"If I'm not wrong, this is my little mother-in-law?" Yang Cheng asked with a grin.
Liu Qingshan had two women. One was Liu Mingyu's birth mother's first wife, and the other was the woman he met in Beijing who helped him build his empire. She was Liu Minghao's birth mother. Yang Chen thought about it for a while and decided that this woman should be her.
The woman in yellow smiled sweetly. "I've heard from Qingshan that your son-in-law is not someone to be trifled with. Just as I expected, he calls me 'little mother-in-law' the moment he sees me. Mingyu's mother and I have never been separated in seniority. Why are you separating us? "
Yang Cheng rubbed his nose. How would I know that you two are on equal footing? One is a wife and the other is a concubine.
Liu Qingshan snorted. "Don't lower yourself to this brat's level. He says one thing but does another. No matter how nice he calls me, he doesn't care about others' feelings."
Yang Cheng rolled his eyes. I only beat up one of your subordinates. Do you have to be so stubborn?
"Let me introduce you." Liu Qingshan held a cigar in one hand and held the woman's shoulder with the other. He smiled. "This is Xu Ying, Minghao's mother. Yu 'er has seen her before and calls her mother too. You can just call her mother-in-law."
Yang Cheng quickly flattered. "Mother-in-law, it's such a waste for you to marry this man. He's like an old cow eating young grass!"
As soon as he said that, Xu Ying burst into laughter. Liu Qingshan wanted to retort, but if he did, it would be equivalent to saying that Xu Ying was old.
After some small talk, Liu Qingshan said, "Do you know why I called you out today?"
Yang Cheng rolled his eyes. "You're the one who called me out. Why are you asking me?"
Liu Qingshan's mouth twitched. He couldn't be bothered to beat around the bush with Yang Cheng. "You know that Minghao is my only son. I need a successor after all these years. But Minghao is still young and inexperienced. Even if he is talented, it won't be easy for him to take charge.
I'm not young anymore. When I returned to Zhonghai, I wanted to form an alliance with the Red Thorns Society and expand. However, I realized that it's not easy to suppress the local tyrant. I plan to leave these matters in Ming Hao's hands and let him complete them. "
Yang Cheng understood what Liu Qingshan was trying to say. It seemed that he also knew that the chances of him dominating the whole of Hua Xia were not high. Not to mention that there were hidden forces in other provinces, the country would not allow the Green Dragon Society to be the sole leader. Moreover, there was also the Red Thorns Society in Zhonghai that had always taken the initiative in the south.
Therefore, Liu Qingshan wanted to pave the way for Liu Minghao.
"Although you're not from our underworld, I know that you're not an ordinary person. At the very least, Qiangwei listens to you. In the future, Minghao will still need your help. I believe that you won't be too stingy even if my daughter is occupied by you.
It just so happens that the Azure Dragon Society is holding a council of patriarchs today, and all the important people in charge will be present. I plan to take you to meet the important people in the Azure Dragon Society while you're in Beijing. We'll get to know each other. In the future, I'll step down from behind the scenes, and you can help Minghao. "
Yang Cheng was in a dilemma. So, he wanted him to protect his brother-in-law. Not to mention that Liu Minghao had caused Zhenxiu to be bullied by those delinquents, the Azure Dragon Society was a force in Beijing. Did he have to go there every now and then?
However, Liu Qingshan did not do this for him. Perhaps he felt that he was the true leader of the Red Thorns Society, so he should have a lot of weight and could help Liu Minghao to intimidate the powerful people in the Azure Dragon Society.
Xu Ying sighed sorrowfully. "Qingshan, Minghao is still young. Are you so cruel to let him work in the society at such a young age?"
"He is my son. Since he doesn't want to go to school, he can only walk this path." Liu Qingshan did not care that Yang Cheng was present. He squeezed Xu Ying's hand and said, "When I retire, you can take off your burden. All these years, you've followed me everywhere, and I know it's been hard on you. For the rest of your life, I'll bring you out more and spend more time with you. "
Xu Ying smiled bitterly and did not try to persuade him anymore.
Yang Cheng listened on the side. He felt that although Liu Qingshan's character was not very good, he was quite sincere to his daughter and children. However, he asked curiously, "Mother-in-law, do you also hold a position in the society?"
Xu Ying smiled and said, "At first, I opened a bar in Yan Jing. After I met Qingshan, I walked this path. The foundation of the Azure Dragon Society was laid by me and your father-in-law. Later on, I was in charge of some internal affairs. Now, I'm in charge of some logistics. I can be considered a hall leader."
Yang Cheng nodded. No wonder Liu Minghao was so restless. His mother was not easy to deal with.
After driving for nearly an hour, they finally arrived at their destination. It was a holiday hotel with a garden-style design. One look at the name and it was obvious who owned it. "Azure Dragon International Holiday Hotel."
They drove all the way to the man-made lake in the center of the holiday hotel. A white three-storey baroque bungalow stood by the lake.
Under the welcome of a few waiters, Yang Cheng followed behind Liu Qingshan and Xu Ying and walked slowly into the building's hall.
Upon entering, he realized that it was a building that was a combination of a banquet hall and a great hall. In the banquet hall, there were already many men in suits and some women in gorgeous clothes.
Rather than calling it a triad, it would be better to call it a big company that did the underworld business.
When everyone saw Liu Qingshan and Xu Ying, they all came up to greet them. Most of them looked at Liu Qingshan with awe. After all, he was the one who built the Azure Dragon Society. He definitely had enough prestige.
When everyone's eyes fell on Yang Cheng, they were a little confused, but no one went up to ask.
As soon as Liu Qingshan arrived, the meeting of the elders of the Azure Dragon Society could officially start. The meeting was prepared to last for an entire day, so it started in the morning. The crowd entered the great hall one after another.
Around a huge oval table, Liu Qingshan sat upright at the head of the table. As the president's wife and one of the hall leaders, Xu Ying sat on his left. Obviously, she was the second-in-command in the society. Her position was much higher than what Yang Cheng had imagined.
Just as Yang Cheng was hesitating about where to sit, he saw a man walk over and say in an indifferent tone, "You can sit behind the president."
The voice sounded familiar to Yang Cheng. He raised his head and was slightly stunned. Wasn't the fair-skinned man in front of him Gao Yue, whom he had beaten up and sent to the police station?
Logically speaking, Gao Yue should be in jail. Why was he here in Beijing? Knowing Choi Yeon's character, she would never let off a criminal that she had arrested easily!
At this moment, Liu Qingshan turned his head around and said to Yang Chen in a deep voice, "Gao Yue was released from prison by my men. No matter what conflicts you had with him in the past, he's still my trusted assistant. Since you've already taught him a lesson, don't hold it against him anymore. Sit down, the meeting is about to start. "
Yang Cheng frowned. He didn't expect Liu Qingshan to find a way to release Gao Yue. He really didn't care about someone like Gao Yue. It was just that Gao Yue's strange tone and demeanor clearly showed that he was full of hostility toward him.
Xu Ying looked at Gao Yue, and then at Yang Cheng. There was a complicated look in her eyes, but she didn't say anything.
After a while, Liu Qingshan signaled for everyone to quiet down. With a solemn expression, he said slowly, "I have a few important things to announce in today's meeting of the patriarchs. I believe everyone has heard about them before coming here. But before I talk about the important things, I would like to introduce a young man to everyone. "
Liu Qingshan turned around and pointed at Yang Cheng, gesturing for Yang Cheng to stand up. He said, "This is Yang Cheng, my son-in-law. Many of you should have heard of this name. That's right, Zhonghai's Red Thorns Society can be said to have a close relationship with him. "
At this moment, the hall masters and leaders of the Green Dragon Society started whispering to each other. They looked at Yang Cheng with strange expressions. They were all people who had access to some secret information. Clearly, they didn't expect that the person behind the Red Thorns Society would be such an ordinary young man.
Yang Cheng was rather embarrassed. He felt like he was being watched like an animal for a while. After standing for a while, he immediately sat back down.
After Liu Qingshan finished his introduction, he continued, "The reason why I invited Yang Cheng to attend this meeting today is because Yang Cheng will be participating in the matters that I want to announce."
At this point, Liu Qingshan deliberately paused and scanned everyone in the hall. After making sure that everyone was listening attentively, he said, "After going to Zhonghai and expanding the territory in the south, I realized that I've been on this path for almost thirty years. I'm no longer young. Many young people are more resilient than I thought.
So, I've decided that after this meeting of the patriarchs, I will officially hand over the power to my son, Liu Minghao. "
As soon as these words came out, the entire hall was in an uproar. A few hall masters who were closer to Liu Qingshan hurriedly said, "President, we watched Minghao grow up. He's indeed made for this path. But he's still young. He's still a child. How can he be the president?! "
Liu Qingshan waved his hand and said, "Of course, I won't let Minghao be the president immediately. I will try my best to guide him. Moreover, with the support of good brothers like you, he will grow very quickly. "As for the safety of the gang after I retire, I plan to let our ally, the Red Thorns Society, help us. This is also the reason why I invited Yang Cheng to attend this meeting today.
"Yang Cheng is my son-in-law and Minghao's brother-in-law. He's one of us. This means that the Red Thorns Society will definitely be on our side. Even if I retire, I don't think any other gang will dare to challenge the Green Dragon Society and the Red Thorns Society at the same time. "
Sitting at the back, Yang Cheng pursed his lips. This father-in-law was really good at talking. He hadn't even made any promises, and he was already chasing him into the car. Moreover, what era was this? There was no democracy at all. He was saying that his son would be the next president? No matter how he thought about it, it didn't seem right.
As expected, after a moment of commotion, an old man with gray hair raised his hand and said, "President, I think it's inappropriate to let Minghao be the president."
Liu Qingshan did not seem to expect that someone would oppose him so openly. His eyes turned cold as he glanced over and said with a smile, "Uncle Zhang, you are also my senior. If there's anything you want to say, feel free to say it."
The old man called Uncle Zhang took a deep breath and said, "I think that only someone who looks convincing can be elected. Although Minghao is a good material, he hasn't been cut yet. Who can guarantee that he'll be of great use? Do we really have to wait for a few years to confirm it? We old guys don't have that much time to support a newcomer. Therefore, I think it's inappropriate. "
"Uncle Zhang, when I first came to Beijing, I was just a kid. But I single-handedly made the Green Dragon Society rule Beijing. Some people grow much faster than normal people. I believe that Uncle Zhang should have some knowledge about this, "Liu Qingshan said expressionlessly.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Liu Qingshan finished speaking, a younger woman in a red dress giggled and said, "President, of course we know that you're the hero of the Green Dragon Society. But that kid, Minghao, I heard that in Zhonghai, he only leads a small group of gangsters to fight. Compared to you, he's a far cry. "
"That's right, President." Another middle-aged man with a boss's hairstyle laughed sinisterly. "All of us Hall Masters here are much more capable than a young brat. Why don't you consider us?"
Liu Qingshan's face darkened. He also realized that there was a trap waiting for him. He thought that with his prestige, everyone would agree on the surface even if they weren't convinced.
If that was the case, even if they did something behind his back, he would only need to help Liu Minghao kill the chicken to warn the monkey, and he would be able to stand firm.
But he didn't expect that so many people were going to fall out with him!
Yang Cheng yawned. It wasn't that he didn't know the tense atmosphere in the conference room. But other than feeling bored, he didn't think much of it. To put it bluntly, whoever wanted to be the president could be it. He was only here to give face to Liu Mingyu.
At this moment, Liu Qingshan was so angry that he laughed. He laughed loudly and slammed the table. "Good, good! Looks like you guys are well prepared. We've worked together for so many years, and we know each other's capabilities. Then, let me hear it. Who do you think is more suitable to replace me as the president? "
