After exchanging pleasantries with the two women, Liao Jinguang turned to Dong Jieyu and said, "Little Dong, Elder Huang's funeral has not been confirmed yet. In the next two days, there will be many friends from home and abroad. They will first come to Qingyang Hotel to inquire about the news. Your hotel's reception task will be very difficult. I hope that you can withstand the pressure and work together to do a good job. I thank you on their behalf."
Dong Jieyu was flattered and said, "Chairman Liao, you are too polite. This is what we should do. Don't worry, we will definitely do a good job of receiving guests and ensure that there will not be any chaos. "
Liao Jinguang was waiting for her last sentence. He was very pleased to hear it and nodded at her to express his approval. Only then did he walk into the VIP building.
Li Rui did not talk to the two women. He only nodded and followed in.
At this time, there were not many people who had received the news of Huang Xinghua's death, so not many people came to Qingyang Hotel. Therefore, there were very few people in the VIP building. The lobby on the first floor was deserted. It was not until they reached the second floor and arrived at the door of Room 202 that they saw a large group of people gathered outside.
Among these people, Li Rui knew some and some he did not know. However, he knew most of them. He focused his gaze and quickly saw Jiang Meixian's tall and graceful figure. Housekeeper Qi Fengchi was standing beside her. When he saw the two of them, it was as if he had seen his family. He quickly walked over and did not care about Liao Jinguang.
"Cindy, Housekeeper Qi, I'm back!"
Li Rui came in front of the two and greeted them.
Jiang Meixian was no longer crying. Her two big and beautiful eyes had turned into peaches, red and swollen. When she saw him, she was a little surprised and said, "Ah, Mr. Li, you're back?"
Qi Fengchi was also a little surprised to see Li Rui and said, "Xiao Rui, didn't you go to Beijing?" Li Rui said, "I heard that Big Brother passed away, so I rushed back overnight." As he spoke, his eyes could not help but sting.
Their conversation attracted the attention of the people around them. They all turned to look at Li Rui.
Qi Fengchi saw those people looking over and pulled Li Rui to his side. He waved his hand and said, "Xiao Rui, let me introduce you. This is my master's eldest son, Huang Zhishan …"
Li Rui looked at the person he was pointing at and saw that he was in his sixties or seventies. He was about five or six centimeters taller than Huang Xinghua, but he wasn't very tall. He was slightly plump and had short, white hair. He looked like Huang Xinghua and had a serious expression on his face. He exuded a lofty aura, and it was obvious that he wasn't an ordinary person. Li Rui didn't want to use his relationship with Huang Xinghua to address him, so he extended his hand and said, "Nice to meet you!"
Huang Zhishan didn't seem to be easy to get along with, but he was actually quite gentle. He shook hands with him and said, "Nice to meet you. You are Li Rui, the sworn brother my father made when he came to Qingyang, right?" Li Rui said, "I am Li Rui. I met your father by chance and received his love. We became good friends despite our age difference. As for the talk of being sworn brothers, it was just something the old man said on a whim. You don't have to take it seriously. "
Li Rui was very smart and cautious. He knew that once Big Brother Huang Xinghua died, his children would inherit the huge inheritance he left behind. At such a sensitive time, he couldn't act like they were close and tell the three sons of the Huang family that he was Huang Xinghua's sworn brother. Otherwise, they might misunderstand and think that he wanted to get a share of the inheritance. That would be boring. Therefore, he took a step back and didn't consider himself Huang Xinghua's sworn brother. He even wanted to take the initiative to eliminate this relationship.
After Huang Zhishan heard this, his face showed appreciation and gratification. But before he could say anything, a 57 or 78 year old man next to him interrupted, "Hey, why are you talking like that? Don't tell me that once my father died, your sworn brother relationship with him would automatically be severed? Is our Huang family unable to climb up to you? Don't deny that you are my father's sworn brother. He has already left you a legacy in his will. It can be seen that he has already treated you as his own brother. In terms of seniority, we three brothers should call you uncle. "
Li Rui looked at him and saw that he looked similar to Huang Zhishan. He was ten years younger, so he guessed that he was Huang Zhishan's sworn brother. He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, you … you are old enough to be my uncles. How can you call me uncle? I will treat your father as my sworn brother. I will treat you as my friends. "
Huang Zhishan introduced, "This is my third brother, Huang Zhihe." Then he pointed to a cold-looking old man behind him and said, "This is my second brother, Huang Zhihai."
Li Rui was slightly surprised. He thought that his eldest brother was really bold to give his three sons the names Huang Shan, Huang Hai, and Huang Hai. However, this also reflected his great patriotism for his motherland. It was worth learning from. He hurriedly greeted Huang Zhihai and Huang Zhihe.
Huang Zhihai comforted Li Rui and said, "Although we three brothers didn't see Xiao Rui take care of my father with our own eyes, we can see the affection between you and him from the way he recognized you as his sworn brother. The three of us are very grateful for what he has done for you during this period of time in Qingyang. We have already treated you as one of our own. Therefore, you don't have to think too much or be modest. We are all one family."
Each of the three sons of the Huang family said something. Li Rui, who was good at figuring out people's personalities, found it not difficult to figure out their personalities. The eldest, Huang Zhishan, was gentle and kind, giving people the feeling of a vast mountain. The second, Huang Zhihai, had a cold temperament, but he was very reasonable and very wise. The third, Huang Zhihe, had a more impatient temperament, and his words were a bit blunt, but he did not have any bad intentions. He was the straightforward type. The three brothers had different personalities and were very distinct and easy to recognize.
After Li Rui got to know the three brothers, he started to talk about business. "When I received the news of my eldest brother's death last night, I immediately reported it to my superior, Secretary Song Chaoyang. Song Shuji asked me to come back quickly to help with the funeral. Therefore, if you need any help, feel free to call me. Don't be courteous with me. This is part of my duty. "
Huang Zhishan said, "To tell you the truth, Xiao Rui, our intention is to follow what my father has said many times. If he dies, the funeral will be simple. However, after the news spread, friends from all walks of life disagreed. They all said that they want to set up a joint funeral committee to give my father a grand funeral. We can't go against their good intentions and are now preparing for the funeral committee. You came back just in time. As a native of Qingyang, you can help a lot. "
Li Rui made a few promises and changed the topic. "Can I see your father one last time?"
Before Huang Zhishan could speak, Huang Zhihe had already said, "Of course. This is human nature. Go in. My father is on the bed in the bedroom. Housekeeper, accompany him in. "
The second brother, Huang Zhihai, didn't say anything and just looked on coldly.
Li Rui received permission. Under Qi Fengchi's lead, he passed through the crowd and entered room 202. When he entered, the bedroom door was wide open. A woman in black with a very charming back was standing beside the bed and crying. She heard footsteps and looked back. She saw Qi Fengchi and Li Rui.
Qi Fengchi hurriedly stopped and said, "Eldest Miss, I brought Master's sworn brother, Li Rui, to see Master for the last time." As he spoke, he couldn't help but cry.
The woman hastily wiped the tears on her face and turned to walk out of the bedroom. She lowered her head slightly and stood by the door. "Okay."
Qi Fengchi brought Li Rui to the woman's side and introduced, "Eldest Miss, this is Master's sworn brother, Li Rui … Xiao Rui, this is Master's eldest granddaughter, Huang Weining."
Li Rui stared at the eldest miss of the Huang family and saw that she was in her early thirties. She wasn't short and was about 1.7 meters tall in high heels. She had long hair that reached her neck and bangs that parted at her forehead. Her hair was thick and black without a single strand out of place. She looked clean, neat, and young. Her face shape was beautiful, and her facial features were neat. She had a pair of big and charming almond eyes, a straight nose, and thin lips that added a heroic spirit to her beauty. She had the style of a heroine. She wore a black long-sleeved silk lantern top that suddenly tightened at the waist, revealing her small waist. She wore a pair of black jeans that wrapped around her beautiful buttocks and slender legs. She wore a pair of black pointed high heels. Her figure was truly outstanding and her temperament was refined. She was a rare beauty in the secular world.
Huang Weining took the initiative to extend her hand to Li Rui as she asked Qi Fengchi, "Uncle Qi, how should I address you?" Qi Fengchi looked at Li Rui with some difficulty and said, "Uh … this, if we go by seniority …"
Li Rui interrupted, "Miss Huang, your grandfather only recognized me as his sworn brother on a whim. You don't have to take it seriously. We can talk as equals. "After he finished speaking, he gently held her hand and shook it twice before letting go. Huang Weining was also very generous and said, "Then I'll call you Mr. Li." Li Rui nodded and said, "I'll go see Master Huang for the last time. We'll talk later."
Huang Weining nodded slightly and stood to the side. She didn't leave the room.
Li Rui walked into the bedroom and saw that Huang Xinghua was still lying on the bed. If it wasn't for the white blanket that covered his face, no one would know that he had passed away. Seeing this scene, his nose turned sour and tears couldn't help but drip down.
Qi Fengchi walked to the side of the bed and gently lifted the blanket. Li Rui looked over with teary eyes and saw that Huang Xinghua's eyes were tightly shut and his face was serene. His skin had turned gray due to the sedimentation of blood after his death. He looked like he was dead and it made people feel very uncomfortable.
Li Rui didn't care about this and cried out involuntarily, "Big Brother!" His tears flowed even more fiercely.
Qi Fengchi was also very sad and said while crying, "Master, Xiao Rui came back. He saw that you came, but you didn't even see your good brother for the last time before you left. You left in too much of a hurry …"
Outside the door, Huang Weining heard this and the tears that had already stopped flowed down again.
Li Rui looked at Huang Xinghua's remains and cried for a while. When he stopped, he lowered his voice and asked Qi Fengchi, "Butler Qi, what time did my big brother pass away last night? Where were you at that time? Was there anyone else in the room other than you? "
