Chapter 004 Guess what? Han Chen and Zhong Buzhong are raising a useless person?
The finance company's office wasn't spacious, but its layout had a certain elegance.
Chen Piao walked into the office, where Lin Huaile was already sitting on the sofa, having brewed a pot of hot tea.
His expression was warm and friendly; he neither put on airs nor showed excessive enthusiasm towards Chen Piao.
"Sit down. You're Daozai Piao?"
I heard from others that in that area of Yaodidao, no one dares to cause trouble at any of the places you frequent!
"Brother Le is joking. It's Ni Jiaduo who's involved; I'm just benefiting from it."
After exchanging greetings, Chen Piao sat down on the sofa opposite Lin Huaile.
After taking a sip of hot tea, Chen Piao naturally got straight to the point.
"Don't laugh at me, Brother Le, but now that the Ni family has fallen from grace, I'm here today to pay my respects."
After much thought, I realized I had made too many enemies in Tsim Sha Tsui, so no matter who I voted for, I should vote for Wo Luen Shing instead.
I hope Brother Lok will give me a chance; maybe I can help him carve out a territory in Tsim Sha Tsui!
Lin Huaiyue narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not respond to Chen Piao's words.
"With our combined strength and numbers, it's only a matter of time before we establish a foothold in Tsim Sha Tsui!"
A leader should naturally act like a leader. He is currently in a predicament and needs someone who is well-connected in Tsim Sha Tsui to come to his rescue, so that he can at least avoid spending a lot of money unnecessarily.
But he couldn't lower himself too much in front of Chen Piao; some things had to be said by Chen Piao himself.
Chen Piao naturally understood Lin Huaile's meaning. He didn't say much, but immediately pointed out the problem Lin Huaile was facing.
"In the entire Tsim Sha Tsui area, just the appearance fees for dance halls, saunas, bars, and nightclubs can bring in more than ten million every month."
Brother Lok, if you want to establish Wo Luen Shing in Tsim Sha Tsui, you can't just rely on fighting with other triads.
If you hit me today and I hit you tomorrow, and the fighting goes on until the business in the establishment collapses, the bosses behind the scenes will get angry, and then the police will have to step in.
Wo Luen Shing has no roots in Tsim Sha Tsui. When the police try to maintain order, Wo Luen Shing will definitely not get any advantage!
Chen Piao paused for a moment, and seeing that Lin Huai Le didn't respond, he added.
"I believe that with the combined strength of the nine districts of Hopewell and Union, it's not impossible for them to plant a flag in Tsim Sha Tsui."
But Brother Le should know how much he'll have to pay.
Brother Lok, why don't you take care of the owners of a few nightclubs in Tsim Sha Tsui first, and have Luen Shing keep the place in check while waiting for people to come and attack, turning the tables and taking the initiative?
After a few rounds of beatings, they won people over, and the business owners in Tsim Sha Tsui trusted Wo Luen Shing. So, the flag was planted naturally.
Lin Huai-le's eyes lit up: "Which bosses in Tsim Sha Tsui can you handle?"
"Thanks to the Ni family's patronage, I worked at a karaoke bar in Tsim Sha Tsui for three years and was fortunate enough to meet the two bosses a few times."
One of them is Mr. Fong, the owner of Tsim Sha Tsui Harbour Plaza, and the other is Mr. Liao, the owner of The City That Never Sleeps.
"If we can win over these two bosses and persuade them to let Wo Luen Shing manage these two establishments, as long as we can keep things peaceful, Wo Luen Shing will naturally gain a foothold in Tsim Sha Tsui in the future!"
A slight smile finally appeared on Lin Huai Le's lips.
"Knife Boy, if you can handle these two bosses, and as long as Wo Shing Wo establishes itself in Tsim Sha Tsui, I'll immediately promote you to Red Pole!"
"So, does that mean Brother Le agrees to me becoming his son's wife?"
"Agreed? Why wouldn't I agree? Everyone knows how badly you, Knife Boy, used to hang around in Tsim Sha Tsui. You're coming to me to join me, that's giving me face!"
Lin Huaiyue raised his teacup and gestured to Chen Piao as he spoke.
"I know you work for the Ni family and don't like those formalities, so you can skip all the door-to-door ceremony and initiation ceremony."
Leave Ah Ze's phone number later. Write down a list of all your brothers and I'll register them directly in the Wo Luen Shing Registry.
Wishing you great success in Tsim Sha Tsui, and may you maintain your prestige for another century!
Compared to Huang Zhicheng's empty promises, Lin Huai Le clearly knows how to tailor his approach to different people.
He knew that talking to himself in a roundabout way was useless, so he simply offered the promise of a red stick, exempting him from all the trivial matters, and just waiting for Chen Piao to go to Tsim Sha Tsui to start work.
Having said all that, there was nothing more to say, so Chen Piao stood up.
"Brother Lok, so from now on, I, Chen Piao, will be working in Tsim Sha Tsui under the Wo Luen Shing brand?"
Lin Huaiyue smiled slightly: "Let me add one more thing: as long as we can get those two bosses on our side, it doesn't matter if you mention my name!"
"Tell them that the person in charge of Wo Shing Wo fully supports you, so those bosses don't need to worry."
……
On the way back to Tsim Sha Tsui, Shark couldn't help but ask questions while driving.
"Brother Piao, since the visit went so smoothly, did Wo Shing offer you any special gifts or rewards?"
"The Wo Luen Shing company is all show and no substance. The leader, Lok Siu, is so poor he's practically penniless. What kind of lucky charm could he possibly give me?"
They're just giving us a name to work for; we still have to earn our own money!
Chen Piao leaned back lazily in his seat and then called out.
"Let's go to the Never Sleeps area in Yaodidao first. That bastard Chili is now with Han Chen, and I heard he's already negotiating a new round of appearance fees with Liao Sheng."
That bastard has gone too far! This time I'll teach him a lesson he'll never be able to hold his head high in front of me again!
The car quickly drove into the tunnel area, the area of the city that never sleeps, where the nightclubs had long since closed.
But these days, land on Hong Kong Island is incredibly valuable, and land prices in Tsim Sha Tsui are astronomical.
Liao Zhifu, the owner of the Never-Sleeping City, spent 80 million yuan on renovations alone after taking over such a large establishment. Naturally, he couldn't let such a large entertainment complex lie dormant during the day.
As a result, the city that never sleeps is filled with revelry at night, and during the day it also operates a sauna and barbershop business, making the most of its resources.
It was just past 9:30 a.m., and the female masseuses were already starting to enter and begin their work.
After parking his car at the entrance, the valet parking attendants, who were all old acquaintances of Chen Piao, didn't ask him for parking fees and drove the car into the underground garage.
They entered the city that never sleeps with ease, and led Shark Boy down the elevator to the eighth floor. The office on the south side was Liao Zhifu's office.
As a busy boss, Liao Zhifu doesn't come to the City That Never Sleeps often, but this time he did Chen Piao a favor and agreed to meet him at 10 a.m.
Shark Boy did not enter the office with Chen Piao. Earlier at the front desk, Chen Piao had told him to get a fake badge and go to the sauna on the sixth floor.
Under Shi's guidance, Chen Piao sat in the office for a while and waited. Seeing that there were still more than ten minutes left before ten o'clock, he simply picked up a newspaper and started reading.
The newspapers on the coffee table seemed to have been prepared in advance on purpose; they were old papers from the day before yesterday.
The headline read: "Ni Yongxiao takes hostages and is shot dead in the street by O-Division officers."
It seemed to be a reminder to Chen Piao that the Ni family was gone, and he should carefully consider whether he was qualified to be a spectator at the Never-Sleeping City.
bang-
Just as Chen Piao was about to put down the newspaper, the door was pushed open.
Upon closer inspection, he realized that the person who came was not Liao Zhifu, but Chili, the man he had just drunk with the night before as a last-minute farewell drink.
Chili stood at the door and was clearly taken aback when she saw Chen Piao, but she quickly came to her senses.
"Brother Piao, you've arrived quite early. But it's a pity that without the Ni family's backing, I'm afraid Mr. Liao won't be so keen on supporting you continuing to work here!"
After saying that, he walked casually to the sofa, sat down, and threw a box of Davidoff coffee out of his pocket, slamming it heavily onto the coffee table.
"Want one? I've been following you for over two years, and I haven't even bought a box of these to try!"
Chen Piao turned to look at the chili pepper.
"I heard that as soon as you got back last night, you had someone call Mr. Liao to say that you would be taking over the theater business at Never Sleeps from now on?"
"What else? You don't think you can still protect this place even if the Ni family is gone, do you?"
Since things have already turned ugly, Chili decided to stop pretending.
Now that he's become Han Chen's disciple, he feels he doesn't need to care about Chen Piao's reputation in the Yaodidao area.
Rising to power by stepping on the head of his former boss, it must feel incredibly prestigious!
Chen Piao responded with a cold laugh.
"Amazing! With Han Chen backing you up, even Liao Sheng has to give you some face. Truly remarkable!"
Chili pulled out a cigarette and lit it herself.
He then exhaled a puff of smoke, which actually hit Chen Piao's face.
"That's amazing, of course. I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. Now it's no wonder I'm raising my voice in front of you!"
"You said last night that we were severing all ties, and if you tried to cause trouble, I would kill you without hesitation. So please don't try to act like some big shot in front of me anymore!"
Chen Piao wiped his face, then slowly stood up.
The look in his eyes as he looked at the chili peppers had become more fierce.
"Chili, do you think Han Chenzhong would like to support a useless person?"
Chili then realized that she had overdone it, and when she met Chen Piao's gaze, she felt a bit timid and wary.
"What...what do you mean?"
You need to understand, I'm Han Chen's man now. If you touch me... ah—"
Before Chili could finish speaking, Chen Piao was already in a frenzy.
He reached out with his left hand and grabbed Chili's wrist as she was holding the cigarette. Before Chili could react, his right hand grabbed Chili's arm and twisted it forcefully to the left and right. With a crisp crack, he actually broke Chili's right arm.
Chili was in so much pain that she almost fainted, and a fine layer of cold sweat had already appeared on her forehead.
He almost instinctively thought of getting up and running away, but Chen Piao did not give up.
"Don't worry, I won't let blood be shed on Liao Sheng's territory."
With his five fingers spread apart, Chen Piao pressed Chili's head down and then forced Chili, who had gotten up, back onto the sofa. Due to the momentum, Chili stretched out her legs.
Chen Piao had already raised his right foot high, and his foot landed precisely on Chili's left kneecap.
The kick was incredibly powerful, and with another crisp sound, Chili's left leg was completely bent backward at the knee. With a muffled groan, he immediately lost consciousness.
"Fuck you, without me, you'd still be training Spanner in the repair shop right now."
"Just because you got a couple of advantages from Han Chen, you dare to talk back to me like that?"
Looking at Chili lying on the sofa like a dead dog, Chen Piao clapped his hands and was about to turn around and sit down when he saw Liao Zhifu standing at the office door at some point.
Looking at Chen Piao in front of him, his eyes were filled with disbelief and astonishment.
