Chapter 10: 10. Move up to Red Pole, the battle for branch leader!

Hong Xing General Hall,

Today Jiang Tiansheng urgently convened a Hong Xing meeting.

Meeting Hall,

A huge long conference table was placed in the middle. On one side of the room, photo frames were placed on the wall, which were group photos of Hong Xing's past leaders and branch leaders.

In addition, behind Jiang Tiansheng's seat was a shrine, red candles reflecting, a large incense burner, and a black-shoed Director Guan Gong Gong placed behind the incense burner.

As time passed, major branch leaders, and trusted underlings, walked in one after another and took their seats.

"What happened?"

"Why was everyone suddenly convened for a meeting?"

"Don't know."

"Strange."

Prince, Han Bin, Thirteen Sisters, Chen Yao, Ma Wangjian, Liang Ma, Xiyan, Baji, Fatty Li...

And Jiang Tiansheng, as always, was late.

At this time, Big Brother B walked in with Gao Jin and Chen Haonan.

As soon as Gao Jin entered, he immediately attracted the attention of other branch leaders and trusted underlings.

"Wow, Brother B, your head horse Gao Jin has been very powerful lately~~"

"Yeah, on TV every day, heard the Governor praised him."

"Haha, we triad members can also be on TV and be praised, unheard of."

These branch leaders were envious, some unhappy, and more dissatisfied.

Feeling that this Gao Jin is simply out of place with Hong Xing. We are all triad members, bugs in the mud, why can you get these praises?

Fatty Li was a bit different. He always boasted that he was a cultural person and an artist, feeling that Gao Jin was very pleasing to the eye.

Big Brother B responded to each branch leader with a smile and sat opposite Chen Yao, the first seat on the right of Jiang Tiansheng's main seat.

Gao Jin sat behind, and Chen Haonan also sat next to him, but obviously Chen Haonan was listless at this time, as if his spirit had been drawn out.

Soon, the meeting time arrived.

But Jiang Tiansheng hadn't come yet, and Liang Kun hadn't come yet.

"What's wrong with Liang Kun? Late again?"

After a few minutes, Liang Kun didn't come, but Jiang Tiansheng came.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Everyone stood up one after another.

"Brother Jiang."

"Not late, not late."

Baji was the best at flattering, ran to Jiang Tiansheng, his flattering voice the loudest: "Brother Jiang is not late at all, we just arrived too."

After some liveliness, Jiang Tiansheng sat down, and other branch leaders also sat down one after another.

"Ah Yao, bring the person up!"

"Yes, Brother Jiang."

Bring someone?

Who?

Just when everyone was puzzled, two underlings dragged Liang Kun and Sha Qiang, who were like dead dogs, into the meeting hall.

At this time, Liang Kun and Sha Qiang were covered in bruises and scars on their faces, necks, and arms, obviously having been tortured.

"Wow~~~"

"What happened to Liang Kun?"

All the branch leaders were shocked, looking at Liang Kun, and then looking at Jiang Tiansheng.

Jiang Tiansheng's face was gloomy: "Ah Yao, you say it."

"Yes, Brother Jiang." Chen Yao looked at everyone and started to tell the story. Liang Kun framed Chen Haonan, and then was caught in the act by Gao Jin's Gao Jin who rushed over.

"What?"

"This bastard Liang Kun, eating inside and out?"

One by one, the branch leaders were angry. Actually, they weren't that angry, but Liang Kun was dead for sure, so they naturally had to express their stance fiercely to please Jiang Tiansheng.

Baji was the most active, slamming the table, standing up angrily: "Li Qiankun, you damn punk, colluding with outsiders, betraying the sect, framing brothers... What do you want to do?!"

Liang Kun glanced at Baji, showing disdain.

This Baji, full of muscles, only knows how to fight and kill, and flatter, bullies the weak and fears the strong, no brains.

Liang Kun knew he was finished this time, couldn't turn over, so he didn't want to talk, closing his eyes and waiting for death.

The thing he regretted most was that he shouldn't have gone to Macau himself. As a result, he went himself, was caught by Gao Jin himself, and was recorded. He couldn't deny it even if he wanted to.

After a few minutes of noise,

"Alright!" Jiang Tiansheng's voice fell, and everyone quieted down.

"Ah Yao!"

"What punishment should such behavior as Li Qiankun receive?"

Chen Yao: "Back to Brother Jiang, according to the eighth oath of the Hongmen, those who fabricate that brothers have rebellious ethics, and those who plot against the incense master, and those who assassinate brothers, should die under ten thousand knives."

(Fat Snow: You are also very familiar with the gang rules?)

Everyone nodded.

Jiang Tiansheng: "Then execute!"

Liang Kun and Sha Qiang were pushed directly in front of Director Guan Gong Gong and knelt down.

"Brother Jiang!" Chen Haonan stood up at this time, looking at Liang Kun with a vicious look, "This Li Qiankun harmed my brother to death, I hope I can perform the execution, hope Brother Jiang fulfills it."

Jiang Tiansheng looked at Chen Haonan, the victim, for the first time, and nodded: "Good! You do it!"

Soon,

Chen Haonan took a knife and stabbed Liang Kun and Sha Qiang in the stomach, chi chi chi~~~

Soon, blood was all over the floor.

Liang Kun and Sha Qiang soon received their lunch boxes.

"Drag them out..."

Soon, the bloodstains in the meeting hall were cleaned up.

And at this time, the system prompt sounded in Gao Jin's ear.

"Ding... You eliminated a big villain Liang Kun, and his head horse Sha Qiang..."

"Because Liang Kun forced women into prostitution, sold drug powder... extremely evil, the host will receive a rich reward..."

"Ding... You received a 'Stock Trading · Expert' card, which can be used to obtain a large amount of expert-level stock trading experience!"

Gao Jin was happy, this thing is good.

He has the "Hong Kong Stock Market Future 30-Day Prediction Card," but he hasn't studied the Hong Kong stock market. This card just makes up for his shortcomings.

The meeting continued.

Jiang Tiansheng swept toward the branch leaders.

The branch leaders all started to get excited.

Liang Kun is dead.

Then Liang Kun's territory in Mong Kok...

Everyone wanted to get a piece of it, even if they didn't, they wanted to get benefits from it!

Jiang Tiansheng: "Alright, Liang Kun has been dealt with. Next, there is a problem... his territory in Mong Kok, who will take over!"

Han Bin raised his hand without saying a word: "I think Thirteen Sisters' territory can be expanded. Anyway, Thirteen Sisters' Portland Street is also in Mong Kok, just connect them, Thirteen Sisters will manage it."

As soon as this was said, other branch leaders refused one after another.

"No!"

"There is no such rule."

"I don't agree."

Han Bin saw that there were too many people opposing, so he had to give up.

He still understood the situation. Since it wouldn't work, then forget it, and didn't force it.

However,

His brother Dinosaur didn't see this point.

Dinosaur stood out at this time: "Brother Jiang, I recommend Sheng Fan. He has strong strength and has made many military exploits for Hong Xing. Hong Xing can be clean in Tunmen, thanks to Sheng Fan's help. Now Hong Kong's territory can be clean, only Tunmen is unique, Sheng Fan's credit can be imagined."

As soon as this was said, Han Bin's face changed.

Looked at Jiang Tiansheng.

Han Bin now has himself, Thirteen Sisters, Dinosaur, and Xiyan, four branch leaders, occupying one-third of Hong Xing, plus a Sheng Fan branch leader, that's 5, almost one-half.

What is this called?

Do you want to force me to wear clothes when it's cold?

And Jiang Tiansheng, at this moment, also frowned.

He didn't want to see Han Bin grow big.

Jiang Tiansheng smiled: "Who else wants to be this branch leader?"

Big Brother B raised his hand with a smile: "Brother Jiang, everyone, I think Ah Zu is good, strong strength, has money, this time killing Ba Bi was his great merit, and Liang Kun's matter, the great merit is also his."

Gao Jin stood up and bowed to the branch leaders.

Mong Kok branch leader, although not as good as the Causeway Bay branch leader he thought of, is also not bad, both are very prosperous areas.

Gao Jin naturally wanted it!

Becoming a branch leader, he can be considered to have broken away from Big Brother B's influence and can do many things in a justified way.

This branch leader, he is determined to win!

Chen Haonan sat on the side, watching Gao Jin appear so grandly, quite a feeling of "That year 18, school dance, standing like a minion."

If it weren't for Chicken messing things up, he would have a share in this matter, but now he is lucky not to be punished.

Just then,

A mocking laugh sounded.

"Brother B, be careful of hitting your eyes." Dinosaur sneered: "This Gao Jin of yours, I'm afraid his composition is unclear. What if he's an undercover from the police?"

Big Brother B slammed the table and cursed: "Are you crazy? Ah Zu has been with me since he was 16. How can he be an undercover at 16?"

Dinosaur played with his fingers, mocking: "But doing charity every day, just like Mother Mary, have you ever seen any triad member so kind?"

Han Bin was anxious when he saw this, wishing he could kick Dinosaur and tell him to shut up.

Unfortunately, Dinosaur was at the end, and he was in front.

Big Brother B sneered at Dinosaur: "No evidence, want to slander people? Stupid!"

The boss is arguing,

At this time, Sheng Fan behind Dinosaur bared his teeth at Gao Jin, making a powerful muscle-showing action.

Provocation!

As a result, Gao Jin just responded faintly: "Heh, naive!"

Sheng Fan: "????"

Suddenly furious and bristling, he cursed: "Director Director Director Guan Gong Zu Zu, if you've got the guts, fight me one-on-one!"

Gao Jin rolled his eyes: "Are you very good at fighting? Now being a branch leader, you need to use your brain. If you don't use your brain, you'll be a triad member for life."

Sheng Fan felt offended, yelling.

"Sheng Fan!"

Boss Dinosaur stopped the angry Sheng Fan.

At this time, all the branch leaders had seen some clues. This Sheng Fan only knows how to fight and kill, his brain doesn't seem to be very good, a bit stupid.

Immediately, their view of Sheng Fan dropped a lot.

Dinosaur almost kicked Sheng Fan to death.

Jiang Tiansheng: "Are there any others?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Jiang Tiansheng: "Good, our Hong Xing values democracy. Old rules, one month later, all branch leaders vote. Gao Jin, Sheng Fan, whoever gets more votes will be the Mong Kok branch leader. And the territory of Mong Kok will be temporarily managed by Chen Yao."

Liang Kun definitely has many industries in Mong Kok. Chen Yao can get a lot of benefits for him, Jiang Tiansheng.

Dinosaur: "Wait! Now Gao Jin is not a Red Pole yet, not qualified to manage a branch."

Jiang Tiansheng: "He will be later."

Next,

It is Gao Jin's Red Pole promotion ceremony.

Open the incense hall!

Chen Yao counted off Director Director Director Guan Gong Zu Zu's contributions, then began the procedure.

"Crossing the bridge at Erban, ten thousand troops pass by; left copper, right iron, not a hair off..."

"The Zhu family sets the stage, the Hong family passes through; those who don't enter the Hong Gate are outsiders..."

"Love your brothers? Or love gold?"

"Love my brothers!"

"Love your brothers? Or love gold?"

"Love my brothers!"

After the segment concluded, Chen Yao, acting as the master of ceremonies, loudly announced Director Director Director Guan Gong Zu Zu's promotion to Red Pole.

From this moment on, Director Director Director Guan Gong Zu Zu officially became a Red Pole of Hong Xing.

Subsequently,

Director Director Director Guan Gong Zu Zu scattered money and invited everyone present to a meal, booking out the Imperial Palace Grand Restaurant; sumptuous dishes were served, and amidst the clinking of glasses, it was a lively scene.

One hour later, the Red Pole promotion banquet ended.

The guests dispersed.

After Director Director Director Guan Gong Zu Zu saw everyone off, he got into Tai Lo B's car.

In the car,

Tai Lo B asked Director Director Director Guan Gong Zu Zu: "One month to get the support of every branch leader—how is it going? Do you have confidence?"

Director Director Director Guan Gong Zu Zu smiled: "Brother B, how could I not handle such a small matter? You need to have a little faith in me."

Tai Lo B thought about it, and that was true.

Up until now, Director Director Director Guan Gong Zu Zu hadn't made a single mistake and had always been steady.

Tai Lo B: "Do you need my help?"

Director Director Director Guan Gong Zu Zu chuckled: "No need."

Director Director Director Guan Gong Zu Zu already had a plan.

The Jianghu isn't just about fighting and killing; it's about human relationships and worldly wisdom!

Meanwhile, on the other side,

Kwai Tsing,

Han Bin's bar, his base of operations.

In the office, Han Bin called Thirteen Sister, Dinosaur, and Narrow Eyes together.

"Dinosaur! You did the wrong thing today!"

"Why?"

Dinosaur was unconvinced.

Han Bin analyzed his own forces and compared them to the entirety of Hong Xing.

"If we add another branch leader, would that be acceptable?"

"Chairman Jiang would think we're trying to usurp the throne!"

Upon hearing this, Dinosaur broke into a sweat.

Dinosaur: "Big Brother, what should we do then?"

Han Bin thought for a moment: "Since it's come to this, Sheng Fan is your top lieutenant. If he withdraws, it won't be good for his reputation, and I'm afraid no one will care about his face in the future..."

Dinosaur: "So, it's still an election?"

Han Bin nodded: "That's right."

Then he began to analyze the odds of winning,

"We have 4 votes in total..."

"There are twelve branches. Without Leung Kwan, there are 11. We only need to secure 3 more votes to get Sheng Fan into the position."

"Focus on Ba Ji and Fat Man Li; money should solve things with those two."

"Then there's Leung Ma. She's getting on in years, so she probably won't dare to act recklessly and will likely listen to Chairman Jiang."

"Prince has connections with Mr. Jiang Brother Tian Yang, so he's always had some minor friction with Chairman Jiang; we can try to win him over..."

"Ma Wang Jian..."

After the analysis, Thirteen Sister, Dinosaur, Narrow Eyes, and the others realized that getting 3 votes didn't seem difficult; at the very least, they had 3.

The chances of winning were high!
