Hong Kong Film: Jimmy? Please call me Councillor Li

Chapter 322 Buying Pancakes at the Door
Based on Jane Austen's performance in Cold War 2, it's clear that he has no factional affiliations and a very clean background.

He is not biased towards either side and will only make the right choice to protect Hong Kong Island.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have reacted so strongly when the Secretary for Justice, Raymond Lai, tried to win him over. At the time, he was disgusted but had no choice but to compromise.

If he doesn't continue watching, there's no guarantee that something beyond his control won't happen.

This shows that he was against the group represented by Lai Wing-lim.

Jian Aowei's behavior coincided perfectly with his central idea: he didn't want to take sides, and neither did Jian Aowei, so why not cooperate for a win-win situation?

Judging from the clips in Cold War 2, it's highly likely that Jane Austen ultimately used the same method.

Otherwise, Jian Aowei would not have been able to preserve his strength and bottom line in such a complex environment at that time.

Having understood this point, Li Jiayuan immediately sent someone to contact Jian Aowei, hoping to facilitate the cooperation.

“Mr. Jian Aowei, you also participated in this Legislative Council election.”

"Yes, Mr. Li is also on the list, I have already seen it."

"This steak is a bit overcooked. I prefer it medium-rare. I've always been like this since I was a child. Too tough is no good, and too rare is no good either. After thinking it over, I still think medium-rare steak is the best."

Jian Aowei looked extremely hungry. He immediately started eating after sitting down, using his knife and fork with great enthusiasm. Seeing how much he enjoyed his meal, Li Jiayuan also picked up his knife and fork.

"I also love eating medium-rare steak, not for any other reason than because it's convenient."

"Oh, really?"

A glint of light flashed in Jian Aowei's eyes as he slowly put a piece of meat into his mouth.

“I thought Mr. Li would also advise me to try well-done or rare steak, since many of my friends have advised me to do so before.”

"So why don't you try other flavors? Maybe there will be suitable options too."

"There's no need for that. Perhaps like you, I don't like trouble. I can't stand things that are too raw, and things that are too cooked are too old. I think the middle way is the best."

"It's good, but there will always be people trying to persuade you to try other flavors. Don't you get annoyed if this happens too often?"

"It's annoying, but what can I do?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jiayuan put down his knife and fork, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and spoke in a gentle and pleasant manner.

"I have a way to shut everyone up once and for all, but I don't know if you'd be willing to try it."

Jian Aowei's gaze darkened.

An hour later, Li Jiayuan and Jian Aowei walked out of the hotel door side by side.

Both of them had satisfied smiles on their faces.

At the very least, the two have reached a preliminary agreement on cooperation.

With the establishment of two new factions in the Legislative Council and District Councils, Jian Aowei will use his connections to recruit as many people as possible into these factions.

With the Jian family's connections, finding some allies shouldn't be a problem.

What Li Jiayuan needed to do was to win people over while helping Jian Aowei get elected as a legislator.

Chien Ao-wei's campaign venue is in Wong Tai Sin, where Lee Ka-yuen happens to be very influential, so helping Chien Ao-wei get elected is definitely not a problem.

Each got what they needed, and the deal was struck immediately.

Everything is ready; all that's left is for the election to begin.

In addition to Lee Ka-yuen running for Legislative Councilor, three other members of the Home Group are also running for District Councilor.

They are Wah-Di, Lam Liang-Shui, and Luk Chi-Lim.

Wah-Di has a strong public support base and is a company veteran, giving him an advantage in the election. As for Lam Leung-Shui, he also has a very good public support base in Sham Shui Po.

He opened a law firm in Sham Shui Po a long time ago, helping the poor with their cases.

Later, after joining the Home Group, he was in charge of the charitable affairs office there. He had a high reputation in Sham Shui Po and was also a member of the legal profession.

So the second spot went to him. As for the third, Lu Zhilian, although he had only recently joined the company, he had previously worked for the ICAC and was therefore part of the system, more familiar with its intricacies. Most importantly, he was from the education sector and was currently in charge of home-school education. Li Jiayuan intended to use his position to open a loophole in the education field.

Business, education, and legal professions

His strategy was to place his own people in all three companies.

—— Jiahao Mooncake Shop

It has now been renamed Lianxiang Mooncake Shop.

"As expected, it has been renamed."

Li Jiayuan stood at the entrance of the bakery, head held high, head bowed, recalling this scene in his mind.

If he remembered correctly.

The reason why Jiahaoyueyuan was renamed was because He Ma wanted the children living on Gan's side to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with their father, Uncle Da, this year.

Then He Ma used the condition of changing the shop's name to discuss with Yin Hong. They had agreed that if they changed the name, the children would come back for dinner during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

As a result, the Gan family changed their minds at the last minute.

This plot also reveals the truth behind Gan Taizu's younger brother's suicide by jumping off a building years ago.

This was a very significant turning point, and it was from here that Gan Taizu, this scumbag, began to be redeemed.

But now
Li Jiayuan sneered twice, "That scumbag still wants to clear his name? Screw you! Let this misunderstanding continue. As for the reunion dinner..."

He has plenty of ideas.

Li Jiayuan pushed open the door and walked into the bakery. All the employees were there today.

He Ma and A Yue were minding the shop at the front desk. A Yue was the first to spot Li Jiayuan, but there was another woman with her.

A very pretty girl, and a hint of displeasure flashed in Li Jiayuan's eyes.

In the original storyline, Lu Jiamei shouldn't have returned so soon. That wicked woman, all she does upon returning is frame Ayue; she's utterly despicable.

Throughout the entire series, what he was most dissatisfied with was Lu Jiamei's whitewashing; this woman was truly wicked.

She's a scheming, manipulative woman who betrays her own family and even schemes against her own mother.

Aunt Sa is greedy and selfish, but she's not as outrageous as him.

This woman is absolutely bizarre.

"Brother Yuan, you're here. Everything is ready."

"A box of egg waffles and a box of lotus seed paste mooncakes."

A-Yue took out all the gift boxes and placed them on the table. She opened them one by one for Li Jiayuan to check, and they were all the best mooncakes she had chosen.

"Wow, it smells so good."

“Auntie He knew you wanted them, and she picked them out one by one herself. She wouldn’t let me touch them.”

"Really? Then please thank Aunt He for me. By the way, where is Aunt He?"

"She's making pancakes inside. I'll go and call her over for you."

As A-Yue walked inside, Lu Jia-Mei, who had finally found an opportunity, took the initiative to talk to Li Jia-Yuan, revealing a sweet smile and admiring eyes.

"Hello, I am Aunt Sa's daughter. You are Mr. Li who helped my mother with her lawsuit last time. Thank you for helping my mother."

"Easy to do."

After saying that, Li Jiayuan looked inside.

I'm practically drooling inside. Damn, this green tea is too strong! And she's still pretending to be innocent. Only that idiot sweet potato ball could be fooled.
