Vicious dogs in Hong Kong, entrepreneurs practicing evil cultivation

A week has passed since the "horse poisoning case" broke out!

The matter was left unresolved, and it seemed to have simply passed by, and perhaps that was all that could be done.

Even if Zhou Xinian managed to get Peng Lilai to talk, and could easily uncover the entire gang by following the clues, it would be useless.

Peng Lilai had no gang, nor could he have a gang. If he had a gang, the nature of the gang would have changed. In the end, it was the few grooms who took the blame.

But the "poisoned horse case" won't just end there!

Those who manipulate horse racing to undermine the foundations of colonial culture must be dealt with, and MacLehose has every reason to lobby for local funding.

However, these people will not be tried for horse racing manipulation, and Zhou Xinian is destined not to be able to remain a director of the Jockey Club due to his merit in cracking the "poisoned horse case".

Chen Guanjiang took his younger siblings on a shopping spree in Tsim Sha Tsui during the holiday. When he returned to his apartment and saw the visitor, his face immediately turned cold.

Du Huiying quickly greeted, "Ah Jiang is back! Why did you buy so much stuff? It must be heavy!"

"Four dogs... I..." Chen Xiangshui stood up awkwardly.

They traveled by car, with bodyguards carrying their belongings, and there was an elevator to the upper floors. I really don't know what was so heavy; it was just them making conversation for the sake of it.

Chen Guanjiang asked bluntly, "What are you doing here?"

"Tomorrow night is Christmas Eve, let's go home for the holiday."

"Didn't they already split up?"

"You idiot! We're family, even if we're broken, we're still connected by blood. How can you say such heartless things?"

"hehe…"

He gave HK$200,000 when he went home last time, and now, less than two months later, he's found an excuse to come back. Chen Guanjiang knows his scheming all too well; it's all about money, money, and more money.

What they didn't know was that Chen Guanjiang, who had been a paparazzi in his previous life, had witnessed far too many of these filthy things.

Zhang Ruoyun's father signed contracts on her behalf, resulting in debts exceeding 100 million yuan.

Mao Xiaotong's father's demand for 5000 million yuan in alimony has drawn media attention.

Zhang Shaohan's mother transferred all of his assets while he was undergoing heart treatment;

Cai Shaofen was sold to Liu Luanxiong for playing while paying off her mother's gambling debts;

Mei Yanfang, Andy Lau, Wu Kequn, Zhou Huajian, Zhang Weijian... there are simply too many to count, all of them were treated as cash cows by their parents.

Although, not all parents are like that.

But Chen Guanjiang never dared to gamble on human nature, and he understood that human nature could not withstand testing, so it was better to cut ties cleanly from the beginning.

If the other party can face the new relationship squarely and is willing to rebuild family ties, it is not impossible to provide a comfortable life.

If not, ending it here is also a good outcome, and one will then understand the principle that desires are insatiable.

Du Huiying said unhappily, "Ajiang, you're successful now and don't want to acknowledge your poor parents, but your younger siblings still need to come home."

Chen Guanjiang hadn't expected his mother to speak to him in such a forceful tone. Was it the HK$20 that gave her enough confidence? Or had something changed in the past two months?

Upon closer inspection, Chen Guanjiang was taken aback and frowned, asking, "Where did you get that Gucci you're wearing?"

Whether it was his past life as a paparazzi or his newfound understanding of luxury goods in this life, Chen Guanjiang could immediately see the change in his mother's clothing.

After half a century of development, Gucci has become a representative of high-end women's wear, and since the late 60s, "GG" has become a direct visual symbol of Gucci.

While conquering the European market, Gucci entered the Hong Kong market in 1970. Each piece of clothing started at least HK$2000, and with the new leather bag, Du Huiying's outfit cost at least HK$1.

"Of course we'll make a profit!"

Du Huiying couldn't help but show off the fabric, saying, "Look at you, you've made it big and you're still wearing tattered clothes? Jiagang and Mangniu, who've been with you, don't even have a decent set of clothes."

“…………”

Hongbang Tailors, high-end custom tailoring, exudes understated luxury without needing logos or tags. They truly demonstrate their strength to those who can see their value, while remaining discreet to those who cannot.

Chen Guanjiang had already accumulated HK$100 million in capital, but he did not indulge in extravagant consumption. He only bought a few clothes when his third sister attended an event.

Unexpectedly, after giving his parents HK$20, they were able to spend a huge sum on clothing, which made Chen Guanjiang even more determined to part ways with his parents.

Many families are unable to complete the initial accumulation of capital. The continuous devaluation of currency is certainly the most important factor, but extravagance and excessive consumption are also fundamental reasons.

Chen Guanjiang was too lazy to explain anything and told them to leave, "I have custody of my younger brother and sister. How I raise them is my business. If you have nothing else to say, you can leave."

"Do you dare let me out?"

"Don't come any closer, or I'll call the police!"

“…………”

The eight bodyguards, without lifting a finger, used their bodies to form a barrier, pushing Du Huiying out the door and then pushing her into the elevator until she reached the ground floor.

Chen Guanjiang neither heard nor paid attention to his mother's shouts and curses downstairs. He turned to his third sister, Chen Xiangshui, and asked, "What's going on?"

Chen Xiangshui explained in a low voice, "The family opened a funeral clothing shop with the money you gave us. Mommy's been having good luck lately; she won the new clothes playing cards..."

Chen Guanjiang didn't care how the money was spent and continued to ask, "I'm asking you, why did you bring her home?"

Chen Xiangshui shrank back and said, "Mommy went to the association to find me and said that you haven't had a proper birthday celebration in over ten years, so on Christmas Eve, the whole family will be together to make up for it..."

“…………”

Chen Guanjiang was speechless for a moment. Although it had nothing to do with him, the grievances brought by the memories kept surging into his heart.

Born on October 12, 1958, celebrating one's birthday is truly a difficult thing.

Because the number of days in the lunar months alternates, with short months having 29 days and long months having 30 days, the 30th day of the eighth lunar month often doesn't fall on that day.

迄今为止，也只有61年、62年、64年、67年、68年、71年有农曆8月30日生日这天。

In 14 years, it only happened 6 times.

I was young before and didn't care much about birthdays, but last summer was a particularly memorable one.

After entering puberty, I started to fantasize about my birthday and asked to have a special birthday celebration, but I was scolded instead.

A child's birthday is a mother's day of suffering. Parents firmly believe that children do not need to celebrate their birthdays, and in fact, siblings do as well.

A father doesn't grow a beard while his child is alive, and a mother doesn't celebrate her birthday while her child is alive. Parents are not obligated to celebrate their children's birthdays.

however!

Chen Guanjiang clearly remembers that his younger brother Chen Guandong has already celebrated his tenth and twelfth birthdays.

In the parents' words, ten years old is the age of little adulthood, and twelve years old is the year of one's birth sign, so children can celebrate their birthdays when they are ten or twelve years old.

But Chen Guanjiang clearly remembers that in 1968, when he was ten years old, there was a day called the 30th day of the eighth lunar month.

I am also considered a "young adult," but my parents never celebrated my birthday.

Favored children naturally have birthdays, while unfavored children are often excused to skip them.

People are not worried about scarcity, but about inequality. Children don't expect their parents to treat everyone equally; they only hope that their parents won't be too biased.

Now that I have money, even though there is no 30th day of the 8th lunar month this year, my parents are still making arrangements to celebrate my birthday.

Therefore, it's not that children don't need to celebrate their birthdays, but rather whether parents are willing to celebrate their children's birthdays and whether the child themselves is valuable enough for parents to celebrate their birthdays.

However, like every adult who has experienced the trials of society, the desire to celebrate birthdays has passed.

If you want to buy sweet-scented osmanthus with wine, it doesn't seem like you are a teenager.
