Chapter 2 Standing alone and winning this chapter is free

Li Mansion, located in the southeast of Luofeng City, covers an area of ​​several hundred acres. [] Pavilions, terraces and pavilions are well arranged, glazed gold tiles, red lacquer doors, majestic stone carvings such as lions and unicorns can be seen everywhere, guarding the feng shui and luck in the Li family mansion.There are all kinds of exotic flowers and plants in the back garden, and there are many flowers blooming in full bloom in the cold winter.

Within the Li Mansion, there are hundreds of guards who are responsible for the security of the Li Manor, and as many as a thousand servants who are responsible for daily chores. Such a huge family business naturally has a shrewd butler. He is Li Fu, who manages Li Fu. There are more than a thousand people in the mansion, running Li's mansion up and down in an orderly manner.

Li Fu squinted his small eyes and looked up and down Lu Sheng and Zhu Xin. Lu Sheng felt that the sight from Li Fu's eyes was like a sharp blade, and it swept away his clothes... He couldn't help but slapped shiver.

Li Fu seemed to be very satisfied with the reactions of Lu Sheng and Zhu Xin, nodded slowly, and shouted to the people behind him: "Li Tian finds two sets of clean clothes and takes these two boys to take a bath. Don't embarrass the Li family, vacate the woodshed by the way, and the two of them will sleep in the woodshed from now on."

The servants behind Steward Li hurriedly bent down and replied, "Okay! The villain will do it now. Don't worry, Steward Li!"

Putting on the clean clothes of the Li family, Lu Sheng and Zhu Xin were taken to the firewood room, where they were responsible for some trivial matters of chopping firewood and lighting the fire. Wake up to chop firewood, the thick cold air in the early morning penetrates directly to the bone marrow, and the frozen Lu Sheng trembles.

Humph!Humph!Humph!

There were bursts of sound of martial arts practice in the courtyard, the voice was vigorous and vigorous, the strength of the guards who came to Li's house should not be underestimated, Lu Sheng's attention was also attracted by the humming sound.

In fact, Lu Sheng is not very interested in martial arts. He thinks that this is the work of a reckless man.

Seeing that Guard Li raised his hand vigorously, the movements of more than a hundred guards suddenly stopped in unison, and looked at Guard Li respectfully.

"Today, the Li family will mainly go to the Zhaixing Building to participate in the Southern Chamber of Commerce held every four years. At that time, every prominent family in the South will participate in the meeting. This year is different from the past. It is said that the situation may change. Please put your mind at ease Highlights. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" more than a hundred guards replied in unison, their voices soaring into the sky.

Guard Li nodded in satisfaction, and stood respectfully at the top of the line. At this time, the patriarch of the Li family had already carried out the big sedan chair from the inner courtyard. Behind the big sedan chair were four men in black clothes, all of whom were eight feet long and sturdy. Standing like a pine, with a steady momentum, there was a clear sense of fear in the eyes of Li Huwei guarding the four people.

The sedan chair stopped in front of Guard Li, and Li Fu hurriedly stepped forward to pull the curtain of the sedan chair aside. Li Nantian, the patriarch of the Li family, stepped out of the sedan chair. Li Nantian, who had not yet reached the age of forty, was very heroic, with thick sword eyebrows, The bridge of the nose is high and straight, giving people a sense of calm and unobservable.

"Has Meng'er come?" Li Nantian asked Li Fu.

"Return to Master, the eldest lady is washing and dressing, and she will be here soon." Li Fu replied respectfully.

"Go and urge her, the meeting will start in one hour, as a representative of the Chamber of Commerce, you must never be late." Li Nantian's voice was not loud, but he was very dignified.

"I'm going right now, villain." After Li Fu finished speaking, he bowed and rushed to the eldest lady's boudoir.

After a cup of tea, the eldest lady came to Li Nantian under the leadership of Li Fu. Lu Sheng looked carefully at the young lady of the Li family through the woodshed. Lu Sheng couldn't help but gasped, how beautiful it was Such a person, with clear eyes, Emei cloud temples, skin as white as fat, lips as red as cherries, Lu Sheng has never seen such a little beauty, with twinkling eyes, he dare not look directly.This is Li Mengyun, the eldest daughter of the Li family.

Li Mengyun's red lips parted slightly, revealing a row of white teeth, and said: "It's not impossible for me to go, but I want to bring someone with me."

Li Nantian nodded in agreement.

Li Mengyun walked straight to the firewood room, which made everyone's eyes widen. Li Nantian also looked at Li Mengyun suspiciously, but Li Fu followed the eldest lady closely, for fear of making a mistake.

Seeing Miss Li's family coming this way, Lu Sheng quickly turned around and pretended to chop wood with Zhu Xin.

"It's you, what's your name?" Li Mengyun pointed to Lu Sheng and asked.

"Little man Lu Sheng... no... Li Sheng, what do you want the eldest lady to order?".

Lu Sheng had to change his surname to Li as soon as he entered Li's residence. Although he was reluctant to do so, he couldn't help it. He just vowed secretly that he would have his own surname in the future.

"Li Sheng, you don't have to work in this woodshed today. Missy is going to attend the business alliance meeting, and she has specified that she will take you there. It is your good fortune to be picked up by Missy, do you understand?" Li Fu said to Lu Lu said the student.

"My villain understands, thank you, Mr. Butler, for reminding me." Although Lu Sheng was puzzled in his heart as to why the eldest lady called him, he didn't dare to ask further questions.I also learned a lot by eavesdropping on the character talks of those scholars. I know how to advance and retreat.

Li Fu nodded in satisfaction, and followed Li Mengyun out. Lu Sheng hurriedly followed, but he was secretly thinking, this Southern Business Alliance Conference is a grand meeting every four years, and Jingyang Province is the economic center of the South. The governor also attaches great importance to the meeting, which has not changed for many years, but this time Li Nantian even brought the young lady with him, so I am a little puzzled.

Although Lu Sheng had all kinds of doubts in his heart, he didn't dare to ask more questions. As a servant who just entered Li's residence, it is better to behave honestly.

Zhaixing Tower, an extremely delicate and elegant pavilion. The name of the building is called Zhaixing, which means that you can pick stars. Although the name is so, the building is not. Beautiful, the roof edges and corners echo each other.

Li Nantian and his group came to the fourth floor of the Zhaixing Building, and everyone's eyes immediately turned to this side. This is the newly added president of the chamber of commerce this year. In previous years, there was only one president of the chamber of commerce, but this year there was another one. There is even a rumor that the governor and the former president of the chamber of commerce have a disagreement. Everyone understands its tricks, and most of them are watching with a playful attitude.

From the outside, Zhaixing Building doesn't feel very big, but when you walk in it, you can find that it's fairly open and bright, and hundreds of people gather here without any sign of congestion.

There are long tables all around, and the famous business leaders from the southern provinces all have a seat, and the governor of Nanyang Province sits in the center of the west, which means a high position, and the seat next to the left hand of the governor is The other president of the Chamber of Commerce, Qian Wanwan, was born in a business family with a big business, and he is a person who can walk sideways in Jingyang Province.The seat on the right of the governor is vacant, and it is naturally reserved for the second president of the chamber of commerce, Li Nantian.

Li Nantian walked to the seat calmly, cupped his fists at all the businessmen around him, and sat down cross-legged. Li Mengyun sat next to him, with icy muscles and bones, like a fairy falling from the sky.

Since Li Mengyun took her seat, the young man next to the Governor has been staring at her. That man is Jiang Xian, the son of the Governor Jiang Yang. Jiang Xian is thin and his face is as white as a dead fish. In the midst of the wind and dust, Li Mengyun frowned, very disgusted with Jiang Xian's gaze.

The governor cleared his throat, and said: "Our great country of Donglong inherits the destiny, and the people can enjoy peace and well-being through the blessing of Long Live. You can come from the business network in the south. The chamber of commerce, which used to be lonely and lonely, is now prosperous and prominent. For example, thousands of flowers are blooming, and the crowd is competing for beauty. Therefore, this year, the chamber of commerce has added a president, Nan Tian, ​​the owner of the Li family. I hope that President Li and President Qian will strengthen business contacts and seek for the people of Donglong Kingdom. More blessings."

"That's natural. As the new chairman, Li will do his best to serve the people. I will ask Chairman Qian to take care of him in the future." Li Nantian said to Qian Wanwan with a smile.

Qian Wanwan rubbed his shy belly, and smiled at Li Nantian, showing his two big yellow front teeth: "President Li is humble, everyone knows that President Li is very talented and resourceful. , it is the luck of Qian's life to be able to ask you for advice."

The two usually fight openly and covertly in business, haggling over every detail, and chatting in such a public place is like an old friend they haven't seen for many years, which really shows the deep scheming of the two.

The people in the four seats also know it well, but no one will expose it. It is natural that these people have been in the business world for so many years and even become business tycoons.Now Li Nantian and Qian Wanwan are the two giants in the Southern Chamber of Commerce, and others dare not offend them.

Although the flowers bloom side by side, it is beautiful, but it is not as good as a single flower.The so-called one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, the world knows this truth.

"President Li, everyone knows that the southern cloth market has always been controlled by my Qian family, and anyone else who wants to get involved must obtain my permission and give me 400% of the proceeds. The two-tier share of the entire market robbed me of [-] million taels of silver in one year, is this inappropriate?" After a few glasses of wine, Qian Wanwan couldn't hold his breath anymore, and questioned Li Nantian.

"Hahaha, it's easy to say, we are all our own people, don't hurt your peace because of these small things, at worst, I will share [-]% of my share in the private salt market with you, and get rich together." Li Nantian smiled softly. Said without smiling.

Qian Wanwan knew in his heart that what Li Nantian said casually now would not be fulfilled at all.But it didn't work well either.

When everyone saw this situation, they just pretended not to see each other, and just discussed some business matters with the people around them. The four-year business conference ended after two hours of communication.

Qian Wanwan was very annoyed at this meeting, but it was not easy to get angry, and the chamber of commerce left the star picking building as soon as it was over.

Li Nantian left with a million dollars, whispered to the governor for a while, and walked out with his guards, and the rest of the people also walked out one after another. Only Li Fu, Li Mengyun and Lu Sheng were left in the entire huge star picking building. , and Governor General Jiang Yang and Jiang Xian.
