Chapter 18

"Brother Zu..."

Chen Yongren walked up to Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu and bowed respectfully.

"My name is Chen Yongren. I was with the Wo Hop To before. Having heard of Brother Zu's great reputation, I have come specifically to join you."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu looked at the Chen Yongren before him, his inner monologue already erupting in curses.

"Damn it!"

"Huang Wang Zhicheng, you deadbeat scumbag!!"

"You've got your eyes on me the moment you took office?!"

Damn, I'd better watch out for when you decide to throw something off a rooftop at me!

Wu Ying introduced him proudly from the side: "Brother Zu, don't let Ah Ren's thin frame fool you; he's fierce in a fight. He beat over a dozen people in the ring last night. How about it? Satisfied, right!"

"Satisfied! Of course I'm satisfied!" Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu laughed heartily and patted Wu Ying on the shoulder. "Good, not bad! You really are capable when it comes to getting things done!... Are there any more? Bring out all the talent you've got for me!"

Wu Ying laughed loudly, feeling proud of himself: "Hahaha~~ Boss, you really understand me. That's right, there's one more!"

"Gao Qiu, come over here!"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu held back his expression for a long time, barely managing to keep it together.

Damn,

Another undercover cop!

Wu Ying, you're a beast!

Are you the damn King of Undercover Cops or something? Damn it all!

Sure enough, following Wu Ying's loud shout, a sturdy man, taller and broader than Gu Zai and Chen Yongren, walked over.

Overcoat, slicked-back hair...

Chow Yun-fat!

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu suppressed the twitching at the corner of his mouth, laughed heartily, and patted Gao Qiu's muscular arms: "Wow, I like this little brother. Tall and big, one look and you can tell he's a great fighter!"

Wu Ying took the credit: "That's right, he really is a great fighter. He had a match last night, and no one in the ring could stand against him."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu let out a demonic laugh, "Hahaha~~~~," something like "Jie-jie-jie..."

"Good! Not bad!"

"With the three of you talents joining, my Causeway Bay can finally be considered to have stars as numerous as the clouds!"

Isn't that the truth?

Too many stars as numerous as the clouds!

Every single one of them is an undercover cop!

That damn Wu Ying is truly a beast; Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu felt like kicking him to death.

But thinking about it, people like undercover cops are actually quite useful. If you use the right methods, they're ten times better than ordinary thugs.

It just so happened that Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was about to push forward the establishment of his property management company.

These three undercover cops could be used exactly like beasts of burden.

Squeeze them to death, squeeze them hard, put them on a 996 schedule... no, make that 007, squeeze them dry.

They won't quit anyway, right?

As he thought about it, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu revealed the evil, smug grin of a capitalist Dragon King.

Jie-jie-jie~~~~~

Gao Qiu, Su Jianqiu, and Chen Yongren couldn't help but shiver, feeling as if they were being watched by something terrifying.

"Wu Ying!"

"Here's 200,000."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu took out two stacks of large bills and threw them to Wu Ying: "Take the newly joined brothers out for some team building. Whatever they want to eat, drink, or play, don't you dare save money for me!"

Wu Ying shouted excitedly: "Yes! Brother Zu!"

Hahaha~~~ I, Wu Ying, am going to rise up too!

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu specifically added: "Gao Qiu, Su Jianqiu, Chen Yongren... you three, since you're talents, your treatment will naturally be different. Get 5 girls for each of you, and make sure they can't get out of bed tomorrow!"

Gao Qiu, Su Jianqiu, and Chen Yongren: "!!!!"

They felt a pain in their kidneys!

Damn, that's ruthless!

As for the other newly recruited thugs, they were all green with envy!

Damn it, 5 girls! I want that too!

Wu Ying felt Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's affirmation of his recruiting, and shouted excitedly again: "Yes, I guarantee I'll get it done!"

Then he waved his hand...

"Brothers, follow me!"

"Yun Lai Tea House..."

"Wait, don't go to Yun Lai Tea House..." Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu interrupted directly. "Go to a street food stall instead. Yun Lai Tea House doesn't sound like a good place..."

What if you run into that madman Yuan Haoyun? Wouldn't you just be throwing your lives away?

That lunatic would start shooting "bang-bang-bang~~~" even if there were civilians around.

Just thinking about Yuan Haoyun shooting up Yun Lai Tea House, failing to kill the villain, but instead taking out four undercover cops—that scene would be just too beautiful...

Wu Ying led the crowd of new lackeys away in a swarm, Ah Wah looking happy.

"Wu Ying, he's finally able to get something done."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's mouth twitched upon hearing this.

"Come to the office, let's talk about future work."

"Yes, Boss."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu took Gao Jin and Ah Wah into the office. This used to be Tai Lo B's office; now it was Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's.

He closed the door.

"Sit wherever you like, pour your own tea..."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu looked at Ah Wah and Gao Jin; these two were his core subordinates, and they were capable of both administrative and martial tasks.

Ah Wah had already proven his business acumen with the bar business.

And Gao Jin? Being able to manage a prison in "SPL 2" showed he was very talented as well.

"Next, we are going to establish a company—a property management company!"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu went over the scope of the property company's work.

"Collecting protection fees is our main gray income, but it's illegal... We are going to make it legal..."

"There's also the agency for housing rentals and sales..."

"And..."

"We are going to unify every aspect of the neighborhood's life in this entire district. Outsiders won't be allowed in, and we'll handle all the business ourselves..."

"This company won't just help us make money; it can also be used to launder money through a large volume of small fees..."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu explained the content and philosophy of the property company.

"Furthermore, when the time comes, we will promote our model, let other triads join in, stop the fighting and killing, and instead focus on making money in harmony, distributing interests, gradually swallowing other triads, and expanding our territory..."

Then he mentioned his own thoughts:

"There are only 7 years left until the handover, so we definitely can't continue being thugs..."

"So we must use these 7 years to wash our hands and go legit..."

"In the future, I want to be a councilor..."

"You all need to be councilors too..."

"Also, we need to build schools, nurture the children in the district, have them become lawyers, work for the government, and join the police force..."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu stood in the office, speaking eloquently and heroically about his plans.

Ah Wah and Gao Jin were both dazzled and shocked to the core.

"I never thought the boss had already thought so far ahead!"

At the same time, they were extremely excited.

If things could really go as Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu said, they might truly be able to change their life's destiny.

In truth, after all these years, they had already realized that they couldn't be thugs forever.

And now, in the future blueprint Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu had painted, they seemed to see a bright future.

They could be councilors, their subordinates could go legit, and in the future, their sons, daughters, and grandchildren could be lawyers, doctors, and officials...

Hey~~

That sounds pretty good!!

At this moment, their hearts burned with passion.

The future is promising!

Struggle! Struggle!

Over the next week,

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu personally visited Jiang Tiansheng and explained his plan.

Jiang Tiansheng's first reaction was: Does this Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu want to break away from Hong Xing?

Finally, after Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's explanation, he was put at ease and became very interested, deciding to let Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu run a pilot program, and if successful, promote it to the entire Hong Xing.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu returned from Jiang Tiansheng's place,

The next day,

A property company named "Five-Star Property" was established in Causeway Bay, with the slogan "Giving you a five-star home."

Then, all the Hong Xing lackeys in Causeway Bay were converted into security guards, paying into the Mandatory Provident Fund (similar to social security) and receiving salaries.

Of course, there were lackeys who felt this wasn't "thug" enough or cool enough, so Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu specifically approved for them to go to Mong Kok and follow Tai Lo B.

This move to go legit caused a huge stir within Hong Xing.

Various branch leaders called to ask about the situation, and after Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's explanation, some thought it was good, while others thought it was nonsense.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu sneered; you guys don't know a damn thing.

This property company is my main business!

Next, I'll use it in combination with the "Support Rate" rewarded by the system to invade the territories of other triads in Wan Chai, outside of Causeway Bay.

"Cheung Yee Society, Brother Nineteen, Lockhart Road..."

"Wo Luen Shing, Chui Gai..."

"Tung Sing, Crow..."

"Hung Lok, Fei Chuen..."

"Hong Xing, Tai Lo B..."

"Brother Wai..."

"Prince..."

"Volcano..."

"Gao Lao Ming..."

"Flying Dragon..."

"Gui Li Gao..."

Counting them up, hiss~~~~~ Is this too much power?

And at this moment,

With Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu rising to become the Causeway Bay branch leader and establishing a property company,

Huang Wang Zhicheng was getting anxious!

He hurriedly called Chen Yongren: Meet me on the rooftop!
