Chapter 102: Seal Handover
Liu Shaoran listened to Old Man Li's words, and became much more honest for a while, sitting quietly on the chair, listening to the agenda of the next meeting.
"Everyone knows that I am old, and the Honggang Gang is just getting started. I don't want the Honggang to be ruined in my hands, so I want to elect a capable and talented person to succeed me and lead the Honggang to continue. Closer, come here. Li Yi beckoned to the passer.
The eyes of the people in the hall all looked around a corner at this time, and the customs guest was once again the center of attention. He doesn't have as strong an aura as Xue'er, and it is inevitable that he will be a little nervous when he is watched by so many people. He smiled kindly and stepped out of his seat.
People's eyes followed him slowly, but the chill in his eyes did not mean to look at the future helper, and there seemed to be a trace of resentment. What are they resenting? Most of them are resenting the unfairness of the world: Why is it that a newcomer who has just joined a gang can climb to the position of gang leader in less than a year, while those of us who used to work hard for the gang have done our best for the gang for more than ten years, but we can't even rise to the position of a small leader?
Those eyes pierced the passer's cheek like needles, and although he was still smiling, he seemed to feel the stinging pain in his skin.
Anyway, Guan Ke finally came to Li Yi's side and stood beside him to say hello to the big guy.
Li Yi said: "Although Guan Ke has not been in the gang for a long time, his ability is obvious to all. In less than a month, he has held important positions in more than a dozen companies one after another, and has managed each company well, which is definitely a valuable leader. So I decided to let Guan Ke take my place and become the next leader of the Red Gang. ”
As soon as his words fell, Yang Dawei had already stood up. His lady sat beside him, looking up at him with a look of adoration.
Yang Dawei said: "How he holds the important position, I'm afraid everyone knows it, as for Brother Li, you said that his ability is outstanding, and the brothers can't see it." Guan Ke's achievements in August, as you said, Brother Li, are obvious to all, not only did he not make the profits of various companies rise, but also fell some, and he also caused some chaos in the internal operation of some companies. Although he is busy all day long, he is just checking the bills and checking some items. Therefore, it is probably inappropriate for Guan Ke to take the position of the leader of the Honggang Gang. ”
Yang Dawei paused, and did not mean to stop, but continued: "Moreover, I still hold this point of view," he turned to look at the gangs sitting in the conference hall, and then turned around and continued: "So many brothers have been working for the Honggang Gang for so many years, and there is no credit and hard work, and it is because of them that the Honggang Gang has a magnificent present. An ordinary young man in his twenties, not long after he joined the gang, you supported him to take the position of the head of the gang, how could the brothers be convinced!"
The gangsters in the conference hall all raised their arms and exclaimed, "Yes, yes." "The eyes of the people looking at the customs are even more eerie.
After the noise of the gang quieted down, Yang Dawei continued: "Everyone knows that you are a respected big brother, and you have led your brothers through ups and downs for so many years, and you have laid a great foundation. Everyone also knows that you are compared to Yanling Jizi, pursuing the realm of mountains and flowing waters, and yearning to walk the road that your predecessors have walked. You are a great virtue with poetry and books, but we are all laymen. If you want to be your Yanling Jizi, of course you can, but you can't drag us into the water!" Yang Dawei pointed to Guan Ke and said: "What talent can he have? He has no talent, it's just that you have taken a fancy to him, and he can rise to the top like this." ”
Li Yi's sickly old cheeks had turned iron blue, and there were signs of getting greener and greener. Of course, Yang Dawei noticed Li Yi's demeanor, but he ignored it and continued: "He can't be a helper. This is not what I mean alone, but what all my brothers mean. On behalf of my brothers, I only advise you, hoping that you will listen to our advice. ”
As soon as Yang Dawei finished speaking, the audience fell silent, and at this moment, a needle fell down, and people could hear it.
Li Yi didn't speak, just stared at Yang Dawei's drooping face for a long time.
Although Guan Ke was still smiling, his smile was already a little reluctant.
Xiao Meng didn't know when, she had come behind Li Yi, staring at the gang in the conference room with a vigilant face.
I don't know how long it took, Li Yi finally spoke: "I used to think that you were very smart, unlike that kid in Xiaoye, who only knew how to act blindly. Now it seems that I was wrong, you are far smarter than I originally thought. I'm afraid the people in this room are already your henchmen, and it seems that if I have to make Guan Ke the helper, it seems that you are going to go on a killing spree. ”
Yang Dawei said calmly: "I will never kill indiscriminately, I came here today just to give the big brother a wake-up call, lest you become famous for a lifetime, but you step into a gutter when you are old." ”
"What if I have to step into this gutter?" Li Yitieqing's face gradually turned around, and he was no longer so angry.
Guan Ke glanced at Li Yi and thought to himself, why do you have to block the road? You are not afraid of heaven and earth, but I still want a small life.
Just when Guan Ke was nervous, Yang Dawei said: "If you have to go your own way, we can't do it." He sighed, and walked out slowly with Hesley's support.
Guan Ke looked at Yang Dawei's bleak back in amazement, and instantly felt that he was the villain in the gangster movie, and Yang Dawei became a decent character who was good for everyone, which made him feel good for a while.
The gang fell silent, and some of them lowered their heads and pretended to drink tea, but in fact, their hearts were already fluctuating.
Li Yi didn't stop Yang Dawei from leaving, and when he disappeared at the staircase, he slowly said to the slightly uneasy and confused gangsters: "I know that you have been born and died for so many years and have suffered a lot. Today's achievements of the Honggang Gang are due to the contribution of everyone here. People, share joys and sorrows, and share blessings and hardships. Pingle City has been peaceful for so many years, and everyone has changed more or less. There is less blood in his youth, and more fame and fortune in the world. What kind of helper do we need? Someone who can think about everyone, of course. Although he is in a high position, he still takes the entire gang as his responsibility, instead of always trying to accumulate wealth and build momentum for himself. You should ask yourself, if you become the leader of a gang, can you really think about such a big family and have no selfishness?"
The gang in the audience remained silent, and no one answered.
Li Yi said: "I know what you are thinking, you think I am old, willful like a child, do whatever I want, and I don't consider everyone's opinions at all, then you are wrong." Although I am old and dizzy, and in recent years, I have seen people and sometimes I have lost my eyes, but I have only walked a little, at least I can still see the essence of others. You have to believe in my vision, and I believe that this young man will live up to my expectations. ”
Someone stood up and questioned, "How do you know that he won't fall after he sits on the top spot?"
"I've been watching him for a long time, he's a strong-willed man. I swear that if he is greedy, selfish, and slaughters dissidents, and does something unfavorable to the gang, I will never be able to live beyond my life. ”
As the people listened to the old helper and swore vicious vows, some of the manic hearts finally quieted down.
After Li Yi saw that everyone was finally no longer blindly opposed, he felt that he could start the process of helping the master to move. Xiao Meng hugged him and slowly stood up. He pulled open the desk drawer in front of him and pulled out a seal from it. The seal is purple and black on the perimeter, and the front edge is trimmed with gold, which looks very ancient. Li Yi groped for the seal a few times, as if he was nostalgic for the eventful years of the past. For a long time, Li Yi held the seal in both hands and trembled and handed it into the hands of Guan Ke.
Guan Ke bent down slightly and respectfully went to pick up the seal in Li Yi's hand. However, his eyes were always on the conference room, and if anyone moved, such as someone reaching into his arms or waistband pockets, he would immediately run away. If he feels that he can't escape, he will hide behind Xiao Meng, and he believes that Xiao Meng will definitely protect him.
No one made any unusual moves. The gang members watched this simple handover ceremony with expressionless faces, just like watching a tasteless performance. They stared numbly at the small seal, the seal that symbolized supreme power, and they didn't want to look away for a long time.
The cold sweat on the back of the customs customer had soaked his clothes. His hands trembled a little. He trembled and took the seal from the old man's hand. In this process, as long as anyone in the crowd shouts such a voice, the customs guest will definitely throw out the seal in his hand and flee.
But the room was quiet and quiet, and the silence was eerie. The customs guest took the seal, only to feel that the thing was hot, and he spread his hands when he was about to burn, allowing the seal to fall to the ground.
He still didn't let go, but his hands were shaking a little more. The quiet atmosphere made him feel terrified at the same time, but he also felt that he could breathe, and he felt that if he didn't say anything, he would suffocate to death.
