The years when I was an old man

"Third Uncle Wang Chonggui is also here. He is the richest man in Hexiang City. He used to be black and blue, but now he is whitewashed..."

Saying that, Su Mei pointed to a tall and thin old man in the crowd, and said to me.

"Xiaoxian said that there are second and third uncles here. Maybe Zou Tiansheng won't be so rampant..."

Zou Xiaoxian told me this.

But I just want to say that this idea is naive.

When Mr. Zou was alive, nothing changed.

What's more, the old man is no longer here.

Who would want to take care of these bad things about your Zou family?

And the reason why they can come to participate in this launching ceremony.

It's nothing more than making it for the living to see, trying to leave a reputation of righteousness.

While watching, Zou Xiaoxian had already walked over.

Once at our side she lowered her voice and whispered:

"Why are there so many guests here today? Many people, I didn't inform you at all..."

In fact, I was also surprised just now.How did Zou Xiaoxian notify so many people?

Any underground venue has never opened with much fanfare.

After all, this is a shady business.

So who called these people?

"Then what should we do? We can't invite all these people to the boat, can we?"

Su Mei asked Zou Xiaoxian back.

Zou Xiaoxian thought for a while, then said:

"Su Mei, you can book a few tables at Wangjiang Tower later. No matter what, the visitors are guests. After the launching ceremony, let's invite everyone to have a meal first. After the dinner, we will invite the important guests aboard... "

Su Mei agreed.

He took out his phone and started making arrangements.

Just as they were talking, another convoy slowly approached.

Looking at the license plate, Zou Xiaoxian immediately whispered:

"Why are people from the Qi family here? I didn't notify them..."

I know this.

Regardless of Zou Xiaoxian's notification or not, the members of the Qi family will arrive today.

As soon as the convoy stopped, they saw Qi Chengqiao and Qi Lan.

Surrounded by the crowd, he walked towards us.

The visitor is a guest, and we greeted him immediately.

As soon as he arrived, Qi Chengqiao immediately said to Zou Xiaoxian and me:

"Congratulations, Ms. Zou, the gambling boat is open today, and our Lan Dao in Habei is bustling again..."

Qi Chengqiao spoke politely.

Zou Xiaoxian said a few words politely.

Then, Qi Chengqiao raised his hand.

A follower behind him came up with a tray.

On the tray, there is a gift.

It's just that this gift was covered by a red cloth.

"Miss Zou, today is your big day, and Chengqiao doesn't know what to give you. I want to get some gift money, but it feels a bit tacky. I specially invited someone to order a gift for you. I don't know, Do you like..."

After finishing speaking, Qi Chengqiao slowly lifted the red cloth.

Under the red cloth, it turned out to be a model of a cruise ship made of pure gold.

"Miss Zou, I wish you smooth sailing in your gambling boat, and make a lot of money every day!"

Qi Chengqiao's generous writing immediately attracted many people to watch.

On the other hand, Qi Lan remained silent.

Just with a gentle smile on his face, he secretly looked at me from time to time.

Zou Xiaoxian thanked repeatedly, and said to Qi's siblings:

"You two, don't leave for a while. We are in Wangjiang Tower, and we have prepared bouillon and vegetarian dishes. After the meal, we will board the boat and have fun together..."

Qi Chengqiao agreed.

Just as he was talking, a follower walked up to Zou Xiaoxian.

He turned to her and said respectfully:

"Mr. Zou, the bow of the boat said that the auspicious time is coming. Let you prepare for the launching ceremony..."

Zou Xiaoxian nodded.Looking back at me again, he said:

"Little Sixth Master, you and I will participate in the launching ceremony together in a while!"

And without thinking about it, I shook my head and said:

"Mr. Zou, I'm just a part-time worker. It's inappropriate to participate in this kind of ceremony at this time!"

Zou Xiaoxian obviously didn't expect that I would reject her.

She stared at me blankly and said nothing more.Turned around and walked towards the pier.

I could feel that Zou Xiaoxian was a little dissatisfied.

But there's no way, I can't be on this boat and get involved too deeply with her.

Otherwise, one day when the ship sinks.I will also sink into the river.

The preparations for the launching ceremony are about to be completed.

Everyone stood at the back, and Zou Xiaoxian stood at the front.

And directly in front of her are various props needed for the ceremony.

The ship's handle head was counting the time, and he clenched his fist with his right hand and began to count down.

"Ten, nine, eight..."

The handlebars just counted down a few numbers.

Suddenly, a man's voice came from behind the crowd:

"Wait a moment!"

Everyone turned their heads involuntarily.

I saw a group of black people on the shore, walking towards the pier.

The leaders were Zou Tiansheng, the boss of the Zou family, and his wife Bai Jingting.

And next to them, there was actually the second boss Zou Tiancheng sitting in a wheelchair and being pushed.

I haven't seen him for many days, and the second boss at this time is pale and bloodless.

The domineering temperament of the past has long since disappeared.

Instead, be dull and careful.

Those of us know that the big boss will definitely come today.

It's just that everyone didn't expect that he took the time to come in time for the launching ceremony.

It was obvious that he just didn't want the ceremony to succeed.

Zou Tiansheng was the same as before, as soon as he came to him.

He greeted Li Zizi, Wang Fugui and others politely first.

Then, he exchanged a few words with Qi Chengqiao.

After he was done politely, he looked at Zou Xiaoxian and said with a reproachful smile:

"Xiaoxian, it's a big day for you to go into the water. Why didn't you tell the eldest brother and the second brother? With so many distinguished guests watching, it seems that our Zou family is not on the same page. My sister's boat is launched, and my brother is not there to congratulate..."

As he spoke, he nodded at Zou Xiaoxian with his finger.

"On this point, big brother must criticize you!"

Zou Tiansheng is good at tricks, he is the first to sue the wicked.

Zou Xiaoxian is still dumb eating Coptis chinensis, unable to tell the pain.

With so many people watching, Zou Xiaoxian couldn't refute.

She had no choice but to bite the bullet, smiled awkwardly, and said:

"Brother, I was worried that you were busy, so I didn't wait for you. It was my fault..."

"Okay, how can elder brother care about you. We don't talk about each other as a family. Look, elder brother specially gave you a big gift today..."

As he spoke, Zou Tiansheng raised his hand.

Then, I saw four followers walking over carrying an object.

Like the gift from Qi Chengqiao, it was also covered with a red cloth.
