When night falls, North Point begins to turn into a shining pearl.
Rechi Nightclub began to sing and laugh, and the Bobo Cabaret, which opened today across the street, also began to welcome guests.
At the entrance of Lichi Nightclub, an imposing middle-aged ghost man was dressed like the "Godfather", with a slicked back hair, a black suit, a white shirt, a black tie around his neck, and a white scarf.
One hand was in his trouser pocket, the other hand held a thick cigar, and he squinted at the Bobo Cabaret opposite.
Standing next to him were three subordinates in neat suits, standing ready at the moment, waiting for the ghost man to give orders.
"How long do you think this dance hall can be open?" Gui Lao said in proficient Cantonese.
"Reporting to Mr. Wen, it looks like it can last for a while."
"Really? The ballroom is opened opposite our Lichi. I really don't know if this third young master of the Xu family is out of his mind. Does he look down on me, Wen Zedun, or does he look down on the Li family behind me?" Gui Lao held a cigar between his lips.
He puffed out a puff of smoke and showed a trace of disdain in his eyes.
"I heard that the third young master of the Xu family is a dandy. I'm afraid I don't know the pros and cons of this."
"Not sure? Then I will take his father's place and teach him how to be a good person!" Wen Zeton sneered, holding a cigar and pointing at the Bobo Dance Hall, "Just wait and see, I will give him a gift when it opens.
What a great gift!”
…
The entrance of Bobo Cabaret.
Because it was the first time the dance hall had opened, Xu Shixun invited basically all his relatives and friends, as well as acquaintances he had dealt with in the mall.
As the second owner of the ballroom, Shi Zhijian had to stand with Xu Shixun to welcome the guests.
"Hello, Brother Fang has arrived, and the flowers are shining brightly!"
"Hello, we would be honored if Congressman Lu could come!"
Xu Shixun kept saying polite words, and Shi Zhijian was tired for him.
Among these well-dressed guests, Shi Zhijian actually knew a few, such as Williams, the HR manager of HSBC Bank, Zhang Jiuding, the Hong Kong boss Hong Yihai, and even Shi Zhijian's nemesis, Dai Fengni, the female boss of Yongkang Food Company.
When he saw Dai Fengni, Shi Zhijian was obviously stunned.
Xu Shixun whispered beside him: "There is no way, her company also supplies my drinks!"
Dai Fengni seemed not to have expected that Shi Zhijian would appear here, with a haughty attitude and a cold smile: "I heard that Boss Shi and the Third Young Master have a good relationship, but I didn't expect to see them here!"
Xu Shixun knew that she and Shi Zhijian were not on the same page, so he came to smooth things over: "Miss Dai, give me some face first! Ajian is my friend, and my ballroom is opening tonight, so everyone is calm!"
"Okay, give Third Young Master face! Masters Su and A Biao, let's go in!" After Dai Fengni said that, she rolled her eyes at Shi Zhijian and entered the ballroom with her masters Su and Chen Biao.
After Dai Fengni and others entered, Xu Shixun pulled Shi Zhijian and whispered: "Hey, the ballroom is opening tonight, for good luck, you must not start a fight with that crazy woman!"
"Don't worry, I'm not that kind of heartless person! Besides, good men don't fight with women. Even if they do, they'll fight in bed!"
Xu Shixun laughed: "You can't handle Dai Fengni! Although she is beautiful and has a natural scent that confuses all living beings, she doesn't like boys!"
Shi Zhijian shrugged: "I was just talking casually."
Xu Shixun patted him on the shoulder: "It's best this way, don't think too much!"
Shi Zhijian asked curiously: "But I heard there is something in your words, Third Young Master. Have you chased this guy named Dai before?"
Xu Shixun also did not hide anything: "Everyone likes beauties, not to mention the Dai family is a big and prestigious family in Hong Kong. Unfortunately, most of the people who pursue Dai Fengni are teased by her. I am better, but I was let off by her on my birthday. I'm so stupid."
The cold wind blew all night on the Peak of Victoria Peak.”
Shi Zhijian smiled and praised: "I didn't expect that you, Third Young Master, are also a lover!"
"Qing, you are here to receive guests!"
After all, Xu Shixun is the third young master of the Xu family, and many prominent figures in Hong Kong came to support him. Even those who didn't have time to come, they also sent flower baskets, kumquats, and money trees.
Among them, Xu Shixun's eldest brother Xu Shijian asked Zeng Wenju to send the largest flower basket, which read: "Congratulations to the third brother on the opening of the dance hall! Make great progress and make money every day!"
Regardless of whether this congratulation is true or not, it completely shows the care and concern of a big brother for his little brother.
In addition, Xu Shixun's second brother Xu Shiwen also sent a congratulatory gift, but it was a new motorcycle.
Such an affordable gift was an eye-opener for everyone. Only Xu Shixun couldn't laugh or cry and said to Shi Zhijian: "My second brother is acting like a monster again. Last time I celebrated my birthday, he stuffed a foreign girl into my room without any clothes on."
I was so scared that I didn’t dare go home for three days!”
From the words, Shi Zhijian could tell that Xu Sanshao and his second brother seemed to have a good relationship, at least they seemed to be in tune with each other.
In addition to Xu's family, Inspector General Hua Lei Luo, Senior Inspector Yan Xiong and others whom Shi Zhijian knew also sent congratulatory gifts.
Lei Luo was busy with an important position now, so he didn't come in person. Instead, he asked Detective Yan Xiong to help bring the congratulatory gift, but it was a flower basket.
It's just that the flowers on the flower basket are all roses folded with a thousand Hong Kong dollars. The basket contains at least 50,000 Hong Kong dollars!
Yan Xiong was also ingenious and gave a money tree. The money tree was hung with gold and copper coins, all made of 99 pure gold. It looked like it was worth at least 30,000 yuan.
Yan Xiong delivered the gift on behalf of Lei Luo, which shows that the relationship between him and Lei Luo has entered the "honeymoon period" from "enemies".
The biggest contributor to this is undoubtedly Shi Zhijian.
So after Yan Xiong greeted Xu Shixun, he took the initiative to greet Shi Zhijian.
"Ajian, I didn't expect to see you here tonight!"
"Yeah, Brother Luo didn't come?"
"He was too busy and asked me to bring him a gift!"
"In that case, why not go in and sit down first!"
Shi Zhijian was too lazy to continue standing at the door with Xu Shixun to receive the guests, so he pulled Detective Yan Xiong towards the ballroom on an excuse.
Xu Shixun turned around and saw Shi Zhijian, and said: "I'm lazy again! Hey, it's really difficult for me to be the boss!"
…
The interior of the ballroom is even more elegant than the outside.
The huge crystal chandelier, the illuminated marble floor, the bar tables and chairs specially customized from abroad, and the carefully built round stage all give people a refreshing, luxurious and luxurious feeling.
Looking at the guests, they are clearly divided. Those from the business community gather together, and those from the political community gather together. Those from social groups like Hong Yihai and Zhang Jiuding feel very lonely.
Zhang Jiuding seemed helpless. He didn't want to attend this kind of opening ceremony at first, but the Xu family was their big water pipe in Hongyihai. In the past, he was mostly taken care of by the old man of the Xu family, and it was unreasonable to say that he was unreasonable, so Zhang Jiuding
Jiuding shamelessly came over to congratulate the opening.
After arriving, Zhang Jiuding regretted it even more. This was because Xu Shixun did not invite too many social figures this time, because media reporters were present at the opening tonight. Xu Shixun wanted to promote the ballroom, so inviting too many social figures would have a negative impact.
Those who were smarter secretly gave the opening gift before anyone arrived.
Others gave Xu Shixun gifts and made phone calls, which could be regarded as giving Xu Shixun enough favor and face.
Only Zhang Jiuding is stupid. He is too old to keep up with the trends of the times. He still thinks that a person must be loyal and personally present.
At this time, Zhang Jiuding was sitting alone in a remote seat. He was surrounded by people singing and laughing, and everyone was chatting freely. Only he, a bad old man, drank wine inappropriately and looked around from time to time, looking very embarrassed.
Shi Zhijian and Yan Xiong walked straight towards Zhang Jiuding, walked up to him, and said hello: "Master Ding, is there anyone here? Can Inspector Yan and I sit down?"
Zhang Jiuding was feeling embarrassed because he was isolated. He didn't expect that Shi Zhijian would take the initiative to say hello and even sit with him. He was suddenly moved and stood up in a hurry and said: "No one is around! Of course!"
