After Liu Jiawei's matter was settled, the drizzle outside had turned into a curtain of water and beads, and the rain became heavier and heavier.
Zhang Beichen originally wanted to stay in my boxing ring and watch a few boxing matches, and asked me to wait until the rain subsided before leaving. But when I asked who would fight whom in the next few matches, I immediately lost interest. They were all of the same standard.
Not a tall player.
So I didn’t stay in the boxing ring any longer and went back to the company directly.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and when I returned to Yizhong Street, the power was out in this area, and our company was no exception. Later, when I asked about it, I found out that it seemed that it was damaged due to heavy rain and strong wind.
A line somewhere nearby caused a regional power outage.
It was a cloudy day, heavy rain, and there was no electricity, so the whole office was very dark. When I thought about it, I only had two hours left until I got off work, so I asked Gu Qingfeng to tell the company's employees that they would get off work early today. Anyway, there was no electricity. Everyone was in the company.
Staying here is just for chatting now. It's better to be a good person and let those who want to go home go back early.
At this time, the power supply of No. 1 Middle School should have been cut off, so I sent a text message to Lu Xiaoyu and asked her if the school was still in session. Lu Xiaoyu soon called back.
"Hey, Xiaoyu, you don't have classes, can you still call me?" I asked her after answering the phone.
Lu Xiaoyu said "hmm" and said, "We can't go. It's too dark and there's a power outage. It's hard to read the words in the book. The teacher lets us move around freely in the classroom."
I just smiled and said, "That's just right. I'll pick you up later. Let's go back early today. Our company also has a power outage, so I gave them a day off."
After saying that, I hung up the phone, went downstairs to find an umbrella, and then went to pick up Lu Xiaoyu alone. The distance from our company to No. 1 Middle School was only a few hundred meters, and it was raining so heavily outside now.
So even if I go out alone, there should be no danger.
I only picked up Lu Xiaoyu. As for Luo Jingjing, I told her that when school was over, I would arrange for the thugs to pick her up again.
Although Luo Jingjing was a little unhappy when I said this, she didn't say anything.
Of course, when I picked up Lu Xiaoyu, I had to chat with Li Liang, Ruan Dongli, and Chu Yao for a while.
When we got home, I discovered that my parents came back very early today and were discussing something with Lu Xiaoyu’s parents in the living room. When we came back, my mother asked Lu Xiaoyu and I to sit down on the sofa.
, and then said: "Xiao Feng, you have come back just in time. I am discussing with your Uncle Lu about the engagement ceremony between you and Xiao Yu. We want to choose the venue at the Palace Hotel. What do you think?"
When it came to the engagement ceremony, I naturally said happily: "Mom, just make arrangements for everything. I will listen to you."
My mother asked Lu Xiaoyu again if she had any objections. Lu Xiaoyu was a little shy, but still quickly answered: "Like Yi Feng, I will listen to your arrangements."
Only then did I realize that my engagement ceremony was only a little over a week away.
My mother reminded me next to me: "Xiao Feng, since the time and place are already there, then you can inform your friends over there. Although it is just an engagement ceremony, you may get more blessings. After all,
It’s still a good thing.”
I also nodded to the side, and I paid some attention to it. I'd better leave these things to Gu Qingfeng. He is more careful than me, so there should be no mistakes.
We chatted for a while, and then my mother and Lu Xiaoyu’s mother went to prepare dinner.
The thugs also went to Yizhong Street to pick up Luo Jingjing, Zhang Jingwan and Su Wei.
During dinner, we talked about my engagement with Lu Xiaoyu.
Hearing that our location had been chosen, everyone gave us their blessings, including Luo Jingjing's blessings, but her face looked weird when she wished Lu Xiaoyu and me.
Alas, as expected, did we still hurt her once?
Halfway through the meal, Luo Jingjing said that she was full and went back to her room to rest. Almost all of us present could see what was going on.
As soon as Luo Jingjing left the house, my junior niece Su Wei asked me: "Uncle, does Luo Jingjing like you too? I heard what Sister Jingwan told me."
"You unlucky kid, you talk about everything outside. If you don't keep your mouth shut, I'll send you to the front door." Zhang Jingwan rolled her eyes at Su Wei and said.
And I rolled my eyes at Zhang Jingwan and said, "You too, you keep talking about everything outside. If you dare to gossip about me again, I will reduce your salary."
Zhang Jingwan said indifferently: "Little boss, if you want to increase my salary, my workload will also be reduced accordingly. You have to think about it, but there are a large number of documents waving at you."
I knew I couldn't speak to Zhang Jingwan, so I changed the subject and said, "Okay, let's continue eating."
As soon as I finished speaking, Lu Zhanshan interrupted: "Xiaofeng, I think there are some things that just can't be solved by just avoiding talking about them. You and our Xiaoyu are about to get engaged, and some things are still happening before the engagement.
Let’s solve it.”
Lu Zhanshan is my future father-in-law. When he spoke, I didn’t have much to say, so I just nodded and said, “Yeah.”
The good atmosphere was ruined in an instant.
Just when I was about to change the topic to adjust the atmosphere, Zhang Jingwan said again: "Little boss, I have some ideas about your engagement ceremony. I wonder if you can refer to it."
Zhang Jingwan's ability to do things is obvious to all. If she can help me make suggestions, that would be good, so I let Zhang Jingwan speak directly.
Zhang Jingwan said directly: "Little boss, I think your engagement ceremony is an opportunity for us to some extent."
"Huh? What do you mean? What's the opportunity?" I didn't understand what Zhang Jingwan said.
Zhang Jingwan put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hands, and then continued: "Little boss, first of all, we have already figured out the matter of our foundation. The procedures will be completed by the end of the month at most, so we might as well take advantage of your engagement ceremony to get this done.
Let's announce the matter publicly. It just so happens that the program on the day of the ceremony is also performed by children from a school for disabled people. Firstly, it can make your engagement ceremony unique. Secondly, it can just show us the "charitable" side of the little boss.
, it can win us a lot of social status."
I feel that the engagement ceremony between Lu Xiaoyu and I should belong to Lu Xiaoyu and I, and should not be mixed with any purpose, so I have to refuse.
But at this moment, Lu Xiaoyu spoke first: "Yifeng, I think what Sister Jingwan said is very reasonable. In this way, our engagement ceremony can be considered a very meaningful event, and it can help so much needed help."
people!"
Well, I was a little defeated by Lu Xiaoyu's kindness.
Zhang Jingwan smiled and praised Lu Xiaoyu for being reasonable.
After dinner, we talked for a while and then went back to our rooms to sleep. Before going to bed, I called Lu Qingfeng and explained what we discussed during dinner that night.
After I finished speaking, Gu Qingfeng also very much agreed with Zhang Jingwan's proposal and said: "Crazy brother, I think Sister Jingwan is right. Your engagement ceremony is indeed an opportunity for us. By then, many people from the Black and White Ways will come.
We can take advantage of the opportunity. As for the neutral forces in the underworld, if they come, it means they have already stood on our side, or they will continue to remain neutral. But if they don't come, it means they are not on our side. In the future
When we started the war with Tong Jiuchao, these people were also dealt with."
It seems that my plan to give Lu Xiaoyu a pure and beautiful engagement ceremony is completely ruined.
Gu Qingfeng continued: "Brother Crazy, I think your engagement ceremony is an excellent opportunity for us to establish a relationship with the Baidao in one fell swoop. We also take this opportunity to let all the underworld forces in Xingzhou elect an overlord.
This overlord is you, crazy brother!"
Speaking later, Gu Qingfeng was also a little excited and spoke a little faster: "Crazy brother, when the time comes, you use your identity as an overlord to re-establish the order of the Xingzhou underworld, then the entire Xingzhou underworld will belong to our Hongxiang Society.
.”
Creating order? To put it simply, it is probably "those who obey will prosper, and those who go against will perish." There will inevitably be some killings, but since I plan to be the overlord of Xingzhou, there are some things I must do.
Just like the big purge in the school, if I don't come to Xingzhou again, then there will definitely be people on the road who stand up against me from time to time.
Of course, in the so-called Great Purge, it seems that my biggest obstacle at present is undoubtedly Tong Jiuchao.
So I asked Gu Qingfeng: "Qingfeng, should we invite Tong Jiuchao to this engagement ceremony?"
Gu Qingfeng hesitated for a moment and then said: "Brother Crazy, I think we should invite him, but if I invite him over, I'm afraid there will be trouble and it will disturb your engagement ceremony."
This is also what I'm worried about. Last time I gave Tong Jiuchao a slap in the face, which made him very embarrassed. If he wants to take revenge on me, then my engagement ceremony is definitely an excellent time.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel cold. Could it be that Tong Jiuchao has been silent for so many days, just waiting for this opportunity, and he wants to regain all his face at once?
Damn, things are getting bigger and bigger the more I think about it.
I thought for a moment and said: "Qingfeng, inform Tong Jiuchao that if he wants to ruin my engagement ceremony, even if I don't invite him, he will find a way to do it. Besides, even if I invite him, he won't necessarily
When the meeting comes, we might as well behave more generously, because outsiders in the province will say we are stingy."
Gu Qingfeng said "hmm", and I continued: "Also Qingfeng, let King and Xiaodao be smarter recently, I'm afraid Xingzhou is going to change again."
…
After talking to Gu Qingfeng for a while, I told him everything about notifying the guests, and then I hung up the phone.
As soon as I hung up the phone with Gu Qingfeng, my phone rang with a text message from Luo Jingjing.
"Crazy brother, are you really going to get engaged to Xiaoyu?" Luo Jingjing asked.
I would tell her directly: "Yes, didn't you already know that?"
After a while, Luo Jingjing sent a message: "Bless you."
I replied: "Thank you!"
After that, Luo Jingjing stopped sending me messages, and I threw my phone aside and went to sleep.
