Chapter 60: The Jaw-dropping Banquet
"Oh, is it? Okay, a class is good, you will help each other in the future, just like me and your father, support each other, and the friendship will last forever! County Magistrate Zhao smiled with some surprise, "My girl hasn't mentioned this to me, and she doesn't like to talk to me about her own affairs." ”
Xia Yao smiled and didn't speak, and then Xia Guohang answered, "County Magistrate Zhao, today is your daughter's birthday dinner, you can have a few more drinks in a while, or I won't let you go." ”
"Boom!!" Xiao Qiang only felt as if a bomb had been detonated in his head, and it was blank in an instant! He heard clearly just now that Xia Guohang actually said that today...... Is it the birthday dinner of County Magistrate Zhao's daughter?
Zhao Qingyan's surname is Zhao, and County Magistrate Zhao is also surnamed Zhao, and Xia Yao said that she is in the same class as County Magistrate Zhao's daughter! Almost instantly, Xiao Qiang couldn't help but show a look of shock that he couldn't help laughing and crying, and secretly scolded himself for being really stupid, it turned out that County Magistrate Zhao was Zhao Qingyan's father!
After thinking about it carefully, Xiao Qiang immediately understood, no wonder when Yu Hai's gangsters chased them that day, Zhao Qingyan would call her uncle Secretary Wang to come and solve the siege! The relationship that Secretary Wang is not her uncle at all, but her father's subordinate! No wonder, no wonder, no wonder Secretary Wang dared to reprimand the police so much at that time, because his immediate boss was Zhao Qingyan's father!
Thinking that he was still wondering why Zhao Qingyan's parents didn't come out to entertain the guests just now, his face suddenly turned a little red......
"Haha, no problem, no problem, I'm going to have two punches with Lao Xia in a while, we haven't been happy for a long time!" After County Magistrate Zhao finished speaking, he fell on Xiao Qiang's body, smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "You are Comrade Xiao Qiang, right?" Hehe, welcome to my daughter's birthday party. ”
"Oh? County Magistrate Zhao, do you know Xiao Qiang? Xia Guohang was a little surprised, after all, he didn't expect that the dignified deputy county magistrate would be familiar with a senior high school student.
"It's more than understanding! This time, something went wrong in the jade factory, if it weren't for Comrade Xiao Qiang's help, there would be trouble! County Magistrate Zhao said with a smile, "Besides, he and my daughter are friends and have a good relationship, and my daughter invited him to the banquet." ”
Xiao Qiang was shocked, and he was obviously a little scared at the moment. After all, he is facing Zhao Qingyan's father, and he is also a dignified county magistrate-level figure! At this time, he understood again, no wonder the county magistrate Zhao who was in the jade factory at that time suddenly adopted his suggestion, it seems that Secretary Wang should have told him about himself and Zhao Qingyan being trapped.
"County Magistrate Zhao, thank you and your daughter for the invitation, I ...... I'm a little embarrassed to bother. Xiao Qiang stammered a little when he spoke, he really didn't expect Zhao Qingyan's identity to be so noble, far beyond his imagination! The daughter of the dignified deputy county magistrate was so low-key, and no one at school knew her family background, which really caught Xiao Qiang off guard.
"Qingyan called you here, naturally she regards you as a friend, don't be presumptuous, it's our Zhao family's honor that you can come!" County Magistrate Zhao patted Xiao Qiang's shoulder, said this with a smile, and said to Xia Guohang again, "Old Xia, accompany me to greet other guests, I will take you to meet some people related to the antique and jade world in Yongan County." ”
Looking at the back of Zhao Qingyan's parents and Xia Guohang leaving, Xiao Qiang was still in a daze. At this time, a small hand shook in front of his eyes, and Xia Yao whispered over with a playful smile, "How is it?" Was it shocked to know the identity of Zhao Qingyan's parents? Oh? Why is your face so bad? I remember that you seem to like Zhao Qingyan very much, maybe you want to retreat, right? ”
Xiao Qiang turned his head and glanced at Xia Yao, and said with some dissatisfaction, "You already know the identity of Zhao Qingyan's parents, don't you?" ”
"Yes and what? You don't seem to have asked me, did you? Xia Yao seemed to be very happy to see Xiao Qiang eating deflated, and smiled with a pretty face, "Besides, you like to help Zhao Qingyan so much, how have you ever faced me at the same table?" ”
"You ......" Xiao Qiang was a little angry in his heart, but he couldn't say why. Indeed, it seemed that Xia Yao really had no obligation to tell him about Zhao Qingyan's life experience, so he couldn't help but snort coldly, "Yes, I admit that I like Zhao Qingyan, so what?" Don't worry, I know how big a gap I am with her, even if Zhao Qingyan's family background is prominent, this is not an excuse for me to retreat! I'm still young, and I still have a chance! ”
"Opportunity? Hehe, I advise you, don't be stupid! Xia Yao rolled her eyes and said, "Do you know why Zhao Qingyan asked you to attend today's birthday party?" ”
"Why?" Xiao Qiang looked at Xia Yao with some puzzlement, could it be that this little girl really knows everything? How do you feel like you're being kept in the dark?
"Since you've come here, you'll know in a while, and I'm going to say now how can I see the truth of the facts." Xia Yao said this and said with a smile, "Xiao Qiang, if I were you, let's prepare our minds as soon as possible!" Zhao Qingyan, it's not as simple as you think! ”
"That's better than if you only know how to calculate!" Xiao Qiang retorted angrily, but there was always a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart.
Xia Yao glared at Xiao Qiang, then ignored him, picked up a glass of juice from the dining table next to him and drank it slowly. Xiao Qiang sat silently on the chair in the corner, staring at the dignitaries chatting with each other in the restaurant in front of him, this kind of high-class banquet made him strange and out of place.
At this time, Xiao Qiang inevitably had a deep sense of powerlessness, at this moment, he had never wanted to be respected so much! And to get the recognition of these upper-class people, the only way to make yourself richer and more powerful!
"Look, County Magistrate Yang is here!" "Wow, isn't that Yang Shao? So handsome!! "Hurry up, County Magistrate Yang and Yang Shao are here, let's hurry up and go to say hello first, it's too late!"
For a while, there was a commotion in the banquet hall, and the crowd crowded towards the gate. Xiao Qiang glanced at Xia Yao, who was still drinking juice on the side, and said, "It looks like a big man is coming, why don't you go to greet him?" ”
"I'm a student, is it necessary to shoot other people's ass?" When Xia Yao said this, she glanced in the direction of the gate, and a trace of disgust flashed in her beautiful eyes, "Do you think everyone is like you, stupidly going to moths to fight fires?" ”
"Hey, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by my stupid moth to the fire? Xiao Qiang was a little angry when he heard this, and when he was about to say something more, he saw the crowd gradually crowding towards the hall from the gate, and the one who was surrounded in the middle was a middle-aged man with a smiling Chinese face, and he was very familiar with the young and handsome guy who followed him, isn't it Yang Shao Yang Yisheng who else will be!
"This ...... This Yang Yisheng's father ...... Also a county magistrate? Xiao Qiang looked at Xia Yao next to him in surprise, "Isn't he a businessman?" ”
"Merchant? Hehe, who stipulated that the son of the county magistrate could not do business? There's so much more you don't know! Xia Yao glanced at Xiao Qiang, and when she saw him looking confused, she couldn't help but snort softly, "His father's name is Yang Guangrong, and he is the county magistrate of Yongan County, and Zhao Qingyan's father, Zhao Guozhi, had a good relationship with the Yang family when he was still a section chief in Ninghai City. ”
"You say...... The relationship between the Yang family and the Zhao family is very good? Xiao Qiang couldn't help but be a little worried, and couldn't help but worry, "That's troublesome, I offended Yang Yisheng several times, if County Magistrate Zhao knew about this......"
Xia Yao glanced at Xiao Qiang as if she was looking at an idiot, and couldn't help but say loudly, "Xiao Qiang, sometimes I really feel that you are like a frog at the bottom of a well, and you are not afraid of breaking your head and bleeding if you want to break into a completely unfamiliar world." To put it mildly, you are nothing at all in the eyes of others, do you think Yang Yisheng will tell this kind of trivial matter to County Magistrate Zhao? I'm afraid it will only lose his value, right? ”
