Hong Kong Comprehensive: The Rise of the King

Sheng Jiale looked at it for a moment and then looked away.

"Mr. Sheng, you are here to send it."

Huo Jingliang chuckled, then extended his hand to his daughter beside him and introduced, "This is my daughter, Xixian."

"Hello, Miss Huo."

Sheng Jiale smiled and shook hands with Huo Xixian.

"Mr. Sheng, just call me Xixian. Miss Huo is too naive." Huo Xixian also smiled in return.

"Okay, Xixian, don't call me Mr. Sheng. We are about the same age, so you call me old."

Sheng Jiale said slowly.

Huo Jingliang saw the two of them getting along happily with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

A few days later.

A luxury car drove to the entrance of Qiangsheng Entertainment City with two business vans.

The car door opened and Tommy got out of the driver's seat. He ran to the back seat and opened the door.

"Brother Ksitigarbha, be careful."

Tommy held the car door with one hand and blocked the car frame with the other, reminding him.

Ji Zang gave a faint hum, and after stepping out of the luxury car, he looked at the Qiangsheng Entertainment City, which was just around the corner.

"The decoration is quite impressive."

Jizo praised.

This was his first time coming to Qiangsheng Entertainment City. He had only heard of such a place before, but he had never been here to play.

"Brother Ksitigarbha, can I go inside and inform you?" Tommy asked.

"No need to bother."

Ji Zang waved his hand, glanced at the younger brothers who got off the other two business vans, and said, "Since I'm here, I just go straight up to see Sheng Jiale, the chairman of Qiangsheng Group."

"Yes."

Tommy said nothing more.

"Let's go and see who this Sheng Jiale is."

Ksitigarbha said hello and led a group of younger brothers into Qiangsheng Entertainment City.

When we came to the lobby, the receptionist saw such a group of fierce people appearing. He suddenly became nervous and took the walkie-talkie in his hand.

"Don't be afraid, we are not here to cause trouble."

Ksitigarbha smiled at the lady at the front desk and said kindly.

With this look, Ksitigarbha actually looks quite handsome.

The lady at the front desk calmed down and asked, "Then what are you here for?"

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Jizo and his group are not here to eat, drink or have fun.

"I'm going to find someone and call your manager over."

Jizo put his right hand on the marble tabletop at the front desk and tapped the metal prosthesis, making a crisp sound.

His prosthetic limbs are very flexible and cost a lot of money to customize. They can complete most of the finger movements.

"Okay, okay, please wait."

The lady at the front desk was so shocked by the prosthetic leg that she stuttered a bit.

Then she turned on the intercom and said, "Brother Tony, come to the lobby, someone is looking for you."

"who?"

asked Tony, who also held the position of manager of Qiangsheng Entertainment City.

"I don't know them either. There are quite a few of them. The leader looks a little scary. Come on." The receptionist said.

Hearing this, Tony frowned, "You stabilize them first, I'll be there right away."

"Okay Brother Tony."

The lady at the front desk put down the walkie-talkie and turned to Jizo and said, "Sir, our manager will be here soon. Please wait a moment."

Jizo chuckled, "It's okay, I'm very patient."

After saying that, Jizo took Tommy and others to the rest area in the hall and sat down on the sofa.

The remaining brothers stood behind Jizo, all with their hands behind their backs and standing straight.

This scene attracted the attention of the other guests in the hall, and they all cast curious glances here.

"Miss, please give me a cup of coffee, thank you."

Jizo raised his finger and said to the receptionist.

The lady at the front desk didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly poured a cup of coffee and brought it over, "Sir, your coffee."

"it is good."

When Jizo took the coffee, he grabbed the front desk lady's hand.

The latter was so frightened that he trembled.

"Stop! If you dare to cause trouble here, I think you are tired of living."

At this time, Tony rushed over, with two teams of security personnel from the Qiangsheng Group behind him.

These people were uniformly dressed in black suits, with headsets and ASP sticks hanging on their waists, and they had a murderous look on their faces.

When Jizo heard Tony shouting, he shrugged indifferently and said with a smile: "Why are you so serious? My hands are just slippery."

Judging from his appearance, he didn't take Tony and the others seriously at all.

"Are you okay?" Tony asked the lady at the front desk.

The front desk lady shook her head, pointed at Jizo, and said, "Brother Tony, he is the person who is looking for you."

"Okay, I understand, go and do your work."

Tony patted the front desk lady on the back.

After finishing speaking, Tony looked at Jizo and said with a cold voice, "No one can cause trouble here. Give me a reason not to throw you out."

Ji Zang grinned and said, "I want to see Sheng Jiale, the chairman of your group. I have something important to talk to him about."

"You want to see the boss?"

Tony frowned, his eyes fell on Jizo, and he looked him up and down.

The high-end custom-made suit and watch are also top-quality goods, worth at least millions. The metal prosthetic limb on the right hand is extremely exquisite, like a work of art, and is also worth a lot of money.

Coupled with Jizo's calm and calm temperament from beginning to end, Tony had no choice to ignore him directly.

"What are you doing with your boss?" Tony asked.

"I think I made it very clear. I have something important to talk to your boss about. If you don't have the power to make the decision, I think it's better for you to inform him first."

Jizo took a sip of coffee and said calmly.

Tony couldn't figure out the details of Ksitigarbha, but it was true as Ksitigarbha said, if he really came to Sheng Jiale for something important, he really couldn't just refuse.

"You'd better really have something important to do. The boss hates other people playing tricks on him. The consequences of angering the boss are serious."

After Tony finished speaking, he ordered the security personnel behind him, "You two, keep an eye on them. If they cause trouble, arrest them immediately."

He immediately planned to go to the Sheng Jiale office to report.

"Wait a minute."

Jizo stopped Tony.

"Is there anything else?" Tony looked impatient, and Ksitigarbha's indifferent attitude made him a little angry.

"Don't forget to tell your boss that my name is Jizo."

Ksitigarbha said.

Tony hummed and walked into the elevator.

After the elevator door closed, Tony muttered, "Ksitigarbha? What a bullshit name. Do you really think you are a Bodhisattva?"

He has never met Ksitigarbha, nor has he heard of Ksitigarbha. After all, Ksitigarbha started his career as a No. 4 boy and has nothing to do with Qiangsheng Group's business.

Under the constraints of Sheng Jiale, no one in the Qiangsheng Group can have anything to do with No. 4.

Arriving at the door of Sheng Jiale's office, Tony curled his fingers and knocked on the door.

"Come in." Sheng Jiale's voice came from inside.

Tony then opened the door and walked in.

"Tony, what's going on?"

Sheng Jiale sat on the boss's chair and asked casually.

There was a classical novel in front of him, and all his attention was focused on it.

"Boss, there is a guy named Ji Zang who is clamoring to see you and says he has something important to discuss with you. I think he seems to have a good background."

Tony said slowly.

"Who? Ksitigarbha?"

Sheng Jiale raised his head, and the first thought in his mind was Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in Buddhism, but then he realized that this was Hong Kong Island, and Ksitigarbha was probably just a nickname.

Sheng Jiale searched his memory, and after a few seconds he remembered who Ksitigarbha was, the villain in the movie "Sweeping Traffic".

"Isn't this guy in the business of No. 4? What does he want from me?"

Sheng Jiale was confused.

Then he told Tony: "I understand, please come up and let me see him."

Ksitigarbha is very powerful and ruthless, and will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.

Sheng Jiale was very interested in the important things Ksitigarbha said. Of course, if Ksitigarbha came to talk to him about the business of No. 4, he would not hesitate and let Luo Tianhong throw Ksitigarbha out.

"Good boss."

Tony agreed, left the office, took the elevator to the entertainment city lobby.

"So, what does your boss say?"

Jizo was leaning on the sofa, holding coffee in one hand, looking as comfortable as if he were in his own living room.

"The boss asked you to come up."

Tony said in a deep voice. Jizo's lips curled up, he was very satisfied with the result, "I told you a long time ago that your boss will meet me."

Seeing Ksitigarbha's expression of wanting to be beaten, Tony gritted his teeth, but in order not to delay Sheng Jiale's affairs, he refrained from taking action.

"let's go."

Jizo stood up and walked towards the elevator with Tommy and others.

Seeing this scene, Tommy ran over and blocked the elevator door with his hand.

"Any advice?"

Tony stared at the group of boys behind Jizo and said, "You can go up, but they can't."

"Fuck, you can't do it even if you say no, who do you think you are?"

Upon hearing his words, Tommy immediately shouted.

"Tommy."

Jizo glanced at Tommy, who instantly became quiet.

Ksitigarbha then continued: "You wait here, I will go up myself."

"But Brother Ksitigarbha, what if they have bad intentions?" Tommy said anxiously.

Ksitigarbha waved his hand, "I believe Sheng Jiale still has some tolerance. Besides, this is their territory. If they really want to attack me, it's useless for you to be here."

Ji Zang had long noticed the large number of security personnel in the entertainment city hall. Although those people were standing far away and not approaching, their eyes were fixed on them.

"Please, the boss is waiting for you above."

After Tony finished speaking, he took out his ID card and swiped it on the elevator sensor.

The top floor, where the Sheng Jiale offices are located, can only be reached this way.

If there wasn't such a setting, I'm afraid any cat or dog would be able to find Sheng Jiale, which would annoy him to death.

The elevator door closed slowly, then vibrated slightly and quickly rose upwards.

Jizo stared at the floor display, watching the rapidly jumping floor numbers, until the final ding sounded and the elevator stopped.

The elevator door slowly opened and Jizo walked out.

He was in an extremely long corridor, and not far away stood a young man who was not tall but strong and had an unruly expression.

The streak of blue hair on its head is very eye-catching.

"Ksitigarbha?"

Luo Tianhong walked over and his scrutinizing eyes fell on Jizo.

"I'm here to see Sheng Jiale."

Jizo nodded and said.

"It's okay to meet the boss, but you need to search yourself first." Luo Tianhong said bluntly.

Ji Zang glanced at Luo Tianhong's expression and suppressed all the words he wanted to say.

Unlike Tony, Luo Tianhong was very strict in everything he did and gave no room for maneuver.

Ksitigarbha knew countless people, and he could see that Luo Tianhong was a single-minded person, so he didn't even say any unnecessary words and obediently raised his arms.

Luo Tianhong touched him to make sure there were no hidden weapons, and then led him to Sheng Jiale's office.

dong dong dong.

Luo Tianhong knocked on the door.

"Come in." Sheng Jiale's calm voice came out.

Luo Tianhong then opened the door and walked into the office with Ji Zang.

"Boss, we've brought the man."

"Thank you for your hard work Tianhong, please go out first."

Sheng Jiale said.

"Okay, boss, if there's anything wrong, call me."

After Luo Tianhong finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the office, gently closing the door.

Click, the lock core is stuck in the tenon groove.

Hearing this voice, Jizo suddenly came back to his senses.

As soon as he entered the office, he was stunned.

The oversized office is more spacious than an entire suite in an average home. It has a row of huge floor-to-ceiling windows. Through the glass curtain wall, you can clearly see the city scenery and the endless stream of pedestrians below.

These surprised Jizo, but not enough to make him stunned.

What really fascinated him was Sheng Jiale.

Sheng Jiale stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and the sunlight coming from behind fell on his shoulders. From Ksitigarbha's perspective, Sheng Jiale was like a radiant divine mansion, and he could not even see Sheng Jiale's face clearly.

This scene deeply shocked Ksitigarbha.

Because originally, he would also have such a status and be in such a luxurious office, overlooking all the living beings below.

It's just that these futures disappeared many years ago when Ksitigarbha was executed in the Zhengxing main hall.

Now, he could only look at Sheng Jiale having all this, and he couldn't help but feel jealousy in his heart, which he couldn't suppress.

"Ksitigarbha, right? Sit down."

Sheng Jiale said with a smile.

Jizo pursed his lips and sat down on the sofa.

At the same time, he extinguished the fire of jealousy rising in his heart, and he was able to recognize the reality. Now he came to Sheng Jiale to seek cooperation. Jealousy would not help him achieve this goal, but would make him lose control emotionally.

"Hello, Mr. Sheng."

After seeing Sheng Jiale in person, Ksitigarbha naturally changed his name from Sheng Jiale to Mr. Sheng.

Everyone has a temperament. Having been in contact with big guys like Huo Jingliang and He Xin for a long time, and managing a group of ruthless people under his command, Sheng Jiale has long developed the temperament of a superior person.

When they first met, Ksitigarbha felt some pressure.

Sheng Jiale nodded and asked, "Tony said, you came to me to talk about something important? Now you can talk and listen."

"That's right, I'm very interested in Haojiang's peripheral sports betting industry."

Ksitigarbha explained his purpose, "I heard that Mr. Sheng has a close relationship with He Xin, the boss of Haojiang Casino, so I took the liberty to come here to disturb him, hoping to cooperate with Mr. Sheng."

"Sports betting industry?"

Hearing that Ksitigarbha had this purpose, Sheng Jiale instantly understood why he had come to find him.

In Haojiang, if you want to enter any business related to gambling, you have to ask He Xin, Mr. He, and Situ Yulian for their opinions.

If these three big guys don't nod, no one will be able to open a gambling business in Haojiang.

Sheng Jiale guessed that Ksitigarbha could not find a way to these three people, so he came to him to save the country.

"If it's just a peripheral sports betting business, I might consider it."

Sheng Jiale said thoughtfully.

He suddenly remembered that when he was in Haojiang, He Xin had asked him if he was interested in gambling. However, he had a lot of things on his hands at that time, so he did not answer He Xin directly, but said to go back and think about it.

Later, after a while, I forgot about it.

Now that he thought about it again, Sheng Jiale also had some thoughts on entering the game.

"Mr. Sheng, are you serious?"

Jizo asked in surprise.

Sheng Jiale thought for a moment, nodded and said, "It's not impossible to cooperate with you, but I have to hold 60% of the shares."

"No problem! As long as Mr. Sheng agrees to cooperate."

Ksitigarbha didn't even hesitate and agreed directly.

He knew very well that Shengjiale's 60% asking price was a conservative one. After all, without Shengjiale's help in Haojiang, he would have no access to the peripheral sports betting business.

This is not a question of how many shares you have, but whether you have them or not.

"You're quite happy." Sheng Jia smiled cheerfully.

"Being able to make friends with Mr. Sheng, 60% of the shares is nothing, it's worth a lot."

Jizo also smiled.

"Okay, since you say so, then I will make you my friend."

Sheng Jiale reached out to Ksitigarbha.

"We will have more opportunities to cooperate in the future." Ksitigarbha and Sheng Jiale shook hands.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Mr. Sheng, when are you going to Haojiang for an on-the-spot investigation?" Ksitigarbha asked.

Sheng Jiale thought for a moment and replied: "Since we are doing business, of course the sooner the better. Let's do this. If it is convenient for you tomorrow, we will take a boat to Haojiang."

"No problem, I'm always available."

Ji Zang hurriedly agreed.

The next day, Kwun Tong Pier.

The pier was crowded with people, including the security personnel of Qiangsheng Group and Ksitigarbha's younger brother.

But comparing the two, the people on Ksitigarbha's side are obviously not of the same level, whether in terms of clothing or spirit.

Everyone in the Qiangsheng Group has a strong figure and piercing eyes.

On the other hand, many Ksitigarbha people are depressed, with huge dark circles under their eyes, and look like they are addicted to No. 4.

Woo attack!

A loud whistle sounded, and a luxury yacht slowly approached the dock.

"Mr. Sheng, please."

Ksitigarbha stretched out his hand to Sheng Jiale and said.

Sheng Jiale was not polite and stepped onto the gangplank of the yacht first and walked to the deck.

Behind him was Ksitigarbha, and then a large number of younger brothers from both sides.

After everyone boarded the yacht, the whistle sounded again and they drove towards Haojiang River. (End of chapter)
