Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 24: Blowing the Whistle

There are rules for doing business, and the rules are very simple: you can wear a long gown and a jacket, or you can wear a suit and tie, but you cannot wear jeans to discuss business.

Chi Mengli was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head, looked at the jeans on his body, smiled, and answered seriously: "'谇樊叔'? It's a good song. I've heard it once."

"Fan Ju then distributed all his wealth and possessions to repay those who had suffered from him. He would repay a meal of kindness and a grudge of slightest resentment."

"Your father is truly a great man!"

"Lawyer Zhang, I think we will have many opportunities to cooperate in the future."

Chi Mengli stretched out his hand and looked at Zhang Jieli across the table. Although he had not heard many Yuan operas, he had heard the famous "谇樊叔". He suddenly felt that the middle-aged gentleman lawyer across from him was very interesting.

“I look forward to working with Mr. Chi in the future.”

Zhang Jieli held Chi Mengli's hand and squeezed it gently.

Lawyer Zhang sent Chi Mengli to the elevator door. After the two parties agreed on the time to submit the lease contract, the two of them took the elevator downstairs.

Chi Mengli looked at his jeans, then turned around to look at the master's building behind him and the people constantly coming in and out of the big door. Everyone was wearing a suit and tie. He did feel a bit out of place.

The small hermit hides in the wild, the big hermit hides in the city,
The top hunters must hide in the jungle to catch the most juicy prey.

Thinking of this, he opened the car door, sat in the passenger seat of Toyota SupraA40, and asked Bo Bodong to go to Chater House. Now the hottest brand in Hong Kong is Armani, so he bought two sets of Armani ready-to-wear to show off.

Even the top luxury brands’ ready-made suits don’t fit well, so if you want them to be comfortable and proper, you’d better have them custom-made by an experienced tailor.

Bo Xidong nodded, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and drove all the way to Chater House.

Jimmy woke up and touched his chest. Seeing that the reward money from the new boss was still there, he relaxed his tense nerves. There were tens of thousands of yuan in the envelope on his chest. His father could not save up two hundred yuan after working for a year.

I didn't expect that just by calling him "big brother", I would get more money than I could save in my entire life.

What a flop!

He stood up, went to the bathroom in the dormitory to wash his face, and then went downstairs.

At the counter on the first floor, Honggu and Liba were sitting around the counter drinking porridge. When they saw Jimi coming down, they waved and said hello: "Jimi, come over and have some porridge."

Jimmy nodded, walked to the counter, picked up a bowl of white porridge, and started eating with the side dishes.

Halfway through the meal, Drunk Dragon came back with Jimmy's brothers. They all looked radiant, and it seemed that the pent-up hormones in their bodies had been released.

Amid the noise, everyone finished their breakfast. Red Mushroom and Fence went upstairs to sleep. Jimmy took everyone away, while Drunk Dragon stayed behind to watch the show.

Hongsheng Queguan was the territory of the Shuifang Yau Ma Tei branch and there had to be someone there at all times, even if these people had been assigned their own venues.

If the gang leader was overthrown by someone, these scoundrels would have no chance of survival.

After Jimmy left Hongsheng Que Hall, he looked at his brothers behind him, thought for a moment, and then said, "The boss asked us to go out and do something, and he needs fifty people."

"Whether we can make a name for ourselves depends on this time. If we succeed, the boss will open a temple for us, and we will be well-known in the world from now on."

"From now on, Young Master Tian and his group of Changle's Blue Lanterns will definitely not dare to speak loudly to us."

At this point, he glanced at the eight good brothers behind him, was silent for a second, and continued: "Fifty people are too few, eighty people, one hundred yuan each, drink in the evening, plus free sex."

"They are all brave and willing to fight. If something goes wrong and they get caught, they will just spend a few months in a boys' home at most."

"Can you do it?"

The eight good brothers in front of Jimmy looked at each other and nodded affirmatively. They were just interrupting the fight. They had fought before. "It can be done, brother Jimmy. There are many brothers who play soccer in the stadium. They don't get paid, but they are happy to watch."

"But brother Jimmy, isn't one hundred dollars per person a bit too much? There are eighty people, that's eight thousand dollars, and the boss only gave two hundred dollars per person. Add together, it's not enough to pay!"

"Yeah! Brother Jimmy, there's not enough rice!"

The good brothers all spoke at the same time, and they all had the same problem: they didn't have enough rice in their pockets.

"I know, Hei Zai, go to Tsuen Wan to find San Lik. This idiot plays soccer at the Tsuen Wan Stadium every morning. Tell him that there is a fight and let him bring his own weapons."

"Put the stuff in your schoolbag, so the police won't cuff you."

"After you find the person, go to the 886 roller skating rink to gather and eat first. Each person will have a portion of barbecued pork rice."

"Don't give all the money, give half first, and give it all to Shengli. Let him bring people over. The more people the better."

Jimmy took out the start-up capital given by the boss from his pocket, picked out fifteen redwood fish, and stuffed them into Heizi's hands.

"Wangzai, Zhang Dong, take the minibus to Kwun Tong and look for Shenwei. It's junior high school holiday, he has no money to spend, so he should be very short of money. One hundred dollars per person, he will definitely be happy to pay."

"When everyone gathers, it's the same. We go to the 886 roller skating rink and eat first. We eat barbecued pork rice."

After Jimmy finished speaking, he coughed, counted out twenty redwood fish, and handed them to Zhang Dong.

"Hop Sang, go to Shau Kei Wan and look for Ke La and the others. Come as many as you can."

"Stupid guys, you guys stay here and help the boss to watch the place and protect his safety."

"No matter how many people you shake hands with, you have to gather at the 886 roller skating rink at pm. Do you understand?"

"Know"

Jimmy nodded and told everyone to go about their business while he got on the minibus back to Kwun Tong.

By the time the minibus arrived in Kwun Tong, it was already noon. The big sun was hanging in the middle of the sky, scorching the earth.

After sitting in the minibus for a whole morning, the porridge in my stomach had long been eaten up. However, even without the bumps of the minibus, a few glasses of water would make my stomach empty.

Jimmy did not go to the stadium that the housing estate boy often went to. He first went to the Tsui Wah Restaurant where he often ate and ordered a bowl of barbecued pork rice, a roast goose leg, and a cup of Yuanyang milk tea.

Tsui Wah Restaurant is also a place frequented by the housing estate kids in Kwun Tong. The housing estate kids are all very clean-handed and make their living by stealing. The Yuanyang milk tea at Tsui Wah Restaurant only costs three dollars a cup and you can get refills, so it is a place frequented by the housing estate kids.

"Jimmy, I haven't seen you for a few days. Where are you making your fortune?"

The waiter from Tsui Wah Restaurant came over with barbecued pork rice and roast goose legs and greeted Jimmy.

"Get rich? What kind of wealth? I can barely afford to eat."

"I didn't see Xizai. He's the VIP of Tsui Wah Restaurant. Why didn't he come today?"

Jimmy complained a few words and then asked about the whereabouts of his good brother.

"Xizi? He was here just now. Hey! Isn't he here? Speak of the devil! Here he comes!"

"Xizi, Brother Jimmy is going to torture you!"

The waiter Aen was looking around. He had just seen Xizai sitting at the door drinking milk tea, but in the blink of an eye he disappeared. But by coincidence, the Xizai they were talking about pushed open the glass door of Tsui Wah Restaurant and walked in with a straw in his mouth.
