Chapter 797: A banquet with hidden agendas
Chapter 797: A banquet with different agendas
Such a woman is probably very simple.
It is clearly written in the information of these big bosses that she is not very smart and has no scheming intentions. Compared with Su Tang, Li Lei's right-hand assistant, the woman in front of her is as innocent as a blank sheet of paper, without any threat.
However, it wasn't until they met her in person that they realized how wrong they were.
Maybe she was naive and unscheming, but when she and Li Lei walked side by side, they were so matched, like two dazzling stars reflecting each other, a match made in heaven.
Her influence on Li Lei is unparalleled by anyone else.
This is the greatest threat to other people.
And what about Su Tang? So what if you are more scheming? She always looks like a subordinate standing next to Li Lei.
Li Xiaoyao, who was accompanying him, opened the seats for the two of them, and Xia Ling took her seat. Li Xiaoyao, on the other hand, led several subordinates of the Li family and stood behind them a few steps away from them.
Li Lei sat on the main seat, looked around, and introduced to the big bosses: "Everyone here is a good friend of the Li family who has worked together for many years. I invite you here today for two main things. The first one is to tell you The head of the Li family has changed, and it will be me from now on. Please take care of me. The second thing is to let everyone get to know my Xiao Ling, the future mistress of our Li family."
The whole place was silent, and then a big boss laughed: "Young Master Li is so polite. Who doesn't know that you are young and promising? I have been doing business with the Li family for many years. We are all old acquaintances. From now on Continue to cooperate. It’s my first time to meet you, Ms. Ye. I’m glad to meet you.”
People like them rarely introduce their women to their peers in a serious manner.
Anyone who is solemnly introduced must be of high status and not comparable to playthings.
Many people looked at Xia Ling calmly. They knew that she, who gave birth to a son for Li Lei, might be qualified to influence the structure of the Li family in the next few decades.
Xia Ling smiled faintly in the various eyes and said nothing.
She understood that as long as she played the role of a vase, Li Lei would naturally handle more matters. Because she relied on him, she felt very relaxed, and her face, as white as jade, naturally showed a lazy and leisurely temperament. She is so beautiful, and her posture is not artificial at all. She has both natural arrogance and pure sweetness, as if she has never been contaminated by worldly dust.
Compared all the ladies present.
Many people admired in their hearts, no wonder Young Master Li fell in love with this woman - they have seen a lot of simple people, and they have also seen a lot of noble people, but to perfectly combine these two temperaments, she is really unique. of the first.
Such a woman should only exist in heaven.
However, not all the big guys only care about admiration.
Someone had a careful thought - Li Lei had just inherited the family business, and he was so young, could he really take charge of such a big thing? In the past, when the Li family was at its peak, they did not dare to provoke it, but now that the Li family is in civil strife, when they are at their weakest, there are always some people who are ready to take action.
A big boss named Wang Long spoke: "Second Young Master, you have just taken over the affairs of the Li family, and you must be very busy with everything. Recently, the delivery speed in South America has been really slow. Brothers are waiting If it doesn’t work, we’ll have to rely on the northwest wind! I think it’s better to open up a few delivery routes in South America and let the brothers do the transportation themselves. What do you think?” As soon as they came out, the atmosphere of the whole place changed. All delivery routes in South America were controlled by the Li family. Only the Li family transported various items, and other families had no involvement at all. Now, Wang Long wants to open a hole in the Li family's monopoly. This is tantamount to snatching food from the tiger's mouth!
There was an impulsive boss who put down his tea cup on the spot and planned to scold Wang Long, but was calmly pressed down by another boss next to him under the table and shook his head.
Many of them, on the surface, respect the Li family, which is true, but as the saying goes, there are no permanent friends, only eternal interests, let alone a place like this on the road. Countless pairs of eyes are staring at the Li family's large business, ready to get a piece of meat from this giant crocodile at any time.
Now, the opportunity has come. Li Lei has just inherited the position of the head of the family and his power is unstable. This is the time when they are most likely to succeed in seizing food. The first thing they have to do is test.
And Wang Long took the lead for everyone.
How could Li Lei not see what they were thinking? Hearing this, he simply said: "Slow down, just wait." This short sentence was more powerful than a thousand words, and it didn't even give any explanation.
Wang Long's expression froze: "Second Young Master, you are unreasonable. Brothers all need to eat. Do you want them all to drink the northwest wind?"
Li Lei: "What I say is the truth."
"You!" As soon as Wang Long slapped his hand on the table, several subordinates behind Li Lei suddenly pointed guns at his head. The subordinates behind Wang Long also reacted immediately and pointed their guns at the heads of Li Lei and Xia Ling. For a moment, the atmosphere on the field became tense.
Li Lei still just looked at Wang Long indifferently, without even the slightest change in the expression on his face.
Other big guys, look at me and I’ll look at you. Someone saw that the situation was not going well and came out to smooth things over: "Second Young Master Li, Brother Wang, please calm down. Second Young Master, Brother Wang are also kind-hearted. I thought you were too busy to help share the burden. Don't be angry, don't be angry."
Li Lei’s face was expressionless.
The test did not go well. They did not expect Li Lei to be so tough and would draw his gun whenever they disagreed. It's true that they want the Li family's business, but they don't want to offend the Li family severely. God knows what the internal situation of the Li family is today. If they are really seriously injured due to civil strife, it's fine. Standing at the top of the food chain of all underworld organizations? Offending the Li family is tantamount to seeking death.
Another big boss also came out to smooth things over: "Brother Wang, don't be ignorant, quickly apologize to Second Young Master Li."
Wang Long was pointed at a gun, and his heart was pounding. He understood that if he really killed Li Lei here, he would not be able to walk out of this door alive, and even the entire family would face the fate of destruction. And what if Li Lei was not killed? He couldn't even get it easier.
He originally just wanted to test it a little, but Li Lei's strong and swift reaction frightened him.
Perhaps he thought wrongly. When he was a young master, the second young master Li, who always smiled lazily, could become so tough after taking power, no worse than the old master Li back then.
Seeing that someone gave him the steps, Wang Long hurriedly walked down the steps: "Second Young Master, don't be angry, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Waiting for a long time, there are 4 more updates tonight
