Chapter 312
One hour later,
"Tsk tsk~~~~"
Five Star Group building, office,
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu held the freshly printed photos, which showed Ni Ming walking out of the nightclub, looking smug.
"He probably still hasn't realized that the woman he hooked up with wasn't some wealthy lady having an affair, but a woman with 'nothing to lose'."
This woman was contacted by Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu through multiple connections; it couldn't be traced back to Thirteen Sister, nor could it be traced back to Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu.
Moreover, this woman took 1 million, plus the jewelry, necklace, and red dress she was wearing, with a total value exceeding 1.5 million.
She made a killing!
She is probably already running to Haojiang by now.
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu said to Ah Wah in front of him: "Arrange for people to keep an eye on this Ni Ming; once he goes to the hospital, dig out his records."
"I want to ruin his reputation!"
Hehehe~~
Jiejiejie~~~
The two of them in the office laughed evilly.
And at this time,
On the other side, Long Wei was in a Taikoo Shing shopping mall, wearing a yellow training suit, shopping, followed by his agent Cao Chali.
"Wow~~ isn't that Long Wei?"
"Long Wei, can I have an autograph?"
Two female fans ran over excitedly.
Long Wei's eyes lit up when he saw the women, his gaze drilling directly into the cleavage of their "weapons."
"Sure, should I sign here?" Long Wei lecherously held his pen and reached toward the chest area.
This action instantly caused strong dissatisfaction among the female fans.
"Eww~~ so sleazy!"
"Not cool at all!"
"Yeah, so disgusting, not even as cute as Zhou Xingxing. Zhou Xingxing is the King of Kung Fu, much better than him, and he's not lecherous."
The female fans cursed Long Wei a few more times, unfollowed him, and ran away.
Long Wei: "............"
Damn it!
Zhou Xingxing, is it!
You just wait for me!
His greatest hobby is women; this is equivalent to what for Zhou Xingxing: the hatred of stealing a wife, an irreconcilable enemy!
What he didn't notice was that a muscular man with long curly hair was watching him from afar.
"He is Long Wei?"
"The former King of Kung Fu?"
Excitement appeared in Sang Bang's eyes.
He wanted to challenge Zhou Xingxing, and he also wanted to challenge Long Wei.
At this moment,
Long Wei felt a sudden urge to urinate.
He hurried to the mall's restroom, the men's room, the urinal; Long Wei liberated his weapon and began...
"Beep~~ beep~~ beep~~~"
He used to be full of passion, able to pee three meters against the wind; now, the fragile him couldn't even manage a split stream, only beep beep beep...
Just then,
A huge shadow loomed over; a fierce-looking guy walked to the adjacent urinal.
"Whoosh~~~~"
The tall Sang Bang.
The kidney-deficient Long Wei.
The two stood side by side, the sound of their urination forming a strange chemical reaction in the restroom, turning into weird music.
Long Wei: "............"
Very unhappy!
And Sang Bang glanced at Long Wei's "joejoe," revealing a look of contempt.
Long Wei was almost bursting with anger.
Sang Bang chewed gum: "What? Not convinced? If you're not convinced, let's fight!"
Long Wei was already angry, but he didn't want to fight.
Sang Bang added: "Still kidney-deficient, no wonder you can't beat that Zhou Xingxing. Now he is the King of Kung Fu, you are becoming obsolete; when the time comes, no woman will pursue you."
The words viciously stabbed into Long Wei's heart.
"Bastard!"
"Ah-dah!"
Long Wei attacked Sang Bang in a fit of rage, wanting to teach this bastard a lesson.
Although he was useless now, he still had some kung fu foundation, and his punching stance was very graceful.
Sang Bang cautiously defended with all his might.
Then...
"???"
Sang Bang felt that the force hitting his arm was no different from a soft woman.
He took a few more moves, still the same ghost of a performance.
"So you're just a small fry!"
Sang Bang felt humiliated!
The master he had been longing for was actually this kind of goods!
Bang~~~
Sang Bang kicked out, sending Long Wei flying three meters away!
"Ouch~~~"
Long Wei knelt on the ground, clutching his stomach, making a strange sound of pain.
Sang Bang lost interest in Long Wei and left, chewing gum.
Not long after, other mall customers walked into the restroom; Long Wei quickly stood up, throwing punches to cover up his stomach pain, though his face was a bit twisted and funny.
Sang Bang left the mall, feeling unlucky.
"This Long Wei is a fake..."
"Could that Zhou Xingxing also be a fake?"
"No, I must test it!"
Sang Bang quickly ran to find Zhou Xingxing.
A new day,
Zhou Xingxing came to another mall to film a commercial.
Huang Bingyao was good to Zhou Xingxing, granting him 2 months of leave.
At this time, "Fight Back to School" had only been released for 25 days, and the box office had already reached 40 million, setting a box office record and locking in the box office champion title early.
And the lead actor Zhou Xingxing naturally became a hot star; many merchants asked him to do commercials, and after being screened by Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, he endorsed two.
Today,
Zhou Xingxing was filming a San Miguel beer commercial at Times Square.
Inside a bar,
The television repeatedly played soccer matches, and a bunch of citizen extras in the bar pretended to be watching the game.
The commercial crew busily moved around, with cameras, reflectors, and lighting equipment all in place.
Zhou Xingxing stood in front of a background made of colorful balloons and San Miguel beer crates.
The content of the commercial was basically everyone drinking and watching the game together, then cheering after a goal, and finally Zhou Xingxing raising his beer to celebrate.
And outside the bar, many fans who heard the news were surrounding it, among them a curly-haired man wearing sunglasses, who was Sang Bang.
Sang Bang looked at Zhou Xingxing filming inside, thinking about how to meet this guy in a place with no one around and have a proper fight.
However, because of the Long Wei incident, he began to look down on Zhou Xingxing's strength a little.
Zhou Xingxing finished filming the commercial and drove away.
Sang Bang drove and followed him.
Zhou Xingxing naturally discovered that someone was following him, but with his brain circuit, he only thought it was fan behavior and didn't care.
Suddenly, his stomach rumbled~~.
"Hiss~~~"
"Oh no, I need to go to the bathroom!"
"Could it be that I drank San Miguel beer?"
Zhou Xingxing looked around; there was a small park with a public restroom built by the Five Star Group.
He parked quickly, clenching his butt, and rushed into the restroom.
Sang Bang got out of the car.
And followed him into the restroom.
At this time, Zhou Xingxing had already entered the restroom and closed the door.
Sang Bang didn't mind the smell at all: "Zhou Xingxing, I want to fight you!"
Zhou Xingxing was stunned for a moment, reacted, and cursed: "Are you crazy!"
Sang Bang: "You are the strongest, I don't believe it, I want to compete with you!"
Zhou Xingxing cursed: "Why would I compete with you for no reason? Get lost!"
He only thought Sang Bang was a crazy fan and didn't think in other directions.
Sang Bang was a bit annoyed: "Coward! It seems you are the same as that Long Wei!"
He turned and left.
Then he took out a landmine and placed it on the ground.
And left.
Zhou Xingxing finished pooping, came out of the restroom, walked a few steps... then...
"Click!!"
This sound is a bit familiar!
Zhou Xingxing looked at the thing under his feet, his eyes widening instantly.
"Damn it!!"
"A landmine?!"
Zhou Xingxing broke into a cold sweat immediately.
As an elite of the Flying Tigers, how could he not recognize this landmine?
"Damn!"
"Are you crazy? I just didn't want to compete with you, and you use a landmine?"
Zhou Xingxing cursed while nervously checking what model the landmine was.
!.
One that pops up to explode?
Zhou Xingxing looked left and right; there wasn't a single stick.
It's okay, don't panic!
He relaxed his foot.
The bomb popped up.
"Ah-dah!"
His foot kicked the bomb out of the restroom in a strange, awkward, and funny style.
"Boom!!!"
Zhou Xingxing sneered; don't you know who I am?
The number one killer of the Flying Tigers!
He came out of the restroom, looked around, and saw a long-haired man running away quickly.
"Bastard!"
"Stop right there!"
Zhou Xingxing chased after him at high speed, but it was too late; Sang Bang got into the car and drove away quickly.
Zhou Xingxing got into his car, but when he wanted to chase, Sang Bang's car was already gone.
"Damn it!"
"Don't let me meet you next time!"
Zhou Xingxing cursed.
Soon,
The news reached Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu.
"Landmine? Competition?"
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's first reaction was Sang Bang, but he had replaced Long Wei with Zhou Xingxing.
"It seems that Doctor and his group have arrived!"
"Very good!"
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu made a phone call to Ah Wah, asking him to find more outsiders and contact major newspapers to report more on the Russian royal jewelry.
At this time, some unwashed dirty cash would come in handy.
A new day,
"July 19 Russian Royal Jewelry Exhibition, cordially invites all wealthy businessmen and celebrities in Hong Kong to attend..."
"Tycoon Li says..."
"Tycoon Liu says..."
"Rumor has it that jewelry tycoon Mr. Zheng..."
"The old matriarch of the Li family loves collecting jewelry; is there anything that can compare..."
All kinds of news were flying everywhere.
Now, the attention of all Hong Kong citizens was attracted.
The exhibitor of the Russian royal jewelry exhibition was stunned at this moment.
"What the hell?"
"I didn't do this promotion."
"Could it be that the cooperative partner, the Grand Hyatt Hotel, did it?"
Thinking about it, that was the only possibility.
"This Grand Hyatt Hotel is not bad!"
And on the Grand Hyatt Hotel side, they also thought it was the work of the partner, the jewelry exhibitor, feeling: as expected of jewelry people, they are generous.
So, under mutual misunderstanding, no one discovered the third party.
And under the reports of these newspapers, many wealthy businessmen and celebrities soon called, expressing great interest in this jewelry exhibition and wanting to attend.
Li family, old matriarch's villa.
This is a mobile villa located in Deep Water Bay.
The villa is surrounded by a carefully maintained garden, with lush trees, flowers, and a pond where a few goldfish swim leisurely.
Breakfast room,
The old matriarch of the Li family is wearing a well-tailored cheongsam; although her hair is gray, it is combed meticulously.
After her husband died, she supported the Li family alone, letting it gradually grow; today, she is confident, wise, and calm, the anchor of the Li family.
"Jewelry exhibition?"
"Russian royal family?"
The old matriarch is wearing reading glasses, looking at today's newspaper; the headline is exactly "The old matriarch of the Li family loves collecting jewelry; is there anything that can compare...".
Originally, she didn't have much interest in this kind of jewelry exhibition, but now thinking of the jewelry she collected, she suddenly became interested.
She called the butler: "Call and ask who is going to visit the jewelry."
The butler lowered his head: "Yes, I'll go right away!"
Not long after,
The butler returned and reported: "According to the jewelry exhibitor's reply, those attending the banquet include Tycoon Guo, the American consul and his wife, more than a dozen wealthy people confirmed to go... It is said that Tycoon Zheng is also preparing to go..."
When the old matriarch heard that Tycoon Guo and the American consul and his wife were all going, it matched her status, so she decided to go too.
"Tell the jewelry exhibitor that I'm going too!"
"Okay, Madam."
Another new day,
Central, Government House.
It is another busy day for the Governor.
Governor Wei Dewei got up early in the morning, drank a cup of coffee, started swimming in the pool inside Government House, and then walked for exercise in the garden.
Central is the most prosperous commercial district, and what about Government House? It created a huge garden directly in Central, totaling 24,000 square meters, facing south, looking up at Victoria Peak.
After the morning exercise,
The Governor started to go back to have breakfast,
While eating breakfast, he read English newspapers.
Among them was the news of the Russian royal jewelry exhibition.
However, he had no interest in the jewelry exhibition and skipped it directly.
After breakfast, people came to report one after another.
A busy and fulfilling day.
In Hong Kong, the Governor's power is similar to an emperor, but considering that there are Britain and the mainland above, it is more accurately a prime minister with great power.
And Wei Dewei is 56 years old this year, a former diplomat who has studied Chinese history; he was a major participant in the "Joint Declaration."
10:23 AM,
The Chairman of the Legislative Council, Hunter, brought the "Legislative Councilor Candidate List (Pending)" to Government House.
"Governor!"
Hunter was respectful.
This was his first time reporting the list of legislative councilors to the Governor.
This Legislative Council will eventually elect: 3 official members, 18 non-official members, 18 directly elected members, and 21 members elected by functional constituencies.
A total of 60 seats!
-- Official members: The Chief Secretary, Financial Secretary, and Secretary for Justice automatically become members of the Legislative Council.
-- Non-official members: Non-government figures selected by the Governor.
-- Directly elected members: 9 districts, 18 seats elected by the public (the ones Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu wants to run for).
-- Functional (constituency) group members: that is, the Heung Yee Kuk, agriculture and fisheries, insurance, education, legal, accounting, medical and health, engineering, business, industrial, financial...
The list is very long,
Directly elected members, 9 districts, each district has five or six people running.
And the functional constituencies are also very numerous, with a list of more than 100 people.
"Governor, these circled ones are our people. And these (underlined) are the leftists' people."
Hunter introduced the list carefully.
Because there were too many candidates, more than 180, densely packed, making the 56-year-old Governor feel a bit dizzy.
However,
The Legislative Council is the most critical of all, and the Governor still asked about them one by one.
"Wait..."
The Governor soon stopped at a name.
"Is this Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu the one who has been quite active recently?"
