Chapter 472: 460 Fatty Peng: I've already come this far, and you're still chasing me to kill me!

On the television,

"Starting from tomorrow,"

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu said solemnly, "I will head to Tunmen, Yuen Long East... to conduct presentations of the proposal... so that citizens can more clearly understand this plan."

"At that time, nearby neighbors and residents can come over and ask me any questions, and I will do my best to answer them."

Soon,

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's exclusive interview ended.

The television screen began to switch to ATV's new drama: *The Pride of Chaozhou*.

In the broadcast hall, Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu instructed Wen Wen Huixin: "In the next few days, send out more reporters to conduct street interviews with citizens, asking them about their attitude toward my proposal."

"In addition, go deep into those subdivided flats and cage homes, film more material, and put it on the news for broadcast."

"Right, have Ah Zhen go with me to film the scene of residents living in subdivided flats..."

"We must push this plan with all our might!"

Wen Wen Huixin was solemn: "Yes, boss, I will definitely get it done!"

At this moment, she was filled with admiration for Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu.

If there were a platform that could allow her to fully display her talents, that would be a very fortunate thing.

If this platform, beyond just displaying talents, could also allow her to realize a higher level of social value—contributing to improving people's livelihoods and promoting social fairness and justice—that would be a blessing in her life!

Although the interview was over, Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's proposal had undoubtedly dropped a public opinion nuclear bomb on Hong Kong Island.

Countless neighborhood citizens, living in narrow houses this night, tossed and turned, unable to sleep at all.

"Brother, if it could really be like what Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan said, if we could move into low-cost housing and never have to squeeze into this palm-sized place again, that would be great."

"Yeah, our 12-square-meter place houses 6 people, sigh..."

The same scene was happening all over Hong Kong.

Major newspapers across Hong Kong.

At this time, the offices were all brightly lit.

Over at the *Oriental Daily News*,

"What about tomorrow's news headline?"

"The Viceroy's secretary's office has sent word, wanting us to put the Viceroy's political reform report on the front-page headline."

"But the money offered isn't much..."

"Usually the Viceroy can take the headline, but now I see that news about the 'Demon King Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan' is something citizens should be more interested in."

"That's right~~ The Viceroy's stuff, only wealthy families above the middle class are interested. But that 'Demon King Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan' stuff, all Hong Kong citizens will be interested, so in terms of sales, the 'Demon King Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan' story will definitely be higher."

Take the money?

Or go for sales?

This was something the *Oriental Daily News*, and many other newspapers, had to consider tonight.

"Ring ring ring~~~"

At this moment, the editor-in-chief received a call: "Someone is paying, 100,000, to buy the headline..."

"What's the content?"

"Exposing the conspiracy behind Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's proposal!"

"Conspiracy? Wait... the ones paying, it's those bosses of the real estate companies, right?"

"You guessed it."

Now, it was even more chaotic.

There would be a show to watch tomorrow.

Downstairs from Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's home, at the Chaoshan fish ball noodle shop.

"Slurp~~~"

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu took a slurp, eating the soft rice noodles, fried fish skin, and fresh, sweet soup from his spoon into his mouth.

Chewing deliciously.

In his other hand, he held a copy of the *Oriental Daily News*, reading the content on it.

*Low-Cost Housing Proposal? Refuting 10 Loopholes in Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's Proposal! *

"Yesterday, the low-cost housing construction proposal put forward by Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu sparked heated social discussion; this newspaper now provides a detailed analysis for public reference."

"Note: This newspaper upholds the principle of fairness and impartiality, and will never add fuel to the fire!"

For some reason, Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu saw a pitiful 'begging for mercy' emoji in this sentence.

"First, funding collection faces heavy obstacles. Given the current official credibility of the Housing Department, citizens may be quite cautious in investing, making it difficult to guarantee that sufficient funds can be raised... The only solution is for the Five Star Group to take the lead, referring to the Central Plaza fund project to raise the fund."

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

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu saw this and retracted his 20-meter-long blade.

My blade is very fast; next time, please be earlier, otherwise you'd already be dead.

"Second, fair distribution is difficult to achieve... Only if the Five Star Group takes the lead, as it is the most conscientious enterprise, recognized by the citizens..."

"Third, there are numerous obstacles to land acquisition..."

"Fourth, it will cause an impact on the surrounding commercial housing market..."

"Fifth, the difficulty of later maintenance..."

"Sixth: The difficulty of fund supervision is extreme..."

"In summary, Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's low-cost housing proposal seems beautiful, but it faces many difficulties and risks in actual operation."

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu read through the whole article and found it acceptable.

Rational and objective.

Not the kind that just throws mud around.

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu opened another newspaper, the *Hong Kong United Daily*, which was from the Taiwan camp.

The content of this newspaper was much sharper.

They took the money directly and threw mud.

"This so-called 'folk hero' Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu has long been using the guise of pleading for the people to build a glorious image in front of Hong Kong citizens. The low-cost housing plan launched now seems to be solving the housing problem for citizens, but in reality, he is delusional about using this opportunity to raise a large amount of funds. Once this money is in hand, he will flee with the funds without hesitation and escape abroad."

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu leaned back.

This flavor is a bit pungent.

It has that kind of 'Mainland is actually very poor, can't even afford tea eggs,' 'no buildings, all are mud houses,' 'can't afford air conditioning' kind of moronic feeling typical of Taiwan.

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu said to Gong Wei: "For this newspaper, have Da Tou check who wrote the report, it's so moronic... give them a beating."

Gong Wei drank the soup in his bowl in one go and nodded: "Yes!"

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu: "Right, don't find our own people, let other gangs do it. If they get caught, there's extra compensation."

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu had to guard against Fatty Peng fishing for trouble.

The Viceroy's Mansion.

Study.

"One... three... six... seven!"

Fatty Peng categorized the newspapers, his face becoming uglier and uglier.

"Seven newspapers!"

"There are over 70 newspapers in all of Hong Kong, and yet my front-page headline is in a total of only 7!"

"And the headlines praising Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's proposal are in 24 newspapers."

"The headlines disparaging Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's proposal are in 46 newspapers."

"That is to say, the headlines about me only account for 10%!"

Fatty Peng glared at Cain: "Didn't you say you had already sent word to these newspapers?"

Dealing with Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu and such were all later plans.

He just wanted to promote his political reform ideas now!

Cain lowered his head, apologetic: "Boss, I did indeed have the people below call those newspaper offices one by one yesterday, insisting that they put your news on the front page... Look at the newspapers disparaging Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu, the proportion is over 60%, it must be that the real estate company bosses spent money."

Fatty Peng was stunned for a moment and looked at those newspapers again.

After a long while, he put them down,

"So, Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu has touched the cake of the real estate companies... making the real estate company bosses spend money to find newspapers to curse Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu?"

Cain: "Yes, it must be like that."

Although Fatty Peng felt it was quite satisfying, because Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu had gained many enemies. But!

(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻!

I want the public to pay attention to my political reform proposal!

Who told you to steal my headlines!

Fatty Peng: "Right, are there any scheduled arrangements for today?"

Cain: "At 10:00, I have an appointment with the leaders of the Xinhua News Agency to meet regarding the political reform report. In the afternoon, we are scheduled to go to Tunmen to conduct a political reform lecture with the citizens."

Fatty Peng: "Good!"

9:30,

Fatty Peng, accompanied by his female secretary Lena, sat in a black Rolls-Royce and left the Government House.

Outside, there were quite a few reporters staking out the location.

Fatty Peng would not miss any news hotspots; he stopped the car and rolled down the window.

The reporters were excited.

Everyone was watching intently!

"Mr. Governor, what is your take on Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan's proposal?"

"Regarding the affordable housing plan, are you perhaps..."

"Affordable housing..."

They were all asking about Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu and affordable housing, and Fatty Peng became annoyed all of a sudden.

Political reform!

Political reform!

Political reform!

I want you to ask about political reform!

Reporter: "Mr. Governor, you are so approachable and have always said you want to think for the citizens; you should agree with Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan's affordable housing proposal, right?"

The Governor was suddenly furious: "Which newspaper are you from?"

Reporter: "I am from ATV News."

The Governor: "............"

Reporter: "You aren't speaking, does that mean you're defaulting to an agreement?"

The Governor: "............"

"Drive!!"

No more interviews!

Fed up with anger!

The car door closed, and the car drove away from the Government House.

10 minutes later, they arrived at the not-so-distant Xinhua News Agency...

Then he met Mr. Zhou of the Xinhua News Agency, who had served as president since 1990, possessed profound cultural depth, was skilled in poetry composition, and had enhanced the cultural influence of the East in the international arena and Hong Kong due to his rich cultural connotations.

And at this moment,

Where was his secretary, Cain?

Tunmen, Lingnan University.

Because the Governor was coming here in the afternoon to conduct a political reform lecture, he needed to arrive early to make arrangements.

He had already arranged for personnel from the Chief Secretary's Office yesterday to select the venue and conduct public outreach.

"Lingnan University... on the playground? It's July now, it's so hot, the Governor should not be able to stand it."

"Mr. Cain, we have no choice. You requested to mobilize at least 5,000 citizens to listen to the lecture, and there is no place that can hold so many people, so it was arranged on the playground. Besides, Mr. Cain, please rest assured, the Observatory has predicted that it will be cloudy in the afternoon with a level 3 wind; there won't be any problems."

"Fine... but we must also make secondary and tertiary preparations. If it's too hot, we will move inside the school."

"Rest assured, we are prepared."

"Regarding the citizens, have you made arrangements? Don't let it happen that the citizens don't show up; you know the severity of the matter."

"Rest assured, we found the Five-Star Property Company to help mobilize and promote."

"！！！！"

Secretary Cain's brain essentially atrophied on the spot.

He said angrily: "Why did you have to find Five-Star Property?"

The small supervisor from the Chief Secretary's Office looked distressed: "Mr. Cain, we only have 50-something staff members; mobilizing 5,000 people is too difficult. And when it comes to mobilizing local citizens, Five-Star Property is the most capable."

After a brief explanation, Cain had to accept this reality.

Small supervisor: "Also, we ordered 5,000 boxes of eggs, 4 in a box, which cost 10,000 Hong Kong dollars."

Cain: "??? Why do you need eggs?"

Small supervisor: "Because only by giving out eggs will they come... normally, who would specifically come to listen to a lecture..."

Cain: "............"

Hearing this, he felt quite unhappy; that was the Governor speaking!

But then he thought about how he didn't like to listen to other people's lectures when he was young.

He understood.

Cain rubbed his temples and continued to check every detail.

2:00 PM,

It was indeed cloudy, and a cool sea breeze was blowing in.

On the Lingnan University playground, more and more local residents were arriving one after another.

"I heard there are eggs to collect, I don't know what it's for."

An elderly woman carrying a vegetable basket said curiously.

An elderly man next to her replied: "Never mind that, as long as there are eggs to collect, though it seems to be some Governor's lecture on the political reform proposal."

"Ah? Political reform proposal? Won't that be very boring?" Another elderly person frowned.

At this time, someone in the crowd said: "I heard that in 3 hours, Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan is holding an affordable housing lecture in Siu Hang Tsuen, Tunmen; let's go listen to that too."

"Of course we have to go; I dream of getting an affordable house to improve my family's living conditions."

Everyone echoed in agreement.

Just as everyone was discussing, Fatty Peng's motorcade slowly drove into the campus.

The scene instantly became lively.

People's eyes were all focused on Fatty Peng, who was walking over slowly.

After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, the Governor was still a "rare species," and everyone was full of curiosity.

Reporters from TVB and ATV carried cameras, constantly looking for the best shooting angles;

Newspaper reporters held cameras and notebooks.

Secretary Cain actually only invited TVB, but ATV came, and he couldn't just chase them away, could he?

Fatty Peng saw so many people on the playground, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

He straightened his collar, walked onto the podium, and began to talk about his political reform proposal:

"Our political reform proposal this time is to make Hong Kong's democratic process more perfect, allowing every citizen to participate more fully in the governance of Hong Kong..."

"Specifically, it is..."

"Through a series of reform measures, we will re-plan the electoral system and add more democratic elements..."

"... making Hong Kong more prosperous and stable in its future development..."

Blah blah blah, lasting for more than 30 minutes.

Various body languages were displayed to the fullest.

However...

The villagers offstage began to lose patience; some were drowsy, and some were whispering.

"What is he talking about? So boring."

"Exactly, I'm almost falling asleep; when can we collect the eggs?"

After speaking for a while,

Fatty Peng stopped and asked with a smile: "Does anyone have any questions?"

This kind of large-scale lecture naturally requires interaction.

Without interaction, what's the point?

At this time, a resident stood up and asked loudly: "Mr. Governor, we are more concerned about the issue of affordable housing. Now that housing prices are so high, we ordinary people simply cannot afford to buy a house. Everyone is looking forward to the affordable housing plan proposed by Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan. What is your opinion on this plan?"

As soon as these words were spoken,

The entire audience of citizens perked up.

Damn,

I'm interested in this!

They began to clamor one after another.

"That's right, Mr. Governor, do you agree with Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan's proposal?"

"Mr. Governor..."

The Governor's face turned black instantly!

No!

I've come all the way here!

And you're still chasing me to kill me!
