“Alright, everyone quiet down,” Mr. Jiang said.

"Jiang, you tell me, I'll listen to you!" After hearing Jiang Lai's introduction of Xiahou Wu, Mr. Jiang was also a little unsure of himself and felt that it was quite a tricky situation.

“Mr. Jiang, since Hung Hing has accepted this boxing match, we naturally cannot withdraw. Otherwise, what will others think of Hung Hing in the future?” Jiang Lai said directly.

“But…” Mr. Jiang looked at Jiang Lai with some concern.

"Mr. Jiang, esteemed sirs, there's no need to worry too much. Although Xia Wuhou is indeed formidable, I'm no less so!" Seeing the solemn atmosphere, Jiang Lai felt he had to give them some confidence.

Although Jiang Lai couldn't guarantee that he could defeat Xia Wuhou, he had mastered the art of external martial arts and had taken the Marrow Cleansing Pill.

His physical recovery ability is many times stronger. Even if he can't beat Xiahou Wu, he shouldn't be killed by him. If he doesn't step up, who else in Hung Hing can fight Xiahou Wu?

“But, Jiang, you said he’s the best in the world!” the Crown Prince said with some concern.

“Yes, that’s right, but I’m talking about the former number one in the world!” Jiang said.

"After all, I've never fought him before, and whether I can win or not, we'll only know after we fight."

After glancing at everyone, Jiang Lai continued:

"But don't worry, even if we can't beat them, we can guarantee a 50/50 chance!" Jiang Lai once again gave the group of big shots a boost of confidence.

"Really?" The group seemed skeptical.

After Jiang said a few words to him, Xiahou Wu was almost mythologized in their minds.

"Well, it's at least 50/50. Of course, if you have someone better, I don't mind!" Jiang Lai said when he saw everyone looking at him with skepticism.

As for other candidates, who else is there? Fatty Li is already preparing to take down Xiahou Wu with a gun.

"Then Jiang will represent Hung Hing in the battle. Do you have any objections?" Mr. Jiang was slightly relieved to see Jiang Lai say this, and addressed the crowd.

No one else had any objections, not even the Crown Prince, who all agreed to let Jiang Lai participate in the boxing match.

After the boxing match participants were finalized, Mr. Jiang discussed some business matters, inquired about accounts and the situation of the gang members, and then the meeting officially ended.

Chapter 21 Territory Division

After the club meeting ended, Mr. Jiang and a group of bigwigs left.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! You guys, don't go! Jiang Zai is taking over today, let's celebrate together!" Thirteen Sister called out to Prince, Brother Ji, Han Bin, and the others.

"I've been in meetings all day and I'm starving. It's great that someone's treating us, haha!" Brother Ji joked loudly when he heard what Thirteen Sister said.

The Crown Prince and Han Bin exchanged a smile.

"Congratulations, Jiang!" The prince walked up to Jiang Lai with a smile and put his arm around Jiang Lai's shoulder.

"It's thanks to the Crown Prince's help!" Jiang Lai replied with a smile.

"Alright, let's go, let's go, it's on me, the Grand Fortune Restaurant!" Thirteen Sister waved to the crowd and said.

Haha!

The group arrived at the restaurant with smiles on their faces. In addition to the big shots, Thirteen Sister also notified some brothers from the gang, and about ten tables were filled with people.

For a time, people kept coming over to toast Jiang Lai, and Jiang Lai accepted them all.

After dinner, Thirteen Sister arranged for everyone to go to her socialite nightclub, where she invited several big shots to continue drinking and dancing.

Inside the nightclub, deafening music, accompanied by intense drumbeats, stirred up the restlessness in people's hearts.

A boisterous crowd raising their glasses, alluring and sexy women weaving through the dance floor, and young, wild men with glasses in hand—all freely venting their pent-up emotions under the lights.

Brother Ji could no longer contain his inner turmoil. He embraced a lady on the dance floor and wildly twisted his body. The prince also danced the cha-cha with a pretty woman.

Han Bin held a glass of red wine, intending to sit quietly next to Thirteen Sister, but Thirteen Sister dismissed him, saying he was an eyesore. He could only silently go to the bar and look at the brightly lit dance floor.

In fact, he knew that Thirteen Sister deliberately sent him away because she needed to tell Jiang something privately.

"Jiang Zi!" Thirteen Sister raised her wine glass to Jiang Lai in greeting.

Jiang Lai smiled slightly and raised his glass in return, "Cheers!"

“Sometimes, looking at you, you really don’t seem like a gangster!” Thirteen Sister took a deep drag of her cigarette, slowly exhaled, and then said to Jiang.

Jiang Lai shrugged, indicating his helplessness.

Jiang Lai always liked to wear white suits, and he had a refined appearance with no messy tattoos, so he didn't look like someone who was involved in organized crime.

"We've benefited greatly from taking over Dongxing and Lianhe's territory this time, and you deserve a lot of credit for that. Come on, let me toast you again!" Thirteen Sister looked at Jiang Lai, poured him another drink with satisfaction, and then said.

"Don't say that, Sister, it's all I should do!" Jiang Lai didn't take credit for it. Instead, he clinked glasses with Thirteen Sister in a low-key manner and said in a calm tone.

"I was so lucky to have taken you as a follower!" Thirteen Sister said with a laugh, recalling the scene when she met Jiang Lai.

"How about it? Not a bad deal, right? Hehe!" Jiang Lai joked.

"No loss, no loss, we've made a killing, haha!" Thirteen Sister laughed loudly with joy.

After laughing for a while, Thirteen Sister stopped laughing and then asked Jiang Lai more formally:

"Now that you've become a 'red pole' (a position within the Party), what are your thoughts?"

"Me? I don't care. I'll just follow the boss's arrangements!" Jiang Lai knew what Thirteen Sister was talking about.

Previously, Jiang Lai, as a former 49er, would go to whichever venue needed manpower.

But now that he's become a "red pole" (a high-ranking official in the entertainment industry), Thirteen Sister will entrust him with managing some venues. Whether it's recruiting staff or running businesses, he can arrange everything himself. Just make sure he pays the required amount each month!

When Thirteen Sister asked him this question, she meant to ask him if he had a venue he wanted.

If this resource accidentally infringes upon your rights, please notify us and delete it in time.

"Hmm!" Thirteen Sister was not surprised when she heard Jiang Lai's answer; she knew Jiang Lai's personality.

After a moment's thought, Thirteen Sister spoke up: "This time, we've taken over the territory of Tung Sing and United. More than 70% of the venues in Mong Kok are ours, and we also have a few venues on Nathan Road and Temple Street."

He paused for a moment, then continued:

"Dongxing and Lianhe together own 2 hotels, 6 bars, 4 nightclubs, 8 gambling dens, 5 saunas, and some foot massage parlors and brothels," Thirteen Sister told them about her haul.

Jiang Lai didn't say anything, but listened quietly to what Thirteen Sister had to say, occasionally taking a sip of red wine.

“You’ve never really liked the business on Portland Street. How about I give you half of the places we’ve taken over?” Thirteen Sister said to Jiang.

"Sister, let's skip the noodle stall and the foot massage parlor!" Jiang Lai said.

"Hehe, you little rascal, alright then!" Thirteen Sister shook her head after hearing this.

"I'll give you some instructions later. From now on, those venues will be in your hands!" Thirteen Sister said.

After Thirteen Sister finished speaking, Jiang Lai stood up, raised his glass, and toasted her, saying, "Thank you, Boss!"

It has to be said that Thirteen Sister is really good to Jiang Lai. All these places combined bring in several million a month.

As for foot massage parlors and noodle stalls, it wasn't that Jiang Lai was aloof, but rather that he had no interest in either.

"Alright, sit down, you rascal!" Seeing that Jiang Lai had no objections, Thirteen Sister smiled, took out a cigarette and tossed it to Jiang Lai, saying this to him.

Jiang Lai didn't stand on ceremony and lit the cigarette, taking a deep drag.

Having come into this world, I finally have some foothold.

"Also, there's 500 million in this card, you can have it!" With that, Thirteen Sister took out another bank card from her bosom and tossed it to Jiang Lai.

"Sister, what's this?" Jiang Lai looked at Thirteen Sister with some confusion.

"First, this is what you deserve. Second, you'll be a big shot in the future; whether it's recruiting followers or settling disputes, you'll need money everywhere."

Thirteen Sister paused for a moment, then continued:

"However, that's all I have now, Sister. I can't give you any more!" Thirteen Sister smiled at Jiang Lai, jokingly saying this in a relaxed manner.

Listening to Thirteen Sister's words, Jiang Lai looked at the bank card in his hand again, his mind filled with many thoughts. Originally, Jiang Lai always felt out of place in this world, but now it seemed that he had some more ties.

Jiang Lai knew that Thirteen Sister wasn't exactly well-off right now. Although she had acquired a lot of territory, she hadn't started to profit from it yet. This money was probably Thirteen Sister's life savings.

In this dog-eat-dog society, how many big shots can do what Thirteen Sister did? Jiang Lai couldn't believe it.

"What, you think it's not enough?" Thirteen Sister asked when Jiang Lai remained silent for a long time.

Jiang Lai gave a wry smile, shook his head, and then slowly said, "Sister, with me here, no one will be able to touch you in the future!"

"Haha, great!" Thirteen Sister was overjoyed and picked up her wine glass to clink glasses with Jiang Lai.

Jiang Lai didn't put on any pretense. He picked up his wine glass, clinked it with Thirteen Sister's, and downed it in one gulp.

"What are you talking about, laughing so happily!" After having a good time, Brother Ji walked to the booth without caring about his image, picked up a glass of wine, gulped it down, and then asked Thirteen Sister and Jiang Lai.

Thirteen Sister and Jiang Lai exchanged a smile, but did not reply. Instead, they picked up their wine glasses and gestured for Brother Ji to have another drink!

Chapter 22 Bullshit

Jiang moved; to be precise, he moved out of a tiny rented room of just a few square meters on Portland Street.

Thirteen Sister allocated half of the territory of Tung Sing and United to Jiang Lai.

Jiang Lai's venues are mostly located on Tongcai Street, so he simply bought a house there. It's not a luxury house, just a simple two-bedroom apartment with an area of ​​over 70 square meters.

The house wasn't big, but it was very clean; the neighbors had cleaned it for him.

Jiang Lai's neighbor is an elderly woman around seventy years old. Although she has a full head of white hair, she is very energetic.

On the day he moved in, he saw the old lady moving things. The things were very heavy, and the old lady was having some difficulty moving them, so he went up to help her.

As a token of gratitude, the old woman invited him to stay for a meal. The meal was simple, but Jiang Lai ate his fill.

This simple yet warm feeling reminded him of his grandmother, and he really liked it.

The old lady learned that he had just moved in, so she took the initiative to help him clean his house.

Through his conversation with the old woman, Jiang Lai also learned that her son used to be a gangster and was accidentally killed. Her daughter-in-law also remarried, leaving the old woman and her granddaughter to depend on each other.

The old lady's granddaughter is named Zhenzhen. She is exactly eighteen years old this year. Jiang Lai has only been here for a few days and I have only seen her once. She is a very pretty girl and seems to have a quiet personality.

Although Jiang Lai has been living here for a few days, he is often away from home because he needs to make arrangements for each venue and communicate with the owners of some venues.

But every time he came back, the old lady would greet him.

Compared to before on Portland Street.

To be honest, Jiang Lai prefers the atmosphere of Tung Choi Street. Unlike the nights on Po Lan Street, it is full of life, with all kinds of stalls and vendors on both sides of the street.
