Chapter 149, Stealing Beams and Changing Pillars (2)
At around seven o'clock in the afternoon, when the sky began to turn dark, the 'arrest' team composed of the direct high-level members of the major families officially entered the territory of T City.
After getting the news, Di Cheng took Jin Xueliang, Nangong Shang, or Yang Jing and a large number of high-level officials from the eight ministries to leave Lingshi County and came to the Blue Rose Hotel under Tiancheng Group to set up a dinner party, waiting for the original guests.
As a well-known five-star hotel in the province, "Blue Rose" has won an excellent reputation for its simple and elegant retro atmosphere and all-encompassing delicacies. Of course, the consumption here is naturally far more than that of ordinary restaurants, and it is by no means something that ordinary people can consume.
Although Di Cheng doesn't have a good impression of those big families, he can't lower the level of etiquette, at least he can't lose the face of Tianmen. Therefore, the place for this banquet was chosen in the "Valley Listening Spring" on the top floor of Blue Rose.
Clear spring dingdong, piano sound curling, rockery forest, green bamboo lingering, look at it, this area of 400 square meters of the hall is like set up in the deep mountain spring pool, the scenery is beautiful, elegant and simple, and then there is a wonderful piano sound as a companion, it makes people feel refreshed and happy, linger and intoxicated.
Sitting on the gravel bench, Di Cheng seemed to be in a good mood, chatting with many brothers, drinking tea and wine, and enjoying himself.
Jin Yixuan, Annie, Guan Ying and other women got together and talked about their topics, and their crisp and joyful laughter and shy and bright faces added a lot to this dinner.
The atmosphere was cheerful, with laughter and laughter, but Nangong Shang and Jin Xueliang felt the strangeness of the atmosphere. According to their expectations, the current Di Cheng should be sad and angry, how can they talk and laugh and drink with a relaxed face.
Looking around, the waiters who were dressed in ancient costumes had already left, and I don't know when they were replaced by burly and majestic men, scattered around the rockery, pools and bamboo pavilions, roughly estimated, enough for the number of fifty people.
What is this for?!!
Jin Xueliang and Nangong Shang exchanged suspicious looks, and were about to open their mouths to warn Di Cheng, when Sha Lang, who was greeting outside, pushed open the closed bamboo door, made a simple gesture of invitation, and said with a smile: "Everyone, please, Brother Cheng has been waiting for you for a long time." β
Outside the door, the guests gathered, first looked at the environment and conditions inside, more than a dozen middle-aged men with good temperament walked in turn, some were majestic and indifferent, some were shrewd and cunning, some were wise and clear, some were weak and slender, all kinds of postures, direct figures of all major families or other high-level people! Among them, there are many provincial officials, military district governors, managers or directors of large listed groups.
They are all well-known elders and celebrities who have a high reputation in a certain field. To be able to have today's achievements, in addition to relying on the advantage of background, who can say that they do not have some means and abilities?
The appearance of this group of people invisibly brought an obvious sense of oppression to the venue, and the deep or bright gaze swept over everyone, making people's breath involuntarily stagnate. They have no flesh and no killing intent, but the unique majesty of the superior formed by being in a high position for a long time cannot be underestimated by others.
"Uncle Xiong, long time no see." Di Cheng left his seat and hurriedly greeted one of the middle-aged men who looked like Wenxiu. That is, one of the contemporary high-level figures of the Xiong family, the younger brother of Xiong Weiye and the eldest son of Xiong Wuji, Xiong Weiyi, is currently the director of the HB Provincial Local Taxation Bureau!
Xiong Weiyi smiled and nodded, did not shy away from the strange eyes of outsiders, and patted Di Cheng's shoulder affectionately: "Thirteenth? Oh, well done! Xiong Cai, that kid didn't follow the wrong person! Do it well, don't worry about it, if you need to, just say it, our old bear family has never been afraid of anyone! β
A simple joke made many people change color slightly, who is Xiong Weiyi talking about? What does that last sentence mean?
"Uncle Xiong is polite, I'm relying on Xiong Cai, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't be as easy as I am now." Di Cheng's smile deepened, worthy of the Xiong family, speaking and doing things in a style - refreshing! Domineering!
Nangong Shang walked up and said with a smile: "Don't be complimentary, Di Cheng, you go to receive the others, the old bear is handed over to me, I haven't seen you for several years, and today is going to be lively." β
"Don't blame me, I've asked you several times, and you have said to wait, wait, wait for more than three or four years."
"It's okay to go to tea, I'm afraid you'll let me pay taxes."
"Haha! You miser. β
The relationship between the two is already good, and when they meet after many years, they will naturally have some enthusiasm, laughing with each other and walking inside.
After Di Cheng signaled Yang Jing and them to follow and take care of them, under the guidance of Jin Xueliang, he began to greet these "big shots" one by one, and led them to the seats in the infield in turn.
As the core figures of each family, they have the right to know certain confidential matters, and naturally understand that Di Cheng's status in the world today, and the strong sense of oppression and fierce aura that has escaped invisibly have forced everyone to restrain their arrogance, even if they don't have a good feeling, they also show a little smile to deal with it at this moment.
"You are Di Cheng? Yes, a table of talents. At the end of the introduction, a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed eyes looked Di Cheng up and down with a slightly ambiguous gaze.
"This is ......," Di Cheng asked, admitting that this man was very temperamental, very delicate, and should have been a beautiful man when he was young. But the other party's eyes made him feel furious for no reason.
Without waiting for Jin Xueliang to speak, the man smiled and said, "Introduce yourself, my name is Yang Yi and I am from the Yang family." β
"Uncle Yang doesn't mind, right?" Di Cheng smiled and saluted at the same time, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, the Yang family? Eight families? Except for the Xiong family and the Mu family, the others seemed to be a little cold to themselves, and the person in front of them ...... Why so passionate?
"Don't mind, come and sit with me another day, welcome." Yang Yi shook hands with Di Cheng cordially, and smiled in front of everyone to invite him.
"Definitely, I will visit another day." Di Cheng's heart is even more strange, it is of great significance to be able to express kindness on this occasion! What's more, the other party is still from the Yang family, which is known for its strong financial resources! Among the eight major families, they are known as the two major business empires along with the Wang family!
"Say hello before you go, I'll get my girl ready."
Girl?? Di Cheng suddenly thought of something and said, "Your daughter's name is ......."
"The little girl's name is Yang Yu, she is Jin Yixuan's classmate, listen to her, you two are very familiar?"
The corners of Di Cheng's eyes twitched slightly, and he smiled on the surface and said, "I've met a few times, but I didn't expect you to be Miss Yang's father, it's rude." β
"Don't be so polite, I'm a casual person."
"Yang Yi, I'm waiting for you!" Jin Xueliang coughed a few times and interrupted the two.
"Uncle Yang, please." Di Cheng raised his hand to signal.
"If we have a chance, let's talk about business today." Yang Yi pushed the gold-rimmed glasses, glanced at Jin Xueliang meaningfully, and walked to the infield under the leadership of Zhang Xuan.
When Yang Yi walked away, Jin Xueliang lowered his voice and reminded Di Cheng: "The Yang family has been in business for generations, and they have a treacherous temperament in their bones. Especially this Yang Yi, his reputation is not very good. It's not that I mean to provoke, it's a fact! β
At this time, fourteen high-ranking representatives from various families were invited to the seats in the infield, and a considerable number of the bodyguards who followed them were also allowed to enter the hall, and the number was about fifty. Coupled with those subordinates of the Heavenly Gate, the hall that was originally empty was already crowded.
"Mr. Di, before the dinner begins, are we going to finish the business first?" As soon as the scene calmed down, Wang Weitao, the representative of the Wang family, was the first to speak.
Fang Jian, the representative of the Fang family, also said: "Mr. Di, I bother to bring out the Jin Xuan you rescued first, we need to verify it." If you are on official business, you may be offended, please forgive me. β
Di Cheng smiled silently and put down the wine glass he was about to raise: "Minister Fang, there is no need to use clichΓ©s, there is no need to show your eloquence and shrewdness in front of so many people. Jin Xuan is in my hands, but people ...... I didn't save it! β
After being counted down like this, Fang Jian's face was slightly gloomy: "You didn't save it, could it be that he came back by himself?" β
"You're really right, this is his home, and after suffering and suffering, of course he will come back here. Just like you, if I slap you twice and cut you two or two pieces of flesh, you feel pain, where will you go? Definitely going home to your mom. Is that right? β
"You! Di Cheng, speak with respect! Pay attention to the respect of the young and the old! β
"It's just an example, what is Minister Fang excited about?"
"Ahem!" Xiong Weiyi coughed heavily a few times and said, "Minister Fang, I didn't understand what you said just now, it is reasonable to pay attention to the elders and young." Pay attention to the ...... What do you mean? Who? Who is inferior? β
Everyone present frowned slightly, especially the representatives of various families, they expected that this "arrest" of Jin Xuan would not go well, but they didn't expect to smell the smell of gunpowder just after sitting down. Secretly exchanged glances, and Mu Xijie, the representative of the Mu family, relieved Fang Jian: "Weiyi, the old party didn't mean that, he didn't deliberately target anyone, to eliminate the anger." Xiao Di, what do you mean by us coming, do you understand? Isn't it to get down to business first? If you're not happy, when we're drinking, you can just pour a few more glasses of the old recipe. β
Di Cheng glanced at Fang Jian, didn't think about it anymore, and ordered: "Shalang, go, call Jin Xuan out." β
ps: Chrysanthemum is in a hurry!! Brothers, flowers are rising!! In addition, it will break out tomorrow!!
