Gu Zhongtian took a deep breath, looked at Li Xiang and said slowly, "He is very good!"
This was his highest praise for Prime Minister Li.
He is so powerful at such a young age, and his potential is truly endless!
"But, he was the one who killed your third uncle. I'm afraid there's no way to fix the matter!"
"Dad! This matter has nothing to do with him. As soon as he met me, he asked me for a family loan, otherwise I would have to pay for it with my life! If Li Xiang hadn't happened to know the eldest son of the Ren family and took action to resolve the matter, I would have
Your life is at risk!" Gu Taozhi said with reason.
"Nonsense!" Gu Zhongtian yelled, and then realized his gaffe, and said calmly, "Your third uncle has watched you grow up, how could he put your life in danger? I have been his brother for many years, who is he?
I don’t know yet?”
"Besides, I asked your third uncle to come to Shonan to visit you. You haven't practiced with your family for a long time? I'm also worried about you!"
Gu Taozhi suddenly realized that he had forgotten about this...
After all, I had been busy with Prime Minister Li's work on opening up the meridians before, but I didn't expect to get into such a thing...
"Besides, the family is in a tight situation right now, and I have no choice but to do it. Now you want me to see what you did during these hours? Did you spend all the money to buy these stones? Or did you spend it all on Li Xiang?" Gu Zhongtian
He looked at Gu Taozhi solemnly and said.
"Yes, but it didn't cost much!" Gu Taozhi replied.
This sentence is indeed true. After all, these jade merchants bought these at a huge discount just for Li Xiang's sake. The total cost is simply negligible compared to tens of thousands.
"Are you still lying to me? How much money has it not cost? I already know about you borrowing money outside, can you still continue to lie to me?" Gu Zhongtian said coldly.
The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.
Li Xiang suddenly realized that the dark circles under Gu Taozhi's eyes were like this. Has Gu Taozhi from a wealthy family in Beijing fallen to the point of borrowing money from others?
"Dad, have I ever told a lie since I was a child?" Gu Taozhi said helplessly,
"Even if all the money is spent on Li Xiang, cultivating such a master is an absolutely cost-effective deal! You have to believe in your daughter's vision!"
Gu Taozhi knew that Gu Zhongjin died in a big family and the pros and cons of roping in a master were weighed. His father definitely knew it, but Gu Zhongjin died in southern Hunan without any explanation.
The blood relationship is so special, it’s nothing more than an excuse to show off.
As for the specific reason... Gu Zhongtian looked down on Li Xiang's identity and felt that it was a wrong choice for him to help Li Xiang. He then used this to deal with Li Xiang. This would not only give an explanation to the Gu family, but also give an explanation to the offended Wang Bai.
Let the two families explain it to each other!
"Ridiculous! You have only been out for a long time, and you can already understand a person? Is it possible that I, who have lived for forty or fifty years, are not as discerning as you, who have lived for twenty years? Our Gu family will not feel superior just because we cultivate a person!"
"Momo, you disappoint me so much!"
"I..."
"Uncle Gu."
Li Xiang couldn't listen anymore and immediately interrupted.
"I know what you mean."
Gu Zhongtian immediately frowned and said, "Who are you, and you dare to interrupt my conversation with Gu Taozhi? Do you think you are invincible after defeating two Taoist priests? You still know what I mean!"
In Gu Zhongtian's mind, this Li Xiang is nothing more than a powerful mountain village man. How could he possibly understand the meaning of being in a high position?
"No, Uncle Gu is wrong. I understand what you mean and I also know what you want." Li Xiang remained unmoved.
"Heh, tell me then." Gu Zhongtian sneered.
"What Uncle Gu just said was nothing more than two things, one is money and the other is life. Now that Uncle Gu has lost both money and life, it is naturally difficult to explain to the family. Am I right?" Li Xiang lit up a cigarette.
, said calmly.
A trace of surprise flashed in Gu Zhongtian's eyes, and he said sternly, "I've checked all your details, so what if I know this? Is it possible that you can take your life back to me?"
Li Xiang blew out a breath of smoke and looked up without fear, "Uncle Gu knows my details so well? Then before you came to me, did you ever think that you would be defeated like this today? I am standing right here.
Here, Uncle Gu, can you come and get it?"
"How brave!" Gu Zhongtian glanced at Gu Tian who was standing aside, his face a little embarrassed.
"Okay, it seems that Uncle Gu hasn't completely gotten to know me yet, so I'll give Uncle Gu a chance to get to know me." Li Xiang glanced at his phone. It was already early morning.
"We'll be here at six o'clock tonight. I'll host a banquet for you on the second floor. It's up to Uncle Gu to decide whether you come or not."
After Li Xiang finished speaking, he put his hands in his pockets with a cigarette in his mouth and walked calmly towards the rooftop gate.
Gu Tian came to Gu Zhongtian at this time, "Master, Miss, this person is so arrogant...even I don't take him seriously, I'm afraid..."
"What do you mean?" Gu Zhongtian was confused.
Since Gu Tiandu commented so much on Li Xiang, it seems that he does have a few brushes.
"..." Gu Tian shook his head and had no intention of continuing.
The time soon arrived at night.
Gu Zhongtian arrived as promised, but his face didn't look good, and he didn't know if it was because he didn't have a good rest.
Coming to the second floor of Tianxiang Wanjing, there is a standard banquet hall, a place specially customized for hosting banquets.
After Gu Zhongtian brought Gu Taozhi and Gu Tian up, the first thing he saw was a long banner: Happy birthday to Li Xiang, the director of the hotel!
Gu Zhongtian frowned and asked disdainfully, "Hotel director? Taozhi, you bought this hotel for him too?"
Gu Taozhi shook his head, "I didn't buy it. I only found out a few days ago that he is the director of this hotel."
While talking, a group of people walked into the banquet hall.
Looking around, there are at least nearly a hundred tables, and the scene is quite large.
Gu Zhongtian glanced at the time, but it was just half past five, so it was still early and no one was coming.
"Li Xiang was born to deliver food, so people who don't know how to invite people are also delivering food, right?" Gu Zhongtian said with a sneer.
"Well, dad, who he invites doesn't seem to have anything to do with us, right?" Gu Taozhi said to excuse Li Xiang.
"Mozhi, you don't know that I usually don't have time to attend banquets like this, and I rarely arrive in advance. Looking at it now, we are sitting here alone like fools. It would be unpleasant for anyone else."
Gu Taozhi rolled his eyes and said, "Who asked you to come to southern Hunan!"
"I, Gu Zhongtian, have to see what this kid is capable of today! He can be so arrogant!" Gu Zhongtian canceled all his morning air tickets in order to attend today's banquet.
For no other reason than to see how this boy could make his daughter so desperate!
Gu Zhongtian and the other three waited for more than ten minutes. Logically speaking, someone should be on the table during this time.
However, there were only three of them sitting at the huge Bai Lai table!
Gu Zhongtian could feel crows flying in the air above his head.
"Miss, what's going on?" Gu Tian couldn't hold his breath at this time and asked.
He has followed Gu Zhongtian for many years and is the absolute center of communication at dinner parties. He has never waited for hundreds of tables alone like today!
Isn't this a shame?
"I, I don't know..." It's not like Gu Taozhi didn't call, but the other party's phone was also busy and couldn't be contacted at all.
But judging from Gu Taozhi's knowledge, Li Xiang is not the kind of person who makes jokes.
Just as the time was approaching six o'clock, a figure in yellow flashed from the door.
Who is it if it’s not Li Xiang?
Li Xiang was particularly conspicuous in his takeout clothes, and so were the three Gu Zhongtian people in the banquet hall.
"What's going on? Why are there only three of you?"
Li Xiang scratched his head and was at a loss.
"You still ask us?! I still want to ask you!? What is going on?" Gu Zhongtian looked livid and looked at Li Xiang angrily and said, "What do you mean? You came to humiliate me on purpose, thinking that we are easy to bully.
?”
"Li Xiang, you, this..." Gu Taozhi couldn't say anything more at this time and could only cast a confused look.
"Misunderstanding! Really misunderstanding, I shouted to someone, but now only the three of you are here, I'm also very surprised..." Li Xiang looked hurriedly, and took out his mobile phone, preparing to call to inquire, but it didn't seem like it.
Fake.
"Ha, it's normal for people like you not to come to your birthday! Dinner is not just about eating. It's essentially a medium for exchanging favors and taking advantage of each other. You'd better study more!" Gu Zhongtian sneered.
.
"Is that so? I thought it was just a simple meal." Li Xiang replied truthfully.
After hearing this, Gu Zhongtian shook his head, completely lost his patience, and stood up from his seat, "Let's go, no one else will come to give him face, and there is no need for me to stay any longer!"
Just when Gu Zhongtian was about to pull out his stool and get up to leave.
Li Xiang's phone just happened to get through at this time. After a few words, the ceiling on the second floor instantly began to vibrate!
It seems like there are thousands of horses galloping upstairs, and it becomes restless!
After a while, a large number of people in suits and leather shoes, rich and wealthy, came from all over Shonan Province, and people working in business and politics abound, and the gift collection point at the door was filled almost instantly.
Got it!
"Miracle Doctor Li! I heard it was your birthday today, so I rushed to find a hotel to stay at yesterday, for fear of missing your birthday!"
"Divine Doctor Li, we didn't dare to take a seat before you arrived, for fear of being treated as a freeloader. I brought you the best jade in our city today, please accept it!"
"Divine Doctor Li! You saved my wife, and I brought you my ancestral calligraphy and painting. Please don't refuse. I'll leave it at the door with you!"
"Shendo Li, on behalf of the Shao City Health Bureau, I wish you a happy birthday!"
"Shenyi Li, on behalf of our Heng City Municipal Committee, I wish you a happy birthday!"
