"Forget it, just listen to mom, the private rooms here are not necessarily that good." Lan Linlin said the same.
"Okay, that's all." Ye Haoxuan said helplessly.
Fortunately, the hotel lobby was relatively spacious. Ye Haoxuan chose a better seat and sat down. After ordering the food, the family sat at the table drinking tea and chatting.
At this moment, a surprised voice rang: "Second uncle, second aunt?"
Ye Haoxuan looked back and saw a woman about thirty years old standing in front of the two of them. The woman was wearing gold and silver and jewelry. This woman looked somewhat similar to Lan Linlin.
"Lingling, when did you come back?" Lan Mu stood up and said with a smile.
"Cousin, long time no see." Lan Linlin also stood up.
This woman's name is Lan Ling, and she is the daughter of Uncle Lan Linlin's family. Due to the rift between Lan's father and her eldest brother, the two families do not have much contact.
"Haha, I've been back to Yuancheng for a while, and I got married." Lan Ling said with a somewhat hypocritical smile. She always looked down on her second uncle's family. The two families didn't have much contact with each other. Even if they met and said hello, they would only say hello.
Just a few words and then leave.
"Congratulations to my cousin." Lan Linlin said lightly. She knew her cousin's shortcomings. She just liked to show off her superiority.
"Lingling, you won't even say anything about getting married." Lan's mother is kind-hearted. Although there is a gap between the two families, marriage is a big deal after all. The behavior of the eldest brother's family is a bit disappointing.
"Haha, I'm an official, so I'm afraid you won't be used to it if I ask you to go." Lan Ling's words were filled with a hint of contempt, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable. What she meant was that you are too high to reach.
Lan Mu was startled and felt a little unhappy.
"Cousin, you haven't changed after such a long time." Lan Linlin said coldly. Lan Ling's problems have not changed. She has always liked to show off her superiority and is the kind of person who hates the rich and laughs at the poor. Now she is married.
A civil servant, why don't you hurry up and play the piano?
"That's right, everyone said that I take good care of myself." Lan Ling said proudly, and then she changed the topic and said, "My cousin is not young this year, right? It has been more than a year since she graduated. Don't you think about life-long events?"
"Thank you for your concern, cousin. This is my boyfriend, Ye Haoxuan." Lan Linlin pointed to Ye Haoxuan.
"Hello, cousin." Ye Haoxuan stood up with a smile.
"Oh, that's good. What kind of industry are you working in for someone who looks like a talented person?" Lan Ling couldn't help but said a little sourly when she saw that Ye Haoxuan was quite handsome, much more stylish than his guy.
"He is a famous doctor." Ye Haoxuan reported his occupation habitually.
"Oh, doctor, has the internship period expired now? Which hospital in Qingyuan do you want to practice at? Why don't you come to Yuancheng after your internship? My husband has someone in the medical system. Let him introduce it to you. Maybe he can become a attending physician.
." Lan Ling breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Ye Haoxuan declare his profession. Fortunately, he was just a small doctor.
Lan Linlin was speechless. She knew what her cousin was like, and when she heard Ye Haoxuan reported his profession, she would definitely suppress her. But she didn't know that Ye Haoxuan, a doctor, was much better than the dean here.
"No need, I am now a dean after all. Should I leave the dean alone and become an attending physician?" Ye Haoxuan smiled and returned the favor calmly.
"Dean?" Lan Ling looked at Ye Haoxuan with disdain, "You are bragging and you don't make drafts. With your young age, you can't do it so fast even if you have background. If you want to be the dean, you are going crazy. Cousin
, are you sure there is nothing wrong with his head?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lan Lin's cell phone rang. She answered the call and immediately changed her gentle look: "Hey, hubby, I've already made arrangements. I've booked this place. There's enough space.
Dad is celebrating his fiftieth birthday tonight, so we can’t be vague, just like this...bye."
After hanging up the phone, Lan Ling put on a condescending smile and said: "Linlin, my father-in-law is celebrating his birthday tonight. He is a retired cadre of the Water Conservancy Bureau and has many connections. Why don't you bring your boyfriend with you?"
Well, let me introduce some people to him."
"No need." Lan Linlin said expressionlessly.
How could she not know what this cousin is thinking? On the surface, she looks like a good person and wants to introduce people to her, but in fact, she is taking the opportunity to show off her connections.
"You're welcome, we're just one family. You see, my second uncle doesn't have much ability. He's just an intern when he finds a son-in-law. As a cousin, I'm worried about your family." Lan Ling said exaggeratedly.
"Okay, thank you cousin first. I will definitely be there tonight." Ye Haoxuan said lightly. He was extremely unhappy. Since this woman deserves a slap, he would take the opportunity to give her a good slap.
"Gee, you better be aware of current affairs. I'll be here at eight o'clock in the evening. See you there or not." Lan Ling smiled proudly, then turned and left.
"What did you promise her to do? Can't you see what her intentions are?" Lan Linlin said with some displeasure.
"It's just about showing off her superiority. Haha, let's come together tonight and see how wide her network of contacts is." Ye Haoxuan sneered.
"Hey, people nowadays are all comparing themselves to each other." Lan Mu helplessly shook her head.
After lunch, Ye Haoxuan and Lan Linlin strolled around Yuancheng. They had not been back to Yuancheng for a long time, and the changes here were quite big.
Lan Linlin held Ye Haoxuan's arm and said, "Actually, it's more comfortable to live in a small place like this. You don't have to travel around all day. If I get old, I will definitely go back to my hometown to spend my remaining years."
"I'll accompany you." Ye Haoxuan smiled.
"Do you have time to accompany me? What will you do with all those women?" Lan Linlin rolled her eyes at Ye Haoxuan.
"Let's gather together and form a big family. Hey, when the time comes, we will hug each other, how happy we are." Ye Haoxuan said a little obscenely.
"What you think is beautiful, does the palace empress agree?" Lan Linlin said.
"She will agree. When I finish what I want to do and achieve my goals, we will find a place, build a big house, and live together." Ye Haoxuan said.
"Just be obscene." Lan Linlin didn't believe Ye Haoxuan's lies.
It's just that she didn't know that within a few years, they really lived such a life. These are all things for later.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Ye Haoxuan and Lan Linlin went to their appointment on time. Lan Ling's father-in-law is a retired cadre of the Water Conservancy Bureau, and her husband also works in the Water Conservancy Bureau now. He is said to be an official, but in fact he is just a junior clerk at the bottom. However,
Since my father had a wide network of contacts in the Water Conservancy Bureau, he did quite well there.
Lan Ling's father-in-law celebrated his birthday today, so he wanted to take the opportunity to make connections. He even invited top officials from the county to have a Chinese-style dinner. Generally speaking, there was less food and more social contact.
However, Lan Ling's father-in-law has been working hard in Yuancheng for most of his life and has a good network of friends in various departments.
"Hey, my cousin is here, I thought you would have stage fright and not come." Lan Ling pulled her husband and said, "This is my cousin and his boyfriend. This is my husband, and he works at the Water Conservancy Bureau now.
"
After getting to know each other, Lan Ling left Ye Haoxuan and Lan Linlin aside and continued to greet other guests.
Ye Haoxuan and Lan Linlin didn't know many people here, so they randomly found a seat and sat down. Lan Linlin said with some ambiguity: "Look at my cousin, she has always been a comparison person since she was a child.
It's still the same now, it hasn't changed at all, she's just a grassroots civil servant, look how proud she is."
"Why are you so ignorant to such an ignorant person? Haha, what would his expression be like if he knew your husband was a princeling in the capital?" Ye Haoxuan said with a smile.
"Who is your wife?" Lan Linlin spat.
"Actually, I have met a lot of people like this. Her husband said that at best he is an official, at worst he is an errand boy. Your beauty department is much more valuable than a retired director." Ye Haoxuan smiled.
road.
"I just can't stand how she behaves like that. She compares herself to me in everything from a young age." Lan Linlin said angrily.
"Wait a minute, maybe you will be stunned in a while." Ye Haoxuan smiled slightly.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, the people who were supposed to come finally arrived, and the banquet finally started. Ye Haoxuan and Lan Linlin were arranged in an inconspicuous corner. There were not many people at the table, only three or two, and they were all
Insignificant people.
Fortunately, the people at this table were all easy-going and acquainted with each other. After a while, we became familiar with each other, and a young man asked vaguely about his relationship with this family.
"Here, that's my cousin." Lan Linlin pointed to Lan Ling, who was drinking and chatting with a group of important people to one side.
The people at the table looked at each other. They just met Lan Ling's husband and came to have a relationship, so it was normal to sit in the corner. But Lan Linlin and Lan Ling are cousins, and they were arranged here. This is too much.
Don't be ridiculous. In this kind of seat, the host will automatically ignore it when making a toast.
"Haha, it doesn't matter where you sit. It's quiet here. Let's have fun tonight." A woman smiled.
"Yes, I don't like the dinner party. Let me choose between the chief and here. I would rather choose here." Ye Haoxuan smiled.
"I'm really speechless for you." Lan Linlin said helplessly.
"Don't be polite when eating vegetables." Someone greeted spontaneously.
Ye Haoxuan picked up his chopsticks and chatted and ate with people he didn't know well.
At this moment, a surprising voice came over: "Haoxuan, is it you?"
Ye Haoxuan looked back and saw Yu Zhe standing behind him. He hadn't contacted Yu Zhe for a while, but judging from his appearance, he must have been doing well during this time.
"Haha, I finally met an acquaintance." Ye Haoxuan stood up and shook Yu Zhe's hand and said, "Section Chief Yu, I'm here for a meal today. Let's have a good chat later."
"Come on, you know how to eat, come on, let me toast you. I want to thank you very much for what happened in the capital." Yu Zhe raised his cup and said gratefully.
