Chapter 175
Evening, 18:00.
A Mercedes, along the Cross-Harbour Tunnel, drove to the Peninsula Hotel.
In the car were Councilor Jian Councilor Jian Dingchi and Councilor Jian Councilor Jian Aowei brothers.
At this time, the tunnel was jammed, but Councilor Jian Councilor Jian Aowei, who was driving, was not in a hurry at all, looking leisurely and calm.
"Ah Wei, you said this Director Guan Zu invited us to dinner, what is it for?" Councilor Jian Councilor Jian Dingchi had big buck teeth, looking at the long traffic jam in the tunnel.
"Don't know."
Just yesterday, they received a call from Director Guan Zu personally, saying he wanted to treat them to dinner, which surprised the two brothers very much.
Councilor Jian Councilor Jian Aowei said: "This Director Guan Zu, ever since he competed with us for district councilor last time, has never contacted us again... This time he suddenly treated us to dinner, there must be some special purpose."
"But we don't have any intersection with him, the only possibility I can think of... is the Legislative Council matter."
"Ah? Legislative Council?" Councilor Jian Councilor Jian Dingchi was stunned.
"I guessed it."
Although Councilor Jian Councilor Jian Aowei didn't know what Director Guan Zu wanted to do, he had an intuition that it was about the Legislative Council.
And at this time, the two brothers didn't know that Director Guan Zu was also stuck in the Cross-Harbour Tunnel, just 50 meters behind them.
Director Guan Zu looked at the long traffic jam ahead and suddenly couldn't help but think of a plot.
"Following Xiao Fu, you said one day, a group of fierce bandits acquired the shares of the Eastern Tunnel, and then blew up the Cross-Harbour Tunnel... would the Eastern Tunnel's stock go crazy?"
"Should be... but how could anyone do such a thing, the crime is too big."
"Hahaha~~ maybe someone will do it."
Soon,
The car queue ahead loosened and moved slowly.
Spent more than 20 minutes, finally arrived at the Peninsula Hotel.
Just got out of the car in the parking lot, Director Guan Zu and the three of them bumped into Councilor Jian Councilor Jian Aowei and Councilor Jian Councilor Jian Dingchi brothers.
"Eh~~"
"Hahaha~~ really coincidental!"
Both sides were surprised.
"You guys also jammed in the tunnel?"
"Yes, we also jammed, estimated we were behind you."
Director Guan Zu said while sizing up Councilor Jian Councilor Jian Aowei. At this time, Councilor Jian Councilor Jian Aowei didn't have the majestic momentum of the "Cold War" period, but the thick black-rimmed glasses and deep, introverted eyes showed he was not an easy person.
As for Councilor Jian Councilor Jian Dingchi, Director Guan Zu just swept a glance, couldn't help but think of Bai Chi Li, and couldn't help but laugh.
The two brothers didn't know what was going on; clearly brothers, but one was dry and wretched, the other tall and handsome. Standing together, surely no one could think they were brothers.
Councilor Jian Councilor Jian Dingchi: "............"
Felt offended by Director Guan Zu's gaze!
And at this time, Councilor Jian Councilor Jian Aowei was also seeing Director Guan Zu in person for the first time, couldn't help but size him up.
Eyes gradually serious!
This person, seemingly like a spring breeze, makes people feel good.
But Councilor Jian Councilor Jian Aowei saw another image beneath this surface:
——Domineering!
Councilor Jian Councilor Jian Aowei suddenly didn't dare to underestimate him, raising his spirit to twelve points.
I'm afraid, this banquet is not a good banquet!
Both sides walked into the Peninsula Hotel together and entered the private room.
Order food,
Chat.
At first, they were chatting about everything, familiarizing themselves first.
Then serving food, drinking.
Why this process?
Because after eating and drinking, the social relationship will have an upgrade of "I have eaten with him, no longer strangers", which can pave the way for the friendly atmosphere of the next conversation.
After three rounds of drinks,
Director Guan Zu signaled Following Xiao Fu.
Following Xiao Fu took out an instrument and tested the whole private room.
Councilor Jian Councilor Jian Aowei and Councilor Jian Councilor Jian Dingchi saw Director Guan Zu so serious, and they also started to become serious.
Following Xiao Fu finished testing and said: "Brother Zu, no problem."
Director Guan Zu nodded, then his face became serious: "Mr. Councilor Jian, Lawyer Councilor Jian... This time I invited the two brothers over, there is a relatively important matter, wanting to cooperate with the two."
Councilor Jian Councilor Jian Aowei narrowed his eyes: "Don't know what kind of cooperation Mr. Director Guan is talking about."
Director Guan Zu smiled: "Legislative Councilor!"
Councilor Jian Councilor Jian Dingchi looked at Councilor Jian Councilor Jian Aowei in shock; it was actually guessed by his younger brother.
Director Guan Zu smiled: "Last time, during the district councilor election, I won Mr. Councilor Jian, for which I am very sorry. And this time, I want to give Mr. Councilor Jian a Legislative Councilor seat as compensation."
Councilor Jian Councilor Jian Aowei frowned: "Mr. Director Guan, forgive me for being blunt, Wan Chai only has two votes, giving one to my brother, I'm afraid your subordinates won't have enough to share?"
"I see that Chen Yongren and Su Jianqiu both have enough prestige to qualify for Legislative Councilor."
Director Guan Zu shook his head and laughed: "No... I have another constituency with a certain grasp of winning."
Councilor Jian Councilor Jian Aowei, Councilor Jian Councilor Jian Dingchi: "??"
"Where?"
Director Guan Zu said: "Kowloon Central!"
Currently, Director Guan Zu has a grasp of 4 councilor seats.
One in Hong Kong Island East (Wan Chai, North Point, etc.), 2 seats.
One in Kowloon Central (Wong Tai Sin, Jiulongcheng), 2 seats.
Don't look at Wong Tai Sin and Jiulongcheng, Director Guan Zu rarely pays attention, but with the promotion of the property company doing good deeds there, constantly throwing money, Director Guan Zu's support rate in Wong Tai Sin and Jiulongcheng has reached 36% and 38%.
These two districts have 4
"Ah? Dad, didn't you have breakfast?"
"Why are you going to have morning tea again?"
Daughter was stunned.
"Let him go." Lu Jiayao shook his head and laughed: "If Dad doesn't go to have morning tea, I'm afraid he will feel uncomfortable all over."
Lu Dad carried the teacup, like an old cadre, walking on the street.
Then, he would "accidentally" meet acquaintances.
These acquaintances and neighbors saw Lu Dad and couldn't help but greet him,
"Oh, Old Lu, congratulations, your son got first place, amazing!"
"Old Lu, awesome, gave birth to an outstanding son."
Lu Dad was humble: "Oh, where, where, it's all luck!"
Humble all the way, suppressing the corners of his mouth all the way.
Wandered for more than an hour, harvested numerous praises.
Took stock, who hadn't met yet, so took out his mobile phone and started calling:
"Oh, how did you know my son got first place..."
Friend on the other side: "............"
Good good good, showing off like this, right!
Could only pinch his nose and compliment: "Your son is so amazing~~~"
Hehehe~~~ Jiejiejie~~~
At this time, Lu Jiayao called: "Dad, the organizer said that the TV station will come over soon to interview our family, do you want to come back?"
When Lu Dad heard this, he couldn't care about strolling and showing off, and quickly said: "I'll be back immediately!"
Running wildly, that speed, like a 20-year-old young man!
Going on TV!
Didn't expect me, Old Lu, over sixty, to still be able to go on TV!
Hey~~
Lu Dad quickly returned to the shop.
Lu Jiayao said in detail: "The organizer said, later they will give each of us in the top ten a photo and interview, it will be in the newspaper tomorrow... and will also make some behind-the-scenes footage for TV..."
"And in the afternoon, I have to go to Asia Television to record the "Who Can Be a Millionaire" program, and can bring one person to be in the audience."
Sister shouted: "I'll go! I'll go!"
Lu Dad directly suppressed it with a slap: "Let Mimi go!"
Then quickly went to change clothes, get a suit, so as not to lose face on TV.
Soon,
Asia Television's reporters and Tan Tan Meili came, giving enough attention.
The interview started.
Asia Television directly dispatched the station flower Huang Huang Jieyi; she is sometimes a host, sometimes a reporter.
"Mr. Lu Jiayao, may I ask how you paid attention to the 'Wan Chai Knowledge Cup'?"
"Everything is because of Brother Zu, that day Brother Zu personally came to the door..."
"I am full of gratitude to Brother Zu. If it weren't for Brother Zu, our shop would definitely have been... by those gangsters, so Brother Zu said he wanted to organize the 'Knowledge Cup', I naturally had to fully support~~~"
Lu Jiayao, this little clever one, blew Director Guan Zu away.
Tan Tan Meili's mouth corners twitched.
After interviewing the family, they took a photo, a family photo.
Huang Huang Jieyi: "In the evening, your interview will be broadcast on the news, please pay attention to the 19 o'clock Asia Television News..."
The family was happy.
Then, Tan Tan Meili took Huang Huang Jieyi to the second place.
The second-place neighbor was an old man who had nothing to do but read books. When accepting the interview, he also blew Director Guan Zu away: "Ah Zu's things, we naturally have to strongly support! Second... very happy!"
Mao Xiang Yang's side, naturally received the call early.
"Ah?"
"Want to interview me?"
Mao Xiang Yang was numb; I came from the mainland, just wanted to work low-key, how did I get on TV?
So, in order to avoid being on TV, he kept refusing the other party's invitation.
Even didn't tell the other party where he lived.
In this way, the other party shouldn't be able to find him, right?
Thinking of this, he let out a sigh of relief and continued to nest in the room, reading "Five Thousand Years of History". He had already sent the first one to the North, and this one was the one he just bought.
Result!
In less than an hour, the reporter came to the door.
"Bang bang bang~~~"
The iron door was knocked.
"Mr. Mao Xiang Yang, please open the door, we are reporters from Asia Television..."
"You won the top ten in this 'Knowledge Cup', specifically here to interview."
"Open the door~~~"
Mao Xiang Yang: "????"
Jumped up from the chair, unbelievable. No?
How did you find this place!
At this time, the surrounding neighbors heard the movement and ran to the corridor one after another.
"What? Someone who got into the top ten lives here?"
"Who?"
"This neighbor just moved in."
Ah Ying's dad said: "Yes, yes, there is indeed a Mr. Mao Xiang Yang inside."
Mao Xiang Yang inside: "............"
It's already like this; if he doesn't appear again, he will lose the face of the motherland.
So, he tidied up his appearance, so as not to appear too fierce, then took "Five Thousand Years of History" and walked to the door.
!.
Before opening the door,
He squeezed out a smile.
Open the door,
"Hahaha~~ sorry, I was sleeping just now... sorry, kept you waiting..."
A group of neighbors showed curious baby big eyes, sizing up Mao Xiang Yang.
"Wow, is this the Heavenly List Expert in the top ten?"
"Looks a bit fierce~~~"
"Nonsense, this is a master of literature and martial arts!"
Soon, Huang Huang Jieyi started the interview.
"Where are you from?"
"I'm from the mainland."
"Ah?" "How old are you?" "Do you have a girlfriend?" "How do you feel about Hong Kong Island?" "What do you think of this activity?" "Come, take a photo~~~"
On the other side, Director Guan Zu was invited to Asia Television.
Conducted an interview about the "Who Can Be a Millionaire" program.
In addition, Director Guan Zu also brought Tan Tan Meili.
The interviewing reporter was Ke Peilin. (From "Goodbye Goodbye Jianghu" Rosamund Kwan)
Although Ke Peilin had long heard of Director Guan Zu's fame, it was her first time seeing Director Guan Zu, and she was instantly attracted by Director Guan Zu's temperament.
"Mr. Director Guan, Miss Tan, hello, my name is Ke Peilin."
"Hello, Miss Ke..."
Director Guan Zu sized up Ke Peilin and recognized her identity at a glance. Ke Peilin, her sense of justice is very strong, and her father is a businessman on the surface, but actually a black organization member, and then killed by his subordinates.
As for Ke Peilin, she didn't know this at all; after her father died, she even recognized the murderer as her uncle... and then found a boyfriend, who turned out to be the killer who killed her father.
Hmm... it is a bit bloody.
And Tan Tan Meili?
Actually, she didn't want to come; after all, this is on TV, it will expose her, but Director Guan Zu dragged her here, so she could only come with despair.
And this is also Director Guan Zu's intention.
Soon the interview started,
"Mr. Director Guan, what prompted you to organize an activity like 'Reading Month · Knowledge Cup'?"
Director Guan Zu's temperament was warm, full of righteousness: "Everything stems from life. I think many citizens know that I donated 2 million to set up several extracurricular tutoring schools, urging students to study hard. At that time, I had a thought: children should study, and adults can also study."
"As the saying goes, reading can make one wise; reading more is always good."
"So, there was this 'Reading Month · Knowledge Cup' activity."
Ke Peilin curious: "I heard that at the beginning of this activity, Mr. Director Guan directly printed 100,000 sets of "Five Thousand Years of History", and then gave them away for free to every household? Doesn't this cost at least 700,000 to 800,000?"
"About 1 million, and also mobilized people to promote it door-to-door, still spent quite a lot of manpower and material resources." Director Guan Zu said seriously.
"My God, so much?" Ke Peilin exclaimed.
"It's not much... For me, money is gone and can be earned again, but doing good deeds, I am serious... Since receiving the guidance of Wong Tai Sin, I have been committed to doing good deeds, never daring to slack off, and never counting the rewards!"
Many citizens have an impression of Director Guan Zu believing in Wong Tai Sin.
Ke Peilin nodded: "On this point, I believe many citizens are very recognized, after all, the good deeds Mr. Director Guan has done are really too many."
"Also, why did Mr. Director Guan choose the book "Five Thousand Years of History"?"
"Because I found that many people are not clear about Chinese history, so I deliberately chose "Five Thousand Years of History"."
In terms of stance, Director Guan Zu has always been very firm.
Asked a few more questions, Director Guan Zu felt that he had finished pretending, and it was time to let Tan Tan Meili go on stage, so he pulled Tan Tan Meili:
"This beautiful girl, the main person in charge of this activity, Tan Tan Meili, it is because of her that this 'Knowledge Cup' could be held so smoothly... (omitted 200 words of praise)"
So, Ke Peilin started interviewing Tan Tan Meili.
Tan Tan Meili howled in her heart, I don't want to be on TV.
Had to bite the bullet and accept the interview.
