Chapter 1256: Chapter 1256: Turbulence Within the Qing Gang
The next day, Sun Bo and his team started working on the rger. Currently, the Hongqing Group has expanded both north and south of the Yangtze River, making it a large enterprise with many matters to handle.
anwhile, Cao Ge gathered the key mbers of the Qing Gang and Qinglu Group for a eting.
He announced the cooperation deal, which shocked everyone present, leaving their minds sowhat overwheld.
The Qing Gang and Hongn have been sworn enemies since their inception, so it’s baffling how they suddenly agreed to collaborate.
“I object.” At this point, Xiao Liu was the first to express his attitude.
He is the general manager, and now that all key mbers are present, he wants to argue logically.
Cao Ge’s face remained expressionless, sitting there as if he hadn’t heard anything.
The others were all discussing fervently, weighing the pros and cons amongst themselves.
“Gang Leader, I don’t understand, why are we cooperating with them?” One person asked, looking at Cao Ge with confusion.
The others also looked at Cao Ge with faces full of bewildernt.
Eventually, Cao Ge sighed and said, “Can’t you all see it yet? Tis are changing, and the governnt’s crackdown efforts are intensifying, putting pressure on factions like ours, which will soon have no room to survive. We can only exist as a company.”
After a pause, Cao Ge continued, “Since we’re not allowed to appear as gangs, the grudges between gangs are rendered obsolete. Future growth will be company-oriented.”
“As you can see, if our Qinglu Group continues this way, it will soon beco a second-rate enterprise dostically, unable to support us.”
After finishing his words, Cao Ge glanced around at those present.
At this mont, everyone fell silent, pondering their future. Just then, Hu Dalei, Hall Master of the Purple Fox Hall, angrily said, “I object.”
Hu Dalei is burly and robust, comparable to Tie Zhuzi.
The Purple Fox Hall is the largest hall within the Qing Gang, usually acting domineeringly, disregarding other halls.
If it weren’t for Cao Ge’s intimidation, Hu Dalei might have caused nurous disturbances.
“Why do we have to cooperate with them when we’re doing just fine? They’re nothing to us. Gang Leader, are you afraid of them?” Hu Dalei looked at Cao Ge angrily.
“Behave.” Several Hall Masters looked sternly at Hu Dalei.
Cao Ge holds a highly regarded position in their eyes, and Hu Dalei’s disrespect towards the Gang Leader infuriated them.
“Did I say sothing wrong? When has our Qing Gang ever feared anyone? We encounter economic issues and surrender, what a disgrace.” Hu Dalei retorted through gritted teeth.
“Don’t act rashly.” Cao Ge looked at him calmly.
“I’m not rash; I’m stating facts.” Hu Dalei said.
At this mont, Cao Ge looked at Hu Dalei and suddenly smirked coldly, eyes gleaming with nace.
Seeing this, Hu Dalei’s heart skipped a beat. They hadn’t seen Cao Ge’s fierceness in quite a while and, subconsciously, had labeled him as a re paper tiger.
“I… I’m not wrong.” Hu Dalei said nervously.
“Is there anyone else who disagrees?” Cao Ge asked, scanning the surroundings.
The others remained silent, lowering their heads, not knowing how to respond to such a significant matter.
“Speak up, aren’t you guys disagreeing too?” Hu Dalei urged impatiently.
But the brothers from other halls stayed silent. Maybe they saw cooperation as not entirely a bad thing.
“Minority yields to majority, this decision is approved. Xiao Liu, starting today, prepare for the rger; everyone else, organize your ongoing tasks. Since we’re cooperating, we must show our sincerity…”
This eting lasted the entire morning, ultimately reaching a unified decision.
After dismissing the eting, everyone left quietly, spreading out in different directions. They were now facing a transformation, or rather, an adaptation to the tis.
anwhile, the general manager of Qinglu Group, Xiao Liu secretly pulled Hu Dalei into his car.
“Is the Gang Leader out of his mind? How can we rge?” Hu Dalei said indignantly.
Xiao Liu quickly stopped Hu Dalei from talking and instructed the driver to drive.
“Hall Master Hu, so things shouldn’t be said recklessly; it wouldn’t be good if others heard.” Xiao Liu said with a sly smile.
He wore glasses, short in stature and overweight, giving a sowhat sleazy smile.
“What if they hear? I’ve never feared anyone.” Hu Dalei said angrily from the car.
Xiao Liu smiled mysteriously, “Hall Master Hu, your Purple Fox Hall is the largest hall in the Qing Gang, with the most territory and many brothers. However, after the rger, I’m afraid…”
“Afraid of what?” Hu Dalei asked, eyes wide open.
“Nothing.” Xiao Liu shook his head with a cryptic smile.
“The cooperation is mainly economic collaboration, not affecting us much. I’m just outraged that we’re cooperating with them, making us seem afraid of Hongn.” Hu Dalei gritted his teeth.
“It’s not as simple as you think. Haven’t you noticed, the Gang Leader already ntioned that future developnt relies on economics; otherwise, we can’t sustain everyone. His implication is gradually eliminating the Qing Gang.” Xiao Liu said bluntly.
“What?” Hu Dalei exclaid loudly, “Is that really his intention? Why didn’t I know?”
Xiao Liu sighed and shook his head, “You might not have listened carefully. That was his intention; I’m afraid you’ll have to reduce brothers in your Purple Fox Hall soon.”
“No way, not one of my hall mbers can be reduced; I’ll fight anyone who makes reduce my brothers.” Hu Dalei replied bluntly.
“I have an idea; not sure if Hall Master Hu has the guts.” Xiao Liu smiled.
“Speak, there’s nothing I, Hu Dalei, wouldn’t dare to do.” Hu Dalei raised his head arrogantly.
Xiao Liu thought for a mont and said, “The Gang Leader proposed cooperation, surely influenced by the other side. Therefore, we need to snap the Gang Leader out of it.”
“How do we make him snap out?” Hu Dalei asked curiously.
During the eting, Hu Dalei clearly saw that Cao Ge was determined and not swayed by others.
“Of course, we’ll target Hongn.” Xiao Liu whispered, “Hongqing Group’s general manager is Sun Bo, a young guy, and Hongn’s Sect Leader is Xiang Yu, also quite young, around twenty. If we handle these two…”
Xiao Liu made a throat-slitting gesture and continued, “By then, they’ll surely be in chaos, and we’ll take the opportunity to counterattack and seize Hongqing Group.”
Xiao Liu’s eyes shone with greed and anticipation, “Once we ride the wave of victory, we’ll wipe them out completely.”
Hu Dalei looked at Xiao Liu’s sinister appearance, sowhat dumbfounded, then smiled and said, “General Liu, couldn’t tell you had such audacity.”
Xiao Liu realized his loss of composure and coughed to cover his ambition…
