Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Imperial Hall
It was a middle-aged couple who spoke with a good temperament.
"Uncle, aunt?"
Zhang Heng was very surprised when he saw the two.
That's right, this is another relative of a loser, if he wants to change to something else, maybe he doesn't even have the interest to deal with it at all, but the identity of these two people is a little special, they are Jiang Hongli's parents!
Although it is said that Jiang Hongli's family does not have a good relationship, and they can't get in touch with it a few times a year, after all, there is such a relationship, so Zhang Heng is also very polite to them.
"Is it really you?" Uncle Jiang Chuan frowned slightly: "Why did you come here?"
"A friend invited me to a banquet. Zhang Heng replied truthfully.
"Banquet?"
Jiang Chuan smiled strangely.
My aunt shook her head, pointed to the parked car at the entrance of the hotel, and motioned for Zhang Heng to take a look.
At a glance, luxury cars are raining down, densely parked in all locations, Bentley, Porsche, Rolls-Royce, Mercedes-Benz...... There is no car below the million level, especially there are many cars here, and the pictures hanging are a string of numbers, and many people see it from afar and subconsciously avoid it.
Everyone knows that there are big people here, but I'm afraid that the entire Jinghai City, and even most of the powerful people in Dongzhou are here.
"Those who can come here are all people with status and status, Xiao Heng, I haven't heard the news that the Zhang family has reconciled with you. My aunt said.
"You don't believe me?"
Zhang Heng lacked a good impression of the two, and it was only because of Jiang Hongli's relationship that he was polite to them, but now the two questioned him, but they eliminated all this politeness.
He shook his head and said, "I'm coming to the banquet, it's all begging for me, why use the relationship of the Zhang family?"
"Others begging you?" Jiang Chuan smiled: "I think you don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick." ”
He glanced at Zhang Heng disdainfully, shook his head and said.
"Your current level is too far behind, there are some things you can't touch at all, such as the theme of this banquet, you absolutely don't know. ”
"Oh?" Zhang Heng really didn't understand.
Jiang Chuan looked unexpected, walked a few steps to the door of the hotel, and distanced himself from Zhang Heng before turning around and saying proudly.
"Today's banquet was held by Governor Zhao, and most of the wealthy and powerful people in Dongzhou are here. ”
"And the theme of the banquet is for the legendary Immortal Master Zhang!"
"Immortal Master Zhang?" Zhang Heng was stunned.
Aunt took Jiang Chuan's hand and said.
"At your level, you definitely don't know Immortal Master Zhang, in short, you'd better not make trouble today, otherwise no one will be able to save you. ”
With that, the two walked in.
Zhang Heng stood in the distance, touched his nose, and felt that this matter was a little interesting.
If you let your uncle and aunt know that the so-called Zhang Xianshi is him, I don't know what their expressions will be.
Zhang Heng naturally didn't have an invitation, he called Boss Zheng directly, and it didn't take long for him to come out in a hurry.
"Immortal Master Zhang, you can count it. "He's always sweating profusely, and he's working hard.
Zhang Heng nodded and asked.
"The big man who asked you to raise horses is Governor Zhao?"
Boss Zheng was startled at first, and then smiled bitterly.
"I can't hide it from you, I wanted to surprise you. ”
"Governor Zhao listened to your magical story and specially invited you to the banquet, wanting to see your style. ”
Zhang Heng already knew this, and when Boss Zheng finished speaking, he asked.
"What is the origin of this Governor Zhao?"
"Zhao Hekuan Zhao Governor is a child of the family, since he was a child of the Qingzhou family, after graduating from university, he went down to the grassroots level, accumulated ten years of experience, and then rose to the top, at the age of forty, he has been at the provincial and ministerial level, probably five years ago, he went further, sat in the position of governor of Dongzhou. "As a businessman, Boss Zheng needs to always grasp the direction of the wind, and he can't understand this kind of political information anymore.
Zhang Heng understood, it turned out that Zhao Hekuan was a child of a family, but he was completely different from the grassroots-born Shi Guoqing, and he continued to ask: "Since he is a child of the Qingzhou family, why did he come to Dongzhou to serve?"
"This is the unspoken rule of our Chinese officialdom, the Zhao family is already covering the sky with one hand in the Qilu area, if it sits in such an important position, wouldn't it be the emperor of Chengtu? Boss Zheng was very clear and replied in an orderly manner.
Seeing that Zhang Heng didn't seem to have any doubts, he made a gesture of invitation.
"Governor Zhao has been waiting for a lot, Immortal Master Zhang, please come in. ”
Zhang Heng looked at Boss Zheng with a humble face, smiled faintly, and walked in first.
He knew in his heart that when he left, those who knew him would know that the current Zhang Heng was no longer what it used to be.
From now on, no one can see him as a loser who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it.
This is a great honor for many people, but Zhang Heng doesn't have much feeling in his heart.
He will not be fluctuating for some fame and fortune for a long time, everything is just going with the flow.
Whether it's a small person or a big person, what others think, it's all someone else's business, what does it have to do with him?
Inside the ballroom.
Jiang Chuan led his wife to look for a few minutes, and finally found his location.
At the table with him were all local families in Jinghai City, he shook hands one by one, greeted each other, and after a while did he sit down and look at the father and son opposite.
But it was Zhang Chengan and Zhang Yuan's father and son.
"I didn't expect to arrange us to sit together, but Boss Zheng has a heart. Zhang Chengan took a sip of tea and said with a smile.
Although Zhang Heng's mother died mysteriously in the early years, which made the Zhang family and the Jiang family have some contradictions, but because of the deliberate cover-up by both parties, the contradictions were forgotten within a few years.
"Don't look at Boss Zheng's wide heart and fat body, he has a seven-trick heart, you look at the seating arrangement here, we are related to each other, those who have business dealings are together, they don't deal with each other, and those who hate each other should be a little distance......" Jiang Chuan observed the surroundings as soon as he came in, and came to his own conclusion.
"That's just for us mid-level families. Zhang Chengan looked at the banquet hall, and a trace of envy flashed in his eyes: "The one who can sit in it is the real big man." ”
The banquet hall is large, and the layout is like the palace of the ancient European royal family, with a red carpet in the middle, spreading all the way inside.
Sitting in the grand ballroom were all medium-sized families, as well as ordinary wealthy merchants.
When the red carpet spread to the second medium-sized banquet hall, there were people sitting in the official face, those children of the family with roots.
The last banquet hall could only accommodate three tables, and it was three hundred and fifty meters away from where Jiang Chuan and the others were sitting, and even if they looked at it with their feet on their feet, it was impossible for them to see the situation inside.
That banquet hall, also known as the Imperial Hall, was only allowed to sit in it by the real bigwigs.
"In fact, the Zhang family can barely sit in the second banquet hall, but because of the conflict with the Luo family, they have to be arranged here. Jiang Chuan said.
He saw Luo Jianguo from a distance, leading the Luo family and his party to sit in the second banquet hall.
"That's not to blame Zhang Heng, that little brute, it will cause us trouble!" Zhang Yuan gritted his teeth hatefully, he still didn't understand, how did Zhang Heng get involved with the Luo family?
Luo Yi, who used to be dismissive of him, why did his temperament suddenly change so much now?
mentioned Zhang Heng, Zhang Chengan also hated itchy.
"Xiao Heng, he's here today. My aunt finally found a chance to speak, and said with a smile: "It's at the door at that moment, I guess it's time to come in." ”
"I guess it's the invitation given to him by the Luo family again. Zhang Yuan was very disdainful: "This kid will rely on women." ”
"Don't worry, even if the Luo family gets him an invitation, he is not a member of the Luo family, and it is impossible to sit inside, I guess, it will be very good to be able to sit down at the door, we can't see him, out of sight is clean, it's good." Zhang Chengan said with a sneer.
Jiang Chuan smiled and nodded, and was about to speak, when suddenly his eyes swept away, but he stood up in shock, as if he had seen a ghost.
How can it be?
On the red carpet, a group of people walked.
At the front, it was Zhang Heng with his hands behind his back, he was not in a hurry, and he walked very calmly.
And behind him, there was the honest and terrified Boss Zheng, whose face was full of flattery, and he couldn't stop talking to Zhang Heng.
Behind them is a group of bodyguards in suits and leather shoes.
"Why does he have such pomp?" Zhang Yuan was stunned.
"If I'm not mistaken, Boss Zheng is the host of the banquet, and the person he personally greeted should be about to enter the Imperial Hall, right?" Jiang Chuan swallowed his saliva, and the palm on his chest trembled slightly.
"Imperial Hall?"
Zhang Chengan took the case.
"Impossible!"
"What kind of person can sit in the Imperial Hall? That's where Governor Zhao and Immortal Master Zhang are!"
"What kind of thing is Zhang Heng, why can he get in?"
However, no matter what he said or thought, Zhang Heng stepped on the red carpet and had already entered the second banquet hall.
He didn't mean to stop at all, he walked directly through the Luo family, passed through the banquet hall, and stepped into the imperial hall in the envious and puzzled eyes of countless people.
