Hong Kong Movies: You Hongxingzi, what the hell is the charity king?

Chapter 172 "171" Mao Xiangyang's Causeway Bay Travelogue
Evening, 18:00.

A Mercedes drove along the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel towards the Peninsula Hotel.

In the car were brothers Jian Dingchi and Jian Aowei.

There was a traffic jam in the tunnel at that time, but Jian Aowei, who was driving, was not in a hurry at all and looked relaxed and at ease.

"Awei, why do you think Guan Zu invited us to dinner?" Jian Dingchi, with his buck teeth, looked at the long traffic jam in the tunnel.

"do not know."

Just yesterday, they received a call from Guan Zu himself, saying that he wanted to invite them to dinner, which surprised the two brothers.

Jian Aowei said: "This Guan Zu has not contacted us since he ran for district councillor with us last time... This sudden dinner invitation must have some special purpose."

"But we don't have any intersection with him. The only possibility I can think of is that it's about the legislator."

"Ah? Legislative member?" Jian Dingchi was stunned.

"My guess."

Although Jian Aowei didn't know what Guan Zu wanted to do, he had a hunch that it was about the legislator.

At this time, what the two brothers didn't know was that Guan Zu was also stuck in the Hung Hom Tunnel, just 50 meters behind them.

Guan Zu looked at the long traffic jam ahead and suddenly couldn't help but think of a plot.

"Xiao Fu, what if one day a group of gangsters bought the shares of Eastern Tunnel and then blew up the Hung Hom Tunnel... Will the stock price of Eastern Tunnel rise wildly?"

"I think so... But how could anyone do this? It's such a big crime."

"Haha~~ Maybe someone would do that."

quickly,

The convoy in front loosened up and moved forward slowly.

It took more than 20 minutes to finally arrive at the Peninsula Hotel.

As soon as they got out of the car in the parking lot, Guan Zu and his two companions met the two brothers Jian Aowei and Jian Dingchi.

"Huh~~"

"Haha~~What a coincidence!"

Both sides were surprised.

"You guys are blocking the tunnel too?"

"Yeah, we're stuck too. I guess we're behind you."

As Guan Zu spoke, he looked at Jian Aowei. At this moment, Jian Aowei did not have the majestic aura he had in the "Cold War" period, but with his thick black-framed glasses and deep and restrained eyes, it was obvious at first glance that he was not someone to be trifled with.

As for Jian Dingchi, Guan Zu just glanced at him, and couldn't help but think of the idiot gift, and couldn't help laughing.

The two brothers didn't know what was going on. They were obviously brothers, but one was skinny and ugly, while the other was tall and handsome. If they stood together, no one would have thought they were brothers.

Jian Dingchi: “…………”

I felt offended by Guan Zu's gaze!
At this time, Jian Aowei also saw Guan Zu Zhenren for the first time and couldn't help but look at him.

His eyes gradually became serious!

This person seems to be as warm as a spring breeze, which makes people feel good about him.

But Jane Austen saw another image beneath the surface:
——domineering!
Jian Aowei no longer dared to underestimate the enemy and became extremely alert.

I'm afraid this banquet will not be a good one!
The two parties walked into the Peninsula Hotel together and entered the box.

Order food,

to chat with.

At the beginning, we just chatted and got familiar with each other.

Then the food was served and the drinks were served.

Why do we need this process?
Because of eating and drinking, the social relationship will be upgraded to a level of "I have eaten with him and are no longer strangers", which can pave the way for a friendly atmosphere for the subsequent conversation.

After three rounds of drinking,

Guan Zu gestured to Xiao Fu.

Xiaofu took out an instrument and measured the entire box.

Seeing Guan Zu so serious, Jian Aowei and Jian Dingchi also started to become serious.

After Xiaofu finished the test, he said, "Brother Zu, no problem."

Guan Zu nodded, and then his face became serious: "Mr. Jian, Lawyer Jian... This time I asked the two brothers to come here because there is a more important matter, and I want to cooperate with the two of you."

Jian Aowei narrowed his eyes and said, "I don't know what kind of cooperation you are talking about, Mr. Guan."

Guan Zu smiled: "Legislative Councillor!"

Jian Dingchi looked at Jian Aowei in shock, his younger brother actually guessed it right.

Guan Zu smiled and said, "I defeated Mr. Kan in the last district councillor election, and I am very sorry for that. This time, I want to give Mr. Kan a legislative councillor as compensation."

Jian Aowei frowned and said, "Mr. Guan, forgive me for being blunt, there are only two votes in Wan Chai, and one was given to my brother. I'm afraid your men don't have enough to share, right?"

"I think Chen Yongren and Su Jianqiu both have enough reputation to be eligible to run for legislative council."

Guan Zu shook his head and smiled, "No... I have another district that I am sure will win."

Jian Aowei and Jian Dingchi: “???”

"where?"

Guan Zu said: "In the Nine Dragons!"

Currently, Guan Zu is confident of winning a total of four parliamentary seats.

One Hong Kong Island East (Wan Chai, North Point, etc.), 2 seats.

One Kowloon Central (Wong Tai Sin, Kowloon City), 2 seats.

Although Kwan Cho rarely receives attention in Wong Tai Sin and Kowloon City, as property companies continue to do charity work there and spend money, Kwan Cho's support rate in Wong Tai Sin and Kowloon City has reached 36% and 38% respectively.

These two districts have a population of 40 and 38 respectively, with over 25 to 30 adults. If voting is carried out, at least 10 valid votes can be cast.

The other candidates for legislative seats are competing with Guan Zubi.

Not to mention Wan Chai, Guan Zu's words are absolutely binding.

"In Kowloon?"

Jian Aowei and Jian Dingchi were both surprised.

Jian Aowei said seriously: "Mr. Guan, please don't joke!"

"No, I'm not kidding!" Guan Zu's eyes were full of confidence, "If I said I'm sure, then of course I'm sure!"

"Five months ago, I had already established property management companies in Wong Tai Sin and Kowloon City, and I do more than 5 charity works every day..."

"I can confidently say that as long as I raise my voice in Wong Tai Sin and Kowloon City, and say who I want to be a legislator, that person will be elected."

"Of course, you don't have to worry about these... If we cooperate, I can give Mr. Kan a seat as a legislator for Hong Kong East."

"You should be able to trust my appeal in Wan Chai."

After hearing this, Jian Dingchi was moved.

He naturally believed in Guan Zu's appeal. Last time, he only limited the votes for district councillors in Causeway Bay, but he still got more than 1 votes. Now that the scope of legislative councillors has been expanded to Wan Chai, North Point, Chai Wan and other areas, he can definitely get more.

Jian Aowei was also moved: "I don't know, what do we need to pay?"

This is what he can't figure out.

Jian family, is there anything that Guan Zu values?
Money? Guan Zu is not bad either.

what else?
“You don’t have to pay anything!”

Guan Zu looked sincere, "I am attracted to you, Lawyer Jian. I have always believed that talents are hard to come by, especially those with good character and strong abilities. I believe that Lawyer Jian will definitely become a senior lawyer in the future."

As soon as this word comes out,
In Jian Aowei's heart, there was actually a kind of joy of being recognized.

Jian Aowei said: "But, I am still just an ordinary lawyer now!"

He had only been back from the UK for two years, and even though he had a network of connections at Lincoln Inn, he was still just an ordinary lawyer in the law firm.

Guan Zu smiled: "I just said that I am investing in your future. I believe in your future! Talent is something I always value very much!"

"I think you all know Chen Yongren. He is an undercover agent assigned by the police force to work beside me. But I think he is a talent, so I made him the principal of the school and entrusted many important matters to him."

"I never hesitate to invest in talents!" "Now, I recognize the talent and character of Lawyer Jian, so I am willing to invest in Mr. Jian Dingchi in advance."

The two brothers Jian Dingchi and Jian Aowei were moved.

My favorable impression of Guan Zu increased rapidly.

It’s like an ordinary person. Suddenly one day, someone offers 1000 million and says, “I think highly of your talent and character. I’m willing to give you 1000 million. Are you willing to be my friend?”
Who wouldn’t be confused!
Who wouldn’t kowtow and worship on the spot?
At least Jian Dingchi and Jian Aowei were confused.

Guan Zu's words were full of temptation: "I, Guan Zu, love making friends the most. As long as you become my friend, I will immediately give you the position of legislator of this term!"

Jian Dingchi's breathing became heavy.

"and many more……"

Jian Aowei quickly pushed his hands: "Let us slow down, we need to calm down!"

Guan Zu smiled and nodded: "No hurry, you can go back and think about it slowly."

Jian Aowei took a few deep breaths, calmed down a little, and said, "I, Jian Aowei, will not cooperate with lawbreakers."

Guan Zu laughed out loud: "Lawyer Jian, you are joking. Who in the whole of Hong Kong Island is not breaking the law? Especially those foreigners, who are seeking rent through power and are eager to make more money in the last few years. Do you think they are breaking the law?"

Jian Aowei nodded: "I was wrong. What I meant was that I would not cooperate with those who do evil... You are a society, you should understand what I mean."

Although Jane Austen wanted to help his brother get the seat of Legislative Yuan member, he had his own set of principles and pursuits regarding the law and would not violate his principles for other things.

Guan Zu smiled: "Don't worry, I, Guan Zu, have always been law-abiding and will never do anything illegal or evil."

After all, there is a couplet hanging on the wall of Guan Zu's office:
On the left it says: Obey the law!
On the right it says: Be kind to others!
Horizontal banner: Dissolute... No, it’s - magnanimous!
Who among those who have entered Guan Zu’s office would not praise him?
(Tan Meili: Oh, yes, yes!)

Jian Aowei thought for a moment and said, "This matter is too important. Please allow us to go back and think about it carefully."

Guan Zu smiled: "No problem!"

quickly,

The banquet was over.

The two brothers Jian Aowei and Jian Dingchi left, got in the car and went home.

in the car,

"Ah Wei, I..."

Jian Aowei: "Brother, I know what you mean. I really want to be a legislator, but we must be cautious about cooperating with Guan Zu."

Jian Dingchi: "What are we afraid of? I see that Guan Zu has been trying hard to clear his name, and it is obvious that he wants to get away with it in 9*... He can't have done anything too illegal."

Jian Aowei nodded: "I am also very sure of this. There has been no negative news about Guan Zu in the past year, and 9* is coming. He has finally cleared his name, so naturally he will not mix with the bad guys again."

"My only concern is that... once we get on his boat, we won't be able to get off."

Jian Dingchi: "What are you afraid of? At worst we can go our separate ways."

Jian Aowei rolled his eyes: "Brother, it's not easy to get away after taking advantage of Guan Zu. Don't forget his social status."

When Jian Dingchi heard this, he sighed.

He really wants to be a member of parliament!
And he is a legislator, how impressive!

……

……

20:00 in the evening...

Mao Xiangyang got off the bus and went upstairs.

This afternoon, he, along with Lu Jiayao and other top ten contestants of the "Knowledge Cup", were sent to ATV to record the show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?"

Mao Xiangyang didn't want to go, but a group of enthusiastic neighbors surrounded him and carried him into the bus.

Mao Xiangyang: “…………”

I shouldn’t have lived in Causeway Bay earlier!
It took 3 hours and the recording didn't end until 18: in the evening.

Then, under the guidance of Tan Meili, they had dinner together near ATV. During the dinner, he and Lu Jiayao, two people of similar age, sat together and chatted. They unexpectedly got along well.

Then we became friends.

Then he heard Lu Jiayao praising Guan Zu's good deeds many times.

Mao Xiangyang: “…………”

I heard Guan Zu's real name being recited again and again.

Outrageous!

After dinner, Mao Xiangyang returned home, turned on the TV and switched to Asia TV.

In addition to interacting and chatting with other people, he also often watches TV, especially the news, to learn about Hong Kong Island.

He has gained a lot in the past few days, and his views on many things have changed.

"Is this what they mean by "learning from books is always shallow, and one must practice to truly understand it"?

Mao Xiangyang read a lot, so his mind is very flexible.

at this time,

ATV happened to broadcast an interview with Kwan Cho and Tam Mei-lee.

Mao Xiangyang was originally preparing to take a shower, but when he saw this, he stopped to watch.

"As the saying goes, reading can make you wise, and reading more never hurts."

"I can earn money again if I lose it, but I am serious about doing good deeds... I have always been committed to doing good deeds, never dare to slack off, and never care about the reward!"

"I found that many people are not clear about Chinese history, so I deliberately chose Five Thousand Years of Chinese History."

Mao Xiangyang watched Guan Zu on TV. Although the picture quality was not very clear, his eloquent and upright appearance touched Mao Xiangyang deeply.

These days, he has heard too many rumors about Guan Zu.

Without exception, all praise.

Moreover, they all come from the mouths of ordinary people, so it is impossible to fake them.

Moreover, according to his investigation, Guan Zu was really doing every good deed.

In Mao Xiangyang's heart, the image of Guan Zu gradually became fuller.

The prodigal son can never change his fortune!
Even though he is a gangster, he still insists on doing good deeds, not committing crimes, and makes his gangsters always do good.

Moreover, it can also gain recognition from the general public.

This kind of person is really rare and precious!
Next, the TV began broadcasting an interview with Tan Meili.

Mao Xiangyang was no longer interested and turned around to take his clothes and go take a shower.

As the cold water rushed down from the shower head, Mao Xiangyang calmed down and his mind began to race.

This person is Guan Zu!

We must unite!

He turned off the water, put on his clothes, and returned to his desk.

Pick up the paper and put down the pen.

"XXXX:"

"Since yesterday, I have made a new discovery about Guan Zu."

"After yesterday's exam, I checked into Causeway Bay, ready to learn more about Guan Zu's influence in this area..."

"However, right after we moved in, we heard from our neighbors that their family was saved by Guan Zu and was not oppressed by other gangs. The details are..."

"After this incident, Guan Zu not only did not ask for a reward, but instead encouraged the girl to study hard and strive to get into university..."

He objectively recorded everything he saw and heard on paper.
