Chapter 152 Birthday Banquet (3)

Seeing Zhang Tianming coming forward to say hello, Ling Zikai just remembered why he left their father and son aside.Immediately said quickly: "It's all my fault, I was so busy talking, I forgot to introduce you.

These two are my college classmate Zhang Hao and his father.Uncle Zhang is now the deputy mayor of BS City.They wanted to go up the mountain to celebrate the old man's birthday, but they were stopped by the guards at the sentry post and couldn't get in.When I came up, I brought them back.You don't blame me for making my own claims! "

Seeing that Ling Zikai had reached this point, Brother Zhang Siping wouldn't say it even if he felt a little uncomfortable.

Zhang Siping, who is the head of the Zhang family, also took the initiative to extend his hand to Zhang Tianming and said, "Vice Mayor Zhang, you are welcome to visit the Zhang family compound!"

Zhang Tianming looked a little flattered, quickly held Zhang Siping's palm with both hands, and said, "Thank you, General Zhang!"

Zhang Jiefang said beside him: "Originally, the old man has already sent a message, and there will be no outsiders today. But since you are here, let's go in and have a meeting!"

Zhang Jiefang can be said to be Zhang Tianming's boss. What he said meant to beat Zhang Tianming for not complying with the regulations, and he also invited him in with a big belly. Quickly said: "Thank you, Leader Zhang!"

Zhang Siping and his brothers had to welcome the guests at the door, and ordered Zhang Jun to take Ling Zikai and the others in.

After entering the courtyard gate, Zhang Jun led everyone to a wing room on the east side.

Inside the wing room is a small three-bay hall with five dining tables, which should be the place for birthday banquets.The interior layout is very simple, only the pair of red silk with a golden "longevity" written on the wall directly above is full of joy.

Except for the table at the top which was still empty, there were quite a few people sitting at the other three tables.Because the protagonist has not appeared yet, the banquet has not yet started, and everyone is sitting there chatting.

Seeing Ling Zikai and the others coming in, He Ling who was sitting at the bottom table shouted to them, "Sister Du Juan, come here!"

There were still four empty seats at the table where He Ling was sitting, which should have been specially reserved for Ling Zikai and the others.Now there are two more Zhang Hao and his son, so I had to add two more chairs, and it seemed a bit crowded after sitting down.

A young man at the same table whispered: "Didn't you say there are four more people, why are there six here, it's a bit too crowded!"

Zhang Jun said to the young man dissatisfied: "Why, you think it's crowded, then sit at the top table, there are still many empty seats!"

The young man smiled shyly, and said, "Brother Jun was joking, is there a place for me to sit!"

Ling Zikai looked around. Except for the young people sitting at his own table, the other tables were filled with people over the age of 50, and nearly half of them were officers in military uniform, and the lowest rank was also a colonel.

Just as he was thinking, the people who had been sitting in the small hall stood up in unison and applauded warmly.

Surrounded by everyone, the old man walked in, with a smile on his face, waving to everyone in the small hall as he walked.The whole person looks radiant and energetic, not diminishing the glory of the past.

There are several gray-haired old men behind him, who must be the old subordinates who followed him back then.Compared with the 90-year-old old man who is still walking like a tiger, the complexions of these old people are obviously inferior, both mentally and physically.

The last ones were the Zhang Siping brothers, He Wandong and his wife, as well as a few dignified and unsmiling people, probably the leaders of the government departments.

The old man sat in the first place without hesitation, and those old subordinates and government leaders sat in the first place.

As the eldest son, Zhang Siping wanted to entertain the elders on behalf of the old man, so he naturally stayed in the chief position.

On the contrary, Zhang Jiefang and He Wandong lost that qualification and were placed in the second seat.

Surprisingly, when everyone sat down, they found that a chair next to the old man was still vacant. It was unknown which VIP it was reserved for, and it seemed that the qualifications should be very high.But it seems that there is no one who can be equal to the old man in the whole northern province. Could it be a big shot from the capital?

While everyone was secretly guessing, the old man glanced at the entire small hall, waved at the table at the bottom, and shouted loudly: "Brother Ling, why are you hiding in that corner?" Come on, come on, come on, sit here quickly!"

Hearing the old man's greeting, Ling Zikai's head grew bigger all of a sudden.He doesn't want to be in the limelight and become the focus of everyone's attention on this occasion!However, since the old man has arranged this good show, it is impossible for him to avoid it.

Sure enough, all eyes in the small hall have already looked in the direction of the old man waving.

Ling Zikai had no choice but to bite the bullet and stood up, and said to the old man: "Grandpa, you see that the people sitting at your table are all seniors with high morals and high esteem, how can I dare to sit on an equal footing with them! I'll stay here forget it."

"Where is there so much nonsense, come here if you are asked! Why, do you think that we are old and useless, and don't care about dealing with us!"

The old man pretended to be angry on purpose, and said.

Ling Zikai knew that if he refused again, he would become everyone's public enemy.

I didn't see how many people present were about to burst into flames!Probably in their hearts they wished to rush up and kick themselves away, and then said to the old man: "Grandpa, since this kid doesn't know how to flatter you and doesn't want to sit by your side, let me sit!"
Don't you see that even dignified leaders are not qualified to sit in that seat?

Where did this kid come from? Could it be a certain prince in the capital? Otherwise, how could the old man value him so much and let him sit by his side!
How can this kid be so good that he can be called a little brother by the old man!

Under the gazes of everyone full of surprise, envy, and jealousy, not to mention Ling Zikai felt uncomfortable as if he had thorns all over his body, even Du Juan who was sitting next to him felt uncomfortable, pulled the front of his clothes with his hand, and bowed his head. He said in a low voice: "Don't be foolish here, since the old man wants you to go there, don't refuse, go there quickly!"

Ling Zikai smiled wryly, and walked towards the chief helplessly.

After Ling Zikai left, Su Guoer stretched his cramped body, and said carelessly: "With one less person, sitting is much more comfortable."
