Lin Zichen didn't know why he felt this way, maybe it was just based on intuition, but in fact, he had long felt that Master Hong was not simple. At least the aura that Master Hong occasionally showed was definitely not what a character like the leader of the Red Gang could.
Worthy.
The car drove all the way into the provincial capital. Since Qingren Private Club is located in a prosperous area of the city, we drove for less than two hours before we arrived in front of the club.
Private clubs are usually busy at night, with various luxury cars parked in front of the door. They are also one of the most popular types of consumption among wealthy people. Those successful people come to clubs to seek relaxation and certain aspects of satisfaction after being busy.
But during the day there was no one there.
At this time, there were three or two cars parked in front of the club, including a delivery van. To put it bluntly, it could be said that the club had not yet opened its doors.
The two cars parked in the parking space, Lin Zichen and others got out of the car, looked at the Qingren private club, Lin Zichen said: "Haha, in fact, the development of the Qingwu tribe is inevitable. After all, in this society, the economy determines everything.
"
Li Zhifei smiled: "Mr. Lin, please don't forget that our Wu clan is originally a mountain clan. When we leave... our taste will change, and we may have forgotten our roots to some extent."
"Not necessarily. If the mountain people are always the mountain people, there will be no children who come out of the mountains. These children can't see what the city is like, or even feel the development. Then they will think that everything is just like in the mountains. In this way, few children will live in the mountains.
As it is passed down from generation to generation, the Shan people will be eliminated by society." Lin Zichen said with a smile.
Li Zhifei thought for a while: "What you said makes sense, but I still find it strange. This may be the reason why we, the Red Witch Clan, cannot integrate with them."
"Haha, in comparison, the Green Witch Clan should have much more funds than the Red Witch Clan. They will do more things, whether it is investment or development, and the income can satisfy them to better build the Witch Clan. This is
In fact, the Green Witch clan is too radical and the Red Witch clan is too conservative. In fact, this will be a perfect combination."
After Lin Zichen finished speaking, he walked towards the door of the club, while Li Zhifei stood there and seemed to still understand Lin Zichen's words. After all, he had lived in the mountains for a long time and had never thought about these theories.
Sang Tianlei walked past Li Zhifei and smiled: "Haha, let's learn a little bit. What's so good about being a country bumpkin? Listen to Mr. Lin more and develop. Do you hear that?"
Several people from the Wu clan on the side couldn't help but roll their eyes at Sang Tianlei. Mr. Lin seemed so talented when he spoke, but this guy was really good at it. He came over and recited it again, and he acted like a college professor...
When he walked to the door, the doorman hurriedly opened the door. Lin Zichen looked around and saw that this Qingren private club was really luxurious. In comparison, it was even as good as those high-end clubs in Yanjing.
Gorgeous irregular patterned ceramic tiles, the surrounding walls are all light yellow wallpaper, and a few stone pillars are carved with gold paint, which makes it look luxurious and elegant, but without a trace of the tackiness of a rich man.
Lin Zichen smiled. The people from the Qingwu Clan are all young people, and they really have some taste. This kind of club should be regarded as one of the most luxurious shopping places in the capital of Miaojiang Province.
Sang Tianlei, Li Zhifei and others also walked in one after another. At this time, a man in security uniform ran out of a corridor nearby and shouted to several people: "Sorry, gentlemen, we are not open yet."
Li Zhifei stepped forward: "We are not here to play with those things. Mr. Meng invited us here."
The security guard was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said: "Are you...Mr. Dagu?"
Li Zhifei became anxious when he heard that Da Gu was Wu Zhu after all. Is this a name that a little security guard like you can call?
Humph, the Green Witch Tribe is really arrogant. Even if the two sides are hostile, they are both from the Witch Tribe, so they should at least respect Wu Zhu!
"Hmph, can the word "Da Gu" actually come out of your mouth?"
With that said, Li Zhifei took two steps forward, grabbed the security guard's collar, and glared at the security guard with his eyes. The latter was so frightened that he quickly raised his hands, just like a caught thief.
"You...what are you doing? Send me away!"
Lin Zichen smiled: "Elder Li, he is just a security guard. Maybe he is also an outsider hired here. Let's ask him to pass on the message."
Li Zhifei thought about it and let go of the security guard unhappily, but the force was too great and the security guard still sat on his back...
"Go quickly and tell Lao Meng that we are here and ask him to come out to greet us!" Li Zhifei said angrily.
The security guard got up and ran towards the stairs. He ran up the stairs quickly, staggering a few steps and almost falling down.
In fact, in terms of status, although Meng Qiu and Li Zhifei are both affairs elders, Meng Qiu's qualifications are older. Meng Qiu was already the internal executive elder before the split of the Wu clan, while Li Zhifei was just an ordinary clan member at that time. In recent years, his Gu refining strength has skyrocketed.
, was respected by Da Gu and took the position of affairs elder.
However, when he heard that the security guard dared to call Da Gu by his first name, Li Zhifei became furious. He didn't care who was senior and just called Meng Qiu Lao Meng.
Lin Zichen didn't say anything. After all, these were matters within the Wu clan. Whether it was Mr. Meng or Lao Meng, these grievances had nothing to do with him.
Soon, the security guard ran down the stairs again, pointed in the direction of Lin Zichen, and said something.
At the same time, a man wearing a Chinese tunic suit walked down behind him. The man looked to be in his twenties, but his temperament was very calm. The upper body of the tunic suit was unbuttoned, and he was wearing a white bottoming T-shirt underneath, which made him look incompatible with his appearance.
Mature.
The man nodded, quickly pushed the security guard aside, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Haha, is it Elder Li?"
Li Zhifei looked the man up and down and said, "I don't know you. Ask Lao Meng to come out and talk!"
"Haha, Mr. Li, don't worry. Mr. Meng is waiting for you in the office. I am his assistant. My name is Zhou He." The man said.
"I don't care who you are, tell Lao Meng to come down!" Li Zhifei was obviously still angry, and you could hear it in his words.
However, Zhou He showed no emotion and still had a smile on his face: "Haha, Mr. Li, I made you angry because my subordinates couldn't do things before. I apologize to you here. Mr. Meng has already made tea and is waiting for you.
.”
Li Zhifei was obviously still unhappy, but Lin Zichen stepped forward and whispered: "Okay, Elder Li, now is not the time to vent your anger, let's settle the matter first."
Li Zhifei then relaxed a little and said: "Lead the way!"
Following Zhou He up the stairs, Lin Zichen found four men in black suits standing in the corridor on the second floor. These men were well-dressed in suits and their status was obviously lower than Zhou He's. They should be bodyguards, thugs or the like.
Zhou went to the second floor. Under Zhou He's guidance, Li Zhifei walked forward, but other tribesmen, Lin Zichen, and Sang Tianlei were stopped by the four men in suits.
Lin Zichen was not in a hurry and called out: "Elder Li."
Li Zhifei turned around and glanced: "What does this mean?"
"Haha, Elder Li, today I'm just sitting down with Mr. Meng to catch up on old times, so there's no need to bring anyone with me, right?" Zhou He said with a smile.
"Damn it, you still need to take care of me when I bring people? Let them in!" Li Zhifei said.
Zhou He hesitated for a moment and said: "Elder Li, let's take the overall situation into consideration. Mr. Meng will also talk to you alone!"
Li Zhifei glanced at Zhou He: "Nonsense, this building belongs to you. How many of your people are there?"
Zhou He was stunned by this question. Indeed, Meng Qiu had arranged for at least thirty bodyguards. Although he was not afraid of Li Zhifei in terms of strength, he was an elder after all, so he naturally had to protect him secretly for safety reasons.
"Come in, let me see who dares to stop me. If anyone stops me, I'll kill them!"
Of course Zhou He did not expect that Li Zhifei would come so hard, which really put him in a difficult position. Letting all these people in would definitely cause Mr. Meng to be dissatisfied, but if he refused to let them in, it would be even more troublesome to cause a fight.
"Okay, get out of the way," Zhou He said, and immediately looked at Li Zhifei, "Elder Li, I hope you can step back and bring two people in at most, how about that?"
Li Zhifei's first reaction was to look at Lin Zichen, who just nodded. Li Zhifei said: "Okay, you two come in with me."
Of course he was referring to Lin Zichen and Sang Tianlei. In the Red Witch Clan, the strength of these two people is already well known. As for the two tribesmen he brought, it doesn't matter whether they can get in or not. At most, it's just to save face.
.
Afterwards, Zhou He arranged for people to take the two Red Witch tribe members to the lounge, while he took Li Zhifei and the other three to a large office at the end of the corridor.
Zhou He knocked on the door, opened the door immediately, raised his hand to signal Li Zhifei to go in first, and said: "Elder Li, please, you two."
Entering the office, Lin Zichen looked around and thought to himself, this should be Mr. Meng's office.
This is a high-end private club, but this office is very similar to the style of Qingren Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic. It is quiet, elegant, without any extra luxury, giving people a feeling of a paradise.
One side of the office is filled with green potted plants, some of which have grown to the height of a person. They are so green that the air in the entire office is particularly fresh.
On the other side, a mahogany shelf stands in the middle like a screen. There are some porcelain and jades on the shelf that are not authentic or fake.
Behind the screen, there is a mahogany sofa, a coffee table, and an incense burner on top of the coffee table. Green smoke is rising, and the smell of agarwood is very strong, making people feel calm when they smell it.
There are not many things on the large desk beside him, including pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and an unburned cigar on the ashtray.
The leather coat's back was facing the door, but it was still possible to see someone on the chair even though it was shaking slightly.
"Zhou He, is Elder Li here?" the person on the chair said.
"Yes, Mr. Meng."
Li Zhifei snorted: "Hmph, Meng Qiu, you are really arrogant. When I come, are you still turning your back?"
"Haha, brother Li, your temper seems to have become a lot worse. What's the matter? In the past few years, the affairs elder has made your temper even worse?" Meng Qiu said with a smile.
"Stop talking nonsense and tell me what you want to see me for today?" Li Zhifei said.
"Haha, what I'm looking for today is Dagu Wuzhu, not yours, Brother Li!"
With that said, the leather jacket turned around, and Meng Qiu looked at Li Zhifei with a smile on his face. From his expression, he could see a determination to win.
But when he saw Lin Zichen next to Li Zhifei, he was shocked.
But at this time, Lin Zichen smiled as confidently as he did just now...
