Chapter 25: The Struggle for the Red Pole

Chen Jiajun smiled and said, "B Ge! What are you nervous about? This person is Dapu Hei!"

"After I found out the truth, I arranged for the brothers to take action at two o'clock last night."

As he spoke, Chen Jiajun flicked several photos onto the table.

These were the photos taken shortly after Heishui Qiang and Dapu Hei had died.

"Before Dapu Hei died, he even said one thing to me. B Ge! Can you guess what he said?"

Dalao B had just let out a sigh of relief when his heart tightened again, as if a hand had gripped his heart fiercely.

"Dapu Hei knelt on the ground and begged me to spare him, hahaha!"

"That is how it happened!"

"Sorry, B Ge, for making you worry for so long."

"And sorry to Shisan Mei and Bin Ge for making you worry too," Chen Jiajun said with a beaming smile.

Expose B Ge?

He wouldn't do that. Without draining his value dry, how could Chen Jiajun bear to let him die right now?

His time had not yet come.

In the future, he would still be implicated in one major event after another that would affect the landscape of Hung Hing!

He could not die!

How else would Jing Kun wipe out his entire family?

If Hung Hing were not in chaos, how could he, Chen Jiajun, reap enough benefits?

Only with Dalao B alive would it serve Chen Jiajun's core interests.

In the Zhongyi Hall of the Hung Hing Headquarters, a round of applause suddenly erupted. Jiang Tiansheng, the Hung Hing Dragon Head, led the applause, followed by the various Zha FIT Ren and Red Poles.

Within a single day, he had eliminated Dapu Hei of Wo Ling Sheng, seized Wo Ling Sheng's territory, wiped out the entire family of Heishui Qiang in the Walled City, and recovered five million in debt for the company. At this moment, besides applauding, what else could everyone say?

"Little punk!" Shisan Mei cursed while applauding.

Then, Dalao B also reacted, and the expressions of Chen Haonan and the others were extremely ugly.

Chen Haonan had never expected that he would be trampled fiercely underfoot by Chen Jiajun before he had even enjoyed his moment of glory for a full minute.

The applause gradually died down, and a hoarse voice rang out in the Zhongyi Hall. Jing Kun said lazily, "A B, why are you so nervous? Sweating so much?"

At this moment, Dalao B looked as if he had been fished out of water.

"Do I?" Dalao B hurriedly wiped his sweat, let out a long sigh of relief, and casually made up an excuse to defend himself.

Chen Yao pointed casually at the pile of Hong Kong Dollars: "Jiang Sheng, the five million is correct."

A total of twenty million had been extorted from Heishui Qiang's side, and Chen Jiajun had pocketed fifteen million for himself.

Jiang Tiansheng looked at Chen Jiajun with a smile and said, "A Jun, how long have you been in Hung Hing?"

"I joined Hung Hing at eighteen, pledged allegiance to B Ge, and was just promoted to Straw Sandal last month," Chen Jiajun replied.

A rustling sound broke out in the Zhongyi Hall. Jiang Tiansheng nodded and said, "Well done, sit."

After Chen Jiajun sat down, Jiang Tiansheng looked around and said, "Not bad, the Causeway Bay Branch is thriving, and I am very happy."

"Everyone, the problem now is this: one is Anan, the other is A Jun. As for which of the two gets promoted, let's keep it simple—let's vote."

"A Yao, you are responsible for keeping count. Everyone, speak your mind."

Ji Ge raised his finger and pointed at Chen Jiajun: "Mr. Jiang, if you ask me, who else could take the Red Pole position besides A Jun? A Jun's reputation has already reached us in the Western District; even the students there want to follow Brother Jun!"

The strength of Ji Ge, the Zha FIT Ren of the Western District, was definitely the weakest among the twelve Hall Masters of Hung Hing, but his talent for picking sides was absolutely maxed out!

Simply put, he was a fence-sitter; whichever side was stronger, he would lean toward it.

"I agree! By comparison, some people have been resting on their laurels for too long. If you don't conquer territory or accomplish major things for the society, who will be convinced by you? Anan, if I give the position to you, will the underlings respect you?"

Feilao Li looked at Chen Haonan with profound meaning and revealed a contemptuous smile.

Shanjie clenched his fists.

Chen Haonan held him down firmly from the side, looking at Feilao Li without saying a word.

Xing Shu cleared his throat and said, "Brothers, a Red Pole must first be able to fight, and second, be able to use their brain to bring benefits to the society."

"A Jun's handling of yesterday's matter was truly brilliant; he has both courage and strategy."

"He also has such a large group of brothers, and his foundation is solid. It is time for him to make some real contributions to Hung Hing. As for Anan... you need to keep working hard; there are plenty of opportunities in the underworld."

He was considered the most senior Zha FIT Ren in Hung Hing, and his words carried great weight.

Once these words were spoken, it was practically a done deal.

Following that, the Zha FIT Ren from other branches also expressed their opinions one after another.

Whether they knew Chen Jiajun or not, they were all willing to do a favor.

It was Jing Kun's turn to speak. Jing Kun fiddled with his lighter and said sinisterly, "Asking for my opinion? I think it has to be Chen Jiajun. If anyone else sat in this position, I, Jing Kun, wouldn't be convinced. Congratulations, Lanzai Jun!"

Although his tone carried a smile, his eyes were venomous.

Because!

Babi's death had caused him to lose a full 20 million!

Chen Jiajun also noticed Jing Kun's venomous gaze. He did not speak, only looking at the other party with a smile.

The White Paper Fan Chen Yao finally looked at Dalao B and said, "A B, as their Big Brother, do you have any opinions on the two of them?"

Whether Dalao B had been scared out of his wits or was truly muddled, he actually said: "A Jun did handle things well, and I feel very happy too, but always relying on subordinates is not the way."

The implication was that they all rose to power by relying on their brothers, so what was there to be proud of?

Once a person has a preconceived notion, it is very difficult to change.

In Dalao B's eyes, Chen Jiajun was still that same Lanzai Jun, just lucky enough to have recruited a group of loyal subordinates from somewhere.

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room was in an uproar.

Out on the streets, which Big Brother didn't rely on their brothers' hard work to reach the position they held today?

Every single person present, including Chen Haonan, whom he doted on the most.

Even you, Dalao B, if you didn't have this group of people like Chen Jiajun and Chen Haonan, would anyone think highly of you?

Even you, Jiang Tiansheng, if you didn't have the tens of thousands of brothers throughout the Hung Hing, at best you would just be an ordinary businessman.

It could be said that this one sentence from Dalao B offended the vast majority of people present.

Jing Kun let out bursts of laughter: "Since he has such a group of brothers who can take out Heishui Qiang and Dapu Hei, seize territory, and help the company collect debts, can you do that?"

Chen Jiajun looked at Jing Kun with slight surprise, not knowing if Jing Kun was being sincere now or just acting against Dalao B.

"This..."

At this moment, Dalao B finally came to his senses, and seeing the strange looks from the Zha FIT Ren and Red Poles around him, he felt a wave of insecurity once again.

But he could only bite the bullet and continue, pretending to be righteous: "Mr. Jiang, brothers present, whether it is Anan or A Jun who rises to power, I am happy for them."

Dalao B, who had seriously told Chen Jiajun just two days ago that he would not block his rise to power, was now showing his most authentic reaction.

"Da B, is it necessary to be so hypocritical? Just be straightforward!" Li Pangzi exposed his hypocritical mask on the spot.

Dalao B kept a straight face and said seriously: "Li Pangzi, things are not like they were in the past!

How should a Big Brother act? Does being a Big Brother just mean taking brothers out to cause trouble and seize territory? Letting the company clean up their messes? I cannot deny that without my brothers, there would be no Dalao B today!"

"But I have sat in this position for so long, and I only know one thing: being a Big Brother means leading your brothers to a good life, and it depends on the ability to make money!"

Dalao B patted his chest and spoke with conviction, yet completely forgot how he had treated his own subordinates.

It is no exaggeration to say that the original Chen Jiajun definitely did not have more than one thousand dollars on him before.
