The Haotai Hotel was very close to the Lan family's residence, and Lan Ling arrived at the scene in less than half an hour.
At this moment, the entire hotel lobby had been decorated to resemble a conference venue, with the large screen in the center flashing continuously.
There were men and women dancing on the stage; these were second- or third-tier internet celebrities invited by Jiang Xinxin to liven up the atmosphere.
Below the stage, men and women dressed in fine clothes gathered in small groups, chatting and laughing.
There weren't too many people at the venue yet, as the event wouldn't start for another half hour.
However, a few individuals stood out, surrounded by a large crowd who were flattering and fawning over them.
These are all members of the four major families. They are the hosts of today's mobilization meeting, and given their current status, they are naturally the objects of flattery from many other families.
Among them, a man who was about 1.8 meters tall and wore gold-rimmed glasses stood out.
This man is Sun Hao, the young master of the Sun family and Sun Li's eldest nephew!
Although both Sun Hao and Sun Dong are Sun Li's nephews, Sun Dong is from a collateral branch, while Sun Hao is a true biological nephew!
However, the aunt and nephew were not very harmonious. Because Sun Hao's father passed away early, Sun Li took over the position of head of the family. After graduating from university, Sun Hao always wanted to take over the position of head of the family, but his aunt Sun Li always made excuses to refuse. Moreover, in the family, Sun Li, as the aunt, had far more supporters than he, the nephew.
This made him very frustrated. He was the eldest grandson of the eldest son, yet he was being suppressed by a woman and couldn't even enjoy the family's resources at will. He felt extremely stifled!
Therefore, on such occasions, Sun Hao would always be very high-profile, just to show off his status as the eldest son of the Sun family and increase his prestige!
"Young Master Sun, hello. I am Lan Qi from the Lan family. This is my business card. Our Lan family has decided to join the United Chamber of Commerce. We hope you will take good care of us in the future!"
Lan Qi seized the opportunity and immediately handed over his business card.
"The Lan family?" Sun Hao frowned and took the business card.
He immediately revealed a playful expression, "If I remember correctly, your Lan family has always followed the Huang family, right? And they were staunch supporters. What, now that the Huang family has fallen, you're coming to cling to the coattails of the four great families? Aren't you afraid of being gossiped about and called the Lan family traitors?"
Lan Qi's smile froze. "Young Master Sun, what are you saying? Our Lan family did receive some favors from the Huang family before! But our Lan family is not the Huang family's slave; we are merely partners! Moreover, I believe that with our Lan family's strength, we will definitely bring great benefits to the United Chamber of Commerce!"
"benefit?"
Sun Hao curled his lip in disdain, crumpled the business card in his hand into a ball, and threw it on the ground. "Sorry, we four great families don't accept just any trash! Your Lan family is nothing but dog poop in front of us!"
Lan Qi's smile froze instantly.
He never expected that Sun Hao would be so arrogant!
The Lan family is a top-tier family within the pass, yet the other party doesn't give them any face at all!
Now, Lan Qi was in a difficult position, standing there with his face burning and feeling extremely embarrassed.
The others, however, all wore expressions of schadenfreude.
This Lan Qi is really overestimating himself; he doesn't even understand his own family's situation.
As a vassal family of the Huang family, it's already a favor that the four major families haven't bothered you. You still want to join the Chamber of Commerce? Dream on!
Lan Qi forced a smile and quickly said, "Young Master Sun, I came here with sincerity today. Before I left, my father gave me 20 million as a membership fee for joining the Chamber of Commerce!"
As he spoke, he pulled out the check!
Everyone was slightly taken aback!
Twenty million is no small sum! The Lan family is really going all out!
However, Lan Qi didn't even glance at it, since twenty million was nothing to him.
However, seeing how sincere Lan Qi was, he began to change his mind.
"Tsk tsk! Quite sensible! However, our four major families are quite cautious about the Huang family lineage. The family heads have made it clear that they will not accept any families related to the Huang family!"
He paused, then added, "However, seeing how sincere you are, I don't mind pleading for you! But you have to show sincerity!"
Lan Qi's face lit up with joy, and he quickly said, "Whatever Young Master Sun wants me to do, as long as it's within my power, I will do my best!"
"Don't worry! I, Sun Hao, also appreciate talent!" Sun Hao patted his shoulder and said in a low voice, "I like obedient dogs the most! My shoes are dirty, why don't you lick them clean for me? If you lick them clean, I'll agree to let your Lan family join the Chamber of Commerce!"
Lan Qi's body trembled, and his face instantly turned red.
Licking the back of a shoe? Isn't that an insult?
"What? You don't want to?" Sun Hao frowned, his face cold. "What use is a dog like you if you can't even do this little thing right?"
After he finished speaking, a cold smirk appeared on his lips.
In fact, he never intended to take in the Lan family; he just wanted to deliberately tease Lan Qi.
However, Lan Qi was torn between his inner thoughts and his own!
Before I left, my father's words still echoed in my ears!
"Qi'er, your grandfather has already handed over the reins to Lan Ling. Once we go to Fengtian and Lan Ling grows up, we two will have no place to stand! So this time, I have already persuaded half of the shareholders. As long as we can join this alliance, we will be heroes of the Lan family. At the board meeting, all the shareholders will pressure the old man to let me become the chairman! So this time, your father is counting on you!"
Lan Qi trembled uncontrollably upon recalling his father's words!
The thought of that little bitch Lan Ling trying to trample on him made him feel suffocated!
Making money is nothing to be ashamed of! Even Han Xin endured the humiliation of crawling between someone's legs! What's wrong with me, Lan Qi, licking someone's foot?
The next second, Lan Qi knelt down with a thud, looked up and said with a grin, "It's my honor to lick Young Master Sun's feet! I'll lick them! I'll lick them right now!"
Everyone was stunned!
This Lan Qi is really shameless, he's really going all out!
Sun Hao was also somewhat surprised. Holy crap! This guy is really something else!
He couldn't help but nod, then suddenly changed his mind and said, "I just wanted to mess with you, but I didn't expect you to be so capable! Fine! Lick it clean for me, and I guarantee you'll be my follower from now on. Follow me, and you'll live a life of luxury!"
Upon hearing this, everyone wore expressions of envy.
Damn it!
Lan Qi is incredibly lucky to have caught the eye of Young Master Sun! He's destined for great things!
At this moment, many people even wished they could kneel down and fawn over Lan Qi!
Lanqi was overjoyed and immediately stuck out his big tongue to lick it, just then, crunch crunch!
A series of hurried high heel sounds came, and a pretty woman hurried over.
"Lan Qi, you dare! If you dare to lick my boots, I'll expel you from the Lan family today!!"
At this moment, her beautiful eyes were filled with anger!
