If you want to be a good person, find Huadi
Chapter 131 Police Party 1
Liu Yi's time in the hospital was quite pleasant. He practiced Xingyiquan every day, then reviewed his lessons. In his spare time, he would chat on the phone with JOJO. Thankfully, international calls nowadays have very simple caller ID processing, so JOJO never realized that Huadi was calling from the hospital. Otherwise, JOJO would not have just called, but would have flown back to Hong Kong without hesitation to be by Huadi's side.
However, Liu Yi's leisurely life came to an end that day when Guo Zhenting arrived at the hospital with a pair of custom-made aristocratic garments. When Liu Yi saw that he had to try on the clothes, especially when someone was recording the data so they could adjust the size, he immediately shouted at Guo Zhenting in a grief-stricken tone, "Oh my God, Brother Ting, how could you do this! I'm a patient, and you're torturing me like this?" Hearing this, Guo Zhenting quickly retorted, "You? A patient? Have you ever seen a patient who could kill a tiger?" He couldn't help but laugh. Seeing this, Liu Yi continued to act pitiful, pretending to breathe rapidly as he said, "I can't take it anymore! I'm having trouble breathing. I'm going to faint... I'm really going to faint..." He also covered his chest with his hands, as if he might collapse at any moment.
Perhaps it was Huadi's superb acting skills, or perhaps it was because the scene of Huadi's sudden fainting last time left such a deep impression on Guo Zhenting, but at this moment, Guo Zhenting was completely panicked. While shouting for a doctor, he rushed to Huadi's side in a panic, constantly encouraging him to hold on.
When Liu Yi saw the situation, he thought to himself that something was wrong and quickly stood up to apologize to Guo Zhenting: "Brother Ting, I'm so sorry! I just think trying on clothes is too boring and I want to have some fun. Please don't take it to heart!" However, Guo Zhenting ignored him, but waved his hand to signal the doctor to leave the room, and then sat on the sofa without saying a word, his face frighteningly gloomy.
Liu Yi knew that he had gotten into big trouble this time, because he realized that Guo Zhenting was really angry. So, he hurried to Guo Zhenting's side, stood properly, and then kept bowing to Guo Zhenting, muttering words full of apology. Faced with such a sincere attitude of admitting his mistakes, Guo Zhenting laughed helplessly, and at the same time felt a little amused. Finally, he had to wave his hand, let Liu Yi sit down, and said to him earnestly: "Huadi, many jokes can be made, but jokes like this that involve your life and property are absolutely not allowed. You should be aware of your current identity and status, and understand that if something happens to you, it will bring huge trouble to many people. So, you must be careful in the future and never do something like this again."
Liu Yi now deeply realized his mistake. He knew he was no longer someone who could joke around. If he fell, at least two lives would be in danger, which would cause great panic and anxiety for many others. Therefore, he restrained his playful spirit and began to try on each piece of clothing seriously.
After two long hours, Liu Yi finally finished trying on the last set of clothes. He looked exhausted, and sighed with relief, "Oh, it seems I wasn't born to enjoy wealth and luxury! This whole process of trying on clothes is more tiring than running 20 kilometers." He looked as if all life had been drained out of him, and he was extremely tired of this seemingly simple yet tedious task.
Guo Zhenting, who was standing aside, looked at him and couldn't help but sigh: "Well, this is part of aristocratic life. Their standards have always been like this. If you want to integrate into the upper class, you must adapt to this lifestyle. Otherwise, you may be excluded by others." He knew the ins and outs of it very well, so he gave Liu Yi such a reminder.
Liu Yi originally wanted to retort that he didn't want to integrate into the upper class, but he knew in his heart that according to his plan, he would definitely step into this field in the future. So, he chose to remain silent and swallowed the words in his heart.
At this moment, Guo Zhenting suddenly said, "At 7 o'clock in the evening, please accompany me to a party."
"Do you want to fight?" Liu Yi asked with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
Guo Zhenting rolled his eyes at Liu Yi and said unhappily, "What are you thinking? There aren't many gatherings like the last one, and there aren't many DSBs like the Third Young Master. This one is a gathering hosted by the Hong Kong Police Public Relations Department, specifically to thank the kind-hearted people who donated to the police this year. The attendees are all police officers and philanthropists. Do you think there will be a fight?"
As he spoke, Guo Zhenting slapped Huadi on the head to express his dissatisfaction. Seeing this, Liu Yi laughed and said, "Brother Ting, why are you hitting people? If you hit me silly, be careful that your dad will beat you up!"
Guo Zhenting shook his head helplessly, unable to do anything about Huadi's playful behavior. However, this also made him feel that Huadi was more real now. After all, he was only in his twenties, but he had previously acted as shrewd and calculating as his father.
Time passed quickly, and night fell in the blink of an eye. Liu Yi and Guo Zhenting went to the auditorium of the police headquarters to attend this special gathering.
This gathering was a Western-style cocktail reception. While it lacked some of the extravagance of the so-called aristocratic gathering I had attended last time, it was more solemn. The entire venue was decorated in a simple yet elegant style, with soft lighting creating a warm atmosphere.
"Welcome, Mr. Guo." As Guo Zhenting entered the room, a female police officer came up to greet him warmly, "Hello, Madam Fang." Guo Zhenting smiled and responded, introducing Huadi to her. "Madam Fang, this is Liu Hua, my good friend. He plans to join the police force after graduation. Please take care of him." The female officer said kindly, "Hello, Mr. Liu, I'm Fang Jiehua from the Public Relations Department. It's a pleasure to meet you. We can talk more in the future." Madam Fang then led them to their seats and told them that the Commissioner of Police would hold a brief commendation ceremony shortly, followed by free time. In fact, Guo Zhenting had brought Huadi to this party to help him with his future career in the police force. Upon learning of Huadi's interest in joining the force, Guo Yingnan donated 30 million to the Hong Kong Police Force without hesitation, his largest donation of the year. The thank-you banquet would be attended by all senior police officers. It was a great opportunity for Huadi to expand his network within the police force.
Soon after, the Commissioner of Police (at this point, it wasn't the Police Force) took the stage and read out the names of the kind-hearted individuals who had donated to the police force this year. He then presented them with commemorative medals and certificates. Guo Zhenting also took the stage to accept the award on behalf of the Guo Group.
"Thirty million was exchanged for such a piece of paper and a sign." Liu Yi, who was in the audience, whispered to Guo Zhenting with a painful look on his face.
Guo Zhenting patted Huadi on the shoulder and said soothingly, "Alright, don't feel bad about it. It's just a piece of paper and a sign, but it represents honor and status. And 30 million is nothing. It's worth it if it can help you establish connections with the top brass of the police force. Besides, these donations can be considered as protection money, which will be very helpful to our future business."
It's no secret that Hong Kong people are incredibly efficient. The commendation ceremony for kind-hearted individuals concluded quickly. Just when Liu Yi thought he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, the Police Commissioner took the stage again. He was about to make another commendation, but this time, the recipients weren't going to kind-hearted individuals from all walks of life, but rather to outstanding officers within the police force.
Since the current Eagle government no longer cares about properly governing Hong Kong, the police force's budget is extremely limited. Eagles have cut government spending significantly, and more tax revenue has been siphoned off to Eagle Island. If it weren't for the generosity of some "kind-hearted individuals," many police officers would likely be forced to patrol on bicycles. Since they've already spent a considerable amount of money on this grand banquet, why not combine it with the recognition ceremony for outstanding police officers? This not only saves money but also allows more prominent figures in society to witness this glorious moment.
