Hong Kong Film: Jimmy? Please call me Councillor Li

Chapter 333 Deputy Commander, Double-Agent Senior Agent Li Jiayuan
"Cemetery?"

"Why did you invite me here?"

Li Jiayuan walked along the narrow path leading into the cemetery from the main gate, observing everything around him.

Curious, I noticed that Mao Yang hadn't said anything on the phone, only vaguely suggesting that I come from Hong Kong Island and that we meet at the cemetery.

It looks strange no matter how you look at it.

As for this cemetery, it's even stranger; there isn't even a sign outside the security booth at the main entrance.

The tombstones here look quite neat and tidy, as if people are paying their respects to them every day.

Do people in mainland cemeteries offer incense to these graves every day?

They wouldn't do that on Hong Kong Island, since it's a cemetery and people wouldn't offer incense and worship there every day.

At least cemeteries don't offer this service, but if you're willing to pay, everything is negotiable.

After turning two corners, Li Jiayuan met Mao Yang, who was waiting for him by the roadside.

Mao Yang also met with Li Jiayuan immediately.

They came over to greet them.

"Comrade Li Jiayuan, I'm sorry to have asked you to meet here."

"It's nothing. Why did you call me up so urgently? Is something wrong?"

"No, let's talk as we walk."

Ten minutes later, Mao Yang led Li Jiayuan to a secluded little roundabout deep inside the cemetery. The environment inside was completely different from the outside, with far fewer tombstones, only a handful.

The environment was quiet and peaceful. In a nearby pavilion, Li Jiayuan also saw two strangers.

As he passed by two tombstones, he caught a glimpse of the names on two of them and was stunned.

Ye Ting
Ye Ying
He stood there, gazing at the two tombstones, and asked Mao Yang a question.

"here it is"

Mao Yang was surprised to see Li Jiayuan stop in front of the two tombstones. Did Li Jiayuan know about the history of the battles on the mainland while he was in Hong Kong?

Do you know them?

"I know, the two generals from the Guangfu region, but what about those outside?"

“That’s right, those tombstones outside are for our fallen warriors.”

"No wonder there are so many namesless people."

Two people walked over from the pavilion, each holding a large bunch of incense sticks, and nodded naturally with a lighter.

“Here, incense is offered to every soldier morning and evening. Come, help us put the incense together.”

The three of them quickly divided up the incense sticks, each taking a handful, and then sat down in the pavilion.

"The first reason I invited you here today is for secrecy, and the second is to tell you some good news here, in front of so many ancestors."

Mao Yang stood next to Li Jiayuan.

"Let me introduce you. This is Zhang Gang, a special envoy from Beijing. We invited you here today to tell you some good news."

"Here, take a look at this."

Zhang Gang took out a notebook, which Li Jiayuan took with suspicion and opened.

Upon seeing the first line of text at the top, he stared blankly at it as if he were looking at a novel imported product, filled with curiosity and doubt.

The first line of this booklet, written in large red letters, reads "Letter of Appointment".

Mao Yang and Zhang Gang gave a solemn military salute.

"Comrade Li Jiayuan, in view of your outstanding contributions to our Party during this period, the Chinese side has decided to appoint you as the deputy commander of the Hong Kong Island area, so that you can continue to make outstanding contributions to safeguarding our country's territory."

At this moment, Li Jiayuan, clutching the letter of appointment in his hand, was completely dumbfounded, utterly unable to comprehend what had happened. Mao Yang and Zhang Gang, seeing his reaction, simply assumed he was pleased.

I walked over and patted him on the shoulder. "When you get back today, write an RD application and submit it. From today onwards, we're comrades in the same trench."

"For now, we can only ask you to make do temporarily. When that day comes, the organization will make new arrangements for you."

Li Jiayuan finally realized, belatedly, that he had been promoted to a permanent position without even knowing it.
Yes, the letter of appointment has been issued, so he now has a formal status here!
No, it's still a bit hard to believe. It's not that he's being dramatic, but this step was completely unexpected!
He originally just wanted to do something more to increase his value; he didn't think about it that much.

As a result, they've now given him a legitimate military status; he's even a Legislative Council member on Hong Kong Island.

So what's going on now?

Pangolin, a top-tier double agent?
"Wait, wait, what you're saying is confusing me. What is the official rank of this deputy commander?"

"The current second-in-command on Hong Kong Island can mobilize all personnel except the commander-in-chief. I will give you the list later. This position is only temporary. I can tell you in advance that it will be in five years."

We will be making complete personnel changes and electing new senior management. We will be selecting from among you experienced senior staff, so you have absolutely nothing to worry about.

After listening to Zhang Gang's words, Li Jiayuan was shocked again. This so-called deputy commander actually had a lot of power, second only to the leader.

But he didn't seem to have done anything, did he?

No, that's just in his own eyes. From Mao Yang's perspective, he can spend tens of millions on charity in mainland China and also contribute more than 30 million to them as campaign funds to help with their campaigns.

Just these two points alone, no one among their underground workers on Hong Kong Island could have done that.

Thinking about it this way, his contribution was indeed significant.

If I think like that, I won't be sleepy anymore. He now has official status on both sides, especially on the mainland, where he's an official.

None of these are the most important things. The most important thing is that his official position has the potential for promotion, and this status may not be of much use now.

But later on, this identity will be worth a fortune.

That kind of thing, no amount of money can buy.

Li Jiayuan accepted the letter of appointment.

Due to time constraints, he didn't stay there for long. After visiting Li Ying in Da'an Village, he returned home.

Upon returning to Hong Kong Island, Lai Fu reported that the group they were monitoring had already scouted the location and were ready to make their move at any moment.

Upon receiving this news, Li Jiayuan immediately notified the Qiu family that Li Jun was unable to participate in this operation, so he had already identified a new target.

A goal that no one could have imagined.

Home-style dishes
Private rooms on the second floor
Bright, warm lighting and a Chinese-style décor set the scene. On the small wooden table, red wine and dishes gleamed beautifully under the light.

It emits a pleasant fragrance.

"Why aren't you coming?"

Li Jiayuan checked his watch for the third time, feeling frustrated. He was always the one who was deliberately late, but today he was the one who was late.

It's true what they say, fortunes change.

Just as he was about to get up and stretch, the door to the private room opened, and Zheng Youling hurriedly walked in, covered in sweat.

"I'm sorry, there was an unexpected situation at the company that made me late."

His sweaty and panting appearance didn't seem fake.

Li Jiayuan didn't take it to heart and instead poured Zheng Youling a glass of wine.

"Let's hold off for now, and then we can talk about selling the shares."

Zheng Youling almost spat out his drink as soon as he took a sip.

"Sell the shares!"
