Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 55: It's Not Easy to Be a Traitor

(My usual keyboard suddenly stopped working, and my efficiency exploded.)
Tian Si's nimble fingers grasped the English fruit knife provided by the hospital and peeled the apple little by little without breaking the skin at all.

It's obvious that he is an expert with a knife.

According to legend, there was a man named Du who lived in the foreign concessions and had a unique skill in peeling fruit. Before he became famous, he was called Fruit Ah Sheng. He was good at peeling pears with a two-foot short knife. The pear skin was about half a millimeter thin and not broken, and did not take up any of the flesh.

Thanks to this skill, he sells two more baskets of fruit than others every day.

There was fierce fighting at the dock, and Boss Du made a name for himself with his sharp knife. That’s when he was spotted by the female manager Lin Guisheng and was allowed to work as a handyman for the Huang family.

Tian Si peeled the apple, put it in his mouth, took a bite, and swallowed it.

“A very sweet apple.”

"Mr. Ya, there are actually many areas where we can cooperate. Although Yazaku is a violent organization, it is a legal organization like the East Union Society and is protected by law."

"We have a lot of businesses we can cooperate on, such as seafood and fruit. We are partners with the five major trading companies. They have countless farms overseas. Hong Kong does not need to buy expensive goods with English labels."

"Also, I understand your current predicament and can lend a hand in every way."

"To use your own lines, you are the Overlord of Chu, raising the banner of 8,000 in Wu, fighting with all your might, fighting on 70 battlefields without a single defeat, a peerless hero drawing a strong bow."

"Eight thousand people followed me in the uprising, but it is hard to keep Yu Ji by my side. It is hard to keep the country and the beauty together. It is useless to linger in this world any longer."

"Your boss doesn't care about you and won't support you. I heard that your good brother Da Dongjiu proposed that Donglianshe should buy properties all over Hong Kong to open places, and Yau Ma Tei is the first stop, but these places don't belong to you."

"Your boss will hand over these newly purchased fields to members who have made contributions."

"Whether these people can be your helpers is another matter, but they are definitely your competitors."

"I read a book that said that class advancement is not vulgar at all. It is a struggle for survival, a struggle against poverty, violence, and disease. It is the most basic need of life."

"In this regard, Yazaku is more modern than Xiangjiang Society. It has a pyramid structure. Capable people will set up their own organizations, just like me, Tiandao Group."

"It's still the same old proposal. If you are willing to join Yazaku, you will set up your own organization. The Fourth-generation leader of the Tokyo headquarters will not interfere with your development."

"You will become Hyogo Wakachu and be directly under the leadership of Yamamoto Kenichi, also known as Wakaguchi, the leader of the Yamaken Team."

"I have also prepared a gift for Mr. Duck to join Yazaku. One million cash will be delivered to you in three installments. I can also secretly recruit troops for you to expand your power."

"An expert fighter who can fight, and a local who doesn't arouse suspicion."

"You don't even have to leave the East Union Society. You can just secretly hold the secret ceremony of joining the Yazaku."

"I believe that with our joint efforts, you will become the leader of the East Union Society, and even the emperor of Hong Kong."

"Think about the three tycoons who were famous all over the world back then?"

“It’s a good deal.”

Tian Si is a suitable lobbyist. He first helps Dakouya analyze the current situation, share intelligence, weigh the pros and cons, and then offers a price that cannot be refused.

One million in cash! Enough for Big Duck to go to Kowloon Walled City to recruit enough boxers, because there are already enough boxers there from all corners of the country because of the black boxing matches.

As long as you pay enough money, you can take away these ruthless people who only care about the pawns.

Big Mouth Duck was very tempted. Judging from today's fight, even if he practiced for another ten years, he would not be able to beat this loser, Handsome Sheng. But the world is round and there will always be a solution.

"Happy pills can be sold in my place, but there is an opening fee of 200,000 Hong Kong dollars. This is the rule, and it is the same for everyone."

"Eight thousand a month is the rent. Don't worry about the rest. I'll take care of the arrangements, buddy."

"As for the future cooperation, it depends on your sincerity."

Being a traitor is not an easy job. If the old scholar gets to know about it, your whole family will be killed.

Dakouya is not an idiot. He will not follow Tiansi recklessly after hearing a few nice words. He will wait until Tiansi's sincerity is in place before making any decision.

"Of course you can, but Mr. Ya, whether it's Silly Feng or Handsome Sheng, both of them have the upper hand now. Your failure today has spread all over Yau Ma Tei."

"The underworld has no sympathy for the weak, my friend."

"I believe that your situation will be even more difficult tomorrow. Then you will find out who your true partner is."

The apple was so sweet that Tian Si only took a bite and threw it into the trash can. He took out an envelope and put it on the bedside table. There was one thousand yuan in it, which was a gift for this visit.

"By the way, I hope that there will be a few like-minded friends who will support you at Mr. Hongtai's funeral."

“That’s also part of the sincerity.”

Tian Si buttoned his suit, put on his top hat, and turned to leave.

Dakouya looked at Tiansi who was leaving with a serious expression. He picked up the envelope, pinched its thickness with his hand, and threw it aside with a little disappointment. Then he picked up the cigarettes, picked out a red Wan, put it in his mouth to relieve his sorrow, and thought about Tiansi's invitation in his head.

Tian Si walked out of the room and left with his two men, but they did not notice that at the end of the corridor, there was a young man holding a Polaroid SX-70 camera, taking pictures of their faces.

The young man taking the photo is Ji Mi. His main job at present is to keep an eye on Big Mouth Duck and see who this pouncer is meeting with recently.

Polaroid SX-70 is the world's first camera that can directly spit out self-printed photos. It costs US$, which is Hong Kong dollars. Chi Mengli bought three cameras at once and sent three people to take shifts day and night to keep an eye on the big-mouthed duck.

This was the first time that Jimi listened to the boss's orders, so he did not send his men to follow him, but did it himself, even though he was now a clerk in charge of the show.

Ji Mi took down the photo and shook it desperately, then ran down the stairs. Finally, he arrived at the lobby before the elevator came down, hid in the corner, pointed the camera at the elevator, and pressed the shutter button immediately after seeing Tian Si appear in the camera.

Tian Si and his men left the hall and headed for the parking lot. He continued to follow behind until he took a picture of the license plate of the Crown sedan Tian Si was driving.

After the Crown sedan left, Ji Mi walked out of the bushes. It was a little dark, but the street lights in the parking lot were bright, showing the license plate clearly. He carefully checked several photos and was completely relieved when he saw that there was no damage.

A sheet of photo paper costs thirty Hong Kong dollars, and there are ten sheets in a pack. The photos he just took are worth one or two hundred dollars, so he dare not waste them.
