Chapter 124: Birthday Banquet
Chapter 124: Birthday Banquet
Qiao Family's Head's centennial birthday banquet was held directly in the villa area.
Today, all kinds of luxury cars were parked around the entire villa area.
Countless elegantly dressed men and women in suits and dresses shuttled among them.
"Hey, Brother Liu, I heard that you are in charge of the Fresh Water Lake project recently? I thought of a good plan to open a western restaurant on the water next to it to make money..." A man under 30 years old said with a smile on his face.
While speaking, quietly, he stuffed a card into the so-called Brother Liu's pocket.
The man called Brother Liu looked like he as in his forties, standing there, he was full of officialdom, "Floating restaurant, this project sounds pretty good, but it's a bit difficult, Xiao Hu, you also know that once this restaurant is built, it will more or less pollute the Fresh Water Lake." When he said this, three fingers rose out of his left hand inadvertently.
"Isn't it just pollution? This is not easy to solve? Fish must be raised in the lake. When the time comes, pour leftovers and rice into it just to feed the fish to ensure that the fish inside is fat and beautiful. This is called the perfect use of resources." The young man called Xiao Hu remained silent. When he spoke, he took out two more cards and put them in Liu's pocket.
"Xiao Hu, this is a good way for you to reform our city and provide a brand new idea. Don't worry, I will approve your project. After this birthday banquet is over, I will go and prepare some documents for you."
"Brother Liu, I'll treat you to dinner another day."
"No trouble, no trouble, it's all about contributing to the country and creating taxes!"
From the beginning to the end, the two of them had very elegant and polite conversations. Business activities similar to this were constantly going on. The birthday banquet had not officially started yet, so it was not known how many deals had been made in private.
However, in addition to this kind of commercial cooperation, there were also some messy things.
For example, the black dress woman who went to the alley to make trouble yesterday was among them.
At this moment, she was pulling three women and spitting wildly...
"Yesterday, I was in the alley and met a super pervert. That person actually got involved with an old lady who was over a hundred years old. It was disgusting, and he looked only seventeen or eighteen years old. When the forest is big, there are all kinds of bird eggs." When the woman in the black dress said this, she looked indignant.
Next to her, a graceful and luxurious woman in a mink dress opened her mouth and exclaimed, "Really? There are such people?"
"Of course it is true. The old yard is going to be demolished, and the yard of that old thing without children or any family members, originally, was to be directly confiscated to become the assets of our community, but that old hag did not agree. So I think it's because that young man behind her just wanted money!" The woman in the black dress said with every detail described.
The three women really believed her.
"These days, some people can do everything for money." Someone sighed again and again.
Someone looked angry and resentful, "I can't understand this kind of person. Don't let me see him in the future. Otherwise, he will definitely be killed."
"It's too disgusting, what is going on in this world?" Someone sighed as if they were disappointed in this world.
Humanity, morality, and interests were fully demonstrated before the birthday banquet began.
...
On the other side, on the asphalt road leading to the Qiao's villa area, a Land Rover galloped past.
This car seemed to have long been famous in this city.
It ran past the red light all the way.
On the street, the other private car drivers not only did not complain at all but after seeing the car, they all evaded naturally.
Qiao Guyun was the driver while Han Zhi was sitting in the co-pilot seat.
The expressions of the two were extremely unnatural.
As for Ye Bei, sitting in the back row, he opened the window of the car, ignoring the cool breeze coming towards him, and looked at the scenery outside leisurely. The whole car was terribly quiet.
However, as the Land Rover drove fast, Ye Bei murmured a few words from time to time.
"Taihe Hospital? This change is really big. Decades ago, this was a torture ground, and countless people died. Now it has turned into a hospital, helping the wounded."
"Spider King Shoe City, if I'm correct, it should have been a black-hearted pawnshop at the beginning."
"Lanzhou Ramen used to be a chaotic grave, but now it's selling ramen instead."
"It seems that in the past few decades, the entire world has completely changed. The metamorphosis of life has changed. When this incident is resolved, no matter whether I find valuable information or not, I have to travel through this new world. ."
Ye Bei continued to murmur casually to himself from time to time.
It's just that his words, in the ears of Han Zhi and Qiao Guyun, were completely different.
In the hearts of the two of them, all were madly shocked.
Qiao Guyun: Is this guy really a lunatic? He was only seventeen or eighteen years old. He was not born decades ago. How could he know so much? Damn, what kind of existence have I provoked today?
Han Zhi: The stranger the person, the stronger his strength. He is also outrageously weird. If I hadn't seen his terrifying side, I guess any normal person would think he is a lunatic who ran out of the asylum, right?
In the hearts of the two of them, the more they thought about it, the colder the atmosphere in the car became. This strange feeling was more torturing than fear.
Naturally, Ye Bei didn't care about the reactions of these two people.
He sat quietly in car, watching the completely different scenery along the road receding backward. Those sceneries and the memories of the past in his mind were superimposed on each other, forming a very special feeling of the passing of years.
Even if he, Ye Bei lived for countless eras, he felt this way every time he came back in this world, but he still felt a little throbbing in his heart.
As time went by, when Land Rover got closer and closer to the Qiao's villa area, the speed of the car slowed down a lot.
On both sides of the street, the standing wealthy crowd gradually increased.
Moving on, the streets were full of people.
Although those people evaded after seeing Qiao Guyun's car, they were moving more slowly than walking.
In the driving position, Qiao Guyun was sweating on his forehead, and while slamming the horn, he said to Ye Bei, "Sir, we will be there soon. My car can be driven directly into the villa area. If I may ask, should we go inside directly or get out of the car and walk over?"
"The driving speed is too slow. Today's birthday banquet is full of people." Han Zhi also said with a low voice.
When he said this, the guy quickly calculated his heart.
There were so many people outside now...
When he got out of the car, he could find an opportunity to get into the crowd and run away and never come to this city again.
Ye Bei, on the other hand, saw the two people's thoughts at a glance, but his expression was very plain, "Then, stop."
Screech!
Qiao Guyun slammed on the brakes.
The Land Rover stopped and made a long trace on the asphalt road.
Squeak!
Ye Bei didn't wait for Han Zhi to come and open the door, so he pushed the door and got out of the car.
It's just... just after he got out of this car, a sharp voice came directly from a distance with a lot of anger, "Him, it's him... the pervert I just said is him!"
