Two days later, Santa Paula.
An airplane from Bana City slowly slid down the runway.
The headquarters of the Chinese Workers' Union is located in the city of Santa Pau, and they have a close relationship with the local government. Here, many streets can see Chinese-owned shops, which shows that the two sides do have in-depth cooperation in many fields.
The plane door opened, and a row of black business cars drove in from the VIP channel and stopped in front of the plane.
Wang Xiao jumped out of the car. Seeing Su Tianyu and the others coming down, he greeted them with a smile: "Director Su, Director An, welcome, welcome!"
"Haha, we're here to trouble you."
"What are you talking about!"
The two sides exchanged a few brief greetings, and then Su Tianyu and An Qiqi sat in the middle row of the business car together.
After getting in the car, An Qiqi sat next to Su Tianyu, glanced at the message on her phone, then turned to Su Tianyu and said, "This Wu Boxin is quite active."
"What's wrong?"
"At the celebration party, he called many influential politicians and businessmen from Districts 2 and 3 to come and support him. There was also the Chinese Workers' Union, which also sent many people this time. Many senior executives were there, and the scene was quite grand."
Su Tianyu was silent.
Yu Mingyuan happened to get on the car and heard the conversation between the two. He sat in the back seat and frowned as he said, "Maybe they have finished what they need to talk about, so they called us here."
"Of course." Su Tianyu crossed his legs and said, "They won't hold a celebration party without making arrangements for Old Wu."
Lu Feng, Liu Hongxu, Zhou Tonghui, Hou Guoyu, Lao Hei, and Gu Baishun from the Coders Association all got on other business vehicles. There were about 20 to 30 people in total, making it quite a large formation.
The convoy started slowly and drove towards the hotel.
Su Tianyu looked at Yu Mingyuan and asked in a low voice, "Who from the Zhou family is here?"
"Uncle Tonghui is here. They are probably already at the hotel." Yu Mingyuan said, glancing at the driver in front with a gloomy expression. He also whispered, "The Chinese Workers' Union did something so disgusting. Everyone is angry."
"No hurry." Su Tianyu said expressionlessly: "Let's see first... Is it the Chinese Workers' Union who wants to run the United Association, or someone else?"
More than ten minutes later, the car slowly stopped downstairs of the largest hotel in São Paulo.
Two beautifully dressed hostesses stood at the entrance of the hotel, smiling welcomingly at the distinguished guests.
Su Tianyu and his friends walked into the hotel. Many members of the Chinese Workers' Union were dressed in suits and busy preparing for tonight's celebration party. He observed carefully and found that all the employees here were Chinese. It seemed that the hotel should also be owned by the Chinese Workers' Union.
Following Wang Xiao, they took the elevator to the third-floor lobby of the hotel.
As the two hostesses pushed open the door of the lobby, a festive banquet scene immediately appeared in front of everyone. The venue was decorated with lights and there were several banners hanging in all directions, with slogans such as "United Association" and "First Meeting" written on them.
From far to near, round dining tables were arranged one after another. On each table, in addition to liquor and cigarettes, there were also nameplates of everyone. Many people had already taken their seats and were chatting in groups of three or five.
Huo Dongsheng and Wu Boxin were obviously the core of this event. There were many people around them and they were having a pleasant conversation.
"Director Su, your seats are all at the main table, the innermost one." Wang Xiao said, pointing to the innermost table of the banquet.
On the inside, Huo Dongsheng, who was happily communicating with Wu Boxin and others, saw Su Tianyu and others coming in and immediately stood up to greet them.
More than a dozen senior members of the Chinese Workers' Union also stood up and followed Huo Dongsheng to greet them. Many of them were old acquaintances, including Wang An, Huang Peishan, and several team leaders who were going to Manchester City to carry out the mission.
"Director Su, you are young and promising!" Huo Dongsheng smiled and took the lead in shaking Su Tianyu's hand: "I have wanted to meet you for a long time, but I never had the chance."
Su Tianyu smiled faintly: "Haha, you're flattering me. I've been busy all day, doing things half-heartedly, and getting scolded by my boss."
These words were obviously thorny, but Huo Dongsheng remained calm. He patted Su Tianyu on the shoulder and said sincerely, "Old Huang told me about Manchester City's actions. I will definitely have a couple of drinks later to show my gratitude."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Boxin also walked over: "This must be Director Su, I've heard a lot about you! You guys saved my life!"
Su Tianyu turned his head to look at him, chuckled and said, "Hello, President Wu. I wanted to welcome you in Bana City, but I didn't expect that, haha, I have to wait for several days to see your true face..."
After the two sides exchanged greetings, Huo Dongsheng turned around and looked at An Qiqi: "Hey, this girl must be Qiqi, right? The head of the An Department's military intelligence, a woman is as good as a man! Your father and I met twice when we were in District 1. How is his health... ?!"
An Qiqi shook hands with him gently: "Thank you, President Huo, for your concern. My father is in good health."
Next to them, several middle-aged men called by Wu Boxin also stood up when they saw the guests coming in one after another.
"Old Xu! Haha, long time no see. I didn't expect to run into you here."
"Zhou Zhengkang! You're here too? I really wanted to call you before I got on the plane. Since you have the relationship with the Kiwanis Club, I guess you have to come."
“…!”
At the entrance of the venue, a large group of people gathered together to greet each other, and Huo Dongsheng was smiling and chatting with everyone. He had an excellent memory, and he could immediately call out the name of anyone he had met before or had seen a photo of before.
While everyone was greeting each other, Wang Xiao whispered to Huang Peishan at the edge of the crowd, "Why don't you go over and say hello?"
Huang Peishan turned his head and looked at the other party: "Didn't you see that Su Tianyu was speaking with a sarcastic tone? Why would I go up to him and offend him?"
"It's better to smooth things over tonight than to not know what to say at the meeting tomorrow, right?" Wang Xiao lowered his head and scratched his nose: "To be honest, this is really not a very decent thing to do..."
"What are you talking about? Didn't Su Tianyu also not pay attention to his eating manners during the time in Bana City?"
"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 have to sit down and talk about things later. If you want to go, I'll go and toast you with a glass of wine later."
Wang Xiao has a more straightforward personality, which can be seen from the last time he confronted Su Tianyu.
Huang Peishan hesitated for a moment, then immediately stepped forward to Su Tianyu's side and said in a low voice, "Director Su, to be honest, when I saw you, my heart...!"
"Haha, President Huang, your phone is always out of battery, which is really a waste of time." Su Tianyu grinned and shook hands with him.
"hehe."
Huang Peishan smiled awkwardly, feeling a little unsure about where to put his chubby little hands.
…
Downstairs in the hotel, an SUV was parked at the main entrance.
The car door opened, and a man with a bandage on his face walked out. He was carrying a large box, followed by several people, standing in front of the door, looking up at the third floor of the hotel.
