Chapter 453 The big ship sets sail, the light of the East! (Subscribe)

August 1, 1955.

Victoria Harbour was packed with people, the scene was unprecedented. The best berthing spot in the center of Victoria Harbour was completely cleared yesterday and no ship was allowed to anchor.

The sea surface was empty and clear.

At nine o'clock in the morning, a large number of police officers began to enter the dock and put the area under martial law. Soon after, a company of soldiers were also stationed outside.

It's ten o'clock.

Kowloon Governor Grantham and his entourage drove to the pier.

Wu Youde and other employees of Oriental Times were already waiting here. When he saw Grantham coming, Wu Youde went up to him, first expressing his gratitude and then exchanging pleasantries.

As the two exchanged greetings,

A melodious whistle sounded from the sea in the distance, followed by another whistle sound, and the sounds became more and more frequent and louder.

Just from the sound, you can tell that there is more than one ship coming.

The people on the dock were cheered up and laughed, "Here they come! Here they come!"

“I’m back… I’m back…”

Wu Youde turned his head and looked towards the sea in the distance.

I saw a black line slowly appearing on the distant horizon. The black line gradually became clearer under the blowing of the sea breeze, revealing the outlines of several ships of different sizes.

They are arranged in neat rows, like a well-trained fleet, riding the wind and waves. As time passes, the true appearance of these ships gradually becomes clear.

Each ship is huge, like a giant beast on the sea.

The smallest ship is one hundred meters long, and the largest one is more than two hundred meters long. Their huge bodies look particularly spectacular on the sea.

Looking from a distance, the ship towers into the clouds, as if piercing the sky. The huge hull sparkles with metallic luster in the sun, looking majestic and solemn.

One ship after another, like a giant dragon winding its way across the sea.

The masts of the ships were tall and the flags were flying, rustling in the sea breeze, as if cheering for this mighty fleet.

The bow part is even more majestic!

I saw the largest ship at the front of the fleet. Its huge anchor and sharp bow were like a tall building, breaking through the waves as if it could break through all obstacles.

The sides of the ship are towering, like the arms of a giant, tightly embracing the sea, showing immense strength and courage.

When these ships approached the dock, their huge bodies almost blocked out the entire sky, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

however,
This sense of oppression does not make people feel fearful, but instead makes people admire the majesty and power of these sea monsters even more.

Wu Youde looked at these sea monsters in front of him.
Suddenly he grinned, and a sense of ambition and pride rose in his heart. These were all his. In the future, these sea beasts would continuously bring him countless benefits.

"Mrs. Wu, you are so courageous!"

Grantham looked at the fleet with surprise and sighed.

Today he brought his entourage here and ordered martial law at the dock, mainly to welcome the fleet back. After all, this is a big investment. In the future, Oriental Times will build a modern container terminal in Kowloon, which will also be a great benefit to Kowloon.

Other than that,

It was to support Wu Youde. Grantham now both trusted and valued Wu Youde.

Not to mention that this is his fertility-granting Guanyin, nor the magic medicine given.

Just the personal relationship between Wu Youde and Princess Margaret was enough for him to get close to her and win her over...

"Welcome back! My dear Boss Chen!"

"Humph~"

Before Chen Xueru walked down from the deck, she saw the person she was worried about and thinking about day and night, but she raised her chin and looked straight ahead, not looking at him.

When she walked down the deck gracefully and heard Wu Youde's greeting, she pursed her lips and snorted lightly, but her round, snow-white chin was still raised.

Wu Youde found this arrogant little look very funny.

"Governor, I'm flattered that you come to greet me in person. Thank you so much!" Chen Xueru looked at Grantham with a smile and said crisply.

Grantham laughed heartily and stretched out his hand, "Haha, President Chen is as capable as any man. Your work this time is admirable. I wish that the giant ship of Oriental Times can sail farther and farther in the future!
At the same time, on behalf of the thousands of people in Kowloon, I would like to thank Oriental Times! "

Chen Xueru stretched out her hand and shook his, but they separated as soon as they touched. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Governor-General. The Eastern Times will not let you down!
I believe that under your leadership, Kowloon will develop better and better. Once the Kwai Tsing Pier is completed, it will definitely bring endless benefits to Kowloon..."

"Haha, then I'll wait and see!" Grantham laughed again.

After exchanging pleasantries with Grantham,

Chen Xueru did not miss other staff members of the Governor's Office, such as the heads of the Commercial Bureau, Maritime Bureau, Industrial Bureau, etc. She greeted them one by one and exchanged a few words with them.

It took about ten minutes to complete a round.

Subsequently,

Chen Xueru called Tian Zao and asked her to introduce the situation of the ship returning to the port to everyone in the Governor's Office, such as its captain, carrying capacity, maximum speed, etc.

After the arrangement,

She seemed to have just remembered that there was someone else.

"what?!!"

"Isn't this that so-and-so... that so-and-so?"

Chen Xueru frowned slightly, her peach blossom eyes full of doubts, thinking and thinking... thinking and thinking...

I just can't remember.

She turned to Xiao He beside her and said, "Hey He'er, do you know who this is?"

Xiao He covered her mouth and giggled, blinking at Wu Youde, but she didn't dare to speak. Wu Youde looked her up and found that after not seeing her for two years, this girl had changed a lot!
The little bean bun from the past has grown into an imposing figure...

Or is it because this girl stayed in Europe for several months, eating steak and drinking milk every day?

Seeing Chen Xueru being in a bad mood,

Wu Youde was not angry. He smiled and said, "Let me introduce myself. I am President Chen Xueru's good brother. I heard that Sister Chen went overseas, and I was really worried...

That’s why I came to visit you!

I waited day and night, looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally my good sister came back. I saw that my good sister was safe and sound, and her demeanor was better than before, still so radiant and dazzling...

That’s great, I’m so relieved!
well……"

Wu Youde suddenly sighed again, looked at the sea in the distance and said with some melancholy: "I didn't expect... my dear sister has already forgotten the old man...

Old friends don't recognize each other...

My heart instantly went cold. If this is the case, I might as well just jump into the sea..."

"Pfft!"

A sweet laugh interrupted Wu Youde's lyrical expression. He looked up and found another woman walking down from the deck.

The laughter just now came from her.

When Wu Youde saw it, he was stunned.

Eh?
Isn’t this Dayuer Guli Nazha?
Why did she go on the boat...

Ah, that's not right.

This is not Guli Nazha, this should be her sister Xiao Yuer, Guli Nana.

Wu Youde quickly withdrew his gaze. Now it was important to comfort Chen Xueru and he couldn't look at other girls.

Just as he looked away, Chen Xueru gave him a coquettish look...

She stood there motionless, with her hands outstretched, but said nothing.

Wu Youde smiled, took two steps at a time and walked over, hugged her slender waist, and then lifted her up with force.

Chen Xueru was spinning in the air like a happy butterfly, her skirt fluttering as she spun like a blooming flower.

Wu Youde's eyes were full of tenderness and doting. He whispered softly in her ear: "Baby, don't be angry. It's all my fault. I kept you waiting for so long."

A blush appeared on Chen Xueru's cheeks, and she hugged Wu Youde's neck tightly, as if she wanted to merge herself into his arms.

She said softly, "I'm not angry, I just... I just didn't recognize you just now."

Haha, I don’t believe you.

Wu Youde nodded repeatedly and agreed, "Yes, yes, baby, I believe whatever you say.

Boss Chen is a man of broad mind and tolerance. How could he be the kind of person who is petty and calculating? "

Chen Xueru pursed her red lips and snorted, "Of course, let me go. I have a lot of things to do and don't have time to deal with you."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Wu Youde let go as he was told and said with a smile, "I am sorry for disturbing President Chen."

"Hmph~ It's good to know."

Chen Xueru looked proud and said, "Xiao He, Yu Er, let's go."

Xiao He smiled and made a face at Wu Youde, "Mr. Wu, I'm leaving with the lady first."

Xiaoyuer behind,

When she walked in front of Wu Youde, she bowed respectfully and said in a gentle voice, "Greetings, uncle."

Wu Youde was startled and said with a smile: "Okay."

Xiao Yuer left.

Wu Youde looked at her tall back and felt a little strange.

This Xiao Yuer looks so much like her sister Dayuer!
Their facial features seemed to be works of art carefully carved by nature, and every detail was surprisingly similar. Their eyebrows were curved like a crescent moon, their eyes were deep like autumn water, and their slightly upturned corners of the eyes and deep eyes revealed a natural charm and spirit.

Their noses were straight and delicate, like an orchid in a mountain stream, pure and noble. And their thin lips, whether smiling or slightly opened, exuded charming charm. What surprised Wu Youde even more was that
Their figures are almost identical. They are tall and well-proportioned, and exude elegance whether they are standing or walking.

The slender waist seemed to be able to squeeze out water, which reminded people of the beautiful scenery of willows swaying in the wind. And the slender legs were like works of art with perfect proportions, which made people unable to help but look at them a few more times.

However, the two are only similar in appearance.

Other than that, everything is completely different.

Dayuer is outspoken and has a lively personality. She has the talent of a social bull and a funny personality, which often makes Wu Youde laugh and cry.

This little jade,
Although it was only our first meeting and we had only interacted once, her every move and every word was so gentle, quiet, elegant and calm, giving people a feeling of being bathed in fresh breeze.

The two sisters give people completely different feelings and have no similarities at all.

Thinking about it,

Wu Youde found it a little funny. Dayuer is still the elder sister, but how can she act like an elder sister at all?

He felt that Xiao Yu'er was more like an older sister.

……

After comforting Chen Xueru,

Wu Youde did not forget about others. The long-legged Li Hongli was not on Chen Xueru's boat. She got off another 50,000-ton oil tanker.

When she saw Wu Youde, she happily came over, got close to him, and punched him.

Wu Youde casually took it and frowned, "What are you doing? It's been a long time since we last met. Are you going to murder your husband as soon as we meet?"

"You are not my husband."

Li Hongli curled her lips and said calmly, "Finally you remembered us?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Wu Youde laughed, this is another arrogant little princess.

However, her acting was not as similar as Chen Xueru's, and she ended up failing in the second sentence.

Wu Youde smiled and said, "Don't be angry, I miss you too. I miss you so much that I lose my appetite, toss and turn, and can't sleep at night.

Just as I finished my work in Beijing, I rushed here without stopping.

This time I'm here, I'll stay here for a while and spend more time with you, okay?"

Permanent residence?

Li Hongli was delighted and immediately asked, "So you're not leaving?"

"I'm not leaving!" said Wu Youde.

Li Hongli curled his lips and said, "I don't believe it!"

"Hey? Why don't you believe me? Would I lie to you?" Wu Youde asked with a smile.

Li Hongli said, "You have a big family in Beijing. Would you be willing to leave them? If you stay here forever and don't go back, they won't be happy, right?"

Oh, so that's what you're worried about.

Wu Youde smiled and said, "Well... this is easy. Once everything is settled here, I can just pick them up and that's it.

From now on, our family will live here.”

"is it?"

Li Hongli smiled happily and said, "That's great, I think this place is much more interesting than the capital, there are many fun things.

And this time I went to Europe, over there..."

Listening to the long-legged lady describing what she saw and heard in Europe, Wu Youde occasionally expressed his own opinions, which played the role of a supporting actor very well and provided full emotional value.

The long-legged girl was very happy and had a smile on her face all the time.

……

After chatting with the long legs,

Wu Youde took her to find Tian Zao, who was also his woman, so of course he couldn't favor one over the other. But Tian Zao was easy to coax, and Wu Youde gave her a big hug, which made her blush.

Then Wu Youde whispered in her ear...

Tian Zao nodded shyly, feeling sweet in her heart.

After a busy day, it was already noon.

Naturally, there are people in charge of receiving the goods at the dock, so Wu Youde, Chen Xueru and others don't have to keep an eye on the scene all the time.

At noon, they accompanied Grantham and several other senior officials of the Governor's Office to attend a cocktail party organized by the Oriental Times, which ended at two o'clock in the afternoon.

……

"Shall we go home and have a look?"

"go home?"

"I heard that you built a big house on Taiping Mountain. I haven't seen it yet. Want to go up and take a look?"

Chen Xueru was surprised and looked at Wu Youde, "You didn't live upstairs?"

"No ah."

Wu Youde said with a smile: "How can I have the nerve to go first if you don't come back?"

"Humph~"

Chen Xueru snorted and said angrily, "You still have some conscience."

As she spoke, the corners of her mouth turned up. It was obvious that Wu Youde's respect made her feel very comfortable and happy.

She turned around and said to Xiao He who was standing not far away: "Prepare the car and go to Taiping Mountain."

At that moment, everyone took a car to Taiping Mountain.

……

The area is shaded by green trees and filled with fragrance.

On the top of Taiping Mountain, a manor stands quietly among the green mountains, like a beautiful painting.

The manor is surrounded by lush trees, and the lush green leaves sway gently in the breeze, as if telling of the tranquility and harmony of nature.

The sunlight shines through the treetops onto the ground, creating mottled light and shadows, adding a touch of mystery and romance to the entire manor.

The manor is filled with the fragrance of flowers, and various flowers are blooming in competition. Roses, jasmine, lilies... they exude charming fragrance that makes people intoxicated.

Walking on the paths of the manor, you feel like you are in a sea of ​​flowers, and you can feel the gift of nature with every step.

The manor has a unique architectural style that combines Chinese and Western elements, with both classical charm and modern simplicity.

Tall gatehouses, exquisitely carved window frames, magnificent fountains and spacious lawns...

Every detail reflects the owner's taste and pursuit.

There are also several leisure areas in the manor, such as pavilions, tea rooms, gardens, etc.

Here, the owner can enjoy the gift of nature and feel the beauty of life. Whether drinking tea and chatting, strolling and admiring flowers or sitting quietly, the mind can be relaxed and peaceful.

After a brief turn,
Wu Youde was very surprised. He looked at Chen Xueru and asked, "Who built this house?"

"Hum~"

Chen Xueru didn't answer, but asked with a smile: "How is it, not bad, do you like it?"

like?

More than just liking it...

I just love it so much!

Wu Youde found that the Chinese elements in this house were very authentic and pure, including the brackets, the eaves, the auspicious beasts on the roof, the width of the gate, the height of the threshold and so on.

how to say……

All impeccable!

This is a serious and very traditional Chinese classical architectural style.

Before he came to Kowloon, he often went to Prince Gong's Mansion to look at renovation and optimization plans and listen to discussions by a group of ancient architecture experts including Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin.

Under the influence of ears and eyes,

Wu Youde now has a basic understanding of Chinese classical architecture. Compared with real experts, he is still far from it, but compared with ordinary people, he is already an expert.

He saw a lot of things in this house on Taiping Mountain.

The person who renovated the house is definitely an expert, a master in this field!

Wu Youde looked at Chen Xueru, nodded, and gave her a thumbs up, "Not bad! This house is quite nice!!"

Chen Xueru has been to Europe for a while and now knows some basic English.

Understand what 'Nice' means.

Suddenly her red lips curved, her beautiful eyes sparkled, and she said with a smile: "As long as you are satisfied, I am worried that you will be dissatisfied and blame me for wasting money!"

"Haha, that definitely won't happen."

Wu Youde said with a smile: “Money is meant to be spent. If you spend it, even if it’s just for fun, I’ll be happy.

Hey, who built this house?"

Chen Xueru was very happy to hear this and stopped keeping the secret. "Yangshi Lei, have you heard of it?"
