“What a grand parade!”
Qian Wensi sat in the hall and leisurely drank his tea. “There are more experts in this area than even one of the f*cking sects!”
“Yeah, so what exactly does the Wei family want to do?”
“Who knows? We’ll see when the time comes.”
“In any case, it’s surely not a child’s play.”
“Right, look at how flustered the government is. They’re very afraid that something will happen.”
“Haha, we’re also afraid. We’re all business partners. If all six of these big families are gone, our business will instantly collapse.”
“Fine, we’ll stand here today.”
Qian Wensi was slightly curious as he fiddled with the teacup in front of him. “But this matter is also strange.”
“It’s true that the Wei family is taking the lead.”
“Including the captain’s family, there are six families in total. The six families control 80% of the clothing trade in Xufu Town.”
“But what about the remaining twenty families? What about them?”
The leader of Lian Wu said casually, “Them? Hehe, they are not qualified to come here.”
“You want to eat with them?”
“When we went to the commandant’s office, weren’t you annoyed by the Qi family and other small families?”
The leaders understood.
Annoyed!
Why weren’t they annoyed?
“Look, there are spies from these small families outside the crowd.”
“Those who can enter the Lantern and Flower Tower at this time are all first-class clans in our Xufu Town.”
“Hehe.”
“This isn’t a small gathering at all. This is a big business meeting.”
The leaders of the Twelve Chain Docks had very sharp eyes.
They could see the gazes of people in the crowd that were looking and yearning.
Of course, there were also people from the Qi family.
Their eyes were anxious and uncomfortable.
They told the public that they were from a big family, and they were all heaven-defying clans.
But it was useless!
The leader of the meeting didn’t want to deal with them.
Eh…
Are they angry?
Angry?
It was useless even if they were angry. They just weren’t qualified.
Now, as long as they weren’t from the six big families, even if they were from the government office, only the county magistrate and the advisor’s family could come in and have tea.
There was no need to think about anything else.
“Has it already evolved into this?”
“I didn’t expect the situation to change like this in just a day.” Qian Wensi sighed.
The third master of the Twelve Chain Docks at the side was calm. “There must be a mastermind behind this. Otherwise, why would the government be so nervous?”
“This is an attack on the mind.”
“Right… That makes sense. So, it’s a mastermind from the Wei family?”
“I’m not sure, but it’s possible.”
The twelve of them gathered together and leisurely ate the candied fruit on the table.
Qian Wensi said, “Brothers, who do you think was the one who led the conversation about the Wei family?”
“It surely wasn’t the grandmaster, Wei Xu Bing. Grandmaster Wei Xu Bing is very good at doing business, so he wouldn’t take such a risk.”
“Then, is it Old Master Wei Zhe?”
“That’s impossible. Old Master Wei Zhe was trained by Grandmaster Wei Xu Bing, and he also runs his business. His personality is similar to the old man’s.”
“Then, is it second master Wei Fei?”
“Is it possible?” The leader rolled his eyes at Qian Wensi. “Although Second Master Wei Fei doesn’t want to gamble anymore, can his personality change overnight?”
“It’s only Third Master Wei Chi!” Qian Wensi was shocked. “It can’t be Third Master Wei Chi!”
“Who else could it be?”
The leader of the Twelve Chain Docks was a mature and steady man.
He narrowed his eyes and held the teacup in his hand. “No matter what you think, I’m more and more interested in Wei Chi.”
“He’s so young, but he’s still able to orchestrate such a big negotiation. I’m afraid that if we really settle the matter tonight, the whole of Xufu Town is going to change.”
“Really? Big Brother, is the matter that serious?”
“Of course. You, Little Twelve, learn well. Do you really think that everyone here is easy to talk to?”
“Alright!” Qian Wensi was embarrassed.
“We’ll see when the time comes. It’ll be almost midnight.”
“Okay!” Qian Wensi exclaimed, “So, if it really is Wei Chi, then what does this young man want to do?”
…
On the streets, the people of Xufu Town were dumbfounded.
What was going on?
Why was the Lantern and Flower Tower surrounded by people from the government?!
Then, they looked at the people from the families.
Not only that, the leaders of the Twelve Chain Docks were all sitting in the lobby!
What were they doing?
“According to my seventh uncle, it seems that the six families are discussing something.”
“Is it about clothes making?”
“It must be about clothes making!”
“Then, what will they say?”
“I don’t know!”
The people were very concerned. It was not just because they were watching, but because this kind of thing was of vital interest to them.
In Xufu Town, as long as you could make clothes, you would not have to worry about food.
For the big town of clothes making, it was very important for these leaders of the clothing industry to gather.
“Some storytellers have already made a guess. If there’s no news tonight, then that’s the best news.”
“But if we hear that the six families are fighting, our business will be difficult in the future.”
“Ah!?”
“Don’t do that. We’re counting on the gold and silver in the autumn for the next three to four months. We still have to celebrate the New Year.”
“There’s nothing that we can do. The person who took the lead in bringing up the meeting is probably not ordinary.”
“Eh, that’s true. He had to choose the autumn one.”

“Uncomfortable.”
And just as the commoners were talking about these things…
Exclamations could be heard.
The carriage arrived.
The carriage with the emblems of various large families engraved on the surface stopped one by one in front of the Lantern and Flower Tower.
“Wow! This is the Li family! The young master of the Li family is already so old.”
“Impressive!”
“They have all the sales of our Xufu Town’s clothes.”
The four of them entered the Lantern and Flower Tower. Their family emblem seemed to be a special flower.
An old man was walking at the front with a cane.
“The Zhao family is here too!”
“The head of the Zhao family is still as young as ever!”
“They seem to have taken one-tenth of the clothes as well!”
After the four people of the Li family entered, the four people of the Zhao family also came.
An old man, two middle-aged men, and a woman in her twenties.
“The Bai family!”
“The Bai family is a family of women, and the head of the family, Bai Rou, is as beautiful as a flower. It’s a pity that she’s already a wife.”
“Yeah, but she still looks as charming as ever. I’m afraid that water can be squeezed out of her.”
After the four members of the Zhao family entered the Lantern and Flower Tower, there were five women following behind them.
The women had different forms.
At the front was a woman dressed in luxurious clothes.
Then…
“The Yue family!”
“I heard that they have a good relationship with the government, but business has been bad recently, so they can only get 10% of the clothes!”
“It can’t be helped. It seems that the head of the family died young, and at the same time, there were many enemies left behind during the war.”
“But, at least, they can come in! Maybe they can get up in the future!”
The five women entered the Lantern and Flower Tower, and behind them were six members of the Yue family.
The six of them were all very young, and the eldest was about the same age as Wei Zhe. They were a family that did not perform very calmly.
The number of people who came was the largest.
In reality, they were probably feeling rather weak.
Then…
The crowd was somewhat excited.
Two horse carriages arrived.
From south to north, from north to south, they stopped in front of the Lantern and Flower Tower at the same time!
“The Wei family!”
“The Zhangsun family!”
“Mother, these two families got 40% of Xufu’s clothes to sell! Amazing!”
“Damn, the four members of the Wei family are all here!”
“The family head, Wei Xu Bing, was also a talented scholar when he was young!”
“The old master, Wei Zhe, is in his thirties and is still single!”
“The second master, Wei Fei, is handsome and overbearing. He didn’t have a good reputation in the past, but now, he seems to have turned over a new leaf!”
“The youngest, Wei Chi, is still a young man, but he… He seems to be the calmest one!”
“There are talented people from green mountain generation after generation!”
Finally, in the Zhangsun family.
“Three Zhangsun family members came!”
“They are the old-fashioned clothing family of our Xufu Town, and only three people came!”
“Three generations. The grandfather is also the head of the family, Zhangsun Hao, followed by his son, Zhangsun Cheng, and finally, his granddaughter, Zhangsun Mei!”
“The Zhangsun family still has a lot of resources.”
“It seems that the clothes made in Xufu Town were brought up by the Zhangsun family!”
“Is that so?”
“The Zhangsun family is so powerful?”
“Right! Although the Wei family’s business is the same as the Zhangsun family’s, their resources are still a little lacking. They need time to settle down!”
“And this granddaughter, Zhangsun Mei, can do it. The little girl is extraordinarily beautiful, and her young face subtly carries a lot of exquisite charm!”
“If anyone is lucky enough to marry Zhangsun Mei, then, this is truly amazing!”
“That’s right! This kind of woman can help!”
And so, all six families of Xufu’s clothing industry were present.
The Li family, the Zhao family, the Bai family, the Yue family, the Wei family, and the Zhangsun family.
…
The shopkeeper of Lantern and Flower Restaurant was flustered like a puppy.
He was really very flustered.
On one hand, he thought about how the restaurant’s reputation was going to soar, but on the other hand, he was even more distressed.
He had already asked the chef to prepare the best food, and he almost knelt before the chef.
He begged them to bring out their best cooking skills.
And this didn’t even need the manager to say it. Even the chef was panicking!
F*ck!
If he couldn’t serve the people of the six great families, who knew what the consequences would be?
All the chefs had come!
Now, the back kitchen was filled with the whirring sound of wind turbines, and the best charcoal was burning desperately.
D*mn it.
The entire Xufu Town was in a mess.
The government was afraid of an accident.
The Twelve Chain Docks were afraid of an accident.
The other small families were afraid of an accident.
The shop owners were afraid of an accident.
Even the common people were afraid of an accident.

The whole damn town was in a panic!
It was because of Wei Chi’s suggestion…
Then, the clamorous voices quieted down.
The entire Xufu Town seemed to have turned into a spirit, and everyone was listening attentively to the news about the Lantern and Flower Tower.
This was a major event of destiny.
