Grandeur Hotel.
This was one of Shen Long's properties, and this grand gathering was naturally held in this hotel.
Outside the hotel, luxury cars were as numerous as rain, and prominent figures from Qingyun City entered the hotel one after another.
The hotel was closed to the public today, and only the most influential figures in Qingyun City could enter.
Li Se followed Wei Lao San into the hotel. He indeed saw many familiar faces at this gathering.
There were tycoons like Shen Long and Shang Zhifeng, as well as leaders like Ding Peng and Sun Hong.
This was a gathering not just of the wealthy, but also of officials. The discussions at such a meeting were likely to concern the future of Qingyun City.
There were also some young people at this gathering, such as Lin Tianrui and Hong Zhixue, but at such an event, these youngsters could only sit quietly, not daring to speak.
"Let's go, brother Li, I'll introduce you to someone." Wei Lao San led Li Se to a certain spot.
When Li Se saw the person, he couldn't help but be startled. It was none other than the richest man in Hong Kong, Yao Jingtai!
"Elder Wei, long time no see."
Yao Jingtai greeted Wei Lao San, "I had intended to visit you, Elder Wei, but I've been too busy with investment matters these past few days."
"It's fine," Wei Lao San waved his hand with a smile. "Let me introduce you to someone. This is Li Se. His medical skills are exceptional, and he also has a good understanding of Feng Shui. You've been looking for a Feng Shui master, right? I think he's the one!"
"Oh?" Yao Jingtai looked at Li Se with a half-smile, "Master Li, we meet again."
Beside him, Zhang Ruishan's expression was grim.
"You know each other?" Wei Lao San asked, confused.
"We met at the Feng Shui gathering earlier," Yao Jingtai smiled. He had originally planned to use some of the local forces in Qingyun City at this gathering to get Li Se to work for him, but he hadn't expected Wei Lao San to proactively recommend Li Se to him.
No matter how arrogant you are, in the face of power, you are just a tool.
Zhang Ruishan walked up to Li Se and said in a low voice, "Heh, in the end, won't you still have to obediently work for my boss?"
Li Se raised an eyebrow and sneered, "A dog should know its place. When is it your turn to bark here?"
"You..." Zhang Ruishan was furious and wanted to lash out, but he knew he couldn't act rashly in this setting. Although all the wealthy individuals present were no match for Yao Jingtai, this was not Hong Kong, and he was merely a secretary. In certain situations, he was quite self-aware.
Wei Lao San was somewhat surprised, as he rarely saw Li Se so angry. He immediately understood something; there was likely a conflict between Li Se and Yao Jingtai.
"Master Li is right," Yao Jingtai said. Although he was somewhat angered, he did not show it. "Then, for my upcoming investment projects, Master Li must take a good look. Oh, and regarding your Yuanfeng Group's Tianwang Palace project, I sent someone to discuss cooperation today. There might be some misunderstanding, and I hope Master Li won't be angry. There's no need to hold a grudge against a manager. We can discuss cooperation further."
"Heh, Boss Yao, I'm just an ordinary person. How can I discuss business with the esteemed richest man in Hong Kong? Furthermore, my knowledge of Feng Shui is merely superficial. If you need it, there are plenty of masters who can do Feng Shui for you. Why would you need me?" Li Se sneered.
"What is your attitude?" Zhang Ruishan reprimanded. "Our boss inviting you to do Feng Shui is a compliment. Your attitude is completely ungrateful. Has our boss ever treated you poorly from beginning to end? He's always been polite!"
After the thin man's failure, he had specifically called to threaten Li Se, but Yao Jingtai didn't know about this. Even if he did, what difference would it make?
Given Yao Jingtai's personality, what could you do if he threatened you?
"What, is the cornered dog barking again? Didn't they just send someone to cripple me today? Have you forgotten?" Li Se said calmly.
Zhang Ruishan's face turned red with anger. Li Se was too humiliating, especially in front of so many influential people. He was Yao Jingtai's secretary, and Li Se's insults were completely disrespectful to Yao Jingtai.
Upon hearing Li Se's words, Wei Lao San's expression changed slightly, and he quickly said, "Brother Li, what exactly is going on? Is there some misunderstanding?"
"Elder Wei, there is no misunderstanding," Li Se shook his head. "If Elder Wei is introducing this Yao Jingtai as a friend, then forget it. There is no cooperation between us, and I will not do Feng Shui for him!"
"Master Li, isn't your tone a bit too arrogant?" Yao Jingtai had been polite until now because he was suppressing his anger. But now that Li Se had shut down all possibilities, he knew Wei Lao San's standing in Qingyun City. Li Se's words were not only disrespectful to him but also to Wei Lao San.
"So what if it is?" Li Se clasped his hands behind his back and looked at Yao Jingtai coldly. His eyes carried a chilling intent.
With just such a look, even Yao Jingtai, who had weathered many storms and was the richest man in Hong Kong, felt a tremor in his heart. He couldn't believe that he was actually intimidated by a young man's gaze.
"Yao Jingtai, since brother Li is unwilling, then I can't do anything about it. Moreover, since you are asking for a favor, you must lower your stance," Wei Lao San said with some displeasure.
"Elder Wei, you..." Yao Jingtai couldn't believe that Wei Lao San would actively speak up for Li Se. What kind of joke was this?
The main reason was that Yao Jingtai had never considered Li Se to be on the same level as himself. In his opinion, no matter how capable Li Se was, he was still just a Feng Shui master, at most acquainted with some influential people.
But he never expected Wei Lao San to protect Li Se so much, which forced him to re-evaluate Li Se.
"Mr. Yao, what happened?"
Just then, a hearty voice was heard. It was Ding Peng, the mayor of Qingyun City, who walked over with many leaders of Qingyun City by his side.
"Mayor Ding, there was a slight misunderstanding. It's nothing," Yao Jingtai said with a composed face.
"You know Doctor Li?" Ding Peng also noticed Li Se and asked in surprise.
Yao Jingtai's heart tightened. Did this Li Se also know the mayor of Qingyun City?
Does this guy have that much capability?
