Early the next morning, Liu Bi got up, and today he got up half an hour earlier than before, but there were still a large number of people who got up earlier than him, or even didn't sleep at all.

It's not that I don't want to sleep, it's that I can't sleep. Liu Bi is not dead, they can't sleep and eat.

And these people who got up early, or didn't sleep at all, naturally didn't stay at home, they had already gathered outside the Ji family's manor. Although the manor has not yet opened its doors to entertain guests, they don't mind, just waiting outside for a minute and a second.

As the most powerful and richest family in the entire bay, although the Ji family has always been low-key and abnormal, no one can say that the place where they live is not luxurious.

Luxury does not mean luxury, but it does mean that it is big enough.

The Ji family's private manor, covering an area of several hundred acres, is adjacent to the seaside, no matter where you stand, it is difficult to see the edge at a glance.

It takes at least ten minutes for people to enter from the gate to the main building area, even if it is by car, and the Ji family never allows anyone to drive into the manor.

The buildings in the manor, on the whole, are quite retro, with small gardens, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, everything, and even everywhere you can see the daughters of the Ji family who love ancient costumes walking around the lakeside bridge, elegant as the birth of a fairy.

Of course, the Ji family manor is not all retro buildings, European-style villas, Russian-style bell towers also have everything, the most modern atmosphere, is the two big characters on the top of the gate of the Ji family manor: Yongchang.

This manor of the Ji family is called Yongchang Manor. As the name suggests, it will be prosperous forever, and the Ji family has also done this, at least from the beginning of the establishment of the family to the present.

Because of this, the plaque of Yongchang Manor is the most modern, which has a meaning: never feudal backwardness, keep up with the pace of the times, and ensure the permanent prosperity of the family.

"Squeak!"

At six o'clock in the morning, under the huge "Yongchang" plaque more than ten meters above the ground, the gate of Yongchang Manor, which is more than ten meters high and at least seven or eight meters wide, was slowly opened under the joint efforts of sixteen people.

An old man with white hair and a Mao suit, who looked quite old, but looked radiant, stepped out and shouted loudly at the people waiting outside Yongchang Manor.

"Visitors inside, please! Please leave your car outside. ”

After saying that, the old man stood there, ready to greet the guest like a javelin.

It seems that this season's family is not only strong, rich in heritage, but also very good in terms of etiquette, although the family is big, but there is no shelf at all to act as a person.

Because of this, the people who came were even more respectful to the Ji family, and even if the housekeeper of the Ji family didn't say anything, they would consciously act in accordance with the rules of the Ji family.

Park the car one by one, and then these men, women, and children, who were either rude or well-dressed and polite, all lined up obediently, passed by the Ji family's housekeeper in turn, congratulated, gave gifts, and then walked inside under the reception of a special person.

The crowd was not worried at all that there would be no one to entertain them or that there would be no place to rest. Because there are definitely enough people in the Ji family, and the place of the Ji family is definitely big enough.

It seems to be like this anywhere in the world, the little people generally arrive early, and the big people are usually late until the end as the finale.

In fact, Shentong and Zhuang Zhijing did not come late, but only a little later than those who came before.

Shentong and Zhuang Zhijing didn't come alone, of course, there weren't many people with them, only two, one for each person.

Both of them are dressed in low-key and luxurious clothes, and they walk with a tiger's step, and their eyes are full of majesty and fierceness. The kind of domineering aura that faintly emanated from his body made ordinary people not even dare to look at it quietly, let alone get closer.

These two people are, of course, the number one master of the Shen family and the number one master of the Eagle Gate.

"Zhuang Zhijing, on behalf of the Eagle Gate, came to congratulate Old Man Ji."

When he arrived here, Zhuang Zhijing's etiquette also became quite in place, smiled and presented the congratulatory gift lightly.

"President Zhuang is polite, President Zhuang personally came to congratulate him today, I think the old man will be very happy." The housekeeper of the Ji family also smiled politely, and said complimentally, the smile when treating Zhuang Zhijing, and what Zhuang Zhijing said, are naturally very different from others.

Not only is there a difference in the treatment of speaking, but the reception is also quite exquisite.

Most of the others were led by the reception staff and walked to the interior of Yongchang Manor in batches.

However, people with high status like Zhuang Zhijing and Shentong have special people who drive special trams inside the manor to pick them up.

For this, those who do not have enough status and do not have invitations have nothing to say. After all, the number of trams is limited, and if you don't have your identity, you can't get an invitation, and you can't force it.

From six o'clock in the morning to ten o'clock at noon, there was an endless stream of people who came to congratulate the Ji family's Yongchang Manor, which was naturally simple-minded and completely for the purpose of congratulating, but more often to ask the Ji family to come forward to preside over the situation in the bay.

Yongchang Manor has a total of eight divisions, among which a large area is specially divided for hospitality, that is, the hospitality area.

While most of the other guests were arranged to rest in the villas and courtyards in the hospitality area, Shentong, Zhuang Zhijing, and other bigwigs on the front line of the bay had already come to the core of the hospitality area in Yongchang Manor, in the No. 1 courtyard.

Those who can enter the gate of the No. 1 courtyard are all the top powerful people in the bay. Business, politics, society, you name it. And even among these people, the status of Shentong and Zhuang Zhijing is quite high, of course, there are also people with higher status than them, and there are not many such people, only four or five.

These four or five people are naturally the number one person in power in the political circles of the Gulf, and when they see these figures, Rao is Zhuang Zhijing and Shen Tong, and they have to be treated carefully.

The crowd talked politely for more than ten minutes, and then, an old man with crane hair and a childish face and a bright red robe came to the No. 1 courtyard surrounded by two entourage.

"Old man, you're here."

"Old man Ji, your body is getting tougher and tougher."

"Old Man Ji is really old and strong, not old at all, he is simply getting younger and younger, haha."

……

As soon as they saw this person, the bigwigs from various areas of the bay in the No. 1 courtyard immediately greeted each other.

"Hahahaha, polite, everyone is so polite, with your arrival today, my Yongchang Manor is really full of brilliance. I'm really sorry to keep you waiting, come, please sit, sit. ”

calmed the crowd for a while, and when everyone sat down, someone had already sent tea and snacks, and Old Man Ji also sat down and talked and laughed with everyone.

At this time, it is not yet time to get down to business, because although everyone has their own goals, they are all inconspicuous at the moment, and they don't say much about what they shouldn't say.

At the same time, the Huang Tea House.

There were several people standing on the first floor of the Huang Teahouse, all of whom were the backbone of Liu Bi's subordinates without exception, Jiang Rulong, Wei Dong, Ximen Daguanren, Decepticons, Huang Zhongze, Yan Jinsong, and even Lu Quan, all gathered here.

And in front of them, there was a person, an old man in a formal suit: Wang Kanglei.

For Wang Kanglei, what he did today and his choice was actually a big gamble.

He chose to go to the Yongchang Manor of the Ji family with Liu Bi, instead of going with Liang Feicheng, the No. 2 person and others, which has already made his attitude clear and indicated the camp he chose.

If Liu Bi wins today, then he will naturally soar and reach the top from then on. But if Liu Bi loses today, for Wang Kanglei, what awaits him will be ruined and discredited, with nothing.

For all this, Wang Kanglei saw it clearly, because his mood was even more nervous than everyone present.

If Liu Bi is defeated by the Ji family, these people will be punished at most, and at most they will pay the price of their lives. But Wang Kanglei is different, becoming nothing is more uncomfortable for him than his life.

Under the anticipation of everyone, on the second floor of Huang's Teahouse, a person finally walked down the stairs slowly.

Liu Bi slowly walked in front of everyone, glanced at everyone present, and then nodded.

"Now that everyone has arrived, let's go."

As he spoke, Liu Bi nodded at Wang Kanglei and walked straight out of the crowd, and everyone behind him immediately followed his pace.
