Chapter 205: Abnormal Emotions and Unscrupulousness
After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, he said with narrowed eyes, "Qiangzi, you are a good businessman. Is there any good business that is suitable for the entire society to do together? If there is such a way to make money, I can..."
As he spoke, Xiyan smiled awkwardly at Lu Yongqiang, and he himself felt a little embarrassed.
If Lu Yongqiang had a good way to make money, especially if it wasn't illegal, why would he tell others about it, or why would he bring others along to make money...
Lu Yongqiang had some guesses about Xiyan's identity, but he didn't think much of it. After Xiyan finished speaking, he took the initiative to speak and resolve Xiyan's embarrassment.
"Brother Xiyan, there are probably 30,000 to 40,000 people on the roster of our Hongxing. If you add the peripheral members, I'm afraid there are 100,000 people who rely on the Hongxing brand for their livelihood.
I have the ability, but 100,000 people? I really don't have that ability."
At this point, Lu Yongqiang hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Brother Xiyan, if we want to lead the entire Hongxing back on the right path, relying on one or two people is useless. We need everyone's joint efforts."
"Qiangzi, what you mean is that Jiang Tiansheng can't clear the name of the entire society?" As he said that, Xiyan put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked at Lu Yongqiang with a sharp gaze.
Lu Yongqiang nodded and said, "Jiang Tiansheng is ambitious and capable, but he is also selfish and narrow-minded. He has no tolerance for others.
Jiang Tiansheng wanted to whitewash the entire society, but he alone did not have the ability to do so. He obviously needed like-minded people to work together. However, with Jiang Tiansheng's narrow mind, whoever stood out would be in trouble.
This is equivalent to a vicious circle, Brother Xiyan, do you think that with this vicious circle, Jiang Tiansheng can whitewash the entire society?"
After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, his eyes fell into deep thought, with his head down thinking about things, while Lu Yongqiang poured himself a drink and ate and drank his fill first. This roadside stall didn't look big, but the owner's cooking skills were really good.
When Lu Yongqiang was almost full, Xiyan suddenly said, "Qiangzi, Xiaoxia's cooking skills are pretty good, right? It seems like you really like her cooking."
Xiyan's sudden remark made Lu Yongqiang stunned for a moment, and then he said casually: "It's really good! Sister Xiaoxia's cooking suits my taste."
"Qiangzi, since it suits your taste, I'll let Xiaoxia open a shop in Tuen Mun. Please take care of her business in the future."
"Ah!" Lu Yongqiang said in surprise: "Brother Xiyan, although I think Sister Xiaoxia's cooking suits my taste, opening a store in Tuen Mun is a bit far-fetched..."
"Qiangzi, don't worry. I didn't have any bad intentions when I asked Xiaoxia to open a shop in Tuen Mun." As he said that, he turned his head and glanced at the proprietress who was packing up her things, and then continued, "I heard that the security in your area has always been good, Qiangzi, and few people dare to cause trouble in your area.
Xiaoxia runs a night market business, which is inherently unsafe. Although I can take care of her in Kowloon City, it's still too chaotic. I'm afraid my staff might be careless and something might go wrong. So I want Xiaoxia to do business somewhere relatively safer."
After Xiyan finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang did not say anything.
How should I put it? It's true that there are very few people causing trouble in Lu Yongqiang's territory, but it's not that no one does. It's just that compared to other places, it's relatively less.
The relationship between the proprietress and Xiyan seems to be very complicated. If something happens one day, there will be no way to explain to Xiyan.
Seeing that Lu Yongqiang didn't say anything, Xiyan seemed to have guessed Lu Yongqiang's concerns and said, "Qiangzi, don't think too much. Letting Xiaoxia go to Tuen Mun to do business doesn't mean that her safety is left to you, Qiangzi. You just need to take care of her for my sake. I will arrange for people to protect Xiaoxia. Even if something happens to her one day, it will definitely not be blamed on you, Qiangzi."
After Xiyan said this, what else could Lu Yongqiang say? He hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Xiyan, since you said so, then you can make the arrangements! After Sister Xiaoxia arrives in Tuen Mun, I will tell my men to take good care of Sister Xiaoxia."
At this point, Lu Yongqiang couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Brother Xiyan, this isn't my sister-in-law, is it?"
Xiyan's expression changed slightly, he shook his head and said, "Qiangzi, you don't have to guess blindly, Xiaoxia is my brother's wife, and the wife of my best brother."
Xiyan did not explain the relationship between the two in detail, and Lu Yongqiang did not ask any more questions.
Lu Yongqiang glanced at the watch on his wrist and said, "Brother Xiyan, it's almost twelve o'clock. We have a meeting tomorrow morning. How about I leave first?"
Xiyan nodded and said, "Okay! See you tomorrow at Zhongyi Hall!"
…………
The next morning, Lu Yongqiang took Dadong, Duxie, and Ma Xiaobao to Zhongyi Hall. Now that Lu Yongqiang was the leader of Tuen Mun, he planned to recommend these three people to become Tuen Mun's red sticks, white paper fans, and straw sandals.
Lu Yongqiang discussed with his men and decided that, logically, Poison Scorpion should be upgraded to the red stick, Lu Yongheng should be upgraded to the white paper fan, and Luo Tianhong should be upgraded to the straw sandals. After all, these three people had made the greatest contributions all along.
However, it is not a good thing for the food company that Lu Yongheng is in charge of to have too high a status in the community.
Luo Tianhong is now a bit like the number one killer under Lu Yongqiang. He is responsible for managing the hundreds of core brothers. Therefore, it is not suitable for Luo Tianhong to show up too much in public, nor is it suitable for him to have too high a status in the society. What he needs now is to be low-key enough, and it would be best if he could hide behind the scenes.
So after thinking about it, Lu Yongqiang simply recommended Poison Scorpion as the red stick, Ma Xiaobao as the white paper fan, and Dadong as the straw sandals.
Anyway, with Lu Yongqiang's control over his subordinates, once he made a decision, his subordinates had to keep their ideas to themselves and no one dared to object.
When Lu Yongqiang brought his men to Zhongyi Hall, many leaders of the smaller branches had already arrived, including four of the main leaders, namely Da Fei, Fatty Li, Wuliang, and Taizi.
When Lu Yongqiang arrived, Wuliang, Fatty Li and Taizi were talking together, while Dafei was sitting alone on the side.
Seeing Lu Yongqiang enter the room, Dafei's eyes lit up and he stood up and went to greet Lu Yongqiang.
"Aqiang, you're here! That's great!"
While greeting Lu Yongqiang, Dafei gave Lu Yongqiang a hug with some excitement.
Lu Yongqiang pushed Dafei away and said with some disdain, "Dafei, you're already the boss, you should pay a little attention to your image. It's so unkempt that you keep looking so shabby. You should keep a distance from me. I don't want to be embarrassed along with you."
Da Fei didn't care about Lu Yongqiang's disgust at all. He grabbed Lu Yongqiang and refused to let go, muttering in a low voice: "A Qiang, you came at the right time. The damn unscrupulous guy deliberately isolated me. I was so embarrassed just now. Don't let this bastard drag you away again." As he spoke, he pulled Lu Yongqiang to the conference table.
Under Da Fei's attentive service, Lu Yongqiang had just sat down when Wuliang, who was sitting across the conference table, said, "Qiangzi, come here and sit over here. Let's chat together."
Lu Yongqiang glanced at Wuliang, then at Dafei beside him, and said with a smile: "Brother Wuliang, please wait a moment. I have something to say to Dafei. I will be there soon."
Lu Yongqiang's words were already polite enough. No matter whether it was Dafei or Wuliang, Lu Yongqiang didn't want to offend either side, so he thought of giving Dafei some face first and chatting with Dafei for a while, and then going to talk to Wuliang for a few more words. This could be regarded as giving Wuliang face and not offending him.
Unexpectedly, just as Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Wuliang flipped the table. He said coldly, "Qiangzi, what do you mean? Are you not going to give me Wuliang face?"
Wuliang's words left Lu Yongqiang feeling a bit unhappy. Although he was unhappy, he still didn't want to offend Wuliang, so he suppressed his anger and said, "Brother Wuliang, how can I say I don't give you face? I really have something to talk to Dafei about. After we finish talking, I will go over and chat with Brother Wuliang immediately."
Some people just take advantage of their age, or are shameless. After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Wuliang became even more aggressive and said, "Qiangzi, if you give me face, then come over and chat with me for a while. If you don't plan to come now, don't come over later."
As Wuliang finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang's expression changed immediately. He looked at Wuliang and said in a cold voice, "Wuliang, are you fucking threatening me?"
Before Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Wuliang was furious. He stood up, kicked the chair behind him, and was about to yell at Lu Yongqiang.
But at this moment, Fatty Li grabbed Wuliang and said, "Wuliang, Qiangzi, this is Zhongyi Hall. What are you doing? Are you planning to have a fight in Zhongyi Hall? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the younger brothers below?"
After being persuaded and pulled by Fatty Li, Wuliang sat down again. However, after sitting down, although he did not say anything, he glared at Lu Yongqiang fiercely.
Seeing Wuliang like this, Lu Yongqiang was somewhat surprised. He asked in a low voice, "Dafei, what's wrong with Wuliang? Did you dig up his ancestors' graves or sleep with his wife? Why are you so irritable today?"
Da Fei smiled bitterly and said, "I'm wondering too. When I first came here today, Wuliang treated me with indifference. I greeted him, but he ignored me. Then the prince came over, and as soon as I said a few words to him, he immediately took him away."
After Da Fei finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang turned his head and looked at Wuliang again, and began to think in his heart.
Lu Yongqiang had only met Wuliang a few times and had hardly spoken to him.
In previous gang meetings, Wuliang was always silent, rarely speaking. Among the twelve leaders, he had the lowest presence. But today, this person was acting out of character, with such a violent temper, like a completely different person. Wasn't this a bit too much?
Also, the old guy's behavior last night was not right, but because he was not familiar with him, Lu Yongqiang did not think much about it. But given the situation today, it is hard for Lu Yongqiang not to think too much about it?
