Chapter 599: Dinner Party
At the beginning of the dinner, everyone sat down at a long square table!
Duan Zhengyang sat in the center, Duan Bei and his wife Lin Shi were on the left, and then some other relatives, all of whom were also in the system, all of them held real power. On the right-hand side, Qin Yan was in the first place, followed by Duan Wan'er, then Duan Wan'er's uncle Lin Dong, and other important figures of the Lin family.
Except for Duan Hongyi, who was on a business trip abroad, and the head of the Lin family, Duan Zhengyang's in-law Lin Yue, almost all the important people were present. It shows how much Duan Zhengyang attaches importance to Qin Yan.
Although Duan Zhengyang didn't know Qin Yan's true identity, just the fact that Qin Yan was the leader of the Heavenly Punishment was enough for him to value. What's more, from the conversation of the Root Dragon King, some clues could be vaguely heard, knowing Qin Yan's identity was not just as simple as the leader of the Heavenly Punishment.
Being able to open up the world and create the foundation of the Duan family today without any foundation shows Duan Zhengyang's ability and means. Such a person, it is definitely an old fox, and he can naturally know Qin Yan from the words and deeds of the Dragon King.
"I'll introduce it to you. This is Qin Yan, who is also Wan'er's future husband, and a miracle doctor who is unparalleled in the world. Duan Zhengyang's brief introduction didn't seem to want to tell him anything about Qin Yan's identity.
"Divine Doctor?" everyone was stunned. No matter how good Qin Yan's medical skills are, he is only a doctor after all, how can he be worthy of Duan Wan'er? Where is he qualified to be so valued by Duan Zhengyang? It's just that Duan Zhengyang introduced it like this, and they couldn't ask questions.
Lin Shi also swept her gaze from Qin Yan in surprise, judging from her countless eyes, she believed that Qin Yan was definitely not as simple as a doctor, and the powerful momentum that burst out of his body was definitely not something that an ordinary doctor could have. Then he turned his head to look at Duan Bei beside him, who smiled wryly and didn't say much.
Since Duan Zhengyang introduced it like this, he couldn't say anything, so he could only tell Lin Shi after the banquet was over.
"I know that you are from Anhui, so I specially invited a master of Hui cuisine to come over, hoping that it can suit your taste. Duan Zhengyang looked at Qin Yan, his eyes full of appreciation. The intention of wooing is obvious, no matter what his identity is, just because he can be so valued by the Dragon King, Duan Zhengyang also knows that he must not neglect him.
Although Duan Wan'er and Qin Yan already had a close relationship, this was not enough to maintain the cornerstone of the permanent cooperation between the Duan family and Qin Yan. Of course, if Qin Yan really married Duan Wan'er, it would be a real family, so it would be another matter.
"It doesn't have to be so troublesome, it's just simple. Qin Yan's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant. Even in the face of Duan Zhengyang, Qin Yan did not have the slightest low state. In the eyes of the master of the Heavenly Gate, all living beings are ants!
The Duan family may not have had such a grand gathering for a long time, and soon put aside Qin Yan's identity as an outsider, and chatted very happily. Two or three in groups, head to ear. Only Lin Dong kept his head down and ate, rarely spoke, and his face was gloomy. The weight of his eyes flashed with a hint of gloom, which made Qin Yan feel very uncomfortable. As Lin Shi's younger brother, he is also the successor of the Lin family's future wealth, but this person's cold performance seems to make people feel narrow-minded.
It seems that this so-called harmony is not as simple as it seems. Since ancient times, the ruthless imperial family, such a family, is often full of struggles of interests, fratricidal brothers, sisters fighting, and lacking the harmony of ordinary families.
Duan Zhengyang didn't ask Qin Yan about the purpose of coming to Yanjing, and talked mostly about gossip. First, because the occasion is not suitable to talk about this, and secondly, because he wants to get closer to Qin Yan.
By the time the dinner was over, it was already past nine o'clock in the hotel. Everyone also got up and said goodbye and left with a drunken spirit, and no one had a relationship with Qin Yanpan, because there was no chance. Before leaving, Lin Dong's gaze swept over Qin Yan. When Qin Yan's gaze met him, Lin Dong hurriedly looked away and left in a hurry.
Qin Yan's brows furrowed slightly, and he was surprised in his heart, this Lin Dong seemed to be hostile to him, which made him a little puzzled.
"What's wrong?" Duan Wan'er leaned into Qin Yan's ear and asked softly.
"There's something strange about your uncle. Qin Yan smiled faintly and said.
Duan Wan'er was stunned and said, "He's like this, he doesn't like to talk much, and he looks very gloomy." Even when I went to his house during the New Year's holidays, his attitude was very cold. Don't take it personally. ”
Qin Yan nodded and said no more. However, I didn't agree with Duan Wan'er's flower in my heart, if I just didn't like words, I would definitely not look at myself like that. It seems that this Lin Dong still has a lot of secrets, but no matter what happens to him, Qin Yan doesn't want to delve into it.
"Let's go to the study and talk. Duan Zhengyang glanced at Qin Yan, turned his gaze to Duan Bei, and motioned for him to come over as well.
Then he looked at Duan Wan'er, told her to make a few cups of tea, and went straight upstairs.
The study room is very classical, antique, and there are more books on the shelves. Most of them are books on history, politics, and biographies. Of course, compared to the collection of books in the Tianmen Library Pavilion, it is simply not worth mentioning.
After a while, Duan Wan'er came up with tea. Duan Zhengyang waved his hand and motioned for her to go out. Duan Wan'er didn't say much, turned around and left, and closed the door with her hand.
"Taste it, I asked a friend to bring Pu'er from Yunnan. Duan Zhengyang said.
Qin Yan took a sip, his mouth was bitter, but there was a unique fragrance.
"What is the matter with this visit to Yanjing, right? You have helped us a lot, and it is time for us to reciprocate. Say, is there anything we need help with? I'll do my best. Duan Zhengyang got straight to the point.
"It's because of the matter of the two families. The Duan family has lived in Yanjing for a long time, so they should be no strangers to the Shui Yan family, right?" Qin Yan said.
"Shuiyan two?" Duan Bei couldn't help but be stunned, and said, "These two have a lot of power in Yanjing City, and they almost monopolize the catering industry in Yanjing. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the two of them made a lot of meritorious contributions, and the country also attached great importance to them, and they also had a good relationship with many government officials. However, they did not do anything against the law. Are you looking for them?"
"Have they had a lot of conflicts recently?" Qin Yan asked without answering.
"Yes. Because the competition in the catering industry is also fierce, both of them have been competing with each other and do not give in to each other. Originally, both parties had a tacit agreement not to open a branch near each other's hotel. However, recently, for some reason, they have opened branches near each other's stores, and the competition has been fierce, which has led to a lot of conflicts. There have also been many fights, but there were no casualties, and the local police station came forward to mediate. Duan Bei said.
