"Thanks for your hard work everyone. You even came all the way here to pick me up." Lei Zhenhu said to the dozen people behind Xia Jiang with a benevolent smile.

"It's all right." Xia Jiang smiled and said, "Old Gramps, you are a citizen of Jiang Yuan city. When we return to Jiang Yuan city, we, who live on the outskirts of Jiang Yuan city, will definitely come to pick you up."

"You're being considerate." Lei Zhenhu smiled and said, "Little Xia, get in my car. We've not seen each other for many years, let's chat and talk about personal matters."

"Alright." Xia Jiang nodded and said, "It's been a long time since I've seen you. You haven't returned to Jiang Yuan City for so many years, I've missed you a lot."

"Jia Ying, just take Xia's car." Lei Zhenhu said to the middle-aged woman.

"Understood, Grandfather." The middle-aged woman nodded.

"Taiping, accompany Miss Lei." Xia Jiang said to Xu Taiping.

"Alright." Xu Taiping nodded. This middle-aged woman was obviously Lei Zhenhu's granddaughter. Lei Zhenhu was eighty years old, while his granddaughter was around thirty to forty years old. That was normal.

Xia Jiang and Lei Zhenhu got into the Rolls Royce while Xu Taiping got into Xia Jiang's car. As for Xia Jinxuan, she could only drive Xu Taiping's S600.

On the way back, there were more than 20 carriages. It was quite a spectacular scene. Fortunately, it was not the peak hour for commuting and there were not many carriages on the road, so there was no traffic jam.

Xu Taiping sat in the back row of the Mai Bach. Lei Jiayin sat beside him with a laptop in her hand. She didn't have any expression on her face, nor did she have any intentions of talking to Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping had initially wanted to say a few words to Lei Jia Ying, but Lei Jia Ying didn't even bother with him, so he didn't bring any trouble on himself.

"You should be considered the youngest person to be at the helm of Xia Jiang, right?" Lei Jiayi suddenly said.

Xu Taiping froze for a moment, then nodded, "Yes."

"I've investigated you. From your debut until now, in just a few months, three of Xia Jiang's leaders have died. You are truly not simple. " Lei Jia Ying said to Xu Taiping with a meaningful smile.

"We can only say that their fate is bad." Xu Taiping laughed.

"This is my room card." Lei Jiaxin took out a Hilton Hotel room card from her bag and handed it to Xu Taiping, saying, "Come and find me after tonight's dinner."

After she finished speaking, Lei Jia Ying looked at Xu Taiping with a cold smile and licked her lips.

This Lei Jiaxin was not bad, but she was still a bit old, and there was still a gap between her and Xia Jinxuan. As someone who was used to eating mountain delicacies, Xu Taiping couldn't help but feel speechless.

However, Xu Taiping accepted the room card. After all, she was the granddaughter of Old Master Lei. It would be impolite for her to refuse her.

Lei Jiaoying didn't say anything after handing her room key to Xu Taiping. The convoy passed through half of the city and arrived at the Hilton Hotel in the center of the city.

The Hilton Hotel had already been notified beforehand that the underground parking lot was completely empty. Furthermore, the owner of the hotel was also waiting inside the parking lot.

After the car was parked, Xia Jiang got off first and ran towards another door. He opened the door and helped Lei Zhenhu out of the car.

Xia Jiang and Lei Zhenhu both looked good. It seemed like they had a good chat in the car.

"Elder Lei, Secretary Yu is already upstairs waiting for you." Lei Zhenhu's driver and secretary walked up to his side and whispered.

"Well, tell him I'll be there in a minute." Lei Zhenhu said indifferently.

"Secretary Yu …" He was the head of Jiangyuan city and could also be considered a friend of Xia Jiang. However, their relationship was not deep, Xia Jiang did not expect that Secretary Yu would personally come to Hilton Hotel to wait for Lei Zhenghu, but from this, it was not hard to see that even though the old man was about to leave, his status in Hua Xia was still very respected.

"Little Xia, I'll go and talk to Secretary Yu about something in a while. You can push the dinner back a bit." Lei Zhenhu said to Xia Jiang.

"No rush, let's eat after you agree." Xia Jiang laughed.

"These are the people who get most annoyed every time we come down to the city." Lei Zhenhu said with dissatisfaction, "I just want to invest and have a good performance, but I just like to put on airs."

"Yes, yes, yes." Xia Jiang nodded with a smile, "You, an old man, truly have a huge amount of resources. As long as you nod your head, then wouldn't your accomplishments be a huge amount?"

"It's all a routine." Lei Zhenhu shook his head and said, "When this person reaches his age, the things he sees will be more thorough. Let's not talk about it anymore. I'll get someone to inform you later. You guys can go and wait."

"Alright." Xia Jiang said, "I'll send you up."

"Yes."

Xia Jiang sent Lei Zhenhu upstairs. Xu Taiping and the rest didn't have the qualifications to follow, so they could only wait in the restaurant downstairs.

"What did you chat about with Lei Jiayi in the car?" Xia Jinxuan sat next to Xu Taiping and asked curiously.

"Nothing much." Xu Taiping shook his head. Although there were many things he would tell Xia Jinxuan, he still felt that it would be best if he didn't tell her about Lei Jiayi giving him the room card.

"It doesn't look easy to get along with." Xia Jinxuan frowned and said, "From the time I saw her, I had never seen her with a smile. She had a straight face, as if everyone owed her money."

"Maybe it's because he's the granddaughter of the flag bearer. After all, there are only a few flag bearers in China. "An extremely expensive identity." Xu Taiping laughed.

"If one day my father becomes a flag bearer, can I be like her?" Xia Jinxuan excitedly asked.

"You don't need your dad to become a standard-bearer. When you enter menopause, you will be like that too."

"Haha, you're so bad, calling him a menopause!"

Xu Taiping and the others were waiting for Old Lei in the private room of the hotel, and Xia Jiang was also waiting there. Xu Taiping and the others were waiting for Old Lei in the private room of the hotel, and Xia Jiang was also waiting for them there.

"How long will it take?" Xu Taiping yawned and said, "I'm hungry from waiting."

"The old gramps matters are more than we thought." Xia Jiang said lightly, "I just arrived at Jiangyuan City today, so there must be a lot of people visiting. Let's wait and see."

The surrounding people did not say anything. Honestly speaking, even though Old Master Lei's status was respected, the people present were not those who would be easily intimidated. They were all hegemons of a region, and had always been waiting for others to get their hands on them.

When it was almost nine o'clock, the door to the private room was pushed open. Master Lei, led by Lei Jiaoying and his secretary, Mr. Zhou, walked in.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I didn't think that Secretary Yu was actually a close friend of mine. That's why we chatted for a while." Lei Zhenhu apologetically said to everyone as he walked.

Everyone stood up from their seats. Xia Jiang quickly walked to Old Master Lei's side and supported him, saying, "It's our fortune to be able to wait here for you. Others want to wait, but they don't have this chance."

"Little Xia, your talking skills have grown so much. Big fellow, are you hungry? Quickly sit down and eat." Lei Zhenhu laughed.

Everyone took their seats according to their seniority. Xu Pingping sat near the door and was considered to be one of the people with a lower status than Zhou Xiao Yu and Zeng Jia.

After everyone had settled down, Lei Laojiu smiled and said, "Actually, I wanted to go back to Jiangyuan City a long time ago and look at you youngsters. I know that Little Xia not only has been doing well in Jiangyuan City, but in the entire underground world of China, has also become more and more powerful. Jiangyuan City is my hometown and is also the place that I care about the most, and now, under your control, Jiangyuan City seems to have the power that leads the entire south. I'm very pleased.

Old Man Lei said that he would do as he pleased, but no one dared to do that. The people seated around the table all picked up their wine glasses and downed it in one gulp.

"About my birthday celebration this time, Little Zhou should have more or less finished arranging it, right?" Lei Zhenhu asked his secretary, Mr. Zhou, who was standing beside him.

"Yes, the entire China has already been notified." Mr. Zhou nodded.

When the time comes, many old friends and new friends will come to Jiangyuan City to celebrate my birthday, which may have some impact on Jiangyuan City. Just now, Secretary Lu came to find me to discuss this matter, and everyone knows that we are in the same society, so it is inevitable that our hostility will be heavy. Therefore, in order not to cause any negative impact, I said, at most you can't bring more than three of my subordinates. Lei Zhenhu asked.

"I understand, when the time comes, all brothers of my White Hawk Gang will be spread throughout the city, and all visiting guests will be under special protection. In fact, we have already made preparations a week in advance, the station, the airport, and the dock are all under control, and we have also cooperated with the police. In the recent period of time, we have also cooperated with them and carried out a number of special clean-up operations. Xia Jiang said seriously.

"Boss Xia is really amazing. You can even use the police. Those who don't know it might think you're a police informant." Lei Jiayi said with a smile that did not reach her eyes.

"Hehe, Miss Lei is joking. I, Xia, am a person who has made friends in Jiangyuan City. At the very least, I know some leaders." Xia Jiang laughed.

"If that's the case, then that's for the best. If you can handle this matter well, then I can guarantee that when I'm retreating, those old fellows will recommend you to be the new flag bearer." Lei Zhenhu said.

Xia Jiang's face slightly trembled, then calmly said, "It's my great honor to celebrate your birthday, I just hope that you can live forever. As for anything else, I've never thought about it."

"En, very good. Everyone, let's start eating. Don't be hungry anymore." Lei Zhenhu said with a smile. Mobile users please browse and read, better reading experience.
