Hong Kong Variety Show: From Little Brother to Big Boss

As the speed of the car continued to increase, the scene outside the car window began to blur, and a series of bustling city scenes quickly passed by. The traffic was weaving, the pedestrians were hurrying, and the neon signs intertwined into a bizarre network, reflecting the unique style of this era.

Finally, the car stopped steadily in front of a famous restaurant in Wan Chai, "You Guqi". The restaurant has a simple and elegant appearance, with carved beams and painted buildings, revealing a charm of years and a heavy sense of history.

There are two huge red lanterns hanging in front of the door. They are particularly eye-catching in the night, swaying gently, as if welcoming every guest coming from afar.

It is full of Chinese style. No wonder in the Hong Kong movies of the past, banquets or negotiations were often held in restaurants with integrity. The sense of ceremony is simply full.

This is not only a place to taste delicious food, but also a place full of ritual and solemnity. Holding a banquet or negotiating here will undoubtedly make people feel more valued and respected.

Entering the restaurant, Liu Xu and others were led by the waiter through the bustling lobby, up the antique wooden stairs, and all the way to a private room on the second floor called "Zhuangyuan Hall".

The door of the private room was gently pushed open, and a faint scent of tea and wood intertwined together, rushing towards us, making people feel a sense of tranquility and elegance instantly.

I was promoted to the Red Stick of the club, which was a big event worth celebrating. Naturally, I needed to treat all the hall masters and Red Sticks of the club to a good meal.

One is to get to know each other and expand one's own network of contacts; the other is to express one's loyalty and gratitude to the community.

I chose this restaurant myself, but the rest of the reservations and dishes were arranged by my boss Chui Ji. After all, I had never experienced anything like this before, so I naturally needed the help of the experienced boss Chui Ji.

At this time, his boss Chuiji had already sat down in the private room. He was wearing a Tang suit and looked energetic.

Seeing Liu Xu coming in, he smiled and teased: "Hey, isn't this the protagonist of our banquet today? Ah Xu, you came later than me!"

Liu Xu scratched his head embarrassedly and said with a smile: "Boss, please stop teasing me. I am late because I am sending my father to work in Tsuen Wan."

As he said that, he took out the red envelope he had prepared in advance from his pocket and stuffed it into the arms of the boss Chuiji.

Chuiji felt the thickness of the red envelope and felt that it should be 50,000 Hong Kong dollars. A satisfied smile instantly appeared on his face.

Then he put it into the purse in his arms, laughed, and patted Liu Xu on the shoulder: "Because family matters made me come late, it's reasonable. Ah Xu, I will accept this red envelope without hesitation."

After pulling Liu Xu to sit down, Chuiji suddenly told Liu Xu in a serious tone: "Ah Xu, try to drink less alcohol later. Getting drunk is not a good thing in this situation, in case you get drunk and get tricked into negotiating some outrageous cooperation."

At this point, Chuiji paused, and mysteriously gave Liu Xu a little trick to deal with people forcing you to drink: "If it doesn't work, just use the 'hiding the truth and pouring wine under the table' method to deal with the person forcing you to drink."

"Remember, when you're in a gang, you must not get drunk. Whether it's for your personal safety or anything else, you must always be vigilant."

Liu Xu felt a warm current in his heart when he heard Chuiji's serious tone of admonition. He nodded seriously, indicating that he would definitely keep it in mind.

Having watched so many Hong Kong movies, he naturally knew this truth. In the underworld, drinking alcohol not only causes trouble, but also easily leads to death. Only by staying sober and alert can one gain a foothold in this world full of dangers and opportunities.

At this moment, he felt a little sad. Although Chuiji loved money, he was very good at both doing things and being a person.

Liu Xu felt that he should put away the contempt and disdain he had for Blowing Chicken when he first met him. In this complex and ever-changing world of Hong Kong Island, it is actually a rare blessing to be able to meet a reliable boss.

After arranging the positions of Daozai and Ergou, Liu Xu brought Li Hangluo to the door of "Zhuangyuan Hall" to prepare to welcome the big guys and red sticks who were about to arrive one after another.

Without letting Liu Xu wait for long, Mong Kok leader Guan Zaisan and Jordan leader Lok Shao arrived at the scene first.

"Oh, Brother Sen, Young Master Le, you two came so early! You really give us face." Liu Xu smiled, with a hint of respect in his tone.

Guan Zaisen laughed: "Liu Xu, we are all brothers from the same society, and we are as close as a family. How can we not come to support you?"

"Yes."

After listening to Shangguan Zaisan's words, Le Shao also laughed. He handed Liu Xu a red envelope and joked: "Our sites are all in Yau Tsim Mong District. When you have time in the future, you should walk around more and take care of each other."

Liu Xu took the red envelopes from the two people, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He thanked them repeatedly: "Brother Sen, Master Le, you are so polite. I, Liu Xu, can be where I am today, all thanks to the support of my brothers and sisters in the society."

He said firmly, "If there's anything you can do for me in the future, just let me know. I'll do my best."

After a few pleasantries, Liu Xu led the two into the bustling "Zhuangyuan Hall". He arranged for Guan Zaisen and Le Shao to sit at the east table and asked the waiter to entertain them well and ensure that everything was thoughtful.

Then he returned to the door and continued to greet other guests with a smile.

Not long after Guan Zaisen and Le Shao arrived, Yu Toubiao and his two younger brothers hurried over. Seeing Liu Xu standing at the door to greet them, he opened his arms and hugged him: "A Xu, congratulations."

"My car had some problems on the way, and I almost missed it." Then he took out a bulging red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Liu Xu: "This is a little gift from me."

Liu Xu took the red envelope with a smile, "Brother Biao, you are here, how could I miss it? Please come in, we must drink to our heart's content today!"

Yu Toubiao laughed, and followed Liu Xu into the "Zhuangyuan Hall" with his two younger brothers. The place was already crowded with people, and the bigwigs and red sticks who arrived one after another were all congratulating Liu Xu on his appointment.

After Liu Xu placed the fish head emblem at the hall master's position on the east side, Liu Xu returned to the door again, with a warm smile on his face, ready to welcome the next guest.

At this time, the sky over Hong Kong Island was gradually covered by the night. Liu Xu glanced at his watch and saw that it was already 7:50.

In another ten minutes, the banquet would officially begin, and he would then need to toast and express his gratitude to all the hall masters and red sticks.

Not long after, a black Mercedes slowly drove up and stopped at the door of Youguqi Restaurant. The door opened and a burly man with a dignified face walked out slowly.

Next to him, there was a woman with an elegant temperament. Her appearance was not too outstanding but she was never boring to look at. She was holding the man's arm and following closely beside him.

Although this woman is not wearing any makeup, the temperament that radiates from the inside out makes people unable to help but take a few more glances.

Liu Xu was very surprised to see the other party coming. He first looked at the time. Well, it was already 7:57. This should be the last hall master to attend his banquet.

He was thinking secretly in his mind, but he didn't show it on his face, which showed a very warm smile.
