Hong Kong Variety Show: The Development Notes of a Boss

What made Lu Yongqiang even more speechless was that this system was so deceptive! The skills it rewarded couldn't be directly learned, and one had to take time out of their busy schedule to practice in order to master them.

But then again, since this is a reward from the system, it naturally has its own unique features. As long as you practice hard according to the prescribed length of time, you will be able to easily master these skills.

However, as skill levels increase, the time and effort required also increases. For example, Lu Yongqiang's mastery-level Muay Thai required him to practice for an hour daily for a month to master the skill. In contrast, Dadong's mastery-level Muay Thai required two hours of daily practice for a full month to achieve mastery.

Lu Yongqiang rushed downstairs anxiously. After looking around, he was instantly furious and yelled at Dadong who was coming downstairs with him: "Where's my car? Where is my car?"

Dadong looked bewildered, scratching his hair with his hand, and replied in a buzzing voice: "The car was driven away by that yellow-haired guy. Didn't I tell you about this before?"

Hearing this, Lu Yongqiang was so angry that he took a step forward and slapped Dadong hard. The crisp sound echoed in the air, but because Dadong was two meters tall, Lu Yongqiang's hand, which originally wanted to slap Dadong on the head, only landed on the other's shoulder.

Although Lu Yongqiang was 1.8 meters tall, not short, he still looked a bit short next to Dadong. He wanted to teach Dadong a lesson, but he was nimbly dodged, and the palm strike could only land on Dadong's strong shoulder.

After finishing his palm strike, Lu Yongqiang stopped. After all, Dadong's muscles were as strong as a wall of iron. His palm strike was no different from a mosquito bite to Dadong. Instead, Lu Yongqiang felt a stinging pain in his palm.

Lu Yongqiang glared at Dadong fiercely and shouted angrily, "What are you still standing there for? Go get a car!"

As soon as Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Dadong quickly turned and ran towards the alley next to him. Not long after, Dadong emerged from the alley on a battered bicycle. Lu Yongqiang stared intently at the rickety, seemingly falling-apart bicycle beneath Dadong's buttocks, his eyes gleaming with anger, as if he wanted to devour Dadong alive.

Dadong seemed to feel the murderous intent from Lu Yongqiang. He quickly jumped off the bicycle and explained tremblingly: "Brother, I looked around and only found this one bike that can be ridden. I really have no other choice!" After saying that, Dadong did not forget to look at Lu Yongqiang with pitiful eyes, hoping to calm his anger.

However, at this moment, Lu Yongqiang had no time to care about anything else. Without saying a word, he jumped on the back seat of the bicycle and urged: "Stop talking nonsense! Ride to the dog farm quickly!" Dadong did not dare to delay at all. He immediately stepped on the pedals and pedaled hard forward.

This so-called dog farm, while nominally a place for dogs, was actually completely empty, with not even a dog in sight. On weekdays, it was deserted, almost deserted. But tonight was different. Unexpectedly, several uninvited guests had intruded.

Back then, this dog farm was part of the Hung Hing Tong, specializing in breeding a variety of ferocious and aggressive dogs. At the time, dog fighting competitions were all the rage, becoming a key source of income for the Tuen Mun Tong. Unfortunately, this prosperity was short-lived. With the decline of Kowloon Walled City and the rise of animal protection associations, this cruel and bloody activity gradually fell into disfavor and resistance, ultimately leading to the complete decline of the business.

Lu Yongqiang nimbly jumped off his bicycle and sprinted towards the dog farm as if the wind was blowing under his feet. He nimbly navigated the curves and arrived at the slaughterhouse in the blink of an eye.

As soon as I stepped into the room, I was greeted by a shocking scene: Feilong's enormous mouth was tightly wrapped with tape, and his sturdy body was tied tightly with ropes, hanging in mid-air. The hook used to hang Feilong was actually the cold iron hook used for slaughter in the past!

At this moment, Huangmaoji was concentrating on sharpening a knife. The "scraping" sound made by the friction between the metal and the whetstone echoed in this ghostly and gloomy dog farm, and it seemed particularly sharp and piercing.

Feilong noticed Lu Yongqiang's arrival and struggled desperately to break free from the restraints, making low whimpering sounds of "wuuu wuuu" as if asking him for help.

Huangmaoji heard Feilong's unusual movement and slowly raised his head. His eyes first fell on Feilong, and then he noticed Lu Yongqiang who was standing silently beside him.

"Boss, why are you here suddenly?" Huangmaoji asked with a little surprise, but his hands did not stop moving.

Lu Yongqiang roared, "Why am I here? I just came to see how arrogant you, a little yellow-haired kid who doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is! You actually dared to do something like kidnapping... No, this is not just kidnapping, you are trying to kill me for money!"

You bastard, your hair isn't even fully grown yet, and you're already thinking about killing people?" Lu Yongqiang became angrier and angrier as he spoke, his eyes fixed on the yellow-haired Ji in front of him.

Sensing the anger in Lu Yongqiang's words, Huang Maoji couldn't help but shudder. After all, at this moment, he wasn't the ruthless, murderous Jaxk he would later become. He was just a young boy, barely sixteen years old. Despite being in a gang, he'd barely even been in a fight, let alone taking someone's life.

Huang Maoji's face turned pale as he stumbled over his words, "Boss... Boss, I... I really didn't intend to kill him. I just... I just wanted to destroy him..."

Hearing Huangmaoji say this, Lu Yongqiang became even angrier. He would rather Huangmaoji was cruel and killed Feilong than cripple him.

Who is Feilong? He is the younger brother of Crow, one of the Five Tigers of East Star. This man is going to die. As long as the aftermath is handled properly, Crow will not be able to determine who killed his brother in a short time, so his group can survive for a while.

But if Feilong is just disabled, it will be a big trouble. Not only will Huangmaoji be in trouble, but even the boss himself will have to run away to escape.

Lu Yongqiang suppressed his anger and asked, "Huangmao Ji, I want to ask you, when you tied up Feilong tonight, was anyone seen?"

Huang Maoji thought for a moment and said, "Probably not! I kidnapped Fei Long in the alley behind Ru Meng Bar. There was no one in the alley at the time."

Lu Yongqiang thought about the environment around Rumeng Bar and shouted, "Are you sure there was no one in the alley at that time?"

Huang Maoji immediately said: "Sure! Sure there's no one here!"

Hearing Huangmaoji say this, Lu Yongqiang felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief. As long as no one saw it, it was okay. Things hadn't reached the worst yet.

If Huangmaoji was seen tying up Feilong, Lu Yongqiang would have no choice but to let Feilong go, and then spend a lot of money to have a reconciliation banquet with Dong Quan to see if he could settle the matter.

Being able to settle the matter would be the best outcome. After all, ever since Hung Hing seized the Tung Sing gang's place in Causeway Bay, although Tung Sing's leader Camel said he didn't care, the bosses of several gangs under Tung Sing were all eyeing Hung Hing covetously.

Lu Yongqiang speculated that the reason why Tung Sing returned to Hong Kong Island at this time was because the foreigners made certain promises, and that Tung Sing did not make any big moves at this time, perhaps because they were not prepared, or perhaps because they were observing the police's attitude towards them.

Also, with Crow's crazy nature, he might use this incident to stir up disputes between the two societies, and I'm afraid I'll become cannon fodder then.

Lu Yongqiang was thinking about something and didn't say anything. At this time, Dadong ran in and saw Huangmao Ji. He said, "Little Huangmao, why did you tie this guy up? If you want to kill him, just do it quickly."

Hearing Dadong asking him to kill someone, Huangmaoji was frightened and took a step back, stammering, "I didn't... I didn't want to kill anyone..."

At this time, Lu Yongqiang said seriously: "Huangmaoji, let me ask you again, when you tied up Feilong, was there anyone who saw it?

Think this through before you answer. This matter not only concerns the lives of several of us, but also the lives of your brother and your grandmother."

The grudge between Huangmaoji and Feilong is actually related to his grandmother.

Huang Maoji's grandmother sells fish balls on the street. The street where she sets up her stall is the territory of Hongxing, or in other words, the territory under the supervision of Lu Yongqiang.

In Tuen Mun, the gentry clans are very powerful, especially the Lu family, which is deeply rooted in the local area. From government officials to community members, there are many Lu family members.

Lu Yongqiang knew that the reason why Dong Quan promoted him was, firstly, there was really no outstanding person around him, and secondly, his surname was Lu. Although he was not from the main branch of the Lu family, the relationship was not distant, and he could still borrow some of the Lu family's power in Tuen Mun.

So Lu Yongqiang knew where his roots were. After becoming the boss, when it came to the business done by people with the surname Lu, Lu Yongqiang basically did not charge protection fees, but just did things that were good to people with the surname Lu.

However, without the protection money from the Lu family, Lu Yongqiang had to make up for it himself. In order to make up for the deficit, Lu Yongqiang had to find new ways to make money after becoming the boss.

Lu Yongqiang was just an ordinary salesman in his previous life. If he had the ability, he wouldn't have to wait for more than ten years to become a sales manager. The only way he could think of to make money was to borrow ideas from TV dramas and movies he had watched before.

Lu Yongqiang’s first thought was to follow Jimmy’s lead and engage in the fake goods business, but he rejected the idea as soon as he came up with it.

Firstly, he had no capital. Before he became the boss, he didn't even have 10,000 yuan. After he became the boss, he did not inherit the property of the previous boss.

Secondly, he had no market. Tuen Mun was too poor, and selling fake goods in Tuen Mun was not very popular.

The most important point is that his influence is too small. If he really starts a fake goods business, it would be fine if he doesn't make money. But if he does, I'm afraid that others will immediately take advantage of it.

Since he couldn't make A-grade goods, Lu Yongqiang also thought about smuggling. Apart from anything else, Hong Kong Island had a large population, and all vegetables and fruits had to be imported, which was not cheap. Lu Yongqiang knew that during this period, vegetables and fruits in the north were very cheap. If he could find a way to smuggle vegetables or fruits, he could make a lot of money.

But smuggling is just a thought. Lu Yongqiang doesn't know about the coast guard in the north, but the coast guard in Hong Kong is no pushover. Don't look at so many people involved in smuggling. It's not that the coast guard is incompetent, but that the coast guard is well-fed and people turn a blind eye. If you don't have a way, you will be surrounded by the coast guard as soon as you go out to sea.

After much deliberation, Lu Yongqiang decided to set up a food street, driving people selling snacks from several streets to one street, and even asked his younger brothers to push carts to sell snacks. Then he started all kinds of publicity and organized activities.

Although there were some twists and turns in the middle, the snack street was really made popular by Lu Yongqiang. Anyway, the income brought to Lu Yongqiang by this snack street every month was enough for him to make up for his losses.

Huangmaoji's grandmother sets up a stall in the snack street.

After the snack street became popular, many people went there to play. One day, Feilong took some people to stroll around the snack street.

These gangsters with some backgrounds are all arrogant, and Feilong is used to being arrogant. He ate at Huangmao Ji's stall, and Huangmao Ji's stall didn't pay. Huangmao Ji just quarreled with him for a few words, and Feilong overturned the stall. After that, he wanted to hit people.

Later, Lu Yongqiang's men stepped forward, and Grandma Huangmao Ji was not beaten. However, the reputation of the Crow was too great, and Lu Yongqiang's men did not dare to do anything to Feilong, so they could only let Feilong go.

Huangmaoji has an older brother who learns boxing in a boxing gym. He is very skilled, but such a capable person has a bad temper. When Huangmaoji heard that his grandmother was being bullied, of course he was unwilling to let it go. A few days later, he caught Feilong alone and beat him up.

At this point, the matter had become a feud. Feilong then brought dozens of people to block Huangmaoji's brother and broke both of his legs. He also injured Huangmaoji's grandmother.

When Lu Yongqiang met Huang Maoji, Huang Maoji was seeking revenge on Feilong, and was then surrounded and beaten by Feilong's men. If Lu Yongqiang had not intervened, Huang Maoji would probably have been admitted to the hospital.

Although Lu Yongqiang came forward to protect Huang Maoji, the matter was not over yet.

After all, Lu Yongqiang's power was not strong enough. The reason why he was able to protect Huang Maoji at that time was because he was on the territory of Hongxing and Feilong had to give in temporarily.

Lu Yongqiang also knew that this matter was not over, so he had been warning Huang Maoji in the past few months not to leave the Hongxing territory, especially not to go to the Dongxing territory.

But Huang Maoji simply didn't listen to Lu Yongqiang's words. He had been practicing boxing with Dadong in the past few months and thought that his skills were much better than before, so he secretly went to Feilong for revenge, and then was caught by Feilong and beaten up. Fortunately, Lu Yongqiang and his men arrived in time, otherwise Feilong would not let Huang Maoji go easily.

In order to rescue the person, Lu Yongqiang did not pay any price. He gave Feilong 100,000 yuan, and only then did Feilong release the person.

Lu Yongqiang lost 100,000 yuan. After returning, he started to curse at Huang Maoji. Then, Lu Yongqiang said that Huang Maoji was a fool and a stupid guy. He knew that Feilong was powerful, but he still chose to fight him head-on. He didn't use a sneak attack on Feilong and played dirty tricks in secret.

Then Huangmao Ji listened to it. This kid had been planning for half a month, and then he got the chance tonight and directly tied up the drunk Feilong.
