Hong Kong variety show: I can boost loyalty, the most generous boss.

Chapter 263, Section 262: Fixing the game? Break his legs!
The first "Fight Back to School" was a great success, grossing 4300 million at the box office. Stephen Chow became a sensation across Asia once again. In the Giants movie, his salary was second only to Chow Shui-fat and Andy Lau, ranking third in the company, with a salary of 150 million for one film.

Giants Movies is striking while the iron is hot and plans to release a second sequel, "Fight Back to School 2", again directed by Chan Ka-sheung, with Stephen Chow and Ng Man-tat playing the lead and supporting roles, respectively.

"Boss, Stephen Chow thinks the pay is too low. He's come clean with me. The pay for this movie can't be less than 200 million."

"Otherwise, Stephen Chow will refuse to star in this movie!"

Liu Xing suddenly brought up something: after Zhou Xing became famous, he started to complain about his pay.

Yang Jun frowned, shrugged, and said:

"We're raising the pay! We're not heartless capitalists. Actors bring value to us, so a raise is only right."

Liu Xing also said somewhat indignantly:

"Boss, Stephen Chow was nurtured by our company. Without our Giants movie, would Stephen Chow be where he is today?"

"That ungrateful brat is despicable!"

Yang Jun, however, remained completely unmoved. Human desires are limitless, and it's normal for Stephen Chow's sudden rise to fame to inflate his ego.

"Alright, increase it to 200 million!"

Stephen Chow's acting skills are good, but his interpersonal skills are lacking, which explains why so many people in later generations criticize him for his poor character.

Yang Jun wasn't short of 50 yuan and readily agreed. Without Stephen Chow, what's the point of watching "Fight Back to School 2"? Stephen Chow still has value for now.

"Got it, boss!"

Liu Xing nodded, clearly still harboring strong opinions about Zhou Xingxing.

Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC).

Lu Zhilian submitted his resignation to his superior and packed his things, intending to leave the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC).

"Boss, are you really leaving? Seriously? You've already become the chief investigator?"

Zhang Guobiao looked incredulous. The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) is known for its high salaries. According to Lu Zhilian's rank, an annual salary of 50 HKD would put him firmly among the high-income earners in Hong Kong.

Lu Zhilian, however, said nonchalantly:

“I promised Mr. Yang that I would work for the Giant Group. I will no longer be your boss.”

What? Zhang Guobiao was stunned. Go work for Giant Group, go work for Yang Jun?
"why?"

Lu Zhilian shook his head but said nothing, and walked out of the Independent Commission Against Corruption without looking back.

He experienced a lot in Meisai, including killing people with his own hands, which greatly impacted his sense of self-worth.

What is right, and what is wrong? Protecting your loved ones is right; nothing else matters!

Lu Zhilian was extremely grateful to Yang Jun for saving his life. Upon returning to Hong Kong, he resigned and planned to work for the Giant Group.

At the entrance of the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), seven luxury cars were parked in a row, and Yang Jun personally came to pick up Lu Zhilian.

"Come on, I'll pick you up and take you out for dinner to welcome you back!"

Lu Zhilian paused for a moment, then smiled and said to Yang Jun:
"Okay! But what about these things I have?"

Lu Zhilian was carrying a large box of personal belongings, and Yang Jun asked Da Dong and others to help carry it onto the car.

"Come on, get in my car, let's have some red wine!"

Yang Jun called Lu Zhilian into the car, poured him a glass of red wine, and said with a smile:

"I have arranged for the best psychotherapist to counsel Zhizhi, and I believe she will be able to get through this soon!"

Yang Jun patted Lu Zhilian on the shoulder, indicating that he could rest assured that he had already made all the arrangements.

Lu Zhizhi is not physically injured, but she has suffered great psychological trauma. It will take a lot of time and money for her to recover.

Top-tier psychotherapists are expensive and difficult to book, but Yang Jun can easily solve these problems.

"Thank you!"

Lu Zhilian sincerely thanked him, acknowledging that Mr. Yang had indeed helped him a great deal.

Loyalty +10
Yang Jun said with a smile:

“I’m not helping you for nothing. You’ll have to work for me from now on. I plan to set up an anti-corruption department within the company.”

"From now on, you will be the director of my anti-corruption department, responsible for catching corrupt officials within the company and handing over serious cases to the judicial authorities."

Giant Empire Group is a vast business empire with over 10 employees, including hundreds of senior executives and thousands of middle managers. They could all potentially embezzle company assets or accept bribes from external companies, causing huge losses to the company.

According to Yang Jun's estimate, corruption has caused the Giant Empire Group to lose more than 10 billion yuan a year, making it imperative to rectify the bad practices within the group!
"Okay, how much power do you have?"

"You can investigate anyone except me!"

The Anti-Corruption Department is like the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Yang Jun directly delegated the greatest power to Lu Zhilian, who essentially possessed an imperial sword within the company and could investigate anyone.

Lu Zhilian nodded. This was no different from the work he did at the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), except that he used to serve foreigners, and now he was serving Yang Jun!
"Your annual salary is 80, and if you perform exceptionally well, you'll receive a year-end bonus!"

Yang Jun offered an annual salary of 80, which was higher than Lu Zhilian's salary at the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), making Lu Zhilian very satisfied.

That evening, Yang Jun invited the company's senior executives to a dinner at the Peninsula Hotel and introduced them to Lu Zhilian.

After returning, Yang Jun and Liang Yongqi took a car back to Victoria Peak.

"Brother Jun, is Lu Zhilian really reliable? Could he be an undercover agent for the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC)?"

As a senior lawyer, Leung Wing-kei was quick-witted, but the thought of Luk Chi-lim coming to the company and wielding great power made him a little apprehensive.

Yang Jun shrugged and said with a smile:

"Lu Zhilian is absolutely reliable. I feel very at ease with him in the company!"

Just kidding! Yang Jun just checked, and Lu Zhilian's loyalty is over 90, making him one of his loyal followers.

"Oh, all right!"

Liang Yongqi is also a director of the company and unconditionally supports the chairman, wholeheartedly supporting him.

"Let's go, I'll go to your room tonight!"

Liang Yongqi was secretly delighted; she could have Jun Ge all to herself that night? But when she thought about Jun Ge's prowess, she felt guilty.

"How about we invite JOJO along?"

Women need to know how to share, otherwise it will be embarrassing if they can't get out of bed the next day.

"Okay, fine!"

The next day, Yang Jun went to watch a football match at Kowloon Bay Park.

Kwai Tsing team vs. Causeway Bay team.

"Han Bin, I bet 30 on you. Is your team any good or not?"

Fire Bull, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, watched excitedly as the two football teams took to the field.

"Fire Bull, I bet even more than you? Damn, I placed a massive 200 million bet!"

Han Bin was more nervous than Huo Niu, because if he won the plane today, the seat would be his.

The plane was also gearing up, eager to become the governor, but back then he even dared to eat a spoon.

Yang Jun also arrived at the scene, sat at the front, and said to the bigwig behind him:
"We're all brothers, so let's keep it low-key and not hurt our friendship."

"Understood, boss!"

Yang Jun looked at the two teams on the field. He didn't expect Feizi to be so ruthless, spending 100 million to build a football team with several very talented players.

Han Bin went even further, hiring a head coach from Europe and giving them intensive training for 10 days, which led both teams to the finals!

Liu Xiong was also invited and couldn't help but cheer when he saw the exciting match on the field.

"Jun-ge, your club plays really well, just as good as professional players!"

On the field, the football players from both teams were highly motivated and fought fiercely, almost to the point of pulling out wrenches to engage in a brawl.

Yang Jun held a player list in his hand, checking off items from time to time, and said with a smile, "How about it, want to buy a team for fun?"

Liu Xiong shook his head and refused, saying:

"I'm not interested in hunky men, I want to invest in movies. Do you have any connections, Brother Jun?"

Yang Jun glanced at Liu Xiong. Another sucker had come to his door?
"Yes! My film company is short of investment, but don't even think about dating my actresses!"

Yang Jun was very cautious. Liu Xiong was notorious for his womanizing and had been involved with many actresses at TVB.

"Jun-ge eats the meat, I'll drink the soup~"

Liu Xiong said in a cheeky tone, raising his eyebrows.

"Get lost, I don't have your tricks."

Yang Jun refused outright. He thought Liu Xiong was dreaming; trying to seduce actresses from his film company?
Soon, the two teams were decided, with Han Bin's Kwai Tsing team defeating Airplane's Causeway Bay team 3-1.

"Brother Bin, you're treating us to dinner tonight at a five-star hotel."

Fire Bull roared excitedly; he had won the game too. Only Airplane looked unconvinced.

Yang Jun also congratulated Han Bin, saying with a smile:

"Ah Bin, you're the next boss, congratulations."

A peaceful transition means there's no need to fight or scramble for the seat; it'll be decided in a single football match.

Yang Jun looked at the defiant plane and said with a smile:

"Don't be discouraged, there'll be another chance next time!"

The plane's eyes lit up. Mr. Yang said I would have a chance next year. Does that mean I'll be relegated to the next year?

Yang Jun took out a list, handed it to the plane, and said to the plane:
"These players are quite talented. Tell them to report to the senior team tomorrow."

"Okay, boss!"

Yang Jun also selected several players from Han Bin's team. After this period of selection, the large team now has 24 players, with both starters and substitutes fully recruited.

Yang Jun summoned Han Bin and discussed with him the succession ceremony for the new leader. This ceremony should be more grand, and the Wong Tai Sin Temple should be booked for the event.

"The company has expanded its overseas business quite a bit, so we'll make this ceremony a grand affair. The company will cover all the expenses and give you a spectacular one!"

Han Bin was secretly delighted; who wouldn't want to be the head of the household and enjoy the prestige?

In the past two years, the gang has not only established a presence in North America, but also set up a branch in Taiwan. Now that Han Bin has become the leader, let's have some fun together!
"Brother Jun, thank you for your support!"

"You're too kind, we're all brothers~"

West Kowloon Organisation (ODI)

Hua Sheng rushed to Ma Jun's office and said to Ma Jun:
“I’ve heard that the person in charge of Wo Luen Shing has been decided: Han Bin from Kwai Tsing.”

What? It's settled so quickly?

Ma Jun asked incredulously:
"So fast? No objections from the other gang leaders?"

Hua Sheng sighed and said to Ma Jun;
"It was Handsome Jun's idea to elect a leader through a football match; whoever wins becomes the boss."

Ma Jun was speechless. Was the selection of the leader so hasty? Was it like choosing a leader in football?
This is outrageous! Are these organizations even trying to get involved in the sports world?
“Right now, Wo Shing is all under the thumb of Handsome Chun, and Han Bin is just a puppet. Keep an eye on them.”

"Yes, sir!"

Ten days later, Yang Jun went to watch the first game of the Dazhong team, which was against the Xiangjiang strong team Jinggong team. The two teams played at the Xiangjiang Stadium.

The Jinggong team has won the Hong Kong Football League championship twice, ranking among the top three out of twelve teams.

There were quite a few fans at the scene. Huo Yingdong and Liu Xiong came to watch the game because it was the first game for the Dazhong team.

"Brother Jun, I've placed a 30 bet on the big team to win."

Liu Xiong said in a sly, obsequious tone.

Yang Jun did not gamble on football; he was always the bookmaker and generally did not participate in the matches.

In reality, unless he bought a football team, he rarely watches football matches, so the authenticity is questionable!
Players from both teams entered the field, and after a fierce competition, the team with more shots on goal had the advantage.

"Ah Jun, not bad! Your team's offensive rhythm is excellent!"

With 60 minutes played, the score was tied 1-1. The large team's attack was sharp, but the goalkeeper...
"Holy crap! What's going on? Is the goalkeeper asleep?"

The goalkeeper of the large team made a major mistake, and the striker of the Seiko team easily sent the ball into the goal.

The large team trailed Jinggong 1-2, but in the 80th minute, the large team launched a furious attack, bringing the score to a 2-2 tie.

In overtime, neither side managed to score, and the match ended in a 2-2 tie.

"Not bad, Ah Jun, you managed to tie with the Jinggong team, you guys have a chance to win the championship!"

Huo Yingdong is quite happy. It seems that the league's level has improved this year, which is a gratifying thing.

Yang Jun looked at goalkeeper Jiang Donghao with suspicion, wondering if the kid was deliberately throwing the game.

Liu Xiong lost money and cursed as he said:
"Brother Jun, this goalkeeper is terrible, you should fire him!"

Yang Jun's face darkened, and he said coldly:
"Firing him would be too lenient on him!"

"Wow!" Liu Xiong's lips twitched. The gang leader was ruthless. If they didn't play well, he would just throw the players into the sea?
It was terrifying. Liu Xiong was a little scared. Although he usually swore a lot, he rarely used gang tactics against people.

"You can go back now. I'll invite you to have tea another day!"

After sending Liu Xiong back, Yang Jun quietly instructed Da Dong:
"Go follow Jiang Donghao and see if he's involved in gambling on football matches."

Yang Jun observed for a long time and found that Jiang Donghao was just going through the motions the whole time, which was very different from his usual training. It was very likely that he was throwing the game.

"Yes, boss!"

After finishing his soccer game, Jiang Donghao didn't go home. Instead, he went to an office building in Mong Kok and came out carrying a bag.

He's struck it rich! Jiang Donghao bet his entire fortune of 60 yuan on a draw between the two teams and won 180 million yuan.

"Haha! Fixing matches really is the way to make money!"

With a monthly salary of only 2.3 yuan, isn't all this hard training just to earn money?

Jiang Donghao carried the money, planning to call a few friends and go to a nightclub to have some fun that night!
"Jiang Donghao, where did you get so much money?"

With a toothpick dangling from his mouth, Da Dong surrounded Jiang Donghao with about a dozen men in suits, and asked with a sinister grin.

Jiang Donghao's expression changed drastically. He recognized Da Dong as Mr. Yang's bodyguard and stammered:
"This is what I earned, from doing odd jobs~"

Da Dong glanced at the bulging handbag and sneered:
"Are you kidding me? What kind of job do you have? You couldn't earn this much money even if you sold your ass!"

"You traitor, come back with me to see Mr. Yang!"

Jiang Donghao grabbed his briefcase and tried to run away, but was kicked to the ground by one of his underlings and then forcibly dragged into a car by four of them.

Yang Jun had already gathered all the team members, including the coaches, but no one knew why the boss had called them together.

Soon, Jiang Donghao was brought in by two henchmen, along with a briefcase.

"Jiang Donghao, you traitor! You've been rigging the game, throwing it, and deliberately losing!"

Da Dong kicked Jiang Donghao to the ground, then picked him up, grabbed him by the collar, and cursed at him.

Jiang Donghao was a little unconvinced and cursed at Da Dong:

"So what if they fix the game? At worst, I'll quit. I'll just resign."

"Hitting me is illegal, and I can call the police!"

Oh my god, are you trying to play hard to get with me?
How dare he call the police? Da Dong just wanted to beat this bastard to a pulp.

Yang Jun laughed, exhaled a puff of his cigar, and said coldly:
"Fraudulent match-fixing? Break his legs!"

The moment the words left his mouth, the players inside were stunned, dumbfounded. A broken leg? Really?
