Hong Kong variety show: Hung Hing, are you contributing to society?

Three days later, the typhoon passed through, and the sky over Hong Kong Island cleared up.

TVB broadcast a 15-minute special report during its prime-time morning, noon, and evening news slots, titled "A Promise in the Storm – Causeway Bay District Councillor Candidate Lam Yiu-tung's Typhoon Day".

The report begins with Wen Huixin and the photographer rushing to Causeway Bay in the wind and rain, recording their disheveled state on Russell Street, their chance encounter in a tea restaurant, their interview with Lin Yaodong, and the most shocking scene of the sewer unclogging.

In the footage, Lin Yaodong, with his trousers rolled up, stands in the sewage, working alongside workers to clear a clogged drain...

He was soaked to the bone, yet he handed the first cup of ginger tea to the worker...

He organized neighbors to pile up sandbags in the wind and rain to stop the floodwater from flowing into the shops on the street, and checked the safety of the elderly people's homes one by one...

The report concludes with Lin Yaodong's monologue in the rainy night: "The storm will pass, and the sky will always clear. The important thing is that when the storm comes, we are together."

The report caused a huge reaction throughout Hong Kong after it was broadcast.

The locals of Causeway Bay gathered in tea restaurants, herbal tea shops, and grocery stores, watching the news reports on television, each feeling a sense of pride.

"See that? That's me! I'm in the shot!" Ah Xin excitedly pointed at the TV, where there was a shot of him handing tools to Lin Yaodong.

"Ah Dong is truly exceptional; where can you find such a young man these days?" Uncle Fu remarked.

"I told you Ah Dong could do it!" Uncle Gen slammed his hand on the table.

Residents in other parts of Hong Kong Island also discussed the matter after seeing the report:

"This Lin Yaodong seems really different."

"Yes, those legislative candidates, which one of them doesn't give a speech in a suit and tie in an air-conditioned room? Who would actually go and unclog the drains?"

"My cousin lives in Causeway Bay, and he said that Lam Yiu-tung really did a lot of things for the neighborhood."

Seeing the topic explode in popularity, many media outlets, despite not being able to get an interview with Lin Yaodong, still rushed to report on it:

Lin Yaodong unclogs sewers #

This is true service to the people.

Causeway Bay Light#

If all legislators were like Lam Yiu-tung...

Chen Guozhong's campaign team panicked.

They originally planned to make a fuss about Lin Yaodong's triad background, but now public opinion has completely sided with Lin Yaodong.

They held an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures, but after thinking it over, they found they had no solution—should they attack Lin Yaodong for "putting on a show"? But he personally went out during the typhoon, soaked to the bone and with filthy hands. If this was just a show, the price would be too high.

More importantly, a neighbor took a photo of Chen Guozhong taking shelter in his mansion during the typhoon—he was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a glass of red wine, looking out at the wind and rain.

This photo was posted in newspapers by the media, forming a stark contrast with Lin Yaodong, who was covered in mud.

Chen Guozhong was so angry that he smashed the cup, but it was too late.

Big Boss B Boxing Gym.

A group of underlings were making a ruckus.

"No way, Dong Ge is in the news headlines again?"

"What's so strange about it? It's not the first time."

"Yeah, who is my Brother Dong? Getting on TV is a piece of cake for him."

"Where's my name? I went to help too..." a young man who had experienced it firsthand said excitedly.

At the same time, he was searching for his own image on the black and white television.

Soon, he found himself carrying the sandbags, though only on one side.

"Hey! See that?! That's me behind Dong Ge!!" he exclaimed excitedly, pointing to his reflection on the TV screen.

"Damn, how can I see clearly..."

"Yeah, I need to turn sideways..."

The young man immediately showed off his own dragon tattoo on his arm, "See that? It's exactly the same..."

"Huh? It really is."

"Holy crap, you're actually on TV?"

"You can get on TV for unclogging sewers?"

"Next time, I'll unclog the drains too..."

Their tone seemed teasing and joking, but their faces showed genuine envy.

The big boss on Bilibili was standing behind a group of underlings when he met Lin Yaodong and mentioned him, and heard Lin Yaodong thank him.

Although he hears his underlings thanking him every day, there's an element of flattery in their words.

Lin Yaodong was different; his sincere tone couldn't be fake. Most importantly, he expressed his gratitude during the interview and even appeared on television...

Big Brother B was so touched.

I don't know why, but my eyes are a little red... and wet...

Ah Dong... I knew I hadn't misjudged him...

...........

the other side.

Dongxing territory.

In his office, Crow watched as Lin Yaodong mentioned him on the black-and-white television, even thanking him...

"Wow wow wow~~ Brother Dong~~"

"I also want to thank you for getting me into the right path~~"

He cried loudly, tears streaming down his face.

"Big brother..." Long-haired man kept handing him tissues.

The crow snatched the tissue and immediately turned fierce, saying, "I'm telling you, we're respectable people now!"

"If I ever find out any of you dare to act like scoundrels towards the neighbors again, I'll beat you to a pulp!!"

"Yes, yes, boss, we changed it a long time ago..."

slap~

Longhair was thrown around in a big hole.

"How many times have I told you, call me manager!"

He Liansheng.

Jimmy also saw the news in his newly built "art film" sales department.

His first reaction was, "Brother Dong, how could you say that...aren't we supposed to keep our relationship a secret?"

"However... Brother Dong must have his reasons for doing this..."

"Brother Dong has helped me so much... and he even thanked me..."

"I want to become a man like Dong Ge..."

He wiped the moisture from the corner of his eyes.

Worth to talk about.

After discovering the large market for pirated DVDs in mainland China, he began to target "art films".

Imagine, in this day and age, where in mainland China have people ever seen men and women engaging in art on television?

What kind of impact would it have on people if something they do in their own room were suddenly broadcast on television?

It's guaranteed to sell out!

Pirated DVDs have already been produced by the studio and are being shipped to mainland China through established channels.

Moreover, corresponding disc players were also being produced and sold to mainland China.

Jimmy decided to expand and strengthen his piracy business, aiming for great success.

After watching the news, he turned off the TV and immediately went to the market to find DVDs.

Not all DVDs are worth pirated; they have to go through a selection process, with priority given to those with good reputations and box office success.

Hongshan Villa.

At Jiang Tiansheng's home.

He watched the news, swirled the red wine in his hand, and listened to Lin Yaodong's thanks. "Interesting..."

"It's A-Dong! He's on TV again!" Fang Ting's eyes lit up.

Even in front of her husband, she made no attempt to hide her infatuation with Lin Yaodong.

After all, he was acting on imperial orders to borrow Z.

Jiang Tiansheng smiled, seemingly in a good mood.

But upon closer inspection, the smile seems quite profound...
