He shouted at the man in the Mazda: \"You damn punk, what are you honking for! Are you looking to die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're the punk...\" This man with the center-parted, greasy hair was named Bai Chi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Image)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stuck his head out of the car window, preparing to yell at Gao Zu, \"Blocking the road, you whole family of losers,\" but the moment his head poked out, he was grabbed by the collar and given a sound beating by several fierce-looking, dragon-and-tiger-tattooed triad underlings behind Gao Zu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You loser!

If anything happens, call my number... my number is...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Zu smiled gently, his voice soft, and left a number for the grandma... well, it was his underling's number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Underling: No, Boss, you...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grandma was very grateful, holding Gao Zu's hand: \"Thank you so much. In this day and age, there are very few kind-hearted people left.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding... You have received the grandma's gratitude. You have completed a charitable act and received 500 HKD, which will be deposited into your bank account legally!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding... You have accumulated 100 charitable acts of helping the elderly. You have gained 1% support from the elderly in Causeway Bay!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Zu grinned, looking handsome and sunny: \"Grandma, no need to thank me. Kindness as the foundation, a heart full of great love—that is my life's motto!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grandma thanked and praised him again, wishing she could introduce her 0.1-ton granddaughter to Gao Zu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seeing the grandma off, Gao Zu walked over to Bai Chi in the Mazda. His original sunny and handsome demeanor suddenly turned cold and stern as he glared at Bai Chi:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you were the one honking just now? Do you know you almost scared the grandma... What if the old lady had a heart attack because of you?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Chi, whose pomaded hair was being grabbed by the triad underlings and whose eyes were already bruised, cried to Gao Zu: \"I'm sorry, Boss, I didn't recognize your greatness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Zu waved his hand: \"Don't talk so much nonsense. Take out 1,000 HKD.

Are you giving the money or not? Don't you go asking around—who am I, Gao Zu? People call me the Charitable Heavenly Venerate. I love taking people to do charity. You did a bad thing today, so you have to do some charity to make up for your mistake!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Chi was in tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of damn lunatic is this? A triad member doing charity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And \"Charitable Heavenly Venerate\" at that!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is there such a fierce Charitable Heavenly Venerate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And forcing me to do charity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'm crying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll give it, I'll give it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Chi, with a mournful face, took out 1,000 HKD and handed it to Gao Zu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's more like it. Get lost!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Chi, with a bruised face, drove away from the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Zu took out 500 HKD and handed it to his underlings: \"Doing good deeds naturally brings rewards. Take this money and split it, 100 per person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Brother Zu!\" *5\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The triad members were overjoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Brother Zu means eating big fish and meat every day!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the underlings of Crow from the neighboring Tung Sing Sect, who starve nine times every three days. I heard many want to leave Crow, but Crow is too vicious—he even dares to step on the statue of Guan Yu, let alone his underlings who want to leave; he just serves them \"three stabs and six holes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Zu handed the other 500 to his underling, Gao Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Image)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go, donate this 500 to the Po Leung Kuk on the next street!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Po Leung Kuk, established in the 19th century by Lu Gengyang, a merchant from Dongguan stationed in Hong Kong, was founded specifically to combat human trafficking, forced prostitution, and to protect children. It is currently one of the larger charitable organizations on Hong Kong Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, if he had his own charitable organization, Gao Zu would only donate to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Owning a charitable organization in the future was one of Gao Zu's goals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Boss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Jin nodded and headed to the next street to donate the money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Jin was the warden from \"SPL II: A Time for Consequences.\" Gao Zu had met him by chance in the Kowloon Walled City. At that time, Gao Jin was seriously ill, and Gao Zu spent money to save him. Since then, Gao Jin had become Gao Zu's loyal subordinate. (PS: Patch: All characters played by the same actor only have a 30% resemblance to each other; they don't look exactly the same. Only Gao Zu can recognize them.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Zu heard the system prompt: \"You donated 500 yuan to the Po Leung Kuk Charity Society and received a random reward: 'Charisma +1'!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nice!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Zu absolutely loved this system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doing charity earns rewards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this system, I, Gao Zu, will do charity until I explode!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Zu had transmigrated from 2024. Because of the poor economic situation, he had been laid off, and he never expected to transmigrate into a newborn baby on Hong Kong Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only a year ago that he broke the \"mystery of the womb\" and regained his memories from his previous life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this era, there were no entertainment activities; the most fun thing was the arcade, but to Gao Zu, that was ancient history. How could it compare to the satisfaction of scrolling through TikTok or reading novels in the future?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Gao Zu had the \"Charity King System,\" doing good deeds every day to grind for rewards, which was quite interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the way, his boss was \"Tai Lo B\" from \"Young and Dangerous,\" the one whose whole family was wiped out; in the same branch was the protagonist of destiny, Chan Ho Nam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After awakening the mystery of the womb, Gao Zu realized the benefits of this world even more—there were too many opportunities, too many to count.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his previous world, as a \"cow-horse\" (wage slave), how could he ever turn his life around? He would be a wage slave for his whole life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in this world, he could turn his life around and become the master!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>10 minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Zu, with Gao Jin and his underlings, arrived at Tai Lo B's boxing gym.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang! Bang! Bang~~~~~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the boxing ring, two figures were trading punches and kicks, fighting intensely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Tai Lo B and Chan Ho Nam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow, Brother Zu is late again?\" Chicken, who had the biggest mouth, started shouting from the side of the ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Zu smiled: \"Can't help it, helped an old grandma cross the street, took some time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helping an old grandma?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chicken's mouth twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't think Gao Zu was making excuses, because Gao Zu was serious about doing charity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the entire branch and Hung Hing, who didn't know Gao Zu was the famous Charitable Heavenly Venerate? Sending warmth to nursing homes, helping street vendors set up stalls, voluntarily teaching street children their homework, mediating neighborhood disputes, delivering rice and oil to single-parent families...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People who didn't know would think Gao Zu was some rich young master who had suddenly become kind-hearted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Zu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Zu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Gao Zu walked into the gym, the triad members greeted him enthusiastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Gao Zu was their God of Wealth. Every time they did charity, Gao Zu would give them cash rewards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this isn't the God of Wealth, what is?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of prestige, Gao Zu's prestige was even higher than Tai Lo B, the branch leader. After all, Gao Zu gave real money, while Tai Lo B only gave \"loyalty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loyalty?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What's that worth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Zu, you're here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tai Lo B and Chan Ho Nam finished boxing, walked off the ring with smiles, and patted Gao Zu on the shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chan Ho Nam looked at Gao Zu and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother B!\" Gao Zu smiled respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tai Lo B nodded and said: \"Ah Nam, Ah Zu, you two come in. I have something to tell you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Zu and Chan Ho Nam followed Tai Lo B into a private room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tai Lo B: \"Sit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tai Lo B gestured for them to sit, took out a pack of Marlboros, tapped out three cigarettes, shared them, lit them, and they all sat comfortably, puffing away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing the cigarette, Tai Lo B crossed his legs, straightened his back, and got down to business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two have been with me for a long time. Now, there is an opportunity to move up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Zu and Chan Ho Nam were immediately overjoyed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They both thought of the same word:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red Pole!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's been so many years!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opportunity has finally come!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Gao Zu, who had long wanted to move up. Moving up meant greater authority, more money, more charitable merit, and more things to do...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Transmigrating into the Hong Kong film world, Gao Zu naturally wouldn't be satisfied with being a small-time triad member.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to slowly move up from being a triad member, relying on the large organization of Hung Hing, step by step to become the leader of the largest society in Hong Kong, then enter business, enter politics, and reach the pinnacle of wealth...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother B, please speak!\" *2\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tai Lo B observed their expressions and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today, Mr. Chiang gave me a task!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ba Bi from the Wo Hop To has been too arrogant lately, making Mr. Chiang dissatisfied.
