Chapter 27 [003] Fire Tongs Liu Ming, successor to be determined
After resolving the conflict between the Shengzhi Group and the Luoying Group, the next step is for the Fire Tongs Group to deal with it.
The Fire Tongs Group has always had serious internal strife. Three days have passed since Zhao Huo Qian's death, and no successor who can meet the expectations of the public has been elected from within the group, so the cadre position in the Fire Tongs Group is now vacant.
Although Zhao Huoqian rebelled, the Huoqian Group did not change its name.
The president believed that if this matter was publicized in a high profile it would damage the reputation of the Yelong Society, so the external propaganda was: Zhao Huoqian was jealous of Qin Jiandan becoming the young master, and he failed to assassinate the young master but was killed instead, and it was an internal matter of the organization.
Mrs. Watanabe also used the excuse that "she failed to seize power and blew herself up on the spot" to try to evade public opinion.
Of course, the cadres all know that things are not that simple.
The benefits of the internal strife within the "Fire Clamp Group" were reflected at this time. Those who wanted to follow Zhao Fire Clamp and join the Nian Society were only Zhao Fire Clamp's die-hard subordinates. The other factions had no intention of rebellion, they just wanted to be the boss of the organization.
There is a simple rule for when to change the name of an organization: if you founded the organization, then you can take a few words from your name, or whatever you like. If you inherit the organization, then you can keep the original name.
The Fire Tongs Group was not founded by Zhao Huoqiang, but by a man named "Liu Ming" a few generations ago. This man was quite humorous and deliberately tried to make up the "Fire Tongs Liu Ming" joke. Under his leadership, the Fire Tongs Group would vigorously publicize the name of the organization whenever they occupied a new territory.
Zhao Huoqian was simply born in the Huoqian group and was named so by his parents in the hope that he would become successful, but it ended up harming him instead.
Jiang Chouyun spoke first: "Young Master, the Fire Tongs Group has been unable to select a successor. Does the matter of my Chouyun Group wanting the support of the Fighting Faction have to be postponed again?"
Previously, Zhao Huoqian was bribed by the Nian Society and deliberately did not support the Chouyun Group and the Shengzhi Group. Now, although Zhao Huoqian is dead, the Huoqian Group is caught up in a power struggle and it is certain that they have no time to take care of other things.
"I'm sorry." Xiao Xia said this apology to the young master, "Although the Falling Cherry Group is also a fighting group, but after what happened just now, we can't spare any help for the time being."
Qin Jiandan touched his chin. This time he found the position more accurately and did not simply imitate his master stroking his beard like before.
"Brother Chouyun, you should get over it first. Right now, the Chouyun Group is mainly competing with the Joker Group for territory in District 12, right? Since the death of "Chameleon Johnny", the Joker Group should be a little quieter, right?"
Jiang Chouyun nodded: "Young Master is right. Thanks to you for killing their chief killer."
Seeing that the three of them were not talking about him, Zhu Shengzhi rolled his eyes and began to express his loyalty again: "Zhao Huoqian actually dared to assassinate the young master, he really deserves death! Even if the young master doesn't kill him, our Shengzhi team will cut this beast into pieces!"
As he spoke, he made a "beheading" gesture.
Jiang Chouyun: "Now people outside are saying that the young master has torn off Zhao Huoqian's head. This is the fate of the assassin. It's really satisfying!"
Xiao Xia, who was standing by, shrank her neck when she heard this, and couldn't help but imagine the tragic scene when she tried to assassinate the young master the day before, but was pulled head off by the young master and her body fell to the ground.
"Young Master, you can still do it while it's hot."
Fengjian behind her suddenly reminded her in a low voice, as if she knew exactly what Xiaoxia was thinking.
Damn you, this traitorous retainer! The young master would never take advantage of me! I was ready to cry and beg for mercy and do anything to save my life!
The topics discussed later in the meeting were not very important and had nothing to do with the Luoying Group, so Xiao Xia didn't listen carefully.
The cadre meeting ended before 11 o'clock. Xiao Xia wanted to find an opportunity to talk to the young master, but Zhu Shengzhi and Jiang Chouyun both wanted to have a private chat with the young master after the meeting, in order to find out whether the successor of the "Fire Tongs Group" would support the Shengzhi Group or the Chouyun Group first after deciding.
Seeing that the two men were crowded in the front, Xiao Xia was not in a high enough position to get close to them, so she could only sigh and ask the staff officer Fengjian to leave with her.
"Don't sigh." Fengjian said, "The matter of the Bio-Intelligence Team forcing a discount has been successfully resolved. You can announce this good news to the team when you return, and your reputation will also increase, Miss."
In public, Fengjian is more likely to give face to Xiaoxia. If the two of them are talking privately, Fengjian will definitely add "Although your reputation is originally pitifully low, Miss."
"That's the only way we can think of it." Xiao Xia and Feng Jian walked outside the conference room one after the other. The air outside made her feel a little better.
"Fufufu~ Thanks to my personal charm, the young master has been taking good care of the Falling Cherry Blossom Group!"
Feng Jian rolled his eyes at Xiao Xia: "If you are really that charming, why did the young master go back without seeing you when he came to Luoying Group to quell the rebellion that day?"
"That, that's because there are so many people around and it's not suitable for you to get too close to me, right? That must be the case!"
Fengjian: "The young master didn't get close to you, but instead hugged that policewoman and walked a long way in front of so many of his younger brothers! If this continues, I think you will not only fail to become the young master's wife, but you will even be a bed warmer!"
Xiao Xia was speechless for a moment and soon became very depressed. Although her feet were still moving, her hands had become like zombies.
"Fengjian, what do you think we should do? That Sheriff Mu Yue seems to be from the Han family, one of the three major families in the inner city! The family background is too far behind!"
Kazama: "Your breasts are far from perfect." Xiaoxia clenched her right fist, her red pupils glowing faintly.
"If all else fails, I'll go to the inner city to assassinate him! If I can't kill the young master, it shouldn't be too difficult to kill his (data) wife!"
Fengjian pushed up her glasses that had fallen down, and also straightened her long hair on her left side. In fact, with her lolita figure, it was a little difficult for her to keep up with Xiaoxia's pace, but she tried not to show it.
"I advise you not to ask for trouble. The inner city is full of city police. You are going to assassinate a police chief with a Han family background. Even if you succeed, you will not be able to escape. Being executed directly is the best. Maybe you will be subjected to the ten tortures of the Qing Dynasty first. After you are covered with wounds and dying, you will be handed over to the company to be made into a "brain machine."
Xiao Xia shuddered all over and hugged her shoulders in fear.
"Don't talk about horror movie plots! Brain computers and the like are the scariest things!"
In Ringstone City, the most vicious curse is: "I hope you will be captured by the company and made into a brain machine!"
The company strictly restricts outsiders from obtaining computer technology. The computers in Linlin's monitoring room were all bought on the black market. The only digital products in ordinary households are TVs and video recorders.
People who can program are basically hackers like Linlin who will be killed if caught. In this general knowledge environment, it is difficult for the public to understand artificial intelligence. And for some reason, the company prohibits the development of advanced artificial intelligence. It is said that all the company's automatic processing machines rely on the human brain hidden inside to realize their functions.
It is rumored that the Spider Tank and the vending terminal contain human brains, and that they are "brain-computers" made from the brains forcibly removed from criminals.
This is a nightmare-like situation from which there is no escape, and everyone in Ringstone City is afraid of it. Some people swear that they have seen brains soaked in metal shells.
Xiao Xia, with a deep fear of brain machines, left the Night Dragon Society headquarters with the loli staff officer.
※※※
After the meeting, Qin Jiandan kept his promise and went to find Linlin, but near the ground entrance of the monitoring room, he unexpectedly ran into Zhu Shengzhi, whom he had just met at the meeting.
"What are you still here for? Who will the Fire Tongs support first and who will support later? Didn't I tell you and Jiang Chouyun that we will decide at the next meeting?"
Zhu Shengzhi smiled widely and nodded as he showed a beautifully packaged rectangular box in his hand.
"Master, I'm not here for this. I came here specifically to give Linlin a gift!"
The security team leader Hu Chi was patrolling nearby and also came over curiously. Hu Chi's big face was pressed towards the nearby area, blocking out 2/3 of the sunlight above Qin Jiandan.
"Are you looking for Linlin?" Qin Jiandan immediately became alert. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the front of Zhu Shengzhi's exaggerated clothes, squeezing some of the decorative gold pieces on the chest.
"Fuck it, Zhu Shengzhi, if you dare to have evil ideas about Linlin, I will not only kill you, but also destroy the entire Shengzhi Group!"
Qin Jiandan was furious, and Zhu Shengzhi quickly waved his hands and begged for mercy: "Young Master, Young Master, don't misunderstand me! I'm just following the wife... no, sister route! Although I'm lustful, I'm not interested in women who can't be obtained with money! I have evidence!"
As he spoke, Zhu Shengzhi pointed to the center of his brow, where there was a very inconspicuous, shallow mark of healing of a small round hole.
Tiger Chi: "Is this a monk's scar? Brother Shengzhi, are you a monk?"
Zhu Shengzhi: "I just don't have hair, I'm not a monk! And the scars of a monk's vows are not placed between the eyebrows! This is my psychological shadow!"
Tiger Chi said "Oh", "I remember now. It seems that many years ago you tried to force a young woman, but she resisted fiercely, pierced your head with a screwdriver and ran away. Your men sent you to the regeneration cabin and barely saved you, right?"
Qin Jiandan asked curiously, "If the brain is injured, can the regeneration chamber save it?"
Tiger Maniac: "It is said that it was quite lucky. The screwdriver poked the area between the left and right hemispheres of the brain, and it was quite shallow."
"Right, right?" Zhu Shengzhi said, "Hu Chi can testify for me. From then on, I was traumatized. From then on, I would only spend money to get a woman. If the other party didn't want money, I would still be worried!"
Only then did Qin Jiandan release the hand that was grabbing Zhu Shengzhi's chest.
It turns out that Zhu Shengzhi has already been in the regeneration chamber... It's such a pity that he didn't turn into a fat pig.
"Hehe, hehe." Zhu Shengzhi said with a playful smile, "Because of what happened at the headquarters before, I came here specially to give Linlin a gift to calm her down. The more gifts, the less blame!"
At this time, Linlin's voice came from the stairs below: "Who is calling my name over and over again?"
