Diary of the life of a working wizard

Whether it was Lu Yilin or Cheng Hao, it was necessary for them to take the initiative to make amends with Xia Yunjie. However, Qin Yiyuan and his wife had special identities. Naturally, Xia Yunjie could not wait for them to toast him, but he took the initiative to give them wine glasses. Two toasts. And Xia Yunjie can also understand how Qin Yiyuan and his wife didn't like him before. After all, no one who has such an outstanding daughter would not want her to marry a young Chinese medicine doctor like him.

Of course, one moment was another, and now Xia Yunjie took the initiative to toast Qin Yiyuan and his wife, but both of them were very happy. They also felt a little bit ashamed and embarrassed that they had looked at Xia Yunjie in a snobbish way before. Fortunately, Xia Yunjie didn't mention anything about what happened before. So that the couple will not be embarrassed. Otherwise, the two of them really don't know how to deal with their relationship with Xia Yunjie, whose identity has suddenly changed.

Seeing his uncle holding a wine glass and toasting to Qin Yiyuan and his wife, with an easy-going and humble look on his face, Zhang Yunfeng, who was sitting in the guest seat, finally calmed down a little bit.

As soon as his mind calmed down a little, Zhang Yunfeng suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but pat his thigh secretly, thinking that he almost forgot that Huang Peizhen also stopped by to celebrate Mr. Qin's birthday.

Thinking in his heart, Zhang Yunfeng turned to Qin Pinzheng and said in a low voice: "Mr. Qin, Vice Minister Huang Peizhen is also in our Xiping City today. When I was with him before, we talked privately about your eightieth birthday. He said it would be later. I want to come over and wish you birthday."

"Huang Peizhen, the old leader's second son, he is coming too!" Qin Pinzheng's cloudy old eyes seemed to light up when he heard this, and his wrinkled face showed a hint of excitement.

Speaking of which, Qin Pinzheng had served as a soldier and fought under Huang Lao before, and he was nothing more than a direct soldier of his. However, Mr. Huang is a tough general of the older generation who has made great achievements in battles. He has always been the leader admired by old soldiers like Qin Pinzheng. So Qin Pinzheng heard that the old leader’s son would also come over to wish him a birthday later, but his mentality had already changed. Even though I'm old, I can't help but get excited at this time.

"Yes." Zhang Yunfeng nodded when he saw the excitement on Mr. Qin's face, but he was thinking in his heart that the main reason why Huang Peizhen wanted to drop by to celebrate Mr. Qin's birthday was probably because Mr. Qin was a revolutionary of the older generation. It was because he saw that he valued Mr. Qin, so he came here specifically to express his gratitude. He didn’t really want to come to wish the old man a birthday, but he didn’t know what he would be like when he saw his uncle. With such a mood, how should I treat Mr. Qin?

As Li Qinghong's adopted son and named disciple, Zhang Yunfeng naturally knew the relationship between Xia Yunjie and the Huang family.

Huang Lao's son, Huang Peizhen, the deputy minister of a certain ministry, came to Xiling Province to inspect the work. Qin Yizhen naturally knew about it. When Secretary Zhang Yunfeng said today that he had an important guest to entertain, he actually vaguely guessed Huang Peizhen. Now that Zhang Yunfeng said this, he was more convinced of this. At the same time, he was as excited and happy as his father.

Mr. Huang is one of the last remaining veterans of the Republic. Even though he has retired a long time ago, if he stomps his feet, the whole political arena of the Republic will be shocked. His weight is far beyond what his father can compare with. Not only that, Mr. Huang has three sons and one daughter. Except for his daughter, who chose medicine instead of politics, the other three sons are all heavyweights in the political arena of the Republic. Especially the eldest son and the second son, one is the secretary of the provincial party committee of Yunling Province, a major economic province, and the other is the deputy minister of a certain ministry, at the ministerial level. And the most important thing is that there are now very loud calls for Mr. Huang’s eldest son Huang Peihao to enter Beijing in the next term. In fact, Huang Peizhen came to Xiling Province at this time, and the inspection was only a superficial official matter. The conversation between the Huang family and Zhang Yunfeng, the "frontier official", was the real focus. Of course, Qin Yizhen can only speculate on this point. After all, his status is not yet accessible to that level. Unless he can compete for the position of executive deputy governor next year, he may be able to gain some exposure.

But no matter what, it is a great thing for Mr. Huang's second son to come to celebrate Mr. Qin's birthday, both in terms of appearance and for the future development of the Qin family. At least if someone touches the Qin family like the Lu family did in the future, they will have to think about whether there is any other meaning in the fact that Mr. Huang's son came to wish his father a birthday?

However, after being excited and happy, Qin Yizhen soon felt embarrassed.

Huang Peizhen was coming, whether he just came and left immediately, or sat for a while, since he had mentioned it to Secretary Zhang Yunfeng in advance, Qin Yizhen had to arrange a place for him in advance no matter what.

But how to arrange this location? With Huang Peizhen's status, it is not too much to be on an equal footing with Secretary Zhang Yunfeng. Naturally, it is difficult to arrange a seat for him. However, the second guest's seat has been assigned to Lu Yilin. At this time, it is naturally difficult to ask him to give up his seat. of.

"Why is Minister Huang coming here tonight?"

The box was so big. When Qin Yizhen looked troubled, Lu Yilin and the others soon vaguely learned that Mr. Huang's second son, Huang Peizhen, was coming, and they all began to ask about it.

There was naturally nothing to hide about this matter. After receiving Qin Yizhen's confirmed answer, the atmosphere in the box immediately became more subtle.

Everyone in the Qin family was naturally happy and excited, feeling proud of their faces, especially Qin Yiqian who was the most excited and nervous. He is the deputy mayor of a prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of Yunling Province. The recent competition for the position of executive deputy mayor is at a critical moment. The provincial party committee secretary of Yunling Province is the eldest son of Huang, the brother of Vice Minister Huang Peizhen. , if after returning, he intentionally or unintentionally releases Vice Minister Huang Peizhen to come specially to congratulate his father on his birthday, or if he leaves a good impression on Vice Minister Huang Peizhen during this birthday celebration, and he slightly mentions it to his brother Secretary Huang, then he will compete The probability of getting the position of executive deputy mayor will be much greater, and he will naturally no longer have to worry about whether to go to the province or the capital.

Compared with the excitement and joy of the Qin family, the expression on Cheng Hao's face seemed a little strange, as if he was looking forward to Huang Peizhen's arrival, and even glanced at Xia Yunjie with a hint of pride.

However, the one with the most subtle and complicated expression among the crowd was probably Vice Governor Lu Yilin. He and Qin Yizhen are both colleagues and competitors. Naturally, he hopes that Qin Yizhen will be as weak as possible, but things seem to be exactly the opposite. The Qin family is not only valued by Zhang Yunfeng, but also has Xia Yunjie, a "quasi-son-in-law" who he cannot see through. , and now even Mr. Huang's son is coming to wish the Qin family a birthday. As a result, Lu Yilin, who is also the deputy governor, has clearly felt that he is lower than Qin Yizhen.

Of course, now is not the time to think about this, but Vice Minister Huang Peizhen is coming. His position under the deputy governor's butt seems to have to be moved. This makes Lu Yilin feel quite embarrassed, but he has to let him Offer it yourself. Otherwise, when Minister Huang arrives later, Secretary Zhang Yunfeng will sit on the left side of Mr. Qin, but he will sit carelessly on the right side of Mr. Qin. How is this inappropriate?

"Mr. Qin, since Minister Huang is coming, why not ask the waiter to find a seat next to you, and I can move back." In the end, Lu Yilin took the initiative to suggest to Mr. Qin before Qin Yizhen proposed a new position arrangement. .

"What's wrong with this? I'd better move back and let Minister Huang sit with Secretary Zhang later." Qin Yizhen said with an embarrassed look on his face before his father could speak.

"No, no, I'd better move back so that I can communicate more with Minister Huang." Lu Yilin said, and he really had this idea in his heart.

This is what is called a gain and a loss. Minister Huang came to congratulate the Qin family on their birthday, which made Lu Yilin a little disappointed and jealous. Of course, he was also a little embarrassed to give up his position. But if he could take this opportunity to establish a good relationship with Minister Huang, he could even establish a good relationship with the Huang family through him. Building relationships is a great thing.

Thinking of this, Lu Yilin felt faintly happy and expectant in his heart. After all, it's not just any deputy governor who can sit and eat next to someone like Huang Zhenlin.

Seeing Lu Yilin's insistence, Qin Yizhen naturally nodded "helplessly" and asked the waiter to add a seat between Qin Pinzheng and Lu Yilin.

The dining table is said to be for sixteen people, but it doesn't look crowded at all with seventeen people sitting there, so there's no need to ask anyone to get up and eat at another table.

"Why is Minister Huang here too? Was he familiar with grandpa before?" Seeing that another high-ranking official with whom he had a close relationship was coming, Xia Yunjie secretly smiled bitterly, but asked casually.

"I'm not familiar with him, but speaking of it, grandpa also served as a soldier under Mr. Huang before, so he should have met Minister Huang once or twice. As for why he came, I think he came here specially because of his identity. Most likely It’s just for Secretary Zhang’s sake.” Qin Lan understood the relationship between the Qin family and the Huang family, and quickly saw the subtleties.

"That's true. Secretary Zhang is here. Since Minister Huang knows about it, there is no reason why he shouldn't come." Xia Yunjie nodded and smiled after hearing this.

"You don't even know Minister Huang Peizhen, do you?" Seeing Xia Yunjie nodding, Qin Lan's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly thought of a possibility and couldn't help but blurt out and asked in a low voice.

"Well, his father and I have been friends for many years. What a coincidence. I wanted to be a low-key son-in-law of the Qin family, but now it seems that he has helped me in everything." Xia Yunjie smiled helplessly at Qin Lan.

Qin Lan opened her mouth when she heard this, but finally closed it again.

Just as he was talking, Huang Peizhen knocked on the door of the box.

Seeing that Huang Peizhen had arrived, there was another commotion in the box. Everyone stood up one after another. Qin Yizhen had already stepped forward to greet Huang Peizhen on behalf of the Qin family.

"Minister Huang, thank you for coming here despite your busy schedule." Qin Yizhen held Huang Peizhen's hand and said with excitement and gratitude.
