Chapter 128: Invitation? Dig a pit!
As soon as Su Ya's words fell, Chen Jielai, who was dressed in a white shirt, interjected with a smile: "Su Ya, don't tease her, Xiaoyan has just sat in the position of the fourth hall master, you can't wait to win her over, so let her sit in that position a little longer~~ Anyway, she will marry sooner or later." ”
Xu Xiaoyan squinted at Chen Jielai and scolded lightly: "Sycophant, you need to arrange your aunt's affairs?" Be careful of getting stuck by fish bones for a while! ”
"Hehehe~"
Chen Jie was not annoyed when he heard the other party's words, he looked at Li Xiling and complained: "President, look, this Xiaoyan's temper is getting bigger and bigger now, no wonder she can't get married at the age of thirty, and it is estimated that she will become the most famous old girl in our Chinatown in the future." ”
"Chen Jie is coming!"
Xu Xiaoyan seemed to be going crazy, and Li Zhaodi, who was sitting next to her, hurriedly pulled her arm and whispered:
"Sister Yan, your dress today is so beautiful, where did you make it? Can you introduce me to it? I also want to make one, and I will wear it during the Spring Festival this year. ”
Although Xu Xiaoyan finished scolding this and that, her face softened significantly when she heard Li Zhaodi's words.
"Brother, it's not easy for you to want it? My sister will give you a set and take you to measure your size after eating, which is my sister's own tailor shop, using the best materials, the best tailor in Chinatown. ”
As soon as this all-fish feast began, everyone present was already fighting openly and secretly, and there was quite a taste of the battlefield without gunsmoke.
Zhou Yuzhuang whispered to Judge Foster next to him as if at random, but in fact, he quietly observed everyone's attitude and the possible relationship between them.
Xu Xiaoyan, it should have been not long after she was promoted to the position of hall master, and the whole person looked more upright, saying that it sounded a little cold, but if it was ugly, she didn't have a bottom in her heart, and deliberately pretended to be deep.
Lei Jiu, who is dressed strangely, is a big grinning person, but in fact, there are a lot of little Jiujiu hidden in his heart.
Liao Baihua is gloomy, and he knows that he has a bad stomach just by looking at it with his eyes.
Chen Jielai is gentle and polite on the surface, but in fact, he doesn't leave the sycophants in three sentences, it seems that he wants to hug Li Xiling's thigh.
Among the people present, only the plain duck who was not good-looking made Zhou Yu a little unable to see the depth, this person is the master of Xiesheng Hall, he must have some ability to suppress those subordinates, and he seems to be casual when talking to others, but in fact he is neither humble nor arrogant, no matter who he is, he is an equal and intersecting posture, except for a slight restraint when facing Li Xiling.
Zhou Yu felt that this person needed special attention.
As for the old man Li Xiling, he said a sentence to Zhou Yu from time to time, eating fish in small bites, and did not get involved in the verbal confrontation of those people, as if he was still a little happy.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, perhaps alcohol played a role, and the big people at the table talked more than at the beginning, and the volume was much higher than at the beginning.
Li Xiling dragged Zhou Yu, let him get closer to him, and whispered, "How is it?" How does it feel? These people here basically hold up the entire Chinatown of New York, and the Chinese United Union, and are the most likely candidates to run for the presidency after I retire, which of them do you think is most likely to take over my shift? ”
Zhou Yu was slightly stunned, he didn't expect the old man to suddenly ask him such an important question, how could he, a young man who had just arrived and was not yet twenty years old, answer? How can he be qualified to judge these club bosses?
Zhou Yu tilted his head slightly, and whispered in the old man's ear: "I think your old man's body is still very strong, and he is in the prime of life, why do you have to retreat bravely?" Young people also need more guidance and support from you. ”
Li Xiling pointed at him and smiled: "Little slippery head, don't learn from those old guys, young people should be a little sharp, sleek and sophisticated, or wait until they are old to think about it." ”
"What the old man taught me was, boy, I also felt that I lacked some edge, maybe this was due to my character."
Zhou Yu thought to himself, you can eat when you invite me to dinner, why do you want to ask these sensitive questions? How can I, a powerless young man who has just arrived in New York, answer this kind of offending question, old man, you are digging a hole for me.
Li Xiling didn't seem to be enjoying it, stretched out his hand under the table and quietly pointed ahead: "I'm ninety years old this year, if I still occupy the position and don't move the nest, some people will go crazy, such as Liao Baihua sitting opposite me, this stinky boy has been very inflated recently, and he can still be a little more restrained in front of me, and he is eyeing the position of the president, and only in terms of surface strength, he is already second only to me An Liangtang." ”
To be honest, Zhou Yu really doesn't want to hear him say this now, let alone get involved in the quagmire of the general election of the Chinese trade union so early.
This matter didn't have much to do with him, Zhou Yu just wanted to open his bar, start a small field, step by step, and slowly radiate his influence to other areas through the Upper East Side of Manhattan, and there was no need to start a hell mode.
Seeing that Zhou Yu didn't answer and didn't have the curiosity to ask, Li Xiling sighed secretly in his heart, "Why is this kid's heart so calm, isn't he interested in this?" ”
The old man paused, and then pointed to the direction of the vegetarian duck under the table: "This dead duck doesn't look at his appearance as harmless to humans and animals, but in fact, his hands are black, although he Xieshengtang is not obvious on the surface, but I know that they are holding a breath underneath, when I step back from this position, his strength is about to come out, and at that time I am afraid that Chinatown will be bloody again, and it will not be peaceful......"
Zhou Yu asked in a somewhat puzzled whisper: "Old man, there are so many disciples and grandchildren in your Anliang Hall, can no one stop them?" ”
Speaking of his disciples and grandchildren, Li Xiling's face was slightly gloomy.
"Maybe it's because I played too hard before, those nephews are not young, and they have long lost that energy, and my youngest granddaughter Ah Di is a little interested in managing the club. But you have also seen that if you want to do it, you have to do some things that girls should do, anyway, sooner or later you have to find a man to marry, it's better not to get involved in these things, otherwise you will become a big girl like a swallow and be alone. ”
Regarding Old Man Li's remarks, Zhou Yu actually had a different attitude in his heart.
It is obvious that Li Xiling still has the feudal society's extremely strong inertial thinking of male superiority and inferiority, and thinks that women should become subordinates of men, and teach their husbands and children at home, but Zhou Yu, as a modern person, naturally knows that many women's abilities are not lost to men at all, and the arrogant and somewhat annoying Li Zhaodi is just in his early twenties, it is not easy to have this aura, if the old man can help and help, she may not be able to support the entire Anliangtang in the future, of course, This is a bit too bold and crazy for people in this day and age.
Seeing that Zhou Yu still didn't have the desire to continue to delve into this topic, the old man didn't click on the side, but went straight to the point:
"Little friend, are you interested in joining the Chinese United Trade Union and becoming a part of us? Joining the union not only can get a lot of additional resources and help, but white people don't dare to bully you easily, for you, we are thousands of miles away from home, but we should also huddle together to keep warm and protect our own interests. ”
Zhou Yu subconsciously wanted to say, "Don't, I don't want to wade into your troubled waters", but on the surface, he was still grateful: "Thank you for your love, but aren't we here to eat fish today?" I wasn't mentally prepared for you to suddenly ask me such a big question, and I had to discuss it with my brothers, our Dragon Chamber of Commerce is a joint-stock company, and I don't count it alone. ”
