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

Chapter 789 "788" The whole of Hong Kong whips the corpse of the immigrants who are obsessed with foreigners!

A new day,
The morning sunlight, carrying a touch of tranquility, gently spills over Causeway Bay.

Guan Zu, supporting himself against the wall, walked out of the building.

Three paddy fields, tilled in rotation, even an old ox can't keep up.

As soon as I came down, I saw Xu Zhengyang standing by the roadside, eating bread and drinking milk tea, waiting for Guan Zu. It was his shift today.

Their eyes met.

"Yo~~~~"

Guan Zu had only shouted halfway when Xu Zhengyang suddenly appeared in front of him.

The bread was shoved directly into Guan Zu's mouth.

Because Guan Zu overworked himself last night, he was careless and failed to dodge.

Guan Zu: "Mmm~~~~~"

Interrupt spellcasting.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey~~~~"

"Kukukuku~~~~" Ah Xing covered his mouth and chuckled to himself. It was rare for Brother Zu to be so embarrassed.

Guan Zu's gaze swept over.

Ah Xing immediately became serious: "Brother Zu, there's something I want to tell you... Ah Min is pregnant."

"what?"

Guan Zu leaned back tactically, his eyes wide, and pointed at Ah Xing: "You beast! Ah Min is only a junior in college, still in school! How could you get her pregnant?"

Ah Xing scratched his head and chuckled, "I just didn't mean to, I didn't have time to buy it that day..."

Guan Zu, speechless, kicked him: "You're getting cocky."

Ah Xing clutched his thigh and quickly said, "I came to ask Brother Zu for a peace charm."

There are 10 amulets. The one I gave to Wong Ka Kui is broken, and the one I gave to Lao Xu (a social worker who takes care of mental patients) is also broken.

There are 8 left.

Guan Zu basically gives gifts to every pregnant woman, and then takes them back after she's finished using them.

Guan Zu took out his wallet, pulled out a lucky charm, and handed it to Ah Xing: "Give this to Ah Min. Keep it with you at all times, understand?"

Ah Xing nodded repeatedly: "I know."

Then I happily went upstairs.

Xu Zhengyang watched Ah Xing's retreating figure as she went upstairs, and couldn't help but feel envious.

I want to get married too!

Then she glanced at Guan Zu and said resentfully, "It's all your fault, Brother Zu! You've ruined my chances of finding a wife!"

Guan Zu laughed in exasperation: "You're a straight man yourself, yet you blame others?!"

at this time,

Ding Hu walked by, looking dashing, carrying a breakfast box.

Xu Zhengyang: "…………"

Alright, alright, you just wait!

Ignoring Xu Zhengyang, Guan Zu went to the newsstand: "Uncle Chen, what news is in today's newspaper?"

Uncle Chen: "Auntie, there's nothing special in the news today."

Guan Zu stood by the newsstand, quickly flipped through the newspapers, and fixed his eyes on the South China Daily.

Immigrants launch a fierce protest against Five Star Group's misconduct: Who is behind these "unfair terms" and trampling on their rights?

The report detailed Lao Zhou's ordeal, in which Lao Zhou vehemently accused Five Star Group of being unreasonable and calling their actions a blatant violation of fairness.

The headline also included a photo of Lao Zhou with a furious expression.

His words are quoted below:

"The Five Star Group's actions are extremely domineering. I just wanted to pursue a better life. How is applying for immigration a mistake? How can they take back the dividends they've already paid out? What's the difference between this and robbery!"

Guan Zu scoffed after reading it.

Idiot!
"Let's go to the company..."

Ah Xing had already come down by then, and he kept chuckling.

……

Although the sales of the South China Daily have plummeted, today's news is so eye-catching that many citizens are buying the newspaper today.

On the bus, a group of citizens had already started discussing it.

"That bastard Zhou, he wants to immigrate but is still clinging to his five-star dividends?"

"It's clearly stated in the contract. How dare you make a fuss after breaching the contract?"

"You don't recognize Hong Kong's status but still want to take advantage of its benefits? Your whole family are idiots!"

"If you want to immigrate, then get out of here! You're trying to get something for nothing? Are you out of your mind!"

"I support Five Star taking back its shares; people like that don't deserve to enjoy such privileges!"

"If you want to leave, then get out of here. You want to cause trouble on Hong Kong Island? You think Hong Kong Island isn't chaotic enough already?"

The citizens did not perceive the clause in the contract, which stated that immigrants would have their shares cancelled and dividends reclaimed, as an unfair or unfair contract term.

This is clearly protecting our own interests, so how can it be considered an unfair contract term?
Support Five Star Group!

Get out of here, you idiot!
……

ATV's side,

News Department
“Pa bang bang~~~”

Wen Huixin, who was promoted to news director, clapped her hands to gather all the staff: "Everyone, please pay attention. This morning's news in the South China Daily actually had an immigrant criticizing our Five Star Group's unfair terms regarding share distribution. Our news department naturally has to refute such people."

"In addition, we sent reporters, some to gather opinions from local residents and others to interview their neighbors."

Deputy Director: "Sister Xin, should we send someone to interview that couple?!"

He was originally the director, but after Wen Huixin was elected as a legislator, the two switched positions.

emmm~~~~
I want to flatter him too.

Unfortunately, Guan Zu didn't 'know' him at all, unlike Wen Hui, who was much more familiar with him, and Wen Hui's emotional intelligence and IQ were both higher than his.

Wen Huixin shook her head: "No need, they won't tell the truth if we interview them. Let TVB handle it."

TVB has not publicly supported Kwan Cho.

……

TVB's side.

Reporter Ke Peilin (Guan Zhilin) ​​has already taken a photographer to interview Old Zhou.

(Photo: Ke Peilin, from "Headhunter/Goodbye Jianghu")

At Lao Zhou's house.

Old Zhou was very happy to be interviewed by TVB, which shows that his demands have attracted the attention of the media.

TVB and ATV have always been competitors, and the enemy of my enemy is my friend, so he felt that TVB must be here to help him.

Ke Peilin had the photographer take pictures of Lao Zhou's house, which is about 30 square meters and has been divided into two bedrooms and a living room. There are two daughters and a nanny.

Then came the interview.

Ke Peilin: "Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou, what are your jobs? How much do you earn?"

Mr. Zhou: "I am a bus driver, and my wife has a master's degree and is currently a teacher at a private school. My salary is 20,000 yuan, and my wife's salary is 20,000 yuan."

His wife rolled her eyes: "Where would you get 20,000?"

Old Zhou said guiltily, "One month it reached 2."

Kopelin: "…………"

Inability to vomit.

Copelin: "Mr. Zhou, may I ask why you are immigrating to the UK?"

"Because I felt that Hong Kong Island had no future, and only by going to the UK could I live a happy life."

"Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou, do you have any friends in England?"

"No."

Kopelin: "???"

Have you ever been to England?

"No."

Kopelin: "…………"

"Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou, do you speak English?" "Yes, my husband doesn't."

Kopelin gasped inwardly.

You don't know any English?
What are you going to do in England? It would be a miracle if you could even find a job there!
She felt that the couple was truly obsessed.

Kopelin: "Both of you seem to have very stable jobs right now, so why do you want to immigrate?"

Old Zhou replied, "Bus drivers have no status and are often discriminated against, but in Britain it's the complete opposite."

Kopelin was speechless. "You've never been to England, how would you know about your high status? Besides, you don't even speak English, who would hire you as a bus driver?"

Idiot!
Ko Pei-lin asked Mrs. Chow, "Mrs. Chow, you have a stable, high-paying job here in Hong Kong. If you went to England, you might not be able to find a job of this caliber."

Mrs. Zhou: "My English is very good, and I am very confident in my communication skills. I am sure I can find a better job."

Kopelin: "…………"

terrible!

This couple's understanding is simply naive and laughable.

Sure enough, we are not a family, we don’t enter the same family.

Soon, Coppélin began interviewing her eldest daughter: "Do you want to go to England?"

Eldest daughter: "I do."

Kopelin: "Are you worried that it will be difficult to make friends there?"

Eldest daughter: "I'm not worried. As long as I make a good impression on the Queen, I will have many friends."

Kopelin was inwardly wailing.

The daughter is still innocent, but that's not a problem. The problem is that the couple has instilled strange and naive ideas in their daughter.

……

……

Before we knew it, it was noon.

As expected, ATV and TVB began reporting on the news from the South China Daily.

First, ATV News focused on two aspects: street interviews and rebuttals.

"Dear citizens of Hong Kong Island, this morning, the South China Daily published an article about Mr. Zhou, whose shares and dividends were revoked by the Five Star Group after he applied for immigration..."

"Mr. Zhou, a citizen, was very dissatisfied with this and published a notice in the newspaper exposing the domineering behavior of the Five Star Group..."

"Regarding this matter, ATV interviewed residents of Mr. Zhou's neighborhood. Several neighbors told reporters that Mr. Zhou had always wanted to emigrate, looked down on Hong Kong Island, and complained that 'Hong Kong Island is a sea of ​​suffering'..."

"At the same time, we interviewed some citizens, and 99% of them thought: 'This person is eager to immigrate, yet still wants to enjoy the welfare benefits of Hong Kong Island. There's no such thing as a free lunch!' 'The contract is clearly written; he breached it and still has the nerve to complain. It's shameless!'..."

"We also interviewed a lawyer, who emphasized that 'commercial contracts adhere to the spirit of contract; the terms are in black and white, and become effective upon both parties' signatures. Mr. Zhou knowingly breached the contract, and Five Star Group's right to reclaim its rights according to the contract is legally justified…'"

At last,
ATV began refuting Lao Zhou's claims:

"Since the Five Star Group launched its share dividend scheme, it has benefited hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong Island residents, and many families have improved their lives as a result. However, the behavior of people like Lao Zhou, who want to escape Hong Kong Island while also trying to exploit local resources, clearly goes against the original intention of the scheme."

"Immigration is a personal choice, but by choosing to immigrate, one should relinquish the special rights enjoyed based on 'Hong Kong resident status.'"

"Rights and responsibilities are always equal; no benefit can be enjoyed without paying a price..."

After watching the news, all ATV viewers and citizens nodded in agreement.

"That's right, rights and responsibilities are equal!"

"If you don't want to be a Hong Kong Island resident, then give back your dividends!"

……

TVB's side,

There were fewer viewers, but still around 20%.

Moreover, many canteens and tea restaurants have several television sets, one broadcasting ATV and the other TVB.

When TVB broadcast the interview with the couple, I burst out laughing.

"Pfft~~~~~~"

"Hahahaha~~~~"

"She graduated with a master's degree and became a teacher, but instead of doing a good job, she went to the UK? Does she know that teachers in the UK need several certificates? Is being good at English enough? She probably won't even get an interview!"

"That old Zhou is even funnier. He doesn't even speak English, and he's going to drive a bus in England? He can't understand a word the passengers are saying. Is he trying to kill us with laughter? Hahahaha~~~"

"His daughter's words were even funnier. She thinks that making a good impression on the Queen will guarantee her friends? Has she been watching too many cartoons?"

"Neither of the couple has ever been to England, and they don't even have any friends there. How dare they say they'd be happy if they went? They'll probably only realize what a 'sea of ​​suffering' it is once they get there!"

"ATV just broadcast footage of the streets of Britain the day before yesterday, have they even seen it? Are they still dreaming?!"

Many viewers found the couple particularly funny, as they successfully made them laugh.

I've never seen such an idiot.

……

……

Kowloon Motor Bus Company.

Major shareholder Lei Zhaoguang was in the executive canteen, watching the news with a strange expression on his face.

He is Lei Juekun's son and the heir to the Lei family business. After Lei Juekun passed away in 1992, he took over the Lei family business.

Currently, the main shareholders of Kowloon Motor Bus are the eldest son of the Kwok family, the second son of the Kwok family, and Lei Zhaoguang. Originally, the Kwok family held more than 30% of the shares and were the major shareholders. However, now that the brothers have split up and the shares have been divided, and the brothers are not on good terms, Lei Zhaoguang has continued to serve as the chairman of the company.

Today's two news stories, which have caused quite a stir, naturally caught Lei Zhaoguang's attention.

He said to his secretary, "Go check if this 'Old Zhou' bus driver is from our company."

The secretary was prepared: "Boss, I already had someone check this this morning."

The secretary made a phone call, and soon after, someone reported: "This Mr. Zhou is indeed from our company."

Boss Lei's face immediately darkened.

It turned out to be an employee of my own company.

Fortunately, this wasn't reported in the news, otherwise Kowloon Motor Bus would have been completely disgraced.

"Since he says bus drivers have a low social status, and since he wants to immigrate, then let's grant his wish. Have HR call him and tell him not to come to work anymore."

Secretary: "Yes!"

Mr. Lei: "In addition, we should hold a press conference. Kowloon Motor Bus has not advertised for a long time."

Secretary: "Yes!"

quickly,

Old Zhou received a call from the company's human resources department, asking him to go and process his resignation.

Old Zhou immediately panicked and rushed to the company, asking the HR departure specialist, "Why are you firing me?"

The resignation specialist scoffed, "Didn't you say bus drivers have low status? What are you doing staying if you don't resign? Are you going to be discriminated against? Besides, this is the boss's order; you have to resign whether you like it or not."

The boss spoke?

There's no turning back now.

Old Zhou retorted firmly, "Fine, let's get a divorce, but you have to give me compensation!"

"compensate?"

The resignation specialist looked at him coldly: "Your actions have seriously damaged the company's image. If you don't resign, we will file a lawsuit in court and demand that you compensate us for the damage to the company's reputation. It won't be something that can be resolved in just a few tens of thousands."

Old Zhou: "…………"

They could only leave disappointed.

2 hours later,

A press conference was held at the Kowloon Motor Bus Company building, inviting dozens of media outlets.

Mr. Lei himself took the stage:

"Dear friends in the media,"

“An incident that happened these past few days has deeply saddened us. One of our bus drivers openly claimed that ‘bus drivers have a low status and are often discriminated against,’ and even used this as a reason for his strong desire to immigrate. Such remarks not only disrespect his own profession, but also smear thousands of bus drivers in Hong Kong and have had a detrimental impact on the corporate image that Kowloon Motor Bus has built up over decades.”

“We have terminated their employment contracts in accordance with the law and made it clear to all sectors of Hong Kong Island that there is no distinction between high and low professions, and every job that contributes to the livelihood of Hong Kong Island deserves respect. Bus drivers shuttle through the streets and alleys every day, carrying the safety and expectations of countless families, and their labor value should not be trampled on in this way.”

"In the future, Kowloon Motor Bus will continue to uphold its original mission..."

After his speech, Mr. Lei bowed slightly, and enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience.

Mr. Lei feels like he's definitely going to be on the front page tomorrow!

What a win!
Thanks to the idiot for the assist!

P.S.: Looking for suitable female characters to be Xu Zhengyang's wife. They must have a history of being paired with another actress.
