Chapter 475, The Taste of Conspiracy

Interpersonal relationships are the primary productive force. China is a country that emphasizes connections. If you want to do something, it is really difficult to do without the help of friends with deep backgrounds. Although Hong Kong has been affiliated with the British government for many years, this habit has not been completely erased.

Banquets are an important channel for communication for upper-class people. They can not only relax their body and mind and enjoy the art of food, but also enhance the personal feelings of friends or business partners and make new friends. Formal business interactions are not as strong as private friendships in prostitution together.

Of course, Sikong Tu invited Ye Qiu and Ximen Xiangdong to attend his banquet, naturally not to make friends with them.

Ye Qiu took the invitation that was quaint and emitting a faint fragrance, and looked through it carefully, as if he was trying to find Sikong Tu's intention from this thin piece of paper.

Generally, invitations will add words before the banquet, such as fashion banquets, whiskey tasting, etc., but Sikongtu's invitations do not have such a clear name introduction.

Ye Qiu was surprised and handed the invitation to Ximen Xiangdong and asked, "What theme banquet? Do we need to prepare for it? We can't fight a battle that is not sure, right?"

Ximen Xiangdong took the invitation with his hand and said with a smile: "You know, for some reasons, my relationship with Sikong Tu is not very harmonious. Of course, these are not on the table. Although we are in Hong Kong, we still have 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 for family reasons, he has held many banquets after he came back. Unfortunately, I have never been invited."

Ye Qiu chuckled in his heart. Even though Ximen Xiangdong and Sikong Tu did not meet, they would definitely become lifelong rivals because of the transfer of power from the new and old family.

The glory of the Sikong family reached its peak during the British reign, and began to fall due to the end of the British reign. At this time, the Ximen family caught up and would inevitably compete for the interests of the Sikong family.

A mountain cannot accommodate two tigers unless one male and one female. Unfortunately, they are both men.

Ximen Xiangdong looked at Ye Qiu with a smile on his face, not without the intention of provoking in the middle, and said with a smile: "I feel that I am glorious to receive his invitation this time."

He is a smart person and knows that his face-to-face provocation will not make Ye Qiu disgusted. If he is smart and provoked between the lines, that is a real taboo. He knows very clearly how to deal with smart people.

Ye Qiu understood that maybe Sikongtu sent him an invitation because of Ran Dongye. What kind of idea was he thinking?

Ye Qiu didn't think of getting into conflicts between the two major families, but if Sikong Tu treats himself as a soft persimmon, he will not blame himself.

Ximen Xiangdong pretended not to see Ye Qiuchen. "He would have a feature of holding a banquet, that is, he would not expose the theme of the party before. He gave the invited guests a sense of mystery and imagination. It is said that the effect is very good, and many people are proud of receiving the invitation from Sikongtu."

"How strong is the Sikong family compared to the Ximen family now?" Ye Qiu asked with his eyes narrowed.

"Don't underestimate the influence of the Sikong family. When the British ruled Hong Kong, the Sikong family developed extremely rapidly with their good friendship with the British. Even over the past few decades, they developed into the largest family in Hong Kong. Sikong Tu's uncle was Christopher Francis Patten, the last governor of the British dynasty. With the care of this native Hong Kong emperor, the Sikong family naturally had a smooth journey in everything they did without any scruples."

Ximen Xiangdong took the bottle of red wine from the wall cabinet at the door of the room, unscrewed it with a wine opener, poured a glass of it for Ye Qiu and himself, then walked to the sofa opposite Ye Qiu, sat down, and continued: "After the end of the British dynasty, the scenery of the Sikong family suddenly dimmed. It was just because of the vigorous development that year and the connections accumulated over the decades, other families did not dare to make up their ideas. Even now, without the protection of the British, who can know how many members of the parliamentarians are their guests?"

After listening to Ximen Xiangdong's explanation, Ye Qiu was confused. Could it be that Sikong Tu invited him to come over to see his energy? In that case, this banquet would be quite interesting.

"In this way, I have to go to this Hongmen Banquet." Ye Qiu said with a smile. "I am also beginning to be interested in the theme of the banquet tonight."

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

Tang Guo and Ye Qiu had just become that good thing, but they were a little reluctant to let go in front of Ye Qiu. Although Ximen Qianyu was very concealed on the surface, she still had a confusion in her heart, so the most active expression was Lin Baoer.

"Ye Qiu, I will tell you that I must go to the banquet tonight." Lin Baoer grabbed Ye Qiu's arm and said threateningly. The posture of biting me if you don't agree. Being left by Ye Qiu this afternoon has already made Miss Lin Baoer very dissatisfied.

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

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

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

"----You dead Ye Qiu, bastard Ye Qiu, I knew you were not kind. If you don't go, why should I let me go? I just won't go." Lin Baoer shouted in anger.

"When people send an invitation, there must be a representative over there." Ye Qiu looked at Lin Baoer and said embarrassedly: "If you don't want to go, then I'll take time to go over and take 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 for his opinion, but glared at his brother Ximen Xiangdong a few times, and Ximen Xiangdong nodded in agreement.

Ran Dongye looked at everyone and said, "You all go? I thought you weren't there. Sikongtu asked someone to send the invitation to my assistant. The assistant called just now, and I asked her to refuse. If you all go, should I call the assistant quickly and tell her not to refuse?"

Ye Qiu cursed in his heart, this bastard was indeed uneasy and kind.

Ye Qiu is a generous man, so he naturally would not express his unhappiness on his face and said, "Anyway, there is nothing to do at night, so let's go and see the nightlife in Hong Kong together."

After listening to the butler's report, Sikong Tu felt a little disappointed after saying that Ran Dongye's assistant rejected his invitation to the banquet.

Ran Dongye did not have much time in Hong Kong, and he had very little time to pursue. Moreover, it made people feel angry that he did not even have to arrive Ran Dongye’s phone number.

Of course, it would not be too difficult for him to find the number of Ran Dongyedi in another way. However, there is a big difference between what an outsider gives and what an outsider asks for someone in person.

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

"Cousin, it's not me who said you, what's the point of that Ran Dongye? Why did you fall into her? What kind of woman can't be found based on your conditions? If you are interested in celebrities, leave this to me. If you like someone, I'll help you get her done. As long as you say a name, I can let her lie on your bed tonight. Even if you like Karin, the most popular American one, I can tie her up for you." Sikongtu's cousin An Tie said with regret. He and Sikongtu have been studying in the UK for many years. Although they are not outstanding in terms of intelligence, they are loyal to Sikongtu and have gained the trust of Sikongtu. The tone of speaking to Sikongtu was also straightforward.

"That's the type you like, right?" Sikong Tu said with a smile. Sikong Tu is the man who is most cheered by women in Hong Kong. Every time he holds a banquet, those famous ladies and ladies are like her. However, he is not opposed to his cousin's direct way of speaking.

Sometimes, he is also tired of the greetings and hypocrisy of those people. If he eats too many exquisite side dishes, it is good to change the taste occasionally.

"You have also seen the attitude of that woman today. If she has other men, why do we need a torn shoe?" An Tie said with anger, as if he had received such a great insult.

Sikong Tu's face suddenly became cold, and his eyes, which had always been gentle and wise, turned cold and cruel. He looked at An Tie and said, "This is the last time, okay? In the future, I don't want to hear bad things about her again."

An Tie was very afraid that Sikong Tu would be angry. Even if he didn't beat or scold him, he felt a chilling feeling when he looked at him with such eyes. It seemed that his heart stopped beating at that moment.

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

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

How could a man who is about to take charge of the fate of his family be influenced by an irrelevant woman?

In that case, isn’t my heir to the Sikong family too ineligible?

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

Life is like sailing against the current, and if you don’t advance, you will retreat. As a member of the Sikong family, how can you watch the Sikong family lose its former glory and fall down 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. The man who came from Yanjing is the key to his own glory.

Ye Qiu, I'll wait for you!
