Chapter 723: 716 You knelt too fast! Cleaning up Hong Kong after the typhoon

~13 min read 2,434 words

A new day,

The sun is bright, the rain has receded, and the whole of Hong Kong is going to work as usual.

Director Guan Zu returned to Central Plaza.

Office,

Director Guan Zu drank tea, overlooked Hong Kong, finished the process, and started calling Big Head over.

Big Head came to the office: "Zu Ge."

Director Guan Zu: "When we were playing mahjong at the party yesterday, you weren't there, we discussed a Hong Kong drainage renovation plan……"

Director Guan Zu said the content once.

Then instructed: "You send some manpower to count the affected areas in each district this time, and then investigate the cause……"

"In addition, get the sewer network map of Hong Kong from the Drainage Services Department, go to the university to find experts and professors, and research a renovation plan……"

"Give you one month."

Big Head nodded quickly: "Yes!"

Director Guan Zu: "How are the complaints and demonstrations at the Examination Bureau going?"

Big Head: "Started calling to complain to the Examination Bureau yesterday…… Today the weather is good, 800+ citizens have been arranged to demonstrate at the entrance of the Examination Bureau building…… At the same time, 500+ people were arranged to demonstrate at the Governor's House…… 600+ people went to the Education Bureau to demonstrate……"

Director Guan Zu: "Good!"

……

Governor's House.

After the heavy rain, the air in the garden was exceptionally fresh, with strings of water droplets on leaves and flowers, making people look fresh and pleasant.

The Governor's wife took her son and daughter for a walk in the garden.

Recently, she has been a bit annoyed. She has always wanted to sell out her husband Patten to get some benefits from the Five Star Group.

As a result, Patten didn't reveal any flaws at all.

Damn it!

You delayed me from making money, you fucking%¥&!

"Eh~~~ what happened outside?"

Suddenly, Governor's wife Alina saw a large group of people besieging the gate of the Governor's House.

Soon, she understood that it was citizens demanding reform of the liberal studies exam.

She realized: this handwriting, without a doubt, was stirred up by that Director Guan Zu.

No one cared about this before, only Director Guan Zu and the Five Star Group cared about this…… well, for so long, the Governor's wife hasn't lived in vain, she has learned a lot of things.

"So, Patten will definitely conflict with Director Guan Zu again?"

"Is my opportunity to make money coming?"

Her eyes lit up instantly.

She couldn't care about strolling in the garden, let her son and daughter stroll by themselves, and then returned to the mansion.

As soon as she entered, she heard Patten and secretary Faiman discussing:

"You go outside, talk to those citizens, be more approachable, understand their demands……"

"In addition, go understand the situation at the Education Bureau and the Examination Bureau……"

Alina walked over, smiling: "Husband~~~ (coquettishly~~)"

Patten shuddered.

Usually, this yellow-faced woman of his is cold to him, but now she is like this, it's really a bit chilling.

The Governor's wife fanned the flames: "Husband, I just heard outside that these unruly people are actually demanding some kind of educational reform. It's truly laughable. Who do they think they are? This Hong Kong Island is under your management!"

Patten: "…………"

Faiman: "…………"

How smart they are, they immediately realized that she was provoking, inciting the conflict between him and Director Guan Zu, and then selling him out.

Patten sneered in his heart: "You want to defect to Director Guan Zu to make money? Unfortunately, I was a step ahead of you!"

Head held high, acting spoiled!

Patten to Faiman: "Go."

Faiman lowered his head: "Yes!"

Left quickly.

An hour later, Faiman returned and reported the situation at the Education Bureau and the Examination Bureau to Patten:

"At the Education Bureau and the Examination Bureau, there are many people demonstrating and protesting……"

"And received a large number of complaints."

Patten looked up and sighed: "Public opinion! This is public opinion…… Faiman, what do you think I should do?"

Governor's wife Alina quickly said: "Of course, refuse! Now it is still our Great Britain managing Hong Kong!"

Faiman shook his head: "No, I think we should agree."

Patten looked up: "Then do as you say."

Governor's wife: "???"

Upon hearing this, she was anxious.

No, why are you so soft?

If you don't harden up, how can I make money?

She was a bit desperate: Damn, why is it so hard for me to make money!

……

……

On the Examination Bureau side, the same scene happened.

Director Zheng Jintang looked up, full of helplessness: "It's all public opinion…… Since this is the case, write a report and report it to the Governor."

Secretary: "Then what is our attitude?"

Zheng Jintang: "Of course, agree."

Secretary: "Ah?"

Other subordinates: "Ah???"

They all felt that Zheng Jintang was crazy?

How could the Governor agree?

Zheng Jintang shook his head: "Hey…… you don't understand, that's why you are subordinates, and I am the leader."

Mysterious.

Many subordinates were confused.

Could it be that there is something they didn't think of?

Soon, the report was signed and sent to the Governor's House. Many high-level subordinates were rubbing their hands, waiting for Zheng Jintang to make a mistake, and then they would take his place…… Ga ga ga ha ha ha~~~

At noon, ATV news reported on this sit-in demonstration.

"Thousands of people sitting outside the Education Bureau, Examination Bureau, and Governor's House……"

"This is a public opinion appeal initiated by ordinary citizens……"

"The reason is that the history taught in many patriotic schools is……"

In the afternoon, more citizens ran to these three places to support and sit-in and demonstrate.

The scale of the demonstration at the Education Bureau expanded to more than 2,000 people, and there were even more than 3,000 people at the Examination Bureau and the Governor's House.

As for those students reading in private, government-aided schools, and their parents, they were all confused.

In the evening, something that made the Examination Bureau dumbfounded happened: the Governor's House signed it.

"Democratic autonomy is our governing purpose. Public opinion cannot be violated, agreed! —— Chris Patten!"

The entire Examination Bureau was stunned.

No,

Democratic autonomy?

We didn't play this before either.

……

Governor's House,

The Governor's wife had completely gone crazy.

"Why is it so hard to make money!"

……

Education Bureau: "???"

Even more confused.

If it were them signing, they would definitely disagree. How did the Governor agree?

……

At 10:00 AM the next day, the Examination Bureau press conference scene was crowded with reporters, and flashes flashed one after another.

Zheng Jintang stood on the podium,

"Dear media friends, in view of the strong demands of the general public for educational fairness, as well as the earnest expectation for a diversified understanding of historical knowledge…… This Examination Bureau adheres to the principles of democratic autonomy and inclusiveness, and after careful discussion, decided—"

"Starting from this year, 1995, in the general knowledge history knowledge of the HKCEE and A-Level exams, content regarding Hong Kong's colonial history, the British Empire's colonial policy in the East, etc., needs to be answered dialectically……"

Reporter asked: "May I ask, Director Zheng, is this a compromise to public opinion?"

Zheng Jintang: "We respect public opinion, and this is also a professional decision made by the Examination Bureau based on the trend of educational reform. We are always committed to cultivating students' critical thinking, making them more equipped with international vision and more excellent quality……"

After the press conference……

Before it started on the news, major secondary schools began to receive news.

Teachers and students in private, international, and government-aided secondary schools were all numb.

This means they have to relearn another version of general knowledge history that is favorable to the East.

So,

They started crazy remedial classes.

Many bookstores began to welcome students one after another, frantically looking for relevant books.

Forcing them to learn actively.

……

Xinhua News Agency.

"Ha ha ha~~~"

President Li happily crossed out a goal on the board—Education!

Being led by a full-level big account is just cool!

……

……

Although the education system caused an uproar due to the new decision of the Examination Bureau, becoming big news discussed by everyone on the street,

But at this moment,

The focus of the entire Hong Kong has shifted without suspense to the post-disaster cleaning and reconstruction work.

After the typhoon passed, what was left was a messy city scene.

Household garbage, tree branches, billboard advertising materials, building materials, fragments of road facilities, damaged vehicles, flower pots dropped from family balconies, clothes, garbage from drainage pipes washed to the ground……

Five Star Property received Director Guan Zu's order and mobilized most of its employees in a short time.

They wore unified uniforms, held various cleaning tools, shuttled through the streets and alleys, and also called on idle citizens to join. Soon, many citizens and neighbors responded one after another, spontaneously picking up brooms and shovels, rushing from home, and joining this city "repair war" racing against time.

If society is indifferent, then street neighbors will also be indifferent.

If society is enthusiastic, then street neighbors will also be enthusiastic.

It's like "to help or not to help" "anyway I dare not help"……

And Hong Kong is now driven by the Five Star Group, doing good deeds that are within their power and will not harm themselves is something many citizens are relatively active in. And while doing good deeds, the mood will be very pleasant, making people enjoy it.

…

Wong Tai Sin District,

Chen Haonan, Tai Tin Yee, Jiao Pi, and others were leading a group of little brothers from the hall, in front of a crossroads.

Besides them, there were a large number of neighbors who rushed over.

On the street, many large trees blown down by the typhoon were uprooted, huge tree trunks lying across the center of the road, lush branches broken and scattered everywhere, leaves washed messy by the rain.

Trash cans lay on the ground, household garbage inside scattered all over the ground, waste paper, plastic bottles, fruit peels mixed together, and after being soaked by the rain, they emitted bursts of strange odors.

The signs of shops on the street were also not spared, many were crumbling, some had already fallen to the ground, shattering into pieces, metal, plastic, wooden debris mixed together.

"Let's clear the obstacles on the main road first to ensure vehicles can pass!"

Chen Haonan held a chainsaw, cutting the fallen trees, dividing the trunks and branches into small sections, making it easy to move.

Tai Tin Yee often works out, carrying a large bag of garbage in each hand, walking like flying toward the garbage truck.

Jiao Pi led several young people, trying hard to move a large fallen billboard away from the road.

"Three…… two…… one…… lift!"

They shouted slogans, working together, sweat and rain intertwined on their faces.

Other neighbors also divided the work and cooperated, clearing away air conditioning outdoor units blown down by the wind, billboard iron sheets, and building materials blown out from construction sites, such as wooden boards, bricks, steel bars, etc. …… one by one.

Although very tired, the cleaning work at the scene was carried out in full swing.

Everyone had a happy smile on their faces.

……

……

Quanwan.

On the streets of Quanwan, the traces left by the storm were shocking.

Wo Shing's Big D and Long Hair stood at the street corner, looking at the mess in front of them, their brows twisted into a knot.

Big D shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Brothers, move for me! Today our task is to clean up the streets of Quanwan!"

The voice was rough and powerful, echoing in the empty street.

Long Hair: "Wow, boss, we are from the underworld, and we still have to do this kind of thing?"

Then he was slapped on the back of the head by Big D.

Slap~~~

"You bastard, I taught you but you don't listen, we are underworld, but we have to do good deeds…… you didn't see Mr. Director Guan, because he did good deeds, so his business is so big……"

Long Hair covered his head……

A group of Big D's little brothers acted quickly.

On the street, trash cans blown down by the typhoon lay everywhere, garbage scattered all over the place, leftovers, rags, and rotten paper floating in the sewage, emitting bursts of stench.

Big D wrinkled his nose, kicked away a trash can blocking the way, and commanded loudly: "You guys, first concentrate this garbage, put it into garbage bags! Move fast!"

Several little brothers hurriedly responded, holding brooms and garbage bags, cleaning up nimbly.

Soon, neighbors came with various tools.

Neighbor Uncle: "Wow~~~ Big D brother, you are from the underworld~~ also come to help?"

Big D cursed: "Damn it, I'm kind-hearted…… still don't say thank you Big D brother!"

"Ha ha ha~~~"

"Thank you Big D brother!"

The whole street was filled with a happy atmosphere.

Seeing Big D and his men working so hard, the neighbors also gathered their strength,

In the process of cleaning, Big D kept shuttling through the crowd, sometimes helping to move heavy objects, sometimes guiding the cleaning work.

Encountering some large obstacles, Big D was always the first to rush up……

Why?

Big D had already lost himself in the sound of "Thank you Big D brother."

"Brothers, come on! We in Quanwan are the best!"

Big D's voice was always full of power, encouraging everyone present.

The originally heavy cleaning work, with everyone's concerted efforts, gradually became orderly, and the street was slowly returning to its former appearance.

"Haha, thanks to everyone this time……"

"Tonight, at 8 o'clock, Yau Gwat Hei restaurant, my treat!"

The whole audience suddenly burst into cheers:

"Thank you Big D brother!"

Just in this warm sound,

Suddenly, a red Toyota car drove slowly along the street that had just been cleared.

Middle-part oil-head man—Bai Chi Li.

I saw him sitting in the driver's seat, throwing a garbage bag out of the window, the bag fluttering in the wind in the air, and finally, it landed accurately on the open space that Big D and a group of neighbors had just cleaned up.

Big D's smile instantly froze, his face sank.

The neighbors, at this moment, their fists also hardened!

Long Hair frowned, walked quickly to the car: "Hey, why are you littering? Pick up the garbage."

The most polite person in Hong Kong—Long Hair!
