The driver saw Tang Ye's inner anxiety and couldn't help but smile: "Assistant Tang, as long as you take it seriously, any gift will be the same. I think Miss Xu has seen a lot of those jewelry, right?"

Tang Ye didn't expect that even the driver would be so aware, so he couldn't help but smile and said: "I'm quite impressed. Okay, let's go directly to Yonghe Hotel."

Yonghe Hotel is a property of Julong Group and one of the top three star hotels in Wuling City.

After Tang Ye got out of the car, he realized that Xu Qing's family background was just as the driver said.

There are all kinds of luxury cars parked in front of the hotel, and judging from the license plate numbers, they come from all over the country, not just in HB province.

Tang Ye walked into the hotel, and two rows of hot-looking hostesses bent down and said, "Welcome."

A beautiful woman who was obviously the foreman came over and said with a smile: "Are you attending Miss Xu's birthday party?"

Tang Ye nodded and said, "Yes."

The beautiful woman smiled and said: "Please register here."

"Okay." Tang Ye left his name on the roster provided by the beautiful woman.

"Haha, Mr. Tang, come here." As soon as Tang Ye finished filling in his name, he saw Han Qizheng toasting to him with a smile on his face.

Tang Ye smiled and walked over.

Han Qizheng was surrounded by three middle-aged people, one of whom Tang Ye knew, was Wuling Municipal Party Committee Secretary Dong Dachuan.

Dong Dachuan also raised his wine glass towards Tang Ye and said with a smile: "Mr. Tang's style is still the same."

Tang Ye smiled and said: "Secretary Dong is the one who remains the same."

Dong Dachuan said: "Mr. Han, can I go and talk with Mr. Tang alone?"

Han Qizheng smiled and said: "Of course, Brother Xu hasn't come yet. I'll wait for him here."

Dong Dachuan smiled and said: "Mr. Tang, please come this way."

Tang Ye smiled and said: "Secretary Dong, please call me Xiaoye."

"Okay, I'll ask you to call me Xiaoye." Dong Dachuan and Tang Ye walked into a private tea room. Dong Dachuan washed and brewed the tea himself, then made a cup of tea for Tang Ye and said, "Try it.

, this is the authentic Yunnan ancient tree Pu'er, and only Mr. Han is so lucky to drink it."

Tang Ye smiled and said, "Aren't we also drinking?"

Dong Dachuan laughed and said: "Yes, this is Mr. Han's convincing."

Dong Dachuan raised his cup, took a sip of tea, and said, "I heard from Qiaoqiao that you had a conflict with Qiaoqiao's uncle?"

Tang Ye knew that this was what Dong Dachuan was asking about, and said softly: "It's not a contradiction. If he thinks it is a contradiction, then I will agree."

Dong Dachuan sighed and said, "You are still young and energetic."

Dong Dachuan added some more tea to Tang Ye and said: "Actually, I don't object to the matter between you and Qiaoqiao at all. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I never force my children's marriage. I also grew up from a poor boy back then.

Step by step we got to where we are now.”

Tang Ye fell silent and did not speak.

Dong Dachuan continued: "Qiaoqiao's grandfather has been very fond of her since she was very young, and even arranged a baby marriage for her. I never told Qiaoqiao about this."

Tang Ye raised his head and frowned slightly: "Baby kiss? Does this kind of decadent social custom still exist?"

Dong Dachuan shook his head and said: "That's the problem. Qiaoqiao's grandfather, my father-in-law, was a very feudal man. When he was the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, he and the provincial governor were old classmates and comrades-in-arms.

They have carried guns together, so the old man got excited and made an appointment for this baby marriage. Therefore, Qiaoqiao has enjoyed preferential treatment that ordinary children and grandchildren have not enjoyed since she was a child, and all her uncles doted on her.

She, let her."

Tang Ye heard the meaning of the words and said in a deep voice: "Because of her fiancé whom she has never met?"

Dong Dachuan glanced at Tang Ye approvingly. He liked to communicate with smart people, at least it was effortless. Dong Dachuan nodded and said: "Yes, after the Cultural Revolution, the provincial governor fell to the central ministries and commissions, and his disciples were all over the world.

His instructions before his death still kept this child marriage in mind. The year before last, the old leader's eldest son, who was the deputy minister of health at the time, personally came to hb to see my old man and mentioned this marriage again.

.”

What a great background!

Tang Ye felt a little pity for Dong Dachuan. Under the checks and balances of so many big people, Dong Dachuan must have lived a very uncomfortable life. He could not even make the decision for the rest of his daughter's life. This is really the tragedy of being a parent.

Dong Dachuan sighed: "Now you understand, Xiaoye, you have helped me a lot, so I have to stop you on this matter. There are many good girls. You and Qiaoqiao, forget it."

Forget it? Tang Ye sneered, stood up and said: "So what if you are a high-ranking official? I, Tang Ye, have never flinched on the battlefield, nor will I flinch in love. I don't care what minister's son he is, I still say the same thing.

If you have the ability, take Qiaoqiao away from me, otherwise, just bless us silently."

Dong Dachuan met Tang Ye's firm gaze and suddenly laughed. He raised the tea and laughed and said: "Okay, if you have the guts, come and have a drink, my son-in-law!"

Dong Dachuan appreciated Tang Ye more and more. Tang Ye raised his teacup and drank a cup with Dong Dachuan. He drank the tea in one gulp and said, "Tasting tea is not our style. Let's change the wine!"

"Haha, yes!" Dong Dachuan vaguely seemed to have returned to the era of hard work, the same fearlessness, the same high-spiritedness.

Tang Ye went out and brought in a few glasses of red wine. The two of them drank glasses of each other and drank happily.

After drinking for three rounds, Dong Dachuan looked at Tang Ye and said: "When I pursued Qiaoqiao's mother, the resistance was greater than yours now. I was just a poor boy from the countryside, and Qiaoqiao's mother was an educated youth who went to the countryside.

, or the daughter of a senior official in the province, what happened in the end? I still won it, boy, you need to have this kind of perseverance in life, otherwise it will be useless? "

Tang Ye poured another glass of red wine for Dong Dachuan and said respectfully: "Father-in-law, Xiaoye has learned a lesson."

When Han Qizheng walked into the tea room, he was completely stunned. The old man and the young man drank it themselves, and the banquet hadn't even started yet.

Han Qizheng walked over with a wry smile and said, "Secretary Dong, can't you be too drunk?"

Dong Dachuan smiled and said: "Drinking too much? Didn't you read the reporter's report? Three pounds is enough for a division-level official, and three pounds for a department-level official is just full? I won't drink too much even if I'm full. Mr. Han, my son-in-law will pay

I'll give it to you, don't think I'm using my official position to blackmail you. If you embarrass him, I'll come to settle the score with you when I retire and have no official position."

Han Qizheng smiled bitterly and said, "Secretary Dong, you really drank too much."

Han Qizheng looked at an empty bottle of brandy on the ground, three empty bottles of strong red wine and an empty bottle of beer, and wondered if these two guys were wine barrels?

Dong Dachuan stood up, pointed at Tang Ye and said word by word: "This child - has a future - he is my son-in-law, no one can take him away!"

After saying this, Dong Dachuan fell to the ground drunkenly.

Han Qizheng quickly hugged Dong Dachuan and called several waiters to carry Dong Dachuan into the presidential suite above.

He wiped his cold sweat, looked at Tang Ye and said, "Mr. Tang, you should also go up and rest for a while."

"I'm fine." Tang Ye held the table with both hands. After a while, traces of transparent liquid began to leak from his fingertips.

Han Qizheng's eyes widened and he murmured: "Mr. Tang, what are you-"

Tang Ye said: "I have used my internal strength to force out the alcohol. Mr. Han, I told you, from now on, call me Xiaoye, and stop calling me Mr. Tang."

Han Qizheng smiled and said, "Aren't you used to it? Then don't call me Mr. Han. Just call me Uncle Han or Lao Han!"

Tang Ye smiled and said: "Then I will call you Uncle Han."

Han Qizheng said to the two etiquette ladies beside him: "Make Assistant Tang a cup of tea to relieve the hangover."

"Yes!" The two etiquette ladies quickly made tea for Tang Ye.

After drinking a few sips of tea, Tang Ye stood up and said, "Is Xu Qing not here yet?"

Han Qizheng said: "Not yet."

Tang Ye smiled and said: "Uncle Han, you are so tight-lipped. You didn't say it until now."

Han Qizheng smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't mean it. Xu Qing is my wife's niece. Xu Qing's father is Xue'er's uncle. Xue'er's mother died young. I never saw her from the time I met her until she passed away."

Her natal family, well, when I heard the news several times before, she said she had no family anymore."

Tang Ye frowned and said, "Is there any hidden secret in this?"

"Yes." Han Qizheng nodded and sighed: "Some time ago, people from Xu Qing's family came here and found my office. Only then did I know Ru Yun's life experience."

Xu Ruyun is Han Qizheng's wife and the only one.

Han Qizheng waved his hand and asked the etiquette ladies to go out, then sat on a stool and continued: "Have you heard of the Red Gang?"

"Red Gang? You mean Ge Laohui?" Tang Ye said in surprise.

Han Qizheng nodded and said, "Yes, it's Brother Lao Hui."

Tang Ye nodded and said: "I know, Ge Lao is one of the three major gangs as famous as the Hongmen and Qinggang."

Han Qizheng said: "Yes, after liberation, the three major gangs planned to merge into one, elect Situ Meitang as the chief sect leader, and establish the World Zhi Gong Tang. Unfortunately, with the death of Situ Meitang, the three major gangs separated again.

There are constant fighting all over the world, and the head of the Xu family is the head of the Red Gang."

"What?" Tang Ye said in surprise: "Xu Qing is the daughter of the elder brother of Ge Laohui?"

Han Qizheng nodded and said: "That's right, when the Green and Red gangs were fighting, the Hongmen intervened, resulting in the Red Gang's defeat. Xu Qing's grandfather escaped with seven swords in his hands, while Xu Qing's grandma was hit by a stray bullet in that fight.

Death, my wife was still young at the time. After witnessing all this, she wandered to hb alone until she met me."

Tang Ye sighed softly: "It's no wonder, Aunt Han's strong will is really admirable."

Han Qizheng shook his head and said: "I hope her will is not so firm, at least she can see her family in the last journey of her life."

Speaking of sadness, Han Qizheng lowered his head and wiped his tears.

Tang Ye quickly said: "Uncle Han, we don't want to worry about the sadness. You have at least contacted Aunt Han's family and taken good care of the Xu family for Aunt Han. Isn't this also a comfort?"

Han Qizheng laughed at himself and said: "I don't have the ability to take care of it. The Xu family's Hanliu Group is one of the top ten groups in the south. Even state-owned enterprises are far behind. I'd better forget about my group."

Tang Ye smiled and said: "Uncle Han, how do you know that Julong Group will not be as good as Hanliu Group in the future?"

Han Qizheng looked up at Tang Ye, suddenly smiled and said, "Yes, the dragon will take off one day."

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the tea room, and a woman said outside: "Mr. Han, Miss Xu is here."
