Chapter 324
Wu Donghai was very satisfied with Liu Guang's attitude, nodded slightly, and walked into Tianxiang Mansion.
Inside Tianxiang Mansion, Hong Wu had already arranged for people to prepare the dishes, and the other invited people had already arrived early and waited for a long time.
Whether it was Hong Wu, Qin Gang, or Wang Zhenggang, the attitude of these three toward the Wu family father and son was the same: don't suck up to them, but don't offend them either.
That was why they accepted the invitation from the Wu family father and son and came to attend this banquet.
In fact, everyone understood clearly and had discussed this matter privately. Everyone's idea was to give the Wu family some face and be polite, but in reality, they still hoped to follow Master Ye Chen.
As for the others, they were all here to hug the Wu family's leg.
After all, the Wu family was the number one family in Jiangnan. To many small and medium-sized families, it was like a towering tree covered with various fruits, and every monkey hoped to hang on this tree.
Therefore, seeing the Wu family father and son enter the diamond private room, the people from the other families stood up almost instantly to welcome them.
Among them, the head of the Zhao family was the first to flatter: "Mr. Wu, you are truly imposing, and Young Master Wu is also a talent. As expected of our number one family in Jiangnan, this style is just different!"
Another head of the Kong family also nodded repeatedly, echoing: "Yes! I have often seen Mr. Wu's heroic posture in reports before. Seeing the real person today, I realized that Mr. Wu is even more outstanding than in the reports!"
Wu Donghai gave a faint hum, his face majestic, and scanned the surroundings.
Sitting here were all big figures with names in Jin Ling. The heads of the Zhao, Kong, and Liu families were always extremely respectful to him, and the intention to suck up was particularly strong.
As for Wang Zhenggang, Qin Gang, and Master Hong Wu, these three had calm faces and indifferent expressions. They would be polite, but it was just ordinary courtesy, and there was no heartfelt flattery toward him.
Although Wu Donghai didn't show anything, he was secretly unhappy with Wang Zhenggang and the others in his heart.
Liu Guang followed behind Wu Donghai like a grandson. As soon as he came in, he saw Master Hong Wu in the private room and immediately stared at him with an extremely resentful look.
In his eyes, Master Hong Wu and he had long since formed a blood feud!
His precious son had the words 'Poor Diao' carved on his forehead by him, which was simply one of the two biggest jokes in Jin Ling during this period.
The other joke was the matter of the Wu family's second son, Wu Qi, eating shit.
However, everyone was afraid of the Wu family's strength and majesty, so they only dared to mock this matter in private. But by comparison, the Liu family's strength was very average, so the story of Liu Guang's son, Liu Ming, was widely spread in Jin Ling and was the subject of gossip for countless people after tea and dinner.
Just the day before yesterday, Liu Guang was handling business outside and accidentally heard two children around ten years old scolding each other. One scolded the other as a 'Poor Diao', and the other immediately scolded back: "Liu Ming is the real 'Poor Diao', I am not!"
When Liu Guang heard this, he slapped the kid, causing the child to fall to the ground. The other party's father came to reason with him, but was beaten by his driver and bodyguards until he was sent to the hospital.
However, in the whole of Jin Ling, there were too many people mocking Liu Ming; how could he beat them all?
What's more, there were many people Liu Guang simply couldn't afford to offend.
This kind of humiliation made Liu Guang want to kill. If it weren't for Master Hong Wu's strength being much greater than his own, he would have brought his brothers over to chop Hong Wu into meat paste long ago.
Therefore, when he saw Master Hong Wu at this time, he was naturally red-eyed at the sight of an enemy, and his eyes were almost spitting fire.
Master Hong Wu also didn't expect this guy to come. After all, Wu Donghai only told him that he wanted to set up a table here to entertain guests, but didn't say who exactly was invited.
However, Master Hong Wu was not afraid of Liu Guang. Seeing Liu Guang's murderous look, he also looked at Liu Guang coldly, and then deliberately reached out to touch his forehead.
Touching his forehead like this made Liu Guang tremble with anger.
However, trembling was one thing, but he really didn't dare to clamor with Master Hong Wu at this time.
After all, Master Hong Wu's strength was much stronger than his own, and Wu Donghai also said that he was not qualified to be his dog and was still in the probationary period.
Thinking of this, Liu Guang felt incredibly uncomfortable.
What kind of world is this? Being a dog for someone else actually has a probationary period!
However, a probationary period is a probationary period. As long as he could become a regular, he would have the strength to fight Master Hong Wu!
As the saying goes, if you don't endure small things, you will mess up big plans.
This is called enduring humiliation to carry a heavy burden.
As the boss of Tianxiang Mansion and one of the guests invited this time, Master Hong Wu naturally took the initiative to step forward and invite Wu Donghai to sit in the main seat of today's dining table, while Wu Xin sat on his right hand side.
Now, the seat on Wu Donghai's left was still empty, and many people were staring at this position, wanting to go over and sit closer to Wu Donghai.
But because Liu Guang had been following Wu Donghai, he was the fastest. As soon as Wu Donghai sat down in the main seat, he had already rushed to the front and sat down in the seat on Wu Donghai's left hand side.
Several people continued to flatter Wu Donghai, while Wu Donghai didn't say much and sat there with a majestic face.
After everyone had taken the initiative to greet him, Wu Donghai spoke: "I invited everyone here today mainly to get to know you. I am new to Jin Ling, and in the future, there will inevitably be some things in Jin Ling that will require your help."
Liu Guang was the first to stand up and laugh: "That is natural. Mr. Wu, it is our Liu family's blessing that you can look up to us. Our Liu family will follow your lead in everything."
He knew that Wu Donghai needed someone to take the lead in expressing his stance, so he took the lead and spoke first.
Wu Donghai glanced at him, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Liu Guang, work hard in the future, and I won't treat you badly."
Liu Guang was indeed somewhat clever and knew what he wanted to hear at the moment.
"Thank you, Mr. Wu. I will definitely do my best to serve you well."
The Zhao and Kong families also hurriedly expressed their stance, both of them in a kneeling posture, clearly wanting to get on the Wu family's big boat.
Only Wang Zhenggang, Qin Gang, and Master Hong Wu looked at each other and said nothing.
They knew that Wu Donghai wanted them to express their stance.
If they expressed their stance here today to help the Wu family, it would be equivalent to formally announcing their complete surrender to the Wu family.
However, these three only wanted to follow Ye Chen wholeheartedly, so they naturally couldn't express their stance on Wu Donghai's words.
After all, in the eyes of these few people, Ye Chen was the standard true dragon on earth. Compared with him, no matter how strong the Wu family was, they were mortals. Since they were mortals, what qualifications did they have to be mentioned in the same breath as Ye Chen?
Wu Donghai scanned the three of them and asked: "The three of you seem to be somewhat unwilling to work for the Wu family?"
