As time went by, more and more guests came, and even Fang Yi's table was already full of people, but most of the people who came to the old man's birthday this time were relatives of the Bai family, and he was the oldest old man in the Bai family, and he had not come out yet. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Bai Jingran and his wife, as well as several descendants of the Bai family, including Bai Chuxia, were very busy at this time, and they didn't have time to come over to greet Fang Yi, but Wei Xiaowan was careful and still came over just now.

Originally, Wei Xiaowan wanted to arrange Fang Yi to the table of the outsiders in front of him, but Fang Yi and Wei Mingcheng wanted to hide and were still willing to stay here, so Wei Xiaowan introduced a few people at Fang Yi's table to him and Wei Mingcheng.

At half past six in the evening, the birthday star finally appeared, and the old man Bai, who was over eighty years old, walked into the banquet hall with the support of his granddaughter, and there was a burst of applause in the venue.

Although he is already eighty years old, the old man Bai has a ruddy face, a straight waist, bright eyes, and a loud voice, saying that Bai Chuxia is supporting him, but in fact, he just took his grandfather's arm and walked into the venue with the old man.

The old man is the absolute protagonist of today, and greeted the juniors in the family along the way, and came to the front table chief, there are not many people at this table, only Bai Chuxia's uncle accompanied the two deputy ministers of the ministries and commissions, and when they saw the old man coming, Xu Wu and the two hurriedly greeted him.

After listening to the eldest son's introduction of the identities of the two, Old Man Bai said with a smile: "It's just that the juniors want to get together, why did the two of them come over?"

"Boss Bai's birthday, the two of us are just here to have a cup of birthday wine. ”

Vice Minister Xu's attitude was very respectful, not to mention that the old man was higher than his rank when he retired, not to mention that now the boss of the Bai family is in the Organization Department, which is a place to manage cadres.

"Dad, big brother!" Just as the old man was talking to the two deputy ministers, Bai Jingran suddenly walked over from outside in a hurry.

"What's the matter? By the way, the guests are almost here, so you can come and enter the table." ”

Bai Jingran's eldest brother Bai Jianguo beckoned to his younger brother, he was born a year before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and he only had a milk name at that time, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the old man changed this name to him, which is also a unique mark of their generation, among Bai Jianguo's peers, I don't know how many people have this name.

"Big brother, I'm ...... My father-in-law came. Bai Jingran smiled bitterly, although his voice was deliberately lowered a little, but the few people at this table could hear it clearly.

"What?" The first to react was naturally Bai Jianguo, and then Old Man Bai also raised his head unexpectedly, but the two deputy ministers failed to react for a while.

"Why is my old brother here?"

Hearing the news, Old Man Bai hurriedly stood up and muttered in his mouth: "Sin, what a sin, my old brother is almost ninety, how can I let him come over, Jingran, Jianguo, you two hurry up and go out with me to greet you." ”

"Minister Bai, who is coming?" Seeing that the old man got up and was about to go out, Vice Minister Xu pulled Bai Jianguo and asked.

"It's a well-organized father-in-law. Bai Jianguo looked at Vice Minister Xu with some surprise and said, "Chairman Wei, don't you know?"

Bai Jianguo's title of chairman was the last post held by Wei Delin before his reign, he was the vice chairman in charge of the work of the whole army, and he was also one of the Central Standing Committee members at that time, and he was a real leader of the party and the state.

"Huh, is it Elder Wei?"

Hearing Bai Jianguo's title, the two deputy ministers of Xu and Wu suddenly realized, and hurriedly got up, compared with Wei Delin, the position they hold now is nothing at all, when the old man was in power, they were just young people who had just entered the officialdom.

So after knowing the news that Wei Lao was coming, both of them were excited, don't look at them now, they are also a character, but don't talk about the past, even now, with their level, they can't see Wei Delin.

"What happened?"

"What's the matter, why is the birthday boy going out again?"

"Minister Bai or Xu Wu have gone out with them, what is this for?"

"Are there any important people coming? They're all out to greet them?"

"Hey, what kind of character can work Grandpa Bai out, who has such a big face?"

Seeing the old man hurriedly walking out with his two sons, most of the people in the banquet hall were stunned, it stands to reason that the old man entered the venue, and said a few words, it should be the birthday of the children and grandchildren and then the banquet, but the old man ran out before he came in and didn't speak, which was indeed a bit unexpected.

"Hey, Fang Yi, let's go, let's go out and have a look. Wei Mingcheng, who was originally sitting at the table talking to Fang Yi, saw this scene and hurriedly stood up.

"What's the matter with us? I'm still here. Fang Yi shook his head when he heard this, his gift was still at his feet, the banquet hall was crowded with people at this time, if someone took it away, then it would be a lot of fun today.

"I can't lose it. Wei Mingcheng pulled Fang Yi and said to the person next to him: "Brother, help us take a look at the congratulatory gift, we will come back immediately." ”

The brother Wei Mingcheng shouted is a grandson of Mr. Bai's elder brother on Taiwan Island, and he is also a soldier; although the political parties are different, he and Wei Mingcheng had a very warm conversation just now, and there is no estrangement because of cross-strait relations.

"Brother Wei, is your grandfather here?" When Fang Yi followed Wei Mingcheng out, he had already guessed a few points in his heart, except for Old Man Wei, who could have such a big face to let the chief few people all go out.

"You kid, it's not easy to hide from you. ”

Wei Mingcheng laughed when he heard this, and said: "Didn't I tell you, the matter between you and early summer today will be successful, and if you don't succeed, I will also succeed, I still don't believe that my uncle dares to refuse my grandfather's face!"

Wei Mingcheng's words are full of domineering, in fact, although Bai Jingran dares to complain to Wei Xiaowan at home, but in front of his father-in-law, it is really respectful, even his father, who also has great respect for Wei Delin.

"The old man is here for my business?" Fang Yi was stunned for a moment, he really didn't think of these two things together.

"Not exactly, but a large part of it is because of you. "Wei Mingcheng only learned that his grandfather was coming over in the past few days, for two reasons, one is that Wei Delin wants to make decisions for Fang Yi and his granddaughter to fulfill their pair.

And another reason is that in the past year or so, a lot of things have happened in the Wei family, and the old man showed up to calm the morale of the army and release a signal to the outside, that is, to let those who fell into the well know that he Wei Delin is not dead, and they can't be allowed to mess around.

"Grandpa Wei is so old, why do you still make a special trip for this matter?" Fang Yi was also a little moved when he heard this, he knew that the old man had not appeared in public for more than ten years, and this time the affection was not light.

"Chu Xia is also his granddaughter, and the old man is in a lot of pain. Wei Mingcheng knew some of the reasons why his grandfather came over, but he didn't tell his father about his promotion to general on the phone, and he was also a little apprehensive at this time.

"Brother, it's a real sin that the children gave me a birthday and alarmed you. At this time, Old Man Bai had already greeted Wei Delin in the lobby of the hotel, and the two pairs of hands were somewhat dry together.

At this time, the entire hotel lobby was under martial law, as for the Bai Jianguo brothers and the two deputy ministers Xu Wu, they could only stand behind the guards, except for Old Man Bai and Wei Xiaowan and his wife and Wei Jiaxi, the third son who accompanied the old man, those people were isolated.

"Junsheng, our in-laws haven't seen each other for nearly ten years, right?" Wei Delin's spirit was very good, and he said in a loud voice: "We don't know how long we can live, this time we see each other is one less time, and I have something else to do this time." ”

"Brother, can you just say no to something?"

Old man Bai's character is called Junsheng, and people who are older and familiar with him are called by words, but at his current age, people who can call Junsheng are afraid that they can't even count a slap.

"I can't spread the word about this, I did, and some of the boys are not happy. Wei Delin's eyes swept over the faces of his daughter and son-in-law, and said, "Jingran, isn't that the case?"

"Dad, how could I not be happy. ”

Bai Jingran suddenly smiled bitterly when he heard this, he really didn't expect his father-in-law to be so attentive to that young man, and he actually came to Xingshi on his father's birthday, and he came to ask him about Xingshi.

"Jingran, what's the matter?" Bai Junsheng looked at his son, and his tone was already a little dissatisfied.

"Dad, it's early summer. ”

Bai Jingran looked around, but found that his daughter didn't know where to run, and said immediately: "I got a boyfriend in early summer, and my father is very satisfied, but I haven't seen it before, so I want to see it first, and I didn't say I disagreed." ”

"The person in my brother's picture, do you dare to say that you don't agree?!" Bai Junsheng glared at his son angrily, and said to Wei Xiaowan: "Why don't you tell me about this? I'll call the shots for Chu Xia!"

"Dad, Xiao Fang had something wrong with him last year, so he hasn't come over, and we also want to tell you after we meet. “

In front of the two old men, Wei Xiaowan also helped her husband explain, looked at Wei Jiaxi, and said: "Third brother, you are really, Dad didn't come over and tell me in advance, is it that both of you have been promoted, so you don't need to discuss things with others?"

The Wei family is such a girl as Wei Xiaowan, who has been spoiled by the old man since she was a child, so although in front of the old man and her brother, Wei Xiaowan still dares to speak out, because no matter what she says or does from childhood to adulthood, her brothers will tolerate her.

"Dad's idea, don't lose your temper with me. ”

Although Wei Jiaxi had a hot temper, in front of his sister, he really didn't have anything to do, so he wanted to divert the topic at the moment, "Xiaowan, what did you say that both of you were promoted? Mingcheng's rank of colonel was at the beginning of last year." ”

The Wei family has been in obscurity for more than a year, Wei Jiaxi's two elder brothers have officially retired and the other is in a state of semi-retirement, only Wei Jiaxi has been promoted from major general to lieutenant general, as for the promotion of Wei Mingcheng's school officer, it is not a matter at all in the Wei family, because the most promising one to become a general is Wei Mingcheng's eldest brother.

"Third brother, don't you know about Mingcheng?" Hearing Wei Jiaxi's words, Wei Xiaowan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, before Wei Mingcheng said that the family didn't know about his own affairs, Wei Xiaowan didn't believe it very much, but seeing the third brother's demeanor, this matter didn't seem to be pretended.

"What's the matter? Did that kid get into trouble?"

Wei Jiaxi was also stunned for a moment, but he was not worried about his son getting into trouble, after all, under his own discipline, Wei Mingcheng was still very obedient, and he had been doing things in the army for so many years.

"Third brother, what kind of trouble are you guys making here, you don't even know about such a big thing?" Wei Xiaowan was really dumbfounded, looked at her father, and said, "Dad, you don't know about this either?"

"What's the matter, girl, don't be vague in your speech. Wei Delin glared at his daughter, but he also knew that his daughter was not afraid of him.

"What's the matter? Let Mingcheng tell it himself. Wei Xiaowan turned around and saw Wei Mingcheng who showed his head at the door, beckoned and said, "Mingcheng, come here." ”

"Dad, grandpa!" Seeing that he couldn't hide, Wei Mingcheng could only come over with a hard head, but he didn't forget to pull Fang Yi, with Fang Yi present, grandpa would definitely not smoke himself, as for Dad, it was difficult to say.

"Are you and Xiao Fang here?"

The old man was still looking at his grandson with a smile and greeting Fang Yi at first, but when Wei Mingcheng approached, Wei Delin's face suddenly changed, because he saw the rank on his grandson's shoulder.

"What's going on?"

Wei Delin's face became serious, he was in charge of the work of the whole army in the past, he naturally knew that the promotion from colonel to general was a hurdle that countless soldiers could hardly overcome, and this promotion order also needed to be signed by the chairman of the Military Commission himself, and there were too many serious relationships involved.

So Wei Delin once thought that Wei Mingcheng's military rank was fake, but he also knew that Wei Mingcheng didn't dare to joke about this matter, there must be something he didn't know about it.

Wei Jiaxi was also a little dumbfounded when he saw his son's military rank, from colonel to major general, it took him ten years to do so, and the major generals who were forty miles away were all called the Shaozhuang faction at that time, and how old is his son, it seems that he is not yet thirty years old this year, right?

Not only Wei Delin and his son were dumbfounded, but the three deputy ministers next to him, including Old Man Bai, were also confused by the second monk, originally when Wei Delin did not come, the three deputy ministers were the highest-ranking people in the venue, but they didn't expect that there was still a general in the banquet hall.

"Go to the room and talk. ”

Old Man Wei, who realized the seriousness of the matter, suddenly waved his hand, his eyes glanced at everyone, and said: "Junsheng, Jianguo, Jingran, both of you come in, by the way, Fang Yi, you also come in." ”

Seeing that the group entered a private room of a hotel, Xu Wu and the two who stayed outside looked at each other, with the level and relationship between the two of them, they didn't expect to follow in, but the young man named Fang Yi didn't know who Fang Shen was, and he could actually enter the circle of the two Bai Wei families.

"What's going on!!"

Coming to the room, Wei Delin sat on the seat, staring at Wei Mingcheng, among the several grandsons of the Wei family, he felt that Wei Mingcheng was the most like himself, so although the resources were inclined to the eldest grandson, Wei Delin liked this little grandson the most.

"Grandpa. Wei Mingcheng glanced left and right, his face showed a look of wanting to speak and stopping, although the people in this room were all close relatives, but the matter of joining the hidden group really couldn't be let them know.

"Hmm, what else can't you say to Lao Tzu and Grandpa?" Wei Delin hadn't spoken yet, but Wei Jiaxi couldn't help it, if it weren't for his sister and their family, Wei Jiaxi would immediately let his son know what it means to be old and strong.

"Dad, I really can't say anything about you. Wei Mingcheng smiled bitterly, and without waiting for his Lao Tzu to be angry, his eyes looked at his grandfather and said, "Grandpa, I joined that organization and am an official member. ”

"That organization, what organization?" Wei Delin was stunned for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Is it the organization you couldn't enter before?"

"Grandpa, yes!"

Wei Mingcheng nodded, the conversation between the two seemed to be playing a dumb riddle, and the people next to him were confused, even Wei Jiaxi didn't understand what organization his son had entered, and he could be directly promoted from colonel to general.

"Good, good, good!"

Hearing Wei Mingcheng's words, Old Man Wei couldn't help but say three good words in a row, with his level back then, he could naturally contact the Hidden Group, Wei Mingcheng joined the Hidden Group, for the Wei family, which seems to be a little stormy now, it is definitely good news, at least there will be no suspicion of the Wei family at the top level.

"Dad, what are you talking about?" Wei Jiaxi couldn't help it, and asked, "What organization did he join in Mingcheng?"

His son was naturally happy to become a general, but he racked his brains and couldn't think that just joining an organization could make Wei Mingcheng rise two levels in a row, what kind of organization level would be so high?

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, can you tell you a long time ago, don't you understand organizational discipline?" Wei Delin glanced at his son, with Wei Jiaxi's position and rank, only the old man dared to scold him like this.

"By the way, Mingcheng, didn't you go in last time?" After training his son, Wei Delin suddenly realized that the hidden group was not something that could be entered if he wanted to, but he had never seen a person who was eliminated could enter the hidden group again, which was unprecedented.

"Grandpa, because of Fang Yi, I can be regarded as touching his light. ”

Wei Mingcheng glanced at Fang Yi, a wry smile appeared on his face, he also wanted to straighten his waist and tell his grandfather that he had entered the Hidden Group by his ability, but in fact, without Fang Yi, he didn't even have a chance to contact the Hidden Group again.
