Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 242 19: Bar Party

When he thought of this, Chi Mengli felt depressed. He looked at Tasha and Xizai who were fighting each other. He pushed away the men beside him and walked straight over.

No matter whether it was the people from the Number Gang or the thugs in the water room, they were all surprised that Handsome Sheng, the gangster, took the initiative to join the battle.

According to the rules of the underworld, the boss will not leave until the henchmen have decided the winner.

Chi Mengli grabbed Xizi's fist that was about to hit Tasha, and raised his knee to block Tasha's kick.

The two pawns' punches and kicks were so weak that if you didn't know, you would think they hadn't eaten.

I am not a kindergarten teacher. I don't have the time to run out to buy Snickers for these two kids, so that they can satisfy their hunger and sit back down.

"What's wrong with not eating? Why are you so weak when punching?"

When Xizi saw Chi Mengli taking action, he quickly retracted his fist and withdrew from the fight so as not to cause trouble for Brother Sheng.

But Tasha was overjoyed. Neither Pineapple nor Xizai were his match. The Pujiezi just left knowing when to leave, which left him with enough energy to defeat the handsome guy.

As long as he can beat Liangzai Sheng, he can get a ticket to the Hongmen Conference. When he becomes famous in the Hongmen Conference, he will take his brothers to Yau Ma Tei to plant a flag.

My master once said that the emperor is the one with strong soldiers and horses!

The same is true in the martial arts world. The fate of an old martial artist has long been determined, and that is to become a stepping stone for a new boxer.

Now, handsome Sheng is his stepping stone!

There was excitement in Tasha's eyes. As long as he could deal with Liangzai Sheng, he would be able to appear at the Hongmen Conference.

"Bajiquan! I can do it too. I'll teach you and show you what twenty years of hard training is all about."

When Tasha heard Chi Mengli reveal his origins with just one sentence, he was also shocked. He quickly looked at Chi Mengli and found that this pounce started from 0 frames, and a big slap hit him in the face.

"Fuck off! You dare to embarrass Bajiquan with your two mediocre punches and kicks!"

Tasha felt a burning pain on his face. Being slapped in public was intolerable. He took a step forward and threw his right fist straight at Chi Mengli's face. He used a simple punch that created a gust of wind and went straight to Chi Mengli's face.

Seeing the soft fist, Chi Mengli was not in a hurry. He slightly turned sideways and easily avoided this slightly immature attack. He stretched out his left hand and used the "Golden Wire Wrist Wrap" as fast as lightning to accurately hold Tasha's right wrist.

Tasha saw Chi Mengli's moves, but they were so fast that his eyes couldn't follow them, let alone fight back. He only felt a strong force coming from his wrist, and he couldn't break free, and was horrified.

Chi Mengli, who was in a dominant position, took the opportunity to move forward, bent his left leg and raised it, then slammed his elbow into Tasha's chest.

Seeing the fatal move approaching, Tasha hurriedly crossed his arms to block, but was still knocked back several steps by the powerful force, and his arms became numb.

Seeing that the boiled egg head was in a mess, Chi Mengli did not stop, and then used the fierce tiger climbing the mountain move, swinging his fists alternately, with the wind whistling, and attacked the shining boiled egg head as fast as a tiger pouncing on its prey.

As the killing move approached, Tasha responded in panic, blocking left and right, his steps disorderly, and was forced back several steps by this series of fierce attacks.

Seeing that the time had come, Chi Mengli sneered and shouted loudly, using Bajiquan's unique move, Overlord Breaking the Reins. He twisted his waist and swung his right arm like a long whip, smashing it towards Tasha's neck with a tremendous force.

There was no way to avoid the sand beating, so I had to close my eyes and take it.

There was a dull thud and Tasha fell to the ground, knocked unconscious.

"Fuck! The red sticks are worthless now! They are all weaklings."

"This is the honor I give you. Keep it. It will be enough for you to brag about for the rest of your life!"

Chi Mengli waved at Xizi and asked for a dagger, leaving a scar directly on the head of the braised egg.

The gangsters from the Number Gang standing nearby were all shocked by the sharp kung fu skills of Handsome Sheng. They all stood there in a daze, not daring to move.

Chi Mengli, who left a certificate of honor for Tasha, got into his Volvo car without even looking back.

Xizi glanced at Tasha who had fainted on the ground and spat, thinking that it was presumptuous of him to fight with Brother Sheng. Then he drove his men away and got into the driving seat himself.

"Brother Sheng, shall we go back to the hotel?"

Xizi sat firmly, controlled the steering wheel with both hands, turned his head to look at Chi Mengli, and asked softly.

"Leave a brother to wait for Ah Dong, and ask him to bring people to the Rose Bar in Tsim Sha Tsui to find me. Don't take any action without my order."

"Since the pretty girl has an appointment, I can't postpone it. Let's go to the Rose Bar."

Chi Mengli took out the business card given by Sheng Lude from his pocket, took a look at it, and threw it out of the car window.

Although he didn't know what Brother Sheng was going to do in Tsim Sha Tsui, Xizai didn't say much. He just gave a few instructions to his men, asking them to leave one person to wait for Brother Dong at the Peninsula Hotel and for the rest to follow. He honked the horn and drove towards Tsim Sha Tsui.

Tsim Sha Tsui is very lively at night. Apart from pedestrians, the streets are full of perverts looking for fun.

The entire Tsim Sha Tsui became a sea of ​​neon signs. Chi Mengli stared at the neon lights outside the window in a daze. Ruan Wen had a good idea. As long as they seized the opportunity and used production to eliminate other competitors, they would be able to dominate the market.

As long as he can produce blank videotapes well, he will be invincible because the output is large, the production cost is low and the selling price is low.

Even if the gold diggers in North America found enough gold, they would still end up in poverty.

But the people who really got rich were those who opened hotels, brothels, restaurants and bars, and those businessmen who sold gold mining auxiliary tools.

Chi Mengli has never thought of eating up all the profits of the entire line. The banker takes everything. This is the style of the society, not the style of businessmen. Therefore, there are very few underworld celebrities who transform into legitimate businessmen.

The fundamental reason is that the concepts in our minds have not changed.

Cats have their own way, and dogs have their own way. Until a cat learns to bark like a dog, it will not be able to gain a foothold in the dog's way.

A true businessman will only make limited profits; huge profits will not last long.

Learn to control your greed!

After obtaining the film copyright, New Wave Film Company will become a powder keg, but whether this powder keg will blow it up is still unpredictable. We can only take one step at a time and see what happens.

"Brother Sheng, we're here."

Xizi parked the car in the metered parking space, then looked in the rearview mirror, looked at Chi Mengli with a puzzled look, and whispered a reminder.

"Okay, you go in with me and let the brothers wait in the car."

After Chi Mengli finished speaking, he put on his suit jacket, opened the car door and got out.

Xizi quickly pulled out the car keys, took out his wallet, locked the car first, took out two redwood fish, and clamped them on the car window.

The parking boy from the Number Gang whistled at Xizi, saluted with a crooked American military salute, and immediately threw two queen heads into the timer.

Chi Mengli had been to the Rose Bar with Niu Gu. At that time, he was an unknown member of the Number Gang, with no achievements at all, not even a parking stall.

The daring Niugu, with the 100,000 yuan he had taken from the rich boy in his pocket, came to the Rose Bar, spent 88,000 yuan, got Deng Qi's hard job, and then successfully got it done. With the help of Deng Qi's name, he took over the then shabby Potlan Street.

Although Shanghai City and Causeway Bay are rising rapidly now, in the eyes of perverts, Bowl Lane is still the number one entertainment venue in Hong Kong.

All the bad guys in the Number Gang know that the drinks in the Rose Bar are expensive, the girls are expensive, and the chance to get ahead is expensive.

Pushing open the door of the Rose Bar, Chi Mengli walked into the chaotic dance floor, which was filled with young and restless boys and girls, who were sweating profusely.

Chi Mengli had no interest in dancing. He had just come out of the police station today and just wanted to go back to the hotel and have a good sleep.

"Handsome guy, I don't know you! But the Rose Bar is not short of strangers, as long as you have money in your pocket."

A beautiful female bartender saw Chi Mengli sitting at the bar and immediately came over to greet him. She shook the stainless steel cocktail shaker in her hand, looked at the handsome face of the strange short mule, licked her lips seductively, and asked, "My specialty is the soul-sucking wine."

"For your handsome face, the first cup is free. Do you want to try it?"

Chi Mengli seldom drinks alcohol, because it hurts the brain. Even when he drank red wine from a top winery tonight, he only drank a few sips as if pretending to drink it. It was probably less than two taels, not even as much as Shirt drank.

"I don't want free wine, because I'm afraid I won't be able to find my pants after I finish drinking it."

"I don't need a glass of wine to numb myself now, but a glass of soda water."

"Thank you!"

Chi Mengli opened her wallet, ordered a redwood fish, placed it on the bar, and asked the female bartender to bring her a glass of soda water.

Seeing that the handsome guy in front of her didn't understand romance, the female bartender rolled her eyes, then took out a bottle of Perrier from the refrigerator next to her and said unhappily, "We don't have freshly mixed soda water, but we have bottled ones ready."

After she finished speaking, she reached out and took the redwood fish from the table and stuffed it into the small bag at her waist.

A bottle of Perrier water costs one hundred dollars, which is more profitable than robbery.

Chi Mengli didn't care too much. He carefully checked the bottle cap and found no problem. Then he unscrewed the horseshoe lid, took a sip, opened his wallet, ordered a Danone from it and put it on the bar.

"Oh my god, you're actually a rich guy. I know everything about the Rose Bar. I promise you'll get your money's worth."

Although the female bartender spoke rudely, she was always paying attention to Chi Mengli's every move. When she saw this unromantic guy order a big cow, she immediately took action and snatched the money on the table.

"I'm not interested in the Rose Bar. I'm here to see Miss Nine. Please help me pass on a message that Handsome Sheng has come to apologize."

Sheng Lude was right. When dealing with women, you need to use sweet words and spend a lot of gold coins.

As the old saying goes, if you don't listen to the advice of the elderly, you will suffer the consequences. Chi Mengli decided to follow the ideas of his predecessors.

The female bartender didn't know who won the handsome man's victory. After all, she was not a gangster, she was just a staff member of the Rose Bar. However, although she was not a gangster, she was not blind. She saw that the Ninth Girl drank a glass of whiskey angrily and then returned to her own private room.

"I can pass on the message, but I don't know whether Miss Nine will see you or not."

"But let me make it clear in advance that if Miss Nine doesn't want to see you, the errand fee will not be refunded!"

The female bartender emphasized this, then took off the intercom from her waist and said loudly, "Brother Baihe, Brother Baihe, there is a handsome guy who wants to see Miss Nine."

After finishing her speech, the female bartender put the speaker of the intercom to her ear. Three seconds later, she spoke again: "It's the handsome guy, not the dick hair!"

"Oh right! Brother Baihe, this handsome guy seems to be a fellow Jianghu brother, and his nickname is Handsome Sheng."

There was silence on the intercom, no movement at all.

The female bartender waited for three seconds, and when she saw that there was no sound at all, she said to Chi Mengli with a hint of regret: "Handsome boy, your big shot is a waste."

"But it doesn't matter. I'm a generous man. Although I can't return the money to you, I can treat you to a midnight snack. Also, the free soul-snatching skill is still effective."

Chi Mengli imitated the actions in American movies, shrugged helplessly, and politely declined the bartender's offer of midnight snack and wine, and just continued to drink the Perrier in her hand.

"This must be Brother Sheng!"

"I'm the manager of the Rose Bar. Brother Sheng, just call me Bai He."

"Brother Sheng, I am sorry for the delay. Miss Nine has prepared the best bourbon whiskey and sent me to invite you up."

Bai He, who was on the intercom, appeared in front of the bar and said respectfully to Chi Mengli, "Please come up, the bathroom manager."

The news of Tasha had spread throughout the underworld. In less than two minutes, Tasha's number was obtained for Honggun.

Now the Hong Kong underworld has finally begun to take Handsome Sheng seriously, believing that he has the potential to be a double flower and red stick.

"Thank you! I'll come back to drink your Soul-Snatching Drink when I have the chance. As for your midnight snack tonight, it seems we'll have to do it another day."

Chi Mengli threw the bottle of Paris water in her hand onto the table, then stood up and followed Bai He upstairs.

The female bartender didn't expect that Brother Baihe, who was usually so arrogant, could actually speak nicely. She kept the three words "handsome guy wins" in her heart and planned to ask her bestie about it after get off work tonight.

Chi Mengli didn't know what the female bartender was planning, but even if he knew, he wouldn't take it to heart. Why bother to know each other when you meet? It's better to forget each other than to support each other. He followed Bai He and went up to the second floor and walked to the box at the end of the corridor.

"Brother Sheng, Miss Nine only allows you to go in alone, don't make it difficult for a little one like me."

"The boss is the only one in the box, you can rest assured."

Not only was Bai He not planning to go in, he also stopped Xizi behind Chi Mengli and started to explain.

"Xizi, wait for me outside. If Miss Nine wants to hang me up, she won't ask me to meet her. She can just go straight to the dirty rat to do the job."

"It is said in the martial arts world that Baihe means one thing and two things, and he never tells lies."

"Niu Gu has always told me that we can go to the battlefield together. We are good brothers who can stand by each other's side. Niu Gu's good brother is my handsome brother Sheng's good brother. I believe everything a good brother says."

Chi Mengli asked Xizi to wait at the door of the box, praised Bai He a few words, then reached out and knocked on the door, then pushed it open and walked in.

Compared to the hustle and bustle of the bar hall on the first floor, Jiu Guang’s exclusive box is very quiet. In fact, the box is not decorated in a bar style, but in a teahouse style where gourmets gather.

"Brother Sheng is here, please take a seat."

"The gangsters said that a real man should be clean and wear a white shirt."

"But I don't think so, because Brother Sheng is a famous handsome guy in the underworld. Your face is more than enough to be a movie star. You will look very good in bright colors."

"I didn't expect that after you put it on, you would be more beautiful than I imagined."

The Ninth Girl, who was making tea, did not have the craziness of the Peninsula Hotel. She first looked at the pink shirt on Chi Mengli and praised Chi Mengli's handsome face.

Ninth Girl openly praised Chi Mengli as a handsome guy, but secretly expressed that her own aesthetic taste was very strong. This evil woman was a master of double entendres.

Chi Mengli smiled slightly, sat down opposite the Ninth Girl, and then replied with a smile: "I am just an idiot, an embroidered pillow, and my acting skills are definitely not as good as the Ninth Girl."

"But there is a fixed process for catching water fish. You have to give the water fish some benefits first, and then let the water fish take the bait little by little."

"Miss Nine, you are too impatient. You just got some money out of Ruan Wen, and now you want to use her as a puppet. Even if Ruan Wen is really an innocent little white rabbit, Miss Nine, haven't you heard the old saying that even a rabbit will bite when it's anxious?"

Little white rabbit?!

The Ninth Girl raised her head and looked at Chi Mengli with a little surprise. She thought about it in her mind and decided that she must first find out whether the man in front of her knew Ruan Wen's background.

After thinking for a moment, she tentatively said, "The little white rabbit is not scary. The most scary thing is pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger."

"Someone in the group thought Miss Ruan Wen was getting in the way, so they asked me, a person who is not presentable, to come forward and drive Miss Ruan Wen out of Hong Kong."

“No matter how bold and reckless the Number Gang is, they dare not provoke the young talents who can participate in the Taipingshan Dance Party.”

Chi Mengli didn't know Ruan Wen's background, but since he could become an old friend of the police station, he definitely couldn't be a newbie. There must be a big boss standing behind Ruan Wen, either a foreigner or a big boss of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

Even if his brain suddenly went crazy, he could still hear that the Ninth Girl was testing him to see if he knew Ruan Wen's background.

He thought for a second, then decided to take advantage of the situation and answered, "I'm a very simple person. I'll go through fire and water for a girl, and I won't hesitate."

"If you really like it, then put more effort into it. Then the girl will work harder in bed."

"Ninth Miss, the people around me know that I am a handsome man. Once I am dazzled by a woman, I will do things without any rules."

"Ms. Jiu, please give me some face. I heard that you like horse racing. I can't afford to buy you an expensive racehorse, but I do have enough money to open a stable in Shau Kei Wan for you."

"As long as you are kind enough to help, Miss Nine, I will have someone do it tomorrow and I guarantee you will be happy."

Pretending to know something when you don't is likely to cause problems.

Because lying needs to be supported by details, and nine truths and one lie are needed to achieve the desired result. Chi Mengli knew nothing and had no way to fool the Ninth Girl. In this case, he might as well pretend to be stupid.

Love brain? !

Stop kidding! The love-brained guy would not go back to the hotel with the girl and fight her for 300 rounds, but would choose to leave alone and go to the Rose Bar for the date.

The Ninth Girl sneered in her heart. This handsome guy Sheng is really a master at taking advantage of the situation.

The business card she gave to Sheng Lude had a trigger condition. If Handsome Sheng had left with Ruan Wen, neither the pink shirt nor the business card would have fallen into his hands, and tonight some gangsters from the Number Gang would go to Yau Ma Tei to stage a big show.

The handsome Sheng left alone, which means that this guy was not horny and was also on guard against the evil woman Ruan Wen.

She did not expose him, but poured a cup of tea for the handsome boy Sheng across from her before she said, "Brother Sheng, someone asked me to deal with Ruan Wen and teach her a lesson."

"A gentleman loves money, but he gets it in a proper way. I took your stable, and I can't explain it to the boss."

"But the boss behind me just wants to make Ruan Wen give in. I hope Brother Sheng can convince your daughter to transfer the current project to me. On the surface, I won't give her a penny, but secretly I will keep a hidden stake in the movie."

"After the movie becomes a big hit, I will give all the money I earn to Miss Ruan Wen."

"Of course, if Miss Ruan Wen doesn't trust me, the Ninth Miss, she can buy it out in one go. I will compensate her for whatever she spends."

"Brother Sheng, please don't make things difficult for me."

"Things are different now. When Lei Luo was here, we could find someone to scapegoat even if it was reported in the newspapers. But now, the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau and the West Kowloon Crime Squad don't give us face. If we do something out of line, they will handcuff us and take us to the police station."

"Besides, whether it's showing off your horse or shooting a big movie, you need bundles of money. If you're unlucky, you'll have to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars just for the bail of your men."

"The combined losses on both sides are enough to make a big-budget movie."

"Brother Sheng, please think about this carefully!"

The reason why the Ninth Girl invited the handsome Sheng to the Rose Bar this time was to discuss the amount. Ruan Wen's film set had just started to be set up, and the maximum amount would be just a few hundred thousand.

If she could get it done by paying money secretly, it would be a huge profit. She could make money from both sides, and the boss would also be explained, and everyone would be happy.

Chi Mengli also didn't want to start a big movie because of Ruan Wen. After all, they were just a fake boyfriend and girlfriend. If he paid too much for a fake girl, he would be criticized as a slave by his friends in the future.

He nodded, poured the tea in the cup onto the tea table, turned the cup upside down on the table, smiled and nodded, saying: "Since Miss Nine has thought it through, let's do it according to Miss Nine's arrangement."

"Hidden shares will cause unnecessary trouble, so it's better to buy them out directly."

"It's so clean and fresh, and everyone will feel at ease. Ninth Miss, what do you think?"

Seeing that the matter was settled, Miss Nine nodded with satisfaction and continued with what Chi Mengli said on the other side: "Since Brother Sheng has spoken, of course I have to give him face."

"Ms. Ruan's studio has just been built. Including the salaries of the staff, it will not exceed 150,000."

"Since it's a transfer project, I'll take care of all the scripts, actor contracts and other stuff."

"I'll give you two hundred thousand in cash in total, as a token of my friendship with Miss Ruan Wen."

"Brother Sheng, what do you think?"
