Chapter 739: 732 The Birth of Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's Eldest Princess, and the Cancerous Member Si Ye's America
Mingxin Hospital.
September 3rd, still morning.
"Waaah~~~~"
A loud, infantile cry rang out in the delivery room.
"Congratulations! Both mother and daughter are safe!" the doctor, Wan Wan Ansheng, congratulated them happily.
"Ah Zhen, look, her eyelashes are even longer than yours!" Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu held Le Le Huizhen's hand at the edge of the bed, looking at his eldest daughter; her little face was wrinkled and red, and the more he looked, the cuter she was—much cuter than their son.
Le Le Huizhen lay on the bed, sweat-dampened hair sticking to her cheeks, looking at the little baby in the crib, and let out a sigh of relief.
"Finally pushed this little one out, I'm going to work from now on!"
She raised her arms!
Loudly!
Black lines hung down Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's forehead.
Work your sister!
After finishing the measurements, Wan Wan Ansheng began to report: "Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan, Madam, the baby weighs 3.2 kilograms, is 51 centimeters long, and is very healthy..."
Soon,
they were transferred to the VIP ward.
Ruan Mei and Fang Ting had already been waiting there for a long time with Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Crown Prince.
Fang Ting brought the toddler Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Crown Prince over to the bedside: "This is your little sister from now on; you have to be a little knight and protect her."
Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Crown Prince babbled as he leaned in, his chubby cheeks pressed against the crib railing, looking at the little baby: "Sister... sister..."
However, he didn't understand what "sister" meant.
"Xiao Xiao Qian!"
Ruan Mei called Wu Wu Lianqian over, "Notify the group, 1,000 in red envelopes for everyone! Neighborhood residents can go to their local street office to collect 200 HKD per household!"
Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Crown Prince received this treatment, so the eldest princess naturally had to receive it too.
This was something Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu had already decided: gender equality!
Wu Wu Lianqian: "Yes!"
Soon, Gao Jin, Chen Chen Yongren, and the others arrived with their daughters.
"Congratulations, Brother Zu!"
"Congratulations~~~"
The ward was bustling with activity.
Chen Chen Yongren stood by the baby basket, providing his own commentary: "Wow, is this my niece?"
Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu was nearby, his foot already prepared; if Chen Chen Yongren said anything overly filial, he would kick him to interrupt the spell.
At noon,
ATV officially reported the news.
"Dear viewers and friends!"
"This morning, the eldest princess of Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu, chairman of the Five Star Group, was officially born..."
"To share this joy with everyone, it is announced that the Five Star Group will distribute a celebratory red envelope of 1,000 HKD to all employees to celebrate the birth of the eldest princess."
"In addition, every citizen household may go to the Five Star property company in their area to collect a 200 HKD birth-celebration red envelope..."
Following the broadcast of the news,
employees and most of the neighbors were full of joy.
"Long live the boss!"
"Wishing the eldest princess a healthy upbringing, clever and bright!"
They sent their blessings to the eldest princess one after another.
Kai Tak Airport,
Member Si Ye dragged his suitcase into the Kai Tak Airport departure hall.
It was crowded with people, all waiting for their flights to take off.
At this moment, the television on the wall was playing the ATV news: the report about Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu announcing the birth of his daughter.
The crowd instantly became lively.
"The eldest princess is born?"
"Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan has both a son and a daughter now!"
"Wishing the eldest princess a healthy growth~~~"
Amidst the rising and falling discussions, most were blessings for Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu.
This was public opinion!
The veins on Member Si Ye's hand gripping the boarding pass bulged, and the handle of his suitcase creaked under his grip.
The sight of Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's high-spirited appearance on the TV made his eye sockets turn red.
This Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu!
He turned his face away, his Adam's apple bobbing, and a cold snort escaped his nostrils:
"Nothing but a trick to buy people's hearts!"
As a result, the cheers around him grew even louder, and a few young people even started whistling. Member Si Ye's fingernails dug deeply into his palms.
"Hong Kong will sooner or later be ruined by this group of fame-seeking hypocrites!"
He dragged his suitcase unhappily, bumping through the crowd; every exclamation of praise from behind him felt like a slap to his face.
Until the boarding announcement sounded, he practically rushed into the boarding gate, as if to escape this land that made him both jealous and hateful.
What he didn't know was that as soon as he boarded the plane, the news reached Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu, and then it was passed on to San Francisco.
Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu had long since blacklisted people like him; once they left the country, it was reported immediately.
In a flash,
4:00 PM San Francisco time.
Member Si Ye arrived in San Francisco by plane.
He walked out of the airport exit.
He looked at the azure sky, the pure white clouds, and the emerald green trees...
"Inhale, inhale, inhale~~~"
He took a deep breath and couldn't help but praise it.
Such sweet air!
Whoosh—
A yellow taxi sped over and stopped on the roadside in front of him.
"Hello, need a ride?"
The Latino taxi driver asked.
Member Si Ye nodded, put his luggage in the trunk, and got in the car.
"Sir, I just arrived in the United States and want to find a suitable place to live. Do you know of any suitable places?"
"Suitable to live? The most suitable place is Chinatown; it's safer there."
"Chinese?"
Upon hearing this, Member Si Ye immediately frowned.
I left Hong Kong precisely because of the Chinese. If I come to the United States and still live with Chinese people, wouldn't I have come here for nothing?
"Are there any other places?"
Seeing Member Si Ye's dissatisfied look, the Latino driver assumed he didn't like Chinese people, so he subconsciously thought—Member Si Ye must be Japanese!
Because in the last six months, there had been frequent conflicts between Japanese and Chinese people in San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Latino driver: "Oh, I understand, then Japantown!"
Member Si Ye nodded: "Good!"
The taxi sped away from San Francisco Airport and then raced toward San Francisco's Japantown.
Soon, they arrived at Japantown.
"This hotel is nice, good service, and the price isn't too expensive~~~"
"Thank you~~~"
Member Si Ye paid the taxi fare and gave a 5-dollar tip.
"Have a pleasant trip, Mr. Japanese."
Member Si Ye: "???"
He really wanted to say he wasn't Japanese, but then he thought that being with the Chinese didn't seem right either.
Member Si Ye dragged his suitcase into the lobby of the Sakura Hotel, the wooden floorboards creaking slightly under his feet.
"Welcome~~~"
The girl at the front desk in a kimono smiled and handed him a registration card, the silk flower in her hair trembling gently with her movements.
Member Si Ye felt a sense of enjoyment just watching.
"This guest, may I ask how to address you?"
"My name is Member Si Ye."
"Mr. Member Si Ye, where are you from? Osaka? Tokyo? Or..."
"I am from Hong Kong," Member Si Ye shook his head and smiled.
As soon as the words fell, the lobby suddenly went quiet.
Several Japanese men drinking sake in the corner turned their heads in unison, their wine cups slamming heavily onto the low tables with a dull thud.
Member Si Ye did not notice their tightened jaws and narrowed, dangerous eyes, focusing only on filling out his information.
"So it's a Chinese person."
Someone sneered in Japanese, their knuckles turning white from gripping so hard.
Ever since Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu publicized Zhang Zhang Chunru and "The Rape of Nanking" across the United States half a year ago, conflicts between the Chinese and the Japanese had erupted continuously, and the two sides had fought many times.
Now, a Chinese person had actually run to Japantown!
What was this?
A provocation!
Although this Member Si Ye seemed unaware of these things, their hatred for the Chinese meant they still had to teach this Chinese person a harsh lesson!
Someone had already stood up, preparing to teach this detestable Chinese person a lesson.
"No rush!" his companion pressed down on his shoulder, whispering into his ear: "Finish him off tonight, and we can take all his things too!"
Upon hearing this, the group of Japanese men immediately revealed ferocious grins!
In the hotel room, Member Si Ye, having finished his shower, lay sprawled on the sofa wrapped in a bath towel, devouring teriyaki chicken cutlets while the noisy sounds of a baseball game played on the television.
It wasn't until the moonlight climbed onto the windowsill that he crawled into bed, burping from fullness.
Two o'clock in the morning,
Eight or nine Japanese men quietly entered the room and covered Member Si Ye with ether; Member Si Ye opened his eyes, terrified and wanting to scream, but his mouth and nose were covered, and his hands and feet were pinned down.
Soon, he lost consciousness.
Next came the punches and kicks.
"Bang, bang, bang~~~"
The Japanese men vented fiercely for several minutes before leaving with his luggage, taking everything inside, including his passport and cash.
At noon the next day, Member Si Ye woke up under the blinding sunlight, a scent of blood filling the air, along with excruciating pain all over his body.
His wallet, passport, and the clothes in his suitcase had vanished without a trace.
Furthermore, one of his hands had been beaten until it was crippled, the bone broken.
"Ah~~~~"
Soon, the police arrived.
The San Francisco police saw his miserable state, and after understanding the situation, they were speechless.
You, a Chinese person, coming to Japantown—isn't this just asking for death?
These police couldn't even manage the affairs of their own citizens, so they certainly wouldn't bother with the affairs of a tourist like Member Si Ye.
With a very perfunctory "We will help you look for it," they left immediately.
Once the police were gone,
The Japanese hotel manager looked fierce and menacing: "Chinese, get out immediately!"
Soon,
Member Si Ye was kicked out of the hotel.
Japanese youths gathered outside the door, holding their phones and jeering,
"Baka!"
"Get back to your ***!"
Member Si Ye walked barefoot through the streets of Japantown, looking at his disheveled reflection in the shop windows, as if in a nightmare.
What happened to the promised freedom and democracy?
What happened to the promised beacon?
Why was it like this?
He had only arrived in the United States for one day, and he had already been taught a harsh lesson by the beacon of freedom!
"To the birth of the Princess, cheers!!"
Li Superintendent Superintendent Situ Superintendent Situ Situ Situ Situ Situ Jie, Brother Leopard, Li Qiao, Li Li Cangdong... and others were eating at a restaurant, having a small celebration.
After the celebratory toast,
Brother Leopard said to Li Superintendent Superintendent Situ Superintendent Situ Situ Situ Situ Situ Jie: "Brother Superintendent Superintendent Situ Superintendent Situ Situ Situ Situ Situ Jie, the list of candidates for the San Francisco City Council has been released, and you are on it."
In three months, which is December, the elections for governor, state assemblyman, mayor, and city councilman for California, Los Angeles, and San Francisco would officially begin.
Then, on January 1, 1996, they would officially announce their assumption of office.
And this time,
Li Superintendent Superintendent Situ Superintendent Situ Situ Situ Situ Situ Jie was prominently listed among the candidates for the San Francisco City Council (Board of Supervisors).
Li Qiao was happy: "From now on, our Umbrella Corporation can also have a councilman."
Li Li Cangdong smiled: "The Democratic Party wants to win over us Chinese; how can they not give us a councilman?"
After the big battle with the Japanese, and the connectivity of the Umbrella Corporation, the Chinese community could be said to be unprecedentedly united.
There were 400,000 Chinese in the entire San Francisco Bay Area.
Plus the hundreds of thousands in Los Angeles, the Umbrella Corporation could influence over a million Chinese.
With so many votes, both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party were very covetous.
Therefore,
It was easy for Li Superintendent Superintendent Situ Superintendent Situ Situ Situ Situ Situ Jie to secure a seat on the San Francisco City Council.
"Ring, ring, ring~~~"
At this moment,
Brother Leopard's phone rang.
"Found that Member Si Ye?"
"Went to stay in Japantown? And then had his arm broken by the Japanese?"
"Passport, money, bank cards, all lost?"
After Brother Leopard hung up the phone, he told Li Superintendent Superintendent Situ Superintendent Situ Situ Situ Situ Situ Jie the specific situation.
Li Superintendent Superintendent Situ Superintendent Situ Situ Situ Situ Situ Jie nodded: "Handle those on the blacklist according to standard procedure... The Japanese broke his hand, so that saves us the trouble of doing it ourselves... Send him to a regular hospital, get him treated, and set him up with a high-interest loan..."
Li Superintendent Superintendent Situ Superintendent Situ Situ Situ Situ Situ Jie would not question Brother Zu's blacklist in the slightest.
Brother Leopard: "Okay!"
In a flash,
8 days later,
Member Si Ye walked out of the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center with a pale face.
He looked back at the building.
This was not a hospital for curing illnesses.
This was a man-eating den!
Over these 8 days, he had undergone a bone grafting and fixation surgery.
Surgery and medical expenses—500,000 US dollars!
Member Si Ye felt as if the sky had collapsed!
The money he had saved from decades of hard work wasn't even enough for one surgery!
"Mr. Member Si Ye... don't worry, our wages in the United States are still very high; as long as you have enough ability, a monthly salary of 10,000 US dollars is easy to get."
"500,000 US dollars is easy to earn back!"
Li Wanqiang comforted him from the side.
Member Si Ye looked at him gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Li; if it weren't for you running around for me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have even been able to get the surgery for my bone..."
Li Wanqiang smiled: "This is what our Umbrella Corporation should do."
Member Si Ye: "Your Umbrella Corporation is truly wonderful."
Li Wanqiang: "This is all our boss's philosophy; we are just carrying out his philosophy."
Member Si Ye was filled with awe: "Your boss is truly great."
Li Wanqiang nodded, serious: "Yes, our boss is very great!"
Member Si Ye: "By the way, is your boss surnamed Li?"
Li Wanqiang: "Oh, no, our boss is Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu."
Member Si Ye: "???"
He stared blankly at Li Wanqiang.
No?
Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu?
Member Si Ye: "Hong Kong? Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu?"
Li Wanqiang looked at Member Si Ye playfully: "That's right, it's Brother Zu... Congratulations, you owe 500,000 US dollars in usury!"
At this moment, the good friend Li Wanqiang, who had just been friendly and kind, revealed his true colors.
Hehehehe~~~~
