Shanghai, Zhabei District, Jinling Hotel.
"Hey, Boss Qiao, please come in. Thank you for your presence."
"Boss Mi, you're here too. Thank you so much."
At the hotel entrance, guests in gorgeous clothes kept gathering from all directions.
Today is the full moon of the son of the fourth and seventh concubine of Gao Lao in Xiaotongqiao.
Gao Laosi held a full-month banquet at Jinling Hotel.
Xiaotongqiao has been the most popular organization in Shanghai in recent years, and its business on the black market has a good reputation.
Gao Laosi is in charge of transportation and is considered a well-known figure. When he wants to hold a banquet, many people will give him face.
As the sky gradually darkened, red lanterns at the hotel entrance lit up one after another.
It looks joyous and a magnificent scene.
"Fourth Brother, congratulations. This is just a small red envelope as a token of respect."
Seeing that many guests had arrived, several managers of Xiaotongqiao finally arrived at the hotel before the banquet began.
Gao Tianjiu smiled and handed a red envelope that had been sealed long ago to Gao Laosi who was greeting guests at the door.
"Master Jiu, you're welcome..." Gao Laosi clasped his fists.
Ah Fu, the Fang brothers, Ma Yongzhen and others behind them also handed over the red envelopes they had prepared in advance.
"Master Jiu, Master Ma Er, Ah Fu, Shi Jie, Shi Yu, I have specially reserved a private room for you upstairs."
Gao Laosi said with a big smile on his face, "Mao Laosan is waiting for you in the box. I will come up after I settle the guests."
Gao Tianjiu patted Gao Laosi's shoulder and said, "Laosi, today is your son's full moon. We are all brothers. You don't have to greet us."
"We can just take care of ourselves, right?"
The people around him kept nodding in agreement when they heard what he said. After exchanging a few words at the door, they slowly went up to the private room on the second floor under the guidance of the waiter.
In the box on the second floor, Mao Laosan was teasing his son with Gao Laosi's seventh concubine.
Seeing several people coming in, the seventh concubine stood up tactfully, bowed to everyone, and then carried the child out of the box.
Mao Laosan arranged for everyone to sit down and asked the waiter to pour wine for them.
They were all old acquaintances, so there was no politeness. After a round of drinking, everyone's face was red and they were a little drunk.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm sorry for not welcoming you well." Gao Laosi pushed open the door of the private room, clasped his fists towards everyone and said, "There are too many guests downstairs, so I came late."
Gao Tianjiu said with a smile: "Old Four, you are late, you should drink three glasses of wine as punishment."
Gao Laosi laughed, picked up the small wine glass on the table, poured a glass and said, "Sure, sure."
"Slurp." Gao Laosi drank the cup in one gulp, sat down and said, "Brothers, I have a friend who wants to meet you today."
"Originally I didn't want him to disturb everyone's fun, but I can't refuse such a kind invitation, so please give me some face."
Gao Tianjiu and the others looked at each other, with a hint of displeasure on their faces.
"Old Four, how could you do this?" Mao Old Three pretended to be angry and said, "All of you sitting here are brothers. It's not appropriate for you to let an outsider in to disrupt the situation."
Gao Laosi quickly said, "I'm sorry, everyone. My friend has always wanted to do business with Xiaotongqiao, but he is usually very busy and has never been able to find the time."
"Today is a perfect opportunity, and everyone happens to be here."
"Besides, he is at the door now, please give him some face."
Before Gao Tianjiu and the others could say anything, Mao Laosan spoke again: "Everyone is here, let's meet them."
"Okay, okay," Gao Laosi said quickly, "I'll go call him in."
After he finished speaking, without waiting for anyone to refuse, he quickly opened the door of the box and invited the person outside in.
When the newcomer walked into the box, Gao Tianjiu and the others immediately showed a hint of doubt in their eyes.
The man was wearing a well-fitting suit, had blue eyes, a high nose bridge, deep facial features, and golden hair. He was obviously a purebred white pig.
When did Gao Laosi become involved with foreigners?
"Hello everyone, let me introduce myself. My name is Sean and I'm from the UK." Although Sean's Chinese is not very standard, it is still understandable.
Ma Yongzhen looked at Xiao En and said to Gao Lao Si: "Lao Si, when did you get in touch with foreigners? This is incredible."
Gao Laosi looked embarrassed, but Xiao En beside him said nonchalantly: "Don't you Chinese people always say that all people in the world are brothers?"
"Although I am British, I have been in Shanghai for several years. It is not surprising that I am friends with Mr. Gao."
Gao Tianjiu stood up and said, "Mr. Sean, I wonder why you want to see us?"
"If you want to discuss business, I welcome you to Xiaotong Bridge. Today is the full moon banquet for the fourth child. It is not appropriate to discuss business at this time."
Sean shook his head and said, "There's nothing inappropriate. It's not easy to get you all together."
"To be honest, my target is not you. I want to see the one behind you."
Gao Tianjiu and the others' faces instantly became solemn. Ah Fu said calmly, "Mr. Sean is such a joker. There is no one behind us."
"You must be Mr. Fu." Sean seemed to be very clear about the identities of the people present.
"I heard that you were a clerk at Cangbaoxuan before. No wonder you speak so ignorantly."
"I came to see you to find out your details."
"Fuck, you foreign devil, what did you say?" Ah Fu was furious. He stood up and said sinisterly, "This is Shanghai. How dare you talk to us like that?"
"Do you believe that I can't let you walk out of this door?"
Sean laughed and said, "So you are just a fellow, ignorant. Do you really think I haven't prepared anything?"
Clap, Clap. Sean clapped his hands lightly, the door of the box opened, and several young foreigners in black clothes walked in with some things.
"You should be familiar with these things, right?" Sean said lightly, pointing at the things on the table.
"What did you do to my son?" Gao Tianjiu saw at a glance that the gray short jacket on the table was his son's clothes.
Not only that, Fang Shijie, Fang Shiyu and Ma Yongzhen's faces also turned very ugly in an instant.
What Ma Yongzhen saw was a phoenix jade pendant, which was a personal ornament of his lover, Miss Yu.
What Fang Shijie and Fang Shiyu saw was a pair of exquisite bells, which were the ornaments worn around the waist by Fang Shijie's daughter.
"Gao Laosi, what do you mean?" Gao Tianjiu fixed his eyes on Gao Laosi and said with strong resentment, "The rules of the martial arts world are that the wife and children should not be harmed, don't you understand?"
Gao Laosi was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "We left the French Concession ten years ago and followed the Fourth Master to settle in Xiaotong Bridge."
"We agreed at the time that six large ships would dock and everyone would share the good times and the bad times."
"But why are there four large ships and two small ones?"
"They say wealth and honor are achieved through risk. I just don't understand. We fought together to conquer the world. Why should you be rich and powerful while we can only eat what you leave behind?"
