As soon as Chu Tianci and Xiao Lianshan came home, they saw Yue Leiting sitting on the sofa wearing a very formal suit. When Chu Tianci came back, he hurried over.

"The injuries on both of your legs haven't healed yet, why are you running around?"

"Let's go find..."

Before Xiao Lianshan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Chu Tianci.

"I didn't hurt my muscles and bones, and I recovered faster by walking more. Lian Shan and I went out for a walk."

Seeing the understated smile on Chu Tianci's face, Xiao Lianshan knew that he didn't want Yue Leiting to know that they had gone to find Shen Jiangchuan, and nodded dully.

"Tianci, you change your clothes. I'll take you to meet a few people tonight, and you can check for me." Yue Leiting looked a little nervous and anxious.

"Brother Ting, I'll go too. It's such a big deal. I'll take care of you." Xiao Lianshan said sincerely.

Yue Lei Ting hurriedly smiled and waved his hands and said solemnly.

"No one dared to touch the people I went to see tonight. It's very safe. You should stay at home and recuperate. You won't be able to help you if you go, haha."

Xiao Lianshan was at a loss, Yue Leiting was obviously more nervous than seeing Uncle Gu, but he said he was fine, and was about to go back to the house, when he heard Yue Qianling standing upstairs and said angrily.

"Dad, you are not finished. You said just now that his wound is not healed and you should not walk around. Now you want to take him out. What are you worried about?"

"Look at what you child said, I might have harmed Tianci." Yue Leiting raised his head and said to Yue Qianling with a playful smile. "Don't worry, I will use your godsend for one night to bring it back to you intact, without losing a single hair."

"What...what is my godsend!" Yue Qianling blushed upstairs and gave Yue Leiting a look and ran back to the room.

Seeing Yue Leiting's anxious look, Chu Tianci knew that something was serious, so he went back to his room, changed his clothes, and followed Yue Leiting into the car.

"Brother Ting, who are you meeting tonight? Why did you ask me to be the gatekeeper? I don't know anyone on the road."

"Those people on the road still need your godsend to check them out. I'm not blind. I can still tell if it's a human or a ghost." After Yue Leiting finished speaking, he might be thinking about Shen Jiangchuan, and said with a weak smile. "When people get old, they tend to be sloppy when they do things. I remember when I was just messing around on the road, Uncle Gu told me that since you choose to hang out, you must not have feelings, especially for women, otherwise once you get tied up, you can do things. I will be timid about everything, I didn’t take Uncle Gu’s words seriously at the beginning, but now I understand, it turns out that I really have things and people that I can’t let go of.”

"Brother Ting, it's because you value love and righteousness, which is a good thing." Chu Tianci said with a smile.

"It's a good thing. If I didn't have you Aunt Lan and Qian Ling, if Shen Jiangchuan, a bastard, dared to grin at me, I would have skinned him long ago."

"Brother Ting, who do you want to see tonight?"

"An official!"

"Ah!" Chu Tianci was taken aback for a moment, then looked back at Yue Leiting and said in surprise. "Brother Ting, you're an asshole, why are you getting involved with government officials again?"

"The poor don't fight with the rich, and the rich don't fight with the officials. I have the money, but what can I do? Especially after the accident in the casino that night, I was thinking that Shen Jiangchuan dared to ride on my head, but there was someone behind me. With Master Huang as a backer, if Uncle Gu hadn’t come that night, the consequences would have been disastrous, but... Uncle Gu is already in his 70s, who can keep him and how long the old man can live.” Yue Lei Ting sighed and said in a low voice .

"Brother Ting, are you trying to plan ahead and find a way out for yourself?" Chu Tianci asked half understanding.

"I'm not old enough, and I've had a good time. I have nothing left to do." Yue Lei Ting suddenly looked at Chu Tianci seriously and said earnestly. "I want to leave a way out for Lan Qing and Qian Ling. To put it bluntly, don't think the world is peaceful now. If Uncle Gu suddenly stretches his legs and walks away, the road will be really messed up."

"Even if there is no Uncle Gu, the sky won't fall down. Brother Ting, you are still strong and can hold on, so there is no need to worry so much." Chu Tianci obviously didn't quite understand the pattern of **.

"Hehe, to be honest, before that night in the casino, I thought the same as you now." Yue Lei Ting patted Chu Tianci's shoulder with a cold hand. "But you have seen the fact that if there is no Uncle Gu, my hundred catties would be lost that night, and I would get along with you and Lian Shan, as well as Lan Qing and Qian Ling for no reason. The world has changed! It is no longer what it used to be They all talk about loyalty when they come out, and now they all recognize money, and if they have milk, they are mothers, and Shen Jiangchuan used to be considered a man of indomitable spirit, look at what he has become now because of money."

Chu Tianci nodded slowly and seemed to think that what Yue Lei Ting said had some truth.

"Brother Ting, what are you going to do?"

"It's not enough just to have money, but also to have power. This power is not a matter of how many people you have. No matter how many people you have, it is also a matter of shame. You have to have a backer, a backer who can support you. In today's words, It is the umbrella, who is the most powerful? Of course the official! As long as I have a relationship with these people, I can work hard for a few years with a single approval from them, and I don’t have to live in fear. Making money is still a trivial matter. Even if you offend others, if you lend Shen Jiangchuan another ten guts, he won't dare to blatantly confront the officials, right? No matter how many people he has, One phone call killed him."

Chu Tianci suddenly realized and nodded, still asking a little confused.

"Brother Ting, since you have an appointment with people from the government today, and I don't know anything about these interpersonal relationships and entertainment, why are you bringing me?"

"Huo Qian put in a lot of effort and tried every means to make an appointment. Is there anyone in Rongcheng who doesn't know what I am? The official is white, and I am black. You don't understand me, and I have an appointment with three people. They are all high-ranking officials who are going to be promoted soon, but I am not sure who to talk to. Godsend, you know how to look, so you can help me see who is destined for me and who is my nobleman, so that I will not say anything .”

Chu Tianci asked with a helpless smile.

"Brother Ting, how could you invite three people to meet at the same time? Such an evasive thing sounds like communication and entertainment. To put it bluntly, it means collusion between officials and gangsters. It's rare for an official in the government to be able to climb to this position. A few people are not careful and step by step. If you are talking in front of three people, you are blatantly bribing. Even if someone is willing to help you, and there are other people present, whoever you say dares to nod this head may even bite you back. , Bribery is a felony, using you as a stepping stone, these people will never blink an eye."

Yue Leiting slapped his forehead and frowned regretfully.

"It's bad, how could I forget this in my anxiety."

"Wait...Brother Ting, you have an appointment with three government officials. Do they... do they know each other?" Chu Tianci seemed to think of something and asked seriously.

"I know, Huo Qian has been helping me to contact this matter, but he has always been rejected. It's strange to say, but this time he agreed to the appointment very readily, without even making excuses."

"So, these three government officials want to see you...Brother Ting, you said just now that the three of them will be promoted. At this juncture, they are not shy about it, and they can still meet with you. It's a bit strange."

"What's so strange about this? Anyway, I believe in one thing. There is no such thing as a cat that doesn't eat fishy fish. Money can turn ghosts around. If they dare to ask for it, I will give it to them." Yue Lei Ting waved his hand indifferently and said proudly . "Even if it's a Hongmen Banquet tonight, you're still here, and you'll know when I get to see their faces."

The car was parked downstairs at Mingyuexuan. Mingyuexuan is a high-end restaurant for business banquets in Rongcheng. Dim sum, porridge, and Cantonese cuisine are all authentic, and the taste is authentic. As for the price, it is expensive!And it's quite expensive!

Chu Tianci had never seen such a high-end and luxurious place, and even Yue Leiting's magnificent villa paled in comparison with this place.

The scattered seats on the first floor of Mingyuexuan mainly promote snacks and a small amount of stir-fry, from morning tea to lunch, to supper at night, everything you expect to find. The private room reserved by Yue Leiting is on the second floor. The reason why Yue Leiting arranged the banquet here is of course Chu Tianci Knowing that he wanted to show the importance he attached to those three officials.

The furnishings of the private room are quite elegant and simple. When Chu Tianci opened the door, he saw that Huo Qian stood up from the chair. There was no one else in the room except Huo Qian. Even the dishes had been ordered in advance. Chu Tianci looked around It was found that the waiter had been screened out.

The dining table was filled with all kinds of delicacies, and it might not be too much to call this meal a sky-high banquet. Chu Tianci glanced at it casually, and there were more than ten kinds of hot dishes, and there were all kinds of dishes. But most of them are dishes that I have never seen before, and I was surprised when I saw the description on the plate.

Any dish is a top-notch delicacy that can be served on the table. Braised pork with plum blossoms and ginseng, braised Japanese abalone, grilled emperor crab roe with ginger and spring onions, grilled crab wings, steamed Dongxingban, and steamed chicken with cordyceps and seahorses are the prices of these dishes. Not cheap.

"When will they arrive?" Yue Lei Ting asked nervously as soon as he entered the door.

"I've made the call. It's eight o'clock, and there's still half an hour left." Huo Qian said calmly.

Yue Lei Ting looked at the dishes on the table and frowned.

"We invited them to dinner today, but they haven't come yet, why did you order the food first?"

"Brother Ting, you don't understand this. It's rare for them to be willing to come out to eat for the first time. If you ask them to order, they will definitely not order well. If I order first like this, they will act as guests and do as they please. Not embarrassed."

Yue Lei Ting nodded in satisfaction, pointed at Huo Qian and said meaningfully.

"Your brain is still easy to use, hahaha!"
