Song TIANYAO bought a Bible in the bookstore next to St. John''s church. In this bookstore, which sells all kinds of Christian doctrine books, all the people who clean up, wipe bookshelves, organize books and even collect money are homeless and disabled people. St. John''s church opened this bookstore and a donation office not far away, Provide these people with opportunities for clothing, food, housing, transportation and work.
Holding the Bible in his hand, he walked in from the main entrance of the church and entered the main building. The clean mosaic floor at his feet and the arched ceiling above his head, the colored glass on both sides of the aisle depicting saints'' deeds and miracles, and the dome of a huge and simple cross hung in the middle of the church, which made song TIANYAO feel as if he had passed through time and space in an instant, In Europe in the sixteenth century.
Behind the cross is the back hall of the church. The altar is in the middle of the back hall, next to the pulpit for preaching doctrine. On the front wall of the back hall is a huge organ.
In front of the altar and pulpit, on rows of shiny and mottled wooden seats, Shi Zhiyi and Mrs. Beth sat in front of the first row with their children and prayed attentively in the direction of the altar.
Compared with song TIANYAO''s poverty when he walked into the church and was completely ignored by the church staff, a priest at the pulpit looked kindly at Shi Zhiyi and Mrs. Beth''s family who closed their eyes and prayed.
Song TIANYAO sat in the last row and waited quietly. Finally, the prayer was over. Mrs. Beth got up with the children and walked to the ear hall next to her under the leadership of the priest. It seemed that she was ready to help the poor and homeless waiting outside the church restaurant distribute food, while Shi Zhiyi stayed in her seat and waited.
"Mr. Shi." song TIANYAO walked slowly, sat down next to Shi Zhiyi, appreciated the altar not far in front and said, "good noon."
Shi Zhiyi sighed, with a bitter smile and helplessness: "in fact, Mr. Song, in Britain, if no one else introduces us to each other, it is very impolite to start talking directly."
"When I first read the Bible, I found a sentence on it. My spirit is sad, I want to speak, my heart is distressed, and I want to express sorrow. If I am not afraid, I can see the crown." song TIANYAO looked at the magnificent altar in front of him: "God also said that we should plead for the poor and orphans, and do justice for the poor and needy. Therefore, Mr. Shi and I will not undermine your gentry demeanor by talking about the establishment of Oxfam and helping thousands of people suffering from disease under the eyes of God."
"What''s the purpose of you buying this Bible?" Shi Zhiyi turned his face and looked at Song TIANYAO and took back his sight. The young man was really young and people couldn''t believe it. He pointed out the desire in his heart and threw an Oxfam club, which made himself and his wife bite the hook like a fish.
Song TIANYAO honestly said, "the price is five Hong Kong dollars. Five Hong Kong dollars may enable those with disabilities to eat one more steamed bread. It will also enable me not to have no topic when I sit with you in front of God."
"I want to know if you have any suggestions for my wife after she leaves the first chairman of Oxfam. I don''t want to see the arrangement of tiger head and snake tail?" Shi Zhiyi said to song TIANYAO: "charity elections are held once a year. You won''t let her sit in the position of Oxfam chairman all the time."
"However, as long as Oxfam Hong Kong exists, the charity donation project on water quality and parasites in Hong Kong proposed by Mrs. Beth will not stop. Unless everyone in Hong Kong and Kowloon can drink as clean water as the Taiping peak, it may take decades. At that time, perhaps Hong Kong is no longer a British colony. It is still a British colony During this period, Mrs. Beth can set up a water source investigation organization, water resources association, hydrological science research office and other organizations in her own name to provide Oxfam or other charities with a new water quality investigation report every year. The longer the report is provided, Mrs. Beth will become more and more important, because later people want to understand In the past, only the investigation reports of Mrs. Beth over the years can be consulted for the water source data of Hong Kong. She will become the absolute authority in the research and investigation of water resources in Hong Kong. What do you think? Mr. Shi? If a person wants to have a position, in addition to designing, it also needs to pay. Mrs. Beth has a bachelor''s degree in hydrological science. Why can''t we let her become an expert in Hong Kong Real hydrological scientist? You know, in Britain today, the title of scientist can actually win the respect of British upper class figures more than the title of Mrs. governor of Hong Kong. Whether it is hypocritical or sincere, those British upper class figures must recognize the excellence of scientists and the power they bring to change war and even the world, even Mrs. Beth My family is from St. kitta, Australia, but who cares about that at that time? People will call her a British female scientist and an expert on water resources in Hong Kong. My arrangement is that Oxfam will donate drugs for the second time in six months. At that time, Likang will pay a sum of money to let the University of Hong Kong invite Mrs. Beth to be a visiting professor or honorary professor. I, song TIANYAO, never do things like a tiger''s head and a snake''s tail. "
Song TIANYAO spoke very slowly in this long paragraph, and although the two men sat together, they never had any intersection of eyes. They all looked straight ahead, just like two people who came to church just sat together and felt God''s kindness.
"In London, some people always say that those who should come will always come. That''s their complaint about the rainy weather in London. Now I may also say that those who should come will always come. You have designed so many. What else do you want besides the title of philanthropist and justice of the peace that my wife deeply believes in?"
"I don''t need anything. I just need you to do your job well. Do you know how many drug companies in Hong Kong? How many of them are doing some shady contraband business? If you want to buy a penicillin dry powder package in a western medicine store opened by the Chinese in Hong Kong, you need to pay at least twice the price to buy it. It''s the least. If someone is in a hurry When penicillin was saved, even if it was three or five times, they could only pay the bill. What''s more, Likang was going to donate a batch of drugs to Oxfam to kill internal parasites. However, after learning the news, a company first monopolized the batch of low-cost raw materials from the British subsidiary of Jiali. Do you know how much to increase the price and sell them to Likang? Double, raw materials It''s expected to be 800 Hong Kong dollars a kilogram. They quoted 1600 Hong Kong dollars, and they paid the deposit in advance. Now the British afterburner subsidiary will not default and sell the goods to Likang. We are facing the dilemma that the second batch of donated drugs can''t be provided on time. This is the time to deal with this matter fairly, fairly and openly. "Song TIANYAO looks at the huge organ on the wall, He said, "I don''t want to get anything from Oxfam. I just ask you, as the deputy director of the industrial and commercial administration, to do what you should do."
"Only these?" Shi Zhiyi didn''t believe that the young man only wanted such a little return after he planned everything for his wife.
"If the customs confiscates a lot of drugs in the warehouses of other drug companies that violate the ban on contraband, Likang certainly hopes to have the priority to buy those confiscated drugs from the customs because of its experience of participating in Oxfam''s charitable act of giving drugs. In front of God, to tell the truth, if the customs and the administration of industry and commerce can sell real drugs to Likang as fake or expired drugs, of course Thank you very much. I can provide expired drug packaging for this, and I can take out 50% of the saved money and deposit it into the bank account provided by you, as God testifies. "Song TIANYAO finally turned his face and looked at the calm British nearby: "If a loving good man takes a little advantage, God will be more happy to see his success than being plundered by those unscrupulous people. What do you think?"
"No, it can only be sold to you according to the original medicine. The money for checking the lack of medicine will be handed over to the Hong Kong Governor." Shi Zhiyi also turned his face, looked at Song TIANYAO and said slowly.
Song TIANYAO smiled: "yes, that money should be distributed by the Hong Kong Governor. It''s my negligence. I congratulate you in advance on your promotion to the director of the industrial and commercial administration and a first-class official student in the near future."
"What''s the name of the company that tried to destroy the good deeds of Likang and Oxfam, maliciously hoarding drugs and preparing to make huge profits?" seeing his wife and children appear from the door of the ear hall and seem to be ready to go to the restaurant for lunch, Shi Zhiyi stood up with the button of his suit in his hand and asked.
Song TIANYAO lowered his head and spread out the Bible, as if he were a complete stranger to the other side, reading the Scripture: "if the European coast company can announce the donation of drugs at the moment of tomorrow''s ceremony, the customs will seal up the warehouse and launch an investigation, your wife may get a lot of flowers spontaneously donated by Chinese people."
Shi Zhiyi didn''t seem to hear it. He walked towards his wife and children. Song TIANYAO sat behind and added slowly in Chinese: "it''s all arranged. After giving medicine, he is willing to donate flowers outside your villa on foot to express his gratitude. Each person will pay 10 yuan for the road. If he cries, give another bag of soy sauce."
Then, song TIANYAO saw that Shi Zhiyi seemed to be mixed under his feet, and his body staggered slightly.
It seems that ghost can''t always maintain a gentleman''s demeanor.
