Zhao Siye made his debut at the age of sixteen and established his reputation at the age of twenty. He has been roaming the world for more than forty years now. He was fully deserving of being the leader of the Pearl Sect, a veteran who was revered by various forces. Ever since he held his first grand birthday banquet at the age of fifty, Zhao Si Ye's birthday banquet would become the liveliest gathering in the underworld every year. Not only the big brothers of the Pearl City, but even the famous big shots of the surrounding areas also came to congratulate them. It could be said that a hundred flowers were blooming, and it was an extraordinary grand occasion.
Today was Mister Zhao's sixtieth birthday. Mister Zhao, who was over sixty years old, threatened to hold a grand birthday banquet and invited heroes from all over the world to participate. In order to entertain the guests from all over the country, the old master spent a lot of money and spent a total of 100 million to reserve the entire Pearl No.1. He wanted to make sure that the guests would return home with great satisfaction. His generosity was truly shocking.
"The entire Pearl One?" Xiao Zheng's heart was filled with mixed feelings as he said sourly. "The old man really has too much money to burn."
"Zhao Laosi really doesn't lack money." Black Bear lit a cigarette and grinned. "All these years, he can earn hundreds of millions just from his legal businesses, not to mention those highly profitable illegal businesses. According to statistics, the old man had a net worth of ten billion a few years ago. However, most of his wealth could not be seen in the light of day, so he had never published it in the newspapers to brag about it. Otherwise, with his flamboyant personality, he would have gone around showing off already. "
Flicking the cigarette ash, Xiao Zheng glanced at Hei Xiong, who was dressed like a nouveau riche, and teased, "You're not bad yourself. You're wearing branded clothes and driving a luxury car. You must have earned quite a bit over the years, right?"
Black Bear scratched his head and laughed foolishly: "It's all because of Brother Ye's leadership. Otherwise, how could I have such a good life?"
Xiao Zheng nodded with a smile and said, "Even if you have money, you should keep a low profile. The saying 'the bird that sticks out' will never go out of style."
"Understood." Black Bear nodded heavily, obeying Xiao Zheng's every word.
After Xiao Zheng promised Lin Xiaozhu to attend Zhao Laosi's birthday party tonight, the three of them chose a drink shop in a more accessible location to drink. On one hand, they were reminiscing about the old days, and on the other hand, they were waiting for the feast that night. Unlike Lin Xiaozhu, who has been longing for the famous Mister Zhao for a long time, Xiao Zheng is not very interested. As early as five years ago, Xiao Zheng was recognized by Mister Zhao because he made a name for himself in the underworld. Xiao Zheng, who had no interest in this, did not rely on anyone. Instead, he went abroad to make money.
But what puzzled Xiao Zheng was that Ye Shiguan, who was supposed to lead the team to seek refuge with Mister Zhao, did not choose the strongest boss in Pearl City. Instead, he turned to Master Long, who had been suppressed by Mister Zhao for more than a decade. Because of this, Mister Zhao even mocked Ye Shiguan in public for being blind and not knowing what was good for him!
However, it turned out that after Ye Shiguan followed Master Long, not only did he not suffer a disastrous decline, but he also took advantage of the situation and became a big shot who stood side by side with Mister Zhao. Especially after the accidental death of Master Long two years ago, Ye Shiguan became the well-deserved head of the sect. His power surged, and he faintly threatened Mister Zhao's iron foundation.
Back then, Xiao Zheng did not understand Ye Shiguan's choice. Now, he more or less understood Ye Shiguan's good intentions. He was shocked by Ye Shiguan's shrewdness and foresight.
Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix!
These words were enough to explain Ye Shiguan's choice that day! A deeper level of Ye Shiguan's ambition was revealed.
Imagine, if Ye Shiguan followed Mister Zhao, no matter how capable he was, he would at most be a trusted general at Mister Zhao's side. How could he have the opportunity to establish his own sect? Moreover, Mister Zhao had many fierce generals under his command. How could those old and famous subordinates tolerate Ye Shiguan standing on their heads and pissing?
Following Master Long was different. Long, who had been suppressed by Mister Zhao all year round, lacked soldiers and major generals around him. He did not have a general who could charge and break through the enemy lines. In addition, Long himself had the opportunity to compete with the ambitious Mister Zhao. He was not a talented commander. Once Ye Shiguan submitted, wouldn't Long, who was already old, use all his resources to support his trusted general?
This was the reason why Ye Shiguan could turn from Little Brother Ye to the present Boss Ye in just five years, and faintly threaten Mister Zhao's iron empire. After Long left, Ye Shiguan, who was promoted to the head of a sect, advanced by leaps and bounds and became the most influential big brother in the underworld after Mister Zhao. The younger generation admired and worshipped Boss Ye.
Even rebellious high school students like Lin Xiaozhu regarded him as an idol. One could imagine how many earth-shattering things Ye Shiguan had done in Mingzhu in the past few years.
"How did Long Ye die?" Xiao Zheng took a sip of the iced coffee and asked casually.
Hei Xiong sighed, "That was two years ago. Long Ye originally planned to talk business with a group of Thai people. But halfway through, the group of Thai people suddenly turned hostile and had a dispute with Long Ye. In the end, Long Ye was outnumbered and was shot by the other party. "After a pause, Hei Xiong gnashed his teeth. "For this matter, Brother Ye personally went to Thailand and killed those treacherous bastards."
Xiao Zheng slightly frowned and said, "Long Ye has always been steady. How could he turn hostile with that group of Thai people? Is there anything hidden in this? "
Five years ago, Xiao Zheng and his group were both favored by Long Ye and Mister Zhao. They also had close contact with the two giants. Eventually, under Ye Shiguan's plan, they sought refuge with Long Ye and became the number one general under Long Ye's command. Xiao Zheng also had dealings with Long Ye several times. He knew that this person could stand tall under Mister Zhao's pressure, not because of his seniority and luck, but because of his mediocrity.
If Mister Zhao was like a ferocious tiger, then Long Ye was a dormant wild boar. He had a gentle character and would not easily make a move. But his skin was rough and thick, and it was not easy to injure his muscles and bones. Otherwise, how could Mister Zhao fail on the verge of success when he wanted to defeat him many times?
"I don't know the specifics, but one of my brothers escaped from the gunfight. He said that the two sides could not agree on the interests, and the other side became angry and suddenly killed him. "Black Bear said in distress. "If Brother Ye hadn't sent me to the north to discuss business, I would have followed Long Ye. Long Ye wouldn't have been killed. That group of bastards! "
It could be seen that Black Bear had always been indignant and resentful about Long Ye's death.
Lin Xiaozhu comforted him, "This has nothing to do with you. It was that group of Thai people who got in the way."
Black Bear fiercely took a drag on his cigarette and said with a grin, "It's been two years. Brother Ye also avenged Long Ye. I have already let it go. "
Xiao Zheng patted Black Bear's shoulder, "Long Ye can have a little brother like you. It can be said that his life is not in vain."
Black Bear heard this and said with a smile, "Brother Zheng, you are wrong. I am just a small thug beside Long Ye. What he should really be glad about is that he helped Brother Ye to the top five years ago. Otherwise, how can we have the glory today? "
Xiao Zheng smiled and didn't respond. His gaze drifted to the gradually darkening window and said, "When will the birthday banquet be held?"
"Soon." Black Bear extinguished his cigarette and said to Lin Xiaozhu. "In a while, you will not only see Zhao Laosi and Brother Ye, but also many famous big brothers."
"I am already hungry and thirsty!" Lin Xiaozhu said with a face full of excitement.
"Girls, be more reserved." Xiao Zheng rolled his eyes at Lin Xiaozhu, who had no ladylike image at all.
"Oh — —" Lin Xiaozhu stuck out her tongue, looking cute and innocent.
After paying the bill, the three rode Black Bear's supercar to Pearl 1. It couldn't be compared to the first time Xiao Zheng took a bus, and the treatment they enjoyed was also like heaven and earth.
Although Blue Heart had spent a lot of money for the reunion of the two, specially choosing the golden area on the third floor to eat, and the cost of a meal was in the tens of thousands. But today, under Black Bear's lead, the three went straight to the open-air restaurant on the top floor of Pearl 1. Not only could they overlook the entire river, but they could also enjoy the cool and refreshing river wind. Holding a glass of red wine, hugging a beauty, life reached a perfect state.
Because Black Bear appeared, the three didn't encounter any obstructions. Lin Xiaozhu was especially excited to greet many big brother level people in Pearl 1. She was familiar with them. The little girl almost fainted from happiness.
"Brother-in-law, did you see that? That handsome guy with long hair just now is the gang leader of our First High School, people call him Leopard Head. "Lin Xiaozhu explained with a lisp.
"Leopard Head?" Xiao Zheng lit a cigarette, took a glass of red wine from the tray, and asked curiously. "He doesn't have freckles on his face, why is he called Leopard Head?"
"Because he is ruthless and fast. When he fights, he is like a leopard, extremely savage." Lin Xiaozhu said seriously.
Xiao Zheng shook his head with a bitter smile, and asked: "Didn't mom and dad give him a name? Do they have to rely on their nickname to be an animal? "
"Brother Zheng. It's fine if you scold him, but why bring me in? "Black Bear rubbed his nose, looking innocent.
"Hahaha —"
Xiao Zheng and Lin Xiaozhu laughed together, and the atmosphere was joyful and harmonious.
The three went all the way to the top of the open-air Pearl No.1, and suddenly opened up in front of them, full of red and green lights, dazzling gold and jade.
According to the design of the cruise, the top floor of the Pearl No.1 was definitely smaller than the first and second floors, but as the most luxurious banquet venue in Pearl 1, the usable area of the top floor was not as big as the downstairs, but it was extremely magnificent. Not only could they see the night view of the river, but the craftsmanship was also uncanny, which was an eye-opener.
When the three went up to the top floor, half of the guests had arrived at the banquet venue. The men were well-dressed, and the women were graceful. It was like a grand banquet of the upper class, very intoxicating.
Being in such a banquet venue, people did not feel bored, nor would they feel noisy. Because no matter how loud the noise was, it would be covered by the comfortable river wind. Moreover, on both sides of the cruise, there were many small, semi-arc balconies. It could be used for three to five friends to chat in private, for one, for peace, and two, to prevent being hit on. It was a good formation of private territory, which could not be violated.
Because Xiao Zheng lived a simple life all year round, he naturally did not like too busy venues. As soon as he entered the banquet venue, he chose a balcony at the back and sat down, enjoying the river wind and drinking red wine, very leisurely and comfortable.
But he wanted peace, Lin Xiaozhu, who came to join in the fun, did not think so. As soon as she came in, she pulled Black Bear to help her introduce the big brothers, and she enjoyed it very much. Fortunately, Black Bear had a prominent reputation, and he unilaterally recognized Lin Xiaozhu as his little sister. Otherwise, those big brothers who saw her would not let go of Lin Xiaozhu, such a stunning beauty.
Xiao Zheng had a magnified version of Lin Huayin as a comparison, plus he was not interested in Lin Xiaozhu, a little girl who had not yet grown up, so he ignored the beauty of the little girl. Otherwise, with Lin Xiaozhu's beauty, whether it was in the lower nine streams or the upper nine streams, she was one of the best, a great beauty who stood out among the chickens.
Under the liking of the live performance team, the sky became darker and darker. At the beginning of the lanterns, a laser light shot from Pearl No.1 into the sky, dyeing the sky above Pearl No.1 with gorgeous colors, extremely dazzling. And the guests at the scene had also arrived, nearly three hundred people came to support. It could be seen that Mister Zhao's position in Pearl No.1 was high, and no one could match it.
Lin Xiaozhu walked around the scene for a long time, and then came to Xiao Zheng's side with great interest. Her eyes were shining, and she said, "Brother-in-law, this time I am really rich!"
"How rich?" Xiao Zheng asked with a smile.
"Xiaozhu, no matter who you pull, you have to take a group photo first. I am a little embarrassed." Black Bear lit a cigarette and said helplessly.
"How can I show off if I don't take a group photo?" Lin Xiaozhu said as a matter of course. "If I say I have met these big brothers with my mouth, who will believe it?"
Black Bear was speechless, and Xiao Zheng said with a smile, "The photo has been taken, now you should be a little more honest, right?"
Lin Xiaozhu laughed and said, "It's not over yet, I still want to take a group photo with Ye Shiguan and Mister Zhao later!"
"Brother Ye taking a group photo with you is absolutely no problem! But Mister Zhao — "Black Bear paused and pursed his lips. "Xiaozhu, you have to be clear, he is our opponent, our enemy. Are you sure you want to take a group photo with him?"
"If that's the case —" Lin Xiaozhu tilted her head and thought for a moment, and then asked. "Then how about I pretend I don't know you and take a group photo with Mister Zhao later?"
Black Bear rolled his eyes and scolded with a smile, "You really are an ungrateful wolf!"
Lin Xiaozhu laughed and waved her hand, "Don't worry, since the old guy is your enemy, of course I won't take a group photo with him. Besides, older people are not photogenic at all! "
"Fastidious!" Black Bear laughed.
"Mister Zhao is here!"
While they were chatting, a strong voice exploded. In this banquet scene of more than a hundred people, the voice was like a dragon's bell, powerful and thick. The guests heard the news and turned to the door, and each of them greeted with a smile.
"Brother-in-law! Come, let's go see what Mister Zhao looks like! "
The little traitor had just said he didn't want to take a group photo, and then turned around to see Mister Zhao's honor. In the Anti-Japanese War era, he would definitely be a little puppet soldier with a helmet on his head.
