With Li Chengkai's status, whenever there is a wedding or wedding at home, the purpose is definitely not just to receive a gift or have a meal, but to use this occasion to make some human contacts, which can be understood as a business reception with local characteristics.
As a Shaba in the Soviet area and an old martial artist, Li Chengkai has great influence in the local area.
On the old man's birthday, there were more than a hundred guests at the banquet. They were all prominent people in the Soviet area, as well as bosses from all walks of life.
At 10:30 in the morning, the stage outside Canglanting Hotel has been set up. Actors from the performing arts company, wearing thin costumes, began to perform hard, and guests gradually arrived.
In the banquet hall, which was decorated in red and green, Li Chengkai's father, Li Xuegui, was wearing a red Tang suit and chatting with his relatives and friends.
At the dinner table, a relative from his hometown in the countryside looked at the luxurious decoration of the banquet hall and complimented: "Second brother, your son is really promising now. Doesn't today's meal cost tens of thousands?"
Li Xuegui replied proudly: "How many tens of thousands? It's not even enough to buy wine! At today's lunch, the wine we drank was Maotai, and the cigarettes we smoked were Zhonghua. They were all treated according to the highest standards! The standard for each table was more than 10,000, Including performances and other things, the cost could be more than 300,000 yuan."
"How much? Three hundred thousand?"
Others were in an uproar: "This meal has eaten up a whole house? We are farming in the countryside, and our hoes are smoking. At the end of the year, we won't have 10,000 yuan left! Brother Li, your life is now It’s really getting better!”
"It has nothing to do with me, it's mainly due to Dakai's hard work! When he had an accident and went to jail, the judge said that as long as he could pay 5,000 yuan in medical expenses, his sentence could be reduced by one year! I sold all the land in my family at that time, In the end, I couldn't get the money together! When I went out to borrow money, few people were willing to lend it to me. They either said that my son was not up to par, or they were worried that I couldn't afford it. In their opinion, one year of Dakai's life was not worth it at all. It’s worth the hundreds of dollars I borrowed.”
Li Xuegui said with a smile: "Back then in the village, everyone looked down on us. When Dakai heard about this after he was released from prison, he knelt down and kowtowed to me, saying that he would definitely let me live a good life in this life! I didn’t expect that this kid is so ambitious and can make his business so big! My Dakai is not only filial, but also grateful. Do you know the second boss of our village? He lent me a hundred yuan back then, and now his son is I drive for Dakai, and my monthly salary is 8,000 yuan!"
Everyone had different expressions when they heard this, because many of them had turned him away before.
"Let's not talk about the past. I also know why you came today! Isn't it just that the son of the old man is making money in Dakai, and he also wants to arrange a job for his own children!"
Li Xuegui looked around at everyone: "We are all old neighbors who are related by each other, and I don't even hide what I say! I asked Dakai to arrange the son of the second old man because our Li family owes him, and this favor must be repaid! And! It’s okay if I can’t help Dakai with his business, but I can’t cause any trouble for him! If you are here for a drink today, then I welcome you, but as for other things, let’s not talk about it!”
After Li Xuegui finished speaking, Li Chengkai's family of three also walked into the banquet hall, and everyone immediately gathered there.
Li Chengkai's wife, Han Juan, is three years younger than him and is very beautiful. Their only daughter, Li Chengcheng, also looks like her mother. Although she is only nine years old, the little girl is already very graceful and she is a beauty at first sight. .
Li Chengkai greeted everyone and strode up to Li Xuegui: "Dad, my son wishes you a happy birthday. I wish you blessings like the East China Sea and longevity as long as the Southern Mountains!"
Li Xuegui showed a little reserve: "It's useless to say this. Your mother passed away early. If you are really filial, then introduce me to another wife. This is better than anything else!"
"Ha ha!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
…
Outside the hotel, a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter commercial vehicle parked in front of the hotel. Then the two bosses from the south, accompanied by Wang Hu, Xiao Qi and others, and their bodyguards, walked into the hotel together.
In the van opposite, the God of Wealth saw the two figures. He immediately sat up straight and took out two photos in his arms: "Ye Fulai and Xie Guangzhi, these two are wealthy businessmen in the south and important partners of Li Chengkai. Take them into custody." Come on, Li Chengkai must be numb! Today’s target is these two people, control them secretly, and then take them away from the scene."
Hearing this, the six men in the car asked curiously: "Brother Caishen, since our target is Li Chengkai, why don't we just catch this B-raised person instead of taking such a big detour?"
"The case of the dog fighting ring has exploded, and the police are arresting us everywhere! My purpose in looking for Li Chengkai is money. If I talk to him directly, the effect will not be as good."
As he spoke, the God of Wealth took off his coat, revealing the chef's uniform underneath, and waved to Xiao Zhou who was driving: "Take the car around to the back door of the hotel. Erlong picked the lock and stayed outside to take care of him. Liuzi and others followed me. Let’s go, the flood will clear the way and destroy the monitoring along the way.”
"clear!"
Xiao Zhou started the car and quickly went around to the other side.
…
In the hotel, Wang Hu brought the two southern bosses into the lobby and walked up to Li Xuegui with a smile on his face: "Uncle, I wish you birthday and wish you great blessings!"
"Dad, let me introduce to you, these two are my business partners, Mr. Xie and Mr. Ye!"
Li Chengkai introduced the identities of the two people, and then asked Wang Hu in a low voice: "Didn't I ask you to take them to see its business? Why are you here?"
"I took two bosses around the Soviet District in the morning. They heard that the old man's birthday was today and they insisted on coming to give him a gift!"
Wang Hu paused: "After lunch, I will take them to Dongling in the afternoon!"
Li Chengkai nodded: "I have too many friends here today, and I can't take care of them. You must entertain them for me!"
"Don't worry, brother, we had a good chat."
Wang Hu agreed, and then led the two of them to the table in the front row: "Boss, please take a seat!"
By around eleven o'clock, the guests had almost arrived. The place was full of laughter and people, and the atmosphere was particularly lively.
At the side entrance of the banquet hall where food was being served, the God of Wealth and his party were already in place.
The God of Wealth pushed the door open a crack and looked at the noisy hall, as well as seven or eight people including Wang Hu and Xiao Qi who were guarding Xie and Ye, and felt slightly worried.
"Brother Wealth God, this matter is not easy to handle!"
A young man next to him looked at the two figures and said impatiently: "Either we go hard and arrest them directly!"
"Nonsense! There must be at least 140 or 50 people in this room, and most of them are Li Chengkai's men! Even if we can take people away by force, if the noise is so loud, the police will definitely come after smelling the smell. Once they guess my intentions, the deal will be ruined!"
The God of Wealth pulled down his mask and lit a cigarette: "No hurry, just wait."
…
At the same time, a commercial vehicle also stopped at the side entrance on the other side of the hotel.
Zhang Lang, with his face wrapped in bandages, put a knitted hat on his head with only his eyes exposed, and said to the people around him: "Please hold still when I start to attack later. Let's fight quickly and get it done." Leave as soon as you’re done!”
