Volume 1 Dragon Swims in Shallow Water Chapter 40 Follows
In the blink of an eye, every household in the village was brightly lit, and colorful lanterns were hung on every path along the village to celebrate the birthday of the old general of the Jiang family.
At this time, almost sixty tables of banquets in the outer courtyard of Jiang's house have been filled, and people are still entering the gate, and the people who come at this time are basically the local leaders of Nanzhou City, although everyone wants to come over early to show their faces, but as a leadership team, they can't come over in broad daylight, they still need to put their work first, but at this time, the door connecting the inner courtyard is closed, and all those who have just arrived and want to celebrate the old general's birthday can only wait in the outer courtyard.
"Why is this door closed?"
"I don't know, I've just arrived, and I heard them say that there seems to be an officer inside. ”
"Is it .....?" said one of them, gesturing to the north.
"This is not certain, the old man has a high status in the army, even if the biggest person comes to celebrate his birthday, don't feel strange. ”
Several leaders waiting in the outer courtyard discussed curiously.
was discussing, suddenly the inner courtyard opened, and the first to come out was Zhou Yang, Zhou Yang's ordinary dress didn't attract special attention from others, and no one would think that the closure of the inner courtyard would be because of him, mainly immediately behind Zhou Yang, and Jiang Tianming with a middle-aged man in military uniform and a little girl in a strange dress.
After everyone saw the epaulettes of the middle-aged man, they suddenly realized that lieutenant generals, high-level people in the army, in fact, there are still many people at the level of lieutenant generals in the entire Huaxia region, but there are not many lieutenant generals who really have real power, and they can appear in the inner courtyard of the Jiang family, at least it proves that the other party is not an ordinary lieutenant general.
But when Zhong Zhenxing just stepped out of the courtyard, he was called back by the old man, leaving only Zhou Yang and Bai Xiaorou to come to the outer courtyard.
"Xiaoyang, Miss Bai, you find a place to sit down first, and I have to go outside to receive people. Jiang Tianming hurriedly said a word to Zhou Yang and the others and left.
There were still a lot of vacant seats, and Zhou Yang took Bai Xiaorou to find a random place to sit down.
Few people knew Zhou Yang before, and at this moment, I saw an extremely beautiful girl following Zhou Yang's dirt buns, yes, it was soil buns, in this case, who doesn't want to show their best side in front of others, Zhou Yang is really no different from the soil buns when he dresses as an ordinary student, and the young people look at them with contempt.
"Zhou Yang, no, Captain Zhou, hahaha, you actually became my boss. Bai Xiaorou shook Zhou Yang's arm as if no one was around, and whispered with a smile.
However, Zhou Yang's indifference made the young people glaring again.
"Bai Xiaorou, there are so many people here, can you be quiet and talk well. Zhou Yang glanced at Bai Xiaorou helplessly, pulled his arm away, but accidentally touched a trace of softness from the other party, Zhou Yang suddenly understood what he had touched, his face was red to the root of his ears, Bai Xiaorou was also embarrassed by such a touch and turned her head to look away, letting go of the hand holding Zhou Yang.
A few people have been paying attention to this place, and the inadvertent movements of the two have been watched by them, and those who don't know have secretly cursed the beast.
"Jingle bell" Suddenly, the mobile phone rang, and Zhou Yang quickly picked up the phone to break the embarrassment between the two.
"Hey, Zhou Yang, have you arrived?" was Zhao Chuan's voice on the phone.
"It's been there a long time ago, where are you?"
"I just got out of the car, and I'll be at the gate right away, Dad, hurry up. There was a noise on the other side of the phone, and Zhao Chuan should have come with his father.
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the door. Zhou Yang didn't dare to say a word to Bai Xiaorou after hanging up the phone, and pretended to hurriedly run to the door to pick up someone.
At this time, the birthday guests ushered in a new wave of climax, and they saw the leaders of Nanzhou City in groups from a distance, walking towards the Jiang family with a smile.
"Zhao Chuan, here. Finally seeing Zhao Chuan in the crowd, Zhou Yang beckoned.
"Hello, Mr. Zhao directly approved your leave, and I can't ask for leave. Zhao Chuan trotted all the way, still a little panting.
"Zhou Yang, this is my dad. Subsequently, Zhao Chuan introduced Zhou Yang to his father behind him.
Zhao Chuan's father, Zhao Yunhong, is now the director of the Nanzhou Municipal Health Bureau, who is not tall, about the same height as Zhou Yang, with a pair of black-framed glasses, and his dress is relatively simple, full of literati and scholarly atmosphere, but because he has been in a high position for a long time, there is an indescribable majesty in his gestures, and he looks a little serious.
"Hello, Uncle Zhao, my name is Zhou Yang. Zhou Yang took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Zhao Yunhong.
"Hello, classmate Zhou Yang, I always heard Zhao Chuan talk about you, I finally met me today, and thank you for your usual help to Zhao Chuan in his studies. A smile appeared on Zhao Yunhong's serious face, originally he really didn't have the idea of bringing Zhao Chuan, but he was persuaded by Zhao Chuan on the grounds that Jiang Tianming was invited.
He was very curious at the time, with his current status, he was able to occasionally come into contact with a character like Jiang Tianming, and why did his son receive an invitation from the other party? Later, under his own questioning, Zhao Chuan told the truth, it turned out that all this was taken by Zhou Yang in front of him, so for Zhou Yang, Zhao Yunhong had a strong interest, a hairy boy can say those words to Jiang Tianming, and the relationship between the two should not be simple.
"Uncle Zhao is polite, Zhao Chuan is a good friend of mine. Zhou Yang responded politely.
At this time, Jiang Tianming came over and greeted Zhao Yunhong warmly, "Director Zhao is here, please come and sit inside, Xiaoyang, help me say hello." ”
Jiang Tianming patted Zhou Yang in Zhao Yunhong's surprised gaze, and then went to other places to greet people.
Zhao Yunhong was suddenly a little puzzled, he was also a department-level cadre in Nanzhou City, and he belonged to the absolute real power faction, Jiang Tianming actually let go of himself and let Zhou Yang entertain, if he said that the other party did not have himself in his eyes, it was absolutely impossible, he could only say that he underestimated the relationship between Zhou Yang and Jiang Tianming.
Then Zhou Yang took Zhao Yunhong and his son directly to the inner courtyard to visit the old man first, Zhao Yunhong is in politics after all, and the congratulatory gifts brought are decent, after Zhao Yunhong finished talking to the old man about his birthday, Zhou Yang led the two of them back to the outer courtyard to take a seat.
Zhao Yunhong silently followed behind Zhou Yang, looking at Zhou Yang's back and constantly guessing what Zhou Yang's identity was, why Jiang Tianming's attitude towards him was so easy-going, as if he was an old friend, and Zhou Yang didn't seem to treat himself as an outsider in Jiang's family, all of which seemed to be completely inconsistent with what he knew about Zhou Yang, or even completely contrary.
A few people came to the table before Zhou Yang again, and at some point, there were already three more people sitting on the table besides Bai Xiaorou, the three of them chatted by themselves, their voices were relatively low, but they just looked at Bai Xiaorou from time to time, and they were probably guessing Bai Xiaorou's identity, after all, the other party's outfit was too incompatible with today's society.
However, when Zhao Yunhong came, the three of them got up to say hello, it seems that several people should be familiar with each other, they are all local leaders in Nanzhou, and then, Zhao Yunhong also joined the ranks of several people chatting.
"Wow, Zhou Yang, this beautiful sister is so beautiful, do you know her?" Zhao Chuan just sat down, and saw Bai Xiaorou sitting next to Zhou Yang, dressed in white fluttering, with long hair and ends, like a fairy descending to earth, and was immediately shocked.
However, Bai Xiaorou peeked at Zhou Yang for a while playing with her mobile phone, and it seemed that she had not yet come out of the previous embarrassment.
"Her name is Bai Xiaorou. Zhou Yang just made a brief introduction, recalling what happened just now, his face began to burn again.
"Bai Xiaorou, hello, my name is Zhao Chuan, Zhou Yang's best friend. Zhao Chuan was much more generous than Zhou Yang, and he took the initiative to say hello without any embarrassment.
Bai Xiaorou raised her head at this time, and responded softly through Zhou Yang, "Hello." She looked like a lady, and then continued to touch her phone, but her eyes still peeked at Zhou Yang from time to time.
The other party's actions were seen by Zhao Chuan, and then he felt that the atmosphere was a little....somewhat ambiguous?
"Damn, Zhou Yang, you kid is not authentic, you don't tell me when you talk about such a beautiful girlfriend. Zhao Chuan concluded the relationship between the two and asked in a low voice.
"Don't talk nonsense, go and go. Zhou Yang hurriedly glared, this Zhao Chuan just didn't have a score, and the embarrassment that was slightly relieved was aggravated by him.
But the other party squeezed his eyebrows and smiled mysteriously, looking like I understood, Zhou Yang's teeth were itchy, and he wanted to punch him to be a panda.
So, on this table, Bai Xiaorou peeked at Zhou Yang for a while, Zhou Yang's old monk fixed his eyes and did not squint, and Zhao Chuan looked back and forth at the two of them and didn't know what to say. On the other hand, with the addition of Zhao Yunhong, the content of several people's chats gradually rose to high-level policy issues, and no one paid attention to these young people at all.
Until an exclamation broke the coldness of Zhou Yang and the three of them.
"Xiaoyang!" Zhou Yang instantly raised his head when he heard the voice, and found that Mu Xinyu was standing not far away with his parents, looking at him in surprise, he didn't expect to meet here.
Mu Xinyu's exclamation attracted the attention of many people, and the young people were once again angry in their hearts, what is the origin of this kid, and why did one after another beauties take the initiative to find him.
Mu Ming and Yang Lan, who were greeting people, heard their daughter's voice, and immediately looked at Zhou Yang in surprise, and the two of them kept wondering why the other party could appear in the Jiang family, is it the Zhou family? The Zhou family can indeed come, but it doesn't seem to have arrived yet, and even if Zhou Weijin and Secretary Zhou bring someone here, he should also bring his own son, isn't Zhou Yang kicked out this time? So who is he coming with?
Subsequently, Mu Ming saw Zhao Yunhong at the table and Zhao Chuan, who was talking to Zhou Yang, and instantly realized that Zhou Yang must have come with Zhao Yunhong's son, which can only be the only explanation.
At this time, Zhao Chuan looked at Mu Xinyu and then at Bai Xiaorou, and looked at Zhou Yang with a wicked smile, "Hehe, Mu Xinyu is here, look at how your kid ends." ”
Zhou Yang was told by Zhao Chuan's big head, and replied angrily, "What are you doing, shut up for me!"
I only heard Zhao Chuan muttering, "I can't take care of idle people, and I can't be idle." Suddenly, Zhou Yang raised his fist and hurriedly begged for mercy, "Okay, okay, I won't say it, I won't say it, hehe"
I didn't notice that Bai Xiaorou's ears on the side suddenly stood up like rabbits, eavesdropping on the conversation between the two.
