Hong Kong Variety Show: From Little Brother to Big Boss

Upon hearing this, Luo Tuo's face flashed with a hint of doubt, and then he personally filled Lei Yaoyang's cup of tea. After sitting down again, he fixed his eyes on Lei Yaoyang and asked, "Oh? What's the matter?"

Lei Yaoyang did not answer Luotuo's words immediately, but lowered his head in thought, holding the teacup tightly in both hands. His face looked a little gloomy, and a fierce struggle was going on in his heart.

Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he raised his head and drank the tea in the cup. Then he looked up at the camel and asked in a firm and serious tone:

"Boss, you are fifty-two years old this year. Have you ever considered...abdicating and returning to the Netherlands to enjoy your old age?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the East Star Hall froze instantly. Luo Tuo looked normal, but his eyes were sharp. He looked at Lei Yaoyang and asked, "Ayang, do you want to be the leader of East Star?"

Lei Yaoyang heard this and shook his head, his expression full of sincerity and determination:

"Brother Run, you know me well. Although I want the society to become stronger, I have no desire to be the leader."

"In 1975, our East Star and Hong Xing had a tragic fight, which resulted in the death of the leaders of both sides and severe damage to both sides. At that time, it was you who turned the tide and stabilized the situation in the East Star."

"However, looking back at the past few years, we can compare the development of our Dongxing and Hongxing."

"Hung Hing has recovered from its past traumas and has even grown stronger. However, we are still standing still, maintaining the old appearance of the Five Tigers, without any progress."

Seeing that Luotuo's face was getting more and more gloomy, Lei Yaoyang took a deep breath and decided to speak out everything he was thinking and worrying about at once to avoid unnecessary disputes within the society.

After all, he didn't want to see anything rebellious happen.

Although Lei Yaoyang was not a direct disciple of Luotuo, his elder brother, Lao Dinglai, was one of Luotuo's most trusted people before he retired and returned to Fengche Country to retire.

The existence of this relationship also earned him the trust of Camel, which was the fundamental reason why he was able to manage the "flour" business in Windmill Country alone.

"Your presence has begun to become a stumbling block to the development of the society. If you are unwilling to step down and make way for a leader who can lead the society forward, then the follow-up..."

Lei Yaoyang did not say everything because he believed that with the wisdom of the dragon-headed camel, it would be able to understand the deep meaning of it on its own.

Luotuo was the leader he respected and admired the most among all the leaders he had followed, because he had always been practicing his motto of 'unity of knowledge and action'.

When Lei Yaoyang told him everything he was thinking and worried about, Luotuo, who had always upheld the code of conduct of "faith" and "righteousness" in the martial arts world, looked gloomy.

He stared at Benleihu, who had his eyes slightly closed and looked like he was ready to do whatever he wanted. He said nothing.

He knew Lei Yaoyang's character very well. Although he was ambitious and capable, he did not care much about the position of the leader of the society as he said.

This can be seen from the fact that before Lei Yaoyang was replaced by Crow and returned to Hong Kong, he was able to stay in Windmill Country and manage the business for the society.

In fact, Luotuo had already seen clearly that among all the hall masters and the older generation in the society, the one with the greatest ambition was the Second Marshal of East Star, Bai Tou Weng, who had always been eyeing the position of leader.

The second is the descending tiger Crow, which can be seen from the usual conversations between Crow and him.

Next is the Smiling Tiger. Although he always has a hypocritical smile on his face, the camel can still capture his desire for the position of leader from his eyes.

As for the three people, Qinlonghu, Benleihu and Jinmaohu, Jinmaohu lacks wisdom and is strong but lacks intelligence.

Qinlonghu and Benleihu, on the other hand, are more focused on expanding their territory and business, and have much less desire for power than others.

Luotuo took a deep breath, and when he thought about the fact that Hongxing now had twelve hall masters, while their Dongxing still stuck to the old structure of the Five Tigers, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

He took a deep look at Lei Yaoyang, slowly retracted his hand that was about to pat his cheek, gently rubbed his temple, and spoke with a hint of fatigue:

"Ayang, you go back first. I will seriously consider what you said."

Lei Yaoyang opened his eyes instantly when he heard this and looked at the camel, but he did not say anything to comfort him because he knew that the camel, as the leader, could see some things more clearly than he did.

It’s just that sometimes the person involved is confused while the bystander can see things clearly, so he was unable to react for a while.

Lei Yaoyang patted Luotuo's shoulder gently in an almost offensive way to comfort him, then stood up and left the headquarters.

Although Camel was the leader of the East Star, he was the easiest to get along with among all the leaders of the societies in Hong Kong Island. This was the reason why Lei Yaoyang dared to say so many outrageous things to him in person.

He was sure that Camel would not do anything to him, so he took advantage of today's meeting to urge Camel to abdicate and return to the Netherlands to retire.

If someone in Hung Hing dared to so bluntly persuade Chiang Tiansheng to abdicate, he would probably at least be scolded, or more likely die inexplicably on the street or at home.

But here, in Yuen Long and Tung Sing, Camel’s personality meant that he didn’t need to be too cautious about what he said.

On the other side, on the second floor of Gao Laofa’s “Nestle Mahjong Hall”, which is slightly simple and solemn.

A magnificent and extremely conspicuous tea table stands in the central area, like the ruler of this small world.

Around it, more than ten chairs covered with fine leather are carefully arranged, waiting for guests to take their seats.

This is the tea room specially built by Gao Laofa, a place tailor-made for high-level meetings of the community.

At this moment, all the leaders of the Liansheng Society gathered here and had a heated discussion about the sensitive and complicated action of the Ni family in the early morning.

Compared with the monthly routine church meetings, the atmosphere here seems much more relaxed, less serious and oppressive, and more casual and free.

All the hall masters expressed their own opinions and actively shared their views and insights on the Ni family incident.

Some people advocated taking the initiative, teaching the Ni family a profound lesson with a thunderous force, and then advancing to Tsim Sha Tsui;

Some people think that we should remain calm and wait and see what happens, so as not to act rashly and cause unnecessary trouble;

Others chose to remain silent, as if they were waiting for the best time to come while thinking carefully.

Among all the hall masters, Ale's emotions were undoubtedly the most intense.

Although the Ni family only crossed his territory and did not attack him directly, it was not difficult to see the fear and anxiety in his heart from his flickering eyes.

After all, his territory is now tightly surrounded by the Ni family's sphere of influence. If he is not careful, he may become a victim of the Ni family's emotional venting.

Chuiji tapped the table lightly to attract everyone's attention, and then he explained his point of view to everyone in a clear and logical manner:

"Mr. Gao, I strongly oppose Ah Le's proposal."

"The Ni family did not take the initiative to provoke us and Lian Sheng. Instead, they deliberately avoided A Le's territory. This is enough to show that they have no intention of becoming enemies with us and Lian Sheng."

"Besides, there is no need for us to rush in when the other three major societies are keeping calm. I think, instead of worrying about the Ni family, we should turn our attention to the Wo Hop Tu territory."

This time, Fei Hua did not oppose Chui Ji as he did in the general meeting. Instead, he expressed his agreement:

"Chuiji is right. Wang Bao, the strongest person in Hehetu, has been eliminated by the Ni family. This is a good opportunity for us to expand."

"We can definitely gather the power of some of the hall masters, expel Hutchison Whampoa and Hongtai, and then annex Hutchison Whampoa's territory in Shatin."
