Volume 2: The Age of Monks Chapter 56: The Reception Banquet
After understanding this, Wang Xiao said calmly: "No wonder this kid came to bite me like a mad dog. It turned out that I robbed the Zhang family and Li family of food."
After Wang Xiao finished speaking, he gave Hu Hanwen a meaningful look. Hu Hanwen immediately understood that Wang Xiao was probably blaming himself for not telling him about this in advance.
So, Hu Hanwen quickly added: "Brother Wang, it's not that we don't want to say it, but that we are afraid of saying it. You are afraid of the power of the Zhang family and the Li family and rejected our Hu family. After all, our Hu family has no other choice.
"
Wang Xiao smiled noncommittally and said lightly: "Although the Li family and the Zhang family are extremely powerful, this is the age of monks in the last days, not the previous harmonious era where money was supreme. I have nothing to fear from the Zhang family and the Li family. In my eyes,
It’s just a chicken and a ditch. We’ll talk about your Hu family’s affairs later, so write them down first.”
"Hahaha" a laugh suddenly came from the side: "What a native chicken Wagou, it's true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!"
Wang Xiao looked back and saw a young man looking at him playfully, as if a senior man in society was looking at the workplace jokes of a young man who had just entered society.
"Who is this?" Wang Xiao looked at Hu Hanwen and asked him with his eyes. Hu Hanwen shook his head and said he didn't know.
Wang Xiao thought for a while, then reached out and slapped the young man to the ground. A bright red palm print appeared on his face, and he looked at Wang Xiao in confusion.
Although he couldn't figure out why Wang Xiao suddenly slapped him in the face, the huge sense of humiliation that came over him instantly drove the young man crazy. With strong anger, he got up angrily and punched Wang Xiao in the face.
Wang Xiao smiled faintly, reached out and grabbed the young man's fist, and with force on his wrist, he directly folded the young man's arm down, making the young man slowly kneel in front of him.
Looking at the angry young man, Wang Xiao snapped his arm, then slapped him several times, making the young man's face fat.
In the young man's frightened eyes, Wang Xiao said calmly: "I don't like two things in my life. One is that someone shows off in front of me, and the other is that I can't have all the beauties in the world. You are lucky to have some of them."
"
The military police not far away saw Wang Xiao beating someone again, and suddenly felt a headache. They knew that they could not afford to offend this Guanggao City brand. The hope in the eyes of the current high-level officials was that they would be the proud giants of the future, but they were burdened with responsibilities.
Don't come forward and say it.
Walking up to Wang Xiao, the captain of the military police on duty said helplessly to Wang Xiao: "Wang Tianjiao, this is a banquet hosted by the mayor. They will be coming out later, please be careful."
Wang Xiao nodded and did not embarrass the military police on duty. He let the young man go and went back to his seat to continue eating the food. After this incident, everyone in the banquet hall knew that Wang Xiao was a bad-tempered master.
He would not speak even if he made a move, so he kept away from Wang Xiao one by one, for fear of making Wang Xiao unhappy and getting beaten up by Fatty.
Hu Hanwen, who sat down with Wang Xiao, was also frightened by Wang Xiao's irritability. He felt that Wang Xiao was not a person who played by common sense, and quite ignored some rules, but he could always disintegrate things in an instant and let everyone know.
Put yourself in an advantageous position.
Seeing Hu Hanwen looking at him, Wang Xiao said calmly: "Who is that pawn sent by? I guess it should be the Li family or the Zhang family."
Hu Hanwen nodded and said in a deep voice: "It should be that there are always some people who want to overestimate their own capabilities and try to curry favor with the Zhang family and the Li family. This world has been like this since before the apocalypse, and it will be even more serious after the apocalypse."
"Yes." Wang Xiao chuckled lightly: "If Qin Hui was still alive and had the power he had back then, would anyone dare to slap Qin Hui now? I don't think flattering Qin Hui is already an upright and upright gentleman!"
Suddenly, there was a burst of noise from the direction of the banquet podium. The two of them looked around and saw the dignitaries of Guanggao City walking into the banquet hall and being warmly welcomed by everyone.
Headed by the mayor of Guanggao City and the military colonel, followed by Director Zhang of the Yanhuang Division and other department heads, as well as some wealthy people from society, all welcomed the invigilators sent by the imperial capital to Guanggao City this time.
.
The mayor and the university raised their glasses and said loudly: "Let us warmly welcome the proctor Liu Xiangyun to our Guanggao City, and congratulate our candidates in Guanggao City for their excellent results and admission to Shanhe University."
Everyone in the crowd raised their wine glasses high to greet the invigilator and wish the candidates in this city good exam results. Amid the lively noise, the banquet began.
The mayor and the university each spoke a few words briefly, and then gave the podium to the proctor Liu Xiangyun, asking him to deliver a speech and say a few words to the crowd.
This is the traditional custom of the Dragon Kingdom, and it is the highest courtesy to welcome a person. Only speaking to all living beings can reflect your noble status. Liu Xiangyun, the invigilator, could not shirk it, so he had to take the microphone.
"Friends and colleagues in Guanggao City," Liu Xiangyun's sonorous and powerful words rang out: "I am very happy to attend this banquet. At a time when the country is in crisis, we must guard the country and select outstanding talents. Only outstanding talents.
Only in the future can we lead the country out of the apocalypse and lead people towards stability and prosperity."
"This is a responsibility entrusted to us by the country and a heavy burden placed on us by the times, but we must have the confidence to shoulder the responsibility and burden, work hard to do our part, do a good job in this national unified examination, and at the same time let Guanggao City
The candidates showed their true strength, thank you all!"
As Liu Xiangyun finished his speech, the mayor and the senior colonel took the lead in applauding, and everyone also applauded enthusiastically. In a harmonious atmosphere, everyone began to chat and eat and drink.
After eating and drinking enough, Wang Xiao planned to go home and sleep, so he got up to look for Lin Wanxian and prepared to say hello to her. However, he looked around and did not see Lin Wanxian, but was blocked by a young man in a suit.
Seeing Wang Xiao looking at him doubtfully, the young man in a suit smiled and said, "Wang Xiao, I am Peng Fu, the mayor's secretary. The mayor asked me to call you over."
"Call me over?" Wang Xiao asked doubtfully, "What's the matter?"
"It's a good thing, let's go!" Peng Fu smiled and led Wang Xiao towards the mayor's location.
Following Peng Fu to a circle of powerful people in Guanggao City, Wang Xiao stood aside calmly, looking at the powerful people chatting. Peng Fu whispered something next to the mayor, and the mayor turned to look at Wang Xiao.
"Hahaha" laughed a few times. The mayor pulled Wang Xiao and said to everyone: "This is our number one genius in Guanggao City, a young hero who has entered the top 20,000 in the country. Examiner Liu, can our candidate
I have a good ranking to enter Shanhe University."
Liu Xiangyun looked at Wang Xiao with a smile and said with a kind smile: "It's natural. Mr. Wang has very strong practical ability and is also very skilled in Chinese martial arts. If his understanding is also good, I think he will definitely be able to rank very high."
Entered Shanhe University."
In the crowd on the periphery of the powerful circle, everyone looked at Wang Xiao with envy as he was being praised by the big bosses, wishing they could take his place.
Especially Zhang Feng and Li Hong, who were treating their injuries not far away, looked at Wang Xiao angrily and hatefully, with deep hatred in their eyes. They wanted to beat Wang Xiao to death immediately and replace them themselves.
Become the proud son held in the hands of many big bosses.
The senior colonel also praised Wang Xiao loudly, which made the Li family and Zhang family full of hatred and anger towards Wang Xiao. However, due to the presence of the big bosses, the heads of the Li family and Zhang family could only smile and agree.
The head of the Li family agreed. Then he changed his tone and said lightly to himself: "Alas! Although my grandson can also go to Shanhe University with seventh-level qualifications, he probably won't get a good ranking!"
The head of the Zhang family hurriedly spoke out to comfort him: "My grandson also has seventh-level qualifications. It doesn't make much difference if he can go to Shanhe University. His temporary combat effectiveness doesn't mean anything. After all, national martial arts are just skills. What we cultivated in the monk era is righteousness."
Energy, good cultivation qualifications are the way to go. Only with sufficient resources can you become stronger faster. Some poor people can only practice hard. Without resources, over time, Bi will be lost to everyone, no matter how good the qualifications are, they will not be able to achieve success.
What material."
"That's right, that's right." The head of the Li family smiled and said, "Brother Zhang is right. If you want to stand up with qualifications, it's just a dream. To have a good job is already a generous society."
The colonel and the mayor frowned as they looked at the heads of the Li family and the Zhang family singing the double act. They praised Wang Xiao in order to suppress the power of the Zhang family and the Li family, so as to prevent the Zhang family and the Li family's Qilin children from growing up in the future.
After that, Guanggao City will become the domain of the Zhang family and the Li family. There is a high probability that the two of them will flee in embarrassment and be transferred out of Guanggao City. At that time, the entire Guanggao City will only be able to look at the faces of the Zhang family and the Li family.
, the people in Guanggao City only know the Zhang family and the Li family, but do not know the government and military.
At present, many middle- and lower-level officials in Guanggao City are basically intertwined with the forces of the Zhang family and the Li family. It is extremely difficult to suppress the Zhang family and the Li family.
Listening to the ridicule of the two heads of the Zhang family and the Li family, Wang Xiao understood that the resources given to him by the government were limited, and what the two heads of the family said was indeed right, but he was the one with the trump card, so why should he be afraid of these cowards.
With a sassy smile, Wang Xiao said disdainfully: "I'm afraid the two family heads don't know. Although I am from a humble background, I have conquered the Hu family and still have some resources. I won't bother you two old immortals to worry about it, so as not to die."
Already."
When the two family heads heard this, they immediately became furious and reprimanded angrily: "You are a frog in the well. The little Hu family is nothing. You can crush it to death with one finger. Children, please don't be arrogant."
"Hahaha" Wang Xiao laughed loudly and said: "When I first entered the banquet hall, someone told me the same thing. At this time, he was wearing a bandage and licking his wounds."
Everyone followed the direction pointed by Wang Xiao and saw the Zhang family and Li family Qilinzi lying on the sofa with bandages, being taken care of by the surrounding followers.
The heads of the Li family and the Zhang family were even more furious when they saw this. They stared at Wang Xiao angrily and said coldly, "You should be grateful to the society ruled by law, otherwise... hum!"
"Hahaha..." Wang Xiao looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, looked coldly at the heads of the Zhang family and the Li family, and roared angrily: "A society ruled by law? What is a society ruled by law? As far as private rights are concerned, everything that is not prohibited is
Citizens’ rights; for public power, anything that is not authorized is prohibited.”
Wang Xiao's words were deafening, and everyone present was deeply shocked. They did not expect that Wang Xiao could tell such a simple and concise truth, which requires extremely high knowledge.
The heads of the Li family and the Wang family couldn't help but repeat Wang Xiao's words in a low voice. They felt that it was absolutely right, but it was not in the interests of powerful people like them.
Although they wanted to refute, they could not find a reason, at least not on the surface. So the two family heads took a deep look at Wang Xiao, turned around and left the banquet hall with anger and shock.
