 Next Magazine journalists interviewed Chan at his home in Yuen Long , and his interview became the magazine 's cover story on 1 June 2006 . On 7 June 2006 , Chan , who had been hired as a Public Relations officer in the Steak Expert restaurant chain , was physically assaulted while on duty in front of witnesses by three unidentified masked men who then fled the scene . He sustained severe injuries to his eyes and face and was admitted to the emergency department for treatment . The restaurant owner , Mr. Lee , then faced pressure from his wife and daughter to fire Chan due to magazine allegations of Chan 's exploits in a Shenzhen karaoke hostess bar . Chan resigned after the owner 's wife attempted to overdose on drugs , ostensibly in an effort to force the issue .
