At six o'clock, Uncle Fu called and asked if Shen Xing had arrived.
Shen Xing hung up the phone and immediately went to the Wanjia Banquet Center Hotel. At this time, the number of guests at the hotel's entrance obviously increased a lot more than before, and they all entered the hotel.
I took the elevator to the fourth floor with these people. Just after getting out of the elevator, I saw several registration points set up at the door.
Shen Xing didn't know if the other party would let him in when he reported his name. At this moment, a gray-haired man came over and smiled and said, "Mr. Shen, come with me, you don't need to register."
Shen Xing glanced at the man and felt a little familiar. It should have been Uncle Fu who had seen him in Su's villa back then, but he was not very impressed.
He immediately nodded and smiled: "Thank you!"
Although there is no need to register, the delicate cloth bag he is holding still needs to be checked to prevent someone from bringing in any prohibited items.
The backpack was placed by Shen Xing in the hotel where he was staying. It would definitely be inappropriate to carry a backpack on this occasion.
Followed Uncle Fu into the No. 7 banquet hall, where at least forty revolving round dining tables were placed in this hall, and people were seated one after another at this moment.
At the innermost position in the middle of the hall, there is a small stage. At this moment, there is a speech desk, surrounded by flowers, and bright lights gather in that place. Obviously someone will be there to deliver a speech later.
Shen Xing did not see Su Renxin's figure. Uncle Fu arranged him to sit at a round table a little behind among them, and said: "The dinner will begin soon, Mr. Shen, you may have a meal here first. After the meal, President Su has time to see you. By the way, the wooden sculpture you brought, President Su, let me take it first. He has the opportunity to show it to some friends in advance."
"Okay, trouble you." Shen Xing nodded and handed the cloth bag in his hand to Uncle Fu.
Uncle Fu quickly disappeared from the crowd with the cloth bag.
At present, there are still a large number of people entering one after another, but Shen Xing noticed that some people did not stay in the hall, but walked directly into the next passage after entering.
There is a sign indicating "private room passage".
It seems that these prestigious business people are also divided into three or sixty-nine classes. The people sitting in the lobby are either ordinary customers or businessmen with a lower status. As for the big bosses or people of rank, they sit in private rooms. in.
Shen Xing didn't care where he was sitting. The purpose of his visit this time was to find out the relationship between Lu Yuan and the chairman of the Ningzhou Chamber of Commerce, Wang Zhendong, which is higher in the Yeyin organization.
According to Zhou Dao, the chairman of the Ningzhou Chamber of Commerce, Wang Zhendong, is already an object closely controlled by the special team. The specific information should be clearer than that of the chairman of the Kwazhou Chamber of Commerce, Lu Yuan. The level in the organization.
If you understand the relationship between Wang Zhendong and Lu Yuan, you can figure out Lu Yuan's position in the night hidden organization, and it will be more convenient for the special team to catch them all at once.
After sitting here for a while, many businessmen were walking around between the tables. Shen Xing also received a business card from a few people. He just accepted it and said something politely.
I didn't bring a business card. When other people heard that he was a woodcarver, they thought that his woodcarving business must be very large. There are more than a dozen assembly line processing plants, and the one with a daily shipment of tens of thousands or tens of thousands.
After learning that he was really only doing woodcarving, gradually there were no people around Shen Xing.
At seven o'clock, the dinner officially began.
An unknown male host took the microphone and walked onto the innermost stage where the lights converged, followed by a passionate opening speech.
The general idea is to welcome business people from all states to participate in this spring banquet held in Ningzhou. This sacrificial activity will begin tomorrow, but it is only open to some people.
And tonight’s banquet serves as a preparatory banquet, which will provide a platform for business people from all walks of life to exchange experiences. The event will be held during the banquet while giving speeches and discussions on stage.
In other words, for the people in this hall, eating is not the purpose, the purpose is to make friends and promote their business on the stage.
For these Shen Xing did not take it to heart, but the person who came to the stage after the host made his eyes light up slightly. It was a man in his 50s but with a handful of goatee.
Wearing an off-white suit, the man first greeted the guests who came to the banquet, and then introduced the process of this spring banquet and the participants.
As for the appearance of this man, Shen Xing has already found out on the Internet that it is Wang Zhendong, the chairman of the Ningzhou Chamber of Commerce.
Wang Zhendong looks strong and strong, with a straight waist and faint muscle bulges under his clothes. This should be the reason why he has been working out all year round.
After speaking, he stepped off the stage and greeted several guests he knew well, and then walked in the direction of the private room.
At 8:10 in the evening, instead of coming to an end, the banquet in the hall did not come to an end. On the contrary, the guests at the tables moved more frequently and became more and more lively. Shen Xing had a bit of food, but he couldn't bear this kind of communication. He stood up and prepared to find someone. Go to the private room to take a look.
At this moment, Uncle Fu came over and said, "Are you going to the bathroom? Mr. Su asked me to call you over."
Shen Xing shook his head: "Sitting for a long time, I just got up and stood up. Well, let's go."
Under the guidance of Uncle Fu, the two of them walked towards the private room. After entering the corridor, they came to a private room called "Wanjia Happy Happy". After Uncle Fu knocked on the door, he pushed in.
Shen Xing followed him in.
This is an extremely luxurious and spacious private room. Twenty guests can be seated around the round table inside. The dishes on it are slowly rotating with the round table, and most of the dishes have not been moved.
Six or seven people were not sitting at the round table at the moment, but standing in front of the leather sofa and marble coffee table on the other side. One of them was holding a wooden sculpture of Shen Xing's mask, putting it on his face, and letting out a hearty laugh.
Several others were observing the direction of the texture of the big tree carving.
"How about? My friend's work is okay, right?" Su Renxin's voice sounded and smiled while sitting on the sofa.
After seeing Shen Xing coming in, he beckoned to him, and then said to the others: "Here, he is here, you can ask if you have any questions now."
As soon as this was said, almost half of the people's eyes turned to Shen Xing, including the people sitting at the dining table over there. Although these people have not seen the wood carvings now, it does not rule out that they may have seen them just now.
Shen Xing glanced naturally and saw Wang Zhendong, chairman of the Ningzhou Chamber of Commerce, sitting at the dining table, talking about something with a person sitting beside him, but Lu Yuan was not seen in the room.
Perhaps Lu Yuan was not in this private room.
Walking to the coffee table, Su Renxin first introduced Shen Xing to these people who were watching the wood carvings.
The man who was still trying on the mask just now said with a smile: "Little brother, your mask is interesting. I didn't realize it after a glance. The more I look at it, the more it looks similar to my dead wife. I don't know if it is an illusion."
Hearing his words, Shen Xing's expression became weird, thinking of Zhuo Datong who lived in Beifeng Town and his dead wife Jiang Guirong.
"It's nothing. Everyone who looks at this mask will see people they are familiar with in it." Shen Xing put away his strange expression and answered seriously.
"Is it so magical? Show me." Another big boss took the mask over and examined it carefully.
The others at the dining table also looked over curiously after hearing Shen Xing's words.
"Have you been full just now?" Su Renxin asked Shen Xing.
"I'm full, thank you Mr. Su for your hospitality." Shen Xing smiled and nodded.
"It's okay. After midnight, we will have a ceremonial ceremony. If you have nothing else, you can wait here. They..." Then, Su Renxin pointed to several friends present, "All Be prepared to pre-order your work, you will get tired in a few days."
"It's my honour." Shen Xing replied, casting a friendly look at the others.
After a pause, he asked softly: "Doesn't it mean that there are festivals in heaven?"
At this time Su Renxin hadn't answered yet, a voice rang behind Shen Xing, "After zero o'clock, isn't it tomorrow?"
Shen Xing turned his head to look and saw that Wang Zhendong was just coming. This guy had a big cigar in his mouth and smiled. At close range, he could feel that he was full of breath, and his blood was very strong.
"This is the chairman of the Ningzhou Chamber of Commerce, Wang Zhendong." Su Renxin introduced immediately.
He and Wang Zhendong are very familiar, but Lu Yuan, who has recently become the chairman of the Kwazhou Chamber of Commerce, has just met, and his friendship with Wang Zhendong is not as good.
"Hello." Shen Xing pretended not to recognize him, and nodded to Wang Zhendong.
He didn't stretch out his hand to shake hands with the other party, because he didn't plan to do it because of Wang Zhendong's appearance, so he didn't have to be boring.
In the past, when someone saw Wang Zhendong for the first time, he had long been oppressed by his aura, at least he was inferior in status and became somewhat conscientious, but this did not happen here in Shen Xing.
This made Wang Zhendong a little bit confused, but he couldn't see anything on the surface, and said, "You did this wood carving? Well, it's very good, and the craftsmanship is very good."
It can be seen that this guy does not have the slightest appreciation, but he does not pretend to be profound, but speaks bluntly, giving people a very straightforward feeling.
"Thank you." Shen Xing said politely, and then asked: "The usual ceremonies for the opening of spring worship are not always at noon, and are they in open places?"
Wang Zhendong did not answer, but Su Renxin said: "The habits here have always been different."
Wang Zhendong spit out a smoke ring and replied: "It should be that the objects of our sacrifices are different. There are no restrictions on time and place, even in the hotel."
Shen Xing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of the thing that he saw at the entrance of the hotel that was covered by a black curtain on a red sandalwood shelf.
"It's impossible that the object of their sacrifice was the abnormality?" Thinking of this, he gave an imperceptible smile, "If this is the case, then it would be interesting."
"What anomaly, can this group of businessmen get rich and lucky?"
It seemed that Wang Zhendong didn't want to elaborate. After a few chattering words, everyone focused on the wood carving.
Soon someone discovered that the mask did look more and more similar to people they knew, and the big tree sculpture gave a faint illusion that it seemed to be growing.
Shen Xing gave an unhurried introduction while paying attention to Wang Zhendong's movements.
Su Renxin saw his wood carvings so popular, and couldn't help but feel a little happy and proud. At least, Shen Xing's works were introduced by him.
Not long after, the door of the room was opened, and the person who opened the door outside did not come in. Wang Zhendong looked back and immediately pressed the unfinished cigar in the ashtray, gave a confession to the person next to him, and turned and walked towards the door. .
When passing by the dining table, at this time a hotel waitress in charge of the room leaned slightly towards him, smiled, her eyes tilted up, and she peeped at Wang Zhendong.
A wicked look suddenly appeared in Wang Zhendong's eyes, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he glanced at the graceful young woman in a tight black uniform, opened the door and walked out.
And this woman kept secretly watching him leave the room, and then went to shut the door of the room, and returned to continue to serve others.
"Where is the bathroom?" Shen Xing walked over at this moment and asked the waitress.
The waitress pointed to the corner of the room, her eyes returned to normal, and she replied, "There is one there, sir."
Shen Xing pointed to the bathroom door: "There are already people inside."
"Oh, good." The waitress turned and opened the door immediately.
Shen Xing followed out and saw Wang Zhendong turning around at the end of the corridor at a glance.
The waitress also pointed in that direction and said, "It's in the middle of the corridor, you can see it when you walk over."
"Okay thank you."
Shen Xing nodded, walked a few steps forward, and turned to see that the waitress had returned to the room and closed the door. He immediately speeded up and headed towards the end of the corridor.
Soon I came to the corner of the corridor, and when I took a look, I found that there was a shorter corridor here, with two rooms at the end. The door of the room was closed and no one could be seen.
Immediately after walking slowly, Shen Xing stopped abruptly when he was about to approach the two rooms about two meters away.
A strong feeling came, and he intuitively felt that he couldn't go any further, otherwise he would be easily spotted and even dangerous.
Putting his body on the wall, holding his breath, the slaughter body's strength was maximized, and his ears were immediately clear. A faint voice came from the closed room door on the left side of the corridor. Although it was small, there was no other movement around at the moment. , So Shen Xing's ears that have been strengthened by the body can hear clearly.
"The clue on the side of the White Tower has been broken, and it was suddenly destroyed. Our wire person has sent news from there." This is Wang Zhendong's voice.
Another familiar voice sounded from Lu Yuan: "Since it is disconnected, don't waste energy and time. Has the Public Security Bureau received that call?"
Wang Zhendong seemed to shook his head: "No, I kept people staring at the public security department in the central city of Ningzhou, but I didn't receive what you said to report the case. It was on the Baita side some time ago, but it has disappeared now. Up."
Lu Yuan's voice didn't answer for a long time, and it took a while before he spoke: "Remember, if there is that call in the public security department, immediately evacuate all our members in the city, and leave none."
After a pause, he said: "On the side of the White Tower, it may be that the clues to the White Tower Building were broken and affected it, so there is no more serious consequence of the outbreak."
After listening to the conversation between these two people, some of the subsequent words were too small to hear, but Shen Xing was already shocked in a cold sweat at the moment.
He faintly felt that the phone call between the two people was very familiar to him, and this phone call was actually related to the White Tower Building!
Do they still know what happened in the White Tower Building? And why are there so many anomalies
"Don't say anything else." Lu Yuan's voice came faintly, "Anyway, don't miss it... I am offering you sacrifices, not to satisfy your... desire..."
After a while, he didn't hear Wang Zhendong's answer. It seems that he didn't dare to speak back.
"Lu Yuan's level is higher?" Shen Xing was taken aback.
At the same time, he suddenly clearly felt an anomaly nearby.
This anomaly gave Shen Xing the feeling that it was at least 70% to 80% similar to the anomalous aura placed on a red sandalwood shelf at the entrance of the hotel. (End of this chapter)
