As soon as I took office, you staged an internal struggle right in front of me? Do you think I'm just a rookie at this position?
Miss Fang's commanding voice echoed through the room.
Liu Hao was left dumbfounded.
"Is it him?" she pressed.
"What about him? Don't you understand what I'm saying?" Miss Fang frowned, glaring at Liu Hao with fury.
Damn it!
Is it really inappropriate for me to laugh out loud at this moment?
I held back, I endured!
I understood, I got it.
Liu Hao quickly nodded; he didn't have the guts to argue with Fang Ying! Who did he think he was, acting like Xiang Dong?
It's good that you understand. Now, everyone take a seat.
Fang Ying cast a cold glance at Liu Hao and spoke with a mix of indifference and authority. I couldn't help but smile at her delicate yet icy face, then fell into deep thought.
When dealing with Qian Cun Jin's matter, I sensed that Fang Ying seemed to lean towards me. This incident only confirmed my suspicions further. Here I was sitting in the South District Boss's position, and Fang Ying didn't seem to mind at all.
What could her intentions be?
She certainly wasn't like Zheng Yu, a cop.
Could it be that this fierce woman has taken a liking to me?
That thought felt a bit shameless, but even if she wasn't interested in me romantically, at least she appreciated my character. This wasn't unfounded; judging by how I handled Qian Cun Jin and Chen Ming, many women would admire my integrity. This proved that despite being a woman in a man's world, Fang Ying was indeed someone of strong character!
I didn't need to elaborate on Chen Ming's situation; you all have ears and can listen for yourselves. What we need today is me, Fang Ying! From now on, I'll take over the Kyoto Headquarters and become the new head of the Kyoto Branch! Does anyone have any objections?
Fang Ying looked coldly at everyone as she asked. No one dared to voice any dissent; who would be foolish enough to risk their lives by opposing her? Keeping their current positions was already a blessing!
After all, every new ruler brings in new subjects!
That official who just took office wouldn’t hesitate to make a grand entrance, would they?
Liu Hao, who had just annoyed Fang Ying, surely understood this. He had already made her unhappy upon their first meeting. The anxiety in Liu Hao's heart was palpable, so he seized the moment to flatter her.
"Miss Fang taking charge is truly what everyone has been hoping for! She clearly is a woman of great talent! She will definitely lead us well!"
"Shut up! No nonsense during the meeting!"
But before Liu Hao could finish his flattery, Fang Ying cut him off sharply! His face turned pale with embarrassment!
Damn it!
At this moment, laughing would be inappropriate; it would be too arrogant—far too arrogant. I advised myself to hold back! Don’t let my delight show too clearly!
I hoped that my subordinates were capable individuals; flattery wouldn’t work here at all.
Fang Ying spoke slowly, glancing at me with a cold, piercing gaze that effectively stifled my laughter. However, when I caught sight of Liu Hao's pale, flustered face, I couldn't help but want to laugh again. Wasn't Liu Hao a fool? How could he not see through Fang Ying's flattery? As far as I knew, eighty percent of people despised sycophants!
Only someone like me, unafraid of authority and willing to challenge superiors, could earn Fang Ying's respect! If Fang Ying were a man, or if she were me, she would have acted the same way. This is what we call mutual admiration.
During the meeting, Fang Ying spoke extensively, mainly to understand the situation in each district from the local leaders. Liu Hao was cautious and meticulous, afraid to say anything wrong. However, his demeanor only served to annoy Fang Ying; she looked down on men like him just as she once did with Qian Cun Jin.
Throughout the meeting, even though I was the hall master of the South District White Tiger Hall, Fang Ying treated me as if I were the boss of the South District. She directed her questions at me, and I answered candidly without trying to flatter her. This straightforwardness only seemed to please her more.
As the meeting wrapped up, I offered some advice: "The Hongmen and Qing Gang have withdrawn from the stage of Huaxia, but that doesn't mean they no longer exist. A few years ago, Tian Ye Group and Lin Tianfeng also intended to exit the underworld, which led many of you to become complacent and lose the fierce ambition you once had!
But remember! The current boss of Tian Ye Group is no longer that old man Lin Tianfeng! We will dominate this underworld! We will surpass Qing Gang and even Hongmen! Either you bring back your former ferocity or step aside!"
Fang Ying's words rang out powerfully.
I frowned at this. Hongmen and Qing Gang were two of the most formidable gangs in modern Huaxia history—long-established and immensely powerful. Hongmen even had branches worldwide, making it incredibly strong!
Yet as society stabilized over time, these super gangs began to fade from public view. It had been a long time since there had been any news about them.
What did Fang Ying mean by saying such things? Could it be that Hongmen and Qing Gang would make a comeback? Was Tian Ye Group really going to compete with Huaxia's most formidable gangs? Or was this merely Fang Ying's way of boosting morale? After all, it had been ages since Hongmen and Qing Gang withdrew from the underworld; their members were now wealthy beyond measure. Did they really need to abandon their comfortable lives to return to the fray?
I didn't know the answers to these questions. Even if I did, my current position wouldn't allow me to do much; I could only focus on establishing myself within Tian Ye Group.
After the meeting adjourned, Miss Fang remained cool and composed as she drove away in her flashy Ferrari. Once she left, Northwest Tiger laughed heartily while patting my shoulder.
"Brother! Miss Fang really takes care of you! Oh wow, that's impressive! Congratulations!"
We stood outside Aishang Club as Northwest Tiger continued his jovial teasing. Liu Hao and East District Boss looked on with dark expressions; Liu Hao's behavior today had clearly displeased Fang Ying, and they began worrying about their own positions.
"Just average," I replied with a smile.
Liu Hao couldn't hold back his discontent. "Hmph! Pretty boy!"
He chuckled derisively, but I knew he was filled with envy and resentment.
"Alright, Liu Laoda, everyone here knows what's what. Stop pretending; you want to be a pretty boy but don't have what it takes!"
I boldly slapped Liu Hao's face with my words.
"Damn it!" I cursed under my breath. I absolutely hated being called a pretty boy! Was it really my fault that I was just a little handsome?
"Xiang Dong, you’ve gone too far!"
Liu Hao forcefully pushed my hand away. Maybe I had challenged his pride, but he was the one who started it! So what if I was being unreasonable? I asked him directly, "What’s wrong with being unreasonable? What are you going to do about it?"
I shoved Liu Hao hard. When it came to not being reasonable, I preferred to avoid discussions; arguing was exhausting. Why bother figuring out who was right or wrong? With someone like Liu Hao, strength was the only truth that mattered!
"Fuck!" I muttered angrily.
Liu Hao immediately prepared to fight me, and his lackeys rushed in to back him up. But I had brought my own crew along! We faced off against each other, but just then, the East District Boss spoke up.
"Hao! Are you still not calming down? Don’t you see what kind of situation this is? Let’s go!"
The East District Boss pulled Liu Hao away. Did he really think they could take me on? Their guy, Chen Ming, was in jail, and Fang Ying was on my side! They had no chance against me and had no choice but to bow to reality.
"Lao Wu! I've never been humiliated like this!" Liu Hao shouted as he was dragged away by the East District Boss. I couldn’t help but laugh; if he wanted to throw punches, he should aim for the face!
"Don’t say that; you weren’t exactly impressive before."
"Damn it!" Liu Hao cursed as he was taken away. Even if the East District Boss hadn’t intervened, he wouldn’t have dared to fight me, and neither would I have fought him.
Today’s internal conflict had made Fang Ying angry, and even though she was on my side, neither of us needed to escalate things further; that would just be foolish.
After Liu Hao and the East District Boss left, Northwest Tiger looked at me with a grin and said, "Xiang Brother is truly a hero among men! Such genuine character! How about this: today, let me treat you to a drink?"
