Chapter 154: 150 Brother Zu Tears Down the Umbrella, the Students

A new day,

Tea restaurant,

"Brother Zu, morning!"

"Brother Zu, you're awesome!"

"Brother Zu, breakfast is on me today!"

Today, when Director Guan Zu and Ruan Mei came downstairs for morning tea, a bunch of people in the tea restaurant started calling out.

There are no secrets in Wan Chai.

The news of Shantou Street getting the money yesterday had spread throughout Causeway Bay after one night.

Director Guan Zu smiled and responded to each one.

Sitting down to order and drink tea,

At this time, 【TVB Morning News】 had already started broadcasting.

"Good morning, citizens of Hong Kong! Here is..."

"After seven days of intense negotiations, the highly anticipated charity assistance details between Tycoon Li and the residents of Shantou Street have finally been settled."

"What is eye-catching is that the assistance amount, or donation amount, reached 500 million HKD, far exceeding the previously estimated amount, with an average of 350,000 HKD per household."

"This huge donation has been successfully transferred to the 'Five-Star Charity Foundation' account. The foundation acted quickly and completed the transfer work to every disaster-stricken family by the afternoon."

Last night, Shantou Street was decorated with lanterns and held a grand banquet. As the leader and key figure, Councilor Director Guan Zu..."

……

Tycoon Li's villa.

The bright morning sunlight slanted through the glass windows, shining into the villa.

Tycoon Li sat on the sofa in the hall, holding a cup of hot green tea, taking a light sip to wake up his brain.

The TV screen flickered, playing TVB news, which included the report about Director Guan Zu.

In front of him lay a document.

It was some information about Director Guan Zu, especially things from the past year, very detailed.

During the councilor election, he received 10 times the votes of other councilors.

When initiating charity donations, citizens donated over 1 million in a single day.

And much, much more...

"This person has a very high reputation among ordinary citizens."

Tycoon Li hadn't seen this kind of person before.

Combined with the fact that Director Guan Zu didn't take a single cent this time.

"Could it be that this guy really wants to do good deeds?"

"Is there really such a person in the world?"

At this moment, Tycoon Li's thoughts involuntarily drifted to a passage he read recently in the "Book of Documents":

"Where the hearts of the people go, great things can be accomplished; where the hearts of the people depart, destruction is imminent."

He had glanced over it at the time, but now he didn't know why he thought of this sentence.

And this Director Guan Zu, having such a foundation of public support, was exactly the embodiment of "where the hearts of the people go" as mentioned in the "Book of Documents."

Thinking of this, Tycoon Li couldn't help but hesitate. In the absence of a direct conflict of interest, clashing with someone who gathered the hearts of the people like Director Guan Zu was really not the act of a wise man.

Thinking of this,

Tycoon Li dialed his secretary's phone: "The task I gave you, to have those departments take action, have they started yet?"

He was a person whose rationality outweighed his emotions and was never swayed by feelings. It was precisely for this reason that he was able to win in one business venture after another.

The secretary said: "Not yet, filing and approval take time... at least until tomorrow... Boss, do you want to speed it up? Can I urge them?"

"No!"

Tycoon Li said: "Cancel it... treat them to a meal and express my apologies."

"Ah???"

The secretary was dumbfounded. He asked him to take action yesterday, and changed his mind today?

"Do as I say."

"Understood, Boss."

……

……

After Director Guan Zu finished breakfast, he parted ways with Ruan Mei. Ruan Mei went to find Ah May, who had been showing no signs of labor for a week, and was preparing to go to the hospital for induction today.

At this time, Director Guan Zu didn't know Tycoon Li had called off the action; he was still prepared to stir up trouble.

Director Guan Zu arrived at the boxing gym.

"Bang bang bang~~~"

On the ring, Gao Gang was acting as a sparring partner for Ghost Eye. Under the guidance of a group of experts, Ghost Eye's strength was advancing by leaps and bounds; the only problem was that he was still young.

"Fight, fight, all you know is how to fight!"

"The new semester is starting. Later, I'll have Ah Ren give you 10 sets of homework to open your appetite."

Director Guan Zu's voice sounded from the side.

Ghost Eye, what the hell~~~

His face showed an innocent and tearful expression.

How could studying be as fun as boxing!

"Listen to my advice, you need to read more!"

After saying this, Director Guan Zu went upstairs. The clothes on his back seemed to have "Justice"... no, "Tear Down the Umbrella" engraved on them, shining brightly under the lights!

Ghost Eye: "............"

Wiping his sweat, he said to Gao Gang: "Brother Gang, again."

Gao Gang grinned: "Brother Zu is right, you need to study more... in the future, if you want to spar with me, you must complete the exercise books I buy for you... I'll go buy them later!"

Ghost Eye: "!!!"

His eyes widened in anger as he looked at Gao Gang.

You adults are too shameless! You don't like studying yourselves, yet you force us kids to do it!

Gao Gang patted Ghost Eye's head: "Kid, I'm doing this for your own good."

At this moment, on the back of Gao Gang's clothes, it seemed like two more words were added—"Tear Down the Umbrella."

Upstairs,

In Director Guan Zu's office, Su Jianqiu and Laughing had been waiting for Director Guan Zu at the door early.

"Brother Zu!"

Seeing Director Guan Zu come up, Laughing hurriedly greeted him.

Director Guan Zu looked at the two dark circles under Laughing's eyes and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Patting Laughing on the shoulder: "Ah Ren's daughter is about to be born, so you'll have to work hard during this time. But I heard you're doing well. Although your culture is a bit lacking, your work is very effective. Not bad!"

Being praised like this, Laughing couldn't help but feel happy.

"It's not hard! Brother Zu!"

Su Jianqiu on the side held back his laughter. He already knew Laughing was an undercover agent, so seeing him intentionally being burdened with so much work, he felt like he was seeing his former self being treated like a beast of burden.

Wait a minute...

As Su Jianqiu laughed, he suddenly couldn't laugh anymore.

"Alright, school starts in three days, and the opening promotion activities for the tutoring school need to start too. You two will have to work hard these two days."

Director Guan Zu patted Laughing on the shoulder: "Especially you, you're a talent. You need to take on more responsibility. In the future, I'll promote you to vice principal!"

Vice principal?

When Laughing heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but stretch to his ears.

"No problem, Brother Zu!"

A little hardship doesn't matter. I'm going to be a vice principal soon!

"Also!"

Director Guan Zu was full of righteousness, his spirit enduring!

"Give these students more exams, more practice questions!"

Su Jianqiu, Laughing: "............"

Half an hour later...

Leaving the boxing gym, they started gathering manpower to do street promotion, distribute flyers, and advertise.

……

……

Evening,

Mingxin Hospital, Obstetrics Department.

Chan Ho Nam was in the obstetrics ward, guarding the bedside, holding Ah May's hand.

Ah May had arrived at the hospital in the morning to start induction, but the frequency and amplitude of her contractions hadn't met the requirements. Finally, they started using a water bag to continue induction.

The nurse had just told him that if it didn't go smoothly, they might have to wait until midnight.

Chan Ho Nam was anxiously waiting for his daughter's birth while feeling heartache for Ah May's painful, constant contractions.

"Ring ring ring~~~~"

Chan Ho Nam's phone rang.

"Hello, who is it?"

"Ah Ren, has the niece been born yet?"

Chan Ho Nam's eyes turned cold, and he hung up the phone directly.

This was the fifth time Ni Yongxiao had called. At first, Chan Ho Nam had scolded Ni Yongxiao a few times, but later he couldn't even be bothered to scold him.

Although his situation had changed—he was no longer an undercover agent struggling on the line of death, but had become a winner in life with a wife, a baby, a happy life, a career, and many brothers.

But he still had a knot in his heart—his background.

On this point, he still couldn't reconcile with himself.

"That's the fifth call, right? Who is he?"

Ah May, having been induced continuously, was now haggard, her hair wet, eating food to replenish her strength.

Chan Ho Nam nodded: "Yeah." Ah May: "You've never mentioned him. Who is he?"

Chan Ho Nam was silent.

Ah May said: "Didn't you say you would tell me everything?"

She wasn't obsessing over who the person was; she just saw her husband's pain and knew this was a knot in his heart. If possible, she could take this opportunity of giving birth to help him untie it.

Chan Ho Nam looked at Ah May's earnest eyes and sighed helplessly: "Alright, I'll tell you."

"His name is Ni Yongxiao, my half-brother."

"Why are you so repulsed by him?"

"Because my dad, and him, are both drug dealers!"

"What?"

Ah May was shocked; this answer was a bit beyond her expectations.

Because she had always known Chan Ho Nam to be a person with a strong sense of justice, yet his father and brother were drug dealers.

!.

"Wait!"

Ah May suddenly said: "That Huang Wang Zhicheng, why did he find you to be an undercover agent?"

Chan Ho Nam was about to say...

"Ring ring ring~~"

Chan Ho Nam answered; it was Director Guan Zu calling.

"How is it? Is the baby born?"

"Not yet, the nurse said it'll probably be midnight."

"Good..."

Subsequently, he received many more calls from Wu Ying, Gao Jin, Ah Wah, and the others. Fortunately, this was a single-patient ward, otherwise, other patients would have complained.

……

In a flash, it was midnight.

Ah May, who had been in pain all day, was finally determined by the doctor to be ready for delivery and was pushed into the delivery room.

After half an hour of effort, a little baby was finally born into this world.

At this moment, Chan Ho Nam couldn't help but shed tears.

The obstetrician held her to wipe her clean and clear the amniotic fluid from her mouth. Not long after, the baby wailed loudly, full of the vitality of life.

The doctor finished wiping, measuring, and dressing the baby, then handed her to Chan Ho Nam.

"It's a girl, very healthy, 51cm tall, weighing 3.51kg..."

Chan Ho Nam carefully took the little baby and looked at her.

The little baby's skin was a bit wrinkled, her hair stuck to her scalp, and those eyes were like two gems.

Chan Ho Nam held her carefully, afraid that one bit of force would hurt his daughter. His inner excitement was beyond words; the tears in his eyes hadn't completely dried, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but lift.

He turned to look at Ah May, who was also tearful but smiling brightly:

"Look, our baby, how cute she is..."

Ah May was physically weak, but she tried hard to reach out and gently touch her daughter's little face, revealing a happy smile.

Soon,

The family of three left the delivery room and returned to the maternity ward.

Calls kept coming in.

Director Guan Zu: "How is it, is she born?"

"Safely born, a daughter."

"What's her name? Have you picked one?"

"The name is Chan Yueqi, Ah May picked it."

"Good, Chan Yueqi, right? Tomorrow I'll make the whole Causeway Bay know her name."

My niece, on the day you were born, the whole of Causeway Bay was whispering your name—Chan Yueqi!

Chan Ho Nam: "????"

Always feels a bit weird.

Subsequently, he took a dozen more calls.

Midway, Ni Yongxiao called: "Is the niece born?"

Chan Ho Nam was silent for a moment and said: "Brother Brother Jiang Sheng, very sturdy, very healthy."

Ni Yongxiao was incredibly excited: "Good! Good! Good! I'll tell my mom and the others this good news right away!"

Hanging up the phone, Chan Ho Nam sighed.

Looking at his daughter lying in the stroller, he was soft-hearted after all.

……

……

A new day,

The tutoring school's promotional activities continued in full swing.

Nine-Patterned Dragon and Old Li (Da Sha) knocked on the door of one of the households.

The door inside opened,

A woman inside looked at Nine-Patterned Dragon and Old Li vigilantly through the sliding iron gate.

Old Li's face was too fierce; he didn't look like a good person at all.

"Who are you?"

Nine-Patterned Dragon took out his ID:

"Hello, we are the correction team from the after-school tutoring school... these are our IDs."

"You must be the one who called the school's customer service, saying your child is a bit naughty, doesn't want to go to school, and only wants to be a thug, right?"

When the woman inside heard this,

"Oh~~ it's you guys!"

"Come in, come in."

After checking the IDs, she happily opened the iron gate and invited the two into the room.

"You guys finally came."

"My son, he's 16, he never wants to study, he always wants to be a thug. I'm worried to death."

Old Li said fiercely: "Don't worry, our correction team is here to correct these little brats' childish thoughts."

He patted his chest, looking very fierce.

At this moment, from a room, came the sound of "bang bang bang~~~" smashing things.

"My son just came back, and I've locked him in the room."

"You must teach him well."

Nine-Patterned Dragon smiled: "Please rest assured, since yesterday, we have already corrected 25 problem children."

Soon, the room door opened.

Inside, a 16-year-old boy was smashing things. He had yellow hair, tattoos all over his arms, and was about the same age as George from Southeast Middle School. He was constantly stomping on a broken Transformer on the ground, venting his anger.

"Hey, brat!"

Old Li walked in with a rumbling sound, radiating a fierce aura.

When the yellow-haired son saw this, his hands trembled in fear.

"You... you... what are you doing? Who are you?"

Full of fear!

Old Li grinned, which was even more terrifying: "I heard you want to be a thug... let me weigh you!"

"First, to be a thug, you have to be able to fight!"

Old Li grabbed him like a little chick, lifted him up, and threw him out of the room. He rolled a few times in the hall and hit the wall.

The mother looked on with heartache, but seeing Old Li's fierce appearance, she didn't dare to speak.

The yellow-haired boy couldn't believe it: "You hit me!"

Old Li shouted fiercely: "So what if I hit you? Being a thug is like this. If I don't like the look of you, I'll beat you, beat you until you're crippled!"

After saying this, he picked up a chair and smashed it toward him.

"No!!"

The mother screamed in fear.

The yellow-haired boy was also so scared he almost peed himself; it was too terrifying.

Old Li then put down the stool and sneered: "Now you're honest, right? You thought being a thug was that easy? You only see the thief eating meat, you don't see the thief getting beaten."

The yellow-haired boy didn't dare to speak anymore.

Old Li: "Sit properly!"

The yellow-haired boy sat down obediently.

Old Li: "Listen up, I used to be a big brother, I had dozens of brothers under me..."

Old Li started talking about his glorious history, laid the groundwork, and then changed the subject, talking about how he was chased by dozens of people with knives, and his wife was killed on the spot...

The yellow-haired boy had no reaction after hearing this.

After all, he was still young and didn't understand any of this.

Old Li asked: "Tell me, why do you want to be a delinquent?"

The yellow-haired boy's expression was full of longing: "Because, there's gold, and I can play with the big sister-in-law!"

Old Li, Nine-Patterned Dragon: "???"
