At six o'clock, in the banquet hall on the second floor of the hotel, after Luo Yi gave a brief welcome speech, the dinner started on time.

More than a dozen large round tables were full, and the faces of the guests were filled with polite but professional smiles.

Momo and red clothes, dressed as waiters, led two people respectively, holding plates and shuttling between the wine tables.

Xiao Ling and Luo Ziyan are at the same table, sitting on Luo Yi's left, and Kong Zhiming is at Xiao Ling's bottom. The other people at the same table are also Luo Yi's close friends. And, of course, Luo Jian.

From the moment Xiao Ling entered the hotel, he had become the focus of everyone, so the banquet naturally became a topic.

And Luo Yi did not evade it at all, not only solemnly introduced Xiao Ling to everyone, but also made a "film and television adaptation" from the last trip to Yunnan, adding oil and vinegar to praise him. Between the words, there was a greater sense of treating Xiao Ling as a quasi-son-in-law, which made Luo Ziyan blush with shame throughout the whole process, and she didn't even dare to raise her head.

However, Luo Yi did not mention Xiao Ling's life experience and background.

Everyone present was an old fritter in the business field, and naturally they could hear Luo Yi's words, and in addition to congratulations, they all gave a thumbs up, and the words of praise were also overflowing - except for Luo Jian.

"Xiao Xiao, what kind of business does your father do?" Luo Jian took a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, without even lifting his eyelids.

When chatting with people, especially when meeting for the first time, stopping the cup and discarding the spoon is the minimum etiquette. Not only did Luo Jian do this, but he didn't even mean to take a look! The contemptuous demeanor and questioning tone were extremely rude!

Although Xiao Ling has never seen any big scenes, he still has the most basic ability to observe words and colors, how can he not see Luo Jian's hostility. However, considering that today is Luo Ziyan's birthday, and because of the presence of Luo Yi and his wife, he doesn't plan to care.

"Oh, my parents are both from the mountains, and they have long since passed away." Xiao Ling smiled indifferently and did not hide it at all.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked." Luo Jian apologized, but there was no apology on his face, and he was even full of smiles. "So are you starting your own business?"

"Of course! Mr. Xiao has been starting his business since the first year of college, and has owned five companies and a five-star hotel in the city so far! Kong Zhiming took the words casually.

"It's so capable at a young age, it's not bad!"

Several other people at the same table were surprised and spoke out one after another.

"It's really terrifying!"

"Haha, it seems that our Luo Dong will soon have a successor!"

"Awesome, really awesome!" Although Luo Jian punched the steel plate, he still didn't give up, turned his head and asked Luo Ziyan again: "Ziyan, why haven't I heard you say it before?" Is it all true? ”

"He never mentioned it to me." Luo Ziyan was very unhappy, and mocked: "People are not like my second sister, when they meet people, they say that the Luo Group is hers!" ”

"Haha, it seems that I am really old, and I will be the world of young people in the future!" Luo Yi said in a haha round: "Come on, come on, today's little girl's birthday, everyone have a drink first!" ”

After being stunned in front of Xiao Ling, and finally choked on his niece, Luo Jian was extremely depressed, but he didn't have a good seizure, so he had to laugh a few times and cover up the past.

After three rounds of drinking, Luo Yi solemnly took out a very neatly folded piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Xiao Ling.

"Xiao Xiao, although we haven't had much contact, judging from our trip to Yunnan, your detective name is well deserved! So, Uncle has a reluctant request! ”

"Uncle, you're polite, please speak."

"As you know, some distressing things have happened to the Roche Group during this time, although the police are also working hard to solve them, but so far there is still no progress, which has caused panic in the whole company and the performance has also declined rapidly. If it goes on like this, sooner or later the company will have big problems! ”

"Therefore, I would like to ask you to help me investigate this series of employee murders in the name of Roche Group, but I don't know if you have time?" As he spoke, Luo Yi unfolded the paper - a letter of appointment with a big red seal and a cash check: "This is the official letter of appointment, I have signed and sealed." And this, a cash check for half a million, as an upfront funding. The remaining 1.5 million will be paid in one lump sum after the completion of the matter! ”

"This ......" Xiao Ling was taken aback, and then became embarrassed, because he never thought that Luo Yi would suddenly take out so much money to invite him.

Two million, this is too scary!!

In Xiao Ling's opinion, even if you want to be invited, it is only about the same as ordinary employees, as long as you can meet your daily expenses. Although Luo Ziyan had also mentioned this matter to him in advance, Kong Zhiming's remarks made him a little difficult to ride a tiger. After all, how could a proprietor who owns five companies and a five-star hotel take such a small amount of money in his eyes? And how can you have the time and leisure to investigate the homicide?

"I know, you're usually very busy, but our requirements are not high, as long as you cooperate with the police more when you are free!" Luo Yi seemed to see through Xiao Ling's thoughts, and hurriedly explained while giving his daughter a look.

"You can do it yourself!" Luo Ziyan glanced at Xiao Ling with a smile and didn't say anything.

"Mr. Xiao, don't we have the company's affairs, we will ask you if there are any important things. If you have time, you should spend more time with Miss Ziyan! Without waiting for Xiao Ling to answer, Kong Zhiming snorted, stretched out his hand, and took the thing in Luo Yi's hand.

"Hahahaha, if you have a friend like this, what more can you ask for!" Luo Yi laughed.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling hurriedly borrowed the slope to get off the donkey: "Uncle is polite!" ”

As soon as the words fell, they saw Zhao Rui leading a group of classmates towards their table, each holding a glass of wine in their hands. To Xiao Ling's surprise, Mu Zihua was actually among them!

For a while, the planning was staggered, and a group of young people made a mess. A few elders don't have much to offer, so they can go crazy as much as they want. Luo Yi took this opportunity to thank the guests at the other table with his wine glass, leaving only Luo Jian and Zheng Keke's mother and daughter to accompany him.

Lively is lively, but after such a round, Luo Ziyan, who doesn't drink, poured a full stomach full of mineral water, and in the end, she couldn't hold it anymore so she let Xu Yan rush to the bathroom with her.

"Congratulations on your success and early birth of a noble son!" Zhao Rui, who was full of alcohol, avoided everyone's gaze and whispered a lewd smile in Xiao Ling's ear.

"Thirteen, remember, you owe Lao Tzu!" Wu Hua smiled and drank the glass of wine in front of Xiao Ling.

"Hold the grass, Thirteen, your kid's appearance today almost instantly blinded my titanium alloy dog's eyes!" Feng Zijian crooked his mouth and wiped a handful of saliva.

"Thirteen, you can't forget your brother if you have a female ticket, next time Xu Yan invites me, you will have to help me!" Wang Hui's face was grieved.

Only Liu Can didn't speak, patted Xiao Ling's shoulder, and walked back with a wine glass.

Xiao Ling was so dizzy that he didn't have time to scold them one by one, and a group of bad friends had already run away with a smile.

"Xiao Ling, congratulations, win the beauty!" Mu Zihua, who was dressed in a straight suit, put one hand in his trouser pocket, raised his glass to Xiao Ling with a smile, and there was not the slightest resentment in his eyes.

Why has this grandson changed so much, he was crippled by Lao Tzu, and he didn't have a little hatred today?! Xiao Ling muttered in his heart and ignored it.

It wasn't until Mu Zihua walked away that Kong Zhiming quietly stabbed Xiao Ling and lowered his voice: "When did the dumb overlord become a little fresh meat?" ”

"This only says one thing!" Xiao Ling was stunned word by word.

"How?"

"Only after experiencing some strong stimuli or experiences can people have this kind of drastic change of temperament!" Xiao Ling suddenly felt that the situation might have been unexpected by him, and even serious.

"Are you sure it's not the result of being beaten by you?"

"Absolutely not!" Xiao Ling shook his head. "It should have something to do with his recovery!"

"Looks like we need to care more about him." Kong Zhiming sighed.

"Sister-in-law, I have some stomach discomfort, so I'll go first." The Luo family, who had been holding their breath, finally stood up.

"Let's finish the cake and leave." Zheng Keke feinted.

"My stomach has not been very good these days, and the doctor has let me rest well." Luo Jian said with a dry smile.

"Then let's go and rest!" Zheng Keke said with concern.

"Okay!" Luo Jian smiled at the others again: "I'm sorry everyone, I won't be with you for a while!" Everyone didn't care, and they all made a perfunctory statement of concern.

Of course, Luo Jian left the table not only because he was angry, but he read something else from Luo Yi's eyes. In his opinion, Luo Yi and his wife should not have reappeared in the first place, and now, things are even worse than he expected.

From the beginning of Xiao Ling's 'shocking' entrance performance, he vaguely felt that it was not good, and as a result, Luo Yi asked Xiao Ling to help investigate at the table. In Luo Yi's opinion, apart from his own plan, he actually didn't consider other factors. But in Luo Jian's opinion, this is the prelude to Luo Yi's preparation to cultivate Xiao Ling as a future successor! In particular, after someone directly pointed out this meaning during the banquet, Luo Yi did not deny it. Coupled with the fact that Xiao Ling and Luo Ziyan's actions in the lobby fell into his eyes, how could Luo Jian have the heart to continue to do it.

In his opinion, as long as he is not careful, the Luo Group is likely to change his surname to Xiao!

Many things in the world were originally very simple, but because there were too many uncertainties, they eventually became extremely complicated.

Luo Jian is undoubtedly one of the uncertain factors!
