Hong Kong Variety Show: From Little Brother to Big Boss

There was no trace of fear on Ba Bi's face. After getting the boss's approval, he stood up and reported in a slightly gloomy voice: "Recently, Hongxing people have frequently appeared in my territory."

“I hope the community will pay great attention to this and consider taking appropriate measures…”

Before he finished speaking, a burst of unbridled and highly recognizable laughter suddenly interrupted Ba Bi's statement. Fei Hua's iconic laughter resounded all around and echoed throughout the entire conference room.

"Hey, brother Babi, you have always been brave and fearless, and you are also Liangkun's sworn brother. Now there is another powerful fellow disciple, so why does the society need to make a big fuss?"

"In my opinion, you should go directly to your respected boss. I believe he can give you some advice and solve the problem."

Fei Hua's words were full of sarcasm about the delicate relationship between Chuiji and Babi. Obviously, he was happy to see this internal contradiction being further amplified.

He turned to look at the expressionless Blowing Chicken on the side, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Brother Ji, don't you think so?"

"With your feeding and wisdom, you can easily solve the problems for your little brother Babi, right?"

Every word of Fei Hua was like a sharp blade, accurately cutting through the already tense atmosphere and making the meeting even more tense.

Liu Xu, who was sitting at the back, narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes were deep. Looking at Fei Hua at the round table, a dark light flashed in his eyes.

He had already learned all the details of the entire voting process from Li Hangluo.

Although Liu Xu already knew that Blowing Chicken's proposal would definitely not be passed, Fei Hua's behavior still made him feel unhappy.

"If I remember correctly, the other party's territory should be in the Shatin District, near the Chinese University of Hong Kong." Liu Xu calculated silently in his mind.

He was not in a hurry to take action regarding Fei Hua's behavior today, but chose to wait and see. In the days to come, there will always be a time for reckoning.

Liu Xu suppressed his thoughts and continued to observe the situation in the meeting place calmly.

For someone who could turn Yau Ma Tei into a clean slate at any time, there was no need to seek help from any community.

Ba Bi on the other side was first rudely interrupted by Fei Hua, and then suffered the sarcasm in the other party's words. His face suddenly became as dark as iron and lead, and his resentment was beyond words.

However, due to the huge gap in status between the two parties, Ba Bi had to forcibly suppress the anger surging in his chest and chose to endure it in silence.

His gaze turned to focus on the host Gao Laofa, waiting for his response.

After all, he paid fees to the society every month in order to get protection and help when threatened by other societies. If the society stayed out of it at this moment, it would be hard to justify itself.

As for asking him to spend money to recruit people and resist the power of Hongxing in Causeway Bay alone? He would not do such a thankless task.

Thinking of this, Ba Bi sneered in his heart, his eyes inadvertently passed by Liu Xu not far away, and he thought to himself: "He is as brainless as that idiot."

"In his opinion, if the association has paid the fees, it has the obligation and responsibility to help. How can he let himself not only pay money but also contribute manpower and resist the invasion of other forces alone!"

"If this behavior is not stupid and brainless, then what is it?"

Facing Babi's expectant gaze, Gao Laofa hesitated for a moment before gently nodding his head, his tone gentle but firm: "Babi's request is indeed reasonable."

Then he turned his gaze to the Shanghai boy on the side and ordered: "I will leave this matter to you with full responsibility."

"Carefully select a few loyal and reliable men from the society to closely monitor every movement around Babi's territory."

"Remember, if there is any disturbance, or if Brother Babi needs assistance, you must mobilize the society's reserve forces immediately to provide reinforcements quickly and effectively."

When Shanghai Zai heard this, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes. He immediately straightened up and nodded solemnly: "Yes, Mr. Gao! I will live up to your trust and ensure that everything goes well."

Upon seeing this, Ba Bi breathed a sigh of relief, a sincere smile broke out on his face, and he quickly bowed deeply to Gao Laofa, his gratitude evident in words.

"Thank you Mr. Gao for your strong support. I will always remember this kindness in my heart!"

Afterwards, Ba Bi snorted coldly in the direction of Fei Hua and slowly sat down.

After Ba Bi sat down, Gao Laofa coughed lightly and continued to look around at the red sticks, signaling those who needed them to pick them up quickly.

Suddenly, a familiar roar rang in Liu Xu's ears. It was a loud shout coming from the red stick area next to him, which instantly attracted the attention of everyone.

He looked in the direction of the voice and saw Sang Kun raising his hands awkwardly, looking eagerly at Gao Laofa in the center of the meeting room, loudly declaring his request.

After the host nodded slightly to show his permission, Sang Kun took a deep breath, and his voice was slightly nervous but clearly echoed throughout the venue.

"Mr. Gao, I collected three months' land fees in advance for the flour business. But for some reason not long ago, the flour was suddenly seized by the police stormtroopers."

"So," Sang Kun's tone was a little stuttering when he said this, "I, I think, I hope to get a three-month fee exemption."

In the complex hierarchical structure of the society, although the identity of the Red Sticks has a certain voice in the society, it is not completely consistent.

Some red sticks are directly under the command of the hall master, such as Liu Xu;

The other part was able to obtain the position of Red Stick through the talent recognition of their uncles or the strong recommendation of the elders in the community.

Although they account for a small proportion, these special red sticks are often placed on the westernmost side of the venue to distinguish them, and they also carry a subtle difference in status.

Therefore, in the power structure of the society, the seat master is at the top, followed by the uncles, the hall master is the backbone, and below him is the red stick class.

The red sticks on the westernmost side seem to be a unique annotation in this pyramid structure. Their voices often have different weights depending on the identity and current situation of the recommender.

Of course, if the uncle who recommended the other person to the position still exists, then the other person may still have some weight in the community.

Sang Kun, who was speaking at this time, was one of the red sticks on the west side. His path to success benefited from the strong support of an uncle who had a weak presence in the community.

However, things are unpredictable. The uncle who once paved the way for Sangkun had already died in a previous community conflict, taking away his voice and influence in the community.

Therefore, the plea proposed by Sang Kun at this moment was undoubtedly a test of his own status, and also a subtle test of the rules and feelings of the society.

As Sang Kun's voice slowly fell, the uncles' generation area on the east side of the venue instantly became like a lake surface where a stone was thrown, with ripples appearing and heated discussions rising one after another.

Regulatory fees, a core issue concerning the distribution of the society's annual profits, touches the nerves of every uncle. Their interests are closely linked to it and cannot be taken lightly.

What they need to consider is not only their own interests, but also that once they agree to the other party's request, this precedent will not become a source of trouble in the future.

After all, once they agree, it would be like opening Pandora's box. If other red sticks or even hall masters request fee reductions or exemptions for similar reasons in the future, how should they respond?
