Chapter 237
"And yesterday's news, uniformly praising me, first praising, then stepping on, this is a premeditated 'killing by praise.' The person who designed this plan is truly insidious and despicable. Fortunately, I, Guan Zu, have always acted uprightly, and a straight body is not afraid of a crooked shadow, otherwise, I would definitely have been ruined this time."
Guan Zu's interview ended here.
The next footage was an interview with the original residents of Shantou Street.
"Ah Zu is a very good person!"
"He and his employees all like to do good deeds, help the elderly, care for children, help poor families; our Wan Chai used to be very chaotic, but now it has become very friendly and harmonious."
"Last time with the Shantou Street fire, he fought for 500 million for us; he didn't take a single cent of hard-earned money, and this time 120 million, I believe he won't take it."
"Today's newspaper, we don't like it very much! This is a slander against Ah Zu!"
"Right, you ATV must help Ah Zu clarify; if so, I will support ATV more in the future."
"Brother Zu, we believe you!"
"Ah Zu, we all believe you!"
Behind the camera, dozens of people surrounded the reporter, shouting together "Ah Zu, believe you"!
The scene was very shocking,
Even Huang Jieyi in the camera showed a shocked expression.
Subsequently, the camera turned and turned to another group of grandmothers and grandfathers.
Huang Jieyi: "Next, we will interview those demolition residents... Grandma, Grandpa, today many newspapers reported that Mr. Guan embezzled 60 million, 70 million of the demolition money... I don't know what you think?"
A grandmother shouted: "Impossible, Mr. Guan absolutely didn't embezzle, because every one of our households received 1.1 million, which adds up to 110 million."
Another grandfather was furious: "Mr. Guan is a good person~~~ those media are rotten to the core, how can they slander him like this!"
"Right, Mr. Guan is a very good person; before, we were forced to demolish by people sent by the Li family. In order to force us to leave, they actually splashed lard on the stairs; it's really unvirtuous!"
"And burning houses, splashing paint... really, they can do anything."
"That building of ours even died..."
One grandfather and grandmother after another were filled with righteous indignation,
"If Ah Zu hadn't helped us, now we old things would have died and no one would know."
"We believe in Ah Zu!"
"Right, believe in Ah Zu!"
"Even if Ah Zu takes a little money, so what? That's what he should take!"
Then the same footage appeared again, a pile of grandfathers and grandmothers surrounding the camera, expressing their support and belief in Guan Zu.
Then, interviews with different people again and again, three times... five times... eight times... all appeared in the same situation; it started with interviewing one person involved, and then other people involved would rush over to speak for Guan Zu, expressing support and belief in Ah Zu.
What is this?
Is it a scripted script?
But looking at one sincere, enthusiastic, and angry face after another, it doesn't look like acting.
At this moment, all the audience couldn't help but be shocked.
They didn't expect this Guan Zu to be so popular?
The whole news, a full 20 minutes,
When this news was broadcast, all the citizens in Hong Kong watching this news were deeply impressed by Guan Zu at this moment.
"He is actually so popular? Unbelievable!"
"Is the Li family targeting him? Or is this just ATV's biased interview?"
"Wow, what a big melon!"
"Speaking of which, it's really possible that the Li family is messing with him; otherwise, who has the strength to news-block a person."
"Seeing the back, shocked, so many people support him."
"Why are there so many people supporting him?"
"Because he does a lot of good deeds."
"Many rich people also do a lot of good deeds; why don't so many people support them?"
"Because the good deeds of those people look very superficial, like donating to some foundation, or donating a school, which has nothing to do with us ordinary people, while the good deeds this Guan Zu does are real and in daily life."
Liang Xiaorou's home,
Liang Xiaogang rarely returned home and ate with his father; at this time, the TV was just broadcasting this news.
"Didn't expect it to be the Li family..."
"No wonder so many newspapers suddenly splashed dirty water on him."
Uncle Liang was filled with righteous indignation.
That's right, Uncle Liang is now also a supporter of Guan Zu. Ever since his daughter went undercover beside Guan Zu, Uncle Liang went to understand Guan Zu, and as a result, the more he understood, the more he felt Guan Zu was a great philanthropist, so he became a supporter of Guan Zu.
However, when he saw so many people involved supporting Guan Zu, Uncle Liang couldn't help but be shocked.
Is Guan Zu too popular?
A night market,
Huang Bingyao was eating with Cao Dahua, and the TV hanging on the wall was broadcasting ATV news.
"Wow, these newspapers are simply distorting the facts one by one; Brother Zu is such a good person, and they still wrong him so much."
Cao Dahua was very unhappy.
Huang Bingyao was very familiar with Guan Zu; looking at Guan Zu putting out so much evidence and getting so many people to support him, the winning side was too big, and it looked like Guan Zu had anticipated it, digging a pit for others to jump into.
"If this is really the case, then this Li family is going to be unlucky."
As for the strong support of those involved for Guan Zu, whether it was Huang Bingyao or Cao Dahua, they were not surprised at all.
They were already used to the scene of Guan Zu being popular!
Ah Lang's home.
Recently, through the efforts of Ah Lang and Bo Zai, Bo Bo rekindled the old fire, and the three finally became a family again.
On TV,
"Dad, Mom, look, isn't this Uncle Guan?"
Bo Bo: "That's right, it is Uncle Guan; didn't expect there to be such an inside story, he was designed to be 'killed by praise,' no wonder the reports in the newspapers yesterday and today were so uniform."
This morning, the two sent Bo Zai to school and also happened to see the newspaper; at that time, Bo Bo felt there was a problem, and someone was targeting Guan Zu.
Didn't expect that in the evening, Guan Zu came out to clarify.
It turned out the Li family was dealing with him.
Ah Lang said angrily: "This Li family is too abominable; clearly it was their fault."
Bo Bo came from a rich family and was used to this kind of thing: "They are high above, so how can they be wrong? It must be the fault of you commoners."
TVB,
News department.
TVB evening news, officially broadcast.
"Not good! Not good!"
Just at this time,
"Damn!"
"Crazy!"
"My God!"
At this time, several colleagues on the other side of the office issued exclamations together.
Over there, a TV was broadcasting the news of the rival ATV; this was a competitive means of both TV stations, to understand what explosive news the other TV station had at any time, so as not to fall behind.
"What happened?"
"Not good!"
"We TVB are being scolded!"
"Quick, look at ATV's evening news, we TVB are being scolded!"
"Did we block that Guan Zu?"
"Yes, Ah Zhen had a big fight with the director during the day, you forgot? "Right right, if you say so, we really blocked that Guan Zu!"
One by one, news department employees exclaimed.
Soon, the news spread throughout the TV station office building, and there was an uproar; all employees ran to turn on the TV and watch ATV's evening news.
Not long after, the news reached the ears of the news department director who had returned home, and his face changed suddenly.
Although this matter was arranged by Auntie Fang, he estimated that he would have to take the blame!
Then, the news reached Auntie Fang's ears, and finally reached Shao Yifu's ears.
Auntie Fang's face was livid.
"This Guan Zu, what great courage!"
And Shao Yifu suppressed Auntie Fang's anger and asked clearly about the specific situation; Auntie Fang hurriedly explained that it was Li Zhixuan's request, and she only agreed after being begged.
Shao Yifu sighed when he heard this.
He was old and couldn't get angry, feeling that Auntie Fang's approach didn't have much of a problem.
!.
What gave him a headache now was how to solve this matter.
Seek peace?
Ease?
Refuse to admit it?
And at this time,
Peninsula Hotel, Tycoon Li Ji was eating with Young Master Li.
This cooperation was very happy, giving both a kind of "fought together" brotherly friendship.
"In the future, we can cooperate more."
"I think so too."
"Cheers~~~"
Just when the friendship was hot,
"Not good! Something happened!"
The secretary received a call, then ran into the private room in a panic and reported this matter to Tycoon Li Ji.
Tycoon Li Ji and Young Master Li hurriedly turned on the private room TV.
When they tuned to ATV news, it happened to be broadcasting the last sentence Guan Zu said: "Act uprightly, a straight body is not afraid of a crooked shadow."
Tycoon Li Ji's face was ugly, looking at the secretary: "You mean, Guan Zu just said that 120 million was all given to the demolition residents? And there are bank transfer records, signatures, and fingerprints?"
The secretary nodded: "Yes."
"How is that possible?!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
Tycoon Li Ji and Young Master Li, both couldn't believe it, feeling it was inconceivable.
How could there be such a good person in this world?
Just embezzle a little bit, even 5 million, 10 million is fine!
As a result, didn't embezzle at all?
Doing charity? Who doesn't get benefits from doing charity now!
Damn, it's hell!
With their worldview, they couldn't believe such a thing at once.
Following that,
Young Master Li breathed a sigh of relief inside; fortunately, fortunately, this Guan Zu didn't know at all that I was behind the scenes dealing with him.
"Hahaha~~~~"
Looking at Tycoon Li Ji, for some reason, suddenly felt a bit sympathetic.
Too miserable, this Li family image might collapse.
At this moment, the brotherly friendship just now was gone, and he started to gloat.
Laughing wildly inside.
And Tycoon Li Ji, at this time, was numb!
Damn!
"Ring ring ring~~~~"
A call from Boss Li.
"Dad!"
"What's going on with you? Did you do this?"
"Dad, I'm eating with a friend, I'll go back and report to you immediately."
"Good, come back to me immediately!"
After hanging up the phone,
Tycoon Li Ji hurriedly said goodbye to Young Master Li and left quickly.
When passing by, Tycoon Li Ji happened to feel Young Master Li's fake enthusiasm, not like concern, but rather a bit of gloating.
Tycoon Li Ji: "%¥%#......"
Got in the car, sat in the car and returned to Repulse Bay, Tycoon Li Ji started calling his father, Boss Li, in the car, explaining the ins and outs of the matter.
Boss Li was quite angry at first, but listening and listening, the things his son did didn't seem to have a big problem.
"Killing by praise!"
"News block!"
If Guan Zu embezzled even a little, 1 million, 5 million, he would be ruined.
As a result, Guan Zu said firmly that he didn't embezzle a cent.
If he didn't embezzle, then this "killing by praise" became only praise, no killing.
Killing, instead, was killing the Li family!
Although Guan Zu said things like "speculation," "no evidence," "the Li family is not necessarily the mastermind," every sentence was "defending" the Li family, but every sentence was reminding the citizens—it was the Li family who did it!
What did Guan Zu do? A great good deed!
And the Li family suddenly became the big villain!
This was absolutely a public opinion storm for the Li family!
If he could block Guan Zu, that would be fine, everything was under the Li family's control. But now that ATV was there, how to block it?
Even though Boss Li had experienced countless business storms, at this moment he still couldn't help but have a headache.
Bald head!!
After hanging up the eldest son's phone, Boss Li thought calmly, then called TVB.
"Sir Run Run Shaw, I'm very sorry to have caused you trouble..."
Boss Li's attitude was very sincere, apologizing first, although this matter was Li Zhixuan's operation, the cause was still the Li family, bringing trouble to TVB.
What could Sir Run Run Shaw say in the end? Blame the Li family?
So the call ended with "It's okay, it's okay," "Sorry, sorry," and "Let's eat together tomorrow night."
After Boss Li hung up the phone, he called Tycoon Lin again, expressing his apology, another round of politeness, and obtained Tycoon Lin's forgiveness. Then he started talking about the news report, hoping Tycoon Lin would use fewer sharp words when reporting this matter.
Tycoon Lin didn't agree readily, but said he would think about it.
Because Tycoon Lin considered more—"Who Wants to Be a Millionaire," this was a project directly praised by the mainland leadership, and he was very optimistic about Guan Zu's future. And seeing him yesterday, he had a very good impression of Guan Zu, humble and polite, with a chest full of gullies, definitely not an ordinary person.
Looking at Guan Zu's career again, don't look at the few assets, but he was steady, his style was steady, and his grassroots foundation was very good.
Such a person would definitely have great achievements in the future.
Therefore, Tycoon Lin didn't agree to Boss Li's request entirely.
