Chapter 50

The interview ended smoothly.

“Mr. Ni, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule.”

Liu Jiayi shook hands with Ni Yongyao and then said: “If there's a chance, I'd like to invite Mr. Ni to a meal to express my gratitude.”

As she spoke, Liu Jiayi handed over a business card.

“This is my private number, call me anytime.”

Liu Jiayi winked at Ni Yongyao, then left with a fragrant breeze, along with the two photographers.

“Big Brother, Miss Liu seems to be interested in you?”

Ni Yongxiao said after seeing the guests off.

Ni Yongyao didn't care at all and threw the business card into the drawer casually.

Ni Yongyao had encountered this kind of thing too many times and was long used to it.

That noon.

The interview was broadcast on TVB news.

Ni Yongyao's movie-star-like looks instantly attracted a lot of attention, and at the same time, the Galaxy Communications Company also sparked wider discussion.

The name Ni Yongyao also became known to the public.

Along with it, the sales of the Galaxy No. 1 became hot again, with countless people lining up to buy.

Ni family.

Ni Yongyao saw the news broadcast and knew that this wave of reputation was stable.

And with reputation, some things would be easier to handle.

“Yongxiao, make an appointment with the Administration Department; I will visit their boss tomorrow.”

Ni Yongyao instructed.

The Administration Department had great power in Huigang, managing many departments.

However, what Ni Yongyao valued most was that the Administration Department was responsible for submitting the list of Justices of the Peace.

Justice of the Peace, a title appointed by Huigang and held by civilians.

A Justice of the Peace does not have an official status, but has the power to supervise and maintain social peace.

What Ni Yongyao needed was the status of a Justice of the Peace.

This was very important for the Ni family to wash clean and go ashore.

A Justice of the Peace was a stepping stone; with it, Ni Yongyao could open the door to Huigang's upper society, thereby expanding his own connections.

“Got it, Big Brother.”

Ni Yongxiao nodded and agreed.

He didn't ask anything more; for his big brother, Ni Yongxiao always had unconditional trust.

The next day.

Central and Western District, Barker Road.

A luxury car drove slowly and stopped on the side of the road.

The car door opened, and Ni Yongyao stepped down.

Looking at the Administration Department building not far away, Ni Yongyao straightened his suit and walked in.

“Hello, Mr. Ni, please follow me; Mr. Alston is waiting for you in his office.”

After entering the lobby, a staff member came up and recognized Ni Yongyao at a glance.

Then, with a smile, he led Ni Yongyao upstairs.

This was the benefit of being on TV, especially TVB; Ni Yongyao's face was almost remembered by everyone in Huigang.

Ni Yongyao knew very well that without this interview, let alone receiving such a warm reception, even making an appointment would be a problem.

After all, the boss of the Administration Department wasn't just anyone who could be seen by any Tom, Dick, or Harry.

Top floor.

Alston's office.

Ni Yongyao met the highest official of the Administration Department, a ghost (foreigner) with half a bald head.

“Mr. Ni, is there something?”

Alston put down the magazine in his hand and said.

“A small matter.”

Ni Yongyao sat down in front of Alston.

“I have long yearned to be a Justice of the Peace.

Since I was a child, I have thought about maintaining social order in Huigang and supervising legal procedures; I don't know if there is a chance now?”

Ni Yongyao said straight to the point.

“I'm very sorry, this year's list is already full.”

Alston opened a document, glanced at it, and shrugged his shoulders.

Hearing this, Ni Yongyao was not surprised in the slightest; he hadn't expected to be selected directly either.

Long before coming, Ni Yongyao had prepared the conditions.

“I will donate five million to the Administration Department.”

Ni Yongyao raised his palm and said.

Alston hesitated significantly upon hearing this number.

Ni Yongyao immediately added: “It's five million every year.”

“This...

Mr. Ni, this year's list is indeed full, but next year's Justice of the Peace will definitely be yours.”

Alston said.

Seeing this, Ni Yongyao was unhurried and placed a briefcase on the desk.

He opened it and turned it toward Alston.

“This is a small gift from me personally.”

In the briefcase, there were stacks of neatly arranged US dollars!

Seeing so many US dollars, Alston's eyes widened immediately, then he quickly closed the briefcase and placed it by his feet.

He then took out the document recording the list of Justices of the Peace and added the three characters "Ni Yongyao" to it without hesitation.

“Mr. Ni, an entrepreneur as young and promising as you is the future of Huigang; the Justice of the Peace must be given to you.”

Alston changed his tune.

Regarding this, Ni Yongyao was not surprised at all.

This result had long been in Ni Yongyao's expectations.

It was already 1991; what would happen to Huigang in a few years was already common knowledge.

In this situation, all the ghosts in Huigang were holding the mentality of making one last haul.

Accepting bribes was nothing more than normal.

Even the boss of the Administration Department couldn't refuse the tens of millions in huge funds delivered right in front of him.

PS: New book setting sail, begging the masters to cast some flowers, evaluation tickets, and monthly tickets!........

Even one flower, one evaluation ticket, or one monthly ticket is fine.............

There are three types of Justices of the Peace.

They are Official Justices of the Peace, Non-official Justices of the Peace, and New Territories Justices of the Peace.

The three types of Justices of the Peace only differ in review conditions; their status and duties are exactly the same.

What Ni Yongyao smashed out with money was a New Territories Justice of the Peace.

This is because Official and Non-official Justices of the Peace both need to be nominated strictly according to regulations and reviewed by the Governor and the committee before they can be knighted.

But the New Territories Justice of the Peace is much simpler.

There are no conditions; as long as the boss of the Administration Department nods, he can appoint anyone he deems suitable to serve as a New Territories Justice of the Peace.

“Mr. Ni, please continue to contribute your strength to Huigang in the future.”

Alston stood up and reached out to Ni Yongyao with a smile on his face.
