Chapter 81 - Restoration of dinner
It was surprisingly quiet on the south side of the city, which was bustling like it was three thousand years ago. The warm sun shone down like fire on the entire street. The entire air seemed to have frozen.
Kneeling in front of the BMW, he continuously kowtowed and cried out. From the looks of it, it looked like a bird that had been struck by an arrow. The mournful screeches made all the tourists on the street turn their heads to the side, unable to bear to keep watching.
No one could connect the woman who was kneeling on the street with the Fu Ruixiang Jewelry Store on the side of the street.
The dignified great merchant, the Aunt Lan, had actually pleaded for mercy towards the people in the carriage. Everyone held their breath as they concentrated. All of them did not even dare to breathe deeply.
Even though he still did not know who the person in the car was, he knew who it was. However, seeing the miserable ending that the Aunt Lan had suffered. Everyone knew that the person in the car was definitely a big shot, a big shot that they couldn't afford to offend. At least, it would be more difficult than the Fu Ruixiang Jewelry Store s of the Fu Ruixiang Jewelry Store s, or the Chief of the Urban Planning Bureau s of the Rivers and Seas.
They knew that they couldn't afford to offend such a powerful figure.
Just when everyone was looking forward to the people in the car, a lazy voice finally sounded out from the car. "Get up. I don't want to hear women crying."
Her voice was simple, without the slightest fluctuation of emotions. It was as though he was speaking to the air.
Aunt Lan was startled, her eyes twinkling with tears of excitement. Seeing that Xiao Yi, who was in the car, was willing to listen to her, she immediately felt a glimmer of hope. However, he was still unwilling to get up. He only pressed his head against the ground, not daring to make a sound.
"If you don't get up soon, your jewelry shop won't be able to continue working."
Another voice came from the car. It seemed that he was a bit impatient. When Aunt Lan heard that, he immediately stood up in fright.
"Others say, a big chest without brains. "I see that you have no chest and no brain." Xiao Yi who was in the car ridiculed and laughed, and said coldly: "In the future, don't put on that superior look of yours. In this world, there are many people that you can't afford to offend. From now on, you will be honest and sell jewelry here. As for women, I think it's better to be the one at fault. "
Hearing Xiao Yi's lesson, the Aunt Lan was not angry, but instead smiled lightly. He was like a child who had done something wrong and finally got the forgiveness of his parents. He stood outside the car door and rubbed his hands, which were covered in blood. Hearing Xiao Yi's words, the boulder hanging high in Aunt Lan's heart finally dropped.
"Alright, let's drive, Commissioner Lu." In the carriage, after Xiao Yi saw that the problem was resolved, he gave the orders to Lu Haiyang.
Lu Haiyang was startled, and then quickly entered the car. With a bang, he closed the door of the driver's seat. He started up the car and quickly disappeared from the bustling South City Road.
On the road south of the city, everyone looked at each other, staring at the BMW for a long time. Aunt Lan, who was standing in the middle of the road, used her bloodstained right hand to tidy her messy hair, and then laughed foolishly.
"Who is he?" The surrounding crowd began to discuss in hushed voices.
"I really wonder when did such a great figure appear in this river." "Truly mighty. If I could be as mighty as that person in the car, I would be willing to be a ghost." The other person's eyes were shining brightly as he daydreamed.
"Forget it. Do you really not know who that person is?" The third person had an arrogant look on his face. He opened his mouth to whet everyone's appetite.
"Do you know?" Immediately, a tacit inquiry sounded.
"Of course I know. My brother is driving in the city." This person's face was covered in light. He stroked his small beard and said proudly: "That person is Xiao Yi, Zhong Family's son-in-law. He is the young man that Old Secretary values highly. It was said that the dignified young master Song of the four great young masters had suffered quite a bit at the hands of this person. Now, be it in the business world or the underworld, everyone had to give him face. It could be said that this person was the most popular person in the world right now. Look at that Director Lu, unlike a mouse, that was trembling and frightened as he stood at the side … "
Upon hearing the explanation, everyone's faces revealed traces of fear. He finally understood why the dignified Fu Lixiang would kneel on the street and beg for forgiveness.
… ….
Xiao Yi sat in Director Lu's car with his eyes closed and started to think. In the end, what could that old shop on the south road of the center of the city do?
Unknowingly, the BMW had stopped in front of a small villa's parking lot. Director Lu stopped the car, opened his mouth and politely reminded Xiao Yi: "Mr. Xiao, we have arrived."
"Oh." Xiao Yi blinked his eyes and replied lazily.
Then, the two of them got out of the car. The Director Lu passionately brought Xiao Yi into this villa. The layout looked more compact. On the walls of this rare hall hung a few calligraphy and paintings, which added to the tranquility and distance of the room.
The Director Lu personally brought the melon and fruit snacks, and smiled at Xiao Yi: "I have invited the head chef of the Night River Sea, and am currently preparing. Mr. Xiao, please sit here for a while.
"Yes." Xiao Yi lazily leaned on the sofa and picked up a cup of hot tea that Director Lu had personally brewed.
Xiao Yi did not like tea leaves. It was just that the old man on the mountain liked it, and Xiao Yi also drank a few mouthfuls with him. Usually at home, Xiao Yi was reluctant to buy tea. However, since it was someone else's house and everyone else was bathing, Xiao Yi would naturally happily drink a few mouthfuls.
Not long after he sat down in the hall, he heard the sound of a doorbell. Director Lu laughed complacently, and greeted Xiao Yi: I'm opening the door.
Then, the Director Lu walked towards the door with a radiant look on his face, opening the door of the villa.
"Oh, Director Wei, you're here? There was also Director Lin, Director Zhang, Secretary Shi … Come on, come in. Mr. Xiao is already here. " Commissioner Lu chanted a long string of names at the door and then moved to the side. He seemed to welcome them warmly.
"Old Lu, don't lie to me." Outside, a candid male voice came from: "Within this river, who doesn't want to see the words Mr. Xiao and invite him to eat, drink and drink? However, it's not your turn. You and Old Wei have been fighting for so many years, but this time, do you think you can just find someone to scare me?
"Heh heh." Director Lu looked at his old rival, the head of the Tourism Bureau, Wei Tian, angrily smiled and said: "Come in and take a look, see if my invitation is fake."
Xiao Yi who was sitting on the sofa slightly frowned. He already had a feeling that this was not a simple meal.
"Alright, I'll come in and take a look. At that time, if you fool us bros about things, see if our bros aren't going to take you up on it or not. "Recently, there have been a lot of things happening in this river, so no one has the time to play around with you." Old Wei clenched his teeth and said outside the door.
Then, a large group of people slowly walked in from the outer door. One by one, they wore suits and were dressed well. With his short hair, he brushed it all the way back. With a beer belly, it was obvious that there were a lot of booze. However, all of their faces revealed a faint trace of majesty. This kind of grandeur was definitely something that would only appear in the upper echelons after a long time.
"Mr. Lee, I invited some friends over to have a meal with you." Lu Haiyang looked somewhat guiltily at Xiao Yi who was on the sofa, and then started to introduce him: "This is the Director Wei from the Tourism Bureau, this is the Director Zhang from the police station, this is the Director Lin from the planning department, this is the Director Shi from the city office, this is..."
This was a group of true nobles, a group of important figures in the River and Sea Politics.
Xiao Yi stood up slightly, smiled, and said humbly: "Hello everyone."
When everyone saw the slightly familiar face on the sofa, they were slightly stunned and astonishment filled their faces. Especially that Director Wei, he was gnashing his teeth in disapproval.
He had fought with this Director Lu for most of his life, fighting in secret with him in all aspects. However, this time, the Director Wei was in the back. Because, his opponent, the Director Lu, had actually invited the most popular youth in the river, Xiao Yi.
Only, the Director Wei did not understand how Xiao Yi had been invited by Lu Haiyang.
Everyone was startled for a few seconds, then smiled and nodded at Xiao Yi.
When everyone had sat down, the Director Wei finally could not hold it in anymore. Looking at Xiao Yi's young face, he opened his mouth and asked suspiciously: "Mr. Lee, I wonder what kind of virtue does Chief Lu have to be able to invite your honorable guest here?"
Xiao Yi thought for a while, then laughed lightly and said something disgraceful: "I just happened to have lunch at noon, and Director Lu had invited me to lunch. So I came. "
Xiao Yi's words were true, but everyone heard them. All of them were stunned for a moment as bitter smiles appeared on their faces.
"Then why don't you want to show them your face when they invite you?" Director Wei seemed unwilling to do so and continued to ask. He decided that he was going to find out what was in this matter.
Xiao Yi laughed faintly before spitting out a sentence slowly, "The key thing is, no one has ever invited me before. If you didn't invite me, how could you say that you won't be able to? "
This was the truth, that Lu Haiyang was the first person to eat a crab, so he invited Xiao Yi. And this group of important figures in the rivers and seas, all of them naturally believed that Xiao Yi, such a popular and popular person, would not be able to be invited. Therefore, none of them were willing to take the initiative to take this step.
And Lu Haiyang walked out of it with his head held up high, thus he succeeded.
"Then does Mr. Xiao have a meal tonight?" Director Wei heaved a long sigh of relief in his heart, he finally found the crux of the matter. He smiled benevolently, and invited Xiao Yi without batting an eyelid.
"From the looks of it, there's no meal in the evening." Xiao Yi thought about it, then shook his head.
"Since that's the case, then can Mr. Xiao come over to my house for a simple meal tonight? "By the way, give me a pointer or two on the path of calligraphy." After Director Wei finished speaking, his face slightly flushed, as he looked at Xiao Yi with anticipation.
