    Chapter 475, the smell of conspiracy

    Interpersonal relationships are the primary productive force.  Huaxia is a country that pays attention to connections. If you want to accomplish something, it is really difficult without the help of friends with strong backgrounds.  Although Hong Kong has been under the British government for many years, this habit has not been completely eradicated.

    Banquets are an important channel for upper-class people to communicate. They can not only relax and enjoy the art of food and drink, but also enhance the personal feelings of friends or business partners and make new friends.  Formal business contacts are not as unbreakable as personal friendships based on people who went to prostitutes together.

    Of course, when Sikong Tu invited Ye Qiu and Ximen Xiangdong to attend his banquet, it was not for the purpose of making new friends with them.

    Ye Qiu took the antique invitation that still exuded a faint fragrance and looked at it carefully.  It was as if he was trying to find Sikong Tu¡¯s intention from this thin piece of paper.

    Normal invitations will add words in front of the banquet, such as fashion banquet, whiskey tasting party, etc., but Sikong Tu¡¯s invitation does not have such a clear name introduction.

    Ye Qiu felt strange. He handed the invitation to Ximen Xiangdong and asked, "What theme is the banquet? Do we need to prepare a lot? We can't fight a battle that we're not sure about, right?"

    Ximen Xiangdong took the invitation with his hand and said with a smile: "You know, for some reasons, the relationship between Sikong Tu and I is not very harmonious. Of course, these are not put on the table. Although we are all in Hong Kong,  There are still very few opportunities to meet each other. Moreover, he has only returned from studying in the UK in the past two years - perhaps because he was influenced by Western culture in the UK, or due to family considerations, he has organized many events since his return.  There have been so many banquets, but unfortunately, I have never been invited."

    Ye Qiu chuckled in his heart. Even though Ximen Xiangdong and Sikong Tu had not met, due to the transfer of power between the old and new families, they were bound to become lifelong rivals.

    The glory of the Sikong family reached its peak during the British rule, and then began to decline due to the end of the British rule.  At this time, the Ximen family is catching up and will inevitably compete for the interests of the Sikong family.

    A mountain cannot contain two tigers, unless there is a male and a female.  Unfortunately, they are all men.

    Ximen Xiangdong looked at Ye Qiu with half-smiling eyes, not without intending to provoke him, and said with a smile: "Being able to receive his invitation this time makes me feel that I have benefited from your honor."

    He is a smart man and knows that his in-person provocation will not offend Ye Qiu.  If someone who thinks he's smart tries to stir up trouble between the lines, that's a real taboo.  He knows exactly how to deal with smart people.

    Ye Qiu understood that maybe Sikong Tu sent him an invitation because of Ran Dongye.  What's his mind?

    Ye Qiu had no intention of getting involved in the conflict between the two families, but if Sikong Tu treated him as a weakling, he would have no one to blame.

    Ximen Xiangdong pretended not to see Ye Qiuchen. "One of the characteristics of his banquet is that he will not reveal the theme of the party beforehand. It gives the invited guests a sense of mystery and reverie. It is said that the effect is very good, and many people accept it."  I am honored to be invited to Sikong Tu.¡±

    "How does the current Sikong family compare with the Ximen family in terms of strength?" Ye Qiu asked, squinting his eyes.

    "Don't underestimate the influence of the Sikong family. When the British ruled Hong Kong, the Sikong family developed extremely rapidly by relying on their good friendship with the British. Even within a few decades, it developed into the largest family in Hong Kong. Sikong Tu's uncle was a British  Christopher Francis Patten, the last governor of Hong Kong during the colonial period, had the care of the local emperor of Hong Kong, so the Sikong family naturally did everything smoothly and without any scruples."

    Ximen Xiangdong took an unopened bottle of red wine from the wall cabinet at the door of the room, opened it with a wine opener, poured a glass for Ye Qiu and himself, and then walked to the sofa opposite Ye Qiu and sat down.  , and then said: "After the end of the British rule, the Sikong family's reputation suddenly dimmed. Just because of the vigorous development at that time and the contacts accumulated over decades, other families did not dare to take their ideas. Even if they don't now  Without the protection of the British, who knows how many MPs are guests in their homes?"

    After hearing Ximen Xiangdong¡¯s explanation, Ye Qiu became confused.  Could it be said that Sikong Tu invited him over to see his energy?  In that case, this banquet is quite interesting.

    "In this case, I have to go to this Hongmen Banquet." Ye Qiu said with a smile.  "I'm also becoming interested in the theme of tonight's banquet."

    Before it was time for dinner, Tang Guo, Lin Baoer, Ximen Qianyu and the others knew about the invitation sent by Sikong Tu.

    Tang Guo just had a good relationship with Ye Qiu, but she couldn't let it go in front of Ye Qiu.??My hands and feet are broken.  Although Ximen Qianyu concealed it well on the surface, he still had a small knot in his heart, so Lin Baoer was the most active one.

    "Ye Qiu, I can tell you, I must go to the banquet tonight." Lin Baoer grabbed Ye Qiu's arm and said threateningly.  A posture that says if you don¡¯t agree, I¡¯ll bite you off.  Miss Lin Baoer was very dissatisfied with being abandoned by Ye Qiu this afternoon.

    Ye Qiu nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead."

    "Hehe, do you agree?" Lin Baoer's chubby little face suddenly burst into laughter.

    "Yes. You go ahead. I have something to do tonight and I may not be able to leave."

    "¡ª¡ªYou damn Ye Qiu, you bastard Ye Qiu, I knew you had no good intentions. If you don't go, why should you let me go? I won't go." Lin Baoer shouted angrily.

    "When someone sends an invitation, there must be a representative there." Ye Qiu looked at Lin Bao'er and said awkwardly: "If you are not willing to go, then I will take the time to go and have a look."

    "Okay. Let's go together." Lin Baoer said holding Ye Qiudi's arm.

    "I'm going too," Tang Guo said.

    Ximen Qianyu was embarrassed to ask Ye Qiu's opinion, but he glared at his brother Ximen Xiangdong, who nodded in agreement.

    Ran Dongye looked at everyone and said, "Are you all going? I thought you weren't going. Sikong Tu asked someone to send the invitation to my assistant. The assistant called just now and I asked her to refuse. If you  If they all go, then should I call the assistant quickly and ask her not to refuse?"

    Ye Qiu cursed in his heart, this bastard really had no good intentions.

    Ye Qiu is a generous man, and naturally he will not show his unhappiness on his face, and said: "There is nothing to do at night anyway, let's go and experience Hong Kong's nightlife together."

    Sikong Tu felt slightly disappointed after listening to the butler¡¯s report that Ran Dongye¡¯s assistant rejected his banquet invitation.

    Ran Dongye didn¡¯t have much time in Hong Kong, and even less time for his pursuits.  What's more, what makes people feel angry is that he didn't even ask for Ran Dongye's phone number.

    Of course, if he wanted to find Ran Dongye's number through another winding route, it wouldn't be too difficult.  However, there is a big difference between getting something from an outsider and asking for it personally from the person involved.

    With his pride, he would not do such a thing.

    "Cousin, I'm not talking about you, what's so good about Ran Dongye? Why did you fall for her? With your conditions, what kind of woman can't be found? If you are interested in celebrities, this  Leave it to me. Whichever one you like, I will help you get her. As long as you name her, I can let her lie on your bed tonight. It means that the one you like is the popular Kailin in the United States. I  I can also tie her up for you." An Tie, Sikong Tu's cousin, said with hatred.  He and Sikong Tu had studied together in England for many years. Although he was not outstanding in terms of intelligence and ability, he was loyal to Sikong Tu and won Sikong Tu's trust.  The tone of speaking to Sikong Tu was also straightforward.

    ¡°That¡¯s your type, right?¡± Sikong Tu said with a smile.  Sikong Tu is the most popular man among women in Hong Kong. Every banquet he holds attracts ladies and gentlemen.  However, he did not object to his cousin's direct way of speaking.

    Sometimes, he also gets tired of those people¡¯s pleasantries and hypocrisy.  If you eat too many exquisite side dishes, it¡¯s good to change the taste occasionally.

    "You have also seen the attitude of that woman today. She has another man, why do we need a broken shoe?" An Tie said angrily, as if he had been greatly insulted.

    Sikong Tu¡¯s face suddenly turned cold, and his eyes that had always given off gentleness and wisdom became cold and cruel.  Looking at An Tie, he said, "This is the last time, okay? I don't want to hear bad words about her again in the future."

    An Tie was very afraid of Sikong Tu being angry. Even though he didn't hit or scold him, he still felt a chill running down his spine when he looked at him like this.  It was as if my heart stopped beating at that moment.

    "I just don't want you to be insulted." An Tie explained dullly.

    "Insult? You don't understand." Sikong Tu shook his head gently.

    How could a man who was about to take charge of the fate of his family have his emotions swayed by an insignificant woman?

    ¡°In that case, wouldn¡¯t I, the heir to the Sikong family, be too unqualified?

    For what he wants to do, Ran Dongye is just a breakthrough.  Although, I really like her.

    Life is like sailing against the current, if you don¡¯t advance, you will retreat.  As a member of the Sikong family, how can you?Watching the Sikong family lose their former glory and fall step by step until they fall to a position that others can no longer see?

    The honor of the family will be created by oneself.  And that man from Yanjing is the key to his brilliant achievements.

    Ye Qiu, I¡¯m waiting for you!
