Chapter 797 A Banquet with Different Agendas
Such a woman is probably very simple.
The profiles of these big guys clearly stated that she was not very smart and had no scheming intentions. Compared to Li Lei's right-hand assistant Su Tang, the woman in front of him was as innocent as a blank sheet of paper and devoid of any threat.
However, it wasn't until they met her in person that they realized how wrong they were.
Maybe she was naive and unscheming, but when she and Li Lei walked side by side, they were so matched, like two dazzling stars reflecting each other, a match made in heaven.
Her influence on Li Lei is definitely beyond anyone's reach.
This is the greatest threat to other people.
And what about Su Tang? So what if you have a scheming heart? Standing beside Li Lei, she will always look like a subordinate.
The accompanying Li Xiaoyao opened the seats for the two of them, and Xia Ling took the seats slowly. Li Xiaoyao, on the other hand, led a few subordinates of the Li family and stood behind them a few steps away.
Li Lei sat on the main seat, looked around, and introduced to the big bosses: "Everyone here is a good friend of the Li family who has worked together for many years. I invite you here today for two main things. The first one is to tell you The head of our Li family has changed, and it will be me from now on. Please take good care of me. The second thing is to let everyone get to know my Xiao Ling, who will be the future mistress of our Li family."
The whole place fell silent, and then a big boss laughed: "Young Master Li is so polite. Who doesn't know that you are young and promising? I have been doing business with the Li family for many years. We are all old acquaintances. From now on Continue to cooperate. It’s Miss Ye, it’s the first time I’ve met, so it’s a pleasure to meet you.”
People like them rarely introduce their women to their peers in a serious manner.
Anyone who is solemnly introduced must have a high status and is not comparable to playthings.
Many people looked at Xia Ling calmly. They knew that she, who gave birth to a son for Li Lei, might be qualified to influence the structure of the Li family in the next few decades.
Xia Ling smiled faintly in the eyes of all kinds, but did not speak.
She understood that as long as she played the role of a vase, Li Lei would naturally handle more things. Because she has something to rely on, she is very relaxed, and her face as white as jade naturally reveals a lazy and leisurely temperament. She is so beautiful, and her posture is not artificial at all. She has both natural arrogance and pure sweetness, as if she has never been contaminated by worldly dust.
Comparing all the ladies present.
Many people admired in their hearts, no wonder Young Master Li fell in love with this woman - they have seen a lot of simple people, and they have seen a lot of noble people, but to perfectly blend these two temperaments, she is really The first of its kind.
Such a woman should only exist in heaven.
However, not all bigwigs are only concerned about admiration.
Someone thought carefully——Li Lei had just inherited the family business, and at such a young age, could he really be in charge of such a big deal? In the past, during the heyday of the Li family, they did not dare to provoke them, but now that the Li family is in civil strife, when it is at its weakest, there are always some people who are ready to move.
A big boss named Wang Long spoke: "Second Young Master, you have just taken over the affairs of the Li family, and you must be very busy with everything. Recently, the delivery speed in South America has been really slow. Brothers are waiting No, if this continues, we will have to drink from the northwest wind! I think otherwise, you can open up a few delivery routes in South America and let the brothers transport it by themselves. This will save everyone trouble, what do you think?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the whole room changed. All delivery routes in South America were controlled by the Li family. Only the Li family transported various items, and other families had no involvement at all. Now, Wang Long wants to make an opening on the road monopolized by the Li family, which is tantamount to snatching food from a tiger's mouth!
There was an impulsive boss who put down his tea cup on the spot and planned to scold Wang Long, but another boss next to him calmly pressed him under the table and shook his head.
It is true that many of them respect the Li family on the surface, but as the saying goes, there are no permanent friends, only eternal interests, let alone a place like Tao. Countless pairs of eyes are staring at the big business of the Li family, ready to take a piece of meat from this giant crocodile at any time.
Now, the opportunity has come. Li Lei has just inherited the position of Patriarch and his power is unstable. This is the time when they are most likely to succeed in seizing food. The first thing they have to do is to test.
And Wang Long took the lead for everyone.
Why couldn't Li Lei see their thoughts? Hearing the words, he just said lightly: "Slow down, just wait." A short sentence is more powerful than a thousand words, without even giving an explanation.
Wang Long's face froze: "Second young master, you are so unreasonable. Brothers have to eat. Do you want them to drink northwest wind?"
Li Lei: "What I say makes sense."
"You!" Just as Wang Long's hand hit the table, suddenly, several subordinates behind Li Lei pointed guns at his head. The subordinates behind Wang Long also reacted immediately, pointing their guns at the heads of Li Lei and Xia Ling. For a moment, the atmosphere on the field was tense.
Li Lei still just looked at Wang Long indifferently, not even changing the slightest expression on his face.
Other big guys, look at me and I'll look at you. Someone saw that the situation was not going well and came out to smooth things over: "Second Young Master Li, Brother Wang, please calm down. Second Young Master, Brother Wang are also kind-hearted, thinking that you will be too busy to help share the burden. Don't be angry, don't be angry."
Li Lei was expressionless.
The test didn't go well. They didn't expect Li Lei to be so tough and would draw his gun whenever they disagreed. It's true that they want the Li family's business, but they don't want to offend the Li family severely. God knows what the internal situation of the Li family is today. If they are really seriously injured due to civil strife, it's fine. Standing at the top of the food chain of all underworld organizations? Offending the Li family is tantamount to courting death.
Another big boss also came out to smooth things over: "Brother Wang, don't be ignorant, quickly apologize to Second Young Master Li."
Wang Long was pointed at a gun, and his heart was pounding. He understood that if he really killed Li Lei here, then he himself would not be able to walk out of this door alive, and even the entire family would face the fate of destruction. And what if Li Lei wasn't killed? He couldn't even ask for it.
He originally just wanted to test it out a little, but Li Lei's strong and swift reaction frightened him.
Maybe he thought wrong. When he was a young master, Second Young Master Li, who was always smiling lazily, could become so iron-blooded after taking power, no worse than Mr. Li back then.
Seeing someone giving him the steps, Wang Long hurriedly walked down the steps: "Second Young Master, don't be angry, just pretend I didn't say anything."
