Chapter 1 Two Days Later, St. Paul's

Two days later, St. Paul's.

A plane from Bana City slowly descended towards the runway.

The headquarters of the Chinese Labor Association is located in St. Paul's, and they have a close relationship with the local government. Here, many streets are lined with shops opened by Chinese people, indicating that there is indeed in-depth cooperation in many fields.

The plane door opened, and a row of black business cars drove in from the VIP通道 (VIP passage) and stopped in front of the plane.

Wang Xiao jumped out of the car. Seeing Su Tianyu and the others walking down, he greeted them with a smile: "Director Su, Director An, welcome, welcome!"

"Haha, we're here to cause you trouble."

"Not at all!"

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Su Tianyu and An Qiqi sat in the middle row of the business car.

After getting in the car, An Qiqi sat next to Su Tianyu, glanced at the information she received on her phone, and then turned to Su Tianyu and said, "This Wu Boxin is quite active."

"What's wrong?"

"For this celebration banquet, he invited many influential political and business figures from the Second and Third Districts to support him. The Chinese Labor Association also sent a lot of people this time. Many high-level executives have arrived, making it a big scene."

Su Tianyu was silent.

Yu Mingyuan happened to get in the car and heard their conversation. He sat in the back seat, frowning and said, "Could it be that the negotiations are already over, and they only called us here now?"

"Definitely," Su Tianyu said, crossing his legs. "They wouldn't hold a celebration banquet if they hadn't arranged things well for Old Wu."

Lu Feng, Liu Hongxu, Zhou Tonghui, Hou Guoyu, Lao Hei, and Gu Baishun from the dockworkers' association all got into other business cars, a group of twenty or thirty people, making for quite a spectacle.

The convoy slowly started and drove towards the hotel.

Su Tianyu looked at Yu Mingyuan and asked in a low voice, "Who from the Zhou family came?"

"Tonghui's two uncles came. I guess they've already arrived at the hotel." Yu Mingyuan said, glancing at the driver in front, his face gloomy, and also said in a low voice, "The Chinese Labor Association's actions are disgusting. Everyone is angry."

"Don't worry." Su Tianyu said expressionlessly, "Let's see first... whether it's the Chinese Labor Association or someone else who wants to control this United Association."

More than ten minutes later, the car slowly stopped in front of the largest hotel in St. Paul's.

Two beautifully dressed etiquette ladies stood at the hotel entrance, giving the VIPs a welcoming smile.

Su Tianyu and the others walked into the hotel. Many people from the Chinese Labor Association, dressed in suits and ties, were busy preparing for the celebration banquet tonight. He carefully observed and found that the employees here were also Chinese, indicating that the hotel should also be owned by the Chinese Labor Association.

Following Wang Xiao, they took the elevator to the third-floor lobby of the hotel.

As the two etiquette ladies opened the door to the lobby, a festive banquet scene was immediately presented to everyone. The venue was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and several banners were hung haphazardly, with slogans such as "United Association, First Meeting" written on them.

From near to far, round dining tables were arranged. In addition to liquor and cigarettes, each table also had nameplates for everyone. Many people were already seated, chatting in small groups.

Huo Dongsheng and Wu Boxin were clearly the core figures this time, surrounded by many people, chatting happily.

"Director Su, your seats are at the main table, which is the innermost one." Wang Xiao said, pointing to the innermost part of the banquet.

Inside, Huo Dongsheng, who was happily chatting with Wu Boxin and others, immediately got up to greet Su Tianyu and the others when he saw them coming in.

More than a dozen high-level executives from the Chinese Labor Association also got up one after another, following behind Huo Dongsheng to greet them. Many of them were old acquaintances, Wang An, Huang Peishan, and several team leaders who went to Man City to carry out the mission were all present.

"Director Su, you're a promising young man!" Huo Dongsheng said with a smile, taking Su Tianyu's hand first. "I've wanted to meet you for a long time, but I never had the opportunity."

Su Tianyu smiled faintly: "Haha, you flatter me. I'm just busy all day, always starting things and not finishing them, and getting scolded by my leaders."

These words were obviously barbed, but Huo Dongsheng remained unfazed, reaching out and patting Su Tianyu on the shoulder, saying sincerely, "Old Huang told me about the operation in Man City. I'll definitely have a good drink with you later to express my gratitude."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Boxin stepped forward and said, "This must be Director Su, I've heard so much about you! You guys saved my life!"

Su Tianyu turned his head to look at him and said with a light smile, "Hello, Chairman Wu. I was planning to welcome you and wash away the dust in Bana City, but I didn't expect, haha, I waited for several days before finally seeing your true face..."

After exchanging greetings, Huo Dongsheng turned to look at An Qiqi: "Oh, this girl must be Qiqi? The head of An's intelligence, a woman who is not inferior to men! I met your father twice in the First District. How is his health...?!"

An Qiqi shook hands with him gently: "Thank you for your concern, Chairman Huo. My father is doing well."

Next to them, several middle-aged men whom Wu Boxin had invited also got up, looking at the endless stream of guests entering the door.

"Old Xu! Haha, long time no see. I didn't expect to run into you here."

"Zhou Zhengkang! You came too? I really wanted to give you a call before I got on the plane. With the relationship of the Tongji Association, I guessed you'd come."

"……!"

At the entrance of the venue, a large group of people gathered together to exchange greetings, and Huo Dongsheng was even more smiling, able to chat with everyone. He had an excellent memory. As long as he had met someone or seen a photo of them before, he could immediately call out their name.

While everyone was exchanging greetings, at the edge of the crowd, Wang Xiao whispered to Huang Peishan, "Aren't you going over to say hello?"

Huang Peishan turned to look at him: "Didn't you see that Su Tianyu's words were barbed? What would I gain by going up there and getting bad luck?"

"Making a scene at this kind of occasion is always better than not knowing what to say when the meeting starts tomorrow, right?" Wang Xiao scratched his nose and said, "To be honest, this matter was indeed not done in a very proper way..."

"You mean this? In Bana City, wasn't Su Tianyu also not very particular about his manners?"

"These are two different things, right?" Wang Xiao said softly, "I think it's not good to be too stiff on the surface... After all, we still have to sit down and talk later. If you don't go, I'll go toast a glass of wine later."

Wang Xiao's personality is the straightforward type. This can be seen from his last hard confrontation with Su Tianyu.

Huang Peishan hesitated for a moment, then immediately stepped forward, came to Su Tianyu's side, and said in a low voice, "Director Su, to be honest, when I see you, I feel..."

"Haha, Chairman Huang, your phone is always running out of battery, which is really delaying things." Su Tianyu grinned and shook hands with him.

"Hehe."

Huang Peishan smiled awkwardly, his chubby little hands slightly out of place.

……

Downstairs at the hotel, an off-road vehicle stopped at the main entrance.

The car door opened, and a man with bandages wrapped around his face pushed the car door open and walked down. He carried a large box, followed by several people, standing in front of the door, looking up at the third floor of the hotel.
