Chapter 130: I can't keep a low profile
Chapter 130 can't be low-key
The guests in the banquet hall did not have much emotional affection because of the dispute between the two young people, and in the melodious melody of dance music, the gentlemen and ladies on the dance floor danced, presenting a harmonious scene.
At the main table near the north, the host of this banquet, Ding Qian's parents, accompanied a group of more important guests to drink and talk.
There are not many people, and there are only about seven or eight people counting some female companions, basically some of Ding's father's friends in the business world, as well as some familiar government officials. In addition, the son-in-law who followed the surname An before also sat beside him, but this kid was not honest when he sat down, and he kept looking around, obviously looking for Ding Qian.
Father Ding took the initiative to raise his cup, smiled at a middle-aged man sitting at the top of his left, and invited: "Director Qi, thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the little girl's birthday banquet, for this, Ding really feels very honored." Come, please"
After hearing this, the middle-aged man surnamed Qi also raised his wine glass with a smile: "Mr. Ding, you are so polite, I really deserve it." β
Ding's father laughed twice, then raised his neck and drank it all, and then, most of the people sitting next to him also dried up the wine in the cup, and the VIP surnamed Lai just took a shallow sip of wine and put the cup down. But no one disagrees with this, after all, people are leaders.
As soon as the cup was put down, Father Ding asked Director Qi a little flatteringly, "Director Qi, when will Secretary Zhou come over?" β
After Father Ding finished asking, the faces of several businessmen present, including Na An Dong, quietly changed, and they looked solemnly at Director Qi who was sitting on the top of the head.
When Director Qi heard this, he subconsciously looked at his watch, and then frowned and replied: "It should be soon, I made an appointment with him at nine o'clock, but he said before that he would accompany the leader to have a meeting, and he may have delayed a little longer." As he spoke, he smiled at everyone again, "Don't worry, although Secretary Zhou usually doesn't like to participate in this kind of banquet, I have been old classmates with him for many years, and he always has to give me this face." β
After hearing this, all the businessmen all showed relieved expressions, but they didn't know what kind of virtue and ability Secretary Zhou had, so that the business bigwigs with a lot of money paid so much attention to it, as if it was a great thing to get to know this Secretary Zhou.
Really speaking, this Secretary Zhou is actually not a big official, he is just a deputy director-level cadre of the National Development and Reform Commission, but if Secretary Zhou is just a deputy director-level official, he naturally can't afford to be so valued by these big bosses who are well-known in the Yanjing business circle, to put it bluntly, Secretary Zhou is not an ordinary secretary, but a full-time secretary of Director Liu Haiquan, the current leader of the National Development and Reform Commission.
As for what the NDRC is, naturally there is no need to talk nonsense. Anyway, for big business bosses like Ding Qian's father, being able to catch the line of the National Development and Reform Commission is definitely sitting on a mountain of gold, and it is difficult to make a lot of money.
And Ding's father some time ago from abroad to buy a batch of second-hand agricultural equipment, originally wanted to make a lot of money, who knows that the recent policy of the National Development and Reform Commission, all such agricultural equipment must have the approval of the Development and Reform Commission to produce and sell, and the agricultural equipment companies around the country must also coordinate the action, now he this batch of goods worth hundreds of millions of dollars was directly stuck. Although he is doing legitimate business, as long as he queues up according to the normal procedures, he can get the relevant approval after a few months or half a year at the latest. But obviously, the longer it drags on, the greater the impact on the group's capital turnover operation, and of course he hopes that the sooner the approval is obtained, the better.
Therefore, Ding's father made a special trip to ask his old friend An Dong to help call this Director Qi over this time, which was nothing more than to figure out his relationship and connect with Zhou Qiang, that is, Secretary Zhou, the full-time secretary of Director Liu Haiquan, in order to dredge up the relationship.
And this Director Qi is average, just one of the many deputy directors of the Yanjing Municipal Government Office, and it is really not worth mentioning in Yanjing, a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden. However, this person is good at drilling, and likes to make all kinds of friends, so he also got to know these big bosses who specialize in import and export trade through guΓ² twists and turns.
"Mr. Ding, I have something to tell you."
At this moment, the attendant who had just been called out to do an errand walked back quickly, shouted at his side, and then bowed down and whispered a few words to him in his ear.
I don't know what this attendant said, but I saw that Ding's father nodded lightly, indicating that he knew. Then I just wanted to accuse a few friends that I had to lose company first, but I thought it was inappropriate, what if it was at this juncture, what if the secretary came that week? When the time comes, if you don't greet the host in person, you will leave an impolite impression and not say anything, and it will not be beautiful if you delay your urgent matter. Anyway, it won't take much time to call the two brothers over and make things clear, so just say a few words here.
Thinking of this, he didn't bother to move, and gestured to the attendant who was still waiting for his order on the side, and ordered, "Just call them over." After speaking, he smiled and said, "Later, the little girl has a friend who wants to come over, everyone will chat casually first, and if there is Yaxing going to the dance floor to play, please feel free." β
Everyone said yes, but no one got up to dance, obviously, they all knew that Lao Ding was afraid that he was in a little trouble, and eighty percent of it was still related to his baby daughter. And for people like them, it's quite happy to see old friends in the circle get into some trouble. Don't say anything else, let's talk more after tea and dinner in the future
After a short time, the two brothers Chen Yang and Chen Xuan, under the leadership of the attendant, came to the main table. And Ding Qian, who was arguing with Chen Xuan before, also followed, but her face was not very good-looking. I was nervous, and more at the same time, I was more nervous.
And to be honest, when she unexpectedly heard that her father offered to see her boyfriend again, she was indeed a little happy in her heart, thinking that her father might change his mind and not mind her boyfriend's family background. After all, when she grew so big, it was the first time she fell in love, and the reason why she agreed to be with Chen Xuan at the beginning was because she took a fancy to the other party's talent.
But unfortunately, when she came here, she immediately realized that her idea was still too naΓ―ve. Now when she sees the faces of her parents, she doesn't have much hope that this young first love can continue, to be honest.
Unlike Ding Qian, who was nervous with his head down, after Chen Yang arrived here, he glanced at the people at the table generously, and did not feel that the other party had any uncomfortable things such as the so-called coercive aura because there were all tycoons or high-ranking officials here, and he always had a calm smile on his face. However, after scanning his eyes, although he found that two or three of them seemed to know that they were government officials, they were all fresh faces, and obviously none of them were people in the circle he knew.
The guests at the main table were surprised by Chen Yang's calmness, and they all felt at the first time that the other party was young, but there was a faint aura on his body that made people feel very uncomfortable, but it was obvious that the other party had a smile on his face, where did this strange feeling come from, it really made them puzzled.
"Oh, Sister Yan, this is Xiao Qian's classmate's brother, I don't know what Lao Ding is doing, what are you doing when you call these two brothers over, just send them away and it's over, really."
"Oh, yes."
The lady took a sip of her coffee, smiled and nodded, noncommittal.
Father Ding, on the other hand, glanced at the Chen Yang brothers casually, and waved his hand lazily, "Sit down, Mr. Chen." Then he glared at his daughter again, "Xiaoqian, you also sit down." β
Ding's father seems to be worthy of being an old man in the social arena, although he doesn't have much sincerity to invite the other party to sit down, but after all, this is a public place, and he is still very particular about social politeness, and he doesn't want to have a bad impact on his good reputation in the social circle because of these two irrelevant miscellaneous fish that popped up out of nowhere.
"Okay, thanks."
Chen Yang nodded politely and smiled, and replied to the other party without pain. But to be honest, if it weren't for his brother, he wouldn't have been too lazy to be looked down upon here.
And Ding Qian was glared at by her father's stern gaze, and the little confidence she had left was immediately destroyed. At the same time, I regretted it, after all, there are some rich and powerful uncles and uncles here, and it doesn't matter if I am embarrassed later, if my father is disgraced, then I really have no face to face my parents who have always loved me.
As soon as she thought of this, she subconsciously raised her eyes to look at her boyfriend sitting next to her, and saw that her boyfriend looked nervous and uneasy, and she felt even more angry. Turning her eyes again, she glanced at Chen Yang, and when she saw the expression on Chen Yang's face, she was almost so angry that she vomited blood. But isn't it, Chen Yang's appearance is calm when he says it well, and it doesn't matter if he says it badly. It's not low-key at all, how can she talk to her father.
I really don't know if Chen Xuan, the eldest brother, really doesn't know or pretends to be, do you really think that you can pretend to be a rich person by wearing Armani?
It's over, it's all over.
Ding Qian thought sadly in her heart.
After sitting down, Chen Yang immediately asked: "Mr. Ding, I heard my brother say just now, you talked to him before, and told him very clearly, oh no, it should be said that you warned my brother very clearly, telling him not to have anything to do with your daughter in the future, right?" β
"Well, that's one of the reasons I called Mr. Chen over." Father Ding nodded very dryly in acknowledgement, but the expression on his face still looked very indifferent, "Young man, I can understand that I am a little impulsive, so I also hope that after talking to Mr. Chen this time, you can go back and communicate with Brother Ling, so as not to affect their respective studies because of these things." β
Ding's father said vigorously, clearly organized, reasonable, and well-founded, so that people don't even have a chance to get it right.
After Chen Yang heard this, he could only smile bitterly.
