Chapter 268 Inviting Lu Zhilian to Work (3000 words)

[Overall approval rating in Causeway Bay increased by 2.5%]

【Central overall support rate +1.6%】

[Appreciation of the overall approval rating at the Golden Bell Awards increased by 0.3%]

Overall approval rating in Tung Chung

[Urban Redevelopment Planning Map *1]

The first reward is still approval rating, but this time it's all in smaller regions.

It seems that ever since he achieved an incredible run of popularity and won the support rate across Hong Kong, subsequent support rates have only been limited to smaller groups.

Li Jiayuan felt that his approval rating seemed to have reached a bottleneck, and that the only way to improve it was through gradual accumulation.

The second reward is a map of urban redevelopment plans.

In his mind, Li Jiayuan examined the area to be renovated and was surprised to find that the renovation involved so many places.

It seems there are still a few areas where there is room for maneuver.

What a baby!
"Uncle Tian, ​​does Zhongtian Group own a piece of land in Huangshajiao? Are there any projects planned for development on that land?"

The map even marks the ownership of each piece of land, including one plot belonging to Zhongtian Group.

The location is actually quite large.

He had long wanted to get into real estate projects, but had never had the opportunity. Now the opportunity had come. He could acquire two plots of land, resell them, or use them for development.

Now he has a dock in Victoria Harbour, and all goods can be exported through the dock without relying on others. He has medical, port, film and television, and education industries. Now all that is missing is a real estate development group so that he can achieve full success.

The core base can then be established.

Huang Tian adjusted his glasses and looked at Li Jiayuan with surprise.

"You want that land?"

"You want to get into real estate?"

"Yes, I want to buy land and give it a try."

Upon hearing this, Huang Tian hesitated for a moment before saying:

“There’s been some news lately that the government is planning to build a school district nearby, not far from where you are. Many people in the real estate industry are watching closely, and many are speculating that it will be Huangjiang.”

If the location is indeed chosen in Huangjiang, your real estate development project will definitely be severely affected, and you may very well lose everything. Do you still want to proceed?

"Yes, I trust my judgment."

Li Jiayuan was unconcerned. He had confidence in the system. According to the system's report, the final development site would be Huangsha Reef. As long as he bought the land now, then...
There are a few other places we should also explore, hidden spots, so as not to be discovered as to be suspicious.

"Since you want it, I can sell it to you. We've been looking for a seller recently."

This is the truth. Because of that school district plan, Zhongtian is now in a hurry to sell off the Huangshajiao land and is worried about not being able to find a buyer.

Anyway, it's just a piece of land that's not very useful, so it's fine to sell it. Besides, it's family.

As for concerns, Huang Tian didn't consider them at all. He knew that since Li Jiayuan had decided to do it, he must have his reasons, and there was no point in him interfering.

Moreover, he trusted Li Jiayuan's judgment.

Mong Kok Shopping Centre
Because the complaints department wouldn't let it go, Lu Zhilian was given two days off.

His wife, Liao Meiling, was worried that he might have emotional problems, so she brought him to a shopping mall in Mong Kok.

"Did you see that just now? The security in Yau Ma Tei is really good."

"I wish we could live there too. I heard that houses there are very expensive now, and renting is expensive. Sigh."

Shopping is probably a girl's natural hobby. When Liao Meiling arrived at the mall, she was like a wild horse, holding Lu Zhilian's hand and looking around.

While strolling around, they chatted about what they had just seen and heard. They lived far away and didn't come here often. This was Liao Meiling's first time in Yau Ma Tei.

I had always heard on TV that Yau Ma Tei was very safe, but what I saw on TV and what I saw in real life were completely different.

I just passed by Yau Ma Tei. The streets there are clean, you can't even see any trash, not to mention the excellent public safety.

On the streets, you can only see the staff of the residential property management company. Even the parking attendants are wearing uniforms. It's a unique sight in Yau Ma Tei.

The petty thugs that are everywhere in other areas are nowhere to be found in Yau Ma Tei. Yau Ma Tei and Hong Kong Island really seem like two different places.

The area where Liao Meiling lives is quite chaotic, and seeing such a scene, one can only feel envy.

Lu Zhilian was in a much better mood after accompanying his wife shopping today. When the topic came up, he thought of the man he had met once before.

Lu Zhilian had met Li Jiayuan before in the case at the Welfare Department, although it was only once.

“Congressman Lee is indeed a remarkable person.”

"He deserves the most credit for Yau Ma Tei being in its current state. Without him, Temple Street would be even more chaotic than our area."

"Yeah, yeah."

Liao Meiling's eyes seemed to shine; she was a loyal fan of Li Jiayuan.

This happy look made Lu Zhilian a little jealous.

"Honey, you really like Li Jiayuan?"

Liao Meiling turned her head with a smile.

"Jealous?"

“You forgot that my parents live in Sham Shui Po. Last time my dad had a stroke, it was the property management staff of the neighborhood community who found him and took him to the hospital, and they even helped pay his medical expenses.”

"Oh"

Now that you mention it, Lu Zhilian remembered that there was such a thing. Okay.

Because of their high household expenses, the two of them basically just stay at home and go shopping without buying anything.

Liao Meiling slowed down in front of a clothing store, her eyes lingering on the beautiful clothes inside. Lu Zhilian simply stopped.

"Want to buy clothes? Let's go."

"Never mind, never mind. Your job isn't very stable right now, and you still have clothes at home. I just wanted to see what material those clothes were made of. These kinds of clothes aren't very practical except for being a bit expensive."

Liao Meiling pursed her lips and hurriedly pulled Lu Zhilian back, afraid that he would really go in to buy clothes. Lu Zhilian felt a mix of emotions. He hugged his wife; he understood everything, and he knew that his wife was only saying this because she was worried about spending money.

"Meiling, I'm sorry."

Liao Meiling pinched Lu Zhilian's waist.
"Let's go check out the third floor, we'll go there after we've looked around!!!"

"Honey, look behind you."

Suddenly, Liao Meiling, who was holding Lu Zhilian, had a loud bang in his ear. The decibel level was so high that Lu Zhilian almost went deaf.

Who is it that's reacting so strongly?

"Li Li...Li"

When Lu Zhilian turned his head, he was so nervous that he stammered.

Across from them, Li Jiayuan was with Lin Liangshui, carrying large and small bags, apparently also there to shop.

Lu Zhilian is not yet the future Director Lu; he is just a young man who has just entered the workforce and usually deals with insignificant minor officials.

He had only met a tycoon like Li Jiayuan once, so of course he would be nervous if he encountered him in real life.

Across from him, Li Jiayuan was also surprised. He had come to buy Ruan Mei a birthday present, but he didn't expect to run into Lu Zhilian.

That's a coincidence.
"We meet again, Investigator Lu Zhilian."

Li Jiayuan took the initiative to shake hands, and Lu Zhilian hesitated before extending his hand, somewhat surprised.

He never expected that such a big shot as Li Jiayuan would still remember him, a lowly policeman.

"Honey, you know Li Jiayuan? Why didn't you tell me?!"

Liao Meiling jumped up and down excitedly, whispering in Lu Zhilian's ear and urging him on.

"Introduce me! Introduce me quickly!!"

Lu Zhilian felt helpless; he had never felt so humiliated before.

"This...this is my wife, Liao Mei."

"Brother Yuan, hello...I...I'm your fan, can I get your autograph?"

Lu Zhilian: "."

Honey, I know you're excited to meet your idol, but can you please not be so hasty? You look so strange.

He quickly pulled the person back and offered an awkward explanation.

"My wife really likes you, Mr. Li, so she has some..."

Although Li Jiayuan was somewhat surprised, he remained very polite as he looked Liao Meiling over. This was Lu Zhilian's wife.

The deceased wife was quite different from what he had imagined. He had thought that someone as serious as Lu Zhilian would have a mature and stable wife.

But with that pink, girly dress, her pure and beautiful hair, and her lively personality, she doesn't look like a mature person at all.

They seem more like young and energetic students.

Seeing that Liao Meiling and Ruan Mei had similar figures, Li Jiayuan suddenly had an idea.

"Mrs. Lu, can you do me a favor?"

"I"

half an hour

In the most expensive luxury store in the mall, Lin Liangshui had two more bags hanging on his body, and he was covered in sweat.

Wow, so being an assistant requires arm strength? Looks like I'll have to work on it some more.

"Thank you for your help. I was just wondering what gift to buy for my wife."

"Brother Yuan, are you married?"

"That's it."

"Here you go, thank you Mrs. Lu for helping me choose clothes out of all your troubles."

Li Jiayuan took a piece of clothing from Lin Liangshui.

Liao Meiling was stunned for a moment, and dared not accept it.

"It's too expensive. This piece of clothing represents several months' wages for their family," Lu Zhilian quickly declined.

"Mr. Li, there's no need to be so polite. We didn't do anything, actually."

"I bought this for your wife, not for you."

As he spoke, Li Jiayuan handed the bag of clothes back to Liao Meiling. The once lively Liao Meiling became dull and sullen, seemingly embarrassed.

As for Lu Zhilian, he was rendered speechless by Li Jiayuan's words. He looked at his clothes and then at his wife.

Oh well, it's just a piece of clothing anyway. What's valuable to them is probably nothing to a business tycoon like Li Jiayuan.

Li Jiayuan wasn't in a hurry to leave, but chatted with Liao Meiling and the others.

Lu Zhilian, who had expected a generation gap, overheard Li Jiayuan discussing with his wife which market was cheaper for buying groceries, and even talking about selection techniques and tips.

He was stunned; this overturned his understanding of the rich. Liao Meiling, on the other hand, admired Li Jiayuan even more.

My idol is so experienced in life; he's nothing like those rich people on TV.

Although Li Jiayuan didn't know much about this, Ruan Mei was familiar with it. Sometimes the three of them would go grocery shopping together, and through this exposure, they all learned about it.

The conversation shifted from life to work. When Liao Meiling complained about Lu Zhilian's job, Li Jiayuan thought for a moment and offered her a helping hand.

"You can come work for our company. It's just a job; a different lifestyle would be better."

"I!"

Lu Zhilian's steps seemed to freeze, and he didn't react for a moment.

Li Jiayuan invited him to work; is this a dream?
Liao Meiling excitedly grabbed Li Jiayuan's hand, but realizing she had lost her composure, she quickly let go and asked nervously:
"Brother Yuan, are you serious?"
