Chapter 213: Ning Fei'er appears
While Xia Fan and Yang Wanli were communicating, Shen Tianci was sitting in an inconspicuous position in the hall with an unhappy face, looking at the red card performances on the stage with a bored expression.
Beside him, Liu Yinglong and Lin Rong sat on the left and right.
Compared with Shen Tianci's unhappiness, Liu Yinglong watched his eyebrows fluttering, and he was obviously very satisfied with the performance on stage.
Of course, because Shen Tianci's face was not very good-looking, Liu Yinglong did not dare to show his emotions too obviously.
As for the two old men who had been following Shen Tianci, they sat on the seats behind Shen Tianci.
Among the more than 200 people in the room, more than half of them are elderly, so the two old men sitting in it are not eye-catching.
Except for Liu Yinglong and Lin Rong, no one else in the Liu family came to Wanhualou to watch Ning Fei'er's performance.
Because tomorrow will be the day when the Liu family will start a full-scale counterattack against the Xia family, there is a lot of preparation work to deal with in advance, and every member of the Liu family is in a high degree of tension and excitement, and there is really no time to spare.
Of course, these days, in order to be able to buy all the relevant medicinal materials into their own hands, the Liu family has used almost every tael of silver that the family can use, so the entrance fee of a thousand taels of silver per person is really too high for the Liu family now.
With the addition of Shen Tianci and the two old men, the cost of admission alone cost five thousand taels, which is already beyond the limit that the Liu family currently has flowing silver.
So this admission fee is actually the private silver that Liu Badao took out of his pocket.
If this matter is said to be true, no one will believe that the Liu family of Nuoda will not even be able to take out a few thousand taels of silver.
However, this is the truth.
If it had been placed a month ago, the Liu family would never have dared to make such a desperate bet, but the absolute suppression of the Xia family in the previous ten days gave the Liu family great confidence, and also made the Liu family understand that as long as they could be stronger than the Xia family in terms of medicinal efficacy, then they would not have anything to worry about!
It is precisely because of this psychology that Liu Badao will make such a desperate decision, and even directly press the entire family, leaving no room for himself and the family.
Because he's going to give it a fight!
He had to buy out all the medicinal materials needed to refine those two medicines in Qingyang City in order to truly suppress the Xia family!
It will take a certain amount of time for the new medicinal materials to arrive in Qingyang City again, and this time difference will determine the direction of the dispute between the Xia family and the Liu family!
At least in Liu's opinion, that's the case.
And Liu Badao is very confident, although this approach seems to be extremely risky, but the possibility of the Liu family failing is almost none.
Therefore, even in the last few days of acquisition, the price of medicinal materials has been raised to the level of madness by those 'unscrupulous businessmen' in the eyes of Liu Badao, if it is purchased at that price, it is impossible to make a profit from the finished drug, not to mention the capital, but Liu Badao still does not hesitate to make hysterical purchases.
The reason is that in the last few days, the Xia family seems to have reacted and joined in the acquisition of medicinal materials.
Otherwise, it is impossible for the price of medicinal materials to soar to such a jaw-dropping level.
For this reason, Liu Badao not only hollowed out the family's flowing silver, but even mortgaged several key family properties, just to be able to obtain a large amount of cash in a short period of time and completely squeeze the Xia family's market to death.
It can be said that in order to completely defeat the Xia family in the medicine business, Liu Badao has pressed everything, and once the ultimate goal is not achieved, it will be a devastating blow to the Liu family!
"A bunch of vulgar fans...... This is the so-called red card girl in your Qingyang City? Nothing but looks! Such girls are all over the streets of the county government! And it's a waste of time to sit in such an ordinary position and watch! ”
After watching the performances of several red-card girls in a row, Shen Tianci finally couldn't help but burst out of his dissatisfaction.
Originally, according to his thoughts, he was willing to come to Wanhualou with such an identity, which was already giving Wanhualou a big face, no matter what, Wanhualou should also leave the best position to him.
Even if Yang Wanli appeared later, in order to show his respect for Yang Wanli, the best position could be changed to Yang Wanli, but he should also sit in the second best position!
But now, not to mention the best positions, even the next best positions did not fall to him, the position they were sitting in was quite remote in the hall, and the angle of watching the performance was very poor, and the people sitting around were also relatively poor in power and wealth among all the people in the whole hall.
This made Shen Tianci feel that he had been greatly despised.
"Shen Gongzi is angry, I can't reveal your identity, and it is also the opinion of the two behind you, if we really inform Wanhualou of your identity, of course you will be arranged to be next to the city lord, but in that case, you will attract everyone's attention, and at that time, there may be some risks."
Lin Rong hurriedly reassured.
"Hmph, even if you can't reveal your identity for the sake of safety, aren't your Liu family qualified to sit in front? Why was that Xia Fan of the Xia family able to sit next to Yang Wanli? Is the gap between your Liu family and their Xia family so big in the hearts of others! ”
Shen Tianci stretched out his finger and pointed to Xia Fan, who was sitting at the front, and the dissatisfaction on his face became even stronger.
"This ...... Shen Gongzi, if it is the righteous father, Wanhualou will naturally arrange us a position similar to that of Xia Fan, but if the righteous father does not come, we really don't have such a big face. As for why Xia Fan sat down, I think it is likely to be related to everyone Ning. A few months ago, this Xia Fan had the honor of being favored by the Ning family, becoming the first man in the entire Qingyang City to be invited to his boudoir by the Ning family, and also spent one night. So since today is a performance where everyone is retiring, it would be reasonable if Xia Fan was specially invited to watch. ”
Lin Rong explained to Shen Tianci according to her own guesses.
This speculation is more or less exactly true.
"Hmph, I think this so-called Ning family must not be worthy of the name. Otherwise, how could he look down on that Xia Fan? That is, in a small place like your Qingyang City, most people have not seen much of the market, so they will hold her to the sky, if they all go to the county government, they will understand how much they are sitting in the well and watching the sky. ”
Shen Tianci snorted, and after saying with a sense of superiority, his attention drifted to Ye Yi, who was sitting next to Xia Fan.
Although he could only see Ye Yi's back from his angle, even so, Shen Tianci still felt very itchy.
"Hmph, Xia Fan's fiancée's status in the Xia family doesn't seem to be high, otherwise on such an occasion, how could Xia Fan bring her out together? It seems that she should be able to succumb only by relying on silver, and it is not useless to be able to see her come tonight, and after a while, when that Ning everyone finishes performing, I will go directly to Xia Fan and say that he will lend his fiancée to me to play for a few days, and I think that as long as Xia Fan is still interested, he will give me this face. ”
While staring at Ye Yi's back, Shen Tianci said to himself.
And in his mind, he has already begun to imagine some disgusting images.
Just when Shen Tianci was immersed in his fantasies and was secretly refreshing, the performances of the twelve red-card girls on the stage had all come to an end.
Immediately afterwards, when the last red-card girl asked for a blessing and left the stage, Ning Feier walked onto the stage with an elegant face!
Unlike other red-card girls, Ning Fei'er was not accompanied by any other girl on stage, only two Wanhualou maids lifted the piano and piano stand she was going to play for Ning Fei'er.
The hall, which was originally very lively, instantly quieted down after Ning Fei'er appeared in everyone's sight!
This abrupt change also interrupted Shen Tianci's fantasy, and then Shen Tianci subconsciously looked in the direction of the stage.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Tianci, who had belittled Ning Fei'er with disdain just now, suddenly stood on the spot!
