Chapter 124: 120 Brother Piao, Old Pan is so angry he cries: Damn it, being a councilor is great, huh!
"No!"
Brother Piao refused flatly, then cursed,
"What do you think Hong Xing is? Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu alone is enough to give us a headache!"
"You can't be so reckless in doing things!"
Fei Quan was unconvinced, his head held high.
Brother Piao thought for a moment and said: "How about this, I'll make an appointment with Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu to talk about it before making plans!"
Fei Quan was silent and didn't speak.
Brother Piao slapped the table in anger: "What? Is what I, the person in charge, say no longer effective?"
Under this pressure, Fei Quan nodded: "Fine, then let's talk. I want to see what that Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu can say!"
At this time, Brother Piao said again: "I heard news that Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's people also went to Lockhart Road. I'll call Old Pan to go together."
By joining forces, they would have more confidence and be able to put pressure on Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu.
Last time, the two of them were suppressed by Jiang Tiansheng.
This time, no matter what, they had to get back at Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu.
After speaking, he called Old Pan and told him the whole story.
Old Pan had already received multiple complaints from Brother Nineteen by this time and was also very dissatisfied with Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu.
Now that Brother Piao called to say he wanted to find Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu to demand an explanation, it was a perfect match.
"Good, I also happen to want to meet this Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu and ask him what exactly he wants to do?!"
On Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's side, he was calling Gao Qiu to change the plan a bit.
The book plan had too low a return.
He analyzed it and felt the place was too small, the limitations were too great, and the criteria for judging true charity were too low.
"This book plan, maintain it at Lockhart Plaza for one month."
"Cancel all other regions."
"Then change it to another new plan — Book-to-Home + Knowledge Competition Plan!"
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu explained the new plan he had thought of to Gao Qiu in detail.
Print a set of books, then send one to every household in Wan Chai, and then hold a "Wan Chai Knowledge Cup" competition, with the champion, runner-up, and second runner-up receiving 100,000 HKD, 50,000 HKD, and 20,000 HKD respectively.
Gao Qiu was stunned: "Printing 100,000 sets of books, how much will that cost?"
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu said: "Don't pursue quality, medium quality is fine, compress the costs."
Gao Qiu asked again: "Then what books should we print? Have you chosen, Brother Zu?"
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu hesitated for a moment.
Given that there wasn't much understanding of Chinese history in Hong Kong, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu naturally hoped to print history books about China.
What was popular in later generations was "Five Thousand Years of History," but if Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu remembered correctly, this set of books only started printing in November 1991, meaning it hadn't been released yet and was likely still being edited and calibrated.
There was also the "Twenty-Four Histories," which was completed in November 1977 after decades of effort by many historians in the country.
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu said to Gao Qiu: "Contact some newspapers, post a reward, 100,000 HKD, for the full set of the '77 edition of the 'Twenty-Four Histories'!"
"'Twenty-Four Histories'..."
Gao Qiu noted the name, "Okay, I'll go do it immediately."
"Ring ring ring~~~"
Just as Gao Qiu left, Brother Piao's call came in. After greeting, he started talking about business, his language a bit impolite.
"Today your Hong Xing people ran to my turf to cause trouble and beat up my people. What do you have to say about this?"
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu curled his lips: "Is that so? How come I heard your lackeys moved first? And beat up my lackeys?"
"Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, don't think that by playing with words this matter will just pass!" Brother Piao's table-slapping sound came through, "This time, you must give me an explanation!"
"You're the one who should give me an explanation!"
"Heh~~~ It's 11:30 now. 12:30, Yun Lai Tea House. If you have the guts, come over and talk!"
Yun Lai Tea House?
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu thought about it; he shouldn't be so unlucky as to run into Yuan Haoyun.
Even if he did run into Yuan Haoyun, he could leave early and leave that old Piao there to enjoy the gunfire.
As the saying goes — "Brothers scream one after another, I cover my ears and don't listen. Being a brother means loyalty; brothers get beaten, I watch the show."
That was also a kind of fun.
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu said: "Good! Yun Lai Tea House! See you later!"
1 hour later,
Yun Lai Tea House.
A blue Bentley and a Gold Cup van parked downstairs.
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu got out of the car and observed left and right. Hmm, everything as usual.
"Let's go!"
He brought Li Jie, Gao Gang, and the three lackeys who had been beaten up upstairs.
And Following Xiao Fu waited downstairs with a group of lackeys.
Upstairs to the second floor,
At this time, Yun Lai Tea House was very deserted; there wasn't a single customer. Only in the middle of the floor was a table where Old Pan and Brother Piao were already sitting imposingly.
A lackey was brewing tea, pouring tea for the two old guys.
And behind the two old guys were more than a dozen lackeys. Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu also saw Hong Le's Fei Quan and Chang Yi's Brother Nineteen.
"Brother Piao, Brother Pan... Sorry, it seems I'm late."
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu cupped his hands, walked to the table with a smile, and sat down imposingly, facing Old Pan and Old Piao.
Brother Piao and Old Pan cupped their hands.
Brother Piao waved away the lackey brewing tea, poured a cup for Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu himself, and said with a smile:
"Drink tea!"
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu took the teacup and took a light sip. He only felt the tea fragrance overflowing and the taste mellow; it was indeed delicious, but he couldn't tell what kind of tea it was, only that it was extraordinary.
Seeing this, Brother Piao explained with a smile: "This is the Da Hong Pao I brought specially, extremely rare. It's produced in the Wuyi Mountains of FJ Province. Legend has it that in ancient times, a poor scholar was cured of an illness after drinking this tea, and later passed the imperial examination as the top scholar. He even specially draped his red robe over the tea tree, and from then on, this tea was named 'Da Hong Pao'..."
Brother Piao had suffered enough from Jiang Tiansheng's showing off last time, so this time he also brought good stuff.
I'm not doing this to prove I'm great, but to tell others that what I lost, I must take back with my own hands!
However, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Brother Piao, I don't know about tea, this tea is indeed delicious... But, if you say it's that Da Hong Pao from Wuyi Mountain, then you might be wrong... Those teas are tribute teas, guarded by the military. Can this kind of tea reach your hands?"
Sorry, I'm a transmigrator.
Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao is a must-have for gods to show off; I'm somewhat familiar with it.
"Ah?"
Brother Piao's old face flushed red.
Damn it, showing off failed, and I've become a fool.
Next to him, Old Piao's beard was trembling, and the corners of his mouth were harder to suppress than an AK47.
At this time,
"Boom!!"
Just then, Fei Quan behind Brother Piao slapped the table violently, pointed at Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, and shouted,
"Fuck, what are you saying? My boss says it's Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao, so it's Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao!"
Fei Quan was making an issue out of it, stirring up conflict!
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's eyes turned cold.
Suddenly erupting,
He directly grabbed the teapot and smashed it like a meteor onto Fei Quan's forehead.
"Boom~~~"
The teapot shattered directly, and the boiling tea splashed all over Fei Quan's face. Fei Quan only felt a sharp pain from being smashed, and then the scalding pain.
"Ah~~~~"
He screamed.
The whole room was startled; no one expected that Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, who was smiling just a moment ago, would suddenly take action.
"Fuck your mother!" Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu pointed directly at Fei Quan and cursed:
"What is my status, what is your status? When I'm talking to your boss, do you have the qualifications to interrupt?"
Fei Quan covered his bleeding forehead and his face, which had been scalded red: "You hit me..."
Unbelievable!
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu sneered: "So what if I hit you? You're just a small fry, daring to bark in front of me. I hit you because I wanted to. Damn it, you're clearly a small fry, yet you think you're very powerful. If you have the guts, become the leader of the society before talking to me!"
Fei Quan was so angry his teeth itched: "You..."
"Enough!"
At this moment, Brother Piao stood up with anger on his face, blocking between Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu and Fei Quan.
"Fei Quan, be quiet!"
Then he looked at Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, gritting his teeth: "Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, by doing this, are you giving Hong Le no face at all?"
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu sneered: "What? Has Brother Piao forgotten what seniority and status are? What is his status? What is my status... Let alone him, even if you invited me to tea, I'd only come if I wanted to give you face!"
"Also, don't call me Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu next time! Please call me Councilor Guan!"
"You!!"
Brother Piao was so angry he felt blocked. This time he thought he was the society leader and Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was a society hall master, so he could suppress him with seniority. But Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu brought out his councilor status, this...
Brother Piao looked at Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's face.
Sharp-edged, arrogant gaze; he really didn't even put him in his eyes.
"Good!"
Brother Piao decided to endure it first.
"It was indeed Fei Quan's fault just now... Sit down, let's continue talking!"
Then he cursed at the waiter: "Damn it, are you dead? Hurry up and bring a new teapot!"
Several waiters were trembling with fear, and finally, after pushing each other, one waiter fearfully walked over with a teapot.
Brewing tea, continue!
Fei Quan was enduring the scalding pain in the back, not knowing why, feeling both angry and envious.
Angry at being humiliated by Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu and unable to fight back.
Envious of Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu suppressing the society leader Brother Piao until he couldn't speak.
Power!
This is what's called power!
Fei Quan's ambition expanded rapidly.
While his ambition expanded, he felt extremely dissatisfied with the weakness of the leader, Brother Piao.
"Such a weak person,"
"I must replace him!"
As for Old Pan next to him, seeing Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's momentum so strong, he decided to stabilize first and let Old Piao clash with Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu first.
Next,
Brother Piao spoke officially: "Ah Zu, this time we came here to talk about your Hong Xing invading our Chang Yi and Hong Le."
"I heard from Old Piao that you not only went door-to-door handing out flyers, but also did business... without even saying hello."
"What do you have to say?"
His gaze looked at Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, full of scrutiny!
"I solemnly declare!"
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu drank tea slowly, as if it wasn't him who had just erupted and hurt someone.
"This isn't business, it's charity! Those old people, their lives are inconvenient, I asked people to go door-to-door to help, what's the problem? Although there's a fee, the fee collected isn't even enough for me to pay wages. If this isn't charity, what is?"
"Also, those students, none of them are learning well, how can they be pillars of society? Do they have to come out and be hoodlums like you in the future? What? Are you proud of being hoodlums? I asked people to persuade them to study, to tutor them, what's the problem?"
"Society has no opinion, the parties involved have no opinion, their relatives have no opinion, only you have an opinion? Who do you think you are?"
Brother Piao, Old Pan, and the hoodlums behind them all frowned.
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's words were too harsh!
"Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu!"
Brother Piao slapped the table for the nth time, his hand turning red: "Don't speak so harshly, you're also a hoodlum by background... Also, forget about the old people, why stop our Hong Le from recruiting lackeys?"
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu sneered: "It's students, don't call it wrong!"
Brother Piao cursed: "But that student has already paid money and wants to join our Hong Le."
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu scoffed: "And he hasn't been entered into the register, so he's not a member of Hong Le, right?"
!.
Brother Piao frowned, increasingly dissatisfied: "Fine, let's not mention this for now, then you stepped onto our turf, how do you account for this?"
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu chuckled: "Remember, we are a charity operation, I have a charity foundation, registered with the Social Welfare Department, it's legal!"
Brother Piao was unhappy: "Bringing out the Social Welfare Department? Then you're being unreasonable."
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu laughed loudly: "If I were unreasonable, I would have called the police to drag you away one by one and send you to Stanley Prison... Everyone's ass isn't wiped clean, yet you speak so loudly to me?!"
"Also, please call me Councilor Guan in formal occasions!"
Brother Piao, Old Pan, Fei Quan, Brother Nineteen, and others: "............"
Everyone was very unhappy with Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's attitude of using power to suppress others.
But unhappy is unhappy, they couldn't do anything about Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu!
"Also!"
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu stood up, looking down at Brother Piao and Old Pan,
"The charity activities for the elderly and teenagers are projects promoted by me and the Chief Secretary and the Social Welfare Department. I, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, will continue to promote them..."
"If you block them, you are going against me, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, going against the Chief Secretary, going against the Social Welfare Department!"
"Let's see if you have the guts!"
"I, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, will still talk to you about underworld rules, but the Chief Secretary and the Social Welfare Department won't talk to you about underworld rules; they will only let the police come over and talk to you about the law."
"So, you can try the power of the Hong Kong Police's iron fist!"
At this moment,
The whole room was silent.
Brother Piao and Old Pan were silent directly.
They thought too simply at the beginning.
They thought they only needed to handle Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, but now it seemed it even involved the Chief Secretary and the Social Welfare Department.
The two old foxes suddenly felt the pressure of Mount Tai.
They were just thieves; in front of the power of the government, they were just small ants, to be crushed at will!
It seems,
They were destined to suffer this loss!
And they might have to continue suffering losses in the future!
Just then,
"I don't accept this!"
Fei Quan stood out again.
Brother Nineteen looked at Fei Quan in surprise; he didn't expect this guy to be such a greenhorn.
Fei Quan glared at Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu:
"I don't accept it!"
"Underworld matters are settled by underworld rules. You only know how to use power to suppress others, what kind of hero is that?"
Pfft~~~~
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu sprayed directly.
"You've become stupid from being a hoodlum? Still a hero? You have no brains at all."
When Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu watched movies before, he felt this Fei Quan had no overall perspective, only had vicious conspiracies, and was finally pitted to death by the more experienced Brother Piao.
But that's true, he didn't study much, listened to Shui Niu's nonsense since childhood, thought the underworld was just fighting and showing off, and knew nothing about the big picture.
So, if you're weak, read more books!
Fei Quan stiffened his neck and said: "According to underworld rules, since we can't talk it out, we fight! If we can't fight, we duel! I want to duel; whoever wins, has the truth!"
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu scoffed: "Duel? Just you?"
Forget it,
Just treat it as watching a show.
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu looked behind him; besides the injured Axi and the other two, there were only Li Jie and Gao Gang.
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu waved: "Gao Gang, teach him a lesson... Fei Quan, right? I can tell you, Gao Gang is the weakest of my subordinates."
Gao Gang stood out.
Fei Quan sized up Gao Gang, seeing that Gao Gang wasn't tall, about the same as himself, so he shouldn't be that strong. He didn't know that Gao Gang was the one who took out Fei Zai Cong and the others 1vs8.
Brother Piao and Old Pan also didn't know how strong Gao Gang was.
Because they only focused on Gao Jin and Following Xiao Fu, the two top combatants.
Presumably, he shouldn't be that strong, right?
Soon,
The floor was cleared.
Fei Quan and Gao Gang stood still, 3 meters apart, confronting each other.
"Start~~"
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu had no interest in waiting too long.
As soon as the words fell, the young and vigorous Fei Quan rushed at Gao Gang.
Then...
Gao Gang's body sank, his thighs tightened like springs, his waist twisted, he turned, and kicked out.
"Boom~~~"
Fei Quan flew back at a faster speed, slamming heavily into the crowd of Hong Le and Chang Yi lackeys, causing a burst of exclamations and chaos.
Fei Quan vomited blood on the spot, then tilted his head and fainted.
Gao Gang patted his clothes and stood back behind Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu.
Heh...
Trash!
Brother Piao, Old Pan, Brother Nineteen, and others were all silent.
Fei Quan was at least the best fighter in Hong Le now, without exception.
As a result, he was kicked away by an unknown subordinate of Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu with one kick; he was defeated too quickly.
They didn't have as many people as Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu!
Their high-level fighters weren't as strong as Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's subordinates.
Fuck!
What's the point of playing!
And Brother Nineteen also broke into a cold sweat; damn, wouldn't he also not be able to withstand a kick from the other side?
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu drank a sip of tea, smiling: "How about it? Brother Piao, Brother Pan, do you want to call someone else to fight another round?"
Brother Piao slapped his leg: "Oh, it's all a misunderstanding!"
The situation is such, he can only admit defeat!
Old Pan also smiled and held the teapot to pour tea for Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "That's right, you are doing charity, how can it count as crossing the line?... Come, drink tea!"
"Admitted you were wrong, right..."
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu chuckled:
"Good!"
"Then my lackey was beaten by you, how do we account for this?"
He pulled Axi over, pointing at his bruised and swollen face.
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was pushing his luck!
Just bullying you two old foxes!
Old Pan directly played dead; anyway, it wasn't his Chang Yi who did it.
Brother Nineteen was secretly rejoicing on the side: Fortunately, I, this baby, was harmonious and made money from the beginning, and didn't beat Hong Xing's people.
Old Pan also lost his edge at this time: "What do you want to do, Brother Zu?"
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu laughed: "I don't want much, underworld rules, broken bones and tendons, medical expenses 100,000, 3 people, 300,000!"
Old Pan: "............"
Opening his mouth and it's 300,000!
Simply too greedy!
Old Pan looked at Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's sharp eyes, and finally turned back to Fei Quan's brother, Jun Zai, behind him: "You pay this money."
Jun Zai naturally didn't want to pay, but the leader spoke, could he resist? He could only grit his teeth.
"Okay, Uncle Piao!"
"Wait!" Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu said, "I don't want to wait, I want it now!"
Brother Piao was helpless, could only call his lackey to bring the money over.
10 minutes later, the lackey brought 300,000 over, and Brother Piao put the money in front of Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu.
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu directly distributed the money on the spot, 100,000 each to Axi and the other three.
"You're injured, you take the money."
Axi and the other three were moved: "Thank you, Brother Zu."
The lackeys of Hong Le and Chang Yi were all going crazy with envy.
Damn it, taking it all!
Underworld rules, shouldn't the boss take the majority? Shouldn't the lackey only get a little bit?
Why did Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu give it all?
At this moment, they all couldn't help but think about whether to join Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's subordinates. Everyone says Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu is very good to his lackeys, with complete benefits; I didn't expect it to be to this extent!
Morale dropped -10 -10 -10......
Brother Piao, Old Pan: "............"
Keenly feeling the lackeys' hearts wavering, they had an urge to vomit blood.
"Alright,"
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu stood up, cupped his hands: "Since the matter is finished, Brother Piao, Brother Pan... Goodbye!"
Subsequently, he led Li Jie and the others, walking out of Yun Lai Tea House with big strides.
Downstairs, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu and his party got into the cars one by one. With the sound of car doors closing, the vehicles drove away slowly, disappearing at the end of the street.
And at this time,
An officer Yuan Haoyun, who looked 30% like Gao Qiu, walked up to Yun Lai Tea House with a toothpick in his mouth.
Today, he came to have afternoon tea, the proper kind of afternoon tea.
3 PM,
Fei Quan woke up in Mingxin Hospital.
Jun Zai was by the bedside, and seeing him wake up, said happily: "You finally woke up, that's great... The doctor said your body has no major problems for now, just rest more."
"Also, we beat up Hong Xing's people, Brother Piao asked us to pay 300,000 in compensation to Hong Xing."
Fei Quan didn't speak, nor was he angry,
A pair of eyes looked at the hospital ceiling, silent.
Today's events gave him a great shock.
On one hand, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was clearly wrong, yet he was able to force Hong Le and Chang Yi to admit they were wrong.
On the other hand, he thought he could fight well, but he couldn't even take one move from an unknown subordinate of the other side.
So!
Hong Le is so weak!
So, I am so weak!
"Jun Zai!"
"What do you say, how about we defect to Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu?"
