Chapter 1340: Mr. Huo’s birthday banquet (2)
Lin Ran felt something was wrong. He raised his head and saw Hoxha standing in front of Master Huo with his head lowered like a child.
"You are so confused. Why are you fighting with Lei Jiangtao? What's your situation? Why did you send him to the Public Security Department?" Mr. Huo couldn't help but scolded Hocha first.
"It has nothing to do with me." Hoxha quickly explained, "Dad, you should also know the relationship between their family and the local security department. Even if I want to send him in, I can't!"
"What is that situation? Please explain it to me clearly!" His tone was a bit serious, which shocked everyone around him.
Those who originally wanted to go over and congratulate him immediately retreated after hearing these words to avoid being involved in anger.
"It's okay. This is how my father trains his children. You should eat and drink." The woman on the first floor smiled at the others.
Others also showed forced smiles, and the situation was a bit embarrassing.
Well, if it had been anyone else, in this case, the birthday banquet would probably have ended badly.
However, Mr. Huo's family has a big business and is very famous in the local area. It is an honor to attend his birthday banquet. Unless Mr. Huo personally drives people away, others will definitely not leave.
In order to avoid further embarrassment for them, they pretended not to hear the conversation just now.
Hoxha also noticed the commotion below and reminded his father to pay more attention to the impact.
"Now that you are promising, I dare to teach your father a lesson!" Mr. Huo became even more unstoppable. He had not retired yet, so he dared to speak to him in this tone.
In a few years, will you still take him seriously?
You are getting more and more outrageous. Okay, let me listen. What is going on? "Mr. Huo put his hands behind his back and showed an extremely angry expression.
Lin Ran and Guan Yun had already handed the red envelopes to Miss Huo's fourth daughter and congratulated them at the same time.
But the young lady of the Huo family didn't know his origin, so she didn't accept the red envelope directly, but kept staring at the two of them.
"Who are you?" she asked without mercy.
In Nanling, there are countless people who want to attend the old man's birthday banquet. Only those who have been invited by the family are eligible to enter. It does not mean that you can just enter if you give a red envelope. .
Lin Ran sighed. If Hoxha was here, he could go in at will.
Now, I still have to take out the invitation from my pocket.
The day before the banquet, Zhuang Sheng had already handed over the invitation from the Ministry of Chinese Culture to Lin Ran.
Originally, Miss Huo thought they were just here to gain popularity, but she didn't expect that the invitation they took out was actually golden.
The golden invitation is the highest standard among the invitations sent out this time, which represents the level of equality with Mr. Huo.
She couldn't believe the young man in front of her, so she took the invitation, opened it, and looked at the name inside carefully.
"Lin Ran?" She looked at this name and I felt a little unfamiliar. In the business district of Nanling, there was no businessman named Lin, at least not in the upper-class business district.
"Yes, this is my bodyguard." Lin Ran said lightly.
"Where are you from?" Miss Huo asked directly.
This made Lin Ran feel a little embarrassed. His invitation was sent to Zhuang Sheng from the Chinese Language and Culture Department, but Zhuang Sheng didn't come today. But after all, he was not a formal employee of the Chinese Language and Culture Department, so he didn't know how to explain his identity. .
Seeing his hesitation, Miss Huo immediately called for the bodyguard.
"You took them down and you dared to forge invitations!" she said angrily.
"I'm telling you, don't do anything!" Guan Yun saw a group of bodyguards coming around and immediately stopped in front of Lin Ran.
Everyone in the living room felt that the atmosphere suddenly turned cold. Someone dared to cause trouble at the old man's birthday banquet. Is this because he didn't live long enough?
Everyone consciously took a few steps to the side.
The bodyguards surrounded the two men, holding electric batons and other weapons in their hands.
Up there, Hoxha had already persuaded Mr. Huo to go into the inner room and tell him everything that happened to Tianxia Pavilion.
Although Mr. Huo thinks that the Lei family's channels are very important to him, compared with the Ministry of Chinese Culture and Literature, the Lei family is really not worth mentioning.
"So, Master Lin, who was so popular at the competition, is also here? How old is he? Is he in his early thirties?" Mr. Huo also wanted to win over him.
And he also had a guess in his mind.
No wonder the Ke family was able to win the competition. It turned out that the Ministry of Culture and Culture was behind it.
Zhuang Sheng came to him at that time and said that he wanted to attend his family's banquet. Mr. Huo felt a little strange.
Thinking about it this way...
The goal of the Ministry of Chinese Language and Culture this year is to focus on our own homes. This is a good opportunity.
"Dad, you guessed wrong, Lin Ran is only in his early 20s." Hoxha said, "And I have already investigated. He is not an official employee of the Ministry of Culture and Culture, and he also has his own shop in the capital. "
"My own shop?"
"Yes, it's called Shengshi Craftsmanship, which is relatively famous in the north." Hoxha explained that although his identity in the Ministry of Culture and Culture is very confidential, private information is completely open to the public.
"A handicraft shop?" Mr. Huo thought for a moment, then laughed, "Isn't it just a shop that sells fake goods? Is this really something done by people from the Ministry of Chinese Language and Literature?"
He found it somewhat interesting.
Hoxha had no explanation.
At this time, Mr. Huo said to Hoxha: "So, has Master Lin arrived at the venue now?"
"It should be here." Just now, Hoxha was in the hall and vaguely saw his Mercedes-Benz driving into the underground garage. Gangzi should have picked up someone.
Mr. Huo restrained his arrogant smile and said: "Zha'er, I know your ambition and your determination to win the antique market, but you should also know that not everyone who can enter the Ministry of Culture and Literature relies on their own strength. ."
"My child understands."
"His special performance in the competition was probably secretly arranged. Otherwise, why would no one bid for a broken screen?" Mr. Huo is indeed an old fox, and he immediately started thinking about conspiracy theories. stand up.
Hoxha thought it was impossible. There were still people bidding against him at that time, but the price of the screen seemed too low, and no one was willing to follow the bidding to the end, so in the end Ke Liang took the advantage.
He didn't know how to answer the question, so Mr. Huo spoke again.
"But it doesn't matter. This kind of person is more valuable." Mr. Huo's tone changed and he said to Hoxha, "I will handle the affairs of the Lei family. Master Lin, please help me keep an eye on him and find a way to find him." Weakness!"
Mr. Huo opened his eyes with a fierce look on his face.
His ambition is not just as simple as being the richest man in Nanling.
