Chapter 540 [The cripter didn't teach me to bow my head!]
Three days later.
The funeral of the old master of the Xiao family was held in Babaoshan, including Qin Hongshan of the Qin family, Ye Shi of the Ye family, and Bai Hechou of the Bai family. Several bosses standing at the top of the pyramid of power all attended the funeral. In addition, some bosses whose status and status were not as good as them also There are a little more.
With the entry of the old master of the Xiao family, the war without gunpowder smoke gradually came to an end. The Ye family won the war, made up for the shortcomings in the army, and achieved the real sunrise.
After the funeral, the bosses from all sides left one after another, and only Chen Guotao stayed.
"Lao Xiao, isn't it too ruthless for you to do this?" Far from the cemetery of the old master of the Xiao family, Chen Guotao frowned and said to Xiao Yuanqing.
In the face of Chen Guotao's questioning and accusations, Xiao Yuanqing looked indifferent: "If you say I'm ruthless or ungrateful, the Xiao family can only do this point."
"You..."
Chen Guotao's face turned blue with anger, his eyes flashed with anger, and he suddenly raised his voice, "Well, even if you think for the interests of the Xiao family, regardless of the life and death of the east, why don't you let the east come and see the old chief for the last time, just let him bow and salute outside In addition, it's enough for you to do it, and you actually announced this matter! Don't you think this is too much?" I was not present at that time. If I was present, I would let him see my father for the last time.
Xiao Yuanqing said, with some doubts between his eyebrows, "As for... this matter has leaked out. I didn't mean it, and it's probably not the work of the Xiao family.
"Who would it be if it wasn't the Xiao family?" Chen Guotao is a typical temperamental person with a hot temper. He was so angry with what the Xiao family did that he completely ignored Xiao Yuanqing's leadership and talked in the way of friends and comrades-in-arms.
"At that time, the scene was seen by Ye Shi and Qin Hongshan. It is likely that Ye Shi instructed him to do so." Xiao Yuanqing pondered for a moment. He said, "In addition, there is only one other possibility."
"What?"
"Ping Donglai deliberately leaked it."
"How is that possible?"
Hearing Xiao Yuanqing's words in astonishment, Chen Guotao's eyes widened. In his opinion, Pei Donglai's situation is no longer very optimistic. How can he take the initiative to announce that he has drawn a clear line with the Xiao family?
"Although I let him draw a clear line with the Xiao family. But... I didn't let Xiao Kuang quit the winter and summer party he made. Xiao Yuanqing's eyes flashed and said, "In addition, he told me that he went to Xishan on the day of my father's death. On the one hand, he was worried that Xiao Kuang was out of control and there was an accident on the road, and on the other hand, he wanted to thank my father for everything he had done for him. He
"These things make me feel that the news is that he went out for a walk." Xiao Yuanqing sighed and said, "Although it looks a little incredible."
"If he really did it. What does he want to do?" Hearing Xiao Yuanqing's words, Chen Guotao's anger was much smaller, and his doubts replaced the anger on his face.
"I don't know."
Xiao Yuanqing shook his head. He couldn't guess Pei Dong's intention to do so.
......
Because he drew a clear line with the Xiao family, Pei Donglai did not go to the funeral of the old master of the Xiao family. To be precise, I am not qualified to go.
At the same time as the funeral of the old master of the Xiao family, he, who finished the morning exercise, drove to the Yanjing headquarters of Donghai Group as in the past three days. Several agents led by Long Wu followed him in a hauntary way, but did not follow him into the building of the Yanjing branch of Donghai Group. Instead, I waited in the car.
"Ping Dong."
When Lei Dapeng learned that Pei Dong was coming, he had already waited at the door. Seeing that Pei Dong came into the lobby on the first floor, he quickly got up from the sofa and greeted him.
The staff at the front desk were not surprised to see this, but the eyes looking at Pei Donglai were full of admiration or admiration - in their opinion, Pei Donglai gently controlled the Donghai Group in the grade, which was simply the rich and handsome among the rich and handsome.
"Go up and talk about it."
Aware of the strange eyes of those front desk girls, Pei Donglai smiled faintly and turned his head to Lei Dapeng.
"Good."
Looking at the smile on Pei Donglai's face, he noticed the inadvertent indifference in Pei Donglai's tone. Lei Dapeng subconsciously nodded, but... his heart was full of doubts - he really didn't understand how Pei Donglai could behave so indifferently at this time?
"Dong Pei, Minister Zhuang said that he had time today and could meet you."
Take the elevator to the top floor. After entering the office, Lei Dapeng took the lead in reporting.
In the past three days, he has contacted some key figures of the White Road Network of the East China Sea Group one according to Pei Donglai's instructions, but those officials, without exception, refused to meet for a variety of reasons, busy work, dinner parties, etc., but there was only one real reason - Pei Donglai fell into a desperate situation!
"I'll meet him at 7 p.m., and the place is up to you." Hearing Lei Dapeng's report, Pei Donglai raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing an imperceptible smile, as if he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Seeing this, Lei Dapeng felt more and more that Pei Dong in front of him was very mysterious, but he did not dare to ask more, but nodded and took out his mobile phone to contact Minister Zhuang.
At 6:30 p.m., Pei Donglai drove alone to a five-star hotel called 'Dongyue' under the Donghai Group. He entered the box and sat on the sofa waiting for Zhuang Yan, who served as the deputy minister of a real power department.
Just as many leaders like to arrive at the dinner, Zhuang Yan arrived at the hotel at nearly seven o'clock.
"Sorry, Mr. Pei, there is a traffic jam on the road." Entering the box, Zhuang Yan smiled apologetically at Pei Donglai.
In the face of Zhuang Yan's polite and false words, Pei Donglai was not angry, but stood up from the sofa with a smile and made a gesture of invitation: "Minister Zhuang, please."
Zhuang Yan smiled and took the lead in his seat.
After Zhuang Yan sat down, Pei Dong asked the mature manager who served himself to make tea and pour water, and then... after the foreman went out to inform the food. Take out a box of the newly released Greater China, pull out one, hand it to Zhuang Yan, and give it to Zhuang Yan in person.
"Mr. Pei, I'm really busy with work these days. I have some time today. Please understand the neglect." Take a sip of cigarettes. The bald Zhuang Yan took the initiative to speak.
Pei Donglai also lit a cigarette himself, smiled and said, "Minister Zhuang is in an important position. It's an honor for Pei to take time to meet Pei every day.
Pei Dong's words sounded in my ear. Looking back on what Pei Donglai has done in the past half a year, Zhuang Yan couldn't help sighing in his heart, 'Thirty years of Hedong, thirty years of Hexi'.
If he hadn't known the current situation well, he really couldn't connect the young man in front of him with the Pei family Yanluo, who beat Ye Tian and slapped the Ye family in the Yanjing Hotel at the beginning, and let the young master of the Ye family lose his official career!
The difference between the two is like the difference between clouds and mud!
Because Dongyue Hotel belongs to the industry of Donghai Group, coupled with Lei Dapeng's greetings, the hotel manager attaches great importance to Pei Donglai's dinner tonight. He asked the chefs to be ready early, and adjusted the cold dishes at 6:50.
For this. After a few polite chats between Pei Donglai and Zhuang Yan, the waiter entered the box with a delicious cold dish of color, fragrance and taste.
Those waiters not only look watery, but also are almost the same height. At first glance, they look like sisters. They wear unified cheongsams, their legs are wrapped in silk stockings, and their feet are old Yanjing cloth shoes, exuding classical beauty all over their bodies.
"Manager Wu, I remember the last time I came here for dinner, the waiters were not as beautiful as them. Is it possible that because Mr. Pei is here, you have transferred all the most beautiful waiters in the hotel? Seeing that six waiters with uniform clothes, height and good appearance brought cold dishes to the table, respectfully retreated to one side to bow and salute, Zhuang Yan joked with a smile.
The mature manager surnamed Wu has received a lot of dignitaries. He is not unfamiliar with the current situation and does not feel nervous at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "If you like, let them serve you next time."
When Zhuang Yan heard the words, he smiled and didn't say anything.
"Pei Dong, if you have other needs or want to make hot dishes served, just press the pager on the table." The mature manager surnamed Wu waved six waiters to retreat, and then took the initiative to open a bottle of Maotai. After pouring wine for Pei Donglai and Zhuang Yan, he smiled and opened his mouth to Pei Donglai. He was not as calm as facing Zhuang Yan before, but was a little nervous that was difficult to dispel.
It seems that... For her, Pei Donglai is far more awesome than Zhuang Yan!
"Good."
Pei Donglai nodded slightly. After the mature manager surnamed Wu left the box, he raised his glass and said, "Minister Zhuang, for our previous happy cooperation, let's have a drink first."
"Dreds."
Zhuang Yan's face is full of smiles. As a high position, he has participated in many high-end banquets. He knows the procedures well - important things are usually mentioned when the dishes are over the five flavors and the wine is over the third tour, and he just downplays the place, and then he ends up the mountains aimlessly.
But--
Today, it made Zhuang Yan dumbfounded.
After a glass of wine, Pei Donglai smiled and inadvertently raised his posture: "Minister Zhuang, if I guess correctly, you will come to eat with me at this juncture because you have chosen to draw a clear line with the Donghai Group."
"Uh..."
Pei Donglai's words of not following the routine made Zhuang Yan's mouth slightly open, and his smile stiffened on his face, but... Soon he covered it up, and his tone was slightly dissatisfied, "Mr. Pei, what do you mean?"
"Bang!"
Without answering, Pei Donglai lit a cigarette, spit out a mouthful of smoke, looked at Zhuang Yan with a smile, and said word by word, "Minister Zhuang, up to now, I don't think we need to act - that doesn't prove your IQ is high, nor does it prove that I, Pei Donglai, an idiot, what do
I heard Pei Dong Lai Chi again. With naked words, Zhuang Yan put down the glass in his hand and stared at Pei Donglai without saying anything.
For a moment, the box quieted down, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little depressing.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Pei, I also have my difficulties. Please understand."
Soon, Zhuang Yan opened his mouth and lowered his posture a lot. It felt as if he had been exchanged with Pei Donglai's role. "I can't guarantee the rest. There is only one thing - I won't rake backwards."
"You definitely won't."
Pei Donglai smiled, with a little mockery in his smile, "Because in that way, you are like tearing up with me. You know that with my nature, I will never make you feel better. As one sentence said, people's mouth is soft and people's hands are short. There is no free lunch in the world!"
Zhuang Yan was silent.
As Pei Donglai said, although he secretly drew a line with the Donghai Group and secretly destroyed some evidence, he did not dare to throw himself into the arms of the Ye family, but acted as a neutral faction because he was afraid that Pei Donglai would have a hand here.
"If I guess correctly, the other five people's decisions are the same as yours." Seeing Zhuang Yan silent, Pei Donglai opened his mouth again.
Zhuang Yan nodded silently, and then felt an inexplicable irritability and tension in his heart, so he lit a cigarette and tried to relieve it.
"Finally, when you come to see me today, it should be more than just to show my attitude and leave the field."
Pei Donglai slowly extinguished the cigarette. His voice was not loud, but it made Zhuang Yan's heart suddenly twitched. "The fight above is about to end, and the Ye family should be about to attack me - are you here to talk, right?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Pei."
Somehow, after hearing Pei Dong's words, Zhuang Yan felt attacked by a fear from the soul, so that he stood up nervously and apologized again, "I also had no choice..."
"Say it, what did the Ye family ask you to bring?" Pei Donglai leaned back on the chair, put his right hand on the dinner table and gently tapped, interrupting Zhuang Yan's words.
Zhuang Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "The person in charge of gzw wants to ask you to meet tomorrow."
"gzw?"
When Pei Donglai heard the words, he looked at me and sneered, "The Ye family is really insidious. I know that it is not easy to let the Donghai Group collapse, so I want to kill me with Shang Fang's sword, trying to get the top to share and acquire Donghai Group. If I refuse, the Ye family will have a reason to attack the Donghai Group. If I accept it, I will lose control over the Donghai Group. The difference between the two is just a matter of time.
Zhuang Yan didn't dare to answer, but he acquiesced to Pei Dong's words.
In his memory, in the face of this acquisition method, many powerful business tycoons once chose to be soft, so they gradually lost control of building a business empire. They just retired with a false reputation, and a few people chose to resist. As a result, they ended up in prison. - The top doesn't want to touch you, even if you do more things, it doesn't matter. If the top wants to touch you, even if you wash yourself cleaner than the virgin's blood, it won't help!
After losing the backer of the Xiao family, Pei Donglai's biggest reliance is the East China Sea Group in his hand. In this way, if Pei Donglai loses control over the East China Sea Group, for the Ye family, it is an ant that can be pinched to death!
"Go back and tell the official gzw that I'm going back to the northeast to sweep the tomb tomorrow, and I don't have time to meet him."
In the quiet box, Pei Donglai's voice sounded again, and his tone was as cold as ice. "In addition, let him tell the immortal of the Ye family that the lame man taught me a lot of things, but he didn't teach me how to bow my head in front of the enemy!"
