Seeing Mai Lihao's embarrassed look, Shi Zhijian smiled: "I want to have a cup of coffee first!"
"Eh? Of course you can! Secretary, come on, give Councilor Shi a cup of coffee, please add two candies!"
The ghost guys around me fainted again!
Even Shi Zhijian knows how many sugars he needs to add to his coffee, which shows how close the two are to each other.
Bailiqu, the ghost guy, looked even more embarrassed.
Since the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, he has been forming cliques and trying his best to squeeze out Shi Zhijian. Now it seems that everything is in vain! No matter how hard he tries, he can't change Shi Zhijian's position in the heart of the future Hong Kong Governor.
Soon an interesting scene appeared.
Shi Zhijian sat at the conference table with his legs crossed, drinking coffee comfortably. The future Governor of Hong Kong, Mak Laiho, was waiting beside him with an anxious look on his face.
Bailiqu and other ghost guys had strange expressions on their faces, and their eyes were full of various meanings.
"Dear Shi, how are you? What do you think of the situation at hand?" Mai Lihao couldn't wait to ask.
Shi Zhijian's impression on Mai Lihao has always been that he is smart, eye-catching, and full of various strategies. Otherwise, Mai Lihao would not dare to rely on Shi Zhijian to check and balance Bailiqu.
Shi Zhijian put down his coffee, "Ge Bainan still needs to be arrested, but once he is arrested, the whole of Hong Kong will be in chaos! You know, the current situation in Hong Kong did not accumulate overnight. We Chinese have always had the habit of giving red envelopes. This habit
Once it becomes a rule or a routine, it is difficult to break it.”
"I know this too, but long-term illness requires strong medicine. Isn't the purpose of setting up the Independent Commission Against Corruption to stop this kind of behavior?"
"But there is one thing you don't know. We Chinese often say that the law does not punish the public! If there are too many people committing a crime, it will be impossible to punish it! The same is true for the corruption situation in Hong Kong now! The police collect black money,
Fire alarms charge a throat opening fee, medical staff charge a service fee, and even the busboys in tea restaurants charge a small fee! From top to bottom in the entire environment, there is no one who is not greedy? If you don’t believe it, ask Sir Bailiqu and the others.
?”
Mai Lihao looked at Bailiqu and others.
These people cursed Shi Zhijian as a son of a bitch in their hearts!
"Ahem, we don't know whether others are greedy or not, but we are not greedy!"
"Yes! Yes! We all get our wages on time every month and we don't covet the small money!"
Before these idiots could finish their words, Shi Zhijian smiled and said: "Penny money? No way. As far as I know, Senator Henry just bought a limited edition Ferrari not long ago. How much did it cost? Six hundred thousand or eight hundred thousand."
?Your monthly salary is NT$10,000. You need to work NT$800,000 for eighty months. Eighty months is almost six or seven years! You spend six or seven years of salary to buy a sports car. Congressman Henry, you are quite happy.
Luxurious!”
Ghost Henry's face turned red: "Is it okay if I win money by buying horse racing tickets? I'm lucky, can't I get lucky?"
"Okay! Of course!" Shi Zhijian smiled and looked at the other ghost guy, Allen.
Ghost guy Allen's heart skipped a beat and he quickly turned his face away for fear of being spotted by Shi Zhijian.
"Congressman Allen, I heard that your wife won a diamond necklace at Christie's auction house not long ago, worth 230,000! Don't tell me that you bought the lottery ticket in partnership with Congressman Henry!"
Ghost guy Allen took out his handkerchief and wiped his forehead: "Well...my wife has another man outside! That man is in business, and he gives her money. Is that okay?"
"Wow, Congressman Allen, you are so courageous, I support you!" Shi Zhijian gave the other party a thumbs up.
Shi Zhijian looked at the gang of ghosts again.
Those ghost guys turned their heads and did not meet Shi Zhijian's eyes.
Seeing that a large group of people were frightened by Shi Zhijian alone, Gui Lao Bailiqu couldn't help but said: "Congressman Shi, what's the use of talking about this? Everyone knows that the general environment is like this. Now we are asking to solve the problem, not here.
Be held accountable!”
Shi Zhijian nodded, "You are right! We want to solve the problem, so we must grasp the essence of the problem, and the essence of corruption in Hong Kong is-"
Shi Zhijian pointed his right index finger at Baili Qu: "Senior officials like you are too greedy!"
"What did you say?"
"Be bold!"
"presumptuous!"
"How can you accuse Master Bailiqu like this?"
Faced with the roar, Shi Zhijian smiled slightly and clasped his index fingers: "I'm sorry, I haven't finished speaking! In fact, what I said just now was not directed at someone, but at everyone present!"
Exploded with a bang!
"Shi Zhijian, what are you talking about?!"
"God, it's unbelievable!"
Bailiqu was also stunned. He didn't expect Shi Zhijian to dare to be enemies with everyone!
He was in a complicated mood at this moment. He didn't know whether to be happy or jealous!
After all, if you dare to be enemies with everyone, you must have the qualifications to look down on the world!
Seeing the chaos at the scene, Mai Lihao could no longer bear it and slapped the table: "Okay! That's enough! Everyone be quiet!"
Only then did all the ghosts stop chattering and looked at Mai Lihao together.
Mak Lihao glared at everyone. As the future governor of Hong Kong, he had an intimidating aura.
"Is my dear Shi wrong? You can sit here not because of how good you are, but because you are British and have the blood of British aristocrats in your body!"
"You can be greedy for money, but don't destroy Hong Kong!"
"No, we-"
"Shut up!"
"OK!"
Mai Lihao scolded everyone, then turned to Shi Zhijian and said: "You continue!"
Shi Zhijian nodded, "Now the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. If you want to completely eradicate this cancer, major surgery is necessary! Why is Ge Bai's case so difficult to handle? The reason is that his position is chief superintendent! It has a great influence
Big! In addition, if our Independent Commission Against Corruption continues to be aggressive, it is very likely that there will be councilors, directors, division directors! or even higher positions! When the time comes, I ask everyone, should we do it or not?"
Everyone was speechless.
"If we do it, although we can give an explanation to the citizens, the entire government structure will collapse! If we don't do it, the moths will continue to harm us, and the entire government structure will collapse sooner or later! It's just that one is faster and the other is slower! I know what you say.
, what to do?”
Everyone looks at me and I look at you, and continue to act dumb.
Not to mention Mai Lihao at this moment, even Shi Zhijian's sworn enemy Bailiqu is thinking about this difficult knot.
Shi Zhijian pondered for a moment and then continued: "So what we have to do now is to win steadily. We must not be one-size-fits-all in anti-corruption! Instead, we must carry out targeted operations, peeling off the skin layer by layer like an onion. For example, no matter how much corruption is committed, we will not be held accountable.
, from which year will the corruption begin to be counted? Those who have committed corruption will not be held accountable, and those who have reached a certain level will not be held accountable - "
"I agree with this!"
"I agree too!"
Upon hearing the last item, many ghost guys at the scene immediately raised their hands in agreement!
Mai Lihao rolled his eyes.
Bailiqu couldn't bear to look at it anymore!
Shame on you!
Those ghost guys can't control so much. They finally caught a chance to escape from death. Of course, they must seize it!
…
In fact, from the very beginning when Shi Zhijian proposed the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, he had a fallback strategy, which was to peel the onion to punish corruption.
Shi Zhijian in the previous life clearly remembers that the Independent Commission Against Corruption faced difficulties when it was first established, mainly because there were too many corrupt people in Hong Kong.
Especially at the upper level, there is a huge black pool. Basically, all officials do not accept illegal money! They even regard collecting illegal money as a very common thing and take it for granted.
Especially after Superintendent Ge Bai was arrested, he once said in his confession: "Corruption in Hong Kong is as simple as drinking water and eating, so natural! Before you know it, you will be deeply involved..."
How could Bailiqu, the ghost guy who had always been at odds with Shi Zhijian, know this? He thought that by snatching control of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, he would be able to wield great power and show off his power, but he didn't expect that he was shooting himself in the foot!
Shi Zhijian suddenly asked someone to reveal a "Ge Bai Case", which made Bailiqu rack his brains and was unable to use it!
In the end, it was Shi Zhijian who stole the show, which made Mai Lihao treat Shi Zhijian even more differently!
On the other hand, Shi Zhijian believed that as soon as this onion-peeling method was adopted, the ICAC's offensive against Lei Luo would completely slow down, and there would be no substantial progress within a year and a half. Taking advantage of this time, Lei Luo would
Luo has every chance to dump his assets and run away.
As for Shi Zhijian himself, he will soon go to the UK to receive the Queen's award. As for Hong Kong, it has nothing to do with him no matter how floods come!
In short, Shi Zhijian has done everything he can, and it is up to Lei Luo to decide whether to live or die next.
After leaving the ICAC, it was already past six o'clock. Chen Huimin drove and asked Shi Zhijian where he was going. Shi Zhijian said without hesitation: "Go to Lu Yu Tea House, Xijiu gave me something good!"
…
The owner of Lu Yu Teahouse has known Shi Zhijian for a long time, and even Shi Zhijian's Bentley has long been the object of constant attention for many big hotels and high-end teahouses in Hong Kong.
Often some new employees will be informed of these "features" during training to facilitate the waiters' work.
At this moment, an old waiter at Lu Yu Tea House was holding an unlit cigarette in his mouth, leaning against the wall and teaching the new boy: "Now, you know what I'm saying, being a waiter is not that simple! Especially working in a tea house
It is even more important to keep an eye on all directions and an ear to listen to all directions!”
"Boss, I know what you're saying!" The younger brother helped the old waiter light the cigarette enthusiastically.
The old waiter enjoyed the feeling of being served, and said in a calm tone: "Okay, good for you! If you want to do well here, you must first know a few cars -
The one with the 555 license plate belongs to the police boss Lei Luo! The one who likes to drive red sports cars and is full of arrogance belongs to the third young master of the Xu family! The one who drives a black Bentley and uses a cane when getting out of the car belongs to the Justice of the Peace Lame Hao
!
The last one is amazing, it is also a Bentley, but it is in champagne color, the style is not eye-catching, and it is not showy, but the person riding in this car is more majestic and powerful than the previous ones. He is-"
The old waiter's eyes were round, staring at the slowly approaching vehicle in front, his lips trembling: "It's just... Shi Shi Shi..."
"What's the stone? Boss, do you want to hide something? I know if you don't want to talk?" the younger brother said, looking at the old waiter who was covered in chaff.
The old waiter didn't care about him, spit out the cigarette he had just taken, and hurriedly ran towards the Bentley: "Congressman Shi, why are you here?"
"Come here for tea." Shi Zhijian got out of the car with a smile.
The old waiter knew that although Mr. Shi was young, he held a high position and was one of the tycoons in Hong Kong. He must be respectful!
"Oh, by the way, Councilor Shi, Detective Chen has booked a private room, is he waiting for you?"
"Xingshuo, take me there first!"
"Great!" Shi Zhijian praised the old waiter as being as sweet as honey.
The newcomer next to him scratched his head and looked puzzled as he watched the old waiter lead Shi Zhijian upstairs. He couldn't help but ask the people around him: "Who is that? So majestic?"
"Who? You don't even know him, how can you hang around in Hong Kong?" said my colleague scornfully, "He is the famous legislator and future knight - Shi Zhijian!"
"Oh, it's that traitorous god!"
"You're trying to die! Is it so loud?" The colleague hurriedly reached out to cover the stunned young man's mouth.
…
Lu Yu Tea House, VIP Room.
Chen Xijiu paced back and forth with a cigarette in his mouth.
It was the first time for Ax Jun to come to such a high-end place. He heard that many rich people drank tea and spent money here, costing two to three hundred at a time! It was really scary!
A person like him who throws his head and blood and works hard in the world only pays five to six thousand yuan for his life!
Tea and snacks arrived soon, including Pu'er tea, lotus seed paste buns, barbecued pork buns, and shrimp dumplings. There were also mung bean cakes and brown sugar cakes, which were colorful and beautiful.
Chen Xijiu looked at the table full of refreshments without making a move.
Ax Jun saw that he was not moving, so he did not dare to move himself.
Soon, Ax Jun's stomach growled.
Chen Xijiu seemed to be thinking about something, holding a cigarette in his mouth and pacing without paying attention.
Ax Jun was being clever and patted his belly and said to himself: "Belly, belly, today is your first day with the new boss. You have to gain some momentum and don't yell at me easily. You will be looked down upon by the boss!"
"Huh?" Chen Xijiu was stunned for a moment, then pointed to the refreshments, "Eat whatever you want! What kind of drama are you acting in? Your acting skills are terrible!"
"Hey!" Ax Junxi smiled widely, moved his hands, stuffed the barbecued pork buns in his left hand, and the lotus seed paste buns in his right hand, and stuffed them into his mouth!
Axe-Jun ate his tea. He was kind-hearted and would say to Chen Xijiu from time to time: "Brother Xijiu, the snacks here are so good. Don't you want some?"
"Brother Xijiu, I'm almost going to finish this snack, can you have one more?"
"Brother Xijiu, I really like this plate of lotus seed buns. Can you help me pack them when I leave? My grandma also likes them very much!"
Chen Xijiu was annoyed by Ax Jun's noisy, and waved his hand: "You can eat as much as you want! You can pack as much as you want! Don't be polite to me, who made me your boss?"
Ax Jun nodded hurriedly: "Hey! I like your words the most, boss! It's so warm and happy!"
"Are you happy? I'll take you to a sauna later. Isn't it too easy?"
"Isn't this bad? I just followed you and I didn't get any credit. You are so kind to me, which makes me so embarrassed!" Axe Jun stuffed the buns into his mouth hard, but there was no trace of embarrassment on his face.
.
"By the way, where do you want to go to Biandu for a sauna? I know a Filipino guy, and you can get a 20% discount on cooking at his place!"
Chen Xijiu rolled his eyes, looked at Axe Jun who was eating so much, shook his head and said, "First fill your stomach!"
"Oh!" Axe Jun was very well-behaved and obedient, and continued to stuff buns into his mouth, this time three of them in one mouthful!
