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

Chapter 844 "842" Daily Life: Still Fang Zhanbo~
P.S.: Many readers felt the lengthy love story between Fang Zhanbo and Long Jiwen was excessive.

------------

11 month 20 day,
Soros and other speculative investors have left Hong Kong Island a week ago.

The financial markets on Hong Kong Island, from the stock exchange to ordinary streets, exude a calm after the storm.

This week, the Hang Seng Index fluctuated slightly around 15500 points. It was originally poised to rise, but Guan Zu sold off some of his positions, causing the index to continue fluctuating around this level.

Inside the stock exchange, the red-vested volunteers slowed their pace, no longer rushing around frantically as they had a few days ago.

The tea restaurants in the streets and alleys have returned to their usual bustling atmosphere.

In the evening, the number of couples strolling along Victoria Harbour increased.

White-collar workers in suits are no longer discussing the panic over the stock market crash at work, but rather where to go on a weekend outing.

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority building remains solemn and dignified, but the reporters at the entrance are no longer there.

Hong Kong Island at this time is still the same bustling, vibrant place.

……

Causeway Bay
Guan Zu and his friends sat inside the rice noodle roll shop, enjoying the busier atmosphere than usual.

"Look, isn't it nice to have this peace and quiet?"

"As expected, Soros and his gang are the evil villains."

Guan Zudao.

Fang Zhanbo swallowed the rice noodle roll and replied to Guan Zu, "Ah, right, right, right~~~"

You didn't hold back against countries like Thailand, the Philippines, and Indonesia.

Guan Zu: You don't know anything. They're weak, that's why we're strong.

"By the way, Brother Zu, Soros is coming to Hong Kong Island for the IMF + World Bank annual meeting in December. Have you figured out how to deal with him?" Abu finished his fifth plate of rice noodle rolls, asked the owner for three more, and then asked Guan Zudao.

Kwan rolled his eyes: "Are you crazy or am I crazy? At that time, the whole world's media was watching here. How could we let Hong Kong Island be in trouble?"

The IMF + World Bank Annual Meetings in December will be held on Hong Kong Island.

This is the first world-class conference since Hong Kong Island returned to Southeast University. It is very important for both Hong Kong Island and Southeast University, and we absolutely cannot afford any mishaps.

However, Guan Zu remembered that the event was held in September or October in the previous life, but this time it was moved to December, which should be the butterfly effect.

For Southeast University, holding this conference on Hong Kong Island is undoubtedly a confirmation of Hong Kong Island's status as a world financial center after its return to Southeast University.

It has very important significance.

However, the "IMF + World Bank" is not a charitable organization, nor is it an endorsement of the University of Tokyo.

Before the IMF and World Bank annual meeting was decided to be held in Hong Kong, Soros had already begun to take action, and they naturally noticed this as well.

Their choice of Hong Kong Island as the meeting location is likely driven by ulterior motives. They may be trying to leverage their influence and voice to interfere in Hong Kong's financial management policies, demanding further opening of the financial market and lowering of regulatory thresholds, thus creating conditions for a larger-scale attack by international speculators.

At this moment,
Fang Zhanbo's phone rang.

"Hello...okay..."

After briefly explaining, he glanced warily at Guan Zu, that scoundrel.

Guan Zu pretended to eat something and didn't see it.

noon,

Fang Zhanbo left the company and drove away.

Not long after, Ah Xing followed in a red taxi.

Don't be wronged, this wasn't Zu Ge's doing, it was the Fang family, and as their son-in-law, A Xing naturally has to shoulder the heavy responsibility of these two capitals!
As a result, Fang Zhanbo went to the vegetable market and became an ordinary citizen, causing Ah Xing to lose track of him.

……

……

at this time,

new York,

The top floor of the Soros Fund Management building.

Afternoon sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, falling on Soros's teak desk.

On the teakwood table, an itinerary—

"December 6, Hong Kong, World Bank/International Monetary Fund Annual Meetings"

"boss."

Secretary Anna's voice carried a hint of hesitation.

She held up a coffee cup and presented it to Soros.

"Are you... sure you want to go to Hong Kong Island?"

Soros looked up: "What?"

Anna took a deep breath and placed her coffee on the corner of the table: "Forgive my bluntness, but now is probably not a good time to go to Hong Kong. Asian media are calling you the 'source of the financial tsunami' and the 'economic criminal of the Asian crisis'..."

"If you go there, I'm afraid there will be security issues..."

Soros laughed and said, "You're wrong. This conference has big names from the global economic field in attendance... The image of a country is always more important than my personal image."

and,

This trip to Hong Kong was less about attending a conference and more about a public "defense."

He is going to speak on stage.

He had already prepared his lines, how he would defend himself.

……

……

The weather in Hong Kong in November is just right.

The sun wasn't too strong, and the wind carried a hint of sea coolness, making it refreshing and not cold on the skin.

At the entrance of Ocean Park,

The crowds were bustling.

Fang Zhanbo, like an underground party member, took a taxi and sneaked to Ocean Park on Hong Kong Island.

"Zhanbo, over here!"

Then I saw Long Jiwen standing next to the ticket booth, waving her hand, her white dress swaying gently in the wind.

"Have you been waiting long? Sorry I'm late."

Zhanbo ran over quickly, looking apologetic.

"No hurry, no hurry."

Clearly, Long Jiwen didn't mind the matter. He brushed his wind-blown hair aside and looked at Fang Zhanbo with sparkling eyes.

Fang Zhanbo's heart couldn't help but race.

He glanced at the road behind him, saw no one following him, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"go!"

The two bought tickets and went inside.

They went to the Ocean Theatre first.

The trainer directed the dolphins to jump through hoops, eliciting cheers from the audience. Long Jiwen watched intently when Fang Zhanbo nudged his arm. He handed him an open bag of popcorn.

She picked one up and put it in her mouth; it was sweet.

Then they went on the roller coaster. When they reached the thrilling part, Long Jiwen instinctively grabbed Fang Zhanbo's arm. His muscles tensed, but he didn't move, letting her hold on.

"Ahhhh~~~"

Long Jiwen shouted happily.

Soon, they returned to the finish line.

"Haven't you ever been here before?"

"Very few... no one plays with me."

Fang Zhanbo suddenly said, "If you ever want to come out again, just let me know."

She turned to look at him, but he looked away guiltily, gazing out the window.

"it is good!"

Long Jiwen chuckled.

After getting off the roller coaster, Long Jiwen's face was still flushed with excitement, and because he was a little sweaty, his hair was sticking to his forehead.

Fang Zhanbo pulled a tissue out of his pocket and handed it to her. His finger accidentally brushed against her cheek, and both of them felt a jolt of electricity. Fang Zhanbo quickly pulled his hand back.

Long Jiwen's eyes lit up as he passed the carousel.

"Want to play?" Fang Zhanbo asked.

She nodded: "Yes!" Fang Zhanbo: "Let's go!"

The colorful lights on the carousel started spinning, and Long Jiwen sat on the white steed, as happy as a child.

Sitting on the unicorn next to him, Fang Zhanbo suddenly felt a little annoyed. Why didn't he bring a camera? If he had a camera, he would definitely have captured her happy moments.

Next, we went to the aquarium, the penguin exhibit... and so on...

Around four or five in the afternoon, they went to the souvenir shop. Long Jiwen bought a pair of dolphin keychains, handed one to him, and held the other in his hand.

Couple style.

However, neither of them said anything, and they remained silent for a minute or two.

The most beautiful moments are those moments of ambiguity.

In the evening, we arrived at the beach.

At this time, evening fell, the sun set in the west, and the sky was filled with red clouds.

But Fang Zhanbo didn't see the beautiful sea and sky scenery; his eyes were only on Long Jiwen's skirt being blown by the wind and her wide smile. He suddenly thought that it wouldn't be bad if he could live like this every day.

Long Jiwen turned around and met his gaze, his laughter abruptly stopping.

The sea breeze, carrying the sound of waves, shut out the surrounding noise, leaving only the sound of their breathing.

The two footprints on the beach were getting closer and closer.

Closer, closer...

suddenly,

With a thud, a ball landed between the two of them.

Both of them were startled and quickly separated.

The atmosphere that had been building up just moments before vanished instantly.

Long Jiwen lowered his head, his face burning red.

Fang Zhanbo coughed and made conversation: "Um... I told you about my family situation, but I didn't know about yours, that's not fair..."

Lung Kei-man began to talk about his family: "My father used to be the chief Chinese detective in Hong Kong Island. In 78, when the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) was established, they started investigating... and then he fled to Taiwan..."

Fang Zhanbo frowned.

Chief Detective Inspector?

Long Jiwen... Dragon?

Lung Shing-pong?!

His expression changed immediately.

There are only a handful of Chief Detectives, and one of them even has the surname Lung!
Suddenly, Long Jiwen felt an urgent need to urinate and looked up at him, saying, "I'm going to the restroom, wait for me..."

Fang Zhanbo nodded without saying anything.

Long Jiwen ran quickly to the restroom not far away, unaware of the strange expression on his face.

After she walked away, Fang Zhanbo turned around and left without saying a word.

Not long after, Long Jiwen returned.

She turned around and looked towards the beach—Fang Zhanbo was no longer there.

"Zhanbo? Zhanbo?"

She called out twice, but no one answered.

My heart skipped a beat, and my eyes darted rapidly across the beach.

She first looked at the sea. It was almost night, and the seawater shimmered with a cold light. Her heart suddenly tightened: Could he have accidentally fallen into the sea?
"Zhanbo! Fang Zhanbo!"

She ran towards the sea while shouting, the seawater reaching her ankles and splashing her skirt, but she didn't care.

She ran along the coastline for a while, but there were only a few tourists on the beach, and Fang Zhanbo was nowhere to be seen.

I searched and searched.
He kept shouting, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Miss, what are you looking for?" A local water vendor couldn't help but ask, seeing her anxious expression.

“I’m looking for a man, wearing a blue jacket, who was just here…” Long Jiwen’s voice trembled.

Then he took out his wallet and pulled out a photo.

"Have you seen this before? Did it go into the sea?"

"Him?" The citizen pointed in the direction of the park exit: "Oh, I think I saw him walking that way just now."

Long Jiwen was taken aback for a moment, then felt a little relieved: Had he gone to buy something? Or gone to get a car? She took out her phone and dialed Fang Zhanbo's number, but couldn't get through.

"Maybe the signal is bad."

She comforted herself.

Long Jiwen went for another walk, but still couldn't find Fang Zhanbo.

In the end, she could only walk to where the two of them had been standing and wait obediently.

The wind gradually cooled, the sun completely set, the sky slowly darkened, and the park's streetlights came on.

The number of tourists on the beach dwindled until she was all alone.

Her wet skirt clung to her legs, and the cold wind made her shiver.

She sat in the chair, hugging her legs, still feeling cold, and her teeth chattered uncontrollably.

After waiting for two or three hours, Fang Zhanbo still did not appear.

Long Jiwen's face grew paler and paler, and she began to feel dizzy. She squatted on the ground, hugging her knees, and tears streamed down her face.

After a while, she felt her vision becoming increasingly blurry, her body growing cold, and she collapsed onto the beach.

In her dazed state, it seemed like someone was calling her.

"Miss? Miss, are you okay?"

Cheng Xiaonan was passing by the beach when she saw Long Jiwen lying on the ground and quickly ran over. She touched Long Jiwen's forehead; it was frighteningly hot.

He quickly pulled out his phone to call someone, while gently patting her face: "Miss, wake up..."

Just then, Xu Zhengyang ran over to pick up Cheng Xiaonan and encountered them. He carried Long Jiwen to the car and quickly took him to the hospital.

Unsurprisingly,
Long Jiwen has caught a cold and has a fever.

……

……

the next day,
Early this morning, ATV and TVB broadcast yesterday's news to the entire Hong Kong television network...

"Yesterday, bird flu reappeared, and a patient was rushed to the hospital..."

"This is the 110th case of avian influenza to date..."

"Also yesterday, the Legislative Council passed the 'Cult of All Live Chickens and Compensation Scheme' ordinance... Starting today, government departments will officially begin the culling operation... Each live chicken will receive HK$50 in compensation..."

Causeway Bay
Around 8 PM,

After eating the breakfast prepared by his aunt, Guan Zu showed his fatherly love to his 3-year-old son and 1-year-old daughter before leaving the house.

As soon as I stepped outside, I ran into Fang Zhanbo.

"Huh? What's wrong? Why do you look so dark and gloomy so early in the morning?" Guan Zu asked curiously, surprised.

"It's nothing." Fang Zhanbo said with a dark face as he quickly went downstairs.

At that moment, Fang Zhanbo's phone rang. He glanced at it and hung up immediately.

Guan Zu rested his chin on his hand.

What's Fang Zhanbo doing? What happened? This guy went on a date yesterday afternoon, and now he's all red-faced this morning. Is he impotent?
That's really quite pitiful.

Guan Zu went downstairs and saw Fang Zhanbo drive away. Ding Hu and A Xing looked at Guan Zu in confusion: "Brother Zu, didn't Zhanbo/Brother go on a date yesterday? How come it seems like they broke up now?"

Guan Zu shrugged: "I don't know~~"

9 o'clock, time to go to work.

12 o'clock, noon, lunch in the canteen.

Guan Zu glanced around the dining hall but didn't see Fang Zhanbo.

Xu Zhengyang, who was standing nearby, mentioned that he had encountered a scumbag on the beach the previous night.

“Last night I went to pick up Xiao Nan from get off work. Xiao Nan saw a woman lying on the beach. Her face was as white as paper, and her skirt was soaking wet. She had obviously been frozen for a long time.”

"Then we took her to the hospital. On the way, the woman was delirious with fever and kept muttering something."

"They took him to the hospital, and the doctor said that if they had waited any longer, he might have developed pneumonia!"
