66: Chapter 66 Qin Qitian's Favorite Young Woman

As the elevator doors chimed open:

"Welcome to Linjiang Banquet · Cloud."

The receptionist hurried forward and asked:

"Excuse me, sir, madam, what is your surname? Do you have a reservation?"

Su Ye said directly:

"Surname Su, for Wenjin Pavilion."

After checking the reservation information, the receptionist said:

"Mr. Su, ladies, please follow me."

Just as Su Ye and the others were walking towards Wenjin Pavilion, a few figures walked out of another elevator. Li Yi looked at a back disappearing around the corner, feeling suspicious; why did that person look so much like Su Ye?

At this moment, a young man dressed in hip-hop style grabbed Li Yi's shoulder and said:

"Brother Li, what are you looking at?"

Li Yi shot a look of disgust at the arm hanging on his shoulder, gave a shrug to shake it off, and said:

"Speak your mind, but don't go around grabbing people all day. We aren't that close."

After speaking, he walked towards a private room in the distance.

After the few men and women next to the hip-hop youth looked at each other, a sharp-featured youth said indignantly:

"What is he acting so stuck-up for? Young Master Qin, today is a gathering hosted by your brother. How can this Li Yi be so disrespectful to you? By the way, what kind of background does this sissy have? Why would Young Master Qin actually invite him to dinner?"

Qin Hua's expression also looked a bit unpleasant, but in an instant, he shook his head and said:

"Forget it, I won't bicker with that damn sissy. His family is nothing. The main reason my brother is hosting today is because his brother-in-law is about to enter the Municipal Public Security Bureau as a deputy director, so my brother wants to get to know him."

A young man with a square face nearby couldn't help but exclaim softly:

"A deputy director at the Municipal Public Security Bureau? That should be a deputy department-level rank, right?"

Qin Hua nodded:

"Yes, deputy department-level. Otherwise, would I tolerate him? I would have beaten him so badly that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him."

The others fell silent. After all, they didn't have a brother-in-law with a deputy department-level rank like Qin Hua. They couldn't afford to provoke him. With just two phone calls, they would be beaten by their own parents until even their grandfathers wouldn't recognize them, and they would still have to honestly go and apologize.

"Whew—"

Qin Hua let out a deep breath and pulled the hot-bodied, scantily-clad woman beside him closer:

"Let's go, let's go to the private room too. It's just for today; after this, I won't be having any dealings with him."

Li Yi glanced at the wooden sign that read Wenzong Pavilion and curled his lips in disdain. It really was like donkey dung—shiny on the outside. Picking a place like this to pretend to be cultured.

Li Yi knew about the Qin Family. Their family used to be involved in the gray areas and lacked culture. They mainly operated KTVs, hotels, and nightclubs. Over the past twenty years, relying on the rapid development of Chengdu, they had earned quite a lot of money.

However, ever since the crackdown started in a certain year, there were more rules. Fortunately, they used to be semi-black and semi-white, which was relatively easier to clean up. So, after cutting off some meat over the years, they successfully washed their hands of it. Their establishments are much cleaner now.

But everyone knows that these places are somewhat unclean. For example, in places like nightclubs, can you really not sell fake alcohol? And can it be completely clean inside without any illicit things?

In KTVs, can business KTVs be without hostesses? Who would go to a proper business KTV? In hotels, are there no extra services? Do they really think they only earn that little bit of accommodation money?

Of course, it's not as blatant as before. If one doesn't nitpick, everything is fine for everyone. But if one were to take it seriously, the light punishment would be fines and suspension for rectification, and if it were serious, it might even mean someone going inside.

If it weren't for a pretty good friend of his acting as a middleman, Li Yi wouldn't have come to this Hongmen Banquet no matter what.

But Li Yi had made up his mind: once inside, he would just eat. He wouldn't say anything else, and he definitely wouldn't promise anything.

Having thought it through, Li Yi pushed open the door and entered. At this moment, he saw that the main seat at the eight-person table was empty. On the left sat a young man wearing a custom gray suit and gold-rimmed glasses. Anyone who saw him would think he was a promising youth, but Li Yi inwardly spat, calling him a refined beast.

Who in their circle doesn't know Qin Qitian? The eldest young master of the Qin Family, with billions in assets, he loves playing the role of Cao Cao the most, especially enjoying "before the husband" scenarios, or having women call their husbands while they are doing the deed.

On the right side sat a young man with an honest face. His expression was a bit ugly, but after seeing Li Yi, he still managed to pull up a smile at the corner of his mouth and stood up to greet him:

"Brother Yi."

Qin Qitian also stood up at this time, hurried towards Li Yi, and enthusiastically extended his right hand, calling out:

"Brother Yi, hello. I've long heard your name, but we've never had the chance to meet—"

Li Yi didn't even pay attention to Qin Qitian, brushing right past him and saying to the honest-looking youth:

"Little Hu, I've come to your invitation today. In the future, don't go wagging your tongue about me in front of others, or I'll pull your tongue out."

Hearing Li Yi's words, the honest-looking youth's expression finally looked a bit better. Just as he wanted to say something, Li Yi patted him on the shoulder.

No more words were needed.

Li Yi didn't have many friends, but they were basically people he recognized. He knew the situation in Hu Zhilong's family. As one of the top liquor suppliers in all of Chengdu, facing the Qin Family, who had numerous business KTVs and nightclubs in Chengdu, he definitely couldn't refuse.

Otherwise, as long as Qin Qitian made a call, large quantities of liquor in Hu Zhilong's family's inventory would be stuck in their hands.

It was just a meal, Li Yi didn't care, and he wouldn't hold any grudge against Hu Zhilong because of it. If Li Yi truly didn't care about Hu Zhilong, he wouldn't have come to the appointment.

Qin Qitian looked at his extended arm, his expression turning gloomy for an instant, but in a flash, he put a warm smile back on his face and turned to walk towards his seat.

At the same time, Qin Hua and his few friends entered the private room. Qin Qitian frowned slightly; why was it just Qin Hua when he went down to pick people up earlier, but so many people now that they were up here?

Qin Hua smiled and introduced them to Qin Qitian:

"Brother, these are some of my friends. Their families are all in the liquor business. When they heard I was hosting a gathering with you here today, they insisted on coming to meet you."

After speaking, he said to the people behind him:

"What are you still standing there for? Call him Brother Tian."

The few stood straight, bowed in unison, and shouted loudly:

"Brother Tian."

Those who didn't know would think that even in the new century, there were still underworld forces.

Qin Hua felt very uneasy at this moment. After all, his presence in the family was far less than Qin Qitian, who was recognized as the heir. If it weren't for the fact that the girl from the Donghua Liquor Store owner's daughter was truly satisfying last night, he wouldn't have bitten the bullet and brought people here.

Qin Qitian felt a slight anger in his heart upon hearing Qin Hua's words, but then, remembering something, he glanced at Hu Zhilong next to him, whose face had turned dark enough to wring water out of. His expression suddenly changed, and he smiled:

"Hahaha, since you are all Little Hua's friends, you are also my friends. If you don't mind, sit down and have a casual meal."

"Little Hua, go and tell the waiter to serve the dishes and drinks."
