Chapter 297 Thank you Dragon Head for the seat!
After all, even though you say you want to change jobs, people’s hearts are always hidden. Who knows what you are thinking?
What if he comes here with his men and then takes over my position? Wouldn't I be unable to suffer in silence?
People's minds are unpredictable. Both sides will definitely have concerns about such a big move, so it is rare to see a transfer of power.
However, the Longcheng Gang only has a few hundred people, and compared with the size of Heshenghe, it can't cause any trouble at all.
Wei Longhao should not have such concerns.
Xiang Yan threw away the messy thoughts in his mind, his face looked grim, and he hoped in his heart that the next second, Tornado would drop the teacup in his hand to the ground because he couldn't withstand the high temperature of the boiling water.
According to the rules of the underworld, when a gang is taking over, if the teacup falls out of the opponent's hand when the other party is pouring tea, it is considered a failure.
The implication is that if you can't even endure this little pain, you are not qualified to transfer.
However, when they looked at Tornado with all kinds of thoughts in their minds, they found that he was still solemn and dignified, his expression did not change at all, and his arms were raised without any trembling or shaking.
It seems that pain has never existed in the dictionary of tornado.
Lin Zehao continued to pour hot water without any change in his expression.
Time seems to freeze at this moment.
It was unknown how long it had been, but Lin Zehao handed the kettle to his younger brother beside him and slowly said two words.
"Drink tea."
After hearing this, everyone subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiang Yan was a little disappointed. He didn't see the scene of Tornado's failure, and he was still unwilling to give up.
They felt that Wei Longhao took a little too long to pour the water.
Before the ceremony, Tornado specifically found Lin Zehao, hoping that he could extend the original time limit of the ceremony.
Because Tornado doesn't want other people in the underworld to say that he doesn't live up to his reputation, and he doesn't want those people to criticize Brother Hao because of the details of the ceremony.
Tornado picked up the teacup and drank the steaming tea in it in one gulp.
He took the hot water down his throat without changing his expression.
Then, Tornado turned the teacup over and said loudly, "Thank you, Dragon Head, for the tea!"
Lin Zehao just nodded slightly, pointed to a chair beside him, and said, "Sit down."
Everyone looked in the direction where Wei Longhao's finger was pointing, and saw that there were several sharp knives stuck on the chair from bottom to top. The tips of the knives were shining brightly, emitting a chilling light that made people's hearts frightened.
"Thank you, Dragon Head, for the seat!"
Tornado stood up without any hesitation, gathered the energy in his dantian, and sat firmly on the chair.
Afterwards, he stood up again. Although his pants were torn, there was no blood seeping out.
Apparently, Tornado was not injured after the actual contact with the icy blade.
Although it was only a brief moment, it was enough to show that Tornado's kung fu was indeed genuine.
For someone who created the Whirlwind Fist after learning hundreds of martial arts, it is natural that he also knows hard Qigong.
Although this hard Qigong does not make one invulnerable to swords and guns as described in martial arts novels, it should be able to handle such situations without any problems if one is proficient enough.
Of course, the time cannot be too long, otherwise you will definitely get hurt.
This is also the reason why there is no time limit set for this level.
According to the rules of the underworld, from the moment you enter the door, you first drink tea, then you are given a seat, and the last step is to step over the fire basin barefoot, commonly known as passing three levels.
However, compared with the first two tests, the final test of crossing the fire pot is actually not that difficult.
Not to mention a martial artist like Tornado, even an ordinary person with a little more courage can get through it as long as he moves fast enough.
Sure enough, everyone saw Tornado take off his shoes and socks and quickly step over the brazier.
The whole process was smooth and flowing, so smooth that everyone felt it was a pleasure to watch.
After passing the fire basin, there were no signs of burns on Tornado's feet.
At this moment, even though everyone had different thoughts, they couldn't help but admire Tornado's skills.
They really didn't expect that with Tornado's skills, he had been hiding in a place like Kowloon Walled City.
If they had known that Tornado was so skilled, they would have dug him over no matter what they said before.
Thinking of this, all the leaders and senior executives of the societies were extremely envious and admired Wei Longhao's vision.
Why is it that a potential stock that no one can see can be discovered and controlled by Wei Longhao?
Everyone didn't know how they differed from Wei Longhao.
Xiang Yan, in particular, was even more unconvinced, and there was deep jealousy in his eyes when he looked at Wei Longhao!
Wei Longhao is the leader, and he is also the leader.
Moreover, he is the leader of the family heirloom and is much stronger than Wei Longhao, a guy who came from nowhere!
Although Wei Long Hao's regular business made a lot of money, Xin Kee's vermicelli business was also booming and still made a lot of money.
Although he is older than Wei Longhao, doesn't that show that he is more mature and stable?
The only difference Xiang Yan admitted was that he was not as handsome as Wei Longhao, and he never denied this.
But other than that, how is he worse than Wei Longhao?
At this moment, a loud gong sounded, interrupting everyone's thoughts.
Immediately afterwards, Li Wenbin's voice also rang out.
"The leader has issued an order. Tornado has passed the three tests. He is hereby allowed to join Hutchison with the Dragon City Gang!"
"Xu Qi was like a bolt from the blue. After joining Hutchison, he became the regional leader!"
These two short sentences once again caused a storm in everyone's hearts.
It was like a bolt from the blue, and it happened with a whole gang!
It has been many years since such news appeared in the Hong Kong underworld!
Originally, in their opinion, with Wei Longhao's suspicious character, he would definitely not give Tornado a very high treatment. Even if he was just trying to pay a huge sum of money to get him a job, it would be fine to just give him a nominal position.
Unexpectedly, it was like a bolt from the blue, and it also gave the regional decision-makers real power!
In this way, even if they didn't want to admit it, they couldn't help but admire Wei Longhao's broad mind.
No wonder in just two years, Wei Long Hao was able to transform it from a low-level gang into the youngest leader of one of the four major gangs in Hong Kong Island.
This courage to not employ people you don't trust, and to trust people you employ, is something that many people don't have.
At the same time, they looked at Tornado's back and couldn't help but sigh that this gamble was really a win. Not only did the power transfer smoothly, but they also found a good boss.
Just when the leaders and high-ranking officials of the society were feeling complicated, the news was passed on by the younger brothers of Hutchison Whampoa and reached the ears of the people outside. "Tornado? Gang takeover? Thunderbolt out of nowhere? Who is this person?"
"I can tell from the first glance that you don't want to have any contact with the Kowloon Walled City. The other party is the boss of the Dragon City Gang and is very famous inside the walled city!"
"It's a big deal to transfer the gang to another position. Wei Longhao is also a man of great courage. He took the position of the regional leader!"
Everyone expressed their admiration for Wei Longhao's generosity.
"After this incident, I think there will be many gangs trying to emulate Tornado's success and take over the gang."
"That's right. Although it is said that it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix, the position of the regional leader of the four major social organizations in Hong Kong Island can't be considered the tail of a phoenix, right?"
"After I take the position of gang boss, I will also lead the society to transfer to Hutchison!"
"..."
There is no doubt that the result of the tornado has severely stimulated the hearts of these people.
With this example in front of us, as time goes by, more and more communities will make the same choice.
And this is exactly one of Lin Zehao’s real purposes.
Otherwise, he could just leave Tornado lurking in the Kowloon Walled City, waiting to attack the walled city in the future, which would naturally be more efficient.
However, after taking Tornado's own wishes into consideration as well as the overall development of the situation, Lin Zehao finally chose to announce it to the world in this shocking way.
Before becoming rich, Lin Zehao was a lowly man at the bottom of society and could only use his wits to do many things.
However, as his status rose, he could no longer use, nor did he want to use, many inferior methods unless it was absolutely necessary.
After all, with Lin Zehao's current status, there are countless eyes watching his every move. If many of the methods are used, it will be very satisfying at the time, but the sequelae will also be serious.
Therefore, Lin Zehao now prefers to use his power to suppress others, and most of the strategies he uses are open and aboveboard.
Even if the whole world knows his intentions, in the face of the panic situation, they still have to act according to his wishes.
Sometimes, even though you know it is an abyss, you still have to follow his will and move forward without hesitation.
This is an open conspiracy!
The ceremony came to an end as a tornado appeared out of nowhere with a thunderclap.
Everyone moved out of the ancestral hall and came to the box that had been prepared in advance.
At this time, not only the leaders of various clubs come to participate, but also the middle and senior levels of the clubs who are also present can come in and eat together.
With the busy work of Hutchison’s younger brothers, one exquisite dish after another was placed on the table.
Crow looked at the dazzling array of dishes and immediately became hungry. He quickly picked up the chopsticks and started stuffing food into his mouth.
Such an action naturally became the focus of the classmates.
Everyone's eyes were on the crow.
Brother Ji curled his lips and said disdainfully: "You have long hair, little knowledge, and no education at all."
Although the sound was not loud, it was keenly received by the camel, and its face immediately became very ugly.
Before the crow could take two bites, the camel raised the chopsticks in his hand and hit the back of the crow's hand hard.
The crow felt pain and the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground immediately.
"Pujie, look at the way you eat, you are so anxious, are you preparing to reincarnate?"
"Do you want to see what kind of occasion this is? Are you deliberately trying to embarrass us, Dongxing, in front of these leading figures?" Camel lowered his voice, and scolded them with a look of disappointment.
Faced with his boss's rage, Crow resisted the urge to overturn the table, and reluctantly smiled and said, "Boss, I'm just a little hungry. You know, I didn't eat anything before I came here..."
Seeing the pitiful appearance of the crow, the camel felt a little soft-hearted. He sighed and said, "Even if you are starving, just hold on for a while. Otherwise, the whole society will be embarrassed with you."
"Remember, don't do this again next time."
The crow nodded hurriedly, and then while lowering his head to pick up the chopsticks, a look of great resentment appeared in his eyes.
Little did he know that his expression and actions were all seen by the Smiling Tiger standing beside him.
Seeing this, Smiling Tiger pushed his glasses on his nose and showed a meaningful smile.
As the banquet began, everyone who had been hungry for a long time picked up their chopsticks and started to feast on the food.
I have to say that the cooking of this meal really suits everyone's taste and has received unanimous praise from everyone.
Ge Zhixiong put down his chopsticks, touched his bloated belly, burped, and then took out a toothpick from the toothpick box.
Ge Zhixiong held the toothpick in his right hand, covered his mouth with his left hand, and began to pick his teeth.
After shaving the meat from between his teeth, he stopped the Hutchison boy who was serving the dishes and asked, "Which restaurant's chef did you invite for this ceremony?"
Without any hesitation, Hutchison's younger brother said with a smile, "All the dishes for this ceremony will be prepared by our own chef."
"The store is located in Tsim Sha Tsui, and it's called Hutchison Restaurant."
After hearing the name of this restaurant with obvious meaning, Ge Zhixiong was stunned for a moment, and then nodded and smiled at the young man from Hutchison: "Thank you."
After he came to his senses, he made up his mind to visit this Hutchison Restaurant frequently in the future.
At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Wei Longhao is really business-minded. He has quietly entered the catering industry."
"And judging by the chef's skills, this restaurant's business must be good."
Facing Wei Longhao, who seemed to give people surprises at every turn, even though Ge Zhixiong still had great ambitions in his heart, he inevitably felt powerless.
Compared with Heshenghe, which is becoming more and more popular and has a clear trend of spreading everywhere, Haohaobang seems much more chaotic.
Although Ge Zhixiong is nominally the leader of the number gang, each group of characters has long been fighting each other.
Even if he used tough measures to temporarily integrate the numbers together, it would be of no avail.
People's hearts are scattered and no means are effective.
And through this Hutchison Ceremony, Ge Zhixiong was able to get a glimpse of Wei Longhao's superb control.
Although Hutchison still has the presence of uncles and their status still seems high, the entire society has probably become a one-man show of Wei Longhao.
After realizing the gap between him and Wei Longhao, Ge Zhixiong felt a little depressed. He sighed and fell into deep thought, muttering, "Do I really have to take this step?"
Another 11,000. Friends who have monthly tickets, please come and buy some. It is still double now.
