Hong Kong Film: Jimmy? Please call me Councillor Li

Chapter 183 Can you still afford it?

Yau Ma Tei

What does the Ministry of Supervision do?

"I heard from the property management staff that Yuan Ge's company's new department was established to prevent people from bullying us homeowners and abusing their power for personal gain."

Under a large banyan tree at the entrance of Miaojie Street, several elderly people were holding flyers from the community property management company and discussing them, while a staff member of the community property management company stood nearby.

"Hey, A-Diao, is this inspection department really helping us homeowners?"

Although someone has already explained it, the elderly person's thinking ability is clearly not good enough to accurately understand the meaning of the words.

The employee, A-Diao, patiently explained it to them again.

"To be precise, the Supervision Department isn't there to help you; it's a department that monitors and handles reports. Uncle, think about it: what if one day someone from the property management company privately demands exorbitant property fees from you and threatens to prevent you from doing business if you don't pay? What would you do then?"

The elderly people waved their hands dismissively.

"Hey, that's impossible. Yuan-ge is such a good guy, how could such a thing happen?"

It's hilarious. The residents of Yau Ma Tei trust Li Jiayuan even more than they trust themselves. Imagine if one day Li Jiayuan said to an old man in Yau Ma Tei...

You killed someone. This old man really needs to think carefully about whether he has forgotten where he killed someone.

The neighbors' comments left the community property management staff at a loss for words.

He barely managed to suppress his embarrassment.

“Brother Yuan is Brother Yuan, and of course he’s a good person. But you can’t judge a book by its cover. Who can guarantee that the people below won’t have ulterior motives? What will you do if someone abuses their power for personal gain?”

After thinking for a moment, an older woman raised her hand.

"We're looking for Brother Yuan."

"Yes, we can reach out to Brother Yuan, but he has five or six companies under him right now, and he can't rest until midnight every day because of the work he's handling. Sometimes he doesn't have that much time."

"Therefore, the purpose of the Supervision Department is to provide you with a place to report problems. If you find anything wrong, please feel free to report it, and our company will help you solve the problem."

"And you don't need to worry, the head of the Supervision Department is Brother Yuan, no one has the right to interfere, it's absolutely impartial."

Upon hearing this, the neighbors slapped their thighs in excitement.

"Oh, this is great! As expected of Brother Yuan, he even thought of these things. He's so thoughtful."

Everyone chimed in with their own comments.

“I had been thinking about this problem before, what if someone bullies us? I didn’t expect there to be a solution so quickly.”

Seeing this, employee A-Diao finally smiled and immediately started promoting the product.

"That's right. Because the Supervision Department is currently short-staffed, we welcome everyone to actively recommend family members for the job. Do you have any college graduates or high-achieving students in your family?"

"Oh my, I have a niece who just graduated from university today. She received scholarships every year."

"My family has one too. My aunt's third aunt's stepmother's cousin is a college student. I even held him when he was a little boy."

A group of elderly people, chatting for a while, ended up having a competition to see who could keep up with the best.

Others were gossiping.

"Have you read the newspapers lately? An old man starved to death in Yau Ma Tei!"

"Ah, people can still starve to death these days?"

After completing his task, A-Diao moved on to the next promotional location.

Home Building
"Brother Yuan."

"Why are you so nervous? It's just recording a song, relax."

"I'm not nervous, just a little excited."

Today is Cheng Lang's first day of recording a song. The first song Li Jiayuan prepared for him is a classic hit by Leon Lai.

Absolute emptiness.

The person who took Cheng Lang to the recording studio hadn't arrived yet, so Li Jiayuan chatted with him and took the opportunity to find out about the progress of his storyline. "How have you been lately? Is work going well?"

Cheng Lang nodded, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes, and touched his head.

"It's alright, I'm currently helping out at my dad's renovation company."

There's one more thing he didn't mention: he recently met a girl named Zhan Qiao, and this girl is quite special.

Li Jiayuan could tell from the boy's smug expression that he must have run into Zhan Qiao. He felt a pang of pity and thought, "Go ahead and laugh now, but you won't be able to laugh in the future."

The sweeter the beginning, the more heartbreaking the end; it's always been this way.

If it weren't for my intervention, Bao Wenlong and Lin Zhenlie would have had unimaginable consequences; it would have been a complete tragedy.

After sending Cheng Lang away, Li Jiayuan called Hua Di, who was in Taiwan. The work there was progressing smoothly, and he figured he would receive a bonus once the infrastructure was fully completed and the employees started working.

[You have founded Jiayuan Media and officially started filming your first film/television series - official feedback, rewards are being distributed]

Before we even received feedback on the rewards from Taiwan, Jiayuan Media's rewards arrived first.

[Wong Tai Sin's overall approval rating +0.3%]

【Sham Shui Po overall support rate +0.9%】

[Kowloon's overall approval rating increased by 1.6%]

【.】

[Specified Message Card Gift Pack *10]

[Shards of the Support Rate Generator *2 (Can be bound to a single group after use; support rate will automatically increase)]

Wow, the system is really going all out this time, giving away ten designated message cards. These things aren't cheap even when redeemed with points.

Among all those rewards, this is one of the more practical and useful ones.

Li Jiayuan looked puzzled.

Is this a support rate generator?

It's another new item, and you still need to exchange it for fragments!
Based on his experience, the items that can be exchanged for fragments in the system are absolutely overpowered in terms of functionality. Take this hard qigong for example, as long as I'm in the power-up state, I can even withstand bullets.

This thing is practically indestructible, isn't that defying the heavens?

I'm satisfied. That guy, whom I've never met before, really touched me.

Li Jiayuan checked his points again. During this period, he had completed so many tasks, and the Home Affairs Office was constantly giving him points.

There are still more than 1800 points needed to reach the redemption and sharing function, so there is still a long way to go.

Establishing a community affairs agency in Sham Shui Po specifically to represent ordinary people in court was definitely the best decision he ever made. Although it doesn't generate income, it indirectly brings him support, feedback, and points.

Even so, it's not much better than that useless newspaper next door.

Mong Kok

Tony's Mahjong Parlor
The venue had already asked everyone to leave today. Tony and his underlings were present, along with the gang members Tony had invited to maintain order, and the older generation of the gang. Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere was incredibly somber.

Tony played mahjong alone, quietly waiting for Ahua to arrive.

Everyone waited silently for half an hour, and then Ahua arrived alone. Tony knew it was Ahua as soon as he heard the door open.

He didn't get up to greet her, but instead glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, pretending not to see her.

Ah Hua first glanced at the gang leader, then walked up to Tony and directly asked him for the man.

“I will teach Fly what he needs to know. There’s no need for outsiders to lecture him. I will help him pay off any losses he may have suffered. Now, bring him out.”

Tony, who was playing with mahjong, became furious upon hearing Ahua's words and shoved the mahjong set over.

He shoved Ahua hard behind him.

"Can you even afford to pay me back?!"
