Pei Qingzong stared unblinkingly at Wu Fangyuan, who was smiling and shaking hands with Pei Feng. His face was ashen and gloomy.
After a long time, he said coldly, "What a pair of father and son. Good, very good! They even dare to betray the Pei Family. They really think our Pei Family's politeness is a blessing! I will go back and report this to my eldest brother. At that time … I will make you suffer! "
Hearing Pei Qingzong's words, Pei Tianyun couldn't help but smile coldly.
He tilted his head and whispered, "Little Mei, Jiangnan Zhou's Old General Zhou and Deputy Secretary Jiang are both here. No matter what, we have to go and greet them. Otherwise …"
Before he could finish, Luo Meiyi suddenly screamed, "What greeting?! My birthday banquet was ruined by that bitch Su Menglian … Oh! Oh! "
Pei Qingzong turned pale with fright. He was about to cover Luo Meiyi's mouth when a hand with bulging veins and wrinkled skin covered her mouth like lightning!
Fortunately, the hall was filled with the voices of "Deputy Secretary Jiang" and "Old General Zhou." Other than a few Pei Family members, no one noticed Luo Meiyi's scream.
"This birthday banquet is already embarrassing enough. Don't smear the Pei Family's face anymore!"
Pei Qingzong's voice was bone-chilling with a strong murderous aura. "Go back to the hall and be a good birthday boy. Today's birthday banquet … no matter how ugly it is, you have to grit your teeth and finish it! "
Luo Meiyi's face was pale. She didn't dare to disobey and nodded obediently.
Pei Tianyun was also shocked. After a while, he whispered, "Third Uncle, what about Old General Zhou and Deputy Secretary Jiang …"
"No need to go."
Pei Qingzong took a deep look at Pei Feng at the entrance of the Hall of Glory. He turned around and accompanied Luo Meiyi into the hall. "In a while, tell the guests to return to their seats. The birthday banquet will start at 6: 30 sharp. Everything as usual!"
"Understood, Third Uncle."
…
The arrival of Elder Zhou and Deputy Secretary Jiang set off an uproar, especially the guests in the VIP Lounge. All of them were excited and rushed over to shake hands with Elder Zhou and Deputy Secretary Jiang.
The Zhou Clan of Jiangnan had a very special status in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai regions. In terms of economic strength and martial strength, there were many clans that were stronger than the Zhou Clan of Jiangnan. But for so many years, almost no clan dared to openly oppose the Zhou Clan of Jiangnan. At most, they would play tricks in the dark.
There was only one reason … Zhou Jiejun, Elder Zhou.
He was an old general who held a high position in the country. He had spent his entire life in the military and had made outstanding contributions. In many people's eyes, Old Man Zhou was an important minister of the country and a legendary figure.
Elder Zhou rarely participated in any social activities. He was a secretive chief in the military world. Everyone was shocked that he would attend Su Menglian's birthday celebration.
It was the same for Jiang Xiaoqiu.
In his early forties, he had already reached the position of Deputy Secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee. He had a tough style and was bold and decisive. He had made remarkable achievements in recent years. He was the most energetic and promising person in the core leadership of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee.
To be able to invite these two … Everyone in the VIP Lounge looked at Pei Feng differently.
The guests were more envious and surprised. They were all speculating about the background of the indifferent and handsome young man who looked only 16 or 17 years old at the entrance of the VIP Lounge. It was just a birthday celebration, but he was able to invite so many big shots in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai region. Even big shots like Old General Zhou and Deputy Secretary Jiang were here in person!
Pei Feng had never met Jiang Xiaoqiu before, but he had seen him on TV. This gentle leader of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee in his early forties was very approachable and seemed to be very interested in him. He held Pei Feng's hand and carefully looked him up and down when he greeted him. There was a trace of curiosity and appreciation in his eyes.
He hadn't seen Elder Zhou for a while.
In the past month, Elder Zhou had been busy and had been in the capital. This time, he specially came back from the capital for his mother's birthday celebration. To tell the truth, Pei Feng was quite touched.
Seeing Elder Zhou and Deputy Secretary Jiang, even experienced people like Kong Man Dao and Du Jiuye showed a respectful expression. They smiled and were very attentive. But Pei Feng was as indifferent as ever.
Leaders all had a strong aura. The higher the status, the stronger the invisible aura. It was indescribable but inevitable.
Elder Zhou and Deputy Secretary Jiang were the same.
But this so-called aura of a leader … was nothing to Pei Feng.
In his previous life, in the Immortal, Devil, and Yao Realms, the people he had come into contact with were the Emperors, the Immortal Emperors who ruled over billions of people. He himself was the Great Demon who ruled over the vast territories of the Demon Realm, the Immortal, Devil, and Yao realms.
In the past, whether it was Elder Zhou or Deputy Secretary Jiang, they were like ants to him. He naturally wouldn't be moved by their so-called aura.
Du Jiuye accompanied Elder Zhou and Deputy Secretary Jiang into the hall. Immediately, everyone in the Hall of Glory stood up in shock.
"Greetings, General Zhou!"
"Greetings, Elder Zhou!"
"Greetings, Deputy Secretary Jiang!"
"Oh, Deputy Secretary Jiang! Why are you here?"
…
Pei Feng turned his head to glance at Elder Zhou and Deputy Secretary Jiang. His heart skipped a beat.
Elder Zhou looked tired, and there was a trace of worry between his brows. He looked like he had a lot on his mind.
As for Deputy Secretary Jiang …
He looked at Kong Man Dao and smiled. "Elder Kong, I didn't expect you to be able to invite Deputy Secretary Jiang's entire family. You're really something."
Kong Man Dao chuckled and whispered in his ear. "Mr. Pei, I can invite Deputy Secretary Jiang, but for him to bring his entire family here … this is not something I can do. Not only Deputy Secretary Jiang, but all the guests here today brought their entire families. It's not because of me, but because of you. "
Pei Feng frowned. "Because of me? What do you mean?"
Kong Man Dao took out the jade artifact that Pei Feng had crafted for him. He smiled. "Mr. Pei, do you know the market price of these jade artifacts you crafted for us in private auctions in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai regions?"
"Oh? What market price? "
"It's so popular that it's priceless!"
Kong Wendao sighed softly and said, "To be honest, when we obtained this jade magic tool, we couldn't help but flaunt it in our circle. In the end, those magic tools that were praised to the heavens in the past … none of them could compare to the jade magic tool that you refined! The beads consecrated by the Living Buddha, the relics of the eminent monks, the compasses refined by the Longhu Celestial Master, and the magical bells unearthed from the ancient tombs of emperors are all trash compared to your jade artifacts! "
At this point, he winked at Pei Feng and said in a low voice, "You definitely don't know, just this jade magic artifact of mine … Someone has already offered a price of 1 billion!"
"1 billion?"
Pei Feng was stunned.
