Chapter 942: A Huge Family
At this time, Ye Tianlong's No. 1 car of the Provincial Party Committee came over, the window glass rolled down, Ye Tianlong showed his head, and said with a smile: "Zetao, get in the car, today is a family banquet, there are no outsiders except my family, you don't want to see it, it's boring to be too restrained......", and at this time, Shu Danming was standing by the window of the office, looking at Duan Zetao through the glass and getting into Ye Tianlong's car, and a fine light flashed in his eyes.
Ye Tianlong's No. 1 car of the provincial party committee did not stop in the urban area of Yuezhou, but went out of the city and directly got on the highway, Duan Zetao was a little surprised: "Brother Tianlong, where is this going?!" ......", Ye Tianlong saw that Duan Zetao had really changed his name according to the previous agreement, and a knowing smile appeared on his face, and he smiled and said: "The old man thinks that the air in Guangdong is not good, and he has lived in Guiyuan in Zhenxi during this time, but fortunately, it is not far from Yuezhou to Zhenxi, and it is more than an hour's drive away, and it is convenient for us to take care of it, so it is up to him to ...... old man."
Guiyuan is a resort center with Chinese garden style, where the trees are shady, the environment is quiet, the pavilions and pavilions are dotted among them, in the west of Shenzhen, which is full of high-rise buildings in the modern city quite a bit of paradise, but here is very mysterious to the citizens of Zhenxi, and is not open to the public, you can not even find the mark on the map, there are armed police standing guard at the gate 24 hours a day, managed by the reception office of the Zhenxi Municipal Party Committee, specially receiving superior leaders, when the chief designer lived here during the southern tour, Obviously, Ye Tianlong chose to feast Duan Zetao here, and he also put a lot of thought into it.
Duan Zetao saw the old man Ye in a wheelchair, this legendary old man who has a great influence in western Guangdong Province and does not think of a second person is already ninety years old, his hair has long been white, his face and hands are already covered with age spots, and his eyelids are drooping, showing his old age.
However, for this old man, Duan Zetao is still full of respect, Western Guangdong Province can have today, he is indispensable, even now, he still has an influence on the land of Western Guangdong that cannot be underestimated, although he has long been out of the world, and has faded out of people's sight for a long time, but when he is mentioned, Western Guangdong people will still be in awe.
Duan Zetao bowed respectfully to Old Man Ye and shouted, "Hello chief, your old man is in good health!" ......", but Old Man Ye didn't react at all, Ye Tianlong smiled apologetically at Duan Zetao, pointed to his ear, and told him that the old man's ears were deaf and couldn't hear, and he hurriedly stepped forward, leaned over and said loudly in Old Man Ye's ear: "Dad, this is the Duan Zetao I told you, he came to see your old man's ......."
Old Man Ye slowly raised his head at this time, stretched out his finger at Duan Zetao tremblingly, and said with a smile: "Ah, Duan Zetao?!" Old Xiao's family? I know you, you're good! ......", Duan Zetao hurriedly took out the sandalwood box containing the agarwood bracelet that had been prepared and handed it over, and said respectfully: "Thank you for the compliment, this is my little care, a string of agarwood bracelets, the agarwood can be calmed down when smelled, and it is good for the body, I wish you a long life than Nanshan, and a healthy ......."
"Zetao, you're too outward, just come, what else do you give?! ......", Ye Tianlong nodded Duan Zetao with his finger and said with a smile, but he still took the sandalwood box for Old Man Ye, opened the wooden box and took out the agarwood bracelet inside, and handed it to Old Man Ye.
"Good! Good! Old Man Ye's eyes lit up, he took the bracelet and put it on the end of his nose and smelled it, he couldn't put it down and played with it, and even said yes, Ye Tianlong, who was standing behind him, gave Duan Zetao a thumbs up, and his evaluation of Duan Zetao in his heart was a little higher, just from the small matter of giving gifts, it can be seen that Duan Zetao is cautious and considers everything about things.
At this time, a staff member came over to inform that the banquet was ready to be seated, Ye Tianlong personally pushed Old Man Ye's wheelchair and beckoned Duan Zetao to come to the banquet hall, the other family members of the Ye family were already waiting there, and when they saw them coming in, they quickly stood up.
Seeing the Ye family, Duan Zetao was taken aback, the Ye family is worthy of being the largest family in western Guangdong, there are thirty or forty people waiting in the banquet hall, this is only the immediate family of the Ye family, and some of the immediate family members have not been able to rush back in the field, if the immediate family and collateral relatives are coming, it is estimated that this huge banquet hall may not be able to accommodate it.
Ye Tianlong introduced the main members of the Ye family to Duan Zetao, and the surprise in Duan Zetao's heart was even worse, Old Man Ye's father, that is, Marshal Ye, had three sons and three daughters, and also adopted an adopted daughter, Old Man Ye was the eldest son, and when it came to Ye Tianlong's generation, the number of people was even larger, and their spouses were mostly descendants of the big family, all of whom were famous figures.
The Ye family has always deliberately kept a low profile, and outsiders don't know much about their family members, but in fact, the Ye family has a very amazing influence in the political, military and business circles, especially in western Guangdong, no one can take it lightly.
The reason why Ye Tianlong set up a family banquet to entertain Duan Zetao and introduced the core members of his family to him was actually to show Duan Zetao the huge family power of the Ye family, so that he could see the situation clearly and stand on his side, but Duan Zetao had already been ordered by Zhao Xiangyang, and after seeing the huge family power of the Ye family, he was even more vigilant.
The family banquet of a big family like this is actually very boring, thirty or forty people sit around a big table, and the dishes are not easy to clip, and the Ye family's family education is very strict, the descendants of the Ye family who are extremely beautiful outside have become silent when they arrive here, burying their heads in eating, and the huge banquet hall is so quiet that only the sound of chopsticks hitting dishes can be heard.
Duan Zetao, an outsider, is even more embarrassed and embarrassed to sit here, while dealing with Ye Tianlong's hints, he secretly observed the members of the Ye family at the dinner table, the Ye family is worthy of being a big family, and the family education is very strict, no matter how these juniors of the Ye family are outside, they are honest when they come here, and they are also polite when they greet Duan Zetao, but Duan Zetao can see that their politeness is only on the surface, and there is still a kind of pride in their bones, although the Xiao family is also a red family, But it is still a lot worse than the deep-rooted Ye family.
There were also a few middle-aged and elderly women who were noblely dressed and well-maintained during the banquet, Ye Tianlong did not introduce Duan Zetao, but Duan Zetao heard Ye Tianlong call them aunts, and secretly wondered in his heart, Ye Tianlong only had two uncles, and he didn't come today, why did so many aunts come? However, Duan Zetao naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to ask Ye Tianlong, you must know that there are many evasives in the big family, and it would be taboo to inquire, Duan Zetao was not so gossipy, and only hid this doubt in his heart.
