215 [Justice of the Peace]
You have your name on the list of justices of the peace!
Just because of Huo Guantai's words, even if the Chinese New Year's Eve meal is finished, Huo Yaowen has been in a state of confusion and excitement, although as early as when he met Huo Guantai before, when the other party said that he wanted to push himself, Huo Yaowen had the expectation in his heart that he could have the title of Justice of the Peace, but the moment the truth came out, the excitement in his heart was still indescribable.
Since the middle of last year, since Fok Yiuwen established the Hong Kong Charity Education Foundation, he has begun to do charity in a premeditated manner, promoting himself in newspapers, with the aim of being a Justice of the Peace.
A Justice of the Peace is a title that originated in the United Kingdom and is a civil servant appointed by the government to maintain peace in the community, prevent unlawful punishment and handle some of the simpler legal proceedings.
At first, most of them were held by British, but as the status of Chinese in Hong Kong became higher and higher, after the birth of the first Chinese Justice of the Peace, a number of Chinese gentlemen were appointed every year to maintain law and order and criminal law in Hong Kong.
Don't look at it decades later, in Hong Kong, the Justice of the Peace is just a simple honor, almost no power at all, just a symbol of honor, but in the past, the duty of the Justice of the Peace, the most powerful part, is that the British stipulate that the testimony of ordinary Chinese in court is invalid, unless the Justice of the Peace is invalid.
In 1970, although the duties of Justice of the Peace are much less than before, the social status of the justice of the peace still has an irresistible charm.
Huo Yaowen has the title of Justice of the Peace, and in the future, even in front of Jianghu bigwigs like Ma Rulong and Lame Hao, they must be respectful and respectful, and they must not have the slightest pretentiousness, otherwise it will not only offend Huo Yaowen, but the entire Justices of the Peace group, which is also equivalent to offending the British government.

Anna leaned over to Huo Yaowen and sat down, looked at his face, which had been excited since she received the call, and asked curiously, "What's wrong?" â
"There's good news. Huo Yaowen replied happily, and at the same time subconsciously hugged Anna's waist.
Zhang Wanjun, who had been observing the two of them not far away, saw this scene at this time, Nunu mouthed, turned her head and looked at the TV, but she peeked over from time to time, which still showed that she was not happy.
Anna smiled, "What good news makes you happy like this?"
"Do you know JP (Justice of the Peace)?" said Fok Yiu-man.
âJPīŧâ
Anna frowned and asked with uncertainty in her words, "Are you talking about JusticeofthePeace?"
Huo Yaowen nodded: "Yes, that's it." â
Anna is British, so she naturally knows what a Justice of the Peace is, but the name is different, listening to Huo Yaowen talk about this, she is smart, and immediately thought of a possibility, and said with a smile on her face: "What? You are going to be appointed as a JP Justice of the Peace in Hong Kong?"
Huo Yaowen smiled: "No accident, it should be." â
Although Anna didn't think JP was a high honor, but seeing Huo Yaowen happy, she also smiled: "Congratulations, dear, JP is a good honor in the UK, although it is not as good as the official title, but in court, JP has a lot of power." â
"In Hong Kong, JP is not just in court. â
Huo Yaowen's eyes are like torches, when he wrote online movies to check information in his last life, he clearly knew how important it was to have the title of Justice of the Peace in Hong Kong, not only in the court, but also in social status.
...
After the Spring Festival, Hong Kong lasted for several days of joyful and lively festive atmosphere, but after the third day of the first lunar month, most of the citizens came out of their homes and did not want to continue to go to work.
On the fourth day of the first lunar month, Hong Kong Charity Education Foundation.
At this time, the foundation was overcrowded, and one or two hundred people lined up in a long line, from the foundation's finance room to the gate, all waiting for the people inside to give them grants in an orderly manner. These are all poor students whose tuition fees are subsidized by the foundation, and many of them are parents who accompany them.
"Click, click, click......"
Reporters from Ming Pao, Ta Kung Pao, Wen Wei Po and many other newspapers held cameras at the door to photograph these students who were waiting in line to receive financial aid.
After taking a few photos, the Ming Pao reporter stepped forward with a tape recorder and asked, "Hello sir, I am a Ming Pao Pao, do you have anything to say about the Hong Kong Charity Education Foundation's sponsorship of your children's schooling?"
"I'm not a gentleman, and I don't know what to say, so go ask somebody else. The student's parents were a little shy, apparently for the first time to meet a reporter, and couldn't help but tighten their clothes.
"Don't be nervous, sir, I'm just asking a little question, since you don't know how to say, how about I ask you?"
"Yes. â
The reporter asked: "Do you think Hong Kong's charity education should be vigorously promoted, so that more poor students can go into schools to learn knowledge?" â
The parent thought for a moment and replied, "Of course." I am a fisherman in Tai O, and I have never read a book in my life, so I know a little simple arithmetic, but I am not proficient in arithmetic, and often sometimes I miss several fish when I sell them, so when my child reaches school age, I send him to study at a rooftop primary school in Tai O. When I finished primary school and was ready to go to middle school, I found that the tuition fee of middle school was too high, and I still had a large family to support, if it weren't for the support of Huo Dashan from the Charity Education Foundation, I am afraid that my child would not be able to go to middle school after finishing primary school, by the way, Huo Dashan also gave my child 50 yuan per month for living expenses. â
The reporter asked: "What about ......?"
...
Inside the office.
Luo Qiaozhen walked in with a stack of documents, glanced at Huo Yaowen sitting in the boss's chair, stepped forward and said, "President, this is the investment plan document written by Liu Xuyan. â
"Investment plan?" Huo Yaowen looked up at Luo Qiaozhen and asked, "He made it so quickly?"
Luo Qiaozhen nodded: "Yes, I have read it, it is very well written, the main investment direction is in securities, but there are also many in real estate." â
Since the last interview, Luo Qiaozhen did not hire Zhang Chaoyao, but hired Liu Xuyan, who Huo Yaowen is optimistic about, in the past two months, Liu Xuyan has been studying and working in the UK for many years, and he does not know much about the situation in Hong Kong, so he has been studying Hong Kong's securities and finance industries, and is always observing the real estate industry that he values, and finally wrote an investment plan a year ago and handed it over to Luo Qiaozhen.
It's just that it was almost the New Year at that time, so she didn't tell Huo Yaowen about it, and she wanted to wait until the fourth day of the Lunar New Year after the New Year to pay tuition and living expenses to the sponsored students, and then notify him separately.
Huo Yaowen took the investment plan in Luo Qiaozhen's hand, read it carefully for a while, and found that Liu Xuyan is still more optimistic about the Hong Kong stock market, in addition to writing about investing in the real estate industry, he also wrote some investment ideas about securities finance, writing: "Since the establishment of the Hong Kong Far East Stock Exchange last year, this means that the pace of listing of Hong Kong Chinese companies has been unstoppable, in this case, I think Hong Kong's stock market will increase to a great extent in the future......
As soon as he saw this, Huo Yaowen really felt these elites, the sharp business vision and keen intuition of investment, he had known about the prosperity of the Hong Kong stock market for a long time, but this was thanks to the memory before rebirth, and Liu Xuyan was discovered by virtue of his keen understanding of the current situation, this kind of talent is rare.
"What do you think?" Huo Yaowen asked Luo Qiaozhen what he thought before he finished reading it.
Luo Qiaozhen nodded: "I think what Liu Xuyan said is right, I deliberately went to the Far East Exchange to take a look, where there are many people who buy and sell stocks now, and there are companies listed almost every week." â
Hearing this, Huo Yaowen threw the paperwork on the table and said, "Then let him execute it." â
"Yes. Luo Qiaozhen responded.
At the end, there was nothing to say in the office for a while, and suddenly Luo Qiaozhen said with a smile on her face: "By the way, I forgot to congratulate you, President." â
Huo Yaowen was puzzled: "Congratulations to me?"
Luo Qiaozhen smiled: "You know it in your heart!"
After being stunned for a few seconds, Huo Yaowen's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Luo Qiaozhen's shallow smile, and couldn't help but think of the new Chinese New Year's Eve night, when Huo Guantai called, he said that among the five people who recommended him, two of them were not found by him, could it be ......
...
A few days later.
A few days later, after the news of the Hong Kong Charity Education Foundation's sponsorship of student tuition fees was reported in a number of newspapers, the Hong Kong Government Gazette, the official newspaper of the British government, published this year's list of Justices of the Peace appointments, effective today.
"Pursuant to section 316 of the Justices of the Peace Ordinance, the following persons are appointed as Justices of the Peace with effect from 10 February 1970: Ho Sai-chu, Ms Leung Wong Man-kwan, Fong Yun-wah, Dr Sun Ping-shu, Fok Yiu-man, Mu Ya, Wong Wai-pik and Ms Kwan Ko Chiu-wah. â
