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

Chapter 854 "852" 98 World-Class Scandal: Zippergate! Guan Zu Goes to America to Watch the Gossip First Scene!

The following week,
The biggest event on Hong Kong Island is the "resident qualification examination" for the Annamese boat people.

Five-Star Property has been conducting the "Knowledge Cup" exam for over seven years, easily handling a mere 200,000 test takers.

Batch after batch of Annamese boat people took the exam.

Ruan Li was no exception.

Despite his harsh criticism, if given the chance, he would certainly choose the loyal Five Star Group.

3 days later,

The exam is over.

Then came grading the exam papers.

Some Vietnamese people tried to bribe the examiners who graded the papers, but the Five Star Group was experienced in this area and there was no way they could find a loophole.
Soon, the results came out.

Guan Zu obtained the data immediately.

My first reaction was:
"Of the 20 Annamese boat people, 10 took the exam, and only 5300 passed..."

"Only 5%!"

"Heh~~~"

"As expected, the majority of them are troublemakers!"

"A heavy blow was the right thing to do!"

Guan Zu called ATV and gave them some instructions.

"We will follow and report on the entire process of the Annamese boat people who passed the exams, record their visits to the Civil Affairs Bureau to apply for ID cards, record their visits to the Five Star Group to collect their citizen benefits, and then interview them about their feelings..."

"Spread the word!"

Wen Huixin: "No problem, boss!"

That evening, ATV News reported the exam results.

The next day, more than a dozen media outlets, including the Five Star Daily, reported on the story on their front page and published the list of those who passed on subsequent pages.

"After three days of intense and exciting examinations, the results of the highly anticipated 'resident qualification examination' for Vietnamese boat people have finally been released."

"This exam aims to select Vietnamese boat people who truly identify with Hong Kong Island culture and are eager to integrate into local life, providing them with a valuable opportunity to obtain Hong Kong Island identity cards."

"It is reported that as many as 10 Vietnamese boat people took the exam, but only 5300 of them passed, a pass rate of only 5%."

"Although the proportion is not high, these 5300 lucky individuals and their families, totaling about 2 boat people, are about to usher in a major turning point in their lives."

"They will receive the Hong Kong Island identity cards they've always dreamed of..."

……

quickly,

The news quickly spread to various areas inhabited by Vietnamese boat people.

In the Tuen Mun boatmen's camp, a group of boatmen sat together, passing around a newspaper they had somehow acquired.

Everyone was tense and expectant.

Suddenly, one of the middle-aged boatmen's eyes widened, a look of disbelief flashing across his face, followed by a cheer that echoed throughout the camp:

"Hahaha~~~"

"My name is there! My name is there!"

He suddenly stood up, holding the newspaper high in his hand, his hands trembling with excitement.

His companions gathered around him, some looking at him with envy, others with puzzled expressions, and of course, many more with jealousy and anger.

Meanwhile, in the boat dwelling district of Yuen Long, a middle-aged woman clutched a newspaper, tears welling up in her eyes.

"It's a success! Thank God!"

Meanwhile, a tall, middle-aged man spat and said viciously, "Damn it, they can stay? That's really annoying."

His voice resonated with several other boat people around him who had also failed the exam, and they began to curse loudly, their words filled with resentment towards those who had passed.

"Why should these people be allowed to stay and enjoy benefits?!"

"We've put in a lot of effort here, and just because of an exam, we're going to be kicked out? Is that fair?"

A boatman waved his fist and shouted at the people around him.

His emotions quickly ignited the anger of those who had failed the exam, and pushing and arguing broke out in the crowd.

"They were bribed by the Five Star Group to deliberately get good grades so they could steal our opportunities!"

The once relatively peaceful boat dwelling area was instantly thrown into chaos.

In the chaotic crowd, two young boat people had somehow gotten into a fight.

One of them failed the exam and was filled with resentment with nowhere to vent it;

The other person had just learned that they had passed and was immersed in joy when the other person suddenly provoked them, so they naturally refused to back down.

They rolled on the ground, tearing at each other, punching and kicking. People around them dodged, but many others cheered them on, making the conflict escalate.

Soon, more similar conflicts broke out in various parts of the boat dwellers' area, with curses, cries, and fighting sounds intertwined.

the other side,
Ruan Li read the newspaper several times, and finally slammed his fist on the table in anger, shouting, "Sure enough, these heartless Hong Kong people just don't want us to pass!"

The more I thought about it, the angrier I got, and then I started thinking about whether I should cause trouble!
……

In the following days, Vietnamese boat people and their families who had passed the "resident qualification exam" lined up outside the General Department of Civil Affairs building, holding the list of those who passed and their identification documents.

Apply for a Hong Kong Island Permanent Resident Identity Card.

ATV naturally reported on this scene, showing the boat people bursting into tears of joy after receiving their documents.

After obtaining their ID cards, they went to the Five Star Group's general service window to purchase basic shares of Central Plaza, Five Star Bank, and China Harbour Group, based on their documents. If they didn't have the money, Five Star Group would provide a low-interest loan, as was the usual practice.

Undoubtedly, upon receiving these benefits reserved for Hong Kong residents, they were moved to tears once again.

Guan Zu's approval rating +1 +1 +1 +1...

Meanwhile, ATV (Asia Television) followed up with a report.

Subsequently, after a period of time, eligible children will become students of Five Star Primary School and Middle School through the Five Star Education Group's channels.

After receiving these benefits, these boat people became completely devoted to the Five Star Group.

I reckon if Guan Yu said, "It's getting cold," they'd all yell, "Mr. Guan, who are you going to kill?"

Brother Zu is like the sun; we can never repay his kindness!
……

……

Kai Tak Airport. Kwan Cho is preparing to board a plane to the United States.

He's going to eat melon seeds.

Zipper door.

Haha~~~~
In fact, Guan Zu had been waiting for this news since January, but he never received it.

It's probably the butterfly effect.

Then, it wasn't until February 25th, after the Annamese boat people incident, that the news came out.

How did the news about the zipper gate leak come about?

It stemmed from the leak of a recording of a phone call between the female protagonist and her friend Linda Tripp.

After the female protagonist was transferred to work at the Department of Defense, she met Tripp (a colleague, and Tripp was her senior). The two became best friends, and the female protagonist talked about her relationship with the president on several occasions during phone calls with Tripp.

Guan Zu just wants to say one thing: Brothers... Sisters, do you dare to trust your best friend?
Only equal best friends are true best friends.

You've somehow managed to get the president's attention? I can't stand for that!

then,

Trip recorded the conversation.

Then, on February 25, Tripp handed the recording over to the prosecutor's office, causing an uproar in American society and officially kicking off the "Lewinsky scandal."

(P.S.: I suspect it was orchestrated by Republicans, otherwise how could a woman offend a president?)
When the whole country was in uproar, and the world was in uproar
The president immediately held a press conference and categorically denied the incident!

Just kidding. As the president, I am upright and incorruptible, shouldering the heavy responsibility of the American people's livelihood. How could I possibly do something like this in my office?
As for the First Lady, what is she doing?
Of course I'll forgive him! I support my husband's claim that he absolutely did not cheat and that it's a lie!

The whole of America and the world are watching this drama unfold.

……

"Whoosh~~~~~"

The plane arrived over New York.

Wearing a Superman-themed version of Guan Zu, along with Abu, Xu Xi, Xiahou Wu, Ding Hu, and others also dressed in Superman-themed glasses, they arrived in the United States.

on the plane.

Guan Zu, exuding righteousness, said, "Gentlemen, this time we are here to expand our business in the United States, for the benefit of the group..."

A long and eloquent piece, full of passion and fervor!
Xiahou Wu believed it to be true.

Abu, Xu Xi, and Ding Hu rolled their eyes: "Brother Zu, you're just bragging. You clearly just wanted to watch the drama unfold!"

quickly,

Guan Zu and his group went to a restaurant near the headquarters of Xingfu Property Management and secretly met with Jimmy (Superman Glasses version) and Wang Jianjun to learn about the current progress of the property management company.

Jimmy reported, "Because this time we helped the Democrats defeat the Republicans and win the mayoralty of New York City, and others have tried to imitate us but always failed, a lot of capital wants to invest in our Happy Property."

Guan Zu: "They're all from the Democratic Party, right?"

Jimmy: "Yes, the Republicans also tried to get involved, but I pushed them to the Democratic side. Of course, I also survived a few assassination attempts, but Jianjun and the others helped me out."

Only by experiencing it firsthand can one know the dangers involved.

Guan Zu: "Do you still have the amulet I gave you?"

Jimmy: "During one assassination attempt, it broke down..."

"Thank you for your hard work..."

Guan Zu took out two amulets, giving one to Jimmy and the other to Wang Jianjun.

Guan Zu: "Tell me about the shareholding structure..."

Jimmy: "Currently, Happiness Property Management Company has 23 shareholders, and I only have 18% of the shares left. However, I still make most of the decisions, and they have contributed a lot of money."

Guan Zu nodded: "Okay, let's continue. Let's tie our interests together; the shares aren't the key point..."

In reality, the so-called "Happy Property Management" is just an empty shell.

The core is still Guan Zu.

If Jimmy leaves and rebuilds Happy Property, his support will still shift to Happy Property, rather than remaining with Happiness Property.

Therefore, expanding the coverage and increasing the numerical value of the approval rating is what Jimmy needs to do.

Then they'll pretend they've been sidelined by those American capitalists, sell their shares, and make a dramatic exit.

Enraged, he reopened a new property management company to continue his popularity...

……

The next few days will be all about watching the drama unfold.

For example, on February 28, the president was impeached by the Republican-controlled House of Representatives.

For example, on March 1, the female protagonist gave a media interview, claiming: "When I learned about the secret recording, I felt destroyed, violated and betrayed, and I was terrified. I have never been so afraid in my life, and I wanted to die."

Guan Zu, a bystander, exclaimed: "Ugh...a bunch of drama queens!"

On March 2, whistleblower Tripp said: "I have received countless threats, but I do not regret it. For me, it was worthwhile to do what I considered a patriotic duty."

Guan Zu's scathing comment: "It's all about interests... talking about patriotism is so fake..."

In the following days, the president made frequent public appearances and attended various political events, attempting to project an image of a calm and focused president.

However, neither the American media nor the public cared about economic data; instead, they were concerned about his relationship with the female lead.

When interviewed, the president remained unfazed and responded firmly: "I reiterate that those accusations are baseless and malicious slander against me personally and the presidency. I am now, and always have been, wholeheartedly dedicated to serving the American people and will not be distracted by these false rumors."

Pull up your pants, and you'll exude confidence!
He thought no one could find fault with him.

The First Lady also stood up to support her husband.

She frequently gave media interviews, during which she spoke with deep emotion:
“I have walked hand in hand with him for so many years, and I know his character. This is a carefully planned conspiracy with ulterior political motives behind it.”

Guan Zu's comment: "True feelings? Pfft~~~~"

3 month 8 day,
The Republican Party has unleashed a major move...

A recording—the female protagonist says she has kept a blue dress containing the president's DNA.

A DNA report—proving that it is indeed the president's DNA.

Once the ultimate move is unleashed,
The entire United States and the world were shaken.

Holy crap, this is huge!

Guan Zu, meanwhile, spent his days leisurely in New York, enjoying the "melon feast" while sightseeing.

That's so refreshing!
