Chapter 119: Brother Nan, are you avoiding me? (Please subscribe)

Returning to the Pork Trotter Rice shop, Chen Haonan was somewhat distracted.

"Brother Nan, you're back!"

A pretty girl dressed in a waitress uniform spoke up happily upon seeing Chen Haonan.

Ahem, this was Chen Haonan's new girlfriend, a pretty high school girl.

Being handsome really has its advantages!

This pretty student girl had actively pursued Chen Haonan when he was selling Pork Trotter Rice near her school.

Chen Haonan responded absent-mindedly and asked casually, "Where are Datian Er and the others?"

"They're all busy outside!"

The pretty student girl asked with concern, "Brother Nan, are you hot? Do you want a bottle of soda?"

Without waiting for Chen Haonan to reply, she took a bottle of soda, opened the cap, and handed it to him.

"Brother Nan, is something on your mind?"

After doing this, the pretty student girl asked cautiously, "Is it troublesome?"

"It's not a big problem!"

Chen Haonan gulped down half the bottle of soda and said with a perfunctory smile, "You go back to work first, it's no problem!"

Although the pretty student girl was a bit reluctant, she still obediently went outside to help.

After finishing the evening business, Datian Er, Shanjie, and the others finally had time to gather for a meal and chat to relax.

At this moment, everyone had their girlfriends with them, even the short and chubby Baopi was no exception.

The food on the table was quite good: braised pork trotters, pig lung soup, pig liver soup, and some cold mixed vegetables; for a group of low-level Underlings in a triad like them, this was already quite sumptuous.

Not to mention that the beer and soda were unlimited; in the past, how would they have dared to splurge like this?

At this time, Chen Haonan explained the reason why Dalao B had called him over, and the atmosphere at the table immediately became heated.

"An opportunity, this is our chance as brothers to get ahead!"

Shanjie slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "I've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time!"

"That's right, once B Ge successfully plants his flag in Causeway Bay, it will be time for us brothers to get ahead too!"

Datian Er downed half a bottle of beer, his eyes filled with excitement.

Seeing these two like this, Chen Haonan also felt invigorated, and a happy smile appeared on his face involuntarily; he looked high-spirited, as if a bright future lay just ahead.

Shanjie and Datian Er were both restless types; one yearned for the flashy world outside, while the other had decent combat ability and felt they should have a higher status and future in the organization.

As for Chen Haonan, he naturally had the ambition to climb higher.

Furthermore, Dalao B was genuinely good to him, treating him almost like an adopted son.

At this time, Chen Haonan placed great importance on brotherhood, so he naturally had the thought and desire to repay Dalao B.

Only the brothers Baopi and Chaopi looked hesitant, and the girlfriends of the group didn't say a word.

"Brother Nan, what about the Pork Trotter Rice shop?"

Baopi asked hesitantly: "Are we just going to close it down?"

The previously lively atmosphere suddenly went quiet!

Chen Haonan, Shanjie, and Datian Er looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

If they were asked to give up the Pork Trotter Rice shop just like that, they couldn't get past that hurdle in their hearts.

If they hadn't experienced days of having money to spend every day, it wouldn't have been a big problem for them to go back to how things were.

But now that they had experienced it, and were quite satisfied with this wealthy life, they were reluctant to give up the Pork Trotter Rice business just to follow Dalao B to plant a flag in Causeway Bay.

Even if they weren't smart, they knew that a stable, money-making business like the Pork Trotter Rice shop was hard to come by.

"Our shop's business is quite good, and I was even planning to open a second one recently, inviting friends and classmates I grew up with in the public housing estate to come and help!"

Baopi pushed up the glasses on his nose and said confidently, "I can be sure that the business of the second shop will definitely not be worse than this one!"

The so-called economic base determines the right to speak, and at this moment, Baopi's influence among the brothers was very heavy.

Being able to make money and spend it on the brothers—this was real ability!

Chaopi hesitated and said, "It's not that I'm saying B Ge lacks the strength to successfully plant a flag in Causeway Bay!"

"But what if things don't go smoothly? Wouldn't we brothers have to go back to the miserable days of the past? I really can't stand that!"

This...

Baopi's request and Chaopi's worries made Chen Haonan, Shanjie, and Datian Er fall into deep thought; they truly lacked the courage to burn their bridges.

"Then why not let Baopi and Chaopi continue running the shop!"

Shanjie rolled his eyes and made a suggestion: "We have to leave a way out; no one knows what the final result will be when we go to Causeway Bay to plant the flag!"

"That's right, who knows, maybe if the Pork Trotter Rice business grows, we could even become big Bosses ourselves!"

Datian Er chimed in: "Baopi and Chaopi don't need to take the risk; Shanjie, me, and Brother Nan can just follow B Ge!"

"That's a good idea!"

Chen Haonan also nodded in agreement: "It's decided then. If things go smoothly, we might even be able to have Baopi open a shop in Causeway Bay; if things don't go well, we'll at least have a stable place to eat!"

In fact, the brothers all had some misgivings in their hearts.

Regarding the supply of goods to the shop, although Dalao B had explained it very clearly, how could the brothers not have any thoughts about it? They just hadn't exposed them.

It was true that B Ge valued Chen Haonan, but once it involved real economic interests, it had to be divided clearly. For the brothers who still believed in brotherhood, this was somewhat hard to accept.

Otherwise, according to Chen Haonan's past temperament, he would definitely have closed the shop without hesitation.

Dalao B didn't mind that two of Chen Haonan's brothers were missing.

In fact, he didn't think much of Baopi, who had little combat power, or Chaopi, who didn't have any outstanding performance.

By the time the movie plot began, the situation was already vastly different.

Because of Dalao B's favoritism, all the veteran Four-Nines under him had become alienated. He had no choice but to bet everything on Chen Haonan's group; he truly had no other options.

This matter, no matter how you look at it, has a sense of burning bridges after crossing the river.

The most capable fighter among his underlings, Datou, went to Stanley Prison for further studies, the remaining veteran Four-Nines were all marginalized, and all the resources in the Causeway Bay territory were gathered into his own hands.

Chen Haonan and his group were easy to fool, and there was no risk in promoting them to higher positions.

Just looking at these methods, if anyone were to say Dalao B is a brute, then their brain must be filled with water.

Setting aside idle talk, Dalao B summoned several hundred fighters, which was almost the entirety of his manpower.

They boarded over twenty vans, brought their gear, and headed straight for Causeway Bay.

Such a formation was quite shocking, and the news had spread across most of the Hong Kong underworld while they were still on the road.

Hung Hing's Da B is bringing his underlings to plant their flag in Causeway Bay!

Once the motorcade reached the destination, Dalao B got out of the car, and Datou led several hundred underlings to sweep the area aggressively; whenever they encountered resistance, they would unleash a flurry of watermelon knives, and they soon occupied an entire street.

Datou's street-fighting prowess is truly no joke; he hacked his way through a street, and surprisingly, few could stand against him.

His strength at this moment is likely a notch stronger than that of Wu Feng's Red Pole, Zhang Yong; it is quite sharp.

Under his leadership and encouragement, the hundreds of Hung Hing fighters roared as they swept through street after street.

Chen Haonan, Shanjie, and Datian Er were just mingling among the group of fighters; although each of them was full of drive and wielded their blades bravely, their performance was far inferior to Datou's.

The strength of the three of them at this moment is clearly still a significant distance from their peak period!

Dalao B, on the other hand, was leisurely bringing up the rear; this way of planting a flag could not be any easier.

The gang warfare over in Causeway Bay attracted the attention of almost the entire Hong Kong underworld.

The fact that Hung Hing's B Ge suddenly moved to plant his flag did not cause too much surprise among other societies.

It was just unexpected that the strength of the Hung Hing fighters would be so great, as they were about to take over two streets in such a short time. This speed is simply outrageous.

The various first-rate society forces that had intentions of planting their flags in Causeway Bay could no longer sit still.

At Youjian Mahjong Parlor on Shanghai Street in Mong Kok, which is the third floor of the former Zhong's Mahjong Parlor, Wu Feng was conversing with Wo Shing Red Pole Guanzaisen.

Guanzaisen was, naturally, specifically summoned by Wu Feng, and the purpose was self-evident.

Without a Red Pole to lead the charge and boost morale, even if Lianhe Sheng Mong Kok Hall Master Long Gen had any ideas, he would be helpless and it would be of no use.

Of course, Wu Feng's reason for finding him was very strong: to discuss the issues regarding Youjian Mahjong Parlor.

"I say, Brother Sen, I haven't seen you come to Red Mansion to play for a long time!"

As soon as they met, Wu Feng couldn't help but tease: "Those who don't know might think you're hiding from me!"

"How is that possible?"

Although his thoughts had been guessed correctly, Guanzaisen certainly wouldn't admit it; that would be too embarrassing.

"Isn't it just that I have serious business to attend to?"

He was a bit guilty at first, but as he spoke, his confidence grew, as if that were truly the case.

In fact, Guanzaisen had indeed been quite busy recently.

How should one put it? Collaborating with Wu Feng several times had greatly broadened Guanzaisen's horizons for making money.

He was involved not only in the Premium A-Grade Goods business but also in the Pork Trotter Rice business.

Even for the A Better Tomorrow Arcade Machine, the game arcades in Guanzaisen's territory were among the first batch to stock them; it could be said that his imitation of Wu Feng was quite effective.

Of course, he also reaped rich rewards for doing so.

At the very least, from the New Year until now, Guanzaisen had never been short of money.

The reason he had been busy recently was still the business of raw pork scraps.

Guanzaisen and Jige had the same idea; they both wanted to import cheap raw pork scraps into the wet markets controlled by Wo Shing in hopes of gaining higher profits.

That is why one would say Guanzaisen is much more sensible, having greeted Wu Feng about it early on.

Wu Feng didn't mind either; in any case, the daily supply to Guanzaisen, or rather Wo Shing, was fixed, and they could do whatever they wanted as long as it didn't implicate him.

As it turned out, quite a few problems did arise, mainly involving interest disputes.

Even if the wet markets were controlled by Wo Shing, it didn't mean Wo Shing could truly cover the sky with one hand.

In short, Guanzaisen had handled quite a few such troublesome matters recently.

His underlings had certainly enjoyed a good show of power.

It was just that Guanzaisen couldn't be happy, as every time he dispatched underlings, he had to pay them.

Additionally, other suppliers had quietly contacted him, and their purpose was also quite clear.

This matter made him feel quite guilty, so naturally, he didn't dare to hang around Wu Feng often.
