Chapter 1271 What A Pity, What A Pity

When Old Jiang heard that, his heart was filled with joy, government officials are indeed different, they’re even better at arranging dinners than businessmen like them, he laughed as he tried to tie them closer, “Little Brother Qin, you can take this opportunity to discover the Provincial City, there’s no need for you to return to the capital in such a hurry.”

He had already opened the private booth’s door, Ye Zhifan, who rose to his feet to send him off, walked over, “Old Jiang, you’ve done well, if Old Mister Cao hadn’t arrived yet, you must come back and have a drink or two with us.”

While he was talking, he leaned closer and whispered, “Thanks a lot, Old Jiang.”

“Director Ye, don’t say that like I’m a stranger.” Old Jiang, with a slightly balding head, caressed his forehead out of habit, he then glanced at Qin Yi, who was chatting with Sun Dongqing, he said with a quick yet light tone as he reminded: “Director Ye, Mister Qin’s family members are all influential people that secured their place in the provincial city, my Jiang family and the Qin family are in-laws. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to get him here. He’s also quite the forthright man, I think you and him would get along well, why don’t you strike while the iron is hot tonight, and mention to him how you’re trying to send your young lady into the Beijing Political Party.”

“To tell you the truth, although the Qin family is a line of diplomats, the people they know in the military are all high-tiered generals. If the Qin family agreed, no matter which party your young lady wants to get into, she’ll be able to get that.”

The reason Ye Zhifan had chosen such a fancy place to set up a dinner arrangement, naturally, he had also investigated the family situation of Old Jiang who was talking to him right now, his heart understood that everything that was said was truthful words.

His gaze glanced at Qin Yi, who was politely conversing with his wife, the smile on his face deepened by a little as Ye Zhifan spoke out in a meaningful tone: “Old Jiang, if my daughter’s matter gets handled, then the situation on your side will also go through.”

On the side, Sun Dongqing complimented: “Mister Qin is young and promising, deserving of someone from the famous families, and only the Qin family could raise excellent talents like Mister Qin here. Unlike the small families like us, wanting to send our daughter into a higher place, but we don’t have the ability, so we could do nothing except for being anxious.”

Sun Dongqing doesn’t have much to hide while she spoke, after drinking and eating for some time now. Still, they hadn’t even bring up the topic of her daughter wanting to enlist; it’s hard for her to contain the anxiousness in her heart, so she didn’t mince her words as she spoke outrightly, since he already knew why their family had hosted this dinner for him anyways.

For her daughter’s future, this was Sun Dongqing’s first time lowering her pride to compliment a young person, “We’re already old, and don’t have the power to pave a road for our children. Even when our daughter wanted to enlist as an art soldier, our whole family had gray hairs from worrying about it.

“Director Ye, your wife, had just brought up business, then I’ll excuse myself while you and Little Brother Qin discuss these matters; I’ll come back later tonight.” When Old Jiang heard the conversation, he guessed that there would be some under the table deals happening, so his heart that was like a clear mirror wouldn’t allow him to stay here any longer, no matter what, he can only return at least half an hour later.

As to checking whether or not Old Mister Cao had arrived, that was just his excuse.

It was Old Mister Cao’s 80th birthday, whether or not Qin Yi appeared really doesn’t matter.

Two figures walked past outside of the open booth; after that, someone walked back and looked straight into the booth.

Ye Zhifan, who was about to speak, stared at the figures who had just walked past, his pupils narrowed as he subconsciously pressed his lips together; he just bumped into a familiar person… Principal Cao of First Provincial High.

Principal Cao didn’t have any intention to catch up with Ye Zhifan. He walked back to the booth’s doorway as he patted the shoulder of Old Jiang, who was talking, “Why did you come all the way here? Yu Xiang is looking for you everywhere, she’s calling you to greet the guests at the door.”

”Suddenly having his back patted, Old Jiang was already frightened. After immediately hearing Principal Cao’s voice, he was so scared that his heart tightened in his chest; he turned around and replied with a face that was stiff and had a bad complexion, “Oh Second Uncle, I just bumped into someone familiar, and came over to greet them.”
