Lin Xiaozhu smiled but did not continue.
Everyone knew that Lin Chaotian arranged for Lin Xiaozhu to come here. And from Bai Zhengqing's tone, the reason he was able to host this top business banquet was also because of Lin Chaotian's accommodations.
What face was there to give?
Bai Zheng Qing's generation of veterans, whether it was the unparalleled Duke of Ye or the tyrannical and evil Yan Shichang, they were all much more confident than Bai Zheng Qing, and they were also closer to the core of the political scene. If they really wanted to choose a host from the first generation of business tycoons, it would not be Bai Zhengqing's turn.
But he still came.
This was because the structure of the younger generation had already begun to emerge. They were divided into three camps. His grandson Bai Wushuang's side, Lin Laoyao's son-in-law Xiao Zheng's side, and the mysterious Dong Zang's side. Although in the eyes of many outsiders, Dong Zang was so mysterious that he did not reveal his true strength, for a knowledgeable expert like Bai Zhenqing, he knew very well that not only was Dong Zang powerful, but he also had the most profound background among the three parties!
You can't even figure out a person's background, yet you can't prove this person's terrifying strength?
In fact, the best host for this banquet should have been Lin Chaotian. On the one hand, it was because he had enough authority and weight. On the other hand, Lin Huayin, who was qualified to compete, had no intention of competing. His youngest daughter, Lin Xiaozhu, was too young and had not officially entered this circle. Therefore, there was no suspicion of helping Lin Xiaozhu to take the top position. But he didn't come. Instead, he gave this opportunity to grasp the general atmosphere to Bai Zhengqing.
It could be seen that this was the result of the negotiation between Bai Zhenqing and Lin Laoyao. It was also a form of compromise.
The small building was too young and its foundation was too weak. No matter how strong Lin Laoyao was, it would be difficult for him to create a god. Even if he attended, it would only be for official business, and he wouldn't be able to obtain enough benefits. On the other hand, the Bai family. Bai Zhenqing felt that it was necessary for him to make this trip. Because Bai Wushuang had the least advantage among the three forces. Firstly, the Bai Family was located in a remote corner, far away from Sijiu City. Secondly, Xiao Zheng had just fought with Chang Yishan, and won all of them. He was in the limelight. But Bai Wushuang didn't make any progress. Relying on his family's wealth alone would allow him to live a luxurious life, but it would be very difficult for him to gain the recognition of the big shots from the inside out.
Therefore, even though he was over eighty years old, he still had to make this trip. He wanted to build momentum for his grandson at the banquet! He wanted to close the distance between him and Xiao Zheng Dongzang!
"Grandpa Bai. For the sake of the Bai Family, you really put in a lot of effort. "Lin Xiaozhu supported Bai Zheng Qing and said respectfully.
"Little girl. Are you mocking Grandpa's table manners? "Bai Zhengqing said with a smile.
"How could that be?" Lin Xiaozhu pursed his lips and said. "I don't know how much I envy big brother Bai for having such a loving grandfather like you."
His father was stern and harsh. He was definitely not someone who could be coquettishly chatted with. His mother, on the other hand, was good at scheming and calculating the gains and losses of benefits. He also had no time to confide in Lin Xiaozhu. Brother-in-law is a good person to talk to, but I can't get too close to him.
Speaking of which, when she was depressed and frustrated, she didn't even have someone to talk to. It was truly sorrowful.
"Am I not your Grandpa Bai?" Bai Zheng Qing said with a Smile. "Xiaozhu, come to White Town often when you have time. Grandpa will take you to eat delicious food and see the scenery. "
"That's a promise." Lin Xiaozhu smiled like a flower. Those who didn't know the situation would really think that this was a harmonious pair of grandfather and grandson.
…
"Xiao Zheng. I got the news. "Ye Canghua walked quickly to Xiao Zheng and said in a low voice.
"Hmm?" Xiao Zheng's eyes brightened. He knew what Ye Canghua was talking about.
Shang Yao, who was sitting at the side, also pricked up her ears.
She didn't know about this. Until the last moment, no one could guarantee who would host the banquet. But what was certain was that it must be an important person.
"It's not Lin Chaotian." Ye Canghua threw out a deep bomb. She said meaningfully.
Lin Laoyao didn't come. It was very likely that he had reached a tacit agreement with all the forces. And he had gotten enough benefits from it.
So, who would be so powerful that Lin Laoyao would give face?
"Who is it?" Xiao Zheng asked curiously.
"Take a guess." Ye Canghua kept him guessing.
Ye Canghua was here. Of course, Lord Ye wouldn't show up. Yan Shichang had just announced his retirement, and Shang Yao had to withdraw from the front line to some extent to support Xiao Zheng behind the scenes. It was impossible for her to do that kind of thankless thing.
So … Xiao Zheng narrowed his eyes and glanced at Bai Wushuang who was talking and laughing in the distance. He had his own plan.
It wasn't that he didn't like Bai Wushuang. It was that Bai Wushuang didn't have much of an advantage among the three forces. Plus, he was far away in White Town, and the so-called White Town Gang's influence in Yan Jin was relatively limited. If he wanted to make a name for himself in Hua Xia and even in Asia, he had to make a name for himself. He had to add fuel to the fire. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to win against Xiao Zheng.
It should be known that Xiao Zheng's faction had the advantage of numbers, elite soldiers, and strong generals. They weren't country bumpkins who had just come to the city. Instead, he was a rising star in the business world with great momentum.
"Old Lord Bai? Bai Zhengqing? "Xiao Zheng pursed his lips and asked.
"Smart!" Ye Canghua smiled.
Shang Yao was also startled and said in disbelief, "Is it really Old Lord Bai?"
"Otherwise, why would your father support Bai Wushuang in public?" Ye Canghua said with a half-smile.
Shang Jingtian had always been cautious. He always walked the path of moderation. He wouldn't cast a net if he wasn't sure of winning. This time, he must have figured out the situation, which was why he came out to help Bai Wushuang.
Shang Yao didn't mind Ye Canghua's mocking words. She pursed her lips and said, "Looks like we don't have any advantage at all."
Bai Wushuang brought out the first and second generation of ambitious overlords to help. Dong Zang was mysterious and unpredictable. He could talk and laugh with Lin Laoyao and had the full support of the Northeast King Linghu Duyi. The power behind him couldn't be underestimated.
On the other hand, Xiao Zheng only had Ye Canghua and Shang Yao's public support. He even completely broke off with Lin Laoyao …
Xiao Zheng didn't have the upper hand at all.
Shang Yao glanced at Xiao Zheng worriedly. But she found that the latter's face was calm, and she couldn't see any joy or anger. The red wine glass in her hand swayed, creating layers of dreamy ripples.
But when she turned her gaze, the worry in Shang Yao's heart was inexplicably relieved.
Because she saw that in the crowd coming from outside the door, except for Bai Zhengqing, who was surrounded by stars. There was also one who might not be qualified to participate for the time being. But she was definitely the girl with the most potential!
Lin Xiaozhu!
Xiao Zheng's sister-in-law!
Shang Yao vaguely guessed that Xiao Zheng had a deep relationship with his sister-in-law through a woman's sensitivity. It even exceeded ordinary family affection. Maybe this layer of paper would never be broken. But how could these men understand the little girl's mind?
So what if Lin Laoyao hated Xiao Zheng?
His will would probably be difficult to influence his daughter's attitude, right?
His eldest daughter was the same.
So was his youngest daughter.
As soon as Bai Zhengqing appeared, the long-awaited banquet officially opened. The venue was very lively, and everyone had their own plans.
