Hong Kong Movies: You Hongxingzi, what the hell is the charity king?

Chapter 231 "230" ATV News broke the news, Guan Zu: That’s right, the Li family did it!

noon,

Peninsula Hotel.

Inside an elegant and retro box.

Guan Zu and Ruan Mei were having dinner with Lin Daheng and his wife.

Two hours ago, Tan Meili contacted the program director as requested by Guan Zu and found Lin Daheng, wanting to invite him to have dinner together.

Then Mr. Lin was very considerate and made it a "family dinner".

So it became that Lin Daheng's wife had dinner and chatted with Ruan Mei, while Guan Zu talked about business with Lin Daheng.

This year, Lin Daheng is already 77 years old, but he is in good spirits and has a good appetite. He eats a few bites from time to time and then talks to Guan Zu about food.

"Chaoshan cuisine emphasizes the word 'fresh', and the best way to embody this is our Chaoshan seafood."

"This Chaoshan steamed fish dish is especially delicious. It uses fresh sea fish, with onions, ginger, garlic and special sauce. The steamed fish is tender and smooth, and the soup is delicious. Every bite is unforgettable."

He picked up a piece of fish and tasted it.
"I grew up in Chaoshan before I was 16, and I still remember the taste of that time..."

"There is another dish that is the pride of us Chaoshan people - Chaoshan braised goose. We use fat goose meat and carefully braise it, making the meat tender and juicy..."

"What a pity! My teeth are not in good condition now, so I can't eat braised goose. You can try more..."

Guan Zu took a few bites and praised it highly.

Lin Daheng took another bite of the rice noodle soup. "This rice noodle is one of the Chaoshan delicacies. My teeth are not good now, so I eat this more often. Fresh and tender rice noodles, delicious seafood, and special sauce..."

As Lin Daheng continued his story, the waiter brought out several exquisite Chaoshan dishes...

Guan Zu usually doesn't do much research on these things, so Lin Daheng has given him a good scientific introduction.

After almost finishing the meal, Lin Daheng put down his chopsticks and started talking about business.

"During this period, I have to thank you for your "Millionaire", which finally allowed ATV to no longer be suppressed by TVB."

"You're welcome. This is a win-win cooperation."

"No, no, no, it is still us at ATV that benefit more... From this program, I can see that you, A-Zu, are a person who cares about the motherland."

Guan Zu quickly said modestly: "I am not as good as Lin Daheng."

Mr. Lin has done a lot of charity work in the mainland. In his hometown of Chaoshan, Mr. Lin is much more famous than Mr. Li. There are many Mr. Lin primary schools, middle schools, convention and exhibition centers, etc.

However, he is still not as good as Mr. Shao, who built Yifu buildings all over the country.

Mr. Lin and Mr. Lin talked about charity again and praised each other.

Finally, when the meal was almost finished, Lin Daheng finally talked about the news blackout.

"This was also ordered by my good-for-nothing little son. I have already taught him a lesson. Hey, I also hope that you can make friends with him."

In fact, Lin Daheng could completely say that he was doing the job of a news director, but he was not sure about Guan Zu. After meeting him today, he felt that Guan Zu was extraordinary and might achieve great success in the future.

So, he just said that it was his son who did it and admitted his mistake first, so that Guan Zu would not be embarrassed to bring up the past later.

If he doesn't make things clear this time, there will always be rifts between them in the future. Especially since his two sons are useless and this is giving him a headache. If Guan Zu catches the opportunity to teach them a lesson, it will be embarrassing.

"Mr. Lin, you are too polite." Guan Zu was very polite, "I also hope to make friends with Mr. Lin. I, Guan Zu, love making friends the most."

Lin Daheng was very happy. He was old and didn't want to get into disputes over many things. It was a good thing that Guan Zu gave him face and didn't care about it.

"That afternoon, ATV's news department will send a host to interview you... and then go on the news at 19:30 to help you clarify. The news will last a total of 40 minutes, but it can be delayed to 20 minutes, of which you will be given minutes."

This treatment is too high.

Guan Zu raised his glass: "Thank you, Mr. Lin!"

……

……

in the afternoon,

A red Toyota was parked downstairs of the Five Star Company.

A woman with short curly hair and wearing a red skirt got out of the car, followed by a fat reporter.

“This is a five-star company.”

"We are going to interview Mr. Guan Zu later. This is a task assigned by the boss himself, so we must not be careless."

"And you've also heard that even our news director was fired. You should know how serious this matter is."

"Don't worry, Sister Yi!"

The person who came was none other than ATV's Huang Jieyi. (From "Unstoppable Passion")
The flower of ATV reporters.

She has many suitors, including many wealthy young men, lawyers, doctors, and elites from all walks of life.

Huang Jieyi had participated in an interview with Guan Zu before, so she knew him, but not very well.

Joined a five-star company.

Under the guidance of the front desk clerk, I came to Guan Zu's office.

Knock on the door,

"Boss, the ATV reporter is here."

"come in."

As soon as Huang Jieyi entered, she saw Guan Zu sitting at his desk, working.

Then I saw the couplet hanging on the wall behind Guan Zu.

Obey the law!

Be kind to others!

magnanimous!

"Slut...?"

The fat photographer behind Huang Jieyi couldn't help but say.

Huang Jieyi felt so embarrassed and quickly said, "Shut up, this is "frank"!"

Fat photographer: “Huh??”

Guan Zu stood up at this time and came to Huang Jieyi and the fat man: "Hahaha~~~ Welcome Miss Huang, and this gentleman, come here... please take a seat!"

Fang Ting came in with a teapot to make tea. Guan Zu asked the two to sit down and said, "Thank you very much for coming today. I'm sure you have read the many newspaper reports this morning."

Huang Jieyi nodded: "I have seen it. It seems that they have discussed it together to throw dirty water on Mr. Guan."

Guan Zu sighed and said, "Before we officially start, I can reveal the real inside story to you, so that we can facilitate the interview later."

Huang Jieyi sat upright and said, "Mr. Guan, please speak."

Guan Zu: "You probably know what I did when Shantou Street was on fire last year, right?"

Huang Jieyi nodded: "I know this because I was there at the time."

Guan Zu: "That's good. At first, the Li family wanted to cover up the cause of the fire and attribute it to an old man who was burned to death. But we all know that it was the power company's cable bridge that was aging and caught fire, and then ignited the entire Shantou Street. So at first, the Li family didn't want to take responsibility and didn't want to compensate for the huge loss of hundreds of millions."

"In the end, it triggered protests by several thousand citizens, and I was fortunate enough to be nominated by them as a negotiating representative, and successfully obtained 5 million yuan in compensation from the Li family."

Huang Jieyi and the fat man stood in awe.

That's 5 million yuan. To be able to get so much from Li Chao, one can imagine how hard this man worked.

"And this time, the issue of forced demolition..."

Guan Zu recounted the story in detail, including the various methods of forced demolition and relocation encountered by the residents, the process of Director Wang Bo taking Gao Lao and Fourth Uncle to dinner with the Black Society, and Guan Zu's dinner with Mr. Li.

"In the end, I went from 6000 million to 1.2 million."

"And just yesterday, all the newspapers in Hong Kong reported my good deed, and it was all front-page headlines."

"But I didn't say hello to any newspaper media at all!"

"Suddenly all the front page headlines were mine."

"I suspect that someone behind the scenes is trying to flatter me."

"And today's newspapers proved that my guess was correct. Someone wanted to flatter me. The more I was praised yesterday, the harder I was criticized today."

Huang Jieyi couldn't believe it: "Mr. Guan, do you mean that the Li family is dealing with you?"

Guan Zu smiled bitterly: "The interview hasn't started yet, so I can tell you for sure that I believe that it was the Li family who was looking for trouble with me because I caused them heavy losses twice!"

"And today, I contacted many media and newspapers, and they all said they would not accept my clarification. Your TV station and TVB also said they would not accept my clarification... In other words, I have been banned from the news."

"Who has such great ability? And who has such a big grudge against me? The only possibility is the Li family!"

Huang Jieyi and the fat photographer were secretly shocked after hearing this.

I didn't expect this to be the inside story.

But everything is connected, the logic is clear and well-founded.

Is it possible for ordinary people to ban the news? Only a powerful force like the Li family can do it.

In the beginning, Guan Zu actually wanted to frame the last time the Independent Commission Against Corruption and the Inland Revenue Bureau investigated him on the Li family, but after thinking about it, he felt that the time would make the logic of the events a little less smooth, so he gave up.

Huang Jieyi said seriously: "Mr. Guan, this time our boss asked us to cooperate with you in the interview. To be safe, we will finalize the content of the interview first, and then conduct the interview. How about that?"

Guan Zu nodded and said to Fang Ting: "See, this is called professionalism!"

quickly,

The two parties began to finalize the content of the interview. Guan Zu also called Jian Aowei to come over and have him review the interview content to avoid any loopholes being discovered by the Li family's legal team.

Half an hour later, the interview officially began.

The first half of the report is basically based on what Guan Zu said before.
Later, Guan Zu presented evidence to prove that he did not take any of the 1.2 million yuan as hard work pay, but gave it all to the residents who were relocated.

……

After 1 hour, the interview ended.

Then he showed it to Jian Aowei who came rushing over and finally confirmed that there was no problem.

It is 16:19 now, and there are still 00 hours until 3:.

"Mr. Guan, today's interview ends here. According to the boss's instructions, the interview content will be broadcast on the evening news at 19:00."

"In addition, we will be interviewing the residents of the demolished houses and the residents of Shantou Street. I hope you can help arrange manpower..."

"These interviews will be made into a special feature for special reporting."

"That's a good idea!" Guan Zu nodded with satisfaction, "Don't worry, I will arrange for someone to take you there."

No matter how much he says, it can't compare to what the residents say about him in person.

……

……

In a flash,
19:00 pm.

ATV News spent 20 minutes on the interview with Guan Zu and made a featured report.

"Today, I believe all Hong Kong citizens have read today's newspapers. Most newspapers reported the same thing: the famous philanthropist Mr. Guan blackmailed the Li family, embezzled money, and deceived the elderly..."

"And today, our reporter specially interviewed Mr. Guan to understand this matter from another angle..."

(Screen: Guan Zu sits on the sofa, looking righteous.)
"These newspapers are deliberately slandering me!"

"I did receive 1.2 million yuan in demolition compensation from the Li family, but I did not take even a penny of it as hard work compensation. Instead, I distributed the 1.2 million yuan to all residents."

"I have hired a lawyer to sue the 28 media outlets that slandered me. See you in court within a week at the latest!"

Reporter Huang Jieyi: "Mr. Guan, you said that the media slandered you and that you distributed all the 1.2 million to the residents. Do you have any evidence to prove it?"

Guan Zu smiled and said, "Of course I do! I have complete bank transfer records, as well as the signatures and fingerprints of each household. These will be published in tomorrow's Five Star Daily. The originals will be sent to the court and will become complete evidence for suing the 28 media outlets."

Guan Zu spoke with great force and it definitely didn't seem like he was lying.

Then, reporter Huang Jieyi asked: "Mr. Guan, I heard that you were banned from the news this time. Is that true?"

In front of the camera, Guan Zu was indignant: "It's true. When I saw the news, I immediately tried to find the media to clarify the matter. However, all the major newspapers were unwilling to publish my interview, and TVB rejected my request for clarification with an almost shameless reason. ATV also rejected it... I realized that I was banned."

"Fortunately, Mr. Lin, the boss of ATV, is a reasonable man. After learning about my situation, he agreed to interview me, clarify the facts, and dismissed the news director who refused my interview. I would like to thank Mr. Lin for his righteousness!"

Reporter Huang Jieyi asked at the right time: "Mr. Guan, who do you think is most likely to slander you on such a large scale and ban you from the news?"

Guan Zu had a heavy face. "I don't have any solid evidence to prove who it is, but the person who can link up so many media newspapers and two major TV stations to ban me is definitely not an ordinary person. He must be someone with great power. And I, Guan Zu, have always been kind to others. If I offended anyone, the only one I offended was the Li family."

"Of course, I first declare that the Li family is not necessarily the mastermind. Secondly, I declare that everything I said is just my logical speculation. There is no real evidence to prove that it was the Li family who did it."
