Chapter 180: then translation of title, then ===GLOSSARY=== then list

~10 min read 1,860 words

【4】

Translation: "The next day."

Tian Yang'en received her new ID, which shows she is a native of Sai Kung named Chen Yang'en, and she is exactly eighteen.

【7】

Maybe they expect the name to be kept in pinyin without tone marks: Tian Yang'en. Since the 'en' sound corresponds to that character, the name would be Tian Yang'en. To avoid confusion, I'll write it as Tian Yang'en, even though the glossary doesn't provide it, but we must follow the rule.

【11】

But note: In line 2, they say 'On the ID, she is a native of Sai Kung, named Chen Yang'en.' So they changed her surname to Chen, which we need to reflect.

Thus translation: "Tian Yang'en just got her new ID card; on it, she is a native of Xi Gong, named Chen Yang'en, exactly eighteen years old."

We need to keep punctuation.

【17】

The director's surname is Chen, so when Li Xin processed her ID, he changed her surname; outwardly, she must have no contact with Tian Yangsheng and them.

【22】

Thus: "The director's surname is Chen, so when Li Xin processed her ID, he changed her surname; outwardly, she must have no contact with Tian Yangsheng and the others."

Since meeting Li Xin, Tian Yang'en has felt overwhelmed—how could she possibly obtain a Hong Kong Island ID so quickly?

Translate: "Since meeting Li Xin, Tian Yang'en felt her brain couldn't keep up! An ID from Gangdao, obtained this quickly?"

【26】

Li Xin saw her confused look and explained, 'Don't be surprised; in Sai Kung, there's hardly anything I can't do.'

Translate: "Li Xin saw her confused expression and explained: 'Don't be surprised; in Xi Gong, there's little I can't accomplish.'"

【29】

From now on, follow your sister Qiuti; keep your gun permit and pistol on you at all times, shoot decisively if there's danger, and I'll handle the aftermath.

【32】

Translate: "Tian Yang'en cherishedly put her ID in her pocket; from today on, she can freely live under the sun, no longer needing to be anxious all day."

He flung open his windbreaker, slung a 1911 pistol onto his belt, and smiled as he spoke.

Translate: "She flung open her coat, a 1911 hanging from her belt, and said with a smile."

【36】

Translate: "'Don't worry, boss; I won't let anyone harm Sister Qiuti unless I die—no one can touch her before then.'"

Qiuti grabbed her bag, left the villa, and told Li Xin, 'I'm taking little En to work now; you go get busy.'

Translate: "Qiuti lifted her bag and walked out of the villa, saying to Li Xin: 'I'm taking little En to work now; you go get busy!'"

【39】

Li Xin also had plenty to do today; he didn't say anything to her, just had Jianguo drive to the main hall.

【41】

Today the main hall entrance was lively; each Leader had many lackeys around them.

【44】

Translate: "Only Li Xin brought Jianguo alone, but their aura far surpassed those people."

The weather was still a bit chilly, and both wore black windbreakers and sunglasses.

Translate: "The weather was still a bit chilly; both wore black windbreakers and sunglasses."

【47】

Pushing through the crowd, he came to Ji Ge's side and asked: 'Ji Ge, what's going on? Why are you all surrounded by so many lackeys?'

【49】

Ji Ge pulled him aside and whispered, 'Recently, East Prosperity has been active, sending many people to stir up trouble in Oil Point Prosperous.'

【51】

Last night, the head of the Ni family, Ni Kun, was assassinated; things have been too chaotic lately, everyone is on guard, don't get caught up in it.

【53】

He hasn't been paying attention to the martial world lately; unexpectedly, things have become this chaotic! East Prosperity shouldn't be clashing with New Record in the New Territories.

【56】

Translate: "How could they have the strength to advance into Oil Point Prosperous?"

He voiced his doubts: 'Ji Ge, aren't East Prosperity and New Record fighting anymore?'

Translate: "With doubts, he asked: 'Ji Ge, aren't East Prosperity and New Record not fighting anymore?'"

【59】

Ji Ge said, 'Still fighting? Bullshit! The Four-Eyed Dragon went in, leaving New Record plagued by internal strife—who has time to clash with East Prosperity?'

【62】

Translate: "Li Xin froze upon hearing that, then immediately felt relieved; in this world, aside from the main timeline, many things don't match up—anything could happen."

This is the key to his caution: aside from the general framework, everything is subject to change.

Translate: "This is the key to his caution: aside from the general framework, everything is variable."

【66】

Translate: "Can't be careless!"

Having figured it out, Li Xin stopped asking about East Prosperity's affairs; there was no need to wonder why they were advancing into Oil Point Prosperous.

Translate: "Having figured it out, Li Xin stopped asking about East Prosperity's affairs; no need to wonder why they marched into Oil Point Prosperous."

【69】

Aside from Number Four Kid, there's nothing else!

【72】

Translate: "This matter doesn't concern him much, but the Ni family's affair does—if handled well, he could gain a lot."

The Ni family isn't like those poor gangs; they're filthy rich—just a bite and they'd make a fortune—and he knows the inside story better than anyone.

【74】

After figuring it out, he walked into the conference room, took his seat, and waited for the meeting to begin.

Translate: "After thinking it through, he lifted his leg into the meeting room, sat in his seat, and waited for the meeting to start."

【77】

Amid the crowd's flattery, he knew Jiang Tian Sheng had arrived.

【80】

Translate: "Li Xin also rose to greet Jiang Tian Sheng: 'Mr. Jiang, your demeanor is still outstanding; I seem to see you looking much younger—any secret?'"

Jiang Tian Sheng heard this, smiled broadly, and replied, 'Ah Xin, those uncles and aunts from the Netherlands have recently brought me plenty of fish oil; after the meeting, go to my place to pick some up to eat—it works well.'

【82】

Li Xin put on an act of sudden realization and exclaimed, 'It really has to be you, Mr. Jiang! Those uncles and aunts far away in the Netherlands are constantly thinking of you.'

Translate: "Li Xin put on an act of sudden realization and sighed: 'It really has to be you, Mr. Jiang! Those uncles far away in the Netherlands are constantly thinking of you.'"

【86】

Translate: "'From now on, we should learn more from you on how to be a person—you're a role model.'"

Other Leaders, hearing Li Xin's flattery, suddenly understood; no wonder whenever Hong Xing has good fortune, Mr. Jiang always thinks of him first—if it were me, I'd think of him too.

【88】

That flattery is truly top-notch!

Translate: "That flattery really shows skill!"

【91】

After the laughter, they got down to business; Jiang Tian Sheng asked, 'Taizi, A Tai, A Kun, is Oil Point Prosperous unstable? Do you three have any problems? Do you need gang support?'

【93】

All three shook their heads; Jingkun, representing Oil Point Prosperous, said, 'Mr. Jiang, Oil Point Prosperous has no problems; we can all support each other.'

【95】

Sky Rainbow still controls the streets near Red Damp Tunnel; the Main Island Leaders can also lend support; Prosperity's turf is as stable as Mount Tai.

【98】

Translate: "You don't need to waste your energy on this; we few can handle it."

Taizi and the boxing king Tai also chimed in, 'Mr. Jiang, we have no problems—you can relax.'

【100】

Jiang Tian Sheng nodded satisfied, smiled, and said, 'Now our Hong Xing is growing strong quickly, finances are ample; if you need anything, just speak up—I have no problem with that.'

Translate: "Jiang Tian Sheng nodded satisfied, smiling: 'Now Prosperity's strength is growing quickly, finances are ample; if you need anything, just speak up—I have no issues here.'"

【104】

Translate: "He then looked at the other Leaders: 'You're the same; as long as you need something, just tell me—the gang will give you support.'"

Ji Ge couldn't let this opportunity pass; he immediately started laying on the flattery.

【106】

'All of this is thanks to Mr. Jiang's leadership—Hong Xing has what it has today, and it's all your achievement.'

Translate: "'All this is thanks to Mr. Jiang's leadership—Prosperity has what it has today, all thanks to your merit!'"

【109】

Changing tone, he pleaded, 'Mr. Jiang, our West District is barely holding on; the Number Gang's Loyalty Word Pile, and Lian Haolong are now very fierce.'

【112】

Translate: "'Several gangs have been driven out of the West District by him—can you give us some support?'"

Other Leaders ignored his remarks; even the Central District Leader Grey Dog didn't say a word.

【114】

Ji Ge usually just talks big but never actually helps anyone with action; so it's no surprise that no one spoke up to help him now.

【116】

Jiang Tian Sheng glanced at Ji Ge, puzzled, and asked, 'Can Lian Haolong actively cause you trouble? For those few streets in West District, he doesn't need to do that, does he?'

【118】

Ji Ge immediately fell silent; he also had his difficulties—he had partnered with East Prosperity's 'smiling tiger' to open a big bar in West District, letting them distribute goods.

【120】

He pretended ignorance while understanding everything; as long as he got enough benefits, he'd do it—when asked, he'd say he didn't know, and his evasive talk showed he was a pro at it.

Translate: "He acted clueless while understanding everything, just needing enough profit; when asked, he'd say he didn't know, and his evasive talk made him a pro."

【123】

This affected the interests of the Loyalty Word Pile's Lian Haolong; they'd surely give him a lesson.

【125】

He couldn't say this at the big meeting; if he did, Big Fly wouldn't let him off—he has a grudge against Big Fly.

【128】

Translate: "He could fool himself, but not others; even fools know the Smiling Tiger wouldn't partner with him just because he's ugly!"

Jiang Tian Sheng didn't pursue it further—after all, he's an elder of Hong Xing—so this time he let him save face.

【130】

Being so close, how could he not know what Ji Ge was up to?

【132】

If Ji Ge dared to personally get involved in the goods business, he would have exploded long ago; today he wouldn't be speaking to him so calmly.

【134】

This idiot always thinks he's the only smart one, everyone else is stupid, relying on his age and experience, he often acts in an old-fashioned, overbearing way.

After that, give him a bit of bitterness to eat; this matter will be left to A Xin to handle—only he has the discretion, knowing how much to control the matter.

Jiang Tian Sheng really knows how to judge people!

Li Xin can't do anything else, but for this he's professionally suited; if he handles this matter, Ji Ge will definitely be lying on the table!

Whether Ji Ge can get up depends on what special skill Li Xin uses!

If it were given to someone else to handle, Ji Ge wouldn't be lying prone; he might just have to lie down!
