Chapter 539 [April Fool's Day, the show begins!] 】
Babaoshan Cemetery is located in the east of Babaoshan Mountain, Shijingshan District, Yanjing, north of the extension of Chang'an Street, which is the most famous and highest garden-style cemetery in China, and many founding heroes are buried here.
Like other founding heroes, the old lady of the Xiao family will also be buried in Babaoshan Cemetery.
At eight o'clock, the red sun rose completely, and the morning light poured on the streets and alleys of Yanjing City, in the Babaoshan Funeral Parlor, the members of the Xiao family led by Xiao Yuanqing wore linen and filial piety, and stood in front of the funeral shed of the old lady of the Xiao family.
After eight o'clock, people continued to arrive at the funeral home to worship the old lady of the Xiao family, most of whom were big men in the army, basically belonged to the disciples of the old lady of the Xiao family, and they all came from other places, as for ...... The local military bigwigs in Yanjing paid their respects yesterday.
"At this point, everyone should have come." After nine o'clock, the military bigwigs who came to worship the old lady of the Xiao family left one after another, Xiao Yuanjiang's little grandfather Xiao Yuanjiang and Xiao Yuanqing walked out of the spirit shed and talked in a low voice, "The Ye family has been infiltrating the army all these years. Fang, although we were wary, we still underestimated the strength of the Ye family after all-the Ye family's heavy punch was really ruthless enough. ”
Xiao Yuanqing was silent when he heard this, originally he thought that after the death of the old lady of the Xiao family, the Xiao family would fall into the biggest predicament in decades, but he was confident that he would not break his bones, but the facts were beyond his expectations, and several powerful figures from major military regions did not come to worship the old lady of the Xiao family.
In other words, those people were likely to have thrown themselves into the arms of the Ye family.
"There is always no shortage of white-eyed wolves in this world, I hope they don't regret it." Seeing that Xiao Yuanqing didn't speak, Xiao Yuanjiang frowned. Said in a deep voice.
Xiao Yuanqing glanced up at the spirit shed of the old lady of the Xiao family, and said with a frown: "If nothing else, the Ye family's hole cards have been opened, and there will be no more actions in the future." ”
Xiao Yuanqing's voice fell, and before Xiao Yuanjiang could reply, he saw Xiao Mad wearing linen and filial piety walking out of the spirit shed with his mobile phone.
Out of the spirit shed, Xiao Mad glanced at Xiao Yuanqing and Xiao Yuanjiang brothers. But he didn't say anything, but walked to the distance with the phone to connect it.
About three minutes later, Xiao Mad ended the call. walked straight to Xiao Yuanqing and Xiao Yuanjiang, and said, "I'm going out in the afternoon." ”
"The wake hasn't been twenty-four hours yet, what are you going out for?" Hear Xiao Mad 's words. Xiao Yuanjiang took the lead in asking.
For a long time, Xiao Mad has not been close to his little grandfather Xiao Yuanjiang, and when he heard Xiao Yuanjiang's words at this time, his eyebrows raised slightly: "There is something important to do." ”
"What is more important than keeping a wake for your old lady?" Although Xiao Yuanqing doted on Xiao Mad , he was also a little dissatisfied when he heard Xiao Mad 's words.
"Soon, you'll know." Xiao Crazy sold a pass.
"You ......" Xiao Yuanjiang stretched out his hand and pointed at Xiao Mad and was very dissatisfied with Xiao Mad's attitude and approach.
Xiao Yuanqing also showed his dissatisfaction on his face: "Must go? ”
"A must!" Xiao Mad's face was categorical.
"Come back early."
When Xiao Yuanqing heard this, he stared at Xiao Mad for a while, knowing that Xiao Mad was in character. Knowing that once Xiao Mad decided to do something, even the Heavenly King Lao Tzu would be difficult to stop, so he didn't blame anything anymore, just let Xiao Mad come back early.
At the same time, an important part of the building. Dong Wenbin, who is the eldest of the Dong family, held his mobile phone, looked at the text message he had just received on his mobile phone, and looked pensive.
"Buzz...... Buzz ......"
Then before Dong Wenbin could come up with a reason, the sound of the mobile phone vibrating sounded, and the owner of the call was Dong Wenbin's best friend. Withdrew from the Red Beijing Society with him and joined the Winter and Summer Meeting.
"Dong Shao, did you receive Qin Dongxue's text message?"
"Roger."
"Qin Dongxue organized a party at this time, it should be to stabilize people's hearts, and I don't know what hole cards Pei Donglai will show."
"You'll know when you go - you inform the others and let them go to the winter and summer clubhouse on time,
"Okay."
Seeing that the dead friend agreed, Dong Wenbin stopped talking nonsense and hung up the phone directly.
"Pei Donglai, so far, the only hole card you can play is the Xiao family's card, if you can't move out of this backer, Rao is a mouthful, and you can't stabilize everyone's hearts." Dong Wenbin put his mobile phone on the table, lit a cigarette, took a puff, and muttered to himself.
……
From two o'clock, cars arrived in the parking lot of the Hongjing Club, and after the members of the Winter and Summer Club got out of the car, they entered the club building one after another and went to the conference room on the top floor.
At 2:20, there were already many people sitting in the huge conference room, among which the group of powerful children led by Dong Wenbin had already arrived, but a few of the powerful children led by Qin Dongxue had not arrived, and none of the backbone of the group of winter and summer meetings led by Xiao Mad were present.
"Xiao Mad they won't come, right?"
"I didn't come at this time, so I shouldn't be there."
"I think so too, such a big thing happened in the Xiao family, how could he have the heart to come to the party?"
……
Seeing that Xiao Mad and the others were not present, many members of the Winter and Summer Club communicated with each other, and their tones were a little dignified, obviously they all knew that the Winter and Summer Club would be able to make a name for themselves in Beijing in a short period of time, in addition to Qin Dongxue digging the corner of the Red Beijing Club, which made Dong Wenbin and others defect, and more importantly, Bai Guoyu's son and Xiao Mad and his group of dead friends joined.
Under such circumstances, if Xiao Mad and his group of sworn friends did not attend this gathering, it would undoubtedly make the unstable winter and summer completely disheartened.
Crunch!
At 2:25, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and Xiao Mad led a group of his dead friends into the conference room.
"Huh!"
In the conference room, including Dong Wenbin, the members of the Winter and Summer Party who had arrived in advance set their sights on the door of the conference room.
Following their gaze, it can be clearly seen that Xiao Mad at the head of the group frowned, looking preoccupied, and the powerful children of the capital who followed Xiao Mad also had serious expressions.
Ignoring everyone's gaze, Xiao Mad led a group of dead friends to their respective positions and took their seats, and the conference room fell into a brief silence. The atmosphere was slightly oppressive.
At 2:28, the silence in the conference room was broken again, Qin Dongxue took Xia Yina into the conference room, but Pei Donglai, who was the president, did not appear.
Well?
Seeing that there were only Qin Dongxue and Xia Yina, many members of the Winter and Summer Association inadvertently frowned.
Sensing everyone's gaze, Qin Dongxue's face did not change, and she took Xia Yina to her place.
Let's go! Let's go!
Soon. The sound of high heels hitting the ground stopped abruptly, and Qin Dongxue walked to his place and took a seat.
"The president has very important things to deal with. I am not in a position to attend today's meeting, which I chair. ”
After taking a seat, Qin Dongxue leaned forward slightly. His hands were pressed on the conference table, his eyes swept over everyone's faces in turn, and he said expressionlessly, "As for ...... Those who don't come to the party today will be kicked out of the winter and summer party forever! ”
Crash!
As soon as Qin Dongxue's words came out, it was like a pebble thrown into the originally calm lake, causing ripples, and many people's faces showed a little dissatisfaction - Pei Donglai, as the president, can not come to the meeting, and others will be kicked out of the winter and summer meeting if they don't come, which is too unfair!
Sense the dissatisfaction on the faces of those people. Qin Dongxue didn't explain anything, but went straight to the point: "I think everyone here has heard about some things, and you all want to know how those things will affect Dongxia and Xia." ”
As soon as Qin Dongxue said this, the conference room suddenly fell silent, and everyone turned their eyes to Qin Dongxue. Waiting for Qin Dongxue's words.
"I don't want to hide it from everyone, those two things did have an impact on the Winter and Summer Meeting, and the impact was not small."
Qin Dongxue spoke again, and instead of saying something to boost morale, she directly chose a showdown, "At this time." I hope all of us here can work together to get through this together! ”
Speaking of this, Qin Dongxue deliberately paused, and clearly saw that many people's faces showed a little displeasure.
"President Qin, it's not a problem for all of us to tide over the difficulties together, but you should at least tell us what we should do next, right?" Then, a voice sounded in the quiet conference room, and the owner of the voice was a close friend of Dong Wenbin.
"That's right, only with clear goals and plans can we work together to get through this together."
As soon as Dong Wenbin's words fell, some people opened their mouths to echo, although the others did not speak, but they also had a submissive expression, among which there were no Xiao Mad and those sworn friends, and Xiao Mad was smoking a cigarette with a complicated face, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
"In the face of the current predicament, the chairman is using all aspects of strength to deal with it, because there are some insider stories involved, and the specific plans and measures are not convenient to disclose for the time being. But...... I can assure you that this crisis can be eliminated! Qin Dongxue opened her mouth to give an explanation.
"President Qin, everything is reasonable, if you don't tell us the specific plan, how do we know that the president can solve the current predicament?" Dong Wenbin's sworn friend who spoke before questioned it again.
"If you doubt me, think that it is impossible for the president to solve this crisis, and want to withdraw from the winter and summer meeting, I will not stop it!" Qin Dongxue spoke again, her voice suddenly raised, and she suppressed the questioning voice.
Suddenly, the conference room fell silent again, and everyone looked at each other.
"Smack!"
Suddenly, Xiao, who had been smoking silently, violently snuffed out the cigarette butt, and knocked over the ashtray because of too much force.
"Huh!"
The sudden sound made everyone, including Qin Dongxue, turn their eyes to Xiao Mad, and Qin Dongxue's brows furrowed tightly.
"Dongxue, help me tell Donglai, just say that I'm sorry for him and don't deserve to be his brother." Facing everyone's gaze, Xiao Qi slowly stood up from his seat, looked at Qin Dongxue with a look of embarrassment and pain, and said softly: "I quit the Winter and Summer Meeting." ”
"Uh......"
Stunned to hear Xiao Mad's words, most of the people were stunned, as if they didn't expect that Xiao Mad would be the first person to take the initiative to withdraw from the Winter and Summer Meeting.
"I'll bring it for him."
While everyone was stunned, Qin Dongxue spoke again, her beautiful face was as cold as ice, her hands were clenched tightly together, her bones were faintly white, and even her delicate body trembled slightly.
Qin Dongxue's words sounded in their ears, and looking at Qin Dongxue's reaction, everyone understood that Xiao Mad withdrawing from the Winter and Summer Club was tantamount to giving the Winter and Summer Club and Qin Dongxue a blow to the head.
Without answering, Xiao Madness pulled out his chair and strode away.
"Whew! Swish! Swish! ”
Seeing Xiao Mad leaving, Xiao Mad and his friends got up one after another and left with Xiao Mad - they were because Xiao Mad joined the Winter and Summer Meeting, and Xiao Mad was gone, how could they continue to stay in the Winter and Summer Meeting?
"Who else is leaving?"
After watching Xiao Mad and the others leave, Qin Dongxue retracted her gaze and spoke expressionlessly.
After Qin Dongxue's words fell, Dong Wenbin's group of sworn friends set their eyes on Dong Wenbin, waiting for Dong Wenbin to make a statement.
"Qin Dongxue, although I don't know what Pei Donglai is going to do, I think Pei Donglai, who lost the Xiao family, can't survive the Ye family's attack and revenge." Dong Wenbin pondered for a moment and set his eyes on Qin Dongxue, "I choose to quit." ”
"Huh!"
When the words fell, Dong Wenbin didn't wait for Qin Dongxue to reply, he got up and left, and his friends also got up and left with him.
"I'm quitting."
"I'm quitting too."
……
Seeing Dong Wenbin and the others leaving, several people from Qin Dongxue's camp got up in succession and showed their attitudes, obviously...... They agreed with Dong Wenbin's words.
After a while, the conference room was quiet again, and although the remaining two dozen or so people did not get up to leave, they ...... The hesitation and worry on their faces were palpable.
This scene is in stark contrast to the grand occasion of the first day of the winter and summer party.
On that day, the first gathering of the Winter and Summer Meeting, Pei Donglai came to the scene in person, Ye Zhengrong, who had lost his career, came with Huang Ying, put down his cruel words, was humiliated by Xiao Mad, stabilized people's hearts, and established Pei Donglai's status in the Winter and Summer Meeting.
On that day, the members of the Winter and Summer Meeting were full of longing and looking forward to being able to show their strength through the platform of the Winter and Summer Meeting.
And now, Xiao Mad and Dong Wenbin, who once supported Pei Donglai, have withdrawn one after another, and Ye Zhengrong's cruel words are about to become a reality.
This was like a resounding slap in the face of Dongxiahui and Pei Donglai.
An hour later.
The news of Xiao Mad and Dong Wenbin and others withdrawing from the Winter and Summer Meeting came out, and they became the talk of the upper class, and almost everyone believed that the Winter and Summer Meeting would disappear in the long river of history, and Pei Donglai would lose the backer of the Xiao family and would completely fall in the near future.
In the evening, a piece of news came out, which strengthened their inference - on the day the old lady of the Xiao family died, the Xiao family did not let Pei Donglai step into the main building of Xishan No. 1 Villa, but only bowed and saluted at the door.
On this day, the winter and summer meetings of the famous Jinghua were torn apart.
On this day, Pei Donglai lost the backer of the Xiao family and fell into a desperate situation.
On this day, it is April Fool's Day.
The show begins...... (To be continued)
