"Third uncle Wang Chonggui is also here. He is the richest man in Hexiang City. In the past, all the bad guys and the blue ones left, but now they are clean..."
With that said, Su Mei pointed to a tall and thin old man in the crowd and said to me.
"Xiao Xian said that with the second and third uncles here, maybe Zou Tiansheng wouldn't be so arrogant..."
Zou Xiaoxian told me this.
But I just want to say that this idea is very naive.
Nothing changed while Mr. Zou was alive.
What's more, the old man is no longer here.
Who would want to care about these bad things about your Zou family?
And the reason why they can come to participate in this launching ceremony.
It's just for the living people to see, and I want to leave a reputation for righteousness.
Just as he was watching, Zou Xiaoxian had already walked over.
As soon as she reached us, she lowered her voice and whispered:
"Why are there so many guests today? Many of them were not informed by me at all..."
In fact, I was also surprised just now. Why did Zou Xiaoxian notify so many people?
Any underground venue is never opened with much fanfare.
After all, this is a shady business.
So who called these people?
"Then what should we do? Can't we invite all these people on board?"
Su Mei asked Zou Xiaoxian.
Zou Xiaoxian thought for a moment and then said:
"Su Mei, please book a few tables at Wangjiang Tower later. No matter what, we are guests. After the launching ceremony, we will invite everyone to have a meal first. After the meal is over, we will invite the important guests on board...
"
Su Mei agreed.
I took out my phone and started making arrangements.
Just as he was talking, another motorcade slowly drove by.
As soon as she saw the license plate, Zou Xiaoxian immediately whispered:
"Why are the people from the Qi family here too? I didn't even notify them..."
I do know this.
Regardless of whether Zou Xiaoxantong notifies him or not, everyone from the Qi family will arrive today.
As soon as the motorcade stopped, they saw Qi Chengqiao and Qi Lan.
Surrounded by everyone, he walked towards us.
The visitor was a guest, so we greeted him immediately.
As soon as he arrived, Qi Chengqiao immediately said to Zou Xiaoxian and me:
"Congratulations to Miss Zou, the gambling boat is open today, our Landao in Habei has become lively again..."
Qi Chengqiao speaks politely.
Zou Xiaoxian said a few polite words.
Then, Qi Chengqiao raised his hand.
A follower behind him walked up with a tray.
On the tray, there is a gift.
It's just that this gift is covered with red cloth.
"Miss Zou, today is your big day, and Chengqiao didn't know what to give you. I wanted to get some gift money, but it felt a bit tacky. So I specially invited someone to customize a gift for you. I don't know,
Do you like..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Chengqiao slowly opened the red cloth.
Underneath the red cloth, there was actually a model of a cruise ship made of pure gold.
"Miss Zou, I wish you all the best in gambling and make money every day!"
Qi Chengqiao's grand gesture immediately attracted many people to come forward and watch.
Qi Lan, on the other hand, remained silent.
He just looked at me secretly with a gentle smile on his face from time to time.
Zou Xiaoxian thanked her repeatedly and said to her siblings:
"You two, don't leave for a while. We are at Wangjiang Tower and have prepared wine and vegetarian dishes. After dinner, everyone will get on the boat and have a lot of fun together..."
Qi Chengqiao agreed.
Just as he was talking, a follower walked up to Zou Xiaoxian.
He said to her respectfully:
"Mr. Zou, the captain of the boat said that the auspicious time is coming. I want you to prepare for the launching ceremony..."
Zou Xiaoxian nodded. Then she looked back at me and said:
"Xiao Liuye, you will join me in the launching ceremony later!"
Without even thinking about it, I shook my head and said:
"Mr. Zou, I'm just a part-time worker. It's not appropriate to participate in this kind of ceremony at this time!"
Zou Xiaoxian obviously didn't expect that I would reject her.
She looked at me blankly and said nothing more. She turned around and walked towards the pier.
I can feel that Zou Xiaoxian is a little dissatisfied.
But there is no way, I can't be on this boat and get too involved with her.
Otherwise, one day when the ship sinks, I will also sink into the river.
The preparations for the launching ceremony are about to be completed.
Everyone stood at the back, and Zou Xiaoxian stood at the front.
Right in front of her are various props needed for the ceremony.
The head of the boat was counting the time, making a fist with his right hand and starting to count down.
"Ten, nine, eight..."
The boat's head just counted down the number.
Suddenly, a man's voice was heard from behind the crowd:
"Wait a moment!"
Everyone couldn't help but turn around.
I saw a group of dark people on the shore, walking towards the pier.
The leaders were Zou Tiansheng, the boss of the Zou family, and his wife Bai Jingting.
Next to them, there was the second boss Zou Tiancheng, who was sitting in a wheelchair and being pushed.
I haven't seen him for many days. At this time, the second boss's face was pale and bloodless.
The domineering temperament of the past has long disappeared.
Instead, there was dullness and caution.
We all know that the big boss will definitely come today.
But what everyone didn't expect was that he actually squeezed the time and came in time for the launching ceremony.
It was obvious that he just didn't want this ceremony to succeed.
Zou Tiansheng was the same as before, as soon as he arrived.
He first greeted Li Laizi, Wang Fugui and others politely.
Then, he exchanged a few words with Qi Chengqiao.
After he finished his courtesy, he looked at Zou Xiaoxian and said with an angry smile:
"Xiaoxian, why didn't you tell your eldest brother and second brother that it's your big day to launch the boat? With so many distinguished guests watching, it seems that our Zou family is not united. My sister's boat was launched, and my brother didn't even come to congratulate..."
As he spoke, he pointed at Zou Xiaoxian with his finger.
"On this point, eldest brother must criticize you!"
Zou Tiansheng has good methods, and his evildoers will complain first.
Zou Xiaoxian, who is also mute, eats Coptis chinensis and cannot express the pain.
With so many people watching, Zou Xiaoxian couldn't refute.
She had no choice but to bite the bullet, smile awkwardly, and said:
"Brother, I was worried that I didn't wait for you because you were busy. I did something wrong..."
"Okay, how can eldest brother care about you? Our family doesn't speak the same language. Look, eldest brother specially gave you a big gift today..."
As he said that, Zou Tiansheng raised his hand.
Then, I saw four followers walking over carrying an object.
Like the gift from Qi Chengqiao, it was also covered with red cloth.
