Hong Kong News: Rising from Kowloon Walled City

Chapter 32: Gold and Silver Dance Hall
"Brother Ling, Brother Benny is here."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ling immediately put down the account book and just as he stood up, a man with a side-parted hair and wearing black clothes came in.

It was Han Bin, the leader of the Hung Hing Kwai Tsing Gang, nicknamed "Benny Tiger".

"Brother Bin, why didn't you call before coming?" Xu Ling said with a smile.

"I need to know your phone number." Han Bin said with a smile.

Xu Ling smiled, then told him her phone number and said, "Would you like to sit down at the bar?"

"No, I have to go to the dock to check on business later." Han Bin said.

Xu Ling handed him a Cuban cigar.

After lighting it, the two took a few puffs, and Han Bin said straight to the point: "Brother, your vote is unquestionable, I vote for you!"

"And my brother Dinosaur's vote is for you as well. I'll call Thirteenth Sister as well."

"Thank you!" Xu Ling said with a smile.

Then he took out a big red envelope, but was immediately held down by Han Bin, who said:
"Brother Ling, we are all the younger generation of Hongxing. For this reason, I support you unconditionally!"

"Okay, if you need my help with anything in the future, just let me know anytime." Xu Ling said with a smile.

"Well, we should help each other. By the way, let me give you another tip."

"From what I know now, Dafei has already convinced Greyhound, Ah Chao, Pretty Mom, and Fatty Li."

"He also approached Brother Ji, but I don't know if he succeeded or not."

Xu Ling calculated that Dafei had already persuaded four people.

On our side, we have confirmed that Xiyan has one vote, Longkong has one vote, and Han Bin has one vote.

In addition, Daewoo will definitely invest in itself.

Otherwise, he would think that he was competing with him for the position, because during this period Dayu embezzled public funds and was on bad terms with Jiang Tiansheng.

As for Brother Ji...that old guy is too cunning.

If you count it this way, I also have four votes.

"Should I count how many votes I have?" Han Bin suddenly asked.

Xu Ling smiled but said nothing.

"Brother Ling, if Brother Ji promised you, don't take it seriously." Han Bin reminded with a smile.

Xu Ling responded, understanding each other tacitly.

"Let's go." Han Bin put out his cigarette, stood up and said.

"Thanks, brother." Xu Ling also stood up.

"Don't worry, I will definitely support you, and I always think you can win." Han Bin said seriously.

Xu Ling thought he was a really nice guy, so she followed him out and escorted him to the car.

Xu Ling called Uncle Xing again.

"A Ling, I also hope that you can take over the position of the clerk. In the future, we can help Mr. Jiang polish the Hongxing brand, right?" Uncle Xing asked.

Xu Ling knew that the key point of his words was "helping Mr. Jiang together."

So he smiled and said, "Yes, then I would like to thank you, Uncle Xing."

"You should thank Mr. Jiang. Mr. Jiang is wholeheartedly helping you to get to the top." Uncle Xing said.

"Yeah, I understand," Xu Ling said patiently.

"A Ling, you are a smart person, so I won't say anything extra." Uncle Xing said.

"You don't have many votes, so you have to keep running. Don't be reluctant to spend money, beg more people, and everything will be fine once you become the big brother."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Ling sat at the table and thought for a while, then uttered a word.

"Pounce on his mother!"

I have an invisible golden finger and the advantage of being familiar with the plot, so I know the background and personality of every character.

Should I still follow your rules?
I don't have this addiction!
After complaining for a while, Xu Ling recalled the plot.

If the situation continues to develop as it currently does, Jiang Tiansheng will then split the Kowloon City gang into two just like in the movie.

I and Dafei will take care of it separately, and whoever does a better job will be the boss.

Then he and Da Fei started fighting for the top spot and sabotaged each other... What's the point of this?
Thinking of this, Xu Ling picked up the phone again and dialed a pager number.

After a few minutes, the call came back.

"Brother Ling, what's wrong?" Li Xinxin asked.

"Xinxin, contact KK and tell her that I want to have tea with her elder brother." Xu Ling said directly.

"Her eldest brother?"

Li Xinxin was surprised, but didn't ask any more questions. "Oh, OK, I'll contact you right away. What time?"

"It's tonight at 8:30, the location is... the Jin Bao Yin Ballroom in North Corner." Xu Ling said.

……

A little after nine in the evening, Guantang.

In many people’s impressions, it seems that all Hong Kong people came from Guangdong Province, or their ancestral home is in Guangdong Province.

But that’s not the case in North Cape.

This place is known as "Little Hujian" and is home to many Hujian people, especially from southern Fujian.

As soon as Xu Ling entered the "Gold and Silver Ballroom", she heard "Wa Ma Xi Liao Gai..." echoing in the corridor.

I feel like I’ve returned to 2024, and I can see this divine song everywhere on TikTok with my phone.

Only after they finished listening to this magical Minnan song did Xu Ling take Li Xinxin into the private room.

The fruit plate and drinks will be delivered immediately.

After waiting for a while, Li Xinxin looked at her watch and found that it was already past half past nine, but KK and her elder brother had not appeared yet.

"Brother Ling, can I ask..." Li Xinxin said cautiously.

"KK's eldest brother is called Dafei, have you heard of it?" Xu Ling said with a smile.

Li Xinxin thought about it and suddenly asked in surprise: "Is it the Dafei who has more than 800 followers?"

"Yeah, that's it." Xu Ling nodded, and then teased:

"Da Fei wants to compete with me for the position of the leader of Kowloon City. I just asked him to come out and have a chat tonight." Xu Ling explained.

Li Xinxin's smile disappeared instantly.

At this moment, the door was pushed open.

The first person to come in was a woman with exposed cleavage, a C+ score, and a bit of a cheesy vibe.

Li Xinxin immediately went over to greet him, and the two girls were very happy.

Xu Ling took a few glances and then turned his gaze to the group of people who came in later.

The leader was a man with long hair, a short beard, and brown glasses. He was picking his nose as he walked...

Xu Ling didn't even stand up, just sat there with her legs crossed and pointed to the seat next to her.

"Ha! Yu Qilin is really sharp. He came to meet me in Greyhound's territory without bringing any of his men." Da Fei said with a sneer.

"You can just call me Xu Ling." Xu Ling said.

At this time, Li Xinxin pulled the gangster girl over and introduced her, "Brother Ling, this is my classmate KK."

"Brother Ling!" KK raised his chin and shouted generously.

"Hello, KK." Xu Ling nodded and smiled, saying, "Xinxin, this is our Hongxing's Big Brother Fei."

"Brother Dafei." Li Xinxin called out.

Da Fei waved perfunctorily, then asked Xu Lin: "Yu Qilin, what do you want to see me about?
"Let me make it clear first, if you want the position of Kowloon City, then forget it."

Xu Ling smiled and said to Li Xinxin: "Take KK out to play. All the food, drinks, and entertainment here tonight are mine."

"Okay, okay." Li Xinxin said happily.

Since her boyfriend was generous, she naturally felt proud in front of her classmates.

"Thank you, Brother Ling."

After saying that, KK pulled Li Xinxin out.
