Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 275 52: Flower Sharing Club
The location of this fireworks display is very remote, on an uninhabited island in the New Territories.

The location is very remote, but it has a great reputation. After all, the police's last resort back then was to use this island to threaten the gang members, telling these fearless underworld bosses that if they didn't listen and cooperate, they would be sent to Shark Dim Sum Shop.

The representative sent by the Honolulu Hongmen Headquarters this time is Situ Tiangang. He would not know the story of the Shark Dim Sum Shop. It goes without saying that this must be Deng Qi's bad taste.

After receiving the notice, Shenxianjin called Chi Mengli and others and asked them to get ready and go to the Tianguang Teahouse at the New Territories Pier on time at five in the morning.

In fact, not only Shenxianjin received the notice, but the entire Hong Kong underworld received the notice, and all the red sticks who were qualified to participate in the fireworks show were making preparations.

Chi Mengli's preparation was simple. She just bought a set of Puma sportswear, took a hot bath, and had a nutritious breakfast. She waited until Hei Ahu and Bo Xidong arrived at the Sheraton Hotel before going to Tianguang Teahouse together.

After not seeing Hei Ah Hu for a while, this loser had a few more bruises on his face. Chi Mengli shook his head and said helplessly: "Ah Hu, every time I see you, you always have new bruises on your body. This is not good."

"Lao Fu is a well-known weakling. You robbed Temple Street and injured nine people, three of whom were beaten by the police. This really made the gang famous."

Hei Ah Hu subconsciously rubbed his face, smiled bitterly, and complained: "It's embarrassing when one's own people fight one's own people. Lianhua's pounce is really good, and everyone is fighting hard."

"Fuck off! I don't know how much money these idiots took from Lianhua!"

Chi Mengli didn't know how to describe Hei Ah Hu's waste. He shook his head, picked up the newspaper from his seat and read the latest news.

own people?
Lianhua's henchmen are no longer our own people, although the possibility of a fight between our own people is greater.

Hei Ah Hu glanced at Chi Mengli secretly, opened his mouth, thought for a long time before speaking: "Brother Sheng, I don't know what tricks E Zai En has played. All of Lao Fu's dozen gangs have sent out thugs. Jimi and I can't handle it anymore."

"We two brothers were beaten by one man, and it's enough that we can hold on until now."

"I took over half of Lianhua's business, and I also took over Temple Street East Street. Together with the business I had before, I set up a gang. Everyone inside and outside the gang was speechless."

The Temple Street Night Market is famous for its lucrative business in Hong Kong, with tourists coming here every month. No one can eat up the entire Temple Street, so it’s no big deal to quit while you’re ahead.

But the reason Hei Ah Hu has been able to hold on until now is all thanks to the help of the gang. To be more precise, it is Chi Mengli who supports him. Otherwise, the continuous battles and the bail money alone would have bankrupted him.

Whether he stops now or not all depends on whether Brother Sheng agrees. If he doesn’t agree, he has no choice but to continue fighting.

Chi Mengli did not have much idea about Temple Street. Although there were many ways to make money in Temple Street, most of them were small businesses. He was not very interested in them. However, if he wanted to manage Yau Ma Tei, he had to control the area in front and behind the Tin Hau Temple.

Hei Ah Hu set up a hall in Temple Street, which was just right to protect himself from wind and rain.

"With more than twenty venues and Temple Street, it would be enough to set up a hall."

"I still say the same thing, Ah Hu, I will support you to the end."

Chi Mengli put down the newspaper, his words were full of affirmation, he patted Hei Ah Hu on the shoulder, and continued to praise: "After looking at it all, you are still the most competitive. Lao Ding also praised you highly and said that you are a great talent."

Hearing Brother Sheng's praise, Hei Ah Hu, who had wanted to keep a low profile, could no longer hold back. He chuckled twice and said gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Sheng! Without Brother Sheng's cultivation, I wouldn't be where I am today."

Lao Ding, the immortal Jin, is busy with all kinds of affairs every day, and the number of times he sees Lao Ding is limited. If it weren't for Brother Sheng's help and words, how could he have caught Lao Ding's eye?

"We are all brothers. If you talk too much, it will affect our relationship."

Chi Mengli did not continue to be sentimental, but ended with a word about loyalty, telling him not to take it to heart.

The convoy drove forward and arrived in front of Tianguang Teahouse.

The area in front of Tianguang Teahouse is already filled with cars and vans, and the people from the Number Gang are directing traffic.

Xizai, who was also wearing a Puma sports suit, honked the car horn, then turned the steering wheel to the end, turned into the temporary parking lot, and then turned his head and said to Chi Mengli in the back seat: "Brother Sheng, we're here at Tianguang Teahouse!"

Chi Mengli rolled down the car window, looked around the parking lot, and found many familiar license plates. He then said, "Now that we're here, let's get out of the car." After saying that, he pushed open the car door and stepped out.

After getting off the car, Chi Mengli straightened his back and immediately became the focus of the temporary parking lot.

After all, the head of the Shuifang, Shenxianjin, has already said that the Shuifang is determined to win this time, and there is only one reason for this, and that is that handsome Sheng is the material for the double flower red stick.

Ever since the Number Gang produced the martial arts madman Dian Lao, the major banks have rarely produced double-flowered red sticks.

Shuifang has been gaining popularity in recent years. Although there is still a gap in strength between it and He Liansheng, Haohaobang and Xinji, it has distanced itself from less advanced societies such as Donglianshe, Yinglianshe and Dongying, and is the undisputed fourth largest society in Hong Kong.

People who are at the center of attention will become the center of attention wherever they go.

People are afraid of becoming famous just like pigs are afraid of becoming fat. Chi Mengli has always wanted to make a fortune quietly, but the reality does not allow it. Hei Ah Hu is the cannon he created, and he is the big cannon created by Shenxian Jin.

This is called praying mantis catching cicada, the oriole is behind!

There was envy, jealousy and resentment in the eyes looking at him. Chi Mengli was no longer surprised. Bo Xidong, Hei Ahu, Xizi and others got out of the car and stood behind him.

The Shui Fung Yau Ma Tei gang was now strong and powerful. When the gangsters from other gangs standing outside the Tian Guang Tea House saw the Shui Fung gang members arriving, they immediately started whispering to each other.

Chi Mengli no longer cared about the gossip. He took the lead and walked into the hall of Tianguang Teahouse. He found that many people had already arrived, including Gao Laofa and others. He immediately led them over and sat on the empty chairs.

"Good morning, Brother Fa."

"Call someone."

Chi Mengli said hello to Gao Laofa and asked the men behind him to call for help.

"Brother Fa!"

Spinach Dong, Hei Ahu, Xizi and Dutchzi greeted Gao Laofa perfunctorily.

Bocaidong, Hei Ah Hu, and Xizi were all familiar faces, only Hollandzi had never seen him before. Gao Laofa frowned, picked up the teapot, washed a teacup, put it in front of Chi Mengli, poured a cup of tea, and said, "New friend? Haven't seen him before?"

"Thank you! My good brother, introduced by an old friend. I can't find any way to make money recently, so I'm here to make money."

"Dutch, why don't you say hello to Brother Fa?"

Chi Mengli took a sip of hot tea. The weather has been getting colder recently, with the temperature in the early morning close to zero degrees. It was indeed very comfortable to drink a sip of hot tea.

"Hello, Brother Fa!"

The Dutch guy standing behind Chi Mengli immediately imitated the movements of American soldiers in American movies and performed an American military salute.

"Dutch, that's a good name. I'll remember it."

Gao Laofa nodded, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of hot tea into the cup, and continued to wait for others.

"Brother Fa, where are the others? You are an old hand, what tricks can you play with fireworks? Could it be that Deng Qi is crazy? Let's go to the New Territories for tea, shall we?"

Chi Mengli crossed his legs, took out a Double Happiness cigarette from his pocket, gave one to Gao Lao first, and then put one in his own mouth.

Gao Laofa was not arrogant. He picked up the lighter and lit the cigarette for Chi Mengli first before lighting the Double Happiness cigarette on his finger. He glanced at his own Jin Lao and said helplessly, "Blind Heng is not interested in fighting and killing."

"In half a month, there will be a motorcycle race in Haojiang, and Blind Heng's team will participate. He will definitely be late for the flower distribution meeting, but he will definitely show up when we land on the island."

"Baihua Snake, Lanmingde has arrived and is resurrecting in the van."

"As for Mawangjian, Xi B, Zhada hasn't arrived yet, but it should be here soon."

"Boxing Champion Sheng didn't show up, but his car is parked outside. He will definitely show up when he is supposed to."

Gao Laofa took a sip of hot tea to moisten his throat, and continued, "There are at least 800 members of the Xiangjiang Society, if not a thousand. If they all go to the island, they will definitely trample all the big blue crabs in the Shark Dim Sum Shop to death."

"The Flower and Cannon Society is divided into two parts, just like the Changhong Society. Flower refers to the division of flowers. There are many societies in Hong Kong, and the Red Sticks are countless. There are at least more than 300 Red Sticks attending the meeting today. Even if the sharpshooter Li Shuwen were alive, it would be impossible for them to fight endlessly."

"One against three hundred, whoever can do it, the Honolulu Hongmen headquarters will definitely crown this peerless hero as a double-flowered red stick."

"So, the Fireworks Club is divided into the Flower Distribution Club and the Financial Fireworks Club. The Flower Distribution Club is about getting red flowers. Those who get red flowers are eligible to go to the island, while those who don't get red flowers can choose to leave or go on board to watch the next bloody fight."

"As for how to get red flowers, it's very simple. The Hongmen representative draws lots. There are only two lots. If you draw the sky lot, it means you have thirty-six red flowers. If you draw the ground lot, you are unlucky, you have seventy-two flowers."

"One flower, one opponent, one flower, one society."

"And the rules for getting the red flower are very simple. The red flower is right there, and anyone can take it. As long as no one objects, you can take it. If someone objects, it's also very simple. Just have a fight."

Gao Laofa briefly introduced the rules of the flower-sharing meeting. He held a cigarette in his mouth and frowned as he watched more and more people come into the teahouse.

One against ten is difficult, but one against three hundred is already hellish difficulty and an impossible task.

After listening to Gao Laofa's introduction, Chi Mengli also understood how difficult it was to snatch Ding Caipao.

After waiting for ten minutes, Baihuashe and Lanmingde walked into the teahouse hall. They sat on the chairs and greeted Gao Laofa and Liangzaisheng, and everyone started to joke around.

"Brother Sheng, you've been stretching your hands too far lately, even poaching your brothers. You're being disloyal!"

After Lan Mingde sat down, he started firing at Chi Mengli.

Hearing crows cawing so early in the morning was really bad luck. Chi Mengli scratched his ears. He hadn't got Alzheimer's yet, so of course he knew what Lan Mingde was talking about, although he didn't pay attention to Bi Shiqiang's Angel Agency all the time.

But the fact that the rotten De came to the door proved that Bi Shiqiang was doing well. Some people would do business that would get them killed, but no one would do business that would lose money. "Brother De, what are you talking about? Poaching? You have so many girls, I can't poach them all! If the water room wants to say who is the playboy, Brother De, you are second, no one dares to say who is first."

"Don't be so fickle. Now we can't even be brothers anymore."

Talking rambling is Chi Mengli's forte. This is how one should behave, pretending to be ignorant while knowing the truth.

Ran Mingde, who wanted to get mad, was choked by Chi Mengli's clichéd flattery. He reorganized his words and said, "Ah Sheng, if you keep talking about irrelevant things, we won't be able to finish talking until dark."

"Snotlout Qiang is my henchman. He said he wanted to help you, so I asked him to go over and help you without saying anything. After all, we are all brothers and we should help each other. I, Ade, will never say a word."

"But I had something to do recently, so I sent someone to look for Bi Shiqiang. I never expected that Bi Shiqiang would switch jobs and give Ah Sheng a red seal, saying that he was now Ah Sheng's disciple and couldn't come back to help me."

"Brother Fa, it's normal for the henchmen to run around. Even if they are changing gears, just tell me and it won't be a big deal!"

"But isn't it a bit too much to be so sneaky like this?"

Lan Mingde recounted the whole story in detail, then looked at Gao Laofa, hoping that Gao Laofa would stand up and uphold justice.

Gao Laofa, who was sitting nearby, really didn't want to get involved in this mess. He was not stupid enough to know that Lan Mingde was not telling the whole truth. He was just a lackey and would be transferred to another post.

Lan Mingde was relentless in pursuit and lost his temper in public. There must be something hidden, and it was probably related to money.

"Brother De, Brother Sheng, we are going to grab Ding Caipao today. We are united in our purpose. We will talk about all the unhappiness later."

Even a judge cannot settle family disputes. Gao Laofa and Handsome Sheng are just nodding acquaintances, and their relationship with Lan Mingde is not that good either, although both of them have been the top horses of Shenxianjin and are also red sticks in To Kwa Wan.

But there are too many top horses in Shenxianjin, many of them have made a name for themselves, but even more of them have not.

Besides, the Lanmingde Gang has never been able to hold on, and he is sandwiched between the Xinji Number Gang, making it difficult for him to achieve anything.

Standing up for him is likely to be a losing business.

"Humph!"

Lan Mingde snorted coldly. They were all brothers from the same sect, but Gao Laofa actually told him to put the overall situation first. What a pity!
Transforming into the entertainment industry was a move that happened by accident and is dispensable, but as it is a way to make money, we definitely cannot let it go. We are not children anymore, so there is no need to engage in verbal battles.

There was no doubt in Chi Mengli's mind that Bi Shiqiang would not be handed over to him. His excuse was very simple, that is, Bi Shiqiang owed him some money and he needed to work to pay it back.

"Dang Dang Dang"

The sound of the gong attracted the attention of everyone present.

The gangsters from the Four Numbers Gang came out of the corridor carrying two large flower baskets and placed them in the center of the teahouse hall.

The two flower baskets are the same as what Gao Laofa said, one is more and one is less, implying the number of Tiangang and Disha.

Deng Qi, who had not shown up all this time, walked out from behind the door with Situ Tiangang, talking and laughing with each other. Ninth Girl and Four Eyes Da, who looked like he had a lot of filial piety characters on his face, followed behind.

"Oh my god, there are so many people coming."

"Ah Gang, after the fireworks are settled, you can return to Honolulu and tell the leader that the Hongmen in Hong Kong is developing very well, so that all the leaders can put their minds at ease."

"Alright! Stop being polite. We've been dealing with each other for years. So stop talking nonsense and invite the representatives to draw lots."

Deng Qi spoke a few words and then had someone bring up a wooden stick tube.

This wooden stick holder is very old. The painted surface has become mottled and fallen off, and there are only two wooden sticks in the holder.

Choosing between the two, Situ Tiangang stretched out his hand and pulled out one at random. There were two words engraved on the stick: Tiangang.

"The fortune has been drawn, Tiangang, thirty-six red flowers."

Situ Tiangang shouted loudly, held up the wooden stick with red head and black characters in both hands, and shook it left and right to show fairness.

"It's fate."

Deng Qi followed the rules, said something, waved his hand casually, and asked the Number Gang's men to take away the Disha flower basket.

The Number Gang was the host, and the Ninth Girl was the first to come out and took a red flower from the Tiangang flower basket.

"Hongfashan Loyalty Hall won the first prize, and ten people boarded the ship."

Seeing his precious daughter being the first to pick the red flower, Deng Qi smiled triumphantly and announced the mountain gate loudly.

After the number gang was over, He Liansheng's eldest brother Chengji stood up. Although the eldest brother Yuan looked unconvinced, he did not object. This must be because he had been taught a lesson.

Most of the people present were bigwigs in the gang, and at the very least they were good fighters. They all had sharp heads, and they all understood in their hearts that the next leader of He Liansheng should be Big Brother Cheng Nazha.

But the boss had already spoken, and he was not to be trusted. He didn't know how the shrewd Deng Bo and Guo Hua would handle this farce!

Lao Fu’s dual membership is one solution, but no matter whether it is Big Brother Cheng or Big Brother Yuan, neither will accept such a consolation prize. It looks like there will be some fun to watch.

"He Liansheng, get a red flower, and it will be red forever."

Seeing that Big Brother Cheng had already taken the red flower, Deng Qi shouted again.

There were thirty-six red flowers. The host took one, He Liansheng took one, and Xinji was not to be outdone. The person representing Xinji this time was Dao Yousheng, the son-in-law of Four-Eyed Dragon.

The Taoist friend stood up, walked to the front of the flower basket with a swagger, and took a red flower from the basket.

"The Chaozhou Association, take a flower, and it will bloom into wealth."

The three major societies have already taken away the red flower. During this process, although everyone disagreed and some even sneered and mocked them, no one stood up and said that the three major societies were not qualified.

What happens next is a bit subtle.

Although Yi Qun fell, Ya Qi did not send anyone to participate in this year's fireworks party, and even Changhonghui sent a few salted fish to participate. Yi Qun was out, and the Dragon and Tiger List of the police moved Shuifang up.

But no matter whether it is Dongying, Donglian or Lianyingshe, none of them recognize the damn Dragon and Tiger Gang.

Gao Laofa did not move because he had already given up the position of commander. He picked up the teapot, filled the cup in front of Chi Mengli with tea, and signaled that it was time to set out.

Picking up the teacup, Chi Mengli drank it all in one gulp, then stood up confidently. If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Shenxianjin has already helped him to make a name for himself, and he can't waste this old man's sincerity.

He could clearly feel that everyone's eyes were on him, but he was fearless. His back was straight like a javelin, and his steps were steady, with each step making a loud sound.

The malicious looks from all around were like a dense barrage of cold arrows, but he seemed not to notice them and did not even lift his eyelids. The aura around him was so fierce that no one dared to get close to him.

He did not look around, but just stared straight at the flower basket in front of him. He had experienced many scenes bigger than the current one, and his heart had long been calm. However, when he walked to the flower basket, he did not reach out his hand immediately. Instead, he turned around and looked at everyone present with cold eyes.

Too embarrassing!

The handsome guy wins, this dead loser is so arrogant!

The bigwigs and red sticks from various social organizations present were not fools. They immediately realized what Handsome Sheng was doing!
This guy is waiting for someone to voice his opposition!

Handsome Sheng is so confident that he actually ignores the red sticks present.

Donglian Society, which is similar in strength to Shuifang, was the first one that couldn't sit still. The handsome boy Sheng was able to come to the fore by using Donglian Society as a stepping stone and climbing up to his current position step by step.

The leader of the Donglian Society this time was Dadongjiu, a brain-eater who was not a big shot who would start a fight over a disagreement. He stopped the red sticks of the Donglian Society who wanted to stand up.

Hongtai, Dakouya and Dadongjiu who are dead know each other very well and can be ranked in the top ten in Donglian Society, but Liangzaisheng can handle both of them without even taking a breath.

In the Donglian Society, there are definitely some old-school red sticks who can compete with the handsome guys, but those who participate in the fireworks party and grab the Dingcai cannon are all new and popular people in the underworld.

Whether it is Big Brother Cheng, Big Brother Yuan, or Handsome Boy Sheng, they are all newcomers who have emerged in the past one or two years.

The Donglian Society did not move, and the people from Dongying, Lianying and Laofu did not act rashly.

The remaining gangs were not strong enough and dared not offend the water room, so they just watched the handsome guy win arrogantly.

Chi Mengli waited for about three minutes. Seeing that no one came forward to cause trouble for him, he deliberately raised his wrist and pretended to look at the time.

This was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, but the Red Sticks present could only be furious. They could stand up, but if they lost the fight, they would be embarrassed and would offend the Water Room for no reason, affecting their business.

After waiting for a full minute and seeing that no one stood up to oppose him taking the red flower, Chi Mengli shook his head helplessly. It was really like a big eagle giving birth to mung bean flies, and each generation was worse than the previous one.

Seeing that the clubs present were mostly small, the red sticks were just paper tigers, so Chi Mengli didn't waste precious time, stretched out his hand, and took a small red flower from the basket.

When you want to show your holiness before others, you must be complete.

After picking the little red flowers, Chi Mengli still stood there. Seeing that no one was willing to step forward, he walked back to the table in the bathroom and sat in the seat he had just sat in.

"The fourth red flower, belonging and happiness, blooming like a brocade!"
