Li Yi nodded and said," Very well. If they come again, find a way to invite them to my place. I have some business to discuss with them."”
The matchmaker was stunned." President, why are you looking for a German officer?"”
Li Yi smiled mysteriously and said," You don't have to worry about that. Just remember, when you see them, just invite them over. Don't be rough, understand?”
The matchmaker turned her head and looked at Jiang Qing and Lou Ling, who were also confused.”
Li Yi said," Don't be surprised. You'll find out one day." Alright, go down and do what I told you to do.”
The three of them stood up and said respectfully,"Yes, President."”
When the three of them walked out of Li Yi's office, they wiped the cold sweat off their heads and looked at each other.
Jiang Qing shook his head and praised," The president is getting more and more powerful. I, an experienced man, can't even tell what he's thinking. Sigh, it looks like we're all old."”
Lou Ling also sighed and said,"Yeah, I don't know who nurtured such a powerful person." Jiang Qing, there are many masters in the Hong Triad. Have you ever seen anyone who could beat a person into minced meat?”
Jiang Qing was stunned for a moment, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.”
The matchmaker giggled and said," What are you two afraid of? Didn't the president say so? As long as she didn't betray him, he was still a very easy-going person. But speaking of which, if it was your subordinates who betrayed you, what would you do? The more powerful the president is, the more beneficial it is for us, understand?”
Jiang Qing and Lou Ling looked at each other and heaved a sigh of relief at the same time, saying," That's right, only a boss like this can make me trust him. Alright, let's go. We have to make arrangements for the president's arrangements. If he didn't do it well, his position as the hall master would be taken away. That would be embarrassing. Matchmaker, why do you think the president is looking for those two Germans?”
The matchmaker frowned and shook her head." It's not easy to guess what the president is thinking, but I think it should be related to weapons. Forget it, don't think too much about it. We just need to do what the president has instructed us to do. The other presidents will make arrangements. Let's go!" She raised her head elegantly, waved her little butt, and left first.
Jiang Qing and Lou Ling's eyes lit up. They knew that Germany's weapons had always been the best. Although the gangsters had some firearms, they were too few. Only a few leaders had them. If everyone was equipped with weapons, what would happen? The more the two of them thought about it, the more excited they became. At the same time, they thought that the mission the president had just given them was probably related to that batch of weapons. It might be to see who was stronger and give the weapons to them. This was an honor. How could they let others pressure them? The two of them looked at each other and snorted at the same time. They turned around and rushed towards their own hall.
Renaissance Society's three halls became busy all of a sudden. Due to Li Yi's integration, many training grounds were specially opened up. It was often crowded, and everyone was working hard to train themselves. It was no wonder. Who would want to be looked down upon by their brothers in the underworld? Even in the basement of the original Hongxin Entertainment building where Li Yi was, the fifty or so members of the original Hongxin Hall had been arranged by Li Yi to become the Enforcement Hall. Anyone who violated the rules of the sect would be held accountable by the Enforcement Hall. However, their strength was too weak. If they wanted to convince the masses, they could only train themselves desperately.
A month later, Li Yi was busy handling documents in his office when he heard a knock on the door. He did not even raise his head and called out for them to come in. The door opened and several footsteps could be heard. Li Yi looked up in confusion and could not help but be surprised." Master, Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, Yuan Ying, Yuan Wu, Yuan Jia? You, why are you all here?"
It turned out that Hoen Di had brought the entire Huo family here. There were suddenly a few more people in the house. Hoendy laughed. Can't I come? Your business is getting bigger and bigger. Although I don't know what you want to do by controlling these underground forces, no matter what you do, I, your master, will always support you. I think you're very short of manpower now. Look, I've brought your senior brothers and junior brothers here, hehe!”
Li Yi was a little touched. He quickly walked over and said," Master, thank you. Come, come, sit down quickly. Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, Yuan Ying, Yuan Wu, Yuan Jia, you guys sit too. Monkey, order Liu Yan and Xia Fang to pour tea. Quick!”
Eldest Brother gave a simple and honest smile. Second Brother's eyes flashed with intelligence and also carried a smile. Yuan Ying, Yuan Wu, and Yuan Jia chuckled. Yuan Jia said," Senior Brother, how could you secretly run away after touching me? You didn't even wait for me to think about it. Hehe, now I'm here.”
Li Yi smiled." Time waits for no one. Since we've decided, we must do it immediately. I happen to be short of manpower now, and I don't have anyone to train with so many people under me. It's great that you guys are here.”
Monkey saw that they were chatting and hurriedly went out with a smile. Not long after, two girls in long-sleeved cheongsams carried exquisite teapots and dozens of teacups in and poured tea for everyone. Then, he walked out.
"Looks like we made the right decision to come here this time. Oh right, Lil 'Yi, what are you planning to do with these underground forces?"”
Li Yi said," Master, you've seen it for yourself along the way. Shanghai is a place full of debauchery and money. It all depends on whether you can earn it. Although the underworld did not have a good reputation on the surface, they made money quickly. They relied on protection fees, tobacco shops, prostitutes, casinos, and so on to make money. "If I go through the open road, when the time comes, the stall will be big. No matter how strong I am, I won't be able to prevent these triads from causing trouble. Therefore, I might as well go straight to the underworld. As long as I have control over all the underworld, I can set the rules and make them change. Isn't that better?"
Huo En Di thought about it and nodded." That's good too. At least we don't have to worry about this and that. Moreover, we can regulate these underground forces, which is beneficial to the people of China. Yup, Yi, I heard from Hou Qing that you're preparing to train your men for a year before starting a war with the Hong Triad?”
Li Yi looked at Hou Qing who was standing beside him. Hou Qing lowered his head in embarrassment and said," President, this…"
Li Yi's eyes flashed with a cold light. He was silent for a few minutes until Hou Qing could not withstand the pressure and knelt on the ground. He then said coldly," Forget it, I'll let you off this time. If you do it again in the future, be careful of your head."”
Hou Qing's cold sweat was like rain, and his clothes were instantly drenched. His face was pale as he said in a trembling voice," Yes, President. I will never do it again."”
Hoendy sat there, his eyes filled with surprise and admiration. It had only been close to a year, but Li Yi, who was once a shy little boy, had grown into a tyrant. The change was too great. However, he didn't mind the change in benefits at all. Instead, he felt gratified that he had grown so much. Of course, he knew that in today's dog-eat-dog society, if he didn't have any tricks up his sleeve, he would have died long ago. There was no way for society to adapt to people, so he could only change himself and adapt to society. There was no other way.
Li Yi turned around and smiled at Hoen Di, saying," Master, I'm sorry. I've made a fool of myself." Yes, there was indeed such a thing. Why?”
Huo En Di stroked his beard and said," Hmm, if it's the Hong Sect, I have a way.”He pondered for a moment and said," How about this? I'll go to the Hong Sect in two days and meet the leader of the Hong Sect to discuss with him. Let's see if we can resolve this peacefully. What do you think?"
Li Yi thought about it and shook his head." Master, this is not appropriate. Even if you did, would you be asking the Hong Triad to submit to the Renaissance Society? Or should I listen to the Freemasons? Furthermore, I have already taken control of half of Shanghai and have already offended many of the Hong Triad's interests. We are already at odds with each other and war will break out sooner or later. Instead of forming an alliance and fighting amongst ourselves, it would be better to take them out once and for all. What do you think?"
Hoen Di frowned and sighed." You are right. Two tigers cannot live on the same mountain. It is a pity that the Hong Sect has such a strong army.”
Li Yi laughed." A wise man knows how to adapt to the times. Unfortunately, many people have been blinded by benefits and power. They have completely forgotten their original intentions. Think about the Hong Triad, how many heroes there were in the world before it, and look at today, hehe..."
Huo En was stunned for a moment, then he smiled bitterly and said," Haha, I can't win against you. Alright, you can do whatever you want. I and your fellow disciples will definitely support you.”The others also expressed their support.
Li Yi said," Thank you, Master, and all the other Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers for your support. Hmm, I'll arrange work for everyone." Senior Brother Lu Yi, Second Senior Brother Liu Qingsheng, the two of you have solid foundations. I want to arrange for you to be the instructors of Renaissance Society and teach the martial arts of the three thousand people under Renaissance Society.”
Lu Yi and Liu Qingsheng nodded at the same time. Lu Yi was a typical country bumpkin. He was very honest. On the other hand, Liu Qingsheng had a good mind. He often had a flash of inspiration and would come up with some good ideas. He was a promising talent.
Li Yi smiled and turned to look at the three anxious Huo Brothers." As for Yuanying, you'll follow Hou Qing to our secret base and help me train the newly recruited soldiers."”
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yuanjia and Huo Yuanwu heard that it was none of their business and immediately shouted," Senior Brother, what about me? What am I doing?"
Li Yi laughed and said," You guys are still young. Stay at home and practice martial arts. Read more books. We'll talk about it when you're older."”
Huo Yuanwu immediately said that he wanted to go to the secret base with Yuanying and become a general. Li Yi smiled and looked at Hoen Di. Hoen Di pondered for a moment before finally nodding his head and agreeing to Huo Yuanwu's request.
Huo Yuanjia, who was watching from the side, was a little angry and wanted to say something, but Huo En Di coughed and immediately became obedient. Huo Yuanjia was most afraid of his father, and no one else could control him.
Li Yi saw Huo Yuanjia secretly roll his eyes at him and laughed." Master, I think only you can control this kid, hehe! Master, please stay here and help me deal with the official documents. I can also do other things. What do you think?"
Hoendy stroked his beard and glanced at him. Am I old? Do you think I'm useless?"
Li Yi quickly waved his hand and said," No, no, Master. I wouldn't dare." Hehe, wasn't it because he found those official documents troublesome? I've been staying in this office every day during this period of time. I've been dealing with these things all day long. My head hurts badly. Now that you're here, you can help me deal with these things. I think you must be more experienced than me in these matters, right?”
Huo En Di smiled and said," Alright, since you've already arranged it, I'll listen to you.”
Li Yi laughed and rubbed his hands." That's a good relationship, haha! Oh, right, Master, I recently created a set of fist techniques. I omitted many unnecessary movements in the Secret Fist and combined it with many martial arts. Do you want to see it?”
Hoen Di's eyes widened and he asked curiously," Oh? Quick, show me."
Li Yi said," This, Master, I still need your help. I'm afraid it's impossible to demonstrate it alone." This fist technique of mine is called Jeet Kune Do. It's a combat technique that takes the impossible as the law and the infinite as the limited. The method used was to intercept the opponent's attack and then give the opponent a fatal blow. Speed, strength, and reflexes were the most important.”
When Bruce Lee heard this, he immediately jumped out and shouted, Bastard, you stole my things! Li Yi said,"Everyone's surname is Li, why bother?" So what if you give it to me? Bruce Lee: You're so shameless! Li Yi chuckled,"Thank you for the compliment!"...
Hoen Di was shocked. He had a vague impression of the fist path that he couldn't figure out in the past. After thinking for a while, he said,"Is that so?" Then I'll help you out and see what it means to take the impossible as the law, and to take the infinite as the limited'.”As he spoke, he stood up and walked to Li Yi's opposite side, assuming the stance of Secret Fist.
Li Yi nodded and imitated Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do starting stance. He placed his hands casually in front of his chest and his feet kept jumping left and right. Hoen Di felt a little strange when he saw this, but he did not care. He instantly launched an attack with the Secret Fist. However, no matter what kind of attack he used, it would be countered in advance, and Li Yi would instantly attack the fatal spot. The eyes of the people watching from the side lit up, especially Huo Yuanjia. Although he was still young, only ten years old, he had already mastered the Secret Fist and had gradually changed it, making it his own style. Now that he saw Li Yi's Jeet Kune Do, he had a lot of new insights.
After a long while, the two of them separated. Hoendy took a deep breath and stood on the spot, stroking his beard. He closed his eyes and thought for a while before shaking his head and praising," Your fist technique is somewhat like Wing Chun Fist, but also somewhat like Secret Fist. It also has the essence of various sects and schools. Although it's similar, it's not. It's indeed worthy of being called 'using the impossible as the law, and using the infinite as the limit'. What a powerful fist technique." Very good, Lil 'Yi, you've formed your own sect and can be called a grandmaster, haha!”To be able to teach such a genius, Hoen Di was not angry at losing the competition. Instead, he was even happier.
Li Yi chuckled and said," Master, this is nothing. I just felt that many of the moves were a waste of energy. If I omitted them, although the moves wouldn't be as beautiful, they would be more practical. This way, I would be able to kill the enemy even more. However, in today's society, with the emergence of firearms, martial arts could only be used to strengthen one's body and protect oneself. Perhaps it would decline in the future. Sigh..." He shook his head and sighed.
Hoen was stunned for a moment, then he shook his head and sighed.”
Everyone was silent for a while. Li Yi noticed that the atmosphere was a little gloomy, so he changed the topic." Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Monkey, is the welcoming banquet ready?"”
Monkey smiled and said," Of course, President. I've already given the instructions. I just saw that you guys were chatting and didn't disturb you.”
Li Yi smiled and said," Alright, Master. Senior Brothers, Yuan Ying, Yuan Wu, Yuan Jia, let's go. Let's eat first. We'll talk after we eat."”
After the welcoming banquet, Li Yi introduced Hoen Di and the rest to Jiang Qing, Lou Ling, and the matchmaker, as well as most of the brothers in charge. After the banquet ended, Li Yi arranged for the Huo Clan to move into a mansion that he had arranged beforehand. In this day and age, the Qing court was corrupt, and the government had become a mere decoration. Most of the matters were decided by some local forces. To Li Yi, who controlled half of Shanghai's forces, it was very easy for him to get a good mansion.
Hongxin Entertainment had closed down and was no longer open to the public. All the internal facilities had been changed to office functions. Hence, Li Yi decided to stay here and officially changed its name to Renaissance Society Headquarters. Early the next morning, Hoen Di brought Li Yi's seniors and juniors to Renaissance Society.
Without another word, Li Yi immediately gave them some instructions and arranged for someone to bring them to the place that he had set up yesterday. After Hoen Di handed over his duties to Li Yi, he also took over all of Renaissance Society's official duties. Huo Yuanjia followed Hoen Di and learned how to handle these matters. Of course, children were playful. Now that his senior brother had such a large territory and power, he had to take a good look around. Therefore, when Hoen Di wasn't paying attention, he slipped out. Due to the banquet yesterday, almost all the members of Renaissance Society knew the youngest brother of the president. As soon as he left, someone naturally arranged this and that. Little Yuanjia was overjoyed.
Yuanying and Yuanwu had already followed Monkey to the secret base to follow Li Yi's training plan to train the soldiers that he had recruited from various villages and other places in the past half a month. Li Yi, on the other hand, went to the matchmaker's Rouge Tower. The matchmaker had already contacted the two German officers, and today was the day of the meeting.
