Those who could get a position in the Pearl City didn't have a strong background. In terms of the entire country, getting a job in Pearl City would basically allow one to advance triumphantly under the feet of the Emperor. Their future was boundless, and their official career was smooth.
But tonight, this group of big shots who basically occupied half of Pearl City's territory were all waiting for one person.
Of course, apart from them, the luxury motorcade that came in with Minister Li's car also made the big shots of the Pearl City quite frightened.
This was a rare scene. Even if the people in the luxury motorcade hid in the car and none of them dared to get out, in the eyes of outsiders, there was an earth-shattering murderous aura. In this early spring, which hadn't yet warmed up, it was as sharp as a knife and as imposing as a tiger.
What was a big shot?
The middle-aged driver used to think that Minister Li was the top. No matter how many people there were, there were only a few big shots left in the Pearl City who could surpass Minister Li. But even those few people were quite polite to Minister Li.
But at this moment, these big shots who were respectful and polite to each other were all waiting at the door in the freezing cold for a woman who got out of their car. There was eagerness, expectation, and a hint of subtle hesitation on their faces.
Ye Yuhua. The Queen of Yan Jin who was famous around the world at the end of the last century. Lord Ye, who had made great contributions to the economic construction of Hua Xia, was the apple of his eyes. The first woman of Hua Xia who inherited all the connections and brains of Lord Ye. Even the United States Secretary of State personally received her and praised her as a legendary woman.
She deserved a welcome of this scale.
One had to know that Lord Ye was an old man who had accompanied China to stand tall in the East. With his connections, resources, and influence, even the current leaders of the country would lower themselves to address him as Elder Ye or Elder Ye. Occasionally, he would go to Zhongnanhai to drink tea and play mahjong with the retired leaders.
The daughter of such a majestic old man, even if it was the group of old men who occupied the pearl, how could they dare to take her lightly? Of course, the power of this Emperor-level figure who rose in Yan Jin had surpassed the boundaries of ordinary businessmen.
A little girl who often went to Zhongnanhai with her father since she was a child, what would happen when she grew up?
There was a phoenix in the Divine Prefecture, occupying the Ninth Heaven!
Minister Li walked down the stairs with steady steps. He nodded to Ye Yuhua with a warm face and politely said, "Boss Ye, I'm sorry, Boss Ye. It's windy outside, come in and sit. "
"No, thanks." Ye Yuhua shook her head with a smile. "I don't want to block your door."
Nearly fifty cars were parked in front of the entrance, forming a dense black mass, as if a black cloud was pressing down on the city. Even if one was not afraid, it was still congested. Moreover, he didn't dare to chase them away. Who wouldn't be shocked?
Minister Li nodded obediently and said, "Then let's go in and take a walk to avoid the wind."
Ye Yuhua remained motionless. She lowered her eyes and said, "I've been exposed to the mountain wind for more than twenty years. I'm used to it."
She was still the person who cultivated in seclusion at Feng Ming Mountain, but at the same time, she was also the Yan Jing Empress who made all men bow down to her. Her words were not an imperial edict, but no one dared to disobey.
Minister Li clearly understood that Phoenix Leaf, who had once soared to the Ninth Heaven, was angry.
She was angry that he and Lu Dashan refused to save them. He was infuriated that the leaders who were hiding and did not dare to come out to greet the emperor tolerated Xiao Zheng being arrested.
Phoenix's anger was even louder than a dragon's roar.
Fortunately, the hidden dragon beside Phoenix did not lose his temper. Otherwise, things would be even more troublesome.
Which of the few big bosses of Pearl Tower who were pressuring Minister Li did not covet Phoenix Leaf? But covetousness did not mean that they had the capital. Speaking of the current Pearl Tower, there was only one person who had the heart and the courage to do so, Lu Dashan. In this regard, Lu Dashan had indeed fought for Pearl Tower. Even though he returned in failure and held a grudge for many years.
Minister Li's heart was like a mirror. On one hand, he was afraid of the old guys in the luxury motorcade, and on the other hand, he was narrow-minded and wanted to use the terrifying power of Phoenix Leaf to break the situation. At this moment, even if he was wronged and slapped in the face by this monk full of Buddha nature, he still had to put on a smiling face and apologize, "Boss Ye, please don't make things difficult for me. In case this night wind blows you cold. How can I explain it to Lord Ye? Won't he tear my bones apart? "
Ye Yuhua slightly raised her eyes. Without waiting for her to speak, the amiable-looking old monk smoothed things over and said with a Smile, "Call Fang Yihua over. If he doesn't come, this fire will not be extinguished. "
Minister Li heard this and immediately nodded as if he had been granted amnesty, "Good. I'll invite Mayor Fang over. You three, you should go in and have a cup of hot tea to warm your body. It's very unsightly to always stand at the door like this. "
The old monk smiled slightly and turned to Ye Yuhua, "We should do what we should do. Why do we have to make things difficult for ourselves?"
Ye Yuhua still had a gentle smile on her face. But anyone could see that the hidden power in this smile was not something that just anyone could withstand. At least, Minister Li could not withstand it. The group of high-ranking officials behind him also could not withstand it.
Phoenix Leaf's fire was the Samadhi True Fire that even ghosts and gods could not withstand!
After respectfully sending the three into the headquarters, Minister Li looked back at the "luxury" cars blocking the door and only felt a chill on his back. The headlights were like the tongues of cobras, extremely eerie and terrifying.
… …
"What!?" After Yen Teng-kuei knew what had happened at the entrance of the headquarters, he instantly jumped down from his chair, grabbing Xia Houwu's arm and questioning him. "Who did you say came?"
Xia Houwu's face paled, his voice trembling, "Ye — — Ye Yuhua."
Plop.
Yen Teng-kuei sat down on the sofa, his face filled with panic. "Why did she come? Didn't she become a nun? "
Zhao Chuan's expression was also extremely unnatural. Fiercely inhaling a mouthful of smoke, his face rigid as he said, "When Minister Li went to see Xiao Zheng, we should have given up — —"
Now that things had come to this point, who didn't know that he was acting in hindsight? Even Xia Houwu, at this moment, understood why Minister Li went to see Xiao Zheng.
"At that time, it was already too late," Yen Teng-kuei said bitterly, helplessly slumped on the sofa. "He did not save Xiao Zheng, but accompanied Xiao Zheng to eat. In reality, he was waiting for Ye Yuhua. Even if we took the initiative to release her, he would most likely stop us — — "
"What a good plan to release a tiger from the cage!" Xia Houwu said through gritted teeth. "We have all been tricked!"
"It's the Phoenix descending the mountain — —"
Yen Teng-kuei said, his face filled with despair.
Xia Houwu, hearing this, swallowed a mouthful of saliva. "I just saw an old monk — —"
Zhao Chuan's expression was strange, his eyebrows tightly knitted together. "The Phoenix descending the mountain, accompanied by a dragon — —"
The three people looked at each other, unable to make a single sound.
They knew, not only had they completely lost this battle, they had also lost Yen Teng-kuei's career!
