Chapter 645

"Hurry up and go to class!"

The old village head pushed the child into the classroom.

Only then did he return to Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu and the leaders with an awkward smile: "Sorry, Mr. Guan, leaders, after I go back, I will definitely teach Zhang Laohan a lesson."

"Also, in the village, I will urge them; I absolutely won't let a single child miss class!"

Apology, correction, attitude—he had it all.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu also knew the thoughts of many common people at this time; he had encountered many of them in his previous life. He was worried that the county and town leaders would make things difficult for the old village head, so he spoke first.

"The villagers' thoughts are very simple; life is difficult, and they are all just trying to live a slightly better life. This is understandable."

"It will be hard work for the village head from now on."

The village head hurriedly said: "It's not hard, it's not hard. From now on, whoever doesn't let their child go to school, I will definitely whip them!"

Being interrupted by Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, his tolerant and gentle attitude made the expressions of several leaders relax.

The provincial leader expressed his stance at this time: "Mr. Guan, don't worry, we will go back and hold a meeting to discuss a set of rules to prohibit students from farming during school hours."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu nodded: "Sorry to trouble you, leaders."

However, he also knew that this would not be easy to implement, just like Zhang Laohan's thought, 'This is my son, what does it have to do with you?' I reckon many common people would have this thought.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu thought for a moment and said: "Whipping alone might not be enough; how about adding two rewards?"

"The first reward: scholarships. How much to issue, how many students, what standards—we will study this slowly later, once per semester."

"The second reward: as long as the academic performance is excellent, the Five Star Group can provide travel opportunities, letting them go to Hong Kong to see the big metropolis..."

As soon as Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu said this,

All the leaders couldn't help but have their eyes light up.

For children living in rural Shaanxi, Hong Kong is a distant big metropolis.

This travel opportunity as a reward can set a clear and desirable goal for the children.

And once they go to Hong Kong and witness the modern high-rise buildings, advanced transportation facilities, and bustling commercial centers with their own eyes.

The prosperity of the big metropolis will make them realize the limitations of their own environment, thereby generating ideals and ambitions to change their destiny. These ideals and ambitions will become the internal driving force for their long-term hard study, prompting them to make continuous progress.

The more they thought about it, the more they felt this idea was wonderful!

Motivated primary school students will definitely unleash huge potential!

For Shaanxi, this is definitely a great thing!

The only hesitation of the provincial leader was: "However, this might cost a lot of money..."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu smiled: "It's okay, our Five Star Group can afford this."

Hong Kong travel? It's nothing more than Five Star Property.

Plane tickets? That's Dragonair.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu said to Li Cangdong behind him: "A-Dong, go back and do a calculation—roughly how many people, and how much money it will cost."

Li Cangdong: "Okay, boss."

The faces of the many leaders present were full of gratitude.

The provincial leader excitedly grabbed Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's hand and shook it vigorously: "Mr. Guan, on behalf of all the students in the province, thank you!"

"This is the children's blessing, and also our honor!"

Both sides exchanged pleasantries again.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu thought for a moment and said to Li Cangdong: "Call back to Hong Kong, take some photos of the city—Victoria Harbour, Central Plaza, the airport, aerial views of Hong Kong, big shopping malls, cinemas... take photos of everything, take them well, make photo albums, and put one in every school."

Everyone's eyes lit up again.

Good idea!

Photos can effectively stimulate students' interest in big cities.

Li Cangdong: "Okay, I'll call as soon as I go back."

Over the next few days,

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu visited more than a dozen villages and primary schools, and after taking group photos,

He finally had to leave.

The provincial leaders held a farewell banquet for Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu at a big hotel.

Then they escorted him all the way to the airport.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, Wu Lianqian, Xu Zhengyang, and others bid farewell to Li Cangdong, Xie Weihao, and others, and boarded the plane.

Going to the Imperial Capital.

This time it was to meet the leaders, and also to discuss matters with the Chinese Academy of Sciences regarding computers.

Because the flight didn't have first class, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu and the others were in economy class.

After sleeping for a while,

He was suddenly woken up by the voices behind him.

"This America is really too advanced; look at this story..."

"In America, a sparrow was entangled by a bare high-voltage wire on the side of the road. After a passerby called the police, the rescue personnel asked for instructions layer by layer. Finally, the White House intervened, and the US President made a decision within half an hour, sending a special plane to crash into the national main power line located in Washington, causing the whole of America to temporarily lose power. The rescue personnel spent half an hour saving the little sparrow."

"Ah? Really? That's too amazing, right?"

"Right? America is indeed advanced, actually cutting off power nationwide for a little bird; it's too great!"

"Indeed! Too great!"

"We couldn't do that."

The surrounding passengers, after hearing this, were all shocked, and then worshipped and admired.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "............"

Speechless.

I haven't heard of cutting off power for a sparrow, but I have heard of power outages in most of Europe, just in 2025.

Thinking of the European power outage, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu couldn't help but laugh.

And Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's laughter, carrying a hint of mockery, seemed very abrupt and out of place among the voices praising America.

"What do you mean?"

"Are you mocking us?"

"What kind of attitude is that? Is it so hard to admit that America is advanced and great?"

Gao Gang and Xu Zhengyang immediately became vigilant.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "No, no, no... I'm not mocking, I also think America is great..."

"A sparrow, actually needing a nationwide power outage—with so many power plants, how did they manage to cut off power simultaneously? It's simply too amazing."

Many passengers: "???"

That passenger holding the book was unhappy: "What does this explain? It explains the advancement of the American power grid; they are hundreds of years ahead of us."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu spread his hands: "But America has only been around for 218 years in total, where did the hundreds of years come from..."

That passenger was anxious: "Why are you like this? If you're backward, you're backward; is it so hard to admit you're backward? Is it so hard to admit America is advanced?"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's mouth twitched.

Whether America is advanced or not, don't I know? I know it too well, because I'm sending people to wreak havoc on it.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu hurriedly said: "Ah, yes, yes, yes~~~ You're all right, we are very backward, and America is very advanced."

Passenger: "............"

This person (Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu) admitted his mistake, but his tone felt strange.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

Arguing with them is meaningless.

Senior Chen Jinnan once said: "Opposing the Qing and restoring the Ming is just a slogan; when dealing with those stupid people, you must never tell them the truth..."

Without Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's argument,

The atmosphere on the plane became heated again.

"Do you know? Germany, what a conscience..."

"During the period when the Germans occupied Qingdao, they didn't build high-rises, villas, or fountains; they didn't enjoy that, they just built the sewers very well. So, even a hundred years later today, even if it rains heavily, Qingdao won't be flooded..."

"Wow, too amazing..."

"Too great!"

And then another round of spiritual baptism.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "............"

Closing his desperate eyes... he felt his soul being sucked away.

Damn it, what kind of lunatic wrote this~~~

Drag them out and shoot them!

The kind where the bullet is heavier than the meat!

And at this time,

Over in Hong Kong,

A piece of heavy news quietly spread————

The Governor is changing!

This news was like a whirlwind, instantly causing an uproar in Hong Kong!

"That's not right, the two years haven't ended yet, why is the Governor changing?"

"Isn't it too fast?"

"What is the reason for Britain to change the Governor?"

"Who exactly is the new Governor?"

"What is his management style?"

"What is his resume?"

On the streets and alleys, people were discussing it.

There were even many smart people guessing if it was because Fatty Peng was too gentle (because he was too insidious and hid his skills, so it didn't show), which made Britain very dissatisfied, so they wanted to replace him quickly.

Especially those tycoons, political figures, and the elite class, who were very aware of the conflicts between the East and Britain, naturally realized that Hong Kong might be about to face new conflicts.

Judging from Fatty Peng's style, this new Governor must be a very tough one.

March 2nd,

The sun was shining brightly, and spring was in full swing.

In the garden of Government House, flowers were blooming, competing in beauty.

On the emerald green lawn,

TVB, ATV, various Hong Kong newspapers, Taiwan, Macau, and even some international media reporters gathered here with cameras and camcorders, like rows of long guns and short cannons, neatly aimed at the podium, ready to go.

Fatty Peng was dressed in a crisp dark brown suit, the well-tailored clothing highlighting his usual steadiness.

He walked steadily onto the podium.

"Click, click, click~~~" Countless flashes went off instantly.

"Media friends, citizens of Hong Kong, good morning everyone!"

"Today, I stand here to announce a piece of news to you: That's right, the news you heard is true. I am about to leave the position of Governor, and a new Governor will arrive next."

Click, click, click~~~

Important moment!

"On May 15, 1992, I arrived in Hong Kong. I felt the enthusiasm of the citizens, and they even gave me an affectionate nickname, 'Fatty Peng.' At that time, I was determined to make my own efforts for Hong Kong's economic prosperity, and in these nearly two years, Hong Kong's economic growth rate has been increasing every year, per capita income has been increasing, and the suffering of many impoverished citizens has been solved, proving that my efforts were not in vain. I am worthy of the deep love the citizens of Hong Kong have shown me."

As Fatty Peng spoke, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

In the end, he was unwilling!

If I cooperate with Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, I can earn even more!

Major, go to hell!

"At the time of parting, I sincerely wish for Hong Kong's economy to continue to take off and maintain its status as an international financial and trade center..."

He went on and on, reluctant to part...

Soon, it was time for the reporter interview session.

"Mr. Governor, may I ask if you know who the new Governor is? What is his specific identity?"

"Sorry, I don't know either."

"Mr. Governor, what position will you hold after you go back this time?"

"It's not convenient to disclose that for the time being."

"Mr. Governor..."
