Chapter 683: Cocktail Party
According to the information that Lan Ya has, in this reelection, Yu Hongbo originally did not have the possibility of becoming the archon.
Whether it is the cronies around him, or he himself, he is planning to continue to serve as a member of the Supreme Ruling Council, and when the foundation of his connections is solid enough, he will try to impact the position of the Grand Consul in the next election!
However, the previous Lord Meng Wei was ambitious and extremely confident that he would continue to be re-elected as the archon, including many voices from the outside world who thought so! But I don't know what happened in the link, which caused him to fall short, and before the showdown between the forces of all parties, he was abandoned by his own backers and had to be out of the game!
Changing generals on the spot is a taboo for soldiers, but Yu Hongbo was able to overcome this difficulty, successfully ascend to the position and take over Meng Wei's position, which shows that the mysterious force behind him has not only made great efforts, but also the network power resources he has mastered have reached a level unimaginable to outsiders!
"The organization behind this guy is too secretive," Lan Ya said with some regret:
"Even with the intelligence of our Silent Star Temple, we haven't come up with much useful anything, and the only thing that is certain is that they are inseparable from that mysterious immortal organization! Although it is not a family, there should be a lot of cooperation between each other! β
Xiao Junling knew what he knew, so he immediately turned on his light brain and sent a message to Xue Qi of the "Sky Eye" organization, asking him to help provide and collect information in this regard!
However, Wei Zhenhua should also have relevant top-secret information about this matter, and when he visits him tomorrow, he must consult carefully!
That night, Xiao Junling and Zhou Yun returned to the Zhou family's mansion together. Attend a celebration banquet held by the top of the family.
As the chief hero of Zhou Wenchang's entry into the cabinet. He is also the son-in-law of the family. Needless to say, the courtesy that Xiao Junling received was completely the highest standard of treatment, and even Zhou Yun was stained with a lot of light!
ββ¦β¦ Child, this is the family's treasure 'Shuye Ice Jade Spring', which has been sealed in thousands of years of rock formations, and I believe the taste should not disappoint you! Zhou Jiyuan held his wine glass and said happily.
He did have reason to be happy that the Zhou family had been under his leadership all these years. It can only be said that there is more than enough defense and not enough progress, especially after Zhou Lingfeng was injured, the family's high-end combat power is in danger, which often makes him secretly worried!
But since Zhou Meng brought Xiao Junling back from the Northwest Star Domain, the fortunes of the Zhou family have become more and more prosperous!
Not only was Zhou Lingfeng able to recover from his injuries, but a large number of rare resources from the distant Biluo Galaxy not only brought rich economic benefits to the family, but also allowed the family's comprehensive strength to improve relatively quickly! In particular, the large-scale investment plan of the southern Xinghai has added a very heavy bargaining chip to Zhou Wenchang's entry into the cabinet!
Just this year, the benefits of trade with Xiao Junling. This has more than doubled the family's annual profits! It has firmly ranked among the top three first-line giants in the imperial capital!
It is easy to do things with money, and the Zhou family, whose pockets are getting richer and richer. and occupies such an important position in the upper echelons of the imperial power, as long as he continues to maintain a good relationship with Xiao Junling, the future development will naturally be smooth sailing!
Xiao Junling thanked him politely, picked up his wine glass and drank with many family high-ranking people without mentioning it.
Looking at the little couple sitting next to the head of the family, who were frequently toasted by many powerful elders of the family, and who were in the limelight, the children of the Zhou family who accompanied them on the periphery were both envious and jealous!
ββ¦β¦ This Sao Nizi is really lucky! β
The clan girls present secretly slandered in their hearts, and a few girls who thought that their talents and backgrounds were not inferior to Zhou Yun began to quietly think about whether it was possible to snatch the beautiful young man as dazzling as the stars, at least let themselves occupy a place in his heart!
As long as he can successfully attract his heart, then his future life can be said to be worry-free, his status in the family will also rise, and it will also benefit the clansmen behind him!
As for those male children, they are all thinking about how to get in touch with this Qingxing Great Lord who has mastered a lot of wealth and resources, as long as he can make his attitude slightly inclined to support himself, then even if he can't get the position of the head of the family in the future, it will not be a problem to be a powerful elder!
The next night, Xiao Junling held another drinking party in his mansion and invited all the wealthy families who were good friends with him to participate! The reason on the surface is to celebrate his promotion to the god of war and his birthday!
As for the news of breaking through the Annihilation Star Realm in the Biluo Galaxy, he didn't want to make it public for the time being, only Xichen Qinglan, Qin Yayu and other women who were close to him knew.
For this kind of formal invitation, the high-level leaders of all wealthy families attached great importance to it, and sent their descendants of the family to come to the door with carefully prepared gifts to congratulate them.
On the square in front of the main entrance, the luxury flying car convoy with different family emblems landed one after another, and Xuanyuan Xiaofeng, who was the first to arrive, took his younger brother's hand out of the car door, and exchanged a few words with him.
Then Wei Qinghao and Wei Feifei arrived together, and then Qin Weiyang, Zuo Shiji, Yun Ningxue, and An Yulong and others!
ββ¦β¦ Brother Xiao, this is my sister An Jinluan! An Yulong pulled a girl beside him over and introduced him enthusiastically.
The girl was dressed in a sea-blue one-shoulder evening dress, her skin was snowy, pink and jade, and she had a baby's face that everyone loved, but her body was plump and enchanting, and the majesty on her chest could break free from the delicate bandeau almost at any time!
Seeing that Xiao Junling's gaze fell on her, this beautiful girl with childish faces and huge breasts was slightly red, and she opened her mouth to say hello with a slightly cramped voice.
Xiao Junling said with a smile: "I have long heard that Brother An's sister is a famous beauty in the imperial capital, and today I can see that it is indeed worthy of its reputation!" And this talent in cultivation doesn't seem to be inferior to Brother An! β
An Yulong's expression moved, and he smiled heartily: "My sister has been famous for your deeds for a long time!" Since Brother Xiao, you also think she is good, how about guiding her when you have time? β
"Hehe, that's easy to say!" Xiao Junling agreed casually.
I didn't want Zhao Ziyan to immediately pull over a girl with handsome eyebrows and eyes, a mouth and a nose, and beautiful snowy skin, and introduced with a smile: "Brother Xiao, this is my sister Zhao Mengxuan, you have seen it before!" β
Xiao Junling was stunned for a moment, and found that she was the bridesmaid at Zhao Ziyan's wedding, and he had spoken to him at that time, but he was upset because of Xiao Yanran's affairs at that time, and he didn't care about her! I guess this girl still has some emotions about herself!
He smiled gently and stretched out his hand, Zhao Mengxuan glanced at him with a slightly complicated expression, stretched out his slender hand to shake him, and greeted him softly.
After welcoming them in one by one, Xiao Junling and Yu Xin'er were still waiting patiently outside.
In the past, when he had something, he always held a banquet in the Silent Star Temple to entertain the children of wealthy families who were friends with him, and he only used the name of Xichen Qinglan's students to the outside world.
Only this cocktail party is the first time he has held it alone in his own name, and its significance is naturally extraordinary! Who to invite and who not to invite have a lot of particularity.
As early as two days before the reception, many wealthy families and some powerful forces took the initiative to send people to visit, and their intentions were self-evident, hoping to get the opportunity to attend the reception.
After careful consideration, Xiao Junling selectively met the requirements of some of the envoys, and as for those representatives of the family power who had a bad relationship with him, naturally he didn't even think about it!
After a while, several beautiful-looking flying cars landed again, and Shangguan Xueyi, Xue Qi, Xiao Yulan, Yuehua and others walked out one by one!
These are friendly forces that have worked with him for a long time, so they were also invited by him.
"The concubine has seen His Royal Highness the Regent!" At the side of the speeding car with the badge of the Qingqiu Empire's diplomatic embassy, Erimilia and several attachΓ©s bowed to him respectfully.
Xiao Junling smiled: "Don't call me like that, it's okay, I'm not anymore!" β
"No!" The attitude of the female ambassador was unusually insistent: "As long as Her Majesty does not announce the abolition of your title one day next day, you will still be the regent of the empire!" β
He shook his head secretly, not arguing about this issue, but asked, "Is Her Majesty the Empress okay?" β
"Your Majesty is in good health, it's just ...... I miss you very much, Your Highness! Eremelia said softly, "Your Majesty she hopes that when the eldest daughter of the Emperor is born in the future, you will be able to go back to the empire to see her!" May I? β
Xiao Junling couldn't help but tremble in his heart, nodded and said, "It's no problem, I will definitely go!" β
Then Liu Jinyun and a group of followers who were newly attached to him arrived one after another, then Yang Yingxuan and Xue Cangyun, two military bigwigs, Yun Haiqing arrived, and later Lin Yixiong, Gao Jizhong, Fu Chanxin and other colleagues who worked together, and even the retired former archon Tang Xudong came!
At the end, the spaceship with the nebula emblem of the Temple of Silent Stars landed one after another, and the well-dressed and bright Xichen Qinglan and the noble and graceful Qin Yayu came out hand in hand, like a pair of dazzling moons, dazzling his eyes in an instant!
"Two teachers, you're finally here!" He hurried up to meet him and said attentively.
Qin Yayu smiled reservedly: "I'm afraid tonight's drinking party will be a little uncalm, so let's come over to calm the market for you and see what kind of guys will be there at that time!" β
Xiao Junling was a little unimpressed, now he is no longer a soft persimmon, anyone can come over and pinch it! Even if the head of the Li family is in person, it is impossible to do anything to him!
However, the two teachers were kind after all, and he gladly accepted it.
The spacious ballroom was already full of people, and there were nearly a hundred guests in attendance, not counting their attachΓ©s.
The reception itself is not important, what many guests are concerned about is to get closer to the host and the content of many interest cooperation.
Therefore, after a simple opening speech, Xiao Junling quietly temporarily withdrew and talked with everyone separately!
It's just that the trouble that should be there is always unavoidable! Soon, a few uninvited guests made the atmosphere in the hall subtly tense. (To be continued......)
