As winter enters Hong Kong, the temperature begins to drop, and snowflakes even begin to fall from the sky.
It snows in Hong Kong in this era, which makes Shi Zhijian feel very strange.
Shaqiang parked his car near the tenement house in Causeway Bay. According to Brother Luo's instructions, he came here to pick up Shi Zhijian to attend the housewarming banquet held by Lei Luo at his new home tonight.
Lei Luo used to live in Repulse Bay. Less than three months after he became Inspector Zonghua, he moved to Peak Road and became neighbors with many big bosses.
It is said that the price of his new villa is as high as 1.5 million, and the decoration is first-class in every aspect.
As for where the money to buy the villa came from, everyone knows that it was definitely not from Lei Luo's own pocket.
Since he took office, there have been many people willing to pay for his villa.
Tonight is nominally a housewarming celebration for Lei Mansion, but in reality it is a year-end martial arts conference.
Lei Luo is the leader of the martial arts alliance of the black and white circles. He invites heroes from all over the world to gather together to divide the territory and lay the foundation for next year's plan to make a fortune.
Shi Zhijian likes to wear white suits. To show his respect, he specially picked the most beautiful suit to wear and looked at it again and again in the mirror.
The elder sister Shi Yufeng next to me was nagging: "I heard that your company is about to close down, but you are still so greedy? If you have money, go into debt first. Don't waste money on clothes!"
Baoer held the newly bought Barbie doll and looked at Shi Zhijian with her little head tilted, "Uncle, can I marry you when I grow up?"
"Why?" Shi Zhijian put down the wooden comb and touched Bao'er's head with his hand.
"Because you are so handsome, and I like handsome boys!"
"This won't work. The more handsome a man is, the more he will be carefree. Bao'er needs to find someone who treats you well and is honest!"
"But I just like you."
"Let's wait until you grow up." Shi Zhijian stopped teasing Bao'er, stretched out his hand and wiped his hair again, feeling that he had applied a little too much hair wax.
Shaqiang outside seemed a little impatient and shouted: "Brother Jian, are you okay? The banquet is about to start!"
Shi Yufeng said: "Why don't you ask Shaqiang to come up? It's so cold in the wind outside!"
"I'm leaving soon, what are you doing here?" After Shi Zhijian finished speaking, he tied his tie and turned around and walked outside, saying: "Don't wait for me tonight, you go to bed first!"
"If you don't come back, do you think you'll consider this place your home?"
"Mom, I'm going to marry my uncle when I grow up!" Bao'er leaned over and hugged Shi Yufeng's thigh and said coquettishly.
Shi Yufeng picked her up and said, "Marry a ghost! This handsome boy has no good intentions. You must remember it clearly!"
…
When Shaqiang drove through the Central Avenue and entered Taipingshan Road, Shi Zhijian took a look outside and saw that the legendary hilltop mansion area was right in front of him.
Shaqiang glanced outside with envy and said excitedly: "Brother Jian, this is the top of Taiping Mountain! Alas, I never thought that one day I would be able to eat in the mansion on the top of the mountain."
"I heard that a house here costs millions, and even if you have money, you can't buy it!"
Shi Zhijian smiled and said, "That's because the Hong Kong Governor lives here. If you ask the Hong Kong Governor to move to Shek Kip Mei, the prices of our old shabby buildings will definitely rise to the sky!"
"Then let's kidnap the Hong Kong Governor! Grandma's bear will also make us rich!"
Shi Zhijian felt that Shaqiang's words were very constructive. Kidnapping the Hong Kong governor sounded so majestic.
But what is even more majestic are the Chinese who live on the Peak of Victoria Peak. Tycoons, bosses, shipping kings and detectives. Any one of them who stands up and stamps their feet can shake Hong Kong to its core.
These people are the real masters of Hong Kong!
Soon, the car arrived at the villa area on the top of the mountain.
The huge iron gate was opened, and a man wearing a blue gown who looked like a butler stood aside, handling the guests in a very skillful manner.
The butler’s surname is Wu, Wu Guangzhong. He has been in this business for almost thirty years and is respectfully called “the overlord among butlers” by people in the industry.
Prior to this, Butler Wu had served Hong Kong's first detective, Yao Mu.
Yao Mu was a big shot in both black and white back then, even Superintendent Gui Lao had to respect him.
It is said that when Yao Mu was at his most powerful, he wanted to eat a bite of Xirong in the middle of the night. In order to curry favor with him, the black and white people lined up from Tsim Sha Tsui to the Peak Road with Xirong in hand.
As Yao Mu's housekeeper, Wu Guangzhong served him for many years, enjoyed treatment that many people had not received, and was respected by countless people.
I remember back then, everyone who met him was extremely respectful and called him "Steward Wu" or "Mr. Wu".
At that moment, Wu Guangzhong's heart was filled with joy and satisfaction.
Being a housekeeper is as good as his, what more could I ask for?
Butler Wu served Yao Mu for many years until Yao Mu retired. Then Yao Mu suffered a stroke at home and hired professional medical professionals to take care of him. However, there was no need for a sociable butler like him.
At the same time, the door to Yao Mu's house began to change from busy with traffic to deserted. The eyes that once respected Wu Guangzhong disappeared, and the people who fawned over him disappeared.
Many people even started calling him "Old Wu" in a frivolous and disrespectful tone.
When people leave, the tea cools down, as expected.
Just when Butler Wu was hesitating to leave the Yao family, Lei Luo extended an olive branch to him.
Smart people know how to choose. Lei Luo is at the top of his game, and he, Wu Guangzhong, can use Lei Luo's power to become a "superior man" again.
At this moment, Wu Guangzhong, with a smile on his face, thanked every guest who came to the Lei Mansion. These people included political figures, bigwigs, and many senior police superintendents, inspectors, etc.
Wu Guangzhong dealt with it very skillfully, and he saw the flattery and ingratiation from those people's faces.
He liked this feeling very much.
Shaqiang parked the car, touched Shi Zhijian's shoulder before getting out of the car, straightened his tie and asked, "Brother Jian, do you think I look pretty tonight?"
It's rare for Silly Qiang to wear a suit, and he's tall and tall, so he's quite stylish.
"Not bad, just a little bit worse than me."
Wu Guangzhong also saw the two of them and thought to himself that they were two stupid young men again.
He has seen many young people like this. Whether it was then or now, there are many people who want to gain power and take advantage of the opportunity to rise to the top.
"You two are staying, do you have an invitation letter?" Wu Guangzhong stopped Shi Zhijian and Shaqiang.
After all, it is a high-end banquet, and all the distinguished guests have received invitations. Only with this can you enter.
Shaqiang was dumbfounded and slapped his thigh, "Oops, I forgot to take it!"
Shi Zhijian took out his invitation letter from his arms and handed it to Wu Guangzhong. He turned to Shaqiang and said, "Have a look. Is it on the car?"
"Not in the car, at home!" Shaqiang almost cried. He lived far away, and a trip back and forth would probably end the banquet.
"Brother Jian, I really like this banquet, I don't want to miss it!" Sha Qiang said with a grimace.
Shi Zhijian turned around and looked at Wu Guangzhong, "Can you be accommodating?"
"no."
Wu Guangzhong was very principled. He guessed that the young man in front of him would pay for him next, and he would severely reject him.
Yes, I want to leave a good impression on Mr. Lei, not be moved by money, and be a trustworthy and good steward. It is definitely worth the money he spent to invite me.
Shi Zhijian did not pay, but smiled and said to Wu Guangzhong: "Can you help me inform you that someone forgot the invitation and was stopped outside?"
"No, I'm very busy."
"Are you busy or unwilling?" Shi Zhijian looked at the old-fashioned butler.
Wu Guangzhong was a little unhappy. These stupid young men were really ignorant.
"I don't want to, so what?" Wu Guangzhong put on a very high posture.
Shi Zhijian smiled, leaned over and said something into Wu Guangzhong's ear.
Wu Guangzhong's expression changed drastically.
Shi Zhijian greeted Sha Qiang and said, "Okay, let's go in!"
"Huh? What did you say to him?" Shaqiang looked confused.
"I told him, my name is Shaqiang, and if you don't give way, I'll shoot you in the head!"
"Huh? Why did you use my name? Where's my gun? How did it get into your hands?"
Seeing Shaqiang chasing Shi Zhijian into the villa, Wu Guangzhong was not angry. Instead, he took a deep look at Shi Zhijian and said, "If this kid really dares to kill me, his future will be limitless!"
