The beautiful young woman brought the tea and then left. Zhou Kai looked at her intently.
"Little fat boy, pay attention to your quality!" Sun Renyi reminded.
"Um...ah...cough, I got it." Zhou Kai quickly turned around and said, "Old man Zhou, why do you have to meet here to do this extra legwork?"
"Maybe it's inconvenient there. Aren't we and Ba Chu all in this cafe? Wouldn't it be nice to have something to eat and drink? Isn't that what you like?" Wan Yanfeng pursed her lips and smiled.
"Well, right...hey? Why are you only serving drinks, waiter! Bring some food!" Zhou Kai shouted.
More than half an hour later, Liu Dong entered the room and sat down without any courtesy.
"Secretary Liu just came. He's so busy." Zhou Kai asked, biting off a piece of cake.
"It's true that I'm a little busy. What's the matter? I took the initiative to find Director Zhou. I guess there's something wrong?" Liu Dong smiled.
"Of course there is something going on, otherwise how could I dare to disturb you?" Yu Xiaolong said with a smile.
While they were talking, Zhou Lie walked in, and Liu Dong quickly stood up and asked him to sit down.
"Yu Xiaolong, I haven't seen you for a while. I see you are doing well!" Zhou Lie habitually took out a cigarette and lit it.
Wan Yanfeng frowned, stood up, opened the door and window, and stood at the door.
Zhou Lie paused and continued to smoke.
"No, no, thanks to the care of the Eighth Office." Yu Xiaolong waved his hand.
"When did you learn to be so glib? It's not like you!" Zhou Lie snorted coldly.
"Concession, concession." Yu Xiaolong chuckled.
"Don't talk nonsense, you'd better tell me something important, otherwise I won't spare you!" Zhou Lie looked at him seriously with a straight face.
"There must be something going on, otherwise I wouldn't dare to come to you directly~ Haha." Yu Xiaolong scratched his head and laughed.
"Then tell me, I still have something to do." Zhou Lie finished squinting his eyes and stubbed them out in the ashtray.
"The first thing is, what will happen when the Shandong Province Cultivation Circle Conference is held tomorrow?" Yu Xiaolong asked.
"This meeting is scheduled in Yihe City. I have been busy with this matter recently. There is a lot of chaos. Don't you have to attend too?" Zhou Kai took a sip of tea.
"Yes, so let me first ask what the main purpose of this conference is." Yu Xiaolong asked.
"It's a meeting. It's just a meeting where important members of the province sit together to discuss things. Summarize past lessons and plan next goals. What's going on? What are you going to do?" Zhou Lie looked at him sideways.
"It's nothing, what kind of big shots are here?" Yu Xiaolong asked next.
"This is confidential. You can't talk about it casually now. What do you want to do? I'm warning you not to make trouble. I am responsible for the order and safety of the conference." Zhou Lie looked at him angrily.
"Look at what you said, it's like I'm just making trouble. It's true. I just want to make more friends!" Yu Xiaolong scratched his head and said.
"You?" Zhou Lie snorted and said, "You just know each other. What do you want from me?"
"I just want to inquire about the big shot! Just tell me. What's not safe and unsafe? Don't you know who I am?" Yu Xiaolong said shamelessly.
Zhou Lie looked at him unhappily and said after a moment: "There is a representative from the National Association, as well as those guys from this province, and the others are the leaders of your sects."
"Oh, I understand." Yu Xiaolong nodded thoughtfully.
Zhou Lie lit up a cigarette and looked at him and said, "Yu Xiaolong, you have to stay calm and don't cause trouble. Just stay there and listen."
"I know, I know, what else can I do, really." Yu Xiaolong was depressed.
"This...does the General Assembly care about food?" Zhou Kai suddenly interrupted.
Everyone was stunned and speechless.
Zhou Lie looked at him sideways and said: "The family sect can only be attended by one person, who is responsible for the food, and it is quite good and very rich. It's a pity that you can't eat it."
"Tch~ Why are you so stingy in ruining the conference!" Zhou Kai snorted coldly.
"Yu Xiaolong, I hope you won't mess around, just listen carefully and do whatever is arranged." Zhou Lie repeated again.
"I know, I know." Yu Xiaolong was depressed.
"That's what you asked me to come for?" Zhou Lie was a little impatient.
"Of course there is something else, but I thought about it and will tell you after the meeting is over." Yu Xiaolong said with a smile.
Zhou Lie looked at him with furrowed brows, a little angry.
Upon seeing this, Liu Dong quickly asked: "Xiaolong, just tell me if you have anything to do. Director Zhou is very busy, so don't make fun of me."
Yu Xiaolong chuckled and said, "In other words, you can find out without finishing the meeting. It's not a trivial matter."
Zhou Lie looked at him seriously, wondering in his heart what he was going to do.
Liu Dong was also puzzled and asked again: "Can't you say it now?"
Yu Xiaolong shook his head and said: "As long as you arrange for me to speak, you will know what is going on."
Zhou Lie immediately waved his hands and said, "I can't control this."
Yu Xiaolong smiled and said, "Then I'll find a way myself."
…
Yu Xiaolong walked into the spacious assembly hall, which was bustling with many people chatting there.
He looked around and found that he didn't recognize most of them. They were all new faces, but they all looked like they had status.
I also met a few acquaintances among them and greeted each other politely.
Yu Xiaolong stood in the corner bored, observing everyone.
"Yu Xiaolong."
A voice suddenly came from beside him, startling him.
He turned around and saw that it was Zhou Lie.
"Oh my god, Director Zhou, you scared me to death!" Yu Xiaolong said depressedly.
"You're scared to death just by saying a word? Are you not that timid? Are you thinking about something? I reminded you last night. This is an important meeting. Don't mess with me." Zhou Lieleng
Hummed.
Yu Xiaolong was very speechless, frowning and asked: "In your eyes, I seem to be an unstable element, really."
"Isn't it?" Zhou Lie snorted coldly.
"You...you have to...just go about your business." Yu Xiaolong was extremely depressed.
After the hour, everyone took their seats. Yu Xiaolong counted, there were almost two hundred people.
After a while, several people came up to the stage.
The leader was a middle-aged man in his fifties, who walked with a lively manner and had an extraordinary temperament.
The man in the back, who I knew from Xiaolong, was Che Fengyun, the president of the Shandong Province Cultivation Association, and there were several middle-aged men behind him, each of whom looked very extraordinary.
After being introduced by the host, Yu Xiaolong learned that the man leading the meeting was Hao Bai, the representative of the National Association of Practitioners, who came specifically to attend the meeting.
Che Fengyun was very polite to him, whispering to him constantly, and from time to time both parties would show a smile.
After a brief speech, Hao Bai was the first to speak.
"Dear leaders, friends, and comrades, today is an important day and a happy day. I am honored to attend this meeting. First of all, on behalf of the National Cultivation Association, I would like to express welcome and thanks to everyone!" Hao Bai said in a loud voice.
, the microphone is redundant for him.
"Full of official style." Yu Xiaolong thought to himself.
Although Hao Bai's voice was loud, it revealed his impressive status. Che Fengyun sat next to him and listened carefully, clapping his hands from time to time.
He was polite at first, then praised the Lu Province Cultivation Association, and also put forward some baseless opinions on some matters.
Yu Xiaolong sat there and mechanically clapped along with everyone, really unwilling to listen to such nonsense.
Twenty minutes later, Hao Bai finally finished his speech, and the auditorium burst into warm applause.
Che Fengyun nodded and started the next procedure.
He first expressed his gratitude to Hao Bai for attending, expressed his gratitude to the National Cultivation Association, and made some analysis of the spiritual practice community in Shandong Province.
Yu Xiaolong was almost asleep, watching in boredom the people on the stage, spittle flying everywhere.
Throughout the whole day, several people were talking, and some were planning some prospects for the spiritual practice world in Lu Province.
Hao Bai no longer attended the meeting the next day, and Che Fengyun continued to take charge.
Representatives of several sects took the stage to speak and introduced some aspects of their sects.
The afternoon was a time for free discussion, and some people gathered around and chatted.
Yu Xiaolong looked around and didn't know what to do, and he didn't let himself speak. He felt a little depressed.
Che Fengyun said on the stage: "The conference is coming to an end. If there is anyone who wants to speak, you can put it forward. If not, this meeting is almost over."
This was originally a procedural issue, and many people began to pack up and prepare to leave.
At this moment, Yu Xiaolong stood up and said, "I said."
