Hong Kong Film: Jimmy? Please call me Councillor Li

Chapter 304 The Birth of Anti-Cancer Drugs

"Hello, hello, Mr. Ma."

“Yes, Mr. Li.”

Ma Ming followed Fang Ting through the door, his gaze sweeping over the other people in the office.

Li Jiayuan gave the instructions.

"You all get out."

"Yes"

Only two people remained in the office.

Ma Ming couldn't wait to speak.

"Mr. Li, there's been a slight mishap regarding your nomination, perhaps..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Ming felt a powerful and oppressive gaze fall on him. Li Jiayuan elegantly sipped his freshly brewed tea, but the gloom on his face was palpable.

Like the calm before a storm, Ma Ming sensed something and quickly spoke up to clear up the misunderstanding.

"Well, Mr. Li, have you had any contact with the election committee before? According to the usual procedure, the nomination list is submitted directly to the chairman, who will personally review it."

"But this time, regarding your name on the list, before it was submitted, Vice Chairman Chen Jia'an took the list away, crossed out your name, and then returned it."

"so."

"So nobody dares to nominate me, right?"

The reason is actually quite simple: the vice-chairman personally intervened to sabotage him, and the other members of the committee were hesitant to help him in this matter for fear of causing further trouble.

good, very good.

Li Jiayuan squeezed the disposable cup into a ball with his hand.

Sitting opposite him, Ma Ming could clearly sense the outburst of emotion, and he hesitated to speak.

He was also frustrated; that was four million. Didn't he want it?

Who knows how Li Jiayuan offended the vice-chairman? In the committee, besides the chairman, only the two vice-chairmen have the most power.

The vice-chairman's personal intervention is a warning to everyone.

In fact, it's quite common for people to take money to do things during elections; it's perfectly normal.

It's practically an unwritten rule internally; unless there are special circumstances, no one would deliberately break it.

Li Jiayuan's situation clearly indicates that he has offended someone, and the higher-ups do not want him to be promoted.

"Mr. Ma, are you familiar with Zhao Fangguo?"

"Zhao Fangguo!"

Li Jiayuan racked his brains but couldn't think of anyone he had offended. The only possible person was Zhao Fangguo from the election committee, who had invited him to dinner a couple of days ago.

He rejected Zhao Fangguo's suggestion to take sides, so they blocked themselves from being nominated.

Ma Ming instantly understood everything: Zhao Fangguo was one of Chen Jia'an's men.

“Mr. Li, given this situation, if you still want to be nominated, there is only one way to go.”

"Expand and tell me."

Li Jiayuan pushed a Jockey Club prize ticket in front of Ma Ming, who excitedly covered it with his palm and quietly put it back in his pocket.

"Besides Zhao Fangguo, the committee also has a vice-chairman, who is also a foreigner. His name is Hunter. He was recommended by Dai Ying, but he has some political conflicts with Zhao Fangguo."
If this person is willing to help you, perhaps the nomination process can continue; otherwise…

Li Jiayuan understood.

"Do you have a way to get in touch with this person?"

Ma Ming shook his head, seemingly feeling somewhat guilty.

"No, although Hunter has a conflict with Zhao Fangguo, they are in the same camp. I feel that the chances of this are not very high."

After listening, Li Jiayuan lowered his head and remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.

"Alright, I have a general understanding of the situation. I'll handle it. Mr. Ma, please go back and wait for news." "Okay?"

Ma Ming left dejectedly. He had taken the money, but hadn't accomplished the task, so he was somewhat embarrassed.

After Ma Ming left, Li Jiayuan threw the paper cup into the trash can and rubbed his temples.

"Zhao Fangguo! Chen Jia'an!"

With the position of legislator within reach, it's impossible not to be angry that someone is trying to trip him up; he's spent a fortune on it.

Henry and Mamin don't count; since the deal didn't go through, they wouldn't receive their money.

However, there are many people who signed the petition, and he bribed each of them with 300,000 yuan, so he can't get that money back.

The money issue is a minor problem; the real challenge is that there's a huge obstacle in his path. If he doesn't resolve it, even if he gets another chance to run for office next year, he still won't be able to get through it.

Li Jiayuan's eyes flashed with a cold light. "Two bad apples, I'll remember you for now."

The only thing we can do is try to find connections and see if we can get in touch with that Hunter and ask him for help. He's been operating in Hong Kong for so long, he can't possibly have no useful connections.

Election Commission, Vice-Chair's Office

Zhao Fangguo, Chen Jia'an, and Liao Kangyong, who met with Li Jiayuan with Zhao Fangguo that day, sat around the coffee table.

The atmosphere was cheerful, but the laughter was jarring.

“That Li Jiayuan is ungrateful. We let him follow us because of his reputation in the business world. He really thinks he’s something special.”

"Yes, they want to go into politics, but they don't even know their own limitations. They really think they're someone important."

Zhao Fangguo gulped down his tea angrily, as if he wanted to vent all the anger he had suffered two days ago.

Two days ago, the two directors personally invited Li Jiayuan to join their team. This is an honor that few people have, and they personally went out of their way for him.

But this guy, relying on his status, didn't take them seriously at all.

They've never been treated like this before, and they still want to compete for seats in the Legislative Yuan. They just won't let you pass the vote, so what can you do?

Chen Jia'an glanced at his two subordinates and calmly brewed tea.

"Don't act rashly. The higher-ups value Li Jiayuan's connections and influence in the business world. Give him a warning this time, and then you can go and find Li Jiayuan again in a few days."

"Be nicer to them and try to win them over to our side. This time, we should be set for sure, if he still wants to run for councilor."

Chen Jia'an, as the leader, had different views from Zhao Fangguo, the two idiots. He wanted results, and winning over a business tycoon would be a powerful boost to their future plans.

This time, blocking Li Jiayuan is just a small trick.

Although they were very dissatisfied, Zhao Fangguo and his companion nodded. They knew the importance of Li Jiayuan's identity and that it wasn't something they could do casually.

He gave a reluctant reply.

"understood!"

-

Li Jiayuan tried to find connections, but it was unclear whether he didn't want to get involved or genuinely didn't have any useful connections.

I really can't find any usable relationships.

A loud bang echoed in his mind, and Li Jiayuan suddenly stood up.

No, is this a surprise?
He glanced at the rewards, then focused his attention on the third one, gritting his teeth.
