"Uncle Hong, this bottle of Niulanshan Erguotou is something I've treasured for many years! Today is a special day, so I'm bringing it out for everyone to enjoy." The Third Elder said loudly, holding a bottle of Erguotou in his hand.
"Good! I, Hong Guang, love drinking Chinese liquor, especially Erguotou. It's strong! Unlike the Japanese liquor, which has a strange taste!" Hong Guang waved his hand, striking a pose like a rough-and-tumble hero, and took the glass filled with Erguotou, drinking it all in one gulp!
"Impressive drinking capacity! Fill it up!" Elder Yu Xianming exclaimed in admiration upon seeing this, his confidence in the cooperation growing even stronger.
After several rounds of drinks and dishes, the Grand Elder steered the conversation toward the main purpose of the meeting. However, before that, he chose to move the meeting to the council chamber on the third floor, where it was quiet and very safe.
"Mr. Hong, I think everyone knows why you've come to Florence this time, so I'll get straight to the point. The matter of establishing an underground passage between Florence and the Chinese domestic market is now very mature. I wonder if you have any specific suggestions, Mr. Hong, so we can discuss them together." Yang Qinghai's words directly steered the conversation to the main topic. Hong Guang, sitting in his chair, nodded after listening to Yang Qinghai's words. "Second Elder is right. However, before that, I'd like to pay my respects to the Dragon King. After all, he was the one who proposed this. Now that he's passed away, as a future partner, I still feel it's necessary to show the Dragon King respect!"
"Uh... this... Mr. Hong, how about this, let's talk business first, and then go to pay respects to the Dragon King, what do you think?" As soon as Yang Qinghai finished speaking, a voice of firm opposition came from outside the door!
"No! The Dragon King just passed away, and today is only the sixth day. We can't even finish the seven-day mourning period before we start doing other things. This is something our ancestors will not allow!" As soon as the voice fell, Uncle Liang and the venerable Fourth Elder, Long Suifeng, pushed open the door and walked in.
"Yu Xianming! Yang Qinghai! Ma Bin! You three are quite the schemers! You're negotiating deals with people before all five elders of the Dragon Dance Society have even gathered? Aren't you being a bit too hasty?" The Fourth Elder, Long Suifeng, spoke slowly and deliberately, but the sarcasm in his words was obvious to everyone.
These two appeared at this crucial moment, which directly led to the exciting scene that followed!
"Elder? What's going on?" Hong Guang's face immediately darkened, and he stared into Yu Xianming's eyes as he asked in a deep voice.
"Oh, it's nothing. They were just kicked out of the Dragon Dance Party, so they're resentful and want to cause trouble!" Second Elder Yang Qinghai's words made Uncle Liang and Long Suifeng burst into laughter. "Yang Qinghai, we were kicked out of the Dragon Dance Party? How come we didn't know? Did the Dragon King give the order? Or did the young lady, who is the successor, agree to this?" Long Suifeng always spoke slowly and deliberately, but the disdain in his tone and expression made Hong Guang and the others, who were guests, very unhappy.
“Three elders, it seems that the Dragon Dance Association still has many unresolved matters. Under these circumstances, I think our cooperation will have to be postponed. We will take our leave now. We hope that the three elders can finish dealing with the Dragon Dance Association’s internal affairs as soon as possible, and then we can discuss cooperation again! Canglang, let’s go!” Hong Guang clasped his hands in a fist salute and said to Yu Xianming and the other two with a very grim expression. After speaking, he got up and left the council hall!
"Master Hong! Master Hong..." When Elder Yu Xianming was about to say something to persuade him to stay, Yang Qinghai reached out and pulled his elder brother back. "Brother, there's no need to stay. Dealing with the matter at hand is the most important thing!"
"Liang Laowu, Long Laosi, you two have guts! Fine! Since you dare to do this, don't blame me for being ruthless! Guards! Arrest them both!" The First Elder was furious and roared at Liang Bo and Long Laosi.
"Who's arresting people?" The moment this voice rang out, the situation inside the room subtly shifted...
