Ge Huaiyuan has been out of politics for many years, and with his qualifications, even when he reaches the age of retirement, the top brass in Huaxia actually don't want him to retire like this. However, he may have been tired of it, refused to be retained by all parties, and began to recuperate early.

The courtyard on Wangfu Street, which is said to be the residence of the prince of the previous dynasty, was too large, and later some rectifications were carried out to divide it into six or seven courtyards. The kind of courtyard where Lei Xiaofan's family is located is just one of the relatively small courtyards. And the old man of the Ge family lives, although there is still a big gap with the title of Wangfu, but there is also a three-entry courtyard. In a place like the capital, where every inch of land is valuable, it is not easy.

Ge Huaiyuan was no longer in his position, and his two children, one was a university professor and the other was an engineer, and they were not in a high position in China like other families. And it is said that the courtyard where he lives now is only a place arranged by the state for him to retire, and it is not the real property of the Ge family. To put it bluntly, he is actually an ordinary old man now, whether it is status or financial resources, he is nothing in the circle of the capital.

But for his 70th birthday, there were still many people who came, and the status of the people who came was not low. Who can really regard a figure like him as an ordinary old man? Even if he doesn't want to pay attention to it, there are still many people who are tempted by his profound political resources.

On the one hand, these people want to show their faces in front of Ge Huaiyuan, hoping to gain his favor, be able to operate from time to time, and inherit his political resources. In the capital, this kind of thing is not uncommon. Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and there are many old people who were in high positions back then, but their descendants are unwilling to take this road again. And those old people who are dedicated to paving the way for their younger generations are helpless, so they will choose a person who can be sincerely entrusted to cultivate them with their hearts. I hope that after this person inherits his political resources, he will be able to take care of his descendants.

In everyone's opinion, this is the case with the Ge family, and over the years, they have never heard of Old Man Ge favoring anyone more, so everyone feels that he has not yet selected the right person. More importantly, Ge Huaiyuan's granddaughter is twenty-one years old this year and is not yet married. This gives everyone more hope, even if Ge Huaiyuan is hesitating, if he is favored by his granddaughter Ge Lingfei, Ge Huaiyuan, who is a relative of the next generation, should always take care of one or two, right?

Ye Qinghan didn't come early or late, and he didn't bring anyone with him if he had the heart to see the style of the capital. Walking alone in the bustling capital, it took more than an hour to arrive at Ge's house.

showed the invitation card that Ye Junsheng had handed over to him last night, and the two people guarding the door in security uniforms glanced at his face a few times in surprise, but they didn't stop him. The two courtyards in front of and behind the Ge family were already overcrowded, and many people who were prominent at first glance kept greeting acquaintances, and if various titles were placed elsewhere, they could also scare many people.

Not long after entering the door, Ye Qinghan heard a slightly arrogant scolding behind him. glanced back and saw the two security guards blocking the door to check the invitation, with red faces and red ears, lowered their heads, and let in a few arrogant people at the door. After thinking about it for a while, Ye Qinghan understood. There should have been only a few people who the old man really invited, but these people didn't know where they got the news and flocked to it. The two security guards at the door are ordinary small characters, once the person who comes to report his name, even if there is no invitation, how dare he stop it?

Thinking of the surprised eyes of the two security guards when he came in, Ye Qinghan was a little amused. He, the person who came to pay homage with an invitation, has become an outlier today!

Ye Qinghan's guess was accurate, the Ge family didn't expect so many people to suddenly rush over, and they were in a hurry for a while. The courtyard was bustling with guests, and they couldn't do anything to receive them. One year of scholarly anger, the middle-aged man with thick myopic glasses should be Ge Shengli, the eldest son of Old Man Ge, and he expressed his apologies to the guests who walked in front of him with a slight wooden expression. In the cold winter, his forehead is still slightly sweaty, which shows that he is also a little helpless.

"Chu Guohao and Chu Gongzi of Longshun Group have arranged seats and snacks for everyone, let us go, we can put things on the table!" There was the roar of a big truck at the door, and then several shouts with showing off sounded at the door, and a group of people rushed in from the door carrying a long table.

Rows of long tables were put together in a long strip in the courtyard, after a festive red tablecloth was spread. All kinds of delicate snacks are also constantly put on the table, and there are some festive scenes in the courtyard.

"Xiao Chu is still so good at things!"

"This kid is quite quick to see the opportunity, this hand is beautiful! Old Man Ge should take a look up at him!"

"I heard that this kid has been pursuing Ge Lingfei for a long time, if you don't show it at this time, when will you wait?"

"Opportunistic and grandstanding! The granddaughter of the Ge family, where can a vulgar person like him covet it? The more he stalks, the more Ge Lingfei probably looks down on him! Where are the girls nowadays so easy to coax!"

There are many voices of praise, but more people are hostile to the personable Chu Guohao. Those people said that they were disdainful, but in fact, they were really annoyed in their hearts, and they were annoyed that they didn't think of seizing such an opportunity to gain the favor of the Ge family!

The seats that are quite comfortable to sit on are neatly arranged in the two courtyards, and although it is still cold in the courtyard, the guests who came to congratulate finally have a place to sit. Several young people who looked like waiters were also brought by Chu Guohao, who were shuttling back and forth among the crowd, delivering food and drinks to the guests.

Ye Qinghan found a corner place to sit down casually, leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes to recuperate. He didn't know anyone here, and he didn't have any idea of who he was talking to. In his opinion, this trip was just to complete the task given to him by Ye Junsheng, and when there were fewer people in the main courtyard, he would send the congratulatory gifts he had prepared and he could leave.

In the circle of Beijing, most people still have some eyesight. I saw that there were so many guests in the courtyard, and all of them reported their identities were very prominent. Those who felt that there was not much hope, gave out the congratulatory gifts they had prepared with interest, and quietly withdrew.

After just over half an hour, most of the people in the courtyard were gone, and when I looked up, there were only twenty or thirty people still staying here. Ye Qinghan got up and stretched, and walked towards the main hall.

"Don't be in a hurry, I've already invited all the chefs who know how to hug you. Old man Ge has a big birthday, wouldn't it be a pity to leave without eating the longevity peach?" A handsome young man wearing a black mink fur collar double-breasted medium long wool coat greeted warmly while walking in from outside with a dozen cooks.
