Chapter 9: The New Leader of the Green Bamboo Gang
After following Lao Jiuzi around the Qihua Building, Li Xiang had a preliminary understanding of this sales bank, which was well-known throughout Beibo City.
The first order he issued when he took office was not to amend the system or to spread the pie, but...
"This table, chairs, carpet, cushions...all were replaced by me, a whole new set."
"And the teapots and silks over there, all have to be removed!"
With his hands behind his back, Li Xiang looked at the luxurious room with a critical eye. Martial arts training is a boring thing. Diet, sleep, and training intensity must be strictly controlled.
Daily practice is hard enough. In terms of material things, he naturally wants to satisfy himself as much as possible.
Whether it is human beings or other creatures, they all have limits. If they exceed that limit, they will collapse. Therefore, for the sake of balance, he does what he wants as much as possible in other matters besides practicing martial arts.
Maybe in the eyes of others, this is arrogance and lust, but why should he care about the eyes of others?
Just follow your own path. If others want to say something, let them say it... Big deal, kill all the gossipers!
His eyes were sharp, and he glanced at the old Jiuzi who was about to speak inadvertently, with a strong warning meaning.
"yes."
Facing her new immediate boss, Lao Jiuzi lowered her head and did not dare to refute. Although she was a little distressed that the furniture and decorations were newly purchased and extremely expensive, the situation was stronger than others, so she could only do what the other party ordered.
.
As the general manager of Qihua Building, she actually holds a certain share of the shares. When the money earned by the girls is divided, part of it will flow into her pocket.
And those tables, chairs, teapots, decorations and mattresses are obviously office supplies and are deducted from public funds. In this conversion, the benefits she can get will be damaged. Add the emperor and the courtiers, and now
With the Qingzhu Gang in charge, her gains were much lower than during the Santanhui period.
Over and over again, life becomes more and more difficult.
After sending away the old Jiuzi, Li Xiang wandered around the fifth floor alone. Of course, he knew that his performance was too strong and would cause dissatisfaction among the old Qihualou men, but the Qingzhu Gang was an outsider, and he was brought here by the Qingzhu Gang.
Big boss.
If you want your next work to go smoothly, you must first suppress these remnants of the Santanhui and let these people realize who has the final say here.
In conjunction with the previous killing of chickens as a warning to monkeys, he has eliminated many diehards who dared to resist head-on. It can be said that he has basically taken control of the industry in his hands.
"I have to find a way to make more money. The share the Qingzhu Gang gives me is limited, and it won't be available until the end of the year."
"By that time, the day lilies will be cold."
Looking down from the window, he could see the endless flow of people on the street. Li Xiang's face was calm, but he already had an idea in his heart.
Although he was a little surprised to take charge of Qihualou, a rich and fertile place, becoming the big boss was within his expectation. At most, his promotion speed would be faster than he imagined.
He originally thought that Zuo Lengchan would have to rub some time with the old guys in the gang, but he didn't expect that his matter would be settled so quickly.
Then, you can go one step further now.
…
October 1st, sunny.
Li Xiangguang, a rookie of the Qingzhu Gang who had just been promoted to the big boss, sent out an invitation to invite all the virtuous people in Jiuli Town to visit him on the top floor of Qihua Building on the 16th.
For a time, responders gathered.
Of course, there are also those who are uncooperative, but the source of this opposition is not from the outside world, but from within.
In a small villa.
Bang!
Zhao Gang looked gloomy, punched the stone table hard, and growled: "Who does he think he is? Why should he take the place of the Qingzhu Gang and entertain the wealthy gentry of Jiuchimachi Street? Did he take the three gang leaders seriously?
!”
In fact, what really made him angry was that the other party didn't take him seriously.
The Green Bamboo Gang occupies many blocks, and most of them are guarded by one big boss. The more prosperous blocks are guarded by two or even three big bosses in newly conquered new territories like Kuri Town.
Due to Zuo Lengchan's strength, after some bickering, they only managed to get one spot.
It can be said that today's Jiuli Town is a battleground between the Chi faction he represents and the leftist faction represented by Li Xiang. Moreover, in this confrontation, he is obviously at a disadvantage at this time.
"Master Zhao, Li Xiang can hold a banquet, why can't we hold one?"
Next to him, the younger brother saw the boss getting angry. After thinking for a while, he laughed and said: "If we hold a banquet on the same day as him and bring those landlords and gentry over, not only will you quickly gain a foothold in Guri Town, but you will also get
The support of those local forces can also improve your image with the leader of the Chi clan."
"In my opinion, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Chance?
Hearing this, Zhao Gang's heart moved slightly. Indeed, he was naturally much better than that boy Li Xiang, both in terms of martial arts and prestige in the gang.
He has been practicing martial arts for almost 20 years. His sharp sword has been honed over time and has become perfect day after day and year after year. But the man named Li has only practiced for how many days?
Even if the opponent is extremely talented, he is not much higher, let alone a teenager. He has already passed the best age for learning martial arts, and his achievements in this life are destined to be limited.
"Biaozi, you are always good at doing things and you are a smart man. I will leave this matter to you. Invite all the wealthy gentry to our side. I will make Li Xiang lose face!"
Taking a deep breath, a cold look flashed in Zhao Gang's eyes. He wanted to make the other party step into the abyss of pain and taste the pain of losing loved ones, power, and life!!
This is just the beginning.
"Don't worry, this matter will be taken care of for you!" Biaozi looked solemn and nodded seriously.
…
Dark clouds were gathering, as if dark clouds were pressing down on the city, coating the entire city with a layer of gloom.
The streets made of gray stone slabs are deserted and lonely, and with the cold wind blowing, the place looks even more dilapidated.
The lights were still on in the Qihua Building, but they were only in groups of twos and threes, with only a few people holding hands, bragging and drinking wine.
"The ancients said: 'If you don't plan for the overall situation, you can't plan for a region, and if you don't plan for the eternity, you can't plan for a moment.' This fully demonstrates the importance of thinking about the overall situation and talking about the overall situation..."
In the name of the candlelight, a woman with a graceful appearance, long hair reaching her waist, and a good figure is holding a book in her hands and reading aloud. Her voice is clear and sweet, her big eyes are lively and lively, and her long eyelashes look cute and cute.
This woman is a trainee teacher at Zhuolu College, named Song Yufu. Although she is young, she has a photographic memory and is knowledgeable.
When he opens and shuts his mouth, there are a lot of philosophical truths and quotations from famous people.
"Little girl, I invited you here to teach me how to read, not to talk about some philosophy of life. Before instilling your ideas into me, you should do your job first."
Li Xiang spoke calmly, dressed in white, and sat on a rocking chair, with a mink blanket placed between his knees for warmth.
Perhaps it was due to the light, and because he was already injured, his face looked a little pale and cold under the swaying light of the fire.
"What's so bad about it? You obviously don't look big."
Song Yufu whispered in a low voice, she was a little afraid of this young man who looked about the same age as herself. According to the teachers at the academy, this man was the new big boss of the Qingzhu Gang. He was cruel and domineering, and would beat people to death at every turn.
It was precisely for this reason that the gentlemen in the academy did not dare to come. Because she was still junior and had little say, she was unanimously elected to deal with the gang leader in front of her.
"What did you say?"
Because the first time he was criticized was by a helpless little girl, Li Xiang was stunned for a moment. His original intention was to find someone to teach him how to read. Although the person who came was a little girl, she looked a little...
It wasn't very reliable, but he didn't care.
After all, he doesn't want to learn anything profound. It would be best if he can hire a good teacher. It doesn't matter if he doesn't have one.
But what he didn't expect was that such a girl who didn't even look older than him would dare to contradict him?
"It's nothing, don't come over!" Seeing that the gangster who was rumored to be very vicious was about to stand up, Song Yufu hurriedly and vigilantly held the book in her hands, blocking it in front of her, trying to resist.
This was a completely subconscious reaction, not that she thought she could beat the opponent.
"Hurry, how do you pronounce this word?"
However, to Song Yufu's expectation, Li Xiang did not get angry, nor did he do anything to hurt her. He just calmly pointed to an uncommon word in the book.
Judging from his expression, it seems natural.
He didn't pay any attention to her previous collision.
"This guy must be pretending. Now he is asking for help from me, so he is suppressing his unhappiness."
"When I have no use value, my true colors will be revealed." In an instant, Song Yufu thought of many plots she had read in the storybook, and her eyes towards Li Xiang became more and more strange.
But she still didn't dare to say anything more and honestly taught this older illiterate how to read.
One taught and the other studied. Perhaps because of the compulsory education he received in his previous life, Li Xiang had a strong learning ability. After one hour of class, he announced it was over.
"Let's come here today. From now on, you can come here at this time every day."
Li Xiang picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The rich aroma instantly filled his mouth. This tea was given to him by Zuo Lengchan. It is called iced flower tea. It is hundreds of colors and has a sweet taste. It is an extremely rare tea on the market.
"Oh." Song Yufu nodded obediently, turned around and walked towards the door.
However, what made her nervous was that she was stopped when she was halfway there.
"etc!"
"What, what's wrong?" Song Yufu stammered, fearing that this guy would suddenly regret it and plot against her.
After all, isn't it normal for gangsters to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble? Besides, this place is someone else's territory, so if something were really done to her, she wouldn't be able to resist.
"Zhong Can, go see her off. Today's world is getting more and more chaotic. I don't want to change teachers every day."
A beautiful girl is alone on the street. If she does not have force to protect herself, it is very dangerous in itself.
As Li Xiang finished speaking, Zhong Can, who was 1.9 meters tall and well built, walked over and said in a muffled voice: "Yes."
"This guy doesn't seem to be as bad as he looks."
Song Yufu thought silently.
Immediately afterwards, she shook her head hastily, thinking that this must be this person's disguise. Just imagine, a man with no background who can take the position of a gang cadre at a young age, how could he be a good gentleman? This chapter has been completed!
