Power of Money -
Chapter 698
Capital City.
In the Polygon Pavilion.
It was built on red bricks and green tiles in the suburbs of Yanjing. It was an antique private estate.
The buildings were completely imitating the architectural style of the Redbud City, one after the other, but also a few restored buildings. The mountains were surrounded by water, and the fengshui was excellent. It gave off an air of majesty.
Similarly, this was the Kong Family's ancestral home.
Only a few core figures of the Kong Family could come in and out.
The other strangers were not allowed to get close to them and were heavily guarded.
At this point, there were only less than six days left before Rhett Ko Xin's 85th birthday.
Inside and outside the Polygon Pavilion, on top of the treetops, under the eaves, in the corridors... red lanterns and sticker paper
were hung everywhere. Without exception, there was a big character "Life" written on it.
This was the place where Rhett Ko's birthday was held. At that time, all the people in Hua Xia would come here to celebrate.
Although many people might not be able to walk through the entrance and personally congratulate Master Ko the Third, and they might not even be able to enter the main entrance, they had to do the necessary formalities. Just the chairs that were prepared for the guests outside the door, the Kong Family had arranged for less than a hundred of them. It was just enough to accommodate most of the people on the Forbes' List of China. They were only able to take seats, but they did not even have the qualifications to enter the main entrance.
In the Polygon Pavilion.
Rhett Ko had just gotten up from bed and was sipping porridge on the table of the eight immortals in the lobby, while Samar and Kong Yu were sitting beside him. Although the two of them were powerful figures, they were as obedient as primary school students in front of Rhett Ko. When Rhett Ko lowered his head and drank the porridge, they quickly grabbed a spoon and took a sip. Once Rhett Ko raised his head, he would immediately put the spoon down and sit properly, not even daring to breathe loudly.
They had lived this kind of life for more than half of their lives. So far, they did not dare to neglect it at all and still stayed the same as before.
"The porridge is getting a little too sparse..."
Rhett Ko took a sip, put down the porcelain spoon, and wiped his mouth with a silk handkerchief.
"It's getting thinner?"
Samar and Kong Buyu looked at each other, and then Samar immediately stood up and whispered to the servant beside him, "What's going on? Hurry up and give Master San a new bowl of kasaya. If you're late, don't worry about your life!"
"Yes, yes, I'll go now."
The servant didn't dare to refute or defend himself. He immediately bowed and reached out for the bowl in front of Rhett Ko.
"No, just make do with it. You can come down and have a drink."
Rhett Ko waved his hand, and his wrinkled face didn't seem to want to drink any more.
"Why are you still standing! Get out of my way!"
Samar raised his leg and kicked the servant on the back of the servant's waist. The sixty-something-year-old man was immediately kicked to the ground. Then, Samar strode over to Rhett Ko and said respectfully, "Let me go. These servants are getting more and more insensible. Leave the matter of serving porridge to me in the future. I promise I'll make it more thick for you so that you can eat enough."
As he spoke, Samar reached out his hand to grab the porcelain bowl from the table.
"Are you trying to kill me?"
Peng!
Suddenly, the expressionless Rhett Ko raised his hand and directly grabbed the bowls and chopsticks on the table. Less than ten chinawares, less than ten in the world, fell to the ground and became powder. "This..."
This was the first time that Rhett Ko had experienced such a drastic change in temperament. Terrified, he immediately bent down, lowered his head, and didn't dare to say a word.
"Every year, when I am about to celebrate my birthday, Fourth will fly back from the chemical city. He will bring me a bowl of porridge and make it for me. What's going on this year? It's 85th birthday soon, but Fourth hasn't come back yet. Instead, he hasn't called me. What's the matter? The business in the medical city is so strong that he thinks he is powerful. Does he want to clean up his bad relationship with the Kong family? Doesn't he want to care about anything?"
Master Ko San was so angry that his face turned red. He looked at the door with his muddy eyes and murmured.
"I dreamt of Fourth last night. He told me in my dream that he may not be able to come back to celebrate my birthday this year. Why? No matter how big the city is, is there anything more important than my birthday? If he doesn't come this year, we can forget about the birthday party. You are all busy with your own business. Don't worry about me, an old man. Let me die on my own!"
His words almost scared Samar out of his pants.
"Did the Rhett dream of Kongjiang last night?"
He quietly raised his eyelids and looked forward in disbelief, but when he saw Rhett Ko's angry face, he immediately lowered his head and didn't know what to say for a long time.
If others didn't know, how could he and
Kong Buyu not know what happened last night in the Thailand?
When Kong Jiangzhe was attacked, he had become a corpse.
Although he had not succeeded in stirring up a dispute between the trade and the He family for the time being, as long as Kong Jiangheng was dead, the trade group would have no leader. It would only be a matter of time before he could take down the comprehensive city, the golden den.
However, Kong Jiangwan had just died last night. How could the Rhett dream of meeting him?
Didn't he say that he couldn't come back to celebrate his birthday?
"Enjoy my dream?"
After a lifetime of bloodshed, Samar would never believe in these things. It was possible that Kong Jiangheng had not come back early to celebrate Rhett's birthday like he had in the past two days. He had been thinking about it day and night, but Rhett was not used to it. He just dreamed of it.
"Third Brother, look at how scared you are. Our Rhett is missing Fourth Brother! Fourth Brother is busy with his business in Thailand and has been delayed for a while, so he didn't have the time to come back to celebrate Rhett's birthday. Rhett is getting angry with him. Can't you see that?"
The smart man didn't speak.
After hearing the meaning of "the xenophobic" of Rhett Ko, he immediately stood up and walked to Samar. While explaining with a smile, he reached out his hand to help him up.
"This Fourth Young Master is so busy that he doesn't even have time to call the Rhett. Since he turned the Yuelong Club into a trade company named Yuelong Trading Company, he's busier day by day. What do you think he wants? He doesn't make as much money as before, but he's very busy. So I think it's better for us now. On the birthday of the Rhett, the gift sent by him from the world in advance is about a few hundred million yuan. These are not qualified to come to the birthday party. The gift of the birthday party of the Rhett can surpass the income of his Yuelong Trading Company for one year, so it's better for us to do business as freely as we do now..."
As he was talking, Rhett Ko suddenly turned his head and stared at him with his muddy eyes, which made him feel as if a thorn had been stuck in his throat. No matter how hard he tried, he could not say what he wanted to say next.
"You still don't agree with Fourth's transformation."
Rhett Ko said with a poker face.
"What does the transformation of the Yuelong Club have to do with you? Why have you been holding on to this matter and forcing number four from the universities? What on earth did he offend the two of you?"
Kong Buyu's body was also stiff. He didn't expect that this morning, the Rhett would take a bowl of porridge to attack the two people continuously.
It had not been decades.
And he talked all the time about the transformation of trade to the Dragon-Battling Caravan.
As the Third Lord's birthday was approaching, the elders of the Kong family, whom they had not seen for years, would gather together on the same day. To mention this matter at this time, was it possible that the important decision made by the Third Lord would be announced on the day of the birthday?
While he was deep in thought, Rhett Ko's tone returned to normal. "Don't make wild guesses. I may be eighty-five, but I'm not muddleheaded. You've always objected to Fourth's reform and business. You're al afraid that Fourth would make a name for himself one day and the entire Kong Family would follow his example. Fourth's position in the family would only rise. You guys, other than playing cards, drinking and looking for women to do business? I think it's more difficult than killing all of you!"
In the face of the change of Rhett Ko's temperament today, Samar was still confused, but Kong Buyu had already reacted. He smiled apologetically and said, "Rhett is right. We are all dumbheads. How can we compare with Fourth Brother, who has been in the Thailand for half of his life? Besides, we are older. We have been doing black business for a lifetime and eat bean juice every day. All of a sudden, we have to learn how to smoke cigarettes and drink coffee from those people. It's not that we can't do it, but it must be very difficult for us to accept it in a short time..."
"Then take your time to learn how to accept it!"
Rhett Ko turned around and said without looking at the two people behind him, "I'm going to test the several halls under your command and the pool under my third brother's command on the birthday party. I'll test the transformation from my fourth brother. Whoever succeeds in the transformation, I'll give it to the next master!"
