Hong Kong Film: Jimmy? Please call me Councillor Li

Chapter 301 Bribing the Foreigners, Election Preparations

“No problem. I myself come from the Wo Luen Shing triad, so I’m familiar with how the triads operate and the people inside.”

Are you still involved in the club?

"Yes, I'll be going to Xinji next month to find out about their situation."

"Oh"

If someone keeps switching roles like this, then Shi Liang is definitely not a core member; he's probably just a low-level member in the gang.

This kid must have connections; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to jump so many ranks after going back. These kinds of undercover missions are for people with backgrounds.

That's a gilded trial; with these credentials, you can get promoted, earn a raise, and win the heart of a beautiful and wealthy woman. Let's go!
With just a few simple sentences, Li Jiayuan had a clear understanding of Shi Liang's situation.

"I'll talk to the people at Xinji and ask them to arrange some safe work for you."

"Really? Thank you, Mr. Li."

Shi Liang was overjoyed and quickly stood up to bow to Li Jiayuan.

Being an undercover agent is risky. If you get caught, you'll either lose an arm or a leg or your life. Even if you don't get caught, sometimes you still have to go into gang wars with your boss.

This undercover work is by no means easy; those undercover agents who manage to make a name for themselves are truly capable and ruthless individuals.

Undetected + Passing on intelligence + Escaping safely without arousing suspicion after passing on intelligence

Achieving these three things is by no means an easy task.

If you have powerful connections to protect you when you're working undercover, you'll definitely have an easier time and be much safer.

Imagine if one day it's revealed that he's an undercover agent. If his boss wants to take action against him, he'll definitely consult with this top agent first, instead of acting directly. That way, there will be room for negotiation.

At least there was no danger to his life, which is why Shi Liang was so excited when he heard that Li Jiayuan was going to protect him.

Peninsula Hotel

"Mr. Li, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Henry, the supervisor of the election commission."

“Mr. Henry, this is my good friend, Mr. Li Jiayuan, whom I told you about before.”

Box 506
Same spot, same people.

This time, however, the main characters have changed. The person who sat here negotiating with Li Jiayuan last time has become the one who made the connection.

This time, however, Li Jiayuan sought help from a higher-ranking official.

"Hello, Henry, Mr. Guan Ming."

Li Jiayuan shook hands with the two men with neither arrogance nor servility, and then thanked Ma Ming. This time, he was running for a legislator, and frankly, the three people who helped him nominate last time were not qualified enough.

So he asked Ma Ming to help him find connections to get him nominated.

Not only him, but three other people from the Home Group are also running for local councilor. These also need to be arranged, so we need to find someone with connections to handle it all at once.

It can save a lot of trouble.

But he didn't expect that Ma Ming would actually use his connections to reach the election commission's supervisor. No wonder this guy had assured him last time that he could handle it.

It turns out this guy really does have connections.

The committee only has one supervisor, who is an absolute top executive within the committee. With such a powerful backer, it's no wonder Ma Ming dares to collect money outside.

Even the money he received might not have been what he wanted himself.

Li Jiayuan took the initiative to make overtures, but this foreigner named Henry was clearly not giving him any face and didn't even shake hands.

Li Jiayuan wasn't angry about this. He had dealt with so many foreigners and had figured out some tricks for dealing with them.

These foreigners treat Hong Kong people with the same contempt and arrogance, regardless of their identity.

But if you're willing to give them something in return, the situation is quite different. If you give me money, then we're friends.

If we're friends, I'll definitely handle your matter perfectly.

These foreigners really do their jobs after taking the money. "Mr. Henry, I've long heard that you're always willing to help others. This time, I'd like to participate in this Legislative Yuan election so that I can contribute my share to Hong Kong Island in the future."

And some of my friends, they are all enthusiastic people, ready to contribute their share to the development of Hong Kong Island.”

This is a list of me and my friends.
Li Jiayuan pushed an A4 sheet of paper in front of the foreigner, Henry.

Henry glanced briefly at the documents on those pages with his golden eyes, then answered in English:

The general meaning is as follows:

"This list is very good, but why should I help you?"

Speaking of Li Jiayuan, you know the main event is about to begin: this foreigner is asking for benefits.

"Hey, we're friends."

"I wonder if Mr. Henry has ever enjoyed taking a dip in the ocean? I noticed that Henry has a red glow on his forehead, so he must be having a lot of good fortune lately."

"I happen to have a friend who owns a casino in Macau. Mr. Henry, you get a 20% discount whenever you gamble there. Last time I took a friend there, and we made a small fortune of ten million. I think you, Mr. Henry, are probably just as good."

"Oh, Mr. Ma feels the same way. He absolutely has to go, otherwise he'll be disrespecting me."

The three people present were all shrewd and could easily understand the true meaning behind those words.

Henry the foreigner: As everyone knows, I'm not a very sociable person, but he's given me just too much!!
Ten million!

He couldn't earn ten million in ten years of salary. Before, Ma Ming said that Li Jiayuan was rich and powerful, but he didn't believe it.

Oh dear, how rude of me!

Even their method of rewarding others is so sophisticated—bringing money out of the casino, who can investigate?
Everyone was shocked to learn that Li Jiayuan had such connections, even able to control the casino!
That's amazing! Such a cautious and secure partner is truly admirable.

"Oh, my friend, don't worry, I'll definitely handle this matter very well for you."

“Mr. Li, what about me? Do I look like I can win a lot of money?”

"I think Mr. Ma, you're lucky enough to win that amount."

Li Jiayuan held up four fingers, a number he had come up with after careful consideration, and this was also what he thought.

Ma Ming's heart skipped a beat with excitement as he raised his glass.

"Come on, Mr. Li, let me drink to our friendship."

"Respect for friendship."

The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves immensely, and Li Jiayuan was eventually helped out by Lin Liangshui, completely drunk.

because
He regained his senses once he stepped outside the gate.

"Brother Yuan, you're not drunk!!"

Li Jiayuan rolled his eyes.

"Drunk? You haven't heard Gao Jin and the others tell the story of me drinking a whole case of Moutai by myself, have you?"

"Stop talking nonsense and drive back quickly. My wife is waiting for me at home."

Since Huang Lei became pregnant, Li Jiayuan has not let her go to work and has allowed her to stay at home and rest.

When you have time, have Ruan Mei accompany you to do prenatal education.

Security has been fully activated, with three female bodyguards and at least 20 undercover agents following him wherever he goes.

Not even a fly's leg can get close.

Although it may seem a bit extreme, it's necessary for safety.

"Leilei, look what I brought back for you!"

Li Jiayuan took out his key and opened the door. Five pairs of eyes were staring at him from inside the room, and his heart skipped a beat.

Can someone tell me what's going on?
