Chapter 68: The Ring Match

Chen Yao looked at Chen Jiajun and said, "A Jun, you are now one of the twelve Zha FIT Ren; it is time for you to express your opinion."

Currently, Wanchai is Hung Hing's most lucrative district. Chen Jiajun has already become an idol to countless people in the underworld, and since he also hails from the Causeway Bay Branch, his words carry significant weight; everyone leaned in to listen.

Chen Jiajun shook his head and said in a clear voice, "To choose a Zha FIT Ren for Causeway Bay, one naturally must choose someone who is relatively familiar with Causeway Bay. There is no error in that point."

"However, I believe that the Causeway Bay Branch has a more suitable candidate than Chen Haonan."

"That is Haodazai. Last month, Hung Lok crossed the line, and Haodazai led his men to beat back Hung Lok, even seizing a piece of territory from them."

"He started following Big Brother B at thirteen. Later, when Big Brother B killed someone outside, Haodazai took the rap for him without a word and spent several years in the slammer; he is a man of loyalty."

"After getting out, Haodazai did not receive any substantial benefits and is still a Hung Hing Straw Sandal."

"I feel that he is more suitable than Chen Haonan to be the Zha FIT Ren of Causeway Bay."

At this, even the usually composed Datian Er could not hold back; he stood up directly and cursed angrily, "Chen Jiajun, what are you saying! Haodazai taking that territory—wasn't it with the help of your men!"

"As a member of Hung Hing, when Hung Hing has trouble, it is my duty to send troops to help! Datian Er, do you know what you are saying!" Chen Jiajun raised his head, narrowed his eyes, and scolded.

Baopi chimed in to support Datian Er, saying, "You say Big Brother B didn't give Haodazai any benefits, but didn't he help Haodazai pay back your 1.5 million!"

"Haodazai took the rap for Big Brother B; that is what Big Brother B owed Haodazai!" Chen Jiajun took on two opponents at once!

Shanjie cursed angrily, "Jing Jun, so you are such a petty person!"

"I am petty! I ask you few sick cats: Dalao B was plotting against me—did you few know about it! Hmm!? Do you dare to swear in Zhongyi Hall, in front of all the Zha FIT Ren, and in front of Guan Erye?"

Chen Jiajun took on three opponents at once!

The Causeway Bay sick cats were momentarily speechless.

Fearing that the Causeway Bay sick cats would only make more mistakes the more they spoke, Jiang Tiansheng said, "Enough! Shanjie, this is not a place for you to speak! Get out!"

After the three of them walked out of Zhongyi Hall, Jiang Tiansheng asked, "Which one is Causeway Bay's Haodazai?"

"Jiang Sheng."

Haodazai, who had been sitting in the corner and had not said a word the entire time, raised his hand and stood up.

Chen Haonan looked at Haodazai with surprise. Only now did he truly realize one thing: Chen Jiajun had likely fished Haodazai out, Haodazai had long since surrendered to Chen Jiajun, and back at Longfeng Restaurant, Haodazai asking Big Brother B for money to pay back Chen Jiajun was just an act!

"Damn it!"

"What on earth is this Dalao B doing in Causeway Bay!"

Jiang Tiansheng looked at Haodazai and cursed inwardly; he didn't know how many pits Big Brother B's death had dug for him.

A tiny Causeway Bay Branch had caused so many problems.

This Haodazai—no matter what, Hung Hing owed him a Red Pole rank.

And for such an important matter, Dalao B had actually kept it from him!

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Tiansheng made a decision: "Causeway Bay is truly a land of good feng shui, it's giving me a splitting headache! Anan, Haodazai, both of you are qualified for promotion!"

"How about this: Haodazai has just been released from prison and must be a bit out of touch with the outside world."

"Haodazai, from now on you are a Red Pole of the Causeway Bay Branch; as long as you continue to work hard, I will promote you further! Chen Haonan, the position of boss of Causeway Bay will still be yours."

As soon as Jiang Tiansheng finished speaking, Chen Jiajun said, "Mr. Jiang, didn't you say something last month? We in Hung Hing must cultivate loyal subordinates, cultivate those subordinates who are usually overlooked by everyone, and cultivate those who can sit still and endure loneliness. Haodazai happens to fit these conditions perfectly."

Feilao Li also showed a gloating smile and said, "A Jun, your memory is really good! I heard that sentence clearly too!"

A wave of discussion suddenly erupted in Zhongyi Hall; Jiang Tiansheng could not keep a straight face!

The heartfelt words Jiang Tiansheng used to forcefully promote Chen Haonan during the last Hung Hing meeting were now hitting him squarely in the chest!

This made him lose a lot of face.

Jing Kun almost laughed out loud.

Jiang Tiansheng lit a cigar, looked at Chen Jiajun, and said with a forced smile, "Then A Jun, what is your brilliant opinion?"

"It is very obvious now that many bosses oppose Chen Haonan taking the position, but the position of boss of Causeway Bay cannot remain vacant for too long. Since the candidates are none other than Haodazai and Chen Haonan, why not set up a ring in Causeway Bay?"

"I remember you also said, Mr. Jiang, that to be a Big Brother, one must look at his ability to make money and whether he can lead his brothers to a good life. I strongly agree with this. Setting up this ring is just to see their ability to make money!"

After Chen Jiajun finished speaking, many Zha FIT Ren felt that his words made sense.

Jiang Tiansheng's smile deepened; with his support, would Chen Haonan be worse than Haodazai when it came to making money?

He deliberately looked at Chen Jiajun with approval and said, "A Jun, you kid! You remember every word I say so clearly! That's right, you are absolutely correct. Based on the opinions of all the Zha FIT Ren, starting from this month, Anan!"

Chen Haonan stood up, "Here!"

"Haodazai!"

Haodazai stood up straight, "Yes!"

Jiang Tiansheng pointed at the two of them and said, "The Glorious Nightclub in Causeway Bay will be managed by Anan, and the Royal Nightclub will be managed by Haodazai. In one month, I want to see your results. Show your skills and let the Hung Hing brothers here see them!"

"Understood!"

The moment the two lowered their heads, their gazes crossed in mid-air.

The competition began from this moment!

"Alright, today's Hung Hing meeting ends here. Everyone, dismissed!"

After Jiang Tiansheng finished speaking, he took Chen Yao and left the Hung Hing Headquarters in a hurry.

Dalao B was right about one thing: Chen Jiajun is indeed full of wild ambition.

He has already won over Jing Kun, Shisimei, and Han Bin, and now he wants to promote Haodazai; even Feilao Li is flirting with Chen Jiajun.

The casino in Macau hasn't been settled yet, and Jiang Tiansheng suddenly felt that his position in Hung Hing was in jeopardy.

No, he must nip this in the bud!

Hung Hing can only have the surname Jiang!

Thinking of this, Jiang Tiansheng said to Chen Yao, "A Yao, go and investigate why Jing Kun, Jing Jun, Shisimei, and Han Bin have been getting so close lately. Are they all dealing in white powder together?"

"Mr. Jiang, I know some inside information about this. Jing Jun set up an A-Goods factory in Kwun Tong, and the four of them are partners leasing shops on Tongcai Street and Garden Street in Mong Kok to sell A-Goods," Chen Yao replied immediately.

"Selling A-Goods?"

Jiang Tiansheng looked surprised, followed by a soft laugh, a laugh filled with mockery.

Having lived a life of luxury since childhood and always looking down on others, how could Jiang Tiansheng know the profit margins of selling A-Goods?

"Hehe."

Jiang Tiansheng shook his head and said to Chen Yao, "Have Chen Haonan come over tomorrow. Also, calculate how much money is left in the Hung Hing accounts. Hung Hing has stabilized now, so it's time for us to distribute a bonus to everyone."

Nothing buys people's hearts faster than banknotes and women!

Jiang Tiansheng was not truly a fool.

"A Jun, shouldn't you treat us brothers to a proper celebration tonight?"

Jing Kun walked to Chen Jiajun's side and said with a smile.

"Where would I have the money to treat you all to a meal? I only handed in ten thousand dollars in tribute fees this month! Or, why don't you lend me some money?"

Chen Jiajun shook his head and said "sincerely."

Having paid ten thousand dollars in tribute fees, he naturally had to pretend to be poor.

Jing Kun naturally knew that Chen Jiajun was pretending to be poor; he shook his head and said, "Lending money is out of the question, but I have enough to cover a restaurant for you! Let's go to Fook Lam Moon in Wanchai! Tonight, I'll host a victory banquet for my good brother Jing Jun. Everyone come! We won't go home until we're drunk!"

"Hooray!"

"A Jun, A Kun, let's go to Tian Shang Ren Jian after we've finished drinking!"

"Let's go, let's go!"

A group of Zha FIT Ren and Red Poles walked out of the Hung Hing Zhongyi Hall, laughing and talking.

One has to admit that in all of Hung Hing, Jing Kun is definitely the best at handling people.
