Chapter 98: The Capital’s Mo n
Two days passed in a sh since Li Yans fuss and tomorrow was the birthday celebration. Li Shili and Li Shizhong looked over the guest list with a scowl.
No one from Lin, Su, and Bai ns came?
No one.
What about the Qin n?
No one.
Ning n?
The Ning n just arrived. Many havee and Baihe is now taking them to rest.
Li Shili looked at the list then mmed it on the table.
To make this birthday celebration as proper as possible, they started ten days ago to prepare while the invitations were sent much earlier.
At Li Xuanyus 80th birthday of ten years ago, all the important ns and famous people attended. It was a grand and respectful event.
But over the years, when Li Shili took the helm, it all went downhill business plummeted, rtions soured. In Li Xuanyus time, the Li n was among the best four ns in Shenjing. Now, they were getting farther and farther away from them.
Li Shili knew their connections were shaky, so he sent the invitations much earlier while lowering the bar. All were weed as long as they came to celebrate grand-sirs birthday. This led to the endless stream of guestsing daily, although not many of them were of renown.
Not one of the great ns of Shenjing Province came.
Secretary Zhang called yesterday, saying official Yang could not attend. Out on a business trip.
Theres secretary Wang who said he had a meeting in the capital.
Mayor Lu, section chief Zhao, director Qi, they all could note.
Regarding celebrities, Lin Jing refused, as well as the Fire Dance band. Only the almost washed-up Zhang Ming agreed toe alone. She will onlye tomorrow to sing one song then leave.
Li Shizhongs voice was softer and softer.
Li Shilis face was darker and darker. If none came, what kind of respect is this?
Just then, Li Zeng ran over, Master, the second master of the Su n, Su Mingqi arrived!
Greet him, quick! Li Shilis eyes shined and hurried over.
Li Shizhong frowned. Li and Su ns had never been on good terms. Nowadays was also the case. If the two ns met, they would never greet each other.
Li Shili guided Su Mingqi to a guesthouse to rest. What disappointed Li Shili so was that he came alone.
The more that came the better it looked, and the more respect they received. One Su Mingqi was far from enough.
Shizhong, even if it costs us, get some celebrities. Regardless of how respected is grand-sir, the Li n needs to throw a big celebration. If this party goes south, we can kiss getting back among the four great ns goodbye. We might not even be able to go out in public.
Ill get on it right away.
Chuan Provinces Tang Groups son inw, Hu Dezhi arrived!
The shout caught Li Shili still frowning at the entrance.
Chuan Provinces Hu Dezhi?
Who was he?
Li Shili didnt know Hu Dezhi, but Chuan Provinces Tang Group was famous throughout the country. Tang Group enjoyed a thousand-year-long history, while all of Li ns members were still very much alive.
Hu Dezhi came with 20 more people in seven expensive cars.
Director Hu, wee! Wee! Li Shili went to greet him.
Congrattions, boss Li. I wish grand-sir a longsting life and all the happiness in the world!
Thank you, pleasee in!
Li Shili could already feel the extra face stered on him by weing Hu Dezhi.
Those seven expensive business ss cars were ced good, so good that anyone could see them.
Hu Dezhis arrival kindled hope in Li Shili. He was now standing at the door with great expectations for the important guests that were toe.
A pity that his wait from noon till evening was met with plenty of nobodies and no one of particr importance. He even faked not having seen them and didnt even greet.
Presenting capitals Mo ns head, Mo Zhendong, his brother Mo Zhennan, and children, Mo Ziyang and Mo Ziwei, arrived!
The startling shout left Li Shili shocked.
W-who?
Master, its the capitals Mo n.
That Mo n? One of the capitals top three ns, Mo n?
Yes, his entire family hase.
Li Shili ran to greet them.
Li Shili didnt know Hu Dezhi but he knew of Chuan Provinces Tang Group. Li Shili didnt know any of the capitals Mo n people but knew even more about it than of Tang Group.
The Li n was known in Shenjing, the Tang Group in Chuan Province. But Mo n was one of the three greatest ns in the capital and famous across the nation. It was a super n that affected even the world.
That was a n with boundless prestige. There were scores of people wanting to curry favor but were shot down at the gates.
Li Shili heard the entire family came and was over the moon.
Mo Zhendong was in his sixties but he was still standing strong and exuding an imposing presence and a frank demeanor. Standing within ten feet of him, his aura would overwhelm anyone in finding it hard to breathe.
His younger brother, Mo Zhennan, his son Mo Ziyang, his daughter Mo Ziwei, were all giants among men with imposing auras and lofty presences.
Wee, wee, boss Mo!
Li Shili suddenlycked confidence and didnt even dare meet his eyes. Mo Zhendongs aura was too strong.
Are you Li Shili? Mo Zhendong eyes him.
Indeed.
Mo Ziwei blinked her ck eyes, Why are you called that? Is it out of self-interest?Only allowed on
I Li Shili(T/N: lit. world interest) was lost for words.
Mo Zhendong was frank, Lead us.
Please, after you!
Li Shili brought them to the best guesthouse. Then called for the servants to make the mostvish meals for them.
I never thought the Mo n would being. Now even if other famous people donte, the ceremony wont be a disaster!
With the Mo ns people settled in, Li Shili returned to the entrance excited and grinning as he pped.
Li Shili saw someone was approaching and his mood slumped.
It was Li Mo.
You are not one of us. The Li household is not a ce for you to wander. This is the guest area and you have no right to be here. Scram!
Li Mo walked passed him as if he was air.
Little bastard, listen when youre spoken to!
Li Shili was about to strike but guests were passing by. He left with simmering rage.
