After getting in the car, Chuiji first knocked on the window gently, then touched the door carefully, and a look of surprise instantly appeared on his face:

"Ah Xu, the glass and body of your car are not simple."

Liu Xu smiled slightly, patted the seat vigorously, and said with a bit of pride:

"Of course. I had this car custom-made by someone from a German manufacturer."

"Not only is it equipped with bulletproof glass, but even the body of the car is made of explosion-proof materials. So, you can rest assured about your safety when you ride in my car."

Chuiji's eyes were fixed on Liu Xu, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved: "Then this car must be expensive, right? How much money did you spend in total?"

Liu Xu slowly stretched out two fingers and gestured to the chicken.

Seeing this, Chuiji quickly responded, "So cheap? After the meeting is over, introduce the friend who helped you order the car to me. I also want to order one."

Based on Liu Xu's understanding of Chuiji's stingy and greedy character, he guessed that Chuiji must have thought that his two fingers referred to 200,000 Hong Kong dollars, so he had the idea of ​​buying it.

"It's two million, not two hundred thousand, Brother Ji." Liu Xu took the initiative to clarify.

Upon hearing this, Chuiji's eyes widened instantly. He looked at Liu Xu in shock and tentatively confirmed, "Two million? Hong Kong dollars?"

After getting Liu Xu's affirmative nod, Chui Ji instantly gave up the idea of ​​buying it. A trace of envy flashed in his eyes, and there was a bit of sourness in his tone:

"Ah Xu, you are really too timid. Let me tell you, if you are afraid of death in the underworld, you might as well just sell instant noodles."

Liu Xu shook his head gently and did not respond to Chui Ji's words. In just a few words, the convoy had successfully arrived at the Cathay Hotel.

When Chuiji and his companions stepped into the conference hall which was filled with a solemn and dignified atmosphere, they immediately discovered that not only the host Gao Laofa and his uncle Deng Bo had already taken their seats.

Even Big D, who always liked to show up on time, was already sitting at the round table, waiting for the meeting to officially begin.

This scene made Liu Xu, who was observing secretly, feel a little surprised and puzzled.

After saying a brief goodbye to Chuiji, Liu Xu walked alone into the society's red stick exclusive area, where gathered many tough guys with extraordinary skills and their own ideas.

He chose to ignore the topics that were being discussed around him, and just closed his eyes and began to concentrate on nourishing his energy.

Within the society, although Liu Xu and these red sticks belong to the same lineage, the moments when they truly interact with each other are very few.

The only time they had a more in-depth contact was at the promotion party he held to celebrate his promotion.

However, although the scene was very lively and the guests were drinking and drinking, the atmosphere was full of polite words and compliments, lacking the precious sincerity.

In this complex network of interests, interactions between people are often built on a delicate balance, and sincerity and loyalty are often the scarcest resources.

As for the saying "there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests", it is not only applicable in the big melting pot of the underworld, but also in the small melting pot of the society.

The brother who becomes your sworn brother today out of loyalty may stab you in the back for personal gain tomorrow. The most vivid example is the sworn brotherhood between Ah Le and Da D.

He promised to share the good and bad times with Big D, but then he smashed Big D to death just because he violated traffic rules by not wearing a helmet while fishing.

Rather than talking about useless things with these people, he would rather spend his time resting.

As all the people arrived one after another, Gao Laofa's steady and powerful voice echoed in the conference hall, announcing the official start of the monthly community headquarters meeting.

The entire venue fell silent in an instant, and all eyes were focused like spotlights on the seat of Gao Laofa, the host.

Gao Laofa slowly glanced at the hall masters sitting on both sides with a scrutinizing attitude.

The voice was steady and powerful: "Everyone, have you encountered any difficult problems or conflicts in the areas under your jurisdiction recently?"

The general hall meeting was completely different from those hall meetings chaired by scumbags. It followed a set and strict process. How to proceed and how to proceed were completely fixed.

From the speech of the hall master, to the exchange of opinions between the red sticks and the uncles, to the final summary and announcement of the agenda by the hall master, every step was orderly and did not allow for the slightest deviation.

If there is nothing to discuss, the chairperson will declare the meeting over after making a summary.

However, the speech session of the hall master at this general hall meeting was very different from any other time Liu Xu had experienced before.

After Gao Laofa finished speaking, all the hall masters looked at each other, and no one was willing to be the first to break this eerie silence.

As time passed, the situation at the scene had gradually become clear. It was likely that the hall master would not be given the opportunity to speak this time.

Gao Laofa didn't wait too long. Seeing that none of the nine hall masters had spoken, he looked up at the clock hanging on the wall, coughed lightly, and directly announced the start of the next stage.

His voice was soft but carried unquestionable authority.

"Then next, may I ask all the red sticks and uncles present here, do you have any matters to report to me?" Gao Laofa asked again, his tone revealing an expectation.

Gao Laofa continued casually: "Then, may I ask all the red sticks and uncles present here, do you have anything to report?" Gao Laofa asked again.

There was another period of prolonged silence. This scene made the nine hall masters sitting at the round table look at Gao Laofa, who was sitting at the top of the table, with either amusement or obscurity.

But the response he received was still a suffocating silence.

The nine hall masters sitting at the round table, some with playful smiles, some with flickering eyes, looked vaguely at Gao Laofa, who was sitting at the head of the table, as if they were all waiting for something.

However, Gao Laofa's face remained as calm as water, without any expression unusual.

Just as he was about to announce the next step, a sudden voice broke the silence: "I have something to say!" Liu Xu raised his hand abruptly, his voice firm and loud.

Gao Laofa's eyes instantly locked onto Liu Xu. His voice was deep and powerful, echoing throughout the venue: "Now, please allow the Red Stick Liu Xu from Wan Chai Hall to speak!"

Under the gaze of the crowd, Liu Xu slowly stood up, his clear voice carrying a hint of inquiry: "I wonder if I can apply for a few mahjong parlor licenses from the society."

As soon as these words came out, a sudden and harsh laugh rang out in the meeting room. Liu Xu frowned slightly and looked at Big D who was laughing, not understanding what he meant.

After all, more than half of the mahjong parlor licenses in Hong Kong Island are in the hands of the He Liansheng Society. He only applied for a few licenses. Could there be something he didn't know?

At this time, Fei Hua, who was sitting at the end of the table, spoke up, his tone full of teasing and mockery: "This is the first time I've seen a red stick come to a club to beg for food."

"Feng Xu, if you are short of money, just organize your brothers in your territory to pick up junk. As long as you can contract all the junk in Yau Ma Tei, you will definitely become rich!"

As Fei Hua finished speaking, before Liu Xu could respond, Wang Ergou suddenly stood up from the corner of the main hall and shouted angrily:

"Who the hell are you talking about picking up trash? Die..."

However, before he could finish his words, Liu Xu interrupted him with a scolding: "Er Gou, shut up!"
