Hong Kong Variety Show: The Development Notes of a Boss

After coming out of Jiang Tiansheng's villa, Lu Yongqiang called Fatty Li and asked him if he was ready. If he was, Zhang Shun could be allowed to pass.

After calling Fatty Li, Lu Yongqiang called Zhang Shun and Siyan respectively.

On the third day, Fatty Lai hosted a dinner at a big restaurant in North Point. Not only did he invite the leaders of the twelve gangs, Chen Yao, and Jiang Tiansheng, he also invited many uncles to dinner.

Fatty Lai is one of the Twelve Big Brothers of Hongxing after all. Although he is not very powerful, he still has some face. He personally called to invite people to dinner, and not many people refused to go.

Guests began arriving at the hotel from around ten o'clock in the morning.

The first to arrive were the uncles. No matter how famous these people were in the past, they were now just a title and had no real power, so they did not put on airs and came early.

Around 11 o'clock, the first leader of the Hongxing gang, Brother Ji, arrived. He wasn't exaggerating about having friends all over the world. If you showed any signs of making a name for yourself, Brother Ji would definitely give you enough face. This was true for Lu Yongqiang, and for everyone else as well. Brother Ji wouldn't put on any airs in front of the lesser savages like Chen Haonan, Shan Ji, and Long Kong.

Before you become successful, Brother Ji has been trying to build a good relationship with you. Although he won't give you any actual help, in the underworld, sometimes giving you face is more important than giving you benefits.

In addition, Brother Ji is a fence-sitter, so no matter who comes to power, he will flatter you. For this kind of person, although the people above him don't like him, they don't have much malice towards him, and the people below him will also be full of goodwill towards him. Over time, he will naturally have friends all over the world.

Fatty Li's main reason for the dinner was to discuss Zhang Shun's transfer to the sect. He hadn't mentioned it to anyone at first, fearing potential complications. After all, people's minds were unpredictable, and some might not be willing to see Zhang Shun transfer to Fatty Li's fold. But now, even if some people were unhappy, it wouldn't help, so he let it go.

So today, the people welcoming guests included Fatty Lai, Lu Yongqiang, and Zhang Shun. Their positions were also very interesting: Fatty Lai and Lu Yongqiang stood side by side, while Zhang Shun stood behind Fatty Lai. This position was so confusing that anyone who saw it would be confused.

Brother Ji was stunned when he saw this. He was stunned for a moment and pulled Lu Yongqiang aside and said softly, "Aqiang, what's wrong with Zhang Shun? He can't even tell who his boss is?"

Hearing Brother Ji's question, Lu Yongqiang smiled and said, "Brother Ji, didn't Brother Li tell you when he invited us? Today, he invited us mainly because Zhang Shunguo blocked his door. Zhang Shun will be his younger brother in the future, so it's only natural for him to stand behind him."

Hearing what Lu Yongqiang said, Brother Ji was stunned for a moment, then asked doubtfully: "Aqiang, why did you let Zhang Shun pass through to block Lao Li's door? You're cutting off an arm, which won't do you any good."

Hearing Brother Ji's question, Lu Yongqiang was delighted. In addition to being a fence-sitter, Brother Ji was also a well-known big mouth in the underworld. Some things could quickly spread throughout the entire Hong Kong underworld after he spoke.

Lu Yongqiang pretended to be a bit aggrieved and said with an expression of resignation on his face: "Brother Ji, do you think I am willing to let Zhang Shun pass and become Brother Li's disciple? But I have no choice!

Brother Ji, you should know what happened between Big Brother B and me the day before yesterday! I was sitting at home when disaster struck. The mama-san under Sister Lan died, and Big Brother B insisted that I sent someone to do it. He directly sent his little brother to beat us up, and finally caused such a big mess that I got a lesson from Mr. Jiang.

That mama-san is Sister Lan's apprentice, works in Mr. Jiang's place, and is Big Brother B's woman. With this kind of background, am I crazy to send someone to kill her?

"Talking about this, I'm just furious. I was really tricked this time. That night at the nightclub, I felt something was wrong. I may not be well-known in Hongxing, but I'm still considered a small boss. That Mama-san is a veteran, and although she has a strong background, I have no grudge against her. She didn't need to go out of her way to slap me in the face, right?"

After hearing what Lu Yongqiang said, Brother Ji hesitated for a moment and said, "Aqiang, I don't quite understand. What does what you just said have to do with Zhang Shun blocking Lao Li?"

Lu Yongqiang smiled bitterly and said, "What does it matter? This is just to reassure some people. If Zhang Shun were still my disciple, some people would inevitably suspect that I would really subdue Zhang Shun and take his place. That's why they always regard me as a thorn in their side.

Now that Zhang Shun has joined Brother Li's sect, I'll give most of Zhang Shun's territory to Siyan. By then, Siyan will be stronger than me, so people will be able to trust me!"

After talking with Brother Ji for a while and putting the blame on Dinosaur, Lu Yongqiang went to the toilet contentedly.

Brother Ji is also a talented person. He looked down on Zhang Shun at the beginning. After all, Zhang Shun was just a younger brother of Lu Yongqiang, and this younger brother was not on the same page with Lu Yongqiang. To be honest, Zhang Shun's situation was not very good.

But when he heard that Zhang Shun was about to join Fatty Li, Brother Ji's thoughts immediately changed. With the way Fatty Li had acted today, Zhang Shun would definitely be Fatty Li's top man. This kind of person could barely be considered a successful gangster. Of course, Brother Ji wouldn't miss the opportunity to build a good relationship with him.

So as soon as Lu Yongqiang left, Brother Ji immediately started talking enthusiastically to Zhang Shun.

None of these big guys are easy to deal with. According to Lu Yongqiang's opinion, Zhang Shun should find a few elders to witness this matter and it is best to keep a low profile.

But Fatty Li wasn't willing to do that. He'd staged such a scene today, frankly, to win over people and show everyone how much he valued Zhang Shun. That way, even if Zhang Shun's power increased significantly, he wouldn't attack him. After all, after what happened today, if Zhang Shun dared to disrespect him in the future, he'd be ungrateful. Third, he was plotting against Lu Yongqiang. Lu Yongqiang had just clashed with Big Boss B the day before yesterday, and now Lu Yongqiang was being so intimate with Fatty Li. What would Big Boss B think? Should Big Boss B consider Lu Yongqiang's side if he and Fatty Li clashed again?

Fat Lai has his own calculations, but Lu Yongqiang also has his own ideas. He has no backing in Hongxing and can't say much to the twelve bosses. Although Xiyan treats him differently, a big boss like Xiyan has long been able to keep his emotions secret. It is hard to say how much sincerity he has in his words.

Lu Yongqiang thought about it carefully. He had completely offended Big Brother B. As for Jiang Tiansheng, even though Jiang Tiansheng didn't say anything harsh to him the day before yesterday and seemed to have no ill will towards him, the hour or so spent in the sun was a punishment and warning to him.

As for Dinosaur, unless he leaves Tuen Mun, the conflict between him and Dinosaur will not be resolved. If he offends Dinosaur, it will be equivalent to offending Han Bin and Thirteenth Sister.

Lu Yongqiang was shocked when he thought about it. Without realizing it, he had offended four of the twelve leaders of Hongxing. In addition, Jiang Tiansheng didn't have a good impression of him. His life was not going to be easy.

So Lu Yongqiang also needs allies. Fatty Li made such a big scene today, so Lu Yongqiang didn't say anything.

Many of the leaders came at lunchtime. Around twelve o'clock, except for Jiang Tiansheng, Chen Yao, and Big Brother B, everyone else had arrived.

Fatty Li, Lu Yongqiang and others were waiting for Jiang Tiansheng and his friends at the hotel entrance, while the others were chatting in the private room.

Brother Ji's reputation for being a big mouth is well-deserved. When Liang Ma and Ma Wangjian were talking about the shooting of their mother, Sister Sang Li, Brother Ji interrupted.

"Mama, I have a different opinion from you about the death of your Mama-san. I think it wasn't Mama-san's doing, but someone framed him!"

Hearing Brother Ji's sudden interruption, a trace of annoyance flashed across Liang Ma's face. She had just been talking in a low voice with Ma Wangjian, and Ma Wangjian asked her if she had any suspects. Liang Ma casually mentioned the conflict between Lu Yongqiang and Mama-san, and just said that the incident might have been done by someone sent by Lu Yongqiang.

I didn't expect that Brother Ji would not only interrupt but also say such words. This means that she has already determined that Lu Yongqiang is the mastermind. Doesn't this make her offend Lu Yongqiang?

Pretty Mom glared at Brother Ji, then said, "Dou Shui Ji, what nonsense are you talking about? Did I ever say that Pretty Boy was responsible for Ali's death? You have poor hearing, so if you didn't hear clearly, don't go around saying that."

Hearing the beautiful mother scolding people, Brother Ji was not angry. He smiled and said, "Beautiful mother, I was wrong! I apologize! I spoke without thinking."

After apologizing to Pretty Mom, Brother Ji put his head close to Pretty Mom's ear and said, "Pretty Mom, don't you want to know who killed your Mama-san?"

The pretty mother hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Brother Ji, do you know something? If you do, just tell me, and then you can choose any of my girls."

After hearing what the pretty mother said, Brother Ji's eyes lit up and he immediately repeated what Lu Yongqiang had said to him.

After hearing what Brother Ji said, Pretty Mom thought for a moment and said, "Brother Ji, someone told you this, right? If I'm not mistaken, it should be that Pretty Boy Qiang! Although this guy is young, what he said may not be true."

Hearing what Pretty Mom said, Brother Ji admitted it very openly. He said, "Pretty Mom, that Pretty Boy Qiang is indeed not simple, like an old fox. I don't know why he has so many ideas at such a young age. You really can't believe everything he says.

But in this case, I think he wasn't lying. You know, because of the conflict between Big Boss B and him, not only did this guy allow Zhang Shunguo to block Lao Li's way, but he also lost most of Zhang Shun's original territory to Four Eyes from Tuen Mun. So, all in all, he suffered a significant loss."

After hearing what Brother Ji said, Pretty Mom said in surprise, "Koushui Ji, you didn't lie to me? Did that guy really give most of Zhang Shun's original territory to Four Eyes from Tuen Mun?"

Brother Ji said, "How could I lie to you about this? When I heard that guy talking about this just now, I called my friends in Tuen Mun and they confirmed that most of the land is in the hands of that four-eyed man."

After hearing what Brother Ji said, Pretty Mom glanced at Dinosaur and Han Bin opposite her with a grim expression. After hearing that Lu Yongqiang gave away most of the benefits he had obtained to others, Pretty Mom also began to doubt Dinosaur and Han Bin.

Although Mama-san and Pretty Mom had been together for a long time, their relationship was not that good. Pretty Mom was angry not because of Mama-san's death, but because no one wants to be schemed against.

While several big guys were talking, Jiang Tiansheng, Chen Yao, and Big Boss B came over together.

When they saw Lu Yongqiang and Fatty Li standing side by side at the door to welcome guests, they immediately showed puzzled expressions.

At this time, Fatty Li introduced: "Mr. Jiang, Ah Yao, and Big B, let me introduce you to Zhang Shun, the disciple I am going to accept today. The reason I am treating you today is to introduce Ah Shun to everyone."

After hearing what Fatty Li said, Jiang Tiansheng and Chen Yao all reacted, except for Big Brother B who was not smart enough to react.

Jiang Tiansheng and Chen Yao glanced at each other, then gave Lu Yongqiang a meaningful look. Chen Yao then said directly, "Old Li, I remember Zhang Shun was Qiangzi's subordinate. When did he ever get in your way?"

Before Fatty Li could even open his mouth, Lu Yongqiang said, "Brother Li has always admired Ah Shun. He approached me earlier, wanting Ah Shun to join him, but I've been hesitant to make up my mind. A lot has happened in the past two days, and I'm really struggling to cope. I think Ah Shun might be my unlucky sidekick. Ever since I took him in, things haven't been going my way. I might as well just let him join Brother Li."

Lu Yongqiang's words seemed like nonsense, but he was actually complaining, saying that Zhang Shun had no choice but to block him. Another point was that he took the opportunity to put on a veil in front of Jiang Tiansheng.

Lu Yongqiang paused for a moment and then said to Chen Yao, "Brother Yao, speaking of this, I just happen to have something to report to you. After Ah Shun came under Brother Li's wing, he didn't plan to continue developing in Tuen Mun, so he left all his territory to me.

But I feel that my ability is limited and I can't manage so many territories, so I gave most of the territories that Ah Shun left me to Siyan. Please tell Brother Yao about this, so that when the time comes to pay the membership fee, you won't think that I didn't pay enough."

Hearing that Lu Yongqiang had given most of Zhang Shun's territory to Siyan, Chen Yao said in surprise, "Qiangzi, I remember that Ah Shun had quite a few properties. How did you and Siyan divide them up?"

Lu Yongqiang smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Yao, you know that Tuen Mun is poor. We don't have much money for protection fees. Siyan is a smart man. I didn't give him enough benefits, so he couldn't have taken over such a large territory. So I only took Ah Shun's seafood farm and slaughterhouse in Siu Lam. I gave all other properties, including Ah Shun's two bars, to Siyan."

Hearing what Lu Yongqiang said, Chen Yao said, "Qiangzi, you've suffered a lot of losses by doing this. Don't you feel it's a loss?"

Lu Yongqiang's face turned even uglier. He said bitterly, "Loss? Of course I feel it's a loss. But what can I do? If I really take over all of Ah Shun's land and assets, I'm afraid I'll never have peace."

At this point, Lu Yongqiang turned around and teased Fatty Li, "Brother Li, why don't I just come over and block your door? My demands are not high, just give me a piece of land."
