There is a large conference table in the conference room.
Those who came to attend the meeting also sat down.
There are two chairs on the rectangular conference table, representing the imperial court and the Duanmu family!
The seating arrangement was the same in previous years.
However, this year is different.
This year, there is one more Xiao Chen!
So, when Mr. Bai's eyes swept across the two chairs, he narrowed his eyes slightly. Was he doing this on purpose?
Since Mr. Bai could think of this, naturally others could think of this as well, but they didn't say anything.
"Hey, Lao Luo, there will definitely be something exciting to watch soon."
There were also two chairs at the bottom of the conference table, which were the seats for Xue Zhanhu and Luo Shijie.
As for this nomination meeting, the two of them were just there to watch, so they just listened from the side and basically did not give any opinions.
Behind them were the chairs for Xue Fei and Luo Changkong.
"Um."
Luo Shijie nodded, looking normal.
"Old Xue, have you ever met Duanmu Ci?"
"No."
Xue Zhanhu shook his head.
"Why, have you seen it?"
"I haven't seen him either, but... through some of the things he did in Longhai, I have a preliminary evaluation of him."
"Oh? Lao Luo, what do you think will happen today? Will it be two tigers fighting each other? Or something else?"
Xue Zhanhu asked with great interest.
“It’s hard to say.”
Luo Shijie shook his head.
"But I'm optimistic about Xiao Chen."
"Oh, I haven't seen that kid suffer a loss. If Duanmu Ci can make that kid suffer a loss, I'd be quite impressed."
Xue Zhanhu laughed.
“…”
Luo Shijie didn't say anything else. He was also looking forward to what was to come.
"Old White, what do you think?"
Mr. Xu came to Mr. Bai's side and nodded towards the two chairs at the top.
"How do I see? Haha, use my eyes."
Mr. Bai smiled.
"I don't know where these two guys are going. Why haven't they come yet?"
Bai Wei next to him also frowned slightly.
In his opinion, if Xiao Chen had arrived first, he would have just sat down.
You can't say that someone chased him away, right?
Now, there are only two chairs, one belongs to Lin Nan, and the other one... is that Xiao Chen's, or Duanmu Ci's? !
"Wait a minute."
Mr. Bai shook his head.
"Don't worry about them, just do our job well."
"Yes, father."
Bai Wei nodded.
"Hehe, all my old friends, are you all here?"
Jiang Tiansheng appeared with a smile on his face, followed by the current head of the Jiang family, Jiang Yunhui, and Jiang Yu.
The three of them are attending this meeting today on behalf of the Chiang family.
"Mr. Jiang."
People like Bai Wei, when they saw Jiang Tiansheng coming, stood up and greeted him.
Although everyone is in two camps, they still have to greet each other because their status is clear.
Jiang Yunhui and Jiang Yu also greeted Mr. Bai and others.
"Haha, Jiang Yu, huh? Very good. Your grandfather called you back this time, which shows that he has high expectations for you."
Mr. Bai looked at Jiang Yu and said with a smile.
"I won't let him down."
Jiang Yu nodded and said respectfully.
"Yeah, good, very good."
Old Master Bai nodded, a gleam of light flashed in his old eyes. Ha, this is interesting. Xiao Chen’s opponent is not only Duanmu Ci, but also the kid from the Jiang family!
After the greetings, Jiang Tiansheng sat in the first seat at the top left.
Next to them are Jiang Yunhui and Jiang Yu.
On the opposite side were Mr. Bai, Bai Wei and Bai Ye, the latter of whom had not come in yet.
Further down, there are the Tang family, the Xu family, the Ouyang family, the Qin family and the Su family, with the seven major families sitting on both sides.
In addition to the seven major families, there are several first-class forces, such as the Zhao family supported by the imperial court, the Chu family, the Zhuge family, and the other two families supported by the Duanmu family.
Of course, the seat where the Zhao family should be sitting is now empty.
Just as they were chatting, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and Lin Nan came in from outside with an assistant.
Seeing Lin Nan coming in, the scene became quiet.
"Mr. Lin."
Mr. Bai and others had high status, and although they did not stand up, they also greeted Lin Nan with a smile.
"Haha, Mr. Bai, Mr. Jiang..."
Lin Nan smiled and greeted everyone in turn.
After saying hello, he looked up at the two chairs, his eyes flashed, and he walked over.
Then, he walked over and sat down slowly.
After he sat down, almost everyone glanced at the remaining chair.
Just as they were all thinking about their own things, the door of the conference room opened again and Duanmu Ci came in from outside.
"He is Duanmu Ci?"
Xue Zhanhu looked at Duanmu Ci.
“Not as good as Xiao Chen.
"Hmm? Old Xue, you can tell it with just one glance?"
Luo Shijie next to him was a little surprised.
"Yes, he's not as handsome as Xiao Chen. Can't you see that?"
Xue Zhanhu nodded and asked.
“…”
Luo Shijie was speechless. This guy was not as good as Xiao Chen. Was he talking about this? !
"This kid...is not simple either."
Old Master Bai looked at Duanmu Ci and muttered softly.
"Where did Xiao Chen go? If he had come in first, this game could have been won..."
Mr. Xu frowned slightly.
"Xiao Qing, go check on Xiao Chen. Where is he?"
Old Master Su also frowned and whispered to Su Qing who was sitting next to him.
"Grandpa, no need."
Su Qing shook her head.
"It'll be alright."
"Humph, you should have figured it out. They did this on purpose... Two chairs, three people. This game is not easy to break!"
Mr. Su narrowed his eyes and said.
"I believe in Xiao Chen."
Su Qing said lightly.
Hearing his granddaughter's words, Mr. Su looked at her and suddenly smiled.
"Well, since you said you believe him, then I believe him too."
"hehe."
Su Qing also smiled, but there was still a hint of worry in the depths of her eyes.
"Everyone, let me introduce you. This is Duanmu Ci, the most outstanding young man in the Duanmu family! This time, he is also representing the Duanmu family to participate in the five-year competition."
Jiang Tiansheng stood up and introduced loudly.
"Hello everyone, I am Duanmu Ci, thank you for your guidance."
Duanmu Ci nodded and said lightly.
Looking at Duanmu Ci's appearance, Mr. Bai and others frowned slightly.
Isn't this young man too arrogant?
"Humph, a bunch of old guys. You didn't give me face before, and now you want me to give you face? Dream on!"
Duanmu Ci sneered in his heart and walked slowly towards the remaining chair at the top.
The middle-aged man behind him followed closely and walked over.
Under the gaze of everyone, Duanmu Ci slowly sat down.
“…”
Old Master Bai watched Duanmu Ci sit down and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"You are Mr. Lin, right? Hello, I am Duanmu Ci."
Duanmu Ci turned around and looked at Lin Nan and said.
"Hello, Mr. Duanmu."
Lin Nan nodded, his expression calm.
Nowadays, the conflict of interests between the imperial court and the Duanmu family has become obvious, so he is too lazy to pay attention to Duanmu Ci.
Most importantly, the Duanmu family touched the bottom line of the country.
In fact, it can no longer be called a "conflict of interest", but the Duanmu family is too ambitious and wants to destabilize China!
Therefore, he didn't think there was anything to talk about with the people from the Duanmu family.
If that person hadn't said that, everything in Longhai would be under Xiao Chen's control.
Then he would probably directly mobilize the people from the Longhai Garrison to capture the genius of the Duanmu family first!
After a brief greeting, Duanmu Ci slowly stood up again.
"Everyone here, this year I am here on behalf of the Duanmu family to host Longhai's five-year competition. This time..."
Just as Duanmu Ci was speaking, the door of the conference room was pushed open again.
Then, two figures came in from outside.
Looking at these two figures, many people became excited. Here they come!
"Well, Brother Chen, are we late?"
After Bai Ye came in, he took a quick look and said in a low voice.
"No."
Xiao Chen shook his head and then smiled.
"Hehe, sorry everyone, I'm late."
"Who are you!"
Before Xiao Chen could say anything else, suddenly, a cold voice sounded.
"Today is the nomination meeting. How come anyone can get in?"
“…”
Hearing this, everyone at the scene was startled. Is this a tit-for-tat?
Especially Mr. Bai and others, they all shook their heads secretly. The young people nowadays are really straightforward.
In the past, they should have at least said a few polite words before targeting each other, right?
Now, he drew his bayonet and was ready to fight.
"Haha, who the hell are you?"
Xiao Chen turned around, with the smile on his face not diminishing at all, and looked at Duanmu Ci and asked.
"Duanmu family, Duanmu Ci!"
Duanmu Ci stared at Xiao Chen and said coldly.
"Duanmu family? Duanmu Ci? Oh, in this Longhai area, I have heard of the Bai family, the Su family, the Tang family, the Xu family, the Qin family, the Jiang family, the Ouyang family... What is this Duanmu family? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Xiao Chen sneered.
"you……"
Duanmu Ci was furious and slapped the conference table with a loud noise.
Mr. Bai and the others also curled their lips. Xiao Chen's mouth was really powerful.
Putting aside other things, when it comes to bickering, even ten Duanmu Ci tied together would not be a match for Xiao Chen!
"I what me?"
Xiao Chen looked at Duanmu Ci without any fear.
He even decided that if this grandson dared to show off to him today, he would kill him!
What a genius of the Duanmu family, bullshit!
"Hey, friend Duanmu, calm down first. Let me introduce you. This is friend Xiao Chen."
Jiang Tiansheng coughed dryly and stood up to smooth things over.
"Hello, Xiao Xiaoyou, I'm Jiang Tiansheng."
"Hello, Mr. Jiang."
Xiao Chen withdrew his gaze from Duanmu Ci and nodded to Jiang Tiansheng.
"Xiao Chen? Oh, so you are Xiao Chen!"
Duanmu Ci took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, pretended to have just recognized Xiao Chen, and smiled coldly.
"If I remember correctly, you don't seem to be qualified to attend this meeting today?"
"I'm not qualified?"
Xiao Chen looked at Duanmu Ci again with a playful smile.
