Chapter 1271: What A Pity, What A Pity
Old Jiang was elated when he heard that. Officials were different. They knew how to host a meal even better than businessmen. He laughed and pulled the strings again. “Brother Qin, you can have more fun in the provincial city. There’s no need to rush back to the capital city.”
He had already opened the door of the private room. Ye Zhifan stood up and sent him off. He walked over and said, “Thank you, Old Jiang. If Old Master Cao is not here yet, you could come back and drink with us.”
As he spoke, he came closer and whispered, “Thank you, Old Jiang.”
“Director Ye, you’re regarding me as an outsider.” Old Jiang, who was slightly bald, touched his forehead out of habit. He glanced at Qin Yi, who was chatting with Sun Dongqing, and quickly reminded, “Director Ye, Young Master Qin’s family are all important figures in the capital city. Our Jiang family and the Qin family are in-laws. If not, we wouldn’t be able to invite him. He’s a forthright person. I think you can get along with him. Why don’t you strike while the iron is hot and tell him that Ye Ying wants to enter the capital city?”
“To tell you the truth, although the Qin family is a diplomatic family, the people they know in the military and political world are all high-ranking officers. As long as the Qin family approves it, Ye Ying can enter whichever unit she wants.”
Since Ye Zhifan chose such a high-class place to invite guests, naturally, he had investigated the situation of Old Jiang’s family. He knew that Old Jiang was telling the truth.
Ye Zhifan glanced at Qin Yi, who was speaking politely to his wife. The smile on his face turned wider. He said meaningfully, “Old Jiang, if my daughter succeeds, you will succeed too.”
On the other side, Sun Dongqing complimented him, “Mr. Qin is indeed from a prestigious family. Only the Qin family can groom a talent like Mr. Qin. You’re not like us. We don’t have the ability to raise our children. We can only be anxious.”
Sun Xueqing didn’t have many qualms when she spoke. They had drunk three rounds of liquor and tasted five dishes but they still didn’t mention her daughter’s enlistment. She couldn’t help but feel a little anxious so she just said it directly. Anyway, the other party knew why her family invited him for a meal.
For the sake of her daughter’s future, this was the first time Sun Dongqing lowered her status to support a young man. “We’re old too. We don’t have the ability to pave a path for our child. Even when we want our daughter to enlist as a military art soldier, our entire family can only worry.”
“Director Ye, your wife is talking about serious business. I won’t disturb you from talking to Brother Qin. I will come and look for you later.” When Old Jiang heard this, he guessed that there might be a grey transaction. He knew that he couldn’t stay here anymore. He would come back half an hour later.
As for checking if Old Master Cao came or not, that was just a front.
For Old Master Cao’s birthday banquet, Qin Yi’s appearance didn’t matter much.
Two figures walked past the open room. Then, someone turned around and looked into the room.
Ye Zhifan was about to speak when he saw the figure walking towards him. He pursed his lips. He met someone familiar… Principal Cao from Provincial No.1 Middle School.
Principal Cao didn’t have any intention of catching up with Ye Zhifan. He walked back to the room and patted Old Jiang who was talking to him. “Why are you here? Yuxiang is looking for you everywhere. She wants you to go to the door and receive the guests.”
Old Jiang got a fright when someone suddenly patted his back. When he heard Principal Cao’s voice, his heart stiffened. He turned around and replied with a stiff face, “Hello, Second Uncle. I met someone I know and I came to greet him.”
