Chapter 36:

"Miss Zhou, do you like this photo?" A mellow male voice sounded behind Zhou Sitian.
Zhou Sitian turned her head and saw the visitor, her eyebrows relaxed slightly, "It's you, didn't you forget to bring medicine today?"
The man was taken aback when he heard the words, and then chuckled. He took out a white vial from his jacket pocket and shook it in front of Zhou Sitian's eyes, "I didn't forget."
The man looks in his early forties, and his facial features can still tell how handsome he was when he was young. He is elevated, not fat or thin. He has a gray-black overcoat, wearing a high-necked woolen sweater with excellent fabrics, and a kind of The elegance and bookishness of intellectuals.
"Does Miss Zhou like photography too?"
"Photography?" Zhou Sitian was taken aback, and then sneered, "I don't understand these things, I just came in because it was warm here, anyway, no money." She said the last sentence very quietly.
A glimmer of astonishment flashed in the man's eyes, and his smile became even greater, "Miss Zhou is really quick to talk."
Zhou Sitian did not answer any more, turned to look at the photo on the display wall again. The content of the photo was of a young man standing on the bow of the boat. The young man's lonely back under the cool moonlight looked particularly bleak. It was because of this that Zhou Sitian thought of her younger brother, and stood in front of the photo for a long time.
She and this man met two days ago.
Because he affirmed the fact that Li Zheng is still alive, Zhou Sitian has eaten well and slept well, and accidentally had two or two pieces of meat on his stomach.
Liu Zhidong was heartbroken and forced her to run in the morning. When Zhou Sitian ran to the woods of Xiangjiang Park two days ago in the morning, she saw Shao Qihua squatting on the ground clutching her chest, sweating profusely. She hesitated for a while, stepped forward and asked questions, only to realize that Shao Qihua had sudden angina. According to Shao Qihua's words, she ran to the edge of the park and asked the driver waiting there to get the medicine, which saved Shao Qihua's life.
Shao Qihua saw that Zhou Sitian didn't like to take care of himself, so he couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly. Since he started from scratch and sat in his position today, few people have treated him like this.
"Ms. Zhou, I haven't had time to thank you for the last time. Since we are destined to meet again today, would you like to have a dinner together? There is a dinner at Mid-Levels No. 1 in the evening, and I have one less female partner."
He has long passed the age of the young Muai, but in Zhou Sitian, he saw many familiar and nostalgic things, which those Hong Kong ladies did not have.
Zhou Sitian finally turned around and looked at the man in front of her carefully. She unceremoniously said: "Uncle, how old are you?"
Shao Qihua was stunned, "Forty-three." More than that, he actually answered obediently.
"Uncle Shao, I am eighteen years old this year." Zhou Sitian's voice was crisp and sweet, with the vitality of a girl at the best age.
Shao Qihua froze in place, and then he suddenly laughed pleasantly, at first the voice was very low, and then he laughed more and more loudly.
Seeing the entire photo exhibition, Zhou Sitian was flushed with embarrassment. She gave Shao Qihua a vicious look, and then quickly moved aside two steps to indicate that she was not familiar with this person.
The security guard of the photo exhibition wanted to come, but was caught by his colleague.
"You are crazy, this is Mr. Shao, Shao Qihua of Huayu!"
Shao Qihua's laughter slowly stopped, he coughed twice, and handed out a business card to Zhou Sitian, "If you change your mind, call me anytime."
Zhou Sitian watched Shao Qihua's hand holding the business card and kept not letting it go. She curled her lips and accepted it.
As for the chairman of the board of directors of Huayu Group, Liu Zhidong's popular science class has not mentioned this.
When Shao Qihua saw Zhou Sitian put his business card in his pocket, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes. He is not a stalker, and after leaving politely, he went to the photography exhibition.
Zhou Sitian looked strangely at someone holding a camera to take a photo of Shao Qihua's back. He... is he also a star?
"Bumping" a person who was walking and reading the newspaper accidentally ran into Zhou Sitian, and the newspaper was scattered all over the floor.
"sorry Sorry."
"It's okay." Zhou Sitian knelt down to pick up the newspaper for him.
On December 24, 1982, the headline of the Xiangjiang Daily: Predators gathered, Mid-Levels No. 1 Christmas Eve Party
Zhou Sitian stood up abruptly, rushed to the door quickly, and saw Shao Qihua stepping into the door with one foot.
"Uncle Shao, are you missing a female companion? I'm free!" Zhou Sitian said loudly, attracting many people on the road.
The "click" flash came on.
Now Zhou Sitian is not sensitive to the camera, she quickly ran to Shao Qihua, "Uncle Shao, are you still counting on your invitation just now?"
………………
"No, I still won't go." To everyone's expectation, Zheng Lingling finally chose to stay.
She looked at the people who regretted her, and said loudly with a smile: "I gave up the opportunity to see the Governor to stay with you! When the official performance was on stage at night, one of you went wrong, don't blame me for not giving face. ."
There was a burst of laughter on the stage.
Li Zheng wore a bloated tree costume and lifted his branches. Being loyal to her job and not arrogant or impetuous, he increasingly feels that Zheng Lingling is suitable to be the housekeeper of his laboratory.
When the performance officially began in the evening, a large group of people sat down on the stage. Because of the big winter, the air conditioner in the student activity room is very warm.
The air conditioner in the 1980s was very loud, and the gas that came out was more like air burned by flames, and it was annoyingly dry. Li Zheng had been standing motionless for a long time, and he felt the sweat slip down his cheeks and into the neckline.
Finally, after He Zhongming's last line was finished, the stage lighting suddenly turned orange.
"Merry Christmas!" Li Zheng spoke first, followed by the people on the stage. In the end, although everyone in the venue stood up and shouted "Merry Christmas", the entire venue was immersed in the festive atmosphere.
Phew, finally got it done.
Li Zheng took off his bloated tree costume, and his hair was wet with sweat, which made him look a little embarrassed. It was already half past seven, and Li Zheng frowned slightly. He went to the bathroom and quickly flushed his hair, changed his jacket, and hurried to the venue in a taxi.
"Young man, now mid-levels is under martial law, I can't drive up." The taxi master spoke authentic Cantonese.
"It's okay, you can drive it, Master. It doesn't matter where you can drive." Rao Li Zheng in his previous life has already reached a high altitude, but his mood is still a little uneasy now.
If it is an ordinary banquet, no matter how high the standard, it is almost impossible for Li Zhengda to come out at night.
But tonight is different. Tonight, no, half an hour later, the group of people he wants to see are the trendy people of the 1980s, a generation called "legendary".
Ship king Bao Gang, sand king Huo Jie, gambling king He Jin, Li Kunhe, Shao Qihua, Shen Wannian, these people have left a strong mark in the history of Xiangjiang and even the entire Chinese nation.
"Young man, you look very handsome, how old are you this year, do you go to mid-levels for a date with your girlfriend? The scenery in mid-levels is pretty good on weekdays, but today is special. I don’t know if I can go up anyway. When passing by, there were already policemen standing guard there."
As the master said, they saw the first sentry post.
The policeman whistled and gestured.
"I can't get in." The master said helplessly, and he had to pull over and stop.
"Go straight in, I have an invitation." Li Zheng said, taking out the invitation from his pocket.
The master widened his eyes and stared at the invitation card in Li Zheng's hand, "Lady, don't you bluff me, you are going to jail."
Li Zheng was dumb, he said seriously: "I promise, really."
The taxi driver became excited suddenly, "You said, maybe I can take a look at those people." He straightened up, and headed straight to the first sentry post.
The police ran up quickly, and before he could speak, Li Zheng lowered the car window slightly and handed out the invitation.
The police probably didn't expect someone to come to the banquet in a taxi. He carefully checked the invitations and gestured to his companion.
"Pay attention to the passengers on the taxi HK22634, do not block. Repeat, the taxi HK22634 is on the guests, do not block." After the taxi was released, the police used the walkie-talkie to notify the companions at other sentries.
"Unexpectedly, I would be able to enter Mid-Levels one day." The taxi master drove straight in, watching the guard posts along the way and saluting himself. He felt dizzy and his mouth was almost behind his ears.
"Wait a minute." Li Zheng who had been looking out the window suddenly said.
The taxi master immediately stepped on the brakes. In his eyes, this young man was a big man. Although he is a little younger, the one who can get the Mid-Levels No. 1 invitation is not the big person, but the relatives and friends of the big person, so you have to be careful to greet them.
Li Zheng seems to see Zheng Lingling?
He opened the door and got out of the car.
There are four entrances in the middle of the mountain. Li Zheng came in from the east. Because some of them were private roads, the taxi went around in a big circle, just around the north intersection.
"Zheng Lingling?" Li Zheng said hesitantly, because the woman in front of him was wearing makeup, there are still some differences in the weekdays.
"Li Zheng?" Zheng Lingling opened her mouth wide in surprise, "Why are you here?"
She promised that Bao Qinghe would come as soon as the show ended, and Bao Qinghe would come down to pick her up. She arrived at the Mid-Levels North Intersection fifteen minutes ago. Because there was no invitation card, her car couldn't drive inside. She called the center of the venue from the guard box and asked them to notify Bao Qinghe to pick her up.
Xu is because there are too many people, Mid-Levels No. 1 has not yet called her back.
"Come to the banquet." Li Zheng looked at Zheng Lingling with "Isn't this nonsense".
Zheng Lingling opened her mouth and couldn't speak. She thought she was "great" enough, but the person in front of her obviously had an invitation, but she never mentioned a word in front of her classmates. He even stood on the stage. For more than an hour...
Zheng Lingling looked at Li Zheng's hair that had not yet dried. She naturally knew that Li Zheng had been drenched in sweat by wearing doll clothes for a long time, so she rushed to her head.
She could not express her feelings at the moment in words, "You obviously...you can say it."
Li Zheng smiled slightly, "No need."
He stepped forward to negotiate with the police in the guard box for two minutes, and the railing in front of the Zheng's car was lifted.
"Go up, it's cold, it's easy to catch a cold."
Zheng Lingling nodded blankly, looking at Li Zheng's back without a word for a long time.
Not long after Li Zheng stepped into the venue, David greeted him excitedly, "Oh, Li, you are finally here. I thought you let me dove."
This time Li Zheng still gave him a face and hugged him, "Integrity is the foundation of man."
"Yes, you are right, honesty is indeed the book!" David's words made the surrounding voices stop.
The large living room, the high ceiling, the lights blooming colorful light under the refraction of the crystal, the Chinese men and women holding champagne glasses shuttled through the venue, laughing.
An energetic foreign old man in his sixties came forward with a smile and raised his wine glass, "David, people say that honesty is the foundation of human beings, which means that honesty is the most basic bottom line of life. If you don't understand, you don't understand." Following the old man's words, many people's eyes fell on Li Zheng and David.
"Who is the boy next to Mr. Andorio? Why haven't I met? Mr. Andorio seems to respect him."
David, the executive vice president of the world's top 500 companies in Asia, is well-known even among Hong Kong giants. He admires Li Zheng so much and naturally attracts many people's attention.
"Edward, Li and I are in the same spirit, and language cannot be an obstacle to us." David said with a smile.
He turned his head and introduced Li Zheng: "Sir Edward Wharton is also the Governor of Hong Kong appointed by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland."
Edward took the initiative to reach out to Li Zheng, "You are an amazing biologist. It is an honor to meet you."
His voice is neither light nor heavy, enough to make people around him hear clearly.
These small group of people at the top of the Xiangjiang food chain will naturally not express their shock like ordinary people, but the subtle expressions on their faces and the accidentally spilled wine clearly reveal that they are not. A calm heart.
Li Zheng only felt as if countless spotlights were hitting him.
He looks calm, not happy or sad. In his previous life, he had been on the podium of the Great Hall of the People and stood on the speech platform of the United Nations. He didn't like being stared at, but he was not afraid of being stared at.
Zheng Lingling saw this scene when she stepped into the venue.
"Lingling, is he your classmate?" Bao Qinghe's voice was astonished and questioned.
Zheng Lingling nodded blankly, "It seems...yes."
On the other side, Liang Zhe had been entangled for a long time 20 meters away from Li Zheng. He held a white towel in his hand, which he had just asked the waiter to take.
The moment he saw Li Zheng, Liang Zhe keenly discovered that Li Zheng's hair was still a little damp. How cold should it be with wet hair in winter, so he immediately sent someone to get a towel.
but……
Liang Zhe looked at the towel in his hand, and then at Li Zheng not far away. He stepped out and retracted his right foot, pursing his lips tightly.
At this time, Daniel took a dry towel and walked towards Li Zheng with a smile on his face.
"Lee, your hair is still wet, wipe it." Mid-Levels No. 1 will invite David, the vice president of Roche Asia, and naturally will not leave Pfizer's vice president of Asia.
When Daniel saw Li Zheng for the first time, he couldn't help cursing his mother, "Damn, let that David take the lead again." But what if he is the first? Is he careful? Is he caring? blind!
Li Zheng looked at the dry towel handed to him, and he was really moved.
"Thank you, my friend." Li Zheng really put Daniel as a friend instead of a partner this time.
not far away
"Mr. Liang, are you all right." The waiter next to him looked at Liang Zhe who almost twisted the towel into twists.
Liang Zhe gave him a cold look, then threw the towel to the waiter, "It's okay."
Halfway through the banquet, Edward went up to the stage with a smile and rang the wine glass.
The people scattered around the venue slowly moved closer to the center. Li Zheng, David, and Daniel stood in a corner of the venue, looking around, Li Jiaren, Bao Gang, Huo Jie...one by one vivid people came into sight. Their faces are different from the old ones in the newspaper photos of later generations. They are now in their prime of life, turning their hands into the clouds and covering their hands and raining, stirring up the Xiangjiang situation and full of vigor.
Zhao Qiuhua stood in a daze and stood there, holding Shen Hongji's hand, her eyes passed through the crowd in the hall, and her eyes fell on Li Zheng who was holding a champagne glass.
Li Zheng was turning his head and talking to David, and the two laughed pleasantly at the same time.
Zhao Qiuhua's expression was a little tranced. Could this young man with extraordinary tolerance really be her son?
In the Li family whom she regarded as a cage, Zhao Qiuhua's most important thing was this innocent child. Therefore, after Xiangjiang heard the news that her father had been revoked, she immediately sent a letter to Huajing, asking her father to receive the child from Huajing.
Shen Hongji gave his wife a strange look. He followed Zhao Qiuhua's gaze and frowned, "Is it him?"
Zhao Qiuhua was startled, and said in a complicated mood: "Do you know?"
"His name is Li Zheng, he is very young, and he is a genius in pharmacy. He obtained pharmaceutical patents at a young age. The land that Hongjing asked me to buy was the land that Zijun used to develop, and it was bought by him. Let’s go.
Shen Hongji’s perception of Li Zheng is very complicated. He admires Li Zheng’s ability to be so young and so young, but is also dissatisfied that he has taken away the land in Jingyuan. After all, the land in Jingyuan has special meaning to his sister. .
"Li Zheng" Zhao Qiuhua muttered to himself, it was really him...
It would be a coincidence to say that people’s faces may be similar, but the name and face are the same at the same time. The only explanation is that the pharmacological genius of this husband is really her son, Li Zheng.
But how is this possible? Her son is obviously an ordinary fisherman who doesn't even have a good academic record.
Shen Hongji felt that his wife's reaction was a little strange, and said, "Do you know him?"
Zhao Qiuhua ignored Shen Hongji's words, she put the wine in her hand on the table and said, "I'll go out." She wanted to leave.
At this time, Shen Wannian and Yang Wanru came from the side, "This is the Governor's Banquet, not a place where you can run around." Yang Wanru whispered at Zhao Qiuhua.
Yang Wanru is 11 million dissatisfied with Zhao Qiuhua's daughter-in-law, one smuggler. Although his father is a senior official of Huajing, the current political situation in Xiangjiang is not clear. God knows whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. It happened that the son had a tendon. On the first day when the woman arrived in Xiangjiang, she ran and got the certificate.
