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

Chapter 876 American Side Story 2: Guan Zu: I'm so bored, I'm going to stir things up: fanning the flames between the two parties!
"So boring... There's nothing fun to do in New York..."

Guan Zu strolled around, visiting Times Square, Central Park, the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building...

Slurp~~~~
Guan Zu was sipping milk tea inside the Hermès store, while Ruan Mei was trying on clothes, and Ruolan and Shan Ying were keeping watch.

As for whether the sales staff would feel it's impolite to drink milk tea in a Hermès store?
will not!

I would even shamelessly serve milk tea to customers!

Guan Zu yawned. This kind of life...

“It’s so boring!”

"I want to see rivers of blood!"

"No, we need to cause trouble!"

Wang Jianjun, standing nearby, said, "Brother Zu, it's easy to stir things up. There's something we haven't done yet, why don't we do it?"

Guan Zu drooped his eyelids: "What is it?"

Wang Jianjun: "The church..."

He spoke to Guan Zu in a low voice.

Guan Zu's eyes lit up!
It's actually a story about a dignified godfather and an adorable little boy.

A few months ago, as Happiness Property continued to expand and its reputation grew, it gained more and more public support, which led many citizens to seek justice from Happiness Property.

This included many reports.

I reported it to the police, but the NYPD was slow to act.

However, if you report it to Xingfu Property Management, the problem will be resolved much faster. Although you have to pay money, the service is good and the amount of money is not much.

Police station: Yay! I'm so relieved!

Triple win!

Among the numerous reports, one matter stands out as particularly significant, yet Happiness Property Management has yet to take action: the incident involving the church's godfather and the young boy.

In the past six months, we have received more than 30 reports.

As for the Godfather and the little boy incident, there have been records of it since the 30s, and related accusations have been made one after another.

In 2002, the allegations became public, and since then, nearly 1000 people have filed sexual abuse claims in California.

The Archdiocese of Los Angeles attempted to block the plaintiffs and prosecutors from obtaining the personnel files of clergy, arguing that communications between bishops and pastors are protected by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, but its appeal was ultimately rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court.

In 2007, after years of legal disputes and negotiations, Cardinal Roger Mahoney of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles agreed to pay a total of $6.6 million in compensation to 508 victims of abuse, averaging about $130 million per victim.

Subsequently, there were numerous reports every year.

"Crack~~~"

"That's it!"

Guan Zu was greatly encouraged and suddenly became clear-headed.

"Want to go shopping again?" After Ruan Mei came out of the store, Guan Zu glanced at her and said to the saleswoman, "Pack up all the clothes you just tried on and take them with you!"

Five salespeople lined up and bowed: "Yes!"

Ruan Mei: "What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

Guan Zu chuckled excitedly: "I'm not going sightseeing anymore, let's go do something naughty!"

what?
bad thing?

Ding Hu, Xu Xi, Abu, and the others all had their eyes light up.

Bad things are good, bad things should be done!

……

after an hour,

A coffee shop is being cleared out.

Desserts were served, and tea was laid out.

Jimmy and the others arrived wearing glasses.

After eating,

Jimmy began his report.

“We’ve investigated, but this is a sensitive matter, and after all, we’re not really here to benefit America, so there’s not much point in going against the church, which is why I haven’t taken any action…”

Jimmy has been in the underworld for many years, and he's no saint.

Guan Zu is not one of them either.

If it were on Hong Kong Island, they would definitely strike hard.

But in the United States, to provoke a conflict with a church out of thin air? That's just foolish.

"Although no investigation was conducted, a lot of data was collected..."

Then it detailed which churches were involved, how many people reported it, and which specific church fathers were involved.

Guan Zu asked curiously, "Which political party do these churches support?"

Jimmy said, "Republican."

"Because most of the people in the church are white and their views are more conservative, they have always leaned more towards the Republican Party and dislike the Democratic Party very much."

Aside from Black Baptists, which church would support the Democratic Party?

Suddenly Jimmy paused, looking at Guan Zu:

"Brother Zu, do you mean... to shift the blame to the Democratic Party?"

"Yes, that's it."

Guan Zu chuckled and said, "The Democrats are currently under constant attack from the Republicans because of President Croton's Lewinsky scandal, and they're in a real bind... Why not bring this up and let them fight like dogs?"

The mischievous guys around them, always eager for trouble, got excited.

"That works!"

"Brilliant!"

"Wow, Jimmy, how could you be so mean!"

"The Democrats are definitely looking for something to distract them right now, and this is a huge one!"

"The Democrats must be ecstatic!"

Jimmy nodded: "Okay, I'll go back and gather the information."

Guan Zu instructed, "We must not get involved in this matter. Just secretly send the video footage to the Democratic Party."

In short, just watch the show!
Jimmy nodded: "I understand!"

Hehehehe~~~
Hehehe~~~
Hohohohoho~~~~~
The entire coffee shop was filled with the laughter of evil villains... oops, I mean, righteous ones!
Even Xu Xi, who had always been expressionless, started to put on a stern face.

√！
At a table in the distance, three women, Ruan Mei, Ruolan, and Shan Ying, were enjoying desserts.

"What are they doing?"

"How evil!"

"He must be thinking of something bad!"

"Men, ah~~~"

……

……

the other side,
Rudy was in a hurry and arrived at Britt's law firm.

He is late.

Today's onboarding meeting for new lawyers was chaired by Leo, a partner at the law firm. Leo is an extremely authoritative person and was very unhappy with Rudy's lateness, so he gave Rudy a rude awakening.

Do you believe that everyone is equal before the law?

"No, I don't think so?"

Who hasn't been treated equally?

“Victims of domestic violence.” Rudy thought of his mother, a woman who was subjected to domestic violence by that awful Hank and forced to submit.

“Prove to me why victims of domestic violence are not treated equally,” Leo said coldly to Rudy, intending to teach this man who dared to defy his authority a lesson.

Rudy's girlfriend, Sarah, gave him a look, signaling him not to talk back to Leo.

Leo sneered: "What? Falling silent?"

"You must understand, we lawyers will never remain silent, because silence means defeat... Our law firm will never surrender, and we have no need for useless people!"

Rudy finally spoke, recounting case after case in detail.

They also provided detailed statistics on such cases.

To get into a top law firm, he must have exceptional memory, eloquence, and intelligence.

Leo scoffed: "You've listed a whole bunch of data... but never try to annoy the jury with data."

Rudy countered, "When the data is in your favor, use it to overwhelm the jury."

Leo was furious: "Fuck you, who told you that?"

The entire audience was on tenterhooks.

They, including his girlfriend, looked at Rudy: This guy's dead meat.

Rudy: "You taught me... what you said during your speech at Ashley Cooper three years ago."

Leo: "…………"

Audience: "…………"

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became strange.

Leo forced a smile and said, "Really?... Then that statement must be true, hahaha~~~"

The whole audience laughed awkwardly.

Clearly... Rudy won the debate; he beat his boss, Leo, a partner at his law firm.

but---

Leo got angry.

Then, less than 10 minutes later, Rudy was informed—you're fired!
A high-paying job worth $17 was gone.

When his girlfriend Sarah found out, she was a little...emmm: "My dad said that a person's greatest strength is also their greatest weakness, and you are that right now..."

Rudy: "What is my greatest strength?"

Sarah: "You never run away from the fight."

Rudy: "So, what's my biggest weakness?"

Sarah: "You never run away from the fight."

Rudy thought Sarah was right.

……

Over the next few days,

Rudy looked for work everywhere, but his reputation had already spread, and no law firm was willing to hire him.

At that moment, he felt an overwhelming sense of malice.

Keep in mind, he had $30 in student loans.

The loan was officially collected after he graduated... Well, if you think it's a good thing that they don't collect while he's in school? No, interest is still charged while he's in school, and he's not allowed to pay it back until after graduation.

The huge loan plus interest left him, who was originally full of confidence, in a state of utter distress.

"Am I supposed to go back to the bar and be a bartender?"

This night,
Rudy drove home with a gloomy face.

The car stops at the door.

get off.

"Hi~~~ Rudy..." Guan Zu greeted from the next courtyard.

At that moment, he was having a barbecue with Abu and the others.

“Mr. Guan…” Rudy said respectfully.

Last time, it was thanks to Guan Zu's bodyguard who stepped in and beat Hank to the ground. After giving him a warning, Hank hasn't returned for the past few days. He finally avoided having his house taken over by a savage man.

Therefore, Rudy was very grateful to Guan Zu.

"What's wrong? You don't seem to be in a good mood," Guan Zu said with a smile.

“I can’t find a job,” Rudy sighed.

Whether out of gratitude or trust, he recounted his ordeal in detail.

Guan Zu: "You've contacted all the law firms?"

Rudy: "Yes."

Guan Zu smiled and asked, "Have you considered even more low-class places?"

Rudy: "???"

Guan Zu: "Do you know about 'rainmakers'?"

Rudy: "Of course I know..."

"Rainmaker" is a term used in the legal profession to refer to star lawyers who bring cases to law firms. They are like rainmakers, creating commercial value through their connections and eloquence.

Guan Zu: "So in your eyes, what should a rainmaker be?"

Rudy thought for a moment and said, "I think the rainmaker should be a lawyer who brings rain to the vulnerable."

Snap snap snap~~~~
Guan Zu applauded.

Abu, Xu Xi, and others also applauded.

"well said!"

"aweason!"

"Young man, not bad, I have high hopes for you!"

Being praised like that, Rudy subconsciously scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

Guan Zu: "Do you know about Happiness Property Management?"

Rudy quickly replied, "Of course I know!"

Happy Property is renowned at all levels in New York.

The wealthy class was astonished by the mobilization capabilities of Happy Property.

The middle class and ordinary people have received assistance from Happiness Property and have a good reputation.

Guan Zu: "The owner of Xingfu Property Management is my friend..."

He took out a business card and handed it to Rudy.

"Your statement just now proves that you are a very righteous lawyer!"

"And Happiness Property Management needs talent like you!"
