Hong Kong Variety Show: The Development Notes of a Boss

The study in Dong Quan's villa was hushed and silent, save for the subtle rustle of the brush tip against the paper. Dong Quan, brush in hand, wrote intently, while Dong Si stood quietly by his side. A suffocating, solemn atmosphere permeated the room.

Dong Si's face was rather gloomy. She had just stepped into the room and greeted Dong Quan three times in succession, but Dong Quan remained silent. Knowing Dong Quan's temperament well, Dong Si understood that this meant that Dong Quan was dissatisfied with her.

About half an hour later, Dong Quan finally slowly put down the brush in his hand and gently picked up a towel to wipe his hands. Then he raised his head, stared at Dong Si with a sharp gaze, and asked, "Sisi, I heard that you stayed at Qiangzi's house for nearly an hour, and you were the only two in the house at the time?"

As soon as Dong Quan finished speaking, Dong Si's expression instantly became more and more embarrassed. The bodyguard beside her was assigned by Dong Quan himself. She had already expected this and knew that the bodyguard was actually Dong Quan's man.

However, she never expected the bodyguard to report every detail to Dong Quan. What kind of role did he occupy? Was he a bodyguard, or was he simply responsible for keeping an eye on her? Did this mean Dong Quan never truly trusted her? A series of questions flooded Dong Si's mind, leaving her feeling utterly bewildered.

Seeing Dong Si standing there speechless, Dong Quan asked again, "Si Si, you're not really in love with Qiangzi, are you?"

Hearing Dong Quan asking himself again, Dong Si answered, "Uncle Quan, didn't you let me get close to Aqiang? What do you mean by questioning me now?"

Dong Quan said coldly, "I asked you to get close to Qiangzi, but I didn't ask you to develop real feelings for him. Sisi, do you know what I need you to do? You've disappointed me so much!"

Hearing Dong Quan say this, Dong Si asked with an unpleasant expression, "Uncle Quan, are you suspicious of me? Just because I was alone with Aqiang for an hour, you start to doubt me?"

Seeing Dong Si's grim expression, Dong Quan softened his tone. He said, "Si Si, Uncle Quan isn't doubting you. He's just worried you might get hurt. Ah Qiang is a completely different person now. If you develop real feelings for him, you'll definitely be the one who suffers in the end."

Seeing that Dong Quan's tone had softened, Dong Si began to explain, "Uncle Quan, don't worry, I know what I should do. I don't have any real feelings for Aqiang. I'm just playing with him." Although she said so, only Dong Si herself knew that she was really attracted to Lu Yongqiang.

Dong Quan didn't know if he really believed Dong Si's explanation, but a smile appeared on his face. He said with a smile, "It's good that you didn't fall in love. It's good that you didn't fall in love. Alas! Few people in this business can have a happy ending. They're not the perfect match. Sisi, Uncle Quan, I really don't want you to get hurt."

As Dong Quan finished speaking, Dong Si's eyes flickered and he said, "Uncle Quan, the matter you asked me to investigate has yielded results. The snakehead Ming's gang was probably killed by Aqiang."

As Dong Si finished speaking, Dong Quan asked, "Did that mainland girl tell you that?"

Dong Si said, "Yes! It was Gangsheng who told me. Gangsheng had smuggled herself into Hong Kong from the north. Because she was pretty, the snakehead had detained her. She was rescued by Aqiang last night."

Dong Quan remained silent after Dong Si finished speaking. He thought for a moment before speaking, "Sisi, did you deliver the message I asked you to give to Qiangzi? What did Qiangzi say?"

Dong Si said, "Uncle Quan, Ah Qiang asked me to tell you that he has no interest in being the leader of the Tuen Mun Gang. He just wants to make money now." Dong Si hesitated for a moment and continued, "Uncle Quan, I don't think Ah Qiang is lying. He really doesn't seem to have any intention of getting ahead in the underworld.

Although the Four Seas Gang's territory isn't adjacent to Ah Qiang's, even if Ah Qiang were to take over all of the Four Seas Gang's territory, no one would find fault. Even if the boat gang is wary, we are Hongxing after all, so Lu Wuye wouldn't dare to provoke Ah Qiang.

But in this situation, Aqiang actually gave the territory to Annan. This is not something a gangster would do."

After hearing what Dong Si said, Dong Quan thought for a moment and said, "I hope Qiangzi is really not interested in the underworld.

I'm worried that Qiangzi is giving up his territory to Nanzi because he's afraid of me. If that's the case, we have to be more vigilant against Qiangzi. I'm not afraid of this barking dog; the louder it barks, the less likely it is to hurt you. But a venomous snake hiding in a corner might only need one bite at the critical moment to inflict fatal damage.

It has to be said that the person who knows you best is always your opponent. Dong Quan guessed correctly. The reason why Lu Yongqiang never thought of occupying the Sihai Gang's territory was actually because he was afraid of Dong Quan.

The Tuen Mun Tong was now divided into three factions. Dong Quan was nominally the leader of the Tong, but he was getting old, and his control over the Tong was waning. The only people he could publicly command were those under Four Eyes. Of course, for an old fox like Dong Quan, no one knew what cards he had until the very last moment. This old man must have other people secretly working for him.

Dinosaur is the Red Stick of the Tuen Mun Gang. He has the largest territory, the most people under his command, and a brother who is the leader. He is the most powerful person among the three parties.

Lu Yongqiang is just a clerk in the Tuen Mun gang. He has a lower status than others, the least territory, and seems to be the weakest. He can only survive in the cracks.

This pattern was deliberately promoted by Lu Yongqiang, so he didn't want to break it at this time.

Moreover, Lu Yongqiang has never valued empty titles such as Red Stick and Leader. He cares more about whether he has the strength. In his opinion, as long as he is strong enough, even if he only has straw sandals, he can always have a foothold in Tuen Mun.

In the underworld, territory and subordinates can represent strength, but money represents strength even more. As long as you have money, it is easy to get territory and subordinates.

Originally, Lu Yongqiang planned to catch up on some sleep at home today, after all, he was busy until the early morning last night. However, after a friendly match with Dong Si in the morning, he was no longer sleepy for a while, and finally followed Duxie to the boxing gym.

"Brother Qiang, come on!"

"Boss, defeat the poisonous scorpion!"

"Scorpion, don't be a coward. Go up and fight the boss?"

…………

Lu Yongqiang and Duxie were sparring in the boxing ring, with a few younger brothers watching from below.

Because the system's reward requires two months of practice, Scorpion's Hung Fist has not yet reached the mastery level, but although it has not reached the mastery level, it is still much better than the skilled level.

Lu Yongqiang's boxing skills are only at the proficient level of Muay Thai. If they only compete in boxing and kicking, he is really no match for Poison Scorpion. However, he is proficient in short knife skills, which makes him very flexible. In addition, he is stronger than Poison Scorpion, so it is actually very easy for him to defeat Poison Scorpion. However, Lu Yongqiang has the attribute of the sixth brother. With his strength, he can only expose five layers in front of the public, and keep the rest for the ambush.

As Lu Yongqiang conserved his strength, he fought against the Poison Scorpion on equal terms. The two fought for thirty or forty rounds, but the winner was still undecided.

Poison Scorpion was a man with a violent and irritable personality. After hearing his men's shouts of encouragement, he roared like thunder, and then rushed towards Lu Yongqiang without hesitation, while raising his fist and hitting Lu Yongqiang's head hard!

The two sides fought back and forth for thirty or forty rounds. After that, Lu Yongqiang had a general understanding of the current strength of the Scorpion and no longer wanted to continue.

At that moment, the scorpion lunged forward recklessly, appearing ferocious, but revealing a flaw. In a flash, Lu Yongqiang's eyes lit up, and he quickly dodged the scorpion's punch, then followed it up with a powerful punch to the abdomen, sending it reeling back two steps. Seizing this opportunity, Lu Yongqiang pursued the scorpion. With a swift, swift movement, he suddenly reached out and tightly grasped the scorpion's sturdy waist. Then, with all his might, he lifted it high into the air and swung it backward, delivering a clean, sweeping shoulder throw. Before the scorpion could even struggle to its feet, Lu Yongqiang swiftly flipped over and quickly straddled its back, pinning it with his powerful body, immobilizing it.

After suppressing the poisonous scorpion, Lu Yongqiang said with a smile: "Poisonous scorpion, aren't you capable? No matter how you look at it now, you still lost to me." As he said that, Lu Yongqiang climbed up from the back of the poisonous scorpion and pulled the poisonous scorpion with him.

Poison Scorpion rubbed his sore butt and said unconvincedly, "I was careless just now. Let's do it again. I will definitely win this time."

"You little bastard, who are you trying to act like a big shot to?" Before he could finish his words, Lu Yongqiang swung his hand hard, slapping the scorpion on the back of its neck. With a crisp "snap," the scorpion stumbled forward a few steps.

Then, Lu Yongqiang leaped down from the ring with ease. After landing, he didn't give up. Instead, he glared at Duxie and continued to lecture him: "With your current abilities, you still dream of defeating me? Forget it! If you want to truly defeat me, you'll have to practice harder. To be honest, even if we fight again, you'll definitely be the loser!"

Seeing Lu Yongqiang walk down from the ring, a flatterer on the side had already handed him a towel to wipe his sweat. Lu Yongqiang took the towel expressionlessly, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead casually, and then shouted: "You guys are just busy watching the fun, don't you need to practice boxing? I provide you with good food and drink on weekdays, so that you can concentrate on practicing boxing, and I also pay you so much money every month. If at the end of the month, when I find that your skills have not improved at all, hehe, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

When everyone heard Lu Yongqiang's harsh words, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they scattered, no longer daring to gather around him and try to please him.

In addition to Lu Yongqiang, Dadong, Duxie and a dozen other people who occasionally come to the boxing gym to practice boxing, there are fifteen other boxers who practice boxing in the gym every day. For this reason, Lu Yongqiang also invited a boxer to come and teach boxing specifically. These are considered Lu Yongqiang's most core group of subordinates.

Originally, Lu Yongqiang planned to look for veterans, especially those who came from the north and had experienced the blood and blood of the war. However, the veterans from the north were not easy to fool. These people either had firm beliefs and were unwilling to become gangsters no matter how much money they were offered, or they asked for too high a price and looked down on the little money Lu Yongqiang offered. Instead of working for Lu Yongqiang, it would be better for them to do business with no capital.

Another point is that it is not easy for people coming from the north to get a resident ID card in Gangcheng. It is not that it is impossible to get it, but if you want to get a formal resident ID card, it will cost at least 30,000 to 20,000 yuan. This is for one or two people. If there are too many people, the price will be several times higher.

After weighing the pros and cons, Lu Yongqiang no longer wanted to look for veterans, but instead planned to train his own men.

Drenched in sweat, Lu Yongqiang walked into the bathroom, turned on the shower, and let the warm water wash over his body. After taking a shower, he casually picked up a towel to wipe his wet hair. When he walked out of the shower room, he was surprised to find Lu Yongheng leading Dadong and Huangmao towards him.

Lu Yongqiang looked at them and asked while wiping the water: "Hengzi, how is the matter going?"

Lu Yongheng pushed his glasses up and replied seriously, "Lanzai Xiong wants a red envelope of 100,000 yuan, otherwise he won't agree to let Huangmao brother transfer."

"One hundred thousand?" Lu Yongqiang was shocked and couldn't help but raise his voice and curse, "This old guy is asking for too much. Does he think I'm easy to bully?" At this point, he paused for a moment, narrowed his eyes, and a cold glint flashed in them. Then he said coldly, "But it doesn't matter. Since he wants money, give it to him! Tomorrow you go find your two uncles and ask them to come forward as witnesses. We will handle this according to the rules of the underworld and resolve this matter first."

Hearing what Lu Yongqiang said, Lu Yongheng nodded and agreed: “Then I will go find someone in a while.”

As Lu Yongheng finished speaking, Huang Maoji suddenly said, "Boss, how about I go and kill that scoundrel Xiong?"

Hearing Huang Maoji say this, Lu Yongqiang rolled his eyes and said, "Huang Mao, I told you to stop hanging out with Duxie. Look, where's your head now? Killing the scoundrel Xiong is easy, but if you kill the scoundrel Xiong, can your brother transfer to Hongxing?"

After hearing what Lu Yongqiang said, Huang Maoji said, "Then wait until my brother passes away, and then I will take action to kill him?"

Lu Yongqiang raised his hand and threw the towel at Huangmao Ji, cursing angrily: "Are you fucking sick? Can you stop talking about killing this and that all the time? We are gangsters, not assassins. Why are you so murderous now?"

After scolding Huang Maoji, Lu Yongqiang asked Lu Yongheng, "Hengzi, who among you taught Huang Maoji to be so murderous now?"

Hearing Lu Yongqiang's question, Lu Yongheng smiled bitterly and said, "Boss, apart from Duxie, there should be no one who teaches Aji. He is the one who wants to do something for you, but firstly, he doesn't know how to manage, and secondly..." At this point, Lu Yongheng pointed to his head, and the meaning was very clear, that is, Huangmao Ji has no brains.

Lu Yongqiang glanced at Huangmaoji, thought for a moment and said, "Huangmao will follow me from now on. He will first learn to drive from Dadong. Once he learns, he will drive for me temporarily."

Hearing what Lu Yongqiang said, Huang Maoji was stunned for a moment and said, "Boss, I..."

Before Huang Maoji could finish his words, Lu Yongqiang gritted his teeth and said, "It's decided. If I let you stay with Duxie again, you'll probably get me into big trouble sooner or later."
