Chapter 45

These losers, whatever little brains they have are all wasted on crooked tricks! With that brain of yours, you still think of ways to make money!

Li Xin leisurely listened to them cursing the street. Yeah, that's just gang daily life—either you curse others or they curse you; nobody expects anything good.

Parents come and go, keeping the old folks busy enough to choke; when there's nothing else, you still have to do something inappropriate—being parents to these bastards is already enough sin.

From time to time, they'd be let out for a bit of exercise. Don't say gang big brothers are all mighty— that's just because you haven't seen them when they're acting like grandsons.

Jiang Tian Sheng never tried to stop this farce; that definitely means he's the one directing it.

No matter how these people are, Li Xin doesn't care; you can't find anything on his bald head— throughout the Prosperity gang, nobody would provoke him for no reason.

If you don't provoke them, they'll still stir up trouble.

Sky Rainbow was even more bored, took out a cloth from his pocket, drew the eight-sided Han sword and slowly wiped it, wiping it very carefully— that sword was almost becoming his second life.

Li Xin observed everyone present; they were flushed red with argument, yet his gaze remained calm.

This is just the big guys fooling the suckers!

It's obvious that Big Brother B is the one being fooled; he hasn't even realized it himself.

Big Brother B, damn, looked smugly at Chen Haonan; the meaning is clear: look at Big Brother's connections— you don't need to speak, someone will help A Nan.

What a big idiot B!

Pretty Mama seems to be speaking up for Chen Haonan, but listening closely reveals she's actually undermining him.

Every step a pit, every two steps a barrier; every sentence is adding fuel to the fire.

Sympathetically glanced at Big Brother B— what stupid thing did he do? Let Jiang Tian Sheng screw him over like that!

Uncle Bo saw Li Xin bored, quietly passed him a bag of melon seeds.

Moreover, indeed, using your hand to pull out the melon seed kernels and toss them into your mouth makes watching this scene even more enjoyable.

The food is a bit dry, but after sipping tea, this little life is not bad— also a pleasure within pleasure.

They've been arguing for almost an hour, yet still no result.

At this moment, Chen Yao spoke: "I choose Grey Dog for North Point, and I will also relinquish the Central Leader position; as for who to choose, let everyone decide."

Li Xin stared at Jiang Tian Sheng in disbelief— what letter of allegiance did Big Fly send him? Could it make him hand over Central?

Everyone in the Prosperity gang knows Jiang Tian Sheng's main businesses are in Central; Chen Yao as Leader is just a puppet, with no autonomy.

Now he's handing over the Central Leader position; surely something big is about to happen.

Jiang Tian Sheng slapped the table, waited for everyone to quiet down, then said: "Since A Yao wants to step down, I respect his decision; now there are two Leader positions, everyone decide."

The venue was dead silent, the silence terrifying.

Uncle Hing broke the silence: "I also want to retire, I'm old and my energy can't keep up. Kowloon City Leader, I nominate Slant Eyes— what do you all think?"

Li Xin glanced at Sky Rainbow.

Sky Rainbow understood Big Brother's meaning, without hesitation spoke: "I support Slant Eyes becoming Kowloon City Leader; Uncle Hing has already designated him as successor. Speaking of Kowloon City Leader, there's only one candidate— definitely Slant Eyes."

After saying that, he put the sword away, folded the sword-wiping cloth neatly, and put it in his pocket.

Slant Eyes becoming Kowloon City Leader is a done deal; no fool will come out to offend people, especially since his brother is Han Bin.

The remaining two positions were quickly filled: Grey Dog took over as North Point Leader, Big Fly took over as Central Leader.

Big D didn't say a word the whole time, because none of this concerned him; he's now focused on making money and indifferent to other matters.

Big Brother B looked resentful, Chen Haonan's expression also very dejected. After running around thirteen times, he gained nothing, yet spent a lot of money— he couldn't even voice his bitterness.

Jiang Tian Sheng then offered another poisoned sweet date, and Chen Haonan took over the Ao Island gambling house of the gang.

Chen Haonan was quite happy; this shows the gang values him, Big Brother B's mood improved considerably— this is Mr. Jiang giving him face, giving A Nan an opportunity; next time he runs for Leader, it'll be much easier.

Li Xin glanced sympathetically at Big Brother B; Chen Haonan was taking some people to Ao Island— what henchmen does the Copper Gong Bay hall still have?

No wonder in the movies, his little brothers don't want to avenge him— a Leader with hardly any close henchmen; if he doesn't die, who will?

After Chen Haonan left, besides Little Treasure, who else around Big Brother B could lay down their life for him?

Anyone with sense can see the Copper Gong Bay hall is finished. If Big Brother B isn't tactful, he's done too! Besides Chen Haonan, does he have any notable henchmen left?

No!

What is Copper Gong Bay? It's a prosperous area comparable to Point Sand Mouth. Here are stationed several top gangs of Gangdao; with no talent under them, it's hard to hold.

After the meeting.

Pretty Kun came up to Li Xin: "A Xin, my company officially opens tomorrow— you must come to give me support."

Li Xin asked in surprise: "You haven't already opened, have you?"

Pretty Kun: "Damn, that was just the license coming down; I've never held an opening ceremony. But I consulted a master— tomorrow is an auspicious day, the opening will surely prosper."

Gangdao is extremely superstitious about feng shui— as the saying goes, "nothing is too big or small": from having kids and marriages to big construction investments, everything requires a feng shui master's inspection.

Gangdao's most famous "feng shui showdown" is none other than the "sword and cannon battle" between the Bank of China Building and HSBC Bank.

It is said that Gangdao's "dragon vein" starts at the Kowloon Peninsula, passes through Victoria Harbour, reaches land and goes straight up Mount Tai Ping, then flows out to sea at Central, while HSBC Headquarters sits at the harbor mouth, the most "wealth‑gathering" direction, making it Gangdao's "treasure vault" location.

Therefore the HSBC Building also earned the top feng shui site selection.

HSBC Bank's performance has risen steadily all the way.

Later the Bank of China Building's three‑sided steel blades directly knocked HSBC Bank silly; frightened, they installed big cannons on the roof, but the cannons knew nothing about feng shui and were useless.

The Hong Kong government quickly dragged in Li Cucumber to stir things up, and only after he joined did the situation calm down.

"No problem, Kun Brother—I must give you support; tomorrow I'll also bring Sky Rainbow, and I'll definitely make the scene happen for you."

Li Xin bought one, got one free, and directly brought Sky Rainbow along.

Kun Brother treats him well; all the equipment of his film company is sponsored by Kun Brother.

This face must definitely be given; otherwise, nobody could save face.

On the drive to Jiang Tian Sheng's villa, Sky Rainbow curiously asked: "Big Brother, why are you acting so strange today? Your look at Big Brother B is off."

Li Xin hid nothing, telling Sky Rainbow his analysis and the conclusions he'd drawn.

Jian Guo interjected: "Boss, this gang ain't easy to mess with! Constant scheming and infighting, never a moment of peace— how can we unite and develop the gang like this?"

Li Xin chuckled, "Still developing and growing? If it doesn't fall apart, then the dragon head must be capable; the government and police also wouldn't let a single society dominate—otherwise, how would they profit?"
