Hi
I heard the following word (just the sounds; I'm not sure if it is the right character 著績) in the following sentence:

梗係話彼老闆聽但係唔會著績咁做 - does it mean obvious?

Thank you

著即, means intermediately, which is quite an old term used in official documents
e.g. 著即查辦

林則徐辦理禁煙不善,著即來京

Actually, 著 implies an order from the authority:

命令、差使
元·王實甫《西廂記·第四本·第二折》:「我你但去處行監坐守,誰你迤逗的胡行亂走?」
《西遊記·第一三回》:「接至裡面供給了,僧綱請往福原等安歇。」
