Hong Kong Variety Show: From Little Brother to Big Boss

As the Sing Tao Daily reporter finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene instantly fell into deathly silence.

Cai Ziming was about to scold the other party when he suddenly saw the Director of the East Kowloon Police Station, Laneka, quietly appear at the back of the hall and gave him a "quiet" look.

Seeing this, Cai Ziming silently swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth, then glanced at Liu Xu beside him with a slightly complicated expression, and said nothing!

"Oh my, this is a checkmate for him!" Liu Xu looked at the reporter from Sing Tao Daily with a serious expression for a moment, and under the expectant gaze of everyone, he slowly spoke:

"Cross-strait relations are a complex and sensitive topic that requires joint efforts from both sides to promote their peaceful development. But my donation has nothing to do with cross-strait relations."

"My company and I are concerned about the social security of Hong Kong Island and the well-being of Hong Kong Island residents. I hope everyone can focus on these more practical issues."

The reporter from Sing Tao Daily seemed a little unwilling to give up and wanted to continue asking questions, but was interrupted by Cai Ziming: "Time is limited, each reporter please follow the principle of one question, next one, please!"

The press conference continued, and the atmosphere had gradually heated up during the previous answers. When the City Weekly reporter raised his hand, everyone's eyes were focused on him.

"Mr. Liu, we understand that you are already a rising star in the business world. But at the same time, some people also mentioned that you and your company have close ties with certain societies."

"Excuse me, what do you think of such rumors? Will this affect the purity of your donation?" The reporter from City Weekly asked a sensitive and direct question.

Liu Xu's eyes revealed calmness and determination.

"First of all, I want to emphasize that I have always been a law-abiding citizen and my business is also operated legally. I am willing to accept supervision from the general public on this point."

"As for the so-called association connection, if my practice of providing jobs to association members in order to maintain the harmony of Hong Kong society counts, then I can only admit that I do have connections with the association!"

"As for me, in this society, everyone has their own social circle, but this does not mean that they are associated with illegal activities."

"I am just an entrepreneur who loves society and is willing to contribute to it. This donation is entirely out of my admiration for the work of the police force and my concern for social security."

Liu Xu's answer won the approval of most of the reporters present. Judging by the deeds rather than the heart, it was just like the means they used as reporters to bring first-hand reports to the citizens of Hong Kong Island.

However, the reporter from Oriental Daily clearly did not intend to give up. He took the microphone and asked a more pointed question.

"Mr. Liu, we noticed that your company has rapidly expanded from the initial wine industry to various different fields."

"Even the Robinson Shipping Group, which ranks among the top ten in Hong Kong Island, has now been taken over by us. Is there any unknown secret behind this rapidly accumulated wealth?"

"For example, is there an exchange of interests with social organizations? Are there any shameful means involved? Is it related to illegal industries such as money laundering?" The Oriental Daily reporter's tone was full of malice.

Faced with a series of provocative questions from the Oriental Daily reporter, Liu Xu smiled slightly, with wisdom flashing in his eyes.

He glanced at the reporters present, as if conveying determination and confidence with his eyes.

"First of all, I would like to thank the Oriental Daily reporter for his attention to my company and my personal wealth accumulation."

"Regarding the speed of wealth accumulation, I want to say that behind every successful enterprise, there are countless people's hard work and wisdom. I seized the opportunities of the times and achieved what I have today."

"As for whether there are any unknown secrets, I can tell you responsibly that there are none. Every transaction and every decision of my company can withstand the scrutiny of any organization."

"As for the allegations of illegal activities such as exchanging benefits with associations and money laundering, I deeply regret it. As an entrepreneur, I always adhere to the principles of integrity and law-abidingness."

"My company has always been operating with integrity since its inception and has never been involved in any illegal activities. I believe that time will prove whether what I said is true or false."

“In addition, I want to emphasize that the success of a business is not just about the accumulation of wealth, but also about how much we can contribute to society.”

“This donation is a way for us to give back to the community. My company and I hope to contribute to the social security of Hong Kong Island through our own efforts.”

After that, Liu Xu paused, coughed lightly, and continued to maintain a serious tone: "As for this reporter, I think, after the meeting, you will receive a personal lawyer's letter from me!"

Liu Xu's answer not only caused the reporters present to burst into laughter, but also received applause that was no less than his opening remarks.

These words not only dispelled the rumors about Liu Xu's company's wealth accumulation, but also further enhanced his personal image and corporate reputation.

As for whether someone would come to his company to check the accounts afterwards, Liu Xu was not worried at all. This is not the way to slap someone in the face, and this is not the way to do things.

The Kowloon East Police Station will help him take care of everything.

As the press conference was coming to an end, Cai Ziming, on behalf of the police, expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Liu Xu for his donation and promised that the funds would be used where they should be used.

Finally, Liu Xu took photos with Cai Ziming, Mike, Bruce and other police officers, and accepted interviews from multiple media outlets.

His performance won praise from the police and recognition from the media, and also brought the donation activity to a successful conclusion.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Mike took Liu Xu directly to the high-end restaurant of the East Kowloon Police Station to enjoy a sumptuous lunch.

During this time, Mike privately revealed to Liu Xu that the Tsukamoto Group was planning to host a banquet for all senior officials in Hong Kong on August 16.

He also said meaningfully, "The Kwun Tong area is not only chaotic on the surface, but also chaotic on the inside. If he can be consistent on the outside and inside, it will be very beneficial for him to take the position of Eastern District Kowloon Police Headquarters."

On the way back, Liu Xu sat in the spacious back seat of the Mercedes Benz with his eyes slightly closed, thinking carefully about the meaning of the two sentences Mike said when he sent him to the door of the police station.

"Does the Tsukamoto Group's banquet for all the dignitaries in Hong Kong Island on August 16 have anything to do with him?" This was the question in Liu Xu's mind. Could it be that they wanted him to get hold of Tsukamoto Yoshitomo's 100 million revenge fund?

His mind raced. Mike's words, though cryptic, were clearly hinting that he could use the upcoming party as an opportunity for some sort of action.

Liu Xu tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the seat, thinking about how to use this known information to cleverly gain more information and benefits for him.

As for the problem of "the Kwun Tong area being two-faced" mentioned by Mike, Liu Xu knew what Mike wanted to do. The other party wanted him to make Kwun Tong uniform.

Liu Xu didn't think twice about this. Kwun Tong, Kowloon and Tai Po were the survival bases of many small societies in Hong Kong Island. Kowloon had now been swallowed up by Lian Sheng, Dong Xing and Hong Xing.

If he were to swallow up Kwun Tong as well, these people would probably hunt him down to the death.

Moreover, Mike's words clearly meant for him to be a white glove. As a time traveler, the belief that my fate is in my own hands is engraved in my bones. How could I possibly be a dog for others?

Therefore, at most he ordered Feimao to swallow TKO.
