The current Hong Xing is in a period of transition, with the old generation not fully retired and the new generation not yet fully developed. Among them are the new generation of Hong Xing, including Chen Hao Nan.
They are currently only slightly known, and Chen Yao has not yet ascended to a higher position. The only two who are truly loyal to Jiang Tian Sheng in all of Hong Xing are Chen Yao and Da Lao B.
Time flowed, and the next morning arrived.
After a night of hospital checks, Xi Yan's injuries were not serious. They were all superficial wounds, and there was no need to stay in the hospital.
“A Zu, get ready. We're going to eat at the You Gu Qi Restaurant at noon, and Jiang Sheng will be there too," Xi Yan said to Ye Yao Zu who was standing beside him.
“Okay, Boss,” Ye Yao Zu nodded and began to pack his things.
He left the hospital with Xi Yan, and after sending Xi Yan back, he drove home, washed up, changed clothes, and saw that the wound on his arm had mostly healed after a night's rest.
However, Ye Yao Zu did not remove the bandage. He drove to Xi Yan's house and picked him up to go to the You Gu Qi Restaurant together.
They arrived at You Gu Qi Restaurant around noon.
Ye Yao Zu followed Xi Yan out of the car, and soon a black sedan stopped at the entrance. Jiang Tian Sheng, Chen Yao, and two bodyguards got out of the car.
“Jiang Sheng,” Xi Yan walked over with a flattering smile on his face.
“Xi Shu, you are my elder. Just call me A Sheng,” Jiang Tian Sheng smiled and supported Xi Yan's hand. To be honest, Jiang Tian Sheng's superficiality was impeccable.
“Who is this?” Jiang Tian Sheng looked at Ye Yao Zu behind Xi Yan, pretending not to know.
“Ye Yao Zu, A Zu. It was thanks to him that I survived last night. Otherwise, I would have been hacked to death by those East Star scumbags. A Zu, this is Jiang Sheng, the Dragon Head of Hong Xing. Hurry up and greet him," Xi Yan said to Ye Yao Zu.
“Hello, Jiang Sheng,” Ye Yao Zu said to Jiang Tian Sheng.
“Good. I’ve heard about you. You saved Xi Shu last night, otherwise he would have been in danger. You’ve also done a great service for Hong Xing. Elders like Xi Shu are treasures of Hong Xing,” Jiang Tian Sheng said with a smile.
“Mr. Jiang, you flatter me. Xi Shu is my boss, and it's all I should do," Ye Yao Zu smiled, his face sincere.
“If everyone in Hong Xing was like you, A Zu, I wouldn’t have to worry. Okay, time's up. Bai Tou Ying is waiting for us. Xi Shu, let's go up first. A Yao, you and A Zu wait for us outside," Jiang Tian Sheng gave Chen Yao a look.
Chen Yao nodded, understanding what Jiang Tian Sheng meant. It was not a good thing to try to recruit someone in front of Xi Yan, even if Jiang Tian Sheng was the Dragon Head. It would create a bad impression.
Bai Tou Ying? Ye Yao Zu thought for a moment. It seemed that this meeting was set up by Bai Tou Ying, and he seemed to be interested in a truce. But Ye Yao Zu didn’t think much of it.
“A Zu, Jiang Sheng already knows about you. He admires you,” Chen Yao said to Ye Yao Zu.
“Really? Yao Ge!" Ye Yao Zu looked at Chen Yao with excitement, acting like a small fry who was being favored by a big boss, his heart filled with excitement.
“Of course it's true. Jiang Sheng also said that you should work hard. You saved Xi Yan this time, which is also a merit. Otherwise, Hong Xing's reputation would be lost. You’re a valuable asset to Hong Xing, A Zu,” Chen Yao said with a smile, looking at Ye Yao Zu's excited face. He was sure that he could carry out Jiang Tian Sheng's instructions.
Chen Yao's words made Ye Yao Zu feel a little disdainful. While saving Xi Yan was indeed a merit, it was not as great as Chen Yao claimed. It seemed that Jiang Tian Sheng wanted to win him over.
With this thought, Ye Yao Zu had a plan in mind.
“Yao Ge, it’s all I should do," Ye Yao Zu smiled, feigning a bit of embarrassment.
Chen Yao smiled inwardly, seeing Ye Yao Zu’s childish performance.
“Work hard. Jiang Sheng has high expectations for you. If you need anything, you can come to me,” Chen Yao patted Ye Yao Zu on the shoulder.
“Got it, Yao Ge,” Ye Yao Zu said with an excited look.
Seeing Ye Yao Zu's performance, Chen Yao was relieved and started chatting with him casually. Ye Yao Zu answered everything he asked, telling Chen Yao whatever he wanted to know.
Last night, Chen Yao had investigated the situation in Kowloon. All of Xi Yan's trusted subordinates had been killed. If it hadn't been for Ye Yao Zu's emergence, Xi Yan would have gone to sell salted duck eggs in the underworld last night.
This was an opportunity, an opportunity to control Kowloon. Right now, Jiang Tian Sheng's control over Hong Xing was not strong. As mentioned before, we won't go into detail here.
Jiang Tian Sheng wanted to win over Ye Yao Zu early and support his ascent to the Kowloon position. This would greatly increase Jiang Tian Sheng's power in Hong Xing.
Don't think that Jiang Tian Sheng is the Dragon Head, but why did Liang Kun dare to defy him? It was because he was certain that Jiang Tian Sheng's control over Hong Xing was weak. If it had been someone else, like Da Lao B, would Liang Kun have dared to do so?
Xi Yan was old and couldn't last much longer. Jiang Tian Sheng naturally had to plan carefully, just like in Sai Wan. The current head of Sai Wan, Wu Liang, was about to retire.
The position of head was directly taken over by Chen Yao. Did Wu Liang have no subordinates?
Of course he did, but Chen Yao had Jiang Tian Sheng's support behind him. Without Jiang Tian Sheng, how could Chen Yao have ascended to power in Sai Wan? Besides, Chen Yao was the strategist of Hong Xing.
Right now, Chen Yao had money, people, and influence. Without Jiang Tian Sheng, how could Chen Yao afford to support his subordinates with his meager share of the profits?
The events of the movie “Young and Dangerous” were still a long way off. At least, the movie starts after Chen Yao takes over Sai Wan.
As time passed.
Ye Yao Zu didn't know what the bigwigs were talking about upstairs, but as Jiang Tian Sheng and Bai Tou Ying came down, Xi Yan's face showed a hint of displeasure.
Ye Yao Zu knew that the matter between Hong Xing and East Star was probably settled. Hong Xing and East Star could not fight. Jiang Tian Sheng didn't want to, and East Star didn't want to either.
If Hong Xing went to war with East Star, there would be a lot of internal opposition. On East Star's side, the Five Tigers were not around, and Bai Tou Ying didn’t want to be the one to face the brunt of the battle. On Hong Xing's side, Jiang Tian Sheng didn’t have a strong enough hold on power, and if a real fight broke out, it was unclear who would win. This was why East Star and Hong Xing couldn’t fight at this time.
