Upon hearing this, Tang Muxin, who had been supporting Hong Dali, knew that things were going to be bad.
She knew Hong Dali's character very well. If he was joking normally, he wouldn't be bothered. But what kind of place was the family meeting? It was a meeting that had been passed down in the Hong Family for a long time. It was a place to spur the growth of the younger members of the Hong Family.
Tang Muxin's grandfather and the current Big Elder of the Hong Family, Hong Tu, were quite close. She had heard her grandfather mention the family meeting before.
Moreover, it was said that the Hong Family did not raise idlers. If Hong Dali were to leave just like that … Not to mention other things, the younger generation would definitely be jealous of Hong Dali's background. It was not impossible for them to mock and ridicule him secretly or even kick him when he was down.
Especially that Hong Anbao and Hong Ancheng, whom she had met once before.
If even the two of them were like that, it was needless to say for the other members of the family.
While Tang Muxin was in a dilemma, Hong Dali swayed and looked at the two of them. He grinned and said, "What family meeting? I won't be going. Just go back and tell them that I'm not feeling well today."
Anyway, he was a famous prodigal. He would definitely be looked down upon if he went there.
There was no such thing as a good banquet or a good meeting. It was best not to go.
"This …" The two of them were put in a difficult position. "We can't make the decision. Young Master Dali, why don't you come with us? Just take it as getting some fresh air. When you reach there, just ask Big Elder and come back. What do you think?"
Hong Dali was very unhappy. "Can't I not go? It's not like I have to attend this family meeting. "
Actually, it was no wonder he said that. Hong Weiguo had always wanted him to be happy. He didn't tell him about the family meeting in detail. According to Hong Weiguo's original plan, Hong Dali would just go there for a walk. Anyway, he wasn't making a loss now. There wouldn't be any big problems. There was no need to tell him in detail and make him angry.
Hong Dali was too lazy to move. He didn't care about fame or profit. There was nothing much to say to his peers who were jealous of him. Instead, he would definitely be mocked and ridiculed. Naturally, he wasn't willing to go.
But even if he didn't want to go, the two people who came to pick him up couldn't make the decision. They begged for mercy. "Young Master Dali, please don't make things difficult for us. To put it bluntly, we're just two errand boys. If you don't go, we'll have to pack up and run. Actually, it's fine if the two of us run away, but the problem is that when the time comes, someone will be sent to pick you up, and it might even be someone from the family. At that time, it will be even more difficult to talk to you. "
That was true. If the two of them went back and the family insisted on calling them over, they would have to replace them.
If an elder who didn't like him came over, his words would definitely not be pleasant to hear.
Fine, let's go then. Luckily, Hong Dali wasn't drunk yet. He stood up shakily and said, "I'll go then. It's not a big deal. Brothers, drink first. I'll be back soon! "
What he said was like Li Kui going out to kill people in Water Margin — "Brothers, drink three cups first. I'll be back soon. I'll drink with you guys then!" Then, Li Kui took two axes and went to chop off the heads …
Hong Dali's classmates naturally weren't worried. But Tang Muxin couldn't ignore him. She anxiously said, "Dali, you're already so drunk. I'll accompany you. I'm worried about you going alone!"
"Then, let's go together!" Hong Dali laughed and said, "Sister Nianwei and Sister Xiaoyi, let's go too!"
The two people who came to pick him up hurriedly said, "Young Master Dali, this is a family meeting. Outsiders can't enter casually …"
"What has that got to do with me?" Hong Dali was furious when he heard that. "If you want to go, we'll go together. If not, none of us will go. It's up to you!" Anyway, Hong Dali wasn't familiar with the other members of the family. Hong Dali couldn't be bothered to make friends with them. Instead, the people around him were his right-hand men. Naturally, they would go together — the key was that he drank a little too much. If he went alone, who knew what would happen?
Hearing Hong Dali say that, the two people looked at each other. Alright, bring them all along. Since Young Master Dali was going, it shouldn't be a problem to bring two more people. It would be fine as long as they didn't run around. They instantly nodded and said, "Since Young Master Dali has spoken, let's go."
"That's right." Hong Dali beamed with delight. "Let's go!"
The few of them instantly went out. On the way, Tang Muxin was afraid that Hong Dali didn't understand the structure of the family meeting. She hurriedly whispered to Hong Dali, "Dali, in your family, the Big Elder is called Hong Tu. He's your grandfather. He has some connections with my grandfather. The Second Elder is called Hong Wei. The Third Elder is called Hong Ying. Don't forget them. If you don't want to attend this meeting, you can just ask for leave from the Big Elder. "
"I understand, I understand." Although he walked in an S-shape, Hong Dali's mind was very clear. "Don't worry, I know what to do."
Very quickly, they got on the helicopter and headed all the way north. In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the huge Hong Family's manor, "Forest Capital."
When the helicopter landed on the helipad, Hong Dali got down from the helicopter in a daze … He was a little airsick.
The two people who went to fetch Hong Dali led Hong Dali inside. Hong Dali looked around as he walked. Tang Muxin, Li Nianwei, and Ling Xiaoyi were also dumbfounded. They only knew that the Hong Family was one of the few huge families in the country. But from the looks of it now, it was much bigger than they had imagined.
There were dozens of buildings in sight. Swimming pools, tennis courts, bowling alleys, movie theaters, music theaters, underground wine cellars, and so on. Just by looking at the huge building area, it was at least two to three hundred thousand square meters. It was really frightening.
"Oh right, do you know where my Big Grandfather is?" Hong Dali asked as he walked. Since he was here to ask for leave, he naturally couldn't wander around the map.
"He should be in the big conference room at this time. Even if he's not there, we should be able to wait for him. "One of the two people replied.
"Then, let's go to the big conference room." Hong Dali didn't waste any time. "Let's go!"
There were already quite a number of young people in the manor. When they saw Hong Dali from afar, they all pointed and gestured. Their voices came from afar —
"Quick, look, it's Hong Dali."
"Hehe, this prodigal, he actually brought a woman here. Sigh, really …"
"That's Li Nianwei, right? Speaking of which, Hong Dali is very likely to make a comeback this time. Those things that he started up seem to be quite profitable. "
"What comeback? I heard that Big Uncle gave him more than 20 million. How much did he earn back?"
"That's true. Looks like this family meeting will be interesting to watch."
"That's really hard to say. Let's just wait and see. There will definitely be a big scene tomorrow!"
"Don't talk about tomorrow. I reckon there will be some fun later. Look at him walking in an S shape. He must have drunk, haha!"
Hong Dali and the rest could vaguely hear the conversations around them. Tang Muxin held Hong Dali's arm and walked in an S shape, not forgetting to glare fiercely at the people around her. Li Nianwei brought Ling Xiaoyi and followed behind them. She knew her position very well. Now that they were here, they had to restrain themselves. Their first priority was not to cause trouble for Hong Dali.
Everyone walked forward. Soon, they arrived at the door of the big conference room where the family meeting was held.
Hong Dali lifted his leg and was about to walk in. However, he was stopped by the door guards. "Young Master Dali can go in. Other unrelated people are not allowed to enter."
"Damn!" Hong Dali was furious and shouted, "What kind of stupid rules are these? You are the unrelated person. Your whole family is unrelated people!"
The two guards were not angry. They just stood there and blocked the door.
At this time, Tang Muxin softly said, "Dali, it's fine if we don't want to enter. You can just go in and apply for leave."
"Alright then. Seriously." Hong Dali mumbled, "There are rules everywhere. It makes me feel uncomfortable."
Otherwise, why didn't he like coming here? Once he entered, this was a rule, that was a rule. Could he still play happily?!
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a strange voice sounded. "Yo, isn't it Dali who's here? Why didn't you go in? "
Hong Dali turned his head and saw that the person was gloating. Who else could it be other than the evil Hong Anbao?
"Tsk, I can't be bothered with you." Hong Dali humphed and ignored Hong Anbao. He walked in alone.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Hong Anbao grinned and followed, his face looking like he was asking for a beating. "I haven't properly congratulated you at your coming of age ceremony. It's a rare opportunity today."
"That's considered a congratulation. Where's my Big Grandfather? " Hong Dali didn't look at him. He just minded his own business and searched for his target, which was Big Elder Hong Tu. He felt uncomfortable in such an atmosphere. He just wanted to quickly apply for leave.
The conference hall where the family meeting was held didn't look like much from the outside. Once inside, he realized that it was extremely big. The servants were cleaning the place. In the conference hall, a huge solid wood conference table formed a big circle. There were all kinds of fruits on it. There were apples, oranges, kiwis, etc. There were also many drinks. Hong Dali felt a little hungry just looking at it …
There were quite a number of descendants who came to help. Hong Dali didn't know any of them. They probably weren't close to him. Looking at their busy expressions, they probably wanted to take the opportunity to perform well. If they could win the favor of the three Big Elders, there would naturally be a lot of benefits.
"Big Elder? I don't know either. " Hong Anbao followed Hong Dali inside and laughed coldly. "But to be honest, it's useless for you to ask Big Elder to give you extra points. But I really admire you. You really dared to come."
As mentioned previously, Hong Dali was normal when he drank too much. He just swayed when he walked — he didn't like Hong Anbao. Plus, after hearing Hong Anbao's words, he felt unhappy. So, he walked faster. In the end, even though he walked faster, Hong Anbao followed closely behind. Somehow, the two of them bumped into each other.
Originally, Hong Dali didn't use much strength. But it wasn't known if Hong Dali's strength attribute was full or if Hong Anbao did it on purpose. Anyway, after the collision, Hong Anbao let out an "aiya" and fell two meters away. With a "bang", he crashed into a conference table. The conference table didn't hit the ground. After all, it was made of solid wood. But the fruit platters on it were affected and fell all over the floor.
