Hong Kong Variety Show: Let you eat melons, eat melons on your sister-in-law

Chapter 90 "90" Opens the Hall, Paparazzi
This lavish feast of dividing up Hongtai finally came to an end three days later.

With the destruction of Hung Tai's last branch, the Hung Tai triad ceased to exist in Hong Kong.

And this flag was essentially pulled down.

However, such things happen from time to time, after all, Hongtai is a sunset club!

It's not surprising that several sunset clubs disappear every year.

Even the profession of gangster is already a sunset industry.

Therefore, Lin Yao hesitated when Deng Wei and others were invited by him to open a branch in Yau Ma Tei.

“Ah Yao, you have money, manpower, and territory now, what are you hesitating for?” Chuiji asked directly.

Longgen also tried to persuade him: "You may not want to take the position, but your underlings all do."

Unlike Chuiji and Deng Wei, Longgen genuinely cared about Lin Yao.

Lin Yao said somewhat helplessly, "My Yau Ma Tei and Shek Lung Street are only three streets. Is that enough to open a branch?"

"Why not?" Deng Wei said directly, "Look at Jordan, it's only two streets away, isn't it? The most important thing is whether you can protect it!"

"Your swift and decisive actions this time have eliminated Piyanmei and brought down Hongtai's banner. Now, who in the martial arts world doesn't know your name?"

Seeing that Deng Wei had brought up Lin Huai Le, Lin Yao had no other choice but to say, "Fine!"

"However, I don't plan on having a big celebration; let's keep it simple!"

In the past, when a community organization opened a new branch, it would open its main gate.

Firstly, it's for the sake of tradition, and secondly, it's for the sake of face.

However, after entering the 1990s, those so-called rules were no longer applicable.

Especially in terms of restraining gangsters, we can see that the bottom line of these gangsters in Hong Kong is getting lower and lower.

Take Hung Hing for example, the leaders and bosses of the organization changed hands frequently, which was quite outrageous.

Therefore, those so-called red tapes are no longer valued by many people.

They value money more than anything else.

Hearing Lin Yao agree, Deng Wei didn't mind: "No problem, as long as you agree!"

"By the way, Yao-zai, Wei Jixiang, one of your men, is quite formidable this time. You haven't officially recruited him yet, have you? Why not just have him suddenly become a big shot?" Chui-ji chimed in, "And I heard that Jimmy is also one of your right-hand men? Why don't you both join him?"

Lin Yao's expression was somewhat strange; it seemed that these people were particularly concerned about his affairs!
Which star should I choose? Could it be that that old bastard Deng Wei is trying to push me to be chosen as the leader?

Big D and Lam Wai-lok were already enough to turn Wo Luen Shing into a complete mess, and I didn't want to get involved in all this trouble.

Besides, what's so great about the head of Wo Luen Shing?
The time frame is short and the power is minimal; Lin Yaocai doesn't care about it!

Therefore, Lin Yao agreed to open a branch of the gang and also agreed to give his henchmen official positions.

However, Lin Yao remained silent about everything that happened afterward.

After the agreement was reached, Chuiji asked Lin Yao to choose an auspicious day and announce it to the world, while also appointing Wei Jixiang, Jimmy, and others to official positions.

After reaching an agreement, Lin Yao helped Long Gen into the car.

"Uncle Longgen, why are you trying to persuade me too? You know this isn't my thing!" Lin Yao said helplessly.

Longgen said calmly, "Although I don't know what Deng Wei and the others are up to, this time it's really for your own good!"

"If you don't recruit people or expand your territory, how you play the game is your own business. But once you've grown big, you have to consider other things!"

“Your subordinates might not think much of it at first, but what about after a while? Won't they start to complain? Do you think everyone is like Jimmy, wholeheartedly helping you?”

Lin Yao found it somewhat amusing; clearly, Uncle Longgen was overthinking things.

With the divine skill of "Eye of Insight," who wouldn't fear their subordinates betraying them?

However, Uncle Longgen meant well, and Lin Yao wouldn't argue with him.

Since Lin Yao took Jimmy away, Shanghai Street has been in some chaos.

After all, that bastard Guan Zai Sen goes crazy every now and then, and Uncle Long Gen has to clean up the mess.

Seeing the state of the money, Lin Yao offered, "How about I have Jimmy come back?"

"No need!" Longgen snorted and said, "Let that bastard Guan Zisen do what he wants. I want to see what his fate will be."

Since Longgen wouldn't let him get involved, Lin Yao had no choice but to give up.

After sending the dragon root back, Lin Yao returned to his own territory.

Right now, Jimmy, Wai Cheung-hang, and the Four Knife Masters are having a meeting.

The two streets they occupied were entirely Hung Tai's territory, and they were located in a relatively prosperous area like Yau Ma Tei.

Therefore, a reallocation is needed.

Lin Yao usually doesn't get involved in these kinds of things, so he found a place to sit down and listen in.

“Jixiang, you deserve the most credit this time, so Zhongfang Street is yours. There are more than a dozen venues, bars, nightclubs, and saunas here,” Jimmy said directly to Wei Jixiang.

Wei Jixiang was somewhat surprised: "Shouldn't we tell Yao-ge about this?"

Jimmy pouted: "Isn't he already here?" Wei Jixiang turned his head and saw that Lin Yao had indeed appeared in the office at some point.

He listened with great interest to how they divided the territory: "What are you looking at me for? You guys carry on!"

Jimmy rolled his eyes and said, "Ignore him. Chen Dong and the other three go to Dongguan Street. Discuss the important matters among yourselves, and listen to Chen Dong for the minor ones. He's more composed."

No one had any objections to Jimmy's way of distributing the food.

Even Wei Jixiang and his men thought Jimmy and Lin Yao were honest and kind people.

Anyway, he's so much better than that stingy bastard Hong Tai.

After they had divided up the territory, Lin Yao told everyone some good news: "I have good news for you all. The triad is planning to let me open a branch in Yau Ma Tei."

"Then Jimmy, you can officially take office this time. Wei Jixiang hasn't had the ceremony of transferring yet. I guess Chuiji will give you a surprise."

Upon hearing Lin Yao's words, everyone's faces immediately lit up with joy.

In particular, Wei Jixiang's two henchmen were very happy for their boss.

This means a wise ruler has been chosen!

"Alright, that's fine for now!" Lin Yao said directly, "Those who have nothing else to do, go and get back to work!"

The newly conquered territory was bound to be quite chaotic, so Lin Yao told them to hurry up and stabilize their territory before heading to Lian Sheng in a few days to prepare for their establishment.

Just after Jimmy and the others left, Little Fu came running over, looking utterly dejected.

"Boss, you didn't tell me being a celebrity was this tiring!" Xiao Fu said irritably. "And those paparazzi are so damn annoying, I almost punched them!"

Seeing Xiao Fu's reaction, Lin Yao said with amusement, "If you want to be a big star, you have to give up some things. Isn't that normal? Can't you handle that?"

"I can't take it anymore, I can't do this job, I'd rather stay by your side as your assistant!" Xiao Fu shook his head and said.

Lin Yao said with a bit of a laugh, "Damn it, you'd rather be my assistant than a big star who earns hundreds of thousands a month for a movie?"

Xiao Fu said through gritted teeth, "Otherwise, I'm really afraid that one day I might lose control and kill one or two paparazzi, and that would be a real problem!"

The paparazzi in Hong Kong really have some skills to drive the good-natured Xiao Fu to this state.

The paparazzi, although they originated in Italy.

However, it was England and Hong Kong that truly popularized it.

The paparazzi in these two places are especially rampant.

It seems to be slowly taking shape.

Lin Yao stroked his chin and considered whether he should also get a gossip magazine.

However, Lin Yao suppressed the thought that he already felt he didn't have enough talent to support a martial arts magazine.

Lin Yao said to Xiao Fu, "If all else fails, then you should keep a low profile for now. The film's promotion will be over soon anyway. If you want to act, just play a supporting role."

Hearing Lin Yao's words, Xiao Fu immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, boss!"

Lin Yao then asked gossipily, "By the way, has Gao Gang resolved his issues with those Xiao Tians?"

Xiao Fu said with a strange expression, "No, and this woman is even more outrageous. She gave a public interview, saying that she and Gao Gang had a wonderful time together, and Gao Gang is hiding in the hotel right now and hasn't been able to come out yet!"

"Damn it, what's wrong with Haoqiang? How come he still hasn't won that woman over?" Lin Yao said, somewhat displeased.

Xiao Fu rarely defended Hao Qiang, saying, "Boss, you have no idea how shameless that woman can be. Most people would find it hard to handle!"

Lin Yao snorted coldly: "Alright, I'll go take a look!"

With that, Lin Yao drove directly to the hotel where Gao Gang was currently staying.

After all, Gao Gang has just started his career, and he certainly can't afford to buy a luxury house now.

Besides, being watched by so many paparazzi, staying in a hotel can help you avoid them.

When Lin Yao arrived at the hotel, he found that many paparazzi were waiting at the entrance.

He had Xiao Fu drive the car directly into the underground parking lot, and then took the hotel elevator to the top-floor suite.

As soon as Lin Yao entered, he saw several bodyguards wearing sunglasses blocking the entrance.

He said to Haoqiang with a bit of a laugh, "Damn, you're putting on a bigger show than me!"

Hao Qiang immediately broke out in a cold sweat and yelled at his bodyguards, "Get out of the way! This is the big boss!"

Once the bodyguards learned Lin Yao's identity, they immediately made way for him.

Hao Qiang quickly explained to Lin Yao, "Boss, this was a temporary measure to prevent Gao Gang from being photographed without our knowledge!"

Lin Yao said with a smile, "I was just kidding. Do I look like such a petty person?"

Upon entering the suite, Lin Yao saw Gao Gang sitting by the window, lost in thought.

This guy looked haggard; besides the intense publicity work these past few days, he was also exhausted from being bothered by those paparazzi.

Hao Qiang coughed, and Gao Gang finally came to his senses.
