125. Disclosure within the circle
The ambulance whizzed by, taking the old man away.
Zhou Yi sat outside the emergency room and was so anxious that he couldn't do anything but wait.
This is the first time Zhao Ruozhi has seen Zhou Yi with such a six-god and ownerless appearance, it turns out that this man who is calm and decisive in the face of everything will also have such a helpless moment.
In the process of Zhou Yi's growth, his grandfather almost assumed the role of half of the father. He has always felt that men in the underworld will always stand at the top, looking at himself kindly, watching him grow up little by little. I didn't expect this day to come so quickly.
When the entire burden of the Water Sect was on his shoulders, he realized that it was not easy for his grandfather. He regretted that he had to fall out with his grandfather at the beginning, and even regretted that he had a child's temper when he became an adult, and he had to do his own business, and he couldn't be by his side and accompany him more.
At the moment when the old man fell, he was not only overwhelmed by fear, but also regret.
"Ah-Yi." Zhao Ruozhi called him lightly, "Grandpa will be fine." ”
"I didn't even know he was so sick."
Zhou Yi's eyes were slightly red, and his nasal voice was thick.
"I can ...... from it"
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Ruozhi was pulled into Zhou Yi's arms and hugged tightly.
"Don't go again until you have to."
Zhao Ruozhi felt a warm heart and said, "Listen to you." ”
The doctor came out of the emergency room, asked Zhou Yi to sign the consent form for surgery, and hurried into the operating room.
After more than five hours of heart surgery, Mr. Qian finally came out of the operating room and was transferred to the intensive care unit.
This time, Mr. Qian did not notify anyone of his illness, but there is no impermeable wall in the world. As soon as I was transferred from the intensive care unit to the general ward, there was already an endless stream of people coming to visit the patients.
According to the old man's orders, most of the people who came to visit the patient were rejected, and only a few close friends were seen, as well as the person in charge of the five major areas of the water faction in City C.
Old Man Qian arranged these people to come, mainly to let Zhou Yiduo get familiar with the affairs of the gang so that he could take over.
The heads of these five districts are: Chu Anguo in District 1, Hong Jialiang in District 2, Long Wenbin in District 3, Shi Tiancheng in District 4, and Feng Baiqing in District 5.
Chu Anguo in District 1 is a rough man who is 1.9 meters and full of rough words. In addition to being responsible for the management of gang members in District 1, he also controls the lifeblood of the major bars in City C.
Hong Jialiang in District 2 likes to wear suits and leather shoes, and dresses himself up as a gentleman, in fact, as long as there is a fight in City C, he has his share. To put it simply, he is responsible for providing "hitting" services. In some cases where it is inconvenient for the police to intervene, Hung Ka-leung's "beating" service is accurate and fast, and charges are charged according to the degree of disability.
Long Wenbin in District 3 is a good trader in the stock market and has made a lot of money for the water faction. He was the youngest of the five regional heads, and he looked like a young man who had just graduated from college.
Shi Tiancheng in the fourth district is short, he is only in his forties, and he has already lost his head, and all the chess and card rooms in the city are within his control.
Feng Baiqing, the head of the fifth district, is the only female person in charge of the five districts, just in her early thirties, with the charm of a mature woman, but also with some wildness, she controls the lifeblood of the entertainment club in her hands, and all the special services will pass through her hands. Indeed, such a job needs to be done by a woman.
Feng Baiqing's vicious eyes looked at Zhao Ruozhi beside Zhou Yi, making Zhao Ruozhi feel very uncomfortable.
"I've never heard of a woman around the young master, but I didn't expect it to be the most popular Miss Katy." Feng Baiqing covered her mouth and smiled: "No wonder I haven't been able to contact Katy, it turns out that the young master is blocking it." ”
"Keep your mouth shut." Zhou Yi's tone was cold, and he couldn't see any mood swings, but everyone knew that he was angry.
Shi Tiancheng stood up and played a round: "Xiaobai, that's an occupational disease, don't be angry, young master." ”
Chu Anguo also stood up to help Feng Baiqing speak: "Young master, you also know that people in that circle will more or less want to borrow Xiaobai to make a big deal. ”
Feng Baiqing didn't have the slightest sense of saying the wrong thing, but burned the fire even more: "Not long ago, someone asked me about Katy's worth......
The atmosphere in the room suddenly fell into a burst of embarrassment.
Old Man Qian cleared his throat and broke the terrible silence: "I forgot to introduce to you, Katy is your future young lady, what Feng Baiqing said just now, don't let me hear it a second time." ”
Feng Baiqing realized what a big mistake she had made, the young master didn't kick her out because of Old Man Qian's face, so he didn't embarrass her. She didn't dare to imagine that if Old Man Qian wasn't there, she might have to go out sideways today.
The low air pressure exuded by Zhou Yi made Feng Baiqing shiver.
She hurriedly gave Zhou Yi a smile: "Young master, I'm ...... I didn't know before, offended the young lady. Otherwise, you will bring your wife to show your face at the mid-year cocktail party of Hongyuan Group this weekend, which can be regarded as saying hello to people in the circle, and I can refuse those customers with crooked brains at one time. ”
"Got it." Zhou Yi said lightly, "I'll think about it." ”
Hongyuan Group's mid-year cocktail party is an annual event in the celebrity circle of C City, and there are always countless people who squeeze their heads for an invitation, pitifully casting envious eyes on the high society, hoping that the big guy can look at himself more as the capital to brag about in the future.
At that time, the city has an unshakable position in the country, and you can imagine what kind of scene it will be when this grand event is held, when the bright and undercurrent are staggered.
Zhao Ruozhi had heard of the wine party for a long time, but he didn't expect that the host of such a large-scale event, Hongyuan Group, would be Zhouyi's industry. In this way, it makes sense that Zhou Yi owns a castle in Seattle, USA.
Zhou Yi did not immediately agree that Feng Baiqing would take Zhao Ruozhi to attend the reception in order to solicit Zhao Ruozhi's opinion. The engagement ring he put on Zhao Ruozhi is still in his pocket, how could he rashly agree to go to such a big reception to make it public.
Zhao Ruozhi received Zhou Yi's inquiring gaze, and she hesitated. Returning the ring was just a matter of her own whim, and she blamed Zhou for not confessing his identity to her in the first place. But now that Zhou Yi has brought herself home and met so many people, she obviously wants to tell the entire Shui faction that she, Zhao Ruozhi, is already Zhou Yi's person. Whether she agrees or not, at least on the territory of the Water Sect, no one else will provoke her again.
Zhao Ruozhi knew in her heart that her feelings for Zhou Yi were real, and being with Zhou Yi was completely her high climb, and she had no room for refusal at all. She lowered her eyes weakly, acquiescing.
This year's cocktail party was arranged on a cruise ship, which reduced the pressure on security. Anyone who does not have an invitation letter is not allowed to get on the ship, which avoids the situation of celebrities from all walks of life being secretly photographed in previous years. There are pros and cons, and for seasick people, the whole process is very difficult.
The entertainment was all blocked by Zhou Yi, and Zhao Ruozhi came to the deck alone to blow the wind.
The moonlight is reflected on the dark water, faintly revealing a hint of coolness. When my fingers touched the cold wine glass, a thin layer of goosebumps appeared on my arm.
A coat with the smell of cologne fell on Zhao Ruozhi's shoulder, and when she looked back, she saw Su Xiaoyu wearing a thin light pink shirt, standing behind her.
"Why are you here?" Zhao Ruozhi asked.
"For such a good reception, it is natural to try to get an invitation."
Zhao Ruozhi smiled faintly, and his eyes drifted to the sea in the distance.
Su Xiaoyu saw that Zhao Ruozhi's interest was not high, and asked casually, "Don't you like this kind of drinking party?" ”
"I don't like it very much." The sweet red wine slid into his mouth, making Zhao Ruozhi lose his mind for a moment. "Those people in the banquet hall, just one word can change the fate of countless people.
After a long time, Zhao Ruozhi spoke again: "It was I who climbed him." There was a tiredness in her eyes that couldn't melt away, "I'm nobody, nothing, but I can stand here and hold his arm." ”
"You're making a fool of yourself." Su Xiaoyu looked at Zhao Ruozhi's delicate and perfect side face, and his eyes flashed, "Just because you are the most popular actress in China, you are qualified to stand by his side." ”
"Really?" Zhao Ruozhi smiled helplessly, "I used to keep saying that I didn't value fame and fortune, but in the end, I still had to succumb to these fame and power. Now that you've already come, you probably can't allow me to back down anymore, right? ”
"I was worried that you would be bullied in this circle if you had no desires. Now that you know that, I have nothing to worry about. ”
Zhao Ruozhi smiled, and the air around him seemed to become smart.
"Are you worried about me? Aren't you the one who teamed up with Yin Hanyun to bully me? ”
Su Xiaoyu scratched the back of his head in embarrassment: "It's me who is not good, I apologize to you." ”
"To apologize is to apologize, what are you scratching your ears and cheeks?"
"What do you want me to do?"
"Promise me three things."
"Okay, you say." Su Xiaoyu agreed without hesitation.
"The first thing is to drink with me." Zhao Ruozhi picked up the wine glass and handed it to Su Xiaoyu.
Su Xiaoyu's bony fingers made Zhao Ruozhi look slightly distracted.
"What about two other things?"
"I'll tell you when I'm ready." Zhao Ruozhi winked at Su Xiaoyu, "I've inquired, the pay for doing things is not low, I want to think about it." ”
Su Xiaoyu raised his head and drank all the liquor in the cup, with an evil smile on his face. The two actresses who had just come to the deck to blow the wind were actually taken away by Su Xiaoyu's evil smile, and they stood in the distance for a long time and couldn't move their feet.
On a night when the strong gather, the atmosphere on this small deck seems to be out of place with the whole cruise ship.
The sweet liquor in the crystal cup slid down his throat and ignited a fire in his chest, which could not be extinguished by the sea breeze.
