Seeing that it was Qian Lao's car, the doorman immediately let it go, and the convoy entered the vestibule, and after getting out of the car, it passed through the front hall and went straight to a small courtyard in the center of the clubhouse.
Different from the luxurious and modern decoration style outside, the birds here are fragrant, the waterhole is clear, there are a lot of green plants around, and there is enough tall ginkgo biloba surrounded by a person to block the scorching summer sun.
Along the way, Qian Lao kept signaling Yang Xiu and himself to go to the front, and secretly observed the young man's expression.
Whether it is the strict security outside the clubhouse, the luxurious and modern decoration in the courtyard, the beautiful waiters, or this small courtyard like a paradise, Yang Xiu has always been indifferent.
Yang Xiu's eyes showed a faint appreciation, but there was no shock and sigh when others first arrived here, seeing this, Qian Lao was even more sure in his heart, Yang Xiu's background was not ordinary.
Entering a meeting room, there were already two people waiting inside.
"Dad."
"Old money."
The two immediately stood up and greeted Qian Lao with a smile.
The middle-aged man standing a little in front of him looked to be at most forty years old, with black hair, full of energy, his face was not angry and arrogant, and his words were quite imposing.
Yang Xiu felt that this person was a little familiar, and with his title to Qian Lao, it seemed that he should be the current county magistrate of Nantang County, Qian Zhengping.
The other person was a lean man, with an inch head, sharp eyes, and a cold expression, and his simple and simple clothes could not hide the sharpness on his body.
"Well, let me introduce you to you, this is your Uncle Qian, you probably saw it on TV, and the other is Uncle Liu, the captain of the county public security bureau."
Qian Lao pointed at the two of them, then pointed at Yang Xiu, and said with a smile: "This is a little friend I met not long ago, called Yang Xiu." ”
"Uncle Qian is good, Uncle Liu is good."
Yang Xiuluo greeted the two of them generously, but muttered in his heart, it seems that this is a private party, what is Qian Lao bringing me here for?
Qian Zhengping looked at Yang Xiu with some surprise, he thought it was the son of a family, but he didn't expect it to be the old man's personal friend.
That's rare.
Captain Liu's eyes next to him were very direct, looking Yang Xiu up and down, his eyes were full of majesty, and if he was an ordinary high school student, he probably felt weak.
Yang Xiu smiled faintly and met Captain Liu's gaze, and his indifferent temperament made Captain Liu stunned.
"Don't be stunned, let's eat first." Seeing this, Qian Lao smiled and directly beckoned the three of them into the dining room next to him.
A bottle of Wuliangye was brought up, and the meals were served one after another, there were not many delicacies from the mountains and seas, but they were quite exquisite.
Qian Zhengping saw that his father was smiling, obviously in a good mood, so he asked with a smile: "Dad, did you encounter anything good today, you are in such a good mood." ”
"Haha, of course it's a good thing, a great thing~"
Qian Lao nodded when he heard this, and couldn't help but smile: "And this great good thing has something to do with Yang Xiu's little friend." ”
"Oh?" Qian Zhengping is really curious now, it is definitely not a trivial matter to make his father so happy, what does it have to do with this ordinary-dressed teenager?
Even Captain Liu, who had been expressionless, also showed a curious expression, Qian Lao took a bite of the dish, and saw that everyone's appetite was satisfied, so he smiled and said: "Zhengping, Xiao Liu, do you remember the last time I said that I wanted to give the old birthday gift to the old birthday star?" ”
"Of course I do!"
The two of them nodded when they heard this, and there was a trace of solemnity on their faces.
The old leader naturally refers to the current governor of Jiangbei Province, Liao Chunzhi, before Qian Lao personally prepared a statue of Haihuang Shouxing, but found that there was a problem with the wood, so he had no choice but to give up.
Until now, Qian Lao has not found a suitable replacement, so he has been in a bad mood.
"The gift has already arrived,"
Qian Lao said slowly, then brought the wooden box placed on the chair next to him to the table and opened it.
"Huh?"
Captain Liu saw the Antarctic birthday star wood carving in the box, raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Old Qian, isn't this still the same ......?"
Qian Lao nodded and said, "That's right, it's the Haihuang wood carving I carved with my own hands, but now, there is no fungus inside it." ”
"Really?"
Qian Zhengping and Captain Liu glanced at each other, they both couldn't believe it, for this gift, Qian Lao could be said to have scratched his head and tried his best.
Thinking of this, the two of them looked at Yang Xiu, who had been quiet, could it be ......?
"Even if you two react quickly, it is this little friend who helps me repair this wood carving~ You say, is he worthy of my sincere thanks?" Seeing this, Qian Lao said, this is the official introduction of Yang Xiu.
Yang Xiu also knew for the first time, there was this allusion in this, as for who the old birthday star Qian Lao said, Yang Xiu could guess a little.
Hearing what Qian Lao said, Yang Xiu hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Old Qian, if you are so polite, I won't have the face to stay, if it weren't for Qian Lao, you kept your promise and gave it to me, this statue would not have a chance to see the light of day again~"
Qian Lao laughed, even happier, and told Qian Zhengping and Captain Liu how this statue was sent out from Yunqi flowers and trees, and returned to Qian Lao by chance.
After hearing this story, the two couldn't help but look at Yang Xiu differently, especially Yang Xiu was not proud of his merits and was always decent, which was not the bearing that a child of this age should have.
"In this way, my old Liu also has to toast you," Captain Liu picked up the celadon wine glass and looked at Yang Xiu, with a rare smile on his old-fashioned face.
Yang Xiu hurriedly stood up and excused himself, Captain Liu turned his face again, and said: "Young man, if you help Qian Lao, you will help me Lao Liu, if you don't drink this glass of wine, don't you want to admit this love~"
Yang Xiu also saw that this Captain Liu was not aimed at himself, but was born with a poker face, even when talking to Qian Lao.
In desperation, Yang Xiu had no choice but to pick up the wine glass and drink it all before Captain Liu.
With this level of relationship, coupled with Yang Xiu's lack of picking, there is no stage fright between words, and there is no stage fright between words, so naturally the guests and hosts are happy.
Full of wine and food, including Qian Lao, the other three were all slightly drunk, Yang Xiu was keenly aware that this incident made the three of them feel relieved and in a very good mood.
At the banquet, Qian Lao did not shy away from it, and directly stuffed Yang Xiu with two cards, a bank card and a black membership card, with only the words "Farewell Residence" on it
"There are 300,000 in the bank card,"
Qian Lao didn't give Yang Xiu a chance to speak, and said in a tone that could not be refused: "I, Qian Mou, recognize you as a friend, you give me a good wood carving, I naturally have to give it back, but I am not allowed to refuse, the other is the membership card here, it will be convenient for you to come here in the future."
Seeing a trace of hesitation flashing on Yang Xiu's face, Qian Zhengping next to him smiled and said: "The old man rarely says such a thing as making friends, Xiao Yang, you can accept it." ”
The parents spoke, and it would be hypocritical not to accept it, Yang Xiu smiled calmly and put away the two cards.
Qian Lao is a good person, and he is principled in business, and Yang Xiu is willing to make this friend.
It was getting late, Yang Xiu didn't stay long, and Qian Lao asked the driver to send Yang Xiu back to Nantang County.
Waiting for Yang Xiu to leave, Qian Lao and the three of them sat in the living room again, their expressions could not hide their excitement.
"Dad, it's really another village~"
With a relaxed smile, Qian Zhengping glanced at the brown-red wood carving placed on the coffee table, and said, "This birthday gift for Liao Lao can be regarded as a success." ”
The old leader that the three of them said was indeed Qian Lao's former boss, the current governor of Jiangbei Province, Liao Chunzhi!
Qian Lao bowed his head slightly, and let out a long breath.
These days, this matter has been pressing on his heart, which makes Qian Lao feel pressured.
The gift to the old leader should be done to his liking, and it should not be too expensive and violate the principle, so the wood carving made by Qian Lao himself is the most suitable. If it is replaced casually, it will not only make the old leader have ideas, but may even affect his impression in the old leader's heart!
"This Yang Xiu is dressed ordinarily, but he has a good temperament, not like an ordinary child." Captain Liu is a veteran public security officer who is used to thinking about problems from a professional point of view.
Qian Lao nodded and said, "Well, I have observed a few times, and there are some famous nobles in my speech and demeanor. I followed the old leader and met some big families with a long history, and the temperament of the descendants of those famous families is far inferior to this young man~"
"Could it be that he has another background?" Qian Zhengping wondered.
"It doesn't matter, I think this little friend is a principled person, it's enough to win it over,"
Qian Lao thought for a while and said: "There are three months left to celebrate the birthday of the old leader, and this matter is the focus of our concern, and we must not be sloppy!" ”
Qian Zhengping and Captain Liu nodded at the same time.
Liao Lao is 60 years old this year, and if there is no accident, he will leave the leadership position after this term.
Before that, Qian Lao must hurry up and strive to let Qian Zhengping go further.
Qian Zhengping is the county magistrate of Nantang County, the second deputy secretary, with excellent ability, and a good reputation at the upper and lower levels, all he needs is a suitable opportunity and a little luck.
As Liao Lao and Qian Lao gradually grow old, Qian Zhengping is the cornerstone of the Qian family's future, and the Qian family must seize any opportunity.
Nantang County, Yang Xiu's house.
Ji Fanyi held a bank card in each hand, looked left and right, and his delicate little face was full of incredulity: "Brother, what do you mean, the money in these two cards adds up to one million?" ”
Yang Xiu nodded with a smile and said, "The passwords are all the last six digits of the card number, Xiao Fan, you keep it well, what do you usually want to spend money, just take it directly from it." ”
Ji Fanyi's face was incredulous, and he couldn't figure out how his brother became a millionaire in one day?
"If you have money, you can't spend it indiscriminately, and there will be more places to use it in the future,"
However, Ji Fanyi quickly reacted and put himself into the role of a housekeeper's mother-in-law: "In the future, my brother will buy a house, buy a car, and decorate when he gets married, and travel with his sister-in-law...... Ah! It cost so much money to buy me something today, what a waste......"
Seeing Ji Fanyi counting the money with his fingers, Yang Xiu couldn't help but smile, directly pinched Ji Fanyi's little hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, Xiaofan, you can rest assured to spend it, rest assured, my brother will spend the money for you when he earns it, and besides, this is just the beginning, and he will earn more in the future." ”
