Chapter 106 The boss's favor, Chen Jiusi's road to success

He wins, my husband wins!

Su Yunjin covered her mouth and cried. Bai, who was standing beside her, patted her shoulder.

This girl has had a very difficult life.

At this time, Xiao Douding was standing aside with a candied haws in his hand, and Doctor Bai and Wu Hong were beside him.

At this time, the cheers of the fishing gang disciples were heard.

He asked anxiously, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Wu Hong smiled and said, "Your brother-in-law wins!"

"Did you win? Let me see, let me see."

But the little kid was only five years old. Standing among a group of adults, he was only as tall as the adults’ waists. He was completely blocked and couldn’t see anything.

He stamped his feet in anxiety.

Seeing this, Wu Hong smiled and lifted her up. At this time, he saw the disciples of the Fishing Gang cheering inside and Chen Jie standing on the ring.

"Brother-in-law!"

The little kid was infected by the environment and waved his arms.

Chen Jie seemed to have heard the cheers. He turned around and saw this side. He saw Su Yunjin and Xiao Douding.

Xiao Douding waved his hands even more excitedly at this time: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law!"

Chen Jie smiled and waved to them.

The little boy was even happier, and said to Su Yunjin beside him: "Sister, sister, brother-in-law is waving to us!"

Su Yunjin smiled...

And at this time on the stage.

Gu Qingfeng checked Yu Biao's wound, with anger hidden between his brows and at the same time he was filled with shock. This kid was really strong.

He knew Yu Biao's strength, which was considered very strong among the flesh training realm.

His brother Gu Qingshan only accepted one apprentice in his life, and that was Yu Biao.

He passed down his eldest brother's unique skill, the Heart-Destroying Palm.

This martial art was actually very powerful, it was just a step away from reaching the Hua Jin level, and this little difference was actually a trick left by his elder brother Gu Qingshan.

There is a breathing method that works in conjunction with the Heart-Destroying Palm, but he did not teach it to Yu Biao.

If the breathing method is added, this Heart Destroying Palm can also be a complete martial art of transforming energy.

When he was learning martial arts from his two brothers, he was taught two types of Hua Jin martial arts, namely his own [Seven Styles of Ghost Hand] and his eldest brother's [Heart-Destroying Palm]. Later, his eldest brother got into trouble and his martial arts path was cut off. He never had the chance to learn Hua Jin, and became disheartened and took Yu Biao in.

At that time, Yu Biao was just a servant serving tea under the eldest brother. Because he was smart, efficient and took care of the eldest brother wholeheartedly, he was accepted as an apprentice.

His eldest brother also taught him carefully, but unfortunately Yu Biao's talent was limited and he never received the true teachings.

But even if his talent is limited, he was taught by his eldest brother himself. Normally, warriors at the same level as him are no match for him. But today, this kid was able to kill him with two palms.

How old is he!
Just now he attacked in anger, seemingly to avenge Yu Biao, but in fact he was preparing to destroy this young genius.

The fishing gang would never allow such a powerful person to exist.

As for Yu Biao?

Let him die. Although he called me uncle-master, my eldest brother had been dead for several years and I wasn't very familiar with him.

What’s even more abominable is that he actually lost the ferry crossing in Xiantao Town, Xiantao Ferry!
Gu Qingfeng even wanted to scold Yu Biao for being a waste. The Xiantao Ferry was of great use!

Thinking of this, Gu Qingfeng looked at Peng Shizhong.

Peng Shizhong stopped in front of Gu Qingfeng at this time, feeling very emotional. The fight just now really made him ecstatic. He found a good seedling that could be cultivated!

This kid is definitely a promising talent.

The fight just now clearly showed the character and skills of the young man in front of me!

The battle just now seemed to be a simple fight, but it actually contained a struggle of wits and strategies.

Show weakness to the enemy at the very beginning, then seize the enemy's mistake at that moment and give them the most brutal and fatal blow.

In fact, the most crucial reason why Yu Biao was killed by two palm strikes was that his brief arrogance at the beginning was caught by Chen Jie. At that moment, a [Water Control Palm-Knee Spray] crippled his left arm, and the injury to his left arm was definitely the biggest blow to Biao.

Ten percent of the combat effectiveness was directly wasted. Although it doesn't seem like a lot, when experts fight each other, a one percent loss of combat effectiveness could result in death!
So almost at that moment, Chen Jie laid the foundation for victory in this battle.

After that, he did not hesitate and attacked Yu Biao's left arm frantically when fighting, magnifying this weakness infinitely.

In the end, he was even more ruthless and used a killing move directly.

The whole process was calculated, scheming, ruthless and decisive. If there was even the slightest hesitation in his heart, he would not be able to accomplish his goal of killing Yu Biao with those two moves.

What a terrible future!
Peng Shizhong suddenly felt a desire to find talent.

How could such a person be buried in a small place like Xiantao Town?
He should see the bigger world.

Thinking of this, Peng Shizhong turned around and glanced at Chen Jie.

The young man was very calm. He did not seem complacent about killing Yu Biao with two palm strikes just now, nor did he seem panicked because Gu Qingfeng disregarded the rules and attacked on his own.

Just this kind of calmness in the face of praise or criticism is extraordinary!
At this time, Zhang Liye, who was still on the high platform, took a sip of tea.

"Is this the young man Hong'er was talking about? He is quite interesting, but looking at Peng Shizhong's expression, he will not let him go easily. What a pity, what a pity!"

It's a pity for Zhang Liye.

Since the regulations issued by the imperial court regarding gangs assisting in local governance came into effect, the power of local villages and towns has basically been controlled by these gangs.

This also led to the fact that although the court looked glamorous, its roots were actually completely corrupt.

The reason why Daqian can still support it is that they have another ethnic group, that is, the Mulan people, and the roots of the Mulan people have not been cut off.

However, the pampered life these years also made the Mulan people corrupt and degenerate.

Therefore, the Daqian Empire has begun to decline.

Zhang Liye sighed, feeling deeply helpless towards the imperial court.

"Second brother, it seems that our foster father is interested in talents again."

Not far away, Feng Xuan said to Zheng Chuan.

Zheng Chuan frowned and said, "What can we do about what our foster father wants to do? But there are no extra positions in the gang to accommodate him now!"

After hearing this, Feng Xuan smiled and said, "Is it because you don't have a position, or is it because my second brother is reluctant to give up the little power he has?"

"Boss, are you willing to give up the power in your hands?"

Zheng Chuan looked at Feng Xuan, and Feng Xuan said, "I don't care. You know me. I don't care about these things, but you are different."

Zheng Chuan said coldly: "Boss, don't pretend. If you don't care, how can you fight with me for so many years?"

Feng Xuan laughed and said, "I was helping you. When did you fight with your brother? But I have to advise you, since your godfather has shown his love for Chen Jiusi, I'm afraid your brother-in-law can't hide it anymore."

"Hand it over quickly. You are betraying the gang and colluding with the enemy. You will be stabbed three times and stabbed six times!"

Feng Xuan looked at Zheng Chuan.

Zheng Chuan looked very unhappy. His useless brother-in-law, Zhao Xun, was still waiting for him to save him?
save him?

Just ask for your own blessings.

At this time Feng Xuan said: "By the way, brother, let me remind you again, my foster father asked you to catch him alive. This kind of traitor must be punished according to family law. If you find out that he committed suicide in advance, it will be difficult to explain it to you!"

"What do you mean?"

Zheng Chuan stared at Feng Xuan, who grinned and said, "Second brother, if you don't want to be respectable, I will help you be respectable... I know exactly where Zhao Xun is hiding, second brother, you can do whatever you want!"

"Boss, you really want to embarrass me, don't you?"

Zheng Chuan roared at Feng Xuan fiercely.

Feng Xuan laughed and said, "What do you mean by losing face? If you make a mistake, you will be beaten. Is this wrong? Is this wrong?"

Looking at Feng Xuan's smiling face, Zheng Chuan gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.

He turned and left, giving a few instructions.

Immediately, one of his confidants left on horseback and headed straight for the county town.

Feng Xuan smiled and said, "That's right, second brother."

"Boss, just wait, don't let your people fall into my hands. Also, you have to hate Chen Jiusi very much. If it weren't for him, your brother-in-law might have become the manager of the fish pen in Xiantao Town, haha..."

Feng Xuan laughed.

Zheng Chuan's face was cold and he said nothing, but there was some hostility in his eyes when he looked at Chen Jie.

In the field, there were cheers, the anger of the Cao Gang, Gu Qingfeng's face was cold, and Peng Shizhong's calm expression was filled with excitement that could not be concealed.

He liked talented people very much, and his favorite words were those by Cao Cao: "When Duke Zhou spits out food to feed his guests, the whole world will be at peace."

Therefore, when he sees talented people, he likes them from the bottom of his heart and can't control himself.

But he didn't see many talents like Chen Jie.

In such an environment, the host of this show, Mr. Sun Buer, slowly walked onto the stage.

Immediately after that, he waved his hand and the doctor brought from the county came forward to check on Yu Biao's condition and confirmed that he was dead.

The cervical vertebrae were completely broken, the trachea was torn apart, and all the blood in the brain exploded. If it had been a little more serious, the head would have been almost blown off.

There is no hope!

The doctors shook their heads at the old man, and Sun Buer nodded slightly in response, then said, "Everyone, please calm down. In a competition, there will inevitably be bumps and bruises."

Bumps and bumps?

After hearing this, everyone below widened their eyes. Getting your head nearly blown off is called a bump. Getting someone beaten to death is called a bump!
Well, the bumps and bruises in your house are pretty cruel!
But the old man still said: "So everyone, calm down. Now that Manager Yu Biao is dead, Chen Jiusi from the Fishing Gang is the champion. Is there anyone from the Cao Gang who wants to challenge me?"

After hearing this, the Cao Gang fell silent.

They all knew their own weight. Their own master was beaten to death with one slap, let alone them.

This is not the time to be brave. If you stand up now and get slapped to death by someone, no one will say you are a hero. More people will say you are overestimating your abilities.

Fighting in the ring is not killing enemies on the battlefield.

Killing enemies on the battlefield, knowing that you cannot win, but still charging forward, is considered a hero.

However, this kind of gang competition does not allow such behavior. If this behavior is encouraged, it will allow a group of people who want to become famous and get promoted to use it and do whatever it takes. That is not a good thing.

The result is excessive internal losses.

Therefore, this kind of behavior that overestimates one's own capabilities often leads to public ridicule!
So for a while, no one came up to compete with Chen Jie.

Sun Buer looked at the Cao Gang members, and then said, "Okay, since no one wants to challenge me, I will count down to three. If no one comes, the winner will be Chen Jiusi from the Yu Gang!"

Let’s start the countdown:

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

"I declare that the winner of this competition is Chen Jiusi from the Fishermen's Gang!"

Sun Buer announced the result of the competition in a loud voice.

The next moment, everyone on the fishing gang side shouted excitedly: "Oh! We won, we won!"

Everyone shouted excitedly. From now on, their Fishing Gang would be the dominant gang in Xiantao Town, which would bring them tangible benefits.

With this victory, it is estimated that the income of every fish stall brother will increase by 10 to 20 percent.

Management will be more exaggerated, that's the benefit of dominating a town.

The younger brothers hugged each other excitedly, cheered each other, jumped for joy, and roared.

In contrast to this side, the Cao Gang seemed very lonely, with everyone looking dejected.

The Yu family's housekeeper looked at Chen Jie with hatred at this time, with a huge rage in his heart.

Chen Jiusi, you dare to kill my master, this matter is not over!
There was intense hatred in his eyes.

But at this moment, he was inconspicuous in the crowd and no one noticed him.

At this time, Sun Buer said: "Chen Jiusi, now you can take up the flag that symbolizes the position of Xiantao Town Baozheng!"

After hearing this, Chen Jie suddenly spoke.

"Wait a moment!"

Everyone looked at him in surprise, not knowing what he meant. At this moment, Chen Jie said, "Everyone, I was forced to go up to the ring this time. I felt that my victory should be attributed to the training of Wu Zhong, the manager, the guidance of Brother Li, the second captain, and the encouragement of all the brothers in the fishing gang."

"Therefore, this flag that symbolizes the position of Xiantao Town Baozheng should not be taken by me, but by Wu Zhong, the steward!"

"He is the manager of the fish pen in Xiantao Town. He can represent everyone in the fish pen, including me. This honor should belong to everyone!"

Chen's explanation was passionate. The disciples of the fishing gang were all stunned after listening to it, and then they felt warm in their hearts. Look at Chen Jiusi, he never forgets the people who dug the well when he drinks the water. At this time, he actually thanked this group of people.

At the second boat head, Li Sanding was crying with tears in his eyes. He really didn't expect that Chen Jie would mention his name after winning!

At the same time, Wu Zhong below was also stunned, and then he understood Chen Jie's thoughts.

Chen Jie wanted to give the credit to himself. He had entered the gray fog area without permission, which resulted in serious injuries and almost ruined the battle to protect Zheng.

Peng Shizhong couldn't blame too much out of consideration for his father's face, but there must be people below who were dissatisfied.

But by giving up the credit, Chen Jie can shut these people up, and at the very least his merits and demerits will be offset.

Thinking of this, Wu Zhong was so moved that he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Chen Jie then extended his hand to Wu Zhong, who hesitated slightly but still went up to the stage.

"Jiu Si, this should be your victory."

Chen Jie said with a smile: "Uncle Zhong, we don't talk about this among family members, just pull up the flag quickly."

After hearing this, Wu Zhong took Chen Jie’s hand and said, “Let’s go together!”

Jiu Si couldn't persuade Wu Zhong, so he could only cover the flag with the word "Bao Zheng" embroidered on it together with Wu Zhong. Then they saw the two of them pulling up the flag together.

Then the disciples of the fishing gang shouted: "Nine-four, nine-four, nine-four!"

At this moment they shouted Chen Jiusi's name. They were moved by Chen Jiusi's decision to give up his position and supported Chen Jie even more.

Seeing this scene, Gu Qingfeng narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

This kid is a threat. If he only knew how to fight and kill, it would not be a big deal, but this kid obviously knows how to win people's hearts. Such people are the most dangerous.

And in the eyes of Peng Shizhong who was standing by.

Chen Jie is a man who knows how to judge the situation and handle internal relationships.

If he is just a person with good talent and good fighting ability, he can be trained to be a thug. But if he is not only good at fighting but also able to win people's hearts and understand the ways of the world, he can be trained to become the management or even the heir of the gang!
Thinking of this, Peng Shizhong's desire for talent became even stronger.

At this time, Peng Shizhong looked at Gu Qingfeng and said, "Old Gu!"

"Ok?"

Gu Qingfeng glanced at him, and the two looked at each other. Then Peng Shizhong said, "It's not easy for seedlings to grow. As seniors, we can't do things like pulling them up!"

Gu Qingfeng chuckled when he heard this and said, "Are you interested?"

Peng Shizhong said: "Well, I plan to adopt him as my adopted son!"

"Such a big move? You won't investigate again? Don't your adopted sons have any objections?"

Peng Shizhong asked, "What do they think of me adopting a son?"

After hearing this, Gu Qingfeng nodded slightly and said, "It seems that you have made up your mind."

Peng Shizhong said: "So, Lao Gu, don't go after him, or I will really turn against you!"

Gu Qingfeng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't bother with a junior. Besides, in the ring competition, if I lose, I lose. It doesn't matter. My Cao Gang can afford to lose!"

Peng Shizhong said: "In that case, thank you very much, Brother Gu."

Gu Qingfeng said: "Well, if everything is fine, I will leave. There are still some things to deal with in the gang."

After hearing this, Peng Shizhong said, "Have a safe trip."

Watching Gu Qingfeng leave, Feng Xuan stepped forward and said, "Godfather, Gu Qingfeng won't attack me, will he?"

"Little brother?"

Peng Shizhong looked at Feng Xuan in surprise. Feng Xuan said, "Father has already developed a love for talent. This Chen Jiusi is naturally my younger brother."

Zheng Chuan on the side rolled his eyes at him, then said, "Yes, godfather."

Peng Shizhong said: "Well, I am indeed confident because of my love, but I don't know what that boy thinks."

"As for Gu Qingfeng, don't worry, the rules are there, and he doesn't dare to break them at will."

After saying this, Peng Shizhong glanced at Zheng Chuan and said, "By the way, the position of Xiantao Town Baozheng was regained, which is an unexpected gain, but there are still some people who need to be dealt with. Second Brother, you have to hurry up!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Chuan immediately cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, foster father. I just received news that the traitor has been caught and will be sent to Xiantao Town tomorrow morning."

Peng Shizhong heard this and said, "Well, you did a good job on this matter. Notice that we will set up a incense hall in the fish market tomorrow to deal with the traitor!"

"Yes!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zheng Chuan responded immediately.

The noise on the ring side is over, and the next thing is simple.

The fishing gang will move into the Baozheng Mansion in the center of Xiantao Town. At the same time, the fish pen will often send people here in the future. Also, starting today, the merchants in the town have to pay protection fees to the Baozheng Mansion, and then the Baozheng Mansion will give 30% to the Cao Gang, a brother gang.

The rest will all be handled confidently by the fishing gang.

In addition, there is a salt field in Xiantao Town. From now on, this salt field will be under the responsibility of the Fishermen's Gang. At the same time, at least 70% of the salt consumed in Xiantao Town will have to be purchased from the Fishermen's Gang's salt field.

This is a terrifying amount of income, and it is also one of the biggest sources of income for the position of Baozheng.

In addition, there is a ferry in Xiantao Town, called Xiantao Ferry.

This ferry transports a lot of goods every year. Although the cargo ships are generally from the Cao Gang, the wharf is managed by Bao Zheng.

In other words, the Cao Gang also wants to give a piece of its own interests to the Yu Gang.

You can imagine the benefits here.

The Fishing Gang and the Shipping Gang are both large gangs with more than a thousand members.

To run such a large gang, a huge amount of money is needed.

Therefore, there must be great interests to support them; simply collecting protection fees from merchants is not enough to support them.

Therefore, in that year, the two major gangs surrendered to the imperial court.

The imperial court gave them some privileges, such as being able to open casinos, brothels, and lend money.

These are the gray industrial chains of this era.

In addition, these gangs also engage in some illegal activities in private.

For example, selling illegal salt and reselling ironware.

As we mentioned in the previous article, Daqian was a dynasty established by foreign invaders from the Central Plains. Therefore, the Mulan people were very uneasy about the Han people and set up many systems to restrict them.

For example, the four-class system we mentioned.

For example, as we have said, Han Chinese are not allowed to give names, and they use numbers instead.

Another example is restricting the use of iron tools by the Han people.

At the beginning, when the rules were the strictest, even a village with dozens of households could only own one iron kitchen knife.

The kitchen knife would be tied to the mouth of the well where the Han people drank water, and every few days someone would check to see if the knife was lost.

After all, a kitchen knife is made of iron, and as an iron tool, it can be used as a weapon.

If the Han people have weapons, they may rebel!

Therefore, Daqian has been issuing limited iron orders!
However, this kind of command will decline as the country's control declines, and management will become increasingly lax, just as the name suggests.

It was never allowed before, but later it became semi-tacitly allowed and non-numeric names were allowed.

And this iron tool is common. Nowadays, most families have kitchen knives. The imperial court will not charge a household with treason for this reason.

However, the large-scale sale of iron products, including pig iron, wrought iron, iron ore, etc., is absolutely not allowed.

Because of its large scale, it is likely to become a weapon and support the rebels.

However, precisely because of the imperial ban, in times of chaos, iron tools were indispensable whether for guarding the home or for rebelling.

Therefore, this iron was sold at a very high price.

As long as the profit is high, there will always be people who take risks, such as gangs.

Coincidentally, there happen to be two iron mines in Mianshui County, which are now controlled by these two gangs.

This is also the core interest of the Cao Gang and the Yu Gang.

The real place to make big money, as for fishing and water transport, well, they are the tiger's mouth. The real way to make a fortune is in these illegal industries!

Xiantao Town has no iron mine, but it has a salt field, which is responsible for providing salt for nearly 10,000 people in the town.

In this competition, Chen Jie seemed to have only won the position of the leader.

In fact, there are so many interests behind this, and these interests are what a gang needs to focus on.

Originally, Peng Shizhong had prepared for the losses, because Xiantao Town was under the jurisdiction of Baihu Hall, but in the end Chen Jie won.

How could he not be happy that he had saved these properties?

The members of the fishing gang surrounded Chen Jie as if they were a hero and came to the largest restaurant in Xiantao Town, the Xiantao Restaurant.

The restaurant owner had already prepared everything.

Every time there is such a big competition, a banquet will be held at his place.

This doesn't even change based on who wins or loses the game.

If the fishing gang wins, they will hold a banquet. If the shipping gang wins, they will also hold a banquet.

The owner of this Xiantao restaurant is sure to make a profit!

Sitting at the main table of the restaurant today are Peng Shizhong, his two adopted sons, Feng Xuan, Zheng Chuan, Wu Zhong, and Doctor Bai.

Because of today's victory, Chen Jie was also invited to dine at the main table as an exception.

At the banquet, Peng Shizhong raised a glass and praised Chen Jie, expressing his high praise for Chen Jie.

Chen Jie repeatedly said that he dared not. At the signal of Doctor Bai, Chen Jie returned a glass to Peng Shizhong.

Peng Shizhong looked at Chen Jie and said with a smile: "Jiu Si, you are very good. It is not easy for a young person to achieve what you have done. You are a talent!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Master."

Peng Shizhong asked again: "Jiu Si, do you have any plans to work in the White Tiger Headquarters?"

After hearing this, everyone looked at Chen Jie.

This can also be considered a test for Peng Shizhong.

If Chen Jie agreed immediately, it would seem that he was eager for quick success.

If you are shy, you will appear hypocritical.

So everyone looked at him, wanting to see how he would handle it.

Chen Jie also understood that this was a test for himself.

In fact, Chen Jie was also very confused as to why these big bosses always liked to test people.

For example, some so-called emotional intelligence-testing questions in the previous life: What to do if there are only four bottles of water when five leaders are having a meeting?
What?

Cold, if you want to drink water, please raise your hands. Whoever raises his hand will get it. (⊙o⊙)…

However, although it was strange, Chen Jie did not find it difficult. This kind of problem could actually be thrown to other people.

"Well, Master, I really want to go to the county to help you, but I am still learning from my master, and my family is in Xiantao Town, and I can't leave them."

After hearing this, Peng Shizhong looked at Doctor Bai.

Doctor Bai smiled and said, "My disciple is filial. However, Jiusi, Hall Master Peng wants you to go to the county to help him. It is your blessing. You have great talent. You don't have to live in this small Xiantao Town. You can go to the county with Hall Master Peng."

"As for Master, you don't have to worry too much. Besides, Xiantao Town is not far from the county. If you miss Master, come and see him."

"Shizhong, my disciple is very good and intelligent. You must take good care of him when we get to the county!"

After hearing this, Peng Shizhong said, "Mr. Bai, Jiu Si hasn't agreed yet!"

"I'm his master, I can make the decision for him!"

Doctor Bai knew Chen Jie’s ambition, and if he wanted to realize his ambition, he could only go to a higher platform.

However, in this situation, he didn't want his apprentice to appear eager for quick success, as if he had to go to the county with Peng Shizhong.

At this time, it would be better for him to help Chen Jie take on this eagerness for quick success and turn it into his own expectations. This way, Jiu Si's work in the county will be more legitimate.

When others asked him why he entered the county and whether it was for fame and fortune, he could say: I cannot disobey the master's orders!

Parents love their children deeply.

Doctor Bai also considered Chen Jie very carefully.

When Peng Shizhong heard Doctor Bai say this, he also looked at Chen Jie and asked, "Jiu Si, what do you think?"

Chen Jie said: "I..."

He was really in a dilemma at this moment. His ambition wanted him to climb up, but Doctor Bai was sincere about it for him, so he was reluctant to leave this elder who loved him.

Doctor Bai said, "Jiu Si, listen to Master."

Chen Jie was stunned for a moment, then he said, "Just let the hall master take charge!"

Peng Shizhong laughed loudly after hearing this, and then looked at Chen Jie and said, "I know that Mr. Bai cherishes you very much. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly if you follow me. Mr. Bai is here, so I'll tell you something."

When everyone heard what Peng Shizhong said, they were stunned and looked at this big man seriously.

At this time, Peng Shizhong said: "I, Peng Shizhong, have always been a person who loves talents. I like Jiusi very much. I originally wanted to take him as my apprentice, but since he is Bai Lao's apprentice, I can't take away his love. But I have another idea."

"Everyone knows that I, Peng Shizhong, like to adopt sons. I now have four adopted sons, and I want to adopt Jiusi as my fifth adopted son. What do you think, Jiusi?"

Yoshiko!

After hearing this, everyone looked at Peng Shizhong in shock. Everyone knew that Peng Shizhong had no children in his life, so the probability of him having an adopted son was very high and he would be able to inherit Baihu Hall after his death.

This is an enormous fortune.

No one expected that it would fall on Chen Jie's head.

At this time, the disciples of the fishing gang around were breathing heavily.

What's more, their eyes were almost green with envy, because he was Peng Shizhong's adopted son, and he was the young steward of Baihu Hall!

Currently, Peng Shizhong’s four adopted sons are the four managers of Baihu Hall.

Which one is not in power? Which one is not high and mighty?

Compared with managers of this level, the fish pen managers who go down to the local level are simply no match.

This is like a Beijing official being demoted to a seventh-rank official in a remote area.

They are both seventh-rank officials, but the difference between them is huge!

Chen Jie used to be just a small river patrol officer, but now he has become the manager of the White Tiger Hall.

How many levels have been upgraded in one go?

The reason was that Master Peng appreciated him and regarded him as his adopted son.

Why can't you adopt me as your adopted son, Master Peng? I'm willing to be your son. Not to mention being your son, I'm even willing to be your grandson!

There is no shame in pursuing power and wealth.

Besides, Master Peng is almost sixty years old, older than his biological father. What harm would there be in recognizing such a man as his godfather?

This is simply pie in the sky.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Chen Jie with jealous eyes.

Chen Jie was stunned. He didn't expect that Peng Shizhong would actually adopt him as his adopted son!
He didn't expect such a pie would fall on his head.

Is there any need to explain the value of Peng Shizhong’s adopted son?
Who doesn’t know? It’s like reaching heaven in one step!

Even if he doesn't have the right to be in charge, just for the sake of being able to inherit the White Tiger Hall legitimately in the future, Chen Jie will do it!

I tried my best to climb up and took the risk to fight in this ring.

The purpose was to catch the eye of Peng Shizhong. Now, not only did he catch him, but he also wanted to adopt him as his son. It was such an unexpected surprise.

Being someone's subordinate is not as cost-effective as being someone's adopted son.

His subordinates are outsiders, but he is an adopted son, so the White Tiger Hall can be considered his home, and he can do things more legitimately.

What's more, Peng Shizhong is one of the Thirteen Guardians and a master of Hua Jin. It is not shameful to be his adopted son, and you can also have the support of a big tree.

From now on, anyone who wants to touch me should think carefully.

This is a blessing that many people could never hope for!
At this moment, Chen Jie wanted to kneel down on one knee and say, "I have been wandering for half my life, and I only regret that I have never found a wise master. If you don't abandon me, I am willing to be your foster father."

The call of foster father represents the allocation of so many resources.

If you want to achieve great things, in addition to personal efforts, sometimes choosing a good backer is also very important.

At present, Peng Shizhong meets his expectations very well.

However, Chen Jie was very reserved, even though Peng Shizhong wanted him to be his adopted son and to recruit his talent.

I was also tempted, but it was not a good idea to take the risk. If I kneel down and kowtow right now, it would be too embarrassing.

Therefore, Chen Jie was very hesitant.

Doctor Bai was very anxious watching from the side, and kicked Chen Jie under the table.

This is a good opportunity. Although Bai Wenjing has many connections in the fishing gang, even if he uses all his connections, he may not be able to get Peng Shizhong to accept his people as his adopted sons.

This is an opportunity you can't even ask for.

It was you, Chen Jiusi, who attracted you because of your potential. If you don't seize this opportunity, you should just live out your retirement in Xiantao Town.

What ambition?

Chen Jie looked at Doctor Bai, who said, "Promise it. Hall Master Peng doesn't accept adopted sons easily!"

"Yes, Jiusi, what a great opportunity, agree to it!"

Wu Zhong also urged from the side.

In other words, Wu Hong was not present at this drinking party.

Wu Hong was not a member of the fishing gang, so he and Zhang Liye found a place to have dinner alone.

But if he were here, he would definitely encourage Chen Jie to become his godfather.

You have to know how difficult it is to have a master of Hua Jin as your godfather.

Moreover, this Hua Jin master has nothing to ask of you. As for his retirement support, there are many people who will help him with it, but he can bring you endless wealth and power.

Only a fool would not worship his godfather!

Peng Shizhong was very patient and took a sip of wine. At this time, Feng Xuan on the side also spoke up: "Jiu Si, the adoptive father does not easily accept adopted sons. You can't reject his good intentions. Agree!"

Zheng Chuan didn't say anything.

But his eyes were full of sarcasm. This fool wouldn't refuse, right?
To be called a godfather, he must have worked hard for at least 30 years. I really hope he is the kind of young man who would say, "My future depends on my hard work." How can a real man recognize someone else as his godfather? I, Chen Jiusi, will never do such a thing!
Then Zheng Chuan was really ready to go back and set off fireworks to celebrate.

By the way, use your connections to deal with him.

My brother-in-law won't die so easily.

He didn't even have to do anything. Gu Qingfeng must be so sad that his nephew had died.

If they knew that Chen Jiusi was not Peng Shizhong's adopted son, they would probably come and deal with him in order to eliminate this young man.

What do you think of this godfather title? It means protection, power and wealth from a strong man!

Chen Jiusi, please, you are a fool, don’t agree to it!
Chen Jie knew all this, of course. He listened to everyone's advice, stood up, and bowed to Peng Shizhong very solemnly. Then he said, "The hall master is willing to accept Jiusi as his adopted son. This is a blessing that Jiusi has cultivated for eight generations. However, Jiusi is afraid that he is not talented enough and will bring shame to the hall master, so he is hesitant."

"But after listening to Master, Uncle Zhong, and Brother Feng's advice, Jiu Si understands your painstaking efforts. If the Hall Master does not abandon me and does not think that Jiu Si is incompetent, Jiu Si is willing to worship the Hall Master as his foster father and will never regret it in this life!"

Peng Shizhong burst into laughter when he heard this: "Hahaha...Okay, okay, Jiusi, I'll accept you as my adopted son. This time when I leave, you can bring your family back to the county with me."

"I will hold a ceremony for you at that time to formally confirm our father-son relationship. At the same time, I will also let the White Tiger Hall and other halls of the Fishing Gang get to know each other as their young steward!"

After hearing this, Chen Jie immediately clasped his fists and said, "I will follow the arrangements of the Hall Master."

"Still calling me hall master?"

"Father."

Peng Shizhong looked at Chen Jie and said, "Well, that's right. You go back and pack up today. Tomorrow, when you've finished your important work, you can come back to the county with me and hold a ceremony to officially recognize you as my adopted son!"

After saying this, Peng Shizhong raised his glass and laughed, "Come on, everyone, drink this glass to the full. Today, I, Peng Shizhong, accept Jiusi, this unicorn child. I am so happy that I won't go home until I am drunk!"

"Respect the Hall Master!"

Everyone raised their glasses and looked at Chen Jie with different eyes.

When they first enter the restaurant, they are heroes. Heroes are worthy of respect, but they do not have the right to command them, let alone the right to lead them.

Even in terms of position, those few ship captains are above Jiu Si.

But now it’s different. Peng Shizhong’s adopted son is the young manager of Baihu Hall. He is a real middle-level cadre, a small boss.

That's something that can really take care of you.

At this moment, the disciples of the Fishing Gang had complicated feelings, and many of them were envious, jealous and hateful.

But some things cannot be achieved by envy, and Chen Jiusi really has the ability, so everyone looked at him with admiration.

From this moment on, the gap between Chen Jiusi and them widened.

They will waste their time in this small place, but Chen Jie will move to the county town. From then on, he will be able to fly freely in the sky and fish in the sea, and become a superior person.

Sometimes life opportunities are like this.

Peng Shizhong was very happy, he really liked Chen Jie.

Some people you like and admire at first sight, while some people you know for a lifetime but are wary of each other. It's a matter of chemistry.

"Come, let's give a toast to Brother Jiu Si!"

Peng Shizhong drank a few glasses and then left the table with Doctor Bai. A big shot like him couldn't relax after sitting there for too long.

Therefore, as soon as he left, the people below became active and many came forward to toast Chen Jie.

The name also changed from Jiusi Brother to Jiusi Brother!
At this time, all the disciples of the fishing gang, including the third and fourth captains, came over to toast.

Chen Jie also toasted with them and exchanged social experiences.

The third captain looked at Chen Jie with respect and said, "Brother Jiusi, we will be your younger brothers from now on. When you become successful in the county, don't forget that you still have a group of brothers in Xiantao Town."

"Yes, Brother Jiusi, if you become rich and powerful, please don't forget us. Please support us when the time comes."

"Brother Jiu Si, please support me in the future. I'll drink this cup, please feel free to do as you please..."
