Chapter 387: Returning the Favor
Zhang Quyi didn't eavesdrop anymore, turned around and left quietly, however, when he returned to the front yard, he suddenly found that the atmosphere was wrong, and there was no previous festive excitement at all. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The older ones gathered around with solemn faces and whispered conversations, while the younger generation was not too high-minded, gathering together to whisper, and the atmosphere was low and depressing.
At this time, Jiang Ying came over and said worriedly: "Just now it was said on the news that grandpa has resigned from all positions and officially retreated to the second line. ”
Zhang Quyi's heart shook slightly, and finally understood why Jiang Ying and Jiang Feng's fortunes had weakened, and Jiang Hengkong had retired. The situation of the Jiang family has been declining, and it has been supported by the towering tree of Jiang Hengkong, and now that the old man Jiang has returned to the field, it is no wonder that the luck of the Jiang family will weaken.
Jiang Ying sighed lightly and said, "The situation at home is not good, and now grandpa has retired again, but unfortunately I haven't graduated yet, so I can't help!"
Zhang Quyi finally understood why Jiang Ying was so active in going out for an internship, reached out and scratched her Yao nose, and comforted: "What are you worried about, the sky is falling, isn't it supported by me?"
Jiang Yingfang's heart was sweet, and she said angrily: "You are the most powerful at bragging!"
Near noon, today's protagonist finally appeared, and the birthday banquet officially began.
Jiang walked into the hall in a hurry, not seeing the slightest hint of decadence, but in high spirits, which made the Jiang family a little confused.
Jiang Hengkong glanced at the audience, his eyebrows flew obliquely into his temples, his momentum did not decrease at all, and everyone present subconsciously sat up straight.
"Let's have a banquet!" Jiang Hengkong retracted his gaze, pointed to the position next to him and said, "Xiao Yi and Xiao Ying sit here!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Zhang Quyi and Jiang Ying in the third seat with complicated eyes. Originally, only the Jiang family members who were the same generation as Jiang Hengkong or had a certain social status could sit in the chief, such as Jiang Jianguo, who was a member of a province, and Jiang Yuanchao, the helmsman of the Jiang family's industry, were all qualified to sit in the chief.
However, a person like Jiang Tuanjie, although he is the third elder of the Jiang family, can only sit in the second seat, and now Jiang Hengkong actually called Zhang Quyi and Jiang Ying, two juniors, to the chief seat, which naturally surprised everyone.
Jiang Han and Jiang Xue sisters looked jealous, but they didn't dare to be as presumptuous as before, now that the old man has retired, the biggest tree in the Jiang family in the future will be Jiang Ying's father Jiang Jianguo, and Zhang Quyi is not easy to provoke!
"Why is Jiang Ying so good-looking, she is beautiful, her grandfather loves her, her father is a big official, and she is so good at finding a boyfriend!" Jiang Xue muttered secretly in her heart, as if she had completely forgotten that she had sarcastically mocked Zhang Quyi before, a dirt bun, a dead and poor ghost!
Jiang Ying was both surprised and delighted, Zhang Quyi didn't think so, where to sit is not to sit, pulled Jiang Ying to sit calmly to the chief, and by the way, took out the "Bamboo and Stone" written by Zhang Daqian and handed it to Jiang Hengkong, and said with a smile: "I wish the old man good fortune like the East China Sea, longevity than Nanshan, old and ginger." Just like this song "Bamboo and Stone", it is still tenacious after thousands of blows, and it is windy in the southeast and northwest!"
Jiang Hengkong glanced at it: "This sycophant skill is good!!"
"It's a must!" said Zhang without changing his color.
Jiang Ying burst out laughing, and everyone else was secretly speechless, this kid dared to tease his father.
Jiang Hengkong opened the scroll and looked at it, nodded and closed it and put it aside, saying, "Let's eat!"
Zhang Quyi couldn't help but roll his eyes, nodded and reluctantly, so let's praise a few words, okay, let the fat man make a copycat next time!
The birthday banquet was finished in each mind, and then Jiang Yuanchao finally couldn't hold back and asked: "Dad, why did you resign from all your positions, and you didn't discuss it with us in advance!"
Jiang Hengkong raised his eyebrows: "Your old man is almost eighty years old, retirement is not very normal, and you have to discuss it with you, a rabbit cub?"
"Hey...... I didn't mean that, at least say hello first!" Jiang Yuanchao lowered his head and muttered.
Jiang's pharmaceutical industry is already in a recession, and Jiang Yuanchao is currently trying his best to get out of the predicament, and now Jiang Hengkong's sudden resignation has undoubtedly made Jiang's pharmaceutical situation worse.
Of course, Jiang Hengkong never interfered in business matters, and he strictly forbade Jiang Yuanchao to seek personal interests in his name, otherwise the industry under Jiang's name would not be in the current situation. However, although Jiang Hengkong did not take the initiative to intervene, but with him, at least no government ministry dared to criticize the Jiang family's industry, which also saved a lot of trouble, but now that Jiang Hengkong has returned to the field, the situation is completely different, and there will always be some blind little ghosts who run out to make things difficult.
"Am I Lao Tzu or you Lao Tzu, I have to say hello to you when I retire!" Jiang Hengkong slapped his chopsticks down on the table.
Suddenly, the whole table was silent, except for Zhang Quyi, Jiang Yuanchao's face turned pale, and he didn't dare to say more.
"Grandpa, you dissipate your anger!" Jiang Ying hurriedly handed Jiang Hengkong a cup of tea, the latter was a little less angry, took the teacup and took a sip, seeing that Zhang Quyi was still calmly picking up the rice, he couldn't help but twitch his eyelids.
Jiang Hengkong also knew that his aura couldn't shake Zhang Quyi, but this kid was too faceless, at least pretend to cooperate. If it weren't for Jiang Ying, Lao Jiang would have reached out and pressed Zhang Quyi's face to the rice bowl!
At this moment, a porter ran in and said in a panic: "XX leader is here!"
The whole hall immediately exploded, because the XX leader mentioned by the porter was none other than the number one leader. Jiang Jianguo and Jiang Yuanchao subconsciously stood up, looking surprised and delighted.
Jiang Hengkong seemed to have known that No. 1 would come, so he calmly stood up and walked outside the courtyard, and Jiang Jianguo's brothers immediately followed.
Soon, Jiang Hengkong and the others walked in with the group, and the one among them was the No. 1 leader, and even the chief's wife also came.
No. 1 didn't stay in the banquet hall for long, and soon went to the backyard with Jiang Hengkong.
Zhang Quyi frowned, and faintly felt a little bad, because when No. 1 passed by just now, his gaze obviously stayed on him for half a second.
However, the people of the Jiang family in the hall became excited, and the No. 1 leader actually came to congratulate the old man on his birthday, which shows that although the old man has taken a back seat, he is still a "holy family", and on this basis, no one dares to underestimate the Jiang family.
Zhang Quyi pouted secretly, with Jiang Hengkong's influence in the army, this time he voluntarily delegated power to the second line, as the No. 1 country with the greatest benefits, how could he do it if he didn't reciprocate it!
About half of the incense burnt time, No. 1 left in a hurry, Jiang Yuanchao happily held a piece of rice paper and ordered someone to frame it, which was obviously the birthday message that No. 1 had just inscribed to Mr. Jiang.
This thing is amazing, if it was in ancient times, if it was hung in the house, it would be equivalent to a talisman!
