Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 65: Li Song's Origin (First update, please collect, read, and vote)

"Everyone, please disperse. That's it for now. The rest of you stay." Yangcheng's top leader said.

The top leader of Guangzhou is also the head of Guangdong Province. Those who stayed behind were the head of the Kyoto team and some relevant leaders of the province.

"Look at this, Li Song's identity has undergone new changes." Yangcheng's top leader said.

Cough!

puff!
"This?" These people passed the documents that had just been delivered around.

The head of a certain department spoke up, "Li Song was born in Chang'an. You know that place, to put it bluntly, it's full of gravediggers. Furthermore, the father of the martial arts master that Li Song learned from was the chief of the guards to General Yang Hucheng and experienced the Chang'an Incident. Furthermore, the Gao family is very famous in Guanzhong and has many contacts."

"I've read Ghost Blows Out the Light, and some of the stories in it are probably inseparable from folk legends."

"Li Song's writing is a bit lacking, but the story is good. I just don't know if it was written by one person."

When the others heard this, someone curiously asked, "Where is the novel? Let's take a look too."

"But I looked at some of the figures in the newspaper clippings and they don't seem to add up. After some calculations, I think this figure of one million Hong Kong dollars a day is a lot of water."

"Even if they make 100,000 a day, it's incredible! 100,000! That's equivalent to several years of our salary in one day."

"Not everyone can get it. According to the news, this author has the highest income in Hong Kong Island, but he is only seventeen years old?" People in the mainland know Li Song's hometown, so they naturally know Li Song's real age.

"What's wrong with being seventeen? Cao Yu started writing Thunderstorm at 18, and Wang Wei started writing poetry at 17."

"And it's pulp fiction!"

"Indeed, I've read the novel. The writing is indeed poor, but the story is well told."

"But the subject matter of this story is a bit bad. Grave robbing is illegal after all."

"This is a bit too much. Martial arts novels also involve killing people. There are countless murders in Water Margin."

Everyone was talking about it. Some had seen it, some hadn't. Everyone knew Li Song's background, including Li Song's family.

"What we need to consider is what impact Li Song's change in identity will have on future cooperation."

"Li Song is now a cultural celebrity. Looking at the news in the newspapers, Li Song's novels have an influence in Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, Taiwan, and even in small bookstores, as well as in Chinese circles in the West."

"We should be cautious with people like this."

"When dealing with some issues, we cannot get to the bottom of them." The person in charge of the Kyoto team said.

"Although the true identity of the ship they brought this time is still unknown, it is extremely beneficial to us. I suggest that the confidentiality level regarding Li Song be raised. If he doesn't reveal it, we can pretend not to know."

"In addition, whether internally or externally, we must limit the number of people who know Li Song's deep identity, and be vigilant against those who attempt to find out Li Song's identity." The person in charge of the Kyoto team continued.

The Yangcheng leader nodded. "Yes, we don't know who's behind them, but when guests come, we have good wine, and when jackals come, we have hunting rifles. They've given us a great gift this time. No matter how you look at it, there's no reason to turn it away. Just the technical information Li Song brought back will save our country a lot of money."

"It's almost like we can't even see these things, let alone buy them."

"Since the other party has shown such great sincerity, we must also show sincerity."

"I suggest limiting the number of people who come into contact with Li Song to reduce the risk of attracting attention. On the surface, we should treat him like an ordinary foreign businessman."

The words of Guangzhou's top leader were agreed by everyone.

"I suggest we downplay the apparent level of this matter."

"Did the other party send these things with good intentions or bad intentions? We have no way of guessing, but if the level is low enough, there will be enough room for maneuver." The person in charge of the Kyoto team spoke again.

Everyone nodded when they heard this. Who on earth could have gotten Amei's ships in service? It seemed like a good thing for them to send these things, but no one was sure if they had other plans.

The leader of the Southern Fleet had remained silent until he put down his cigarette and asked, "Could it be related to our northern neighbor?"

"The easing of relations between us and Amei is entirely due to our neighbor to the north!"

"Is there something big going on with our northern neighbor?"

"But no matter what, this ship is extremely important to us at this stage!"

"Besides, the possibility of them doing something bad is relatively low. Although I don't understand Amei's politics very well, if this matter were to be exposed, I wonder how many people in Amei would be in trouble!"

"My personal inclination is that this training ship is probably not one of Aramco's current training ships."

"Maybe it's a spare or a knock-off!"

The person in charge of the Kyoto team nodded and said, "Let's continue to wait for news. I believe there will be news from the training ship soon."

"The next step is to follow the normal working process and unload the cargo on the ship first, so as not to delay the other party's investment!"

"As for the training ship, disguise it as a tugboat and send it north..."

"I object!" The top leader of Guangzhou and the head of the fleet objected together.

"The sea area to our south is wider, and there is a greater demand for this type of training ship!" said the head of the Southern Fleet.

The top leader of Yangcheng nodded: "I think so too."

Upon hearing this, the person in charge of Jindu's team asked, "What about confidentiality?"

"Secrecy should be higher in the North!"

The head of the Southern Fleet said: "This training ship is originally a port transport ship and can definitely move upstream."

"I think so too." Yangcheng's top leader nodded.

"Then let's put this issue aside." The person in charge of the Kyoto team had no choice.

"Everyone, take a break. We haven't had a break for more than 20 hours!" Then the meeting was adjourned.

On the morning of February 26, 1980, the eleventh day of the first lunar month, Li Song felt the energetic body in his arms and began to move again.

"Brother Song, thank you!" Alin leaned tightly against Li Song's chest, feeling Li Song's thick and hard chest. She felt very safe, but still felt a little lost in her heart.

Because Arlene knew that this was not what she wanted, it was just a momentary impulse.

"Alin, I..." Li Song was hesitating whether to tell Alin that he was a novelist. After hesitating for a moment, he opened his mouth and prepared to tell Alin.

"Brother Song, let's just pretend that what happened last night never happened." He didn't expect to be interrupted by Arlin as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Brother Song, I'm sorry, just think of it as a wet dream." Alin thought Li Song was going to say something else, so she spoke decisively.

"Alin, actually..." Li Song wanted to make a final effort to explain.

But the next second, Arlene blocked his mouth.

Since you took the initiative, you're welcome. I've tried my best anyway. I tried to explain twice, but the other party didn't want to listen to what I said, so Li Song gave up.

Then the horn of counterattack sounded again, but it made Arlene flustered and confused.
