Chapter 326 What is her identity?
After a pause, Chen Baixiang said in an extremely pious tone: "As long as Lin Sheng is in this world, the words loyalty and righteousness will always exist."
Chen Baixiang is a person with rich experience and is talented in singing and acting.
At the beginning, Chen Baixiang and Tan Yonglin participated in a singing competition held by TVB together. As a result, the former ranked higher than the latter and was successfully signed.
However, he did not focus on the entertainment industry. Instead, when his career as a singer and actor was gradually improving, he chose to go into business.
The first business was to open a garment factory. At the beginning, there were only six garment machines.
Two or three years later, Chen Baixiang opened three factories one after another and his net worth exceeded 10 million. He owned five cars alone!
But then, things started to go downhill. Several garment factories went bankrupt, and millions of pieces of clothing were left in warehouses that were unsold.
Amidst such ups and downs, Chen Baixiang didn't know what was wrong with him and actually chose to negotiate business with the Pirates of the Caribbean, trying to sell the unsaleable clothes, which led to the current result.
Tan Yonglin nodded heavily and said, "I know that Mr. Lin's kindness to me is greater than heaven, and I may never be able to repay him in this lifetime."
"I can only try my best to do everything well and not waste Mr. Lin's hard work."
"A Le, this time I introduced you to Mr. Lin, and I also hope that you can work under Mr. Lin. What do you think?"
As he spoke, Tan Yonglin started the car and drove towards Yau Ma Tei.
Chen Baixiang lowered the car window, shook off the cigarette ash, and said, "To be fair, of course I am willing to work under a loyal and righteous boss like Lin Sheng. I understand the principle of leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade..."
"But, when it comes to singing, I can't compare to you. When it comes to acting, with my looks, I can only play supporting roles, but being the lead is just a daydream. I have no competitiveness at all."
Chen Baixiang sighed and said, "Besides, I still owe a lot of foreign debts. Those creditors keep asking me to pay them back, forcing me to sell my ass."
"Tell me, with my conditions, what value can I create for Mr. Lin? Will he be interested in me?"
Tan Yonglin shook his head and said, "Mr. Lin never judges a person's value by your current situation. Our company now has an actor named Wu Mengda, who played Hu Tiehua in the past."
"I heard that he owed millions of dollars in loan sharking debts, and was forced by the Formosa Society to film a love action movie with a mare."
"But what was the final result? Lin Sheng made a phone call, and the call was even made by Lin Sheng's younger brother. The other party released him on the spot. Now Wu Mengda doesn't dare to gamble anymore. He is very serious about his work, and the company often gives him some supporting roles. It can be said that he has turned his life around."
After steering the Cadillac around a corner, Tan Yonglin continued, "Besides, Mr. Lin has so many industries and companies under his control, you don't necessarily have to work in the entertainment industry."
When he got to this point, Tan Yonglin suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "By the way, don't you like playing football? Mr. Lin also likes playing football, and he often organizes the male artists in the company to play a few games when they have nothing to do."
"Also, I heard that Mr. Lin is planning to invest in a football club. You can definitely use your talents in this area to help Mr. Lin solve his problems."
Chen Baixiang just smiled bitterly and said, "Although I like playing football, my level is only amateur. How dare I take on such a job? I'd better concentrate on developing in the entertainment industry."
"Let me think about what I should say when I see Mr. Lin later."
As he spoke, Chen Baixiang closed his eyes and began to simulate the scene of their upcoming meeting in his mind.
Seeing this, Alan Tam stopped talking and concentrated on driving.
At the same time, an annual meeting was being held in the largest conference room in the headquarters building of the Royal Hong Kong Island Police Force.
As the eldest brother, Han Yili naturally sat in the main seat.
Other senior police officers also took their seats according to the size of their positions.
"The new year is about to begin, and I can see from everyone's faces the vision and desire for the future."
"But, to be honest, I am very dissatisfied with the performance of the Royal Hong Kong Island Police Force this year."
"And it's not just me. From the citizens to the Governor in London, everyone has this view."
Although one could not tell much joy or anger from Han Yili's tone, the faces of the senior police officers present were still filled with solemnity.
When your boss gets angry, if you still keep smiling, what’s the difference between that and getting slapped in the face in public?
Han Yili was obviously very satisfied with everyone's performance. He picked up a document at hand and continued, "First, Huang Wenwu killed his colleagues, then he embezzled and defected. He has not been caught until now. Then there was Huang Zhicheng's corrupt police case, which dealt a huge blow to Hong Kong Island's social security and public confidence!"
"This incident even became the trigger for Lin Zehao to sue the Hong Kong Island Government and the Royal Hong Kong Island Police Force."
"Until now, I still receive calls from wealthy people asking me to give a reasonable explanation."
Han Yili stretched out his right hand and slammed the table heavily. His voice suddenly became louder and he said, "They want an explanation from me? How can I explain?"
"Do I, the Commissioner of the Royal Hong Kong Island Police Force, need to explain myself to those wealthy people?"
"But it is because of your mistakes at work that this unreasonable thing happened!"
Everyone present was silent as a mouse, no matter what they were thinking, they could not show it on their faces.
Han Yili looked around and said, "The Secretary for Justice is still dragging his feet on Hutchison Industries' lawsuit and refusing to accept it. Television stations in Hong Kong Island are reporting these things all day long, especially Lin Zehao's ATV, which is broadcasting live 24 hours a day. Public opinion is no longer under our control."
"Some time ago, an operation codenamed 'Catch the Dragon' was launched, requiring you to ensure that all of Lin Zehao's businesses are inspected reasonably and in compliance with regulations under fair, open and impartial circumstances."
"But how did you do it? Up to now, not only have we not found any evidence of Lin Zehao committing crimes, we haven't even caught a single big fish. Several police chiefs have already reported to me that if you catch some more small fish, even the coffee will cost a lot of money!"
At this point, Han Yili let out a long breath, his tone revealing a deep sense of powerlessness, and said: "I just don't understand, with more than 30,000 people in the entire Royal Hong Kong Island Police Force, can't they find a company that has violated the rules?"
"Or is it that Lin Zehao is a legitimate businessman? I dare to say this, do you dare to believe it?"
"The Governor of Hong Kong is going to hold another annual summary meeting soon. Aren't you deliberately trying to embarrass me by behaving like this?"
No one dared to answer this question. Although this matter was indeed not handled well, they actually had no way of expressing their grievances.
Power flows from top to bottom. The person sitting on the throne issues orders based on his own temperament and selfishness, but it is up to the people below to carry them out.
The current situation is that the foreigners who appeared in this conference room are indeed firmly carrying out the order to bring down Hutchison Whampoa, but when it comes to the turn of the people below to carry out the order, that is not the case.
Especially those Chinese police officers, they almost say one thing and do another, completely hypocritical.
The foreigners had hinted very clearly, and they were almost telling the police officers openly that they were trying to frame Lin Zehao's company and just wanted to find a random excuse to bring him down.
The police officers all said they understood, but when it came to routine inspections, the implementation standards were another matter.
It can be said that the Royal Hong Kong Island Police Force has been shouting the slogan of "Capture the Dragon" loudly during this period, but in reality it is just a lot of noise but little action. For Lin Zehao, it is completely painless and almost like a tickle.
Power, without the support of the people at the bottom, will become a castle in the air.
What else can these foreigners do when their subordinates won’t cooperate?
Han Yili also knew this, so he didn't pursue it too much. After a moment of silence, he continued: "I am also very clear about the problems within the police force, but when one way is blocked, we can completely change our thinking and look for other opportunities."
"After all, sometimes it is understandable to use extreme measures to eradicate criminals."
"After all, we are also working for the harmony and stability of Hong Kong society and to create a safer and more prosperous society for the people of Hong Kong Island."
Han Yili's words were full of profound meaning, and the people present had different expressions after hearing them.
Several smart foreigners all looked thoughtful.
Han Yili continued: "The credibility of the Royal Hong Kong Island Police Force and the government has dropped to the freezing point because of this incident. This cannot continue."
"We are soldiers, they are thieves, there is no reason why we can't handle it!"
"I won't put pressure on you. Before the New Year, it's almost like this. But after the New Year, you must be extremely alert and think of various ways to find Hutchison Industries and Lin Zehao's loopholes. Do you understand?"
All the foreigners in the meeting room immediately stood up, saluted in a standard military salute, and said in unison: "Yes, Sir!"
At this moment, the sunlight shines through the French windows and falls on everyone, but there is no solemn feeling, but rather a bit of coldness. …
Hong Kong Island, Kowloon.
The crew of Hutchison Entertainment is currently filming a movie, and as a security guard, Hongzai naturally has to fulfill his job responsibilities.
During this period, Hutchison Entertainment was working at full capacity, with often more than a dozen dramas being produced at the same time. There was no idle person in the entire company.
For these employees, being busier means they can naturally earn more money, especially as the Chinese New Year is approaching, so no one complains.
Taking advantage of the shift change, Hongzi found the boss and told him about Aunt Xia.
Hongzi's boss is a captain of Hutchison Security, in charge of more than 20 people. He is usually a very righteous person, so everyone is willing to talk to him if they have any problems.
"Ah Hong, morally speaking, I really want to help you with this matter, but you also understand that as long as we intervene, the nature of this matter will change and become a matter between Hongtai and Shenghe."
"So, if you really want to do it, you should report it to the society and see what they think before making a decision."
Shenghe's rules are very strict, especially when it comes to matters that have risen to the level of two societies. If one acts without permission from above, the offender will be expelled from the society at best, or punished by three cuts and six holes, or by family law at worst.
Not to mention that he is just a captain of Hutchison Security and a member who is just looking for money. Even if he is the leader of the society, he still has to ask for instructions from his superiors.
This is the rule set by their leader, Weilonghao, and no one has the right to violate it.
Although Hongzi knew that what the boss said made sense, he still hesitated and said, "But, I'm not familiar with the people in the society. Will they agree?"
He was silent for a moment, took a deep puff of his cigarette, and said, "Actually, there are other ways. It depends on whether you dare to do it."
Hongzi asked quickly: "What's the solution?"
The captain threw the cigarette butt on the ground, extinguished it with his toes, and asked, "Do you know who the heroine of the play we are filming now is?"
Hongzi nodded quickly and said, "I know, Rosamund Kwan, a very popular female star recently."
The captain smiled mysteriously, looked around, and when he found no one was there, he lowered his voice and said, "You have only been working at Heji for a short time, so you don't know a lot of things yet."
"In fact, besides being a celebrity, Miss Guan also has another identity..."
Hongzi was stunned, the gossip fire in his heart was burning, and he asked quickly: "What is your identity?"
It has to be said that gossip is simply human nature and is completely unavoidable.
"Miss Guan, she is actually our sister-in-law..."
Hearing this news, Hongzi was confused and asked in disbelief: "Sister-in-law? What sister-in-law?"
The captain knocked on his head and said, "Silly boy, who is your boss?"
Hongzi rubbed his head and said, "My boss, isn't it you?"
The captain sighed, shook his head, raised a finger, pointed to the sky, and said, "Nonsense, I'm talking about the boss of everyone. There is only one in the entire Hutchison."
At this point, Hongzi finally reacted, his face full of disbelief, his mouth wide open, and even his voice tone raised several degrees, and said: "Are you talking about, Brother Hao?"
"Keep your voice down. If you want to die, don't take me with you. Who else could it be if not Brother Hao?"
"Now, you should understand."
Hongzi covered his mouth, nodded repeatedly, and asked: "I understand, but what does this matter have to do with what I asked you for help with?"
The captain said, "You are such a fool. Fortunately, you didn't go to the underworld, but did a decent job. Otherwise, with your naivety, you would have been sold out and would still be helping others count banknotes."
"Think about it, if you tell your sister-in-law about your situation, and she speaks for you, wouldn't it be easy to get justice for your neighbor?"
"What is Hongtai and Hongxing? Isn't it just a matter of a word from Brother Hao?"
Hongzi suddenly realized and asked, "But how can I ask my sister-in-law for help?"
The captain said: "It's simple. Just tell the truth when the time comes. Don't hide anything."
"This sister-in-law has a very good temper. As long as you tell the truth, she will never make things difficult for you, regardless of whether she helps you in the end or not."
After Hongzi got the method, he began to rehearse the conversation scene after meeting his sister-in-law.
After practicing several times and feeling that there was no problem, he started to take action.
After Hongzai found out about Rosamund Kwan's trailer, he was about to approach when he was stopped by two women in black suits. One of the women had short hair and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Kwan is taking a break. If the crew has anything to say, please wait until work time."
The two of them were more or less sturdy and stood very straight. From a distance, they didn't even look like women.
For various considerations, Lin Zehao equipped his women with female bodyguards.
Given his current status, it is inevitable that someone will take advantage of the people around him. It is better to prevent this kind of risk before it happens.
"I have something personal to discuss with Miss Guan. I'm from Hutchison Security."
Hongzi quickly took out his work ID from his pocket and handed it to the two bodyguards.
The woman had no intention of taking the documents, and continued coldly, "No matter who you are, you need to wait until work hours."
"Now, please leave immediately, otherwise we will take compulsory measures against you."
Their duty is to protect Guan Zhilin's safety, and everything else is not important.
Hongzi was about to explain when he found that the door of the makeup trailer was opened. A woman wearing black-framed glasses came out and said, "I am Miss Guan's assistant. She said that if you have anything to do, then come back to see her in half an hour."
"She's been filming for the whole morning and needs a rest."
Facing his sister-in-law's words, Hongzi naturally didn't dare to say anything more, and quickly nodded and said, "Thank you, I'll come back in half an hour."
Half an hour later, Hongzai appeared in front of the trailer on time, just in time to see Guan Zhilin, who was wearing casual clothes and big sunglasses, walking out of the trailer, sitting under a parasol nearby, drinking iced juice.
"Hello, sister-in-law. I'm Ah Hong. Just call me Hongzi. You told me to come back in half an hour..."
Hongzi came in front of Rosamund Kwan and spoke nervously, standing straight with his hands pressed tightly against his trouser line. Even his voice was trembling slightly uncontrollably.
As one of the most ordinary employees in Hutchison Security, Hongzai had never thought that he would have the opportunity to talk to his sister-in-law.
The impact this had on him was no less than winning the lottery.
Guan Zhilin put down the juice in her hand and asked, "I remember. What do you want to talk to me about?"
Hongzi kept the captain's instructions in mind and told the whole story in detail, not daring to hide anything.
Then he stood there, waiting for his sister-in-law's decision.
Rosamund Kwan frowned, and her big eyes behind her sunglasses were also filled with anger.
