Chapter 658: 644 A small matter, but Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu saw the livelihood of Hong Kong

After 2 months, Ding Hu gradually adapted to Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's bodyguard life.

That is————doing appearances, doing appearances, doing appearances!!

Brother Zu is even more powerful than me, what am I protecting?!

This day,

Early in the morning, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu went downstairs.

Ding Hu was waiting downstairs early, gnawing on a piece of bread.

Seeing Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu come down, he quickly saluted: "Brother Zu!"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu looked at the bread in his hand and smiled: "Heh, eating breakfast alone..."

Ding Hu: "…………"

Brother Zu is good everywhere, but sometimes his mouth is a bit cheap.

Always poking at people's hearts.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu went to buy some newspapers. There was no big news recently, and Governor Patten was meeting with leaders of various government departments in a down-to-earth manner.

The last newspaper incident made Patten realize: his foundation was not deep enough, and everything he did was greatly discounted.

Therefore, Patten started to be down-to-earth and didn't cause trouble.

"Another boring day..."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu bought a newspaper casually.

At this time, Ah Xing drove the black Chevrolet, swoosh————stopped on the side of the road.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "Go to Wong Tai Sin today, wait for Xiao Qian for a while..."

Not long after, Wu Lianqian went downstairs, in professional attire, an exquisite woman.

"Brother Zu..."

"Let's go~~"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu and Wu Lianqian got in the car, and Ding Hu also got in.

The car went straight to Wong Tai Sin.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu went over today for a big event: the expansion of the Five Star Education Group, which acquired 4 middle schools in Wong Tai Sin District and Kowloon City District.

Because Wah Di went to the United States for inspection.

So Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu presided over this acquisition.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's education group was blessed with the "Talent Cradle Halo", so Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu didn't waste it. For the past two years, he had been acquiring and reorganizing schools one by one, the number was increasing, and at the same time, it had expanded from primary schools to the middle school range.

Currently, at least half of the primary and middle schools in Hong Kong were under the Five Star Education Group.

Also because of the "Talent Cradle Halo", the success rate of schools under the Five Star Education Group was much higher than other schools.

At the same time, because of the group operation, the optimization of human resources was extremely obvious, and the quality of teachers improved very quickly.

And then...

It became a famous school!

It had a reputation!

And then... citizens were more willing to send their children to primary and middle schools under the Five Star Education Group.

11:00,

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu signed his name on the acquisition agreement.

Noon, banquet.

After eating, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu went to Wong Tai Sin.

Today's Wong Tai Sin was the same as in the past, with prosperous incense, and a large number of citizens came to burn incense and worship gods.

"Mr. Guan!"

"Mr. Guan~~"

One citizen after another greeted Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu after seeing him.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu smiled and responded, then bought a bundle of incense and distributed it to Wu Lianqian, Ah Xing, and Ding Hu.

"Brother Zu also likes to worship gods?"

Ding Hu asked Ah Xing in a low voice, isn't this feudal superstition?

Ah Xing: "Shh, be respectful to Wong Tai Sin, the peace talisman Brother Zu asked for from Wong Tai Sin is very spiritual."

Ding Hu: "Ah?"

First went to the main hall, with flying eaves and arched arches, carved beams and painted buildings, and the statue of Wong Tai Sin was in the center.

Ordinary people couldn't get in, they had to pay money.

So many pilgrims worshiped outside the main hall.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu paid the incense money and entered the main hall.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu burned the incense, walked forward devoutly, held the incense in his left hand, and respectfully performed three bows to Wong Tai Sin with the Taoist arching ceremony.

Wu Lianqian and Ah Xing also worshiped skillfully.

Ding Hu was unfamiliar and worshiped by imitating them.

"(Former) Leader, I also did some feudal stuff today."

After worshiping, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu went to the Three Saints Hall next door, Guanyin Hall...

After worshiping.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu and others left Wong Tai Sin.

At the entrance of Wong Tai Sin, one could see a large number of citizens pouring out of the Wong Tai Sin MTR station exit.

"I told you not to come, and you still want me to carry you!"

"Do you know that carrying you up the stairs is very tiring!"

At this time, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu saw a young man carrying an old woman, walking up step by step, holding a cane in his hand.

He kept scolding in his mouth,

"You are just looking for trouble, I am already very tired from work, and you still implicate me..."

"Isn't it good for you to stay at home alone? Why do you have to come to worship some god!"

The old man said weakly: "I also want to worship a god so that your work can go smoothly."

The son scolded: "Is this letting my work go smoothly? It's letting me suffer."

Carrying the old man, he reached the ground, handed the cane to the old man, and the two walked towards Wong Tai Sin.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu turned around and took people away.

Got in the car and returned to Wan Chai.

In the car,

Ding Hu was curious: "Brother Zu, why not educate that son? It's too unfilial."

This didn't match Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's character of liking to do good deeds.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu said: "Don't persuade others to be kind without experiencing others' suffering, there is no need to stand on the moral high ground and blame him."

Although the son was scolding, he was only scolding, and he didn't lack any filial piety.

Ding Hu didn't figure out so much for a while.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu thought about it and said to Wu Lianqian: "Call and notify ATV to cooperate with Five Star Property to do an investigation interview—how many MTR stations in Hong Kong have no elevators?"

"Do a 'barrier-free facilities' investigation."

This is relatively common in urban design in later generations. For example, you can see that kind of traction ladder/electric stair climbing ladder that can transport wheelchairs up stairs in the Guangzhou subway.

But in 1994, it was not very common.

And Hong Kong only proposed this concept in 1996, and did not formally establish relevant standards until 2008.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "First let them investigate the subway, take videos, play them on the news... then do a street interview to discuss the necessity of barrier-free facilities..."

"When the time comes, collect public opinion, and then let Gao Jin and the others propose it in the Legislative Council to let the MTR increase elevator equipment."

A plan was thought out so smoothly.

Wu Lianqian: "Okay, I'll go back and instruct them later."

Ding Hu listened from the side and was immediately ashamed.

Sure enough, his pattern was small.

He only cared about whether the son was filial to his mother, while the boss's eyes were already on the whole Hong Kong, and he even wanted to legislate to help this kind of group.

His vision was limited to individuals.

And Brother Zu, his eyes were already on the livelihood of Hong Kong.

Ding Hu looked at Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu,

At this moment, Brother Zu's smile seemed to be glowing.

It made people unable to help but submit!

Succubus!

……

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's instructions, Five Star Property and ATV's execution were very high.

Five Star Property's various districts quickly sent people to investigate, checking one subway station after another, and counting the subway stations without elevator exits.

Finally, after counting, 83% of the subway stations did not have escalators or elevators.

Five Star Property reported the statistical data directly to ATV.

ATV's news department quickly formed an action group and rushed to these subway stations in groups.

At Chai Wan Station, the reporter waited for more than 20 minutes and waited for a 70-year-old man, and quickly interviewed him.

"Uncle, I don't know if you usually take the subway?"

"Don't take it."

"Can I ask why?"

"I'm so old, going up the stairs will tire me to death."

"Uncle, if elevators are added to the subway, do you support it?"

"Support, of course I support it!"

The reporter recorded it seriously while recording this scene with the lens.

At Tsim Sha Tsui Station, the reporter team found that the only elevator in the station had been suspended for maintenance for many days due to a malfunction, and the notice posted around it had been torn off a corner, and it couldn't be found without careful observation.

Tuen Mun Subway Station,

The ATV reporter met a young mother pushing a baby carriage who said: "Every time I take the subway with my baby, if I encounter a situation without an elevator, it feels like a 'battle'. It takes a lot of effort to go up and down the stairs, it's really too inconvenient."

"I hope the MTR Corporation can take care of us special groups..."

And Wong Tai Sin Subway Station...

Reporters appeared in one subway station after another.

That night,

ATV News broadcasted today's interview material.

"Dear viewers..."

"Recently, an investigation on barrier-free facilities in Hong Kong subways was launched jointly by Five Star Property and this station."

"Shockingly, the statistical results show that as many as 83% of subway stations are not equipped with escalators or elevators."

"The following are some interviews with neighbors..."

Old man...

Family of disabled people...

Ordinary citizens...

"The reporter interviewed passing citizens on the spot, and everyone pointed out that the imperfection of elevator facilities in subway stations has brought great trouble to special groups, such as disabled people, the elderly, etc."

"The subway, as an important public transportation tool in Hong Kong, should serve every citizen. And now, the current situation of barrier-free facilities in Hong Kong subways makes the travel path of many citizens full of obstacles."

"We hope that through this report, we can attract the great attention of the MTR Group and the Housing Department, take effective measures as soon as possible to improve this situation, and let every citizen feel convenience and equality when taking the subway."

……

……

To Kwa Wan,

Uncle Li's family sat around the small but warm dining table, eating a simple dinner.

On the TV, ATV news was playing.

"Good!"

Uncle Li put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand and praised.

"This news is done well! Dad doesn't take the subway because he is too old, taking a taxi is expensive, and taking the bus is troublesome. I hope the MTR can add elevators quickly so that everyone can travel conveniently."

The son on the side also nodded in agreement: "Yeah, it will be easier for me to push Grandpa to take the subway in the future."

……

Tsim Sha Tsui,

In a slightly spacious living room, Ms. Wang's family was enjoying dinner time, watching ATV.

"The angle of this news is very good, considering the needs of the elderly, disabled people, pregnant women, and people traveling with babies."

"Once this news comes out, it will definitely push the MTR to make changes. Hong Kong is an international metropolis, public facilities should be more perfect, letting everyone travel conveniently, this is true progress, not some surface data."

……

Kwun Tong,

On Uncle Chen's family dining table, the food was steaming.

The family was watching the news report on TV while eating.

Grandson excited: "Grandpa, look at this news, maybe you won't have to worry about no elevators when taking the subway in the future."

Grandpa Chen said happily: "This news is good, I'm old, and I'm panting every time I climb the stairs. If all subway stations are equipped with elevators, I can go out for a walk more."

Daughter-in-law: "Five Star Group is still good, I feel they care about us more than the government... I hope Five Star Group can increase supervision of the MTR and get the barrier-free facilities done as soon as possible, making our travel more convenient."

……

Once the report was broadcast, it quickly caused waves in Hong Kong society.

Major newspapers also keenly captured this hot topic.

The next day,

"Oriental Daily", "Sing Tao Daily", "Ming Pao" and other mainstream newspapers all used this topic as the front-page news.

"Our city should be more inclusive, and we cannot let these special groups travel so difficultly."

"As a government enterprise, the MTR should assume this social responsibility."

"If possible, I hope to legislate to add barrier-free facilities to the regulations, and every subway must add elevators and escalators."

Soon,

This matter became the biggest news headline for all citizens in Hong Kong that day.

In offices, on the way to work, people were discussing it everywhere.

……

……

This matter naturally reached the senior management of the MTR.

"Boom~~~~"

The MTR chairman was so angry he slapped the table.

"Who let them release this thing?"

"Why didn't you discuss it with us when releasing the news."

"This Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, does he really think he can do whatever he wants?"

The secretary lowered his head and curled his lips at an angle that couldn't be seen.

Your predecessor was brought down by Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, you are at most just a keyboard warrior, if you were really in front of Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, you would probably be as obedient as a student.

Soon,

The chairman held a meeting, specifically to scold ATV.

He didn't dare to scold Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, so he used scolding ATV to point at the mulberry and scold the locust.

"Our renovation budget for each line is planned according to ten years, he says add elevators and we add them?"

"If we really want to add elevators, this cost will definitely make this year's performance report very embarrassing."

Of course,

Scolding is scolding, everyone knows in their hearts.

This public opinion was stirred up by Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, and you can't help but add elevators.

The initiative is in Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's hands!

……

……

Governor's House.

"It's here, it's here!"

Secretary Faiman held the newspaper, his heart had already verified the guess from last night.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's routine has started!

ATV reports, newspapers follow up, public opinion in Hong Kong!

+

Standing on the moral high ground, criticizing opponents!

He stepped on leather shoes, ta ta ta walked into the Governor's House hall.

Seeing the wife, young master, and young lady eating breakfast, but the Governor was not seen.

"Madam, young master, young lady morning~~"

Faiman saluted.

The Governor's wife was eating a piece of bread, casually pointing to the study to let him go: "He is there..."

"Thank you, Madam."

Faiman wanted to go to the study to report things, but at this time the door opened.

Female secretary Arika wiped the corners of her mouth and walked out of the room.

Seeing Faiman, she threw a wink.

Faiman: "…………"

Faiman knocked on the study door.

"Come in!"

Faiman pushed the door and walked in. The air inside was filled with a smell, and Governor Patten was sitting at the desk with righteousness, seriously reviewing documents.

What a serious and responsible Governor!

Faiman's mouth twitched.

"Boss!"

"What we expected yesterday came true."

"Is that so?"

Patten raised his head and sneered: "This Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, he uses the same trick over and over again, I have already seen through him."

Faiman: "Then next..."

Patten: "Just keep watching the show, slowly figure him out."

Faiman lowered his head: "Yes!"
