Uncle Chang praised Yang Sheng highly.
His words not only highlighted his wisdom and competence as a capable leader, but also made Yang Sheng sound like a rising star.
The bigwigs present were all sizing up Yang Sheng while applauding and cheering, giving Uncle Chang a lot of face.
After a pause, Uncle Chang continued, "It's not easy for our Hong Sheng Lian to produce such a rising star."
Since Ah Sheng has taken down Ruan Feng and Yao Hui, his strength is enough to qualify him as a Double Flower Red Pole.
However, Ah Sheng has not been with my Hong Sheng Lian for long, so he has no territory or underlings.
What does a double-flowered red stick look like?
We're all brothers in the same gang, so how about we each lend a hand and each contribute a little territory and manpower to help Ah Sheng out?"
These words immediately caused an uproar in the hall.
"Old Ding, we also want to help our brothers, but none of us are exactly well-off."
"Yeah, Lao Ding, with those scoundrels under our command, I doubt Brother Sheng would even look down on them, right?"
Previously, no matter how high Uncle Chang elevated Yang Sheng, they had no objections and even applauded in response.
When your own club is in a good position, you'll have something to brag about when dealing with other clubs in the future.
However, they couldn't tolerate Uncle Chang asking them to take things out.
Diwei stood up abruptly, frowning, and said, "Old Ding, everyone acknowledges Asheng's achievements, but it's against the rules to appoint him as a Double Flower Red Stick."
Which other club's Double Flower Red Pole didn't get their status by securing territory for the club?
Ruan Feng initially relied on a military dagger to help Luo Rong conquer three streets, which earned him the qualification to become a Double Flower Red Pole.
Although Ah Sheng was able to kill Ruan Feng and even Yao Hui, the territory ultimately returned to the British Associated Press, and our Hong Sheng Lian did not gain any benefit.
If killing a Red Hooked Man could make you a Red Hooked Man, then if I killed Murray MacLehose, would those British make me the Governor of Hong Kong?
Di Wei is the only Red Stick in Hong Sheng Lian, second only to the Three Elders in status. He has his own independent territory, which even the Three Elders cannot interfere with.
Therefore, his prestige within the Hong Sheng Lian was still considerable.
Upon seeing Diwei speak, the other bigwigs immediately felt reassured and began to vehemently refute him.
Yang Sheng's smile gradually disappeared, and he put on an angry and somewhat aggrieved expression, but in reality, he only sneered in his heart.
He knew from the attitude of the three elders yesterday that the other party would never allow him to take up a post.
However, since he had made such great contributions to the gang, if Uncle Chang didn't give him an explanation, the other members of the gang would also feel disheartened.
That's why Uncle Chang specially organized a performance and acted out a play today.
On the surface, the intention was to promote Yang Sheng to the rank of "Double Flower Red Stick," but in reality, it was a case of flattery to kill him.
This puts him in opposition to all the bigwigs of the Hong Sheng Lian.
Especially Dewey.
He was just a low-ranking official, how could he tolerate Yang Sheng, a lowly clerk, jumping over his head?
Seeing the crowd's agitated state, Uncle Chang gently shook his head and looked at Yang Sheng.
“Ah Sheng, it’s not that the gang doesn’t want to give you a position and open a branch, it’s just that the situation doesn’t allow it.”
The club has its own rules, and promoting you wouldn't be fair to the others.
Yang Sheng stood up, clenched his fists and then relaxed them, as if he was angry inside but dared not vent it.
After a moment, Yang Sheng let out a long breath and gritted his teeth, saying, "Don't worry, Lao Ding, A Sheng isn't the kind of person who doesn't know what's good for him."
Since everyone says this wasn't done according to the rules, next time I'll definitely earn my double red stick position fair and square!
Uncle Chang patted Yang Sheng on the shoulder and advised, "Young man, have a longer-term vision."
Some things are meant to be yours, and they will be yours sooner or later.
However, since you have made such a great contribution this time, if the club doesn't give you anything, it still won't convince the members.
Here's what you'll do: even though you haven't officially registered or opened a branch of the sect, you can still recruit followers.
Yesterday, Wen and Dilu, along with the other four, killed Luo Rong with you. From now on, they will follow you in the same way.
They are all elites of my Hung Sheng Lian organization, and the organization has invested a great deal of money in training them.
Uncle Chang was just doing this to do someone a favor.
Yang Sheng was incredibly generous last night.
Sixty thousand yuan per person is enough to hire a hitman.
Uncle Chang was also afraid that Yang Sheng would spoil them too much and make them difficult to manage in the future, so he simply handed them over to him as his underlings.
As for the club spending a lot of money to train members, that's pure nonsense.
They were all underlings from the main branch, directly following the three elders, and their income was indeed higher than that of other scoundrels.
Uncle Chang and the other two would also regularly find some martial arts instructors for them to train their skills.
However, the people they hired were all third-rate, so it didn't cost much.
Huang Wen encountered a lunatic named Wen and got his head smashed, causing him to lose a lot of money.
"Thank you very much, sir."
Yang Sheng looked grateful, but felt calm inside.
Now that he knows the whereabouts of the Imperial Guard's sword, there's no need to rush.
Three months is enough time for him to deal with these three old guys.
Moreover, Yang Sheng is not only preparing to complete the main quests, but also the side quests.
His martial arts expertise has now been raised to 90%, making him comparable to those martial arts masters.
However, this is only temporary; once they leave this world, they will immediately revert to their original form.
However, as long as he wins first place in the Dragon City Championship, his current strength can be preserved, or even enhanced.
Yang Sheng didn't know what the next reincarnation world would look like, but he knew that desperately improving his strength was the right thing to do.
Uncle Chang nodded in satisfaction.
