Chapter 398 - Meal in the Mortuary (2/2)
Tang Tianlong hesitated “Mu Jianfeng’s dinner party”
Xia Lei guessed what sort of dinner party it was right ahen he heard that it was being hosted by Mu Jianfeng “Forget it, I’hed dryly “Lei, Mu Jianfeng actually wants to invite you but he knows that you definitely won’t go if he called you directly Go for a bit, on my account, eh? If you’re not happy there then you can just sit around for a bit and go off Is that okay, ho but he did not want to hurt Tang Tianlong’s pride either so he was undecided
He knew that Tang Tianlong had to show Mu Jianfeng respect since China Industrial Group was a huge government-backed company in the military industry and the Equipment Department had relations with the Tianlong help with acquiring land and capital, so he could not disrespect hied Xia Lei’s heel with her toe, saying, “How about I come too? In case Lei feels uncoo”
Two hours later, wangfu Hotel
A Hongqi car stopped at the entrance of the hotel Tang Tianlong, Xia Lei and Tang Yuyan alighted, and the driverYuyan held onto Xia Lei’s arot out of the car She was in a blue-and-white porcelain-patterned cheongsam, matched with cyan fabric-tie heels add her wonderful curves which went high and low, full and bountiful, and she looked like a prime exa yet noble This version of her was pleasing to the eye and made one feel comfort too
Xia Lei was not too shabby himself He was in a sharp suit and was poised and handso Yuyan ell-ed man approached in welcoreet Tang Tianlong, Tang Yuyan and Xia Lei Xia Lei remembered hi Xin This was not his first ti with this man and he was a little familiar with him However, his status at this dinner party was clear - the huuests at the door?
Jiang Xin led them into the hotel and they entered a luxurious private roo as soon as he stepped into the doorith a few people he did not recognise They were all roup was between 40 and 50 years old; every one of them had the air of an official
All eyes went to Xia Lei as soon as he stepped into the private rooreeted hi spoke first and greeted, “Elder Mu, Ye Kun, and our old friends, why have you all coies, there was a bit of a traffic jam on our way here We’vespoke only then “It’s all right Tianlong, Yuyan, Xia Lei, you three have a seat” He added, “Jiang Xin, tell the Xin reement and went off The table had plenty h to have a seat at the reet anyone and seated hia Yuyan seemed to be worried that he would offend others so she quietly nudged him with her foot He pretended not to notice and continued playing gaes and his WeChat app
He saw a WeChatto visit e had been sent thatbut he hadn’t seen it
Xia Lei replied: I received a lot of purchase orders in Russia I’ out the expansion of the military factory and a loan too so I’ht now
Tang Yuyan drew close and pursed her lips when she saw Shentu Tianyin’s profile picture on the WeChat e
A few seconds after Xia Lei replied, and very coincidentally too, Shentu Tianyin sent her reply: Where are you having the fu Hotel
Shentu Tianyin replied: What a coincidence! I’ dinner too!
Xia Lei: …
Shentu Tianyin: Where are you? I’ll come over
Xia Lei looked up but didn’t see if the roo Yuyan’s ear and asked softly, “What’s the naave hi, and before Xia Lei could react, she took the phone froers flashed and the er
Xia Lei looked wordlessly at Tang Yuyan He didn’t knohat to say
Tang Yuyan returned the phone to Xia Lei, the sweet s couldn’t take it anymore and he cleared his throat loudly at the other side of the round table
Ye Kun also looked angrily at Xia Lei “Xia Lei, Elder Mu is still your senior You did not even greet hia down on others because you have wings to soar with now?”
The fuse had been lit and Xia Lei didn’t have the finesse to send any es to Shentu Tianyin so he put the phone away and smiled “I’m the sort who likes to make a clear distinction bethat I like and what I hate If souys tried to hinderthe XL2500 to Russia You’ve gone to that extent already so do I still need to put on a smile and talk nicely to you people?”
“You-” Ye Kun pointed a finger at Xia Lei He wanted to curse at him but did not curse aloud in the end
Xia Lei sneered “Me? Me, what? I didn’t hire gunmen to assassinate you in Moscow, did I? Ye Kun, this matter is not over just like that, I tell you I’ve already investigated it very clearly”
“Enough, enough” Mu Jianfeng acted asas soon as you meet? Both of you aren’t children anymore so don’t act like children Now, don’t talk about that bit of bad blood between the two of you ontrolley in and named the dishes as he set them down This temporarily shut Xia Lei and Ye Kun up, and the two of theht on hold
