Chapter 6: Taking the Position of Straw Sandal

Chen Jiajun did not put on airs in front of Dalao B: "Da B Ge, these are my brothers Dumu and my underling Lao E!"

Lao E was the name Chen Jiajun gave to the young demon slave.

Facing Dalao B, Dumu and Lao E kept cold, expressionless faces, not even offering a greeting.

As the Zha FIT Ren for Hongxing in Causeway Bay, Dalao B could be considered experienced and knowledgeable.

In the underworld, what kind of fierce men had he not seen?

He had dealt with such underworld heavyweights as Huxu Yong of the Number Gang, Futou Jun of the Sun Yee On, Da D of the Wo Shing Shing, Wuya of the Eastern Star, and the Hongxing God of War Taizi.

But he swore that the man before him was the one with the most murderous aura he had ever seen!

Even that Lao E, whom Chen Jiajun called an underling, had a murderous aura countless times stronger than those so-called underworld heavyweights!

Hearing Chen Haonan and the others talk about it yesterday, Dalao B hadn't felt much.

Now, he truly understood what was meant by oppressive force, and what a real fierce man was!

Especially the height of these two,

Good heavens!

One was two meters twenty, the other one meter ninety; especially that Dumu, whose fist was as large as a bowl—he was truly afraid that if he, at one meter sixty-eight, were hit by one punch, his head would be knocked off on the spot.

Looking again at their appearance and crude clothing, Dalao B's brain spun rapidly; could they have come from the North?

Thinking of this, Dalao B did not care in the slightest about their attitude, directly ignoring it as he turned to look around and said:

"Good, very good!"

"Everyone come in! I have some things to discuss."

Leading the way into the boxing gym, Dalao B's mind was also spinning rapidly.

Chen Jiajun waved his hand and naturally followed Dalao B, stepping into the boxing gym second, with Dumu and Lao E always trailing him by half a step.

Shanjie was rather reckless and wanted to show off his status in Causeway Bay, but he was forcefully squeezed to the back by the sturdy and hulking Dumu.

If not for the principle of not making a move without money, Dumu would have wanted to slap him; that little Shanjie's head would likely have spun several times over.

As for Chen Haonan, he was the last to enter, his expression grave.

These two subordinates of Chen Jiajun were both sturdy, hulking, and overbearing tough guys.

On what basis did Chen Jiajun have them?

Could it be just because he was better-looking than himself?

Entering the boxing gym, Dalao B pointed to the seats, his gaze shifting to Dumu and Lao E:

"Everyone sit wherever you like. Dumu, Lao E, help yourselves to the cigarettes and drinks on the table.

Treat this place like your own home; there aren't many rules here, so don't be constrained."

His words clearly showed he had begun to cherish their talent; the Causeway Bay Branch was his, Dalao B's, one-man show.

In his view, Dumu and Lao E were just people who had snuck over and had never experienced the flashy world of Hong Kong; as long as he, Dalao B, exerted a little personal charm, he could win over this group of fierce men.

When that time came, wouldn't Lanzai Jun be back to how he was before?

He, Dalao B, had both fame and money; as long as Dumu and Lao E were slightly sharp-witted, they would know whose "money" prospects were greater.

However, Dumu and Lao E remained motionless, both looking toward Chen Jiajun.

Although the loyalty of summoned tough guys was not high, it was not non-existent; at the very least, they listened entirely to Chen Jiajun and not to outsiders.

As for whether Chen Jiajun wanted Dumu to make a move...

Two words: pay more!

Chen Jiajun waved his hand and said, "Sit."

As Chen Jiajun's voice fell, Dumu and Lao E finally sat down on the chairs in unison.

Seeing this scene, Dalao B realized the situation was not right and felt slightly wary, but he was not discouraged.

He deliberately opened the safe in front of everyone, the Hong Kong Dollar bills inside dazzlingly numerous.

Taking a stack from the pile of Hong Kong Dollars, Dalao B's peripheral vision remained on Dumu and Lao E, and sure enough, he saw the greedy look in their eyes.

Heh heh, eyes lighting up at the sight of money, eh?

That made things easy!

Handing the stack of Hong Kong Dollars to Dumu, Dalao B laughed loudly:

"Regarding the matter with Babi yesterday, Dumu, you did very well. Take this 100,000 and split it with Lao E!"

"Your reputation in the underworld is very loud now! Even those little punks in Ciyunshan want to bow to you as their Big Brother."

"Our Hongxing Dragon Head, Mr. Jiang, has also heard about your deeds and is very satisfied! He said you polished the company's signboard!"

"Work hard in the future; Mr. Jiang and I will absolutely not treat you poorly!"

"As long as you are loyal to the company, there will be plenty of money and women in the future!"

However, Dumu and Lao E did not reach out to take the Hong Kong Dollars, instead looking at Chen Jiajun.

They had no use for these scraps of paper.

What they needed was Universe Coin.

Seeing this, Chen Jiajun raised an eyebrow—good heavens!

This was openly poaching his own people right in front of his face!

But Chen Jiajun knew very well that he possessed a system and could exchange Hong Kong Dollars for Universe Coin; Dumu wanted Universe Coin, and to them, Hong Kong Dollars were too stiff even to wipe their backsides with.

With a smile on his face, he pursed his lips and said lazily, "The company is rewarding you with money, so take it!"

Upon hearing this, Dumu grabbed the Hong Kong Dollars, then turned and handed them to Chen Jiajun without saying a word.

"Heh heh, I'll keep them for you for now."

Chen Jiajun took the 100,000 Hong Kong Dollars and stuffed them into his pocket; he appeared calm and collected on the surface, but he was actually sweating inside.

Others might not know, but how could he not?

The look Dumu just gave clearly meant he wanted him to help exchange Hong Kong Dollars for Universe Coins!

Dalao B watched this scene, narrowed his eyes, and the wariness in his heart was fully revealed.

Not only had Lanzai Jun quietly taken in these two lackeys, but his ability to win people over was also this good!

A trace of anger rose in Dalao B's heart, but he did not show it on the surface: "Not bad, our Hung Hing should be like this; one must not forget their roots! A Jun, you taught them well!"

Chen Jiajun smiled very shyly: "B Ge, following you until now, I have always taken your teachings to heart and never dared to forget them."

"By the way, Da B Ge."

"You see, I have quite a few lackeys; I wonder if B Ge has any extra venues for us to look after? Let the lackeys find something to do?"

Chen Jiajun did not have many lackeys; until now, he only had two, but he had to exaggerate a bit to use as an excuse.

He knew very well that the territory and venues he needed to ask from Dalao B had to be obtained early; otherwise, driving around everywhere with Dumu and the other like habitual fugitives every day was not a long-term solution.

With a venue, there would be a base of operations.

Previously, the predecessor of this body had mentioned the matter of territory to Dalao B, but Dalao B always brushed him off with the excuse that his foundation was not yet stable.

Now, Dalao B should have nothing left to say, right?

As soon as his words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly turned heavy.

Chen Haonan, Shanjie, and the others all looked toward Dalao B.

Like the five of them, they all had a few venues to look after, allowing them to collect kickbacks from them; otherwise, how would Chen Haonan afford to buy an MR2 sports car?

At this moment, the mood of the Causeway Bay Five Tigers was very complicated.

On one hand, they hoped Chen Jiajun would not grow too fast; on the other hand, the five of them were somewhat loyal, and they were also very clear that the company had owed Lanzai Jun quite a lot over these past few years.
