Chapter 44: Private Incense Hall
Chapter 44: Private Incense Hall (asking for monthly tickets and follow-up reading)
The next day.
Yin Zhaotang went to a clothing store in Causeway Bay and bought a mid-range suit.
A traditional double-breasted jacket with peak lapels, navy blue fabric, a grey silk tie and khaki pointed leather shoes.
Apply a little hair wax to tidy up the messy side bangs.
He is about 1.78 meters tall, with a solid and sturdy body, strong facial lines, a high nose bridge, and handsome features. The bad thing is that he looks young, but has the exact opposite maturity.
His eyes are not big, but they are dark, bright, deep and full of spirit, as if he can see through the wind, rain and ice in the world, giving people a strong sense of contrast in temperament.
Dan Tart leaned against the lime wall of the rental unit, licking an ice cream cone in his left hand, looking at the boss repeatedly, and finally asked: "Brother Tang, are you getting married today, or is your aunt remarrying? There is a happy event in the family!"
"You are so handsome."
"It doesn't suit your style!"
In the past, Yin Zhaotang would just wear a T-shirt and jeans and go out.
Although he has good facial features, he has the temperament of a bad boy and is not a handsome guy.
Now he knows how to dress himself and can put on a suit and tie. He is like a completely different person.
After he put the last strand of hair into place, he looked at the handsome guy in the mirror and finally showed a satisfied expression on his face.
Turning back to Dan Tart, he asked, "What was my style before?"
"T-shirts, shirts, whatever you wear, that's not style, that's poverty! Today, I don't have any style either, I'm just attending a donation ceremony, so I have to dress formally."
"If you look good in photos, others will respect you. It's no different from factory work clothes. Clothes are worn for others to see. If possible, it's most comfortable to be naked all day."
This morning, the director of Queen Mary Hospital called me and within ten minutes of communication, the entire process of charitable donations was finalized.
One wants to send money, the other wants to receive money, so of course the process is very fast.
Yin Zhaotang will not waste the social reputation brought by donations. There is absolutely no such thing as doing charity in a low-key manner. Only when you gain enough fame can it be said to be worth the money.
What's more, what he lacks most is a good reputation. The accumulation of reputation may bring unimaginable benefits in the future.
You know, in any era and any society, fame is a weapon!
Names and implements cannot be faked by others.
Doing good deeds and seeking fame are not contradictory. In fact, good reputation is an invisible reward from society for good deeds.
There is no need to worry about Master Guan making a fuss.
Egg Tart finally understood and nodded, "That's right, the boss has to be different from us, otherwise how can he be the boss!"
"Damn, you have quite a philosophical mind." Yin Zhaotang cursed with a smile. Many kinds of clothing, including western clothes, did play a role in demonstrating class in ancient society.
However, with the development of the clothing industry, fashionable clothing can no longer represent class, and the luxury goods industry has developed.
He pushed the door open with his left hand and said, "Boss, the car has arrived."
"It's almost time, let's go." Yin Zhaotang was not wearing a watch and glanced at the clock on the wall.
Niu Qiang still had a large piece of white gauze on his left side. He and his five brothers were standing guard at the corridor at the entrance of the unit. When they saw the boss coming out, they all bowed and shouted, "Brother Tang!"
"Brother Tang!"
Yin Zhaotang looked surprised and asked, "Niu Qiang, why are you here?"
Zuo Shou explained for him, "Brother Tang, the situation is very chaotic recently. If you want to arrange bodyguards to follow you, you must use the most trustworthy people. Jiang Hao selected fifteen brothers to take shifts, five people in each shift, and each person will be paid three thousand yuan a month. Niu Qiang is in the first shift, oh, as the boss, he will get five hundred more."
Niu Qiang and the other four were all wearing shirt jackets of different colors and styles, but there were bulges on their lower backs, obviously they were carrying some short weapons.
The people who can be picked out to protect the boss are all the brothers who held on during the last bloody fight.
A monthly salary of three thousand yuan is already as high as that of a white-collar worker working in an office in Wan Chai.
For the bad boys, it is a job that is enough to support the whole family and ensure they have enough food and drink.
What's more, there are many opportunities when following a big boss, so you definitely can't just arrange people casually.
Loyalty and fighting ability are the most basic, but seniority is also important.
"I mean why don't you stay at home and rest for a few more days? Now that you're here, let's go." Yin Zhaotang patted Niu Qiang's shoulder. He could see that the wound on his face hadn't healed yet, so he didn't talk much. Zuoshou walked away and said, "Brother Tang, this morning, Dong'an Society's White Paper Fan Snake Boy Ying called the magazine company on behalf of the hall and set the time for the first drink at 1pm at the Anfu Restaurant in Mong Kok. Please come and have a look."
Dan Tart frowned and said belatedly, "Pick, Anfu Restaurant, isn't that the territory of Dong'an Society? Damn, it sounds like a wine party, but it's actually a Hongmen Banquet!"
"Brother Tang, tell him to move to another place. We don't want to suffer this loss."
They all knew that the strength of their subordinates was far inferior to that of Sang Kun, and now they were able to suppress Sang Kun only because of the support of the society.
Sang Kun chose the Dong'an Society's territory to hold the first wine party, which was clearly intended to intimidate.
Yin Zhaotang scolded, "Even for a drink or the first round of wine, you have to be picky and change the place. If this gets out, the heroes in the martial arts world will laugh at you. Change the place and tell the brothers not to eat breakfast, so as not to waste Brother Sangkun's kindness."
Zuoshou came downstairs and opened the car door for the boss: "Brother Tang, Brother Hao has gathered the brothers and is just waiting for the boss's order."
"Okay, got it." Yin Zhaotang nodded and got in the car.
Dan Tart, Niu Qiang and others also got into the rented Toyota Crown.
I can't afford to buy a car now, but I can still afford to rent one. With one phone call last night, I not only rented three Toyotas, but also two buses. I can take all my brothers to the restaurant at noon.
After Yin Zhaotang arrived at Queen Mary Hospital, he met the director and held a simple donation ceremony in the lobby of the office building.
Although Yin Zhaotang paid out of his own pocket to hire a magazine reporter to take photos, the entire donation process took less than half an hour, and the dean left immediately after taking the photos.
After all, the police, lawyers, and doctors in Hong Kong are all superior, and the director of Queen Mary Hospital is even a celebrity. If they are willing to take time out to take pictures, it is for the money and the face, so how could they have a personal relationship with him?
Yin Zhaotang wrote a check for 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, and specified that the donations would be used for research at the hearing center, and then took a car to the magazine company.
At this time, there was a huge crowd of people standing inside and outside the magazine company. A glance showed that there were at least one hundred and fifty of them. It was very crowded and bustling.
Some were smoking, some were chatting. The company's office was filled with smoke and the noise was as if there were ten thousand flies flying around.
Not only did all the Blue Lanterns who hung out with Yin Zhaotang and his brothers come, but even their former playmates from the Kwun Tong playground and the bad boys from school came.
All the bad boys who have a little connection with Yin Zhaotang and want to hang out with him are willing to miss the "Hetoujiu" of Dong'an Society. Not only for the free meal, but also for participating in the big events in the underworld! Maybe if they perform well, they will be recruited by Brother Tang as his henchman.
When Yin Zhaotang appeared at the door of the magazine company wearing a suit and smoking a cigarette, surrounded by Niu Qiang, Zuo Shou and others, his dress and temperament immediately set him apart from those gangsters.
More than a hundred bad boys had admiration, envy, and respect in their eyes. They all made way for him and shouted one after another: "Brother Tang!"
"Brother Tang!"
This is the Shenxiantang from Kwun Tong!
I want to go to Shenxiantang to drink red sticks and first wine!
"Ah."
Yin Zhaotang nodded gently, and walked straight into an office in the company with his brothers, closing the door with his left hand.
Jiang Hao was already standing in the hall with his three brothers. They were bare-chested and bare-backed, with red scarves on their heads, looking at him: "Brother Tang!"
Yin Zhaotang just waved his hand: "Time is almost up, let's burn incense to Master Guan first."
With his left hand, he quickly placed a handful of incense on the candlestick and lit it, then distributed it to the brothers in front of him.
After receiving the incense, the brothers knelt on one knee and faced Guan Gong.
Yin Zhaotang took the lead in burning incense, saying, "According to the rules, I am not qualified to set up a private incense hall, but placing the tablets of the Three Heroes and Five Ancestors, not admitting anyone, and worshipping Guan Erye's loyalty, righteousness, benevolence and bravery is not enough to be considered a serious crime of setting up a private incense hall."
"You are all brothers who grew up together in Kwun Tong. You must have heard a lot about Sangkun's bad reputation. Going to drink the first round of wine on behalf of the society today is no different from going through the gates of hell."
"It's not only to help the club get a name, but also to make a name for myself!"
"Have you received the resettlement allowance?"
Jiang Hao and his brothers replied, "We have received it!"
“If we don’t reach an agreement today, I will chop Sang Kun to death as soon as he leaves the restaurant!!!” After saying this, Yin Zhaotang bowed three times and inserted the incense into the copper censer.
In the new week, if I want to hit the new book list, I need monthly votes and follow-up reading from my readers.
I heard that it would be better to change the update time to the early morning, so during the ranking period, I will change the update to the early morning and nine o'clock in the morning.
A-Cha is a newcomer, and I can only ensure the quality first. Writing is not easy, thank you for your support.
