The next day, it was a great day for the opening of the hotel, and many invited guests came to congratulate and participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony, which was very lively.

Xiao Tao arrived early in the morning, and accompanied by Han Yixue, he stood at the door of the hotel to welcome the guests.

It's just that most of the visitors were invited by Wan Donglin and Lin Zejun, Xiao Tao didn't know any of them, and the greeting was handed over to Wan Donglin and Lin Zejun.

Zuo Mingjun and Du Jianghua, the two apprentices, were naturally present, and they stayed by Xiao Tao's side and didn't dare to run around.

Xiao Tao was doing nothing, Wan Donglin suddenly ran over, and said with a nervous expression: "Master Xiao, something is wrong, there are a lot of police cars." ”

"Police?" Xiao Tao looked up and saw that more than a dozen police cars were driving this way, and then stopped not far away, and twenty or thirty policemen with loaded guns got out of the cars and walked towards the hotel.

"Does anyone want to make trouble?" Wan Donglin asked.

Xiao Tao shook his head, noncommittal, the purpose of so many policemen coming, he couldn't guess what the purpose was for a while.

Yesterday, Xiao Tao also went to the home of the director of the municipal bureau and met Director Tang, which scared Director Tang enough, and he left the invitation. Whether Director Tang comes or not, his goal has been achieved, and his purpose is to establish a prestige for Director Tang according to the means of the rivers and lakes, and warn Director Tang that he must consider the consequences when doing things, and he is also not a good man.

"If the police were here to do something, they wouldn't have parked their cars over there and walked over on foot. Han Yixue paused, and then said, "In the way of the police, they directly parked the car at the hotel, then blocked the scene, and then investigated the case or something." ”

"Mr. Han is observant and reasonable. Wan Donglin said in admiration.

Sure enough, instead of approaching the entrance of the hotel, the policemen stood guard on the perimeter, directing traffic by the way, as if they were on some important security mission.

"Looks like they're guarding us. Seeing this, Wan Donglin said in surprise.

"It's not that simple, we're not important people, do we need so many policemen to come? You see, they all have guns on them, and this posture is not like they are here to direct traffic, but like they are here to arrest people. Xiao Tao said with a sneer.

"What should I do then? Today is the big day for the opening of our hotel, if the police arrest someone here and investigate any case, then the reputation of the hotel will be over, who would dare to come to the hotel to spend?" Wan Donglin was a little nervous when he heard this.

"Don't worry, the Lord has appeared. Xiao Tao nodded to the other side, there was a person walking this way, the man was wearing civilian clothes, but it was Director Tang.

"Director Tang is here, welcome to the extreme!" Wan Donglin was overjoyed and hurriedly greeted him.

Wan Donglin has been mixed in the society for decades, and his eyes are very spicy, and when he saw Director Tang wearing clothes, he knew that Director Tang had come to congratulate him, and any scruples in his heart were swept away.

Of course, if Director Tang came over in a police uniform, it would be a different matter, he came to perform official duties on behalf of Director Tang, not to say something to congratulate, if that is the case, I am afraid it will be very bad.

Director Tang dealt with Wan Donglin very casually, then walked in front of Xiao Tao, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao, congratulations." ”

Wan Donglin and Lin Zejun looked straight, this is the number one person in the city bureau, and he can't invite him if he wants to invite him on weekdays, but now he doesn't know what kind of wind blew him over, he actually took the initiative to shake hands with Xiao Tao, could it be that Xiao Tao has a friendship with Director Tang?

Xiao Tao didn't feel any surprise, he just smiled, shook hands with Director Tang politely, and said a few polite words: "Thank you Director Tang for participating in our ribbon-cutting ceremony, which adds luster to our faces." ”

"You're welcome. Director Tang also responded casually, but his smile was a little stiff.

"Director Tang, please have tea inside, and when the ribbon-cutting officially begins, I will send someone to inform you." Xiao Tao gestured to the hotel and said.

"I'm not busy, I'll accompany Mr. Xiao here. Director Tang said.

"Oh, Director Tang, you are a big man, how can you stand here with us? Isn't this to let others say that we don't understand hospitality, so please go inside and rest. Wan Donglin hurriedly said.

"Today is the opening of Mr. Xiao's hotel, and I specially transferred a team of people to serve as security for Mr. Xiao's ribbon-cutting ceremony. Director Tang glanced at Xiao Tao deeply, and said meaningfully, "My people are still working hard over there, how can I, as their boss, be embarrassed to go in and drink tea? ”

Why did Director Tang come? Wan Donglin and Lin Zejun didn't know about it, they thought that Director Tang had a deep friendship with Xiao Tao, and they were still envious of Xiao Tao.

The meaning of Director Tang's words was only understood by Xiao Tao, what kind of security work, what kind of escort, all of them were stupid. Director Tang brought so many policemen over, the real purpose was to monitor him, as long as there was a little problem here, Director Tang might have done a lot, maybe he would deduct the black pot on Xiao Tao.

Xiao Tao is not afraid of Director Tang's tricks, his warning has been brought to Director Tang, Director Tang dares to mess around, and he will definitely not be pleased, there are secret arrays inside and outside the hotel, Director Tang dares to make trouble, and his subordinates can move.

Not long after, Jiang Wenhao came, Su Jun was by his side, but Jiang Xinghui was nowhere to be seen.

Jiang Wenhao is the mayor of Shanyang City, and his appearance naturally caused a sensation, and nine out of ten guests present recognized him and took the initiative to greet him.

Wan Donglin and Lin Zejun didn't catch up, they knew that the Jiang family was Xiao Tao's sworn enemy, and the delay in the approval of the hotel was the Jiang family's embarrassment, Jiang Wenhao appeared at this time, and they didn't know what the idea was, how could they welcome it?

It was Jiang Wenhao's actions that surprised the guests present, and also stunned Wan Donglin and others.

Jiang Wenhao walked directly to Xiao Tao, took the initiative to shake Xiao Tao's hand, said a few insincere polite words, and did not enter the hotel to rest, but just stood with Director Tang, as if this ribbon-cutting ceremony was very important to him.

However, Xiao Tao treated Jiang Wenhao as if he were dealing with ordinary people, neither particularly enthusiastic nor cold, which was surprising in the eyes of others.

Who is Xiao Tao, most of the guests don't know, it looks like a young man, and the director of the dignified city bureau and the mayor of a city came to him separately, and stood on his side, except for Xiao Tao, there is no one else in this face.

Not to mention that other people are speculating about Xiao Tao's origins, even Wan Donglin and Lin Zejun are two zhang Jingang who can't touch their heads, could it be that Master Xiao surrendered the Jiang family?

As time passed, more and more guests came to congratulate them, and more and more guests came to congratulate them.

Qiao Liwen came, he came alone, but he was not accompanied by Chen Yitong.

Xiao Tao doesn't know many people in Linzhou, Qiao Liwen is also one, even if he doesn't know each other, coupled with Chen Yitong's relationship, Xiao Tao decided to invite him.

"Congratulations to Master Xiao, Master He Xiao's business is booming. Qiao Liwen held Xiao Tao's hand, his face was full of laughter, he already knew that he was from the Xuanmen, so he changed his name to Xiao Tao.

"Thank you Boss Qiao for your face, please use tea inside. Xiao Tao said with a smile.

"I'm not busy, Master Xiao doesn't need to greet me, there are many acquaintances here, I'll go over and say hello, I'll take care of myself." Qiao Liwen said that, and walked out, first greeted Jiang Wenhao and Director Tang, and then went to greet other acquaintances.

Qiao Liwen is a distant relative of the Qiao family in the capital, Cao Yuanqing is a member of the Qiao family, and Jiang Wenhao and Director Tang are Cao Yuanqing's cronies.

"How did Xiao Tao know Qiao Liwen?" Director Tang was very puzzled, approached Jiang Wenhao's side, and whispered.

"How do I know? It seems that Qiao Liwen is quite polite to Xiao Tao, what is the origin of this Xiao Tao?" Jiang Wenhao was also a little puzzled.

"If Xiao Tao has something to do with the Qiao family, it's not easy to do. "Director Tang is a little worried, his uncle's backer is the Qiao family, and if he dares to touch the people of the Qiao family, isn't he looking for death?

"Take a look first, don't act rashly, ask the above meaning before making a decision. Jiang Wenhao's expression became solemn, and he quietly took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Cao Yuanqing.

Last night, Jiang Wenhao discussed with Director Tang, and for the sake of safety, he decided to accept Xiao Tao's invitation and participate in Xiao Tao's ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Director Tang still sang blackface and brought a team of police officers over to set up control, and when someone made trouble at the ribbon-cutting ceremony, he came out to arrest people, and by the way, he took Xiao Tao in. And Jiang Wenhao sang red face and covered for Director Tang, no matter what accidents happen, there is also a place to maneuver.

But now things have changed, since Xiao Tao knows Qiao Liwen, they must not act sloppily, they must go through Cao Yuanqing's opinion before they dare to act.

Cao Yuanqing also quickly replied with a text message, meaning to ask Jiang Wenhao and them to wait until he found out the relationship between Qiao Liwen and Xiao Tao, and then inform them.

At this time, another elderly guest came, it was Zuo Mingjun's grandfather Zuo Yichen.

Zuo Yichen was followed by several people, two of whom were carrying a large box, which was obviously a congratulatory gift.

Xiao Tao greeted him and exchanged a few words with Zuo Yichen, and Zuo Yichen ordered someone to open the box, which turned out to be a one-meter-high statue of the God of Wealth, shining golden and lifelike, and at a glance he knew that it was made of pure gold.

"The statue of the God of Pure Gold, how much gold does it take?"

"It's coming to Master Xiao again. ”

"The mayor, the director, and the Qiao family are also here, and now even the old man Zuo is here, and he has sent such a valuable gift, Master Xiao's face is really big. ”

The Zuo family is one of the wealthy families in Linzhou, and none of the businessmen present who did not know Zuo Yichen exclaimed.
