Second day of the Lunar New Year.

Early in the morning, Grandpa and Grandma both changed into new clothes bought by Qu Xiangru, looking refreshed.

To make it easier for them to head to the Provincial City today, Jiang Wangshan specially left a business car.

At this moment, the three elderly, along with Liu Yuanchao who stayed overnight, were all sitting on the aviation seats of the business car.

The driver smoothly drove the vehicle, heading toward the Provincial City.

Song Guanchao drove his own car, following behind.

As the car entered the Provincial City, looking at the high-rises, Grandpa and Grandma exclaimed, "The changes are really big."

They hadn't left the village for many years, and they didn't expect the city to have developed so rapidly now.

...

At ten in the morning.

A Rolls-Royce Ghost led the way, followed by a lineup of Maybachs.

The motorcade entered the Peace Restaurant.

The Rolls-Royce stopped at the entrance of the restaurant.

The car door opened, and the Old Lady of Jiang got out of the car, looked around, and asked, "Lu Xiao isn't here yet?"

Jiang Xiuwen said, "The Lu Family is still on their way."

The Old Lady of Jiang nodded, turned around, and sat back in the car.

Today's meal was hosted by the Lu Family Patriarch.

As a guest, it wouldn't be polite to go in before the host arrived.

These elders were particular about such etiquette and wouldn't disrupt the rules.

Just after she sat down in the car, she suddenly saw a somewhat familiar figure walking over from outside the hotel.

This was a man in his forties, wearing glasses, looking very gentle and refined.

The Old Lady stared at this person for a few seconds, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"Mom, what's the matter?" Jiang Xiuwen noticed the change in the Old Lady's expression and asked curiously.

"Mr. Cai!" The Old Lady's tone was somewhat excited.

Mr. Cai?

Following the Old Lady's gaze, Jiang Xiuwen saw that figure.

The demeanor was indeed extraordinary, but he didn't recognize this person.

"Mom, who is this Mr. Cai?"

"From the Gu Family on Hong Kong Island, Chairman Gu's secretary, Cai Zixiang!"

"It's him!"

Jiang Xiuwen was shocked and couldn't help but ask a rather silly question, "Mom, are you sure you didn't mistake him?"

"Impossible to mistake!" The Old Lady of Jiang said, "Last year, I attended a summit on Hong Kong Island and saw this Mr. Cai. I didn't expect he would come to Jiangzhou City!"

Moreover, it was at the Peace Restaurant.

It seemed he must be meeting some local businessman or official.

For people of this caliber, the discussions must be about significant matters.

At this time, Jiang Xiuwen suddenly said, "Huh, why is Mr. Cai standing at the entrance? Could he be waiting for someone?"

The Old Lady nodded, "He should be waiting for someone."

The mother and son were increasingly shocked.

Who could make Mr. Cai personally stand at the entrance to greet them?

They could first rule out high-ranking provincial officials.

Even the Provincial Party Secretary wasn't qualified enough for Mr. Cai to personally greet at the door.

It seemed it had to be a family head or business leader from Nanjiang Province.

But from the Old Lady's understanding of prominent businesses and families in Nanjiang, she couldn't imagine which family or enterprise would have such qualifications.

Or perhaps, Mr. Cai was not waiting for a Nanjiang enterprise.

But rather someone else, and they just happened to agree to meet here.

She guessed it must be like this.

She quickly tidied her clothes and hair, pushed open the car door, and walked toward Cai Zixiang.

Cai Zixiang had noticed these luxury cars upon arrival but didn't pay them much heed.

At this moment, he noticed an old lady getting out of a car and walking toward him.

He had already guessed the general situation.

This old lady probably recognized him and was coming over to chat.

"Hello, Mr. Cai." The Old Lady maintained her etiquette.

"Hello." Cai Zixiang smiled.

The Old Lady walked closer and noticed that Cai Zixiang was carrying a transparent gift box.

From the outside, she could see that inside the gift box was an exquisite old ginseng.

This old ginseng had seven roots, at the very least, Thousand-year-old Wild Ginseng!

The value had already exceeded ten million.

The Old Lady's mind raced, thinking this must surely be a gift Mr. Cai prepared for the other party.

She wondered who on earth could make Mr. Cai carry a gift and personally wait at the entrance.

"I am from the Jiang Family in Nanjiang Province. Last year at a summit on Hong Kong Island, I had the opportunity to meet Mr. Cai."

The Old Lady introduced herself and then smiled, "It just so happens I'm also waiting for someone here. If you don't mind, Mr. Cai, I'll wait with you?"

Mr. Cai smiled, "You're too kind, Old Lady."

Thus, the two of them chatted intermittently.

Soon, a group of young people entered the restaurant, heading toward the entrance.

It was Jiang Wangshan and his group.

Li He saw these luxury cars and said, "There are quite a few wealthy people in Jiangzhou City."

Jiang Wangshan smiled and said, "After all, it's the provincial capital."

Each of them was holding something in their hands.

These were gifts they had decided on overnight, and early in the morning, they had them flown in from Yanjing.

They did not go inside but instead stood outside the restaurant, waiting quietly.

Li He asked, "Should we call and ask where they are?"

"No need to ask, just wait." Jiang Wangshan said calmly.

Tang Xiaomi glanced out of the corner of her eye and suddenly saw a familiar figure.

She stared for two seconds and recognized him.

It was Cai Zixiang from the Gu Family on Hong Kong Island!

Tang Xiaomi was a bit surprised. Why was this business tycoon, influential across the two shores and three places, here?

However, she knew him, but it was evident he had no impression of her.

Tang Xiaomi had no intention of striking up a conversation.

Although Cai Zixiang's status was exceptional, she was, after all, the granddaughter of the Ministry of Public Security's Minister. Her status wasn't ordinary either, so she wouldn't lower herself to greet him.

At around ten in the morning.

A business car drove in.

But the entrance to the parking lot was blocked by those motorcades.

The driver honked, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Jiang Wangshan smiled and said, "They've arrived."

This was the business car he had left behind last night.

They walked over, ready to greet.

However, a small incident occurred.

It was as if the Jiang Family motorcade were dead, impervious to the honking behind them, with no intention of moving.

The driver, a bit upset, honked a few more times.

Those few honks seemed to provoke the other side.

The car doors opened, and a few Jiang Family men got out, surrounding the business car, and fiercely said, "What's with the honking?"

The driver's anger flared, but he still reasoned calmly with them, "Please move the cars a bit, we need to get in."

The Jiang Family members snorted, "Can't move, wait patiently."

The driver was furious, but helpless.

After all, there was a leader on board.

Besides the leader, there were two elderly folks whom even the leader had to treat with respect.

Liu Yuanchao wasn't so patient, rolled down the window, and scolded, "Move the cars!"

A young man from the Jiang Family sneered and cursed, "Old bastard, who are you shouting at?"

Liu Yuanchao glared, "You block the entrance here and still have the nerve? Move the cars quickly!"

Mr. Chi was also displeased with these Jiang Family members and said sternly, "Young man, you're blocking the entrance to the parking lot, and we can't get in."

However, these Jiang Family youths were used to being arrogant and didn't respond, simply saying, "If you can't get in, don't. There's plenty of parking across."

"Damn!"

A sudden angry shout emerged, and a few Jiang Family members turned to see Jiang Wangshan and his group storming over in a rage.

Li He pointed at the Jiang Family members and yelled, "A good dog doesn't block the way, get out of here!"
