Hong Kong Entertainment 1979: A Beating Up the Manager at the Start

After the Kangaroo Consortium seized control of RTV, it initiated a series of reforms.

First, there were personnel appointments. First, they placed their own people in ATV, then they undermined the power of Wong Sik-chiu and Chung King-fai, and then they looked for their own people.

This was just the first step; the second step was even more unethical, directly interfering with the production of the TV series.

The television production system that RTV and TVB had been developing for many years was directly abolished and replaced with the system from Australia.

This reform was met with resistance from most of the television station's employees, led by Huang Xizhao and Zhong Jinghui, as soon as it began.

Although Australia eventually compromised, the blame was entirely placed on Huang Xizhao and Zhong Jinghui.

After the Kangaroo Corporation completely sidelined the two, this system was reinstated.

The implementation went incredibly smoothly. The ordinary employees who wanted to resist were easily won over by a combination of carrot and stick.

Huang Xizhao and Zhong Jinghui had realized the seriousness of the situation, but it was too late to change anything.

Both of them wrote their resignation letters and placed them on their desks, preparing to leave this place of heartbreak.

Just as the two were about to leave, someone came to their office.

The person who came was none other than Liu Cheng, an employee of the Friendly Trading Company who had been placed in the television station department.

Huang Xizhao did not give Liu Cheng a friendly look when Liu Cheng came to his office.

Although this guy didn't do anything, he just couldn't stand looking at him.

Moreover, he represents one of the Kangaroo Kingdom conglomerates and is also one of the main culprits who destroyed his hard work. It's already a big favor that he didn't drive Liu Cheng out.

Liu Cheng didn't care about Huang Xizhao's expression. He smiled, picked up the resignation letter on the desk, glanced at it, and then casually tossed it aside.

"General Manager Huang, why the sudden urge to resign?"

Huang Xizhao completely ignored Liu Cheng, and just packed his things, not taking Liu Cheng seriously at all.

Liu Cheng didn't seem to care. He shrugged and continued:

"It seems General Manager Huang is scared! He's willing to be a coward and hand over all his hard work for nothing!"

These words deeply stung Huang Xizhao. Isn't this all thanks to the people behind you?

He gritted his teeth, turned around, and roared, "Liu Cheng! Don't get cocky, this isn't what you wanted!!!"

"Until the board of directors approves my resignation, I am still the general manager of Lih-Yi! Now, you, get out immediately!!!"

Liu Cheng wasn't angry; he'd gotten used to being scolded ever since he started working at the TV station.

He leaned close to Huang Xizhao's ear, intending to whisper a few words, but Huang Xizhao pushed him away.

"Don't get too close to me, I find you dirty!!!"

Liu Cheng's face turned pale and then red, but he quickly calmed himself down.

"Hey Huang! If you don't want your hard work to go to waste, then come meet someone with me!"

Although he spoke forcefully, his voice was soft, and he was certain that no one outside could hear him.

"I'm not going! I don't have time!"

After saying that, Huang Xizhao continued packing his things without even glancing at Liu Cheng.

"Good! Good! Good!" Liu Cheng took a deep breath and uttered three "good"s, his anger already ignited in his chest.

He thought to himself, if this guy falls into my hands, I will definitely kill him.

However, he had a mission to complete, so he had to lower his head and say softly, "Our boss wants to see you."

Huang Xizhao was puzzled. It seemed that Liu Cheng had no reason to be so subservient to him. Could there be another reason?

Who could be behind Liu Cheng? Isn't it just one of the conglomerates in Australia? But today, it feels like there's someone else behind him.

Huang Xizhao couldn't think of anything for the moment, nor did he want to bother thinking about it.

Although he is shrewd, he is no match for Chung King-fai when it comes to conspiracy theories.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to stay at RTV for so long and gain the trust of most of the employees.

After much hesitation, he decided to meet the boss behind Liu Cheng.

"Okay, you lead the way."

On the other hand, Chung King-fai remained calm. When the people from the friendly trade company said that their boss wanted to see him, he agreed without hesitation.

Liu Cheng drove Huang Xizhao straight to the Peninsula Hotel.

It was half an hour later when Liu Cheng knocked on a room door.

Huang Xizhao was stunned when the door was opened.

"Why is it you?"

Chung King-fai shrugged. "I was invited too, but I arrived a little earlier than you. Don't just stand there, come on in."

Chung King-fai stepped aside, and the two walked in one after the other.

After the two walked through the entrance hall and came inside, Huang Xizhao stood there frozen in place.

How could it be him?

Huang Xizhao stood there, unable to react for a long time.

This person is none other than Li Jiangbo, the director who has been making waves in the film industry recently and has won the annual box office championship for three consecutive years.

Chung King Fai had long anticipated that Wong Sik Cheuk would behave this way, so he ignored him and sat down opposite Li Kong Bo.

"Mr. Li, how about it? I wasn't wrong, was I? Now everyone at Li is stunned when they see you."

Li Jiangbo glanced at Zhong Jinghui. "Was I as scary as I made it out to be?"

After saying that, he looked at Huang Xizhao, who was in a daze, and said, "General Manager Huang, please sit down."

At this moment, Huang Xizhao's mind was in complete chaos.

Li Jiangbo? Is Li Jiangbo the owner of Youhao Trading Company?

He simply couldn't accept this news, after all, Li Jiangbo was in the film industry and had a very good working relationship with Shao Daheng.

I haven't heard any news in the industry that Time Pictures is going to enter the television industry!

Even if he makes a move, what about his collaboration with Shao Yifu?

At this moment, Chung King-fai couldn't stand it anymore and quickly got up to push Wong Sik-chao to sit down.

It wasn't until Huang Xizhao sat down that he realized what was happening.

He looked at Li Jiangbo, then at Zhong Jinghui, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Chung King-fai waved his hand, "Old Huang, don't look at me, I just found out myself!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Xizhao's gaze fell on Li Jiangbo again.

Li Jiangbo sighed and put down his teacup.

"Aren't you surprised?"

Huang Xizhao nodded without saying anything.

Li Jiangbo laughed, "That's right, you should be surprised. If people find out about this, all those tens of millions of yuan I spent will be wasted."

Huang Xizhao gave Zhong Jinghui a deep look, then took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"Mr. Li, are you the owner of the Friendly Trading Company? One of the three major conglomerates in Australia?"

Li Jiangbo nodded. "Not bad."

Huang Xizhao pressed further, "So, Mr. Li's acquisition of RTV's shares is an attempt to enter the television industry?"

Li Jiangbo pondered for a moment and then shook his head.

Huang Xizhao and Zhong Jinghui fell silent; their newly ignited hope had been shattered once again.

In their minds, if RTV had been under the control of the Chinese community long ago, it would have turned a profit long ago. How could it have suffered losses for so many years?

At this moment, Li Jiangbo's voice rang out again.

The sound, like heavenly music, lingered in their minds for a long time.
