The Twenty-Fifth Chapter

After the few people left, Wang Xuan rubbed his temples and pointed to the sofa beside him. "A Kun, sit down."

"Big Brother, what do you need me to do?"

Looking at Zhou Kun, who was dressed in a suit, and then thinking of those few loafers, Wang Xuan twitched his lips. This needs to change!

"Our uniform sales are huge, and I have some future designs, like one-piece black stockings, black crotchless pants, and so on."

Big Brother really has... has so much talent in this area. Watching Wang Xuan gesture and describe things so clearly, Zhou Kun smiled, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Wang Xuan, completely unaware, continued his enthusiastic explanation. "So, I've decided to acquire a clothing factory."

Seeing Zhou Kun looking a bit stunned, Wang Xuan frowned and called out, "What are you thinking about!"

"Oh, oh, nothing. Just listening. Opening a clothing factory."

"Yes, I have a task for you. Register a clothing company, and then register the copyright for our designs. Understand?"

Zhou Kun frowned. "Is this useful? Even if someone imitates us, what can they do? If we sue, they won't be fined much!"

"Are you stupid? What do we do? We're a Triad! We're finally doing something legal and legitimate. Who would dare infringe on our rights? Do they have the guts of a bear?" Wang Xuan looked at him like an idiot.

Zhou Kun slapped his forehead hard and gave a self-deprecating laugh. "I forgot, I forgot. I still thought of it like before!"

"As long as we stand on the right side of the law, hmph!" Wang Xuan pouted. "Oh, and go acquire a clothing factory. We'll produce it ourselves, and we can open stores to sell or wholesale. It'll be an industry in the future."

"Okay, I understand, Big Brother!"

Wang Xuan patted Zhou Kun's shoulder. "Work hard. You're the only college student I have right now. You'll break away from the triad. I won't take you as a subordinate in the future. You'll only be responsible for legitimate businesses. I have high hopes for you!"

"Thank you, Big Brother, I understand!"

Returning to the front desk, standing tall and legitimate had always been Zhou Kun's wish. He never thought he'd have the chance in this lifetime.

But who knew that the opportunity would suddenly appear before him.

I'll show my former classmates, colleagues, and neighbors. I, Zhou Kun, am back! Not only am I back, but I'm living better than before!

Seeing the spirited Zhou Kun, Wang Xuan nodded with satisfaction. "Go get it done!"

At night, before the opening, Wang Xuan summoned everyone at the nightclub.

He had always believed that team-building could greatly boost employee morale. Business had been good lately, and they were planning to increase the wages for the hostesses, so it was a perfect time for an motivational meeting.

Walking onto the DJ booth, Wang Xuan frowned at the messy crowd below. No discipline!

It bothered him; he had OCD.

"Ladies in the middle, waiters to the left, security to the right. Stand up straight! What's with all this noise!"

Seeing their boss unhappy, the crowd immediately fell silent. The people on stage were not only their boss but also a ruthless triad leader. Instantly, everyone quickly divided into groups.

"From now on, we are not just a nightclub, but a formal company. Don't think of yourselves as small-time thugs anymore. You need to hold yourselves to the standards of office workers. Only by setting high expectations for yourselves can you improve and achieve a better life. I've never heard of people who give up on themselves getting anywhere good."

"I, Ah Wai, Ah Ying, Ah Wai, Ah Sen, and myself were not much different from you before. We all came from the bottom. We got out by working diligently. I hope more of you will break out and become my right-hand men."

"Today is our third day of opening. I believe everyone has witnessed how popular Star Brilliance has been in the past two days. As your boss, and also your Big Brother, as long as I have something to eat, I will naturally not mistreat you."

"The biggest contribution to Star Brilliance's success today comes from the ladies present. I believe in rewarding merit. From now on, Star Brilliance will operate like other formal companies in Hong Kong. The more you work, the more you earn."

"Currently, the ladies' income is around 5,000. From now on, all ladies will get a commission on customer spending, and their income will be linked to this. The minimum monthly income will not be less than 10,000, but I hope you can earn 20,000, 30,000, the more the better."

The ladies were bolder, especially the most popular ones in the club. If Wang Xuan's words were true, they could earn twenty to thirty thousand a month. Excited, one of them couldn't help but shout, "Brother Xuan, I love you!"

Hahaha, that one shout made everyone laugh.

"Love me? I think you love money!" Wang Xuan didn't believe a single word of that.

Seeing the crowd getting rowdy again, Wang Xuan's expression turned serious. "From now on, during meetings, no random speaking! You must raise your hands! Haven't you all been to school!"

Instantly, the venue fell silent again.

"Alright, that's all for today. Work hard, everyone. I hope you all earn more money and live better lives!"

Only after Wang Xuan went upstairs did everyone breathe a sigh of relief. After all, it had only been a short time, and they hadn't had much interaction with the boss. They couldn't help but feel a little scared.

In fact, Wang Xuan didn't have much else to say. He had never been a senior executive in his previous life; he was always the one being lectured. He had thought of many things to say before the meeting, but once on stage, he drew a blank. As he went upstairs, he admired those who could speak for an hour or two in meetings. That's a skill!

On the opening night, the hostesses at Star Brilliance were incredibly motivated. Before, they hadn't paid much attention to encouraging customers to drink, as there was no commission. But tonight, the rate of alcohol consumption doubled. The next day, when Wang Xuan checked the performance, he was shocked. The previous night's revenue had directly exceeded 800,000, with many of the high-end wines, usually kept for show, being opened.

Wang Xuan had to sigh. Nothing could motivate people more than money. Star Brilliance still had potential to be tapped!

Just as he was happily anticipating earning more and more, the police force finally freed up personnel and set their sights on him, the culprit who had tarnished the police's reputation.

As night fell again and Portland Street began to light up, a large number of police officers began to gather and wait at the Mong Kok police station. In the office, Inspector Huang, the station chief, and the captains of the various teams were in a meeting.

A floor plan of the entire Mong Kok area was displayed on the projector, clearly marking all the bars, dance halls, nightclubs, small gambling dens, and other establishments.

The portly station chief stood up with a displeased expression. "This time, our police and military system is cooperating with the O Group to launch a large-scale search in the Mong Kok area. The objective is to crack down on all illegal businesses in the district and show the entire Hong Kong Island through practical action that the police in the Mong Kok area are disciplined, motivated, and capable!"
