Chapter 1128: Chapter 1128: Nine Hall Masters Gather Here
During this period, Jin Zhengming has been quite low-key. He knows that what he’s doing can’t be hidden from Hong Jinbao.
If it weren’t for Hong Jinbao giving them the opportunity, he probably wouldn’t have become Hall Master.
Initially, he obstructed because he didn’t believe Xiang Yu had the ability. Now that he knows, he agreed.
But Xiang Yu just had to cause this incident, so he can’t be blamed.
The incident from that day spread quickly within Hongmen. Everyone knows there’s a candidate named Xiang Yu who, with a few people, broke into the encirclement of Holy Mouse Hall and ended up thrashing them.
Moreover, Tie Zhuzi’s name also spread within Hongmen. They all want to see the ‘War God’ wielding the iron stick.
This day has finally arrived.
Hongmen has nine halls, and they’ve each brought ten people to Hongxingshan Villa.
Inside Hongxingshan Villa, there’s an indoor basketball court. The conference will be held here. This content belongs to novel⁂fire.net
The venue has been set up according to seating arrangements, and they were all seated inside by nine in the morning.
Hongmen’s Chief, Hong Jinbao, sits in the central position at the front, with each hall’s Hall Master sitting inside. It’s somewhat similar to the seating in the TV series “Water Margin”.
The Hall Master of Holy Mouse Hall, Sky Thief Rat, sits in a wheelchair.
Being a major hall, Holy Mouse Hall sits closest to Hong Jinbao at the front.
Opposite Sky Thief Rat sits the Hall Master of Brocade Hall, Jin Guozhong.
Before the meeting, everyone was chatting as it was rare for them to gather together, and conversations were quite lively.
What they discussed most were the events from ten days ago at Jintai Villa. Everyone is curious about Xiang Yu and Tie Zhuzi, wanting to see what kind of people they are.
“Sky Thief Rat, what’s wrong with your leg?” asked the Hall Master of Blazing Flame Hall, Yan Qing.
Yan Qing is short and skinny, but judging his combat abilities by appearance alone would be a mistake.
Yan Qing is as light as a swallow. Although not as skillful as described in novels, his agility and ferocity in combat make him a rare match.
He and Sky Thief Rat have a slightly strained relationship, so every time they meet, a war of words is inevitable.
“Yan Qing, you’re not doing much better. How’s your condition after being away for half a year?” said Sky Thief Rat.
“No need to worry about me. I’m completely recovered. But your leg, I heard it’s a crush injury, no chance of recovery.” Yan Qing replied snidely.
Sky Thief Rat simply snorted coldly without speaking. He knows his leg can be healed.
When it’s healed, he’ll definitely surprise these people.
Brocade Hall inherently disliked both individuals and thus remained silent. Both of them are the same type, no good news.
Around nine-thirty, Hong Jinbao walked over from afar, and each Hall Master quickly stood up.
“Chief of Hongmen, please forgive me for not being able to stand due to my legs.” Sky Thief Rat said while sitting.
“No worries, everyone sit down.” Hong Jinbao gestured.
Seeing Hong Jinbao sit down, everyone also sat down.
“It’s been a year, rare for everyone to gather so completely. After the meeting, I’m treating everyone.” Hong Jinbao smiled.
The crowd laughed heartily and expressed that they would drink to their heart’s content, and the atmosphere was lively.
After some pleasantries, Hong Jinbao then said: “In the past year, our Hongqing Group has expanded to twenty cities…”
Hong Jinbao first discussed the recent business of the group company over the past year. Including their profits and the next steps.
Since these matters directly relate to each Hall Master’s dividends, they listened very attentively, asking questions where unclear.
Then came the financial distribution issues. Because responsible areas differ, income differs, so their share of dividends varies.
Holy Mouse Hall ranked first, earning the most budget, followed by Brocade Hall.
Sky Thief Rat had a smug expression, looking up at Brocade Hall, saying: “Hall Master Jin, you’re behind this year.”
Brocade Hall just snorted coldly without speaking, not feeling envious.
In its managed area, Holy Mouse Hall can be said to have done all sorts of evil, excluding all external companies using dark methods to monopolize locally.
In fact, the income given to the headquarters is only a part, with a large portion kept by him.
Hong Jinbao waved to signal everyone to stop talking and then said: “Of course, income only represents part of it. I’ll now discuss the contributions each hall has made to Hongmen.”
Hong Jinbao followed the protocol item by item.
The conference lasted two hours, followed by a break. By now it was noon, and lunch was ready.
After lunch, they rested for a while and continued the conference at two in the afternoon.
Hongmen is a large gang, naturally there are plenty of matters within. Everybody has many problems they hope to resolve at this conference.
So, after discussing the major issues, Hong Jinbao opened the floor for the Hall Masters to freely speak. To talk about the obstacles encountered in the past year and make any suggestions.
The meeting proceeded until five in the afternoon, having addressed most of the gang’s miscellaneous issues. The last item left was confirming the candidate selection.
Hongmen has nine halls, and each hall recommended its own candidate, totaling nine candidates.
In theory, it should be ten people, and Hong Jinbao should also recommend one. But his recommended candidate, Xiang Yu, was abandoned due to injury.
After dinner, at eight in the evening, they returned to their seats, while the nine candidates stood in the most central position.
They are all outstanding individuals from their respective halls, each bearing a proud demeanor. Even while standing there, they glared at each other, eager for contest.
One of them is fairly tall, with very fair skin. From a Chinese aesthetic perspective, he’s a rare handsome type, the typical tall, rich, handsome gentleman if he had some money.
This person is Fang Xiaoming, recommended by Holy Mouse Hall.
Fang Xiaoming stood there with his head held high, exuding an overwhelming air of arrogance. Coupled with their Holy Mouse Hall being the largest among the halls, he was confident and hardly took others seriously.
Sky Thief Rat was equally confident, having investigated all these people. As long as no accident occurs, this candidate will undoubtedly be Fang Xiaoming.
Fang Xiaoming is his cultivated talent, soon placing Hongmen under his control, a thought that excites him.
Another eye-catching person is a woman. Her face is icy cold, with a striking scar on her neck.
Without the scar, purely from appearance, she is an extremely beautiful woman, but the icy look gives a chilling feeling.
She is Leng Chan, recommended by Dumei Hall; her name even sounds cold…
