~14 min read 2,772 words

One hour later,

Director Guan Zu and Cao Dahua finished their late-night snack, drank their wine, and said goodbye.

"Ring ring ring~~~"

"Brother Zu, thank you, really found that group of bastards!"

On the other side of the phone, came Fei Sha's excited voice.

Director Guan Zu: "Done?"

Fei Sha was happy: "Done, we set up an ambush in advance, after they returned to the room, I knocked on their door under the pretext of hotel service... then we rushed in..."

This case could be considered relatively smooth. Although there was a shootout, it was all Fatty Sha leading the Anti-Triad Unit, crushing the thugs with seven or eight guns and grenades; the thugs were caught off guard and didn't even have a chance to fight back.

Fei Sha worshipped: "Brother Zu, you are really too god!"

What is this called?

Knowing things like a god, deciding victory thousands of miles away!

Awesome!

Thanked him again and again.

Director Guan Zu congratulated him a few times, and after hanging up the phone, the system made a sound.

"You assisted the police in breaking a major case of dangerous criminals, you received the following rewards..."

"Reward 1: Central and Western District Police Force support rate +1% (Total 8%)"

"Reward 2: 'Top Supermarket Management Talent Talent Card' *1."

"Reward 3: 'Jacky Cheung · Singing God Talent Card' can let a person have music talent like a singing god."

"Reward 4: 4 songs "Kiss Goodbye" "Blessing" "Love Letter" "You Are So Poisonous"."

"Reward 5: 'Jacky Cheung · Primary Music Theory Card', can let a person have primary music theory."

Director Guan Zu: "??"

(_)

What the hell?

What is this used for?

I don't sing!

Wait... Director Guan Zu subconsciously thought of Brother Wu Ying.

This guy's cerebral cortex is smooth, letting him do management is really not possible, just like "Five-Star Daily", it has been so long, and there is no sound at all.

Brother Wu Ying: "…………" You are scolding again!

Could it be that this thing is for Brother Wu Ying to use?

Director Guan Zu took out his phone and dialed Brother Wu Ying's number.

"Hello Brother Zu..."

On the other side of the phone, came Brother Wu Ying's weak voice, imagining a picture: Zhou Xingxing in school, walking dead, eyes without spirit.

"How is 'Five-Star Daily' now?"

"Ah~~~~ Brother Zu, I can't do it, it's too troublesome, I don't want to be any newspaper president, I just want to be my human resources director." Brother Wu Ying protested.

Director Guan Zu: "But I don't need you to be the human resources director anymore."

Brother Wu Ying: "... Why don't you let me be a borer, a loser, I really can't do it."

I want to be a borer, a loser, gnawing on Brother Zu.

In this way, Brother Zu is my beast of burden!

Heh heh heh~~~

Director Guan Zu complained: "Let you study hard, you don't listen... Look at A-Hua, Hua Di, Gao Jin, Su Jianqiu, they go to Hong Kong University for class every week, heard that you always skip class..."

Brother Wu Ying immediately begged for mercy: "I was wrong! But that, I really listened very painfully, when in class, I felt like I was singing 'Tears of the Iron Window'." (From "Fight Back to School")

Director Guan Zu: "…………"

"Okay, don't torture you, come to Causeway Bay tomorrow, have something to find you..."

Brother Wu Ying immediately got spirit: "Okay!"

Director Guan Zu: "In addition, there was a case in the Anti-Triad Unit of the Central and Western District Police Station tonight, it has been settled, you send a reporter over, report my name, the Anti-Triad Unit will give you an interview."

Brother Wu Ying's voice was low: "Okay..."

A new day.

Director Guan Zu woke up from the bed in the bedroom.

Opening his eyes, he saw Sister Ruan Mei huddled in his arms.

The morning sun shone on her beautiful back, and the white-as-jade skin was slightly red in the sun.

Director Guan Zu kissed her.

Sister Ruan Mei lazily said "Hmm", and woke up.

The two finished breakfast, ate, went downstairs, Director Guan Zu went to the company, Sister Ruan Mei went to school for class.

"Brother Zu!" Li Situ Jie was waiting downstairs, eating pineapple bun and coffee.

"Isn't it Xiao Fu's shift during the day?" Director Guan Zu was surprised.

"He said he was going to pursue a female lawyer." Li Situ Jie said.

"Wow? So powerful?" Director Guan Zu was surprised.

"I heard that the female lawyer still has a boyfriend." Li Situ Jie said again.

Director Guan Zu: "!!!!"

However, this guy Xiao Fu, don't look at him as honest and simple, actually he is very smart, it is estimated that he has confidence.

Newspaper stall,

"Brother Zu morning!"

"Boss, what news is there today?"

"Hey, no big news, but 'Five-Star Daily' reported a mainland dangerous criminal case."

Director Guan Zu scanned the newspapers on the newspaper stall,

"Shame! Central and Western District PTU team acting like a coward in front of a thief!" — Oriental Daily News

"Shocking: Central and Western District Police Force strikes like thunder, taking down a group of mainland dangerous criminals!" — Five-Star Daily

Two newspapers were put together by the newspaper stall owner.

Director Guan Zu: "…………"

With this comparison, the topic came, buying one copy is not enough, double sales came like this.

Let soul Director Guan Zu focus on other newspapers —

"Li's Foundation does great charity, Causeway Bay neighbors are grateful"

"Love has no boundaries! Li's Foundation helps families in difficulty reignite the fire of hope!"

"New fashion of charity! Li's Foundation sends warmth into the hearts of Causeway Bay ParknShop!"

Also,

"ParknShop 'boycott wind' turns into 'hot trend wind' overnight!"

"Customer return miracle! ParknShop welcomes 'spring' again!"

"From cold to hot! ParknShop 'comes back to life'!"

Director Guan Zu took a look, all were front-page headlines, almost all newspapers were reporting ParknShop and Li's Foundation.

Clearly, the Li family bought advertising space.

However, why didn't "Oriental Daily News" get this advertisement?

Director Guan Zu bought a charity newspaper and read it.

It's a pity that this newspaper currently didn't report how many good deeds Li's Foundation did, just said it did good deeds.

But it's also right, it just started doing it now, just the review takes a few days, it is estimated that it will take a few days before it appears — how many people were helped, how much money was spent.

"Can only wait a few more days..."

Director Guan Zu has patience.

Arrived at the Five-Star Group headquarters.

"Brother Zu morning!"

"Boss morning!"

On the first floor, the Five-Corner Arena set up inside was banging loudly, it must be someone fighting PK inside.

Director Guan Zu went in and saw

Then he was kicked in the butt by Director Guan Zu.

Director Guan Zu scolded with a laugh: "Aren't you supposed to be a parasite? Why does a parasite have a secretary!"

Wu Ying clutched his butt with a face full of grievance.

Tan Tan Meili covered her mouth and giggled on the side; she envied this kind of brotherhood, which was also the reason she gradually grew to like the big family of the Five-Star Group.

Can't go back, Lu sir!!

Director Guan Zu directly clicked on "Jacky Cheung · Singing God Talent Card", "Jacky Cheung · Primary Music Theory Card", and "Kiss Goodbye", "Blessing", "Love Letter", "You Are So Toxic", and used them all on Wu Ying.

Hopefully this time, he won't be 'slipped up' by Wu Ying.

Then Director Guan Zu said to Tan Tan Meili: "I called you over this time because there is a very important matter that needs you to do."

Tan Tan Meili was currently running the "Knowledge Cup" with great success and also had a very good relationship with ATV.

Among all of Director Guan Zu's 'little brothers', Tan Tan Meili's ability was the strongest.

And this time, for the "Five-Star Supermarket" matter, Director Guan Zu calculated the people he had on hand, and the most suitable one was still Tan Tan Meili.

Can only make Tan Tan Meili suffer a bit!

Maga! My workhorse!

As an undercover agent, Tan Tan Meili was still very self-aware: "Brother Zu, please instruct me!"

Director Guan Zu said solemnly: "This time, I will give you 400 million Hong Kong dollars..."

"400 million!" *2

Wu Ying and Tan Tan Meili both exclaimed.

Wu Ying hurriedly jumped up: "Brother Zu, leave it to me, I can do it!" He was kicked flying by Director Guan Zu.

Tan Tan Meili was flattered: "Brother Zu, 400 million, I'm afraid I can't handle it."

Director Guan Zu put on a deep look of 'I value you highly': "Tan Meili, although you've only been at our company for 3 months, your character and ability have both been recognized by everyone!"

Then Director Guan Zu explained the "Five-Star Supermarket" project to her in detail.

"You will become the general manager of this supermarket. You need to do a lot: rent/buy shopping malls, recruit elite talent for the mall, decoration, procurement, promotion, employee training... I can provide you with all the people and resources."

"You have full authority over the 400 million in funds, I just need to sign off..."

At this moment, Tan Tan Meili's eyes turned red, and her breathing became rapid.

400 million!

That's 400 million!

Money that many people couldn't earn in a hundred lifetimes.

!.

Now letting her be fully responsible!

This kind of trust from Brother Zu made Tan Tan Meili deeply moved in addition to being excited.

Tan Tan Meili stood at attention: "Brother Zu, I will definitely not let you down!"

As a talented woman with high intelligence and firm perseverance, how could Tan Tan Meili miss such an opportunity?!

As she spoke, she actually had the temperament of a heroic female general, making Wu Ying on the side stunned.

"Good!"

Director Guan Zu also felt that Tan Tan Meili's personality should take on this task, and now that it was settled, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

He directly used the "Top-tier Supermarket Management Talent Card" on Tan Tan Meili.

For the next hour, Director Guan Zu told Tan Tan Meili about some of the "Five-Star Supermarket" concepts like "service first", "quality control", and "the largest supermarket in Hong Kong".

There were also many small details, such as "price difference compensation", "free services", "complaint rewards"...

Tan Tan Meili took notes one by one; although she didn't understand many of them for the moment, she would slowly ponder them later.

However, she also realized that this "Five-Star Supermarket" was probably completely different from the current ParknShop and Wellcome supermarkets.

Larger scale, more advanced, and the corresponding difficulty and risk would also be higher!

Tan Tan Meili felt excited just thinking about it!

Director Guan Zu unleashed his PUA technique, patting Tan Tan Meili on the shoulder:

"In the future, more "Five-Star Supermarkets" will open in Hong Kong!"

"Occupying over 80% of Hong Kong's retail!"

"In the future, you will be the Supermarket Queen, a business legend!"

Supermarket Queen?

Tan Tan Meili felt very energized as soon as she heard it!

Lu sir!

I'm sorry, from now on I am Brother Zu's person!

What Independent Commission Against Corruption, sorry, I don't know it!

Over the next few days,

Tan Tan Meili began to invest in the preparations for the Five-Star Supermarket, lease negotiations, contacting the China Resources Group, and poaching talent from ParknShop and Wellcome.

She was busy beyond measure.

As for the "Knowledge Cup" and "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" matters, they were handed over to Liang Liang Xiaorou.

Liang Liang Xiaorou: "???"

Liang Liang Xiaorou felt too busy, so she handed a part of it to Xie Weihao.

Xie Weihao: "???"

And on the Li Foundation side, they finally began the qualification review and fund distribution for the Causeway Bay donation recipients.

After the distribution, just as Director Guan Zu thought, they couldn't help but boast on the newspapers about how much money they donated and how many people they helped.

Director Guan Zu was already sharpening his sword, having Ah Wah count those neighborhood donation recipients.

Five-Star Property had enough influence; counting this was simply as easy as pie.

One day...

Two days...

Three days...

Newspapers all over Hong Kong reported every day that funds were being donated at a scale of 500,000 to 1 million per day.

This kind of grand gesture caused a great response throughout Hong Kong.

And the ParknShop in Causeway Bay had gradually recovered to 90% of its peak passenger flow.

It made the China Resources Supermarket extremely depressed.

Never expected that the customers they worked so hard to attract had run away again.

And in the stock market, because of the resurgence of ParknShop, the stock of Hutchison Whampoa began to rise day by day.

A large number of retail investors bought in one after another.

Confidence had returned!

Boss Li was also in a very good mood during this period, praising Jack Li repeatedly for doing a good job.

He even arranged an exclusive interview for Jack Li.

Jack Li felt a bit guilty, but since Boss Li arranged it, he couldn't delay it.

"Mr. Li, during this recent period, the Li Foundation has been vigorously doing charity and has received enthusiastic responses from citizens. Do you have anything to say about this?"

"This is just the daily routine of our Li Foundation... I have always promised that we never touch a single cent of the Li Foundation; however much charity it does and however much money it spends, I will replenish it."

"I have always believed that the success of an enterprise should not only be measured by economic benefits, but it should also be reflected in its contribution to society. The Li Foundation is a platform for us to give back to society, through which we bring substantive changes to those who need help..."

Although Jack Li felt a bit guilty, he was still eloquent and high-spirited.

That evening, at 19:00, TVB reported this interview with Jack Li.

At the end of the interview, Jack Li said: "We are serious about doing charity!"

At Director Guan Zu's home,

Sister Ruan Mei tidied up the bowls and chopsticks, untied her apron, and wearing light clothing, she burrowed into Director Guan Zu's arms, lay down, and watched the TV news with Director Guan Zu.

Director Guan Zu's hand automatically adapted to the appropriate position.

"Eh, is it a bit bigger."

"............"

At this moment, they happened to see the news of Jack Li's exclusive interview.

"500,000 to 1 million every day..."

Sister Ruan Mei asked curiously.

"Wouldn't that be about 3 million spent in these four days? Even if one neighbor got 10,000, there should be 300 neighbors."

"How come this newspaper seems to have only reported 100-plus. And the neighbors I know seem to have only gotten 8,000 HKD at most, many are only 1,000-2,000 HKD."

Director Guan Zu curled his lips: "Congratulations, you've discovered the point."

Sister Ruan Mei looked up from below at Director Guan Zu, surprised: "Brother Zu, do you mean the money they announced is not true?"

Director Guan Zu: "It's possible... Ah Wah and the others are currently counting at the company."

He looked at the round clock on the wall, 19:25.

"Looking at the time, they should be almost done counting."

Five-Star Group, in one of the new offices.

Ah Wah led a group of people, currently counting the data they collected from the neighbors: how many people received donations, and how many people received them.

After spending more than an hour,

The result finally came out.

212 people received donations!

The donation amounts were all one-time, not the kind that continued monthly.

Total amount: 580,000!

And the data announced by the Li Foundation: 3.11 million in donations!

Comparing the two, the gap was very large.

Ah Wah dialed Director Guan Zu's phone: "Brother Zu, the count is out. They announced 3.11 million (fuzzy data), while the donations our neighbors received were 580,000."

"The ratio is only 18.6%!"

Director Guan Zu was surprised for a moment,

This ratio could still be considered to have a conscience.

Compared to later generations, he could be considered a good person.

Could it be that they haven't fully evolved yet?

Ah Wah complained on the phone: "This bunch of people bragged about how great they were, but when you peel it open, it's hilarious!"

"By the way, Brother Zu, should we expose it tomorrow?"
