era of power

Chapter 24 Engagement 2

In the Jinghua Hotel, Mao Qi stood motionless in front of the floor mirror. A middle-aged woman skillfully fiddled with her hair behind her, and two young girls were sorting out dresses for her. More than a dozen people came in and out of the room, very busy.

Engagement, this ancient ceremony, probably only existed in the old days two hundred years ago, but now it happened to me. However, this was won by Mao Qi herself. Her family has been forcing her to marry Zhou Zhengqi. She opposed it countless times. In no way, she had no choice but to come up with such a buffer.

Just looking at the solemn attitude of the family and the Zhou family, it is clearly held as a formal wedding. After arriving at the hotel, she has been restless and always feels that something bad will happen.

What will happen? Is it the underworld fight...

The * Maoqi at home knows that Huaxing Group is a commercial group on the surface, but under its bright appearance, it occupies half of the underground forces in Yidu and has been competing with Fuyun Industry. In the past, the Zhou family also came to propose marriage, but at that time, the situation in Yidu was the opposition of the two families of Zhou Kou, and the family was not very enthusiastic about it. Until half a year ago, an organization called Nightingale entered Yidu, strongly and even crazily impacted the status of the two families. After Huaxing suffered heavy losses, the Zhou family Then he took the opportunity to mention the marriage, so the family agreed based on various considerations.

It seems to be very reluctant to say, but after being suppressed by her parents, there is no room for Mao Qi to resist. Get married, you must get married! Thinking of his father's majestic reprimand of the underworld boss, Mao Qi's heart was bitter, and when she thought about his mother's eager eyes, she couldn't have the courage to resist, and her heart was weak.

Now, the engagement is approaching, and the invisible shackles that bind her tighter and tighter make her almost numb. All day, she has been fooled like a puppet, not resisting, not talking, and not laughing, and completely losing the cat nature of the past.

She was so busy until the beginning of the lantern that she suddenly was shocked: too much money! Where is too much money?! He looked around in panic, surrounded by busy people, but there was no trace of the person he wanted to see. Suddenly, her heart ached, and a feeling of almost suffocation enveloped her whole body, making it difficult to breathe. The last meeting half a month ago, if he was stronger, he should have eloped with him now, but he didn't have the courage after all...

grabbed the front of the dress, she walked to the window and looked at the neon street outside. Cars representing various forces in Yidu slowly drove into the street, feeling that everything in front of her was so illusory and made people enter a silent dream. Unconsciously, a tear quietly slipped down my face...

"Miss, what's wrong..." The middle-aged woman came to her side and asked with concern. Mao Qi was shocked, shook her head, walked back to the mirror, and let everyone continue to be busy around her.

............

At the same time, in the lobby of the hotel, some guests began to enter. When they saw familiar people, there were bursts of bold laughter immediately. Everyone got along with each other, met some new people after being introduced by others, and then formed a new circle. Networking is quickly accumulated on such occasions.

After Zhou Zhengqi arrived, he first apologized to the guests, then said a few words to his father Zhou Yunchang and walked upstairs. Today, I was too busy. The people of the nightingale were not very active. Fuyun and Huaxing were extremely nervous and had been dispatching troops. Zhou Zhengqi couldn't pull away and didn't rush to the hotel until now.

went upstairs, casually grabbed someone to ask where Mao Qi was, and then squeezed over there. Standing at the door and looking at the woman surrounded by a group of stars in the room, she was as noble as a goddess. Even if she just stood quietly and didn't say anything or smile, it made him intoxicated.

"You are mine!" Zhou Zhengqi snapped his fingers, turned downstairs, found Liu Yang, who was in charge of hotel security, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Liu Yang is his father's number one bodyguard, and the power of "Extreme Bright Fist" makes him always be invincible in close combat, while he, who has reached level 11 variation, is infinitely close to the invincible state. Zhou Zhengqi was very relieved that Liu Yang came to do the security work tonight. This question was just casual, and he didn't really want to ask anything.

Liu Yang smiled and made a reassuring gesture: "It's okay. With me here, even a fly can't sneak in. The whole street has been cleared. If the nightingale dares to do it tonight, they will be guaranteed to come back!"

Zhou Zhengqi nodded and turned to other places. He is a capable person, not the second ancestor who can only rely on the rest of his father's squander. Although everything in this hotel has been cleaned up by his own people, he still has to read it in person to rest assured.

When I went down from the second floor, I saw a figure quickly flashing across the corner of the stairs, and I couldn't help but be suspicious. He took a few steps quickly and followed him, and saw that the figure was still flashing and had entered the toilet by the corridor.

"Very professional!" Zhou Zhengqi frowned, pulled out the pistol he carried with him, and quietly approached the toilet. This corridor was not the entrance and exit of the hotel. At this time, there was no one. He tried to walk as gently as possible. As soon as he approached the door, there was a sudden sound of water inside, which scared him. He suddenly stepped out, raised his pistol flat with both hands, and pointed to the place where the sound came.

The next moment, he was stunned there.

In his eyes, a middle-aged man was bending down to wash his face under the faucet, and the sound of water came from here. Obviously, the man did not notice his appearance. It was not until a few seconds later that the man straightened up and wiped his cheek with his hand. Then he was stunned to find the figure behind him in the mirror. The two sides looked at each other in the mirror for a moment, and a trace of panic flashed on the man's face. He forced himself to calm down and turned around reluctantly with a smile: "Master Zhou, congratulations, congratulations."

"Do you know me?"

"Hey, how can I not know today's groom? Hello, Master Zhou. I'm Wu Guozhong, the head of the personnel section of the Botanical Research Institute. Fu Yun once invested a large amount of research funds for the research institute. I heard that it was made by Master Zhou. Lao Wu had long wanted to thank Master Zhou, but Master Zhou is a busy person and can only meet him today. It's better to meet him. Master Zhou is better than the legend. What a lust!"

Zhou Zhengqi took the gun with a smile, and the expression on his face did not change much, but he concluded to Wu Guozhong: the section chief of a small public institution somehow got into this banquet, and he was a good hand.

After confirming the identity of the other party, Zhou Zhengqi lost interest in Wu Guozhong, said a few perfunctory words, and turned back to the hall.

Wu Guozhong watched the other party's back disappear into sight, and then turned the ring in his hand and whispered, "The protagonist enters, pay attention to each unit..."

............

In the hall, the guests gradually gathered together. The people gathered here were a group of government officials such as the Director of Finance, the Director of Industry and Commerce, and the Director of the Security Bureau. A group of people over there were famous entrepreneurs in Yidu. Turning their perspective and found that another group of fleshy guys were talking about richness, and several groups of people were clear. , do not interfere with each other... At first glance, black and white people gathered together in the whole hall, just like a family portrait of the upper class.

Of course, not all the upper class people appear here, at least the consuls of Yidu City did not appear. There are many people who know the inside story, because the nightingale can gain a foothold in this city, and on the one hand, it is supported by the consul. At this moment, the people of the nightingale were ready to go. A group of people stared at the wall clock. At that time, the clock ticked towards seven o'clock, the child Ying raised her right hand and waved it violently: "Let's go!" In an in an flash, the whole nightingale went out and scattered into the territory of Fuyun and Huaxing in the city. Tong Ying also took the number one hitman Cao Yun and others, a convoy of seven or eight vehicles, and went straight to the Jinghua Hotel.

"It's a great honor for you to come to the wedding of the dog Zhengqi and Zhiqi..." In the hotel, the prologue of the opening of the engagement banquet was also slowly opening. Zhou Yun's slow and powerful speech clearly came out of the hotel lobby and spread to the street outside.

Qian Taiduo lay on the seat and listened to the sound made by the eavesdropping device. His eyes were not focused, and he didn't know where his mind turned. A battle between underground forces in Yidu is slowly starting under the night and is about to be staged...
