Chapter 387

Time finally reached noon.

TVB, sharpening their knives, finally started the slaughter!

According to the instructions of Fang Anxin and Aunt Fang,

report fiercely!

Make all Hong Kong citizens realize Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's "true face"!

"Fellow viewers... this morning, something unbelievable happened at the Five Star Group."

"Recently, 'Operation Bright Mirror', which has been continuously cracking down on tax evasion, came to the Five Star Group because the action team received a report that the Five Star Group has serious tax evasion behavior..."

On the television screen, it was broadcasting the scene of tax personnel rushing into the Five Star Group and being blocked.

As for the shot of Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu appearing and generously agreeing to let them in to audit taxes, it was cut out.

"And for the arrival of the tax audit team of 'Operation Bright Mirror', the Five Star Group showed extreme resistance!"

"Why resist? What exactly is hidden?"

The spring-and-autumn brush technique was used very skillfully.

"Here, we can't help but ask!"

The host was righteous: "The Five Star Group has always been known for justice and charity, spending over a billion to build a charity hospital, liking to do good deeds, and Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu himself is a Legislative Councilor, taking a salary of nearly a million every year, and even declaring righteously in interviews that one cannot evade taxes..."

"Now, the Five Star Group is actually involved in a tax evasion storm, and even resisted the tax audit!"

"Why?"

"Could it be that this Mr. Guan is not as charitable, righteous, and legal as he appears..."

The screen specifically showed the righteous image of the 'Operation Bright Mirror' audit team leader, as well as the photo of the Five Star Group security human wall blocking the tax audit team from entering.

The two formed a sharp contrast.

"Everyone can see that the Five Star Group is blocking the tax personnel of 'Operation Bright Mirror'..."

"What are they doing? Resisting law enforcement?"

"Knowing the law and breaking it?"

"Is it guilty conscience?"

"Could it be that the Five Star Group really has tax evasion? Could that Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, who has always called himself righteous, be knowing the law and breaking it?"

This news report was much more intuitive and sharp than the radio station's report.

Especially the contrast between the two pictures, which was very targeted.

And the host's words were also full of guidance.

On the streets and in the alleys, citizens gathered in front of the TV, watching this report from TVB, and suddenly exploded.

"No way?"

"Resisting law enforcement?"

"What the hell is the Five Star Group doing? Usually looking glamorous, doing charity, donating hospitals, but didn't expect that behind the scenes they might be evading taxes and blocking tax personnel?"

"I don't believe Mr. Guan would evade taxes!"

"I don't believe it either."

"He donates so much money, why would he still evade taxes?"

Soon, in various places in Hong Kong, disputes and quarrels appeared one after another.

Some believed in Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, while others felt that since the news reported it, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu must have a problem.

"The security human wall is already pulled up; it's obvious they don't want to let the tax personnel audit. If they didn't have a guilty conscience, why do this?"

"Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu usually looks like a gentleman, is a Legislative Councilor, takes a high salary, and always talks about justice and law-abiding in public. Now it's good, he's been targeted by 'Operation Bright Mirror'. I think, eight out of ten, he's knowing the law and breaking it!"

"TVB news, just believe half of it. The kneeling incident of the police last time wasn't it also cut out of context?"

"That's right, you believe TVB news? I'd rather believe Mr. Guan."

The entire Hong Kong, because of this report by TVB, Five Star Group and Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu were instantly shrouded in a storm of public opinion of doubt.

In the areas covered by the Five Star Group, most people believed in and supported Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu.

In places outside the coverage area, most citizens felt Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu had a problem.

Public opinion was spreading...

"Have you heard... blah blah blah~~~"

Office conversations, dining gossip, street chats... they spread throughout Hong Kong through various ways.

And at the center of the storm—inside the Five Star Group building,

Fang Ting was extremely angry: "This TVB, taking things out of context, deliberately provoking conflict... Brother Zu, should we go out and clarify through ATV immediately?"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was calm and composed,

"No need!"

"Let public opinion ferment a bit more."

"The more people who are angry, the better."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's gaze passed through the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the bustling street scene of Hong Kong.

Although public opinion outside had already set off a stormy sea, it was just one step in his chess game.

Fang Ting: "But TVB's report is too annoying, running to our Five Star to interview, and even scolding our Five Star."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu said casually: "Then just don't let them enter the Five Star Group building."

Fang Ting's eyes lit up: "This is good!"

Not far downstairs, Chaoshan fish ball noodle shop,

TVB reporters were having lunch with the tax audit team not far away.

"How is it? Did you find anything this morning?" the TVB reporter team leader asked the tax audit team leader.

"Not yet. The finance of this Five Star Group has some techniques, watertight. We can't find it all of a sudden... but this matter can't be rushed. As long as we are willing to audit, we will definitely find it. I have been in the industry for more than 20 years and have never seen an enterprise that really pays taxes in full."

The audit team leader was full of confidence.

*Beep beep beep~~*

At this time, the TVB reporter team leader received a call.

It was a call from TVB's marketing department, which had obtained the real-time first-hand ratings from AGB (collected through "personal viewing recording instruments").

The noon ratings actually exceeded 70!

"Ratings 70?"

The reporter team leader slapped the table happily!

"What? Over 70?"

Other reporters were pleasantly surprised one after another.

"Great!"

"This time our TVB has finally raised its head."

A group of TVB reporters were full of joy.

Some time ago, TVB news was crushed by ATV, and Fang Aunt's stingy personality flared up, starting to lower their bonuses.

Now that the ratings are back, the bonuses will naturally come back.

As for the "authenticity" of the report?

TVB actually didn't report falsely; the photos were real, the attitude was real, it's just that they didn't report that Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu allowed them to enter the Five Star Group to audit taxes later.

Although it was a bit out of context, it didn't count as fake news.

Soon, a group of people finished lunch and returned to the Five Star Group, preparing to continue working.

A group of TVB reporters had their enthusiasm soar, shouting loudly.

However, just as they arrived at the entrance of the Five Star Group building...

The security guards of the Five Star Group blocked the way of the TVB reporters.

"Sorry, from now on, our Five Star Group does not accept interviews from TVB, please go back."

Taibao guest-starred as the security captain, sticking out his big belly, head held high.

The TVB reporters suddenly exploded, shouting one after another:

"Why? We want press freedom! Citizens need the truth; you are hindering the public's right to know!"

"We have been following up on the report all morning; now you suddenly won't let us in, what's going on?"

Just then,

ATV reporters walked over from the side, with unconcealable pride on their faces.

"Sorry..."

"From now on, it's taken over by our ATV!"

"As for the citizens' right to know, don't bother you TVB."

*Pfft! *

What is my status, what is your status?

What kind of grade are you, to have the same treatment as me!

TVB reporters: "............"

So angry!

Too arrogant, too annoying, really want to hit someone!

And, it's too familiar!

Every big news, it's ATV entering the venue, while they TVB are blocked outside the door.

Do we TVB have no human rights!

Just like that, TVB reporters watched as the ATV reporter team walked into the Five Star Group building swaggeringly.

Not convinced!

I want press freedom!

MAGA!!

The newspaper reporters beside them were gloating in misfortune.

"Hahaha~~~"

They also watched TVB's news at noon today, and naturally knew that TVB took things out of context and deliberately provoked hatred.

"This TVB, its integrity is actually as low as our newspapers!" "Wasn't it the same during the kneeling incident last time?"

"Tsk tsk tsk~~~"

At this time,

TVB building,

Aunt Fang was in the office, listening to the secretary report the ratings, very happy.

Sure enough, cooperating with Fang Anxin was right.

The ratings are back.

Then,

a call came from the frontline, and her mood was suddenly not beautiful.

In one look/p>

After calming her emotions, she arranged: "If you can't get in, you can't get in... You communicate with the tax audit team, pass the information to you at any time, and our TVB's reports will not be less."

Reporter team leader: "Yes!"

And at this time,

Five Star Group, upstairs.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's office.

Ah Wah brought a "fake" videotape and sent it to Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu here.

The videotape played, and it was the voices of two men:

"The previous paving is finished. Tomorrow, the tax bureau will officially take action to audit the Five Star Group. And TVB has long reached a cooperation with our leadership to target Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu and the Five Star Group, making them lose their reputation."

"Did you find an excuse? You can't just audit the Five Star Group for no reason, right?"

"Excuse? Too simple, we can just forge a few report letters! Anyway, our tax bureau has a rule to protect whistleblowers!"

"High, really high!"

"Actually, the whole 'Operation Bright Mirror' is not to audit taxes, but to deal with this Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu. The previous companies being audited were just to pave the way... Did you see the interview with Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu yesterday? That interview was deliberately arranged for the reporter to interview Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, also on purpose..."

"The leader is ruthless, actually using this method to frame Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu."

"Can they not be ruthless? After all, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu sent her sister to prison; this is a deep grudge."

"Tomorrow the tax audit will enter the Five Star Group, and then cooperate with TVB's report... *tsk tsk*, this Five Star Group won't die but will lose a layer of skin."

"Who says it isn't? I've been auditing taxes for more than ten years and have seen it all. Which company in Hong Kong doesn't evade taxes? It just depends on whether you audit or not. The Five Star Group must have evaded taxes too. Once audited, it will be accurate, and by then Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu won't be able to wash himself clean even if he jumps into the Yellow River."

"This idea is simply too absolute; the leader is too amazing."

"The leader is naturally amazing, otherwise how can they be a leader? The leader is a Deputy Secretary after all, wanting to destroy whoever they want... let alone Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, even the Four Great Families, if they want to mess with them, they mess with them!"

"Wow~~ amazing!"

"Do you know what power means? It refers to the ability to control, dominate, and influence social resources, public affairs, and the behavior of others!"

"Oh~~~ understood!"

*Click~~~*

The recording ended.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu smiled and gave Ah Wah a thumbs up.

This recording is actually fake; it was specifically recorded by Ah Wah finding two loyal subordinates and following the written script. Especially the last sentence.

Since Fang Anxin wants to play dirty.

I, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, will accompany her to the end!

I, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, am a gangster after all; when it comes to playing dirty, I am the founder.

If the Five Star Group really evaded taxes, Fang Anxin's scheme would have succeeded.

But Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu likes to do good deeds, and the Five Star Group pays taxes in full, impeccable, a wall of sighs, just giving Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu a chance to counterattack.

And this recording is to splash dirty water on Fang Anxin.

However...

The time is not ripe yet!

Let the bullets fly for a while!

Night, 19:00,

TVB continues to report:

"At noon today, the Five Star Group refused to let TVB enter the Five Star Group building to interview the progress of the tax audit... Why did they refuse? Other enterprises didn't refuse. Could it be that the Five Star Group is covering up something?"

"Here we can't help but ask, what about our Hong Kong's press freedom?"

"What about our citizens' right to know?"

Then, all Hong Kong citizens continued to be angry...

More and more citizens began to question Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu.

However, those citizens covered by Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's support rate still supported Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu.

Unwaveringly!

Don't you understand the gold content of the support rate!

Financial Secretary building,

Fang Anxin's office.

Time: 20:10,

ATV News has just ended and broadcasted the first episode of "The File of Justice".

However, in the ATV news just now, there was no clarification news about Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, and the Five Star Group didn't move at all, as if nothing had happened.

Fang Anxin stood by the office, looking down at the bustling street lights and traffic in Central through the floor-to-ceiling window.

Her brows were tightly furrowed,

TVB was reporting vigorously there, and ATV had no reaction at all.

She always felt a sense of unease about this matter, always feeling that she had missed something somewhere.

*Beep beep beep~~~*

"Anxin, the son and daughter-in-law are coming back tonight, coming home for dinner?"

"No time today." Fang Anxin said.

"You have no time all day? Are you that busy?" the husband said with dissatisfaction.

"Sorry, I really have no time today." Fang Anxin said impatiently.

"Forget it, go do your career." The husband hung up the phone angrily.

Fang Anxin's husband was not the kind of person with a background; he joined the Hong Kong Auxiliary Police Force in 1953 as a reserve police officer.

Hmm... reserve police officer, like the auxiliary police in later generations, the salary is much worse than formal police officers.

Then in 1987, he officially served as the Commissioner of the Hong Kong Auxiliary Police Force, the third Chinese head of the Hong Kong Auxiliary Police Force.

Of course, the power was still not as great as the regular police officers of the police force, and he was basically not called to any high-level meetings.

And he played the role of "volunteer driver" for a long time, picking up and dropping off Fang Anxin and their children to work and school through wind and rain; this role lasted for twenty years.

Fang Anxin also expressed to the outside world that her career achievements were inseparable from the understanding and support of her family, especially the support of her husband; it was he who made her a successful woman.

As for whether everyone believes it, anyway, Fang Anxin herself doesn't believe it.

*Knock knock knock~~*

At this time, a knock on the door broke the silence.

"Come in."

The door was pushed open, and the leader of the tax audit team, with two assistants, walked in.

They were wearing neat and tidy uniforms, but the continuous busy work of the day made the corners of their clothes slightly wrinkled, and their faces were tired.

"Secretary!" *3

Fang Anxin looked at them with sharp eyes: "I hope you can bring me good news."

"Secretary,"

"I'm sorry, we haven't rested for a moment all day today, but... we didn't find any solid evidence of Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's tax evasion."

The team leader signaled to the side, and the assistant hurriedly handed over a thick document,

"This is a detailed audit report. The accounts of the Five Star Group are extremely precise and complex. Every income and expenditure has clear and explicit vouchers, and the tax declaration process is also seamless and fully compliant."

"We dug deep along some clues, expanded the scope of the audit, and visited many related enterprises, but still found nothing."

The team leader was also very helpless.

It was just a tax audit; for them, the difficulty was not very high.

Especially for a new company like the Five Star Group that was only a year old, lacking financial talent, with a pile of various problems, it was easier to find out, and they could find the problem and follow the vine to find the melon in half a day.

As a result...

They tried hard to audit, but couldn't find any problems at all.

Magical!

"How is that possible?" Fang Anxin frowned, staring at the tax team leader, "You have so many people, spent a whole day, and gave me such a result? How could Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu have no flaws? Did you slack off!"

"You are my most trusted subordinates!"

Fang Anxin looked disappointed and angry.

The audit team leader hurriedly said: "Secretary, maybe the Five Star Group is too cunning. Tomorrow, we will definitely work harder to audit tomorrow!"
