Hong Kong Variety Show: The Development Notes of a Boss
Chapter 49 Election, Foil
When holding a gang meeting, the boss usually only brings the gang's red stick or white paper fan to the meeting, and the rest of the younger brothers will wait outside the Zhongyi Hall. After all, this is the Hongxing gang meeting. If there are a lot of younger brothers in the Zhongyi Hall, it would be a bit embarrassing.
But Big Boss B is different. He now has a strong army and occupies a prosperous area like Causeway Bay. He has money and connections, and he is Jiang Tiansheng's confidant, so he is very arrogant.
Big Brother B walked into the Zhongyi Hall with his five younger brothers. With his gait like a dragon and the gait of a tiger, and the five younger brothers following behind him, people who didn't know him would think he was the leader of the Hongxing gang.
In the past, no one wanted to offend Big Boss B, so even if they were dissatisfied, they would not say it to his face.
But this time was different. Fatty Li spoke directly, "Big B, this is a gang meeting. Do you still have any manners? Bringing in all sorts of people?"
The story between Fatty Lai and Big Brother B had already spread throughout Hongxing. Everyone in the room knew about it, and when they saw Fatty Lai speak, they were all happy to watch the fun.
Big Brother B was arrogant and unruly, so his underlings naturally followed suit and became especially arrogant and unruly. After Fatty Li finished speaking, before Big Brother B could even open his mouth, the underlings behind him stood up and cursed, "Fatty, who are you calling a cat or a dog? Believe it or not..."
Before he could finish his words, the person next to him covered his mouth. There was still a smart person there. If he had let the person finish his words, there would have been some fun today.
The five younger brothers behind Big Brother B are the famous Five Tigers of Causeway Bay, namely Chen Haonan, Shan Ji, Da Tian Er, Chao Pi and Bao Pi.
These people have indeed done a lot for the society in recent years and have established a great reputation in Causeway Bay. Normally, many gang leaders have to give them some face.
Although these few people are famous, they have no status in Hongxing. Until now, they are still the "four-nine boys" of Hongxing.
Big Brother B has always regarded these people as his own nephews and nieces, and among them, Chen Haonan, was even trained by Big Brother B as his own son. He wanted to give them a higher status, but the Causeway Bay Gang was full of talented people, and Chen Haonan and his friends were not the only ones with abilities.
For example, the nominal Red Stick Big Boss of the Causeway Bay Gang, this person's ability is not inferior to Chen Haonan. In fact, to some extent, Big Boss's ability is even better than Chen Haonan.
Datou has been a member of Hongxing longer than Chen Haonan and his friends. Before Chen Haonan and his friends became disciples of Big Brother B, Datou had already gained considerable fame in Hongxing. At that time, he was the most capable fighter under Big Brother B.
Many people like Chen Haonan who later became disciples of Big Brother B also learned boxing from Datou. For example, Chen Haonan and others learned boxing from Datou back then.
When Big Boss B led his men to attack Causeway Bay, Big Head made a significant contribution. It can be said that Big Head deserves at least half of the credit for Big Boss B’s current status.
However, Big Head's ending was not good. It might be because his achievements were too great and made Big Brother B afraid of him. So when Big Brother B accidentally killed someone, the police happened to find evidence. When someone was needed to take the blame for Big Brother B, Big Brother B tricked Big Head and let him participate in the lottery. In the end, Big Head drew the red lot and was sent to the kiln.
At that time, Datou was already a Red Stick in the Causeway Bay Gang. Normally, with his status, he shouldn't have to take the blame for Big Boss B. However, Big Boss B used words to pressure Datou, and out of loyalty, Datou participated in the lottery. In the end, under Big Boss B's premeditated plan, he drew the red lot and was sent to the torture pit.
After Datou drew the red ticket, Big Brother B promised to help him find a way to reduce his sentence. However, when Datou was really imprisoned in Stanley, Big Brother B not only did not help Datou find a solution, he even never visited Datou once. It seemed that he had deliberately forgotten about Datou.
Although Datou entered Stanley, as long as he did not die or voluntarily quit Hung Hing, he would still be a Red Stick in Causeway Bay. He occupied the position of Red Stick, so of course Chen Haonan and others had nothing to do with it.
Besides Red Stick Big Head, White Paper Fan and Straw Sandals from the Causeway Bay Gang were also prominent figures on Harbour Road. However, these two were smarter than Big Head. After Big Head entered Stanley, they stopped caring about the Gang's affairs and focused solely on their own properties. While they weren't involved, they still held their positions, and Big Boss B couldn't push them too hard, so the stalemate had persisted for years.
The red stick, white paper fan, and straw sandals were already in stock. No matter how capable Chen Haonan and his companions were, they could only be good servants.
Although no nominal status was given to several of them, Big Boss B was indeed good to them, especially Chen Haonan. Big Boss B would take him wherever he went.
Among the five people, Chen Haonan is the most capable. Not only is he the best fighter, he is also prudent and smart. He is considered the leader of the others.
Shan Ji is slightly weaker than Chen Haonan in ability. He is not bad in martial arts and has the ability to get things done, but he is lustful and can't walk when he sees a beautiful woman. In addition to being lustful, he also has the bad habit of speaking without thinking.
Just like what you said to Fatty Li just now, you didn't think it through. It's okay that you look down on Fatty Li in private, but you dared to speak to Fatty Li like that in front of so many big guys in Zhongyi Hall. This is already a crime of disrespect. To be more serious, it is a violation of gang rules.
Datianer, this person is very similar to Chen Haonan, but his abilities in all aspects are slightly weaker than Chen Haonan. He ranks third among the five.
Chao Pi and Bao Pi were the supporting characters among the five. Chao Pi was relatively good; although he wasn't very capable, he still had some skills. Bao Pi, on the other hand, was a complete loser. Not only was he incompetent, he was also timid and cowardly. If he hadn't followed Chen Haonan and the others, he would never have made a name for himself and would have been nothing more than a dwarf mule his entire life.
After Chen Haonan covered Shan Ji's mouth, he still wanted to speak. Big Brother B turned around and glared at him fiercely, which made him stop.
Big Brother B said to Fatty Li, "Fatty Li, we've just had some conflicts recently. Why are you making such a fuss now? I've brought these guys to meetings before, so why didn't you have any objections? If you do this, it's really unmannerly."
Big Brother B's words left Fatty Li completely speechless. If he continued to pester him, it would only make him more embarrassed, but if he remained silent, it didn't seem to be any better either.
Just when Fatty Li was in a dilemma, Liang Kun stepped forward to help him out. Liang Kun said, "Big B, look at these people in Zhongyi Hall. They are either the bosses of a certain area or the red sticks in the hall. Even the lowest-ranking ones are the straw sandals in the society!
And you? You always bring a few of your idiots to squeeze in, and everyone's already been dissatisfied with this. If everyone was like you, each bringing four or five of your followers to the meeting, then our Hongxing Tong meetings would be lively, right?
In the past, no one said anything because they were giving you, Big B, face. Now that Fatty Li has spoken today, Big B, you should be more careful in the future and don't bring just anyone to Zhongyi Hall."
When they were young, Big Brother B and Leung Kun had a pretty good relationship. Both came from housing estates in Tsz Wan Shan, and when they first joined Hung Hing, they supported each other. Back then, they were Chiang Tiansheng's right-hand men, contributing greatly to his success. However, as Chiang Tiansheng became the gang's leader, their relationship grew increasingly distant.
Liang Kun's words left Big Boss B speechless. For a moment he didn't know how to refute and could only look at other people, hoping someone could help him out.
But after Liang Kun finished speaking, no one in the room spoke, but all looked at Big Brother B. Just like Liang Kun said, everyone had been dissatisfied with this for a long time, so naturally no one would come to Big Brother B's rescue now.
Fatty Li saw that Big Boss B was humiliated and was about to add insult to injury, but just as he was about to speak, footsteps were heard and Jiang Tiansheng brought Chen Yao into Zhongyi Hall.
When they saw Jiang Tiansheng come in, everyone in the room stood up and greeted him, even Liang Kun. This was the prestige of the leader of the Hongxing clan.
Jiang Tiansheng waved his hand and said with a smile, "Everyone, sit down! Sit down and talk!" Then he walked over to Big Brother B. He reached out and patted Big Brother B on the shoulder, then chuckled and said, "Big Brother, tell your little brother to find a seat too. Why are you standing here?"
Jiang Tiansheng's words helped Big Boss B out of the predicament, and Big Boss B immediately ordered Chen Haonan and the others to find a seat in a corner. The situation just now also made him realize that he had incurred public wrath, so he didn't dare to let Chen Haonan and the others sit behind him anymore, and instead kept a low profile.
After Jiang Tiansheng sat down, he did not get straight to the point, but instead chatted with the big guys present one by one, even including Liang Kun, with whom he had a bad relationship.
Jiang Tiansheng was undoubtedly a man of immense charisma. No matter who he spoke with, he could always find a topic of their greatest interest. For example, when chatting with Brother Ji, he focused on women; while with Ma Wangjian, the conversation naturally turned to horse racing. In short, after this casual conversation, every boss's face was beaming, even the stern-faced Xiyan.
After some small talk, Jiang Tiansheng gave Chen Yao a look, and Chen Yao began to speak, "Five days ago, Uncle Quan, the leader of the Tuen Mun Tong, tragically passed away. The Tuen Mun Tong is one of the twelve Hongxing Tongs and cannot be left unattended for long. The reason we've called everyone here for a meeting today is to elect a new leader for the Tuen Mun Tong. If you have any suitable candidates in mind, you can recommend them now. Of course, if you feel you have the qualifications and ability, you can also nominate yourself. We'll then vote on it by show of hands."
As Chen Yao finished speaking, Thirteenth Sister spoke up, "I recommend Long Kong. He's the Red Stick of the Tuen Mun Tong. Now that Uncle Quan is in trouble, he should be the one to take over."
After Thirteenth Sister finished speaking, no one spoke for a long time. Everyone knew that the new leader of the Tuen Mun Tong could only be Dinosaur, so no one wanted to fight for the position, and of course no one was interested in recommending their own people.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Chen Yao coughed twice and then looked at Brother Ji.
Seeing Chen Yao looking at him, Brother Ji said, "I recommend Handsome Qiang. Although he's just a member of the Tuen Mun Gang, he recently took over the entire boat gang's territory. This is a great achievement in expanding the territory. I think he's qualified to be the new leader!"
Lu Yongqiang glanced at Brother Ji and felt a little helpless. It was obvious that he was being made to serve as a foil for the dinosaurs.
After Brother Ji finished speaking, Chen Yao turned his gaze to Ma Wangjian.
Receiving Chen Yao's gaze, Ma Wangjian coughed and said, "I recommend Baizhishan Siyan from Tuen Mun. He recently took over the Qingshan Bay Fish Market and three nearby streets. Judging from his contributions, he is qualified to be the leader."
After Ma Wangjian finished speaking, Chen Yao stopped giving glances to others. It seemed that he had only arranged two people to help him.
After a while, no one spoke, so Chen Yao said, "Since no one else recommends anyone else, the new leader of the Tuen Mun Tong will be chosen from among these three."
As he spoke, Chen Yao looked at Longkong, Lu Yongqiang, and Four Eyes, and continued, "Dinosaur, Handsome Qiang, Four Eyes, stand up and show yourselves so that everyone can have a good look at you and get to know you."
Since Chen Yao had spoken, the others had no objections. They all stood up and bowed to everyone around them as a greeting.
Chen Yao gestured for everyone to sit down, then said, "Everyone has seen the people. If you don't have any objections, then let's start voting!"
"Please raise your hands if you choose the most handsome guy."
After Chen Yao finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang originally thought that he would not get a single vote, but to his surprise, he actually got three votes. The ones who voted for him were Xiyan, Ji Ge, and Liang Kun. Even Fatty Li, who had a request for him, did not raise his hand.
Chen Yao said, "Handsome guy, three votes. Now, those who vote for four eyes, please raise your hands."
Siyan is even worse off than Lu Yongqiang, with only one pitiful vote, and that was cast by Ma Wangjian. After all, it was Ma Wangjian who recommended him. If Ma Wangjian didn't vote for Siyan, that would be a bit unreasonable.
Chen Yao then said, "One vote for four eyes. Now, those who chose dinosaurs, please raise your hands."
As soon as Chen Yao finished speaking, everyone raised their hands except the four people who had just voted.
Chen Yao said, "Dinosaur got nine votes. He received more than half of the votes, so the result of this vote is valid."
After Chen Yao finished speaking, Jiang Tiansheng said, "Since the voting results are valid, I declare that Long Kong is temporarily elected as the new leader of the Tuen Mun Tong."
"Dinosaur, the Tuen Mun Hall will depend on you for the next three months. I hope you won't let me down."
Jiang Tiansheng, a man with a long-term vision, had long realized that the society was not a long-term solution and had been planning to clean up the society for the past few years. Jiang Tiansheng intended to turn Hongxing into a company, allowing the society to continue in this form.
Therefore, in recent years, many of the rules of Hongxing have gradually become different from those of other societies.
If it were any other society, since the result had already been chosen, Dinosaur would be the leader of the Tuen Mun branch in the future. However, this is not the case in the current Hung Hing. Dinosaur is only temporarily taking over the position of leader.
The society gave Dinosaur three months. If nothing happened in the Tuen Mun branch during this period, Dinosaur would be able to secure the position of leader. However, if any problems occurred, the society would re-elect a leader.
