Chapter 110: 107 All Hong Kong Councilors: I can do it too!

In a flash, 2 hours passed,

Noon 12 o'clock,

TVB's noon news officially started.

"Dear citizens, hello..."

Lok Wai-ching was in front of the camera, with Causeway Bay Park behind her.

"The time is now 11:20, I am at the fundraising scene in Causeway Bay Park..."

"According to the statistics of our TV station staff, more than 3,300 citizens have already donated, basically everyone donated 200 yuan..."

"That is to say, as of 11:20, 660,000 Hong Kong dollars have already been raised. There are still 9 and a half hours until the fundraising ends in the evening..."

"So can they raise 1 million? Who will eat the table? Please look forward to the evening news!"

The TVB news department was very cunning, not publicizing Guan Zu's 200 Hong Kong dollar donation limit, just to make the bet seem more suspenseful.

Many citizens became interested after watching this news.

"There's still 340,000, it looks like that Councilor Guan should win."

"Not necessarily, the most donations must be in the morning, it will slow down later."

"But there's a problem, how do you eat this table?"

"I have a good method... use a meat grinder, break the table into pieces, and grind it into powder!"

"!!!"

East Kowloon, a certain home appliance manufacturing factory, boss Lei Youcai was troubled about how to advertise the meat grinder produced in his factory. (I Am a Thief)

Then...

Saw this news, Lei Youcai's eyes lit up instantly.

"That's right, isn't this the best advertising method?"

Immediately called the driver, prepared the car, he had to rush to the scene to talk about cooperation!

20 minutes later,

Lei Youcai brought 10 home meat grinders, arrived in Causeway Bay by car, and arrived at Causeway Bay Park.

Tai Bao saw the Mercedes-Benz, a luxury car worth millions, and rushed over: "This gentleman, wow, your car is very beautiful, do you need me to help park it?"

Lei Youcai threw 100 to Tai Bao directly, took his secretary and driver, and walked into the park.

He knew these parking guys were local snakes, money still had to be given.

Walking into the park, he saw the donation location at a glance, as well as the TVB reporter and camera.

Lei Youcai straightened his suit and tie and walked over.

Took out 10,000, preparing to stuff it in.

"Wait..."

Guan Zu reached out to block: "This gentleman, at most 200 is enough."

"Hahaha~~~ This should be Councilor Guan, truly a young hero!" Lei Youcai shook hands with Guan Zu enthusiastically, "Councilor Guan, I am Lei Youcai, boss of Lei Tiger Electrical Company, I like doing good deeds the most... This 10,000 is my heart."

Lei Youcai?

Guan Zu felt familiar when he heard it, then sized up this boss, and looked at the person behind Lei Youcai. Isn't this Ren Dahua? Could it be that Gao Tianli?

Guan Zu smiled: "Since that's the case, then thank you, Boss Lei."

Cao Chali, who had been afraid of exceeding 1 million, shouted loudly: "No, this is cheating! This 10,000 doesn't count! Don't forget you said it was donations from neighbors!"

"Look, you're anxious again."

Guan Zu said indifferently: "Fine, this 10,000 doesn't count."

Anyway, raising 1 million in donations would be very easy, not lacking this 10,000 at all.

I don't know if it was because of finishing lunch, but the people coming to donate ushered in a peak again.

One after another, groups after groups of neighbors kept pouring into the park, fat aunts, big-bellied uncles, grandmothers, grandfathers, and quite a few young people...

"Ah Zu, we are here to support you!" A grandmother shook Guan Zu's hand.

"Thank you!"

"Brother Zu, thank you for your funding, I finally graduated successfully and joined a good company... This is my first month's salary..." A young man of twenty-four or twenty-five said gratefully.

"Thank you!"

Neighbors donated money one after another.

All were 200, didn't see any 100s.

And the queue had become a long dragon, at least 200 people, and more neighbors could be seen pouring in from outside.

Cao Chali felt more and more that something was wrong.

It's over.

This time I'm afraid I'm going to lose.

Can I sneak away?

Thinking of this, Cao Chali lowered his head, turned around, and prepared to sneak away, but bang~~ bumped into a human wall.

Wu Ying led Laughing and others, in a row, looking at Cao Chali playfully.

"What? Councilor Cao wants to run?"

Lok Wai-ching's news radar stood up instantly, and her gaze looked over.

Camera aimed.

"Councilor Cao, you wouldn't want to run, would you?"

Cao Chali wiped his sweat: "No, no, I just have to pee."

Wu Ying laughed: "Have to pee, you went to the bathroom half an hour ago, didn't you pee?"

Cao Chali quickly defended: "I was pooping at that time, didn't pee."

"Hahaha~~~"

Everyone laughed: "Who poops without peeing?"

Lok Wai-ching also laughed, but soon realized something and quickly covered her mouth.

Cao Chali: "......"

Wanted to slap himself.

At this time, the staff from the Social Welfare Department had already started counting the banknotes.

Banknotes were stacked neatly and sent into the money counting machine, the machine wheels kept spinning swish swish swish~~~.

The numbers kept jumping.

More than 40 minutes later, the staff handed the paper with the numbers written on it to the leader of the Social Welfare Department.

The whole audience looked over.

The leader of the Social Welfare Department passed the note to the Education Department, and then it was passed to Guan Zu.

"Everyone!"

Guan Zu looked at the note in his hand, revealed a smile, and said loudly,

"Thank you for the donation support from all the neighbors!"

"As of now, the total donation is..."

All the neighbors and onlookers like Song Zihao all stretched their necks.

"1.0353 million!"

"Wow~~~~" At this moment, the whole audience cheered.

"It's over!" Cao Chali's eyes went black, his legs went soft.

"Everyone quiet down..."

Guan Zu pressed his hands down.

All the neighbors quieted down.

"I believe everyone is looking forward to how one person eats a table... Let's pause the donation, let's watch the table-eating first..."

"Someone, invite Councilor Cao Chali!"

All the neighbors, the Social Welfare Department, and the Education Department laughed loudly.

Made a path.

Then Laughing and another underling 'escorted' Cao Chali to the front of everyone.

Seeing the TV station camera aimed at himself, Laughing thought: "%&￥#￥%......"

It's over, this time I'm going to be on TV too.

I'm just an undercover agent, hey!

Guan Zu patted Cao Chali on the shoulder and laughed loudly,

"Come..."

"Bring the table for our Councilor Cao!"

Then,

Clang~~~

Several underlings carried a natural wood-colored table and placed it in front of Cao Chali.

Guan Zu explained intimately: "Councilor Cao, this table was borrowed from the District Council... It's the very table you sat at."

Cao Chali's face turned green, still wanting to struggle: "I can't bite this table."

"Hey... Councilor Cao, you're not right." Guan Zu criticized: "As public officials and representatives of public opinion, a word is a word, teeth are as good as gold, how can we be untrustworthy?"

"Don't worry, we've already prepared it for you."

"Someone!"

"Bring the meat grinder!"

At this time, Boss Lei appeared, bringing 10 meat grinders.

Just while counting the money, Boss Lei negotiated cooperation with Guan Zu: 1 million in donations, buying this advertising space.

Unpacking.

Revealed the meat grinder.

Boss Lei faced the whole audience, head held high: "Everyone, please look, this is the blade meat grinder developed by our Lei Tiger Electrical Company..."

A burst of bragging.

All the neighbors, staff, and onlookers: "............"

Clang~~~

Oh my~~~

Fell down in a large area, four feet in the air!

Damn, this works too?!

And advertising along the way?

Crying 6!

And Cao Chali almost fainted.

Then Boss Lei happily cooperated with his secretary, sawed off a pile of small pieces of wood, and put them into the meat grinder.

Power on.

Buzz buzz buzz~~

Soon, the wood pieces were broken, and then ground into particles and powder.

Cup it!

A 200ml cup, filled with wood powder.

Guan Zu placed this cup in front of Cao Chali:

"Come, drink it!"

Cao Chali was tearful.

The TVB camera lens was almost poked into his face.

Lok Wai-ching was already so excited she was about to fly!

"Eat!"

Song Zihao raised his hand and shouted, watching the fun and not afraid of big things.

Others were driven and shouted one after another.

"Eat!"

"Eat!"

The shouts shook the sky.

Seeing this scene, what else could Cao Chali do?

Could only eat it hard!

Guan Zu was right, being a councilor is a representative of public opinion, a public figure, teeth are as good as gold, otherwise which neighbor would obey him in the future?

"I want water!"

Soon, a glass of water was brought.

Next was the 10-minute difficult process of eating the table (powder), difficult swallowing, constant drinking of water... finally 'finished eating', Cao Chali held his stomach, very uncomfortable.

At this time, Guan Zu took out another cup and sent it to Cao Chali.

"Come, continue!"

Cao Chali: "............"

Song Zihao and many neighbors continued to boo:

"Eat!"

"Eat!" *n

Cao Chali was about to cry!

Guan Zu said at this time: "I won't make it difficult for you, I won't make you eat a whole table, you just need to eat 5 cups, if you don't want to eat, one cup corresponds to a donation of 200,000, you choose yourself."

Cao Chali thought about it,

Eat, definitely can't eat anymore.

Gritted his teeth.

!.

"I donate!"

"4 cups is 800,000."

"Okay!!"

Guan Zu held Cao Chali's hand tightly, very excited, and shouted: "Thank you Councilor Cao for the generous donation, let us thank him!"

"Clap clap clap~~~~~"

The whole audience applauded.

Cao Chali was tearful, I don't want to donate~~ that's 800,000! Simply vomiting blood!

He finally had to endure the pain and leave in a sorry state with the support of his subordinates.

Fundraising continued.

And at this time Lok Wai-ching had already aimed the camera at the donors.

"This grandfather, why do you want to donate?"

A grandfather: "Of course it's to support Ah Zu, after all, Ah Zu has always been good to our neighbors, he really does good deeds, I believe he will definitely do what he says."

Another grandmother said: "This time Ah Zu said he wants to set up an extracurricular tutoring school, let those kids study well, I believe him, so I support him."

There was another one from another community in Wan Chai: "I am a parent of Southeast Middle School, my child's academic performance at Southeast Middle School has improved a lot, thanks to Brother Zu, so I came here specifically to support Brother Zu this time."

One after another...

The more Lok Wai-ching interviewed, the more shocked she was.

Everyone wasn't here for the charity project, but for the trust in Guan Zu.

This Guan Zu, what kind of personality charm is this?

Actually able to make neighbors trust him so much!

One can imagine that Guan Zu must have done a lot of good deeds in the past to gain such support from the neighbors.

Lok Wai-ching couldn't help but recall the last time she interviewed Guan Zu; at that time, there was a typhoon in Hong Kong, and Guan Zu was discussing cleaning the sewers with some elderly neighbors.

This man, too manly!

Much better than those embroidered pillows chasing after me!

Lok Wai-ching couldn't help but look up at the man in front of her, confident, handsome, having a kind heart, having strength...

Counting it like this, the more she looked, the more charming he became!

Evening 19:00,

TVB news finally started broadcasting.

"Dear viewers, you are watching the TVB evening news special report."

Many citizens turned on their TVs one after another, waiting for the results of today's fundraising + table-eating.

As a result, TVB was very cunning, until 19:30, at the end of the news, the Causeway Bay fundraising news finally appeared.

"Today, we were fortunate to witness a unique fundraising event, and also saw a ridiculous 'table-eating' bet."

"Who won and who lost? I believe the citizens have already seen the answer, that's right, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the donation had already reached 1.03 million!"

"Next, everyone enjoy Councilor Cao Chali's 'table-eating' segment, he finally fulfilled his bet under the witness of everyone."

"Finally, the frontline reporter interviewed several donors. These neighbors are mostly from Causeway Bay and surrounding communities. From their words, we can see their full trust and gratitude for Councilor Guan, as well as an recognition and trust in Councilor Guan's personality charm."

"This time Councilor Guan easily raised 1 million in charity funds, I wonder if it has brought inspiration to the other 100+ councilors in Hong Kong?"

"As long as you do good deeds sincerely, you will definitely gain the support of the neighbors!"

After watching the news, the first reaction of all Hong Kong citizens was—this Councilor Guan is very powerful.

The expressions of those grandfathers and grandmothers donating money won't lie.

Based on a single proposal, he actually managed to raise 1 million in charity funds.

And it only took 6 hours to raise enough.

And those councilors in Hong Kong, after seeing the news, couldn't help but be shocked by Guan Zu's fundraising speed.

"Is fundraising so easy?"

"Should I, should I also come and do it?"

Some councilors were already eager to move.

West Kowloon.

"As long as you do good deeds sincerely, you will definitely gain the support of the neighbors!"

Mong Kok Councilor Chen Guorong watched the news, heard the last sentence, and had a flash of inspiration. (The Four Families: Dragon and Tiger Brothers)

"Can I also borrow this east wind and set up an extracurricular tutoring school?"

"Raise money from citizens?"

Councilor Chen Guorong had already been a councilor in the era of the Four Great Detectives, and now 10+ years had passed, he had served as a councilor 2 more times and had a considerable mass base in Mong Kok.

In the era of the Four Great Detectives, he embezzled a lot of money; others sent money, beauties, luxury cars, shares, he accepted them all.

Later, the ICAC was established, he hurriedly sent money to the foreigners, washed his money, and then continued to be a councilor.

When he was a councilor, he often went to initiate some proposals to embarrass some small bosses, then collected benefits from the small bosses, and then initiated some government funding, deducting a bit in the middle, making a lot of money.

Seeing Guan Zu easily get 1 million in donations this time, he suddenly became spirited.

Extracurricular tutoring school?

I can do it too!

I am also for the good of the citizens!

Can I also do fundraising? And then I embezzle a bit in the middle?

"Slap~~~"

"Do it tomorrow!"

He was excited.

On the other side,

Near the Regent Hotel, in a group of dilapidated residential buildings.

Three fierce bandits were watching the news.

"We came from Hunan just to get rich..."

"Robbing a jewelry store, need to sell the stolen goods, too troublesome."

"Those bastards, the middlemen, will only give us 30%, rob 1 million, can only earn 300,000..."

The boss, a man in a suit and glasses, pointed to the pile of banknotes in the camera on TV. (From Beijing with Love - Mall Robbers)

"Look, this pile of banknotes, 1 million+, and they are not sequential numbers."

"Location, Causeway Bay Park, very clear."

"Time, they end at 21:00 tonight, we rob in the dark."

"Money, at least over 1.5 million in cash!"

"When the time comes, we drive directly and squat outside the park, observe them, if they come out with the money box, we rush over with guns directly, hijack a few people..."

"Rob the money directly, then run directly!"

"Action ends!"

"Perfect!"

After the boss in the suit and glasses said this, the other two robbers felt it made a lot of sense.

"Boss, I'll listen to you!"

"I also think this idea is good."

The boss in the suit and glasses slapped his thigh: "Okay, then the idea is settled."

Looked at his watch,

"Now there are 2 hours and 14 minutes until 21:00, go! It's still in time to go now!"

As a result,

An underling raised his hand: "Boss, I want to eat."

The boss in the suit and glasses slapped him: "You waste, every time there's a big event you get nervous, and when you get nervous you have to eat! And you're sweating profusely, are you trying to tell others you're a bad guy?"

Underling: "............"

Boss in the suit and glasses: "Forget it, go eat..."

1 hour later,

20:04.

Three fierce bandits drove a black Santana and arrived outside the entrance of Causeway Bay Park, about 20 meters away.

At this time, there were not many people in Causeway Bay Park, so the street parking wasn't full.

The three fierce bandits found a parking meter space and parked.

This position could just see the park entrance opposite, 10 meters away, very convenient.

Tai Bao saw a car parking, laughed and ran over quickly.

"Hello~~~"

Lowered his head and bent over, greeting with a smile.

"Is it parking?"

The three fierce bandits looked at Tai Bao vigilantly, but seeing Tai Bao's rag and feather duster, they relaxed instantly.

They had been in Hong Kong for a few days, and they had also been taught the parking habits of Hong Kong.

"No need, we'll just park here and rest for a while..."

The boss in the suit and glasses smiled, his face smiling, looking very kind.

Tai Bao: "Okay, okay, sorry to bother you."

Tai Bao continued to take care of other cars; not far away, a parking meter beeped, Tai Bao hurried over to pay, and then turned the pointer back.

Until this moment, the boss in the suit and glasses withdrew his gaze and let down his guard.

What they didn't notice was that Tai Bao's back was soaked with sweat at this moment. After wiping a few more cars, he hurriedly slipped away and found a remote shop.

"Boss, lend me the phone to make a call."

"Brother Tai Bao, go ahead." The boss was already very familiar with Tai Bao.

Tai Bao hurriedly dialed Wah Dee, wiping the sweat from his forehead non-stop.

"Hey, Wah Dee! Something happened again!"

"What's wrong?"

"Where are you now?"

"Over at the park."

"That's good, hurry and tell Brother Zu, there are three guys who look like fierce bandits squatting outside the park, I think they have guns."

Tai Bao was an old hand in the underworld; don't look at his cowardice, but his experience was very rich, and he saw at a glance that those three guys had problems.
