Hong Kong variety show: Hung Hing, are you contributing to society?

Lin Yaodong thought to himself: "They used to call me a 'Hung Hing gangster,' a 'triad member,' and a 'gangster,' cursing and swearing, refusing to associate with me, and even setting their dogs on me..."

Now I've transformed into a Causeway Bay district councilor, and I'm even giving you a house. The "gangster" label has instantly changed to "Mr. Lam"...

Little Sweetie and Mrs. Cow were absolutely right...

Lin Yaodong was naturally happy to see the other party so eager to make friends.

He smiled and said, "Mr. Johnson is right, this is a matter of fate."

Johnson, clearly oblivious to the implication, laughed heartily, "Hahaha~~ This is all thanks to Mr. Lin's outstanding contributions to Hong Kong!"

"Hehe~~ No one has made as many contributions as Mr. Johnson~~" Lin Yaodong said with a smile.

The two then engaged in a back-and-forth exchange of boasts, much like a game of Tai Chi.

Lin Yaodong said, "The banquet is about to begin, let's go upstairs first."

Johnson nodded: "Okay."

The manager led the way, and the two walked side by side ahead.

Jiang Xin, Xiao Fu, Gao Jin, and the others followed behind, their eyes filled with strange expressions as they watched Lin Yaodong's retreating figure.

Yesterday, Lin Yaodong invited Johnson to a banquet. After Johnson accepted, Lin Yaodong immediately instructed Gao Jin and Xiao Fu to devise a plan to deal with Johnson, including investigating his dirty laundry.

This seemingly respectable police commissioner had been thoroughly investigated, uncovering how much dirty money he had taken and how many mistresses he had kept.

But all I know is that securing evidence is the most troublesome part.

Lin Yaodong had tried to contact Johnson before, but was rejected each time. Back then, Lin Yaodong would curse out loud.

The two were now chatting and laughing, even though it was their first time meeting, they acted like old friends who had known each other for years.

The same thought popped into their minds at the same time: they still needed to learn more from Brother Dong.

The elevator quickly reached the second floor.

As soon as the door opened and Lin Yaodong stepped into the banquet hall, a beam of light shone on him.

This was a pre-arranged segment, and Johnson, given his sensitive position, very appropriately stepped aside.

"Here it comes, here it comes."

"Mr. Lin has arrived."

Lin Yaodong's appearance immediately attracted the attention of everyone who had arrived.

Under the spotlight, he wore a well-tailored dark suit, and behind his gold-rimmed glasses, he wore a perfectly appropriate smile.

"Mr. Lin! Good evening."

"Mr. Lin."

"Mr. Lin..."

Amidst the rising and falling greetings, Lin Yaodong nodded in response to each one.

His gaze swept across the banquet hall, and he saw many familiar faces.

Reporter Wen Huixin, the woman who's always looking to dig up big news; host Hai Mimi, whose figure is more eye-catching than her name; Shao Daheng, a media mogul; stock manager Wang Xia, who helped me a lot in the stock market last time.

Lin Yaodong also reciprocated, sharing his knowledge generously.

The police officers on the other side: Situ Jie, Zhang Wenyao, He Wenzhan, Qiu Gangao...

Club friends Crow, He Yong...

It's worth mentioning that Lin Yaodong invited Brother Da Sha, but Brother Da Sha declined Lin Yaodong's invitation, saying he had important business to discuss that night.

There were also executives from their own companies, Chen Yongren, Su Jianqiu, and Zhou Xingxing. Standing together, they created a rare harmonious scene.

Many business tycoons also came, and representatives from the four major families of Hong Kong Island were sent. Although those who came may not be the heads of the families, the fact that they sent people is itself a gesture of goodwill.

"Good evening, Ms. Wen." Lin Yaodong walked up to Wen Huixin and nodded slightly.

Wen Huixin smiled and raised her glass: "Mr. Lin is the star of the night, so please go ahead and get busy. Don't bother us."

"Good evening, Miss Hai." Lin Yaodong then turned to Hai Mimi.

Hai Mimi's eyes sparkled: "Mr. Lin looks so handsome tonight~ You promised to treat me to dinner, but I haven't heard back in so long..."

"Next time for sure, next time for sure..." Lin Yaodong smiled, his hand brushing against hers as he passed by.

Hai Mimi smiled and responded, hooking her finger around Lin Yaodong's until he walked away.

Damn it, you vixen~ My woman went abroad, perfect timing to restock!

Tonight you can eat your fill...

Lin Yaodong continued walking forward.

At a table on the side of the banquet hall, members of Hung Hing had also arrived.

The dinosaur looked at Lin Yaodong, who was surrounded by everyone, with envy: "Ah Dong is awesome~~"

Uncle Hing nodded with pride: "Of course, not just in our Hung Hing, he's the only triad in Hong Kong with such achievements..."

"Yes, yes~~"

Fatty Li squinted his small eyes, thinking to himself: Once the voting starts in a few days, A-Dong will be a councilor.

When Ah Dong becomes a high-ranking official, I'll ask him to pave the way for my art magazine business... He's thinking about art magazines, but everyone knows what kind of business he's actually in.

Shengfan flexed his muscles, secretly vowing: One day, I will be just like Lin Yaodong.

The reason he had this misconception was entirely because of the previous dispute with Lam Yiu-tung over the position of Mong Kok gang leader.

Although Shengfan admitted defeat, he regarded Lin Yaodong as someone on the same level at that time.

This illusion made him feel that he could reach the same level as Lin Yaodong.

...

"Dong-ge is so awesome~~"

In the corner, Baopi looked on with envy at Lin Yaodong, who was surrounded by everyone.

You should know that the people who are now following Lin Yaodong usually don't even give these gangsters a second glance.

They are able to appear at the same banquet now entirely thanks to Lin Yaodong.

Despite having such a good opportunity, Bao Pi and Da Tian Er were squatting there drinking alone, not daring to go forward.

Their eldest brother, Chan Ho-nam, was the same, holding a glass of red wine and staring in Lin Yao-tung's direction, seemingly lost in thought.

"Brother Nan, shall we go over to Brother Dong's place too?" Da Tian Er asked tentatively.

Baopi also looked at Chen Haonan.

Chan Ho-nam was silent for a moment, then shook his head, his voice somewhat low: "Ah... Brother Tung is entertaining guests, it's not appropriate for us to go over..."

Lin Yaodong saw Emperor Jiaqing sitting at a table in front of the stage.

There were also several young men around Emperor Jiaqing, all of whom had an extraordinary air about them.

Lin Yaodong said to the people around him, "You guys chat first, I'm going to say hello to my friends," and then walked towards the table with his wine glass.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Xin immediately grabbed a bottle of champagne and followed behind him.

"Oh! I thought Mr. Lin was too busy to come over and say hello." Before Lin Yaodong even got close, Jiaqing spoke first, his tone tinged with a hint of teasing.

Lin Yaodong approached with a smile: "Young Master Jia, what are you saying? We can't afford to slight anyone but you."

As he spoke, his gaze swept over the other six people.

Five young men in their twenties, each dressed in a flashy suit in various colors including red, blue, and white.

He wore an expensive watch on his wrist, his hair was neatly combed, and his leather shoes were shiny. He was clearly not from an ordinary family... Just like those spendthrift playboys on TV.

There's also a girl...
