Chapter 966: The Big One Suppresses the Small One
After hearing this voice, He Shaojun's eyes suddenly showed some doubts.
However, a faint smile appeared on Chen Ping's face, standing next to He Shaojun.
In the reception hall, when most people were looking around for the person who had just spoken these words, a calm voice came out again: "Don't look, I'm here."
The moment he finished speaking, a figure wearing a long gown suddenly appeared at the door of the reception hall, as if out of nowhere.
In this day and age, it is rare for someone to walk around the city dressed like this.
Just now, everyone couldn't tell the direction of the sound, but now almost everyone felt something and turned to look at the door of the reception hall.
However, the moment they saw the middle-aged man standing at the door of the reception hall, most of the people present had a hint of doubt in their eyes.
Because most of the people here did not know the identity of this middle-aged man, but there were a few people in the crowd whose expressions changed slightly.
Among them are Chen Ping, Wang Chengye and others who were still tit-for-tat just now.
Because Chen Ping, Wang Chengye and others recognized this middle-aged man the first time they saw him.
Surprisingly, it was Ouyang Guanhai, the head of the Ouyang family in the Guwu family.
Although the Hidden Family and the Guwu Family do not belong to the same circle, they both live in the Magic City after all. With Wang Chengye's identity and status, although there is no way for the entire Wang family to enter the ranks of the Guwu Family, they are very important to Ouyang. Guan Hai still has a certain impression on him, and they have met several times.
So when he saw Ouyang Guanhai for the first time, Wang Chengye already recognized the other person's identity.
And precisely because of this, Wang Chengye's heart suddenly sank slightly when he recalled the meaning of what Ouyang Guanhai just said.
He really didn't expect that Ouyang Guanhai would appear on this occasion today, and what he just heard from Ouyang Guanhai's words seemed to be clearly on the side of the He Group.
This really filled Wang Chengye's heart with doubts.
Although some time ago, Chen Ping attended a gathering of the Guwu family and took out the thousand-year-old red fruit.
It caused quite a shock in the Guwu family circle, but after all, it was a matter within the Guwu family circle. Even Wang Chengye, the head of the Wang family in Magic City, had never heard of this matter.
Therefore, at this moment, many doubts suddenly arose in Wang Chengye's heart. He had no idea why Ouyang Guanhai stood so clearly on the side of He Group and Chen Ping.
However, Ouyang Guanhai didn't care at all about the confusion in Wang Chengye and others' minds.
He came directly in front of Chen Ping and others, smiled at Chen Ping and nodded gently, his expression looking extremely kind.
Just the kindness shown by Ouyang Guanhai when facing Chen Ping made Wang Chengye's heart sink slightly.
Chen Ping had a relaxed smile on his face and greeted Ouyang Guanhai with a chuckle.
Then, Ouyang Guanhai turned to look at Wang Chengye, the smile on his face gradually became indifferent, and he asked calmly and softly with a smile: "Master Wang, could it be that you came to this cocktail party today just to bully the weak and use your power?" Pressure?"
Hearing Ouyang Guanhai's straightforward question, Wang Chengye's face suddenly changed slightly. After a moment of silence, a faint smile suddenly appeared on Wang Chengye's old face, and he calmly and gently raised his hand, even if He was much older than Ouyang Guanhai, but when facing Ouyang Guanhai, Wang Chengye had no intention of being an elder at all. Instead, he smiled very calmly and said: "Ouyang's family is joking. "Yeah, I'm just a little curious about the current situation of the He Group, but my grandson made the Ouyang family laugh with his unbridled words."
Hearing that Wang Chengye avoided talking about the question just now, Ouyang Guanhai curled his lips slightly.
Although Ouyang Guanhai is also one of the top figures in the entire Magic City, the Guwu family and the Hidden family are completely different in nature. What the Hidden family is involved in is almost entirely in the direction of business, and in business On the court, scheming and government are extremely important factors for anyone.
But the Guwu family is different. In normal times, the Guwu family rarely deals with various forces in the secular world.
Most of the Guwu families are just concentrating on developing the ancient martial arts power in their respective families. For these methods in the secular world, these big figures in the Guwu family have never cared about it, so even Ouyang Guan Hai didn't hide his emotions too much. He just smiled casually and ignored Wang Chengye.
He turned to look at Chen Ping with a smile, and smiled softly: "Brother Chen Ping, you and the He Group held this cocktail party together, why didn't you invite our Ouyang family?"
Chen Ping immediately laughed, then waved his hands repeatedly, and said with a chuckle: "Senior Ouyang, don't be offended. This cocktail party is just a simple gathering in the business world, and you don't dare to work for the Ouyang family."
Afterwards, Chen Ping exchanged a few simple greetings with Ouyang Guanhai, but as a member of the ancient martial arts family, Ouyang Guanhai could not always be in such occasions and stay with people from these hidden families.
So after a few greetings, Chen Ping and He Shaojun invited Ouyang Guanhai to a private room next to the reception hall.
After seeing the three of them disappear at the door of the private room, almost everyone in the originally silent reception hall began to look at each other and whisper.
Most of the people present did not know Ouyang Guanhai's identity, but some people in the crowd had the honor of seeing Ouyang Guanhai's true face.
And in their propaganda, more and more people in the hall have known Ouyang Guanhai's true identity.
Compared with these seemingly high-ranking hidden families, the ancient martial arts family rarely appears in the secular world. Most ordinary people, even the children of these hidden families, rarely see the existence of the ancient martial arts family.
In the eyes of most people, the ancient martial arts world seems to be another world, and such a mysterious big man appeared in front of them, which really made the younger generations of these hidden families excited.
Even for Wang Chengye, the head of the top hidden family, everyone's interest was reduced.
When Ouyang Guanhai appeared just now, he did not leave Wang Chengye any face, and even ignored Wang Chengye after just a few simple questions.
So Wang Chengye's face was a little gloomy at this moment. He didn't want to stay here and embarrass himself. He just snorted and left the cocktail party with Wang Yuanming.
It's a bit strange to say that today's cocktail party was clearly held by He Shaojun, the chairman of the He Group, and Chen Ping could be regarded as half the host, but these two hosts were not in the cocktail party hall to accompany these guests at the moment. Instead, they entered the box with Ouyang Guanhai and directly left the representatives of these hidden families aside and ignored them.
However, the younger generations of these hidden families did not seem to care too much about their actions.
The reason is very simple. The younger generations of these hidden families know very well that compared with the ancient martial arts families, the hidden families are indeed a level lower.
Moreover, even among the ancient martial arts families, the Ouyang family is an existence that cannot be underestimated.
According to legend, the head of the Ouyang family, Ouyang Guanhai, is one of the few innate masters in the entire ancient martial arts practice world.
Such big figures, they may not have many opportunities to see each other in their lifetime. It is reasonable for Chen Ping and He Shaojun to put down their guests and accompany Ouyang Guanhai.
Although the real development direction of the ancient martial arts family has always been the strength and number of ancient martial arts practitioners in the family, it seems to be indifferent to things in the secular world, and it seems to be indifferent to these hidden families that focus on business. However, the younger generations of any hidden family know very well that this is just that the ancient martial arts family does not attach importance to the commercial development in the secular world.
If it is true, the commercial strength of any ancient martial arts family in the secular world cannot be underestimated.
After all, without the financial and human resources in the secular world, the ancient martial arts family would not be able to obtain a large number of cultivation resources. However, the focus of the development of the ancient martial arts family has never been the commercial strength of the secular world, which is just incidental.
So on the surface, the two circles of the ancient martial arts family and the hidden family seem to have no intersection at all, but in fact, the difference between the two is obvious.
No matter what means the hidden family uses, it cannot affect the foundation of the ancient martial arts family. As long as the ancient martial arts masters in the ancient martial arts family have not completely disappeared, the hidden family has no way to shake the development foundation of the ancient martial arts family.
But once the ancient martial arts family attacks the hidden family, even if it only uses the power in the secular world, it will hurt the enemy by one thousand and lose eight hundred of itself, which is not something that these hidden families can easily bear.
So when facing the ancient martial arts family, these hidden families will naturally be lower.
The reception was going smoothly, but after one big figure after another appeared, the direction of the reception seemed to have deviated a lot, especially after Ouyang Guanhai appeared, the two hosts Chen Ping and He Shaojun did not show up at all. It was not until the end of the reception that He Shaojun came out to greet everyone and apologized.
Then everyone at the reception gradually dispersed, but the things that happened at the reception today, although they seem calm now, it is conceivable that within a few hours, there will be a large-scale shock in the circle of hidden families in the entire Demon City.
Especially for the He Group and the Pingyu Group, most of the hidden families will never dare to take it lightly again.
After all, everyone can see that behind the He Group and the Pingyu Group, there is the existence of the Ouyang Family. Anyone who wants to shake the He Group and the Pingyu Group needs to think twice and never dare to act rashly.
But on the other hand, most of the hidden families in the Demon City also have some intention of watching the show in their hearts.
