She couldn't help but see Lin Chuan in a new light once again.

"Brothers." Lin Chuan stood up, smiling, "Let's not indulge in personal idolatry. Since you acknowledge me as your elder brother, I will be your elder brother. A path needs a lamp, and I am willing to be that lamp, illuminating your path towards brightness."

"I just love hearing Brother Chuan speak," Huang Bo chuckled.

"Today, I gathered everyone because we indeed need to perfect our internal structure," Lin Chuan scanned the crowd, then said, "Although our group is small, we want it to be small but perfectly formed."

"Exactly," Zhou Kai nodded, saying, "It facilitates management and accountability."

"Brother Chuan, you tell us, how should we do it?" everyone asked in unison.

"Our group will be divided into three main stewards," Lin Chuan glanced over everyone and seriously said, "Unity Hall Steward, Jvyi Gang Steward, and Ren Yi Housekeeper."

Rustling...

Everyone immediately stood up straight. They knew that the most historic day for the group had arrived.

Perhaps, this was the day every one of them should remember most vividly, as for them, no other day could compare to today. Lin Chuan always assigned roles based on ability.

Among them, Zhou Kai's ability was definitely outstanding. Hence, Zhou Kai was appointed as the steward of Unity Hall.

Although Lu Dapao was impetuous, he was shrewd. Lin Chuan entrusted him with the position of overseeing the second steward, managing over a hundred brothers. It seemed quite appropriate.

When it came to Lu Dapao, Liu Cheng beside him eagerly watched Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan naturally noticed Liu Cheng's eyes. He understood that this guy wanted to enter the final division. Unfortunately, Lin Chuan felt that Liu Cheng was not yet capable of holding up a domain by himself.

Among all, Liu Cheng was the oldest. Initially, he was Zhou Kai's elder brother, and both Zhou Kai and Lu Dapao were his subordinates. However, everything changed after Liu Cheng came out of prison.

In the past, the juniors who followed him humbly, had now suddenly become his elder brothers. This change would be hard for anyone to accept, not to mention someone with a strong ego like Liu Cheng. Therefore, Liu Cheng was not willing, nor did he want to. He hoped to be on equal standing with Zhou Kai and Lu Dapao, which would have been the best outcome. Unfortunately…

Lin Chuan's gaze swept past Liu Cheng. In that moment of eye contact with Lin Chuan, Liu Cheng's heart sparked a strong desire, conveying to Lin Chuan that he wanted to enter Ren Yi Hall and become the Ren Yi Housekeeper.

However, Lin Chuan's gaze quickly shifted away from Liu Cheng. That instant, Liu Cheng's eyes immediately dimmed.

"Huang Bo," Lin Chuan called out.

"Brother Chuan, you called me?" Huang Bo was smoking, as he never imagined that Lin Chuan would assign the third steward position to him. He also believed it should be Liu Cheng's, considering his own lack of capability and strength.

"Yes!" Lin Chuan nodded, "The seat of the third steward, are you willing to take it?"

"Ah?!" Huang Bo was stunned, he hastily extinguished his cigarette and excitedly said, "Brother Chuan, this... this can't be true, right?"

"Of course, it's true!" Lin Chuan nodded.

Huang Bo was dumbfounded, almost unable to believe it. He turned to look at Liu Cheng, whose eyes were dim and clearly very disappointed and downhearted. Huang Bo swallowed and said, "Brother Chuan, perhaps... perhaps let Liu Cheng be the steward. I... my capabilities..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Cheng's eyes regained their light.

"No." Lin Chuan shook his head, saying, "The people I choose are never wrong. Unity, Jvyi, Ren Yi! If you are unwilling, then it will remain vacant!"

"Willing, very willing, I am a thousand times willing!" Huang Bo hurriedly nodded.

"Very good," Lin Chuan nodded.

This should be considered a reward for merit and also a qualitative leap. Lin Chuan resolved to lead this group of brothers to escape poverty and achieve wealth. They had been impoverished all their lives, living mediocrity all their lives, and it was about time they had their day to shine and gain fame.

Afterward, Lin Chuan gave each of them a wolf fang stained with blood as a token of being a steward of the group.

"Lin Chuan, why not make me a steward also?" Zhou Rui came up smiling.

"You?" Lin Chuan was startled.

"Yeah," Zhou Rui nodded, saying, "I also want to be a steward. Why can these three guys be stewards and not me?"

"What steward do you want to be?" Lin Chuan curiously asked.

"How about Fengye Hall?" Zhou Rui blinked her eyes.

"Fengye Hall?" Lin Chuan was puzzled, asking, "Why call it Fengye Hall?"

"Because the maple leaf represents self-control, people who like maple leaves have their own set of life principles, are proactive and continuously moving forward. In relationships, they tend to be more reserved, still holding onto their first love, and feel anxious about love," Zhou Rui spoke while grinning at Lin Chuan, paused, and continued, "Maple leaf maxim: Be gentle when you need to be gentle, and be fierce when you need to show strength."

Ha ha ha...

Everyone burst into hearty laughter.

"Spicy Girl, with that said, this Fengye proverb seems tailor-made for you," Zhou Kai laughed heartily. "Did you make it up yourself?"

"Nonsense," Zhou Rui snorted lightly. "I just really like maple leaves and the proverbs about them."

"Okay," Lin Chuan nodded, saying, "Since you want to be a housekeeper, then you will be Fengye Hall's housekeeper."

"Yes, yes," Zhou Rui said excitedly. "Then... who are the members of my Fengye Hall?"

"You should ask them who wants to join Fengye Hall," Lin Chuan smiled.

Zhou Rui quickly looked up at the many people present, who hurriedly looked down at their phones, pretended to stare blankly or foolishly, or turned to look out the window. No one paid attention to Zhou Rui. Clearly, they had no intention of joining Fengye Hall.

"Li Qiang, you and your guys join my Fengye Hall," Zhou Rui said annoyedly.

"My dear, please not." Li Qiang hurriedly waved his hand, saying, "I... I belong to Kai."

Li Qiang was almost crying; he was the first who didn't want to join Fengye Hall. Over the past few months, he had fully comprehended the proverb of Fengye: Be gentle when necessary and fierce when needed.

However, this girl Zhou Rui was fierce when she needed to be gentle and still fierce when it was time to be fierce.

If he followed her, he'd probably be tormented to death by her in the future.

"You!" Zhou Rui gritted her teeth.

"Spicy Girl, someone's stealing your thunder," Zhou Kai chuckled. "Since Brother Chuan gave you the title of a housekeeper, you have to fill your hall with your own efforts. Just don't force your brothers to join your Fengye Hall using threats."

"Hmph, I don't care," snorted Zhou Rui lightly, saying, "I'll just keep to my Fengye Hall alone. I am that solitary maple leaf, silently waiting for the one who understands me."

"Ha ha…" Everyone laughed heartily.

"Lin Chuan, I also want a wolftooth," Zhou Rui pouted.

"Here, you can have this!" Lin Chuan magically pulled out a Golden Wolf tooth from his pocket.

There are four wolftooth in total, all pried from the mouth of Golden Wolf, these four teeth are the Golden Wolf's most capable of tearing. Similar to human's four canine teeth, Lin Chuan only took these four teeth, with no interest in the other teeth.

Zhou Rui excitedly took the tooth from Lin Chuan's hand and wore it around her neck.

"It's beautiful." Zhou Rui said excitedly.

"Glad you like it," Lin Chuan looked at Zhou Rui.

"Lin Chuan, why didn't you encase this wolftooth in gold or silver?" Zhou Rui curiously looked at Lin Chuan and then said, "If it were inlayed with gold or silver, it would definitely look much more beautiful."

"I don't have the leisure for that," Lin Chuan shook his head.

Women like things to be beautiful, but they overlook the essence.

If a wolftooth were encased in gold or silver, it might look much more beautiful but would reduce some of its dominating presence.

"I'll enhance it myself later," Zhou Rui snorted lightly.

After a brief explanation, Lin Chuan left Feixiang Company, and Zhou Rui accompanied him. Zhou Kai, Lu Dapao, and Huang Bo stayed behind to perfect some minor details.

Li Qiang and Liu Cheng joined Unity Hall.

Gou Dan was lured into Jvyi Gang by Lu Dapao using a sugar-coated cannonball.

Huang Bo also had his own crew; he began to select three major captains for himself.

These guys were arguing about how to distribute the positions, and Zhou Rui followed Lin Chuan slowly towards Changlin Factory.

The night road is dangerous, especially near Changlin Factory where there are very few streetlights, plus the municipal workers hardly ever repair them, and the broken streetlights are not replaced or maintained. This results in a very long stretch of road without any lights.

"Lin Chuan, have you really decided to join the underworld?" Zhou Rui asked curiously.

"You are mistaken," Lin Chuan suddenly stopped, saying, "Xiao Rui, you've misunderstood."

"You've already established gangs and sects," Zhou Rui blinked and said. "Isn't that what it is?"
