Ji Wenyuan also shook his head.
He knew that Xu Wendong was on good terms with the Gou Family and the Mi Family.
So, he wasn’t very surprised that the Gou and Mi families went to Xu Wendong, but the Gong Family had no connection with Xu Wendong.
The key was, they also had so business dealings with the Gong Family.
"Let them be. Even if those three old fellows didn’t co, it’s no big deal," Elder Master Ji huffed indignantly.
With the influence of the Ji Family, they really didn’t care about such matters.
However.
In his heart, he was still dissatisfied because the current situation had beco a stalemate, a difficult-to-determine tie.
He had originally thought to use this opportunity to suppress Xu Wendong and vent his frustrations for his grandson but didn’t expect the situation to be as it was now.
------
"Eh, you, old thing, actually ca?" In Villa 95, Elder Master Gou looked at Gong Qingyang in surprise, clearly not expecting him to co.
Elder Gong smiled, "Mister Xu invited the Gong Family here as guests, am I not welco?"
Saying this, he turned to Xu Wendong and politely greeted him, "I’ve always wanted to et Mister Xu but never had the chance. Today, I finally have the opportunity to see you in person. This is a token of my regards, please accept it with a smile!" He said as he handed the Jade Ruyi he prepared to Xu Wendong.
"You are too kind, please have a seat!" Xu Wendong invited Elder Gong to sit down. He didn’t expect the other party to co either, but in this matter, he could also see the Gong Family’s long-term vision.
They understood that a coalition of three forces was more overwhelming than two families against two families.
Of course.
It was also possible that the Gong Family had caught wind of sothing.
But.
None of that mattered.
The important thing was that today they only needed to overwhelm the Ji Family’s montum!
As everyone chatted casually, outside, a black Volkswagen SUV appeared, and soon after, Deng Wencheng and Li Zhenfeng stepped out.
Each held two bottles of Maotai.
"Don’t co in yet, don’t co in yet!"
Xu Wendong hurried out, blocking the two at the door.
"What do you an, kid? You called us here to drink, but you won’t let us in. Isn’t this too much bullying?" Li Zhenfeng almost lost his temper.
"Ahem!" Xu Wendong cleared his throat and said, "See that villa in the southwest direction? Go over there and take a look, and ask if I live there!"
Li Zhenfeng’s mouth twitched uncontrollably, "Do you find this amusing?"
As the top official in Qingyuan County, in the past couple of days, he also beca aware of Xu Wendong and the Ji Family hosting guests simultaneously. If they went over there now, it would certainly impact the Ji Family’s authority.
"Why did I invite you and my brother here? Isn’t it to decide a winner between us and them?" Xu Wendong showed a mischievous smile.
"I knew today’s al wouldn’t be so appetizing!" Li Zhenfeng huffed in annoyance and then irritably got back into the car, "Little Deng, drive!"
Deng Wencheng directly gave Xu Wendong a disdainful middle finger and then drove towards the Ji Family villa.
Regarding Xu Wendong’s tactics.
He had to admire them.
This guy had no equal when it ca to ssing with others.
Elder Master Gou, Elder Master Mi, and Elder Gong also viewed Xu Wendong’s tactics with newfound respect; this guy was truly malicious, killing not only the body but the heart as well.
Of course, Li Zhenfeng and Deng Wencheng’s presence also greatly surprised Elder Gong. Who would expect Xu Wendong to invite these two high-ranking officials?
Elder Master Gou looked in the direction of the Ji Family and said with a chuckle, "From what I know of that one from the Ji Family, he would be ecstatic to see these two bringing gifts."
"That old thing has always wanted to cozy up to the powerful. Let alone Secretary Li and Director Deng visiting in person, he’ll definitely think they’re here to wish him a happy birthday."
Elder Gong sighed lightly, "He better not have such thoughts. Great joy and sorrow are not things ordinary people can handle, especially since that old thing is already eighty!"
------
As the only son of Elder Master Ji and the head of the Ji Family consortium, Ji Wenyuan was supposed to be at the door to greet friends and family arriving to celebrate his father’s eightieth birthday.
It’s a matter of propriety.
It shaped how others viewed the Ji Family.
When he saw a twenty-grand Volkswagen SUV parked at the entrance, his brows furrowed.
Did the Ji Family have such poor relatives?
Before he could gather his thoughts, the SUV door opened and Deng Wencheng and Li Zhenfeng each ca out with two bottles of Maotai.
The mont he saw the two, Ji Wenyuan imdiately got goosebumps all over his body.
Good heavens!
Why had these two co?
Were they here to celebrate his father’s eightieth birthday?
Without ti to think further, he hastily said to his son, "Quick, go bring your grandfather out and tell him Secretary Li and Director Deng are here to congratulate him on his birthday!"
Ji Yunfei ran enthusiastically into the villa to deliver the news to the elder.
"Secretary Li and Director Deng are here?" On learning this, Elder Master Ji felt his brain buzzing. Though he had heard their nas countless tis,
they never had the chance to et.
Who would have thought?
They would co to the Ji Family to wish him a happy birthday?
Liu Can, standing nearby, said, "Grandfather, the Ji Family is a major taxpayer in Qingyuan. Although you have never had any dealings with them, now that it’s your eightieth birthday, it’s only logical for them to co and offer their congratulations!"
Ji Yunfei nodded enthusiastically, "Grandpa, Cousin is right. The Ji Family has always been a major taxpayer in Qingyuan. Now, with your eightieth birthday, it’s reasonable for Secretary Li and Director Deng to co to offer their congratulations."
"Hurry, hurry, help out!" Elder Master Ji said excitedly, knowing what the arrival of these two ant.
It ant he had completely overshadowed Xu Wendong in terms of montum.
Ji Yunfei excitedly said, "Grandpa, should we send soone to Villa 95 to tell the Gou, Mi, and Gong families that Secretary Li and Director Deng are here visiting us?"
"I have a feeling that if we tell them about this, they’ll definitely co straight to our family!"
Hearing this.
Liu Can couldn’t remain calm and loudly said to the guests outside, "Ladies and gentlen, Secretary Li Zhenfeng and Director Deng from the Public Security Bureau are here to celebrate my grandfather’s birthday, let’s all go out to welco them!"
At these words, the guests were shocked, not expecting Elder Master Ji to have such prestige that two major figures from the Qingyuan officialdom would visit to offer their congratulations.
In an instant, all the guests got up one after another, following Elder Master Ji to the villa entrance.
However.
When they reached the entrance, they did not see Li Zhenfeng and Deng Wencheng, only Ji Wenyuan standing there quietly.
Elder Master Ji hurriedly went up, "Wenyuan, where are Secretary Li and Director Deng?"
Ji Wenyuan’s face was ashen, "They left, heading to Xu Wendong’s place."
Elder Master Ji was taken aback, "Weren’t they here to celebrate my birthday? Why did they go to Xu Wendong’s place?"
