Hong Kong variety show: My Boss, Thirteen Sister

"Prince!"

"Dinosaur!"

"Ah Lai!!" The others nodded in unison to Jiang Lai.

"Jiang Zai, are you really planning to leave Hung Hing?" Thirteen Sister asked bluntly.

Jiang Lai nodded, smiled slightly, and said calmly, "Sisters, please come in and sit down before we talk!"

Thirteen Sister gazed at Jiang Lai, remained silent for a moment, and then nodded gently.

Jiang invited the group into the room and seated them on the sofa.

His office was large enough that, while it wasn't like Wang Bao's office where one could play golf indoors, it was spacious enough that a dozen people could sit on the luxurious sofa without feeling crowded!

"Make a few cups of tea!" After Thirteen Sister and Han Bin sat down, Jiang Lai simply leaned back on the sofa next to them and gave the order to the underlings at the door.

"Okay, Brother Lai!" The henchman at the door nodded and walked outside.

The door was gently closed, and everyone's eyes turned to Jiang Lai.

Jiang Lai calmly took out a cigarette, lit it, and then placed the cigarette pack on the table.

We're all on the same side, so take what you want!

Inhale! Exhale!

Jiang Lai took a deep breath, slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, gently flicked off the ash, and calmly said, "Sister, things have come to this, I won't say anything more."

Jiang Lai's voice also carried a hint of helplessness. According to his plan, now was not the time to withdraw from Hung Hing, but it didn't matter now.

"You've all seen Jiang Tiansheng's attitude."

Jiang Lai continued speaking to the group, "This meeting is clearly aimed at me."

“Since he’s going to do this, I have no choice but to leave Hung Hing.” Jiang Lai shrugged, but a look of determination and resolve appeared on his face.

"Jiangzi, do you want to reconsider?" Thirteen Sister said softly.

Jiang Lai smiled and shook his head. "Sister Mei, you don't need to worry about me. I've made up my mind. Leaving Hung Hing might be a new beginning for me."

"After you left, Jiang Tiansheng announced that you had betrayed Hung Hing and said he would lead the attack on you!!" Han Bin said to Jiang with a solemn expression, paused, and then added, "I feel he really means it!"

Ah!

Jiang Lai scoffed at this and said nonchalantly, "So what if they're serious? Let them fight!"

After saying that, Jiang Lai looked at Thirteen Sister and teased, "Sister Sister, you won't hit me, will you?"

Thirteen Sister rolled her eyes at him, annoyed, and said fiercely, "Hmph, watch out or I'll beat you to death!!"

"Haha!" Jiang Lai laughed loudly upon seeing this, flicked his finger, and the cigarette butt landed precisely in the ashtray.

Thirteen Sister showed a hint of helplessness. She truly regarded Jiang Lai as her own younger brother and didn't want him to encounter any danger.

Thirteen Sister and Han Bin could easily see through Jiang Tiansheng's deliberate targeting.

"No jokes, what are your plans?" Thirteen Sister asked cautiously, seeing that Jiang Lai had made up his mind.

Jiang Lai also stopped smiling and replied with a serious expression: "Since the Hung Hing banner cannot accommodate me, then I will raise my own banner!"

"Raise a flag?" Thirteen Sister asked in surprise.

"You want to start from scratch?" the dinosaur interjected.

"Yes!" Jiang Lai nodded and continued, "It's always better to be your own boss than to be dependent on others!"

"Have you decided which prefix to use?" Han Bin asked again upon hearing this.

He meant to ask Jiang Lai, since he wanted to start anew, had he considered which faction he should align himself with?

The terms "character prefix" and "triads" are not the same. After the dissolution of the Hong Kong triads, they became various groups with different character prefixes, such as "Wo", "Tung", "Tung", "Lian", "Hung", "Chuan", "Teochew", and so on.

For example, Hung Hing and Hung Tai belong to the Hung family name, while Wo Luen Shing and Wo Kee belong to the Wo family name.

A "character" can be understood as a faction. Under a single character, there may be multiple societies. These societies do not usually have much interaction, but sometimes they fight each other for interests.

However, no matter how much infighting occurs within their own ranks, when other factions "come to their doorstep," the gangs under the same title will unite against them and "drive them out."

Chapter 178 Jiangmeng

Since Jiang Lai wants to raise the flag, someone will inevitably try to steal it.

According to the rules of the underworld, as long as Jiang Lai announces the establishment of his territory, any gang can come and take it down within three days. In other words, it's a matter of seizing territory, and whoever seizes it will own it.

However, if Jiang were to join a certain gang, at least according to the rules of the underworld, the gang under that gang would generally not intervene, but might even provide some assistance.

After all, there are countless triads in Hong Kong, and there are precedents of people leaving a triad and starting anew. If you want to establish a new organization, you will generally choose a triad to join.

That's why Han Bin asked Jiang Lai if he had decided on which prefix to use.

Jiang Lai slowly picked up his teacup, took a sip, then put the cup down, looked at Han Bin, and said calmly, "Who says... that setting up a flag must involve joining a 'character'?"

Joining the prefix might seem like a good choice to others, but for Jiang Lai, it's just adding another constraint.

To put it bluntly, in this world, what matters most is strength. If you're not strong enough, what good is it to join a gang?

Just in time, Jiang Tiansheng wanted to make a move against him, and Jiang Lai also wanted to take this opportunity to see which monsters and demons would jump out, so he could deal with them all at once.

Han Bin frowned slightly upon hearing this, staring at Jiang Lai cautiously and said, "Jiang Lai, if you want to start a new gang, not joining a faction is no joke!"

Han Bin knew how difficult it was to set up a flag, after all, he had had the same idea back then, but before he could set up the flag, Jiang Tiansheng intercepted it in advance.

Jiang Lai seemed to see through Han Bin's thoughts. He smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Han Bin glanced at Jiang Lai thoughtfully, then said nothing more.

"Jiang Zai, since you're planning to start a new gang, have you thought of a name for it?" Thirteen Sister asked Jiang Lai.

Hearing Thirteen Sister's words, the others also looked at Jiang Lai with curiosity, including Abu and the others, all of whom focused their attention on Jiang Lai.

Jiang Lai pondered for a moment, then, under everyone's gaze, calmly replied, "Jiang Alliance!"

(I originally wanted to call it Jiangzuo Alliance, but I was afraid of infringing on copyright.)

Jiangmeng!

This was a decision Jiang Lai made after careful consideration, and the character "Jiang" naturally comes from the beginning of his name.

As for the word "alliance," it has a specific meaning. An alliance actually refers to a union between groups. Often, alliances are unions based on certain agreements.

"Meng" means alliance or ally.

In an alliance, apart from the leader, the status of the other leaders is basically equal!

Jiang Lai named the organization Jiang Meng, which, while seemingly just a name for the organization, actually carries the implication of pioneering.

Jiang Lai originally intended to name it Jiangmen, but the suffix "Men" is not something that an ordinary organization can handle.

Even if Jiang Lai is strong now, he can't bear the weight of this "gate".

Perhaps only after he has swept away all the triad forces in Hong Kong and gained considerable strength in various international fields can he officially rename his organization "Jiangmen"!

"Jiang Lai, are you serious about helping me go back to Tsim Sha Tsui?" Just as everyone was stunned by the name Jiang Lai mentioned, the prince suddenly stood up and asked.

Jiang Lai looked up at the Crown Prince!

The crown prince was staring at him with a serious expression.

After Jiang said the name "Jiang Alliance," a glint flashed in the Crown Prince's eyes, as if he instantly understood something.

Thirteen Sister, Han Bin, and Dinosaur looked at the Crown Prince with puzzled expressions.

I don't know what the Crown Prince meant by asking Jiang about things in Tsim Sha Tsui at this time.

"Of course!" Jiang Lai said solemnly, looking at the Crown Prince.

No matter who it's given to, he's going to take this land in Tsim Sha Tsui back!

However, Jiang Lai also noticed a detail.

Normally, the Crown Prince would call him "Alai," but just now the Crown Prince called him by his full name.

Based on the Crown Prince's question and tone, Jiang Lai had a rough guess in his mind!

"Alright, in that case, I also announce my withdrawal from Hung Hing and my application to join the Jiang Alliance!"

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this and turned to look at the Crown Prince. Thirteen Sister's pupils dilated slightly.

However, the Crown Prince completely disregarded the reactions of others and continued to stare at Jiang Lai, asking, "I wonder if Alliance Leader Jiang would be willing to take me in?"

He made the decision after careful consideration.

After all, he has lost his homeland and has neither territory nor manpower under his command. It is almost impossible for him to stand up again on his own.

Therefore, he had to make a choice between Jiang Tiansheng and Jiang Lai.

After weighing the two options carefully, the Crown Prince ultimately chose Jiang Lai.

Just as Jiang Lai said when he left the Hung Hing meeting, Jiang Tiansheng is not lacking in methods, but he lacks a certain vision!

In comparison, he had a higher opinion of Jiang Lai's abilities and ambitions!

Jiang looked at the Crown Prince, a slight smile playing on his lips, "The door to the Jiang Alliance will always be open for you."

The Crown Prince laughed, a hearty laugh, and Jiang Lai also raised the corners of his mouth and laughed as well.

Their laughter echoed in the room. Thirteen Sister pondered, while Han Bin and Dinosaur looked at each other in bewilderment.

After a long pause, Thirteen Sister bit her lip, as if she had made up her mind, and stared at Jiang Lai, saying, "Jiang, I'm joining the Jiang Alliance too!"

Jiang Lai hadn't even had a chance to speak!

Han Bin instinctively exclaimed, "Thirteenth Sister!"

Thirteen Sister looked at Han Bin with a serious expression and asked, "Han Bin, now that Jiang Zai and Prince have left Hung Hing, will Jiang Tiansheng still trust me?"

"Anyway, I definitely won't help him deal with Jiang Zai!"

"If that's the case, is there any need for me to stay in Hung Hing?"

"This..." Han Bin was speechless, but he had no reason to refute it. He had to admit that what Thirteen Sister said was true.

Even he would probably be suspected by Jiang Tiansheng!

"But...I..." Han Bin hesitated, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.
