Chapter 351 Do you think it is convenient to take us to a toast?
"Yes, I will take people there now." Xing Huang replied without thinking after hearing this.
"Okay!" Qin Zhengfan was not polite to Xing Huang. He just reported the box number and hung up the phone.
"Zhengfan, you can't be..." Seeing Qin Zhengfan hang up the phone, Qin Jiayong realized that the phone call just now was famous, and couldn't help but look at Qin Zhengfan uneasily.
The Fang family is much stronger than the Tao family. Even though Qin Jiayong fully understood that his nephew was very powerful, he was still worried that this matter would bring him trouble.
After all, rabbits will bite people when they are anxious, let alone the Fang family!
Qin Zhengfan was still an outsider in Shengling City, but he had a better relationship with the Lu family.
But the Lu family are outsiders after all. If it really involves a more complicated contest, will they really help?
There is also the executive deputy governor Lu Zhongyuan. Because of Lu Wenyuan's relationship, he promoted Qin Jiayong. This is already a great deal of face. If he really wants to push further and deal with the Fang family, I am afraid it will offend him.
In these aspects, Qin Jiayong's thoughts are actually similar to Fang Yi's. It's just that Lu Zhongyuan has always paid attention to handling his relationship with the Lu family. Outsiders who don't have a certain level don't know that Lu Zhongyuan actually has a deep connection with the Lu family.
relation.
Therefore, Fang Yi didn't count Lu Zhongyuan's level, and he didn't know that Lu Zhongyuan was here today, otherwise even Fang Yi might not be able to calm down.
"Third uncle, don't worry, leave everything to me, I know it well." Qin Zhengfan interrupted Qin Jiayong with a smile.
"Zhengfan..." Hearing Qin Zhengfan's tone, Qin Jiayong knew that it was really because of him. He wanted Fang Bo to take action, and he couldn't help but become anxious.
At this moment, they arrived at the door of the box.
The Lu family had specially arranged for two capable young men to stand at the door of the box. When they saw Lu Zhongfeng and others arriving, they knocked on the door of the box, which was ajar, and then pushed it open in advance.
As soon as the door of the box was pushed open, Qin Jiayong saw Lu Zhongyuan, who often appeared in newspapers and TV screens, walking up to him with a middle-aged woman with a smile on her face.
As soon as Qin Jiayong saw Lu Zhongyuan's familiar yet unfamiliar face, his heart suddenly lifted and he could no longer think about Fang Bo.
"Dr. Qin, you are here. Because of your sensitive status, I did not go downstairs with my wife to greet you. It is really rude!" Lu Zhongyuan strode forward, holding Qin Zhengfan's hand enthusiastically with both hands for a long time, as if
Qin Zhengfan is just like his superior leader.
"Haha, Governor Lu is too polite. You are not an outsider. In fact, you are all waiting in the box. We can just find you ourselves." Qin Zhengfan said with a faint smile.
After that, Qin Zhengfan gently shook hands with Lu Zhongyuan's wife, Chi Yuyu.
Seeing the humble scene of Governor Lu and his wife facing Qin Zhengfan, Qin Jiayong and his wife felt a lack of oxygen in their heads.
They had already imagined in their minds the scene of meeting Governor Lu and his wife in the box later, but they never dreamed that Governor Lu and his wife would behave so humbly in front of Qin Zhengfan. On the contrary, the young Qin Zhengfan behaved so humbly.
Very casual and indifferent.
After Lu Zhongyuan and his wife shook hands with Qin Zhengfan, under the introduction of Lu Wenyuan, they shook hands with Qin Jiayong and his wife and said hello.
Since Qin Jiayong will be regarded as a soldier under Lu Zhongyuan from now on, Lu Zhongyuan and his wife will naturally not be too polite to him and his wife.
Of course, with Qin Zhengfan here, it was impossible for them to act like leaders in front of his three uncles and three aunts.
Therefore, Lu Zhongyuan and his wife, who are well versed in human relations and sophistication, faced Qin Jiayong and his wife with a completely casual attitude between friends, but Qin Jiayong and his wife could not let go and seemed quite reserved.
After greeting each other and exchanging pleasantries, Lu Zhongfeng, as the head of the Lu family, invited Qin Zhengfan to sit as the guest of honor.
"My third uncle and three aunts are all here, so why should I sit in the guest of honor position? Third uncle, you should sit in the guest of honor position." Qin Zhengfan smiled and pulled his third uncle over and said.
In the past, Qin Zhengfan didn't quite understand these wine table arrangements, but now that he has seen more of the world, he naturally understands them.
"Zhengfan, you and my uncle and nephew don't have to be humble. If you let the third uncle sit in this position, will the third uncle still dare to use the chopsticks?" Qin Jiayong couldn't help being frightened when he heard this, and waved his hands quickly.
Are you kidding me? Governor Lu is here. He sits as the guest of honor, and then lets Governor Lu sit as a companion and drink with him?
Does he still want to be the deputy director of the Second Secretariat? Does he want to be promoted in the future?
"Zhengfan, you don't have to apologize. What your third uncle said makes sense. If you want him to be the guest of honor, then our Lu family will not invite him to a meal but to invite him to suffer." Lu Wenyuan
Seeing this, he said with a smile.
Qin Zhengfan thought about the same reason, and the people present included his third uncle and three aunt. Who didn't understand that it was Qin Zhengfan who the Lu family really wanted to invite today, and his third uncle and three aunt just happened to meet him.
"Okay then. I'll take care of you, the third uncle and the third aunt." Qin Zhengfan was not a hypocritical person. Hearing this, he smiled and said to Qin Jiayong and Tao Qin, and then took the guest of honor seats.
The Lu family had obviously already discussed it. Seeing that Qin Zhengfan had taken the guest of honor seat, Lu Zhongyuan, the executive deputy governor, bowed his head next to Qin Zhengfan and took a seat accompanying the guests.
Qin Jiayong was pulled to the deputy guest of honor seat to the left of the host's seat, and Lu Wenyuan sat under him as a guest.
As for the position of the host, that is, the host, Lu Zhongfeng, the head of the family, naturally takes the seat. This is a family rule.
After the guest of honor, deputy guest of honor, and the main accompanying guests were arranged, the rest was relatively casual. In addition, Tao Qin was a female family member, so there were relatively few rules. She, Lu Zhongfeng's wife, and Lu
Zhong Yuan's three wives randomly found three seats below to sit together.
After everyone was seated, the dishes and drinks were quickly placed one by one, and naturally there was a lot of drinking and drinking.
People from the Lu family toasted to Qin Zhengfan and Qin Jiayong.
The wine table culture in the Zhou Dynasty was very popular, and many things could be discussed and observed at the wine table.
Before, Qin Jiayong and his wife had discovered that the Lu family and Lu Zhongyuan and his wife respected Qin Zhengfan, but it was not too obvious. It gave people the impression that they were extraordinarily warm and polite.
Of course, when you reach the level of Lu Zhongfeng and others, being extra warm and polite to a person is also a sign of respect in itself.
But the feeling of this kind of respect given to Qin Jiayong and his wife is far less intuitive and visually impactful than when they toasted to Qin Zhengfan!
Looking at Lu Zhongfeng, all the elders of the Lu family except Lu Wenyuan and even Lu Zhongyuan had to stand up when they toasted Qin Zhengfan for a drink.
A sentence of "You do whatever you want, I'll do it."
This posture gave Qin Jiayong and his wife the same feeling as a subordinate or junior toasting to a leader or elder.
This scene simply made Qin Jiayong and his wife's heartbeats so fast that they felt like their world view and outlook on life had collapsed.
Is this really the head of the Lu family, who controls tens of billions of wealth? Is he really Deputy Governor Lu, one of the political giants in Jintang Prefecture?
They actually want to toast their nephew with this attitude!
…
"Mayor Ren, you are here to welcome us. It's too late to welcome us from afar!" In another private room, Fang Yi and his son greeted Ren Hongjian, the deputy mayor of Shengling City, with a smile on his face.
Although the two are cousins, they are distant cousins after all, and Fang Yi has retired for several years, so they do not call him by his first name but by his position to show attention and respect.
However, Fang Bo did not call Mayor Ren Hongjian, but directly called his cousin. Cousin is an elder, this is an honorific title, and it brings the relationship between the two parties closer.
"Haha, I have to come over to congratulate my cousin on his seventieth birthday. But I have something to do later, so I will leave after a while. Please forgive me," Ren Hongjian said.
"Haha, you are a busy man. I am very happy that you came all the way for my old man's birthday, so there is nothing I can't forgive you for!" Fang Yi said with a smile.
Talking and laughing, Fang Yi welcomed Ren Hongjian into the box.
Seeing that it was deputy mayor Ren who came, people all stood up to say hello. This made everyone in the Fang family feel proud. Fang Bo was also very disappointed that he had been eliminated from the list of candidates for the district president, and his back was straight.
, as if Vice Mayor Ren is not his cousin but his biological uncle.
People from the Tao family also came forward to say hello to Ren Hongjian.
After all, Tao Qin's father can be considered a veteran cadre who retired from a department-level position.
Ren Hongjian still recognized Tao Qin's father, so he shook hands with him and exchanged a few greetings with him.
This made everyone in the Tao family a little excited. Their low mood and morale finally began to recover. They secretly thought that with Deputy Mayor Ren helping to take the lead in toasting and being the peacemaker, the Lu family would always give face. Qin Zhengfan should understand by then.
The Tao family also has some connections and energy.
Soon, Fang Yi personally invited Ren Hongjian to take the guest of honor seat.
After a polite toast, Fang Yi whispered to Ren Hongjian: "Mayor Ren, tonight Mayor Lu Wenying, Lu Zhongfeng and other heavyweights from the Lu family, as well as Tao Zhiyan's daughter and son-in-law are also coming.
They are eating here together. I happened to bump into them at the door of the box before, would it be convenient for you to take us to have a toast?"
"Oh, what a coincidence, Old Mayor Lu is here too! Speaking of which, I used to be his subordinate. Since you guys met just now, and I happened to be here today, it would be a bit weird if I didn't go to say hello and toast to the old leader.
I'm sorry." Ren Hongjian's eyes lit up slightly when he heard this, and he nodded slightly, but then he frowned slightly and glanced at Tao Qin's father, Tao Zhiyan, who was sitting on the left as the deputy guest of honor.
He said: "But who is Director Tao's son-in-law? How did he end up with Mayor Lu and others? Also, Mayor Lu has retired for many years and has stopped caring about officialdom. You are still in office
