Hong Kong Tycoon: Starting from Delivering Dongfeng Express

Chapter 120 Chen Yongren: New Partner, Fat Cat?

The young woman said:

"I admit this was my dereliction of duty, and I thank you for your kindness in taking in Fat Cat, but what you did is illegal!"

Fifth Uncle roared, "Speaking of the law, you're trespassing! Get out of here!"

As he spoke, Fifth Uncle pushed the woman, intending to drive her out.

"Sir, please calm down. If you keep this up, I'm going to call the police!"

Just then, a voice rang out: "Who said they were calling the police? I am a police officer!"

Uncle Wu and the woman stopped what they were doing and saw Ye Dongsheng and Xianxia walking over together.

Fifth Uncle immediately went over: "Xianxia, ​​you've come at the right time! Let her go, I don't want to see her again!"

The fat cat, who had been hiding inside, also ran out: "Uncle Shrimp, Brother Sheng, I don't want to go with her! I want to stay with my godfather!"

Ye Dongsheng smiled warmly and reassured the two, "Fifth Uncle, Fat Cat, don't worry, I'll talk to her!"

He then turned to the young woman and asked, "Miss, may I see your identification and documents?"

The woman handed over her documents, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief, finally someone she could communicate with!
Ye Dongsheng glanced at the work ID. Hong Kong Island is indeed quite Westernized; the work IDs all had English names written on them: Bibi, Cheung.

He then flipped through the documents, confirmed her identity, and said, "Ms. Zhang, are you doing this for Fat Cat's sake, or just to get by?"

BiBi's expression changed, and she hurriedly said, "Of course I'm doing this for Fat Cat's own good!"

Ye Dongsheng shook his head: "I have reservations about whether you can take good care of Fatty Cat. If it weren't for Fifth Uncle's kindness in taking him in, Fatty Cat might have already starved to death!"

BiBi looked guilty: "I was sad for a long time because of this, and I didn't sleep well for many days! So as soon as I found traces of Fat Cat, I came looking for him!"

Ye Dongsheng observed the other person's expression and saw that it didn't seem fake; it appeared that the other person genuinely had a strong sense of responsibility.

Even so, we cannot rely on the other party's sense of responsibility.

Ye Dongsheng said in a gentler tone, "Miss Zhang, if you're doing this for Fatty's own good, you shouldn't have brought him back. You can probably tell that Fatty is doing very well with Uncle Wu, and he's happy here!"

The fat cat immediately chimed in, "Yeah, yeah! I'm so happy here! I don't want to go back with you! If I go back, someone will bully me!"

Ye Dongsheng shrugged: "Miss Zhang, look, after you take Fat Cat back, can you guarantee that you'll watch over him at all times and protect him from being bullied or hurt by others? If you can't do that, aren't you just harming him?"

Bibi opened her mouth, but then said, "No, that's against the rules!"

It's one thing for her to be kind and responsible, but it's another thing to be punished if she doesn't take the fat cat back.

Fifth Uncle roared, "Rules? Rules mean you can just lose people and ignore them! You're not welcome here!"

Bibi's face hardened: "Sir, if you continue to be so unreasonable, I will have no choice but to apply for enforcement!"

Fifth Uncle wanted to argue with her, but was pulled aside. Ye Dongsheng looked at Bibi and asked, "Miss Zhang, according to your rules, how can we get Fat Cat and Fifth Uncle together?"

Bibi explained, "First of all, we reported the case to the police station after Fat Cat went missing. Now that he has been found, we must take Fat Cat to the police station to close the case!"

Ye Dongsheng nodded: "OK, that's only natural."

"Then the fat cat must return to our shelter. After we observe and evaluate him, and once the observation period is over and it is confirmed that the fat cat has recovered, he can be adopted!"

Then she looked at Fifth Uncle: "If you really want to be with Fat Cat, you have to go through the process of applying to the Social Welfare Department to adopt him."

Ye Dongsheng realized a crucial link in this chain: observation and assessment. In other words, the power to determine whether Fat Cat possessed the ability to live a normal life was in the hands of the Social Welfare Department.

"Ms. Zhang, how long is your so-called observation period?"

"Three months to six months."

Upon hearing this, Fat Cat cried out again, "Godfather! I don't want to go! I don't want to leave you!"

Ye Dongsheng also shook his head. At least a three-month observation period is too long. Who knows what kind of trouble might happen in the middle?

After experiencing a normal and happy life with Uncle Wu, someone like Fat Cat would be very reluctant to return to a so-called shelter or welfare home, and conflicts might very well occur if he went back.

"Miss Zhang, you should go back now!"

Bibi immediately frowned. She had thought that after explaining so much, the other party would agree, but she didn't expect to get this result in the end.

Seeing that she couldn't reason with them, Bibi turned and left. Now she had no choice but to go back, report the situation, and then apply for enforcement.

After Bibi left, Fat Cat immediately smiled happily, but Uncle Wu's brows remained furrowed. The other party represented the Social Welfare Department, and this matter was unlikely to end there.

Xianxia also chimed in, "What should we do now? I don't think she'll let this go!"

Ye Dongsheng smiled and said, "Fifth Uncle, Uncle Shrimp, I'll take Fat Cat to the Social Welfare Department tomorrow."

Fifth Uncle asked in surprise, "Ah Sheng, are you going to send the fat cat back?"

Fat Cat kept dodging away from Ye Dongsheng, saying, "I don't want to go back!"

Ye Dongsheng shook his head and explained, "Don't worry, I'm not sending Fat Cat back, but going to talk to them."

"communicate?"

"Yes, this matter cannot be delayed; we must find them to resolve it, otherwise it will remain a hidden danger."

This Ms. Zhang is just a low-level employee; she only knows how to talk about rules and regulations and has no decision-making power whatsoever. There's no point in communicating with her. If we're going to talk, we should talk to someone who has real authority!

……

The following day, the Social Welfare Department.

"Bibi, has the matter with that fat cat been resolved?"

When questioned by her superiors, Bibi shook her head: "He ended up on Lantau Island, living with an old man, and he doesn't want to come back."

Superior Sister Liu directly expressed her dissatisfaction: "Bibi, how do you do things? Just because he doesn't want to come back doesn't mean he can't come back! He's mentally challenged and has no judgment at all! How can you let him decide for himself?"
Moreover, this fat cat has a criminal record. If he keeps wandering around and causes any trouble, we will all be held accountable!
I don't care what method you use, you must bring him back as soon as possible!

"Then the only option is to apply for enforcement and bring him back." Bibi sighed inwardly. To be honest, she didn't want to use violence, but she had tried everything to persuade Fatty Cat to come back these past few days.

Upon hearing Bibi's words, Sister Liu immediately stood up: "Come with me to see Mrs. Zhou and explain the situation!"

Even if they have to enforce it, they still need to apply to their superiors.

Upon reaching the office upstairs, the assistant stopped them, saying, "Please wait a moment, Mrs. Zhou is currently receiving distinguished guests!"

The two could only wait at the door, whispering to each other, "Bibi, when you see Empress Dowager Zhou later, I don't need to teach you what to say, right?" Bibi's expression was not very good. She understood what it meant: to exaggerate and portray Fat Cat's attitude as bad as possible, so that it would be easy to get the application for enforcement to bring him back.

Just then, the assistant came out from inside: "Gentlemen, Mrs. Zhou invites you in!"

The two exchanged a glance and couldn't help but ask, "Miss Wang, isn't Mrs. Zhou currently entertaining distinguished guests?"

Assistant Ms. Wang said with a smile, "I just need to talk to you about something."

Although they were curious, the two followed him into the office.

As soon as I entered, I heard Mrs. Zhou's laughter:
"Mr. Ye, we are truly grateful for your donation to our Social Welfare Department!"

If Hong Kong Island had more philanthropists like you, these vulnerable groups would certainly receive better care, and society as a whole would become a better place!

Bibi looked up, her face showing surprise. She saw that the person talking to Mrs. Zhou was none other than the young man she had met yesterday!
The fat man and the old man sitting next to him were none other than Fat Cat and Fifth Uncle!
Ye Dongsheng smiled and patted the fat cat beside him:

"It was because of Fat Cat that I learned there are so many vulnerable groups on Hong Kong Island and that the Social Welfare Department has done so much work. Compared to you, Mrs. Chow, I can only do my bit!"

When Zhou Tai saw the two of them come in, he asked directly, "Bibi, are you in charge of the Fat Cat matter?"

Bibi nodded quickly: "I'm doing it!"

"Alright, then you can accompany Mr. Ye and Fat Cat to the police station to close the case now! Then come back and help Fat Cat with his rehabilitation procedures!"

Bibi's mouth dropped open: "Recovery?"

“Yes, is there a problem?” Mrs. Zhou asked.

"But the fat cat hasn't been observed yet..."

Ye Dongsheng looked at Bibi and smiled, "Miss Zhang, we meet again. Fat Cat has been living outside for several months without any conflicts or discomfort. Everyone around him can testify to that."

Fifth Uncle immediately said, "Yes, I and everyone in the village can testify to that!"

Then Ye Dongsheng added, "Furthermore, Dongfeng Express has already hired Fatty Cat as a full-time employee. He has the ability to earn money and support himself, and he is no different from a normal adult! The Social Welfare Department can come to check and follow up from time to time, which we welcome!"

Mrs. Zhou smiled and nodded: "I just talked to Fatty Cat. He's very well-behaved and sensible. I think he's already quite normal. If he stays here any longer, it's just a waste of social resources! What we should do now is help him integrate into society!"
As for the observation period, since there are already witnesses, let's start counting from the time Fat Cat and this old man lived together!

Bibi opened her mouth: "But, this doesn't quite fit..."

Her supervisor, Sister Liu, immediately pulled her aside and said with a smile, "No problem, I'll have Bibi do it right away!"

Ye Dongsheng smiled, nodded, and stood up: "Mrs. Zhou, then we won't bother you any longer. Let's go and complete the formalities first!"

"Okay, Mr. Ye, take care!"

Mrs. Zhou escorted Ye Dongsheng and his group to the door before slowly turning around. Her colleague, Sister Liu, cautiously asked, "Mrs. Zhou, will this cause any problems?"

Mrs. Zhou glanced at her: "What's the problem? Isn't it good that someone is willing to genuinely adopt a vulnerable person like Fat Cat?"

Sister Liu gave an awkward smile: "Okay! Okay!"

Mrs. Zhou admonished him, "Rules and regulations are rigid, but people are flexible. Don't be inflexible in doing things; you have to be adaptable!"

"Yes, Mrs. Zhou is right!"

Mrs. Zhou snorted lightly. The other party had donated 30!
How many facilities can be upgraded for the welfare home below? How many homeless children can be rescued? How many vulnerable groups like Fat Cat can be helped?

You're now using rules and regulations to stop them? Are you just going to throw away the 30 yuan?!

Can you clearly distinguish between what's important and what's not?

……

On the other side, Bibi was helping Fat Cat with the paperwork, and Fifth Uncle looked at Ye Dongsheng with gratitude: "Ah Sheng, you've really gone to so much trouble! I didn't expect you to donate so much money!"

Ye Dongsheng waved his hand and said with a smile, "Fifth Uncle, there's no need for any expense. You helped me a lot back then! Besides, I was making a charitable donation, which will earn me a good reputation!"

Although Ye Dongsheng said that, Fifth Uncle still knew right from wrong and could only keep this sentiment firmly in his heart.

Then he asked, "Sheng, are you really going to let Fatty Cat work for you? Won't it cause you trouble?"

Ye Dongsheng advised, "Fifth Uncle, although I know you're worried, you can't support him like this for the rest of his life. You should find Fatty some work to do. Fatty can do the job I have there. With us looking after him, nothing will happen to him!"

Fifth Uncle nodded: "Thank you so much!"

Ye Dongsheng smiled, while simultaneously checking the system notification that had just popped up in his mind:
"Help the moronic fat cat, do good deeds, accumulate virtue, and gather a ray of luck."

In the afternoon, at the entrance of the Social Welfare Department, Ye Dongsheng and Mrs. Zhou stood together, smiling and shaking hands amidst the flashing lights of reporters' cameras.

The next day, Dongfeng Express.

Ye Dongsheng held a newspaper, and saw a news article on it:
"Dongfeng Express, a charitable enterprise, donated 30 yuan to support charitable and welfare causes in Hong Kong!"

Ye Dongsheng smiled and nodded. Since he had already donated the money, he naturally wanted to spread the word and gain a good reputation!

Then Ye Dongsheng looked at the fat cat and asked with a smile:

"Fat Cat, I'm giving you two choices: be a deliveryman or work as a courier packaging worker. Which one do you want to do?"

Dongfeng Express is currently expanding and recruiting delivery personnel. As long as you get a "Return Permit" for Fat Cat, it won't be difficult for him to deliver goods with the main force.

As for the courier packer, Fat Cat may be a bit dim-witted, but he's quite skillful with his hands. Whether it's making rattan chairs or bamboo baskets, he does a good job, and the packaging is no problem either.

Fat Cat scratched his head: "Brother Sheng, who gets off work early? I want to go home early to be with my godfather!"

Ye Dongsheng laughed. Everyone else thinks about income first, but Fatty Cat only thinks about getting off work early!

"The delivery workers get off work early!"

Express delivery workers are required to be on duty during working hours. After a delivery person returns from a shipment, their daily task is practically complete.

"Then I'll be a deliveryman!"

A moment later, Ahua led Fat Cat to the back: "Fly, this is Fat Cat. You must take good care of him from now on! Explain anything he doesn't understand to him patiently!"

Fly immediately patted his chest and assured him, "Boss, don't worry, I'll definitely take good care of him!"

Fat Cat, with an innocent smile on his chubby face, waved his hand like a child greeting, "Hello, brothers, my name is Fat Cat!"

Chen Yongren stared blankly at the chubby, goofy cat in front of him. Was this his new partner?
