Chapter 76: Chen Haonan: That Year I Stood Like an Underling Before Feng Ge!

Although the Shuangnan Circuit was not mainstream before, the locations of its two flagship theaters were indeed quite prosperous.

Among them, the Nanhua Xiyuan was located on Portland Street, which happened to be the venue for the premiere of *Guyai Zai*.

It was not far away, and Wu Feng's group of three vans arrived quickly.

Mixed in among a group of high-end sedans, they appeared particularly out of place.

Fortunately, Jing Kun was already used to it and couldn't be bothered to complain, nor did he care.

At this moment, he was wearing a flashy red suit, his face full of joy as he welcomed guests from all sides.

Of course, these were mainly Big Brothers from the Hongxing Society, though Big Brothers from other societies in Portland Street also came to join in the excitement; for a time, society scum were gathered in crowds.

Those who didn't know better would have thought a society negotiation was being held here.

Not far away, several emergency vehicles from the Mong Kok Police Station were parked there, looking ready for action.

Many of the police officers were regulars at the Dafuhao Sauna on Shanghai Street, and the one leading the team was Xu Jingguan, who had already risen to the rank of Chief Inspector; the two exchanged a look and nodded slightly to acknowledge each other.

"A B, I am very happy you could come!"

Wu Feng strode forward and happened to hear Jing Kun laughing and talking loudly with a short, stocky, bald man.

It was none other than Dalao B from the movie; at this time, he was only a Red Pole in Ciyunshan.

Of course, everyone knew he was Jiang Tiansheng's confidant!

Every time a general assembly was held, this guy would follow behind Jiang Tiansheng to enter, making him one of the top-tier figures in terms of strength among all the senior members of Hongxing.

"A Kun, you've really made a name for yourself now!"

Dalao B's voice was also very loud, and he said happily, "You're even making movies that can be shown on the circuit now!"

Both were fierce figures in the underworld who had come out of Ciyunshan, and their relationship at the moment was quite good.

As for why their relationship was so terrible in the movie, that was a true reflection of how one cannot help oneself once they enter the underworld.

As Dalao B, Jiang Tiansheng's absolute confidant, he certainly could not allow any Spokesperson to challenge Jiang Tiansheng's status and authority; this was also one of the foundations that allowed him to sit firmly as the Spokesperson of Causeway Bay.

As for Jing Kun, his influence had already reached that point, and because of the pill-selling business, he had no way to extricate himself, leaving him with only a path forward and no room to retreat.

Both were fierce figures in the underworld; verbal sparring didn't actually amount to much. What was truly fatal were the fundamental conflicts of interest, which were impossible to mitigate.

"Kun Ge, B Ge, what are you two chatting about?"

Wu Feng spoke with a smile: "Let me hear it too, so I can join in the fun!"

"Haha, Feng Zai, you were the closest, yet you arrived so late!"

Jing Kun rolled his eyes and said unhappily: "Give me a reason, otherwise you'll have to treat us today!"

"Alas, there's no help for it. Who told me to have so many legitimate companies under my command!"

Wu Feng put on a 'helpless' expression and said with a troubled look:

"Whenever there is anything that needs my attention, it is inevitable that there will be some delays in terms of time!"

"Damn it!"

Jing Kun's face turned green, and he waved his hand: "Fine, fine, fine, don't show off in front of me. Having a few companies under your command is nothing special; in the future, my companies will only be more numerous!"

"Then I wish you success as soon as possible!"

Wu Feng laughed and looked at Dalao B, who was standing to the side with an envious face, and asked: "B Ge, where have you been making money lately?"

"In that poor place of Ciyunshan, where would there be any way to make a fortune?"

Dalao B smiled bitterly and said gloomily: "I can only guard the ball courts there and eat cold leftovers!"

These words were truly not false modesty; they were the best reflection of his current situation.

Ciyunshan was a notoriously poor area in Hong Kong, yet it was densely populated, making it one of the sources of manpower for powerful societies in Hong Kong.

There were many fierce figures in the underworld who had fought their way out of Ciyunshan, but even more were Blue Lanterns lingering at the bottom of the society, struggling to get by from one meal to the next.

Looking at the high-spirited Wu Feng before him, and Jing Kun beside him, Dalao B felt very envious.

These two were the most prominent Hall Masters in Hongxing over the recent period.

Both were masters with money, power, and men; who would have thought their relationship would be this good?

Tsk!

Wu Feng didn't like hearing such nonsense from Dalao B. Although Ciyunshan was a bit poor, it had a large population; as long as it was managed properly, it still had great financial prospects.

If nothing else, in a Hong Kong entertainment novel he had read, there was the idea of establishing a chain of video parlors in the densely populated public housing estates of Hong Kong; making money really wasn't that difficult.

And there were so many young and strong scum; they could be organized to take on construction projects.

As far as Wu Feng knew, Hongxing still had quite a few channels and connections in this regard.

For starters, taking on a construction job that didn't require much technical skill, along with subsequent interior renovation work, would be very easy for Dalao B, who was Jiang Tiansheng's confidant.

At this time, Hong Kong was in the midst of a boom in old building renovations, and there really was no shortage of related work.

Even many Hall Master-level Big Brothers from large societies who had average strength and no sufficient profitable territory to support them were working as construction foremen on sites to make money to support their Underlings.

At the very least, one could find a way to revitalize the ball court economy under one's control.

The football atmosphere here in Hong Kong was quite good, heavily influenced by Great Britain.

Spending a little money to organize an amateur football tournament wouldn't be difficult, right?

As long as there was enough foot traffic, wouldn't the economy around the ball courts be completely revitalized?

It could only be said that Dalao B was a true brute of the underworld, the type whose brain wasn't sharp enough. No wonder Jiang Tiansheng focused on cultivating him as a confidant; such an Underling was obedient and easy to use.

Of course, he certainly wouldn't give away these ideas for free, nor did he want to make Jiang Tiansheng suspicious of anything.

He just smiled lightly without committing himself, and casually brushed it off with a few perfunctory words.

Dalao B, however, felt it was a good opportunity and shouted toward a group of society scum not far away: "Haonan, Haonan, come over here quickly!"

Immediately, Chen Haonan, still wearing a look of obvious callowness on his face, ran over hurriedly: "B Ge, is there something you need me for?"

Although he said that, his eyes subconsciously looked toward Wu Feng, who was smiling silently.

The two were about the same age, with Wu Feng being one year older than Chen Haonan.

Yet at this moment, the two men's statuses within the society were worlds apart.

Wu Feng was already a Hung Hing Sai Kung Hall Master famous throughout the Hong Kong underworld, and it was said that even the Hung Hing Dragon Head Jiang Tiansheng held him in high regard as a Big Brother.

As for Chen Haonan at this time, he was nothing more than a Four-Nine under Dalao B.

Dalao B had not yet become a Hall Master himself at this time, so Chen Haonan's status in Hung Hing was naturally even lower.

"Let me introduce you to a Big Brother of our Hung Hing; why aren't you calling him Feng Ge yet!"

Seeing that Chen Haonan was somewhat dazed and lacked his usual sharpness, Dalao B spoke up to remind him with a hint of annoyance.

Just from this point, the signs of this fellow grooming Chen Haonan as his successor were already beginning to show, even though his own Head Horse was Datou.

"Hello, Feng Ge!"

Chen Haonan spoke up to greet him respectfully, standing like a lackey and not daring to show the slightest bit of negligence.

"Not bad, not bad, very handsome; you're even qualified to be the lead actor in a movie!"

Wu Feng laughed heartily, giving Dalao B face by offering a few words of praise.
