Hong Kong film: As a boss, I use money to make decisions.

"Ah Da is joking!"

Lin Xiaoru simply echoed the sentiment and then pulled up a chair to sit down next to her.

He had his own reasons for having Cheng Rongguang and Da D say those things last night.

Unlike the group of illiterate people in the club who hadn't received much formal education, Lin Xiaoru still remembers a quote from Mr. Zhou Shuren—

"For example, if you say this room is too dark and we need to open a window here, everyone will definitely object. But if you advocate tearing down the roof, they will mediate and agree to open a window."

Lin Xiaoru knew that Big D was used to working at Wo Luen Shing Wai. This guy was all bark and no bite. He only asked Cheng Rongguang to give him a few words of advice. Big D would probably still find ways to retaliate against him.

Either way, he'd offend them. If he were to make them come to his door to apologize to him, a newcomer to the Wo Luen Shing family, he'd have to find a compromise and ask Chuen Po to act as a mediator.

He took the opportunity to wipe it off, and although he offended Big D, he still owed Chuanbao a favor.

"Hey, I'm not trying to discourage you, but I'm not trying to be cynical."

Your younger brother bypassed the triads this time and went directly to his boss to make decisions. I'm afraid he's gotten himself into big trouble this time.

Who is Big D? He's vengeful and holds grudges. The current gang leader is all praising him, but I'm afraid he'll make things difficult for your little brother later!

Longgen, who was standing nearby, played a card and then chimed in with a comment.

Chuanbao scoffed.

"Longgen, I think you're overthinking it."

No matter how big a mess my younger brother makes, as his boss, I have to cover for him.

Next year, when we elect a leader, Big D will still be counting on our votes; he won't do anything reckless!

Wow! You're so lucky! At your age, you still have such an outstanding younger brother.

Hearing that Chuanbao was so supportive of Lin Xiaoru, Longgen couldn't help but feel moved.

During a break while receiving the cards, he took a puff from his pipe and couldn't help but sigh.

"Unlike me, I'm old and blind, and at my age I helped Guan Zisen, this good-for-nothing, rise to power."

"He's a compulsive gambler, a hopeless gambler, and his family fortune in Sham Shui Po is doomed to be squandered!"

"Don't say that. Guan Zai Sen's younger brother, what's his name... Jimmy? I think he's pretty good."

He started by selling pirated VCDs, and now half of Shanghai's streets are lined with his prostitutes. Give him a good talking-to, he could be his successor!

"Hehe, that's what I think too. To tell you the truth, if Jimmy wasn't keeping an eye on things for me, I probably wouldn't even have time to come out and play a few rounds of mahjong with you!"

Chuanbao and Longgen chatted back and forth, praising each other's younger brothers, which Lin Xiaoru found quite boring.

Just as I was about to find an excuse to leave, I suddenly saw the tall guy across from me spread out his cards.

Sorry, I messed up again!

"Uncle, since you're already here, let's talk about something serious."

"overtake!"

Chuanbao angrily pushed his cards aside, then pointed to Lin Xiaoru next to him.

"Hey Gao, we old guys are out of touch with the times. When it comes to business, the young people have to call the shots."

"If you have something to say, go and talk to Ah Xiao yourself."

Lin Xiaoru frowned. No wonder Gao Lao came all the way from the countryside early in the morning to play mahjong with friends. It turned out he had a purpose.

Seeing that Chuanbao had given up, Gao Lao smiled and looked at Lin Xiaoru.

"Young man, you should recognize me, shouldn't you?"

Lin Xiaoru simply nodded, not giving Gao Lao a particularly friendly look.

On the surface, a community is a place where people talk about interpersonal relationships, but in the end, it all comes down to whoever has the bigger fist.

Gao Lao is said to be a leader in Yuen Long, but there's really not much to gain in a rural place like Yuen Long. He's probably the poorest of the nine districts.

He wasn't some uncle or elder sitting in the Senate. Judging from Chuanbao's words, he wanted a share of her business. Naturally, Lin Xiaoru couldn't be bothered to give him face.

Seeing that Lin Xiaoru was giving him the cold shoulder, Gao Lao was taken aback, but quickly continued to speak.

"I heard you took over your boss's entire team. Looks like you have big ambitions, wanting to build a professional engineering team?"

"Hey boss, we're all brothers, just say what you want to say."

"Are you asking me all these questions to play matchmaker for me?"

"Young people are just straightforward. Okay, I won't keep you in suspense any longer."

Here's the thing: a while ago, one of my gambling dens was raided by the police, and more than a dozen of my men were locked up.

The bail alone will be around 200,000 yuan. Because I recently invested in some projects, I'm a little short on cash, so…”

At this point, the tall man couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and touched his nose, while the other three remained calm and composed, as if they were already used to this kind of scene.

Wo Luen Shing is truly poor, the most down-on-his-luck triad. They're so poor that even a prestigious triad like 482 has to beg a newly rich 49 for a measly 200,000 dollars.

"Is that all? Just write a receipt, and we'll send someone over to collect the money later!"

Lin Xiaoru couldn't help but laugh. He originally thought that Gao Lao was going to take advantage of his position as the district leader to make a quick buck on his project, but it turned out that he just wanted to borrow a little money to spend.

Whether the money will be returned is another matter, but the favor has been done.

The string of explosions then opened.

"Brother Gao, if my younger brother ever lands a new project in the New Territories and needs help from the villagers in Yuen Long, you absolutely can't just stand by and do nothing!"

"That's for sure! Damn, the moment I saw Ah Xiao, I could tell he had a commanding presence and was definitely cut out for big business!"

"If you ever need anything in Yuen Long, just say the word, and I, Tall, will back you up!"

The tall man grinned from ear to ear at how easily he got the money.

……

Inside a tea restaurant on Park Street.

Lam Wai-lok, the leader of Wo Luen Shing in Jordan, was holding a Coke bottle, looking at the bustling traffic on Jordan Road through the glass curtain wall of the restaurant, lost in thought.

His confidant, Aze, entered the restaurant and sat down opposite Lin Huai Le. Seeing that Lin Huai Le was alone, he then spoke.

"Brother Le, everything's clear now. Big D was indeed outmaneuvered by that little guy."

This morning, I already asked Chuanbao to act as a lobbyist.

Lin Huai Le bit the straw and sucked the empty Coke bottle with a "squeaking" sound.

He only spoke calmly after drinking all the soda in the bottle.

"I know, Fire Bull has already called and told me."

Ah Ze, what's the deal with this guy, Chuan Bao?

As the only person who publicly declared that he would compete with Big D for the position of leader next year, Lin Huai-le knew that he was simply not up to the task of going head-to-head with Big D.

Therefore, Lin Huai-le paid special attention to everything that happened around Big D.

Aze replied, "I've found out everything. Cheng Rongguang, the head of Da D's Rice Restaurant, lost a child a couple of days ago."

Lin Xiaoru helped him find this kid, and Cheng Rongguang, out of gratitude, stepped in to deal with Big D!

Aze explained all the information he had found to Lin Huai Le in great detail, and Lin Huai Le's brows furrowed more and more as he listened.

After a long pause, he spoke again.

"Do you think Big D should just let this go?"

"It's hard to say. Big D still has to give Cheng Rongguang face!"

"Then I'll give him a push!"

Lin Huaiyue's face turned cold as he spoke.

"Arrange for a few clever young men to go out and spread the word, and first, make sure to spread the word that Big D has backed down."

Knowing Big D as I do, if he loses face, he'll definitely bite people like a mad dog.

If we completely offend the Chuanbao faction, I can still step in to defend them and support them once.

"At least make sure this ballot gets voted on and ends up in my hands next year!"

As Lin Huai-le's right-hand man and strategist, A-ze did not rush to respond.

Instead, he pondered for a long time before offering his own opinion.

"Brother Le, I'm afraid things won't go so smoothly."

Cheng Rongguang left his concubine on Zhihe Street, and Big D was hesitant to act rashly. Even if he wanted to settle scores later, he had to consider Cheng Rongguang's feelings.

"What you can think of, Big D can naturally think of too."

I guarantee that, in order to prevent Cheng Rongguang from finding fault with him, he will first get rid of this woman and accuse Lin Xiaoru of incompetence in front of his boss.

At this point, Lin Huai Le's eyes became increasingly sinister.

"I have a backup plan. You have someone keep an eye on Big D. Once he gets rid of this woman, you find a way to kill her!"

Once this woman dies, Big D's side will definitely fight Chuanbao's side to the death.

The more he makes a scene, the better it is for me!

Furthermore, we can use this incident as leverage against Big D. Just think, if Cheng Rongguang, or Big D's backers, knew that he even dared to lay hands on the water pipes' mistresses, do you think he would still be able to maintain his monogamous lifestyle in Tsuen Wan?!

Even though Aze had followed Lin Huai Le around for so many years, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine at this moment.

"Brother Le, isn't this a bit too much?"

"What's so excessive? Cheng Rongguang isn't my boss!"

Ah Ze, I've taught you so many times, you can't be soft-hearted when you're out in the world!

In Jordan, I run a business that involves charging tea fees, valet parking, and garbage transportation.

What kind of business does Big D run? If the New Territories are developed for a few more years, I'm afraid I won't even be qualified to wear his shoes!

Lin Huaiyue sat up straight, his expression once again appearing vacant, as if he were muttering to himself.

"I've waited so many years, and finally Uncle Deng is willing to support me this once. I can't wait any longer!"

Uncle Deng is so old, he has trouble even walking now, and it's hard to say how many more years he has left. If he dies, I'm afraid I'll never be able to leave Jordan in my lifetime!
