5: 55 P.M., in one of the private rooms of Taipei's Grand Pride Hotel, Xie Yaxin and Huang Manli were anxiously waiting. They didn't know what Hua QianXun was up to, to actually bring forward the time by two hours, but they were looking forward to the arrival of Jin Yan and Liu Yunlong. At least, Huang Manli's expression looked very excited.
Seeing that there were only five minutes left before the promised time, Huang Manli felt slightly uneasy. She asked worriedly, ”Arson, do you think that brat Hua Qianlou can invite the young miss of the Hong gang to join the boss of the bamboo gang?”
Xie Laixun's expression was solemn. His many years of experience in the business world had caused him to not be happy. No one could tell what he was thinking. He pushed his gold-rimmed glasses up on his nose, exhaled a puff of smoke from his cigar and said slowly, ”Hua QianXun is a member of the Hong clan, so it doesn't seem like a big problem for him to recruit the young miss of the Hong clan. But, I heard that the boss of the Bamboo Gang is a newcomer, so this seems to be a little difficult.”
Huang Manli nodded, and said in a deep voice, ”Okay! I hope he can give us a surprise. ”
Although Huang Manli was already over forty years old, the reason why she had been in the government for so long made her temperament stand out from the masses. All the men who had been in contact with Huang Manli had the same thought in their minds, and that was not to be underestimated.
”Thick!” The door to the private room was opened. Hua Qianlou walked in with Jin Yan and Liu Yunlong, a smile on his face.
With Huang Manli's status in the political world, she would never have stood up to welcome them. However, now that she had a request from these people, both she and Xie Yaxun stood up simultaneously.
There was still a faint smile on Hua Qianlou's lips as he said neither humble nor haughty, ”Thank you, Uncle Xie, Sister Huang. I've found him for you. Hello! This is the young miss of the Hong Gang, Jin Yan, and this is the new boss of the Bamboo Association, Liu Yunlong. ” As he spoke, he introduced Jin Yan and Liu Yunlong to Xie Yaxin and Huang Manli.
Xie Yaxun glared at Hua QianXun. This brat clearly knew of his relationship with Huang Manli, but he still called him uncle and Huang Manli was his sister. He clearly thought she was old!
The four of them shook hands with each other and exchanged a few pleasantries before each of them took their respective seats at the main seats. When Jin Yan and Liu Yunlong were on their way here, they had already heard from Hua QianXun about Xie Yaxun and Huang Manli's identities. On their way here, Jin Yan and Liu Yunlong had already found out about Xie Yaxun and Huang Manli's identities from Hua QianXun.
Everyone in the chartered room had a certain status in the society. Of course, Hua QianXun was Silver Lake's ruler, and his position among them was the weakest. However, Hua QianXun was definitely the main character in today's dinner.
Hua QianXun stared at Huang Manli and laughed, ”Miss Huang, I think Miss Jin's position in the Hong clan should be able to replace that of the Hong clan, right? ”Furthermore, Sect Master Liu Yunlong is a person who stands by the word in the Bamboo Gang. Is there any sincerity in my cooperation with you?”
Huang Manli nodded and said with a serious face, ”Hua Qianlou is my collaborator. I would like to seek confirmation once again. Can Miss Jin really represent the Hong Gang to cooperate with me?”
