Hong Kong Variety Show: From Little Brother to Big Boss

"Add some points? Add some points!"

Gao Laofa grabbed Lin Huaile's collar and looked at him coldly, but his tone was unusually calm: "The society has never done this before, and I will never do anything to destroy the unity of the society."

"But if you really want Jordan's territory, I can give you a fair chance to compete."

Lin Huaile's eyes lit up when he heard this. He didn't care about his undignified posture at the moment, and responded with a hint of excitement: "I really want to take back my original territory. How can I compete?"

Gao Laofa didn't keep him in suspense. "You have a duel with Axu's younger brother Tian Yangsheng or Feng Yuxiu. If you win, I will give up my reputation and give you half of the Jordan territory. How do you think?"

Lin Huaile's face instantly turned the color of liver, and he spoke incoherently: "I...you...Mr. Gao, are you saying that you want me to personally go on stage and fight with little brother Liu Xu?"

Seeing Lao Gao nodded in confirmation, Lin Huaile's tone became a little higher: "Aren't you asking me to die? How can I be better than a young man in his twenties?"

"How about I ask my good brother Huo Niu to take my place? Is that okay with you?"

He knew Feng Yuxiu's skills, and even when he was young, he was no match for him. As for Tian Yangsheng, although he had never seen him fight, he was able to stand on equal footing with Feng Yuxiu, so he was obviously not an easy opponent.

When fighting with the opponent in the ring, the purpose is to seize the opponent's territory. Even if he is the hall master who has won consecutive games, there is a high probability that he will not even have the chance to admit defeat and will be beaten to death in the ring.

Lin Huaile's expression made Gao Laofa speechless. He let go of Lin Huaile's collar and responded to this stupid question indifferently: "What do you think?"

"Okay, I heard that you took half of the street from Huo Niu. Now that you have the territory, you should think of ways to expand it instead of thinking about how to take territory from your own people in an opportunistic way."

Gao Laofa's words directly pierced through his last bit of defense. Feeling extremely ashamed, he finished his tea in one gulp and quickly stood up to say goodbye to Gao Laofa.

When the Shanghai guys at the door saw Lin Huaile leave, the eldest brother Gao Laofa also lost interest in tea and hurried forward to clean up the tea sets.

"Shanghai boy, do you think I was right to reject Lin Huaile's request?"

The Shanghai boy, who was packing up the tea sets, was shocked when he heard this, but he remained calm. He had been following Gao Laofa for a long time and knew that what the boss wanted to hear was words of affirmation.

So, without any hesitation, he quickly took up the conversation, "That's definitely right, Mr. Gao. If you set this precedent, the spirit of the club will be scattered. And if the spirit is scattered, it will be difficult to lead the team."

Shanghai Boy's words really touched Gao Laofa's heart. What he was most worried about was that doing so would undermine the internal unity of the society.

But in the past, when he asked Shanghaizai about issues concerning the community, Shanghaizai always agreed with him and never expressed his personal opinions, but this time he made an exception.

He sat up straight, staring at Shanghaizi with a sharp gaze, and continued to ask with interest: "Then analyze again why Lin Huaile came to me even though he had a new territory!"

Faced with this question, Shanghaizi already had the answer in his mind, but he couldn't answer too quickly.

After cleaning up the teacups and kettles, Shanghai Boy stood aside and responded obediently: "The first point is the size of the site and the factors of oil and water."

"Fire Bull gave Lok half a street, while his original territory was three streets. Besides, the money in Tai Kok Tsui is far less than that in Jordan."

"The second point is the geographical location. His territory in Jordan is surrounded by the Yau Ma Tei Tong. If he can get it back, he won't have to worry about other gangs crossing the line."

“Although I cannot expand my territory, I can develop my business with peace of mind.”

The continuous speech made Shanghaizi's mouth dry. He paused for a few seconds, took a sip of saliva, and continued: "The third point involves you."

"If you personally ask Liu Xu for the territory, even if Liu Xu doesn't give it to you, it will give the other hall masters the feeling that you value Lin Huaile very much."

"The fourth point is the overall factor of the society. Once you open your mouth, Liu Xu's sense of belonging to the society will definitely decrease, and he may even make a scene."

"This will lower Liu Xu's prestige in the society and his status in your and Uncle Deng's hearts."

When Shanghaizai finished speaking, a round of applause broke out in the teahouse.

Gao Laofa smiled, his words full of appreciation and affirmation: "I always thought you were only good at fighting in the society, but I didn't expect you to be stupid on the outside but smart on the inside."

Then he changed the subject: "It seems that you were playing me before, Shanghai boy. Why, are you worried that appearing too smart will make me jealous?"

This didn't surprise Shanghaizi. The common method used by those in power was called "beating"! He no longer hid his incompetence and was mentally prepared to face all kinds of situations.

First he looked nervous, then he spoke in a stumbling tone: "No...no, I dare not fool you. It may be because I gained confidence from the battle last night."

Hearing this, Gao Laofa chuckled and waved his hand, pretending to be indifferent: "It's better that way, otherwise I can only transfer you away from me."

The conversation between the two did not last too long. What happened in the early morning made Gao Laofa's sleep very shallow, and now he urgently needed to make up for the rest.

If it weren't for Lin Huaile's sudden visit, he might have fallen asleep.

After the boss' figure completely disappeared in the tea room, Shanghaizi went into the bathroom with a bulging object in his pocket. It was his recently bought 'mobile phone'.

Dongsheng Building, Liu Xu finished talking to Shanghai Zai and showed a sneer on his face. Lin Huaile wanted to follow in the footsteps of Guan Zaisen and Fei Hua.

Well, since he wants to die so much, then just grant his wish.

As a time traveler, Liu Xu didn't care about the big picture or the concerns. He could sense danger in advance, and his current life motto was to kill anyone who dared to provoke him!

If the persimmon is hard and those who dare to provoke him are sensible, they will leave it alone for the time being and observe; if they are not sensible, they will directly face the backlash and may kill him.

But this matter needs to be put on hold for the time being. The other party just went to Gao Laofa to put him in the eye, and then he killed him right after. This is a bit of a slap in Gao Laofa's face.

After all, he was the one who gave him five mahjong hall licenses, so he had to give him the face he deserved.

As the sun rises, the citizens of Hong Kong Island begin a new life.

Among the bustling crowd on the street, most people looked hurried.

Some of them were dressed in neat business attire, while others were carrying heavy backpacks. They walked steadily and had determined eyes as they rushed to their respective workplaces.

The honking of cars, the roar of buses and the footsteps of pedestrians are intertwined to form a vivid and vibrant picture of an urban morning.

However, in this hurried trend, there are also some leisurely and contented figures.

Some citizens may choose to slow down and stroll through the streets, perhaps because they do not need to rush to work, or perhaps they just want to enjoy this rare early morning time.

They may stop at a flower shop on the street and pick a bunch of bright flowers to add a touch of color to their lives;

Or you can walk into an antique tea restaurant, taste an authentic Hong Kong-style breakfast, and enjoy a moment of peace and comfort.

In this way, the morning on Hong Kong Island slowly unfolds in a mixture of rush and leisure.
