On the evening of the next day, Ji Qinglin and his party changed into more casual clothes and headed to the night bar, not forgetting to take the coal boss along with them.
The night bar is closed from early morning to morning. The afternoon is a relatively peaceful bar period, and it really gets lively in the evening.
Ji Qinglin suggested that the change of ownership of the bar should not be handled with great fanfare. After all, this matter is not a publicity matter for Xichang District, and there is no need to make Xichang District unhappy.
Anyway, the news in the chamber of commerce spread quickly. Even if it was not spread deliberately, it would not take three days or so for everyone in the four chambers to know that Yese Bar was Ji Qinglin's property from now on.
The decoration style of Yese Bar is still the same as when I first brought Yu Ye to see it. On both sides of the word "Yese" on the screen above the bar, holographic projections of girls in swimsuits are dancing hotly while supporting the words.
Slogans like "Sexy Taoist couple, fellow cultivators with you, harmony of yin and yang, intoxicating beauty of the night" are scrolling below.
Looking at this scene, Ji Qinglin and Yu Ye couldn't help but recall that when they first met, they caught Sangfeng nearby. In the blink of an eye, they called "Master" for more than three months.
Yuye asked in a low voice:
"Master, do you want to change the decoration and name?"
Ji Qinglin raised his eyebrows and said:
"Changing 'Yese' to 'Jade Night' or 'Red Night'? Wouldn't it be too ostentatious?"
Hearing Xie Ling and Fan Yu behind him, he couldn't help laughing, Yu Ye pouted and said:
"Master, can you be more serious?"
Chi Ye: If you don't agree, you can change it to 'Chi Ye Se'. I agree.
Ji Qinglin replied seriously:
"The style should be a little more subtle, and the name should not be changed. Wouldn't it be nice to add the word 'night'? Besides, don't touch the brand name easily."
Pushing the door open and entering the bar, the nightclub has not yet started, and the lights and music inside are still soft and not agitated.
On the bar booth, a mechanical body was tirelessly tapping the keys, letting the notes flow out slowly like water. The resident singer seemed to be an omnic, too, with a melodious singing voice.
Surrounding the booth was a large circle of crystal bars, amidst the feasting and feasting, there were gradually more and more Qigong practitioners from the nearby sects, employees of the company after get off work, and gangsters from local gangs.
The waiters at the bar are mixed, both male and female, and most of them wear Tsing Yi t-shirts with a night-style look.
As soon as Ji Qinglin and the other four entered, He Xiuzhong came to greet them before the waiter could ask.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time. Elder Ji is here to invite you. The others have already arrived. Who are the two behind you?"
"The friends I invited to assist with management, you mean the others have arrived?"
"Pei Ruohai, president of the Xichang District Chamber of Commerce; Lei Qiuyun, president of the Xindong Street Chamber of Commerce, and Lei Qiong, the former president; Jiang Chen, president of the Nanhua District Chamber of Commerce, and Sima Shi, vice president."
Not to mention the other people who came with him, Ji Qinglin couldn't help but frowned when he heard this, thinking to himself, why are they here? And you came so early? He made himself look like the leader of the four societies. Fortunately, the meeting was in private, otherwise it would have been dangerous to be praised and killed.
Pei Ruohai wanted to be sure about letting his brother go; Lei Qiuyun was of course here to compliment the teacher, but Lei Qiong was just here to join in the fun; Jiang Chen would naturally not let this go if he had the opportunity to meet his master on official business. kind of opportunity.
Yu Ye next to him smiled and gave a thumbs up:
"Master, you really are yours. Do you want to be the leader of the Four Associations?"
It is unclear whether the Fourth Committee has any intention to cooperate, but one thing is at least confirmed: the Fourth Committee must give Ji Qinglin some face.
Xie Ling and Fan Yu behind him also became nervous when he heard this. He thought to himself, "Senior Ji, do you usually interact with big guys of this level?" If I had known I would dress more formally, now it's almost like going to a bar.
Entering the side door of the bar, the music and lights are blocked behind you. Behind it is a row of beautifully decorated closed rooms, the largest of which is a conference room.
Entering the private conference room, you saw Pei Ruohai sitting alone on the left, Jiang Chen, Sima Shi, Lei Qiuyun, and Lei Qiong sitting on the right. For those who didn't know, they seemed to think that there was a three-party trial.
Seeing Ji Qinglin push open the door and enter, the eyes in the room followed.
"Elder Ji."
"Qinglin."
"teacher."
"Master."
Jiang Chen's clear "Master" was the most eye-catching. Xie Ling and Fan Yu looked at each other and felt relieved when they saw that the other party was equally surprised.
Ji Qinglin is the master of the South China District President? President Xindongjie’s teacher? No wonder he could handle cases between various chambers of commerce so easily. If he didn't have to maintain his attitude in front of these big shots, the two of them would probably have yelled "What?!"
"I'm sorry to keep you all waiting. I didn't expect them all to come. It's really unexpected."
Seeing Pei Ruohai sitting alone across from him, Ji Qinglin didn't want to act like he was targeting him, so he sat down next to him.
The next step was the transfer process witnessed by everyone. He Xiuzhong, who was holding the contract, saw this posture for the first time, and carefully completed the signing procedures with Ji Qinglin.
After finishing, He Xiuzhong shook hands and said:
"I'll leave the night bar to Elder Ji. I wish the business will prosper."
"Thank you very much, Boss He, for letting me go. I don't have enough experience. Please be a consultant. I hope Boss He won't refuse."
"Elder Ji is welcome, of course."
Ji Qinglin turned around after hearing this and said:
"Thank you, Xiao Fan. I will leave it to you to take care of the rest. Why don't you come over and thank Boss He?"
Xie Ling and Fan Yu saluted together and said:
"Thank you, Boss He."
Ji Qinglin didn't know why, but before arriving today, Xie Ling and Fan Yu took the initiative to apply for help in running the grocery store and night bar.
It may be that they feel that their ability to handle cases is not enough, so they want to help themselves run the business so that they can have more time to handle cases.
I was happy to be a hands-off shopkeeper. Anyway, with He Xiuzhong around, the two of them wouldn't turn the night yellow, so I readily agreed.
When Pei Ruohai saw this, he cupped his hands and said:
"Congratulations to Elder Ji. Now that the matter has been decided, can Brother Yu do it too?"
Ji Qing Lin Xin said that he was the same as the kidnapper, and turned around and said:
"That's natural. President Xiao Jiang, what's going on with Vice President Pei?"
"According to Master's arrangement, he was sent out in the afternoon, and his arm has been helped to recover as before. According to the time, he should have arrived in Xichang District by now."
Although his disciple Jiang Chen thought that he should have his arm cut off so that he could have a better memory, Ji Qinglin felt that it was immoral to fight against each other, and there was no need to have a falling out just after he got to the bar, so he let Pei Ruotao go.
Pei Ruohai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this:
"Thank you, Elder Ji, for my foolish brother. You have called so many presidents here today. Do you have something to say?"
say what? Said that the disciple had just made himself the leader of the Four Associations? Or are you talking about fairness and justice in presiding over the Four Sessions in the future? That means offending everyone, so I won't do such stupid things.
But on this occasion, it would really be inappropriate for the presidents of the three guilds to pretend not to see him.
Hearing that the presidents seemed to have something secret to say, He Xiuzhong silently exited the conference room. Xie Ling and Fan Yu also stepped out sensibly. Yu Ye originally wanted to follow him, but as soon as he took a step forward, he was pulled back by his master. .
Seeing Master frowning slightly, he seemed to be saying: Do you still need to go out? Are you deliberately being angry as a teacher?
Jiang Chen, who had been watching his master, couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle when he saw Yu Ye suddenly acting stupid.
Ji Qinglin turned around and said:
"President Pei is joking, what can I announce? I just want to thank you all for coming today. But as a businessman, I sincerely hope that there can be less friction between the four meetings.
Your Xichang District President Pei is my friend, Nanhua District President Jiang Chen is my beloved disciple, Xindong Street President Lei Qiuyun is my student and boss, and Beixin District generally does not take the initiative to break out conflicts and can be ignored.
If you guys have any conflict, what if, I mean, if you ask me to help, who do you think I should help? So besides begging the Bodhisattva and telling the Buddha that I hope everyone can be more peaceful, what else can I say? "
Hearing this, Pei Ruohai frowned slightly, thinking that everyone seemed to have a much closer relationship with them than him, and he was just a weak "friend" here.
Moreover, these words could mean that Ji Qinglin didn't care about anything and stayed out of the matter, or it could also be interpreted as saying that he had to take care of her because they were so close, so he had to fucking say it.
But to be honest, Pei Ruohai naturally hopes that the four societies can be peaceful. After all, everyone is tired of this endless zero-sum game, and even the advantage is temporary.
But the Chamber of Commerce is inherently profit-seeking, and the services of the four chambers are very homogeneous. Competition and fraud for greater interests are inevitable. Otherwise, what should we do? Do we work together to share food from other organizations?
Although he did not believe that Ji Qinglin could pacify the Four Congresses, Pei Ruohai still recognized his attitude:
"Since Elder Ji said this, I also hope to be good to my neighbors. If the four societies can really coexist peacefully, there will be no great good."
Seeing the others nodding, Ji Qinglin picked up the hot tea prepared by He Xiuzhong on the table and said:
"In that case, let's have tea instead of wine and we'll make a gentleman's agreement: we don't expect each other to have conflicts, we just want to think twice when encountering problems and reduce internal disputes, please!"
Naturally, no one questioned this cheap talk without any restrictions, so everyone drank tea together.
Ji Qinglin had just put down his tea cup, and before he could ask about the follow-up arrangements, a waiter pushed the door in with a hurried expression:
"Elder Ji Ji! Something happened! You, your two subordinates got into a fight!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room frowned and wanted to ask what was going on, but after all, it was Ji Qinglin's territory now, and he should ask and handle it.
So they all looked at Ji Qinglin, but who knew that Ji Qinglin didn't ask what happened, but asked:
"A fight started? How was the situation? Did the two of them gain the upper hand?"
Thank you for your reading and support! (Ji Qinglin: If you have the upper hand, don’t affect the situation of the battle. If you have the upper hand, just try to deflect it.) Tomorrow we will enter the main plot of this volume~
