Chapter 272

After the meeting ended, the banquet began, and everyone gathered with people they knew well, making it easy to chat and shoot the breeze.

Li Xin got off the stage and went straight to Bo Shu's table, without joining Jiang Tian Sheng and the others for the fun.

Drinking with those people is torture, so damn annoying—one slip and you fall into a pit, losing your hair!!

The big bald head of the blue whale is a lesson.

Just as he sat down, an unexpected person came to his side.

Li Xin stood up and asked, "Uncle Ge, are you looking for me for something?"

Ge Taizi nodded and said, "A Xin, come with me to the private room to chat."

Li Xin followed Ge Taizi to a private room, where Jiang Tian Sheng was already waiting inside.

This left Li Xin bewildered; the relationship between Prosperity and the Number Gang is complicated, with both cooperation and clashes.

Moreover, both sides claim to be the legitimate successor of Hongfa Mountain, neither yielding, and they have previously fought over this title.

Nowadays, the Number Gang doesn't really care about Hongfa Mountain; it's too fragmented, and no one can unify it!

No matter who gets the Mountain Chief position, nobody else will accept it.

Jiang Tian Sheng stood up, pulled out a seat for Ge Taizi, and said with a smile, "You take the main seat, and we'll keep you company."

After the three sat down, Ge Taizi said, "A Xin, you also know the situation of the Number Gang, so I won't say more."

"Our two groups, for the title of Hongfa Mountain, have often argued and fought; now I want to hand over the Mountain Chief position to you—what do you say?"

"No way!"

Li Xin waved his hands repeatedly, hastily refusing, "This isn't a joke, is it?"

What is his status in the Prosperity gang?

How can you separate the stove from the kang? This is just asking for trouble!

Jiang Tian Sheng explained with a smile, "A Xin, don't rush to refuse; this is a joint decision between me and Uncle Ge."

"This position suits you well; it's not something shameful, it won't bring you bad influence, and it can even raise your status."

"I definitely can't take this position; after all, I'm the Dragon Head of the Prosperity gang, and the old-timers of the Number Gang won't accept it."

"But you're different; Hongfa Mountain is just a name now, with no real authority."

"You get along well with the Number Gang's leaders, and Min Ge has an especially solid relationship with you—he also agrees to this decision."

"Once you take over as Mountain Chief, I will step down from my Incense Chief role, so it won't be difficult for you."

"From now on, in Gangdao, there will only be Hongfa Mountain, and that will be your domain, A Xin."

Ge Taizi also said, "A Xin, nobody else could hold this position; only you can take it over, and most of the Number Gang's old-timer leaders agree."

"Even Hao Long, Baoqiang, A Min have spoken up in support of you, Ma Wang and the others haven't objected, and any discordant voices are irrelevant—refusing to accept it won't help."

"If we weren't fully prepared, I and A Sheng wouldn't have brought this up, so don't keep refusing."

"This way, the Number Gang and Prosperity won't have any further friction over this; it's a win-win."

"I'm getting old and don't want to manage these things; handing over the Mountain Chief position to you puts my mind at ease."

After hearing their words, Li Xin's mind became a bit confused.

After organizing his thoughts, he said, "There's no need to do this, Uncle Ge—you can just stay seated; why give it up?"

"It's not a throne; being an empty title Mountain Chief wouldn't involve much work."

Ge Taizi shook his head, sighed, and said, "A Xin, the situation of the Number Gang is special; my words don't carry much weight—I'm just holding onto a name."

I've already decided to retire from the martial world; I heard Longjuanfeng and Dingye are retiring to Xi Gong for elder care, and I'll go there too.

From now on, I'll peacefully enjoy my retirement, no longer concerning myself with martial world affairs, and this Mountain Chief position will serve as my retirement fund!

Li Xin understood Ge Taizi's meaning—he was worried about not having a good end, seeking a place where he could peacefully retire.

He said, "Uncle Ge, if you put it that way, then I'll accept it—afterward, you can stay peacefully in Xi Gong."

"No one can disturb your tranquility; I can't guarantee that elsewhere, but in Xi Gong, my word still carries weight."

"Long Shu will be back in a couple of days, and you guys can get together for a game of mahjong; if you're free, you can also go to Film City for a stroll."

"These days, Min Ge basically stays at Film City, so you won't be lonely; if you have nothing to do, you can also go with Di Qiu and the others to play on the set."

This matter is blown up!

The Xi Gong retirement home has even become a trusted brand!

The Red Gate is a brotherhood; only with the majority's agreement can Li Xin take over the Mountain Chief position of Hongfa Mountain.

Since Ge Taizi has shown such sincere insistence, refusing again would be somewhat impolite!

Moreover, these old-timers really treat Xi Gong as a retirement home—even Ge Taizi wants to go over and join the fun.

For Li Xin, this has no downside; these old-timers are treasures, with deep martial world experience.

From now on, we'll send Fei Quan and the others to Xi Gong to gain some martial world experience.

After the three finished talking, those two went to the main table, and Li Xin went over to Bo Shu's side.

Seeing them chatting, Li Xin pulled out a chair, sat down, joined their group, and followed their train of thought.

Let's chat together!

While they were chatting, food and drinks arrived quickly, and everyone began toasting, drinking in a lively manner.

In the banquet hall, the place was filled with martial world Big Brothers, who shouted and swore nonstop, as if the entire martial world were under their control.

Some people had slightly flushed faces and glazed eyes, obviously having drunk quite a bit.

After a few disagreeable words, the Reasonable old-timers' Baoqiang suddenly stood up, pointing at the person opposite and hurling insults.

The person opposite didn't back down, retorting with a few sentences.

Their voices grew louder and louder, drawing sideways glances from those around.

"What are you even? Dare to act arrogant in front of me!" Baoqiang shouted angrily.

"Who do you think you are?"

Damn! One word piles up the Thus line: Leader, today being able to let you in is all giving you face, damn it.

The other side also did not back down.

The two argued more and more fiercely, and finally they actually started fighting.

The two fought inseparably, the people around all made way, found a good spot to watch the excitement; this is all normal in the martial world.

Li Xin saw it was Baoqiang, hurried over and pulled the two apart.

This is the Prosperity's main turf; Jiang Tian Sheng was drinking at the main table, so only he could act as mediator, cannot just ignore it.

Li Xin pulled the two apart, laughing and scolding: "What's wrong with you two? How old are you, damn it? Still fighting like kids?"

The two were still unwilling, but with Li Xin standing in between, they didn't actually fight, just exchanged a few insults.

Li Xin pulled Baoqiang over to his own table and pressed him into the chair.

He waved at the waiter and said: "Add a set of utensils."

Only then did he ask: "What's going on? How did they start fighting again?"

Baoqiang slammed the table, angrily shouting: "That loser is the Hongsheng seat's idiot; during this time, they've been causing trouble at Yellow Great Immortal, we've long wanted to deal with him."

I'm damn busy running a company, no time to deal with them; Hongsheng instead gets cocky, becoming even more arrogant.

Well then, I'll take the chance to beat him up; once I free my hands, if I don't give Hongsheng a tough lesson, I damn well won't be called Baoqiang.

That makes sense; with no grudge, they wouldn't fight in this setting.

Profit! It's always the fuse of martial world disputes; everyone wants to get more.
