Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong

Chapter 76 076【Good Luck for the Opening】

Seven o'clock in the morning.

Yuen Long, instant noodle factory.

Today is a big day for the opening of the factory. The whole factory is full of gongs and drums, decorated with lights and festoons, and the festive atmosphere can be felt from a long distance away.

Shi Zhijian originally wanted to hold a grand opening ceremony, but unfortunately lacked funds, so he had to make more than 20 banners, hang them outside the factory, and invite the most famous lion dance team in Yuen Long to build a small stage , and the lion dance performance will be performed at that time.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Sha Qiang, Da Dao Xiong, and Hu Xuyong took the lead to lead the team according to the procedure, and three or four hundred people stood at the gate of the factory to welcome the distinguished guests.

As for VIP invitations, Shi Zhijian directly invited Xu Shixun, the third son of the Xu family, Chief Inspector Lei Luo, Mr. Saipan from Standard Chartered Bank, Zhang Jiuding, the boss of Hong Yihai, and the eight major grain and oil merchants he had met with before.

For Shi Zhijian, sending invitation letters is a courtesy, but it is their freedom whether the guests are willing to show respect.

People from the surrounding villages heard that the factory opened today, and a large group of people came to watch the excitement.

Some old people were holding their grandchildren, and some women were holding their children. They all gathered around the factory, preparing to watch the lion dance performance later.

...

Inside the factory office.

"Ah Choo!"

Shi Zhijian took out a tissue paper from the table and wiped his nose.

Last night, he went to Macau to enjoy the sea breeze, and rushed back to the Yuen Long factory overnight to confront Jiang Kun, which directly infected him with the wind and cold.

At this moment, Shi Zhijian pinched his nose with the toilet paper uncomfortably, and his nose was stuffy, which made him very uncomfortable.

There was a knock on the door, but Sha Qiang walked in excitedly, holding a large bundle of fireworks for the opening ceremony in his arms.

"Ah Jian, everyone outside is ready, just waiting for you to go out and preside over the opening ceremony! By the way, this kind of fireworks is very difficult to buy in Hong Kong. With a bang, it looks super beautiful!"

Men are still teenagers until they die, especially when it comes to setting off firecrackers, they like to do it by themselves.

Silly Qiang is no exception. He likes to set off firecrackers since he was a child. Once he threw the firecrackers into the toilet where his father shitted, and his father collapsed.

But at that time, the family was poor, and Sha Qiang played Er Ti Jiao the most, as well as Sky Monkey. Now it is rare to hold such a large pile of fireworks and firecrackers, and he is so happy that he can hardly close his mouth from ear to ear.

"Are you still going to set off the fireworks yourself? Just let someone else do it!" Shi Zhijian didn't ask Hu Xuyong to tell everyone about Jiang Kun's coming to find fault last night, so Sha Qiang didn't know what happened last night at all.

"I don't worry if they do it, so many firecrackers are so dangerous! Besides, you also know that I like fireworks the most, my hands are very itchy, let me do it later!"

"It's up to you, but you have to be careful!"

Shi Zhijian threw the used toilet paper into the wastebasket. He took the pen from the pen holder casually and prepared to write on the white paper.

The pen was out of water, so he shook it, but still couldn't write, so he opened the ink bottle and sucked the ink, and asked Sha Qiang: "Are you really going to be a policeman in the future?"

Silly Qiang put down the fireworks and firecrackers he was holding, leaned close to Shi Zhijian and said with a smile: "This is my ideal! Being a policeman is very prestigious. You used to be a policeman. I don't know how much I envy you! But I also know that I am stupid. , and the family has no money, so I can only bury this wish in my heart!"

"It was Sister Yufeng who helped me. She not only gave me money to support me, but also told me, silly strong, you must work hard to pursue any wish you have, and don't leave any regrets! From that moment on, I decided that I was going to leave in the future. Lu, no matter how poor or stupid I am, I still want to be an excellent policeman!"

Shi Zhijian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed that Sha Qiang had been thoroughly brainwashed by the elder sister. He probably couldn't pull ten cows back.

"Siqiang, I respect your choice, but being a policeman is not that simple. In addition to using money to bribe the examiners, you also need to have your own skills, such as written tests, interviews, and physical fitness tests, etc. So you have to be mentally prepared. , in case you are not admitted, don't be sad, the door of my factory is always open for you!"

Seeing what Shi Zhijian said, Shaqiang mustered up his courage: "Actually, I came here to tell you..."

"Tell me what?" Shi Zhijian took out the ink-sucked pen from the bottle, and turned to look at Shaqiang.

Sha Qiang scratched his head: "I have been admitted to the Wong Chuk Hang Police Academy!"

Shi Zhijian shook his hand and almost knocked over the ink bottle: "What did you say?"

Shaqiang scratched his head: "I said, I was admitted to the police academy!"

Shi Zhijian was stunned for three seconds, "You are illiterate, how did you pass the written test?"

Sha Qiang: "There is someone who sells test papers, so I asked someone to copy them for me!"

"That's okay too?" Shi Zhijian's eyes widened.

Silly Qiang was very happy: "Yeah, I didn't expect it to be so easy to be a policeman! A Jian, did you spend money to buy test papers before?"

"I'm different from you, I wrote it myself!"

"Oh, you're still smart, Jian, I can only write my own name!"

"Don't talk too much, when will you report to the police academy?"

"I'll go tomorrow, so I can only help you until today!" Silly Qiang looked embarrassed, "Ajian, don't blame me, I can't continue to help you..."

"It's okay, as I said just now, I will respect your choice!"

"A Jian, you are so kind!" Shaqiang said happily, "Don't worry, if I really become a policeman in the future, I will definitely protect you and Sister Yufeng and prevent people from bullying you!"

After a pause, Shaqiang suddenly said: "Ajian, I actually know what happened last night. Those policemen came here to find fault and collect protection money. It's a pity that I'm nothing now, and I can't help you!"

Seeing Sha Qiang's remorseful face, Shi Zhijian couldn't help but be taken aback: "Who told you? Hu Xuyong?"

Shaqiang hurriedly shook his head like a rattle: "No, I accidentally heard it when I was peeing!"

Shi Zhijian rolled his eyes, "It's not easy to be a policeman! It doesn't mean that you have a big official position to be powerful enough! You can protect the people around you!"

Silly Qiang hurriedly said: "I don't care about that, anyway, if I become a policeman, I will definitely protect you and Sister Yufeng!"

Shi Zhijian nodded: "I have a heart! But even if you really become a policeman, you have to remember one thing."

"what's up?"

"Don't take black money!"

Shi Zhijian knew very well that the "ICAC" would be established in a few years, not to mention those small police officers, even a big tiger like Lei Luo would be wanted and run away.

Sha Qiang smiled: "I remember your words, if I really become a policeman, I will be a good and honest policeman, and I will never accept black money!" After a pause, "But what should I do if I don't have enough money? You also know that I have a grandma to raise, an old mother to raise, and a younger sister to raise...they spend a lot of money!"

"I'll give it to you!" Shi Zhijian didn't hesitate at all, "Just do your job well, the other thing is to read and write, and work hard to climb up! I will do my best to help you pave the way, you must be obedient!"

Silly Qiang froze for a moment: "Ajian, I don't understand what you said. Is it me as a policeman to help you, or are you helping me?"

Shi Zhijian smiled slightly, wrote the word "Pretty" on the white paper with a pen, and said, "I will help you now, and you will help me later!"

When Shi Zhijian finished speaking, he heard the sound of "crackling" firecrackers outside.

Silly Qiang was taken aback: "Which one fired the cannon first?"

A loud voice shouted outside: "Brother Jian, come out quickly! Pick up the guests!"
