Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 248: 25: All the wise men have arrived

Bo Xidong, who was sitting in the passenger seat, kept nodding his head to show that he understood. He would stop as soon as the money he brought was spent.

Believe it or not!

You are such a bad guy!

Chi Mengli cursed in his heart, and then continued: "Don't worry about the debt. If you can't pay it back in five years, then it will be ten years."

"As long as Lao Ding doesn't speak up, others can only complain on the sidelines if they have any opinions."

"If, I mean if, you really get the Changhong Emperor, you have to help Master Wang collect the building. You can't waste the reputation you bought with money."

"It's only a matter of time before you, Bocaidong, come to the fore. It's a blessing in disguise. It's better to do it sooner rather than later. With the title of Changhong Emperor, your reputation has been fully established."

The title of Emperor Changhong is still of some use.

If Bo Xidong really gets the title of Changhong Emperor, Chi Mengli will have to consider whether to try his best to snatch Ding Caipao and become famous in the Hongmen Conference.

Throwing the street!

His real identity is a policeman, not a real gangster!
For Bo Xidong, taking back the building did not cause any psychological pressure at all. He had always been against giving such a good way to make money to Hei Ahu.

After explaining a few things, Chi Mengli felt dry in the mouth. He closed his eyes, rested his mind, and prepared to face the upcoming challenges.

Behind the Mercedes-Benz of Shenxianjin, there were nearly forty luxury cars, which showed the heritage of the water room in full view.

Shenxian Jin, who was smoking, saw the convoy through the rearview mirror. His face flushed with pride.

"Boss, this time the Shuifang is really powerful. With more than 30 big bets, even Heliansheng may not have as many as our Shuifang. I think after tonight, the name of Heji will belong to our Shuifang."

Ah Bing, who was sitting in the passenger seat, immediately turned into a supporting actor and started praising Shen Xian Jin.

"Hehehe"

"A Bing, you've also learned to flatter!"

This flattery was very good, and Shenxianjin was very pleased with it. He hummed a few times and then said, "It's different now than before. In the past, the underworld was an extension of the business world. To put it bluntly, we are just like the cops, dogs of the big bosses."

"Since the emergence of the pink stalls and the flower stalls, we in the underworld have gradually drifted away from the bosses."

"The current underworld is very pure, that is to take advantage of the situation and gain wealth."

"A Bing, learn more from A Sheng. No matter what he does, he always plans before he acts. Everything he does is for the sake of money."

"I have a talented person like Ah Sheng in my class. I will be proud of it when I visit Uncle Gui in Singapore in the future."

Shenxianjin gave some advice to Ah Bing who was sitting in the passenger seat, telling him to focus more on making money. Being successful was a small matter, but making money was the most important thing.

The convoy drove all the way to the gate of Taibai Seafood Restaurant. The number gang members who were responsible for maintaining order saw that it was the boss of the seafood restaurant who had arrived, and immediately sent someone to invite Ninth Girl. Today she was the master of ceremonies, and the hard job of receiving the bosses fell on her.

The driver and the gangsters from the Number Gang walked all the way to the end and parked the car in a parking space that had already been vacated.

Before the car stopped, Ah Bing, who was sitting in the passenger seat, pushed open the door and got out, ran to the back door and opened the door for Lao Ding Shenxianjin.

People fight for a breath, Buddhas fight for a stick of incense, and the scenery of the immortal Jin is the scenery of the water room.

Shenxianjin nodded with satisfaction and stepped out of the car.

People kept getting off the car behind, and all the bigwigs from the water rooms stood behind Shenxianjin.

Many of the small-time restaurant owners and bosses who were boarding the ship were shocked and had unnatural expressions when they saw the large number of people in the water room.

I didn't expect that Shuifang, which made a fortune in silence, has now become a giant second only to Heliansheng, Haohaobang and Xinji.

The scholar ghost standing at the other end of the parking lot also had a sullen face. Big Mouth Duck, the loser, was not careful enough and was completely defeated. Yau Ma Tei had to let Haotian take over, but the place had been almost taken over by the losers from the water room, and they also had to guard against the Liu family's dirty tricks.

Guangrong is a loser. We asked him to come out for a talk, but he refused to show up. Every day he sends his minions to cause trouble. Now the big players are complaining bitterly. This is really a bad year for him.

Some people have bad luck in their years, while others are happy and smiling.

Scholar Ghost felt a little regretful that he had let Handsome Sheng grow bigger and did not support Big Mouth Duck, which led to the expansion of Water House in Yau Ma Tei.

There is no regret medicine. The big duck has already failed. Haotian is just a small red stick, not even a big bottom. There is no way to compete with the handsome boy.

He is so clever that he ends up losing the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds.

Da Tianjiu, who was standing nearby, saw that the scholar ghost was unwilling to give up, but the situation was irreversible and could not be changed. He took a step forward and said to the scholar ghost, "Lao Ding, it's windy outside, let's get on the boat!"

"The tide rises and falls, it's a common thing, don't take it to heart, I think Haotian is a very good person, he is a natural fighter, he will definitely take back all the lost territory!"

When the scholar ghost heard Da Tianjiu's comfort, he nodded helplessly. He knew in his heart that the lost territory could not be taken back unless the Donglian Society could also produce a big red stick as outstanding as the handsome Sheng.

It is easy to find a fortune, but it is hard to find a general.

Such talents, like gold in the sand, have long been hidden by major companies, leaving no room for outsiders to take advantage of them.

The scholar ghost boarded the boat with a gloomy look. He knew that the protagonist of Yau Ma Tei was no longer the Tung Lian Society. This was the reality and he had to accept it!
The big guys from Donglian Society who were attending the appointment with Shushenggui were also shocked by the lineup in the water room. They looked at each other, no longer in the mood to speak, and silently followed Shushenggui to Taibai Seafood Restaurant.

After hearing the report from her henchman, Ninth Girl immediately walked out of the hall. Seeing Shenxianjin bringing all the gang members to attend the Hongmen Conference, she curled her lips helplessly.

But her disdainful expression flashed by, and she quickly went to meet him, walked in front of Shenxian Jin, and said with a smile: "Uncle Jin, you are really impressive this time. I believe that if this news spreads to Honolulu, you will definitely be the center of attention of the big bosses in all the mountains."

"Please come in, my father and the representatives of the Hongmen are waiting for you. My father said that Uncle Jin's golf club skills are the best in the world. He wants to learn from you and show off in front of his friends in the future.

"Everyone, please come in!"

After the Ninth Girl finished speaking, she took the lead and walked forward, acting as a guide.

Chi Mengli stood at the end of the crowd, silently following the team forward. In his previous life, he had been to Taibai Seafood Restaurant once. At that time, Taibai Seafood Restaurant was just an ordinary tourist check-in spot.

There isn't much that stands out. After all, in previous lives, small and medium-sized restaurants had already used technology and hard work, and the delicious seasonings that big restaurants are proud of have become commonplace!
But as soon as he walked into the hall of Taibai Seafood Restaurant, he was dazzled by the sparkling crystal chandelier. He quickly closed his eyes, took a second, and then slowly opened his eyes.

The people in the water room arrived relatively late, and the hall on the first floor was already full of people. There was a small triangular sign on each table with black words on red paper, which displayed the signs of various clubs.

Chi Mengli felt like he had entered the Mountaintop Agent Exhibition Hall. In his previous life, those initials that had disappeared in the long river of history appeared before his eyes. It was incredible!

There are many radicals that are rarely seen even now, but they all appeared at this Changhong Conference, such as the Da radical, the Lian radical, the Guang radical, the Quan radical. Even the Hongsheng Society, the origin of Hong Kong societies, which is older than Lao Fu and He He Tu, also sent representatives to participate.

It is really a place where all the wise men and evil spirits gather!
The water room is a big place. The four major societies newly selected by the police will certainly not sit on the first floor. The number gang has already prepared seats on the second floor.

Chi Mengli followed Shenxianjin up the stairs to the second floor. The second marshal of the Number Gang, the chief Deng Qi, was standing at the stairs to welcome Shenxianjin.

"Ah Jin, long time no see. You seem to be more energetic than ever. We are just a bunch of rascals, and we can't compare to you. You are so awesome!"

Deng Qi first shook hands with Shenxianjin, then praised Shenxianjin a few words, then glanced at the people in the water room behind Shenxianjin and gave them a thumbs up in a sarcastic manner.

Even though he knew that what Deng Qi said was not good and was not sincere, Shenxian Jin still smiled complacently. That's how the world of martial arts is; whoever has more money and more brothers can speak louder and doesn't need to care about other people's reactions.

The water room is very powerful today, so of course Shenxianjin will be arrogant to the end!
"Seventh Brother, you are making fun of me. Everyone in Hong Kong knows that if we talk about the number of thugs, your Number Gang is second, and no one dares to rank first!"

"My men are all from the countryside and have never seen the world. I brought them here today just to broaden their horizons. I have no other ideas. Brother Qi, don't let your imagination run wild!"

Deng Qi immediately laughed out loud and cursed in his heart, "You, Shenxian Jin, are really just taking off your pants to fart, it's a waste of time. You brought so many people here, don't you just want to say that the bathroom is the most powerful now!"
But even though he cursed in his heart, he couldn't break the harmony on the surface. Deng Qi laughed a few times and then introduced Shenxian Jin: "Ah Jin, this is the Hongmen representative from Honolulu, the grandson of Master Situ."

"Tian Gang, this is the owner of Shui Fang and An Le, the famous Shen Xian Jin."

"At the Hongmen headquarters meeting three years ago, the representative of the Hongmen disciples in Hong Kong was this immortal Jin. Brother Jin, why don't you come over and say hello!"

Situ Tiangang, who was watching the fight between the two martial arts masters, stepped forward quickly, clasped his hands together, with his right thumb pointing upwards, and his left hand holding his entire right hand, looking up to the right, and said: "The land is high and the mountains are beautiful through the ages, Anliang Gaogong."

Mr. Situ followed Mr. Sun and served as his bodyguard and chef in Boston. He helped Mr. Sun deal with many Qing Dynasty assassins and made great contributions to the Chinese nation.

So Mr. Situ founded the Anliang General Hall in Honolulu, which is the predecessor of the Hongmen Headquarters. As a member of the Situ family, Situ Tiangang was branded with the mark of the Anliang General Hall since he was born.

The refrain Situ Tiangang said was the most common one among the common ones. Storytellers all used these two refrains as the opening poem, but what caught the attention of Shenxian Jin were the last four words, Anliang Gaogong.

These four words are the motto of Anliang Headquarters, and the young man in front of him happened to be named Situ, which made him think more.

"The gate faces the sea, the water of three rivers flows together for ten thousand years, and the world is peaceful and prosperous."

"Mr. Situ is really young and promising. In previous years, the Grand Master Peitang came in person to attend the Changhong Meeting. I didn't expect that Mr. Situ would come this year. It's really surprising."

"Seventh Brother, after Ge Lao passed away, Lin Lao also retired. There is no one left in your Number Gang who understands the rules of the Hongmen."

"Is it that our group of Hongmen disciples are not worthy of the Honolulu headquarters? Or is it that your seventh brother is not strong enough to invite a companion?"

Shenxianjin sensed that something was wrong and immediately attacked Deng Qi. The Honolulu Hongmen headquarters only sent a young man this time and did not take the Hongmen members of the Hong Kong underworld seriously.

"Brother Jin, what are you talking about? This year is the grand ceremony for the ancestors, and both the attendant and the chief are busy, so they sent Tiangangzi to act as a representative."

"Alright! Don't be angry. My box is ready. I opened a bottle of 30-year-old Shaoxing Yellow wine. If the young guys want to make a scene, let them do it. We'll drink ours."

Deng Qi explained that this was indeed a special case and would not happen again in the future.

Shenxian Jin was just taking the opportunity to vent his anger. He didn't care who the Honolulu Hongmen headquarters would send. He was just annoyed that Deng Qi kept calling him "Ajin". They were all the same generation and leaders.

You, Deng Qi, you are such a loser, you just want to suppress me and embarrass me in front of my own men. If I don't lose my temper now, when will I lose my temper? Hearing Deng Qi change his tone from Ah Jin to Brother Jin, and opening a jar of 30-year-old Shaoxing Huang to make amends, he immediately let go of Situ Tiangang and immediately replied: "Brother Qi is really generous. The Shaoxing Huang in Hong Kong is one less jar after one drink."

"Since it is the great day of our ancestor, I won't say too much. The guest should follow the host's wishes."

"But only Brother Seven can get Shaoxing yellow from the mainland. It seems that the Number Gang has a wide range of friends! I really admire you. To be honest, among the Number Gang, the one I admire the most is Brother Seven. I admire you the most. I really admire you."

Deng Qi's face didn't look very good, but he still stretched out his hand to invite Shenxian Jin to go to the box.

Shenxianjin and Deng Qi went to the private room. Ninth Girl, who was standing nearby, began to introduce the big brothers from the water room who were participating in the Changhong Club to Situ Tiangang, who was standing nearby wiping his sweat.

Chi Mengli, who was standing at the end of the team, witnessed the whole confrontation between Shenxianjin and Deng Qi. Shenxianjin's brain was really smart and sharp. He immediately found the loophole and made Deng Qi admit his mistake. It was really not easy!

"cough cough"

"Brother Tiangang, this is handsome Sheng, Brother Sheng, the most popular red stick in the water room right now, and he is recognized as a double-flowered red stick."

The Ninth Girl introduced everyone one by one, but when she introduced Chi Mengli, she deliberately coughed a few times to attract the attention of the people around her. Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, she raised her voice and praised Chi Mengli in public.

Hearing the sarcasm of the Ninth Girl, Chi Mengli also frowned. This devilish woman is a dog-skin plaster. She has been looking for trouble with him these past two days. What a pity!
"Hello, Mr. Situ. Miss Nine and I are partners, and she always ruins my performance."

"Hong Kong is full of talented people. It's not embarrassing to show off my mediocre skills. Don't mention the double flower red stick anymore, or I'll turn against you!"

Chi Mengli first shook hands with Situ Tiangang, and then warned Ninth Girl a few words, telling this dead idiot not to talk nonsense.

But the Situ Tiangang in front of him still left a deep impression on him. This Hongmen representative from Honolulu had calluses an inch thick on his hands, and he must have practiced external martial arts.

When he heard the words "Double Flowers and Red Sticks", Situ Tiangang's eyes lit up. He was a martial arts fanatic and was obsessed with boxing and kung fu to the extreme. Wherever he went, he would look for famous teachers and masters to compete with them in a real fight.

Hong Kong is a martial arts hotspot, and Wuguan Street is famous both at home and abroad. This time, in addition to serving as a representative of the Hongmen, he will also go to Wuguan Street to compete with these top boxers from the mainland.

"You are Brother Sheng. I have heard of you for a long time."

"I heard of your name last night, Brother Sheng. In less than two minutes, you defeated a red stick master who is proficient in Bajiquan. I really admire you!"

Although the handsome Sheng in front of him had a slender figure without overly explosive muscles, Situ Tiangang did not underestimate his fellow brother. After all, many masters of internal martial arts rely on internal strength rather than external force.

"Haha, good news never goes out, but bad news travels a thousand miles. I'm sorry to make you laugh, Mr. Situ."

It was already a common knowledge, so if Chi Mengli continued to be modest it would be a bit hypocritical. He just laughed and put the matter behind him.

"Everyone, this way please."

When the Ninth Girl saw that Situ Tiangang and Handsome Sheng had finished their greetings, she waved her hand and led the big brothers in the water room to their exclusive seats.

There are four large round tables in the water room. Gao Laofa, Blind Heng, Boxing King Sheng, Baihua Snake and others are Shenxian Jin's henchmen. They naturally occupy the two tables with the best views.

However, Gao Laofa did not go too far. He reserved three seats at his table. After all, if Bocaidong wanted to win for a long time, he had to leave a prominent position for him.

Chi Mengli originally wanted to hide behind Gao Laofa and the others, quietly smoke, eat, and watch the fun, but things did not go as he wished. He could only accept Gao Laofa's kindness and sit next to the bespectacled guy.

To be honest, Gao Laofa wore black-framed myopic glasses and was tall and thin. He was not wearing a suit but a woolen plaid shirt. He looked exactly like the programmers of later generations and did not look like a gangster at all.

The blind car god Heng was not paying attention to the Changhong meeting at all. He was holding a spark plug in his hand and whispering to the driver next to him, all of which were jargons about car modification.

The Hundred Flowers Snake was sitting aside sulking, wishing he could eat alive Spinach Dong who was sitting next to him.

Chi Mengli didn't care about the loser's resentment, and Bo Xidong, who was born with the holy body of a gangster, didn't care even more. It was just that Hei Ah Hu, who was standing between the two of them, was a little scared, fearing that the two would start fighting directly if they had a disagreement.

The Ninth Miss walked up to Chi Mengli, raised the corners of her mouth, pulled over a chair, sat on it, and said softly: "Brother Sheng, I find that no matter what time it is, you are always calm and composed, and your face doesn't change at all."

"Always a smile that deserves a beating!"

Chi Mengli took out a cigarette box, picked out a cigarette, lit it, blew out a big smoke ring, and said helplessly: "I smiled at people, and you said I was hypocritical and wanted to buy people's hearts."

"I have no expression on my face, but you say I am arrogant, a big block of ice, and don't understand romance."

"When I smile more brightly, you say I am cheap, a jerk, and have evil thoughts in my heart."

“Get lost! You bunch of bastards, I’m going to use my Gatling gun that’s emitting blue flames to shoot you all. I’ll show you what “da da da da da” means!”

"Hem home shovel!"

Chi Mengli made a gun gesture with his fingers, like a funny child making a shooting gesture.

It was the first time that Ninth Girl saw Chi Mengli's childlike side. She covered her mouth and smiled, then objected, "Brother Sheng, you can laugh or you can keep a straight face, but you need to know when to stop."

“Not from one extreme to another!”

"I'm here to tell you a piece of news. It's a gift for our cooperation. Look at the five o'clock direction."

Chi Mengli immediately followed the instructions and looked towards the five o'clock direction, and then found that Fast Fist Jack, who had appeared in the elevator before, was sitting among the thirty-six round tables on the second floor.

He glanced at Fast Fist Jack, then looked away. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Ninth Miss, if I remember correctly, he is a member of Yazaku's team."

"Could it be that the Number Gang is now also beginning to take an international approach, preparing to absorb members of the Yazaku team and go to Japan to grab territory?"

The Ninth Girl took out her cigarette box and put one of her cigarettes into her mouth. Ever since the popularity of noodle stalls in Hong Kong, no one would smoke a stranger's cigarette unless they knew each other well, because there was a high possibility that something was added to the cigarettes.

The main method used by the sons-in-law to coax the pretty girls into a trance is to let these silly girls smoke cigarettes with added substances so that they become addicted to white ladies.

You must not have the intention to harm others, but you must have the intention to guard against others.

After taking a puff of her cigarette, she glanced at the Fast Punch Jack at five o'clock, and said to Chi Mengli with a smile, "Brother Sheng, you don't know this. Our Number Gang has been on the road to internationalization for a long time."

"Not only does Amsterdam have brothers from our Number Gang, but the Fuqing Gang in Japan also has the Number Gang behind them. Yi Zhong, the boss of To Kwa Wan who was driven away by your boss, is now the local emperor of the Netherlands. Neither the Vietnamese Gang nor the South Asians are his match."

"He has a henchman who is very sharp. He has a motto that I like very much: to be in the underworld or to go to the docks, it's just a matter of who has the faster gun!"

"What Jack was before is none of my business, but he is now a popular figure in my Number Gang. If you want to deal with him, you can only wait until you get the money."

"Alright! The four-eyed dragon is here, we can start!"

When the Ninth Miss saw her father coming out of the box to greet Xinji’s leader Siyanlong and the butler Lin Qing, she quickly stood up, walked to the stairs, and said hello to Siyanlong.

It was the first time that Chi Mengli saw Four-Eyed Dragon in a community setting, which was consistent with Four-Eyed Dragon's positioning. He was a top student at St. John's University in the foreign land. If nothing had happened to the Xu family and Boss Xu had not been urgently recalled to Taipei, he would not have been ordered to come out and take a stand.

You should know that at that time Siyanlong had already been the third secretary of the Water Resources Agency. Because the first and second secretaries were both foreigners, it meant that Siyanlong was the chief Chinese secretary of the Water Resources Agency.

This guy runs Xinji just like running a company, always with profit as the goal.

The four-eyed dragon noticed Chi Mengli's gaze and showed a puzzled expression. Lin Qing, the chief steward of Xinji, who was standing behind the four-eyed dragon, quickly stepped forward and whispered something in the dragon's ear.

When Four-Eyed Dragon learned that the strange young man staring at him was the handsome Sheng who was very popular recently, he smiled and nodded at Chi Mengli.

Chi Mengli, who was smoking, took the Red Double Happiness cigarette out of his mouth slowly, stood up, and smiled back at Four-Eyed Dragon.

The Four-Eyed Dragon left quickly and headed for the box belonging to the leaders of the four major societies.

Most people have arrived, it's time to eat.

Chi Mengli did not have dinner, but was waiting for the meal at Taibai Seafood Restaurant in the evening. He wanted to try the Taibai cod and see if Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was still the best in Hong Kong.

Just as he expected, after Ninth Girl sent Four-Eyed Dragon into the box, she walked to the large gong that had been prepared in advance and knocked it three times vigorously.

"Bang! Bang! Bang."

The three gong sounds represent the official start of the Changhong Club.

The number gang members in front of the door of Taibai Seafood Restaurant immediately removed the aisle ladder.

Three long vans started up and blocked the road, not allowing anyone to approach.

Three or four hundred members of the Number Gang have surrounded the Taibai Seafood Restaurant, protecting the safety of the chefs and leaders on the ship.

A hundred meters away were the plainclothes officers from Organized Crime and Triad Bureau, West Kowloon Crime Squad, Intelligence Bureau, Criminal Intelligence Bureau, and Criminal Investigation Bureau.

More than a dozen sheriff-level uniformed officers with three pieces of wood hanging from their backs also followed the gangsters from the Number Gang in a silent confrontation.

The officers in these uniforms are the most experienced police chiefs in the Yau Tsim Mong District. They have been through hundreds of battles and have been fighting against gangsters all their lives.

Of course, some of the time is spent on collaboration.

Guo Guohao sat in the command vehicle, listening to the reports from his buddies. He looked nervous and did not dare to be careless in the slightest. After all, this was the annual Hongmen Conference. If there was any mistake, there would be a bad record in his file.

"Dang Dang Dang"

There was a knock on the door of the command vehicle. Guo Guohao took off his headphones, looked outside the vehicle, and found that it was A-zai standing outside the vehicle with two cups of milk tea.

"Promotions and salary increases are different. You, a stingy person, actually paid for milk tea out of your own pocket. If the sun hadn't set, I would have really thought about whether the sun rose from the west today."

After sitting for two hours, Guo Guohao felt like his waist was about to break. He stood up, pounded his waist hard a few times, and jumped out of the command vehicle.
