Chapter 55 Dogs Sneaking into the Grove to Sneak a Horse
Mid-Levels, Keton Road, Zhou Family Mansion.
Chen Guanjiang leaned back on the sofa, looking bored, and said helplessly, "Sir Zhou, haven't you decided yet?"
"This is a big deal! Can you read it to me again..." Zhou Xinian always seemed so indecisive, as if worn down by the years.
"Uncle Jiu, it's done!"
Zhou Zhanqiao couldn't help but persuade him, "The military is already preparing to absorb the Criminal Investigation Department. This is my last chance. I will not sit idly by and wait for my doom!"
"Let me state my position now: whether you agree or not, I will proceed according to the plan. At worst, if it fails, I will be suspended from my post and investigated—consider it early retirement!"
"What's the explanation...are you really going to risk your life?"
Zhou Xinian did not expect his nephew to be so resolute; it seemed that he had pushed Zhou Zhanqiao too far.
Little did they know that even a starved camel is bigger than a horse, but a starved horse is not even as good as a dog.
"To be honest..."
Chen Guanjiang stared at Zhou Xinian and said, "Entertainment Hyena Weekly is going to take the lead. If Yin Xun Media wants to grow big in Hong Kong, it can't avoid Ma Jing. So whether you agree or not, I'm going to do it."
"Uncle Jiu, stop thinking about it."
Zhou Zhanqiao urged, "Two Zhou characters can't be written in one stroke. We're in the same boat. What I do is the same as what you do. Of course, you can also choose to expose us."
"You, you... sigh!"
Faced with the two men's joint attempt to force him to abdicate, Zhou Xinian sighed and said, "Tonight I will send someone to take you in, but you must promise me you won't cause any trouble!"
"Wait until tomorrow... Tomorrow you will act according to my signal. Without my signal, you must not act. This is the condition for my joining."
"Yes, Uncle Nine! I'll do as you say..."
"no problem."
“…………”
Chen Guanjiang chuckled, his eyes full of mockery.
This guy was cornered, yet he still hesitated so much before acting. He deserved to end up being disliked by everyone and having his milk company taken away.
However, if Zhou hadn't ended up in such a state, Chen Guanjiang wouldn't even have had the chance to get acquainted with Zhou Daheng, and how could they have such a pleasant working relationship now?
After discussing the details, they left the Zhou family mansion.
Zhou Zhanqiao hurriedly said, "I'll go back and call people now. You also need to make arrangements on your side. We'll sneak in together at seven o'clock tonight."
Chen Guanjiang refused, saying, "No, my men can go in. Your men will be in charge tomorrow."
"What do you mean?" Zhou Zhanqiao suddenly felt like he had been used and discarded.
"My people are better at covert filming!"
Chen Guanjiang explained, "The International Cup starts tomorrow, and celebrities and horse racing fans will flock to the venue. I'm worried that things might get out of control, so it would be best if your people could maintain order."
Love is a double-edged sword!
Hong Kong people who love horse racing pay special attention to every major event, but this can sometimes lead to irrational behavior.
It's fine to act on your own to maximize profits, but if it leads to riots and tragedy, then you've dug a hole for yourself to jump into.
Having the ability to cause trouble isn't enough; you also need the ability to resolve it!
"That's good! Don't let anything go wrong, Qianqi."
"Don't worry, I'm a professional at taking secret photos!"
“…………”
Whether it's secretly filming Chow Man-wai from a tree or sniping Chow Sin-nin on Victoria Peak, Chan Kwun-kong has never failed so far, and he believes he will never fail in this era.
The two immediately split their forces into two groups.
Back at the newspaper office, Chen Guanjiang convened a intensive training session for all former gossip team members, assessing their skills in candid photography. He ultimately selected 12 members, signed confidentiality agreements, and assigned them filming tasks.
It's okay if you don't dare to go; you can still get HK$1000 as hush money, but you'll have to spend 24 hours quietly at the newspaper office under the watchful eyes of bodyguards.
Thanks to the long-term heavy investment, none of the 12 selected members withdrew, and their eyes all gleamed with a desire for money, already showing the beginnings of paparazzi madness.
They rented two garbage trucks, acquired a bunch of garbage cans, disguised three of them as cleaners, and, guided by the mole, swaggered into the horse farm with the remaining personnel and equipment.
According to the distribution map provided by Zhou Xinian, they infiltrated the stables of the 12 horses in tomorrow's "International Cup" and the equipment was also hidden in the venue under the arrangement of the mole.
From this moment until the official start of the race tomorrow morning, they will have to eat, drink, and relieve themselves in the stables. Ordinary people would definitely not be able to endure it, but these paparazzi are extraordinary people.
Why are there two reporters in a small team?
Because they can take turns resting, there is always one person keeping watch to ensure that the target does not leave the sight for even a second.
From now until the start of the competition, there are less than 14 hours. The professional qualities honed over a long period of time ensure that each reporter will not need to be replaced and there will be absolutely no problems during this period.
Seeing the professionalism of these paparazzi, Zhou Xinian knew that he was not wronged at all for being photographed that day. He sighed and said, "Remember! You absolutely cannot move without my signal."
"Okay..." Chen Guanjiang replied nonchalantly.
Such explosive news is a once-in-a-century event. Everyone who takes the photo will receive HK$10,000. The dog will not give up until it gets meat.
In other words, the dogs have already been released, and Chen Guanjiang has no ability to bring them back.
Regardless of whether Zhou Xinian sends out any nonsense signals or not, this matter will not be subject to individual will.
Perhaps Zhou Xinian knew this was the case, but he deceived himself with the illusion that "the situation is still under control."
"Why…"
Zhou, a hero now past his prime, couldn't help but feel a little melancholy. He sighed and said, "Do you think I can still keep my position on the Jockey Club board after I've done this?"
"I think...there's no problem!"
Chan Kwun-kong lied, saying, "Since the Sing Tao Daily published those unsubstantiated reports in 70, hasn't the Hong Kong Jockey Club been investigating this matter for a long time? It's just that they did it too perfectly and didn't expose them."
"The other directors couldn't find anything, but you led the team to expose it. That's your greatest achievement as a director. If you're dismissed for that, how can you silence the public's criticism?"
"I hope so!"
As long as there is hope of retaining his position on the Jockey Club board, Zhou Xinian doesn't care whether he is being coerced.
This is already the worst-case scenario; it can't get any worse.
After saying goodbye to the two, he was on his way back.
Tang Yufei was already waiting downstairs at the apartment building. Chen Guanjiang stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Is the location correct? Are all the people arranged? Are all the tools brought?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Chen!"
Zhang Xingjue confidently stated, "We have three teams of people keeping a close watch on the target location in Mong Kok, along with the veterinary station. There are also people at various betting points, including teahouses, markets, and mahjong parlors. We're just waiting for the house to be emptied at midnight tomorrow!!"
"Okay! After settling this matter, I'll give you a suite."
"I will certainly not fail your trust!"
Seeing Zhang Xingjue's excited expression, Chen Guanjiang finally understood why the boss liked to make empty promises. It was a very effective way to get the workers excited without paying any price.
