Chapter 412: 405

In the evening,

Director Guan Zu and Ruan Mei went to the Fang family's house for dinner; it was actually just going upstairs and downstairs.

As soon as they went downstairs, they saw Zhou Xingxing circling around Fang Min:

"Ah Min, why are you angry?"

"Hmph!"

"Tell me!"

"Hmph!"

Director Guan Zu didn't know where he took out melon seeds, savoring them, and by the way, shared half with Ruan Mei.

Director Guan Zu wanted to tell Zhou Xingxing that it was useless to ask when a woman was angry; just go straight for it.

Seeing Director Guan Zu and Ruan Mei arrive, Zhou Xingxing and Fang Min stopped their "bickering," and Fang Min took Ruan Mei's hand into the Fang family's house.

Zhou Xingxing scratched his head and came to Director Guan Zu: "I don't know why, Ah Min has been ignoring me lately. When I ask her, she won't say."

Director Guan Zu patted Zhou Xingxing on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Ah Mei will ask clearly later."

Zhou Xingxing hehehe~~~

At 19:40, all the dishes were served.

Saliva chicken, braised pork trotters with peanuts, steamed eggs with shrimp, shredded pork with green peppers, steamed squid, stir-fried cabbage, Hakka pan-fried tofu, corn and carrot pork rib soup...

Director Guan Zu, Ruan Mei, Grandma Cai, as well as Sister Ling, Fang Fang Zhanbo, Fang Fang, Fang Ting, Fang Min, and Zhou Xingxing...

"Sister Ling, a toast to you..."

Director Guan Zu raised his glass to toast Sister Ling.

Sister Ling smiled: "Thank you, Boss!"

She was very satisfied with her current life; the youngest, Fang Min, had already been admitted to university, and the others had all started their careers, it was just that they hadn't married yet, which made her worry.

However, she also saw that Fang Ting's heart was tied to Director Guan Zu, and Ruan Mei didn't mind, so she couldn't be bothered to care.

Not long after, the ATV news on TV was almost finished.

What followed was "Justice Bao."

Now "Justice Bao" had been broadcast to the 16th episode, which was the climax of the "Civet Cat for Crown Prince" plot.

During the Renzong period, a blind old woman, Li, and her adopted daughter, Meiniang, lived in the countryside selling vegetables to make a living. Li kept calling herself "Aijia" (the royal 'I') to Meiniang. It turned out that Concubine Li had given birth to a dragon son, but Concubine Liu, out of jealousy, conspired with the eunuch Guo Huai to swap Concubine Li's baby with a skinned civet cat and threw Concubine Li into the cold palace. Concubine Li suffered in the cold palace, and later, with great difficulty, escaped and drifted to the folk.

Through a series of difficult investigations and deductions, Bao Zheng gradually approached the truth. He did not fear power, and he did not retreat in the face of various obstacles and threats, swearing to clear Concubine Li's grievances. At this time, the court was also changing, with various forces surging in the dark. Loyal ministers and righteous people like the Eight Virtuous Kings supported Bao Zheng in thoroughly investigating the case, but Concubine Liu and her party tried every means to obstruct it, attempting to cover up the crimes of that year.

Director Guan Zu and the others watched TV while eating.

It had to be said that even though Director Guan Zu had seen it twice in his previous life, he couldn't help but be attracted now.

Moreover, inserting it halfway didn't affect the viewing experience at all.

At the beginning of the month, when the first episode of "Justice Bao" premiered, it set off a ratings frenzy in Hong Kong like a heavy bomb.

That majestic and upright Bao Zheng, the white-faced scholar Gongsun Ce who was intelligent, and Zhan Zhao, who was skilled in martial arts and chivalrous, grabbed the eyes of Hong Kong citizens as soon as they appeared.

The opening of the first episode was Bao Zheng seeking justice for an old woman who had been wronged; Bao Zheng's angry glare in the courtroom and his resounding questioning made the evildoers have nowhere to hide, and the people below the stage clapped and cheered one after another.

Hong Kong citizens could feel the power of justice through the screen and were instantly brought into that Northern Song world where good and evil were clearly distinguished.

Since then, 2 episodes were broadcast every day, and every day it was broadcast, every episode's plot made Hong Kong citizens intoxicated.

On the streets and alleys, people were talking about Justice Bao solving cases, and what evildoers Zhan Zhao had punished.

After tea and dinner, neighbors gathered, and the topic always couldn't leave the wonderful plot in the play.

With the deepening of the plot, the reputation of ATV's "Justice Bao" rolled bigger and bigger like a snowball.

Hong Kong citizens were attracted by the interlocking cases and vivid three-dimensional characters in the play.

Almost every night, they would guard in front of the TV, not wanting to miss every detail.

And just yesterday,

The ratings of "Justice Bao" had reached 85%, crushing TVB's programs in the same period with an overwhelming advantage.

The entire Hong Kong was immersed in this "Justice Bao fever."

Just how popular was it?

Hmm, hotter than the one in Los Angeles, even hotter!

And on TVB's side,

Concubine Fang, Liang Liang Shuyi, and many senior executives were also beaten by this "Justice Bao" without any temper.

They were holding a meeting to discuss countermeasures, trying to find themes and production methods that could compete with it.

"Now ATV's 'Justice Bao' ratings are too terrifying, and advertisers have all run to them."

"And I heard they prepared more than 300 episodes, enough to play for half a year... if this continues, our TVB won't have to live!"

"We must fight back!"

"How to fight back?"

Liang Liang Shuyi: "They put out Justice Bao, we put out Justice Bao!"

Everyone: "Ah?"

Liang Liang Shuyi: "We have to do our own 'Justice Bao'! Invite famous actors, quickly set up a team, write a script, shoot it, and broadcast it immediately..."

Concubine Fang made the decision: "Good! Just do it!"

It only took one day,

An actor named Ti Lung was signed to a contract to play Justice Bao, and there was also an actor named Felix Wong to play Zhan Zhao.

……

……

January 12,

There were still 16 days until the opening of Five Star Supermarket.

On the Central Plaza side, after 12 days of handover, Five Star Real Estate officially received all the information about Central Plaza from the Guo family in Hong Kong.

Officially moved into the project company.

"Boss Huang, happy cooperation in the future!"

"Happy cooperation!"

Director Guan Zu and Young Master Huang (Kerry Properties) of Singapore shook hands.

Click~~~

The photo froze, representing that Central Plaza had officially entered a new stage.

Currently, the shareholders of Central Plaza are: Five Star Group (45%), the Huang family (35%), Kerry Properties (10%), Ryoden Development (5%), and other scattered shareholders (5%).

End of meeting.

Director Guan Zu sat in the black Chevrolet, returned to the Five Star Group building, and thought about the candidate for "Internal Inspection Commissioner."

The Five Star Group was now thriving, and most employees were united, with no problems for the time being.

So Director Guan Zu had never established an "Internal Inspection Department."

However,

Now the Central Plaza project involved cooperation with another group, so a professional "Internal Inspection Department" was needed.

This department needed to be put on the agenda.

Who should be the department head?

Director Guan Zu's first reaction—Zhang Zhang Guobiao.

But after thinking about it, Director Guan Zu shook his head again; although Zhang Zhang Guobiao was a genius and a professional from the ICAC, his loyalty was still only 53%.

Suddenly,

A person appeared in Director Guan Zu's mind.

Wang Weiye!

That is, the absolutely righteous and serious policeman in "That Demon Within."

Last time, Director Guan Zu asked Wang Weiye to see a psychologist, and the Five Star Charity Foundation would be responsible for this part of the psychological treatment expenses.

Now he didn't know the situation.

Director Guan Zu called Brother Da Tou: "What is the situation with that Wang Weiye I asked you to pay attention to?"

Brother Da Tou: "Wang Weiye? Let me check, wait a moment... checked, he has been transferred to the Wan Chai Police Station now, standing guard at the entrance of the Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital... good guy, he has been transferred 4 times in these few months."

Director Guan Zu: "…………"

6!!

Director Guan Zu: "Did he see a psychologist? Who is the psychologist?"

Brother Da Tou: "The psychologist is Li Xin'er, at Tung Wah Eastern Hospital... does Brother Zu want to call? Her office phone is 62173..."

Li Xin'er?

Isn't this that Fang Jiexia... uh... Li Xin'er in "Infernal Affairs"?

Director Guan Zu dialed Li Xin'er's phone.

"Hello, this is Li Xin'er from the Psychological Counseling Department of Tung Wah Eastern Hospital..."

"Hello, Dr. Li Xin'er, I am Director Guan Zu of the Five Star Group." "Mr. Director Guan? Hello, I wonder what's the matter?"

"It's like this, I have a police friend named Wang Weiye who has always had psychological problems, and I asked him to see a psychologist later... now I want to understand his current psychological state."

If it were someone else, Li Xin'er might not tell others about the patient's situation out of professional ethics.

But Director Guan Zu was different; on one hand, Director Guan Zu's character was known to all Hong Kong citizens, and on the other hand, Wang Weiye's high psychological treatment expenses were paid by the Five Star Charity Foundation.

Li Xin'er: "Regarding Mr. Wang Weiye, his current psychological state is good, and he has basically recovered, but he still needs continuous treatment. As long as he overcomes that inner hurdle, he will definitely recover completely."

Director Guan Zu: "Good, I have a question I want to consult your professional opinion on: if I hire him as an 'Internal Inspection Commissioner' for the group, specifically to investigate internal corruption problems, do you think it will affect his psychological problems? Will his psychological problems affect the company?"

Li Xin'er's answer was quick: "No, his current psychological problems have basically been handled... but psychological treatment cannot stop until he is fully recovered."

Director Guan Zu: "Thank you very much, Dr. Li... I wonder if Dr. Li is interested in working at Mingxin Hospital? Mingxin Hospital lacks talents like Dr. Li."

Li Xin'er could provide psychological counseling to Lau Kin-ming and Chen Yongren, and she also cooperated with the police, so her professional ability must not be bad.

Li Xin'er: "Thank you for Mr. Director Guan's invitation, but I don't have any thoughts of leaving Tung Wah Eastern Hospital for the time being."

"That's a great pity~~~"

Please... you... collect 6... 9... book.... bar....!

After Director Guan Zu hung up the phone, he said to Zhou Xingxing: "Go to the Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital..."

The Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital is in Happy Valley, which is the racecourse where the charity performance was held last time.

Arrived at the Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital soon.

Just got out of the car, and just happened to meet the old matriarch of the Li family, drunk and dizzy, being supported by the eldest daughter of the Li family, walking down the stairs.

"Mom... be careful..."

Director Guan Zu and the old matriarch of the Li family's eyes met.

"Mr. Director Guan..."

"Old Mrs. Li..."

The two nodded slightly and brushed past each other.

The old matriarch of the Li family got into the car, the car door closed, and she said to the eldest daughter of the Li family: "Be careful of this Director Guan Zu..."

Eldest daughter of the Li family: "Ah?"

Director Guan Zu had a good reputation and had also borrowed money in time to save the second daughter of the Li family. Why did the old matriarch say to be careful of Director Guan Zu?

Old matriarch of the Li family: "I have seen countless people. Today is the first time I have seen this Director Guan Zu. I haven't met him face-to-face before. Now that I see him face-to-face, I feel that this person seems polite, but actually hides a sharp edge, and has ill intentions toward our Li family... be careful when dealing with him in the future."

Recently, although the Li family was chaotic, the old matriarch of the Li family relied on old ginseng from time to time to hang on to her vitality, temporarily stabilizing the chaotic situation of the Li family.

Eldest daughter of the Li family was serious: "Good."

……

In Hong Kong hospitals, there will be special police posts.

Although the public order of the hospital is still managed by the hospital's security system, the police at the police post will tightly guard their posts, perform police duties, and dispatch police force at any time to prevent medical disturbances, playing a deterrent role.

Therefore, many gangsters who were slashed, after being injured, felt afraid when they heard they were going to the hospital, because they all knew that going to the hospital was equivalent to going to the police station.

With the police officer there, the medical staff can rest assured.

Director Guan Zu took Li Fu and came to the emergency room.

Perhaps it was just the shift change, and he saw two police officers wearing police uniforms walking in front of Director Guan Zu and entering the emergency room.

And the sound of their conversation just happened to come over.

"This Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital is a place for rich people, so how could there be trouble..."

"Isn't this just right? It's quiet enough, and there won't be trouble like other hospitals."

"That's right, haha..."

"Hey, it's quiet, but the only thing that's an eyesore is that Wang Weiye."

"Exactly, this Wang Weiye always makes a very serious look, and there's no leader, who is he doing it for."

"Right, he even criticized me for reading 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' at work. He's not my leader, why does he manage so broadly!"

The two police officers discussed while walking.

Director Guan Zu didn't go to stop them from discussing or criticizing; he didn't have such a heavy fatherly air.

Following all the way,

Soon they came to the police post, and just happened to see Wang Weiye with his police cap worn straight, his collar neat and tidy, and he himself was sitting straight on the chair at the post, facing the window, with a solemn face.

The two police officers complained:

"Fake serious!"

"Makes me want to flatten him!"

"Why not transfer him away? It's disgusting to look at!"

Their discussion was not small, not afraid of Wang Weiye hearing it at all, or they were doing it on purpose to stimulate Wang Weiye.

However, Wang Weiye had learned real skills from Li Xin'er: "You don't need to care about what anyone says, just insist on yourself." Or even more crudely: "They are pigs, they are pigs!"

Then, he directly ignored these two police officers.

The two police officers: "…………"

Even angrier!

Angry and unable to do anything about Wang Weiye!

Soon,

Wang Weiye finished his shift and was officially off work.

Wang Weiye neatly packed up his documents and pens, and then went off work.

He didn't walk far,

"Weiye!"

A familiar voice came.

Wang Weiye turned his head to look and saw Director Guan Zu looking at him with a smile.

"Mr. Director Guan!"

Wang Weiye felt warm in his heart, and the images of Director Guan Zu helping him and opening his heart in the past couldn't help but appear in his mind.

Moreover, he himself had a little worship for Director Guan Zu.

"Mr. Director Guan, why are you here?"

Director Guan Zu smiled: "I have something to find you, you should be off work, right? Let's go, let's have a meal together."

Wang Weiye's personality was a bit dull, he hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Good... okay, Mr. Director Guan."

Soon,

Wang Weiye got into Director Guan Zu's black Chevrolet and drove all the way back to Causeway Bay.

"What do you like to eat?"

"Anything is fine."

"Then claypot rice..."

Director Guan Zu had recently fallen in love with preserved meat claypot rice; the rice couldn't be soft, and the scorched rice on the edges had to be charred yellow.

Director Guan Zu ordered a portion of preserved meat claypot rice, Fang Ting, Zhou Xingxing, and Li Fu each ordered a portion of beef fillet, pork ribs, and slippery chicken claypot rice, and Wang Weiye ordered a portion of fish belly claypot rice.

Director Guan Zu shook his head; none of them knew how to eat!

Claypot rice + preserved meat is the perfect match!

After waiting for more than ten minutes, when the steaming claypot rice was served, Director Guan Zu took the soy sauce and circled around the edge of the pot, and this little soy sauce was enough.

Then he crushed the taro.

Next, he began to shovel the scorched rice, shoveled it all up, mixed it with white rice, preserved meat, taro paste, and mixed vegetables, stir, stir, stir~~~~

A portion of mixed claypot rice was ready.

Take a bite,

The rice grains were distinct, the surface was cooked into a layer of golden crispy scorched rice, it made a "crunch" sound when bitten, and the charred aroma instantly overflowed between the teeth, every bite was full of the fat aroma of Chinese sausage, the cured aroma of cured meat...

Perfect!

Look at Fang Ting again, beef fillet claypot rice, because the marinated beef fillet had too much water, the rice was a bit too wet, and it didn't look delicious at all.

However, Fang Ting: "I can't finish it, I'll give a part to you..."

Then she scooped the wet part to Director Guan Zu.

Director Guan Zu ate it with tears in his eyes, then gave a thumbs up: "Delicious!"

Moved to tears, isn't it!
