Qin Fan was originally not interested in the important matters of the North Pole Gate, but when he saw Xiao Yiyi calling him enthusiastically, he couldn't help but chill the little girl's heart.
So, I walked over and sat next to Xiao Yiyi.
On the seat on the right, a very coquettish and pretty woman in a red dress glanced sideways at Qin Fan, snorted from her nose, with a look of disdain on her face.
"Is this the descendant of the Human Queen? That's all!"
Li BeiJi scolded with a cold face: "Beautiful, don't be rude!"
This is Li Meili, the daughter of Li Bei Bei's eldest son Li Shan, and the cousin of Li Wanqing.
Xiao Yiyi made a disgusted face at Li Meili.
Qin Fan treated her like air and rubbed Xiao Yiyi's forehead with a smile.
Li BeiJi cupped his fists and saluted Qin Fan: "Master Qin, please forgive me, these children are so rude."
Qin Fan said calmly: "It's okay, Mr. Li should hurry up and discuss the business!"
Li BeiJi nodded in greeting, then looked at everyone and said, "The day after tomorrow is King Da Qian's birthday. I wanted to go and celebrate his birthday, but I didn't receive the invitation. Let's brainstorm and come up with a solution."
Li Shan, who was short and fat and looked like a landowner, stood up and said with a smile: "Father, my beautiful fiancé happened to have sent an invitation to the birthday banquet of King Daqian. We can go directly the day after tomorrow."
Li Meili immediately raised her head, her face full of pride.
Li BeiJi was overjoyed: "It's such a coincidence. It's great!"
Li Shan said: "Father, have you forgotten that your beautiful fiancé is the son of a fourth-grade prefect?"
"Yes, yes, I almost forgot about this. Is it the young man named Qian?" Li BeiJi said with a smile.
"That's right, it's the only son of the prefect, Qian Zhili." Li Shan said with a smile. Although there was no exaggeration in his expression, everyone could see that he was showing off.
Li Wanqing's father, Li Yuan, looked ugly. The eldest brother was in the limelight this time.
He couldn't help but look at his daughter and sighed: "Wanqing, how is your appearance worse than your cousin's? What kind of person are you looking for?"
Li Wanqing said with a stubborn look: "Father, don't always think of using my marriage to make a deal. My husband does not seek wealth, but he must be what I like."
Li Yuan advised: "I am a person who has been here. Those things you young people have, you will find in the future that they are of no use at all."
"Marriage is a transaction. Later you will understand that I am completely doing it for your own good."
Li Wanqing didn't listen at all: "Okay, stop talking."
Seeing that the eldest brother was showing off, Li Dongze, the third child, showed a congratulatory smile on his face, but when he turned around, his expression immediately dropped.
"Humph, you're bullying me for not having a daughter."
Li Shan took out the invitation, walked over and handed it to Li BeiJi.
"Father, since it's a birthday banquet, have you decided what to give King Daqian as a gift?"
Li BeiJi shook his head: "I don't know much about King Da Qian's preferences. This matter will trouble Mr. Qian."
Li Shan said: "Father, don't worry, I will take care of it."
"However, there is only one invitation. How many people can we attend at most?" Li BeiJi asked.
Li Shan said: "Father, it's really hard for too many people to go. Why don't you let our family go with you?"
Li Yuan frowned, suddenly unhappy.
Attending the birthday banquet of King Daqian was a dream come true for a semi-commercial organization like Arctic Gate. Anyone who could go would be able to become familiar with the powerful people, which was the best opportunity to increase their reputation.
Li Shan went, but Li Yuan didn't go. The position of the head of the family may also change hands in the next step.
Therefore, Li Shan hurriedly stopped: "Father, this won't work."
Li Shanpi asked with a smile: "Second brother, what's wrong? Do you have a better way?"
"I know you want to go too, but there is only one invitation. Meimei must go with Mr. Qian, and I have to go with him. If there are a lot of people, you will definitely not be able to go."
Li Yuan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot and couldn't think of a good excuse. In a blink of an eye, he saw Li Shouyi next to Xiao Yiyi and immediately had an excuse.
"Brother, what you said is wrong! It's not that I want to go. For such an occasion, my second uncle must be going! If so, I'm afraid you won't be able to go."
"Why don't you let Meili and Mr. Qian take their father and second uncle with them?"
As long as Li Shan is not allowed to go, his position as the future head of the family will be relatively stable.
Li Shan's expression suddenly froze. Li Yuan's idea was so vicious that he even pulled his second uncle out as a shield.
He certainly couldn't refuse his second uncle to go, but according to what he just said, there would be too many people and he wouldn't be able to go.
However, Li Shan was quite thick-skinned, and he immediately laughed and said: "Second brother, don't worry, my second uncle and Xiao Yiyi will be fine too. I'll just tell Mr. Qian's father later."
How shameless!
Li Yuan cursed secretly in his heart, but couldn't say anything. He could only smile: "That's good!"
How could Li Shouyi not see the overt and covert fighting between the two brothers? He didn't want to get involved.
"I'm used to living in a small place. I won't go to occasions like the birthday banquet of King Daqian. If you're not used to it, you can go ahead!" Li Shouyi wisely stayed out of the matter.
Li BeiJi sighed: "Oh, it would be nice if there was one more invitation."
Qin Fan suddenly took out an invitation and said, "I happen to have an invitation here. If Mr. Li needs it, please take it!"
He didn't want to attend King Daqian's birthday banquet, so it would be nice to borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha.
Li BeiJi was overjoyed: "Oh, Master Qin actually received an invitation from King Da Qian, that's great!"
Li Yuan was overjoyed: "Father, then we can go together too!"
Li Shan's family suddenly became gloomy.
Xiao Yiyi happily took the invitation from Qin Fan and ran to Li Beigui.
Li BeiJi opened it and said happily: "Okay, great!"
Li Meili suddenly shouted: "No, grandpa, this invitation is fake!"
"My invitation has red letters on a white background. His invitation is obviously different from mine. Hmm, it must be a forgery!"
"Besides, with his status, how could he accept the invitation from King Daqian? Even you, grandpa, were not invited, so why should he!"
After saying that, she turned to Qin Fan and shouted: "You are so brave, you dare to forge King Daqian's invitation. Do you want to cause trouble for our Arctic Gate?"
Li BeiJi frowned slightly, Li Meili's words made sense.
Although he firmly believed that Qin Fan was a descendant of the Human Queen, with his current status, it was impossible for Qin Fan to accept the invitation from King Da Qian.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Qin Fan, even Li Shouyi and Xiao Yiyi looked at him doubtfully.
Qin Fan knew that it would be impossible for him not to explain himself.
"This is the invitation the Champion gave me when I came back. Mr. Li, just feel free to use it."
When the champion was mentioned, Li BeiJi's frown suddenly relaxed.
Champion Hou came to Qin Fan, he knew it.
However, Li Meili didn't know. She suddenly sneered loudly and said: "It's really ridiculous. The champion will send you an invitation. Who do you think you are?"
