At the condolence site, "Fragrant Rice King" Bai Changqing, "Rubber King" Lu Rongsheng, Xie Guangyi, Feng Guoquan, Charlie Chen and others were present.
In addition, the Gao family and his son, one of the four major Chinese families, also came together.
Outside the funeral parlor, the appearance of the Gao family and his son caused a burst of sarcasm to ring around -
"No way, Gao Wanjun is here too?"
"Yeah, I heard he was so embarrassed yesterday!"
“I thought I could become the boss of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, but I didn’t expect that I would get nothing out of a bamboo basket!”
People at the scene had different expressions when they saw the Gao family and his son, and most of them expressed disdain and contempt.
Speaking of which, the Gao family and his son were very embarrassed. Yesterday, Shi Zhijian usurped the boss position at the Chinese businessmen election meeting. The father and son made a fool of themselves in front of them, which aroused ridicule.
Today, they had to shamelessly come over to pay homage to the Li family. Faced with so many familiar relatives and friends, as well as the Chinese businessmen at yesterday's conference, how could the relationship between father and son be so embarrassing?!
However, Gao Wanjun thought very clearly that if his father and his son did not come this time, the consequences would be even more serious.
First, they will be accused of not knowing etiquette and rules.
Second, if there is a gap with the Li family, it will be even worse if the business fails in the future.
Thirdly, if they don't come, it will arouse greater suspicion, and everyone will think that they are afraid of losing face and will be treated as funny clowns.
After all, Gao Wanjun is also a Chinese businessman who has been in the business world for decades. It is not his style to look forward and backward. Since he lost to Shi Zhijian yesterday, he is willing to admit defeat. As for whether to lose face or not, it is no longer his consideration.
Facing his father, who is as thick-skinned as a city wall, Gao Chaohui, the young man, obviously lacks the skills and cannot deal with it calmly.
His expression was very complicated at the scene, and he kept avoiding everyone's gaze. When people looked at him, they would unconsciously guess whether the other person was laughing at him.
Of course, Li Yaozu was not the kind of person who liked to ridicule others, not to mention that the Gao family and his son could come to express their condolences, which would give them the benefit of the family.
Li Yaozu immediately winked and asked his daughter Li Xuexuan to come forward.
The Gao father and son first had their custom-made wreaths placed outside, and then followed Li Xuexuan towards the hall.
Li Xuexuan led people into the crystal coffin. The Gao family each took the yellow paper placed next to it, burned a few pieces and threw them into the brazier. Then they bowed to Li Zhaotian's photos, and finally took some incense and lit them.
Insert the incense burner.
The dead are great!
Although the Gao family and his son are not familiar with Li Zhaotian, they are both big families, and face is still in charge. This series of paper-burning incense is quite impressive.
Li Yaozu exchanged greetings with the Gao family and his son, and the people around him pointed at them again.
Seeing this, Li Yaozu sighed and said: "Originally I shouldn't mention it here... In fact, I have heard about what happened yesterday, and I won't say much else. I just want to say that victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists.
Take it easy!"
Facing Li Yaozu's relief, Gao Wanjun smiled bitterly and said: "Even so, I still don't accept it! I think that Shi Zhijian is so young but he dominates me, and he can do whatever he wants at the conference. I really... ugh!"
"Of course!" Gao Wanjun sighed and then said, "I know that Mr. Li, you have a close relationship with Shi Zhijian. To be precise, you are still his noble person. Without your support, he would not be able to be so prosperous in Bangkok...
…”
Li Yaozu shook his head and interrupted Gao Wanjun with gestures: "That's wrong! In fact, I only recently learned about his true identity. Just being the president of Hong Kong Shinhwa Group makes me ashamed!"
"Shi Zhijian is very promising at a young age. Looking at the younger generation in Bangkok or Hong Kong, no one can surpass him! In fact, he has already led the times and become a leader of the times!"
Gao Wanjun was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Li Yaozu to mention Shi Zhijian even today.
As far as Gao Wanjun knew, the reason why Li Yaozu's nephew Li Zhaotian fell to his death this time was related to Shi Zhijian, and it was Shi Zhijian who forced him!
Gao Wanjun thought that Li Yaozu would hate Shi Zhijian, so that they could share the same hatred and maybe even join the same front, but he didn't expect that Li Yaozu would be so ignorant that his nephew would say good things about Shi Zhijian after his death.
Next to him, Gao Chaohui was also stunned. He was even more surprised than his father by Li Yaozu's reaction.
Gao Chaohui actually thinks more than his father. Although it is embarrassing, he insisted on accompanying his boss here to express his condolences today, but the real purpose of coming here was for Li Xuexuan.
In Gao Chaohui's view, Shi Zhijian's killing of Li Zhaotian was tantamount to enmity with the Li family, and this enmity was very big and could not be solved easily.
From now on, even if Lee Seol-hyun is interested in Shi Zhijian, it is impossible for the two to be together.
Then Gao Chaohui will have the opportunity to take advantage of it!
But now——
Gao Chaohui even suspected that Li Yaozu, the big boss, was mentally ill and had lost his mind. Then Gao Chaohui looked at the majestic mourning hall and heard that after Li Zhaotian's death, Li Yaozu was also overly sad and looked haggard.
Could this all be fake?
Otherwise, why didn’t Li Yaozu hate Shi Zhijian?!
Just when the Gao family and his son were muttering in their hearts——
The master of ceremonies outside sang loudly: "Chairman of the Bangkok Chinese Business Association, President of Hong Kong Shinhwa Company, Third Earl of the British Empire, Mr. Shi Zhijian - here!"
This voice immediately silenced the noisy scene, and everyone couldn't help but look towards the door!
Shi Zhijian, dressed in white, appeared at the gate of the funeral home.
Many guests looked surprised!
Bai Changqing and others were stunned!
The Gao family and his son were even more shocked!
Shi Zhijian, he’s actually here?!
You know, Shi Zhijian was the "chief culprit" who killed Li Zhaotian. Logically speaking, he couldn't avoid such a thing, but he dared to come to express his condolences in person!
Facing the arrival of Shi Zhijian, the boss Li Yaozu looked strange and could not tell whether he was happy or angry.
Li Xuexuan looked at Shi Zhijian with a worried look on his face.
"Mr. Shi Zhijian sends a wreath and an elegiac couplet!" the master of ceremonies continued to sing loudly.
Shi Zhijian asked Yan Xiong and others to send the wreaths and elegiac couplets to be placed, and then he looked at Li Xuexuan who was coming.
Li Xuexuan looked at him with her beautiful eyes, as if saying: "Why are you here?"
Shi Zhijian nodded towards her, and then led by Li Xuexuan into the main hall of the funeral home. According to the procedure, he first burned a few pieces of yellow paper and threw them into the brazier, then he clasped his hands and bowed to the portrait of Li Zhaotian, took some incense and lit it.
, insert the incense burner.
There were whispers from around: "Wow, he is Shi Zhijian!"
"Yes, I heard that he was the one who killed Li Zhaotian!"
"Is Shinhwa Group powerful?"
"I'm not sure, it seems to be very famous!"
"So what if it's famous? This is Bangkok, not Hong Kong, so who cares?"
To the guests around him, Shi Zhijian was still too unfamiliar to them.
Shinhwa Group is really too far away from them.
They are not top-notch Chinese businessmen, so how could they know Shi Zhijian's terrifying strength.
In comparison, the Shi Zhijian in front of him is really too young! They are very particular about "having nothing to say but doing things well"!
Therefore, they looked down upon Shi Zhijian and believed that the outside world's evaluation of him was exaggerated.
After Shi Zhijian finished everything, he turned towards Li Yaozu and walked up to him: "My condolences!"
If this kind of scene were viewed by others, it would definitely be a typical example of "a cat crying but a mouse showing false mercy!"
There are even people around who think so, you killed someone's nephew, and now you come here to ask someone to express their condolences. Isn't this a slap in the face?
However, Li Yaozu was not an ordinary person. He immediately tried his best to squeeze out a smile and said, "I'm very happy that you can come!" This simple sentence was full of flavor.
At the very least, Gao Wanjun and his son, as well as Bai Changqing, Lu Rongsheng, Xie Guangyi and others who were standing nearby, had different tastes after hearing this sentence.
Especially Gao Wanjun and his son, their hearts are conflicted and entangled at the moment.
They were very reluctant to see Shi Zhijian on such an occasion. After all, Shi Zhijian defeated them yesterday, trampled them to pieces, and made them lose face.
They were also very eager to see Shi Zhijian come here, and wanted to see Li Yaozu's attitude towards Shi Zhijian and how the two enemies should deal with each other.
"Go over there and rest first. I'll talk to you later." Li Yaozu simply said a few words to Shi Zhijian.
Shi Zhijian nodded and took a look at the rest area. There were many people he knew, such as Bai Changqing, Lu Rongsheng, Xie Guangyi and others. However, the ones Shi Zhijian was most familiar with were Feng Guoquan and Charlie Chen.
These people are all gathered together at this moment, some are talking softly, and some are passing business cards to each other - although this is a condolence event, it is also an opportunity to make connections, and some caring people will certainly not miss it.
Shi Zhijian walked towards Feng Guoquan and Charlie Chen. Yan Xiong, who was following Shi Zhijian, had quick eyesight and quick hands. He immediately stepped forward to help Shi Zhijian pull out his seat.
It doesn't matter if other people see this scene, because most of them don't know who Yan Xiong is.
The only people who knew Yan Xiong's true identity, such as Li Xuexuan, the Gao family and others, had strange expressions at this moment!
The four famous detectives in Hong Kong were so attentive to Shi Zhijian, which is astonishing!
"Ajian, you're here!"
"Yes, let's see our old friend!" Shi Zhijian said, turning back to look at the portrait of Li Zhaotian.
Indeed, today he is not here to show off his power, nor is he here to seek hardship, but to see his old friend Li Zhaotian.
For so many years, he and Li Zhaotian fought back and forth, from Hong Kong to New York, and from New York to Bangkok. Now that he has passed away, Shi Zhijian feels lonely as if he has lost his opponent.
"Actually, we were still guessing that you wouldn't come." Bai Changqing took out a cigarette and handed it to Shi Zhijian.
Shi Zhijian took it and bit it in the corner of his mouth. Yan Xiong immediately took out a lighter and helped him light it.
Feng Guoquan, Charlie Chen and others did not know Yan Xiong's true identity. Seeing Yan Xiong being so attentive to Shi Zhijian, Feng Guoquan was not only envious but said: "Ajian, you are a very good follower!"
Shi Zhijian glanced at Yan Xiong.
Yan Xiong smiled proudly, and when he saw Shi Zhijian's look, he was busy but also lowered his eyebrows.
"His name is Yan Xiong, and he has been with me for almost two years!" Shi Zhijian said after blowing out a puff of smoke.
"Yan Xiong?" Feng Guoquan frowned, "This name sounds familiar. I remember I once took a boat trip to Hong Kong. At that time, my boat was seized. In order to smoothen the relationship, someone gave money to a man named Yan Xiong.
The detective..."
"Yes, yes, yes, I heard you mention it. You said that the detective named Yan, also named Yan Xiong, has great powers in Hong Kong, can cover the sky with one hand, and is very greedy!" Charlie Chen echoed from the side.
At this time, Yan Xiong smiled, nodded towards Feng Guoquan and said, "Sorry! That Yan Xiong is me!"
"What? Cough cough cough!" Feng Guoquan almost choked to death on the cigarette.
Charlie Chen also stared at Yan Xiong with wide eyes, as if he had seen a ghost!
In fact, the two of them still have some words to say. As far as they know, Yan Xiong is not only domineering in Hong Kong and extremely powerful, but also narrow-minded and duplicitous. He is known as the "Smiling Tiger" and anyone who offends him will not
Good ending.
People like them who go to Hong Kong from Bangkok to do business not only have to go to Yan Xiong to "visit the dock", but they also have to keep giving him money to take care of everything, otherwise it will be difficult to move forward.
There once was a Thai colleague who didn't understand the rules and ignored Yan Xiong, Inspector Hua, in order to save money. In the end, not only was a shipment of goods seized by the marine police, but he himself was beaten up by Yan Xiong's men and almost died in a foreign country.
"Boss Feng, right? In fact, I still remember you!" Yan Xiong tapped his forehead with his fingers, "The batch of goods you shipped to Hong Kong at that time was bananas. If it is delayed for a few more days, it will turn into banana puree! I took it
You paid 18,000 yuan to help those crazy bosses get the pass for you! Speaking of which, I still lost because I only made 10,000 yuan from you from the beginning to the end!"
"Cough cough cough!" Feng Guoquan almost choked to death on his cigarette again.
Is 10,000 yuan too little for corruption?
He seems to know how awesome the four detectives in Hong Kong are.
Charlie Chen also looked at Yan Xiong with a bloody face, doubting that he still had the nerve to say this?!
The more Yan Xiong talked, the more excited he became, "I heard what you said, actually blackmailing you Thai guys is just child's play! The most we can do is use your cargo ships to engage in smuggling..."
Yan Xiong did not shy away from his past corruption crimes. Instead, he told these disgraceful things as a history of prestige to Feng Guoquan and others. After telling the history of prestige, he clicked his lips a few times and said: "That's right.
, do you have a cigarette? I'm craving for cigarettes, let's have a cigarette!" After saying this, he moved his two fingers towards Feng Guoquan, showing a boss attitude.
Feng Guoquan hurriedly took out the cigarette and handed it over.
Charlie Chen immediately stepped forward to help Yan Xiong light his cigarette.
Seeing this, Shi Zhijian coughed softly next to him!
Immediately, the four detectives in Hong Kong, who were so impressive just now, and whose stories about their prestige and history made them vomit, became as scared as a mouse seeing a cat, and handed the cigarette to Shi Zhijian with a smile: "Boss, actually this cigarette
I asked for it for you! I know you are addicted to cigarettes and you need to eat a few more!"
Feng Guoquan and Charlie Chen looked at Yan Xiong, who was nodding and bowing with a flattering face, and wondered if they had seen it wrong.
Is this the same Inspector Yan who boasted to them just now and showed his domineering attitude?!
At this moment, Feng Guoquan, Charlie Chen and others learned about Shi Zhijian's hidden strength for the first time.
The people they respected like tigers and wolves were as humble as hawks and dogs in front of Shi Zhijian!
