In the courtyard of the Qin family, Qin Fan and Luo Yuhuan sat together, watching those relatives who were usually aloof and showing the most humble smiles in front of his parents, but there was no sadness or joy in his heart.
In the three thousand years of the Immortal Realm, he has already experienced the harshness of the world and is used to the complexity of human nature. Naturally, the behavior of these relatives is nothing in his eyes.
Qin Fan would not refuse anyone who came to toast him. With his cultivation, no matter how much he drank, as long as he didn't want to get drunk, nothing would happen to him.
Qin Mingde and Qin Dezhi also gathered together, and they felt like they were in the same boat.
"Brother Dezhi, we are in trouble this time!" Qin Mingde sighed helplessly.
Qin Dezhi shook his head seriously: "There is still one last hope!"
"Oh? Is there anything else you can do?" Qin Mingde and others immediately looked at Qin Dezhi curiously.
In this situation, it is really difficult for them to make a comeback.
Qin Rong, Qin Lei and other juniors also looked at Qin Dezhi curiously.
Qin Dezhi picked up the wine glass, raised his head and drank it in one gulp. The wine glass was placed heavily on the table with a loud bang.
"I invited Governor Jiang years ago. If he can come, then even the Su family, the Ye family, and the people here will not be afraid."
"Chief Jiang!" Qin Jianxin looked shocked and stuttered a little.
"This is a master of the first realm! A big shot who will go directly to the imperial court in the future!"
Qin Mingde nodded with surprise on his face: "Yes, if Governor Jiang can come, then these people will naturally have nothing to fear!"
"However, Brother Dezhi, you haven't taken office yet. Will Governor Jiang come?"
Qin Dezhi shook his head and sighed: "Well, Governor Jiang didn't refuse at that time, but he didn't say he would definitely come. Let's wait. If he doesn't come after a while, then let's admit defeat!"
Hope rekindled on Qin Rong's face. He looked at Qin Dezhi and said seriously: "Dad, I believe Governor Jiang will definitely come!"
"We will not lose, and we cannot lose! In the future, the Qin family will still rely on you to support us!"
Qin Dezhi nodded and looked at his son with admiration: "You are right. We must not be discouraged and must believe in ourselves."
However, Qin Mingde and others are not optimistic about it. Governor Jiang is a powerful figure with great power. His status is higher than Mr. Su. And Qin Dezhi has not yet entered the provincial capital. Governor Jiang will give him this face.
?
Suddenly, the roll call outside sounded again: "The chief of Nansu Jiangfu has arrived!"
Qin Rong stood up suddenly, with surprise on his face: "Dad, here we come!"
Qin Mingde, Qin Jianxin and others also looked ecstatic: "Brother Dezhi, congratulations, I didn't expect you to be so proud. Governor Jiang is really here!"
Qin Dezhi was also extremely excited, but he suppressed it and tried his best to appear calm.
"Qin Rong, follow me to meet Governor Jiang!"
Soon, a short man in his fifties, wearing a Chinese tunic suit and meticulously combed hair, walked in with several of his subordinates.
Although he has a smile and a kind attitude, there is an invisible aura about him that makes people look up to him.
Qin Dezhi hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hands and held Governor Jiang's hand.
"Brother Jiang's great presence has made my Qin family shine!"
Governor Jiang smiled politely and said: "Brother Qin and I are so polite. We will be colleagues from now on. We should move around more, right?"
"Let's go, take me to pay New Year's greetings to Mr. Qin!"
Qin Dezhi stepped aside with joy on his face and made a gesture of invitation: "Brother Jiang, please!"
Jiang Yunshan locked his eyes on the position of the three elders of the Qin family and walked straight forward. Before anyone arrived, he cupped his fists and greeted: "Mr. Qin, Xiao Jiang wishes you a happy new year!"
Facing Governor Jiang, Qin Guoliang and the others did not dare to neglect, and they all stood up to greet him.
Qin Guoliang smiled and said: "You have been promoted to the governor now and have great responsibilities. I don't dare to call you Xiaojiang anymore."
Jiang Yunshan chuckled and said, "Mr. Qin is joking, in front of you, I will always be Xiao Jiang."
Jiang Yunshan used to be Qin Guoliang's secretary, equivalent to Qin Rong's position beside Mr. Su Da. Qin Dezhi understood that Governor Jiang's visit this time was probably more for the old man's sake.
After a few more polite words, Qin Dezhi greeted Jiang Yunshan to take a seat.
Jiang Yunshan glanced at the people surrounding Qin Fan, his eyes slightly startled!
"That's Mr. Su from Zhongzhou! And Mr. Murong from Jiangnan!"
"There are also the Huo family, the Chu family, the Luo family...even the head of the Ye family in Kyoto is here!"
He looked at Qin Dezhi curiously and asked, "Brother Dezhi, what's going on? Are Mr. Su and others also here to pay New Year's greetings to Mr. Qin?"
Qin Dezhi's face froze and he was speechless.
Qin Guoliang laughed: "How can I have such a big reputation? They are all here for my grandson!"
Jiang Yunshan became even more curious: "Your grandson! How is this possible?"
Jiang Yunshan couldn't imagine that someone like Mr. Su would come to attack a junior of the Qin family!
Qin Guoliang did not explain, he laughed and said: "I can't explain this to you, because even I don't know why."
Jiang Yunshan became even more curious. He turned to Qin Dezhi and said, "Brother Dezhi, can you call that young hero over and let me have a look?"
"Brother Jiang has your destiny, how dare you disobey it!" Qin Dezhi turned to Qin Rong and said, "Go and bring Qin Fan over and let him meet with Governor Jiang!"
"yes!"
Qin Rong's mouth showed a hint of pride, his face returned to that arrogant look, and he turned around and walked towards Qin Fan.
On Qin Fan's side, the relatives who had just been fawning over Mr. Su and others, now saw Governor Jiang sitting next to Qin Dezhi, they immediately took advantage of the situation and walked towards Qin Dezhi again.
Deputy City Secretary Yang and others immediately bid farewell to Mr. Su and others and returned to Qin Dezhi.
"Brother Dezhi, Governor Jiang is here, why didn't you call me!" Deputy City Secretary Yang laughed, not feeling ashamed at all because he had just abandoned Qin Dezhi and ran to Qin Fan.
Jiang Yunshan chuckled and said, "Brother Yang is here too! It seems that Brother Dezhi is quite proud!"
Qin Dezhi hurriedly said modestly: "Brother Jiang is joking, it's all because of you!"
The three of them talked about business with each other here, and Qin Rong also came to Qin Fan.
Qin Rong looked at Qin Fan who was sitting on the chair, chatting and laughing with the big guys, and there was an uncontrollable hint of jealousy in his eyes.
"Hmph, if you are not strong yourself, no matter how many connections you have, what's the use? The Qin family will ultimately rely on our family for support!"
Qin Fan turned to look at him and chuckled: "You praised connections very much before, but now you say connections are useless. Isn't it contradictory?"
Qin Rong was not afraid at all and said arrogantly: "Connections are naturally useful, but you must first be strong yourself. If virtue is not matched, or connections are obtained with the help of others, it will naturally be useless!"
Qin Fan chuckled and said, "Do you think I got all these connections with the help of others?"
Qin Rong sneered: "Isn't it?"
Qin Fan shook his head. He was extremely disappointed with this young leader of the Qin family. His idol in his youth had completely collapsed.
"What brings you here?"
Qin Rong crossed his arms with an arrogant look on his face: "Prefect Jiang wants to see you, and my dad asked me to call you over."
Mr. Su, Master Ye and others paused slightly while holding the wine glasses, and all looked at Qin Fan.
Qin Fan smiled faintly, turned around and poured himself a glass of wine: "If he wants to see me, just ask him to come over."
Qin Rong's eyes widened and he said angrily: "What did you say!"
