Hong Kong Variety Show: From Little Brother to Big Boss

When Li Hangluo announced the preliminary voting results, the atmosphere in the conference room froze instantly. Everyone looked at each other in confusion. It was obvious that this result was beyond everyone's expectations.

The five uncles thought that all three people nominated by Liu Xu would be elected, but in the end only Fei Mao was elected, which surprised the uncles but also made them secretly happy.

Liu Xu coughed lightly, drawing everyone's attention to himself. "Now that the results are out, Bozi, go contact Changfa, Feimao, and Siyanming."

As Bo Zai hurriedly left the meeting hall, Liu Xu continued, "Only three of the four hall masters have been chosen. I will use my authority as the hall master to directly appoint the remaining one."

Ignoring the constant glances between his uncle and the other hall masters, he said, "To avoid the impression that I'm abusing my power, Ergou will be removed from the list of options."

"Also, the criteria for evaluation is based on the land. The Airplane Land covers three streets, while the Fire Bull controls half of Tai Kok Tsui."

"I have decided that the position of the last hall master will be held by Huo Niu." Liu Xu's words were firm and powerful, leaving no room for doubt.

Compared with eliminating Wang Ergou from the list of options, Liu Xu's choice of Huo Niu as the last hall master of He Liansheng was obviously within everyone's expectations.

As the four elected candidates walked into the hall one by one with excitement and surprise, Liu Xu warned them with a sharp gaze:

"Fire Bull, Four Eyes, Flying Hair, and Long Hair, your first priority is to consolidate your respective territories while looking for opportunities to expand into surrounding areas."

Expanding territory is always a key theme for any society. A society without territory is not really a society at all, but merely a minor force.

Upon hearing this, the four of them hurriedly bowed respectfully and responded in unison, "Yes, Master! We will definitely live up to your expectations and work hard to expand our hall's territory."

Liu Xu nodded slightly, expressing satisfaction with the four people's answers. Among the four, he was most familiar with Siyanming and Changmao.

One was from the same school as him, and the other was his younger brother. Of the four, their acquaintance and interactions were the longest and most frequent.

The remaining ones are Changfa and Huo Niu. Huo Niu used to have a good relationship with Lin Huaile, but as Lin Huaile was expelled from Hong Kong Island, Huo Niu began to take the initiative to approach Liu Xu.

As for Changfa, it was actually Liu Xu who secretly asked Oura Hei to push him forward. The other party was capable, but had no connections in the headquarters.

Gao Laofa considered promoting Changfa, but he had no say in expanding the number of hall masters in the society, and Changfa did not belong to Deng Bo's faction, so he was eventually rejected by Deng Bo.

Now that Liu Xu has taken over as the chairman, the situation has naturally changed.

Liu Xu was willing to give Changfa a chance to rise to the top, provided that she followed his lead. And Changfa seized the opportunity well.

With the four hall masters officially confirmed, the next step was the inauguration ceremony for the four hall masters. Liu Xu did not take over Xing Shu's job and served as a witness.

With Liu Xu present, the witnesses of the ordination ceremony of the four hall masters included not only him, but also other hall masters and five uncles in the society.

In the past, such inauguration ceremonies often lacked either the head, the uncle, or even the chief. This time, all the leaders of the society gathered at the Three Saints Palace.

As the ceremony ended, the hall leader Yan Chuanbao did not schedule it for that night, but set aside three days to notify other societies.

After all, the four hall masters holding a hall master banquet at the same time is a major event for the society and an excellent opportunity to enhance the influence and cohesion of the society.

All the communities in Hong Kong Island must be informed of this matter to witness the rise of He Liansheng.

During these three days, Liu Xu was not idle. He personally participated in the invitation work.

After the battle between Ling Chen and Xin Ji, Liu Xu's fame was no longer limited to Hong Kong Island, but spread to the underground world of Southeast Asian countries.

Even in the underground world of Japan and South Korea, Liu Xu has a reputation. He can be said to have made a name for himself by stepping on the face of Xinji.

Seeing this, Jiang Sheng naturally felt very angry.

But he was not sure about a fight to the death, nor did he have the strength to fight in the ring, so he could only swallow his anger and accept the loss.

Faced with the invitation personally sent by the then-popular He Liansheng, all the community leaders in Hong Kong who received the invitation gave it face.

On the night of the banquet, the restaurant was brightly lit and bustling with people.

The four new hall masters, Changfa, Feimao, Huoniu and Siyanming, stood in the center of the stage, accepting congratulations and respect from all sides.

Liu Xu stood aside and watched all this with a smile.

This hall master banquet is not only a recognition of the four new hall masters by the society and him, but also a great opportunity for Lian Sheng to show his strength to the outside world.

He looked around and chatted cordially with every community leader who came forward to shake hands, sometimes nodding and smiling, sometimes whispering, showing a calmness that was inconsistent with his age.

"Mr. Liu, congratulations! He Liansheng has been appointed as the master of four halls at the same time this month. It can be seen that under your leadership, He Liansheng's strength has made great progress." Tongguzi said with a smile.

Liu Xu nodded slightly in response, "Thank you. However, He Liansheng's achievements today are the result of the joint efforts of all the brothers in the club."

The relationship between the two did not appear to be too close. After talking for a while, seeing that Liu Xu's interest in the conversation faded, Tonkotsuki tactfully left.

Then, leaders from other societies came over to talk to Liu Xu, and the scene became very lively.

The half-dead society Wo Hop Tu, after boarding the He Liansheng ship, not only completed the clean-up in Carp Bay, but also blossomed in North Point and Chai Wan.

It took less than two months for the club's strength to go from being on the verge of being wiped out to being ranked among the second-rate clubs again.

The leaders of small and medium-sized community groups saw it all and felt jealous.

During the conversation, he kept hinting to Liu Xu in both explicit and implicit ways that he could be obedient and fully cooperate with Lian Sheng's actions, as long as he could leave some soup.

Liu Xu's rationality was not drowned by these flattering words. He kept responding to the goodwill and temptations of the leaders of various communities with a smile.

He knew clearly that the reason these small and medium-sized communities were so active was simply because they wanted to take advantage of the big tree of He Liansheng and share some of the benefits.

Liu Xu raised his glass, motioned to everyone around him to drink, and replied softly: "Lian Sheng and I are willing to work together with sincere societies."

There was no substantial promise, but the eyes of the people in charge around him flashed, and they nodded quickly: "Our sincerity is absolutely sufficient."

"As long as Lian Sheng and I can use our services, please feel free to ask."

Liu Xu smiled and nodded without saying anything more. A few simple pleasantries were enough. In the martial arts world, strength was what mattered.

As long as He Liansheng can maintain his status as one of the four major societies in Hong Kong Island, these people will not dare to speak loudly to him even if he does not make any promises.

The banquet lasted until late at night, but Liu Xu did not stay until the end.

After receiving a sudden message from Bo Zai that Tian Yangsheng had called back, Liu Xu said hello and quickly left the hall master's banquet and rushed back to Dongsheng Building.

"Asheng, how are you doing now? Why didn't you contact me on time the day before yesterday?" Liu Xu asked into the microphone.

"Brother Xu, the night before yesterday, when I was exploring the island, I was accidentally discovered by them. I jumped into the river just in time and managed to escape their pursuit."

"Was the information given by Guanchaiba wrong or was it simply carelessness?" Liu Xu's voice was full of coldness.

"It was my carelessness. But the information he provided also contained some errors, but I carefully avoided them." Tian Yangsheng responded.
