After Chen Ye and everyone left the ancestral home of the Qin family, Secretary Xu of Jiang'an County proposed that he would treat Chen Ye and others to dinner as a courtesy to the landlord.
Chen Ye did not refuse.
These guests are all here for him, and it is really not good for them to go back hungry.
With Chen Ye's consent, Secretary Xu was overjoyed and wished he could thank the eighteenth generation ancestors of the Qin family for giving him the opportunity to entertain the big guys from all over the world.
Those businessmen who had business dealings with the Qin family did not participate in the dinner.
They made an excuse, saying they had something to deal with, and left voluntarily.
Is it because they don't want to participate in the dinner?
They never dreamed of it.
But they also have self-awareness and know that they are not qualified to participate in such a dinner.
After drinking and eating, everyone left.
Qin Miaoyan returned to the Qin family's ancestral home to pick up her parents, but Chen Ye did not follow.
Chen Ye arranged for Zhu Yeqing to send his mother Fang Lan home, and then specially left Qiao Gu, Qiao Donglai and his grandson to chat.
"Dong Lai, I heard that you have been suspended?"
Chen Ye took a sip of tea and asked first.
Qiao Donglai smiled bitterly and said:
"Yes, Master. I had some problems at work, and I was temporarily removed from the position of district chief of Jiangshu District."
"Is it because of Qin Hongwei's matter?"
Chen Ye continued to ask.
Qiao Donglai's expression changed, he shook his head quickly and said:
"No...no, Master, it's a matter of my own work..."
"Dong Lai, there is no need to hide in front of me."
Chen Ye interrupted Qiao Donglai with a calm expression.
"Well……"
Qiao Donglai fell silent, his expression slightly panicked.
Qin Hongwei's drunk driving attack on the police happened to happen in Jiangshu District. It was Qiao Donglai who called the Jiangshu Police Station to help Qin Hongwei settle the matter.
His original intention was to help Chen Ye solve these minor troubles, but he did not expect that Chen Ye would send Qin Hongwei to the police and draw a clear line with the Qin family.
To put it mildly, Qiao Donglai was doing bad things with good intentions, but to put it harshly, he was flattering the enemy.
"Master, Dong Lai didn't think carefully. He should have called you in advance to ask for instructions."
Seeing Qiao Donglai's silence, Qiao Gu spoke up and apologized on Qiao Donglai's behalf.
Chen Ye sighed lightly and said:
"Old man Qiao, I'm not keeping you two here today to hold you accountable. I know you have good intentions, and I also know that Donglai was implicated because of me. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the higher-ups to deal with such a small problem. Remove him from office."
"Master..."
Qiao Gu, Qiao Donglai and his grandson suddenly looked at Chen Ye in shock and hesitated to speak.
Chen Ye waved his hand gently, interrupted the two of them, and continued:
"After I was released from the Heavenly Prison, many things I did, especially those in Yanjing, broke the rules of the game and angered the rich and powerful. I was regarded as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh. And if you follow me, you will naturally be implicated. "
"Master, Dong Lai is only temporarily suspended, it's okay."
Qiao Gu smiled bitterly, acquiescing to Chen Ye's words, and then added:
"However, I will personally deliver Qin Hongwei to the police today. Some people want to target you, so there is no excuse."
"I asked Qin Hongwei to accept legal sanctions, not because I was worried that someone would secretly use this matter against me, but what Qin Hongwei did violated my bottom line."
Chen Ye shook his head slightly, then sneered:
"Of course, since Sun Liancheng and the Sun family in the capital want to stand out, they must be prepared to be shot!"
"Well……"
Qiao Gu and Qiao Donglai were completely stunned.
because.
They all know that the Sun Liancheng mentioned by Chen Ye is the great history of Jiangnan's border feud not long after he took office!
Qiao Donglai's position was removed by Sun Liancheng's personal order!
The Sun family is one of the big families in the capital and even in the Xia Kingdom!
"Donglai, get ready and come with me to Yanjing in two days."
Immediately, before Qiao Gu and Qiao Donglai could recover, Chen Ye spoke again.
"Okay, Master!"
Qiao Donglai immediately accepted the order, his face full of excitement and emotion.
because.
He heard the implication of Chen Ye's message - let him go north to Beijing to take up a post!
at the same time.
Villa No. 1 in the courtyard of Jiangnan Province.
Sun Liancheng, the great historian of Jiangnan's feudal territory, was chatting with his son Sun Hao in the study.
"Dad, I heard that Chen Ye exterminated his family and handed his fiancée's cousin into the hands of the police himself. Is this true?"
Sun Hao asked.
"it is true."
Sun Liancheng nodded slightly, then frowned and said:
"I didn't expect that boy from the Chen family to notice something was wrong so quickly and take countermeasures."
"Dad, are you worried that Chen Ye will take revenge on you and the Sun family?"
Sun Hao's heart moved and he asked again.
"Haha, do you know why you asked me to come to Jiangnan?"
Sun Liancheng asked a question, and then gave the answer without waiting for Sun Hao to answer,
"I have walked all this way with a breeze on my sleeves. There is no stain on my sleeves. The boy from the Chen family can't touch me."
"That's right, you are not afraid of your shadow being distorted if you are upright. Chen Ye can't do anything to you, and he can't do anything to our Sun family."
"Sigh... I'm just a little regretful. Originally, I wanted to take the opportunity of the Spring Festival gathering to have a good talk in front of a group of old men, so that everyone would have a greater opinion of the Chen family boy, but now he has done this, I can’t say anything.”
Sun Liancheng sighed lightly.
"Dad, I remember what you said. A country can change its nature but a dog can't change its nature. Chen Ye is so bold that he dares to touch the prince. Sooner or later, he will cause trouble. Let's just wait!"
Sun Hao sneered, and then said in confusion:
"It's just that the higher-ups don't deal with him every time, which makes me and many people confused. Even if the Chen family and the Xia Shou Organization support him, it won't be like this?"
"Mainly because of his merit. But since ancient times, merit is merit, fault is fault, and there has never been a saying that the merits and demerits balance each other. Now, everyone is waiting for the patience from above to run out. At that time, no one can protect him."
Sun Liancheng revealed the secret with one word.
"That's it..."
Sun Hao suddenly realized.
Sun Liancheng changed the topic and said:
"By the way, for this year's party, the elders said that they should bring their juniors with them. Cancel all your Spring Festival arrangements and go to the party with your grandpa and me."
"Okay, Dad."
Sun Hao was a little excited when he heard this. He had always wanted to show his face in front of those powerful old people.
Now, finally the opportunity comes!
After the words fell, Sun Hao thought of something again and asked:
"By the way, Dad, will the Chen family go?"
"He should probably go."
"Will the old man of the Chen family take Chen Ye there?"
"have no idea."
Sun Liancheng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head gently and said thoughtfully:
"However, if Chen Xiurui really does this, Yanjing City will be bustling during the Spring Festival!"
"That's right, if Chen Ye goes to a party, he will definitely look like a rat crossing the street, with everyone shouting to beat him up!"
Sun Hao smiled jokingly, looking forward to Chen Ye attending this gathering of wealthy families.
Chen Ye didn't know that he had become a source of conversation and a joke for Sun Liancheng and Sun Hao.
After he returned home, he called Chen Xiurui according to what Fang Lan said yesterday:
"Grandpa, my mother and I have agreed to take Miaoyan back to Yanjing to celebrate the New Year with you."
"Okay, okay, okay, Xiaoye, when will you come back, I'll have someone pick you up!"
When Chen Xiurui heard this, he was so excited that he said three good words in a row.
Chen Ye quickly refused:
"Grandpa, we will go back the day after tomorrow. You don't need to send someone to pick us up. We can just get off the high-speed rail and go back by ourselves."
"My grandson-in-law comes home for the New Year for the first time, how can I not pick her up? Xiaoye, listen to me on this matter!"
Chen Xiurui made the decision directly, then thought of something and said:
"Besides, you guys should stay a few more days this time. There happens to be a party during the Spring Festival, and I'll take you to it."
"Okay, Grandpa."
Chen Ye followed Chen Xiurui's arrangements, but he didn't know that the party Chen Xiurui mentioned was of ridiculously high standards!
