Chapter 125: Must Start Work at the Construction Site First

Walking out of the HSBC main entrance, Wu Guangzheng opened the door of the Rolls-Royce: "Dad, the Hong Kong triads are holding a Zhazhi Ceremony at the Fanling Sansheng Palace, and they will be paying their respects to the Uncles and elders of the New Territories. I will call Lu Huangfa immediately."

Bao Chuanwang's shipping business had previously had quite a few triads working under him to make money, and his son-in-law Wu Guangzheng knew how the Hong Kong triads operated.

"Call him immediately and tell him to call that kid named Chen Jiajun."

Bao Jueshi gave his instructions, then said to the driver: "Fanling, Sansheng Palace."

The call connected quickly, and Wu Guangzheng said politely: "Fa Shu, this is Wu Guangzheng."

"Oh! It's Mr. Wu, hello, hello!" Upon hearing the other party identify himself, Lu Huangfa immediately recognized his identity.

Wu Guangzheng said slowly and softly: "Fa Shu, I wonder if you know the Hongxing Headman, Chen Jiajun."

"I know him, I know him, I wonder..." Lu Huangfa felt nervous all of a sudden.

Wu Guangzheng laughed: "It's like this, I heard he is holding a Zhazhi Ceremony at the Fanling Sansheng Palace today, and my father and I would like to go over and take a look, and incidentally get to know Chen Jiajun. I wonder if you could put in a word?"

"What?"

Lu Huangfa was scared witless. The famous richest Chinese man, Bao Jueshi, and his son-in-law want to attend Chen Jiajun's Zhazhi Ceremony?

Did he hear that right?

Wu Guangzheng coughed and said: "You heard right, just help me pass the word first."

"Understood, Mr. Wu!"

Hanging up the phone, Lu Huangfa felt the mobile phone in his hand was somewhat scalding.

He could tell there was no anger in Wu Guangzheng's voice; on the contrary, he was very eager to get to know Chen Jiajun.

As expected, if a person is handsome, they just have good luck!

Damn it!

He was now afraid that the country folk of the New Territories and those triad punks would offend Bao Jueshi!

Lu Huangfa immediately had the driver start the car, then called Lu Hantao: "Tao Ge, Bao Jueshi and the Bao Family's son-in-law said they are going to the Fanling Sansheng Palace now to attend Chen Jiajun's Shouzhi Ceremony, you and I..."

"I am already rushing over there. Jardine Matheson Taipan Niubijian, Hongkong Land Taipan Baofuda, and HSBC Taipan Shen Bi are also heading to the Fanling Sansheng Palace. We will meet in a while."

In the Mercedes-Benz, Lu Hantao hung up the phone, gripping his cane.

"Dad, why do so many big shots want to get to know him?"

Lu Yongyu's face was flushed red. She didn't know if it was because she was excited about so many big shots coming, or something else, but in any case, her whole heart felt sweet.

Lu Hantao already had a judgment in his heart, but he didn't say anything, just looking out the window.

A moment later, he looked at his daughter: "Yongyu, you aren't young anymore."

Lu Yongyu's face turned pale immediately: "Dad, I'm twenty, I'm still young."

Lu Hantao was frustrated by her lack of ambition: "Young my foot. Do you really want all the good men in the world to be picked clean by others?"

Lu Yongyu was even more stubborn. She acted like a spoiled child: "Dad, I have a crush on someone, but he doesn't seem to like me."

"Damn it! Who is it that doesn't think highly of Lu Hantao's daughter? I'll hang him from a tree and beat him." Lu Hantao slammed his cane.

"He has a girlfriend, and he has two." Lu Yongyu told the truth.

Coughing, Lu Hantao spoke in a gentle, soft voice. He knew his daughter had high standards and ordinary people couldn't catch her eye. He said kindly: "Dad has a young talent he thinks highly of right now. His background isn't very good, but Dad hopes you will interact with him..."

Cough, cough, I'll just be honest. I think this kid Chen Jiajun is quite good. Although he is a gangster, you shouldn't look down on him; he is, after all, the Hongxing Dragon Head."

"Dad... the one I like is him."

Lu Yongyu's complexion turned rosy.

Lu Hantao was so angry his beard turned white: "What! You just said he has two girlfriends, and you still like him! A disgrace to the family!"

At the foot of the Fanling mountain, after receiving a phone call, Huang Zhicheng immediately stood straight and replied: "YES, SIR!"

Then he grabbed his walkie-talkie and roared: "Attention all teams, search the entire vicinity immediately. Several big shots will be arriving in a while."

Putting down the walkie-talkie, he shouted at the Police Constables beside him: "What are you standing there for? Search all the nearby grass immediately! From now on, no one is allowed to enter the mountain!"

"Cheng Ge, what big shots are coming?"

"If I tell you to go, then go! Don't talk nonsense!"

If he hadn't heard the names of those big shots with his own ears, Huang Zhicheng would have even thought he was hallucinating.

In the backyard of Sansheng Palace, Lu Yeqiang came over and said loudly: "Fellow underworld Big Brothers, in a while, HSBC Taipan Shen Bi, Jardine Matheson Taipan Niubijian, Global shipping's Bao Jueshi, and several Uncles and elders of the New Territories will be coming to the scene to attend Mr. Chen's Shouzhi Ceremony. Please mind your manners, fellow underworld Big Brothers."

After his voice fell, the scene was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone looked at each other.

Although they were big shots in Hong Kong, they were at best only in the small circle of the underworld. Compared to these truly big shots, they were nothing.

If these big shots said a single word, all of them would have to jump into the sea.

This was no joke.

In the sixties, a leader of a He-style triad annoyed a wealthy Chaozhou businessman.

That businessman put the word out that he wanted his life.

That He-style leader was also very famous in the underworld, but to avoid harming his family and his triad, he ate a good meal that day, settled his affairs, and went straight to jump into the sea.

Could it be... could it be that the Hongxing Dragon Head is already on equal footing with these big shots?

Even the Queen's birthday wouldn't be like this, right?

Chen Jiajun stood up and cupped his hands to everyone: "Sorry, I hope all you underworld Big Brothers and brothers will be understanding."

"It's nothing!"

"Mr. Chen..."

A group of triad Dragon Heads all wore smiling faces.

In the open space in front of Sansheng Palace, a row of stalls had been set up; Hung Hing had arranged for over thirty senior members and key figures of the society to register the street thugs and lone wanderers of the underworld who wanted to join Hung Hing.

Xing Shu's son, Wili, who studied law, was wearing a suit and glasses, his ten fingers tapping away continuously on a typewriter.

"Name."

"Chen Zilong."

"Education?"

"I'm here to join Hung Hing," Chen Zilong reminded him.

Wili was somewhat impatient; without even lifting his head, he repeated, "Education?"

"Zhangzhushan Middle School."

"Go register at another branch," Wili said directly.

Chen Zilong hurriedly explained, "No, I'm very good at fighting; I want to join under Brother Jun's name."

"Ada only accepts university graduates; you're just a middle school student, and you think you're qualified? Next!" Wili replied coldly and waved his hand.

Upon hearing this, Chen Zilong felt his heart go cold; he had never imagined that a society boss would only accept university students as his protégés.

It seems Hung Hing really has substance!

I'll endure it for now!

He asked, "Then may I ask which one is the branch for Dumu, Ege, and the others?"

Wili shouted, "There's someone here who wants to join the branch for Dumu, Lao E, and the others; next!"

"Excuse me, could you please move aside!"

A handsome man with a crew cut, a dashing appearance, and a good physique, dressed in a sharp suit, said in a gentle tone.

"Name?"

"Lin Yutian."

"Education."

"Graduated from the University of Melbourne," the handsome man introduced himself.

Wili couldn't help but look up: "A returnee?"

"Yes, this is my bachelor's degree certificate; I studied business administration."

"Oh? Why do you want to join Hung Hing?"

"I've been learning Thai Boxing at a gym since I was a child, and I've always wanted to join a society to work.

My mother and father are both from the underworld, and I have a record for stabbing someone, so some companies wouldn't hire me; I hope to work under Mr. Chen."

"Isn't it just stabbing someone? That's no big deal. You studied abroad for so long, can you speak English?"

"I can."

"Fine, you're the one. I'll take you to see Ada this afternoon. Age?"

"24."

"Can you tell me the full names of your mother and father?"

"My father is with Shaloutai's..."

Chen Zilong was taken to Lao E's team.

"Brother E, I'm Zilong from Ciyunshan." In front of Lao E, Chen Zilong regained a bit of confidence and introduced himself.

Lao E's tone was flat: "Never heard of you."

"I'm very good at fighting; I'll do whatever the boss tells me to do," Chen Zilong said with an urgent expression.

"Even if you're good at fighting, are you as good as me?" Lao E showed a look of disdain: "You look like someone who has come out to do some work."

"Yes, yes!" Chen Zilong nodded and hurriedly agreed.

Lao E said, "How about this: it's not impossible to join the Wanchai or Central Branch, but you have to go work at the Heng Lung Group construction site first."

"Ah?"

Chen Zilong's mouth hung open.

"Still being picky? These branches aren't short of fighters at all; not just the Wanchai Hall, but the Central Branch, Yuen Long, and Macau aren't short of them either. Do you think they're missing you?" Lao E smoked his cigarette, his tone arrogant: "Are you doing it or not? If not, go to another branch."

"I'll do it, I'll do it! I'm very capable!"

Chen Zilong's heart had completely cooled, but in order to join Hung Hing, he had no choice but to go work at the construction site first.

Perhaps he could dig up some behind-the-scenes dealings between Heng Lung Group and Hung Hing, which would also be a great achievement.
