492 The Pearl of the Qi Family
Lu Benwei reported the scale of the Qi familyâs business in Tianjin.
As expected, Qi Wuâs expression could not hold back his excitement.
âAs expected, itâs a piece of fat meat!â
Qi Tianci rubbed his hands and said with a flattering look, âSecond Uncle, are you satisfied with this result?â
âSatisfied. Quite satisfied. â Qi Wu nodded repeatedly, eager to claim Qi Tianciâs business.
âAs long as youâre satisfied!â
Qi Tianci was quite happy and raised his glass.
Qi Wu also felt that this nephew of his was more pleasing to the eye. Other than him, every other member of the younger generation in the Qi family respected him so much.
Qi Wu had just figured out why Qi Tianci was trying so hard to please them.
No matter what, Qi Tianci would have frothed at the mouth if the Qi family had used even the slightest bit of force. Instead of resisting, it was better to entertain them well and leave a good impression. Qi Tianci might even have a chance of survival.
âLittle Qi, why didnât you do this earlier?â
Qi Wu looked pleased with himself and clinked glasses with Qi Tianci.
âBang!â
After drinking a glass of strong liquor, Qi Wu was a little carried away.
Qi Tianci saw that it was about time, so he whispered into Qi Wuâs ear, âHow could I, Second Uncle? In the future, when I arrive at the Qi family, Iâll have to rely on you. Why donât I take this opportunity today to show my filial piety to you?â
After saying that, he handed him a paper bag. The logo of âMoutaiâ was printed on the packaging.
Qi Wu glanced at it. Other than the two bottles of Moutai, there was also a gold bar inside, filling up the entire space. It was obvious that there was something stuffed underneath.
As someone who had been a pain in the *ss for many years, Qi Wu clearly understood what Qi Tianci meant. However, this number was a little too little for him.
âTianci, what are you doing? I donât lack such things at home.â
Qi Tianci cursed in his heart, but he smiled and said, âSecond Uncle, of course I know. These things are all in my car. You can drive them back directly when the time comes. I brought it up for you to take a look.â
Qi Wu then revealed a comfortable smile.
âYouâre worth teaching! Among the younger generation of the Qi family, youâre the only one who knows how to do things.â
After saying that, Qi Wu took the paper bag and placed it by his feet.
At this moment, a subordinate ran over in a hurry, looking like something bad had happened.
âSecond Leader!â seeing that Qi Wu was drinking to his heartâs content, his subordinate shouted anxiously from the side.
Qi Wuâs mood was disturbed, and he scolded impatiently. âWhat are you doing? Canât you see that Iâm drinking to my heartâs content with my nephew?â
Qi Tianci said magnanimously, âSecond Uncle, business is more important. Go and see whatâs wrong first.â
âSpit it out if you have something to say!â Qi Wu smacked his lips impatiently.
The subordinate glanced at Qi Tianci with fear and then at Qi Wu, who was in high spirits. He gritted his teeth and leaned down to whisper into Qi Wuâs ear, âSecond Leader, thereâs a problem with the asset recovery. Our people went to various companies and shops to check their assets. We didnât expect to be stopped.â
Qi Wu sobered up immediately. He stood up and deliberately avoided Qi Tianci.
âWho is stopping us?â
âItâs not a special person. They are citizens of Jinmen City. They wonât let us reclaim the assets here.â
Qi Wuâs expression turned colder and colder. He turned around and glared at Qi Tianci. âQi Tianci, did you do this?â
âWhatâs wrong, Second Uncle?â Qi Tianci was confused. âWhy are you so angry?â
âYou sent people to stop us from retrieving Tianjinâs assets?â
âImpossible!â Qi Tianci naturally knew what was going on, but he pretended to have a headache and said, âNo, let me figure out whatâs going on.â
At this moment, another subordinate ran over, his face full of urgency. He could not care less about the people present and said directly, âSecond Leader, bad news! A team that we sent to retrieve Tianjinâs assets was stripped naked and sent back to the teleportation array!â
âDamn it, this group of unruly people ruined my plan!â
Qi Tianciâs reaction was even more agitated than Qi Wuâs. He opened his mouth and cursed. Qi Wu sneered in his heart, thinking that Qi Tianci was deliberately putting on a show for him.
âSecond Uncle, donât worry. Iâll settle this for you,â Qi Tianci said.
âChu Lu, come with me,â he said as he waved his hand.
Lu Benwei responded and followed Qi Tianci out of the room.
Qi Tianciâs expression had completely changed.
âBrother Lu, youâre still the smartest. I didnât know that we can mobilize the power of the masses.â
âThis is all thanks to Old Master Qiâs reputation. He has gathered a lot of people.â Lu Benwei smiled faintly.
âOh, right, howâs your matter going?â he asked after a pause.
Qi Tianci flashed the mini video recorder in his arms. The scene of Qi Wu accepting the bribe had been recorded.
âTonight, Iâll arrange for that b*stard Qi Wu to send the videotape to Qi Wuâs wife. Tsk, tsk, tskâ¦â Qi Tianci smiled maliciously.
At this moment, Lu Benwei thought of something and said, âBy the way, are you sure we donât need to care about the two people on their side?â
Qi Tianci knew who Lu Benwei was talking about.
âItâs fine. Theyâre just here to play in Tianjin. One is lecherous, and the other has princess syndrome. Itâs not a problem.â
âThen thereâs nothing else for me to do. Iâll go back first.â Lu Benwei nodded.
âThank you, Brother Lu. â Qi Tianci cupped his hands and thanked him again. âThank you for your help, Brother Lu. â
After saying that, he turned around and returned to the drinking hall.
...
Lu Benwei turned around and went downstairs.
âIf we can help Qi Tianci take over the Qi family, will that work?â
Soon, Lu Benwei dismissed this idea.
âAs one of the eight great families, the Qi family is deeply rooted. Today, weâre only teaching a person without any real power a lesson. Heâs still far from being the true core of the Qi family. There isnât much time left. I have to hurry to Ha City.â
After helping Qi Tianci settle the matter, Lu Benwei no longer needed to take the train.
The Qi family of Tianjin was in charge of the teleportation platform in Tianjin, so it was easy for him to go to Ha City.
âHey, grandson!â
Just as Lu Benwei was lost in his thoughts, he heard an extremely annoying voice.
âOld b*stard, what are you doing here?â
Lu Benwei turned his head and saw the old beggar. He put his hands into his pockets and squatted on the ground, whistling at him.
When he walked in, Lu Benwei found that the old beggarâs face was bruised. He had obviously been beaten up.
...
âOld man, you were beaten up again?â
