Chapter 107: 104 Guan Zu: All you councilors are trash!
"The government is impossible to grant you so much money."
Cao Chali shouted triumphantly.
Other councilors nodded one after another. They knew the difficulty of government funding; it was simply like an iron rooster that wouldn't shed a single feather.
Among them, quite a few councilors were proposing motions actually aimed at getting money.
Consequently, they all suspected whether Guan Zu was also trying to do this, aiming to embezzle government funds.
"Government funding?"
Guan Zu laughed.
"No, I don't need government funding."
"Hahaha~~ You don't need it?"
Cao Chali was amused by Guan Zu and couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Young man, you shouldn't brag. Without government funding, how are you going to do it? Renting space for this school and hiring teachers all cost money; you can't just do it with your mouth."
"That's just what you think is impossible." Guan Zu said lightly, "My people in Causeway Bay are all enthusiastic about doing good deeds. Believe it or not, if I promote it, in one day, the neighbors in Causeway Bay can easily raise 1 million Hong Kong dollars!"
Regarding the support rate of the neighbors, Guan Zu could very boldly say:
All of you here are trash!
These councilors were indeed trash. With tens of thousands of people, they only got 800 to 1000-plus votes, which shows how poor their grassroots foundation was.
Do you even understand grassroots foundation?
"Impossible!"
Cao Chali shouted loudly, "Absolutely impossible! 1 million, with 30,000 to 40,000 people in Causeway Bay, that means most people would have to donate over 100 Hong Kong dollars to reach that amount."
"If you can really raise that much money, I'll eat this table!"
Guan Zu's eyes lit up: "Are you serious?"
Cao Chali regretted it as soon as he finished speaking, but now he couldn't back down directly, after all, there was a TVB camera crew recording behind him.
He could only firmly shout: "Serious! If you can really raise 1 million, I'll eat the table directly!"
Guan Zu was overjoyed: "Good! It's a deal!"
Cao Chali: "What if you don't reach it?"
Guan Zu slapped the table: "If you can't raise 1 million, I'll eat the table!"
Cao Chali slapped the table: "Good! It's a deal!"
He sneered in his heart. Even if I have a reputation in Cannon Street, if I really asked those neighbors to donate money, I'd probably be scolded to death!
I just don't believe you, Guan Zu, can do it!
Guan Zu smiled: "A gentleman's word is his bond!"
He sneered in his heart: A frog in a well. How can you trash compare to my Causeway Bay?
As for not eating the table?
First of all, Cao Chali is a councilor and a public figure, a public servant. If he goes back on his word, he will be spurned, and then who will trust him?
And if he really doesn't eat the table, do you think I, Guan Zu, am a great philanthropist?
Naturally, there are plenty of ways to punish this Cao Chali!
At this moment, as the bet was established, all the councilors became excited.
"Good!"
"This is going to be lively!"
"When does the fundraising start? I want to see it."
"That Guan Zu will definitely lose. It's not that easy to raise 1 million."
"Exactly, if we dared to talk about fundraising, I guess not many people would care."
These councilors were all useless; they were bad at getting things done but very active in eating melons.
And the reporter Le Huizhen, along with the fat cameraman, became excited at this moment.
From being listless, they became spirited!
Finally, there was news!
After being bored for over an hour, a sensational piece of news finally came out.
Cao Chali sneered: "Since that's the case, how about fundraising the day after tomorrow? I'll give you one day to promote it tomorrow."
Guan Zu nodded: "No problem."
Cao Chali smiled and looked at the beautiful reporter Le Huizhen: "This reporter lady, TVB shouldn't miss this news, right? Perhaps you need your reporters to supervise it on the side."
Le Huizhen patted her chest: "For this kind of news, it's naturally impossible for us at TVB to miss it!"
District Council Chairman Diao wanted to stop Guan Zu's "risky" behavior, but it was too late to stop it.
"Ah Zu, is there any problem?"
"Don't worry, no problem. Thank you for your concern, Diao Sir... However, please help me call the Social Welfare Department; the donation matter still needs them to be present for supervision."
Diao nodded: "Don't worry, I'll go say hello."
As the District Council Chairman, he dealt with the Social Welfare Department a lot in this regard and had a good relationship with them.
"Thank you, Diao Sir." Guan Zu thanked him.
He looked at that Cao Chali.
This Cao Chali is really a bit annoying, just as annoying as the Cao Chali who was Zhu Tao's subordinate... No, it's the same actor playing the same role.
No way, I have to find an opportunity to put a sack over him and beat him up, otherwise, I won't feel good.
The first plenary session of the District Council officially ended.
Guan Zu made all the councilors remember him with an unexpected and prominent approach.
It can be said that he was in the spotlight; some were jealous, some were unhappy, and some were curious.
Guan Zu walked out of the government building with an upright air, with an extra badge on his chest—Guan Zu, Councilor.
Awesome!
From today on, I am also a person with official government credentials!
He got into the car and returned to the boxing gym.
Back at the gym, Guan Zu called Ah Wah over: "The day after tomorrow, I want to organize a community fundraising..."
Guan Zu explained the matter.
"This matter mainly benefits Causeway Bay, and the schools will be set up in Causeway Bay. Let those neighbors support it more, and limit it to a maximum donation of 200 Hong Kong dollars per person. Don't donate too much."
Ah Wah nodded: "Okay, I'll go make a flyer right now. It should be printed by tomorrow, and one day is enough to distribute it to every household."
Guan Zu: "That's a good idea."
Two hours later, in the evening, TVB News reported the events that happened at the first plenary session of the Hong Kong District Council in a 30-second news segment.
Other councilors were just flashed by, and most of the footage was given to Guan Zu and Cao Chali.
The news focused on the bet.
Even the matter of the extracurricular tutoring schools became unimportant.
It immediately aroused the curiosity of many citizens.
However, this news was soon replaced by another piece of news, diverting their attention.
"Today, the Tsukamoto Group held a press conference, claiming that the events of several decades ago were groundless and that the Tsukamoto family has always had very deep feelings for Hong Kong and would absolutely not do such a thing..."
"At the same time, they filed a criminal lawsuit against the elderly person who attacked the Tsukamoto Group last time, demanding that the court give the elderly person severe punishment, even a fixed-term imprisonment."
Many young people didn't feel much, after all, the history books they read were deliberately castrated, and their hatred for the devils wasn't very deep.
The only thing that made them disgusted was, how could this little devil be so ruthless to those elderly people? They even wanted to put the elderly in jail?
And those elderly people were furious after seeing it, cursing the Tsukamoto Group, and even preparing to organize a protest at the Tsukamoto Group tomorrow and sit in.
At the boxing gym.
Guan Zu and Xiao Fu were watching this news.
Guan Zu mocked: "This devil is deliberately trying to stir up hatred and lure you into taking action."
"He thinks that by setting a trap, he can trick you, but he doesn't know that there are our people in this trap!"
"Hahaha~~~ Hehehe~~~"
Both of them smiled pervertedly again.
At the same time, Hong Kong District Police Headquarters.
Anti-Triad Unit Chief Inspector Xian was watching Guan Zu's news.
"It's him again..."
Guan Zu had been quite prominent recently, becoming a councilor.
This person has a problem!
Clearly a gangster, why can he be a councilor?
Clearly a gangster, why would he run schools and orphanages?
It violates logic!
But Chief Inspector Xian couldn't figure out where the problem was.
Chief Inspector Xian thought of Laughing. Yesterday at the police academy, he was recruiting undercover agents and saw at a glance that this Laughing had a gangster-like air, very suitable for being an undercover agent.
So he recruited him.
Originally, he wanted to arrange for him to go to the Zhengxing Society's Brother Yi (played by Anthony Wong), but now seeing Guan Zu so prominent, he changed his mind.
Let Laughing go to Guan Zu's side first. Even if Guan Zu is finally proven clean, he can let Laughing transfer to Brother Yi's side later, which can also be considered as completing a gilding process under Guan Zu of the Hung Hing Society.
"Hmm... This idea is not bad!"
So,
He called Laughing: "21:00 tonight, let's have a late-night snack together."
Laughing: "Okay." After hanging up the phone, another call came in.
It was from Huang Bingyao.
"Anti-Triad Unit, Major Crimes Unit, everyone assemble immediately!"
Chief Inspector Xian was stunned for a moment.
What operation?
So sudden?
Chief Inspector Xian could only apologize to Laughing on the phone: "It might be delayed by a few hours..."
Soon,
The Hong Kong District Police's Major Crimes and Anti-Triad units began to take action, joining forces with Tsukamoto Eiji to prepare a trap to lure the Angel of Death to appear.
Of course, ordinary police officers didn't know who the opponent they were facing was, just following orders.
20:00, Tsukamoto Eiji went all out, with 3 cars heading to a remote private restaurant in the Islands District—Wa Izakaya.
The Islands District is a place even more remote than the New Territories North, with few residents and many wilderness forests.
!.
If police officers are assigned here, it's called "exile" or "demotion."
All along, to avoid the pursuit of the Angel of Death, Tsukamoto Eiji had been hiding in the Tsukamoto Building, and when he went out, he went to places with many people, with a bunch of bodyguards.
Now he went directly to a remote place; he didn't believe the Angel of Death wouldn't take the bait.
If it doesn't work today, he'll continue to come tomorrow!
Wa Izakaya.
This is a detached wooden house by the sea, with beautiful scenery, although you couldn't see any beautiful scenery in the night.
At this time,
Inside the izakaya, 3 kimono-clad women were dancing gracefully.
Tsukamoto Eiji was sitting alone on the tatami, drinking, while holding the kimono-clad woman next to him.
A sinister look appeared on his face.
"This time!"
"I don't believe the Angel of Death won't take the bait!"
To prepare for tonight's ambush, he specifically held a press conference today to stir up hatred, and then chose this remote place...
This time, as long as the Angel of Death appears, he is definitely dead!
And at this time, outside the izakaya, the Hong Kong District Police's Anti-Triad and Major Crimes units were ambushing everywhere...
Each one was feeding the mosquitoes.
In a car far away, Huang Bingyao cursed at Chen Guozhong: "These Japanese trash, I don't know how much money they took from this Tsukamoto, making us come here to feed mosquitoes."
Huang Bingyao also hated the Japanese devils. Putting aside hatred, these devils are arrogant, self-important, and look at people with their nostrils.
Who is Huang Bingyao?
He made a name for himself with the "Deadly Scissor Kick" when he was young, and his promotion in the police force was super fast. Now he is already a Chief Superintendent, naturally a proud person.
So he couldn't stand Tsukamoto Eiji at all.
If there was a chance, he would definitely use the Deadly Scissor Kick to crush Tsukamoto Eiji's head!
Chen Guozhong shrugged: "There's no way, although they are devils... However, Chief, I think we should withdraw from this matter. If the Angel of Death really comes and kills Tsukamoto Eiji, we will be in big trouble."
Huang Bingyao nodded: "You have a point. This Angel of Death is elusive and hasn't been caught yet. There must be an intelligence organization. Although our ambush this time is completely confidential, it's hard to guarantee it won't be discovered by him."
Chen Guozhong had a strange smile.
You wouldn't think that I, the one in front of you, am the Angel of Death. What completely confidential, it's completely leaking everything.
Hehehe~~~~
The smile gradually became perverted.
And at this time, outside the car, in the grass.
Chief Inspector Xian was sitting on a rock, speechlessly slapping a mosquito to death.
Family members, who understands!
Chief Huang and Chen Guozhong are comfortable in the car, but I have to squat in the grass to feed mosquitoes.
This Tsukamoto Eiji really deserves to die!
How much money did he give those trash devils to make us cooperate with him like this?
Next,
Waiting and waiting...
One hour...
Two hours...
The Angel of Death was nowhere to be seen, making many police officers feel restless. They are not special forces, and they don't have the training to squat in the grass for several hours without moving.
Ten thousand a month, what are they risking their lives for?
Three hours...
Tsukamoto Eiji was also a bit impatient. Originally pretending to drink, he was now a bit drunk.
Why hasn't the Angel of Death come yet?
Four hours...
Tsukamoto Eiji didn't wait anymore and got up to leave.
He knew the Angel of Death was not an ordinary killer, so he had enough patience.
If it doesn't work today, he'll continue to come tomorrow!
"Go!"
Tsukamoto Eiji got up, and several bodyguards from the next room walked in to escort Tsukamoto Eiji away.
And the police force also withdrew one after another.
"These Japanese trash, they made me get bitten by mosquitoes all night."
"Look at me, I have several bumps from bites."
"I just saw a snake crawl past me..."
Every police officer was very unhappy.
This is not all,
Because they still have a mission, which is to continue tracking and protecting Tsukamoto Eiji until Tsukamoto Eiji returns to the Tsukamoto Building, then they can get off work.
24:00.
A quiet bar in Mong Kok. The bar is not big, long and deep, the music is soft, and the lighting is dim.
Chief Inspector Xian walked in, scanned the room, and saw Laughing sitting in the dark at a glance. He couldn't see his face clearly, but he could tell by his temperament.
"Sorry, I'm late." Chief Inspector Xian said.
"I've been waiting for you for 3 hours." Laughing said dissatisfiedly.
Chief Inspector Xian: "Today there was a sudden secret mission. Look at me, I fed mosquitoes for 4 hours..."
He even gestured to the dense red bumps on his face bitten by mosquitoes.
Laughing was surprised: "What kind of mission, that even you couldn't know in advance?"
Chief Inspector Xian didn't have any good feelings for this Japanese devil Tsukamoto anyway, so he didn't mean to keep it secret at all and told the whole story.
Laughing looked at Chief Inspector Xian with sympathy.
It seems that he wasn't as miserable as Chief Inspector Xian, even though he waited in this bar.
"Okay, now let's talk about business."
Chief Inspector Xian began to be serious.
"Your undercover target is out."
Chief Inspector Xian took out a photo and put it in front of Laughing.
A big handsome guy!
Guan Zu!
Laughing recognized Guan Zu at a glance: "It's him? He's a councilor now, right? Does he still need me to go undercover?"
Chief Inspector Xian said: "Originally, I wanted you to go undercover with Brother Yi of the Zhengxing Society, but now this Guan Zu is too prominent, so you go undercover under him. If he is indeed clean, it won't be too late for you to transfer to the Zhengxing Society."
Chief Inspector Xian didn't notice that when Laughing heard the name Brother Yi, he wiped his sweat subconsciously.
Damn, it's a good thing I didn't go undercover with Brother Yi.
Because—Laughing was originally an undercover agent sent by Brother Yi to the police force!
Originally, Laughing was just an ordinary convenience store clerk. One day, he encountered two small gangsters rushing in with knives to rob, and then Brother Yi rushed in and scared the small gangsters away. This kind of dominance made Laughing admire him, and then he joined Brother Yi's side.
Then Brother Yi told Laughing: He was originally a police undercover agent, later encountered betrayal of brothers, unfair treatment after returning to the police force, and then resigned to become a black boss again... Then he sent Laughing to take the police academy exam, and as a result, he was discovered by Chief Inspector Xian at the police academy.
Chief Inspector Xian didn't know Laughing's inner activities and took out another photo.
"This person is Wu Ying."
"A person under Guan Zu specifically responsible for recruiting talent for Guan Zu."
"Chen Yongren, Su Jianqiu, Gao Qiu, Billy... these four people were all recruited by him. Now Chen Yongren is a principal, Su Jianqiu is an orphanage director, Gao Qiu is a senior executive in the property company, and they are all doing very well... Billy has resigned, but he was also reused!"
"From this, it can be seen that this Wu Ying really has an eye for talent."
Chief Inspector Xian urged Laughing: "If you want to rise, it's best to join through this Wu Ying."
Laughing looked at Wu Ying's photo a few more times. For some reason, he always felt—
This guy looks more like a clown, right?!
Note: The word "Laughing" counts as one character in Qidian and doesn't count as padding the word count~~~~
