Chapter 2624 Tang Family Banquet (1)
Northern suburb of Yanjing City.
In the villa where Mr. Tang lives.
Usually this villa is very cold and few people come.
But today it was very lively.
In addition to Tang Zhe, Ye Xiu and Tang Guoan also came over.
Ye Xiu and Tang Guoan were both invited by Mr. Tang.
After the two came over, Mrs. Tang specially arranged a banquet to entertain them.
Facing Old Mrs. Tang, Ye Xiu had nothing to do with him. After all, he and Mr. Tang saw each other quite often. Although he had been busy recently, he had never failed to check on Old Mrs. Tang's body every once in a while.
Tang Guoan was a little cautious when facing Mr. Tang.
This was the first time he came to the place where Mr. Tang lived, and the first time he saw Mr. Tang.
As a high-ranking official, he could remain calm and composed even when facing national-level leaders, but in front of Mr. Tang, he was unable to remain calm and composed.
The more he reached a certain level, the more he knew how powerful Mr. Tang was! In my heart, I became more and more in awe of Mr. Tang.
In fact, except for people like Ye Xiu, most people who faced Mr. Tang were like Tang Guoan.
To put it bluntly, Tang Guoan's behavior is normal, but Ye Xiu's behavior is actually abnormal.
After the banquet was set, although Mrs. Tang said it was casual, no one except Ye Xiu dared to be really casual. Tang Guoan sat down at the bottom very reservedly.
"I'm calling everyone here today. It's not a special day or anything special. I just want to have some fun. So everyone, please feel free to come and eat and drink. Don't be too reserved."
Mr. Tang said again.
"The old man said this, so I won't be polite. This fish looks good at first glance, so I will take action first."
Sensing what Mrs. Tang meant, Ye Xiu smiled slightly, then took out his chopsticks and started to attack a Songhua fish.
Tang Zhe and Tang Guoan both glanced at Ye Xiu with some envy.
Even Tang Zhe, his own grandson, couldn't be as calm as Ye Xiu in front of the old man.
They couldn't learn Ye Xiu's coolness.
"Haha, Ye Xiu, you understand what I mean. Come on, let us have a drink."
Mrs. Tang laughed and raised his glass to Ye Xiu.
"Hey, no, old man, I'm here to respect you!"
Ye Xiu picked up the wine glass and clinked it with the old man.
, and then drank it all in one gulp. After finishing the drink, he said to Mr. Tang, "Old man, I am here today, so you can go ahead and drink to your heart's content!"
"Haha, with your words, I feel relieved. Come on, I must have a drink today!"
Mrs. Tang laughed again.
Seeing Ye Xiu and Mrs. Tang getting along like a family, Tang Guoan's eyes showed a look of envy. In addition to envy, he was also extremely shocked in his heart.
He has always known that Ye Xiu has a good relationship with the Tang family. Otherwise, the Tang family would not have gone to the southwest to help Ye Xiu. At that time, the Tang family would not be able to bear the responsibility of going to the southwest to help Ye Xiu. Small risk.
But he still didn't expect that the relationship between Ye Xiu and the Tang family would be so good!
Judging from the way Old Mrs. Tang and Ye Xiu interact with each other, they are almost as if they are biological grandparents!
And he could feel that Mr. Tang didn't deliberately get close to him. The way he looked at Ye Xiu, he really regarded Ye Xiu as his grandson!
"Xiao Tang, eat some vegetables, don't be polite."
Mrs. Tang noticed Tang Guoan's restraint, and after smiling slightly, he said to Tang Guoan again.
"That's right, Uncle Tang. When you come to Grandpa's place, treat it as your own home. Don't be polite. Grandpa can't bear to be too polite. He's too reserved."
Tang Zhe also smiled and said.
"Okay, thank you. Don't worry, Mr. Tang and Mr. Zhe. I won't be polite or reserved."
Tang Guoan said quickly, although his words were not reserved and polite, his expression was still obviously reserved.
"Come, let's have a drink, for our fate of being able to be together!"
Mr. Tang also saw that Tang Guoan's restraint would be gone for a while. He didn't say anything more and directly raised his glass.
Everyone quickly raised their glasses and drank together.
"This second cup, congratulations to Ye Xiu for being promoted to director and expert!!"
After finishing a drink, Mr. Tang raised his glass again.
"Hey, old man, you are burying me. What kind of expert am I? I am not worth mentioning at all. I am not worth drinking this glass of wine."
Ye Xiu didn't expect that Mrs. Tang's second glass of wine was aimed at him, and he couldn't help feeling helpless.
"Haha... I knew you kid would say that, but it's wrong for you to say that today. By saying this, aren't you trying to erase Secretary Tang's contribution? It took a lot of effort for you to get a professional title, but you It’s not worth mentioning, it’s a bit too much!”
Mrs. Tang laughed.
"ah
...This is my fault, Secretary Tang, I will punish myself with three cups! "
Ye Xiu didn't expect that his instinctive modest words would be caught by Old Man Tang. A look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on his face, and he quickly apologized to Tang Guoan next to him.
"Haha, it is indeed something not worth mentioning. Dr. Ye, you are right."
Tang Guoan couldn't help but laugh.
But while he was laughing, he was shocked again.
Mrs. Tang held this second glass of wine directly for Ye Xiu, which once again showed the importance of Ye Xiu in Mr. Tang's heart.
Although Tang Guoan didn't mean to mind, Ye Xiu still kept his word. After drinking the glass of wine from Mr. Tang, he poured three more glasses in succession.
Both Mr. Tang and Tang Zhe knew Ye Xiu's drinking capacity and had no intention of dissuading him at all. Tang Guoan originally wanted to dissuade him, but seeing that Mr. Tang and the others did not dissuade him, they gave up their thoughts and looked at Ye Xiu. Xiulian drank four glasses of wine.
"Secretary Tang, you don't have to worry about Ye Xiu. This guy is a wine master. He is truly a man who can drink a thousand cups without sin!"
Mrs. Tang saw that Tang Guoan was a little worried and couldn't help laughing. As he spoke, he raised his glass again, "With this third glass, we want to celebrate Secretary Tang!"
"Oh, old man, does Secretary Tang have any good news?"
Ye Xiu asked curiously.
He has been busy during this period, and he really doesn't know what good news Tang Guoan has.
"Haha, Ye Xiu, you don't care too much about Secretary Tang. Secretary Tang's next arrangements have been made. In three months, he will go to S City, a major southern town, to take charge of the government!"
Before Old Man Tang could speak, Tang Zhe answered Ye Xiu's question for him.
"S city?"
Ye Xiu couldn't help but feel slightly shocked.
He had heard Tang Zhe say before that he wanted Tang Guoan to go to the south to take charge of the political party, but he never expected that Tang Guoan would be able to go to S City!
You know, S City is the most important place in the south. It is a national municipality and the country's financial center...
More importantly, S City has always been an important place for national leadership. The current top leader of the country, as well as several previous leaders, have all been in power in S City!
There are even some rumors on the Internet that City S is the cradle of national leaders. Being elected to govern City S is equivalent to sending a signal that this person will serve as an important leader of the country in the future!
Although this is a rumor and there is no actual evidence, it also shows how important the position of S City is. It is definitely not easy to govern S City. The competition is definitely extremely fierce, even cruel!
