Chapter 176: Meeting
The next morning.
Li Ba arrived at the management committee building on time at nine o'clock. accompanied by Yang Jian'er and Liang Jie.
At seven o'clock in the morning, the management committee had already made an announcement. The candidates for the new committee members will be finalized and posted inside and outside the city. At the same time, notify the leaders of the big and small forces in the city to participate in the meeting.
When I arrived, there were cars parked outside the management committee building, and it was very lively.
"Mr. Li!"
"Commissioner Lai!"
As soon as Li Ba got out of the car, he was surrounded by many business owners and greeted him warmly. Some have changed their names to refer to him as a committee member, while others still use their previous titles.
"Hello everyone."
Li Ba smiled and nodded. Although these business owners are polite when they see them on weekdays, they are not as enthusiastic as they are today. Some people even have flattering and fearful expressions on their faces, desperately squeezing forward, whether they know each other or not, they have to be familiar.
Member of the Management Committee!
Harvest Firm Boss!
The No. 1 master in the West Port!
Li Ba knew it. With these titles hanging on themselves, it's no wonder that these guys are so courteous, bordering on flattery and flattery.
Finally squeezed out of the crowd, and when Li Ba was about to go upstairs, at the top of the stairs, he ran into Cao Bin of the Chiyan Mercenary Group.
"Commissioner Lai!"
Today, Cao Bin's face is also full of flattering smiles.
"Lao Cao, what have you been doing these days?"
Li Ba asked with a grin.
"What can my old Cao do, I didn't listen to your orders, I honestly took my brothers to rest at home, and I didn't even go out of the city gate!"
Cao Bin said. He had reached an agreement with Li Ba before that he would not help either party. Be neutral.
"That's not right!"
Li Ba squinted at Cao Bin, his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile. Unhurriedly said: "How did Lao Tzu hear that you mobilized people that night. All staff dispatched...... This seems to be a violation of our previous agreement, and there is a suspicion of helping Long Sihai! ”
"Commissar Li, what you said is that you have unjustly killed your little brother!"
Cao Bin immediately hugged his grievances, as if he had been greatly wronged, and began to babble. According to him, he saw the chaos in the city that night, and originally planned to take someone to check it out. If outsiders make trouble in Xibu City, he is still ready to take action. Help the authorities crack down on outlaws.
Who knows, when I went out, I ran into Si Jiyue's storm mercenary group. The other party's intentions are the same as his, so with the Storm Mercenary Group acting for him, he will also lead people to withdraw to the station.
"Brother, if I knew that it was Long Sihai's dog's trouble, I would definitely be on your side with Commissar Li, destroy this force, and return my Xibu City to Lang Lang Qiankun!"
Cao Bin foamed at the mouth and said something as an afterthought. Li Ba knew it. didn't bother to talk to him, said hello, and took Yang Jian'er Liang Jie directly to the elevator. Go to the rooftop meeting room.
Although Li Ba knew that Cao Bin mobilized people that night, there were signs of dispatch. But. He wasn't sure that this guy was going to help Long Sihai. Therefore, let Cao Bin go for the time being. Wait until the back is slowly cleaning up this guy.
"Commissioner Lai, I'm coming. I'll ......."
Cao Bin followed behind, and personally pressed the elevator for Li Ba, acting like a follower than Yang Jian.
"Damn, this dog day has the rhythm of grabbing Lao Tzu's job!"
Yang Jian was very unhappy.
When I got to the conference room on the top floor, it was already crowded with hundreds of people. On a rectangular conference table in the center, name tags are placed. Li Ba's seat is the first on the left. Xue Taigong followed.
"Xiao Li!"
The people of the Xue family had already arrived. Xue Taigong did not sit down, but was talking to several big businessmen. When he saw Li Ba coming, he immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Old man."
Li Ba arched his hand. He has always had great respect for this old man.
"I have to thank you this time, my old man can get an official to do it when he enters the coffin!"
After Xue Taigong arrived, he lowered his voice and thanked Li Ba for his recommendation.
"It's all your own people, so don't be polite, old man."
Li Ba replied with a smile.
As soon as he appeared, the situation was the same as downstairs, and the crowd immediately gathered around. The left sentence is Hello Member Li, I am so-and-so. The right sentence of Committee member Li is young and promising, and it is full of flattering words.
Originally, Xue Ligui was also surrounded by people, but after Li Ba appeared, these guys ran over one by one, leaving Xue Ligui alone, looking very embarrassed.
"The villain has a will!"
Xue Ligui looked at the conspicuous big bald head in the middle of the crowd, and a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes. Then, smiling, he walked over.
"Commissioner Lai!"
A middle-aged man with white and clean eyes came to Li Ba, smiled, and took the initiative to stretch out his right hand. He didn't squeeze in, but the crowd around him took the initiative to get out of the way and let him in.
"You ......"
"Xue Ligui, a member of the management committee, also serves as the administrative director."
The person who came was Xue Ligui. He took the initiative to introduce himself, spoke appropriately, and showed great quality and cultivation.
"Oh, it turned out to be Commissioner Xue!" Li Bapi didn't smile, and directly ignored Xue Ligui's outstretched right hand, and had no intention of shaking hands with this guy.
Xue Ligui, whose identity is similar to Zhao Laifu. Before the end of the day, he worked in Xibu Town, and after the establishment of the settlement, he was elected as a member of the management committee due to his wide connections, and also served as the director of the administrative department.
Among the members of the Seven National Congress, he and Zhao Laifu do not belong to the military forces, and they have intersections with Long Sihai and others on weekdays. After Zhao Laifu's death, this person was lonely in the management committee, and was snubbed by the military, and he was very unwilling.
Li Ba has no good impression of this guy. Among them, in addition to the fact that he and Zhao Laifu are the same as each other, the biggest reason is that this guy's nephew Xue Lin once kidnapped his sister, and when Li Ba was in trouble, he helped Li Chao torture him.
Xue Ligui kept stretching out his right hand, and Li Ba didn't mean to shake hands with him, surrounded by the leaders of the big and small forces in Xibu City, he felt very embarrassed, and his heart was full of anger.
However, the face did not show it. Because the bald guy in front of him is said to be more powerful than Liang Shaoping, and now he is known as the number one master in Xibu, and even Long Sihai was hit hard by it and escaped.
Even if Xue Ligui was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to tear his face.
"Everyone, please take a seat!"
At this moment, Wang Feng and other official high-level officials came to the venue and relieved Xue Ligui.
Today, all the middle and high-level personnel of the official military were present. Li Ba saw Han Xue and waved with a smile. Han Xue also saw him, and nodded slightly with a little reserve.
There is also a cheap cousin Luo Jianguo, who is the deputy director of the official materials department and a middle and high-level person, who is qualified to come to the meeting this time.
In addition to the long table in the center, there are rows of tables around the room, all marked with the names of the participants. After Wang Feng and other officials arrived, all the participants returned to their seats. Li Ba also came to the first seat on the left hand of the conference table and sat down.
As for Yang Jian'er and Liang Jie, there are seats specially prepared for the entourage next to them.
There were only about 20 people seated at the entire conference table. In addition to the members of the management committee, there are also representatives of various big businesses and big forces in the city. Cao Bin was honored to sit next to Li Ba. Underneath him was a short-haired woman who attended on behalf of the Storm Mercenaries.
"Feiyan, where is your eldest sister?"
Li Ba couldn't help but ask. This man named Feiyan is familiar to him, and he used to drink not long ago.
"The eldest sister was a little uncomfortable and sent me to participate."
This man's wife named Feiyan is very polite to Li Ba, and can even be described as very convincing. From her mouth, Li Ba learned that Si Jiyue had an uncomfortable stomach in the past few days, so she was unable to come to the meeting in person.
"With your eldest sister, I'll take time to visit her in the afternoon!"
"Okay."
Si Jiyue, this girl is a good person. It can be seen from the help that night, therefore, Li Ba has a very good impression of her. Although he was forcibly pushed by the other party, it did not affect his opinion of Si Jiyue at all.
Before the meeting began, Wang Feng took the lead in standing up and said: "Member Liang Shaoping and Committee member Kang Dawei unfortunately died, please observe a minute of silence for them." ”
Everyone stood up, responded to Wang Feng's proposal, and paid silent tribute to Liang Kang and the others. Xibu City was established by Liang Shaoping, and the representatives of the large and small forces present were very respectful to the late military leader.
A minute has passed.
Everyone sat down again, and the meeting officially began. First of all, Wang Feng made a speech, he temporarily took the position of chairman of the management committee, and solemnly introduced the three new members. (To be continued......)
