Qi Lao's birthday banquet was held in an ordinary big hotel.

Although he has a high reputation in the army and his family background is not bad, he is a man of the army after all. How can you be like those people from big families, who are often in five-star hotels or spend in high-end banquet halls.

If that were the case, he might have been taken away by the Anti-Corruption Bureau before the birthday feast officially began.

However, although the grade of the hotel is not high, there is an endless stream of people who come to celebrate the birthday. Most of these people are from the military, and not only from the Jinling Military Region, but also from several local military regions, including Kyoto, and even some bigwigs from the political circles.

Even Xiao Fan was a little surprised, the people who came to celebrate his birthday this time were filled with a hundred tables, and the hall couldn't fit it, so they were all placed in the open air. Although it is not counted, there are at least six or seven hundred people, and such a pomp is unprecedented.

Even some minor officials who didn't know Qi Lao at all, or some lower-level cadres in the army came. Of course, the purpose of their visit was not to congratulate them on their birthdays, but to take advantage of this opportunity to get to know some bigwigs at the banquet and establish good relations, so that they could have a better path in the military and political circles in the future.

In today's Chinese society, it is nothing more than human affection and all kinds of relationships.

"What the ......"

Qi Lao was dressed in formal clothes today, standing outside the table and looking at the people who were still coming to celebrate his birthday, his face turned green, but when he thought of his own identity, he couldn't afford to burst into foul language.

"I didn't invite so many people at all, where did all these people come from!"

"Lao Tzu is all spent on my own savings, so many people come, how much money do I have to make Lao Tzu? I'm afraid that most of my life's savings will be lost......

Qi Lao said, his body trembled, if it wasn't for Song Zhuo to support him, he would almost sit on the ground.

"Elder Qi, happy birthday, I wish you a long life!"

At this time, Xiao Fan and Xiao Dingyan rushed to the hotel, saw the figures of Qi Lao and Song Zhuo, and walked straight over.

"It's Xiao Fan, Old Man Xiao, you're here too!" Old Qi saw someone coming, and he hurriedly settled down and stepped forward.

"How could I not come to your old guy's 80th birthday, Lao Tzu hasn't seen you come to congratulate me on my birthday after more than a dozen birthdays. Xiao Dingyan scolded with a smile.

He and Qi Lao have never dealt with each other, as long as they meet, they are either noisy or noisy.

"Isn't this busy, now that I have abdicated, I will come to congratulate you on your birthday every year in the future, and I can congratulate you until you die. Qi Lao said, hehe smiled.

"You ......"

Xiao Dingyan was so angry that he wanted to return the favor. Xiao Fan was afraid that the two would quarrel on such an occasion, so he hurriedly handed over his birthday gift to Qi Lao.

"Elder Qi, this is the birthday gift that my grandfather and grandson picked for you, are you satisfied with it?"

Qi Lao took the thing and looked at it, it was a pure golden longevity peach weighing ten catties, with this amount, according to the current market price of gold, this longevity peach would cost at least about two million.

"My God......" Qi Lao's hands trembled a little, and his eyes were straight, this was probably the most valuable gift he had received today.

"Xiao Fan, you are too expensive, how can I be embarrassed to accept such a valuable gift!" Qi Lao said with a trembling mouth.

"Elder Qi, you can accept it with peace of mind, look at your guests today, this banquet will cost a lot of money. Xiao Fan smiled.

"Haha, okay! It's hard to resist the hospitality, then I'll accept it, you grandparents and grandchildren will go in first and take a seat, and there will be a few big leaders coming later, and I have to meet them here." ”

After Xiao Fan's grandfather and grandson walked on the front foot, Qi Lao whispered to Song Zhuo:

"Find a reliable store and sell my pure gold longevity peach, fortunately, Xiao Fan's kid sent me such a big gift, otherwise I wouldn't have the money to settle the bill when the banquet is over." ”

"Okay, I'll do it later. Song Zhuo looked at the ten-pound pure golden longevity peach, and he was a little uneasy, such a valuable congratulatory gift, I am afraid that only people like Xiao Fan who don't treat money as money can get it.

Entering the banquet, it was almost full, Xiao Fan and Xiao Dingyan didn't see any vacant seats from beginning to end, and after waiting for a while, the hotel staff moved out a few more tables and set them down.

"Qi Lao's connections are really wide, this pomp and circumstance is more than enough to pull out for a fight. After sitting down, Xiao Fan couldn't help but say.

It wasn't long before the empty tables that had just been moved out were already filled.

"Hehe, don't look at the crowds, in fact, there are most of them, even Old Man Qi himself doesn't know him. To put it bluntly, these people are not here to celebrate their birthdays at all, but to take this opportunity to establish their own connections. Xiao Dingyan has gone through the world, and he has long been familiar with these things.

As they sat here, they could hear the voices of the people around them flattering each other.

For these people and these voices, Xiao Fan just shook his head and smiled faintly.

At this time, a group of people walked this way, and the direction they came from was Xiao Fan's table, because the other tables were almost full, and there were only two or three seats left in one table.

"Two, if it's convenient for you to find another seat over there, there are so many of us that we can't sit there. The group walked here, and one of the old men said to Xiao Dingyan very kindly.

The old man was not old, he looked to be in his early fifties, and his hair was half black and half white.

Except for him, the others are all middle-aged men, and judging by their dress and aura, they should all be people in high positions, but their temperament is somewhat elegant, and they are probably people in politics.

"Inconvenient. Xiao Ding's words were concise and to the point, and he didn't look at the old man.

He is also a temperamental person, and if you want to say that he is usually very kind to people, but what kind of person is that? The tone of his speech to this old man was obviously like a big leader ordering his subordinates.

It must have been in a high position for a long time, and he was used to calling his subordinates, and he was very unhappy with an old man who used this tone.

When the old man heard this, his face suddenly froze, and his face became a little gloomy. He is the big leader of a city next to Jinling City, and he is usually respected and held, and no one has ever dared to speak to him like this.

And an ordinary old man in this area doesn't take him to heart so much, and he can't get off the stage in front of so many people, so what's the deal?

"Old man, you and this little brother should change seats, there are many of us, and we are all friends, so can't you make it convenient for us?" A middle-aged man was a little unhappy when he saw Xiao Dingyan's posture.

are all mixed high-level, why is this old man so faceless, and he has no eyesight.

"If you don't change, you can sit if you want, if you don't sit down, go and squat over there, and wait for the waiter to carry a table for you. Xiao Dingyan sat upright, drinking tea by himself. Don't even look at those people.

"The old man is quite funny...... Xiao Fan didn't speak on the side, seeing the old man like this, he just secretly felt funny.

"Old Sun, look at this old man, he is really a little stubborn, or let's ask the waiter to carry the table out again, don't worry about this old man. The middle-aged man whispered to the old man.

"Hehe, I have to sit here today, and you all have to sit here. I want to see what this old man is doing, and he dares me to go and squat next to him!" the old man sat down and looked at Xiao Dingyan.

When the others saw this, they couldn't sit or stand, after all, this was not their own territory, and today was Qi Lao's birthday, and they didn't want to make trouble.

But among this group of people, this person named Sun Lao was the largest, and they didn't dare not listen, so they had to sit down one by one. However, after the seat was full, there were still two people who had no place, so they could only stand behind the old Sun, slightly embarrassed.

"Old man, looking at your temperament, don't you look like a person in the officialdom who has been a soldier?" asked in a somewhat disdainful tone.

"When I was young, I was a soldier and a soldier, but now I am not, eating at home and waiting for death. Xiao Dingyan glanced at him and said lightly.

"Oh, veteran, what was your position in the army?" he asked again.

"The heroes don't mention the courage of the year, there are no big positions, they are all for the army and the country, and I will do whatever the boss tells me to do. Xiao Dingyan said flatly.

When he was in the army, he served as a theater commander, a division commander in peacetime, a lieutenant general when he had the highest military rank, and he made countless military medals.

It's just that these are already in the past, and he doesn't want to show off, let alone show off in front of this kind of person.

However, when Sun Lao heard what Xiao Dingyan said, he thought that his position was really too low, and he was embarrassed to say it, so he said it so modestly, and suddenly became even more disdainful.

If this old man had a high position in the army before, it would not be a big deal if he apologized. After all, no matter how high his position is, he must have abdicated for a long time now, and if he offends, he will be offended.

But if he doesn't have any position at all, then he doesn't have to worry about anything, even if he gets rid of him, he won't be able to let out any fart.

"Then you can vacate your position, everyone here is a high authority, and you can't afford to offend. That Sun Lao was not subtle at all, and threatened directly.

"Then what if I don't vacate it, what can you do with me?" Xiao Dingyan heard this, not angry, but laughed, and looked at him with interest.

"Then I'm afraid you and your family won't be happy, why do you say this?"

"You are such a great official!" Xiao Fan finally couldn't help the anger of this old man, and looked at him coldly:

"Are you an official or a bandit, which place and department?"
