Song TIANYAO climbed the escalator to the roof of the four storey building, crossed the parapet on the roof, directly stood at the small balcony near the edge, and took a heavy breath in the night wind.
Those people in the building, their parents, sisters, even Lou Fengyun and shiye Hui, only saw that he jumped over the dragon''s gate overnight and became the Secretary in suits and shoes around the second young master of the Chu family, but they didn''t know that every step he took and every word he said in this short time seemed easy, but it was actually dangerous.
But he had no root and no reliance on song TIANYAO. What he could rely on was the little experience and changes accumulated in the first life.
When Angie pelis advised him to give up persuading Shi Zhiyi and try to make friends with other customs officials at the Doris hotel tonight, song TIANYAO was really thinking of retreating for a moment. He just stepped back and sent a bribe to another British ghost. When transporting smuggled prohibited goods at the wharf, he made the other party turn a blind eye and found a boat for Likang to go to sea.
However, Shi Zhiyi, who wanted to be both a fan and a memorial archway, took the bait, and his official position as deputy director of the industrial and Commercial Management Office scratched the itch of song TIANYAO. Shi Zhiyi wanted to earn both fame and wealth. He didn''t want to be like other officials who stepped into the top level of the Hong Kong colonial government, either gain a pure name, or search in Hong Kong and bring it back to his ancestral home for the elderly, It is very difficult to meet these two points, but bribing officials is like stocks or futures. High difficulty and high risk mean high return.
According to Shi Zhiyi''s attitude now, it will only be more difficult than today''s opportunity not to win over the relationship when there is no silver in the other party''s bag. When the other party''s senior officials sit down and the money bag is rich, they want to get together.
Song TIANYAO was not worried that he could not persuade Shi Zhiyi in five minutes. He was worried about the follow-up action after persuading Shi Zhiyi, that is, robbing meat from other people''s bowls would inevitably offend those businessmen in the same industry. If the scene was embarrassing, Chu Yaozong asked Chu Xiaoxin to give up his car and give up himself, and Shi Zhiyi watched the fire from the shore and thought about it, The ending is that some people laugh and others cry. Naturally, Shi Zhiyi and Chu Xiaoxin laugh. They can only cry for their parents and relatives downstairs. As for themselves? There will be no chance to cry, only to die miserably. Although this possibility is unlikely. There is only a chance of one or two out of ten, even if there is only a 1% chance of winning the prize, 100% of the bones will not exist.
That''s why he shook a little when he picked up the glass of red wine. He hesitated, but the blood that was soaked in his bones and liked to walk along the edge of the cliff was burning him, so that he knew that he still wanted to have a try this time, which was not as small as those little things like Yan Xiong or Chen a10.
The road is taken by yourself, and wealth is fought by yourself. If you don''t have the courage to fight once, you will come to this magnificent era in vain.
"Secretary song, beer." the voice of shiye Hui came from behind. Song TIANYAO looked back. Shiye Hui was carefully carrying three beers and a folded thick cloth blanket across the parapet, stood next to song TIANYAO, looked at the edge not more than half a meter away, and then retreated half a step: "sister Yun said that the roof was cool and told me to bring a cloth blanket to Secretary song."
Song TIANYAO took the blanket and spread it on the balcony. He took a beer and poured it into his mouth. He said to shiye Hui standing:
"Sit down and talk."
"OK, Secretary song." shiye Hui was stunned, and then carefully sat down at the corner of the cloth blanket. Most of his ass was still on the cold ground, his face was full of energy, staring at Song TIANYAO.
Song TIANYAO looked at the other party''s serious expression and couldn''t help laughing. He picked up another beer and handed it to shiyehui: "you''re a shiyeh''s attendant, and I''m a secretary''s attendant. Everyone is almost the same. It may be because of my peers, so I don''t like you. Hey, is it hard to be a shiyeh in the gambling stall?"
"Thank you, Secretary song." shiye Hui carefully took the beer with both hands. He was not in a hurry to drink, but held the beer. When song TIANYAO finished, he reluctantly smiled: "it''s not hard. I''m stupid. Sister Yun is so smart. Where do you need shiye? I just want a obedient errand."
"What did you do before you became a teacher? Drink and chat. I''m not the one who pays your salary. I''m as nervous as whether to use it or not?" song TIANYAO poked the beer in his hand, gently touched the other party''s wine bottle, poured another mouthful into his mouth, smiled and said.
Shiye Hui also took a quick SIP: "I used to be a city patrol horse. I began to do it at the age of 17 and did it for five years. Later, brother Hua and sister Yun saw that I was honest and took me around to help them run errands and do things."
Xunchengma is the name of people in Hong Kong who travel between the mainland and Hong Kong and rely on people to deliver family letters, deliver money or buy small sundries. It''s like the couriers of express companies in Song TIANYAO''s last life. The difference is that xunchengma has no company. He does it alone, from receiving, transportation to sending.
In the early days of the British occupation of Hong Kong, city patrol horses were popular. Later, with the establishment of Hongkong Post, they gradually declined. However, today, many elderly people in Hong Kong still don''t believe in postal transportation and will try their best to find a city patrol horse and entrust the other party to send their letters or money back to their hometown.
A man who can be a city patrol horse for five years must be honest and reliable. Those who have evil intentions often see that someone entrusts valuable property and quietly fall into their pockets. They will soon stink their reputation and never receive entrustment again.
Maybe it''s because song TIANYAO doesn''t seem to be as aggressive as he used to be. Shiye Hui sat next to him and relaxed a little. Seeing that song TIANYAO was curious about the city patrol horse, he picked out some interesting things he met in those years to talk about.
Song TIANYAO drank slowly and listened quietly until shiye Hui finished talking about something interesting. Song TIANYAO suddenly asked him:
"Have you ever taken a sweet medicine for killing insects?"
Shiye Hui, who had not yet recovered his mind, was stunned by song TIANYAO''s question. After a few seconds, he responded: "the medicine for killing insects? Baa insects, understand, chancroid powder, sweet? Sugar is also very astringent. When I had a stomachache, the medicine Bureau opened. I ate it for three days, and finally discharged a dead insect, but the insect came out. My stomach still hurts. It doesn''t matter what it''s used. What''s the matter? Secretary song, you have a stomachache?"
Song TIANYAO shook his head, drank up the residual wine in the last bottle of beer, stood up on the balcony, stretched his body, looked up at the starry sky above his head: "if you say, do a kind of insect killing medicine for everyone? Is it a good thing? Can you make money?"
"I don''t know what Secretary song is talking about?" shiye Hui stood up next to song TIANYAO, touched his head and said embarrassed.
Song TIANYAO took back his eyes, patted each other on the shoulder, smiled, took the empty wine bottle and walked towards the escalator. He said happily in Cantonese: "roll poetry and books, go on the fishing boat, wear a coir hat and hold a fishing rod. Go to the depths of the blue waves and several heavy beaches. He was not a fisherman in the past. He covered the times and covered the good people. So I am not from heaven."
