Chapter 149, stealing the beam and changing the column (2)
At around seven o'clock in the afternoon, when it started to get dark, the "arrest" team composed of direct senior officials of various major families officially entered T city.
After receiving the news, Di Cheng left Lingshi County with Jin Xueliang, Nangong Shang, Yang Jing and many other senior officials from the Eight Departments, and went to the Blue Rose Hotel under the Tiancheng Group to hold a dinner to wait for the original guests.
As a well-known five-star hotel in the province, "Blue Rose" has won an excellent reputation with its simple and elegant retro atmosphere and all-inclusive variety of food. Being able to entertain guests here is a status symbol in itself, and it is also a treat for guests.
Respect. Of course, the consumption here is naturally far higher than that of ordinary restaurants, and it is definitely beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Although Di Cheng didn't have a good impression of those people from big families, he couldn't lower his etiquette level, at least he couldn't lose Tianmen's face. So the place for this banquet was chosen to be the "Yougu Tingquan" on the top floor of Lanmei.
The clear spring is tinkling, the sound of the piano is curling up, there are many rockeries, and the green bamboos are lingering. Looking around, this 400-square-meter hall seems to be installed beside a deep mountain spring pool. The scenery is beautiful, elegant and simple, and it is accompanied by the wonderful music of the piano.
, it is refreshing and intoxicating.
Sitting on the gravel bench, Di Cheng seemed to be in a good mood, chatting with many brothers, drinking tea and wine, and enjoying himself.
Jin Yixuan, Annie, Guan Ying and other girls gathered together and talked about their own topics. Their clear and joyful laughter and shy and beautiful faces added a lot to the dinner party.
The atmosphere in the whole place was cheerful, with constant laughter and laughter. Only Nangong Shang and Jin Xueliang felt the strangeness of the atmosphere. According to their expectations, Di Cheng and the others should be sad and angry now. Why are they looking so relaxed and talking and laughing to themselves?
Drinking alcohol.
Looking around again, all the waiters in ancient costumes have left. I don’t know when they have been replaced by burly and majestic men. They are scattered around the rockery, pool and bamboo pavilion. A rough estimate is that there are enough to number fifty people.
.
What is this for?!!
Jin Xueliang and Nangong Shang exchanged suspicious looks, and were about to warn Di Cheng when Sha Lang, who was waiting outside to greet him, pushed open the closed bamboo door, made a simple gesture of invitation, and said with a smile: "
Everyone, please, Brother Cheng has been waiting for you for a long time."
Outside the door, the guests gathered together. They first looked at the environment and conditions inside. A dozen middle-aged men with good temperaments walked in one after another. Some were majestic and cold, some were shrewd and cunning, some were wise and bright, some were weak and slender.
There are all kinds of people with different postures, direct figures or other high-level people from all major families! Among them are provincial officials from various places, military commanders, managers or directors of large listed groups.
They are all famous elders and celebrities with extremely high prestige in a certain field. In addition to relying on their background advantages to achieve their current achievements, who can say that they do not have some means and abilities?
The appearance of this group of people brought an obvious sense of oppression to the venue, and their deep or bright gazes swept over everyone, making people's breath stagnant. There was no blood in them, and no murderous intention.
However, the unique majesty of a superior person resulting from being in a high position for a long time cannot be underestimated by others.
"Uncle Xiong, long time no see." Di Cheng left his seat and quickly met one of the middle-aged men who looked elegant. He was one of the top contemporary figures of the Xiong family, the younger brother of Xiong Weiye, and the eldest son of Xiong Wuhen.
Xiong Weiyi, current director of HB Provincial Local Taxation Bureau!
Xiong Weiyi smiled and nodded, not shying away from the weird looks from outsiders, and patted Di Cheng's shoulder affectionately: "Thirteenth? Haha, good job! That guy Xiong Cai is not with the wrong person! Do it well, don't worry, there will be success
Needless to say, our Lao Xiong family has never been afraid of anyone!"
A simple joke made many people slightly change their expressions. Who was Xiong Weiyi talking to? What did the last sentence mean?
"Uncle Xiong is so polite. I am relying on Xiong Cai. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be as relaxed as I am now." Di Cheng's smile deepened. As expected of the Xiong family, he speaks and acts in the same style - refreshing! Domineering!
Nangong Shang walked up and said with a smile: "Stop complimenting me, Di Cheng. You go and receive the others. Lao Xiong left it to me. I haven't seen you for several years. We have to be busy today."
"Don't blame me. I asked you several times, but you kept telling me to wait, and wait, and it lasted more than three or four years."
"It's okay to go have tea, but I'm afraid you'll ask me to pay taxes."
"Haha! You're a miser."
The relationship between the two was already good, so when they met after many years, they were naturally enthusiastic, chatting and laughing with each other as they walked inside.
After Di Cheng signaled Yang Jing and others to follow and take care of them, under the guidance of Jin Xueliang, he began to greet these "big shots" one by one, and led them to the seats in the infield in turn.
As the core figures of each family, they have the right to know certain confidential matters. Naturally, they understand the current status of Di Cheng in the world. The strong sense of oppression and fierce aura that is invisible, force everyone to restrain themselves.
He was so arrogant, even if he didn't have a good impression, he showed a little smile at this moment to cope with it.
"Are you Di Cheng? Yes, you are a talented person." At the end of the introduction, a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed eyes looked at Di Cheng up and down with a slightly ambiguous look.
"Who is this..." Di Cheng asked. He admitted that this man was very elegant and handsome. He should have been a handsome man when he was young. But the look in his eyes made him feel uncomfortable for no reason.
Before Jin Xueliang could speak, the man smiled and said: "Introduce yourself, my name is Yang Yi, from the Yang family."
"You don't mind if you call me Uncle Yang?" Di Cheng smiled and saluted, but he couldn't help being a little surprised. The Yang family? The eight major families? Except for the Xiong family and the Mu family, all the others seemed to be slightly indifferent to him. In front of him,
Why is this person so enthusiastic?
"I don't mind. Come and sit at my place when you have time some other time. Welcome." Yang Yi shook hands with Di Cheng cordially and extended the invitation with a smile in front of everyone.
"Definitely, I will definitely visit another day." Di Cheng was even more surprised. Being able to express goodwill in the current situation is of great significance! What's more, the other party is from the Yang family, which is famous for its strong financial resources! Among the eight major families, the Wang family is also known as the two major business empires.
!
"Say hello loudly before you go, and I'll ask my girl to get ready."
Girl?? Di Cheng suddenly thought of something and said: "Your daughter's name is..."
"The little girl's name is Yang Yu, and she is Jin Yixuan's classmate. I heard from her that you two are familiar with each other?"
Di Cheng's eyes twitched slightly, and he said with a smile on the surface: "I've met you a few times, but I didn't expect you to be Miss Yang's father. I'm sorry."
"Don't be so polite. I like to be casual."
"Yang Yi, I've been waiting for you!" Jin Xueliang coughed a few times and interrupted the two of them.
"Uncle Yang, please." Di Cheng raised his hand to signal.
"Let's talk again when we have the chance. Let's talk about business today." Yang Yi pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, looked at Jin Xueliang meaningfully, and walked to the infield under the leadership of Zhang Chuo.
When Yang Yi walked away, Jin Xueliang lowered his voice and reminded Di Cheng: "The Yang family has been in business for generations, and there is a cunning temper in their bones. Especially this Yang Yi, his reputation is not very good. It is not my intention to provoke, it is a fact!"
At this time, fourteen high-level representatives from various families were invited to sit in the inner court, and a considerable number of the bodyguards accompanying them were also allowed to enter the hall. The number was about fifty. In addition to those subordinates from Tianmen,
The hall that originally seemed empty was already packed with people.
"Mr. Di, before the dinner begins, should we finish the business first?" The scene had just calmed down, and Wang Weitao, the representative of the Wang family, was the first to speak.
Fang Jian, the representative of the Fang family, also said: "Mr. Di, please bring out the Jin Xuan you rescued first. We need to verify it. I am on official business, so I apologize for any offence."
Di Cheng laughed silently and put down the wine glass he was about to raise: "Minister Fang, there is no need to use clichés. There is no need to show your eloquence and shrewdness in front of so many people. Jin Xuan is in my hands, but people... are not
I saved it!"
After being scolded like this, Fang Jian's face darkened: "You didn't save him, did he come back on his own?"
"You are really right. This is his home. After suffering and being tired, of course he will come back here. Just like you, if I slap you twice and cut you into pieces, and you feel pain, come back
Where? You must go home to your mother, right?"
"You! Di Cheng, speak with respect! Pay attention to the superiority of elders and younger ones!"
"Just to give you an example, why is Minister Fang so excited?"
"Ahem!" Xiong Weiyi coughed several times and said, "Minister Fang, I didn't understand what you just said. It's reasonable to pay attention to the elders and the younger. But pay attention to the inferiority... What does it mean? Who is superior? Who is inferior?
"
Everyone present frowned slightly, especially the representatives of each family. They expected that the "capture" of Jin Xuan would not go smoothly, but they did not expect to smell the smell of gunpowder as soon as they sat down. After secretly exchanging glances, Mu Xijie, the representative of the Mu family,
Relieving Fang Jian from the siege: "Wei Yi, Lao Fang didn't mean that. He didn't deliberately target anyone to calm down his anger. Xiao Di, you also understand the reason why we came here, right? Let's finish the business first. If you have any intention in your heart
I’m sorry, when we drink later, why don’t you just give me a few more drinks?”
Di Cheng glanced at Fang Jian, did not care anymore, and ordered: "Sha Lang, go and call Jin Xuan out."
