Chapter 176: 172 Family Man Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu: Brother Mao Mao Xiang Yang, are you willing to be a
Mao Mao Xiang Yang continued writing the letter:
"Although Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu is a member of a triad, he has performed many good deeds and is widely welcomed by the masses in the Wanchai District, which has a population of over one hundred thousand."
"I moved into the Causeway Bay community in Wanchai District and felt the enthusiasm of the masses... Here, please forgive me for an action I took: I placed 8th in the 'Knowledge Cup' competition, and was then dragged by enthusiastic masses to the television station to participate in a program recording..."
He explained the sequence of events.
He felt truly guilty about this point.
"Returning to Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu, when asked by the host during an interview why he chose 'Five Thousand Years of History' for the 'Knowledge Cup,' his answer was: 'I discovered that many people are unclear about our country's history, so I deliberately chose it.'"
"From this point, one can see Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's sense of identification with the country; he is a target worth winning over."
"Next, I will continue to stay in Causeway Bay. On one hand, I am waiting for the police investigation regarding Li Changjiang; on the other hand, I plan to personally make contact with this Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu..."
He wrote over three thousand words, filling four pages.
After finishing,
Mao Mao Xiang Yang let out a long breath.
Tomorrow, he planned to make formal contact with this Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu.
At Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Zhilian's home.
Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Zhilian was eating dinner with his wife: steamed grouper and a plate of greens.
Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Zhilian was busy while eating.
His wife couldn't help but laugh: "Mr. Lu, experts say that when eating, one should chat more with one's wife to promote marital affection."
Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Zhilian smiled helplessly: "Alright."
He put away his notebook.
"Hey, Mrs. Lu's culinary skills have improved~~ This fish is excellent." Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Zhilian picked up a piece of fish meat and put it in his mouth. The richness of the soy sauce and the fresh sweetness of the fish meat blended perfectly; it enhanced the freshness without overpowering the flavor, perfectly stimulating the original taste of the grouper.
"Right? I specifically asked the neighbor's wife to teach me."
Just then,
On the television, the Asia Television news finished, and after a few commercials, it began broadcasting the interview with Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu and Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Meili.
Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Zhilian watched on the screen as Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu praised Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Meili repeatedly, and Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Meili spoke eloquently and confidently during the interview, her self-assurance glowing.
For some reason, he had the illusion of being "cuckolded" right in front of his face.
Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Zhilian: "............"
On the other side, Mark of the Eastern Star, the rival of Yao Yang, was drinking in his own bar when he received a call from Gao Jin.
"Brother Jin, I've long heard of your great name. May I ask what business you have with me?!"
Mark was a bit surprised.
The two sides had always minded their own business; he didn't know why he was getting a call now.
Gao Jin said: "I'm calling this time because I'd like to ask you to do me a favor."
Mark frowned.
Whenever someone asked for a "favor," he knew it was never anything good.
"Brother Jin, please speak."
Gao Jin said: "I know you and Yao Yang are competing for the position of hall master through a car racing competition. I don't want to get involved in your affairs. However, the Wei Yingxiong you invited is my girlfriend's father."
"I don't want my girlfriend's father to get into trouble because of you. Don't worry, I've already greeted Yao Yang's side, and they won't be looking for Wei Yingxiong to do anything. I hope you can give up on him too, just give me some face."
"Brother Jin, isn't this a bit too overbearing?" Mark was displeased, his voice rising an octave. "Wei Yingxiong has already taken my money. Are you saying he can just take the money and not do the job?"
Gao Jin said: "So, just give me some face. Of course, if you aren't willing to give me face, I won't give you any either."
Mark frowned: "Are you threatening me?"
Gao Jin said: "You can take it that way."
Mark: "............"
A wave of anger rose in his heart.
Is he trying to corner me?
But thinking of his own small stature, and the fact that he was competing with Yao Yang for the hall master position, he couldn't afford to create extra trouble. Otherwise, with one word from Gao Jin, the dragon head would have to consider whether to remove him.
"Fine!"
"This time, I'll give Brother Jin some face."
Mark said through gritted teeth.
Gao Jin: "Thank you... He took your 10,000 Hong Kong dollars; I'll have someone send it back to you later."
After hanging up, Mark cursed:
"I didn't expect Wei Yingxiong to look so low-key, yet hide so deep!"
After thinking about it, he called his underling: "Go find that Wei Yingxiong tomorrow and cancel the cooperation."
Underling: "Huh?"
Mark: "Huh your sister, just go do it... By the way, be polite to that old man Wei Yingxiong."
The underling quickly said: "Alright, alright."
A new day.
In order to broadcast "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" on the weekend four days later, Asia Television began a large-scale promotional campaign.
This morning, over a dozen newspapers across Hong Kong were reporting on the "Knowledge Cup Top Ten."
It was directly on the front page.
There were photos and introductions.
The first was naturally Lu Lu Jiayao, with the largest photo and the most personal introduction: architectural designer, runs a fruit shop, has a girlfriend...
The second, the third...
The eighth, Mao Mao Xiang Yang, from a scholarly family—it's just that his appearance looked a bit fierce.
At the Big Bear Auto Repair Shop,
Councilor Councilor Councilor Councilor Councilor Councilor Jian Hao and a group of underlings were holding the newspaper, pointing fingers.
"Look at the eighth one, he looks like a thug, yet he could get eighth place? This 'Knowledge Cup' isn't that hard!"
"Exactly, I could do it too!"
"Next time, I'm going to get into the top ten!"
A group of them were bragging.
Meanwhile, Wei Yingxiong was worried. He had taken his daughter Wei Wei Yingzi's words to heart, feeling that he shouldn't be involved in such dangerous matters.
However, he had already taken Mark's 10,000 Hong Kong dollars. Could he back out now?
These triads weren't exactly reasonable.
Just then,
A car stopped in front of the repair shop.
Mark's yellow-haired underlings walked over in large strides, looking aggressive.
Councilor Councilor Councilor Councilor Councilor Councilor Jian Hao and the others immediately turned into quails.
Wei Yingxiong's face turned bitter as he walked up to meet them.
"Gentlemen..."
When the yellow-haired underlings saw Wei Yingxiong, they stood in unison, bowed, and shouted: "Mr. Wei!"
Wei Yingxiong, Councilor Councilor Councilor Councilor Councilor Councilor Jian Hao, and the others: "Huh?"
It felt unreal.
Although the underling didn't understand why Mark wanted him to be respectful to Wei Yingxiong, he still followed orders.
Was this show of respect enough?
Then the underling enthusiastically shook Wei Yingxiong's hand: "Mr. Wei, my boss Mark said that you don't need to participate in the car racing matter this time."
Wei Yingxiong, Councilor Councilor Councilor Councilor Councilor Councilor Jian Hao, and the others: "Huh?" again.
They were all dumbfounded.
Wei Yingxiong was a bit curious: "Why?"
The underling shook his head: "I don't know either, anyway, Boss Mark said so... My message is delivered, Mr. Wei, goodbye."
After saying that, the group of yellow-haired underlings walked away quickly.
Leaving behind a dumbfounded Wei Yingxiong, Councilor Councilor Councilor Councilor Councilor Councilor Jian Hao, and several apprentices.
"Master, what's going on?"
"I don't know either!"
Wei Yingxiong probably understood that it was likely Gao Jin who had spoken up.
However, he wouldn't tell Councilor Councilor Councilor Councilor Councilor Councilor Jian Hao, that big-mouthed fellow; the main reason for this trouble was Councilor Councilor Councilor Councilor Councilor Councilor Jian Hao's love for showing off, which led to those triads coming to his door...
On Mao Mao Xiang Yang's side.
Early in the morning, he washed up, went out, and prepared to find Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu.
This "finding" naturally required technique.
He prepared to have a "chance encounter" with Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu. For this, he had to thank his 8th place in the "Knowledge Cup," which gave him a legitimate excuse to approach Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu.
"Brother Mao~~ Morning."
In the hallway, Ah Ying's father greeted him.
"Mr. Mao... How was the program recording yesterday?"
"Brother Mao~~~ Did you win yesterday?"
!.
One neighbor after another was greeting him enthusiastically.
Mao Mao Xiang Yang liked this atmosphere very much.
After going downstairs, he bought breakfast and ate it. Then, passing by a newspaper stand, he had a flash of inspiration and bought a newspaper; sure enough, his photo was on it.
—Mao Mao Xiang Yang, 8th place in the Knowledge Cup...
With this, he could introduce himself to Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu very well.
Soon,
He walked to the vicinity of the boxing gym.
Perhaps it was heaven's will, but he happened to see Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu and Following Xiao Fu coming from the other end of the street.
Mao Mao Xiang Yang estimated the distance and walked quickly.
Then, as he passed by Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu and Following Xiao Fu, he stopped abruptly.
"Eh~~~"
"Are you... Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan?"
Mao Mao Xiang Yang looked "shocked," then pleasantly surprised.
And Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu?
Actually, he had seen Mao Mao Xiang Yang early on, recognized him at a glance, and then saw him adjust his speed to fake a chance encounter.
"What is this guy trying to do?"
"Faking a chance encounter?"
Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's acting wasn't bad either; he first looked at Mao Mao Xiang Yang with "doubt," then showed "surprise."
"You are... Mao Mao Xiang Yang, the one who got 8th?"
"Yes, yes, that's me, Mao Mao Xiang Yang!"
"Mr. Mao, you are amazing, to be able to get into the top 10 out of 25,000 people..."
Then the two shook hands and began their commercial mutual flattery.
"By the way, I heard Mr. Mao is from the North?"
"Yes."
"I have always yearned for the North." Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu began to bluff, "Although I am in Hong Kong, my ancestors are Hakka from Northern Guangdong, and my ancestral home is Anhui... Before my father died, he told me I must go back and take a look."
Mao Mao Xiang Yang felt happy in his heart.
Keeping the motherland in his heart, very good!
The idea of winning over Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu gained another layer.
"I wonder where Mr. Mao is from?"
"I am from Eastern Guangdong."
"Oh~~~ That counts as being fellow countrymen... I heard Mr. Mao came to Hong Kong alone and shouldn't have many friends... Don't worry, from today on, you, Mao Mao Xiang Yang, are my brother, Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's brother. If you have any business, just tell me, I will definitely help."
Bold and loyal!
Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu pulled Mao Mao Xiang Yang in, so "family-like," making Following Xiao Fu realize that Boss Zu had designs on this Mao Mao Xiang Yang!
He couldn't help but look at Mao Mao Xiang Yang with sympathy.
Mao Mao Xiang Yang didn't know this and couldn't help but feel moved.
"By the way, Mr. Mao, do you have a job since coming to Hong Kong?"
"No."
"Do you have a girlfriend?"
"No."
"Don't worry, leave all this to me!" Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu patted his chest with a thud.
Mao Mao Xiang Yang was even more moved.
However, he was moved too early, because Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu always used such "undercover agents" to the death!
I've been killing fish at Darenfa for six years, my heart is as cold as the knife that kills fish!
"Mr. Mao, I have a job here that should be very suitable for you!"
"What job?"
"Teacher!"
Mao Mao Xiang Yang: "Huh?"
Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu put on a "compassionate" posture: "You know, I have a school under my banner, and I discovered that this school doesn't even have a Chinese history teacher!"
"As a citizen of the country, not even knowing the country's history, isn't this forgetting one's roots? It's simply a disgrace!"
"I, Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu, absolutely cannot sit by and watch!"
"So, I have always wanted to find a Chinese history teacher to tell all the students about our country's history."
"He will tell of the majesty of the Qin and Han, the brilliance of the Tang and Song, the changes of the Ming and Qing... From Qu Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Tian Brother Brother Tian Brother Tian Yuan's 'Li Sao' to Li Bai's 'Bring in the Wine,' from Du Fu's deep and melancholic verses to Su Shi's open-mindedness and transcendence, poets used their pens to express their deep feelings for the country and the world..."
"Culture is the soul of our nation. I hope this teacher can speak eloquently, letting students feel the prosperity and culture of our country over the past five thousand years; experience the unyielding spirit of our ancestors; understand the heavy history carried behind every story..."
Watching Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's impassioned appearance, Mao Mao Xiang Yang couldn't help but be moved, and couldn't help but look at Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu with respect.
He!
Is absolutely a patriotic person who cares about the country and the world!
From Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's impassioned voice just now, Mao Mao Xiang Yang felt what is called "a heart of innocence, feelings for the country."
Every word seemed to be a fervor surging from the bottom of his heart, not only expressing respect and love for the country's history. This kind of emotion is a deep and sincere love for the nation and the country, making Mao Mao Xiang Yang involuntarily moved and filled with respect.
"So!"
Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu looked at Mao Mao Xiang Yang with burning eyes, full of expectation.
"I have been looking for this history teacher, and the 'Knowledge Cup' was also held for this!"
"And now, I think you are very suitable!"
"So, Mr. Mao, are you willing to take on this heavy responsibility? Are you willing to step forward, become a history teacher, and lead all the students into the vast ocean of China's glorious five-thousand-year history?"
"Finally, teach all students that as descendants of China, understanding and inheriting one's own history and culture is a matter of pride and glory!"
At this moment,
Mao Mao Xiang Yang's blood was boiling.
He stood at attention subconsciously!
"Guarantee to complete the mission!"
Then realizing it was wrong, he quickly put his hand down.
Following Xiao Fu looked at the sky, as if the clouds in the sky were very beautiful.
Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu also looked as if he hadn't seen anything, smiling: "Very good! This glorious mission is handed to you!"
He picked up the phone and dialed Chen Chen Yongren.
Not long after,
At the boxing gym.
Chen Chen Yongren arrived.
The office door closed, Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu put his arm around Chen Chen Yongren's shoulder, and said sneakily:
"I found you a Chinese history teacher. This person came from the North and got 8th place without even using 'Five Thousand Years of History.' Clearly, his Chinese history is very good."
"He's probably an undercover agent. Use him to the death, treat him like a cow or horse! Use a sense of mission and ideals to bind him!"
Chen Chen Yongren: "I understand."
How could he not understand?
He himself came here as a cow or horse.
Thinking of this, Chen Chen Yongren looked at Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu with resentment.
Boss Zu's routines are deep, I want to go back to the countryside.
Soon,
Mao Mao Xiang Yang, led by Chen Chen Yongren, arrived at Southeast Middle School.
The new chapter isn't finished yet, have to wait, high fever last night, taking medicine, writing while physically disabled, miserable, miserable, miserable!
