Chapter 93: High! Truly High Indeed!

"What's important isn't the money, but what you want to do after you become the Dragon Head?"

Jing Kun did not agree immediately; instead, he flicked his cigarette butt into the ashtray and took out a third cigarette.

Clearly, at this very moment, Jing Kun was also struggling in his own mind.

Chen Jiajun puffed on his Cigar, stood tall, and said in a deep voice:

"You can all see it too; I can shoulder the burden, and I can make money."

"After I take the top spot, I will lead the brothers of Hung Hing to make money together—clean money—so that the Hung Hing boys no longer have to live their lives in constant fear."

After listening, Jing Kun nodded and said, "I have a handle on Feilao Li and Chen Dayu's votes. As for Ji Ge, he supports whoever has the most votes; I'll give him a sum of money. Xing Shu is a neutral party, and you shouldn't even think about Taizi's vote. It seems there won't be much of a problem with this matter."

"Fine, I, Jing Kun, admit I'm not as good as you; I support you to be the Dragon Head. Remember, lead everyone to make big money in the future."

Having said that, Jing Kun raised his wine glass.

Fourth Sister, Han Bin, Dinosaur, and Haodazai all raised their wine glasses one after another and stood up.

Chen Jiajun was the last to stand up; he already had one hundred percent certainty in his heart: "Don't worry, even if we don't succeed, at worst I'll take everyone and leave Hung Hing to start our own organization! As long as we are of one mind, what can't we accomplish?"

……

Two days later, the Hung Hing assembly.

Jiang Tiansheng arrived exceptionally early, and subsequently, Chen Haonan, Shanjie, and the other sick cats of Causeway Bay also appeared in Zhongyi Hall.

Dizhenzai was not there, so the task of collecting tribute fees naturally fell to Chen Yao.

When Chen Jiajun arrived at the Hung Hing Zhongyi Hall, he saw Chen Yao sitting on the first floor.

"Brother Yao, this is this month's tribute fee."

Chen Jiajun said as he handed the ledger to Chen Yao, while Dumu and Lao E behind him placed two Money Boxes on the table.

Once opened, inside were stacks upon stacks of thousand-dollar bills.

Chen Yao looked at Chen Jiajun with a complex expression: "So much this month?"

"Last month was just stabilizing, so it was only ten thousand. This month there were no issues, so it's a full 15 million."

This scene terrified the Zha FIT Ren who were waiting to pay their tribute fees behind him.

Damn it!

Can you not be so arrogant!

Why didn't you skim a bit more this month?

Where does this leave us, the Zha FIT Ren of Hung Hing, in terms of face!

The reason he paid so much, Chen Jiajun understood very clearly: today was the day Jiang Tiansheng would leave Hung Hing!

In short, this money would all fall into his own pockets from now on.

After Chen Jiajun finished his business, he said to Haodazai beside him, "Haoda, show Brother Yao your results."

Haodazai handed over the box and the accounts and said: "Brother Yao, this is the money I earned this month."

"3.05 million!?"

This left Chen Yao unable to understand; one had to know that some Hung Hing Zha FIT Ren didn't even earn this much in a month.

He immediately flipped open the accounts; every single transaction was recorded clearly.

Chen Jiajun couldn't be bothered with him and turned to lead Dumu and the others upstairs.

The Dragon Head Jiang Tiansheng sat in the main seat, smoking continuously, his face gloomy.

Yesterday, Jiang Tiansheng had Chen Yao try to contact Dizhenzai again.

A full ten calls!

All of them were out of service area!

The answer was self-evident: either Dizhenzai had been taken out by Chen Jiajun, or Dizhenzai had been controlled by Chen Jiajun!

You really are something, Chen Jiajun!

You don't put me, Jiang Tiansheng, in your eyes at all!

Seeing the Dragon Head arrive so early with a gloomy face, the Zha FIT Ren of Hung Hing were confused; after all, Chen Jiajun had handled Fei Gou and even brought back two Gambling Halls for Hung Hing—this was a joyous occasion.

In any case, everyone stopped even telling dirty jokes, lest they bring bad luck.

At this moment, accompanied by heavy footsteps, Chen Jiajun appeared in the Hung Hing Zhongyi Hall with Dumu and Lao E.

Seeing his arrival, there was no commotion in Zhongyi Hall; after all, several Zha FIT Ren had already secretly received his money, and now they were harboring ulterior motives.

A few people exchanged glances, remaining calm and composed.

This left some of the Red Poles of Hung Hing, as well as the Zha FIT Ren who were still in the dark, unable to make sense of it.

Before the assembly, Jiang Tiansheng had informed Chen Yao about Jing Kun's restless behavior yesterday.

Chen Yao's reply was to tell him not to worry.

Jiang Tiansheng had always trusted Chen Yao.

At this time, Chen Yao finished collecting the tribute fees and handed the accounts to Jiang Tiansheng, who looked at Chen Jiajun with slight surprise.

Sometimes he truly couldn't understand Chen Jiajun; last month he only paid 10,000 dollars in tribute fees, yet this month he actually paid a full 15 million!

Damn it!

How are you making me lose my temper like this?

Damn it!

Jiang Tiansheng felt both love and hate for Chen Jiajun, and even the matter of Dizhenzai was cast to the back of his mind.

"Mr. Jiang, do I have pockmarks on my face?"

Chen Jiajun asked meaningfully.

Jiang Tiansheng shook his head and said with a smile: "Alright, brothers, the Hung Hing assembly has begun."

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the Dragon Head to speak.

Jiang Tiansheng spoke up: "Last month, Jing Jun led his troops to Macau, took care of Fei Gou, planted our flag in Macau, and once again sounded the horn for Hung Hing. Not only that, this month Jing Jun handed in 15 million in tribute! Let us applaud together."

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

A round of applause erupted in Zhongyi Hall, and everyone looked toward Chen Jiajun.

The gazes of many Red Poles and Hung Hing Big Dippers looking at him were filled with admiration.

15 million in tribute!

No one had ever handed in so much before!

"Alright, quiet!"

Jiang Tiansheng coughed once, the people inside Zhongyi Hall sat down one after another, and then he said in a deep voice: "Last month, we discussed the issue of who would be the Branch Leader of Causeway Bay. A month has passed, Anan, Haodazai, it is time for you to submit your results."

"Mr. Jiang, these are the accounts submitted by Haodazai and Anan. I have checked the money, and there are no problems at all." Chen Yao placed two ledgers in front of Jiang Tiansheng with a complex expression.

"Last month, the Causeway Bay Red Pole, Glorious Nightclub, submitted accounts totaling 800,000!"

As Chen Yao's voice fell, Chen Haonan puffed out his chest, his face revealing a look of pride.

It was just that, with that skinny appearance, it was hard to tell how much confidence he really had.

It was rumored that Jiang Tiansheng had specifically arranged for some Big Water Pipes to go and patronize his business every day.

I am afraid that at least half of this 800,000 is a fake account.

But since Jiang Tiansheng insisted on backing him, there was nothing anyone could do.

After Chen Yao finished speaking, Jiang Tiansheng looked at Haodazai and asked in a deep voice: "Haodazai, I ask you, why is your account 3.05 million for last month? What is going on?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Hung Hing seemed to explode.

They had originally thought Chen Haonan's 800,000 was fake enough, but they did not expect something even faker to follow.

Everyone looked at Chen Jiajun with a mix of amusement and frustration; they were afraid it was all Chen Jiajun behind the scenes using his own funds to support Haodazai.

But even if you are faking it, there has to be a limit, right?

The sound of whispering and chattering was constant, and from time to time, they looked at Chen Jiajun and Haodazai.

Chen Haonan, Shanjie, and the others had expressions of schadenfreude.

Haodazai stood up steadily and said unhurriedly: "Mr. Jiang, of this 3.05 million, 500,000 is from the Royal Nightclub's accounts, and the other 2.55 million is the income from five streets including Paterson Street, Paterson Street, Great Hong, and Kingston Street, of which 1.08 million is collected property management fees."

Jiang Tiansheng narrowed his eyes and asked in a questioning tone: "Property management fees?"

Jiang Tiansheng naturally did not know what property management fees were.

If he had known, he would have promoted this method to the entire Hung Hing long ago.

"That is correct."

Haodazai explained to Jiang Tiansheng in detail exactly how the income was generated.

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Hung Hing Headquarters exploded even more; they finally understood now—wasn't this property management fee just another way of saying the protection money they usually collected?

Sometimes when underlings went to collect protection money, they would also use the excuse of collecting cleaning fees.

It was just that, after everyone collected that fee, they really never thought about actually cleaning up for people; after all, for a gangster out on the streets, it was about face!

But after this person collected it, he actually sent people to clean up and had people maintain order on those few streets.

Shisimei and the others secretly gave Chen Jiajun a thumbs up.

And Jiang Tiansheng had already realized that this was likely all an idea provided by Chen Jiajun.

High!

It really is high!

That loser Dalao B, he still treated people like idiots!

If he had built a good relationship with Chen Jiajun earlier, I am afraid Dalao B would have been making money hand over fist long ago!
