Chapter 832

"Congratulations to Ah Xing and Ah Min~~~"

"Blessed with a son!"

Mingxin Hospital, Obstetrics and Gynecology Ward.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu and others congratulated Ah Xing; Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu casually slapped the "Talent Cultivation Card" and "Healthy Growth Card" onto the baby.

Five-Star second generation +1!

Beast of burden +1!

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu thought about it; Chen Jiaju's daughter would also be born in September.

Beast of burden continues +1!

2 hours later, after Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu returned to Central Plaza,

Just signed a few documents,

Secretary Liang Xiaorou pushed the door and came in to report to Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu.

"Brother Zu,"

Liang Xiaorou's voice was clear and capable, "Just now, the Huaxin Agency called and said that next month, sponsored by Standard Chartered Bank, they are holding a marathon race; the route is from Sheung Shui, Lok Ma Chau, Huanggang Port, and finally to Shenzhen Stadium... They want to invite you as a guest."

"Huaxin Agency said that this competition activity is an activity held to welcome the return, symbolizing the close connection between Hong Kong and the mainland, and is of great significance to the future of Hong Kong."

"They want to invite you to participate as a guest."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was surprised: "Sponsored by Standard Chartered Bank?"

Liang Xiaorou: "Yes."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu thought about it; this Standard Chartered is obviously scared and wants to please the East.

And this implication is also very good: running from Hong Kong back to the country, implying returning to the embrace.

This Standard Chartered is quite interesting.

Thinking of this, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu said: "Tell them that our Five-Star Bank also wants to sponsor, and we want to become the main sponsor. In addition, let ATV focus on this project."

Liang Xiaorou: "Okay."

"Also..."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu said again: "Standard Chartered Bank is doing this activity, so our Five-Star Bank cannot fall behind; why don't we do a cross-strait dragon boat race, invite dragon boat teams from the mainland to Hong Kong to compete, and bring Hong Kong and the mainland closer."

"And this year's Dragon Boat Festival is June 9, which is about to return, just in time for the excitement."

Liang Xiaorou nodded: "Okay, I'll go implement it immediately!"

April, gradually reaching summer.

The weather in Hong Kong is getting hotter and hotter.

This day,

New Territories North Sheung Shui Village,

A section of the road was closed and turned into a marathon track.

At the starting point of the competition, a red banner was hung high, with the words "Warmly celebrate the start of the Standard Chartered Hong Kong-Shenzhen Marathon, welcome the return of Hong Kong" written on it.

A rostrum was set up at the event site, covered with a red carpet, and the background board was printed with the race logo and the slogan "Hong Kong and the mainland, hand in hand toward a new journey."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was dressed in a straight suit, standing on one side of the rostrum, beside him were representatives of the Huaxin Agency and leaders of the Return Preparatory Committee.

And there were more than 3,000 participating athletes.

In the previous life, this activity only had 1,076 athletes, but this time, there were more than 3,000.

This proves that everything Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu has done since the Knowledge Cup has not been in vain.

"Distinguished guests, friends! Today, we gather in Sheung Shui to witness the start of this marathon race with special significance... It is a vivid symbol of the close connection between Hong Kong and the mainland, and it will inject new vitality and hope into the future of Hong Kong..."

The voice of the person in charge of the Preparatory Committee was passionate.

There was warm applause from the audience.

Subsequently, the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, along with the Huaxin Agency representative, Preparatory Committee leaders, and Standard Chartered leaders, stepped forward, picked up scissors, and with a "click," cut the red silk ribbon.

"Now, I announce..."

"The Hong Kong-Shenzhen Marathon race, officially begins."

Immediately following, with a crisp and loud gunshot, the marathon race officially started.

More than 3,000 athletes started to swarm and quickly ran out of the starting line.

Return to Causeway Bay.

At 3 PM, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu and Ruan Mei went to buy groceries together.

Became an ordinary citizen buying groceries at the vegetable market · Mr. Guan!

"Mr. Guan, what are you buying this time?"

"Are there any good goods?"

"Yes, I just happened to catch a humphead wrasse."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's eyes lit up.

Good stuff!

Don't look at its colorful appearance, as if it's poisonous, but in fact, the meat quality is even better than the leopard coral grouper. And the taste is tender, smooth, and chewy, rich in oil but without a greasy feeling, and it comes with a unique sweet taste.

One of the four famous fish.

As for how to eat it?

In the Cantonese region, it is basically steamed, wanting the freshness.

"How many catties?"

"Should be a little over 3 catties, this weight is just right, too big and it's easy to be dry..."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu took it directly.

Then he went around 3 circles and bought the other groceries.

This is, the chat of the neighbors buying groceries next to him caught Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's attention.

"Sister Tao, buying so many groceries?"

"Yes, the young master is coming back, so I have to cook some food for him."

"You are really good to your young master..."

"No way, I watched him grow up."

What caught Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's attention was not these words, but the words that followed.

"Sister Tao, are your legs okay?"

"No, I'm old."

"I remember you live on the 7th floor, right? There's no elevator, carrying so many groceries..."

"No way, I can't go to a nursing home, right?"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu looked over and sized up that 'Sister Tao'; her hair was black, but one could see it was dyed black, she was wearing simple clothes, her waist was hunched, and the groceries she was carrying were obviously a bit heavy.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu always felt familiar.

Sister Tao bought the groceries very quickly, and then left the vegetable market step by step slowly.

It is estimated that she is old, walking very slowly.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu had already finished buying groceries at this time, thought about it, and handed the groceries to Xi Gui: "You take the groceries back, I want to see something..."

Then he pulled Ruan Mei, Ding Hu followed behind, and followed Sister Tao in front all the way.

Out of the street, walking along the street for about 800 meters, she bent her body and walked forward slowly. Finally, she came to an old building.

Then Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu watched her go up step by step, stopping halfway up the floor to lean against the wall and rest.

Finally, it took five or six minutes to get to the 7th floor, open the door, and go in.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu looked at her back and asked Ruan Mei beside him: "Did Grandma Cai also do this when she went up the stairs before?"

Ruan Mei held Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's hand: "It was okay, we lived in Wong Tai Sin Estate at the time, it was on the 3rd floor, not high."

"Go~~"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu took Ruan Mei downstairs, Ding Hu waited downstairs.

Just at this time,

A Wah came downstairs, preparing to go upstairs.

"Eh, Mr. Guan!" Wah looked at Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu and hurriedly saluted.

"What is your name?" Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu sized up this Wah and asked curiously.

"My name is Liang Luo Jie, a film producer, this is my business card." Liang Luo Jie took out a business card and handed it to Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu.

Although he didn't know why Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was curious to ask him, he had always wanted to pull investment and was in a mess; now that a big boss was in front of him, he naturally had to seize the opportunity.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu took the business card and glanced at it: "Film producer?"

Roughly recalled a movie.

This movie is a biographical film, which is what really happened.

The specific plot is: Sister Tao is a 60-year-old servant of the Liang family, never married, no children, served the Liang family for four generations, and later gave birth to the fifth generation.

And Jie was brought up by Sister Tao since childhood; now the family has moved to the United States, Jie stayed in Hong Kong temporarily because of work, but also often traveled on business, but no matter when, as long as he returned home, that door was always left for him, and Sister Tao could always serve Jie's favorite food for the first time.

However, every time he ate, Jie habitually picked on the food, didn't lift his head when receiving rice, and after eating and drinking, Jie crossed his legs and drank tea leisurely. When Sister Tao finished feeding the cat and struggled to get up, Jie couldn't see it at all.

This is a typical young master style, but Sister Tao is also used to it.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu nodded and accepted the business card.

Then he left.

That night, ATV and TVB news reported on the grand occasion of the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Marathon.

The next day,

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu returned to Central Plaza, his own office.

Wu Lianqian reported: "Regarding the dragon boat race, we contacted some dragon boat teams in the country through the Hong Kong and Macao Office..."

Then she gave a piece of paper to Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu.

"These are the lists above..."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu took the list and began to look at it.

"Eh... there is the Liaoning Long Zhoudui..."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was happy, and the pen circled it on it.

"Eh, there is also the Foshan Diejiao Long Zhoudui?"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu continued to draw circles.

Liaoning team, the dragon boat team killer of later generations, the big brother of the fun KPI contribution list.

Foshan Diejiao team, the dragon boat drift king of later generations.

"These two I circled must come, let them choose the other dragon boat teams themselves..."

"Okay."

Wu Lianqian glanced at the names of the two dragon boat teams circled by Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu and was a little puzzled.

Why circle these two?

Is there anything special?

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "By the way, I'll give you a task, arrange for Five-Star Property to submit a report on the elevator equipment ratio of all buildings in Hong Kong, how many elderly people over 60 are there..."

"I want to promote an elevator installation plan, let old buildings without elevators install elevators..."

Wu Lianqian frowned upon hearing this: "Brother Zu, this plan is probably a bit difficult, right? Many old buildings don't have much space, and there may not be enough room to install elevators."

"And, there are also the residents on the first floor, they should not agree to install elevators, this will cause their housing prices to fall..."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu nodded: "I have also thought about these things you said, so I don't necessarily have to install elevators in every old building... Go and count the data first, and then let Five-Star Property do a public opinion survey for those residents to see their attitude..."

Wu Lianqian: "Okay, I'll go arrange it."

Five-Star Property, busy again.

2 days later.

Nanhai, Diejiao Township.

This Lingnan water town is composed of multiple villages, with water networks crisscrossing between villages and winding rivers.

Its dragon boat history can be traced back a thousand years.

At this time,

The mayor received a notice from above: let the Diejiao Long Zhoudui go to participate in the Hong Kong Long Zhousai to welcome the return.

The mayor jumped up excitedly.

What is this?

Honor!

Then the mayor came here happily and told the township head here.

The township head was excited when he heard it.

Without saying a word, he started calling the villages of Diejiao at high speed.

Tantou Village, the village head just received the emergency notice conveyed by the superior, his face flushed with excitement, he grabbed the big loudspeaker on the village committee office desk, rushed out of the house, and jumped onto the motorcycle usually used for walking around the village.

While riding the motorcycle, he shouted with the loudspeaker:

"Villagers, listen up! Great news!"

The sound spread throughout the village through the big loudspeaker.

The villagers who were busy at home and working in the fields put down their work one after another.

"Just now the superior leaders notified that the country named our Diejiao dragon boat team to go to Hong Kong to participate in the dragon boat race celebrating Hong Kong's return!"

"This is the supreme glory of our Diejiao, it is the pride of all the villages in the entire Diejiao!"

"How important Hong Kong's return is, everyone knows!"

"All villagers pull the young and strong back..."

Now,

The whole village boiled over.

And on the other side, Chaji Village also exploded.

"This is a rare opportunity, we must select the strongest players to form the most elite team."

"This is not only a sports event, but also a good opportunity to enhance the feelings of compatriots in the two places and condense national strength."

"This is the honor of our Diejiao!"

"Everyone, can we complete this task beautifully?"

"Yes! Definitely can!"

Countless villagers were impassioned.

Soon, the selection activities of each village were carried out in full swing.

The next day, by the river in Tantou Village, the drums were shaking the sky, dragon boats were flying on the water, and the candidate team members were rowing hard, with water splashing everywhere.

And the villagers were also extremely enthusiastic, running over to cheer every day.

After layers of screening, the elite players of each village stood out. They gathered together and were about to form a super dragon boat team representing Diejiao, embarking on the journey to Hong Kong.

On the Liaoning side,

Many dragon boat teams received the notice from the superior and cheered.

Honor!

However, when they thought of the 10-degree water temperature in the river, they couldn't help but want to cry.

How to train!

However, for the sake of honor.

Fight!

At this time, with less than 3 months left before the return time,

All of Hong Kong fell into a return cold/heat wave.

There are welcomes, such as the drills of various departments during the handover on July 1, such as today's Hong Kong-Shenzhen Marathon, such as the later Victoria Harbour fireworks display, the Dragon's Brilliance Evening Party, the Ten Thousand Hearts Gala... of course, there is no shortage of the power handover ceremony and the founding celebration.

The entire Hong Kong situation is like cooking oil on a hot fire!

Soros Fund Company.

Rodney Jones and other core members naturally felt this atmosphere personally.

Rodney Jones announced a piece of news:

"Everyone..."

"Currently, the headquarters has sent news, attaching great importance to the situation in Hong Kong, and finally determined the attack order, putting Hong Kong in October for the first attack?"

The members were all surprised.

"October?"

Everyone was excited.

Good, it's finally here!
