Chapter 251 The Indifferent Miss Lei

251

"Thanks to everyone, you even came here to pick me up." Lei Zhenhu said to the dozen or so people behind Xia Jiang with a kind smile.

"It's all as it should be." Xia Jiang smiled and said, "Old man, you are from Jiangyuan City. When you come back to Jiangyuan City this time, those of us who make a living on the borders of Jiangyuan City will definitely have to come to pick you up."

"I'm interested." Lei Zhenhu said with a smile, "Xiaoxia, you can get in my car. We haven't seen each other for many years. Let's chat and share our feelings."

"Okay." Xia Jiang nodded and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. You haven't returned to Jiangyuan City for all these years. I miss you a lot."

"Jiaying, just take Xiaoxia's car." Lei Zhenhu said to the middle-aged woman.

"I understand, Grandpa." The middle-aged woman nodded.

"Taiping, please accompany Miss Lei." Xia Jiang said to Xu Taiping.

"Okay." Xu Taiping nodded. This middle-aged woman is obviously Lei Zhenhu's granddaughter. Lei Zhenhu is eighty years old, and his granddaughter is thirty or forty years old, which is considered normal.

Xia Jiang and Lei Zhenhu got into the Rolls Royce together, while Xu Taiping got into Xia Jiang's car. As for Xia Jinxuan, she naturally had to drive Xu Taiping's S600 by herself.

The convoy of more than a dozen cars when we arrived suddenly turned into more than 20 cars when we returned. The scene was very spectacular. Fortunately, it was not the peak period for commuting. There were not many cars on the road, so it would not cause any trouble. Traffic jam.

Xu Taiping was sitting in the back row of the Maybach, and Lei Jiaying was sitting next to him, holding a tablet in her hand. There was no expression on her face, and she had no intention of talking to Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping tried to say a few words to Lei Jiaying at first, but Lei Jiaying didn't pay much attention to him, so he didn't ask for trouble.

"Among the people at the helm next to Xia Jiang, you should be considered the youngest, right?" Lei Jiaying said suddenly.

Xu Taiping was stunned for a moment, nodded, and said, "Yes."

"I have investigated you. From the time you debuted to now, three of Xia Jiang's bosses have died in a few months. You are really not simple." Lei Jiaying said to Xu Taiping with a meaningful smile. said.

"I can only say that their fate is bad." Xu Taiping said with a smile.

"This is my room card." Lei Jiaying took out a Hilton Hotel room card from her bag, handed it to Xu Taiping, and said, "Come to me after the dinner tonight."

After speaking, Lei Jiaying glanced at Xu Taiping with a sneer and licked her lips.

Xu Taiping shivered all over. This Lei Jiaying was very good-looking, but she was a bit older, and there was still a gap between her and Xia Jinxuan. For Xu Taiping, who was used to eating delicacies from the mountains, she was really It feels like I can't keep my mouth shut.

However, Xu Taiping still accepted the room card. After all, this was Mr. Lei's granddaughter. It would still be a bit rude to refuse rashly.

Lei Jiaying said nothing more after handing the room card to Xu Taiping. The motorcade passed through most of the city and arrived at the Hilton Hotel in the central city.

The Hilton Hotel had already been notified in advance that a large area of ​​the underground parking lot had been vacated, and the hotel owner was also waiting in the parking lot.

After the car stopped, Xia Jiang got out of the car first, then ran to the other door, opened the car door, and helped Lei Zhenhu out of the car.

Xia Jiang and Lei Zhenhu both looked good, and it seemed they had a good conversation in the car.

"Mr. Lei, Secretary Yu is already waiting for you upstairs." Lei Zhenhu's driver and secretary walked to Lei Zhenhu's side and whispered.

"Well, tell him I'll be there in a moment." Lei Zhenhu said calmly.

"Secretary Yu..." Xia Jiang narrowed his eyes slightly. There is only one secretary named Yu in Jiangyuan City. He is the top leader in the entire Jiangyuan City. He is also a friend of Xia Jiang, but the relationship is not deep. Xia Jiang did not expect this Secretary Yu actually came to the Hilton Hotel in person to wait for Lei Zhenhu. However, it is not difficult to see from this that although the old man is retiring, his status in China is still very noble.

"Xiao Xia, I'm going to talk to Secretary Yu about something later. You can postpone the dinner." Lei Zhenhu said to Xia Jiang.

"Don't worry, let's eat again after you agree." Xia Jiang said with a smile.

"Every time I go to the cities below, the most annoying thing is these people." Lei Zhenhu said dissatisfied, "They just want investment and political achievements, but they like to put on airs."

"Yes, yes." Xia Jiang smiled and nodded, "You have a huge amount of resources. As long as you nod your head, won't you achieve a lot of achievements?"

"It's all a routine." Lei Zhenhu shook his head and said, "As soon as this person reaches his age, he can see things more clearly. I won't say more. I will let you know later, so you can go and wait."

"Okay." Xia Jiang said, "I'll take you up."

"Um."

Xia Jiang sent Lei Zhenhu upstairs. Xu Taiping and others were not qualified to follow him, so they could only wait in the restaurant downstairs.

"What were you and Lei Jiaying talking about in the car?" Xia Jinxuan asked curiously, sitting next to Xu Taiping.

"Nothing to talk about." Xu Taiping shook his head. Although he would tell Xia Jinxuan many things, he felt it was best not to say anything about Lei Jiaying giving him the room card.

"She doesn't seem to be easy to get along with." Xia Jinxuan frowned and said, "Since I saw her just now, I haven't seen her smile at all. She has a straight face, as if everyone owes her money."

"Maybe it's because she is the granddaughter of the flag bearer. After all, there are only a few flag bearers in the whole of China. Their status is very valuable." Xu Taiping said with a smile.

"If one day my father becomes a flag bearer, can I be like her?" Xia Jinxuan asked excitedly.

"You don't need your father to become a flag bearer. You will be like this when you reach menopause."

"Haha, you are so bad, you said that person is menopausal!!"

Xu Taiping and others were waiting for Mr. Lei in the private room of the hotel, and Xia Jiang was also waiting here. More than an hour passed during this wait. It was after seven o'clock when they arrived at the hotel, and it was already after eight o'clock. Mr. Lei has not appeared yet.

"How long will this have to wait?" Xu Taiping yawned and said, "I'm getting hungry after waiting."

"The old man has more things to do than we thought." Xia Jiang said calmly, "I just arrived in Jiangyuan City today. There must be many people visiting. Just wait."

The people around him didn't say anything. To be honest, although Mr. Lei has a noble status, the people here are not the kind to be easily intimidated by the so-called status. Each of them is the overlord of one party, and they always have others waiting for them. There is no time for them to wait for others, so everyone is still somewhat dissatisfied at the moment.

At about nine o'clock, the door of the private room was pushed open from the outside, and Mr. Lei walked in from the door under the leadership of Lei Jiaying and his secretary Mr. Zhou.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long. I didn't expect Secretary Yu to be the child of one of my best friends, so I just chatted for a while." Lei Zhenhu said apologetically to everyone while walking.

Everyone stood up from their positions. Xia Jiang quickly walked to Mr. Lei's side, supported Mr. Lei, and said, "We are lucky to be waiting for you here. Others want to wait, but they don't have this opportunity."

"Xiao Xia, you are really good at talking. Everyone must be hungry. Sit down quickly and eat quickly." Lei Zhenhu said with a smile.

Everyone was seated according to their seniority, and Xu Taiping sat near the door. He was considered to have a lower status among the people present, ranking in front of Zhou Xiaoyu and Zeng Xuan.

After everyone was seated, Mr. Lei said with a smile, "I have actually wanted to come back to Jiangyuan City for a long time to see you young people. I know that Xiaoxia has not only been successful in Jiangyuan City these years, Since then, in the entire underground world of China, it has become more and more popular. This Jiangyuan City is my hometown, and it is also the place that I miss the most. Now I see that this Jiangyuan City is under your control. I am very pleased to have the momentum to lead the underground forces in the entire South. As I get older, I won’t drink anymore, so I’ll replace the wine with water tonight and have a drink with you. It’s up to you.”

Mr. Lei said it was casual, but no one dared to do so. Everyone present picked up their wine glasses and drank the wine in one gulp.

"Xiao Zhou should have almost made arrangements for my birthday this time, right?" Lei Zhenhu asked Mr. Zhou, the secretary standing next to him.

"Yes, the whole of China has been notified." Mr. Zhou nodded.

"At that time, many old friends and new friends will come to Jiangyuan City to celebrate my birthday, which may have some impact on Jiangyuan City. Secretary Lu just came to me and mainly talked about this matter. As we all know, We are in a mixed society, and our hostility will inevitably be high, so in order not to cause some bad effects this time, I said that those who come to celebrate my birthday cannot bring more than three subordinates at most. Everyone is happy to accept me like this. A request, Xiaoxia, this is a huge test for you. I don’t want things like visiting friends to be attacked by then. I hope you can use your influence in Jiangyuan City, and With all your strength, these friends who come to wish me a birthday can come and leave safely, do you understand what I mean?" Lei Zhenhu asked.

"I understand that by then all my brothers from the White Eagle Gang will be scattered throughout the city, and all visiting guests will have special protection. In fact, we have already prepared a week in advance, and have deployed control at the station, airport, and pier. And we have also cooperated with the police and have cooperated with them in carrying out many special clean-up operations recently. Anyone who is an eyesore will be removed or focused on to ensure that there will be no problems by then." Xia Jiang said seriously.

"Boss Xia is really amazing. You can even use the police. If you don't know, you might think you are a police informant." Lei Jiaying said with a smile.

"Haha, Miss Lei is joking. I, Xia, have made many friends in Jiangyuan City and know some of the leaders." Xia Jiang said with a smile.

"In that case, that would be the best. If you can handle this matter well, then I can guarantee that when I retire, I will recommend you to become the new flag bearer like those old guys." Lei Zhenhu said.

Xia Jiang's face trembled slightly, and then he said calmly, "It is a great honor for me to celebrate your birthday. I only hope that you can live a long life. As for other things, I have not thought about it."

"Well, very good, everyone use your chopsticks, don't be hungry." Lei Zhenhu said with a smile.
