Su Mingzhe and Fang Yihua had dinner, and during the few miles they took her home, they encountered more than a dozen violent incidents such as robbery, murder, and horse riding.
In the eyes of the two of them, the originally bustling streets were not much different from the ruins after the war.
Because the streets were so chaotic, not a single police officer came out to maintain order.
While waiting for the traffic light, Su Mingzhe couldn't help but ask:
"Is Xiangjiang Island already so chaotic now?"
"You are a chief inspector, you don't even know this, right?"
Fang Yihua, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked at the man, trying to see if he was deliberately mocking or if he really didn't understand the situation.
"I really don't know. I haven't been to Xiangjiang Island for a long time."
Su Mingzhe did not lie. After he was transferred from Shau Kei Wan Police Station to the West Kowloon Region, except for commuting every day between the Peak Villa and West Kowloon, he basically spent the rest of his time wandering around his own jurisdiction.
He hasn't been to places like Xiangjiang Island, East Kowloon, and the New Territories for a long time.
Regarding the current chaos in Xiangjiang, Su Mingzhe only listened to some leaders complain during several regional leadership meetings.
Fang Yihua hesitated for a moment, then said:
"The current group of police officers in the police station have too close relations with the society. Even if the top executives of the corruption group are arrested, the people below still maintain the inherent interest relationships in the past. Because of the large number, the ICAC cannot arrest them at all. This As a result, the interest-export relationship between many low-level police officers and associations has become more prosperous than before."
"You heard at the headquarters, is there any way to deal with this?"
"The higher authorities are planning to recruit a group of new police officers, improve the salaries of police officers, and replace the current police station inside and out..."
"Is this preparation for 'high salary to support integrity'? Are the supporting regulatory mechanisms ready?"
Su Mingzhe had no problem with the system of "high salary to support integrity", but the inaction of the Hong Kong government over the next twenty years, that is, lazy and indolent governance, also brought extremely terrible consequences to Hong Kong.
"What kind of supporting regulatory mechanism? Isn't there an ICAC?"
Fang Yihua couldn't understand the meaning of Su Mingzhe's words.
Faced with the woman's doubts, Su Mingzhe hesitated for a moment before describing to her the future operating system of mainland society.
As Su Mingzhe described it, in Fang Yihua's mind, a blueprint for a government operation system with discipline, clean government, efficiency, convenience, and standardization, with the purpose of serving the society, gradually emerged.
"...In general, how many people does an ICAC have? If we want to manage the entire city, we need a complete set of supervision mechanisms. This supervision mechanism should be integrated into all government office processes."
"Ahem, what you said is quite good, but if you want to do it, I'm afraid Xiangjiang doesn't have the conditions."
Fang Yihua also didn't expect that Su Mingzhe had such high hopes for the future of Xiangjiang.
Before the blind date, all the disdain and defensiveness began to slowly dissipate at this moment.
Su Mingzhe didn't know it yet, but he had just described the future operating mechanism of mainland society and impressed Fang Yihua:
"It depends on people. We can make a feasible plan first and follow the steps step by step. If it doesn't work in one year, we can wait for ten years. If it doesn't work in ten years, it will be no problem in twenty years. As long as we persist in working hard, there will always be something. The day it comes true.”
Unconsciously, the car drove to the downstairs of the community where Fang Yihua lived.
Fang Yihua looked at Su Mingzhe, the indifference and alienation in his eyes were obviously gone. The moment he was about to open the door and get out of the car, he subconsciously said politely:
"Sir Ye, please send me back. Do you want to go up and have a cup of tea?"
"OK."
Su Mingzhe also wanted to chat more with Fang Yihua to deepen their understanding.
Fang Yihua was just being polite, but he didn't expect Su Mingzhe to climb along the pole.
But the man had already agreed, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and take Su Mingzhe back home.
Fang Yihua's mother, Fang Dong, looks very similar to her daughter. She is slightly thinner, with black hair, meticulously combed, neat face, elegant speech, and calm demeanor. Just by taking a look, you can clearly feel that she has always been there. The elegant and luxurious temperament exudes from the inside out.
Su Mingzhe suddenly remembered the Ruhua played by 'Sister Mei' in "Rouge Button", who was quite similar to Ms. Fang Dong at the moment.
"Mom, this is Ye Song, the blind date introduced to me by my cousin..."
Fang Yihua was talking fast to Su Mingzhe outside, but when he got home and saw his biological mother, he couldn't help but slow down.
"Hello, aunt."
Su Mingzhe also bowed respectfully and handed over the gift he had prepared, a bouquet of carnations.
"Ah Song, thank you. I haven't received flowers for a long time."
When Mrs. Fang heard her daughter introduce Su Mingzhe, her eyes were still a little surprised that her daughter would bring her blind date home. Then when she saw the pink carnations that Su Mingzhe handed over, the surprise in her eyes subsided and she put on a few Very satisfied:
"Xiaohua, invite the guests to sit down in the living room."
Say it, Mrs. Fang Dong went to the bedroom holding the flowers.
Accompanied by Fang Yihua, Su Mingzhe went to the living room and sat down, and then began to look at the house.
The area of the Fang family's house is about ninety square meters, with a layout of three bedrooms and one living room, and the furnishings, electrical appliances, decorated floors, wallpapers, and crystal lamps are all a bit old.
It can be seen that the layout of this home is at least more than 20 years old.
Fang Yihua waited for Su Mingzhe to sit down, then went to the kitchen to make a pot of tea.
Afterwards, the two chatted for a while.
This time, Fang Yihua basically introduced some simple information about his family to Su Mingzhe.
After about three minutes, Ms. Fang Dong came out of the bedroom. The home clothes she was originally wearing were now changed into a black cheongsam.
I have to say that 'Sister Mei''s face, calm and comfortable expression, paired with her cheongsam, are a model of elegance from top to bottom.
At this time, Su Mingzhe suddenly changed his previous idea of not wanting to marry Fang Yihua.
I have always heard about generation-shifting genes. If I have such an excellent mother-in-law, I believe that the children I will give birth to after marrying Fang Yihua will be similar.
I have to say that people’s ideas change too fast.
One second, Su Mingzhe thought Fang Yihua was suitable as a lover, and the next second he thought it would be good to take him home as his wife.
With this idea, Su Mingzhe's attitude toward Fang Dong and Fang Yihua immediately became more enthusiastic.
Fang Yihua felt Su Mingzhe's mood change and was a little shocked.
When the two of them had a blind date for dinner before, the man was still a model of a successful man, full of airs and lukewarm towards him.
But now, Su Mingzhe's attitude is no better than that of the suitors he met in the police station.
Faced with Su Mingzhe's change of attitude, Fang Yihua could only think that because his mother was present, Su Mingzhe was being pretentious and did not guess the deeper reason.
No matter how Fang Yihua feels, Fang Dong is quite satisfied with Su Mingzhe.
Half an hour later, Su Mingzhe said goodbye and left.
Mrs. Fang Dong then took her daughter and asked, "What do you think of Ye Song?"
"Okay."
Fang Yihua actually has a crush on Su Mingzhe, but there are some knots in his heart that haven't been resolved yet, so he can't say too much to his mother.
Fang Dongshi expressed his opinion at this time:
"I think he is okay. He is a young man who is thoughtful, capable and capable. There are not many outstanding young people like him in Xiangjiang."
"Really? Mom, I'm going to take a shower."
Fang Yihua obviously didn't want to talk about Su Mingzhe with his biological mother.
She had very complicated feelings about Su Mingzhe at the moment, and she couldn't help but have some information about Su Mingzhe in her mind.
As a former backbone of the corruption group, Su Mingzhe was not prosecuted because of his cooperation with the ICAC and received a "pardon" from the Hong Kong Governor. In the eyes of the outside world, he was turned into a tainted witness.
These things are all in the past.
Su Mingzhe is currently serving as the clerk in charge of West Kowloon, with the title of chief inspector. As long as he goes one step further, he will be the title of superintendent (constitutional committee level). At that time, he will be a real middle- and senior-level police officer.
And this level, for most police officers, is a hurdle that they will never be able to overcome in their lifetime.
But for 'Yesong', who has just turned thirty, as long as he doesn't make any mistakes, after five or six years, it's almost time for a promotion.
By then, 'Yesong', who was in his thirties, was a rising star in the police force.
Such a man is really a perfect match for a blind date.
However, this Su Mingzhe has too many women.
As far as Fang Yihua knew, there were several.
As a young girl, Fang Yihua still hopes to meet a beautiful love.
Tossing and turning all night.
The next day came, the weekend.
Fang Yihua rarely slept in and didn't get up until after nine o'clock to wash up and eat.
"Mom, I made an appointment with my friend not to wait for me to eat at noon."
"Well, be careful when you're out there."
Sitting on the sofa, Ms. Fang Dong looked up and watched her daughter leave, her mood calm, and her hands knitting sweaters did not stop.
The ICAC crisis has had a huge impact on Hong Kong.
Except for West Kowloon, places are basically still in a state of semi-paralysis.
It can be said that it happens every day because of the inaction of the police department, the lazy and lazy administration of the government, and the scramble for territory by associations.
Compared with other places, the environment here in West Kowloon can be called paradise.
The surveillance system Su Mingzhe built in West Kowloon is actually not that scary.
However, due to comparison, everyone subconsciously believes that West Kowloon has stricter control.
When everyone was fighting for territory, they subconsciously avoided West Kowloon.
This has led to business people flocking to West Kowloon in pursuit of a stable environment.
West Kowloon's economic growth rate and market prosperity quickly surpassed other regions.
And for all this, the people of West Kowloon know who to thank.
Su Mingzhe accompanied A Mei to a familiar restaurant for lunch. The boss came over to say hello in person:
"Sir Ye, what a coincidence that you came here. We have a new tuna in our restaurant. Do you think it is braised or steamed?"
"Steam it."
Su Mingzhe likes braised food, but A Mei likes steamed food.
"Okay, let's drink the red wine you saved today, or open a new bottle?"
“The bottle of Romanée-Conti from before will do.”
After ordering your meal, wait for the boss and waiter to leave automatically.
Amei couldn't help but look at her man with obsessed and loving eyes:
"Husband, you are so awesome. Now the whole West Kowloon people regard you as an object of worship."
"The whole of Xiangjiang will be like this in the future."
Su Mingzhe said something very narcissistic.
Not only did Ami not laugh, but she nodded in agreement.
The Rechi Nightclub where she sang before was not far from the Shau Kei Wan Police Station, both on Xiangjiang Island.
It was precisely because she had been working on Xiangjiang Island before that she knew what kind of chaos Xiangjiang Island had become.
Looking at West Kowloon, it’s like two different worlds.
And all of this is thanks to my man.
Ami will inevitably have a little blind worship of her man.
"Here, let's eat shrimp dumplings."
It was rare for Su Mingzhe to have some free time today and be able to take A Mei out shopping alone.
Linda took Zhong Xiaohong shopping today.
Deng Lin stayed at home to rest because she was feeling unwell.
Wang Huizhu went home to see her uncle.
Her uncle suffered from lung disease and went to the hospital for surgery some time ago. Although he has been discharged from the hospital, he still has some difficulty in moving.
Wang Huizhu basically goes back to visit once a week.
Just when Su Mingzhe and A Mei were enjoying the delicious tuna, he suddenly felt that A Mei was a little nervous. He followed A Mei's eyes and didn't expect that an unexpected person would appear in front of him.
"Sir Ye, what a coincidence that we will meet here."
Rose, who had been disappearing since the arrest of the four chief detectives, unexpectedly reappeared at this moment. Her charming face was lightly painted with powder, and her tall and proud figure made Amei, who had always been favored, Everyone started to feel some pressure.

"Miss Rose, long time no see. Let's sit down and have something to eat."
Su Mingzhe was really polite.
However, Rose, a woman who didn't know what politeness meant at all, actually smiled lightly: "Okay, I happen to be hungry too. I hope I didn't disturb Sir Ye and this sister."
"do not bother."
A Mei has a gentle and kind personality. Although she felt the cold aura on Rose's body, she didn't say anything and kept her away from her.
Seeing that this woman was not polite at all, Su Mingzhe guessed that she had something to do with him.
Because a new person came, the waiter was called again and the dishes were changed again.
While waiting for the food, Rose took the initiative to chat with A Mei. Su Mingzhe occasionally interrupted, and the atmosphere was quite good.
However, when Ami wasn't paying attention, the woman Rose had already had a secret communication with Su Mingzhe.
After lunch, Rose said goodbye.
Only then did Amei remember and asked Su Mingzhe:
"Husband, what's the business of this rose?"
"Powder seller."
Su Mingzhe told the origin of Rose's identity, and at the end he did not forget to complain:
"Her father and brother are both fans. When it comes to her, according to the information I know, her eldest brother died in Siam in 1969. She went to Siam at that time to inherit her brother's power. Now she returns to Xiangjiang Continuing to sell fans is considered as inheriting the ancestral business."
