Hong Kong variety show: I wanted to be a lawyer, but I became a big shot.

"Brother Yao, Lin Bei is just a scholar who can't even kill a chicken."

He spread his hands, looking helpless.

"If it weren't for my good-for-nothing cousin back then, I'd probably still be in college now."

"This fighting and killing was something I was forced to do out of desperation."

He paused here, glancing at Boss B with a seemingly casual look.

"Why doesn't the person who caused the trouble step forward to take responsibility?"

"It's not just that I'm being dragged down, it's that I'm being looked down upon."

"Truly, an incompetent general can lead to the downfall of an entire army."

boom!

"Lin Bei, that's enough!"

Boss B couldn't hold back any longer and slammed his hand hard on the table, making the teacup jump.

Jiang Tiansheng raised an eyebrow and reprimanded him sternly.

"Ah B!"

Big Brother B was startled, as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water. He quickly withdrew his hand and sat down, not daring to speak again.

Jiang Tiansheng turned his gaze to Lin Bei, his voice becoming deep.

"Uncle, the club is fair."

"Whatever it is, let's put it out there."

This is exactly what Lin Bei was waiting for.

He immediately sat up straight, and his expression became serious.

"Mr. Jiang, last night I sent out two hundred men just for Causeway Bay."

"Who knew we'd be ambushed by Axe-Hand on Nathan Road!"

"Life's tough in Mong Kok!"

He became more and more agitated as he spoke, his voice tinged with grief and indignation.

"Including this case, there have been about ten battles in the past two months."

Even the wealthiest landlords don't have surplus grain!

"Even when we ourselves were almost overwhelmed, we still insisted on sending troops to support Causeway Bay."

At this point, Lin Bei's tone became aggrieved again.

"Lin Bei doesn't expect Brother B to say anything thank you, but at least don't be sarcastic or cynical towards us loyal and meritorious contributors, okay?"

The entire conference room fell silent.

Everyone stared at Lin Bei in disbelief.

Do you want to listen to what you're saying?

You claimed that you were attacked by Axe Jun, but it turned out to be a sneak attack on your own troops who were sent to support Causeway Bay.

Everyone present was discerning; they all knew exactly what had happened last night.

How dare you just spout off like that?

Jiang Tiansheng coughed lightly, trying to ease the awkwardness in the room.

"So you mean you want the club to bear the losses this time?"

Lin Bei didn't answer directly, but instead took a document from Sha Qiang behind him and waved it in his hand.

"Each of our branches pays its dues every month, but for the past two months, I've felt that the dues have been paid unfairly!"

His voice gradually rose.

"According to the 30th oath of the Hongmen, brothers must share weal and woe and must not retreat in the face of battle. Anyone who violates this oath will be executed on the spot."

"My brothers from the Mong Kok branch did it!"

"But we also need to eat, we also need to make a living!"

"Now I can't even afford medical expenses or resettlement allowances, but I still pay my membership dues as usual."

Lin Bei looked directly at Jiang Tiansheng with a calm expression.

"We hope Mr. Chiang can understand the difficulties we face in Mong Kok."

Upon hearing this, many of the hall masters present secretly broke out in a cold sweat.

Especially Brother Chao, he didn't expect Lin Bei to be so bold as to blatantly ask Jiang Tiansheng for money.

Isn't this like pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth?

Jiang Tiansheng's expression changed several times.

He originally intended to take this opportunity to weaken Lin Bei, since the Mong Kok gang had recently shown too much strength, so much so that even he, as the gang leader, felt uneasy.

Unexpectedly, Lin Bei used this tactic of advancing as a form of retreat today.

If he, as the leader, only cares about collecting money and doesn't care about the lives of his subordinates.

If this gets out, how will he be able to convince the public in the future?

How can he then lead the entire Hung Hing?

Thinking of this, Jiang Tiansheng's facial muscles twitched, but he still managed to force a smile.

"Abei is right."

"The situation in places like the Mong Kok branch is obvious to everyone."

"It would be really unreasonable for the headquarters not to lend a helping hand at this time."

He turned to Chen Yao and gave him instructions.

"Ah Yao, all expenses for the brothers in the Mong Kok branch yesterday, including resettlement fees and medical expenses, were covered by the main branch!"

Chen Yao nodded immediately.

"Yes, Mr. Jiang."

While everyone was still wondering why Jiang Tiansheng was being so generous today, Boss B next to him stretched his neck like a giraffe and looked at Jiang Tiansheng with anticipation.

"Mr. Jiang..."

Jiang Tiansheng cursed inwardly.

What an idiot!

Lin Bei wants money because he has military merits.

You want some too?

I have already done more than enough by not punishing him.

You've been in two fights and lost both, and you still have the nerve to talk?

With so many hall masters watching, Jiang Tiansheng couldn't show favoritism, so he could only suppress his displeasure and speak.

"Yes, A-B's gang also suffered heavy losses in this attack."

"How about this..."

"The fees for Causeway Bay will be waived this month. Let's manage Causeway Bay well and avoid any more mistakes!"

Big Brother B's eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Jiang, I will definitely protect Causeway Bay and will not let you down!"

The other members of the church watched coldly as the master and servant sang in unison, secretly grumbling to themselves.

Real shrimp head.

The next part of the time was spent discussing the plan to counterattack Shinki.

Lin Bei remained silent throughout the entire process, refusing to participate in any discussion, leaving them to deliberate on their own.

Whenever someone asked him to do something, he would immediately use the excuse that he was exhausted after yesterday's battle to refuse.

This left Jiang Tiansheng and Chen Yao speechless.

You've got the name and the money, kid.

Why are you trying to portray us as victims now?

"Ah Bei, even if Mong Kok is severely weakened this time, you still need to quickly build up a team that can defend against external enemies."

Jiang Tiansheng said earnestly.

"We can't let ourselves sink like this. You have to understand that Mong Kok is a mixed bag, and many triads are eyeing our Hung Hing territory with covetous intent..."

He spouted a bunch of sanctimonious platitudes, but Lin Bei ignored them all.

"Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, I'll go back and recruit new soldiers after the meeting!"

Lin Bei patted his chest and assured him.

"We definitely won't let the club down!"

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Boss B, seemingly unintentionally.

He found the other person staring at him with a gloomy expression, their eyes seeming to want to tear a piece of flesh from his body.

This mad dog is really protective of its owner.

Lin Bei sneered inwardly and withdrew his gaze.

The meeting finally ended.

As soon as Lin Bei stepped out of the main hall, he heard Han Bin's voice behind him.

"Hey, why are you walking so fast?"

Lin Bei turned his head, a surprised expression on his face.

"Brother Bin, what advice do you have for me?"

Han Bin strode forward, patted Lin Bei on the shoulder, and said with a smile.

"We're all brothers from the same sect, there's no need for any instruction or guidance."

"You suffered heavy losses this time, and as your older brother, I can't bear to see it."

"Come on, I'll treat you to a nightclub tonight and have some fun. Bring along some of your buddies too."

"So that you, as the big boss, can at least show some pride!"

Lin Bei was slightly taken aback.
