C1380 He Was High-profile
No one else has the right to interfere with Qi Chaosheng's decision.
Was it really because the Qi Family wanted to live a low-profile life?
This year's meeting of the four families was the fastest to end. The Qi Family had to withdraw from the meeting.
Presumably, tomorrow's news broadcast would cause an unprecedented wave of interest.
The media also left in high spirits and went back to write their drafts.
From now on, there would only be three great families left in the Yanjing's four great families!
No one had thought that this would happen.
When it was over, qi Chao said with a smile: "Brothers, don't mind. The banquet tonight will continue as usual!"
The first floor of the hotel had already been set up, all kinds of food and famous wines were placed, waiting for the cocktail party to begin.
……
Around six o'clock in the evening.
Lin Nan opened his eyes in a daze and muttered, "It seems like it's getting late."
But when he looked at the time, he immediately jumped up. "There are still forty minutes to the cocktail party!"
With that, he dashed downstairs.
"Dragon King, you're awake?" Bone spur asked.
"You know I'm going to a cocktail party tonight, why didn't anyone call me?" Lin Nan said with a bitter smile.
"You said it yourself, and told us not to disturb you." Qin Feng said with a wronged expression.
"Forget it. Farewell!"
Lin Nan quickly got into the car, stepped on the accelerator and sped away.
There was a distance between the Bright Moon Lake Hotel and here, 40 minutes was the limit.
……
At 6: 30, the cruise ship on the shore of the Moon Lake began to move.
Guests invited by the four big families took the boat to the hotel one after another.
"Director Li, welcome!"
"Long time no see, Director Zhang. How have you been?"
“……”
The reception at the entrance of the hotel was in progress. Every family's younger generation was welcoming their own guests.
Chu Xuanming yawned and leaned against the door as he said: "These four great clan meetings are boring. Look... there are only three left now. "
"Brother, don't say so much. Don't complain here." Chu Qinglan glared at him.
Qi Huanchen sneered and said, "Your family doesn't have this kind of resolution, that's all."
"What do you mean that's all? What do you mean?" Chu Xuanming said unhappily.
"You won't understand even if I tell you. Only by getting rid of these restrictions can the clan develop better. Being bound by those unrealistic titles, you won't be able to see the future. " Qi Huanchen said proudly.
"Then tell me what future you saw!"
Chu Xuanming had long disliked Qi Huanchen, this cocky fellow, so he directly went against him.
His status in the Chu Family was only that. Perhaps everyone attached more importance to Chu Qinglan.
But as a member of the Chu Family, he would absolutely not acknowledge Qi Huanchen's words.
Chen Yifeng came out to mediate. "It might be the last time we're going to attend such a meeting, so there's no need to make things difficult for us."
"Hmph!"
Chu Xuanming turned his head away, very unconvinced.
Huo Qiling saw everything. He didn't know why, but... She felt uneasy.
Would Qi Chaosheng, this old fox, be willing to abandon the halo of the Four Great Clans?
The welcoming party continued.
The people who came were all important figures in society, mainly businessmen, and some leading figures in certain fields.
At this moment, an outstanding white-haired elder walked over.
Everyone looked, but they found that it was very unfamiliar.
"Who invited this old man here?" Huo Xiao Yun said coldly.
Qi Huanchen walked up to him with a smile in front of everyone's confusion. "Uncle Gao."
"It's Huan Chen. Long time no see. He has become handsome again!"
"Uncle Gao, you flatter me. It's great that you can come. Let me send you in." Qi Huanchen said with a smile.
"Okay, okay!"
Chen Yisheng watched Qi Huanchen walk into the hotel lobby and asked, "Brother, who are these people invited by Qi Family?"
"They have a powerful background." Chen Yifeng said in a deep voice.
"Although I don't know him, if his surname is Gao, I think he should be a retired senior officer in China." Huo Qiling guessed.
"Senior officer?"
Chen Yifeng nodded. "Yes, one of the top officials in China."
"Brother, how do you know him?" Chen Yisheng asked in surprise.
Chen Yifeng smiled strangely. "What surprised you even more is what happened later."
"So, what is this Qi Family trying to sell in the gourd?" Chu Xuanming was somewhat dumbfounded.
Although it was a family of officials and merchants, they really did not interact much.
Furthermore, who would invite the officials to this kind of merchant party?
After welcoming a few guests, another unfamiliar face came.
As expected!
Qi Huanchen went up to greet him again and said, "Uncle Zhang!"
"Oh, huanchen, is Master Qi here?"
"Yes, yes, I'll bring you there now!"
Qi Huanchen left with a smile.
Chen Yifeng introduced, "The current director of a certain supervisory bureau in China."
"Oh my god!"
Chu Xuanming couldn't help but call out.
This bureau happened to be holding onto the lifeline of these merchants. Even the most powerful merchants would be afraid of these people.
The Qi Family directly invited the director over. Could it be that they were showing off?
Huo Qiling said in a low voice: "I feel like the Qi Family is playing a big game of chess."
This feeling was also in the hearts of the others. However, they couldn't see through it at all.
Soon, it was seven o'clock. Most of the guests had come, and the ones who should have come had all come.
It was normal for the other three families to invite guests. Only the Qi Family invited guests with official backgrounds. ... He didn't know what the purpose was.
Huo Qiling looked at the lake in the night sky and frowned. "Lin Nan, why aren't you here yet?"
……
In the private room on the second floor of the hotel.
Chu Jinyi said with a straight face, "Master Qi, what do you mean by inviting Director Zhang from the Inspection Bureau here?"
Qi Chao smiled and said: "No other meaning, it's just that the relationship is closer"
When Huo Wenqing heard this, he silently got up and left. Then, he came to the staircase of the second floor and looked at the bustling crowd below.
"Brother Huo, you also felt it?" Chu Jingyi followed and asked.
"What is Qi Chaosheng brewing?" Huo Wenqing whispered.
"Yeah, it feels like he is trying to show us off. Today's matter is too strange, but I really don't know what his goal is right now." Chu Jingyi said.
"Look below, it has already been automatically divided into many factions. The merchants are all very far away from those officials, only a few went up to greet them" Huo Wenqing looked down and said.
"Does Qi Chaosheng want to say that those officials represent the Qi Family, and we are like those merchants who only dare to curl up in the corner?" Chu Jingyi guessed.
"After all, their ancestors are all border officials. We can't compare to them in terms of background." Huo Wenqing sighed.
"Sigh, I only hope to pass tonight safely." Chu Jingyi also sighed.
In the private room.
Chen Shaoan said to Qi Chaosheng: " Aren't you too obvious?"
"If I restrain myself too much, I will become even more suspicious" Qi Chaosheng said without thinking.1
"What other programs did you prepare tonight?" Chen Shaoan asked again.
Qi Chaosheng stood up and patted Chen Shaoan on the shoulder. " Brother Chen, you understand. One sentence is enough. As long as you support me and guarantee that you can leave those two families far behind, you don't need to worry about that. "
Chen Shaoan watched Qi Chaosheng's back as he left, and his teeth inexplicably clenched together.
Was this favor really going to be returned like this?
