The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 188
"If you don't go, it's pointless for me to go by myself. I want to stay in Hong Kong to accompany you." Zhao Yazhi said while holding Xu Guanwu's arm tightly.

Xu Guanwu frowned, "Be obedient, it's too dangerous to stay in Hong Kong, go to America for a few days. If you're bored, bring your parents and sisters with you."

"No, I want to be with you because of the danger." Zhao Yazhi leaned on Xu Guanwu and said.

Xu Guanwu was turned into soft fingers by Zhao Yazhi's tenderness, and he sighed helplessly, "Then you should be careful when you go out recently, and the bodyguards are always there to protect you, don't throw him away again."

"I see." Zhao Yazhi nodded.

A few days ago, Xu Guanwu arranged two female bodyguards for Zhao Yazhi out of safety considerations to protect her personally.

But Zhao Yazhi, who had always been used to being alone, was very uncomfortable, and she sneaked away from the bodyguard several times, causing Xu Guanwu to worry a few times.

……

In the morning, Zhao Yazhi got up early again, and under the escort of bodyguards, she went to TVB for filming.

Her "Riding the Wind and the Waves" was broadcast on the TV station last night, but Xu Guanwu was at the scene of firefighting at that time, so he didn't have time to watch it with his wife.

When going to work this morning, passing a newsstand, Xu Guanwu asked someone to buy a copy of "Ming Pao" to see what this neutral newspaper had to say about the TV series.

There are two reasons why I didn’t buy "Dongfang Daily" and didn't take my share of "Daily Daily". Second, "Daily Daily" is its own newspaper, and it must flatter Zhao Yazhi, the proprietress, so the evaluation is not objective.

When Xu Guanwu got the latest issue of "Ming Pao", Xu Guanwu's expression froze. It turned out that the headline was about the arson case of a theater in Kyoto.

"The Brilliant Theater was set on fire again, the gangsters fought fiercely with open flames" The red headline is extremely eye-catching, and there are photos next to it, which is exactly the tragedy of the theater in Kyoto after the fire.

Although Xu Guanwu came to the scene yesterday and had already witnessed the tragedy at that time, but seeing the photos now, he still feels blocked and very uncomfortable.

He settled down and turned directly to the entertainment page. In a tofu-sized section, he found a report about "Riding the Wind and Waves".

"Ming Pao", which always regards fairness and objectivity as its standard, gave a pretty good evaluation of this TV series featuring young girls.

I think this drama has created a new trend of Hong Kong TV dramas, with unconventional themes and inspirational, it is very suitable for young people to watch today.

Although the acting skills of the five heroines still need to be improved, the natural innocence and innocence of this kind of youthful inspirational TV series are better than the filming, which fits well.

Xu Guanwu saw that the reputation of this drama was not bad, so he couldn't help but nodded with a smile, knowing that his wife's hard work these past few days was not wasted.

Back at the company, Liang Shuyi, the manager of Brilliant Cinemas, was already there waiting for him.

"Stanley!" Seeing Xu Guanwu, Liang Shuyi rushed up to meet him, "I already know about the fire in the Kyoto theater."

"Well, have you calculated how much money we will lose this time?" Xu Guanwu sat on the boss's chair and said.

"The area of ​​the fire this time is large, and the first to fifth floors are on fire. The direct loss is 200 million, and the indirect loss is still hard to estimate." Liang Shuyi reported, "The tenants of the third to fifth floor office buildings are very angry now. Big, thought we were the ones who attracted the black X, so they chased us and demanded compensation."

"You want compensation from us? Don't they have insurance?" Xu Guanwu frowned and said.

"The economy is in a downturn, and some companies are not insured. Besides, the business of insurance companies does not include guaranteed operating income." Liang Shuyi explained, "Many companies' contract documents, customer information, and account books have all been burned. , these insurance companies will not cover it.”

"Is that so, then tell them that half a year's rent will be waived. As for other losses, we can't do anything about it." Xu Guanwu thought for a while.

Liang Shuyi nodded, knowing that the company could offer this compensation, which was very moral.After all, in this fire, Xu Guanwu was also a victim.

Moreover, it is simply unrealistic to fully compensate all the losses of those companies. Some companies even burned their account books.

"Also, Serena, please urge the police station to keep an eye on them and handle the case quickly." Xu Guanwu said again.

Liang Shuyi nodded, left the fire damage report list, then got up and walked out.

When Xu Guanwu opened the document, he saw a detailed list of losses: projection equipment for four movie theaters, 200 seats, and tens of thousands of commodities... Summarizing each item, the loss exceeded [-] million Hong Kong dollars. .

Seeing the list of losses listed, Xu Guanwu couldn't help rubbing his temples, feeling his head hurt more and more.

……

"Call your boss out!"

"Protest! The city gate caught fire, and the fish in the pond were affected! We demand compensation!"

"Provoke the black society and cause us to lose everything. We want to protest! We want compensation!"

……

Xu Guanwu was reading the revenue report of "Daily Daily" for the first half of the year, when he suddenly heard someone shouting outside the window, which not only ruined the only good mood he had.

Xu Guanwu frowned, looked down from the window, and saw hundreds of people gathered downstairs in the company, holding signs in their hands, with words such as "The fire at the city gate will harm the fish in the pond", "Compensation for loss of money" and so on.

The company's guards all formed a human wall to stop those people and prevent them from moving forward.The two sides pushed and shoved each other, and frequent physical conflicts broke out.

"Mr. Xu!" Liang Shuyi broke into the office with a pale face, "Those tenants went downstairs to the company to protest."

"I've seen it. Why, are they not satisfied with the compensation?" Xu Guanwu asked.

Liang Shuyi nodded, "They think those people were provoked by the company, so the company must compensate them for their losses. They also said that if the company doesn't agree, then..."

"Do you want to protest downstairs, or go to the court to sue?" Xu Guanwu rubbed his forehead, "Let them make trouble, and call the police station and ask them to send a few police officers to maintain order."

Liang Shuyi was stunned for a moment, "Is there really no need to send someone to appease you?"

"Forget it, what are you appeasing? It's impossible for the company to promise them any conditions." Xu Guanwu spread his hands, "Unless the real culprit can be caught and let him pay compensation. Of course, this requires the efforts of the police."

Liang Shuyi nodded, turned around and walked out.

After a while, the sound of the police car downstairs was heard, followed by the sound of whistling and drinking.

Xu Guanwu looked down and saw more than 20 police officers came to take over the positions of the guards and confronted the demonstrators.

"Mr. Xu, your company is really not peaceful. It was not long before the last demonstration, and now there is another group gathered downstairs." Superintendent Chen Xinjian, who led the team, laughed.

"It's not my fault, it's your police's failure to do things. If you uprooted the Ma brothers, nothing would happen." Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said.

"The police also pay attention to evidence." Chen Xinjian smiled wryly.

"Evidence?! Hong Kong people don't know their details, even you police pretend not to know." Xu Guanwu sneered, "How is the investigation of yesterday's arson case going? When will there be results?"

"Do you want to hear the truth or lies?" Chen Xinjian did not answer immediately, but smiled playfully.

"How can I tell the truth, and how can I tell lies?" Xu Guanwu asked suspiciously.

"The truth is that this case is difficult to solve, and there is a lot of resistance from above. Some people are suppressing the two brothers; the lie is that the police are doing their best to investigate, and there will be clues soon." Chen Xinjian did not hesitate to speak the truth.

"Someone is holding back, who has such great power?" Xu Guanwu couldn't help but stare, "Could it be that there is no law in Hong Kong?"

"Laws are also made by humans." Chen Xinjian sighed.

"The legal person?! Do you mean that the members of the Legislative Council are protecting the Ma brothers?" Xu Guanwu said in a deep voice. He suddenly remembered the "Four Families: Dragon Brothers and Tiger Brothers" he watched in his previous life. Well, the Ma Brothers did have a relationship with a member of the Legislative Council, and relied on that member as their umbrella to smuggle X products recklessly.

Although movies can't fully represent reality, biographical movies like this kind of thing are somewhat believable.

Xu Guanwu remembered the plot of the movie and thought of what Chen Xinjian said, and couldn't help frowning.

Hong Kong's Statutory Bureau was later renamed the Legislative Council. There are only 46 members in total, and the power in their hands is very large.It has the privileges of formulating, deleting and amending laws, supervising government governance, approving government budgets, accepting citizens' complaints, and appointing and dismissing court judges.

Although Xu Guanwu is a billionaire and has donated the title of "JP", the rights he enjoys are still far inferior to those of congressmen.

It's no wonder that the Ma brothers have been standing for so many years, and it turns out that Xu Guanwu has found such a powerful backer, which is beyond the reach of Xu Guanwu.

"I didn't say anything, Mr. Xu, I just want you to think clearly whether it's worth fighting again." Chen Xinjian waved his hands and said seriously, "If you persist like this, is it a battle of will or right and wrong. "

Xu Guanwu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "It's not that I don't want to give in, it's that they won't let me give in at all. What they want is to uproot me and swallow me whole."

Chen Xinjian didn't understand the real reason why Xu Guanwu and the Ma brothers turned against each other. Hearing this, he smiled wryly and nodded, "Mr. Xu, make up your own mind."

Xu Guanwu nodded, "Thank you Chen SIR for your reminder, I think I already have an idea."

Chen Xinjian didn't ask him what his intentions were, but just smiled and turned around and walked out.

Xu Guanwu then called the company's top management together and revealed his plan.

"You want the whole company to take to the streets to protest?" Xu Guanwen asked with wide-eyed eyes.
