Ding Shijia didn't say much yesterday, but today he seemed to have been given a shot of blood. He jumped up and accused: "You Hongming Gang first murdered my father, and then killed my uncle. Today we will settle the two accounts together. "
"You have to have evidence when you speak..." Even though Hong Xue had been through a lot of troubles, he couldn't hold on anymore. His tone was a little soft: "On what basis do you say it was me who murdered the Ding brothers..."
"Don't make any noise." Xie Dong spoke at this time. He has a standard knife-shaped face. His left and right cheeks are asymmetrical. His appearance is quite creative: "We can find the murderer of Hall Master Ding slowly. We need to do it first. Solve the problem of the leader of the Lizi Hall."
"That's right..." Ding Shijia swallowed, glanced at Ling Cang nervously, and then said: "Yesterday, the bosses of the Lizi Hall voted for me to be the hall leader. Since some people have raised objections, they also want to As the leader of the hall, why don't we hold a vote."
As soon as Ding Shijia finished speaking, Xie Dong immediately raised his hand: "I support Master Ding Shijia."
"Xinzitang plus the bosses of Lizitang can count as two votes." Hao Zhanqiang smiled coldly, raised his hand and said, "I support Ling Cang."
Hong Xue immediately raised her hand: "I also support Ling Cang."
"Two votes to two." Panna smiled quite proudly and said slowly: "According to the rules, the tradition should be continued. That is, Ding Shijia will take over."
"In that case, congratulations to Master Ding." Hao Zhanqiang stood up and cupped his hands towards Ding Shijia. Then he sneered and said, "But no matter what, Yizitang will not listen to Lizitang's orders from now on."
Ding Shijia had always been a little afraid of Hao Zhanqiang. He lowered his head subconsciously. But Panna immediately glanced at him. He seemed to have gained courage. He puffed up his chest and asked: "Master Hao, you want to break the gang rules..."
"The rules of the Brother-Lao Association are not set by your Ding family." Hao Zhanqiang bowed his hands again and said, "Goodbye." He walked away.
Ling Cang and Hong Xue also left. Just like yesterday, they went to Hao Zhanqiang's house.
Things have reached this point. Although Ling Cang cannot be said to have lost, at least he has not won. Both sides are at odds with each other, and the situation has become very complicated.
In fact, the crux of the problem is that Xinzitang was not completed in time. But this is not because Ling Cang didn't want to, but because he couldn't. The internal fighting within Xinzitang was very fierce. Each faction strongly opposed the rise of someone from the other faction.
"If Ling Cang can become the leader of the Lizi Hall with a vote from the Xinzi Hall, the Ding family will have no choice but to get out." Hong Xue sat on the sofa and said angrily: "At that time, even if they continue to stay Observing etiquette and integrity are of no use at all."
"We have neglected Xinzi Hall." Hao Zhanqiang nodded dejectedly: "But I really don't have the ability to support a hall master who opposes the Ding family."
"I don't blame you." Hong Xue waved his hands loudly and said angrily: "If I had known this, I should have killed all the Ding family members in Xinzitang. It doesn't matter even if they are discovered afterwards. Anyway, the Hong Ming Gang I have already been blamed for the murder of Ding Maozhong. I don’t care about this one more thing. I want to see what the gang rules can do to me, Hong Xue.”
"You're right. Sometimes, you have to use some dictatorial methods..." Ling Cang nodded meaningfully: "But this time, even if we do it, it may not be useful."
Hong Xue immediately asked: "Why."
"Palace Master Hao was able to control Xinzitang to support us before. This shows that within Xinzitang, there are still more forces leaning towards us. Now, Panna can suddenly support Xie Dong to come to power. And then contact Panna who has been too brilliant in the past two days. Performance..." Although Ling Cang's mood is not high, it is not as low as Hong Xue: "It shows that she has indeed received strong support. We can't control Xinzitang no matter what."
"You already said this yesterday..." Hong Xue said listlessly: "Do you have anything new to say?"
"Of course there are new ones." Ling Cang smiled coldly: "I have already guessed who Panna's supporters are."
"Who is it?" Hong Xue was stunned: "Tell me quickly."
"This person can teach Pan Na to respond calmly, which shows that he is very scheming." Ling Cang did not answer directly, but reminded him word by word: "But being able to control Xinzitang's affairs is not just as simple as being scheming. .Must have huge influence within the Ge Lao Association and be able to overwhelm all objections."
Hong Xue still didn’t understand: “Who is it?”
Hao Zhanqiang immediately realized: "Don't you mean... Ren Zi Tang."
"That's right." Ling Cang nodded slowly: "I suspect Renzitang is back."
Hao Zhanqiang was stunned for a moment. Then he immediately took out his mobile phone: "I'll ask my brother at Xinzitang..."
"It's not necessary." Ling Cang interrupted Hao Zhanqiang: "I guess they have been given a gag order. No matter how you ask, they won't tell."
"Mom..." When Ding Shijia returned home after the meeting, he felt as if he was exhausted. His whole body was soaked with cold sweat. His chest kept rising and falling violently. He felt as if he had just engaged in strenuous exercise. In the more than ten years of his life, he had only enjoyed living and drinking. He had never experienced such a scene, nor had he participated in such a major event: "I'm afraid that I can't be the leader of this hall..."
"You have your mother to support you. What are you afraid of?" Panna sat next to her and patted Ding Shijia's shoulder gently: "As long as you work hard, no matter what problems you encounter, I can solve it for you, mother."
Ding Shijia looked at Panna, pursed her lips and asked, "Is it true?"
"certainly."
"But I don't understand anything..."
"If you don't understand, just learn." Looking at her son's cowardly look, Panna sighed helplessly: "Shijia, I'm not telling you that..."
"What's wrong."
"You usually only know how to play, and you don't learn much. And you only know how to enjoy it. You don't have to suffer at all..." Panna said here. She slowly shook her head: "I should have let you exercise more in the first place. That's all. My mother is too spoiled to you..."
I don't know why. When Ding Shijia heard these words, he suddenly thought of Ling Cang.
Ding Shijia didn't know that Ling Cang had a stronger background, but had been put outside for training since he was a child. Ding Shijia just intuitively believed that he shouldn't lose to a poor guy from a mountainous area: "Don't worry, Mom. I will definitely be able to do it." The family business is running well.”
"That's pretty much it." Panna nodded approvingly: "It's like what my son said."
"By the way..." A person must not only have ambition, but also talent. Otherwise, you will have great ambition but little talent. This is exactly the case for Ding Shijia. Although he plans to take over the position of the hall leader, he is at a loss about the current situation: "Old man Mom, what are you thinking? You said before that you wanted to leave Southeast Asia. Now you say that you want to keep everything the way it was in the past..."
Panna let out a long sigh. Then she shook her head: "Actually, your mother's mind has never changed..."
Ding Shijia shook his head stupidly: "I don't understand..."
"Your father and the Hong Ming gang have been fighting back and forth. On the surface, they are evenly matched, but in fact, their strength has been severely damaged. Moreover, your father is not as skillful as your great-grandfather and grandfather. He has become somewhat unable to convince Xinzitang and Yizitang. In addition, recent events have proved that the Hong Ming Gang is very powerful in the country. Therefore, it is difficult for our Ding family to maintain its past status..." After a pause, Panna continued: "My idea is... Since We are not familiar with Southeast Asia either. We might as well give up. If Xinzitang and Yizitang are disobedient, just let them go. As long as we can keep the Lizitang, let our Ding family continue to inherit the hereditary tradition. Although we say we must observe etiquette. The company is the foundation of Lizitang. But the same goes for being able to manage Xinyi Company well."
"I understand that. Then why did you change your mind?"
"I asked someone to talk to the Hong Ming Gang before and offered these conditions. But this person is really useless. I don't know what to say. The Hong Ming Gang doesn't give face at all." Pan Na thought of Zhang Qinghe and was very contemptuous. She snorted. Although it is said that one day a couple will last a hundred days, she and Zhang Qinghe can be regarded as a romantic couple. But she is very realistic. Zhang Qinghe failed to deal with the Hong Ming Gang. Now he is in jail again. It makes her very sad. Looking down on it: "A few days ago, someone gave me an idea. They said that I should advance before retreating."
"What's the meaning."
"Let's just say nice things to the Hong Ming Gang. It seems that we are scared and have given in. So, we should raise the conditions very high from the beginning. Only in this way can we have room for bargaining."
Ding Shijia finally understood: "Mom, you are so smart."
"Okay. I won't tell you anymore. I have something else to do..." Panna looked at the time and told Ding Shijia, "No need to wait for me. You can eat by yourself tonight."
"oh."
After Panna went out, she came to a five-star hotel and took the elevator to the top floor.
All the high-end rooms in this hotel are on the top floor. The room rates for each room are sky-high. However, just a few days ago, the entire top floor was booked out. The daily cost is close to astronomical figures.
The hotel staff all know that the person living on the top floor must be some kind of big shot. They just don’t know where he comes from.
The corridor was full of strong men in black suits. They all knew Panna. They bowed first and then took Panna to the presidential suite.
Sitting on the sofa in the presidential suite is a man who is nearly forty years old. However, he is very well maintained. He looks like he is no more than thirty years old. He is wearing a suit with very high-end fabrics and tailoring. He moves with calmness and confidence. He has a lot of personality. A strong aura.
This man was reading a newspaper. When he saw Panna come in, he immediately threw the newspaper aside and asked with a smile: "How was the meeting today?"
"I did exactly what you taught me." Panna sat down in the man's arms: "It seems to be a success."
