Chapter 54 Overt Praise with Hidden Criticism
"Sorry, I'm late."

Brother Ji immediately laughed and said, "No, no, we just arrived."

With a disdainful look, Liang Kun walked towards his seat, saying, "My neck is getting stiff from waiting."

Jiang Tiansheng pretended not to hear. After everyone sat down, Jiang Tiansheng looked at Dinosaur and said, "Ah Long, those bars in Tuen Mun are doing quite well. Are there any police officers on duty there?"

“No, Mr. Jiang, come over for a couple of drinks sometime,” said the Tuen Mun boss, Dinosaur.

Jiang Tiansheng looked at Uncle Xing and said, "Uncle Xing, I heard your son is studying law at university?"

“Yes!” Uncle Xing replied.

Jiang Tiansheng said with a smile, "Our company needs someone, so we'll ask him to come and help out!"

Chen Dayu looked at Uncle Xing and asked, "Uncle Xing, is your son one of our own?"

"No!" Uncle Xing said with a smile.

"Da Yu, don't come anymore. You're always trying to get people to join!"

"Hahahaha!"

After everyone finished their discussion, the meeting officially began.

Chen Yaosu said in a solemn voice: "Last month, some of our brothers went to Macau on business, and some were killed and some were injured."

Boss B immediately spoke up for Chan Ho-nam and his group, saying, "Mr. Chiang, I feel I must explain this matter..."

"But when someone's down on their luck, nothing you say matters. If you keep muttering to yourself, are you afraid people will hear you?" Liang Kun's lazy and slightly hoarse voice rang out.

Boss B glared and continued, "Mr. Jiang, I believe this matter was framed..."

“If this matter were handled by Ah Jun, Hung Hing wouldn’t lose face! What else are you saying?” Handsome Kun interrupted Boss B again.

Many leaders of Hung Hing share the same view: they all come from the same gang, and Chan Ho-nam, who is strongly promoted by Boss B, is really not as good as Chan Ka-Chun.

Look how beautifully they did it.

"Ah Kun, don't be so arrogant!" Boss B roared angrily.

Ugly Kun pointed at Boss B and said in a dramatic tone, "Let me tell you, when you're in this business, you have to admit your mistakes and stand up straight when you get beaten! Boss B, you have no taste!"

“Sha Qiang is your man, and Liang Zai Jun is your brother, of course you’re going to speak up for them!” Bao Pi, the person involved, immediately stood up and walked up to Liang Kun and angrily rebuked him.

Liang Kun looked Bao Pi up and down and said, "Since when did it become your turn to speak?"

"In front of Lord Guan, there is no distinction between elder and younger!" Bao Pi roared.

Upon hearing this, Liang Kun opened his eyes, stood up, and said, "Yes, but we must distinguish between superiors and inferiors!"

After saying that, he slapped Baopi across the face!
Upon seeing this, Da Tian Er quickly grabbed Bao Pi, who was about to pounce on him.

Jiang Tiansheng couldn't stand it anymore: "Ah B!"

"Drag him out!" Boss B shouted at Da Tian Er.

Da Tian Er pushed the foreskin out the door, and Liang Kun looked at Boss B and said, "You're not acting like a boss, and you're not acting like a henchman. You have no idea what you're up to, Boss B!"

"Have you had enough of arguing?" Jiang Tiansheng said sternly.

Laughing, "Alright, we're all in the same boat. I'm just teaching my little brother a lesson on behalf of Ah B."

"Ah Kun, are you really going to start classifying people?"

Jiang Tiansheng looked at Liang Kun with a forced smile.

Young Kun retorted in surprise, "Brother Sheng, Hung Hing is an organization that values ​​hierarchy. Who doesn't want to be the boss?"

"Our underlings are working so hard, shouldn't we reward them for their contributions? No matter how high your status or what your identity is, you have to take responsibility for your mistakes and be rewarded for your merits!" Liang Kun's meaning was clear: he was accusing Jiang Tiansheng and Boss B of being unfair.

Hearing Liang Kun's words, Jiang Tiansheng lit a cigar and then said, "I think I know this very well without you having to remind me."

"Next, I'd like to mention a few things!"

"I have to take some responsibility for the failure of Ah Nan and his men's trip to Macau. I underestimated Fat Dog's strength, so we only sent five people."

“Anan, you guys are also commendable for your courage.”

"Let's not bring this up again. I'll find a way to resolve it when the time is right, and let's all look forward together."

In short, he took the blame for the Causeway Bay gang and Chan Ho-nam.

Upon hearing this, both Boss B and Chan Ho-nam looked up with gratitude on their faces.

As for the leaders of the other branches, there's not much to say. After all, the head of the branch said so, which is equivalent to an ancient emperor issuing an edict of self-reproach.

After a pause, Jiang Tiansheng continued:
"The second thing is about the establishment of the Causeway Bay branch last month. Ah Jun and Ah Nan are both strong competitors."

“Now that a month has passed, Ah Jun has chosen to go it alone and leave the Causeway Bay branch. So, the red stick of Causeway Bay will fall on Ah Nan.”

Upon hearing this, the entire Zhongyi Hall seemed to erupt in chaos. Jiang Tiansheng was clearly trying to promote Chen Haonan and win over the hearts of the people!

But this stick was placed at the worst possible time, since Chen Haonan and his men had failed to accomplish anything and caused Hung Hing to lose face.

"Quiet!" Jiang Tiansheng looked around, taking in everyone's expressions, and said solemnly.

That's right, he's determined to promote her.

If you give a down-on-his-luck beggar a bite to eat, he will fight tooth and nail to climb back up.

But if someone has no worries about food and clothing, even if you give them the most delicious food, they won't care.

As expected, Chan Ho-nam looked at Chiang Tin-sang with bloodshot eyes and trembling lips, unable to utter a word for a moment.

Fat Lai spoke up, arguing vehemently: "Mr. Chiang, Chen Haonan has been so incompetent, and you still want to promote him to a high rank? What about Handsome Jun? This is unfair of you. What will the underlings think?"

Who will work for Hung Hing in the future? Can't you just promote whomever you want? What's the point of working so hard?

I disagree with this!

The FIT executives started arguing.

Jiang Tiansheng knew that everyone would have something to say, so he smiled slightly and said, "I know you are all very dissatisfied, but please let me finish what I have to say first."

"Think about it, everyone. If Ah Nan and his gang really manage to handle things in Macau, that would be a huge contribution to the triad. Wouldn't I give him a leadership position? How could he possibly remain a Red Pole?"

"The matter in Haojiang is already beyond the capabilities of Anan and his group."

Jiang Tiansheng's words were impeccable; one cannot sit firmly in the position of leader of Hung Hing without considerable skill.

Upon hearing this, the few FIT executives who had expressed their opinions fell silent, acknowledging that this was indeed the truth.

Jiang Tiansheng continued, "The establishment of the Red Pole in Causeway Bay was something we discussed last month. At that time, it was Chen Haonan who made a contribution to the triad by taking down Big Circle Fortune, so we suggested that he become a Red Pole! Let's not forget that."

"Hung Hing has stabilized now. We don't lack thugs. Each branch is well-staffed. What kind of underlings do we need now?"

"Loyal and obedient, not traitors or ingrates!"

"I believe that talent needs to be cultivated. In the future, we need to cultivate those who are loyal to us and can stay put!"

"Chan Ho-nam, congratulations! You've been a member of Hung Hing for so long and your skills are quite impressive. I'm promoting you to Red Pole so that you can continue to strive for excellence!"

Jiang Tiansheng's words were both a warning and a heartfelt statement.

His speaking skills are exceptionally high!
