As the sound appeared, Zhang Mengmeng, Fu Shengjie, Tong Ling, and Zhou Yue turned their heads at the same time, and saw a woman wearing a big red off-shoulder skirt and wearing a pair of high heels standing behind them.
The woman is not old and looks like she is just in her early twenties. She looks a bit better. She is also a school beauty-level figure, but compared to Zhang Mengmeng, she is a little worse.
The woman's name is Li Si. She often plays with Tong Ling, Zhang Mengmeng and others when she was a child, but her relationship was not very good, because Zhang Mengmeng and Tong Ling were more beautiful than her. The people who pursued her were far less admired than Tong Ling and Zhang Mengmeng, so when she was a child, Li Si saw that the two were not very happy.
However, Zhang Mengmeng and Tong Ling hadn't seen Li Si for several years. I heard that he married the young master of a big family in Jinling.
Tong Ling curled her lips. She has not liked Li Si since she was a child. She often likes to use some cleverness and tricks, which makes her and Zhang Mengmeng embarrass her.
"Sister Si, why are you back? You didn't inform us earlier. We even said we wanted to invite you to have dinner and sing together." Fu Shengjie suddenly showed a flattering smile on his face and said.
Zhou Yue also spoke, "Sister Si, I heard that you married Major Wang from the Wang family in Jinling, and your future is limitless."
"Hmph, your news is quite good, but my husband is about to be promoted to lieutenant colonel. He may be able to be a colonel or a colonel before he is forty. It is not impossible to be appointed as a general in this life." Li Sifeng said lightly.
Even though she said so calmly, she did not hide the pride and pride on her face.
The group of people around took a breath. It was a peaceful era and it was too difficult to be appointed as a general. However, I heard that Li Si’s husband was only 32 years old this year, so maybe it was really possible.
Many girls looked at Li Si with envy. The Li family was just a third-rate family in Linzhou. Now they have clinged to the Wang family, who has now become accused of Jinling, and have transformed themselves into a vague way of overwhelming them.
Li Si's lips showed a hint of pride, and he narrowed his eyes slightly to look at Zhang Mengmeng and Tong Ling, "Xiaomeng, Tong Ling, you haven't found a boyfriend yet, do you want me to let my husband introduce one to you? You must know that my husband knows all the young masters of a big family, and you will never suffer any loss."
"Thank you, there is no need." Tong Ling said coldly with a faint face.
"I don't need it either." Zhang Mengmeng smiled slightly.
"Now you are proud. When you get older, others will look down on you. Don't think that you can pick one you have to choose from if you have some capital. In the end, you will find someone you are not satisfied with, and you will suffer in the future." Li Si said jokingly.
"Where are we going to find a boyfriend to care about your business?" Tong Ling curled her lips and said coldly.
"I'm just for your own good, so I'll forget it." Li Si gritted her teeth and snorted softly.
Fu Shengjie quickly smoothed out and said, "Everyone is friends, don't be angry, let's chat, by the way, Sister Si, where is your husband?"
"Of course my husband is inside, and I'm going to see Mr. Mu." Li Si said, lifting his chin slightly, looking arrogant.
When Fu Shengjie and Zhou Yue heard her words, they couldn't help but look envious on their faces. You must know that Mr. Mu invited a banquet for a large family gathering in Jiangbei and Jiangnan today. Only those with certain qualifications can go to the inner hall inside. As for juniors like Fu Shengjie, Zhou Yue, who are basically not qualified to enter.
The other boys and girls surrounded Li Si, with compliments and flattery, leaving Zhang Mengmeng and Tong Ling aside.
"Hmph, why are you so arrogant? You just find a good husband and show off your power in front of us." Tong Ling hugged her arms with both hands and snorted in dissatisfaction.
Zhang Mengmeng smiled awkwardly, but said nothing, with a thoughtful look in her eyes. She didn't know if Zhuo Bufan had left Linzhou.
She knew that today Mu Chaozong asked Jiangbei and Jiangnan's family to gather here, targeting Zhuo Bufan. Mu Chaozong has a great reputation in Jiangbei. After all, he has been in Jiangbei for decades, and Zhang Mengmeng felt a little worried about Zhuo Bufan.
In the inner hall.
Mu Chaozong sat at the first place calmly, wearing a white training suit and stubble, his eyes swept across the people present, vaguely with an eagle-looking look at the wolf. Facing this boss who had suppressed Jiangbei for decades, even the rich men on the Hurun list could not help but face his gaze and lower their heads.
Next to him was a beautiful girl with a beautiful appearance, with her hair tied with a ponytail, giving people a pure and cold feeling, which was Mu Wanqing, the daughter of Mu Chaozong.
Behind the stage are the big bosses of various families, groups, or underground forces in Jiangbei and Jiangnan. Almost 70% of the people gather here. The combined energy of these people is enough to cause the entire Jiangbei and Jiangnan economy to turmoil.
Or if everyone stomps their feet, they can make Jiangbei or Jiangnan tremble.
"Today, I, Mu, dared to invite everyone to come here to gather. I believe everyone will give me the face of Mu. Thank you here first." Mu Chaozong sat firmly on the chair of the Grand Master, raised his hand and bowed to express his respect.
Mu Chaozong was able to conquer Jiangbei's huge iron-minded country, which was not only due to his own martial arts and strength, but also his wisdom and attitude towards dealing with people. Otherwise, how could he dominate Jiangbei and be unique?
"Mr. Mu, you are welcome. It is our honor to invite us." said a man with a big belly, who was the chairman of Jiangbei Huarong Group.
"Yes, Mr. Mu invited us to the banquet, which was for us to save face." Another patriarch of the Jiangbei family said.
Immediately afterwards, many large families and helmsmen of major forces in Jiangbei spoke, but only those from Jiangnan looked very nice, but a few of them also spoke compliments. It was obvious that these people had been subdued by Mu Chaozong.
"You are polite. Actually, I'm asking you to gather today. I want to discuss something with you. Everyone knows that there are some misunderstandings between Jiangbei and Jiangnan, which has also led to many difficulties in our business operations. My idea is to form a new chamber of commerce and coordinate the planning of Jiangbei and Jiangnan's enterprises. This will also be of great benefit to everyone."
Mu Chaozong spoke and said lightly.
Many people from Jiangnan frowned. Mu Chaozong wanted to unify the north and south.
"I've had this idea for a long time, but it's a pity that I haven't had a chance."
"Yes, we are all a family, why bother to fight to the death?"
"I support Mr. Mu's decision, which is for everyone."
Many people agreed, but most of them were from Jiangbei. As for the people from Jiangnan, they kept silent, as if they were waiting for something. (To be continued)
