Hong Kong Variety Show: The Development Notes of a Boss

Chapter 390: A Mistake at the Premiere

Not long after Lu Yongqiang arrived at the entrance of the cinema, a large group of police officers arrived. Seeing the nearly one hundred police officers appear, Lu Yongqiang's men immediately gathered together and blocked the entire entrance of the cinema. In addition, people kept coming here from a distance.

Lu Yongqiang coughed lightly a few times, then shouted loudly: "What are you doing? What are you doing? Disperse, why are you all gathered here? You all have nothing to do, right?"

Lu Yongqiang spoke, and although his subordinates didn't quite understand, they still followed Lu Yongqiang's instructions and slowly dispersed. However, none of them went far, and they all watched near the entrance of the cinema.

After Lu Yongqiang's men dispersed, the police approached him. The middle-aged man in the lead took out his ID and flashed it in front of Lu Yongqiang. He then said, "I'm Superintendent Mo Wendi of the Organized Crime and Triad Organization. Mr. Lu, we've received a report of triad activity here. I wonder if it would be convenient for us to go in and take a look?"

Mo Wendi's tone of voice sounded very polite, but the expression on his face and the meaning behind his words were not polite at all.

After Mo Wendi finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang first smiled, then pointed to a sign next to him and said, "Sir Mo, you should have seen it. There is no triad activity. It's just that a movie I invested in was released. I held a movie premiere and invited some friends to come and support it. I didn't expect so many people to come.

It was indeed my fault for not thinking things through today. Sir Mo wanted to go in and take a look, which is fine, but if so many people go in, I'm afraid it will scare my friends.

So, Mr. Mo, can you please give me a favor and call a few people, and I will personally take you in to take a look. If Mr. Mo is still worried, then please support me as well."

Before Mo Wendi could speak, Lu Yongqiang finished speaking when a man in plain clothes behind him shouted, "Handsome Qiang, why should I give you face? Don't think that just because you have a few bucks, you have face. We all want to go in today. Do you dare to stop us from going in?"

As soon as the man finished speaking, the smile on Lu Yongqiang's face disappeared immediately, and he looked at the person who spoke with a cold face.

The man looked to be less than 30 years old. Seeing that he was standing right behind Mo Wendi, it meant that his status among the police should be quite high. Lu Yongqiang guessed that his rank should be that of senior inspector.

To be a senior inspector at such a young age, he must either be very capable or have a powerful background. Lu Yongqiang guessed that this person must be the latter. After all, based on what he just said, it can be seen that his ability is probably not very good...

Seeing Lu Yongqiang staring at the man with a bad look, Mo Wendi first turned around and glared at him, then turned back to Lu Yongqiang and said, "Mr. Lu, Awen has always worked in the civilian department and doesn't have much experience in field work. He doesn't know your specific situation. What he said just now was just a casual remark. You must not take it to heart."

Lu Yongqiang withdrew his gaze from that person, then looked at Mo Wendi, and then said in a cold voice: "Sir Mo, even if what you said was not unintentional, do I dare to touch this Sir even a finger?

Just like what this Sir said, I only have a few dirty bucks, and I don’t have any face in front of the Sirs, so how dare I provoke this Sir…”

As he spoke, Lu Yongqiang stepped aside to open the door of the cinema, then gestured with his hand and said, "Sir Mo, aren't you going in to search? Then you can go in now."

Lu Yongqiang made room for him at the door, but Mo Wendi did not bring anyone in. After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, his expression just changed, and he said nothing.

Mo Wendi was weighing the pros and cons in his mind. Judging from what Lu Yongqiang had just explained to him, today's incident might really be a misunderstanding. He had also recently seen news that a movie invested by Lu Yongqiang was about to be released. Also, he had vaguely seen that there seemed to be quite a few reporters in the cinema. Since there were reporters there, it was naturally not a triad activity, but should really be a movie premiere.

If today was really the movie premiere, and he brought people in to search, he would offend Lu Yongqiang regardless of whether he caught anyone in the end.

If Lu Yongqiang was just the leader of Hongxing, then offending him would be fine. But he is a police superintendent and is not afraid of a gangster.

But Lu Yongqiang is worth tens of billions and is considered a wealthy man in Hong Kong, so the situation is different.

It's not that Lu Yongqiang can deal with a high-ranking official of the police just because he has money, but it's not certain if he has both money and power. Although he can't say that he can definitely deal with Mo Wendi, it's still easy to create some trouble for Mo Wendi and affect his future.

Originally, after Lu Yongqiang started to explain, Mo Wendi wanted to take advantage of the situation and back off. He took a few people in to take a look, and today's incident would be over.

However, with the person behind him interrupting, he was now in a difficult situation. If he went in, he would definitely offend Lu Yongqiang, and Lu Yongqiang would definitely cause trouble for him later.

But if he doesn't go in, he will seem cowardly, which will damage the credibility of the police. His superiors will definitely be unhappy, and this will also affect his future.

Before Mo Wendi could weigh the pros and cons, the man behind him jumped out to cause trouble again. He didn't even wait for Mo Wendi's order and wanted to go around Mo Wendi and walk into the cinema.

This man's actions made Mo Wendi immediately furious. When the man walked in front of him, Mo Wendi grabbed the man and pushed him to the side.

"Ah Wen, what do you want to do? Didn't you hear Mr. Lu's explanation? Mr. Lu said that today's movie premiere is being held at the cinema, not some triad event. There are dozens of reporters inside, and you bring people in and rush in, ruining the movie premiere. If any losses are caused, can you bear the responsibility?"

After berating Ah Wen a few times, Mo Wendi turned to Lu Yongqiang and said, "Mr. Lu, although I believe there is no triad activity here today, since we received a report from the police, it is our duty and we can't just let this matter go. So, please take me in to take a look."

Mo Wendi turned and instructed the people behind him, "Ayuan, take a few people with me to go in and take a look. Asheng, take the rest of the people over there and wait. Also, keep an eye on Awen and don't let this kid cause me any more trouble."

As he spoke, Mo Wendi pointed across from the cinema.

The Sir named Ah Sheng immediately took action. He first reached out and grabbed Ah Wen, then with his other hand gestured to the people behind him to follow him. He took everyone away and left with only a few people behind Ah Yuan.

After most people left, Mo Wendi turned to Lu Yongqiang and said with a smile, "Mr. Lu, I'm sorry to bother you again."

Don't hit a smiling person. Although Lu Yongqiang still felt unhappy, seeing Mo Wendi's attitude, he didn't want to offend him too much, otherwise he would really mess up the premiere and end up embarrassed.

Although he was unhappy, Lu Yongqiang didn't say anything. He turned around and led the way into the cinema.

Mo Wendi was also a shrewd person. Knowing that Lu Yongqiang was still unhappy, he hurried a few steps to catch up with Lu Yongqiang, and then said softly: "Mr. Lu, Ah Wen used to work in the Political Department. He was transferred to my subordinates not long after the Political Department was disbanded.

Mr. Lu, you should be a sensible person. I think you know what the previous political department was like. Although Ah Wen is my subordinate, his background is stronger than mine, so I really can't control him. "

Although the Political Department of this section is affiliated with the Police Department, it is almost a unit of the same level as the Police Department. Even that guy couldn't control the people in the Political Department before.

As for the people in the Political Department, they are either foreigners or banana people who are completely loyal to the foreigners, just like Ah Wen. These people think they are superior to others, so it is normal for them to behave arrogantly like that just now.

After hearing Mo Wendi's explanation, Lu Yongqiang was no longer angry and began to explain to Mo Wendi.

Lu Yongqiang smiled bitterly and said, "Today's incident was indeed due to my inconsiderateness. I invested in a movie a few months ago. Originally, not many people knew about it, but I don't know how it got dug out and became known to everyone.

Sir Mo, you should understand that sometimes I have no choice. After more people knew about this, many of my friends on the street came to ask me about it, and said they would help me promote it and book out the entire theater.

Although I come from a gang, I have rarely been involved in underworld affairs in recent years. If I really ask everyone to promote me, it will definitely cause quite a stir.

In order to avoid trouble, I thought of organizing a movie premiere, and everyone came to support me, and I would treat everyone to a movie.

Initially, I was only planning to invite people from Hung Hing, but after word got out, a few uncles from the underworld called me and asked me why I didn't invite them.

Since they have called, I naturally have to invite them. Unexpectedly, this matter will spread more and more widely, and the number of people I invite is increasing.

In the underworld, everyone values face. If you invite this person but not that one, you're likely to offend them. As a businessman now, I believe in making money through harmony, so I naturally don't want to offend anyone, so I simply sent invitations to all my friends in the underworld.

I originally thought that because of my reputation, most people might not come even if invitations were sent out, but I didn't expect everyone to give me so much face, and so many people came today.

Sir Mo, there was such a big commotion today, which has caused a lot of trouble for your police department. We are sorry to trouble so many brothers to make such a trip.

This matter really makes me feel bad. I originally wanted to give my brothers a red envelope or treat everyone to a meal, but I was afraid of causing trouble for them.

Since today's incident started with this movie, let's just end it with this movie. After the movie is over, I will promise in front of all the reporters that 5% of the total box office revenue will be donated to your police department to improve the lives of many police officers.
