Diary of the life of a working wizard
Chapter 1,053 Contrast before and after
“Mr.
Just kidding, the Teacher Xia in front of him was his father's old friend. If it weren't for his status, he was allowed to call him Teacher Xia, otherwise he would have to call Xia Yunjie Uncle Xia today. Of course, speaking of it, it was Huang Peizhen who made the profit, otherwise, like Zhang Yunfeng, he and Xia Yunjie would be two generations apart.
This title can be changed a little, but the status and hierarchy are placed there, so how can you sit in this position randomly?
Although the people present had already been mentally prepared and their hearts had become much stronger, their faces seemed to change when they saw Huang Peizhen was frightened, and everyone's hearts were still beating hard.
"There is nothing wrong. Today I am Qin Lan's boyfriend and Grandpa Qin's junior. I should sit here. What you represent today is your identity to congratulate Grandpa Qin on his birthday. It has nothing to do with me. Everything will be arranged by the master. Xia Yunjie smiled disapprovingly.
"But..." Huang Peizhen still didn't dare to sit down and faltered.
There is no way, Mr. Huang is more tolerant than many old people in some aspects, but he is also very stubborn in some aspects. If he is allowed to know that he sits at the top of the table when eating, while his brother Xia sits at the bottom to accompany him. Sit down, why don't you scold him till he's bloody?
"It's nothing good. Isn't Secretary Zhang sitting on it?" Xia Yunjie said with a slight expression on his face.
Seeing Xia Yunjie mentioning himself, Zhang Yunfeng's heart shivered reflexively, and he secretly smiled bitterly, "Aren't you the one who forced me into this?" Fortunately, Master and the old man are not here, otherwise he would have kicked me away.
When Huang Peizhen saw Xia Yunjie's face lowered and mentioned Zhang Yunfeng again, he naturally did not dare to refuse. He bowed slightly and said, "Teacher Xia, I will offend you greatly."
Seeing that Xia Yunjie dared to look at Huang Peizhen's face, but Huang Peizhen was so frightened that he immediately obeyed like a little daughter-in-law, and everyone's heart beat violently again.
"Okay, let's go and take a seat." Xia Yunjie was not used to such an atmosphere, and he also felt that he seemed to have ruined the old man's birthday party. Seeing that Huang Peizhen was still so cautious and procrastinating, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. urged.
Seeing that Teacher Xia seemed a little impatient, Huang Peizhen did not dare to be verbose anymore. Just like Zhang Yunfeng, he turned around and sat on the second guest's seat as if walking on thin ice.
After Huang Peizhen sat down, the birthday banquet started again.
It's just that this time the atmosphere looks lively and lively on the surface, but everyone feels that there seems to be an invisible pressure that is much stronger than before, pressing on everyone's heart, making them speak and act with a hint of caution. , and even secretly glance at the young man sitting next to him from time to time.
Even the old man Qin Pinzheng seemed a little more reserved when Xia Yunjie toasted to him again, no longer as heroic as when he mentioned being a soldier.
There was no way, the "prospective grandson-in-law" in front of him was obviously Huang Lao's friend. Even if Huang Lao wanted to see him, it had to depend on whether he had time, and he was just a soldier under Huang Lao back then.
During this period, Huang Peizhen and Zhang Yunfeng naturally toasted Xia Yunjie frequently. When toasting, they also deliberately left the table and walked up to him. Apparently they thought that toasting from a distance was not respectful enough, which also made the people in the box tremble with fear. In particular, Cheng Hao and Lu Pinyuan were even more frightened when they thought of the provocation and difficulty they had shown when they toasted him. Fortunately, Xia Yunjie didn't seem to have any intention of settling a score with them, otherwise if he really showed a little bit of intention, the two of them had no doubt that they would never be able to get ahead in this life, and even they My father's career prospects will be affected.
Of course, they were all frightened. Most of the people present were from the Qin family. Now that Qin Lan could find such an incredible man, they were naturally very happy, especially Qin Yiqian who seemed to have seen Nan Qi. The position of executive deputy mayor of the city was beckoning to him. At the same time, he finally understood that Xia Yunjie's words at the nursing home were not "arrogant words" or words to please his father and Qin Lan, but that he was very familiar with Mr. Huang and Huang Peihao. .
It's a pity that he didn't realize at the time that his attitude towards Xia Yunjie was not very good, and his daughter's boyfriend's attitude towards him was even worse. Otherwise, after the birthday party, he could use his identity as Qin Lan's third uncle to take the opportunity to talk to him. Xia Yunjie mentioned that, in this way, the position of executive deputy governor of Nanqi City would be more secure.
Qin Pinzheng's 80th birthday party finally ended amidst the seemingly lively atmosphere.
After it was over, everyone intentionally or unintentionally surrounded Xia Yunjie in the middle, as if he was the birthday boy. This made Xia Yunjie quite uncomfortable, so he simply fell a few steps behind and glared at Zhang Yunfeng and Huang Peizhen.
Both of them had been in contact with Xia Yunjie and knew a little bit about his character, so they smiled coquettishly, and then chatted and laughed with Mr. Qin and others, walking in front, and finally no longer worried about Xia Yunjie.
"You were so powerful tonight, and now everyone in the Qin family has begun to regard you as their leader. Just now, my second uncle asked me whether you were going to stay at his house or a hotel tonight. If you want to stay in a hotel, he will arrange it right away. ." Xia Yunjie was a few steps behind, and when he was walking with some juniors behind him, Qin Lan came over, took his hand, rolled her eyes at him, and whispered.
Obviously, even with Qin Yizhen's position as deputy governor of Xiling Province, he dare not ask Xia Yunjie directly about these arrangements. Instead, he asked Qin Lan what he meant.
Thinking about last night in the hotel lobby, Qin Yizhen asked Qin Lan to stay at his house without asking for his opinion at all, but now he wants to ask for his opinion through Qin Lan. The gap between now and then made Xia Yunjie feel dumbfounded. At the same time, I also secretly lamented why there are so many people fighting for power. I guess this is one of the reasons.
Naturally, Xia Yunjie would not indulge in the vanity brought about by this kind of power. Moreover, no matter how powerful or powerful he was, his family was still his family. He could not look down on his family just because of his abilities and power. Qin Lan is his woman, and Qin Yizhen is her second uncle. In fact, he is his second uncle who is not related by blood. Therefore, Qin Yizhen can look up to him because of the power he displays, but he cannot naturally look down on him because of this.
"It's rare that you come back to get together with your family, so you'd better stay at your second uncle's house. Of course, if your second uncle doesn't welcome me, that's another matter." Xia Yunjie whispered in Qin Lan's ear.
"Don't be proud of me. You know clearly that it's too late for our family to welcome you, Teacher Xia. Why do you say you're not welcome? That's another matter!" Qin Lan's hand holding his arm quietly pinched his waist, her pretty eyes rolled. She said, but it was easy to tell from her angry tone that she was still very happy that Xia Yunjie decided to continue living at her second uncle's house.
