At the end of November, winter has already entered the imperial capital, and the temperature is on the low side. However, when the sun shines, your whole body will feel warm and you won't feel the cold at all.
In the garden, everyone sat around the table and chatted animatedly with each other.
This garden is the public land of the villa community, but as the entire community was purchased by Lin Zhiming, this garden naturally became the private property of Lin Zhai.
"Cairong, come here, let me toast you!" Lin Zhiming came to Lin Cairong's table and clinked glasses with Lin Cairong with a smile.
Although Lin Cairong failed in the battle for hegemony in the imperial capital, she had defected to Lin Zhiming early. Now that Lin Zhiming has entered the Lin family in the imperial capital, her family has naturally followed them to the imperial capital.
At present, Lin Zhiming has allocated part of the villa area to Lin Cairong. At the same time, after this, Lin Cairong will also be promoted to the deputy chief of the Lin family.
The deputy patriarch can manage family-related matters when the patriarch is away. It is considered a very powerful position. Moreover, this is the first time that the Lin family has established the position of deputy patriarch. In the previous Lin family, several members of Qingmu Hall
The elders keep what they say, followed by the clan leader. Even if the clan leader is absent, he will have no impact on the family. Now, in order to weaken the power of Qingmudang, Lin Zhiming decisively established the position of deputy clan leader.
At the same time, several other families who submitted to him early on, such as the Lin family in the two provinces of Western Zhejiang, will also receive relevant positions in the Lin family, thereby further weakening the power of Qingmutang.
Of course, at present, these are only unilaterally formulated by Lin Zhiming. It will take some time and means to implement them. However, in Lin Zhiming's view, he must weaken the power of Aoki Hall, and he also has such power.
In the past, the head of the Lin family took Qingmudang too seriously and did not dare to resist. With his generation, everything will change.
"Thank you, patriarch!" Lin Cairong smiled and clinked glasses with Lin Zhiming, then pointed to a table of people and said, "They are all members of our family who followed me to the imperial capital, and we will all be members of the same family from now on.
Yes, please take care of me, clan leader!"
"Don't worry!" Lin Zhiming looked at everyone with a smile and said, "Since we are a family, then if I eat, everyone will eat, and if I drink, everyone will drink. Come on, have a drink!"
"Cheers!" everyone said, raising their glasses high.
Lin Zhiming drank all the wine in the cup and then walked to the next table.
"Old monitor! Huang Tingjun! It's our turn!" Lin Zhiming said with a smile and put his hand on Zhang Quan's shoulder.
The people at the table were about to stand up, but Lin Zhiming said, "Don't stand up. You are either my classmates or my friends. If you stand up, you will be in trouble!"
"We are classmates and good friends, so who is Gu Feiyan?" Huang Tingjun pointed obscenely at Gu Feiyan sitting opposite him and asked, because Huang Tingjun and Zhang Quan are also Gu Feiyan's classmates, so
Gu Feiyan specially sat at this table to greet them, but she didn't expect to be teased by Huang Tingjun for this.
"Feiyan is my girlfriend!" Lin Zhiming said seriously.
This was the first time he acknowledged Gu Feiyan's identity in front of his friends.
"Oh, that's so annoying! Then why don't you guys have a drink and have a cup with each other?" Huang Tingjun asked with an ambiguous expression.
"Give me a drink! Okay, I like it!" Joy, who was sitting next to Huang Tingjun, said happily.
This man fell in love with Huang Tingjun for some reason. Lin Zhiming originally arranged for him to sit with some leaders, but he insisted on coming to this table.
"Huang Tingjun, you are the only one who talks a lot. You are several years old and you still go to the club all day long for health care. Now you don't know how to cherish your body. Don't wait until you get older and have more time to regret it!" Gu Feiyan said jokingly.
"No matter how old I am, I can't hate you all the time, but I still envy you two. Lovers really get married! Drink, drink!" Huang Tingjun picked up the wine glass and said.
"Have a drink!" Lin Zhiming picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, and then said to Gu Feiyan, "If you greet them well, especially Huang Tingjun, and don't let him drink until he vomits, then you are unqualified as a hostess!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Gu Feiyan was so excited when she heard the words "hostess", she nodded repeatedly and looked at Huang Tingjun fiercely, and said, "Come, drink three cups of white first, then three cups of red, and finally
Three bottles of beer to rinse your mouth with!”
"Oh my god, I respect you, grandma, don't drink like that, I have another show with Joy tonight!" Huang Tingjun quickly begged for mercy, causing everyone present to laugh out loud.
After paying tribute to Huang Tingjun, Lin Zhiming made toasts to many more tables in succession, each with a glass of white wine, which was enough to show his gratitude to these people.
After playing a round to clear the level, Lin Zhiming finally returned to the main table.
The people at the main table are all capable people, Zhao Tuntian, the head of the Zhao family, Chen Ping'an, the head of the Chen family, Zhang Zhihou, the master of Chinese studies, Bi Feiyun, the imperial teacher, Hideshi Yoshino, the richest man in Asia, and Zhao Jianlin, the special representative of the Dragon clan.
It can be said that the people at this table have almost reached the limit that normal people can achieve.
What is the limit that normal people can reach? It is the highest height that you can reach without the red gene in your blood.
If you have the red gene in your blood, that's a different matter.
Lin Zhiming was a little drunk, so he sat next to Zhao Tuntian and burped.
"Let me tell you something, some elders from Qingmu Hall are probably arriving soon." Zhao Tuntian said while eating.
"I know." Lin Zhiming smiled and said, "I'm so angry, it's okay."
Zhao Tuntian smiled and felt that Lin Zhiming used the word "outraged" very well.
A few minutes later.
At the gate of Lin's house, several luxury cars directly broke the gate lever and drove into the community.
These luxury cars moved forward quickly with very clear goals, heading all the way towards the garden.
Not long after, several luxury cars parked at the entrance of the garden.
The car doors opened in unison, and then the five elders of Qingmu Hall, Zhao Qing, Qian Zhu, Sun Bai, Li Xuan, and the blind man got out of the car together.
The sunlight shone on the faces of these five elders, making their faces look so three-dimensional and making their expressions look extremely ferocious.
Of course, except for the blind man, he couldn't see anything and had no expression on his face.
After these people got out of the car, they walked straight into the garden.
In the garden, guests were drinking and mingling.
Seeing several elders from Aoki Hall coming in, these guests put down their cups and chopsticks.
Everyone was watching the elders of Qingmu Hall, watching them pass through the tables, and finally arrived in front of Lin Zhiming's table.
The five elders were standing at the other end of the table, and the guests at Lin Zhiming's table looked at the five elders calmly.
In terms of status alone, none of the guests at this table is as good as these five elders. Therefore, even though the five elders came with great force, no one was afraid of them.
"Good afternoon, everyone." Zhao Qing, as the great elder, faced this table of distinguished guests. Although he was extremely annoyed, he still said hello to these people.
There were no expressions on the faces of the people at the table. Chen Pingan nodded to each other as a response, and the others ignored them at all.
"Lin Zhiming, today is really a good day for you, you thief." Zhao Qing then turned to Lin Zhiming.
He said these words loudly and loudly, causing everyone around him to look this way.
Thief?
Could it be that he was talking about Lin Zhiming stealing the family head’s seal?
"Zhao Qing, after living so long, don't you know that you can eat randomly and don't talk nonsense?" Lin Zhiming asked lightly.
"Then I want to ask you, where did I say something nonsense?" Zhao Qing asked with a dark face.
"Then tell me, what did I steal from you? Did I steal your virginity?" Lin Zhiming asked jokingly.
Such vulgar remarks made the faces of several elders even darker.
"Lin Zhiming, don't you know what you stole?" Li Xuan shouted angrily.
"I really don't know. Could you please trouble this old gentleman to give me some pointers?" Lin Zhiming asked with a smile.
"The patriarch's seal!" Li Xuan shouted excitedly, "You stole the patriarch's seal from the head of the Lin family!"
"Elder, are you...aren't you crazy?" Lin Zhiming looked at him in horror.
"I'm not crazy, you are crazy. As the Dragon King of the Dragon Clan, you actually committed theft. Shouldn't this be because you are crazy?" Li Xuan pointed at Lin Zhiming and asked.
"Lin Zhiming, don't deny it. The leader's seal of the Lin family is with you. Everyone here has seen it!" Qian Zhu said, looking around and said, "You are all prominent figures in the emperor's capital. Can you
Tell us truthfully, did you see Lin Zhiming holding the seal of the patriarch of the Lin family just now?"
"I saw it!" Zhang Zhihou nodded.
"Okay!" Qian Zhu sneered and said, "Master Zhang himself admitted that he saw you taking the patriarch's seal. What else do you have to say, Lin Zhiming?"
"You are really crazy." Lin Zhiming glanced at the elders in front of him lightly, and then said, "I want to ask you, who is the head of the Lin family?"
"It's you." Li Xuan said.
"Since I am the head of the Lin family, how can it be considered stealing if the seal of the head of the Lin family is with me?" Lin Zhiming spread his hands and said innocently.
"Stop making excuses. Before you became the head of the family, the seal must be handed over to us for safekeeping. But we did not give the seal to you, so the seal in your hand was stolen by you, even if it belongs to you in the end.
, His origin is not justifiable!" Zhao Qing said with a dark face.
"You have really wronged me. I found this clan chief's seal a few days ago in the Lin family's old house. The Lin family's old house is the property of my Lin family. I was thinking at that time, how could such a precious thing always be so valuable?
You can't just throw it away, right? So I took him home. I didn't expect you to turn around and accuse me of stealing things! Since you said that, I would like to ask you why you don't have such valuable things.
Could it be that they were not taken care of properly and were thrown away randomly?" Lin Zhiming asked with a cold face.
