Chapter 21 Time is money
After Xu Zilin listened to Mrs. Xu's reprimand for the maid, she suddenly realized, thinking: Grandma is still smart, killing people invisibly, powerful!
Xu Zilin gave Mrs. Xu 100,000 likes in her heart, and she suddenly felt comfortable. Xu Zilin looked at Liu Qianqian with her head down, thinking that she should be angry enough.
Old Madam Xu looked at Xu Zilin's face with a smile on her face, and she was also comfortable. Mrs. Xu didn't go to see Liu Qianqian, she didn't have to think about it to know what kind of mood Liu Qianqian would be at the moment. Mrs. Xu didn't want to pay attention to Liu Qianqian's feelings, and there was no need.
Mrs. Xu looked at the time, according to the convention, the guests should be on the way here. Just finished thinking about it, the landline rang. Sister-in-law Li came in to answer the phone, and it was the phone from the guard room at the foot of Xujia Mountain: "Old lady, the guest has arrived." Sister-in-law Li said.
"Well, okay, you come with me to the door to greet you. Old Madam Xu said to Sister-in-law Li.
"Lin'er, you go to touch up your makeup, and then go to the banquet hall when the banquet starts. Old Madam Xu said to Xu Zilin again.
"Okay, Grandma. Xu Zilin returned to her well-behaved and clever appearance. The skirt was carried by several maids, like a proud peacock, and walked towards the dressing room.
Old Madam Xu was about to leave, turned around and said to Liu Qianqian: "You better go, don't cry with a sad face." Sister-in-law Li, ask someone to drive her out to the side door, don't run into guests. ”
Liu Qianqian swallowed back the tears in her eyes, looked up and listened to Mrs. Xu's arrangement, nodded in agreement, stood up, and watched Mrs. Xu leave the hall.
The inner hall was quiet, and only Liu Qianqian was left standing in place.
Liu Qianqian stretched out her trembling hands hanging down her legs, and her ten fingers burned by boiling water were red and swollen, and there were already large blisters floating. His fingers couldn't move, and he still kept the same movement as he held the cup.
Liu Qianqian stared at the originally slender and white hands, which became swollen like pig's trotters at this moment. His gaze was fixed on his left foot again, and it hurt even more when he stood up.
Thinking about what happened tonight, the pain in Liu Qianqian's chest overwhelmed the pain caused by hand injuries and foot injuries. She tilted her head and tried to keep her eyes open, letting the tears in her sockets try to pour back into her body. She felt that she was humiliated enough and miserable enough tonight, that she had to retain the last bit of her dignity, and she was determined not to cry. Can't let people see her jokes anymore. It was the only vestiges of her dignity left.
"Miss Liu, the car is ready, please here. A servant stood at the door of the side door and said to Liu Qianqian.
After Liu Qianqian sorted out her emotions, she followed the servant and walked in the direction of the car and got into the car. Liu Qianqian was thinking: Why didn't Mrs. Xu leave when she gave the order to evict the guests? Knowing that even if she stayed, she couldn't change anything, so why did she bother?
Mrs. Xu's guest's car and Liu Qianqian's car passed by on their backs. Liu Qianqian finally looked up at the Xu family not far away, she was an outsider after all, not even an outsider who was not as good as a passerby.
Mrs. Xu greeted the first guests with her domestic servants.

After Mrs. Xu went out, Xu Jianhao walked around the banquet hall, browsed it roughly, and handed over the rest of the work to the housekeeper.
Large banquets like this were often held in the Xu family, and the housekeepers and servants knew everything about the master's requirements. There is no need to let the owner have any worries.
Because of tonight's banquet, Xu Jianhao has been in the past month and has not been able to sleep well.
Xu Jianhao didn't know what means the woman used, she could take Old Lady Xu and Xu Zhenxing away together an hour before the banquet started. And just after he hung up her phone, she easily solved his nerve-wracking affair for a month. Thinking that in addition to admiring his grandfather, Xu Jianhao has few people who can get into his eyes, and this time he is still a woman. It couldn't help but make him have some respect for her, but he thought of his acquaintance with this woman and the conditions he agreed to her.
Xu Jianhao suddenly burst into a string of fireworks in his heart. He has always been the only one who threatens and intimidates people, and no one dares to blackmail him so boldly and openly, and on the premise of knowing his identity, he has such a thorough grasp of his whereabouts. This woman is not only unusual, but also has extraordinary courage and identity. It seems that he is a chess opponent. He had to check the details of this woman, otherwise he didn't know what conditions this woman would offer to fool him.
Thinking of this, Xu Jianhao couldn't help laughing. When did he start to be wary of a woman, just a woman, even if she has the ability to reach the sky, what is there to fear?
Immediately, Xu Jianhao's sleepiness hit, and he had to sleep peacefully for a while, so that he could show his majesty again at the banquet an hour later.
After Zhou Qi'an and Song Zhe were placed in the hotel, they did not go out again. They don't want to make any more troubles. To find out who they were trying to intercept at the airport, and for what purpose, we will wait until we have attended tonight's banquet before we can investigate. For this occasion, it is to protect yourself and protect your life safety under the premise of not knowing what the comer means.
In order not to have too many dreams at night, Zhou Qi'an arranged for Song Zhe to make a reservation, and the flight back to country M two hours after the banquet began.
Although their Zhou family is not as wealthy as the Xu family, his Zhou family is also a first-class wealthy family in high society. Therefore, the commonality between their wealthy families, Zhou Qi'an knows it well. He calculated that the Xu family's feast tonight would end in two hours.
Because in the world of rich people, time is money. They will not waste money on any time that should not be wasted, even if it is the two hours of the Xu family's banquet, they are still carrying out it with the purpose of making money. Two hours is not long enough to promote any business, any buying and selling.
Xinguo is an island country surrounded by the sea. Great location and beautiful location. Whether it is industry, agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, sideline fishery, and its unique tourism, it has developed very well. Even though Xinguo is only an island country, not as large as the geographical territory of China and M, it has become one of the top countries in the world by virtue of its economy.
Among them, the contribution of the Xu family is not small, especially the contribution of Mrs. Xu is immeasurable. The economic strength of the Xu family and the status of the Xu family in the new country are obvious to all in the business community. Therefore, the Zhou family, as the economic giant of country M, also wants to climb the Xu family, and at the same time, expand its territory.
Zhou Qi'an stood on the balcony of the luxury suite, condescendingly looking at the night sky of Xinguo, the sky was full of stars, and the oncoming wind had the salty smell of the sea.
