Hong Kong Film: Jimmy? Please call me Councillor Li

Chapter 34 is on the news
"I don't know if you like playing this, but I saw our boss really likes it, so I bought it for you."

Zhang Shun's breathing quickened as he looked at the latest game console and he couldn't take his eyes off it, but he didn't dare to take it for fear that his father would be angry.

Because this is something my brother gave me.

Zhang Shun had experienced Zhang Xiaobin's rebellious period, and was somewhat afraid of this older brother from the bottom of his heart. They had a good relationship when they were young, but not now.

"Okay, stop trying to please this person and that person as soon as you come back. Tell me what you're up to this time. If you're here to ask for money, you can get out now."

Zhang's father interrupted Zhang Xiaobin, and seeing that the situation had once again reached a stalemate, Zhang's mother interrupted the conversation.

"Okay, go wash your hands and have dinner."

Obviously, nothing is more important than eating, so the whole family washed their hands and ate, but the meal was very dull.

The house is very small, so the dining room and living room are shared. A small round table serves as the dining room. Usually, the family likes to watch TV and chat, but today everyone is particularly depressed.

Only Zhang's mother cared about her son and asked about his recent situation.

"You seem to have gained some weight this time. You are still..."

As Zhang's mother spoke, she couldn't bring herself to say the following words. If it were in the past, Zhang Xiaobin would have started making a fuss by now if he had gotten angry.

But now that he has matured, he just smiled, not wanting to worry his family.

"Mom, I'm not hanging out anymore."

Upon hearing this, Zhang's mother became a little excited, but Zhang's father was dismissive. He just looked at Zhang Xiaobin's clothes and thought about the credibility of these words.

Seeing that everyone seemed unconvinced, Zhang Xiaobin took out a work badge from his shirt.

It has his photo, company information and some simple personal information on it.

"Seriously, my company is called Jiayuan Property Management. I came to Mong Kok to handle some work. This is my work ID."

With the work permit as proof, even Zhang's father had to believe it, but he still felt shocked.

How could his son, who had a temper as stubborn as an ox, suddenly figure things out and find a job working in a company?

With his education and status, can he still get a job in a company as a white-collar worker?

Even though he believed it about 70% in his heart, he still refused to let it go.

"Just listen to his boasting. What's he doing here pretending with a fake ID?"

"Okay, just say a few words."

Just then, TVB Jade Channel's evening news began.

[Next is the evening news.]

Recently, a company called Jiayuan Property Management in Yau Ma Tei has been helping local businesses address harassment from unauthorized individuals, earning widespread praise. Below are interviews with local businesses and residents about Jiayuan Property Management.

The news footage turned to a familiar neighborhood street, Bowring Street, and the reporter randomly interviewed an old man.

"Uncle, are you a resident of Bowring Street?"

The old man rolled his eyes and answered in very standard Cantonese.

“I’ve lived here for decades.”

"Uncle, do you know Jiayuan Real Estate? What do you think of this company?"

"Homeland Property? It's a good joke, but you don't know how many thugs and gangsters we had here before, collecting protection money. Ever since Homeland Property came here, our business has been much better."

"I just saw Mr. Li this morning having breakfast here. Mr. Li is such a nice guy. I'm glad to meet you."

As the old man was talking, the conversation suddenly turned into a praise session for Li Jiayuan. He kept the reporter talking for a full minute, and the reporter finally had a chance to get away.

The reporter smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject.

“We’ll go to random next.”

The interviews now weren't the showmanship of the future; they were 100% truthful, and the interviewees were free to say anything. When it came to the reviews of Jiayuan Properties, they were all overwhelmingly positive, with no one failing to praise them, and many were even praising Li Jiayuan personally.

After the interview, all the comments were in praise of Li Jiayuan.

The screen cuts back to the host.

"It seems our Mr. Li is truly popular among the people. We are fortunate to have interviewed the person involved. Let's see how he responds to this question."

The scene switched again, and Li Jiayuan and a reporter were sitting in front of a white background and being interviewed.

"Mr. Li, may I ask under what circumstances did you establish Jiayuan Properties?"

“In fact, my original intention of establishing Jiayuan Property was to do more for our residents, just like...

During the interview, Li Jiayuan faced some tricky questions from the reporter and spoke confidently and eloquently, looking like a successful person.

At the dinner table, Zhang Xiaobin excitedly slammed the table when he saw this scene.

"Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan is on TV!!"

Zhang's mother asked, "Xiaobin, do you know this person?"

"This guy is amazing. The news said he protected local people from being harassed by gangs. He's such a good guy."

Zhang Xiaobin took over the conversation, his face full of pride.

"Of course, that's our boss."

"Your boss!"

Mr. Zhang's hand that was picking up the food suddenly stopped, and he looked at his son's work ID card.

It was clearly written on it in large letters: Home Property. After a moment, he lowered his head and ate without saying a word.

"well"

Wonka Ballroom, Yau Ma Tei
In the dim room, the TV was broadcasting news about Li Jiayuan. Li Jiayuan on TV was handsome, with heroic eyes that were bright and deep.

In front of the TV, Guan Zaisen clenched his hands tightly, his eyes filled with indescribable hatred.

"Jimmy."

After Li Jiayuan came to power, there was one thing that bothered him for a long time, which was how to deal with the former boss Guan Zaisen.

If I deal with him, it will easily lead to gossip. After all, he was my former boss. How could people outside gossip if I took action against the former boss right after taking office?

But if I don't do anything to him, I'll feel depressed.

He has already found out that it was the loser Guan Zaisen who reported him to the CCB.

They were jealous of his money and secretly reported him to the CCB. Why didn't they report more serious crimes, such as organizing the sale of *, trafficking of *, etc.? Of course, it was because they couldn't provide evidence even if they reported these things.

So the only option is to report him for commercial crimes and let the CCB investigate.

In the end, nothing was found.

If this hadn't happened, Li Jiayuan wouldn't have bothered to bother Guan Zaisen, and would have just parted ways amicably. But if he didn't fight back after he did this, it would really be out of his character.

So Li Jiayuan transferred Guan Zaisen to look after the place, a very dangerous place.

It was the front line of the society's internal expansion. Every day, people were either being swept in or sweeping others. If Guan Zaisen went there, something would happen sooner or later.

Look, Guan Zaisen is now in debt and has no energy to gamble. After returning to his old home and turning on the TV, he unexpectedly saw Li Jiayuan appearing on TV again.

I almost died of anger.
