Protagonist:
Lin Hao
After Jiang Tiansheng finished explaining the matter of sending Chen Haonan to Ao Dao to discuss the casino business, Da Ge B and Chen Haonan stood up and politely took their leave from Jiang Tiansheng.
Seeing this, Chen Yao also left with Da Ge B, after all there were still many details about the casino that needed to be properly explained to Chen Haonan, such as the situation of the cooperative party over there, some key points for negotiation, and all aspects that needed attention for the subsequent operation of the venue.
Lin Hao, however, did not leave with them, but instead said to everyone with a smile: "You guys go ahead, my stomach feels a bit uncomfortable, I'm going to the Wei Sheng Jian."
Having said that, he walked towards the inside of the Bie Shu.
After confirming the others had all walked far away, Lin Hao then unhurriedly circled back to the Yong Chi side; Jiang Tiansheng was still sitting there, as if he had long anticipated Lin Hao would return, still sitting quietly in his original position, as if waiting for Lin Hao.
Lin Hao slowly walked to the front of the table, sat down again, then frowned and said with a troubled look: "Mr. Jiang, look, that Yuen Long place is really too poor; wanting to develop a hall there feels quite difficult. And there are retired uncles from various societies rooted there for many years; they aren't so easy to move. I truly have no confidence in my heart, so I want to discuss it with you again."
Jiang Tiansheng heard Lin Hao's words, smiled faintly, unhurriedly picked up the cigar box on the table, opened it, took out a cigar and handed it to Lin Hao, then took one himself, lighting the cigar slowly while asking with a half-smile: "Then what do you think? Could it be you don't want to rise to the top anymore?"
Lin Hao hurriedly accepted the cigar, lit it as well, took a deep drag, and said with a determined tone: "Mr. Jiang, of course I want to rise to the top; as long as the society supports me, I'll definitely do it. What uncles or not uncles, they aren't our Hung Hing's uncles; if it's for the society's development, I'll do whatever needs to be done."
Lin Hao's words were actually deliberately spoken; he knew very clearly in his heart that Jiang Tiansheng had been Mo Pa in this Jianghu for so many years, always acted Shen Shen, and would never Yi Yi become enemies with all of Hong Kong's societies; he just wanted to probe Jiang Tiansheng's bottom, to see what the other party's attitude really was.
Sure enough, after hearing Lin Hao's words, Jiang Tiansheng lightly waved his hand and said with a smile: "A Hao, you must remember, us mixing in this Jianghu, in the end it's for making money. Whether it's fighting or using knives and guns, it's all to earn more money, so that later we can live good lives and enjoy life properly; so in doing things you must use your brain more. Those problems you mentioned, I'm also clear about in my heart. Those small society people, if you feel it's necessary, you can go move them a bit, but still must take negotiation as the main approach, try not to Jin Jue Jue, must leave them a way to live; after all, forcing people into a corner brings no benefit to us either. As for those Mi Wan Bu Ling who refuse to cooperate no matter what, when the time comes to wipe them out they must be wiped out, cannot be soft-hearted. As far as I know, the biggest Zu Zhang in that area should be He Chain Sheng's Deng Bo, right? You don't need to fear him, go ahead and do it boldly; our Hung Hing isn't afraid of those He Chain Sheng old things making wind and rain over there."
Lin Hao heard Jiang Tiansheng's words, and his heart instantly understood the other party's meaning, but regarding why Jiang Tiansheng would so strongly support his rise, his heart still had no bottom.
After all, people's hearts in this Jianghu are complex; who knows if at that time one would laboriously do all the work, only to end up making a wedding dress for someone else, letting someone else pick up the bargain? This matter couldn't be asked directly, so Lin Hao fell into deep thought for a moment, and his face also revealed a hint of Chi Chi expression.
What a Shen Ming person Jiang Tiansheng is; with one glance he saw through Lin Hao's thoughts, and said with a smile: "A Hao, are you curious why I support you?"
Lin Hao did not reply, only raised his eyes to look at Jiang Tiansheng, waiting for him to continue.
Jiang Tiansheng saw this and continued: "I've investigated you; the things you've done since rising to the top, I've all seen with my own eyes. You have no girlfriend, and unlike those other Jianghu mixers, you don't casually hit on women in nightclubs and Jiu Ba, and you don't gamble, and don't touch those drugs; every day you just steadily practice boxing; in our circle, you're practically like a good student. Of course, it's also possible you just rose to the top and haven't had time to learn bad yet; but no matter what, this is a very rare quality. Me, these past few years I've been pondering how to wash the society white; since we want to wash white, we must have proper, legal businesses. You also know, after 97 the situation will definitely change, so I thought we must contact the Bei Bian side, expand the business channels over there. And the Yuen Long place where you are is relatively close to Bei Bian; at that time we can plan together, slowly guide the society onto the white path; you understand my meaning, right?"
Lin Hao heard Jiang Tiansheng's speech, and his heart then Huan Ran Da Wu; so Jiang Tiansheng was playing this idea; it seems afterwards I must do things even more wholeheartedly, seize this opportunity well, and at the same time must be careful to Ti Fang, lest I be calculated against.
After hearing Jiang Tiansheng's explanation, Lin Hao's face immediately showed a determined and sincere expression, and he immediately declared: "Mr. Jiang, rest assured, I know what to do. The matters you instructed, I will definitely go all out to implement, absolutely will not let you and the society down."
That tone was resolute and decisive, as if he had already completely grasped Jiang Tiansheng's intent and made up his mind to do something big.
However, in Lin Hao's heart there was another scheme.
He believed at most half of Jiang Tiansheng's words.
Jiang Tiansheng saying he wants to wash white, this point Lin Hao knows is true; but Jiang Tiansheng saying he wants to bring himself along to wash white, in his heart Lin Hao has ten thousand disbeliefs.
In this Jianghu, hearts are separated by belly skin; Jiang Tiansheng as Hung Hing's Dragon Head, his thoughts are very deep; his actions certainly all start from his own interests; how could he so easily bring along a Little Brother who hasn't even fully Zhan Town to plan such an important thing as washing white together?
Maybe at that time oneself is just a Shi Yong chess piece, used up and then thrown aside; this kind of thing is too common in the Jianghu.
So although Lin Hao agreed well on the surface, in his heart he had already secretly decided: henceforth in conduct he must be even more Shen Shen; on one hand follow Jiang Tiansheng's meaning to try to expand territory and strengthen power; on the other hand also keep a constant watch, do more planning for himself; absolutely cannot be foolishly calculated against by others.
