Chapter 700: The Funeral
Half past nine in the morning.
With the first gong of the Lotus Funeral Parlor, the sky that had been gloomy all morning finally fell a drizzle, and after the end of summer, an autumn rain and a cool, although it is in the tropics, but still with the rain the air began to cool, a black umbrella was propped up inside and outside the funeral home, making the already solemn place appear more deep.
"Longxing Trading Company sent two wreaths and three couplets, wishing Confucius to live forever!"
A loud and high-pitched voice resounded through the sky at the door of the mourning hall.
Long Yu, chairman of Longxing Trading, who is also one of the four major trading companies in Aocheng, personally sent a wreath Wanlian and bowed in front of Kong Jiangyuan's portrait to offer incense.
The family replied. The master of ceremonies said loudly.
"Sister-in-law, nephew, please mourn, if you need anything in the future, just open your mouth, I, Long Yu, will definitely go to the soup and make a modest contribution to Kong Sheng's family. ”
After Kong Jiangyuan's death, he left behind his wife and a daughter, and his daughter was in Nianguozhong, and the three of them appeared in the mourning hall today as family members to express their gratitude to every guest and friend who came to mourn.
"Thank you, Mr. Long. ”
Kong Jiangyuan's wife, Meng Wanru was dressed in plain clothes, bending down and bowing to thank you.
"Wanxin Department Store Group sent three wreaths and two couplets, wishing Kong Sheng Wanqing!"
After the chairman of Longxing Commerce and Trade left, the chairman of Wanxin Department Store walked in immediately and expressed regret to Meng Wanru's mother and daughter.
"Please rest assured, sister-in-law, in the future, the matter of Yuelong is the matter of my Wanjianghe, even if there is anything, it has always been my wish to do something for Yuelong Company. ”
These are Kong Jiangyuan's former friends, and they are deeply admired for Kong Jiangyuan's transformation into the Yuelong Club and the behavior of becoming a large-scale freight trading company.
"Thank you, Mr. Wan. Meng Wanru took her daughter and bowed in return.
……
Before Kong Jiangyuan's death, whether it was on the road or in business, his reputation was very good.
Atmospheric, informal, loyal and courageous, his death attracted the condolences of many bigwigs from all walks of life, this alone far exceeded the one and a half hours that Sun Ruhai speculated before, from nine o'clock in the morning to half past ten now, two and a half hours have passed, and the guests and guests who came to mourn outside the funeral home are still crowded, without any signs of weakening.
"You can't wait any longer, the auspicious day of the funeral is coming soon, you go out to screen the remaining important guests, let them come first, and the others will send wreaths and couplets, so that people don't have to come in, it's too late." ”
Sun Ruhai walked to the master of ceremonies and whispered.
"Yes. ”
The master of ceremonies is also a person from Yuelong Commerce, and when he heard this, he nodded and was about to suspend his condolences, but when he saw the list in his hand, he was stunned for a moment, and then raised his head and shouted loudly.
"Charles Poly, vice chairman of Poly Group, sent a bouquet of flowers, wishing Kong to live forever!"
The people from Poly Group are here?
As soon as this name appeared, everyone in the mourning hall cheered up and set their eyes on the door.
I saw a foreigner wearing a black suit and white shirt, black tie and black leather shoes holding a white rose in his hand, walking in from outside the door and standing in front of Kong Jiangyuan's posthumous statue.
Charles Paulie.
The vice chairman of Poly Group, who holds most of the industries of the Poly family in Aocheng, is also the operator of the actual industry, and his sudden appearance today can be said to have given enough face to Yuelong Trading Company, because Yuelong Freight Trading Company has been known as "one of the three major companies in Aocheng" since the day it was established, and has been not recognized by the Poly family.
They believe that only a family with Portuguese blood in its body can be called a noble family.
And Kong Jiangyuan, a wharf worker from the mainland, dares to claim to be on an equal footing with the Poly family, which is unacceptable to them who have always been on top.
"May there be no pain in heaven, and the Lord be with you, Amen. ”
Charles Pauly stood in front of Kong Jiangyuan's posthumous statue, painted ten queens on his chest with one hand, and placed roses on the funeral coffin to mourn in a unique Western way.
"Although I have never been in contact with you, Mr. Kong is a respectable opponent, and in the future, the Poly family will put aside some of their previous prejudices, hoping to see Yuelong Commerce and Trade get better and better, and bring better development here. ”
Charles Paulie walked up to Meng Wanru and said regretfully.
"Thank you, Kong Sheng will definitely be relieved to see today's situation in the Heavenly Spirit. ”
Meng Wanru bent down and said politely.
"By the way, I heard that the murderer of Mr. Kong has not been caught yet, may I ask Madam, who is so bold to dare to attack Mr. Kong here, this is simply lawless. ”
Charles asked in a low tone with a serious face.
"Thank you for your kindness, the company is investigating, I have no right to ask about them, but I believe that the murderer will soon be brought to justice, and the truth will be revealed. ”
Meng Wanru replied politely.
Although she has never been a full-time housewife who doesn't ask about the company, as a woman from Kong Jiangyuan, she is naturally not an ordinary person.
Meng Wanru could easily hear from Charles's words the meaning of looking down on the ability of Yuelong Trading Company, such a large company, it didn't even know who the murderer of the chairman was, and once it was spread, it would inevitably become the laughing stock of many people.
As a woman, she can't afford this responsibility.
But as Kong Jiangyuan's woman, she must save face for her husband and the company.
"This ...... this"
Charles's eyes were obviously a little disappointed, but he still smiled and said: "If the matter is not handled well by Yuelong Company, please feel free to contact me, it is an honor to serve the lady, it is an honor as a gentleman." ”
Charles took out a business card from his arms and handed it to Meng Wanru, but Meng Wanru did not reach out to take it.
Her husband's body was still beside her, so she went to pick up a business card from his former rival, which was an insult to her and a humiliation to the entire Yuelong business.
"Let me keep the business card first, of course, Yuelong has the ability and strength to deal with this matter, I hope to have more cooperation with Poly in the future, and thank Charles for his condolences, thank you. ”
At this moment, Sun Ruhai suddenly appeared, stretched out his hand to take the business card in Charles's hand, and said that he was sending off the guest.
"Definitely. ”
Charles glanced at Sun Ruhai, turned around and strode away.
"This person has always been two-faced in the business, a few years ago, when Yuelong just transformed, he lost more than one billion in his hands, I estimate that he has already set his sights on us, during this time I will send someone to protect you and your niece to ensure the safety of your lives." ”
Sun Ruhai looked at the background of Charles's departure and said with some concern.
"Thank you. Meng Wanru nodded.
At this time, the master of ceremonies had already taken advantage of the gap to inform the people below, and began to transfer the guests waiting at the door to another room, put down the gifts and write their names, and then they could leave.
"Sister-in-law, let's rest for a while, Kong Sheng is about to leave, the road is bumpy, you have to be careful of your body. ”
Sun Ruhai glanced at Meng Wanru's slightly bulging lower abdomen when she spoke, she only found out three months ago that she was pregnant with Kong Jiangyuan's child, but unfortunately the child was not born yet, and her father had already passed away.
"No, let the child accompany his father more, as soon as the day passes, the yin and yang will be separated, let the child spend more time with him, Kong Sheng must also want to stay with the child more......"
Meng Wanru's tears had dried up last night, and at this moment she was numb in her heart, and she just wanted to spend more time with her husband and let her children spend more time with their father.
However, at this moment, a commotion suddenly sounded outside the door, Sun Ruhai frowned, without any hesitation, and strode directly towards the door.
"What's going on? I don't know where this is? Why is it so noisy!"
Sun Ruhai walked out with a gloomy face, and saw that there was a group of young people in jeans and white T-shirts at the door, who were confronting the people under him, and the air was full of gunpowder.
"Mr. Sun is a person from Hong Kong Island Flying Dragon. ”
The security manager of Yuelong Trading stood beside Sun Ruhai and stared at the group of people coldly and said.
