In front of Wang Zhonghui's manor, Hong Yanzhong looked at the gift box handed by Ji Haotian, and his face was already showing the color of pork liver.

Hong Yanzhong knew that Wang Zhonghui was rich and rivaled the country, so it was difficult for ordinary gifts to enter his eyes, with the current strength of the Hong family, although he couldn't give any shocking gifts, but decent gifts could still be handled.

And the gift box that Ji Haotian handed him was actually a shriveled toad inside.

Like a dried corpse, it has a grayish color and looks disgusting.

If it is not packed in a gift box, but thrown on the side of the road, I am afraid that pedestrians will have to walk around when they see it.

"What's the matter, the eldest brother is not satisfied with the gift I prepared?"

Ji Haotian saw Hong Yanzhong's face so embarrassed, and asked with a smile.

"Haotian! No matter what, Boss Wang has done our Hong family a great favor this time, and he can be regarded as a favor to us! Isn't you teasing him if you let me give this kind of gift?"

Hong Yanzhong looked at Ji Haotian and asked extremely embarrassed.

"Big brother, don't worry, I prepare this gift, naturally I have my intentions, you don't have to do anything, just give this gift to him!"

The corners of Ji Haotian's mouth were slightly raised, and he explained to Hong Yanzhong.

"No! A dead toad, how can I give it away! It's too disrespectful to Boss Wang like this! In this way, let's go back to the city now, and I'll prepare a new gift for him!"

Hong Yanzhong thought about it, but still felt that what Ji Haotian had prepared was too inappropriate.

"It's too late! There are only less than twenty minutes before the banquet starts, and if we go back to the city, I'm afraid that by the time we come back, the banquet will already be over!"

Ji Haotian couldn't help but say, so he gently dragged Hong Yanzhong's arm and walked towards the manor.

At this moment, Hong Yanzhong was also very aggrieved in his heart, he had known that if this was the case, he should have prepared a gift in advance.

Although Ji Haotian kept saying that he just wanted to give gifts, how could he get his hands on this thing?

After thinking about it, Hong Yanzhong still decided to participate in the banquet, as for this gift, forget it.

Although he came empty-handed, he would be criticized for being rude.

But in the end, it is better than making a fool of himself in public and making Wang Zhonghui unhappy!

......

When the two of them entered the hall of the manor mansion, it was already full of people, and at a cursory glance, there must be at least five hundred people up, and the manor of the Wang family is also very large, so many people in it will not make people feel crowded at all.

Inside the hall, eighty-eight tables are lined up with the name tags of the guests.

On one side of the hall, there is also a long wine cabinet lined up, next to which waiters pour and serve other drinks to the guests.

Hong Yanzhong left home to join the army at a young age, and he has always been in the army for so many years, and he rarely participates in this kind of business banquet, so after entering the door, it is inevitable that he will be a little restrained, and he is a soldier, and his personality is also relatively rigid, and he is not as eloquent as others.

Compared with the people in the hall who gathered in twos and threes to chat, Hong Yanzhong seemed a little out of place, and according to the rules of the banquet, every guest had to register, because Hong Yanzhong's legs and feet were inconvenient, Ji Haotian went to the registration desk to line up for registration, and Hong Yanzhong waited quietly alone.

At this moment, in the crowd, a woman who was less than thirty years old and extremely beautiful in appearance swept her eyes casually while talking to others, and just happened to see Hong Yanzhong standing at the door, so she walked over with a glass of champagne.

"Yo, I'm not mistaken, isn't this the eldest young master of the Hong family, Hong Yanzhong?"

After the woman walked to Hong Yanzhong's side, she pretended to be surprised, and then a smile bloomed on her face, although this smile was enough to intoxicate most men, but Ji Haotian followed the prestige, and still found a trace of ridicule and meanness in this woman's eyes.

"Are you...... Bai Suya of the Bai family?"

Hong Yanzhong stared at the woman, and quickly recalled her identity.

Bai Suya is the eldest daughter of the Bai family in Qingzhou, and the Bai family, as the backbone of Qingzhou's textile industry, is also rich in capital.

"Yes, I didn't expect that Hong Dashao, you still know me!"

Bai Suya smiled coldly: "Before your Hong family had an accident, you suppressed our Bai family everywhere and almost ruined our Bai family! At the beginning, my father knelt down to admit his mistake to your father! Your father didn't give our Bai family a trace of face! Fortunately, God opened his eyes and let your Hong family finish first! This left a chance for our Bai family to breathe! Speaking of which, I really don't know whether to be happy or sympathize with you!"

"I've heard about your Bai family's affairs at the beginning! I don't think my father did anything wrong!"

Hong Yanzhong looked at Bai Suya's gloating appearance and explained: "At the beginning, your Bai family used inferior silk as the best Qingzhou silk, and was ready to sell it to a foreign merchant, and once this deal was reached, it would be a huge blow to the reputation of Qingzhou's textile industry.

"Hehe, do you really think that your Hong family is the protector of Qingzhou's textile industry?"

Bai Suya snorted coldly: "Back then, our Textile Industry Association and Chamber of Commerce in Qingzhou didn't say anything, what kind of thing is your Hong family, why are you the first bird? At that time, your father also threatened our Bai family, let us burn all the inferior goods, and replace them with fine Qingzhou silk to deliver to those foreigners, otherwise the matter of our Bai family will be ruined, and our reputation will be ruined! Fortunately, the sky has eyes, so that your Hong family has civil strife, and your father's old thing will also die! And this is the retribution of your Hong family for meddling!"

"What did you say?!"

Hong Yanzhong was already short-tempered, and when he heard Bai Suya's words insulting the old master of Hong's family, he immediately narrowed his eyes.

"What, am I not right?"

Bai Suya saw Hong Yanzhong angry, and showed a very relieved expression: "Your Hong family has an accident because you have met someone who is unladylike! Let you take a woman like Qiu Ruyue! In the end, your Hong family was ruined! The family is ruined! Haha! It's really ridiculous, your Hong family hasn't even extinguished the fire in your own backyard, how can you still have the leisure to take care of other people's affairs, maybe, this is retribution!"

"Bai Suya, you're enough!"

Hong Yanzhong heard this bloody ridicule, and his whole body trembled with anger.

"What, am I not right?"

The Bai family was seized by the old master of the Hong family because of the sale of fakes, and it was almost ruined, at this moment Bai Suya seized the opportunity, and naturally wanted to vent the evil anger in her heart, the more she saw Hong Yanzhong's business, the more she became more and more popular, and said: "Don't you say that I forgot! Isn't your Hong family bankrupt? Today's high-end banquet, how can you come to participate in such a high-end banquet? Security guards! What do security guards eat!"

"Su Ya, what's wrong?"

At this moment, a man in a suit and leather shoes also walked over with three companions.
