Chapter 77 The Power of the Li Family
??Yucheng Hotel.
??The place is decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and the crowds are noisy and busy.
??More than a hundred members of the Li family were present, and some of the closest relatives also came. Li Xinglong even arranged several buses, wishing to move the entire village here.
Originally, he didn't want to make such a big deal, but he received a series of phone calls yesterday and learned that many wealthy sons were interested in coming, and finally even the Qingzhou County Magistrate called. With so many big shots calling him, Li Xinglong was instantly overwhelmed by great joy and felt that he might be able to rise to prominence.
??In the past, he would have to curry favor with a director for a long time, but he might not be able to get close to him.
??In addition to being happy, Li Xinglong also suspected that he was a liar. But no matter what, he had promised him, so he had to put on a grand ceremony, after all, it was his daughter's coming-of-age ceremony.
??So he booked the best hotel in the entire Yucheng.
The two brothers Li Xinglong and Li Xingguo stood at the hotel gate, welcoming the guests who kept coming. The first to arrive were some business partners, and Li Xinglong introduced his brother Li Xingguo to them one by one, so as to make them familiar.
At this time, his business was growing steadily, and the government kept looking for him to cooperate with him. His business was getting bigger and bigger. Now it was no longer a small factory, and Li Xinglong needed a trustworthy person to share the burden.
??Just like other family businesses, cooperation based on blood ties is the most solid. He wants to promote Li Xingguo. It's not that there are no capable people in the company, but he doesn't trust them. If his business really grows in the future, it's better to give the second-in-command position to his own brother than to an outsider.
??The principal of No. 1 Middle School walked towards him, shaking hands with Li Xinglong with a smile on his face.
"Boss Li, long time no see."
"Principal Liang, it is my great honor that you have come to visit me. This is my fourth brother, Li Xingguo. His son, Li Yi, went to your school to take an exam some time ago."
"Mr. Li, I've heard a lot about you. A good father will have a good son. Your son got full marks in my exam some time ago. He will surely be admitted to a prestigious university in the future."
Principal Liang turned around and greeted Li Xingguo, and the two shook hands tightly. The former smiled calmly, while the latter was a little nervous.
"Hello, hello. Thank you so much for giving my Li Yi a chance."
??Before they could chat for long, another group of people arrived.
??The leader was a middle-aged man who was a little fat, and behind him was a group of middle-aged men in black jackets, plaid shirts, and big leather belts. From their clothes and walking posture, it was obvious that they were leaders.
??The mayor of Yucheng, the director of the Education Bureau, the director of the Public Security Bureau...a large group of government leaders came towards them.
??Principal Liang was dumbfounded by such a scene.
??I originally thought that he was one of the most outstanding people present, but I didn't expect that I was just a small fry.
??Hiss! The Li family is really powerful.
??While Principal Liang was expressing his feelings, Li Xinglong had already come to his senses and immediately went up to him with a smile on his face.
"Welcome, leaders. I am flattered. I don't know what to say. I will just bow to you all."
??Li Xinglong was so excited that he bowed and walked away. This action scared the mayor so much that he hurried forward to support him.
"No, no."
??If I bow again, I will be in trouble. Although I know it is unlikely that I will be caught because of such a thing, I still want to be safe.
??Being treated like this by such a big leader, Li Xinglong was even more flattered, and a little touched rose in his heart. The friendly treatment of a big man can make a small person feel touched.
??The mayor then turned his gaze to Li Xingguo, who was standing nearby and looked a little nervous, and asked calmly, "Who is this?"
??Li Xinglong quickly introduced: "Li Xingguo, my younger brother, Xingguo, why don't you say hello to the mayor."
"Ah... hello, leader." Li Xingguo had never seen such a scene before, and his hands were sweating from nervousness.
??In the past, the mayor of a township was the highest-ranking official he could come into contact with, and he could not even dream of becoming a mayor.
"Hello, hello." The mayor smiled very kindly, without any airs of a big leader.
"Mr. Li Xingguo, right? Xingguo, what a nice name."
"You are too kind."
??Then people behind him came forward one after another to shake hands with Li Xingguo, each with a friendly smile on their face, chatting and laughing with Li Xingguo. However, Li Xinglong next to him raised his hand for a long time, but no one came to greet him.
Fortunately, after the leaders greeted Li Xingguo, they did not forget him and shook hands with him, which made him less embarrassed.
"Fuck, I didn't realize your family is so powerful, and you told me you were from the countryside."
??In the back, Tang Huiyun put her arm around Li Lili's shoulders, looking at the big shots in front, and kept exclaiming.
"The mayor, the director of the Education Bureau, the director of the Police Bureau, and almost all the leaders of Yucheng are here. Hiss! Now I believe you are from the Li family, one of the five surnames and seven families."
Tang Huiyun's family was engaged in real estate and often interacted with these big leaders, so they naturally knew these people. Their families wanted to worship these people, but today they actually came to attend their best friend's coming-of-age ceremony.
??It is hard to imagine how powerful the Li family is.
??In Tang Huiyun’s mind, the Li family was almost associated with the founding fathers and a reclusive family.
"Miss Li, if I have offended you in the past, done anything wrong, been mean, had a strange temper, been arrogant, or made you dislike me, you must forgive me."
