Chapter 422: Pomp (Part Two)

Li Menglong, the one who was responsible for stimulating Yanjing’s economic development and was also responsible for providing hospitality for the investing giants, was one of the few that reserved the seats earlier. Today, he was already at the place with a few wealthy guests to talk about an investment here, and yet they were told that the whole place was clearing out guests to make room for a group of patrons. The few top-tier businessmen in the country were quite confused and they asked Li Menglong, “We haven’t finished talking about the projects yet, why are we leaving already?”

As a local, Li Menglong knew something was definitely going on. He gestured for the businessmen to calm down and be patient first and then he turned to ask the manager who was asking for them to leave. “Who had this place reserved?’

Before the manager could speak, groups of armed special forces came in to help begin guiding people out of this place, and the whole scene suddenly became a bit exciting to watch. Even Li Menglong’s eyelids jumped. Judging by this pomp, it really looked like the preparation of the Commander-in-Chief coming out to visit.

Immediately, he looked at the three businessmen with him and said, “How about we go to another place?”

At this moment, those businessmen were thinking that it was such a rare opportunity for them to come here, they should at least finish a meal, right?

“Boss, look man, we already sat down and began eating, why do we have to leave now? Isn’t this a bit unreasonable? Besides, we already paid, right?”

The manager said, “Sir, it’s not that we are not letting you guys eat here, but we just have to push back the schedule. We just received a call from General Administration and was told about this arrangement on short notice, and that this whole place will be reserved. Please don’t make this difficult for us.”

He then looked at Li Menglong and said, “Mayor Li, you are an official here, you know we wouldn’t do this unless there really is something important happening.”

Li Menglong nodded. Seeing many of the guests already leaving, he was already planning to leave. And then, especially when the manager mentioned “General Administration”, his face also slightly changed.

“Alright, we will come back another time.” Li Menglong immediately stood up and told the three businessmen, and then the four of them got prepared to leave.

As soon as they walked out of the hotel, they saw the majestic scene of a trail of police cars leading the way as five extended-sedans with red flags flowing at the front of the vehicle slowly stopping by the restaurant. Then, special forces came forward and opened the door for those cars. When a couple of youngsters walked out from the cars, Li Menglong wasn’t too surprised, but when he saw the five elders that slowly walked out of the cars…

Li Menglong felt an earthquake in his kokoro (heart)! (read on noodletowntranslated dot com to support the actual translators)

Holy fack! (read on noodletowntranslated dot com to support the actual translators)

These five… these five elders weren’t simple characters! (read on noodletowntranslated dot com to support the actual translators)

They could be said to be the prominent veterans of the country, those five generals that were responsible for killing the most Wei Nation invaders during that war! The five of them already rarely appeared in public, but now, all five of them were in one frame, coming to one restaurant to dine! It had been over a couple dozen years now, right? It was no wonder that this restaurant would treat this with such high importance and clear out the whole place for their arrival!

Li Menglong felt a tsunami in his heart, because he also saw the old Commander Ye that he almost offended earlier!

Holy fack, so close, if he didn’t make it out in time and ran into these five higher-ups, he would be in a ton of sht!

Then, he saw a youngster holding onto Elder Ye. Elder Ye was treating him like a buddy of the same age and had his arm around Xu Cheng laughing as they walked, clearly having a good time. Li Menglong immediately squinted his tiny eyes and tried to get a clearer look of that young man, hoping to get to know him. And, this young man was none other than Xu Cheng!

“Mayor Li, who are these five elders? Do you know? I thought it was the Commander-in-Chief that came, such pomp,” those three businessmen said in confusion.

Li Menglong bitterly smiled. “Even when the Commander-in-Chief sees these five, he will respectfully call them ‘uncle’. These five are enough to represent the pinnacle of power in Huaxia.”
