Chapter 122: 118 Guan Zu is a big mouth, all of Causeway Bay knows Gao Jin is in love

~17 min read 3,380 words

"Fly, tell you some news, don't tell anyone else, okay... Ah Jin is dating..."

"Ah Ren..."

Guan Zu was so excited by the gossip that he called almost everyone.

"Hahaha~~"

Who could understand the joy of this kind of gossip.

By the way, how could he leave out Brother Hao. Brother Hao was actually already spending half his time helping Guan Zu, sorting out the management systems of major companies, and the results were very obvious.

He could be considered one of his own.

"Brother Hao, tell you some news, Ah Jin is dating."

"Ah? He also dates?"

"Exactly, that's why it's so magical."

"That's rare, who is the other party?"

"Hehe, a police beauty."

"Wow, awesome!"

Exclamations came from the other end of Brother Hao’s phone.

……

On Gao Jin’s side, he was still chatting with Wei Yingzi in the hospital, and the more they talked, the more they hit it off.

He didn't even want to leave.

Even his usually cold face had a bit of imperceptible tenderness.

Buzz buzz buzz~~

Gao Jin’s phone vibrated.

"Sorry, I have something to do, I have to go." Gao Jin said goodbye to Wei Yingzi.

"Okay, thank you for coming, Mr. Gao." Wei Yingzi said happily.

Gao Jin

Fly called, very excitedly: "Brother Jin, are you dating?"

"Ah??"

Gao Jin’s cold face froze for a moment.

"I'm not, who did you hear that from?"

"Brother Zu, Brother Zu said you were in the hospital..."

Gao Jin immediately had black lines hanging from his forehead.

Sure enough, his intuition just now was correct; the person peeping just now was Brother Zu.

No, you're a boss, why do you like gossiping so much?

"I’m telling you very solemnly, I am not!"

"Oh, really? I don't believe it!"

"…………"

Gao Jin was so angry he hung up the phone directly.

Buzz buzz buzz~~~

Another call came in.

"Hello, Ah Hua..."

"Ah Jin, you're dating? Congratulations, congratulations!"

"…………"

Gao Jin had 2 more black lines on his forehead.

Buzz buzz buzz~~~~ Ah Ren: "Brother Jin, heard you're dating..."

Buzz buzz buzz~~~ Gao Qiu: "Brother Jin, Brother Zu said..."

Buzz buzz buzz~~~

Gao Jin was completely speechless.

Brother Zu, this mouth is really big, it’s a loudspeaker; how long has it been and it’s already spread everywhere?

And, I’m really not dating!

Gao Jin felt very wronged!

……

……

A new day,

It had already spread everywhere at the boxing gym.

"No way? Brother Jin also dates?"

"Is it true?"

"Can this be fake? Brother Zu saw it with his own eyes, saw Brother Jin kissing his girlfriend on the street."

"Ah? I can't imagine that scene at all."

"Yeah, Brother Jin is so cold, I thought he didn't date, let alone kiss on the street."

Guan Zu arrived early in the morning and saw his underlings discussing it excitedly and heatedly, and was directly stunned.

No way?

Which big mouth said that?

Didn't I say don't tell anyone else?!

At this time, Fly walked in.

Guan Zu grabbed him directly: "Fly, was it you who spread it? How come everyone knows Ah Jin is dating?"

Fly pointed at Guan Zu with an expressionless face.

Guan Zu was immediately dissatisfied: "Hey, don't point at people randomly, it definitely wasn't me, I didn't talk nonsense!"

Then he heard the underlings saying that Gao Jin and his girlfriend were kissing on the street.

Guan Zu was stunned on the spot.

No way, how did it get more and more outrageous as it spread?

Damn, should I hide for a while, otherwise if I get a 'White Ape Offering Fruit' from Gao Jin, I'm done for.

It’s all Ah Hua and the others' fault for not being loyal; they promised not to tell anyone, but after just one night, everyone knew.

Their mouths are too big!

Soon,

The news spread like crazy throughout Causeway Bay.

Many neighbors couldn't help but be curious.

"Yo, Ah Jin is dating too? He’s so cold~~~"

"Dating is good, he’s so cold, he should find a girlfriend~~~"

The aunts and uncles started gossiping one by one.

"Who is his girlfriend?"

"Don't know."

"Hey, don't say, yesterday I saw Ah Jin at Mingxin Hospital carrying a fruit basket to see a patient, but I didn't notice who it was."

……

New Territories, Yuen Long.

Garment factory.

Gao Jin arrived here early, sat in the general manager’s office, and started handling company affairs.

Currently, "New World" had basically finished filming, and with editing and such, it was expected to be released in half a month.

And the suits had already been stocked in 6 styles, 18 colors, totaling 200,000 sets.

Because he didn't know how many sets the advertising model of "New World" could sell, Gao Jin was still conservative in production.

Noon,

Lunch time.

A large number of employees came to the canteen to eat.

Among them were many employees from Causeway Bay, who were better informed.

"Have you heard? General Manager Gao is dating."

"Ah? General Manager Gao is so cold..."

Soon, the whole canteen was buzzing and lively.

At this time,

Gao Jin arrived at the company canteen.

The whole place went quiet quickly, and everyone lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

General Manager Gao was just too cold, and his aura was too strong, scaring people to death.

Gao Jin ordered some food, ate it all without leaving anything, and then returned to the office to continue working.

Just after he left,

The canteen became lively again.

"God, General Manager Gao is just too cold!"

"I feel like the temperature dropped by several degrees!"

"It's hard to believe he would date..."

And all of this, Gao Jin was kept in the dark, never expecting the news to have already spread to the New Territories.

……

……

And at this time,

Kai Tak Airport,

A plane swooped down and finally landed.

Not long after, in the waiting hall, Guan Zu saw Ruan Mei walking out from the passage with Zhang Yixin from a distance.

Across more than twenty meters,

Ruan Mei saw Guan Zu in the crowd at a glance, and was so excited that she threw down her suitcase and flew over.

"Brother Zu!!"

Like a swallow returning to the forest, she threw herself into Guan Zu’s arms.

Guan Zu felt a wave of warmth and softness, the familiar fragrance came from her hair, along with her familiar soft body; at this moment, he felt very satisfied.

Guan Zu said happily: "You’re finally back."

Ruan Mei jumped happily and hugged Guan Zu’s neck tightly: "Yeah, I missed you so much, super super missed you~~~"

After the surgery, the heart problem was solved, and Ruan Mei became different, more lively and confident.

The love for Guan Zu that had been suppressed burst out, and she couldn't wait to do everything she had planned to do for Guan Zu.

Make nutritionally balanced meals for him every day...

Create surprises for him, homemade romantic dinners, send him little gifts for men, make life full of freshness...

Encourage his career goals and dreams, and stand by his side even when encountering difficulties...

Help him organize his clothes, tidy up everything at home, and let him feel that the home environment is comfortable and orderly...

Get along with his brothers and support their brotherhood...

Be his listener, whether sharing the joy of his success or accompanying him in his low points, be the little woman behind him supporting him............

While hospitalized in the US, she had already started counting these on her fingers.

By the way!

Heard that there was a little vixen around Brother Zu in the last few days.

Ruan Mei’s eyes started scanning the whole place to see if she could find her, but... naturally, she didn't find anyone.

Hmph, count yourself lucky!

After hugging for more than a minute, the two finally reluctantly separated.

Ah Xing quickly said: "Sister-in-law."

Ruan Mei smiled: "Ah Xing, thank you for coming to pick us up."

Zhang Yixin was sour on the side: "Oh my, let's go quickly~~~ I need to get over my jet lag, I'm so sleepy!"

Soon, the four of them left the airport, got into the blue Bentley, and passed through the Eastern Harbour Crossing.

This cross-harbour tunnel was the second cross-harbour tunnel after the Cross-Harbour Tunnel, built and opened to traffic on September 21, 1989. The cross-harbour tunnel was 2.2 kilometers long, crossing Quarry Bay on Hong Kong Island and Cha Kwo Ling in East Kowloon.

Soon, they returned to Causeway Bay.

Guan Zu smiled: "Grandma must miss you very much, she made you a lot of delicious food~~~"

Ruan Mei was happy: "I also miss Grandma very much."

The car arrived downstairs, and after Ruan Mei got out of the car, she walked upstairs quickly.

"Grandma, I'm back~~~"

Guan Zu watched her like that and followed with a smile.

As for the luggage?

Ah Xing was taking the suitcase out of the trunk, looked around, and happened to see Laughing just coming out of a tea restaurant after dinner.

He waved.

"Hey, Laughing, right?"

When Laughing saw Ah Xing, he ran over quickly, with a flattering smile: "Brother Xing." Ah Xing smiled kindly: "Come, help me out, carry these 2 suitcases up."

Laughing looked awkward: "…………"

It’s over, he’s been caught as a coolie.

But on second thought, this was a good opportunity to get close to Brother Zu.

So he grabbed the suitcases and went upstairs.

Ah Xing looked at Laughing’s back, gave a meaningful chuckle, and then got back into the car.

"Sister Xin, let's go, I'll take you back."

"Thank you, Ah Xing~~~"

……

At Ruan Mei’s house,

!.

"Finally back, Grandma was afraid every day that something would happen to you, now I can finally rest easy."

Grandma Cai held Ruan Mei’s hand, looking her over, and finally felt relieved.

Although this interventional surgery didn't require a knife, it still felt very dangerous.

During this time, she, an old woman at home, was worried and scared every day while calling Ruan Mei, and even had several nightmares, just afraid that something would happen to Ruan Mei.

"It's fine now, the surgery was very successful."

"Good, good, good... you must be hungry, let's eat..."

Grandma Cai went to the kitchen to serve the dishes, Ruan Mei followed, and soon all the dishes were served.

Guan Zu walked into the house at this time.

Grandma Cai was happy: "Ah Zu, come eat..."

The three of them sat down and started eating.

Ruan Mei’s ancestors must have been rich, because both Grandma Cai’s and Ruan Mei’s cooking skills were excellent. According to the plot in "The Greed of Man", Ruan Mei’s Su cuisine finally conquered Zhou Jisheng, who was always very picky about food.

This kind of thing usually requires family heritage to have such depth.

……

Afternoon,

Guan Zu finished his meal and returned to the charity foundation.

Gao Qiu had completed the investigation of Jaffe Road and Lockhart Road and reported to Guan Zu.

After listening to the report,

Gao Qiu immediately asked: "Brother Zu, there is a core question: what is our purpose in doing charity work there?"

"Is it for money?"

"Or for reputation?"

"Or to stir up conflict and expand territory?"

This question was very core and also determined what to do next.

Guan Zu said: "Naturally, it's for reputation, to gain the support of the citizens... Don't you want to turn those two streets into Causeway Bay, supporting us? This is my goal, I want to turn these two streets into the next Causeway Bay!"

Gao Qiu nodded, although he didn't understand why Guan Zu was so obsessed with doing this!

However, Gao Qiu was still very happy to do charity work.

"Since that's the case, we can do three things..."

Gao Qiu stayed up until 24:00 last night and even called Billy for advice; he now had a plan:

"First, aimed at teenagers and children, reach a consensus with parents, sign a contract, and let some underlings who are literate or have a certain educational background provide after-school tutoring for children in the community to help them improve their academic performance."

"Second, help the elderly, provide daily help for elderly people living alone or residents with limited mobility in the community, such as shopping, carrying heavy objects, or simple home repairs. We are very familiar with this in Causeway Bay, so we should be able to do it."

"Third, promote reading, set up a simple community reading corner, collect old books or donate new books, and encourage residents to read to improve the community’s cultural atmosphere."

"All of these will be done in the name of the Five-Star Charity Foundation!"

After Gao Qiu finished speaking, he asked: "Brother Zu, what do you think?"

Guan Zu nodded: "I think it's good, let's do it, directly pull people from Causeway Bay to station in Jaffe Road and Lockhart Road."

"As for people like Chui Gai, Old Pan, and Piao Ge, if they have any opinions, I'll handle them!"

With Guan Zu’s current status, he no longer needed to worry about these people.

Gao Qiu: "Good, I'll gather people now and start acting!"

Just as he was about to leave,

Guan Zu suddenly asked: "By the way, what about that injured person?"

Gao Qiu replied: "He has woken up, but he has lost his memory. As for the reason for the amnesia, the doctor said he has a bruise on his brain, which might be pressing on the neurons, causing amnesia. He might need surgery, and the surgery fee is 200,000. If he doesn't have this surgery, it's not impossible."

Guan Zu nodded: "Then let's not do it for now..."

Doing the surgery would at most gain Gao Jin’s gratitude for saving his life.

But if he didn't do the surgery, he could gain the gratitude for saving his life + the bond of friendship.

As for who would bond with the God of Gamblers Gao Jin...

Guan Zu thought about it, and decided to find the silly and cute Fly.

Guan Zu said to Gao Qiu: "You go ahead and get busy with Jaffe Road and Lockhart Road, and leave this person to Fly."

Gao Qiu was surprised: "Just find anyone to do it, right?"

Guan Zu shook his head: "No, this person is quite important, let Fly do it himself."

It wasn't to let Fly learn gambling skills from Gao Jin, but to build a bond. As for Gao Jin’s gambling skills, only a gambler would learn them, and Guan Zu didn't want his brothers to get involved in gambling.

Guan Zu found that Fly, although silly and cute, was very sincere to his subordinates and easily gained people’s favor.

Gao Qiu nodded.

Soon, Fly was summoned to the office by a phone call from Guan Zu, and Guan Zu told him about Gao Jin.

"Why do I have to take care of him?"

Fly looked surprised, "Is he an undercover too?"

He had developed a conditioned reflex now.

Guan Zu was speechless.

He patted Fly on the shoulder and said: "Don't be silly, there aren't that many undercovers. I think with your superb eye for people, you will definitely be able to discover that this person is extraordinary."

"Alright."

Fly agreed. Since Brother Zu requested it, he would reluctantly do it.

Don't look at Brother Zu’s various strange operations, but in the end, he could always prove he was right.

Soon,

Fly arrived at the neurology ward of Mingxin Hospital and, under the guidance of the nurse, arrived at Gao Jin’s ward.

Then,

"Wuwuwu~~~"

Fly saw Gao Jin with his head wrapped in gauze, hugging an old lady’s leg, crying like a child and demanding food.

Fly: "Huh???"

This guy, could he be an idiot?

……

……

A new day,

David, an underling of Wei Jixiang, received a notice from above today to go to Lockhart Road for charity activities. (Movie "Dragon in the Edge")

And David’s task was to set up a temporary library at Lockhart Square.

Gao Qiu had already contacted the government and the Social Welfare Department for this square, and designated a public area specifically for a mobile book stall.

David, who received this task, was a bit speechless.

Because he was a police undercover.

He had been undercover under Dao Ba Quan, who was under Wei Jixiang, for a year.

But he hadn't obtained any valuable intelligence, so he couldn't go back.

Not long after, the entire Hong Tai was taken down, and Wei Jixiang was safe and sound.

David had originally prepared to return to the police force, but his superior did not approve. Instead, he was told to continue following Wei Jixiang and, while he was at it, keep an eye on Guan Zu, so he ended up drifting over to Causeway Bay.

So, today David became a glorious charity volunteer.

This was even more positive than the police force!

David really wanted to shout: "Family, who understands this~~~"

David was busy calling his underlings to set up a 300-square-meter sunshade tent, covering half the square, while ordering another group of underlings to take flyers and go door-to-door to do publicity.

First, promote Brother Zu’s good deeds.

Second, promote that there are books to read at Lockhart Square.

Third, see whose family has books they don't want, donate them, and provide them for other neighbors to read.

The underlings were sent out one after another.

And on the book square side, David and 5 underlings were setting up tables, chairs, and organizing hundreds of books they bought, covering encyclopedias, chess, world classics, and comics, covering all age groups.

"Everyone passing by... come and see~~ there are many books here, free to watch..."

"All kinds of books..."

"All free to read, no money needed..."

"This is an activity organized by the Five-Star Charity Foundation, and we will be setting up a book stall here for the next month..."

"We will also build an indoor library here in the future..."

"There is also water, if you are thirsty, you can come and drink..."

David shouted while wiping sweat.

And his underlings were also busy. Several of them came from Wong Tai Sin and used to fight with knives, but now letting them do this, they were more or less... well, unaccustomed.

We are the ones with knives!

Why let us do charity?

However, they were all very active in their work because they had wages, bonuses, and mandatory provident funds, which was much better than the days in Wong Tai Sin when they were hungry three days out of nine.

With their shouts, many neighbors soon walked over.

There were elderly people,

Parents with children,

And some middle-aged people walked over curiously.

……

And on Guan Zu’s side,

He had already received a system prompt.

"Your temporary charity library has officially opened..."

"Reward 1: Maintain it for one month, you will gain 2% support rate from the neighbors of Lockhart Road! (Because the effect is not good, the reward will not be too much)"

Guan Zu: "…………"

So little?

"Reward 2: Good deeds will not be betrayed; you have received 200,000 HKD in funding! (Legal donation)"

This reward is not bad.

……

On the book stall side,

After about an hour,

The book stall was already crowded with people, 60% were parents with children, 30% were elderly, especially chess manuals were very popular...

Not long after,

The liveliness of this place attracted the attention of Brother Nineteen.

He asked around, but none of his underlings knew about this thing.

He was furious!

"Damn it!"

"Daring to set up a stall on my territory without notifying me!"

Brother Nineteen didn't say a word, took a large group of underlings, rode a Dian Wei... no, sat in a van and rushed over.

Screech——————

The van stopped in front of the square book stall.

Clatter~~~~

Brother Nineteen brought a group of underlings and swarmed down.

Knives, guns, sticks~~~

Aggressive~~~

"Bang~~~"

As soon as Brother Nineteen entered, he knocked on the table fiercely, scaring a group of parents, children, and elderly people to retreat one after another.

"Damn it!"

"Who are you?"

"Do you know this is Brother Nineteen’s territory!"

"Daring to set up a stall here without paying protection money!"
