Chapter 724: 717 High official: There are only two years left until the return, I can also
Bai Chi Li looked arrogant,
"What, I'm in a hurry to go to work!"
"I just threw it, so what?"
Quite like the kind of arrogance of shouting at the doctor 'What are you looking at? Be careful I'll punch you to death.'
Long Hair heard this, his polite face began to pull down.
You bastard,
You think I'm a good citizen, I'm a gangster!
I smiled at you because I'm polite, you're not polite, then don't blame me for being impolite!
Long Hair reached out fiercely and pulled open the car door, dragging Bai Chi Li out of the car.
Bai Chi Li staggered, almost fell, a bit panicked: "What are you doing!"
Big D walked over, full of righteousness: "You bastard, are you blind? Didn't you see everyone busy all day to make the street like this, and you come here to sabotage?"
Bai Chi Li argued: "It's just a bag of garbage, is it worth making such a fuss……"
Big D was even more angry when he heard this: "You made a mistake and don't know it! It seems that you must use fists and feet to understand that you made a mistake!"
"Come here!"
"Yes!"
A group of little brothers ran over.
Bai Chi Li was panicked.
"Beat him for me!"
"Ah~~~ don't hit the face~~~"
"Hit, hit his face for me!"
Bang bang bang~~~
A group of little brothers kicked him, with a sense of proportion, not hitting the vital parts, beating Bai Chi Li until he wailed.
Big D took the opportunity to kick twice, while saying: "Do you know you're wrong?"
Bai Chi Li was bruised and swollen, crying: "I know I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong!"
Big D asked: "What are you wrong about?"
Bai Chi Li cried: "Shouldn't litter!"
Big D kicked again: "Anything else?!!"
Bai Chi Li replied: "Shouldn't be so arrogant to you."
Big D nodded: "Anything else?"
Bai Chi Li: "Ah? Anything else?"
Long Hair kicked: "Be polite, you bastard!"
Bai Chi Li quickly: "Sorry~~ I'm not polite……"
Big D was finally satisfied: "That's right. If you do something wrong, you have to recognize the mistake…… don't litter in the future, you know?"
"I know."
"Since you recognized the mistake, take out 5000 yuan, just treat it as a treat for these neighbors who worked hard to clean up!"
"Ah??"
Bai Chi Li was stunned.
Big D was extremely vicious: "Ah what ah? Hurry up and pay! Otherwise, I'll beat you!"
Bai Chi Li cried, quickly taking out money.
Fortunately, he still had some money, otherwise how could he change cars frequently? 5000 Hong Kong dollars is not much for him.
Pay.
Big D took the 5000 Hong Kong dollars, took out 500 Hong Kong dollars for Bai Chi Li: "One thing is one thing, it's wrong for us to beat you, this 500 is for medical expenses."
Bai Chi Li: "…………"
Long Hair cursed beside him: "Said how many times, be polite when you are a person, say 'Thank you Big D brother'!"
Bai Chi Li: "…………"
Crying: "Thank you Big D brother!"
Why does this scene seem familiar?
At this moment, Bai Chi Li couldn't help but think of the summer of 1990, he seemed to have honked at an old lady, and then was blackmailed by Director Guan Zu for a sum of money, um…… seems to be 1000 Hong Kong dollars.
And now, 5 years later, Director Guan Zu has become the richest man in Hong Kong, and the Governor has to bow his head. Himself, still that unlucky……
Bai Chi Li quickly got into the car and drove away.
Big D held the money and shouted to all the neighbors: "Tonight at 8 o'clock, Yau Gwat Hei, everyone must come~~~"
All the neighbors cheered: "Big D brother is good!"
……
……
Outside Wong Tai Sin MTR station,
Big Head and Professor Chen from Hong Kong University, and a group of students, came here.
In the whole of Hong Kong, only Wong Tai Sin MTR station was submerged.
Although the heavy rain had stopped, what was left was a scene of devastation.
At the entrance, the rolling door deformed by the rain hung crookedly.
Inside the station, although most of the accumulated water had receded, a thick layer of silt on the ground emitted a pungent smell.
Billboards lay everywhere, glass fragments scattered around, intertwined with the surrounding garbage and tree branches.
And inside the MTR station, the situation was actually worse. A large amount of garbage, including plastic bags, leaves, cigarette butts, fruit peels, and various waste…… rushed into the MTR station, floating on the water.
And the shopping mall next to it naturally couldn't be spared, and a large amount of water couldn't be drained out.
Professor Chen took the municipal design drawing and walked around Wong Tai Sin a few times, basically having a judgment:
"This rain was too big, a large amount of mud and debris were washed into the sewer, and it couldn't be drained smoothly in a short time, accumulating here, directly causing the drainage system to paralyze."
Big Head: "Professor Chen, this clogging situation is so serious, what are the main key factors?"
Professor Chen said: "First of all, garbage discarded by residents in daily life, like plastic bags, disposable tableware, etc., are easily washed into drainage pipes by rain, mixed with mud and sand, accumulating more and more, gradually clogging the pipes."
"And the terrain here is low, the rain in the surrounding areas all gathers here, the drainage pressure is already very high."
"Plus the aging pipes, the pipe diameter is small, the drainage speed is far behind the rainfall speed, naturally there is backflow, submerging the MTR station."
"Also, every section of the sewer will have a filter net, once it is not cleaned in time, it will block the sewer……"
At this time, many neighbors nearby were cleaning the road.
Seeing Big Head, the professor, and others holding design drawings, and recognizing Big Head's identity as the person in charge of Five Star Property, they all walked over one after another.
"Mr. Yang (Big Head), are you preparing to do something?"
Big Head didn't hide it: "Neighbors! This flood is very serious, and our Five Star Group boss Director Guan Zu, Mr. Director Guan, also saw it."
"He knows that this flood has caused a lot of trouble for everyone, and it's hard to guarantee that the same situation won't happen again in the future."
"So, the boss wants to do a livelihood project, to build a brand new, efficient drainage system for the whole of Hong Kong! Solve the problem from the source, and in the future, no matter how heavy the rain is, there will be no such serious flooding!"
The scene suddenly quieted down,
"Really?"
Then burst into warm applause and cheers.
"Too good!"
"Heavy rain every year, flooding every year, the Drainage Services Department just doesn't correct it at all. We were all full of anger."
"Five Star Group is good!"
"If a new drainage system can really be created to solve the problem of flooding on the street, that would be too good!"
The neighbors' faces rekindled hope, praising one after another.
Big Head arched his hands: "Neighbors, this is still in the preliminary preparation stage, we need to check the drainage situation in all parts of Hong Kong…… After counting, after forming the project plan, the Five Star Group will jointly hold a press conference with the Drainage Services Department to announce the specific situation to everyone……"
"Because the project is too big and consumes a lot of funds, we may need everyone's concerted efforts and full support……"
Many neighbors shouted,
"This is also for our own living environment, we definitely support it!"
"That's right, Five Star Group is willing to take the lead in doing such a big thing, of course we will fully cooperate!"
The atmosphere at the scene was warm, and everyone was full of expectations for this livelihood project that improves life.
Big Head looked at this scene, his heart moved.
He has been reading "Guanzi" written by Director Guan Zhong in the Spring and Autumn period recently, and there is a sentence on it: "Everything for the people, the people will yearn for it." It means that as long as it is for the benefit of the people, the people will be close to him, obey him, and support and cooperate with his work.
Practice combined with books, it feels like suddenly enlightened.
And at this moment, Professor Chen and many students have already started to get busy, holding measuring instruments, carefully recording various data……
……
The same scene happened in all affected areas in Hong Kong……
Five Star Property cooperated with some experts and professors, and busy figures appeared in heavy disaster areas such as Chai Wan, Aberdeen, and Shau Kei Wan.
In Chai Wan, the originally bustling street was a mess at this moment.
A large number of neighbors, fire, and municipal staff were busy cleaning.
Not far away, experts were discussing enthusiastically with engineers: "This area is low-lying, the original drainage pipe diameter is too small, it can't cope with such a large amount of rain at all, it must be replanned."
The situation in Aberdeen was also not optimistic. Seawater backflow plus heavy rain caused many shops to be submerged, and goods were scattered all over the place.
Expert professors were recording disaster data on the side, analyzing the connection between seawater backflow and the drainage system.
……
……
In the afternoon, the sun finally pierced through the thick clouds and shone on Hong Kong, plating a layer of warm light on this city that had just experienced the baptism of wind and rain.
Downstairs of Central Plaza,
A Honda stopped slowly on the side of the road, and Drainage Services Department Director Li Ming'an pushed the car door and walked down.
He looked up at the skyscraper, and a complex emotion couldn't help but well up in his heart.
Li Ming'an was a bit dazed when he received Director Guan Zu's invitation.
He had no contact with Director Guan Zu, why did he call him over?
However, Director Guan Zu is now powerful in Hong Kong. Although he is the Director of the Drainage Services Department, for Director Guan Zu, he is just a small character, summoned and dismissed, and he dare not refuse.
He took a deep breath, tidied up his uniform, and walked into the building quickly with his assistant.
Elevator,
Arrived at the top floor of Director Guan Zu's office.
Led by the secretary, pushed open the door, Li Ming'an saw the wall at a glance—
"Fuck&* everyone"
"?"
Li Ming'an almost stumbled and fell to the ground.
Look again, good guy, there is another one next to it
"Slut&* woman"
Li Ming'an: "…………" Look again, there are……
Li Ming'an was completely confused.
At this time, he took a few steps forward, completely entered Director Guan Zu's office, and saw Director Guan Zu.
Director Guan Zu stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the entire Hong Kong. The white shirt silhouette was straight in the sunlight, the gold-rimmed glasses flashed with steady light in the daylight, and his whole body exuded awe-inspiring majesty.
Li Ming'an subconsciously became serious and solemn.
"Boss, Director Li is here." Wu Lianqian reminded.
Director Guan Zu turned his head and looked at Li Ming'an.
"Mr. Director Guan!"
Li Ming'an saluted respectfully.
"Please sit."
The two shook hands and sat on the sofa.
Wu Lianqian carried the tea set and poured tea for the two.
The fragrance of tea instantly filled the office.
The two chatted for about 5 minutes, from the weather to the recovery situation in Hong Kong recently, purely routine chatting.
5 minutes later, Director Guan Zu's expression became serious, cutting into the main topic:
"Director Li, I invited you here this time to talk about the drainage renovation project. I believe you have also seen that the water flooding problem caused by this heavy rain is very serious. Our Five Star Group intends to take the lead and work closely with the Drainage Services Department to thoroughly solve the drainage hidden dangers in Hong Kong."
Li Ming'an subconsciously sat up straight and listened carefully.
Director Guan Zu continued: "We plan to comprehensively check and upgrade the drainage network in all of Hong Kong. First, we must replan the pipe diameter and scientifically increase the pipe diameter in areas prone to water accumulation……"
"In addition, in some low-lying areas with high drainage pressure, such as Wong Tai Sin, Aberdeen, etc., we plan to add rainwater pumping stations……"
Director Guan Zu picked up the tea cup, took a light sip, and stared at Li Ming'an.
Li Ming'an pondered for a moment and spoke slowly: "Mr. Director Guan, your idea is indeed constructive. However, this project is huge, involving numerous approval processes, construction coordination, and other issues……"
Director Guan Zu: "These will all be handled by our Five Star Group……"
Li Ming'an: "And in terms of funds……"
Director Guan Zu waved his hand: "Funds are raised by the Five Star Group, part of it comes from the group's investment, and part of it we will launch a fundraising from society…… Of course, the treasury also needs to allocate funds……"
Li Ming'an heard this and already felt Director Guan Zu's unquestionable decision.
Since this is the case,
He naturally wants to fully cooperate, otherwise he is afraid of being poisoned by Director Guan Zu.
And this matter is also a political achievement for him.
There are still 2 years and 2 months left until the return, maybe he can rely on this "political achievement" to get re-elected.
I…… can also be patriotic!
Thinking of this,
Li Ming'an's expression was solemn, his tone full of sincerity and firmness: "Mr. Director Guan, improving people's livelihood is the mission and responsibility that our Drainage Services Department has been unswervingly committed to. Over the years, watching the people of Hong Kong suffer from flooding, we are also anxious."
"This time, the Five Star Group can take the lead in such a significant project, which is the luck of Hong Kong and the blessing of the people."
Flattery!
"Although the Drainage Services Department has a certain foundation in engineering, such a huge project still needs to rely on the Five Star Group's strong financial strength, excellent resource integration capabilities, and advanced management concepts."
"In the future, the Drainage Services Department will definitely cooperate with the Five Star Group without reservation!"
Loyalty!
Director Guan Zu was satisfied: "Good!"
He was very satisfied with this Drainage Services Department Director, the smiling Wei Junjie.
……
……
A new day, 9:00 AM,
Five Star Group, banquet hall, held a press conference.
The banquet hall was brightly lit, and the lenses of dozens of media outlets focused on the center of the podium.
Drainage Services Department Director Li Ming'an, university professors, and engineering expert representatives were all present, sitting below.
Reporters below had already started discussing.
"What is the content today?"
"Drainage Services Department? Could it be related to the floods these past two days?"
"It's really possible, Five Star Property took experts and professors to do surveying yesterday, it feels like they are going to do drainage project renovation."
"No way? This is a big project, consuming a lot, if it was easy to do, the Drainage Services Department would have done it long ago, Five Star Group wants to take over?"
"Nonsense, projects operated by Five Star Group, which one is not a big project."
"Drainage Services Department can't do it, Five Star Group can do it."
Just at this moment,
Tap tap tap~~~~
Five Star Group Chairman Director Guan Zu wore leather shoes, dressed in a dark gray custom suit, the gold-rimmed glasses reflecting steady light under the lights, and walked onto the podium.
The whole audience, focused!!
