Chapter 454 They choose not to come, that is their choice
"Huo Han is biased! He forced Zhang Jie to leave, but now he's being so lenient with Lian Haolong's people!" Some people cursed softly in the corner. Their voices were quiet, but Huo Han could hear them clearly.
Huo Han naturally understood that this was a challenge to his leadership authority. He took a deep breath, knowing that he couldn't let this misunderstanding continue to spread.
He once again gathered all the gang members and stood at the front of the room, his gaze sweeping across every face. "I want everyone to understand that anyone who breaks the gang's rules will be punished, regardless of whether they're those I brought in or those Lian Haolong left behind." His voice was resonant and forceful, clearly a response to the previous discussion.
"Zhang Jie's departure was his own choice. He left because he couldn't accept the rules. Li Sheng, on the other hand, although he made a mistake, chose to admit it and accept the punishment, so he can stay." Huo Han looked at the gang members, calling out their names one by one. "Everyone should understand that the gang's rules are the foundation of our order, and no one can break them..."
After Huo Han finished his speech, the gang hall fell silent. They looked at Huo Han as if they saw a solid wall. His determination and his principles were like unshakable mountains.
Just like that, the gang calmed down again, and everyone understood one fact - in this gang, no matter who it is, as long as they break the rules, they must be punished, no matter whether they are the people he brought with him or the people Lian Haolong left behind.
Huo Han's leadership, his determination, and his fairness became a mountain in their hearts, making them understand that only by respecting the rules can they gain a foothold in the gang.
That night, the previously peaceful gang situation erupted in chaos. Several gang members gathered, seeking an explanation from Huo Han. Faced with this sudden uproar, Huo Han remained unfazed. Instead, he assigned an insider to explain the entire incident.
However, the gang members were no longer interested in explanations. Their arguments grew louder, and they even attacked those who knew about the situation. Seeing the situation escalate, Huo Han made a split-second decision. To assert his authority, he fired his rifle into the air. With a thunderous bang, it instantly silenced all the noise. Startled, fearing the situation would escalate, the arguing was temporarily halted. However, this did not resolve the situation; instead, it only exacerbated their resentment.
Huo Han looked at the chaotic scene before him and knew that this situation could not continue. He needed to establish a set of rules as soon as possible, otherwise everyone would feel unfair, and management would become even more difficult.
The next day, Huo Han convened the first general meeting since the gang's merger. He issued a notice requiring everyone to attend. This meeting was the first step in reorganizing the gang, establishing rules, and establishing his authority.
At the beginning of the meeting, Huo Han stood at the front of the conference room, looking coldly at all the gang members. His eyes were as cold as ice, without a trace of wavering.
"I know you have some dissatisfaction and doubts in your hearts." Huo Han's voice was calm and firm. "But I want to make it clear to you that our gang needs rules, not just anyone who can do whatever they want."
He continued, "I will establish a set of fair and just rules for our gang. Anyone who breaks the rules will be punished accordingly. And anyone who abides by the rules will be respected."
At this meeting, Huo Han used his actions to show all the gang members that he was not only their leader, but also their friend, their brother, and someone they must respect. He made everyone understand that only by abiding by the rules could they survive in the gang.
Huo Han sat on the podium, his eyes piercing the gang members below. Time ticked by, but his face remained expressionless. According to the plan, the meeting should have begun, but he knew some people had deliberately not arrived.
In front of him was a list of gang members, and he wrote down the names of those who were late. He was determined not to hold the meeting until everyone arrived.
"Boss, shall we start now?" an assistant asked cautiously.
"No, wait." Huo Han's voice was cold.
The people in the audience were getting impatient. Some of the earlier arrivals saw Huo Han's demeanor and knew something was wrong. They quickly pulled out their phones and sent messages to the other brothers: "Hurry up! The boss is angry. We can't have a meeting until everyone is here!"
After receiving the news, some people rushed over, but some still did not show up.
Time slipped away again, and the atmosphere in the conference room grew increasingly tense. Huo Han remained seated, motionless, his gaze stern. He knew he couldn't yield at this moment, or his authority would be challenged.
Finally, most of the people were present, with only a few who were deliberately delaying their arrival. Huo Han stood up, his eyes still cold and hard: "Let's have a meeting."
Everyone quickly sat down and the meeting finally began.
Huo Han began his speech: "I know some of you are deliberately late, and I have written down your names. I want to make it clear to you that gang discipline is not a joke, and you cannot challenge it at will. If you think you are more important than the gang's rules, then I tell you, you are wrong."
His voice was like a cold wind, piercing everyone's ears: "From now on, the gang's discipline is an iron rule. Anyone who dares to violate it will pay the price."
Huo Han's speech shocked everyone. They finally understood that Huo Han was not someone to be trifled with, and his authority could not be challenged. (cbci) This meeting made everyone realize that from now on, the gang's rules were an ironclad law they must abide by.
Huo Han looked at the seats in front of him. There were still two empty seats. Too much time had passed, and his patience had reached its limit. He stood up and knocked on the table.
"There are two empty seats in the conference room. I know who they are," Huo Han said in a calm but firm voice. "They chose not to come, and that's their choice. We've waited long enough. Now, the meeting officially begins."
People looked at each other, their faces showing unease. Huo Han's attitude made them realize that today's meeting would be a storm.
Huo Han cleared his throat and began the formal agenda: "First, I want to talk about the issue of discipline. Everyone in our gang must abide by the rules, and that includes being on time for meetings. Two people didn't show up today, so I'll let it go this time. But next time, I won't tolerate it."
His eyes moved among the group, making sure everyone understood what he meant.
"Next, we will discuss the issue of land division. The previous arrangements will be changed today."
Everyone felt nervous, especially the subordinates of the two people who did not come. They knew that this change might affect their interests.
Huo Han continued, "Two people didn't come today. Their territories were originally quite good. However, starting today, their territories will be revoked and reallocated to other people."
The conference room was in an uproar, with people whispering and excited. Territory was of vital importance to them, and Huo Han's decision directly affected their interests.
"Don't yell!" Huo Han said sternly. "This is the gang's decision, and it cannot be questioned. I believe most of you understand this decision. Gang discipline is an iron rule. Anyone who dares to challenge it will pay the price."
The meeting room gradually quieted down, and Huo Han's authority was reaffirmed.
"I know some people might be unhappy about this," Huo Han said gravely, "but I want to emphasize that only iron discipline can maintain the unity and stability of our gang. Today's decision is for the long-term development of the gang."
Huo Han's voice was firm and powerful, and his eyes lingered on everyone's face, making sure they all understood his intentions.
After the meeting, people left the conference room with mixed emotions.
While Huo Han's decision displeased some, they also understood that gang discipline must be maintained. Huo Han stood by the window, gazing out at the street, his heart heavy. He knew that today's decision was just the beginning, and the gang still had a long way to go.
The two men walked out of the tavern in a sullen mood. When they went to collect the management fee, they were told it had already been collected. This made their anger rise. They thought that this must have been arranged by Huo Han. The two people who didn't come had their territory revoked, and now they were being wronged.
"I don't believe Huo Han would do this." One person said angrily, "This must have been done by the people Lian Haolong left behind."
"No matter who it is, I must get an explanation today." Another person said angrily.
The two men walked towards the venue in a rage. Once there, they found that it was indeed managed by people arranged by Huo Han. They were furious and rushed over to fight.
"What's wrong with you two? If you have something to say, just say it and stop making trouble." A tall man on the other side pulled out a gun and said coldly.
"Why do you charge us management fees? Is this Huo Han's arrangement?" one of them roared.
"Yes, if you have any problems, go find Huo Han. Don't make a scene here." The tall man's eyes were cold.
The two men were pointed at gunpoint and dared not even to breathe a word, so they had to bite the bullet and go find Huo Han.
After they found Huo Han's place, they were informed that Huo Han was busy and asked them to wait outside.
… … …
"What? Huo Han doesn't want to see us?" someone said indignantly.
"Stop talking and wait." The other person also looked dissatisfied.
As time passed, the two men's anger grew stronger and stronger. They began to wonder if Huo Han was deliberately ignoring them, if he looked down on them.
Huo Han was in the office and he felt bad when he learned that these two people came to see him. He knew why they came, but he didn't want to see him so soon.
