Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 51: Life and Death Are the Only Real Matters
"Country bumpkin, cigars are not meant to go into your lungs. You have to taste them slowly in your mouth."

"You're lucky you didn't choke on that star."

"Ah Xing, go buy some cigarettes for Brother Yazai. Brother Yazai likes to smoke Hong Wan."

Seeing that Dakouya was not used to smoking cigars, Dadongjiu took out a Redwood Fish bill (one hundred dollars) and asked his men to go to the convenience store to buy cigarettes. After that, he snatched the cigar back.

It can't be wasted. This cigar is worth more than three hundred dollars. After cutting off the area bitten by the duck, you can still smoke it.

"waste."

"Brother Yazai, I heard that you were in jail for three days. Go find a sauna and take a good shower to get rid of the bad luck."

"Agong is chatting with Uncle Frog and Uncle Eggplant. I think they haven't finished yet. Please be patient."

Dadongjiu's henchmen came back quickly, bought two boxes of Hongwan from the convenience store, handed them over to their boss, and then the two boxes of Hongwan cigarettes were transferred to Dakouya's hands.

"What are you talking about? My boss owes the water house more than three million. If you include the interest from the past few days, it should be around four and a half million."

"Now he is lying in the funeral home, waiting for me to arrange his funeral. This handsome guy has defeated me and made a mess of my life. I think it's time for Lao Ding to come forward and settle the matter."

Dakouya took a puff of his cigarette happily, but when he heard what Dadongjiu said, his face immediately turned bitter and he kept complaining.

To put it simply, the boss of my sect is an honest, simple, clumsy and perverted gambler. Normal people would never do such a thing. He chooses stocks and bets on futures by rolling dice.

I didn’t lose all my pants, it’s all thanks to the God of Wealth.

"Who did this, Brother Hongtai? Didn't anyone hear about it?"

Dadongjiu took a puff of his cigar, then looked around, and seeing that no one noticed the two of them, he asked softly.

"Boss, I was put in jail for three days by the police. What did I get?"

"Damn it, Shuiche Niu said the pickup truck was bought by a big circle boy. Now Hong Kong is full of northern girls and big circle boys. Where can I find someone who has never shown his face?"

"Since we can't find the person, then we'll blame it on Handsome Sheng. When a person dies, all debts are settled. If he still wants to pay, I'll send him to hell. Maybe my boss is selling salted duck eggs down there and has collected the amount he needs."

Big Mouth Duck threw the cigarette butt on the floor, stomped it out with his foot, scratched his half-dry, half-wet hair, and spoke in a muffled voice.

Dadongjiu took a puff of his cigarette and didn't respond. Now, Handsome Sheng is a new celebrity in the underworld, and all of his men are capable of fighting. Lao Fu's Seven Star Lantern was beaten to death in the street by his men.

If one street of big-mouthed ducks is missing, they may not be able to survive.

"Brother Yazai, Brother Dongjiu, Grandpa wants you two to come to the office."

A Donglianshe 49er came running over and asked Dakouya and Dadongjiu to go see the scholar ghost.

Dadongjiu quickly stood up and put out the cigar in his hand. Seeing that Dakouya had not stood up yet, he reached out and pulled him.

The two went up to the second floor, greeted their fellow disciples who were coming in and out, and then walked to the scholar ghost's office.

Dadongjiu tidied his clothes and seeing that there was no big problem, he knocked on the door three times gently. When he heard someone calling him to come in, a smile immediately appeared on his face and he pushed the door open.

"A-Da, Uncle Frog, Uncle Qie, Duckling and I greet you three."

The scholar ghost sitting behind the desk saw Dadongjiu, nodded with satisfaction, and said to Frog with a smile: "Uncle Frog, I told you that the person outside the door was Ah Jiu, but you still didn't believe it."

"In the entire Donglian Society, there are hundreds of 49ers and more than a dozen Red Sticks, but only Jiu knows how to be polite and knock on the door." "Jiu, Yazi, you two, sit down."

"Duckling, have you ever offered incense to Hongtai? He loves you the most."

The scholar ghost teased Dadongjiu for a while, and then turned his gaze to the big-mouthed duck sitting on the sofa at the door.

When Dakouya heard the scholar ghost's question, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Not only did he burn incense for the boss, but he also took care of the lonely sister-in-law. He touched his nose with a guilty conscience and answered, "I went, but I didn't go to the charity cemetery."

"I thought I'd go to the charity cemetery after meeting you, Ada."

"Hongmen disciples are all about loyalty and righteousness."

"I sent people to check, but they couldn't find the culprit. But he will be exposed sooner or later, so there's no rush."

"I came to you today to ask you, how are you going to handle the place in Yau Ma Tei?"

"Should we continue to open the big movie? Or should we sit together and discuss the numbers?"

"Duckling, you are the boss of Hongtai, you know everything about the place in Yau Ma Tei, unlike me who is the boss and is completely in the dark."

The scholar ghost lit a cigarette and asked Big Mouth Duck to speak out his thoughts. Whether it was fighting or talking, there had to be a rule.

"Fight! Of course we have to fight. There are hundreds of brothers in our hall waiting to start work and eat. Even if I want to retreat, the brothers will not let me."

"If the brand is destroyed, the brothers will definitely move to other brands."

Big Mouth Duck thought for a long time and finally made up his mind to fight.

A bunch of brothers have to work and eat together, and this small piece of land is definitely not enough to be divided. Besides, he is Brother Hongtai's boss. If he doesn't help Hongtai to get revenge, the brothers will definitely complain.

When people’s hearts are scattered and their brand is destroyed, they can no longer stand up.

Shushenggui is in favor of starting a big film. In the past two years, the reputation of Donglian News Agency has declined a lot. After a big bottom was wiped out by someone, and he still doesn't come forward, people in the underworld will look down on him as the chairman and the Donglian News Agency brand.

There was no reason for him not to eat his fill. After all, he was familiar with this place and all his brothers in the gang knew him.

"Good job, you are so impressive. If you want to fight, let's fight. Don't say Grandpa doesn't support you. I will lend you soldiers, but you have to pay for the resettlement fee and overtime pay."

"The head of the water room, Shenxian Jin, asked Uncle Frog to pass on a message, asking everyone to sit down and talk about the number that Hongtai is carrying."

"Hongtai has made great contributions and worked hard over the years. The society will definitely provide him with enough money to settle down, and his funeral will be grand."

At this point, the scholar ghost took out 60,000 yuan from the drawer, put it on the table, and continued; "This is 60,000 yuan, use it to hold Hongtai's funeral. Brothers on the road, please watch it, don't let the people of the society down."

"Thank you, Ada."

Big Mouth Duck thanked the Scholar Ghost on behalf of Hongtai, and then put the money on the table into his pocket.

If you want a grand funeral, this amount of money is definitely not enough. A permanent grave site at the Heung Kong Tsai Cemetery in Happy Valley costs HK$36,000.

According to the rules, the funeral expenses are paid half by the society and half by the hall. After the halls were sold out one after another, the income must have been halved. Dakouya has no idea how much money is left in the account of the Yau Ma Tei hall.

Only life and death are the real matters, the rest can be negotiated. If the boss dies in poverty, it will be embarrassing for Big Mouth Duck.
