AWB Chapter 169 Not good! Hongmen Banquet!
Chapter 169 Not good! Hongmen Banquet!
Qi Tongwei's solution was undoubtedly ingenious. It was equivalent to using Hou Liangping as bait to lure the real target to appear.
All he needed to do was wait, wait for Hou Liangping to tip off in some special way.
Qi Tongwei is now a big shot in the eyes of the provincial party secretary Shen Guodong. Many people want to win him over and use various connections to invite him to a banquet.
Normally, Qi Tongwei doesn't need to participate because he is basically familiar with the network of relationships behind it.
But out of consideration for mutual respect, he reluctantly agreed to a few dinners.
Especially today's dinner, I heard that it was hosted by the boss of a company called Shanshui Group.
Shanshui Group was founded by Zhao Ruilong in the previous life, and in the later period, Qi Tongwei also had shares in it.
Qi Tongwei was very interested that an identical company appeared in this life.
I even thought of a person, Zhao Ruilong's second sister, Zhao Ruiling.
Zhao Ruiling's identity is not simple. In addition to his relationship with the Zhao family, his husband's family background is also not simple.
In this life, it is equivalent to appearing in advance and establishing the Shanshui Group as soon as possible.
To say that it has nothing to do with me? Impossible, I must not harbor such an illusion.
After all, Qi Tongwei was the decisive force that sent Zhao Lichun and Zhao Ruilong to prison.
It just so happened that she wanted to meet me, and I also wanted to meet who this Zhao Ruiling was.
Perhaps, today's dinner is a Hongmen Banquet.
Knowing that it is the Hongmen Banquet, you can't be timid. If you don't go to this banquet, you will lose half of your momentum.
Looking at the people who invited him, they turned out to be a few directors of the Provincial Construction Committee whom he was not familiar with.
If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the group that invited Ji Changming last time.
The only person I know here is Shi Chunhua, vice president of the Provincial High Court.
Lao Shi, Lao Shi!
Don’t you see a problem with this?
This made Qi Tongwei even more certain that this dinner must be a trap.
What is being tested here is not the courage of "going towards the mountain of tigers even though you know there are tigers there".
It’s the wisdom of routines and anti-routines.
Zhao Ruiling, you thought Qi Tongwei was your prey, but little did you know that you were the fish that slipped through the net.
Not only am I going to this dinner today, but I'm going to go openly!
……
At the end of the working day, a minibus stopped at the gate of the provincial government compound. Several directors of the Construction Committee and Shi Chunhua were already waiting in the bus.
Qi Tongwei hesitated for a long time before finally getting in the car.
"President Shi, where are we going?" Qi Tongwei asked knowingly.
"Didn't you say we were going to some mountain and water manor? I don't even know where it is exactly."
"Shanshui Manor is the former guesthouse of the Construction Committee. It has just been renovated and it is so great inside. You will see when you go there," said the initiator of the dinner, Liu Hongquan, director of the Planning Department of the Construction Committee.
"Director Liu, from what you said, you are a frequent customer?"
"We should often go to the front line of enterprises to provide guidance!" Liu Hongquan replied jokingly.
Such serious words sounded extremely vulgar when they came out of his mouth.
It also set the tone for the dinner.
Before getting off the car, Qi Tongwei saw a beautiful woman in cheongsam through the car window.
Needless to say, this should be the actual controller of Shanshui Group - Zhao Ruiling.
"Let me introduce to you all. This is the person in charge of Shanshui Group, Ms. Lingling! Look, our beautiful Lingling has specially worn a figure-revealing cheongsam today!" Liu Hongquan began to introduce.
Ling Ling? Zhao Ruiling?
This further confirmed Qi Tongwei's guess. Although he had never seen Zhao Ruiling in his previous life, the temperament of this femme fatale was exactly the same as what Zhao Ruilong described.
This time I came to the right place!
While introducing themselves to each other, they walked into Shanshui Manor.
This position is different from the previous life.
The Shanshui Manor in the previous life was built in a better located villa area, and this place is just a renovation of the old site of the Construction Committee Guesthouse.
The specifications have dropped a lot, which also indirectly proves that the Zhao family's financial situation is no longer as good as before.
Of course, most of the money was stolen by Hou Liangping, but few people knew about it.
Eight or nine people sat at a table that could accommodate twenty people.
This specification is obviously a bit excessive.
There is plenty of room for one more person to sit next to each person.
Qi Tongwei is a man who has seen "big scenes". If nothing unexpected happens, there will be beautiful women to accompany him halfway through drinking.
"Director Qi, how about our landscape manor?" Zhao Ruiling asked in a coquettish voice.
"Well! Very good. I've never had such a high-level banquet!" Qi Tongwei deliberately continued with extremely old-fashioned words.
"What about your Jinshan Manor?"
"What's Jinshan Manor? If you rank second in Handong, no one can rank first!"
"Thank you Director Qi for the compliment!" Zhao Ruiling said as he was about to toast Qi Tongwei.
"It should be mentioned that it is the lakeside villa that Zhao Ruilong has not yet completed. If theirs is completed, yours will definitely not be able to compare with it," Qi Tongwei deliberately brought up this topic.
Zhao Ruiling clearly felt his steps slow down, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.
I, Qi Tongwei, am the one who can kill people and destroy their hearts.
"But you should be thankful that he didn't build it. If he didn't build it, you would be ranked first!"
Zhao Ruiling tried his best to force a smile and came to Qi Tongwei.
"Everyone says Director Qi is a great talker. Today I've seen some of that!"
"After drinking this glass of wine, we will be friends! I will come to bother you often in the future!"
"It's my honor to be harassed by Brother Qi!" Zhao Ruiling quickly took over the conversation.
Qi Tongwei had been a leader for so many years that drinking was no longer a problem for him.
And there is a secret that is not passed on to others.
Don't rush to swallow the first glass of wine. Hold it in your mouth and gargle. This will increase your alcohol tolerance by half.
Moreover, he was very skilled at such tricks as exchanging water for wine and spitting into tea after drinking.
Therefore, Qi Tongwei was not afraid of being forced to drink, but he also had to pretend to be drunk.
Only after drinking enough can you move on to the next game.
"Oh, look how boring it is for me to toast alone!" Zhao Ruiling winked at Liu Hongquan.
Liu Hongquan also thinks the time is right and he can go on a "hard show".
Zhao Ruiling put down the wine glass in his hand and clapped his hands lightly. In an instant, several "fierce-looking" attendants came in from outside the door.
"Great!" Liu Hongquan couldn't contain his joy and clapped his hands to cheer.
This made Shi Chunhua from the court system a little confused. He looked at Qi Tongwei, hoping to give some advice.
"Tongwei, isn't this inappropriate?"
"Lao Shi, just come out and relax!"
"I'd better go home first," Shi Chunhua said, using the excuse that he had something to do at home, picked up his clothes and left.
Although Shi Chunhua's rank was not low, he was not the guest of honor. When he saw Liu Hongquan did not stop him, Zhao Ruiling pretended not to see it.
"Lao Shi, Lao Shi! Don't go!" Qi Tongwei said as he was about to go find Shi Chunhua.
Zhao Ruiling and Liu Hongquan exchanged glances. It seemed that Qi Tongwei still liked this kind of thing, but he still wanted to find someone to accompany him. Why was he pretending to be so righteous? Since ancient times, heroes have been unable to resist the temptation of beautiful women. They are all the same!
"Xiaoqin, Xiaofeng, when Director Qi comes back, you two will serve him!"
