Hong Kong Movies: Red Stick Chen Haonan? Turns out he's just a scoundrel

Logically speaking, Chen Haonan is already a celebrity in Causeway Bay, and no matter how long Cheng Yaodong has experience, he is still a gangster. Chen Haonan's words gave Cheng Yaodong enough face.

However, Cheng Yaodong seemed unwilling to give Chen Haonan any face.

As if no one heard Chen Haonan's words, the atmosphere suddenly became cold again.

Big Brother B nudged Cheng Yaodong gently and said, "Adong, are you still angry?"

"No!"

Cheng Yaodong pointed at Big Boss B's wine glass and said.

"Big Brother has already said that he will give me and our group of old brothers an explanation today. Of course I believe him, so why am I still angry? But, Big Brother didn't drink, so how can we, as his younger brothers, dare to raise our glasses!"

Cheng Yaodong’s words made the meaning very clear. If anyone was to toast, it should be Big Boss B who should toast him. Chen Haonan was not worthy.

Big Brother B naturally heard the hidden meaning in Cheng Yaodong's words. In order to prevent the previous embarrassment from continuing, he did not hesitate and stood up and raised his glass.

"Whether you're a new brother or an old one, as long as you're with me, we'll be brothers for life. Brothers, let's toast to Adong and congratulate him on his successful release from prison and his gilded return."

Boss B's words were fair and just, and also solved Chen Haonan's embarrassment.

Everyone stood up, Cheng Yaodong also stood up and raised his glass, saying.

"Brothers, three years ago, I followed Big Brother B and conquered Causeway Bay. Three years later, I'm back. Brothers, we're going to conquer more territory. When the time comes, everyone will live in nice houses, drive nice cars, and fuck beautiful girls! Go!"

"Dry!"

As the alcohol took its toll, the scene gradually became lively.

However, it is not difficult for anyone who is paying attention to understand what Cheng Yaodong said.

Three years ago, we followed Big B to conquer Causeway Bay. Three years later, we wanted to conquer more territories, but we didn’t say we would follow Big B.

The meaning of this is self-evident.

Big Boss B looked unhappy, but he couldn't get angry.

He waved to Chen Haonan to sit next to him, then gently patted Cheng Yaodong's shoulder and spoke earnestly.

"Adong, I know you're not happy about giving Haonan the Red Stick job. You helped me conquer Causeway Bay, and I can't just watch it get taken away. I have to protect it. I've been recruiting soldiers over the past three years, and the Four-Nines in Causeway Bay are strong. But as you can see, most of them are newcomers. There's nothing we can do about it, they all respect Haonan."

"I'm old now, and this Red Stick position can't remain vacant forever. Haonan helped me a lot in the three years you were away, and I think he deserves to be given the position of Red Stick, and the brothers will also be convinced. I did promise you that I would give you the position of Red Stick when you were released from prison, but with so many new brothers under my command, they may not obey you. So... I'm doing this for the stability of the society and for the stability of Causeway Bay."

"Oh? That's because I don't know the big picture?" Cheng Yaodong said with a smile.

After hearing this, Big Brother B quickly waved his hand and said.

"Adong, you spent three years in jail, and you suffered a lot during those three years. Finally, you're about to be released, and then you hear that the Red Stick position that was supposed to be yours has been replaced by Haonan. I understand you're angry, but it would be strange if you weren't. But don't worry, you've returned with a gilded reputation now. As long as you make some contributions to the community, I will definitely recommend you to Mr. Jiang. After all, Causeway Bay is different now, so you should get familiar with it first. Just treat it as a formality, how about it?"

Listening to what Big Brother B said, Cheng Yaodong smiled and shook his head.

Although his words seemed to make sense, they were simply excuses.

There's an old saying in the underworld: There are paper fans and red sticks every year, but if you don't get pricked for three years, you'll be gone for good.

All the younger brothers who join the club start as Blue Lanterns. Unless they have made significant contributions, they need to be recommended by a sponsor and recognized by senior leaders for three years before they can be promoted to the position of Forty-Nine. They must also have certain strength.

Before I joined the guild, I only had a few dozen brothers around me, including the Blue Lanterns.

How is it possible that in just three years, there are suddenly more than a hundred "four-nine" people?

Obviously, times have changed, and some old rules don't need to be so strict.

Moreover, unless there are significant contributions, the ceremony of taking office must have three or four nines simultaneously presenting straw sandals, white paper fans, and red sticks before the ceremony can begin.

It was he who made the significant contribution, but it was Chen Haonan who took the position.

Everything that happened before was done without any rules, but now when it comes to me, I am asked to follow the procedures and the rules?

"Brother Big B, if what you mean by following the procedure is what you told me."

Cheng Yaodong raised his glass and said.

"Then I have nothing to say. After drinking this glass of wine, you and I will still be from the same sect, but I will no longer call you Big Brother."
