Chapter 467 Hou Xiaofeng
"Who is he? Do you know him? He speaks Mandarin." Li Chun asked.
“I don’t know you, you’re just babbling.” Li Yan curled her lips, “Let’s go shopping first, and I’ll look back later.”
Fortunately, my parents stood far away and were fluent in Mandarin. It's not a habit. I didn't hear the phrase "can't refuse", otherwise it would be really difficult to get over it.
Where did this nonsense come from, so shameless?
With such an inexplicable episode, Li Yan's shopping mood was somewhat affected.
Fortunately, he now has very strong emotional control ability, or very strong acting ability, so Li Chun and Chen Fengling didn't see anything wrong.
They themselves are often stuffed with inexplicable invitations, let alone Li Yan.
Shopping that was supposed to be peaceful and happy turned into a tired emotional control performance, and an unknown fire arose in Li Yan's heart.
Good guy, look who you are.
After returning home, Li Yan pretended to have some work to do and locked himself in the study room that no one usually used.
Opening the invitation, the content is very simple:
On the evening of August 6th, Dinglong Hotel 999, please tell me.
Signed by: Hou Xiaofeng.
What the hell?
Li Yan had never heard of this person, and he had never seen such an invitation.
Sure enough, Shen Naotao's subordinates correspond to the even more Shen Naotao boss.
He did know some information about the Dinglong Hotel. It was a super restaurant built when Li Yan was just in elementary school, but the business has never been very prosperous.
There are all kinds of random legends. The most widely circulated theory is:
This is not a serious restaurant. The boss is wandering in the gray area of Lin City. It happened in the 1990s. Although he has a lot of money, he doesn't dare to raise his tail too much now, so he keeps a low profile in the name of running a big restaurant.
I heard that he is still a white glove for many people, and the interests involved are too deep, which is also the reason why he can be relatively high-profile and active to this day.
Of course Li Yan knows that such people exist, and they can be found everywhere.
But the route Li Yan took had no intersection with theirs. They had different paths and did not conspire with each other, so no one affected the other.
Why do you still come to me on your own initiative?
Li Yan frowned thinking about it.
No. 999 of Dinglong Hotel is one of the best rooms at first glance. The person who can use this room is probably the legendary boss.
In addition to those who wander in the gray area, both the black and white sides must have resources. Li Yan is not worried about the white side at all now, but the black side is really hard to guard against.
It seems that there is always a bit of metaphysics in everything, and the ominous premonition that suddenly came over Li Yan on the way home finally materialized.
Judging from the fact that someone directly handed the invitation to Li Yan offline and said "can't refuse", I'm afraid there are indeed some unpleasant tactics.
It is not difficult to know where your parents are...
Li Yan's face turned ugly, but his frown did not relax, because there was still a very crucial question lingering in his mind:
How dare this b?
A fucking white glove from Lincheng who doesn’t even dare to raise his tail now dares to threaten Li Yan so openly?
Can’t you carry it clearly?
I can even refuse to give face to the boss of Lincheng for dinner, who the hell are you?
Just as I was thinking about it, my phone suddenly rang with an unfamiliar number.
"Hello?"
"Hello? Is this Mr. Li Yan?"
"Yes."
"I am Chen Xu, Secretary Chen. I was really abrupt last time and was severely punished by the leader..."
This guy just talks a lot of nonsense, but Li Yan has questions to ask now, so he can only listen patiently.
"So now I would like to extend a sincere invitation to you. Do you think you are free tonight? The two leaders still want to communicate with you..."
"Secretary Chen, tonight Someone just happened to make an appointment with me in a very impolite way. "
"Not very... polite?" Chen Xu thought Li Yan was picking on him.
“Dinglong Hotel, do you know?”
"Oh?" Secretary Chen asked, then remained silent.
"Someone asked me to come to the Dinglong Hotel to talk, and it conflicts with your time."
If Li Yan doesn't want to participate in Secretary Chen's game, there is no need to say so many words. .
So Secretary Chen understood it and said, "Lao Cai is like this. He doesn't do things right. I'll help you reject it."
"Lao Cai?"
"Dinglong's boss, isn't he? He didn't even invite him personally?"
"...It's okay, then it's all thanks to Secretary Chen."
"Where, where, it should be, I’ll send you the address and room later. See you tonight.”
After hanging up the phone, Li Yan didn’t look relaxed.
Judging from Secretary Chen’s reaction, Boss Cai is not very important.
Who is the signed "Hou Xiaofeng"?
What he never expected was that before Li Yan put down the phone, Secretary Chen called back again:
“Mr. Li, you’d better go to Dinglong tonight. Let's move the invitation to another time."
"...Okay, Secretary Chen," Li Yan asked directly, "Who is Hou Xiaofeng?"
"I... Not sure either. ”
What about the liar?
Li Yan suddenly remembered an online article he had read on the second day of junior high school in his previous life - he read it on a computer.
Obviously, the early stage is a very exciting urban battle of wits. The protagonist gradually gets to know big shots from a small gangster who has mastered the art of invisibility, and has his own power. Because he is decisive in killing without losing his wits, Li Yan is very impressed. .
But the book has only been written to 500,000 words, and the strongest group of superpower masters on the list have almost appeared.
Seeing that the male protagonist will soon be invincible, readers have an ominous premonition.
Especially when a certain "mysterious old man" appears.
No matter how you look at it, it sounds like you are going to become an immortal.
Li Yan also specially joined a fan group at that time. The most popular question in the group was "Are you going to turn to fantasy?"
The author vowed that "absolutely impossible", and everyone followed. Went down.
After the last sentence "My master" appeared, he really entered various realms of cultivation. The so-called invincibility in the world and the enemy from the sky. It turns out that after a long time, the earth city is just the first map. A group of people are confused. Teleported to the fairy world, there are countless rankings on the top of the list...
Li Yan thought that was a rare speechless moment in his life.
Why... is it going to happen again now?
Could it be some immortal who has lived for hundreds of years and wants him to be more beautiful?
The system is actually a Nascent Soul?
It’s so beautiful to think about, it starts directly from the Nascent Soul stage.
"The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy means you can fight a hundred battles with no danger."
After thinking about it, Li Yan thought about it, and the only person he could ask was probably Wei Yili.
"Hou Xiaofeng?" Unexpectedly, Wei Yili's reaction was very big. "I don't know if he is the one I thought of, but he is able to make the leaders of Lincheng give in. It is probably him."
"...Who?"
"We are not from the same group. , all three." Wei Yili's voice was extremely serious, "I can't say more about his specific resume. He has been publicly known as Hou Moufeng for many years. He actually controls three capital consortiums and is involved in many industries, including gray industries. Yes, there are also pillar industries..."
Li Yan frowned.
“Thirteen years ago, there was a gangster named Hu in Linjiang, who was called the underground emperor of Linjiang. Later, he was suddenly removed. Many of his properties were either laundered or distributed, but in the end They were all dominated by Mr. Hou, people who knew him at the time called him. "Shadow Emperor""
"How do you know this? I have never heard of it?"
"He also came to me seven years ago." br>
“And?”
"He gave me 30 million, and I later repaid him 7 billion."
Li Yan was silent.
“He actually went to Lincheng.” Wei Yili sounded like he was pacing and talking at the same time, “This is all for you.”
“The way he invited me Not happy.”
< br>"Li Yan," Wei Yili stopped, "seven years ago, his properties were spread all over Linjiang. The network resources he has are probably beyond imagination. You don't have to be friends with him, but don't be enemies."
"I know." "Not everyone stands in the open, and not everyone will stand on your side." Wei Yili's voice sounded inexplicably anxious, "Some people dare to do it but don't have the resources, and some people have the resources but don't." Dare to do it, Mr. Hou has the resources, dares to do it, and has the ability to do it.”
Have the resources, dares to do it, and has the ability to do it.
These three descriptions are too valuable when applied to a person who takes both black and white.
"Mr. Wei, do you think you are someone who dares to do it?"
"Compared to him, I neither have the resources nor dare to do it."
Li Yan has never experienced such great pressure.
"Li Yan, listen to me and go. He does things with consequences. Although his methods may be unpleasant, he is not a lunatic. Inviting you probably has the same purpose as inviting me to dinner seven years ago."< br>
“Expand your network?”
“It is also an investment game.”
After ending the call with Wei Yili, Li Yan felt an unspeakable emotion in his heart.
Those "Linjiang Emperor" and "Shadow Emperor" just sounded like a special adult.
But it’s not funny at all.
Especially coming from Wei Yili’s mouth.
In the eyes of many people, Wei Yili himself is the "Emperor" of Linjiang Real Estate.
There is only one reason why adults with sufficient social status are willing to speak second-grade vocabulary.
That person deserves it.
Li Yan knew that besides the route he was working on, there was another route for society to operate, which followed other laws.
But I didn’t expect to find him so quickly.
He doesn't think this is a good opportunity. Li Yan has a system in place. As long as he develops steadily, it will be a matter of time before he becomes invincible.
If he's short of money, he can make a mobile phone and earn ten billion. He doesn't need Mr. Hou's investment.
If you get pulled into the water, you're doomed.
But as Wei Yili said, he had better go to the banquet tonight.
Crap... I just returned to Lincheng and still refused the boss's meal in Lincheng so coolly and confidently. I thought to myself that this is fucking freedom, but soon I won't be free anymore.
After being threatened, I still have to go to the meeting despite the risks...
Then let me see who you are, Mr. Hou.
Li Yan was thinking, and the phone rang again.
"Mr. Li, I'm waiting for you at the door of your community. I'm ready to leave at any time."
Li Yan looked out the window and saw that there was indeed a Rolls-Royce parked at the door of the community... .
"OK."
After telling her parents that she was going to meet a friend that evening, Li Yan changed into a suit, put a folded knife in the lining pocket, and quickly went downstairs.
Should I say it or not, although there was a sentence of "cannot refuse" when inviting, when it came to the actual operation, it was respected enough.
The young man in the dark blue shirt had a very low posture and was sitting in the passenger seat.
The driver drove very steadily, wore white gloves, and was even polite to other vehicles.
Dinglong Hotel is in the city center and the distance is actually very short.
Li Yan originally thought about coming to such a high-profile place, which was rumored to be problematic. It would be troublesome if he got out of the car and was photographed.
As a result, the car drove straight into the lobby and even drove all the way to a small room.
When the car stopped and the huge fence door was closed, Li Yan realized that the so-called small room was a fucking large elevator.
This Rolls-Royce was transported to the ninth floor - which is also the top floor.
The young man quickly got out of the car and opened the door for Li Yan.
"Mr. Li, please, the master is waiting for you in room 999."
"You are very polite now." Li Yan got out of the car and glanced at him.
"When you come, you are the master's distinguished guest, and you should do whatever you want."
"What if I don't come?"
"No if, you have already Coming.”
Li Yan took a deep look at him and then, under the guidance of a beautiful woman in cheongsam, walked into room 999 with the door half open.
As soon as she walked in, the beauty gently closed the door.
I have to say that Li Yan was shocked by the scene in front of him.
In this modern restaurant, an entire temple's head gate was moved in.
Half of the huge room is a splendid temple, and the other half is decorated like a traditional restaurant parlor. It is simply a collision of two time and space.
A man with slightly gray hair was sitting by the window making tea. In front of him was a large round dining table that could seat thirty people, with several dishes already placed on it.
"The distinguished guest is here, Xiao Cai, there is no place for you here." The man's voice was hoarse and sounded unhealthy.
Li Yan then noticed that there was a man kneeling in the temple offering incense. He was a little fat and lame. After offering incense, he nodded to Li Yan and left happily. Room.
This should be the owner of Dinglong Restaurant.
"Li Yan, come on, let's drink two cups of tea first."
Li Yan walked forward and sat next to the man.
“Hou Xiaofeng.” Mr. Hou smiled and stretched out his hand.
"Li Yan." Li Yan held the hands full of rings, and it felt like pinching a bunch of wooden toys.
"Your distinguished guest, you are young and promising."
"Mr. Hou, you are welcome."
"I heard that you refused Secretary Mo's meal?"
"Yes."
"The young man has a good temperament, not bad." Although Hou Xiaofeng's hair is gray, his complexion is rosy and his skin is shiny. Although his temperament is good, it’s a bit difficult to judge his age. “The young man here made me invite him and said some unpleasant things.”
“It’s because he is ignorant.” Li Yan said with a smile.
Hou Xiaofeng narrowed his eyes and said, "You are only sixteen, right?"
"Yes."
"How old do you think I am?"
"Can't tell, forty or fifty?"
"Forty or fifty, I can't invest Wei Yili." Mr. Hou smiled, "It's an old man, sixty-two."
You actually mentioned Wei Yili? But it's normal. The relationship between Li Yan and Wei Yili is unusual now, so don't think too much about it.
"It's not a big deal to invite you here today. There are only a few juniors that I, Hou Xiaofeng, like, and you are particularly outstanding among them."
Li Yan nodded.
“So, I just want to chat with you. We are all over the world, let’s chat casually.”
“Then I will also learn from Mr. Hou.”
“ Let’s go and eat. Xiao Cai, I told him not to cook too early. Even though it’s hot, some dishes won’t taste good if they’re overcooked.”
"Please, Mr. Hou."
Wang Li Yan walked forward and glanced inside the temple's front door. Just opposite the place where Mr. Cai was offering incense, there was a small coffin.
"That's nothing," Hou Xiaofeng smiled and waved to Li Yan, "They are all my God of Wealth. I have to take them with me wherever I go."
