Chapter 224: Taking office!
Xue Pinghai nodded, frowned, and as if remembering something, he suddenly warned, "Since you are the inspector this time, the heads of the aristocratic families in Jinling City will probably all be there. You must restrain yourself and avoid any more conflicts!"
Su Bai smiled bitterly: "I understand!"
As long as those guys don't bother me, I don't bother with them.
...................
At seven o'clock in the evening.
Qingfeng Garden at the foot of Mingshan Mountain in Jinling.
It serves as the official hotel for Jinling City to entertain major officials and important figures in the political and business circles.
The decoration here is extremely classical and grand, with carved railings, pavilions, rockery and flowing water, and the environment is quite elegant.
Yufeng Tower, banquet hall.
Although it was just past seven in the evening, the lights were already on.
There were not many waiters in the hall, and the precious mahogany sofas were filled with political and business leaders in suits.
"Brother Zheng, I didn't expect you to come too---" A middle-aged man in a blue suit saw Zheng Yucheng sitting in the corner and sighed, "I heard about Yonghe's situation. Don't be too sad!"
Zheng Yucheng looked up at him, immediately smiled, and said, "Thank you for your concern, Brother Duan. I'm much better now!"
This middle-aged man is none other than the current head of the Duan family, Duan Tianlu.
As the head of a martial arts family, although his cultivation level is not high, he has reached the state of great perfection of internal strength for many years. However, he has not made any progress in all these years and has found it difficult to step into the realm of transformation of strength!
However, even if it is difficult for him to break through, with the old man Duan Yu around, the Duan family is still the number one family in Jiangnan Province.
He dared not neglect Duan Tianlu.
Duan Tianlu patted his shoulder and sighed, "You shouldn't have come this time. I don't know what's wrong with Chen Xiuqi. He actually let a young boy who hasn't even grown all his hair be the inspector of the Heavenly Palace. It's ridiculous!"
A hint of coldness flashed in the depths of Zheng Yucheng's eyes, and he said with a forced smile, "Elder Chen naturally has his considerations! Let that little bastard be proud for a few more days!"
Duan Tianlu looked at him deeply and said with a smile: "It seems that Brother Zheng has already made a plan, so I won't say much."
Zheng Yucheng smiled without comment and said nothing.
far away.
Shen Daoru looked at the two of them calmly, with a barely perceptible sneer on his lips.
It seems that what Rong Huan and others said was right. Zheng Yucheng, who lost his children, has gone completely crazy.
Well, let them fight first. It’s time to reshuffle the city of Jinling!
Suddenly, there was a noise at the door.
Everyone looked towards the door and saw Xia Qianyu, wearing a white dress and as dazzling as the bright moon in the summer night sky, walking slowly towards them.
Behind him, a middle-aged man with silver-framed glasses followed. He was the head of the Xiang family, Xiang Xudong.
Seeing Xia Qianyu coming, many big men who were sitting quietly on the sofa quickly stood up.
"Miss Xia!"
"Miss Xia is becoming more and more beautiful!"
"Miss Xia, how is Patriarch Xia doing lately?"
Xia Qianyu greeted many middle-aged people in an orderly manner, and her demeanor showed her noble demeanor.
"Qianyu, I heard that you have applied to Jiangnan University this time. You must come to our house more often in the future! My girl Xueqing is also studying at Jiangnan University. You must keep in touch in the future!" Duan Tianlu said with a smile.
"Qianyu will definitely follow Uncle Duan's instructions! It just so happens that Sister Xueqing and I haven't seen each other for many years, so we must have a good chat when we have the chance." Xia Qianyu said with a smile.
Shen Daoru also smiled: "If Miss Xia goes to Jiangnan University, then Rong Huan also happens to be a graduate of Jiangnan University. Speaking of which, he is also your senior. If you have any academic doubts, you can ask him for advice---"
"Thank you, Mr. Shen. If I have the chance, I will definitely do it!" Xia Qianyu said lightly.
Shen Daoru nodded and said nothing more.
He and Xia Qianyu were not familiar with each other, so even if he wanted to get closer, there was no need to rush.
Wait until everyone is seated.
Xiang Xudong, who was sitting next to Shen Daoru, suddenly smiled and lowered his voice and said, "Old Shen, if I remember correctly, nephew Rong Huan is almost 25 years old this year, right? Let's not talk about how noble Miss Xia's status is. Just talking about her age, she is not even 20 years old! Tsk tsk, you really want to eat swan meat---"
Shen Daoru's expression didn't change at all. He glanced at him and said calmly, "What does President Xiang mean by this? I just want Rong Huan and Miss Xia to be friends. Did President Xiang misunderstand?"
"Besides, even if my toad can't eat the swan meat, yours can?"
Xiang Xudong adjusted his glasses and said with a smile, "Who said my toad wants to eat swan meat?"
"Miss Xia, like a swan, naturally deserves a prince—for example, the young master of the Su family in Zhongzhou—Old Shen, you should understand what I mean, right?"
Shen Daoru's pupils shrank slightly. This was interesting. Did the guy from the Zhongzhou Su family take a fancy to Xia Qianyu?
However, Xia Qianyu seems to have a close relationship with Su Bai from Jiangzhou!
A cold smile played on his lips as he said calmly, "Boss Xiang, you've really taken a lot of trouble! However, I heard that our Miss Xia has a very close relationship with Inspector Su, who will be coming soon! She even came all the way to Jinling City just for him. I wonder if Young Master Su in Zhongzhou knows about this?"
Xiang Xudong frowned slightly, his voice slightly cold: "Of course I know what Mr. Shen said - but Mr. Shen doesn't need to worry about these things!"
Shen Daoru smiled faintly and said nothing more, but there was a hint of amusement in his eyes.
When did Xiang Xudong become a member of the Zhongzhou Su family?
He subconsciously glanced at Xia Qianyu on the stage. If she knew that Xiang Xudong was the man of the young master of the Su family, I wonder how she would react?
Things are really getting more and more interesting.
When he thought of this, he chuckled inwardly, and without thinking any more, he simply closed his eyes and pondered.
Ten minutes later.
Su Bai and Chen Xiuqi finally arrived, followed by Tang Qiubai, Xue Rulong and He Qian.
"I am Chen Xiuqi, the Chief Elder of Jiangnan Heavenly Palace. Thank you all for taking the time to come here to witness the appointment ceremony of Inspector Su!"
Chen Xiuqi's face was solemn as he clasped his fists and bowed to the crowd below. He said, "You are all the heads of families in Jinling City and even in Jiangnan Province. My Dragon Kingdom Heavenly Palace has a total of five Inspectors. The southern region, where Jiangnan Province is located, has not had an Inspector for nearly two years. Now, Inspector Su has finally arrived!"
"Let us welcome Inspector Su!"
Although Shen Daoru, Duan Tianlu and others looked unnatural, they did not say much. They still had to give face to the Heavenly Palace.
Zheng Yucheng was breathing rapidly and staring at Su Bai as if he could eat him alive.
Noticing his gaze, Su Bai glanced at him but said nothing more. He frowned and raised his hand to the people in the audience, saying, "Don't be polite, everyone. I don't like complicated etiquette!"
Everyone was stunned and wanted to applaud, but their hands were suspended in the air, not knowing whether to put them down or not. It was extremely awkward.
Seeing this, Xia Qianyu's big eyes smiled into crescent shapes, and she immediately agreed: "We are all martial artists, why do we need so much red tape?"
After saying this, she took out the bronze token, held it high, and said loudly:
"I declare that from now on, Mr. Su is the inspector of the Dragon Kingdom Heavenly Palace!"
