Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

For Du Yongxiao, being promoted to police commissioner is not an earth-shattering event.

But for the Hong Kong police, it was a huge shock like a landslide and tsunami.

To Yongxiao was the first Chinese police commissioner, and this alone is enough to go down in history.

In addition, although Hong Kong belongs to the Chinese, the Chinese are third-class citizens in Hong Kong.

Now, To Yongxiao has been appointed as the Commissioner of Police and has firmly established himself as the first brother. He is also telling the people of Hong Kong that the Chinese have stood up! The rise of the Chinese is unstoppable!

Hong Kong Governor MacLehose's proposal to recommend To Yongxiao as Commissioner of Police was quickly passed within Hong Kong's senior leadership.

Originally, Police Commissioner Rosen was going to retire in three weeks. At that time, he would go straight to England with Du Yongxiao's recommendation letter and work as a security consultant for Phoenix Pharmaceuticals in England, enjoying a high salary of 3,000 pounds a month.

To Yongxiao doesn't like to be high-profile, and he doesn't like to appear in public. However, as the future leader of the Hong Kong Police Force, interviews are unavoidable.

Helpless, Du Yongxiao had no choice but to cooperate as much as possible, but the principle was that he would not take pictures if he could.

The person responsible for interviewing Du Yongxiao was Wang Mingquan, a new actress from Hong Kong TVB.

Wang Mingquan was born in Shanghai in 1947 on Chongming Island, Shanghai, and lived with his grandparents. In 1956, he was admitted to Li's Yingsheng Artist Training Class. Became one of more than a thousand applicants and started an acting career. Later, in order to further her performance, she went to Japan for further study at her own expense.

In 1969, Wang Mingquan won the first award in his acting career, "Overseas Chinese Daily" "Top Ten TV Stars Golden Globe Award".

In 1971, she switched to TVB and became the leading actress of the TV station. In addition to starring in TV series, she was also responsible for hosting evening programs, interviewing celebrities and other activities. She was a versatile person.

Du Yongxiao was originally unwilling to be interviewed by the TV station, but when he heard that the host of the interview was Wang Mingquan, he nodded in agreement.

This undoubtedly gave Wang Ming face, and even made other female anchors on the TV station unable to interview Du Yongxiao. The male reporters were full of jealousy and jealousy, and doubted whether there was any relationship between Du Yongxiao and Wang Mingquan.

Those female reporters and anchors directly suspected that Du Yongxiao coveted Wang Mingquan's beauty.

In fact, the reason why Du Yongxiao agreed to be interviewed by Wang Mingquan was entirely because Wang Mingquan was a famous patriotic artist in his previous life, and he was also someone Du Yongxiao admired.

As for coveting the beauty of Wang Ming, absolutely not.

The interview location was the Chief Superintendent’s Office of Wan Chai Police Station on Hong Kong Island chosen by To Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao was interviewed wearing the uniform of Chief Superintendent.

Although he has been appointed as the Commissioner of Police, Rosen is still in office now, and it will be three weeks before Du Yongxiao takes over as Commissioner.

Now, his police rank is still Chief Superintendent.

"Superintendent Du, Miss Wang Mingquan is here with the interview team, look -"

Female secretary Huang Ying knocked on the door and asked about Du Yong's filial piety.

Huang Ying is Du Yongxiao's secret lover. The two are inseparable in private, but on the surface they have class distinctions.

"Let them come in!" Du Yongxiao said, putting down his hands to correct the documents.

"Okay!" Huang Ying turned around and was about to go out, but Du Yongxiao suddenly called her from behind.

"What else do you have to say?" Huang Ying asked with a smile.

Du Yongxiao smiled slightly: "I know, would I be more handsome if I put on the uniform of the Commissioner of Police?"

Huang Ying was stunned for a moment: "In my eyes, you look handsome no matter what you wear!"

Du Yongxiao folded his hands and leaned on the seat, looking at Huang Ying with a smile: "When I become the director, I will help you become a female inspector, how about it? The first Chinese female inspector in Hong Kong, is it majestic or not?"

Huang Ying felt sweet in her heart and said, "I just want to stay by your side and not go anywhere."

Du Yongxiao nodded: "Well, then you will be the female inspector and female secretary!"

"Yeah!" Huang Ying smiled charmingly, turned and left.

Soon, there was a knock on the door.

Huang Ying came in with Wang Mingquan's interview team.

Wang Mingquan is 28 years old this year. She is young and beautiful. She is not the type who can charm men at a glance. It can even be said that she has a "masculine" aura that men don't like. Maybe this is related to her angular face.

Women's faces are softer and more beautiful like goose eggs, but Wang Mingquan's lines are too tough. This may be why she will star in the future as Huo Qingtong in "Book and Sword", and Zhao Min in "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword". They all belong to the "strong female" type.

The only thing that made Du Yongxiao feel that Wang Mingquan was different from other beauties was her eyes, which were super bright and full of knowledge and wisdom.

No wonder she will become TVB’s number one sister in the future, and is even known as TVB’s “Treasure of Taiwan”.

When Wang Mingquan was sizing up Du Yongxiao, he was also sizing up Du Yongxiao.

To be honest, although she had been prepared for it, she was still shocked by Du Yongxiao's young and handsome appearance when she first saw him.

As an artist, Wang Mingquan straddles the world of television and movies, and has met many handsome boys, such as Ti Lung, David Jiang, and the recently popular Er Dongsheng, etc., but none of these people can match the heroic and elegant look in front of him. Compared with Sven Du Yongxiao.

How should I put it, those male celebrities are all like "card guys". They are handsome and good-looking on the surface, which is what people can see at a glance.

But Du Yongxiao actually has a strong aura and amazing temperament.

Among the three interviewers following Wang Mingquan, one is responsible for carrying the camera, one is responsible for lighting, and the third is responsible for interviewing the script.

The three of them were also shocked by Du Yongxiao's appearance.

Du Yongxiao doesn't like exposure very much, and few people really know him.

Occasionally, even if Du Yongxiao appears in newspapers, it is mostly from the side or from the back. In addition, the photography technology of this era is really difficult to describe, and most of the pictures are black and white, so Du Yongxiao gives everyone the impression of just a handsome boy.

But now that they really saw him, both Wang Mingquan and the three of them were shocked.

"Hello, Miss Wang, I am Du Yongxiao." Seeing that Wang Mingquan was still in a daze, Du Yongxiao hurriedly stepped forward and extended his hand.

Only then did Wang Mingquan wake up, secretly cursing himself what was wrong? Obsessed or infatuated? I was not like this before, very capable.

"Hello, I am Wang Mingquan from TVB's "Government Express" column!"

The two shook hands.

Wang Mingquan took the initiative to introduce the three partners to Du Yongxiao, and then said: "Thank you very much, Superintendent Du, for accepting our interview. We have prepared some interview questions. You can take a look at them first. If there are any that you are not satisfied with, you can modify them."

Interview shows are actually similar to filming, basically there is a script.

Before the interview, the interview content will be communicated with the interviewee.

It will only proceed after getting the other party's nod of approval.

In this way, you can avoid disputes over sensitive issues or interruptions in the interview.

Du Yongxiao took the interview script and read it. The questions were all simple, including personal experience, how to join the police force, and the reasons for joining the police force. The more profound ones were about what he would do in the future as the first Chinese police commissioner. , and how to build an honest and efficient team, etc.

Du Yongxiao took a quick glance and found that there was no problem. At least Wang Mingquan didn't "dig a hole" for himself, so he handed back the interview script and said, "No problem, we can start."

"You don't need to make any preparations?" Wang Mingquan reminded, "We are recording and broadcasting directly."

Du Yongxiao smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter. I know what I should say and what I shouldn't say. I won't let you get stuck."

It was the first time that Wang Mingquan saw such a arrogant young man. Even the big guys and tycoons did not dare to be so confident.

"Okay, let's start now-"

…

The entire interview lasted for a full hour. According to Wang Mingquan, with some editing by then, half an hour would be enough.

Du Yongxiao didn't care about this.

Overall the interview was a success.

After the interview, Du Yongxiao politely stood up and sent Wang Mingquan and others out of the office.

Everyone walked side by side in the corridor of the police station.

Seeing that the interview car was just ahead, Du Yongxiao planned to say a few polite words and send Wang Mingquan and the others there to end the event.

Suddenly, Wang Mingquan turned around and looked at Du Yongxiao with some fascination: "I'm sorry, Superintendent Du, can I boldly treat you to a meal?"

"Huh?" Du Yongxiao was stunned for a moment.

Huang Ying, who was accompanying Du Yongxiao to see her off, was also stunned for a moment. Looking at Wang Mingquan's delicate appearance, she immediately understood that this beauty was attracted to her Superintendent Du.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

Du Yongxiao is handsome, has a bright future, and is single now. Wang Mingquan is a very independent beauty, and she will not miss such an opportunity.

People say-——

A man chases a woman, separated by a mountain; a woman chases a man, separated by a layer of yarn.

Wang Mingquan is a new era woman who dares to pursue her own happiness.

What's more, as a famous TVB actress, Wang Mingquan is not bad in her own right. She is pursued by a lot of men, including rich and handsome men and business tycoons. However, Wang Ming looks down on all of them. Only Du Yongxiao in front of him, but for some reason, he is let down. She couldn't help but feel her heart beat.

If I had to give a reason, it would be Du Yongxiao's eyes, which were deep and mysterious, as if he could see through everything.

Wang Mingquan's initiative made Du Yongxiao stunned. He glanced at Huang Ying next to him, and he must have started to pout.

Du Yongxiao knew that he couldn't smear Wang Ming's face, and he couldn't really agree to the other party, so he smiled and said: "Miss Wang is wrong. You came to the police station for an interview today. Logically speaking, I should take the initiative to invite your team to have dinner. How can I Make you spend money?"

Du Yongxiao's words are an understatement, but full of wisdom.

Wang Mingquan is a well-known smart woman, and she knew immediately that Du Yongxiao was not interested in her, so she smiled slightly: "You are right, but I only know one but not the other."

"Oh, how do you say this?"

"The reason why I invited you to dinner is because I hope that when you officially take office as the Commissioner of Police, our TVB TV station can be the only TV station to broadcast live. I wonder if Superintendent Du will agree?"

Sure enough, this woman is too smart.

Du Yongxiao had to admire how quickly his thinking changed.

"I really can't make the decision on this. As you know, these require communication between your TV station and our police public relations department."

"Really, I've been too abrupt this time!" Wang Mingquan smiled slightly, directly turning the crisis into something invisible, "I'll let our TV station follow up - I really hope that I can witness Superintendent Du's resignation by then, really. Yes, as the first Chinese police chief, I really hope to witness this great historical moment!" After saying that, my beautiful eyes flashed with enchanted little stars.

Du Yongxiao didn't dare to look, turned his face and pointed at the interview lane: "Thank you! It's late, and I won't send you off any more!"

"goodbye!"

"See you!"

Wang Mingquan and the others got in the car and left.

Du Yongxiao watched them leave.

Huang Ying took a step forward, stood side by side with Du Yongxiao and said, "She likes you."

"What?" Du Yongxiao pretended not to know.

"I said this beauty named Wang Mingquan likes you." Huang Ying glanced at Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao shrugged: "You must have read it wrong."

"That's right! We women have a very good sixth sense." Huang Ying said, "It seems that our great Director Du is very busy. On the one hand, he has to deal with official duties and on the other hand, he has to deal with all kinds of beauties."

Du Yongxiao turned around and saw that no one was around. He reached out and pinched Huang Ying's cheek: "Are you jealous?"

"No."

"It's weird if you don't. Now, maybe you can help me well in the future-"

"Maybe?" Huang Ying's eyes lit up and she thought, does he want to marry me?

"Maybe - ahem, we'll talk about it then!" After Du Yongxiao finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the office.

Huang Ying caught up and wanted to ask more questions, but finally held back and said in her heart: "Yes, he is so good, even if he really wants to marry, he will marry one of those rich and famous ladies, or a lady from a famous family. How can he marry a little girl like me?"

Huang Ying shook her head mockingly and looked at Du Yongxiao's back, knowing that as long as she wanted to stay by his side, she must not be jealous.

But--

She really can't do it without being jealous!

…

August 16, 1975.

Auspicious days of the zodiac.

It is appropriate to break ground, open a business, and put in place work.

Crackling!

Hong Kong Tai Pak Seafood Restaurant——

The huge dining boat was decorated with lanterns and festoons.

As Hong Kong's leading restaurant, today we have a "double happiness" here.

First of all, Hong Kong's first "express company", Shunfeng Express flagship store, was officially established.

Secondly, the Hong Kong Football Association building has officially started construction in Ho Kau Tin.

On this day, as the president of Shunfeng Express and the chairman of the Football Association, Mr. Huo Zhenting and Mr. Huo dressed up to attend today's banquet.

In the past, Mr. Huo was regarded as the son of the Huo family by the Hong Kong business community, which meant that Mr. Huo, a big tiger, had such an incompetent son.

Compared with his two younger brothers, Mr. Huo has indeed lacked achievements in business.

But now, Mr. Huo is not only the leader of the express delivery company, but also the chairman of the Hong Kong Football Association. He has great power and majesty, making many wealthy children envious and jealous.

In addition to Mr. Huo himself, his father, Mr. Huo, and his two sons came to cheer for this feast, letting everyone see how "harmony" and "cooperation" the Huo family is.

In addition, Hong Kong's tycoons and tycoons all dressed up to attend the event.

Among them are the Chartered Ship King, Xu Ship King, Dong Ship King and Cao Ship King among Hong Kong’s “four major ship kings”.

There are also Hong Kong real estate tycoons Li Zhaoji, Guo Desheng, Feng Jingxi, etc.

Li Jiacheng, the boss of Hong Kong Cheung Kong Holdings, Qiu Degen, the boss of Hong Kong Far East Bank, Li Zhaofu, the boss of Hong Kong Far East Securities, Lei Juekun, the king of Hong Kong Kowloon Bus, as well as Hong Kong steel king Pang Dingyuan, Hong Kong garment king Lin Baixin, etc.

It can be said that this feast was attended by many celebrities. The only surprising thing was that Du Yongxiao, Huo's best friend, the founder of Shunfeng and the boss behind the Football Association, did not appear.

There is a reason for his absence.

Because today is an auspicious day, and it is also the day when he takes office as the first Chinese Commissioner of Police in Hong Kong!
