Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

Chapter 37 Standing on your own
Big Boss B smiled and looked at Chen Jiajun; this was his strategy.

Since you, Chen Jiajun, have gotten him out of trouble, fine, I'll just take back those places on Lockhart Road and hand them over to the thugs!
Weaken your strength!

But this suited Chen Jiajun's wishes perfectly. Chen Jiajun said meaningfully, "Since you say so, Brother B, then these bars will be handed over to Da Zai Guan."

"Alright, let's all have a drink to celebrate Da Zai's release from prison!" Boss B, having succeeded in his scheme, put his arm around Da Zai and raised his glass.

"cheers!"

After everyone finished their drinks, they all took their seats.

Chen Jiajun did not sit down, but stood there and said, "Brother B, since so many brothers are here, and this is a rare opportunity, there are some things that need to be clarified."

"Go ahead and speak," Boss B said, narrowing his eyes.

Chen Jiajun spoke directly: "Brother B, a few years ago, Good Fighter took the blame for you. You said that when he got out, you would give him a Red Pole (a symbol of goodwill). Do you remember that?"

Almost as soon as Chen Jiajun finished speaking, Boss B's face visibly darkened. He said, "I did say that, but Da Zai has only just come out and is not familiar with anything. I want to wait until he is familiar with things for a while before officially assigning him a position."

Originally, Boss B wanted to use his verbal skills to persuade Good Fighter to back down when they were face to face alone.

Unexpectedly, Chen Jiajun brought up this topic in front of everyone!
"familiar?"

Chen Jiajun shook his head and said in a deep voice, "How long will it take to get familiar with it? A week, a month, or longer?"
"This thug risked his life for you, took the blame for you, and sacrificed the most precious years of his life. And this is the explanation you, Boss B, give him? We underlings won't accept this."

"You brat Jun! You dare say that again if you dare!"

Shanji slammed his fist on the table and stood up, pointing at Chen Jiajun and cursing loudly.

"Oh!"

"Sit down! You have no right to speak here!" Chen Jiajun slammed his wine glass down and shouted angrily at the pheasant.

The old man stood up and said, "You son of a bitch, calling me Big Brother Jun the Rascal? You little chick, wasn't that slap enough of a lesson for you?"

"Crash!"

All two hundred young demon slaves slammed their fists on the table and stood up, pointing at the pheasant and cursing loudly:

"Who do you think you are?"

Kneel down! Or I'll kill you today!

As for the other brothers in the Causeway Bay branch, very few of them were able to stand up and confront these young demon slaves.

Chicken was so intimidated that he couldn't speak, but facing Old Evil, this muscular tank, he picked up a bottle and wanted to charge at him, which showed he had guts.

"Snapped!"

Without a second thought, Chan Ho-nam stood up, slapped Chicken across the face, and stood in front of Chan Ka-Chun, demanding, "What do you want to do! Are you trying to cause internal strife?"

"Enough! Today's main character is the thugs, not you guys acting like actors!" Boss B roared. "Sit down, all of you! Let me say a few words."

Bao Pi pulled Chicken's arm, and Chicken sat down. Chen Haonan also sat down, and Chen Jiajun sat down last.

A group of young demon slaves sat down in unison.

Boss B poured himself a full glass of wine and said in a deep voice, "I know some brothers are not convinced. Da Zai, Ah Jun, Ah Nan, each of them is qualified to stand up for themselves."

“All three of you are my children. When you’re out in the world, everyone wants to make a name for themselves.”

Who doesn't want to be the boss?

"But being the eldest brother is difficult; I can't give up any of them."

Good Fighter suddenly spoke up, raising his cup and saying, "Brother B, I voluntarily withdraw from the competition."

"What?" Everyone looked at Good Boy in disbelief.

Is he out of his mind?
If we're talking about who's qualified to stand up for themselves, of these three, only Good Fighter is truly qualified.

Both morally and logically, Boss B should assign the good thugs to the position of Red Pole!

In other gangs, anyone who has served time in jail for the gang will inevitably become a leader upon release, living a life of luxury.
“Brother B, you’re right. I’ve been inside for several years and I’m not familiar with the current situation.” Since Boss B isn’t going to give him any support, then he might as well not have that support.

Chen Jiajun just explained it very clearly to him: the most important thing is to acquire those venues on Lockhart Road.

"Beat him up!" Boss B stood up, his eyes red, and said, "Are you sure?"

Good Boy said earnestly, "I don't want to make things difficult for you, Brother B."

"Good, good brother!"

Boss B patted him heavily on the shoulder, then looked at Chen Jiajun and called him by his name: "Chen Jiajun, since the thugs have said so, what else do you have to complain about?" "No, Boss B." Chen Jiajun picked up his red wine.

Boss B pressed on, saying, "Since the gang on Lockhart Road has been handed over to the thugs, you will leave Lockhart Road with your men tomorrow."

After pouring the wine, Chen Jiajun stood up and slowly said:
"can."

"But Brother B, I'll call you Brother B one last time. Since you're willing to swallow your pride, what can we, your underlings, say?"

"I don't blame you for not supporting my stance."

"If you want to support Anan, I won't object."

"Therefore, today I, Chen Jiajun, am withdrawing from the Causeway Bay branch and starting my own business!"

In an instant, the Causeway Bay Five Tigers, the young demon slaves, and all the brothers from Causeway Bay stood up, watching this scene in shock.

This is a complete break from all pretense, a move to start their own business!

However, starting your own business doesn't mean switching allegiances; it just means not following the big boss B anymore and opening your own establishment.

Boss B's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty, his chest heaving.

He understood very well that Causeway Bay was currently the most powerful branch of Hung Hing, and now that Chan Ka Chun was leading his men away from the Causeway Bay branch, it meant that the strength of his Causeway Bay branch would regress several steps.

Upon hearing this, Boss B also sensed something was wrong and quickly said, "Jun, it's not that the company is forcing you, it just wants to train you. Don't misunderstand."

Chen Jiajun shook his head and sneered, "Big B! You don't have to be so hypocritical!"

"You're the one who just taught me this: if you're going to back out, you should back out completely!"

"Back then, I gave you a red envelope and became your disciple, but all the credit I've earned over the years has been returned to you."

"I don't owe you anything!"

"Since you're going to stop me from taking the position, I'll find my own way."

At this point, Chen Jiajun raised his glass to Boss B and said, "After we finish this drink, we'll still be friends."

There are no friends in the martial arts world.

A江湖人 (jianghu person, a person from the martial arts world) tells you, "If you want to be friends with someone, you have to be careful."

Big Brother B laughed and said, "Ah Jun, you've grown wings, haven't you? Since you've chosen your path, I won't stop you from making a fortune."

"However, there is something I want to tell you."

"When you're out in the game, you need both ability and connections."

The meaning is simple: without Jiang Tiansheng's support, you are nothing.

Chen Jiajun smashed his wine glass on the ground and sneered:
"You chose your idol!"

background?

In the face of overwhelming power, it's nothing but a fart!
"go!"

Having vented his anger, Chen Jiajun turned and left, followed quickly by a group of young demon slaves.

"Wait!" Just then, Good Fighter stood up and shouted.

The tough guy stepped up to Chen Jiajun and said, "Jun, I'm very grateful to you for getting me out of here. How much did you pay this time?"

"Not many," Chen Jiajun shook his head.

The troublemaker pressed on, "How much exactly did it cost?"

“There are 150 in total, including front and back checkpoints,” Chen Jiajun said softly.

The tough guy turned to Boss B and said, "Brother B, could you lend me 150 million? I don't want to owe anyone too much."

Boss B was somewhat surprised. He was very pleased, especially to see that the good thug that Chen Jiajun had worked so hard to rescue had resolutely stood on his side. He felt a great sense of relief!
He flashed a victor's smile, pulled out his checkbook, and said, "It's only 1.5 million. As the eldest brother, I'll pay it for you. This is money I should be paying. Don't call it a loan; that's too formal."

Taking the check and placing it in Chen Jiajun's hand, Hao Dazai said earnestly, "Jun, since you're leaving Causeway Bay, I don't want to owe you this favor anymore. We're even now!"

Chen Jiajun pretended to have a gloomy face, knowing that Hao Dazai was making money for him.

"Let's go!" He stared at the good-for-nothing for a while before taking the check and leaving the Dragon Phoenix Restaurant without looking back.
