Hong Kong Film: Jimmy? Please call me Councillor Li

Chapter 363 Avoid its edge
Based on his investigations over the years, the person behind the Red Cross is very likely the British.

It's highly likely that the Red Cross is an international organization with a high reputation worldwide, and one of the forces behind the Red Cross is the British.

Those who support the Hong Kong Red Cross seem to be from this same faction.

This group is not simple, especially in recent years with such a tense situation. Their activities within the Red Cross have become increasingly significant, and no one knows what they are up to.

That's why Shao Daheng subtly reminded Li Jiayuan not to provoke those people for the time being.

Shao Daheng's words served as a wake-up call for Li Jiayuan, prompting him to think even deeper.

In the office, Li Jiayuan called Fang Ting over.

"Fang Ting, just come up with a reason to politely decline the Red Cross's invitation. Say it nicely and try not to leave any leverage against you."

As Shao Daheng said, he doesn't want to offend the British yet, since they haven't completely broken ties and he, the big fish, is still in the diving stage.

It's not a good thing to confront them so early.

However, he couldn't just stand by and watch these people do whatever they wanted. Their wolfish ambitions were obvious; they wanted to control the entire charity sector in Hong Kong, and their goal was probably more than just to amass wealth.

They probably still want to control public opinion pressure, and they seem to have succeeded in doing so.

Besides the Red Cross, what other charitable organizations exist in Hong Kong?

The neighbors now only know about the Red Cross. The people of the Red Cross have now become complete representatives of charity and are also a very influential group.

It's hard to imagine what the consequences would be if these people said or did something in the name of the Red Cross at some critical moment.

Li Jiayuan cursed inwardly.

Damn it, these idiots, they can't stop making a fuss, they're so infuriating.

If you want to deal with them, you have to be careful; at least you can't openly confront them.

We need to find a way to weaken the power of the Red Cross and the Co-Government Association through the Five Elements. Once we have reduced their influence, when the time is right, we can launch a major attack to send them to their graves.

However, at this stage, it's best not to break ties with them. The main approach should be for each of us to do our own thing.

Li Jiayuan sent a reply, which shocked all sectors of Hong Kong society.

The main reason for the news going viral was the news of Li Jiayuan supporting disaster relief. In the past two days, he has not only gone to one place, but has also visited every place where the Home Charity is located.

Wherever he went, he always had reporters accompany him, take photos, and make news for the newspapers.

In just one day, the news of Li Jiayuan, the group's boss, a man surrounded by countless halos, appearing at the rescue site has captured the attention of the news media.

Incidentally, the news of Li Jiayuan establishing the Jiayuan Charity has also become the hottest news topic.

An ice room in Wong Tai Sin

Holding a newspaper, I savored the double-skin milk while enjoying the air conditioning.

The ice room wasn't very big, but it was quite crowded.

"Wow, Li Jiayuan personally went to the disaster relief site to participate in the rescue. Such a big boss, doing this kind of thing."

"No, no, let me see. There really are even photos."

One stone stirs up a thousand ripples; newspapers spread one after another, and the once quiet and silent ice room seemed to be injected with vitality.

This matter sparked a heated discussion.

"Who says rich people don't do good deeds? I see that Brother Yuan has been doing charity all along."

"Hey, I saw the news too. I heard there were landslides in several places and people died. It's thanks to people like Yuan that our lives aren't too bad."

Most of the people in the ice room nodded in agreement.

When these ordinary people mention Li Jiayuan, they don't think of his business achievements or how outstanding he is. Nor do they think of the various rumors and gossip surrounding him.

It is the things he did that they remember and that made him speak out for them.

From the establishment of the community property management company, which protected the vendors who were bullied, to Yau Ma Tei now being hailed as the last piece of pure land on Hong Kong Island.

Then there's Li Jiayuan's efforts to exonerate the underprivileged and his confrontation with the Chung family, a wealthy family in Hong Kong.

They also established a free law firm in Sham Shui Po to provide legal aid to the poor who cannot afford to litigate.

In order to amend the existing irregularities in Hong Kong Island, one person forced the Welfare Bureau to amend the regulations.

The information age may lack memory, but the human brain will never forget.

A person may not even remember what they did, but those who truly benefited from it often remember it for a lifetime.

Like Li Jiayuan, he only thought that the approval rating was just a series of rewards from the system.

In fact, this support was the most sincere and heartfelt endorsement he received when he was working for the people of Hong Kong Island.

Along the way, he has indeed done many great things that he himself did not realize, things that have truly changed many people.

Therefore, he was able to gain the support of the people not only because of the system, but also because he was genuinely working for the welfare of society and the people at the bottom of society, and doing practical things for them.

However, there are always some people in this world who are disappointing.

"Tch, you guys actually believe that? I bet the next step is to start fundraising. Aren't all these charities the same? They trick us into donating money, and in the end, we don't even know where the money goes."

"In my opinion, this is just a publicity stunt to gain fame."

The speaker was a well-dressed young man in a suit and tie.

He sat in the crowd, his disdainful expression making him seem so out of place.

There will never be a shortage of self-satisfied young people in this world who think they are the only ones who are sober when everyone else is drunk.

These people are often somewhat educated, arrogant, have their own set of views on everything, and are stubborn.

For example, this is the case with young people today.

His words drew everyone's attention, including several elderly people who glared at him angrily.

In the hearts of these elderly people, those who truly do good deeds should not be slandered, nor should they be questioned by these people.

"Young man, don't go too far with your words. Does Li Jiayuan need these kinds of things to gain fame? Why didn't you say anything when he started his company to protect the neighborhood? Why didn't you say anything when he started his non-profit organization?"

"Does someone really think that just because they're dressed up and look respectable, they're smarter than everyone else?"

The young man was so embarrassed by the rebuttal that he blushed and retorted hastily.

"Maybe it's to make money."

This statement only drew more laughter. This time, even the highly educated person didn't need to argue; even the old man could say a few words.

"Are you out of your mind? How much money can you make from charity? Jiayuan Group is worth billions. Do you think they need your small donation? Do you really think they're like those charitable organizations?"

Seeing that so many people were refuting him, and that he couldn't give a coherent explanation, the young man ran away in a huff, his face flushed.

at the same time
Red Cross Office

Huang Wei received a reply from the Home Charity.

A deathly silence fell over the office.
