The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 259 Old Man Huo is looking for Old Man Li
Perhaps this is Zhou Mingchang's real intention of making a big fuss about Huo Qiqiang's momentary mistake!
As the saying goes, wealth and glory are destined by heaven.

You can only take it directly, not indirectly.

If he was really asking for a favor from me in an open and aboveboard manner, I would not have any opinion about him personally even if I disagreed.

But Zhou Mingchang secretly forced himself to do this kind of childish thing, allowing himself to see clearly the man's mind and courage.

This made Mr. Huo, who had always been calm, secretly angry.
This person won't go far!
It doesn't matter when you are at the lower level, but when you reach the middle and higher levels, especially the higher levels, if you don't have a sincere heart and truly work for the welfare of the country and the people, it will end in a bleak way!
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight!
With the support of the people, there will be good fortune in the dark. If you fail to live up to this good fortune and treat the country's important tools as a joke, your fortune will take a sharp turn for the worse and you will suffer the consequences.

The will of the people cannot be violated, the will of the people cannot be offended, and the will of the people cannot be betrayed
"What should we do now?"

Li Dantong was very adept at business, but she was completely clueless about officialdom. Mr. Huo's words made her realize the seriousness of the problem, and she asked hurriedly.

Mr. Huo smiled slightly, his old eyes revealing the wisdom that can see through people's hearts and minds: "The best way is to let Qiqiang withdraw."

"It turns out that he has not had enough experience at the grassroots level and is simply unable to cope with such a complex situation."

"If he didn't hold such a high position, or was just an ordinary police officer, this kind of thing wouldn't happen to him. Even if he wanted to make such a mistake, it would be difficult, and others wouldn't target him with good intentions."

"What, withdraw? How can that be possible? Qi Qiang has made a lot of efforts to get to where he is today, and it's not all due to the Huo family's connections."

Li Dantong came today to ask Mr. Huo to find a way to help her son overcome the difficulties. She didn't expect that Mr. Huo would have such an idea, and she felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.

People in the world can withstand honor but cannot stand humiliation; they can accept gain but cannot bear loss.

Mr. Huo was not surprised by Li Dantong's persistence and greed. He just looked out the window and said in a serious voice:

"A high position not only means more power, but also more important responsibilities, which is the same in any field."

"Dantong, you also understand this. Even if I helped to say hello and helped him to get over it this time, what about next time?"

"High-level politics is very complicated. It has only just begun. There will be greater tribulations waiting for him in the future. We can help him temporarily, but we can't help him forever!"

Mr. Huo sighed slightly. The sharpness of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. How can a child from a wealthy family endure such hardship?
"This"

Li Dantong knew that what her father-in-law said made sense, but it was a little hard for her to accept it for the time being.
There are so many aristocratic families in Hong Kong, and most of their children are in the business world, relying on the family business to make a living. The most promising one is the eldest son of the Li family, Li Yaoguang, who has risen to the high position of deputy director in the Financial Secretary.

It was because of the long-term vision of seeing the eldest son of the Li family give up the family business that was within his grasp and enter the official career that Huo Juren personally proposed a marriage alliance with the Li family.

You know, not everyone can give up an easy and comfortable life of wealth for the long-term development of the family. This kind of courage and perseverance in shouldering heavy responsibilities is highly admired by Mr. Huo, who has experienced hardships throughout his life.

Life is full of ups and downs. If there is no one to carry on the legacy, no matter how big the family business is, it will be squandered by descendants.

Or you may offend a powerful person and be destroyed in one day.

Mr. Huo, who has experienced ups and downs for more than half a century, has seen too many things like this.

That's why he supported his grandson to enter the official career and got strong support from the family, hoping to raise a future pillar for the family.

This allowed the Huo family to continue to prosper even after losing the Juren.
But now it seems that it is still unsatisfactory!
Mr. Huo was somewhat unwilling to give up at this time, as he was old and there were no outstanding talents in other rooms.

Huo Qiqiang is already considered the tallest among the short ones in the third generation. If even he is not capable, who will the Huo family rely on in the future?
Mr. Huo's eyes showed a worried look, and his wise eyes could not help but be a little confused at this moment.
Seeing Mr. Huo's disappointed expression, Li Dantong panicked and hurriedly threw out the backup plan she had thought of before coming here: "Dad, the chief inspector who had a conflict with Qiqiang is not an outsider. He happens to be the son-in-law of my younger brother Li Yaozu."

"With this relationship, you said I could mediate and ask him to take the case back. Wouldn't Qiqiang's problem be solved easily?"

"Oh?"

"Is there such a thing? Has Cunwang agreed to their relationship? Can you tell me about this person in detail?" Mr. Huo asked with great interest.

For some reason, Mr. Huo wanted to know every move of Li Cunwang, the cunning old fox.

Seeing that her father-in-law was interested, Li Dantong perked up and introduced everything she knew about Li Yan and Li Xin'er from beginning to end, without any detail.

This also included the interview that the four members of the Li family had together two months ago.

After saying this, he looked at Mr. Huo with anticipation.

Upon learning that Li Yan was born in a grassroots family, he volunteered to go deep into the tiger's den and worked undercover for five or six years. In the end, he uprooted the Ni family, completed a gorgeous turnaround, successfully returned to the police force, and was promoted to Chief Inspector.

Not only was he valued by Liang Feihu and Huang Zhicheng from West Kowloon, but he was also recognized as the son-in-law by the four members of the Li family on the spot!
After listening to this, Mr. Huo's eyes kept flashing and he was thinking quickly in his mind.

From Li Dantong's introduction, Mr. Huo, with his life experience and understanding of worldly affairs, keenly sensed that something was wrong.

This person is too capable, and his resume and achievements are too perfect.

Being an undercover police officer is not an easy job. It is risky and has little reward. You will be away from the rear for a long time and have no connections to rely on. Many people fail and cannot even return to the police force safely.

Anyone who can achieve such outstanding results without a strong background in the police force is either the chosen one or has extremely good luck.

Or they are people with extremely mature thoughts, and their abilities, means, courage and strategies are all top-notch.

Moreover, one must be extremely proficient in the operating rules of official career and be able to accurately grasp, or create more opportunities.

Thinking of this, Mr. Huo became very interested in Li Yan mentioned by Li Dantong: "Do you have any information about this Li Yan?"

Li Dantong hurriedly took out from her bag the growth information and files of Li Yan that she had sent people to look up in order to help her son pass the test and to get to know her niece's husband.

After taking it, Mr. Huo put on his reading glasses and looked at it carefully.

This lasted for an hour, and Li Dantong had no choice but to wait obediently. This old man was a person who could talk to the real bosses, so how could he be ignored? Besides, she came here today to beg for help!
Although Qiqiang is the legitimate grandson of the Huo family, Mr. Huo has more than ten children and a large number of grandchildren. Why should he focus all his efforts on Qiqiang? How can people from other families accept this?

Mr. Huo also has to be fair and give an explanation to the people in other branches, and he cannot use the family's resources for one person unscrupulously.

Li Dantong was distracted and thinking wildly, hoping that this old man who could reach the sky would not give up on Qiqiang and think of another way.
Mr. Huo read very carefully. Sometimes when he read the later part, he would flip back to the earlier part to compare them back and forth.

About half an hour later, Mr. Huo put down the information and said with emotion: "This young man is not simple!"

“Hope and brightness are the characteristics of those who have vision”

After a long while, he leaned back on the armchair and sighed, "This old fox can see further than I do!"

"He quietly established another pillar for the Li family. Why can't my Huo family meet such a person?"

No, I can't give up!

Mr. Huo stood up abruptly and paced back and forth a few times, as if he was thinking about something. Li Dantong did not dare to disturb him seeing the old man's serious expression.

Various thoughts and ideas kept flashing in Mr. Huo's mind. Based on his own experience, Mr. Huo came up with a mature plan.

After pondering for a while, Mr. Huo made up his mind. He reached out to stop Li Dantong who wanted to ask questions, picked up the phone on the table and dialed.

"Hey"

"I'm looking for Old Man Li?"

"Who am I? I am his relative, Old Man Huo."

Upon seeing this, Li Dantong immediately kept quiet and looked at the man who had a heavy expression just now. The moment the call was connected, Mr. Huo's temperament changed, and the smile on his face was sly and smart, like an old naughty boy returning to nature.

He knew without hesitation that the person on the other end of the phone was his father, Li Cunwang.

Usually at times like this, Li Cunwang would drink tea in the back garden, and when he was in a good mood, he would cut flowers and bonsai!
If it is not an important call, I usually won't answer it.
Li Dantong was a little confused. What did Mr. Huo want to do?

After waiting for about half a minute, perhaps his father answered the phone. Mr. Huo smiled and said, "Old Li, congratulations!"

"I heard that your granddaughter is getting married. I, old Huo, am so envious!"

"."

"Don't worry, I will definitely go to the wedding. But you know, Dantong's niece is getting married, and as an elder, I can't just stand by and watch without showing my support."

"Well, let that guy named Li Yan come to my house as a guest this weekend."

"I am an old man, and although I don't have much else to offer, I still have some good judgment in judging people. I'll help you check things out, but you can't let our granddaughter end up in the wrong hands, don't you agree?"

"."

The speakerphone was not turned on, so Li Dantong couldn't hear what her father was saying.

I can only guess something from the old man's reaction. It seems that my father is not very interested in Mr. Huo's proposal and wants to decline it politely.

This made Li Dantong a little confused as to what the two old men in their seventies were talking about.
Mr. Huo listened patiently to the other party's excuses. He seemed to have sensed Li Cunwang's true intention and a look of understanding appeared on his face.

He said with a hint of amusement: "What? You'll see it naturally when you get married."

"no."

"By then, the matter will have been settled, and it will be too late, won't it?"

"Let me test you in advance. There are many young people nowadays. You don't know that they are good at disguising themselves."

"You've also met my eldest daughter, Huo Siqing. She's well-educated, well-mannered, beautiful, and has a unique vision. When the time comes, I'll ask her to come and make an assessment to see if Li Yan is worthy of being entrusted to my beloved children and grandchildren for life."

"If you are wrong, I can help you for the sake of our lifelong friendship! Listen to both sides and you will be enlightened, but only believe in one side and you will be blinded. You should seek opinions from a wide range of people. If the young man is really too bad, I will make the decision and help our beloved granddaughter reject him and introduce her to a better one."

"If you are not satisfied, I can give you a grandson-in-law. Then you can let your daughter-in-law choose any one in my Huo family. That's ok, right?"

"."

"Hey, you old Li, you're still anxious."

Mr. Huo was holding the phone and heard a busy tone of "beep...beep..." coming from the other end.

"Hahaha"

As happy as discovering someone's secret.

In the face of Li Dantong's puzzled look, he did not explain anything, but smiled and shook his head, saying: "Your father is on his way here, tell the kitchen to cook a few dishes, we two brothers will have a couple of drinks at noon, no one is allowed to disturb us."

"Take out the bottle of 20-year-old Moutai that I hid in the wine cellar. Old Li has been eyeing this bottle of old wine for a long time."

"Today is a good day, let's open it!"

Li Dantong didn't understand what Mr. Huo meant. Mr. Huo in front of her seemed like a different person. The majestic and heavy aura just now had disappeared. Now he looked more like a child who had stolen candy without being discovered.
