Hong Kong Variety Show: The Development Notes of a Boss
Chapter 65: Participating in Guan Erye’s Birthday
Lu Yongqiang thought about it and felt that Dong Si was right. People like Ba Bi would definitely leave a way to escape. Maybe he could really make a fortune.
The next day, Lu Yongqiang called Shouhou over and asked him to take people to keep an eye on Babi at all times to see if they could find where Babi hid the money.
Shouhou had been a thief for more than ten years and was very talented in tracking people, gathering information, and scouting locations. After Lu Yongqiang discovered this advantage of his, he specially asked him to form a paparazzi team, which was specifically responsible for gathering information and tracking.
What Lu Yongqiang asked Shouhou to do hit the mark exactly. He really liked doing these things from the bottom of his heart. After Lu Yongqiang asked him to form a paparazzi team, his loyalty soared to 86, giving Lu Yongqiang two chances to draw the lottery.
In those two lottery opportunities, Lu Yongqiang drew a theft mastery and five points of combat power.
Trusted subordinate: Ma Kun (Skinny Monkey)
Loyalty: 86 Combat Strength: 41
Skills: Master Thief, Monkey Fist, Dagger, Photography, Marksmanship, Eavesdropping
It is said that if you love what you do, you should love it. After Shouhou formed a paparazzi team, in order to better track and gather information, this guy also learned photography and installed various eavesdropping devices. This shocked Lu Yongqiang.
The paparazzi team formed by Shouhou also has a very strange composition of members.
There are seven people in the paparazzi team including Skinny Monkey. One of them is a former reporter of an entertainment newspaper named Erpang, a famous paparazzi in Hong Kong. Later, he was banned in the circle for secretly photographing the privacy of a big shot in the entertainment industry. When he was down and out, Skinny Monkey found him.
One is a thief who just came out of Stanley, named Loach. He and Skinny Monkey can be considered as brothers from the same school. They learned the skills of a thief from the same master, but they have different specialties. One is good at picking other people's pockets, and the other is good at opening various locks.
One was a peeping Tom, a talent that Skinny Monkey had found in Stanley. His name was Lao Xie, and because of his voyeurism, he had been imprisoned more than ten times and beaten hundreds of times. Lu Yongqiang usually wouldn't let this guy near his residence, because if he couldn't help himself, he might leave something there, and then he'd be in trouble...
One was a driver named Lao Zhang. He was the most normal person in the paparazzi. Apart from the occasional tendency to race with others, he was quite normal. He didn't have any other weird hobbies. He used to be a taxi driver. His driving skills were impeccable. Not only was he fast, but he was also quite stable. However, he was complained about almost every month for racing with others without considering the feelings of the passengers. As a result, taxi companies in Hong Kong, big and small, dared not hire him. When he was struggling to make ends meet, Skinny Monkey found him and he followed Skinny Monkey.
One is a scavenger, called Drunkard. He has more than ten years of experience in scavenging in Hong Kong City. He is very familiar with all the streets in Hong Kong City, big and small. He is simply a walking map. His only problem is that he is addicted to drinking. He is drunk for at least twelve hours out of twenty-four hours a day.
One of them is a mentally ill person named Ma Zi. He loves acting and wants to be a big star. However, his appearance is too abstract. So he has been hanging around in the crew for nearly 20 years without any chance to get ahead. Finally, he went crazy because of this and was sent to a mental hospital. Of course, Shou Hou did not go to the mental hospital to get the person out. Instead, the person was cured and discharged by himself, and then Shou Hou found him.
This paparazzi team was formed by a few strange people. It has been almost half a year now, and Lu Yongqiang has never assigned them any tasks. He usually lets them find out the big and small news of Hong Kong City. This time, letting them follow Ba Bi is their first official mission.
To be honest, Lu Yongqiang was not very optimistic about such a strange team, but Shouhou thought that all of them were talented, and Lu Yongqiang believed in Shouhou, so he never said anything and was willing to spend money to support these people every month.
This time, the skinny monkey did not let Lu Yongqiang down. It only took him three days to figure out where Ba Bi had hidden the money.
The grandson did not look for another place to hide the money. He directly installed a safe in the office of a nightclub.
The reason why Shouhou was sure that this safe was where Babi hid his money was because the safe was not placed openly in the bedroom. Instead, a porch was designed with the safe embedded in the wall. Babi also placed a statue of Guan Gong in front of it and set up a special altar.
This place is considered to be the lair of Xiaozidui. The nightclub is full of Babi's people. Skinny Monkey had to spend a lot of effort to sneak in. Then he installed a camera in Babi's office. If you want to get the contents of the safe out quietly, it is basically impossible.
But as long as the place is found, there will be some chance. Lu Yongqiang thought about it and thought that as long as Ba Bi died, he could organize people to rob him.
Lu Yongqiang thought that Babi's territory was right next to Big Brother B's territory. If Jiang Tiansheng really wanted to kill Babi, Jiang Tiansheng would definitely not let go of Babi's territory. Instead of letting Big Brother B take advantage of it, it would be better for him to take advantage of the chaos and make a fortune.
After finding the place where Ba Bi hid the money, Lu Yongqiang asked Shouhou to take people to keep an eye on Chen Haonan and others. As long as Ba Bi died, he would take action before Big Brother B.
Two days later, Lu Yongqiang brought Dong Si to Jiang Tiansheng's villa early in the morning. Today was Guan Erye's birthday, and he was going to Dongxing with Jiang Tiansheng today.
On a big day like today, even if Dongxing was unhappy with Lu Yongqiang, he would not dare to do anything out of line. Since there was no danger, Lu Yongqiang simply took Dong Si with him.
Jiang Tiansheng didn't bring many people with him today. Apart from Lu Yongqiang, Chen Yao and his girlfriend Fang Ting, he only brought two personal bodyguards.
The group arrived at the hotel arranged by Dongxing. The hotel was already crowded with people, and most of the people who were supposed to come had arrived.
There's no way around it. Jiang Tiansheng is a master at timing. Not only will he time his appearances when holding meetings, but he will also time his appearances when negotiating with people or participating in activities, and only appear when the event is about to start.
The hotel design arranged by Dongxing is very wonderful, a bit like the stage of the past. The first floor is the lobby and the second floor is the open private room. Sitting in the private room on the second floor, you can just see what is happening in the lobby on the first floor.
Entering the hotel, Jiang Tiansheng, the leader of the gang, was naturally invited to the second floor, while Chen Yao, with his white paper fan, was placed near the stage. As for Lu Yongqiang, the leader of the gang, he was placed in the middle.
Camel still has a very high status in the underworld. Many people from Hongxing came today, including Brother Ji, Fatty Li, Xiyan and other gang leaders, but they all sat in the front.
Lu Yongqiang glanced at the hall and happened to see Xiyan's confidant Wang Ying and Scar Brother. There was an empty seat at the table where they were sitting, so Lu Yongqiang walked over with Dong Si.
After Lu Yongqiang sat down, he said, "Sister Ying, Brother Scar, we haven't seen each other for a while. How are you doing recently?"
Wang Ying didn't say anything, but just nodded to Lu Yongqiang as a greeting.
Scar Brother was not so indifferent. He smiled and said, "A Qiang, you came at the right time. I was bored here. Now that you are here, we can chat." As he said that, Scar Brother looked at Wang Ying with some dissatisfaction.
After glancing at Wang Ying, Scar Brother looked at Dong Si beside Lu Yongqiang and winked at him meaningfully.
Speaking of which, Lu Yongqiang and Dong Si have been in a relationship for a year, but many people know about it. However, today is the first time that he brought Dong Si out like this, which can be regarded as giving Dong Si a formal status.
Lu Yongqiang pointed at Dong Si and said, "Dong Si—you should know her, but after today, she has another identity, that is, my Lu Yongqiang's woman, your sister-in-law!
Sisi, say hello to Sister Ying and Scar Brother! " As he spoke, Lu Yongqiang put his arm around Dong Si's slender waist.
Hearing Lu Yongqiang say this, Dong Si's face was full of smiles. She called out shyly, "Sister Ying! Scar Brother!"
Wang Ying glanced at Dong Si, then at Lu Yongqiang, and then thought for a moment. He took out a dagger from his pocket and threw it to Dong Si, saying in a cold voice, "This dagger is made of obsidian. It can be used for both collection and self-defense."
Dong Si caught the dagger and looked at Lu Yongqiang, not knowing whether he should accept the dagger.
It was just a dagger, so Lu Yongqiang didn't hesitate and nodded to Dong Si, asking him to accept it.
After Dong Si took the dagger, he said thank you to Wang Ying.
Seeing Wang Ying giving Dong Si a gift, Scar Brother felt a little embarrassed. He didn't bring anything with him. He said to Dong Si awkwardly, "Sister-in-law, Scar Brother didn't bring anything today. I'll give you this gift next time."
Scar Brother finished speaking, and Lu Yongqiang was about to speak, but he felt a strong murderous intent falling on him. He turned his head and found that the source of the murderous intent was actually the crow, which was staring at him viciously. If that look could kill, Lu Yongqiang would have died eight times already.
Lu Yongqiang grinned at the crow, then made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Seeing Lu Yongqiang being so arrogant, Crow wanted to come over and cause trouble for Lu Yongqiang, but was stopped by someone next to him.
The man who held the crow was none other than Situ Haonan, one of the Five Tigers of East Star. He was considered the leader of the Five Tigers and a formidable figure. However, he was a close confidant of the White-headed Man of East Star. Although capable, he was feared by Camel and spent most of his time abroad, rarely in Hong Kong.
In fact, each of the Five Tigers of East Star is a talent. At least in Lu Yongqiang's opinion, among the twelve leaders of Hongxing, few can compare with these people.
However, the internal strife within the East Star faction was even more intense than that of the Hongxing faction. Camel and White-headed Mang had fought each other to the point of bloodshed, and they were almost splitting the East Star in two. Although they hadn't split up yet, it wasn't much different. Camel could basically not command two people like Situ Haonan and Thunder Tiger Lei Yaoyang.
Being forcibly dragged away by Situ Haonan, Crow said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you pulling me? This is our Dongxing territory. Why the hell does that handsome guy Qiang have the right to be so arrogant?"
Hearing the crow's indignant shouting, Situ Haonan spread his hands and said, "Today is Guan Erye's birthday, and we, Dongxing, are the organizers this year. You want to make a big deal out of this and then destroy our own place, right? If you're not afraid of the big boss coming after you later, then you can go and settle the score with that handsome guy right now. I promise I won't stop you this time."
Crow is arrogant, but he's not stupid. If he really makes trouble today and destroys the place, then he, Crow, will suffer the consequences...
Crow was just complaining just now, but he didn't expect Situ Haonan to directly sabotage him. Crow looked at Situ Haonan with some dissatisfaction.
Seeing the crow's unfriendly look, Situ Haonan was not afraid. He smiled and said, "Aren't you awesome, Crow? Why don't you dare go now?"
Seeing that Situ Haonan was still continuing to finish him off, Crow snorted in anger, then turned around and wanted to leave.
At this time, Situ Haonan grabbed Crow and said, "Actually, if you want to embarrass that handsome guy, you don't have to show up in person. It only takes a while..." Situ Haonan whispered in Crow's ear.
After Situ Haonan finished speaking, Crow was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile on his face: "Situ, I just realized today that you and Smiling Tiger are the same kind of people, your tricks are really fucking dirty!"
There are very few educated people in the society. If you want everyone to follow the old traditions when holding this kind of conference, it is almost impossible.
For example, the auction of Guan Erye's tribute is held while eating, with performances in between. Anyway, the main focus is to make it free and fun.
Apart from the little episode with the crow just now, Lu Yongqiang didn't encounter any other troubles today, and no one came to cause trouble. This is the benefit of reputation. With Lu Yongqiang's current reputation, no one would offend him for no reason. Even if they disliked him, at most they would ignore him. In any case, no one would provoke him for no reason.
The meal lasted almost two hours, and the tributes were auctioned off. The only thing left was the main auction of the long-term auction. After the long-term auction, everyone could leave.
Lu Yongqiang didn't spend a penny today. The tribute items for auction were all fakes. None of them were valuable. Lu Yongqiang didn't want to be a sucker.
It’s just that Lu Yongqiang doesn’t want to be the scapegoat, but some people insist on making him be the scapegoat.
Just as the auction of Changhong was about to begin, a Hongxing underling ran up to Lu Yongqiang and whispered, "Brother Qiang, Brother Yao said Mr. Jiang hopes you can bid for Changhong. He said he hopes you will be prosperous all year long."
To be honest, Jiang Tiansheng is a pretty good boss. In Lu Yongqiang's opinion, although Jiang Tiansheng likes to make big promises, compared to some bosses, he has a decent temper and is relatively fair in doing things. At least he is willing to give his subordinates a chance to stand out.
But there was one thing about Jiang Tiansheng that made Lu Yongqiang particularly unhappy, and that was that Jiang Tiansheng was extremely self-righteous and thought that everyone else was a fool and he was the only smart one.
Just like now, he said lightly that he wanted Lu Yongqiang to be popular for a long time, and he also said that he hoped Lu Yongqiang would be prosperous all year round.
It was obvious that he wanted to use Lu Yongqiang to disgust Luotuo, but by doing this, it was perceived that he was optimistic about Lu Yongqiang and had high hopes for him, making it impossible for Lu Yongqiang not to be popular for a long time.
