Chapter 475, the taste of yin mou

Interpersonal relationships are the primary productive force, and Huaxia is a country that pays attention to connections, and if you want to do something, it is really difficult to do it without the help of friends with deep backgrounds. Although Hong Kong has been part of the British government for many years, this custom has not been completely eradicated.

Banquets are an important channel for the upper class to communicate, not only to relax and enjoy the art of eating, but also to enhance the personal relationship of friends or business partners and meet some new friends. Formal business interactions are not as unbreakable as a personal friendship with a piáo.

Of course, Sikong Tu invited Ye Qiu and Ximen to go east to his banquet, naturally not to meet their two new friends.

Ye Qiu took the invitation card that was still faintly fragrant and looked at it carefully. It was as if he wanted to find the intention of Sikong Diagram from this thin piece of paper.

Ordinary invitations will add words before the banquet, such as fashion banquets, whisky tastings, etc., but the invitations of Sikong Tu do not have such a clear name.

Ye Qiu felt strange in his heart, handed the invitation card in his hand to Ximen Xiangdong, and asked, "What kind of banquet?" Are we going to prepare? You can't fight a battle that you don't know, right? ”

Ximen Xiangdong took the invitation with his hand and said with a smile: "You know, for some reasons, the relationship between me and Sikong Tu is not very harmonious. Of course, that's not on the table. Although we are all in Hong Kong, we still have very few opportunities to meet in normal times. Moreover, he has only returned from studying in England in the past two years--- perhaps because he has been influenced by Western culture in England, or for family reasons, he has held many banquets since he returned, and unfortunately, I have not been invited once. ”

Ye Qiu chuckled in his heart, even if Ximen Xiangdong and Sikong Tu did not meet, because of the transfer of power between the old and new families, the two of them were bound to become lifelong opponents.

The glory of the Sikong family reached its peak during the British period, and began to fall because of the end of the British system. At this time, the Simon family is catching up and will inevitably compete for the interests of the Sikong family.

One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Except for one male and one female.

It's a pity. They are all men.

Ximen looked at Ye Qiu with a smile in his eyes to the east. It is not without the meaning of provocative in the middle. said with a smile: "This time I was able to receive an invitation from him." It makes me feel like I've stained your brilliance. ”

He's a smart guy. Knowing that this kind of face-to-face provocation would not disgust Ye Qiu. If you think you are clever and stir things up between the lines. That's the real taboo. He knows exactly how to deal with smart people.

Ye Qiu understood. Maybe Sikong Tu gave himself an invitation because of the winter night. What kind of idea did he have in mind?

Ye Qiu didn't have the contradictory thoughts of the two families in his heart. But if Sikong Tu pinches himself as a soft persimmon. Then you can't blame yourself.

Ximen Xiangdong pretended not to see Ye Qiushen, "He has a special feature when he holds a banquet, that is, he will not expose the theme of the party before." Give the invited guests a sense of mystery and reverie. It is said that the effect is very good, and many people are proud to have received an invitation from Situ. ”

"How is the strength of the current Sikong family compared to the Ximen family?" Ye Qiu squinted his eyes and asked.

"Don't underestimate the influence of the Sikong family. When the British ruled Hong Kong, the Sikong family developed extremely rapidly with their good friendship with the British. Even for decades, Zhan became the largest family in Hong Kong. Sikong Tu's uncle was the last governor of the British period, Christierfrancien, and with the care of the local emperor of Hong Kong at that time, the Sikong family naturally did everything smoothly and without scruples. ”

Ximen Xiangdong took the bottle of Kaifengdi red wine from the closet at the door of the room, unscrewed it with his own hands, poured a glass for Ye Qiu and himself respectively, and then walked to the sand opposite Ye Qiu and sat down, and then said: "After the end of the British unification, the scenery of the Sikong family also dimmed all of a sudden. It's just that because of the vigorous exhibition and the connections accumulated over the decades, other families don't dare to fight their ideas. Even now, without the patronage of the British, who knows how many MPs will be their guests? ”

After listening to Ximen's explanation to the east, Ye Qiu was puzzled in his heart. Could it be that Sikong Tu's invitation to the past is to see his energy? In that case, the banquet is quite interesting.

"In this way, I still have to go to this Hongmen banquet." Ye Qiu said with a smile. "I'm also starting to get interested in the theme of the banquet tonight."

Before it was time for dinner, Tang Guo, Lin Baoer, and Ximen Qianyu knew about Sikong Tu's invitation.

Tang Guo had just become that good thing with Ye Qiu, but he couldn't let go of his hands and feet in front of Ye Qiu. Although Ximen Qianyu is very well disguised on the surface, he still has a small summary in his heart, so Lin Bao'er is the most active.

"Ye Qiu, I can tell you, I must go to tonight's banquet." forest

Holding Ye Qiudi's arm, he said threateningly. If you don't agree, I'll bite and be thrown down by Ye Qiu this afternoon, which has already made Miss Lin Baoer very dissatisfied.

Ye Qiu nodded and said, "Okay, you can go." ”

"Hee-hee, agreed?" Lin Bao'er's chubby little face suddenly burst into laughter.

"yes. There you go. I have something going on at night and I may not be able to leave. ”

"You dead Ye Qiu, bastard Ye Qiu, I know you didn't have a good heart. If you don't go, why should I go? I just didn't go. Lin Bao'er shouted angrily.

"When people are invited, there must always be a representative to go over." Ye Qiu looked at Lin Bao'er and said in embarrassment: "If you don't want to go to the ground, then I'll take the time to go over and have a look." “

"Good. Let's go together. Lin Bao'er hugged Ye Qiudi's arm and said.

"I'm going too." Tang Guo said.

Ximen was embarrassed to ask Ye Qiu's opinion, but he glared at his brother Ximen Xiangdong a few times, and Ximen nodded to the east in agreement.

Ran Dongye looked at everyone and said, "Are you all going?" I thought you weren't going, Sikong Tu asked someone to send the invitation to my assistant, and the assistant called just now, and I asked her to refuse. If you all go, should I call my assistant again and ask her not to refuse? ”

Ye Qiu scolded secretly in his heart, this bastard is really uneasy and kind.

Ye Qiu is a generous man, so naturally he will not show the unhappiness in his heart on his face, and said: "Anyway, there is nothing to do at night, let's go and see the nightlife of Hong Kong together." ”

Sikong Tu listened to the butler's report that after Ran Dongye's assistant rejected his invitation to the banquet, he was slightly disappointed.

Ran Dongye doesn't spend too much time in Hong Kong, and there is even less time for him to pursue. And, what makes people angry is that he didn't even ask for the phone number of Ran Dongye.

Of course, if he wanted to find the number of Ran Winter Nights in a different way, it would not be too difficult. However, there is a big difference between what outsiders give and what you ask for in person.

With his pride, he would not have done such a thing.

"Cousin, I didn't say you, what's so good about that winter night? Why did you just plant it on her? What kind of woman can't be found on your terms? If you're interested in stardom, I'll take care of that. Which one you like, I'll help you get her. Just name it, and I'll get her to lie in your bed tonight. Even if you like the Kailin who is popular in the United States, I can tie her up for you. Sikong Tu's cousin An Tie said hatefully. He and Sikong Tu have studied in the UK for many years, although they are not outstanding in terms of talent, but they are loyal to Sikong Tu and have won Sikong Tu's trust. The tone of talking to Sikong Tu is also straightforward.

"That's your type of thing, right?" Sikong Tu said with a smile. Sikong Tu is the most popular man in Hong Kong, and every time he holds a banquet, those ladies and ladies flock to him. However, he did not reject his cousin's direct way of speaking.

Sometimes, he also wears up the greetings and hypocrisy of those people. Jing Zhi ate a lot of side dishes, and it was good to change the taste occasionally.

"You can also see that woman's attitude today, she has other men, why do we need a broken shoe?" An Tie said with a look of indignation, as if he had been insulted.

Sikong Tu's face suddenly turned cold, and his eyes, which had always given people gentle and wise, became cold and cruel. looked at An Tie and said, "This is the last time, okay?" In the future, I don't want to hear bad things about her again. ”

An Tie was very afraid that Sikong Tu would be angry, even if he didn't beat or scold, but when he looked at him like this, he also had a chill down his spine. It was as if my heart had stopped beating at that moment.

"I just don't want you to be insulted." An Tie explained sullenly.

"Insults? You don't understand. Sikong Tu shook his head slightly.

How could a man who was about to take charge of the fate of his family be swayed by an inconsequential person?

In that case, isn't he too unqualified as the heir of the Sikong family?

For what he wants to do, Ran Dongye is just a breakthrough. Although, I really like her.

Life is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat.

As a member of the Sikong family, how can you watch the Sikong family lose its former glory and fall down step by step, until it falls to a position that no one else can see anymore?

The honor of the family will have to be created by itself. And the man from Yanjing is the key to his brilliance.

Ye Qiu, I'll wait for you
