the two parties sat down, Liao Chengde first said a few words of courtesy, and then asked cautiously: "I don't know if Mr. Luo is here this time, what advice do you have?"

  At this time, his attitude was extremely humble, his hands were twisted together, his body was sitting upright, and he even leaned forward a little, as if humbly asking for advice.

   "Mr. Liao is serious. You are a famous patriot, how dare I give advice! I don't know if it is convenient to speak here?" Luo Dengtang laughed, looked around, and then asked seriously.

   "Convenient, convenient." Liao Chengde went out to give a few instructions, and locked the study after returning, then nodded, and replied with some relief.

  Like this Mr. Luo's posture, it must be inconvenient for outsiders to know what he has to say. Liao Chengde is careful, and specially ordered his servants to guard the door so that no one would disturb him.

   "Mr. Liao, it's like this, maybe the country needs you to do something, what do you think?"

  Luo Dengtang was silent for a moment, and suddenly said something that shocked Liao Chengde.
