In addition to these people, I actually saw Liu Qi, the manager of Qixianglou, and the short dark lamp.
"Why are they here too?"
I said something quietly.
Su Mei beside me explained to me softly:
"The old man must have invited someone. Although the Qixianglou is mysterious and mysterious, and I don't know who the boss is behind it. But the old man invited them, so they still have to send people to attend..."
I nodded slightly.
As he was talking, suddenly there was a crowd of people at the door.
When he turned around, he saw Bai Jingting, the sister-in-law of the Zou family, holding the big boss's arm.
Accompanied by Aunt Bai and others, he walked in generously.
Upon seeing the couple, many people stood up and came forward to say hello.
The big boss is the same as before, with a harmless fake smile on his chubby face.
While greeting everyone, he explained to everyone:
"Everyone, I'm sorry. The old man is rushing here from Shuanglong Mountain. There is a traffic jam on the national highway, so we may have to be late. Let's chat first. When the old man Qi and our old man arrive, we will start..."
As he said that, the big boss clasped his fists to express his apology.
Su Mei stood aside and explained to me in a low voice:
"Every year at the banquet, the old man of the Qi family and Mr. Zou will appear last. When they arrive, it means the banquet has begun..."
I nodded and looked at the crowd around me.
I'm a little strange, why haven't I seen the second boss?
Just as I was thinking about it, there was another commotion in the direction of the door.
I saw Feng Kun and several staff members standing on both sides of the door.
These people bent down at the same time, making a gesture of invitation.
Then, the fair and thin second boss walked in swaggering with four gangsters and a group of people.
It must be said that the second boss Zou Tiancheng is much more assertive than the first boss Zou Tiancheng.
Everyone greeted him, but he just nodded slightly.
It's a complete look, with eyes higher than the top of the head, aloof.
Among the group of people following him, there are a few that I am quite familiar with.
One is the dwarf Beitong who lost to me before.
There are also two fat and thin men who go to the Tianxiang Tower for a walk.
But among this group of people, there is one person who stands out the most.
He is in his fifties, tall, but extremely skinny.
Her hair is half black and half white, with a hooked nose and copper bell eyes.
The most noticeable thing was the very high temperature in the banquet hall.
But on his hands, he was wearing a pair of white cotton gloves.
Could it be that this person is Six Finger Ghost Hand’s senior brother, Qiankun Wind Chaser?
As I was watching, I saw the second boss walking straight to the stage.
Some festive videos were playing on the big screen behind him.
Seeing him come on stage, the staff immediately turned off the music.
Picking up the microphone, the second boss looked around.
The banquet hall was a little noisy at first, but now it immediately fell into silence.
The second boss seemed to be very satisfied with the effect. He raised his orchid fingers and spoke into the microphone in a sharp voice:
"I'm here to wish you all a happy New Year. Our old man may have to arrive later. Next, let's follow the practice of previous years. Let's play some small games first..."
As soon as the words fell.
I saw Feng Kun holding a red cardboard box and walking to the second boss.
The second boss pointed at the cardboard box and introduced:
"The game is very simple, it's just a lottery. The prizes include cash, mobile phones, and some other prizes. I won't go into them one by one. Our winning rate is absolutely high. Not everyone wins, but it's almost the same. If you
If you don’t win, the note will ask you to perform a show, or have a glass of wine, answer a question, etc. Let me say it first, if you don’t win, you must follow the requirements on the note.
.If you don’t do it, then you are willing to gamble and refuse to admit defeat. Be careful, I will punish you when the time comes. Do you have any opinions?"
"No objection!"
Everyone in the audience shouted loudly.
I didn’t expect that the Landao Party would play such a boring game. I turned around and asked Su Mei:
"Is this session held every year?"
"There is a lottery every year, just to create a festive atmosphere. But it was hosted by the staff before, but I didn't expect the second boss to host it himself this year..."
I nodded slightly and thought to myself.
Isn’t this second boss up to another trick?
While we were talking, Feng Kun and Dao Scarwei had already taken the cardboard boxes and started walking to each table.
The guest took out a piece of paper and handed it to Dao Scarwei.
Dao Scarwei read out loud again, whether the guest won or not.
But what the second boss said is indeed true.
The winning rate is very high. In some cases, there are eight people at a table, and almost everyone wins.
With cheers and applause from the winners.
Dao Scarwei and Feng Kun had already reached the table where Liu Qi, the manager of Qixianglou, sat.
Feng Kun moved the carton forward, looked at Liu Qi, and said with a smile:
"Manager Liu, you can draw the lottery first!"
Liu Qi smiled and nodded, casually took out a piece of paper and handed it to Dao Scarwei.
Dao Scarwei took the note and held it in his hand.
After saying a few insignificant words, he slowly opened the note.
When he moved, I felt something was wrong.
Before I could figure out what was wrong, I heard Scar said loudly:
"Manager Liu, I'm sorry, you didn't win. You need to follow the requirements above..."
Liu Qi didn't take it seriously and asked with a smile:
"What request?"
"Have a glass of wine!"
"no problem!"
Liu Qi picked up the wine glass, poured a glass of beer, and drank it in one gulp.
He also deliberately gestured his empty cup towards everyone.
Then, he would sit down.
But as soon as he moved, Scar Wei immediately said:
"Wait a moment, Manager Liu. There is a second request here..."
"What?"
"Answer a question!"
As soon as Dao Scarwei finished speaking, Liu Qi's face gradually became solemn.
It was obvious that he didn't feel right either.
It seems that I have walked into the trap designed by the second boss.
"The question is very simple. Please tell everyone loudly now, who is the boss of Qixianglou?"
The hall, which had been lively just now, immediately fell into silence.
No one expected that the second boss would choose to launch an attack on Qixianglou on New Year’s Eve.
Liu Qidi was silent for a while, and then he said slowly:
"Everyone, there is the second boss. I, Liu Qi, am just a part-time worker. I hope you won't make it difficult for me. Regarding who the boss of Qixianglou is, I have two points to make. First, it involves business privacy, so I can't tell you. Second.
Second, no matter who the boss is, it will not affect our cooperation with everyone here at Qixianglou. If we did not do well in Qixianglou in the past year, you can tell the truth. I, Liu Qi, guarantee that,
We at Qixianglou will definitely accept everyone’s opinions and actively make corrections!”
Liu Qi is very smart, he has realized it now.
This banquet is a Hongmen Banquet.
He must show weakness, otherwise it will be difficult to end today.
