427 When the guests came, they all prepared generous gifts.
"The shopkeeper Zhao from Dahe Silk Shop is sending thirty pieces of silk to congratulate Boss Chen on his bright future..."
"The owner of Huicui Jinlou is sending a golden Buddha statue to congratulate Boss Chen on his promising future..."
"Yihonglou, Miss Hongyan, I send you a pair of coral trees to congratulate Boss Chen on spreading his wings..."
…
Chen Heng and Chen Wang were standing outside. When someone came, they called out their name loudly, and then Bai Mosheng recorded the gift account in his beautiful thin gold calligraphy.
At one time, all the responsible figures in Mianshui County came with valuable gifts. If these gifts were exchanged for gold and silver, not only would the cost of this ceremony be recovered, but Chen Jie could also make a profit.
After the guests entered, Si Xi and a group of clever disciples were responsible for arranging seats.
The more famous ones, such as Qiao Hongyan, were sitting in the first row, and everyone else had already taken their seats.
At this time, the best local opera troupe had been invited to perform on the stage. The play they were performing was "The Six Kingdoms' Enthronement Ceremony of Prime Ministers". Those who are familiar with opera know the importance of this play.
Anyway, the whole process is orderly and the greatest respect is given to those who join.
At this time, behind this venue, there are several large houses, which have been bought back by the White Tiger Hall and used as a temporary rest area.
Chen Jie rested here early in the morning.
At this time, Chen Jie was discussing with Zhao Ya the reforms he had made in the fishing gang in the past few days. Zhao Ya was like a primary school student, madly absorbing some of the knowledge that Chen Jie said.
Just like that, the time came to eleven o'clock in the afternoon.
At this time Cui Ju rushed over, and when she saw Chen Jie, she bowed respectfully and said, "Master, the lady said that the auspicious time is coming soon, you should go and change your clothes."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Zhao Ya and said, "Princess, do you want to join us for some fun?"
Zhao Ya said: "It's not appropriate for me to show up at this scene. I'll just wait for you here."
Chen Jie said, "Okay, Cuiju, bring the food here in a while."
Aster nodded and said, "Yes, sir."
Chen Jie nodded and left. Then he came to another room, where he saw Su Yunjin anxiously waiting for him. Ruirui was finally happy, holding a big chicken leg in his hand and eating happily. Sun Yong followed him, fearing that the little guy would get carried away and ruin the ceremony.
Chen Jie smiled and said, "Rui Rui, did you enjoy your meal?"
Upon hearing this, Ruirui immediately ran over and saluted, saying like a little adult: "Congratulations, brother-in-law, you have been promoted to gang leader."
Chen Jie was amused by her behavior, scratched her nose and said, "Do you want something again, but your sister won't give it to you?"
Ruirui said: "Brother-in-law, I, I want to go out and watch the show!"
It turned out that she was attracted by the sound of drama outside. The children were very lively, but Su Yunjin was afraid that Ruirui would cause trouble for Chen Jie in this occasion, so she didn't let him go.
After hearing this, Chen Jie thought for a moment and said, "You can watch the show, but you are not allowed to run around, understand?"
"Uh-huh."
Ruirui nodded desperately. Chen Jie looked at Sun Yong and said, "Take Ruirui to find Master Hua and ask her to watch him so that he doesn't run around and just watch the show. Got it?"
Chen Jie was also afraid of accidents. Although the venue had been surrounded by the White Tiger Hall, he was still worried about problems. However, there would be no problem if Hua Sanniang was watching.
Sun Yong heard this and said, "Yes, foster father."
After saying that, Sun Yong took Ruirui away directly. At this time, Su Yunjin came over and said, "Just spoil her."
Chen Jie smiled and said, "If Ruirui likes it, let's go and have a look."
Su Yunjin waved his hand at this time, and Yin Hongmei brought a tray with a black coat on it. When she opened it, she saw that the fabric was silk with dark patterns shown with gold thread. It looked majestic and handsome.
It took Su Yunjin seven days to find a tailor to make this one piece of clothing.
The fabric is the finest cloud silk, and then there is gold thread. Not to mention anything else, the gold thread alone took twenty taels of gold to make.
So the cost of this piece of clothing is quite exaggerated.
Cui Ju came over to help Chen Jie take off his coat, and Su Yunjin came over to help her husband put on his clothes, helped Chen Jie fix his collar, and said with satisfaction: "Well, it's done."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie hugged his wife and said, "My wife, I'm leaving now."
Su Yunjin said: "Well, my husband, I will wait for you..."
Seeing this, Chen Jie pulled Su Yunjin over and kissed her on the mouth.
Su Yunjin glared at Chen Jie in reproach, but after thinking about it, she kissed Chen Jie on the cheek. On such an important day for her husband, she also wanted to give her blessings.
Chen Jie smiled and said, "Well, I'll go."
Su Yunjin said: "Well, husband, come on!"
Chen Jie was stunned. He didn't expect that his wife had learned this word. He liked to use some new words, and the people around him also learned a lot of them. As someone who was close to him, Su Yunjin naturally knew it too.
Chen Jie said: "Well, come on."
Chen Jie turned around and prepared to go to the front desk.
At this time in the South City, under a sycamore tree, Huang Wan'er touched her belly, her eyes looking towards the West City.
Du Juan said, "Madam, since you are so concerned about Master Chen's ceremony, why don't you go and see it yourself?"
Huang Wan'er shook her head and said, "No, there is a high probability that Nan Batian will cause trouble today, and I will definitely become a burden to Chen Lang. Besides..."
Huang Wan'er was silent for a long time and said, "It's enough for him to have Su Yunjin accompany him. I think at this moment, he would like her to accompany him more."
Du Juan paused after hearing this, and said after a long while: "Madam, if you tell Master Chen, he will definitely take you with him."
Huang Wan'er turned her head and looked at Du Juan and said, "No need for that. I don't want to compete with anyone for favor, and I have never thought about competing with anyone for favor!"
Du Juan was silent for a long time and then said, "Madam, you have changed so much..."
In the past, Huang Wan'er would never say anything like vying for favor, but now she... seems like a normal woman!
Pah pah pah…
A burst of firecrackers sounded and spread to the courtyard. Huang Wan'er asked, "Has it started?"
…
At noon, at half past eleven, a burst of firecrackers rang out.
At this time, the guests were basically in place, and those who had not arrived did not wait any longer. Amid the sound of firecrackers, Si Xi came on stage. Today he had a special identity, that is, the host of this ceremony.
Si Xi came up to the stage, bowed to the people around him, and then said: "Dear guests, the elders and young people of Mianshui County, the bosses, the adults, Si Xi greets you on behalf of the fishing gang."
"Today is a big day for our fishing gang. We are welcoming the inauguration ceremony of our twelfth gang leader, Chen Jiusi, Master Chen."
"Thank you very much for coming. On behalf of the brothers of the fishing gang, I would like to thank you all."
Si Xi bowed again, very humbly, and then stood up and said, "Okay, enough small talk, let's invite our new leader of the fishing gang, Leader Chen, to meet everyone."
After hearing this, Chen Jie walked slowly towards the stairs not far away.
At this time, at the main table, Old Monster Liu laughed and said, "This young man is just good at making a fuss. When I was the gang leader, I just set up a few tables and had a big drink. Compared with Jiu Si, it always feels shabby."
After hearing this, the pretty girl beside him said, "Boss Liu is low-key, unlike him, who is high-profile."
Old Monster Liu said, "No, no, Miss Hongyan, it's better to be high-profile. Look at what Jiu Si has done, it's so lively. I'm afraid no one will be able to surpass this for some time to come."
After hearing this, the pretty girl also looked towards the stage with an expression of admiration on her face.
Not to mention that Chen Jie's set of etiquette is indeed unique and eye-opening. I don't know what's wrong with Chen Jiusi's brain. He always has some new ideas for everything he does.
Several people were chatting.
At this time, backstage, Zhao Ya was also watching the ceremony from the side and found it very interesting. It was the first time she had seen such a format.
While everyone was thinking about this, Chen Jie had already walked up from the stage.
When everyone looked at him, they couldn't help but exclaim that Chen Jiusi looked so handsome today.
He was wearing a black robe with a golden-eyed water-avoiding beast embroidered on it with gold thread. Under the sunlight, Chen Jie's aura was even more powerful.
In addition, Chen Jie is at the age of a flower, with a handsome face, which makes him much more handsome than those young handsome guys in later generations.
Many guests couldn't help but sigh at how stunning Chen Jiusi was.
The leader of the Cao Gang at the age of 19 is something that has never happened in Mianshui County since ancient times. As the saying goes, heroes emerge from youth, but this one is too rare!
The pretty lady looked at Old Monster Liu and asked, "Boss Liu, how old were you when you became the boss?"
Old Monster Liu said in a trance: "Thirty-six!"
The pretty girl said, "He is only nineteen!"
Yes, he is only nineteen. He has achieved so much at the age of nineteen. His future is limitless!
Some people even thought that this small Mianshui County might not be able to accommodate this real dragon.
As everyone was thinking, Chen Jie had already come up to the stage, circulated his inner strength and said, "Dear friends, sirs, Chen Jiusi is here to pay his respects."
Chen Jie clasped his fists on the stage, and the people below also clasped their fists in a friendly manner and said, "Boss Chen, you are polite."
At this time, Chen Jie continued: "Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend Chen's inauguration ceremony as the leader of the gang."
"My fishing gang is a gang with a history of hundreds of years. A hundred years ago, Zhao Da, a fisherman on the bank of the Mianshui River, united ten fishermen to resist the bullying of local bullies. This was the beginning of my fishing gang. At that time, the entire fishing gang had less than five boats..."
He went on stage and spoke in clichés. As the leader of a large group managing two to three thousand people, how could he not have good official language skills?
Chen Jie is now managing the fishing gang using the same corporate management system he used in his previous life.
This method is still very advanced.
As Chen Jie was speaking, he suddenly heard a scream at the entrance of the square. With a bang, a member of the fishing gang was thrown in and hit hard on a table.
With a snap, the whole table broke into pieces and the little brother curled up in pain.
Um!
Startled by this sudden scene, everyone looked towards the door. Xiaohu and Zhou Chu were leading people to rush over there. Chen Jie squinted his eyes and saw someone at the door shouting arrogantly: "Hahaha... Chen Jiusi, you are so grand, how come you dare to call yourself the leader when I'm not here?"
Hearing the sound, everyone looked towards the door.
Then, Nan Batian led a group of men in black into the banquet hall. The younger brothers who had been blocking the door were all thrown out. The group of men in black were holding swords and knives and it was obvious that they had no intention of resolving the matter peacefully.
Chen Jie narrowed his eyes.
Xiaohu and Zhou Chu were ready to stop them, but at this moment Chen Jie said, "Xiaohu, Zhou Chu!"
The two of them stopped immediately. Chen Jie squinted his eyes and looked at Nan Batian, then a smile appeared on his face and he said, "Isn't this Gang Leader Nan?"
"I was wondering if I was missing something as the leader. It turns out that I was missing the blessing from the old leader. Very good. Since Boss Nan has shown me favor, we have to accept it. Someone bring a chair to Boss Nan. Let's have the feast before we leave!"
