Hong Kong General: Rebirth of Rage, Rising from Prison

Chapter 268 I am the new owner of ATV, and you have been fired because you entered the company with your left foot first!

Lok Wai-ching is now a pillar of ATV. She became a top anchor after reporting on the "Century Thieves Gang," and is responsible for broadcasting the news during prime time.

The person spitting at her was Kuang Jiyao, the newly appointed editor-in-chief who had been parachuted in. This person was actually Qiu Degen's man.

Kuang Jiyao has a gaunt appearance and wears a pair of round glasses with thick, beer-bottle-bottom-sized frames. He could be cast as a traitor in an anti-Japanese war drama without even needing makeup.

It looks just like that—sleazy.

He is a person who particularly likes to put on airs and use his position to intimidate others.

Especially the female radio anchors.

Unfortunately, although Lok Wai-ching was beautiful and outstanding, she had a tomboyish personality and didn't take him seriously at all.

This challenged his authority.

Therefore, he would also make things difficult for Lok Wai-ching at work, behaving like a complete scoundrel.

This time, Lok Wai-ching proposed starting a new column called In-Depth Dialogue, which would invite well-known figures to have in-depth conversations and analyses of the news based on trending topics.

In the first episode, she planned to target Zhang Chongbang, sharply focusing her perspective on the police force.

The angle is unique, the content is spicy, and it's very eye-catching.

Although Kuang Jiyao is arrogant, he is not a fool. He can tell from this proposal that if it is broadcast, it will definitely have very good ratings.

Scolding Lok Wai-ching was not only a way for him to assert his presence, but also an attempt to put her in a bad position and teach her a lesson.

"What were you thinking when you wrote such an in-depth report on the Zhang Chongbang case? Is your brain filled with shit?"

"This happened so long ago, is it still news?"

"All the media in Hong Kong are reporting on the bravery of the police and praising the heroes. Are you deliberately going against the grain by doing this?"

Kuang Jiyao held the document in his hand, pointing and gesturing wildly at Le Huizhen.

Lok Wai-ching and her partner, the chubby boy, exchanged furious glances, their eyes secretly meeting Kuang Ji-yao's.

The disdain on their faces was undisguised.

"What are you two doing? I'm teaching you how to do things for your own good, don't you understand?"

"Why are you making those faces? Are you thinking of my mother in your heart?"

Kuang Jiyao's face turned bright red, and he spat even more saliva.

"Editor-in-chief, we didn't say that. If that's what you think, there's nothing we can do. Let's just accept it as such."

Le Huizhen spread her little hands, tilted her head, and looked very playful.

"you……"

This sight infuriated Kuang Jiyao so much that he pointed at Lok Wai-ching's nose and began to hurl insults.

Xixin Building, downstairs from ATV.

"Shh, shh, shh!"

A Rolls-Royce led the way, followed by three black Mercedes-Benzes, all parked neatly on the side of the road.

Bursting Beads jumped out of the car and helped open the door.

Chen Shixian straightened the lapel of his bespoke suit and stepped out of the car.

With a handsome face, a serious expression, a tall and slender figure, and an extraordinary demeanor, he walked towards the gate.

Qiu Gang'ao, Baozhu, and seven or eight bodyguards, all dressed in black suits, followed behind, exuding an imposing aura.

On his first visit to ATV, Chen Shixian put on the pomp and circumstance befitting his status.

Respect the garment first, then the person; this is an unchanging law of interpersonal relationships. If you have ability, you need to let others see it before they will respect you.

Being low-key is only appropriate when everyone knows your capabilities.

Otherwise, you're just asking for trouble.

The initial impression formed during the first meeting, based on your appearance, temperament, and speech, accounts for at least 70% to 80% of subsequent interactions. This is known as the primacy effect.

Don't blame others for judging people by their appearance.

When people meet you for the first time, they only look at your appearance. Do you expect them to see beyond the surface and understand the true nature of things?
What about a company chairman wearing a cleaner's uniform, a rich heiress working discreetly, or a political bigwig quietly buying groceries at the market...?

Are you kidding me? The probability of you meeting someone like that in real life is lower than winning the lottery.

Ordinary people shouldn't learn this.

Don't go to parent-teacher meetings dressed as a repairman, cleaner, or security guard.

Is it illegal to change clothes?
The child has self-esteem, yet they accuse him of being materialistic and greedy, using the excuse that "a dog doesn't mind a poor home, and a child doesn't mind an ugly mother."

Let me ask you this: if it weren't a parent-teacher meeting but a classmate reunion, would you still wear these work clothes to attend?

Therefore, Chen Shixian would never resort to the undercover investigation tactic to test human nature.

Wealth and honor do not return to their hometown, just like walking in brocade at night.

The first appearance must be impressive, grand, and let the people below know that the new boss is shrewd and sharp!
He wants everyone to respect and fear him!

"Wow, what a big shot! Who is it?"

"It must be the new owner of ATV. Didn't RTV just undergo a major rebranding recently?"

"The new boss of ATV is Chiu Te-ken from Far East, how could an old man with half his body in the grave be so young?"

Far East is embroiled in scandals, its stock price has plummeted, and I heard it sold ATV.

"Who is this boss? He's so handsome and young!"

Passersby whispered among themselves upon seeing this.

But as Chen Shixian and his group approached, they all held their breath and dared not speak.

In the lobby of the ATV Building, General Manager Huang Xizhao and several key management personnel from the television station had been waiting for a long time.

The moment they saw Chen Shixian, the core management staff of the TV station were somewhat surprised.

As everyone knows, the new owner is very young.

But I didn't expect him to be so young and handsome. He would look great on camera even if he were cast in a TV series.

However, unlike celebrities, Chen Shixian exudes an inexplicable and dignified aura from the inside out.

His eyes, in particular, were calm yet deep, as if they could devour one's heart.

"Hello Mr. Chen, I am Huang Xizhao, the general manager of the radio station."

Huang Xizhao said respectfully to Chen Shixian, "I and several senior managers have come to welcome you upstairs for a tour."

"Hello, Mr. Chen!"

"Chen Sheng!"

The accompanying TV executives all wore smiles and were very low-key and polite.

In a short period of time, it has changed three owners, from Richard to Qiu Degen, and now to Chen Shixian.

The current big boss, Chen Shixian, owns 80-90% of the shares, making him the dominant shareholder with veto power.

Now, he can make all the decisions for ATV all by himself.

When a new official takes office, they make a big show of it, and they're genuinely afraid that this fire will backfire on them.

Therefore, everyone was cautious and respectful, and even though they were older, they all had great respect for this young man.

After all, who would disrespect their benefactors?
"Okay, let's start with the news department then."

Chen Shixian nodded slightly and followed closely behind Huang Xizhao.

"Okay, the news department is on the 13th floor, please!"

Huang Xizhao led the way.

Chen Shixian's arrival was sudden; he only greeted them on his way here.

He just wanted to see the most authentic working conditions at a television station.

"Ding!"

The elevator door opens.

Chen Shixian and the others walked out slowly, following Huang Xizhao's footsteps, towards the news department.

"Le Huizhen, you've gone too far! Do you think it's something to be honored to be kept by someone just because of your looks?"

"This is utterly morally reprehensible!"

"You think you're some kind of pure and immaculate saint!"

"What are you so arrogant about in front of me?"

Kuang Jiyao pointed at Le Huizhen's nose and berated her.

Rumors had been circulating within the station that Lok Wai-ching had been kept by a mysterious tycoon.

He was furious and relentlessly used the incident to berate Lok Wai-ching, shouting loudly in an attempt to ruin her reputation.

The commotion attracted many colleagues in the office, who peered inside and whispered among themselves.

Lok Wai-ching was being stared at like a monkey; her fists clenched tightly, and her body trembled slightly.

"Ah!"

At that moment, the door was pushed open forcefully.

Kuang Jiyao was startled and looked towards the door.

A young man, whom no one recognized, walked in, surrounded by General Manager Huang Xizhao and a group of senior executives from the television station.

This scene instantly silenced him, and he had a bad feeling.

"Manager Huang."

Kuang Jiyao called out softly.

"Editor-in-Chief Kuang, you're really disciplining your subordinates without considering the occasion or the wording!"

Huang Xizhao muttered a reprimand under his breath, his face dark. He hadn't expected to witness such an embarrassing scene on the new boss's first inspection tour.

He urged, "This is ATV's new boss, Mr. Chen. Hurry up and greet him."

"Hello, Mr. Chen."

Kuang Jiyao's expression changed slightly. He hadn't expected that such a young and handsome guy would be the new boss.

He quickly nodded and bowed to greet them, not daring to slack off at all.

"Chen Shixian is the new boss of ATV!"

Le Huizhen was stunned for a few seconds, but her initial euphoria vanished instantly, replaced by excitement. Her gaze towards Chen Shixian was filled with reverence, and she inwardly cheered:
"My husband is awesome!"

"This handsome guy surrounded by the leaders is my man, that's right, my man!"

"Cool!"

"That four-eyed editor-in-chief is doomed!"

Chen Shixian exuded a murderous aura, his face cold and stern as he glanced at Kuang Jiyao before his gaze slid down to the scattered documents on the ground.

The executive director stepped forward, picked up the promotional copy from the ground, and handed it to Chen Shixian.

He glanced at it briefly and saw that it was signed by Lok Wai-ching. He gently placed it beside him.

The air pressure suddenly dropped. He raised an eyebrow and said in a nonchalant tone, "I'm not doing well because someone is being very inconsiderate."

"Le Huizhen, look at you, you have no sense at all. Hurry up and call him Mr. Chen."

"How insensible!"

Kuang Jiyao slanted at Le Huizhen and reprimanded her severely.

"Oh, honey."

Lok Wai-ching's acting skills came to a head. She pouted pitifully, walked forward, took Chen Shih-hsien's arm, and deliberately called out.

"Husband!?"

Kuang Jiyao froze instantly, his eyes wide open. He looked at Chen Shixian in disbelief, then at Le Huizhen, completely dumbfounded.

Is ATV's new boss the man behind Lok Wai-ching?!
Just now, he had berated Yue Huizhen mercilessly, and the new boss caught him red-handed. Wasn't he in a terrible situation?

So, what Chen Shixian meant just now was that he was being ignorant?

It's over, it's over, we're doomed.

Huang Xizhao and the entire management team were also stunned and shocked.

Unexpectedly, there was a great figure hidden inside the TV station. Everyone's expressions towards Yue Huizhen became respectful.

Kuang Jiyao tried to salvage the situation, stammering and incoherently saying, "Mr. Chen and Reporter Le are truly a match made in heaven, a perfect couple..."

"continue."

Chen Shixian interrupted with a mocking expression, saying casually, "If you can't praise me to my satisfaction, then you can leave."

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Le, I'm so sorry, I was blind."

"You two are truly a match made in heaven, a golden couple, flying wing to wing, perfectly in love, a perfect union, like phoenixes singing in harmony, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven, respecting each other like guests, a perfect pair, a match made in heaven..."

When Kuang Jiyao heard that he was to leave, his face turned as ugly as if he had eaten shit.

He hurriedly bowed and apologized, using every word he could think of.

Like a primary school student who has made a mistake, he stood in front of Chen Shixian, constantly reflecting on his actions.

Huang Xizhao and the rest of the management team looked away, some unable to bear the sight.

The colleagues outside were also quietly watching what was happening in the office, and saw that Kuang Jiyao, who was usually arrogant and domineering, was as obedient as a grandson.

Everyone was in a very good mood.

Some female anchors, in particular, who had been wronged by Kuang Jiyao, felt a great sense of relief.

Chen Shixian's image immediately became more impressive in everyone's mind.

The female anchors stated that it was definitely not because he was good-looking.

ten minutes later.

Kuang Jiyao's mouth was already dry from reading, and his vocabulary was running low, so he started making things up: "A harmonious and joyful family, a loving and respectful marriage, a harmonious and harmonious couple, a perfect union, a loving and affectionate father and son..."

"With your level of talent, being an editor-in-chief is a waste of your abilities."

Chen Shixian was too lazy to listen anymore and waved his hand: "Being a manager is about right."

? ? ? ! !

Kuang Jiyao was stunned. This surprise came too suddenly. What did it mean?

Is this a move to promote him?

His expression changed, and he asked excitedly, "Mr. Chen, are you telling the truth?"

"real."

Chen Shixian's lips curled slightly: "Now, you can go back. Report to the management department upstairs tomorrow morning. From now on, you will be Manager Kuang."

???

Lok Wai-ching looked puzzled and confused.

Huang Xizhao and the others all turned to look at Chen Shixian.

What's going on?
The new boss's thoughts are so hard to guess.

Their faces change faster than the weather.

This operation is completely incomprehensible.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen, thank you, Miss Le."

Kuang Jiyao felt like he had won five million in the lottery, he was so happy he felt like he was going to fly to the sky, and he was extremely surprised.

He thanked them profusely and turned to leave.

The popping bead, which had been standing perfectly straight, suddenly stretched out its foot.

"Ah!"

Kuang Jiyao fell heavily to the ground, face-first into the dirt, and knocked out one of his front teeth. He was in so much pain that he saw stars.

"Oh dear, is Manager Kuang alright?"

Chen Shixian asked a question insincerely.

"it's okay no problem."

Kuang Jiyao dared not say anything was wrong, and while blood was gushing from his mouth, he waved his hand.

"Is it really okay?"

"It's okay."

"Should we have someone take you to the hospital?"

"No need, no need, it's nothing."

Kuang Jiyao was afraid of upsetting Chen Shixian and causing him to back out, which would mean he would lose his position as general manager.

These bigwigs are unpredictable and act entirely on their whims; he understands that.

It must have been just now, when I praised the new boss so much that he was very pleased with me.

Just bear with it, and everything will be fine.

Kuang Jiyao retreated with a smug grin.

Chen Shixian's previously warm face instantly darkened: "Manager Huang, the TV station shouldn't keep this kind of trash."

“If Kuang Jiyao enters the TV station tomorrow and enters the company with his left foot first, fire him!”

Huang Xizhao's lips twitched slightly, and she began to understand Chen Shixian's personality.

This guy is a living devil!

Killer pig's heart.

They are vengeful and never let a moment's rest before seeking revenge.

To elevate someone to great heights, then slam them down hard—that's ruthless!
This is no ordinary person.

He quickly and respectfully replied, "Yes, Mr. Chen."

ATV is now owned by Chan Sai-yin, and he can do whatever he wants with it, even if he opens it up along with his own business.

Besides, it's just firing an editor-in-chief.

Le Huizhen finally realized what was going on, and couldn't stop smiling. She gently whispered in Chen Shixian's ear, "You're so naughty."

"What if Kuang Jiyao enters the company with his right foot first tomorrow?"

"Then fire him for not using his left foot to enter the company!"

Chen Shixian spoke in a very serious tone.

Lok Wai-ching was amused and laughed heartily, then asked with a grin, "Now that you're the boss of ATV, my in-depth dialogue program..."

"Of course it's your decision!"

Chen Shixian agreed on the spot.

Humans have feelings and will distinguish between close and distant relationships. As long as it doesn't affect the company, it's okay to give preferential treatment to one's own people.

After all, Ah Zhen had given him special treatment.

This is called reciprocity.

Moreover, he strongly supports this program, especially the first episode, which perfectly suited his taste.

Just like how Lok Hye-ching is at home, she is just as considerate.

After this little incident, Chen Shixian continued to have Huang Xizhao show him around.

Later, I went to the program production department, which includes the planning department, editing department, directing team, camera department, and post-production department.

Advertising Department, Advertising Planning Department, Advertising Sales Department, Advertising Production Department.

The department includes the Technology Department, Broadcasting Department, Technology Research and Development Department, and Equipment Maintenance Department.

He also met the three famous figures of RTV in later generations: Mak Dang-hung, Lee Chao-hung, and Tu Yung-hung.

Screenwriting masters Xiao Yiyuan, Xu Daming, and others.

He made a grand appearance in front of all the employees.

Let everyone know who the new owner of ATV will be.

This also set the tone for the new ATV.

The television station will not undergo a third name change and will retain the name ATV.

Similarly, the core team will not undergo a major overhaul; it will remain the same old production team.

Finally, he will invest 50 million to produce the program.

These measures not only relieved Huang Xizhao, but also made her very excited.

He put a lot of effort into building this team, and they are all talented individuals.

He was very happy that there wouldn't be a major overhaul.

Not to mention that they also invested 50 million yuan to produce television programs. With that much money, they can produce a batch of high-quality programs.

Previously, when Richard was in charge, he was stingy with money because RTV's revenue was not good, and without sufficient funding, it was difficult to produce good programs.

If a program is poorly produced and has low ratings, there will naturally be fewer advertising revenues, and the TV station will not make money.

This led to a vicious cycle, and Rediffusion went downhill all the way.

Unexpectedly, Chen Shixian, young and wealthy, was so generous from the start, giving fifty million right away.

The program he wanted to create could finally be launched.

"Don't be too happy yet."

Chen Shixian threw a program schedule in front of Huang Xizhao.

"The program must be produced according to my requirements."

Chen Shixian's tone left no room for argument.

This tough stance made Huang Xizhao's expression tighten, his brows furrowed, and he couldn't help but feel worried.
