Hong Kong Film: Jimmy? Please call me Councillor Li

Chapter 329 Li Jiayuan elected as a legislator
More and more neighbors gathered.

Jian Aowei looked back at the banners and signs in shock, finally understanding the true meaning behind Li Jiayuan giving him these things.

An hour later, Jian Aowei was surrounded by enthusiastic local residents, and he finally realized the terrifying influence Li Jiayuan had in Wong Tai Sin.

But he didn't understand why Li Jiayuan, who was just a businessman, had such a high reputation in a place like Yau Ma Tei.

It's astonishing that just by using his name to campaign, he can gain so much support from the neighborhood; none of these people are actually after his eggs.

Everyone is only concerned with the names Jiayuan Group and Li Jiayuan.

His banner read "Legal Counsel of Jiayuan Group," so these people naturally assumed he was a member of Jiayuan Group.

So people spontaneously came to watch the excitement and recognize the people.

Jian Aowei dared not imagine. Although he could not see the vote count, he could roughly estimate that he had probably won at least five thousand votes on the first day.

This is only the first day. As time goes by, Uncle Piao's influence will continue to grow.

More and more are emerging, and if this trend continues...

Who can compete with him as a legislator in the Wong Tai Sin area?!

Thinking of this, Jian Aowei took a deep breath and put on a smile.

Clap your hands and hold a megaphone.

"Hello grandma, I'm also Yuan Ge's friend."

"Yeah"

What does saving face matter? We'll worry about that after I get elected.

The election period is half a month.

To be precise, it lasts for 14 days, with the election of Legislative Council members taking place first, followed by the election of District Council members.

In the past two weeks, Li Jiayuan and Jiayuan Group have been vigorously promoting themselves to garner votes.

They used various channels, such as mobilizing parents in schools, to promote the scheme extensively in schools under the Jiayuan Group.

Most of the students' parents were overjoyed when they learned of this news and organized themselves to vote for the candidates promoted by the Jiayuan Group.

As for public media, Li Jiayuan chose to use newspapers, news outlets, and other publicity channels to promote his candidate, with Jian Aowei also among the publicists.

It was precisely because of Li Jiayuan and the public recognition from the company's media that Jian Aowei was able to leave Piaoshu far behind in the election, giving several people in the same district a real blow.

Why do I say that? Other candidates received very few votes, while Jian Aowei's side had a long queue of voters every day.

This almost crushed the candidates in the same district.

As the first open election for Legislative Council members, this event is arguably the most important and sensational news in Hong Kong Island, with countless news media vying to report on it every day.

The most popular candidate is undoubtedly Li Jiayuan.

News media and even his workplace categorized him as the "Lijiayuan Region".

Any report about him will definitely generate traffic.

We are now at the Yau Ma Tei polling station. Wow, look at the huge crowd! It's easy to see how enthusiastic our residents are this time.

Let's do some random interviews now.

In Li Jiayuan's office, a live broadcast was playing, and reporters were conducting interviews on site with microphones.

Hello, sir, which candidate do you intend to vote for this time?

[Of course I'm voting for our Yuan Ge! Hey, you don't even know? I have two votes!]

Under the voting rules on Hong Kong Island, some eligible voters are entitled to two voting opportunities.
I interviewed several middle-aged men like this, and without exception, they all came to vote for Li Jiayuan. Even the female reporter who was interviewing them was stunned.

It was a rare sight to see most of the people at the scene voting for Li Jiayuan alone.

However, during the last district council election, Lee Ka-yuen was extremely popular, and now, a year later, the trend is even stronger.

The reporter also took the opportunity to shower Li Jiayuan with a series of compliments during the interview.

"These reporters."

Li Jiayuan turned off the TV, feeling both amused and exasperated. The neighbors were too enthusiastic; what could he do? "Brother Yuan, I've found out where that group of people you asked me to investigate are."

"Yeah."

Li Jiayuan sat up straight in his chair, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Some time ago, based on the clues given by the system, he asked Gao Jin and the others to investigate the whereabouts of Zhang Ziqiang's gang, observe their movements, and prepare to take action against the Cheung Kong Group at any time.

"Don't alert them or disturb them. Just keep an eye on them."

"Yes"

Half a month is neither a long nor a short time; it passes quickly.

Voting on Hong Kong Island has completely ended, and now it's time to count the votes.

We should have the results in about a day or two.

Three days later, Li Jiayuan's side received the news first.

The message was sent by Jian Aowei. The Jian family is indeed a prestigious family; they have their own special channels.

Jian Aowei sounded excited and thrilled on the phone.

"Brother Yuan, the list is out. You and I are both on the list, and five of my friends have also been selected. Now we're all on the same side."

"Yeah!"

Upon hearing this news, Li Jiayuan was still incredibly shocked. It seemed he had underestimated Jian Aowei.

In such a short time, he managed to win over five people who were willing to join their neutral faction.

Including the three people he had already negotiated with.

"One person"

Li Jiayuan gasped in surprise; there were so many people.

He himself hadn't expected such an unexpected surprise.

These 10 people are a force to be reckoned with, even in the Legislative Council. Their faction reached its peak as soon as it was formed.

He originally thought that if he and Jian Aowei were included, there would be five people, which would be good enough.

Who knew that Jian Aowei would be so capable, managing to bring five people over without saying a word.

According to him, these five people were all people cultivated by the Jian family in the past, and the Jian family also helped them behind the scenes in this legislative election.

It is absolutely trustworthy.

Suddenly, Li Jiayuan felt a little sorry for Jian Aowei. This guy probably didn't know that he really thought he was an absolutely neutral being.

Little did they know, there were factions on his side as well.

It's just that they don't belong to the local faction here. Well, it doesn't really matter. As long as Jian Aowei's ideals remain unchanged, they will always be on the same side.

Isn't Jian Aowei's central idea simply to make Hong Kong Island a better place?

That was also his goal, so there was no conflict between them, and he could even help Jian Aowei in the future.

Five years later, a major purge will inevitably occur, and he can use this time to accumulate strength and take down anyone around him who can be rescued.

The announcement of the list of elected legislators immediately became a hot topic in both the political and business circles of Hong Kong Island.

Normally, we wouldn't publish the election list in our news, although these aren't exactly secrets.

People with connections usually get the news, while those without connections simply don't pay attention.

However, one person did live up to expectations and made it onto mainstream television news media.

There was no way around it; the TV station insisted on interviewing Li Jiayuan, and of course he wouldn't let such a good publicity opportunity slip by.

Causeway Bay

"Come on, Brother Nan, I wish you all the best in the future. The whole Causeway Bay area will depend on you from now on."
