Chapter 309 0308 [Hongmen Banquet! 】
"Dong dong dong, Lord Rolands, the guest you invited has arrived."
"Please come in."
"yes!"
The hotel's personal butler turned around politely and invited Lei Luo, Yan Xiong and Shi Zhijian to enter the presidential suite.
I thought Lord Rowlands was the only one in the room, but I didn't expect the three of them to go in and see that Chen Zhichao was also there.
In front of a very quaint tea table, the white-haired and energetic Lawrence was wearing a light blue casual Tang shirt, brewing Kung Fu tea with a steady posture.
Seeing the three people coming in, without raising their heads, they said: "The three of you are looking for a place to sit. This tea table is very big, and the tea is about to be cooked."
Lei Luo sat down suspiciously.
Yan Xiong couldn't help but look at Chen Zhichao more.
Only Shi Zhijian sat down easily.
The Kadoorie family has been in Hong Kong for many years, and the members of the family have long been Sinicized. Not only can they speak fluent Cantonese, but even many living habits are the same as the locals.
Especially Lord Rowlands, apart from being a workaholic, he is also passionate about Qigong and health preservation, which is comparable to that Shao tycoon.
Compared with Daheng Shao, Lawrence has another hobby which is to drink Kung Fu tea, and he doesn't enjoy tea without it.
After a set of procedures, the three of Lei Luo had a small cup of Kung Fu tea in front of them. The delicate teacups wafted a faint fragrance, which was refreshing.
"Try it, this is the best Dahongpao." Lord Rowlands made an inviting gesture.
Lei Luo picked up the teacup.
Yan Xiong held up his teacup.
Chen Zhichao picked up the teacup.
Shi Zhijian didn't move much.
Lawrence glanced at him, "Why don't you move?"
Shi Zhijian said: "Just now I drank Laojun's eyebrows at Detective Lei's house, and there was still a taste of tea on the tip of my tongue. I'm afraid there will be conflicts between the two when they meet, which will ruin the charm of the Dahongpao."
Lei Luo, Yan Xiong, and Chen Zhichao's eyelids twitched, they were pretending!
Lawrence laughed, "I know tea, I have found a confidant."
The three of Lei Luo looked at each other, not knowing whether to drink this cup of tea or not to put it down, so they took a sip and put it down.
Seeing that the teacups of the three were about to fall to the ground, Lawlands suddenly looked at Yan Xiong and said, "Inspector Yan, the matter about Jiang Kun—"
Yan Xiong was worried about this. Hearing this, he was in a hurry and almost knocked over the teacup he had just put down. He was about to explain that this matter had nothing to do with him, it was all Shi Zhijian's idea...
Lawrence continued, "I want to thank you!"
"Huh?" Yan Xiong wondered if he heard it wrong.
Lei Luo also widened his eyes.
Although Lei Luo is the Chief Inspector of Zong Hua, and in Hong Kong, black and white are two ways to overwhelm the sky, but to put it bluntly, it is a pawn played by the rich and tycoon.
If people are willing, they can spend money to support a new detective at any time.
So a level like Lawrence's is simply not within Lei Luo's reach.
What's more, in terms of status, in addition to being a famous super tycoon, he is also a famous royal lord, his status is no small matter.
Therefore, Lei Luo actually made preparations secretly, and had no choice but to sell Shi Zhijian as a last resort.
Brothers, they are all for sale.
Although Lei Luo has sincere feelings for Shi Zhijian, he has already seen through the loyalty of the world, and only by protecting himself first can he save his brother with loyalty.
"Lord Lawrence, how do you say this?" Yan Xiong felt that he was asking a stupid question as soon as he said it.
Lawrence didn't take it seriously, "I would like to thank you and Detective Lei for helping me catch the arson suspect and save my oil company from disaster."
The expressions on Lei Luo and Yan Xiong's faces became very strange.
"Inspector Chen told me that Inspector Lei received the tip, and Inspector Yan killed his relatives righteously. I am very grateful for that."
Lei Luo and Yan Xiong looked at Chen Zhichao together, their expressions became even weirder.
Chen Zhichao rubbed his nose and looked at Shi Zhijian helplessly.
"This matter is serious. Inspector Chen has already found out. It turns out that the local gangsters in Tsuen Wan and the police station colluded to destroy Texaco Petroleum Company and force the company to relocate."
Lawrence sighed, "Hey, when we built our company in Tsuen Wan, we were stopped by the local people, saying that we were destroying the local feng shui. I know that Chinese people attach great importance to feng shui, but I didn't expect this conflict to continue to this day. ..."
Lei Luo and Yan Xiong were in a state of confusion, why is it different from the script they got?
Chen Zhichao looked at Shi Zhijian helplessly again.
Shi Zhijian took a sip of the teacup as if nothing had happened, and praised: "Good tea."
"No matter what, this matter was properly resolved by you. I would like to thank you anyway. For the time being, I will show my heart with this thin tea, and I hope I will not give up." Rollandshi raised his teacup and gestured to Lei Luo and the others.
Lei Luo, Yan Xiong, and Chen Zhichao hurriedly held up their teacups.
Shi Zhijian also raised his teacup.
Several people took a sip together.
After everyone put down their teacups, Luo Lanshi said again: "I have prepared a little gift for you and sent it to your home the next day, and I hope you can accept it. In addition, everyone has something to do, so I am grateful for taking the time to come here. Don’t dare to disturb too much.”
Lei Luo and the others hurriedly got up and said, "How dare you, we are bothering you too."
Immediately afterwards, there was a round of polite words, and then they bid farewell to Lord Rowlands one by one.
Lawrence asked the hotel's personal butler to send everyone outside the room before waving goodbye.
...
Leave the presidential suite and walk into the elevator.
Lei Luo was conflicted.
Yan Xiong was nervous and excited at the same time, grabbed Chen Zhichao behind him, "Say, what the hell are you doing?"
Chen Zhichao patted Yan Xiong's hand, "Release!" Then he said, "Ask him!" He pouted at Shi Zhijian who followed.
...
Inside the presidential suite.
A young ghost in his mid-twenties came out and sat down at the tea table.
Lawrence is slowly pouring himself a drink.
The young man took the tea kettle and poured a cup for Lawrence, and poured himself another cup, then raised his head and asked, "Father, why did you do this? You knew that those people just colluded to set us on fire." The company, not only do you not expose them, but you also cover them?"
Rollands held his teacup and smiled slightly, and said to his son Michael Kadoorie, "I just want to ask, is this good or bad for us?"
Mi Gao thought for a while, then shook his head: "I don't quite understand."
Lawrence sighed, this son still needs to learn, he is more than a little weaker than that young man.
"The Tsuen Wan Petroleum Company has been plagued by rats for many years, why has it been refusing to move?"
"Relocation requires relocation fees, which are huge, and those shareholders are not willing."
"Hehe, you only know one thing and don't know the other." Lawrence shook his head, "The relocation fee is just an excuse, and what's more important is the equity—what percentage of the shares does our family own in the oil company?"
"Forty percent."
"That's right."
"If the company relocates, what can we do?" Lawrence stared at his son, earnestly and kindly
Mi Gao seemed to think of something suddenly, "Father, you mean—"
