Xia Shao didn't expect that Zhang Ruman, who was originally trying to enlighten him, would actually be able to figure something out in the end.
She understood where the weird feeling before came from.
Maybe, she thought wrong. The other party’s target is not Huaxia Group!
The murals are back, and the wave of domestic enthusiasm has not yet passed. It is at a time when the Huaxia Group is making a big noise and the public is supporting it. How could those who want to move the Huaxia Group be so stupid as to do so at this time? In these two matters, whether it was tampering with the Huaxia Charity Fund or Zhang Ruman's admission quota, the means were not hidden. Xia Shao would know about it as soon as she returned to China. How could someone who wanted to touch her use such a tactic to scare the snake away
The only explanation is that the other party is not coming for her at all. Or, the other party is not afraid that she will know these two things at all.
Xia Shao boldly guessed that the other party was not only not afraid of her knowing, but even deliberately wanted her to know!
This matter was directed at Qin Hanlin, or in other words, at Qin Xi...
Lian Zhongrong intended to take advantage of the situation and embezzle the China Charity Fund. If Xia Shao knew about this, he would not be spared lightly! As Lian Zhongyong is the top leader in Dongcheng, he will not ignore the troubles caused by his own brother. When Xia Shao deals with Lian Zhongrong, he will eventually confront Lian Zhongyong. The person who arranged this matter knew Xia Shao's temperament. She was a person who always wanted to take revenge. She would pay back double the amount of money to anyone who had schemed against her. From the changes in Qing Province to the destruction of the Wang family in the capital, she had her hand in everything. Even if Lian Zhongyong was the Dongshi Municipal Party Committee Secretary, Xia Shao would not give him face. The result of the duel between the two sides is likely to be the replacement of the top leader in Dongshi. Xia Shao will not leave a restless factor in her hometown. With the connections she has accumulated through Feng Shui over the years and her status as the future granddaughter-in-law of the Xu family, she can replace a municipal party committee secretary!
Lian Zhongyong's net worth is not clean. Once he is replaced, there is no guarantee that some people will not take this opportunity to call for strict investigation. Corruption and bribery, no matter how secretive they are, cannot withstand those who are willing to do so. If the other party really wanted to disturb the Qin family, I'm afraid they would already have these evidences.
Once Lian Zhongyong's corruption and bribery are found out, the Dongshi Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and the leadership team will be held accountable. Who knows how many people will be implicated by then.
This matter is for the Qin family! Dongshi is the second largest city in Qing Province in terms of economy, so the changes in Dongshi will still have a huge impact on the Qin Clan.
But the other party is very ambitious. He is not only targeting the Qin people in Dongshi, but also Qingshi, intending to shake the greater foundation of the Qin system.
The admission quota was all about Qin Hanlin.
Only Qin Hanlin can help Zhang Ruman find her admission quota when Xia Shao doesn't come back! This kid helped Zhang Ruman, but he planted a bomb for himself. The country has paid great attention to college entrance examination admissions over the years, and changing admission quotas privately is not a trivial matter. Even if the quota originally belonged to Zhang Ruman, Qin Hanlin should not have interfered with the enrollment. If he took this step and was pinched, it would be a big mistake!
Moreover, although the enrollment work in Qing Province is under the control of the education department, since the working group has come to Qing Province, it is inevitable that there will be no private contact with some officials and businessmen during the enrollment process. Once found out, another group of officials from Qing Province will be implicated, and the Discipline Inspection Commission may not be able to avoid it either.
Qin Hanlin is the successor trained by the old man of the Qin family. If something happens to him, it will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the Qin family.
These two incidents are related to Xia Shao. It can be seen that the other party does not want Xia Shao to stay out of the matter and wants to drag her into this muddy water.
You must know that Lian Zhongyong has an extraordinary background. His father is a senior official at the provincial and ministerial levels and a general of the Qin Dynasty. Xia Shaoruo's handling of Lian Zhongyong was an offense against the Lian family. If the Lian family sued the Qin family, the Qin family and the Xu family had always been on good terms. If this matter was not handled well, the Qin family would not lose a member of the Lian family. , and have to create some unpleasantness with the Xu family.
This is a dilemma.
Once the admission quota is exposed and Qin Hanlin gets into trouble for Xia Shao's cousin, there is no guarantee that the Qin family will not have any objections. The person who was scheming behind the scenes was very thoughtful. If she hadn't been chatting with Zhang Ruman today, she wouldn't have been able to connect with so many things.
But now that he thought about it, Xia Shaodang sneered.
To deal with Qin Xi, he wanted to use her hand to drag her down. If she didn't retaliate to this person, she wouldn't be Xia Shao!
…
It was mid-afternoon. Xia Shao asked Zhang Ruman to go back to the house and take a nap. Zhang Ruman was drunk last night and slept until just before noon. How could he still sleep? Xia Shao said that she wanted to rest and let herself continue to reflect, and then returned to the house.
When she arrived at the house, Xia Shao took out her mobile phone and dialed Xu Tianyin's number.
Today is not the weekend, Xu Tianyin should be in the military area, and his lunch break should not disturb his work. And Xia Shao was sure that someone must not have taken a nap.
As Xia Shao expected, in the Beijing Military Region Office, Xu Tianyin had a computer in front of him, which displayed a military map for combat use. The man was leaning on the chair, his brows were as cold as ever, and he wore the attire of a major general, which further enhanced his cold and murderous demeanor.
The man's slender and powerful fingers were working on the keyboard. The fingers had distinct joints. A ring on the middle finger of his left hand was firmly attached, soothing the coldness all over the man's body. When his cell phone rang, he paused, and the loneliness between his brows softened significantly.
The mobile phone screen on the table lit up, and a girl's smiling eyebrows seemed to be looking at him through the screen. Her voice was also smiling and soft, "Senior brother, listen to the phone..."
This voice was obviously recorded secretly at some point. Xu Tianyin had a faint smile in his eyes and picked up the phone very quickly, "Hello?"
His voice was always cold, but there was a heavy rise and fall in his chest. It was the suppressed longing. They separated from England and the two of them had not seen each other for more than half a month. He knew she was back home, but he couldn't bear to call her in the past few days.
Unexpectedly, she called today.
Because...miss him
The man's eyes were softer than ever before, and his breath was rising and falling. He had never known that he was so looking forward to hearing her voice at this moment.
On the other end of the phone, Xia Shao got straight to the point, "Brother, have you seen Qin Hanlin since you returned to the capital?"
Xu Tianyin was stunned and his breath was suffocated. Xia Shao didn't hear his voice for a long time, and just as she was about to speak out, the man's eyes darkened and his voice became colder several times, but he still answered, "No."
"Then you'd better meet him. Once you meet him, you'll understand that this kid is in trouble."
Xu Tianyin was slightly startled, and the plummeting temperature in the room stopped.
"I found something here that I couldn't explain clearly on the phone. When you come here in a few days, bring him with you and talk about it in person." Xia Shao had Qin Hanlin's phone number, but she didn't call him directly. . The other party was determined to deal with him, and Qin Hanlin was at the center of the whirlpool in the capital. There were many informants around him. Xia Shao was worried that the conversation would be overheard. It can be said that she is careful, but there is nothing wrong with being careful. The other party is so scheming that even the Huaxia Group has plotted to get in. How can it be done without giving him a gift in return
But on the other end of the phone, Xu Tianyin was silent.
Xia Shao raised an eyebrow, "Senior brother?"
"Fiancé." The man's flat voice finally came from the other side.
Xia Shao was stunned and chuckled, and then she heard that someone was in a bad mood.
"You called just to ask him?" Sure enough, the man still couldn't hold it back and asked.
Xia Shao suppressed a smile, raised her brows, and said in a cool tone, "What else? I heard that someone was going to kill them first and then tell them later, and they haven't called me since I came back. I thought they didn't want me or didn't want to explain anything, so , of course I called today to talk about business."
Well…
As expected, there was silence over there. For a long time, one word came out, "I want to."
"Why do you dare to kill first and then show off without explaining anything?" Xia Shao's eyes narrowed with laughter, but she still held back her laughter and asked.
"I want to give you a surprise." Xu Tianyin's voice was slightly hoarse, which made Xia Shao's eyes soften.
"Okay, I'm waiting for your surprise." The girl's voice came with a faint smile, and the man breathed a sigh of relief.
She wasn't angry.
But Xia Shao then said: "Don't forget to bring Qin Hanlin with you when you come. That's it, see you then!" After that, she hung up the phone happily.
Listening to the busy signal on the phone, the man whose eyes had softened just now suddenly became colder. The room suddenly became several degrees colder. Xu Tianyin squeezed the phone, his joints turning slightly white.
Qin Hanlin!
…
Xu Tianyin agreed to come to Xia's house to see off the engagement at the end of the month. After Xia Zhiyuan and Li Juan stopped worrying about etiquette, they informed their relatives about it.
Although there is no etiquette for announcing the engagement day, the Xia family still attaches great importance to it. After Xu Tianyin and Xia Shao got engaged, the earliest they could get married would be three years later. Therefore, the engagement became a major event for the two of them at this stage.
Since it is a big event, it is natural to prepare well. The Xia family members said that they must hold a banquet and celebrate that day. When Xia Zhiyuan saw that they wanted to do something grand, he waved his hand, "It doesn't have to be so grand. There is no such etiquette in the first place, and we don't advocate extravagance. That day you guys As long as we are all here, just invite the two old people over, sit at a table in our home, have a meal, and talk about the engagement day in the twelfth lunar month."
Xia Zhiyuan was thinking that it would not be too late to wait for the engagement day to be grand on the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month. At that time in the capital, whether she was extravagant or not, Jian would listen to the wishes of the old man of the Xu family. Here in Dongshi, we won’t do anything big for now, lest people think it’s too ostentatious and leave a bad impression on Mr. Xu, who will be embarrassed when he goes to the capital.
Xia Zhiyuan spoke, and the Xia family had no choice but to do as he wanted. But even if the family gathers for a meal that day, it is different from the past, and the dress must be grand. Therefore, Xia Zhimei, Xia Zhiqin and Xia Zhitao, from the moment they answered the phone, began to organize their clothes for that day, preparing and waiting for the 30th.
Li Juan is also very busy these days. She is busy ordering the menu for that day, preparing meals for the wedding banquet, and she also has to take time to go to the mall to buy decent clothes for her husband and herself. Fortunately, Xia Shao was with her at home and gave her reference. Although she was busy, she was not in a hurry.
And Xia Shao is the busiest person.
She did not see brother Lian Zhongyong, but sent someone to return the one million charity money to Lian Zhongrong, telling him that the one million yuan could not buy many shares, so there was no need to worry.
The money donated by Lian Zhongrong was returned again, and his face suddenly turned red, feeling like he had been slapped. But before he could say anything, the man went back, leaving him alone at home, shocked and worried. What's shocking is that he can't buy many shares of China Charity Fund with just one million? How can it be? Didn't the person who gave him the advice say that the Huaxia Charity Fund was established by the Xia family and that 90% of its source was the profits of the Huaxia Group? Xia Shao is a businessman. Even if she is passionate about charity, there is no reason to throw a lot of money into charity funds. After all, the money she earns does not come from strong winds.
In this case, there shouldn't be too many fund reserves in the China Charity Foundation! He previously estimated that 100 million would be great. Could it be... more
Lian Zhongrong's heart was so high that he felt like he had been tricked this time. The reason why he dared to pursue the idea of China Charity Foundation some time ago was not only because of the public opinion turmoil during that period, but also because of the background of the Lian family. The Lian family is a general of the Qin family. Even if the Huaxia Group is fine in the end, Xia Shao will take care of the friendship between the Xu and Qin families and will not have a quarrel with the Lian family. Maybe they will allow him to become a shareholder in order to win over him.
But now it seems that he thought too well. He quickly found his brother Lian Zhongyong, who reprimanded him on the phone, "If you weren't greedy, would you be here today? I thought you were out of your mind and planned to target Huaxia Group! Why don't you ask about that girl's reputation? Is she someone easy to mess with?!"
"But things are already like this, what should we do? She won't do anything to me, right? After all, our old man... "
"You still mention our old man! She is almost the granddaughter-in-law of the Xu family now. If you go to the old man to sue her, you will suffer!"
Lian Zhongrong trembled, "What should we do?"
"Come to apologize! What else can you do?"
As of now, that's all it can do.
But when Lian Zhongrong carried the gift outside Taoyuan District and wanted to apologize to Xia's family, he was told that Xia Shao was no longer in Dongshi.
Xia Shao was indeed not in Dongshi, she went to Qingshi.
Xia Shao went to the company and held a two-day meeting to explain to the managers and employees the whole story of the domestic public opinion incident in the UK. The days when the public turmoil was the most serious have passed. Managers and employees are in high spirits and are immersed in joy. I heard that the chairman had quietly sent Japan's Yamato Corporation, which planned to enter the domestic market, back to his hometown, and the atmosphere of the meeting was very lively.
This one-month trip to the UK discouraged foreign companies. It not only stabilized Huaxia Group's existing market share, but also gave the group unprecedented domestic support and solidified its foundation. During her two days in the company, Xia Shao always received almost adoring looks wherever she went, from senior executives to employees.
But Xia Shao was not immersed in these gazes, nor did she come back to enjoy them. On the first day she came back, she gave the company's employees time to celebrate. The next day they had another meeting, and the content of the meeting made people breathless.
Xia Shao asked the collective management to comprehensively investigate the domestic blank market and asked Sun Changde to produce a series of reports.
This report is a survey of the Japanese market. The old Japanese auction collective Yamato Corporation has filed for bankruptcy after returning to China. The analysis of the market share, business model, advantages and disadvantages of emerging auction companies, etc., made the management look at each other in amazement. Shock.
Is this... going to enter foreign markets
Xia Shao does have this plan, and the first thing she wants to win is the Japanese market! From the Sui and Tang Dynasties to modern times, Japan has the largest collection of Chinese cultural relics in the world. Among them are gifts from the normal exchange period between the two countries, and some that passed by in modern times. It is said that after the war, Japan returned some cultural relics, as many as 150,000 carts, of which only more than 2,000 were relatively precious. Among Japanese folk, there is no shortage of Chinese cultural relics. Of course, these are not the only reasons why Xia Shao advocates entering the Japanese market first. She is a businessman and puts the interests of the group first. She made this decision because Yamato Corporation had just declared bankruptcy, leaving some gaps in the market. A good opportunity.
However, whether this plan can be implemented depends on the company's comprehensive analysis and research of the market, so this plan will not be implemented within this year. Xia Shao will give the company plenty of time. If the plan is feasible, it will not enter foreign markets until next year.
This day's meeting allowed the company's senior management to see a new world and hope, and everyone was nervous and excited. The important thing is that developing foreign markets is not a child's play. The first step to success or failure is research. A little negligence in this aspect may lead to errors in judgment and failure. What is exciting is that a new period of growth for the group is just around the corner. Perhaps tomorrow, there will be another legend that shocks the world. Being able to participate in it, everyone feels that they are doing a career in this life. As long as they follow this young girl in front of them, their career can always reach new heights.
Xia Shao stayed in Qingshi for three days. Originally she was just handling company affairs and had no social plans, but the news of her return spread like wildfire. Hu Guangjin, who had also returned from the UK, took the lead and led the bosses from the upper class circles in the province to host a banquet for Xia Shao as a way of thanking her for her help in the UK.
Since attending an auction with Xia Shao, people in the British upper class knew that he had a friendship with Xia Shao, and the many obstacles that Ruihai Group had encountered in developing the British market were easily solved. Not only that, the Watt Group, one of the three giants in the British clothing industry, suffered an unprecedented blow in the world market after the day of the auction. Whether it is China or other countries, as long as there are Anqinhui and Triads. , all suffered heavy losses. In the past month, I heard that the Watt Group was preparing to withdraw from the Chinese market. This made Hu Guangjin, who had been harassed and humiliated by the Watt family in the UK, let out a sigh of relief!
Hu Jiayi is now studying at Cambridge University. In the past, all her thoughts were on her witchcraft and divination. Now she is focused on learning to manage the company. She seems to have learned a lot in this year. This made Hu Guangjin and his wife very grateful to Xia Shao. When they heard that she was back, they had to treat her to a banquet to express their gratitude.
Since the dinner was invited by Hu Guangjin and his wife, Xia Shao naturally couldn't refuse. That night, there were naturally words of thanks and compliments and congratulations, but what these bosses in the provincial circle asked about most during the banquet was the engagement of Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin.
The news came out so suddenly that everyone was shocked. It turned out that I just heard that Mr. Xu was very kind to Xia Shao, and Xu had already acquiesced in her as the future grandson-in-law of the Xu family. But such news is not as shocking as the news of an official engagement. You know, even the date has been set, this is no longer just speculation, it is a real identity.
"Director Xia, you are not kind. You didn't reveal anything about such a big matter in advance." The bosses laughed one after another, but their eyes were very bright. They all stared at Xia Shao, as if they wanted to hear some confirmation from her mouth. information.
Xia Shao smiled, "Originally, we had made an appointment. I was just thinking about sending wedding invitations to friends and relatives. Suddenly, I received an invitation from the World Auction Summit, so I had no choice but to postpone the engagement date. My master and his wife are getting married. I will let you know if there is good news. ."
The bosses were shocked and said, "Hey! Mr. Tang personally arranged the marriage, that's really a good thing!"
While he was talking, everyone glanced at him, their eyes shining brightly. Since Xia Shao had brought her master out, this matter must not be false! Many people present still remember the girl in front of her when she first came to Qingshi. The first time Xu Tianyin appeared in a social situation was at the Christmas ball of the Huaxia Group. At that time, I am afraid that few people thought that this relationship would really blossom and bear fruit. After all, what is Xu Tianyin’s background and identity? And how sensitive is Xia Shao's identity
Unexpectedly, the two of them could put aside their secular concepts and really come together.
"Director Xia, you must tell us when the date is set! No matter what we say, we should congratulate such a happy event!" The bosses laughed one after another and looked at Xia Shao with more respect and caution.
Xia Shao smiled and nodded, seeming to agree, but these people didn't know that Tang Zongbo had already arranged the date, it was the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, the day before Little New Year's Eve. The reason why Xia Shao didn't say anything was because it was too early. These people would definitely prepare gifts early, and the gifts they prepared would be heavy. The Xu family is an official family, and it is not good to be too polite. Xia Shao does not want to owe these bosses too many favors. Moreover, the engagement ceremony is held in the capital, and invitations will be sent out, but not to everyone. How could such a large number of people be invited to the capital? They would just give a notice and invite some friends with whom they usually interact well. Most people will wait until Xia Shao comes back during the New Year before hosting a banquet.
These people didn't know that Xia Shao had already made plans in his heart, and their plans were useless. They didn't even know that Xu Tianyin would come to Xia's house the day after tomorrow to announce the date of the engagement and discuss the details of the engagement.
Xia Shao only made some promises at the table and drove home early the next morning.
When I got home, it was two o'clock in the afternoon. When Xia Shao walked in, Li Juan had just put down the phone. Xu Tianyin called, saying he would arrive at ten o'clock tomorrow morning.
"Then I will pick up senior brother at the airport tomorrow morning." Xia Shao entered the room and smiled.
Li Juan was preparing to go to the kitchen to serve her daughter a hot lunch. When she walked to the door and heard these words, she turned around with a smile and scolded, "What day tomorrow do I want you to pick up? The man came to our house to see off the day. You haven't come through the door and you are not allowed to go anywhere." Go! Wait at home honestly."
Xia Shao was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, "It's not the wedding day, so why are you so particular about it?"
"Your father said you should be particular, so just obey him. Seeing that his daughter is getting married, he is feeling sour." Li Juan took advantage of her husband's absence to stab him in the back.
The mother and daughter laughed. Li Juan went to the kitchen to stop eating, and then said: "You stay with your grandparents tomorrow morning. You don't have to worry about anything. We will make arrangements."
Xia Shao ate her food and nodded, with a rare daughter's smile on her face. Looking forward to it, but a little nervous.
Originally, she was not nervous. But when this day came, she saw that her parents said that the day of the engagement was not within the etiquette system and that there was no need to worry about it, but in the end they were still very serious about it. The joyful atmosphere couldn't help but be infected by her, making her a little nervous. It's like I'm getting married tomorrow.
…
Xu Tianyin said he would arrive at ten in the morning, but Xia Zhiyuan and Li Juan got up early and started working.
Xia Zhiyuan first drove to Shili Village and picked up the two elderly people. When he returned home, the Xia family's relatives were also there. Four families gathered together, not one was missing! The men took out the firecrackers and planned what time to set off the firecrackers. The women were busy in the kitchen, and Zhang Ruman took Xia Rongxue to accompany her in Xia Shao's house.
"Sister, are you nervous?" Zhang Ruman leaned against the wall with her arms crossed, smiling jokingly.
"It's not like you're getting married, why are you nervous?" Xia Shao smiled.
"Aren't you nervous? Then you were dressed up like a flower early in the morning and have been looking in front of the mirror for two hours." Zhang Ruman revealed mercilessly that she wanted to take revenge because her sister scolded her yesterday.
Xia Shao chuckled and glanced at Zhang Ruman. She was not dressed up compared to attending formal occasions such as dances, but she got up early and sat in front of the mirror for two hours, tying her hair and applying makeup. Although it is just a light makeup, every stroke has her intention. To be honest, she had never been as nervous as she had been this morning when facing the world's cameras that night when the mural was returned.
But she was nervous, and Xia Shao still had a light smile on her face. She waved and called Xia Rongxue over, teasing her while easing her nervousness.
"Sister." Xia Rongxue called sweetly. The ten-year-old girl was wearing a pink dress today. Her big eyes looked timidly, and her pink and attractive face made her look lovable. .
Zhang Ruman glanced over and sighed: "Sister, what if you got married today? Rongxue happens to be your flower girl, and she's not too old yet."
Xia Shao ignored her. At this time, Jiang Qiulin's surprised voice came from outside.
"Hurry up, hurry up! It's almost ten o'clock, I see a car is coming over there! Sister-in-law, have you changed your clothes? If you don't hurry up, Xiao Xu will come into the house!"
Xia Shao's back straightened immediately, and she raised her throat in one breath. Zhang Ruman's eyes lit up, and she pulled Xia Rongxue and ran out, "Let's go out to watch the fun! Sister, you are not allowed to come out!"
The door slammed shut, and only the sounds of happy people could be heard outside. Li Juan shouted in the room, "That's it!"
After a while, the sound of trotting footsteps came, accompanied by Li Juan's mumbling, "I just said that I should change my clothes before going to the kitchen, but you asked me to change first."
"Isn't this because I'm afraid you'll get dirty in the kitchen?"
"Don't you have an apron?"
"Oh, stop talking, hurry up! Xiao Xu is at the door!"
There was a sound of women chirping, and then there was the sound of a large group of people walking towards the door. The group of people left quickly, and the sound of footsteps gradually became quieter in an instant.
Xia Shao was the only one left in the room, and only then did she hear her nervous heartbeat.
Thump, thump...
At this time, the Xia family had already arrived at the door. The family looked outside and were stunned.
I saw a military Land Rover leading the way on a garden-like winding road in the distance, and there was actually a car following behind! The two cars were already in front of them and just had to stop. They were obviously coming to the Xia family's house.
"W-How can this..." Xia Zhitao was a little dazed, and Xia Zhiyuan and Li Juan, standing in front, were also a little dazed.
At this time, the car stopped. Two young men got out of the military Land Rover in front, surprising the Xia family again.
Xu Tianyin was wearing a crisp expensive suit and a silver-black shirt, and his eyebrows were as lonely as ever. As soon as he got off the car, he looked at the Xia family in their costumes and said to Xia Zhiyuan and Li Juan who were standing at the front: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law."
This, this change of words is too early, I haven’t even entered the house yet...
Xia Zhiyuan had no choice but to respond with a smile. Li Juan smiled happily and nodded: "Hey! It's good that Xiao Xu is here. Are you tired of driving on the road? This is..."
The whole family looked at Xu Tianyin with curiosity. Who is that handsome young man in a white suit and smiling
"Hello, uncle, hello, aunt. My surname is Qin, Qin Hanlin, you can just call me Xiao Qin." Qin Hanlin replied with a smile, his eyes fell on the Xia family at the door, and fell accurately on one of the people standing among them.
Zhang Ruman was stunned, never expecting to see Qin Hanlin today. What's this bastard doing here
The old Xia family was shocked, "Qin?"
The person standing with Xu Tianyin, whose surname is Qin, has already revealed his identity.
"Oh, you, you... Secretary Qin!" Only then did Zhang Qixiang recognize Qin Hanlin. Although he has worked in Qingshi for several years, how can Qin Hanlin, a young and promising secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, be in his position? He usually only saw her in photos in the director's office, but today he had to see her in person. If he hadn't reported his family name, he wouldn't have recognized him at all.
Zhang Qixiang quickly came down and shook hands with Qin Hanlin. Qin Hanlin smiled brightly. While shaking hands with Zhang Qixiang, he waved his other hand and said with a cheerful smile: "Uncle, you're welcome, I'm resigning, I'm resigning!"
How dare Zhang Qixiang call him his uncle? But after hearing what he said next, I remembered that Qin Hanlin's term had indeed expired and he had resigned and returned to Beijing to report on his duties.
"I am accompanying this boy Tianyin to propose marriage today. As a private person, my uncle can just call me Xiao Qin." Qin Hanlin said with a smile.
"Haha." Zhang Qixiang smiled and did not dare to respond to his words. He just looked back at Xia Zhiyuan.
The Xia family was shocked. Today was the day that Xu Tianyin came to the house to present the engagement. No one expected that he would bring Qin Hanlin with him. This is the young master of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection!
Fortunately, Xia Zhiyuan reacted quickly. It seemed that he was Xu Tianyin's future father-in-law, and he was calmer than others about the status of officials in the capital. He immediately smiled and shook Qin Hanlin's hand to express welcome, and was about to lead him home when he remembered that there was a car coming from behind.
Xu Tianyin and Qin Hanlin got out of a car just now, and the car behind was...
"Xiao Xu, who's behind?" Xia Zhiyuan asked.
Xu Tianyin nodded slightly and said, "Father-in-law, grandpa is here."
“…”
Um
The Xia family was stunned. Before Xia Zhiyuan realized what the word "grandpa" meant, he saw Xu Tianyin walking towards the car behind him. He walked over and knocked on the car window before opening the car door.
Four men in plain clothes got out of the car first. They all looked to be in their thirties and had iron-faced faces. The four people stood in front of and behind the car, standing with their hands behind their hands, just protecting the car in the middle. Even from a distance, the momentum was so startling that the Xia family stood there and did not dare to move. They only dared to stare.
Xia Zhiyuan stood at the front, watching helplessly as Xu Tianyin opened the car door and helped an old man out.
The old man is holding a mahogany dragon-head cane, his back is straight, his face is red, and his eyebrows are majestic. Wearing a summer Tang suit of navy blue with red edges, he looked majestic and a little joyful.
After getting out of the car, the old man took a look at the house in front of him and nodded slightly, obviously thinking that the scenery was good. After looking at it, he looked at the Xia family in front, but his sight was blocked by the guard in front, and then he said: "Didn't I tell you along the way not to show up like this? Xiao Zhang, lead them and stand beside them! It’s blocking me.”
When the old man opened his mouth, his voice was like a loud bell, which was quite bright, showing that he was in very good health.
As soon as Uncle Zhang waved, the guard stood aside and cleared the way ahead.
Only then did the old man see the Xia family clearly, and his eyes fell accurately on Xia Zhiyuan. It was obvious that he had already seen the Xia family's information, "Is this the in-laws?"
relatives by marriage…
Xia Zhiyuan was shocked. This sentence shocked him awake, but his eyes still looked dazed, "Old, old chairman?"
His voice was still filled with disbelief, not to mention the large family behind him.
Xu Kangguo smiled and waved his hand, "What's wrong with the chairman? I am Tianyin's grandfather. This child came back for a visit last time, and his uncle came here. This time when he came back to see off the engagement, it would be rude not to have any elders with him. I Grandpa is coming. It won’t be too disturbing, right?”
"Don't disturb, don't disturb! Welcome, welcome!" Xia Zhiyuan waved hurriedly, then remembered to go forward to greet him, strode over quickly, and shook hands with the old man. When shaking hands, Xia Zhiyuan's heart was pounding and his hands were shaking with excitement.
This old man is the only remaining meritorious old man in the Republic! Xia Zhiyuan, the founding father and still the Vice Chairman of the Republic, never expected that he would suddenly appear at his door today!
Xia Zhiyuan glanced at Xu Tianyin, who was supporting the old man next to him, "You kid, why didn't you tell us in advance?"
"What did you say?" Xu Kangguo waved his hand, "I didn't let him say it. You know that when I come, you don't have to work anymore? You don't have to work anymore. We are all a family. Just be casual."
Xia Zhiyuan had no choice but to smile bitterly and nod. What else could he say? Everyone is already in front of me, "Then, please come in quickly!"
Xia Zhiyuan led Xu Kangguo into the courtyard. The Xia family members standing at the door of the courtyard were still shocked. Seeing the guards following Xu Kangguo, they stepped aside one after another, but their eyes were still fixed on Xu Kangguo, as if they couldn't believe this. The old man was right in front of him.
In fact, ever since they learned that the Xu family recognized Xia Shao, the old Xia family knew that this day would come sooner or later, but the family always felt that they would have to go to the capital during the Chinese New Year to see him. After all, this old man is not an ordinary citizen. There are many departments that have to be arranged and alerted when a national leader travels. The old man is old, and no one expected him to leave the capital.
It takes twelve hours by car from Beijing to Dongshi, but he can actually bear it! If something happens on the road, who can afford it
The Xia family was shocked, but in any case, the old man had arrived, and it was more of a surprise than a shock.
The third time they entered the house, Xia Shao set up a feng shui bureau in the house, and when she walked in, she felt that the air was particularly pleasant. It was late summer, and the flowers and plants in the yard were growing very well. Xu Kangguo walked by vigorously and praised: "I heard that this house was bought by a girl? She knows how to choose a place. This place is good for retirement!"
Xia Zhiyuan stood by and smiled, "That child is very filial to us, but she is too busy and only comes back after the holidays. Her mother always misses her."
"You should be filial to your elders. I think this girl will be even busier in the future. When these two children get married, let them take you to live in the capital and be filial. As children, no matter how busy you are, you must respect your elders."
"Haha, the capital is a good place, but we may not be used to it. This house is quite nice. Let's discuss it when the time comes. Her mother and I are not old enough to need help yet."
"This house is quite good, and the retirement care is better than the capital." Xu Kangguo nodded.
We chatted all the way through the Mingtang and arrived at the living room. Xia Zhiyuan winked at Li Juan, who quickly entered the door first and said to Xia Guoxi and Jiang Shuhui who were sitting in the living room waiting for Xu Tianyin: "Mom and Dad, Mr. Xu is here!"
What
The two old men were stunned, their expressions were similar to those of Xia Zhiyuan and others just now, they both thought there was something wrong with their ears.
At this time, I heard a loud bell-like sound coming from the door!
