Chapter 3 The useless boss
Take a taxi from Causeway Bay to the underground casino on the west side of Waterloo Road, which is only a ten-minute drive away.

This is the territory of Heliansheng Huoniu.

After getting off the car and giving the fare to the driver, He Yaozong quickened his pace and ran towards an elevator entrance of Building A of ParknShop Building.

The eleventh floor of Building A of ParknShop was originally a warehouse of a department store two years ago.

But now it has been transformed into a large underground stall separated by wooden boards.

The air inside was filled with smoke and the sounds of laughter from winners and curses from losers could be heard everywhere.

In the accounting office next to the gambling room, a middle-aged man with a hunched back was yawning, rubbing the backs of his swollen hands, and looking eagerly at a bookkeeper who was responsible for keeping accounts in the casino.

The accountant adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, looked up at the middle-aged man, then shook his head and continued to check the accounts at hand.

"Brother Sen, I haven't seen you for a while.

I often hear people say that you always play on Big D's gambling boat.

At the very least, it's a contribution to the Royal Jockey Club. Why did you think of playing in our field today?"

This man with a face full of kidney deficiency is none other than Guan Zaisen, the head of Longgen, a heavyweight veteran of He Liansheng. He is now the nominal leader of He Liansheng in the Sham Shui Po area.

Why is he called the nominal boss? Because Guan Zaisen was completely ruined a few years ago.

Originally, he was a young man who was highly regarded by Long Gen. However, for some unknown reason, he became addicted to drugs and became a Taoist who ate powder and chased dragons all day long.

Being addicted to drugs was not enough. Since the drug addiction took hold, all his spiritual sustenance was placed on the gambling table.

If he has money, he gambles big; if he doesn't have money, he gambles small. After gambling, he returns to his residence, spreads out tinfoil to chase the dragon, and takes a drowsy nap. This has become Guan Zaisen's normal life in the past few years.

If a person gets involved in either gambling or drugs, his life is probably ruined.

Guan Zaisen was involved in both, and in the eyes of the big guys at Heliansheng, he was completely ruined.

If Long Gen had not remembered their past friendship and registered several capable younger brothers from the Shenshuishe generation under his name and recognized him as a sworn brother, this good-for-nothing would have been left dead on the streets long ago.

Guan Zaisen rubbed his eyes and said, “There is no way to stop drooling. In half a month, it will be my boss’s 60th birthday.

I have to save my money to buy him a birthday gift, so I have no choice but to come to your place and endure it for a while."

"Okay, that's the old rule. Brother Sen won money, so we won't take your money as usual.

How much money are you going to stake this time?"

"What the hell, if it weren't for the IOUs I could get from your place, I wouldn't have bothered to come!
It's still the same old rule. I'll borrow 20,000 yuan for fun first, with interest as usual. When Jimmy gets more money in a few days, I'll pay you back."

Faced with Guan Zaisen's nonchalant answer, the saliva sitting in front of the desk immediately showed an embarrassed expression.

He took out an abacus and began to count for Guan Zaisen.

"Brother Sen, we are not trying to offend you.

You borrowed 16,000 yuan from our casino last month and haven't paid it off yet.

According to the rules of the place, you should at least pay back fifty-three thousand dollars now."

Guan Zaisen was a little surprised, but he also knew that his face was no longer effective in He Liansheng's territory.

"So you mean you don't want to borrow it anymore?"

Saliva all over his body, he smiled bitterly: "Brother Sen, Brother Huoniu told me about that amount. They are all brothers from Liansheng. You just need to pay back the principal.

But if I lend you more money before you pay back the debt, Brother Huo Niu will punish me.

Please don't make things difficult for us little ones."

Guan Zaisen sniffed, a hint of horror flashing in his eyes.

He suddenly jumped up nervously, put his hands on the table, and stared at the drooling man in front of him with his red eyes.

This action undoubtedly scared all the saliva.

"Saliva, I beg you, please lend it to me this time!
Jimmy gave me $100,000 last week and asked me to prepare a birthday gift for his grandfather. I gambled away all the money!
I must win it back, I must win it back!
Please help me, you must help me! If I can't even come up with a gift for my boss's 60th birthday, I'll be screwed!"

"Brother Sen, I... I really can't help you..."

Tuk-tuk-tuk——

Just when he was at a loss for words, there was a knock on the door outside the accounting office.

A tea-adding waiter stood at the door with a teapot in his hand and shouted to Guan Zaisen.

"Brother Sen, someone is looking for you outside!"

"I'm busy now, go out and close the door!" Guan Zaisen turned around and glared at the guy, responding nervously.

Unexpectedly, the guy was unmoved and replied with a smile.

"Brother Sen, the man who came here said he was here to return your money. Are you sure you don't want to meet him?"

Upon hearing this, the two people in the accounting office were stunned, and then they both showed sincere smiles.

"Repay the money? Great! Where is he?"

"That's the one in the lounge area at the entrance. He's tall and handsome, wearing a black sweatshirt and looks like a young man."

Seeing Guan Zaisen running out of the accounting office, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He waved to the tea boy to come over.

"Hey, is anyone really going to pay Guan Zai Sen back? He's in this state, and he still has money to lend to others?"

"I don't know, Brother Quan. Anyway, the guy came in and told me that he was here to pay back the money to Guan Zaisen."

……

He Yaozong sat at the entrance of the casino, holding a cigarette.

Sitting next to him were a few gamblers who had lost all their money and were using their landlines to make phone calls and borrow money from everywhere.

Guan Zaisen walked over from the accounting office like a stray dog ​​foraging in a garbage dump.

After just an eye contact, he set his sights on He Yaozong.

He Yaozong immediately waved to Guan Zaisen.

"No need to look for Brother Sen, I am the one who came to find you."

"You owe me money?"

Looking at the young man in front of him whom he had never met before, Guan Zaisen sat down suspiciously.

He Yaozong immediately shook his head.

"I don't owe you any money, Brother Sen. I just came here today to become your disciple and make a living in Sham Shui Po."

Upon hearing this, Guan Zaisen's eyes dimmed instantly.

"Foolish, since you're here to pay your respects, don't you know that Jimmy is in charge of Shen Shui She now?
I have long stopped accepting younger brothers!"

It's not that Guan Zaisen doesn't want to recruit more followers. What's rare and valuable about him is that although he is a gambler and a dragon chaser, he still has some sense of the rules.

He knew that he was useless enough and no longer had the energy to manage the affairs of the hall for Long Gen.

He simply gave power to the young man that Long Gen favored the most. On the one hand, he could have some free time, and on the other hand, he could get a good reputation with Long Gen and get a long-term meal ticket for himself.

However, He Yaozong came prepared and naturally would not back down because of Guan Zaisan's refusal.

"Brother Sen, I know you owe more than ten thousand dollars at the Huoniu Casino.

Here is 16,000 in cash. Use it to pay off your casino debt, and then we can discuss joining the sect."

Guan Zaisen was stunned, and looked at the stack of "Gold Bulls" that He Yaozong took out from his pocket, and couldn't help licking his tongue.

"Why, is this the red seal for me?"

"Of course not, I'm just helping Brother Sen pay off a gambling debt.

Everyone in Sham Shui Po doesn't know that Brother Sen is a man of integrity and loyalty. If you follow me, you'll definitely make your mark!"

He Yaozong's words of "sincerity" completely dispelled Guan Zaisen's concerns, as he had long wanted to take the money.

He laughed and snatched the money from He Yaozong's hand.

"In that case, there's no need for the red envelope. From now on, you can just tell others that you're my Guanzaisen's younger brother!"

"Wait a minute, Brother Sen, there are some things I think I'd better explain to you directly."

Seeing Guan Zaisen taking the money and about to run to the accounting office, He Yaozong grabbed him again.

Guan Zaisen, who was impatient, had to stop and look at He Yaozong with his head tilted.

"Is there anything else?"
