On Valentine's Day today, Su Qin sent four bouquets of flowers, three to his girlfriends, one to his mother-in-law, and three to his girlfriends. The one to his mother-in-law has already been reciprocated. Hua hasn't given back yet, and of course Su Qin doesn't want to give back either.
When Ning Qing received the flowers, she subconsciously thought they were from Su Qin, because she reminded Su Qin last night that today was Valentine's Day, and Su Qin had said that she would also give her a bouquet of flowers. This made Ning Qing You are a little very embarrassed.
Later, Su Qin explained that it was for Lin Wang, so Ning Qing didn't take it seriously, but she also declined Su Qin's flowers.
Ning Qing did not refuse the bouquet of flowers. What woman doesn't like others giving her flowers?
Although people often send her flowers, most of them are arranged by customers or the administrative department during holidays, especially roses, which she has not received for a long time.
In the past, Lin Wang would sometimes have some romantic rituals, and would send her flowers on several festivals, especially birthdays and wedding anniversaries. Later, Lin Wang no longer remembered these things, maybe he had already An old married couple.
Not to mention holidays, even her birthdays and wedding anniversaries will be forgotten. She will also forget to buy things for Lin Wang during these holidays. This is not to say that they are an old couple at this age, but mainly because they are too busy with work. Now, I'm on business trips a lot of the time, and the most I can remember is to make a phone call.
That's why Ningqing felt that the flowers were from Su Qin and not from Lin Wang when she received them today.
But when she saw the words Happy Valentine's Day from my wife written on the greeting card, Ning Qing was a little confused. Was it really from Lin Wang?
Lin Wang, who was watching the progress of the situation in Deyang at this time, had just returned to the hotel. They had already finished their work today. Han Xianjing helped him make an appointment with two senior officials of the municipal government in Deyang for dinner. On the way back from the meal, they met A bit unexpected.
When they were about to reach the intersection of the hotel, two cars blocked their way, and six or seven men with sticks rushed down and smashed his car. Fortunately, Lin Wang had already had countermeasures, but In the blink of an eye, the Lin family's bodyguards and the Huashan faction surrounded these people and directly controlled them.
However, these people were very tough-talking. No matter how tortured they were, they never said who was behind the scenes. They just said that someone paid them to teach Lin Wang a lesson, and they didn't know who Lin Wang was.
How could Lin Wang believe such a reason? It was obviously the Duan family and Uncle Dong who were up to something. This little trick was really nothing to Lin Wang.
After finishing this matter, Lin Wang came back very late. He was about to go to Han Xianjing to discuss the matter, because Han Xianjing also lived in this hotel, and they were on the same floor, separated by only a few rooms. As he was going out, he received a call from Ning Qing.
Lin Wang thought Ning Qing knew what had just happened, so he answered the phone and asked, "Honey, you knew so soon?"
Ning Qing didn't know what Lin Wang was talking about. She asked with some confusion: "What are you talking about that you knew so quickly? I called you twice today, but why didn't anyone answer the phone?"
Ning Qing explained truthfully: "Old Han introduced me to two city government bosses from Deyang. They had a normal relationship with our Lin family before, but this time I chatted with them for a while and had dinner together in the evening, so I forgot about it. Get back to you."
Ning Qing didn't pursue anything, but asked: "Did you send that bouquet of flowers?"
"What flowers?" Lin Wang said subconsciously. Since he didn't send it to him, he naturally didn't take it to heart. However, he reacted in the next second and said, "Oh, oh, you mean flowers, yes, yes, they were sent by me. I like them." ?"
What kind of flowers had betrayed Lin Wang? Ning Qing's knowledge of Lin Wang knew that this bouquet of flowers was definitely not sent by Lin Wang. His memory was not that bad. It was obvious that these were sent by Su Qin for Lin Wang. Thinking of Su Qin's greeting card After writing the words Happy Valentine's Day to my wife, Ning Qing couldn't help but feel her face burning, as if she had been teased by Su Qin in person.
Ning Qing didn't respond, and Lin Wang was a little confused and said, "Honey, are you listening?"
Ning Qing finally came back to her senses and said, "I'm listening."
"Do you like the flowers I sent?" Lin Wang asked again.
Ning Qing smiled and said, "I like it very much. It's rare that you can remember Valentine's Day. Thank you."
"Why are you so polite to me? I only remembered it when I saw a lot of people sending flowers on the road today. I have been so busy these past few years that I can't even remember these festivals. But don't worry, I will try my best to remember them in the future. Try my best. I prepare roses and gifts for you every holiday." Lin Wang said proudly. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and almost spilled the beans. He must be grateful to his daughter and son-in-law.
Ning Qing said disapprovingly: "Don't be so deliberate, just remember it. It's okay if you can't remember it. We are already an old couple."
At this time, Ning Qing thought of Lin Wang's words after answering the phone and asked, "What did you just say that I knew about it so quickly?"
Lin Wang frowned slightly and said, "Actually, it's nothing..."
Then he told Ning Qing the cause and effect of the matter. The more Ning Qing listened, the more worried he became. The Duan family and Uncle Dong were so anxious that they would do it secretly. This was obviously what they had done. Apart from the fact that they also Could anyone.
"Are you okay?" Ning Qing asked after Lin Wang finished speaking.
Lin Wang shook his head and said, "It's nothing. We have already prepared, and this low-level trick can't do anything to us."
Ning Qing was a little scared and said, "That's good."
"Okay, it's getting late. You go to bed quickly. I'm going to discuss things with Lao Han. You should be careful over there and don't give them any chance." Lin Wang reminded him when he was about to hang up the phone.
Ning Qing nodded and said, "Yes, I understand."
After saying that, she hung up the phone. After what happened next, Ning Qing quickly forgot about Su Qin sending flowers in the name of Lin Wang, and put more attention and focus on the latter matter. The Duan family and Dong Uncle probably still doesn't know what happened to the Su family to help. They were at a loss, so they used these despicable methods to deal with the Lin family.
Fortunately, the Su family was well prepared, and the main figures in the Lin family were secretly protected, so Lin Wang was not injured at all.
Lin Wang soon arrived at Han Xianjing's suite. When he saw Han Xianjing, he said, "Old Han, it's good that you are prepared, otherwise something might happen to me tonight."
"They're just a bunch of clowns. The ones protecting you are the tomb-keepers of our Su family. Even if the Li family comes, they won't dare to be so arrogant." Han Xianjing said confidently. He was very respectful in front of Su Qin, but when he came out, Once he gets married, everyone will have to fawn over him.
Lin Wang didn't know how powerful the Su family's mausoleum guards were before, but he had seen it just now. A few people beat them all down and controlled them. As Han Xianjing said, they were not on the same level.
"The people in southern Shu have also received news that your eldest brother Lin Han was also attacked. This confirms that it was done by the Duan family and Uncle Dong. They should all be members of Uncle Dong. The Duan family does not have that many people in Shuzhou. People are available." Han Xianjing continued, this was also the news he had just received.
Lin Wang didn't know about this yet, so he quickly asked: "Is my eldest brother okay?"
Han Xianjing said with a smile: "If you are fine, he must be fine too."
Lin Wang cursed and said, "This Uncle Dong is really hateful. We will take care of him after we drive away the Duan family."
Mr. Han said with a profound smile: "Uncle Dong, don't worry. His good days have come to an end. We won't give him a chance to live until that time. In two days, he will start to have headaches, because next time Some of them are busy when they come down."
Lin Wang didn't know that Su Qin had convinced the Zhao family to take action, so he asked curiously: "What do you mean, you are planning to attack Uncle Dong at the same time?"
Han Xianjing explained calmly: "The Duan family and Uncle Dong are now allies. If we attack the Duan family, how can we not attack Uncle Dong? It's just that it's not us, but Uncle Dong's rival Zhao Taiqing of the Zhao family. The Duan family has Uncle Dong. We have Zhao Taiqing, so Uncle Dong is basically useless."
Lin Wang was a little surprised and said, "When did you convince Zhao Taiqing?"
Han Xianjing said casually: "I have been convinced before, but the Zhao family is secretly preparing. They will take action against Uncle Dong soon."
When Lin Wang heard this, he felt completely at ease.
The Su family is still strong, and any allies they can find can help them solve their troubles. Without Uncle Dong's help, the family will be even more difficult to survive in Shuzhou.
After waiting for two days, the Zhao family of Xishu finally got in touch with the Zhao family of Shangjing. The two parties had already discussed everything that needed to be discussed. The reason for recognizing their ancestors and returning to the clan was the reason stated by the Zhao family of Shangjing. The Shu Zhao family has full cooperation.
After waiting for another two days, the people sent by the Zhao family in Shangjing finally arrived. The two eldest old people sent by the Zhao family in Shangjing were both elders of the clan of Zhao Jitong's grandfather. At the same time, Zhao Jitong also asked The eldest son Zhao Jingwei came with him.
The two clan elders represent the entire Zhao family, while Zhao Jingwei represents the direct descendants of the Zhao family and the current clan leader Zhao Jitong. Otherwise, it would be somewhat unjustifiable for Zhao Jitong not to send someone when the elders of the clan come.
The first thing Zhao Jingwei did when he came to Xishu was to find Su Qin and actively invite Su Qin to go to the Zhao family in Xishu with him. This was also a way for the Zhao family to go to Beijing to express their relationship with the Su family and Su Qin, but Su Qin was kind-hearted. He refused, saying that such a high-profile occasion was not suitable for him, and that he would invite him to dinner after Zhao Jingwei was done with the business.
Therefore, Zhao Jingwei has been busy with the affairs of the Zhao family in Xishu these two days. The Zhao family in Xishu attaches great importance to the distinguished guests sent by the Zhao family in Beijing. The entire Zhao family in Xishu has taken action to recognize their ancestors and return them to the capital. Zong was involved in a big deal, and almost everyone who should know knew about it.
The Zhao family of Xishu couldn't keep a high profile on such a matter of honoring their ancestors. Anyone who encounters such a huge happy event would like everyone to know about it.
After this news broke out, everyone in Shuzhou was shocked. Unexpectedly, the Zhao family in Xishu suddenly ascended to heaven. In the past, the Zhao family in Xishu still had some energy in Shuzhou. Most of this was due to Zhao Taiqing's influence. But there are many people who look down upon them.
But after this incident broke out, almost everyone was shocked, because from then on, the Zhao family in Xishu was no longer an ordinary family. They became a branch of the Zhao family, one of the eight aristocratic families, and they were not the kind of people who said they were It is a side branch of the family, but it is a side line recognized by the direct line of the Zhao family in Shangjing.
In other words, from now on, the Xishu Zhao family will no longer be the Xishu Zhao family, but will belong to the Zhao family of the Shangjing Zhao family. This is such an awesome thing.
For example, the Duan family, which has recently been in trouble with the Lin family, just because Duan Qian married the daughter of the last patriarch of the Li family, the entire Duan family has prospered and become the top family in the southwest region.
Now that the Zhao family of Xishu has returned to the collateral line of the Zhao family, it cannot be underestimated how far the Zhao family of Xishu can go with the help of the Zhao family of Shangjing.
Therefore, those in Shuzhou who should visit to express their gratitude directly came to express their gratitude, and those who should make phone calls took the initiative to call. Those bosses or leaders who used to ignore the Zhao family in Xishu were now eager to establish a good relationship with the Zhao family in Xishu.
Because this is the energy of the eight aristocratic families, no one dares to ignore it.
Zhao Jingwei finally finished his work in two days. Fortunately, he didn't need to deal with the brains of Shuzhou, because they didn't have the qualifications. People like the Zhao family of Xishu could just come forward, but there were a lot of troubles in the recognition ceremony. As the main person in charge, Zhao Jingwei naturally cannot worry.
After finishing his work, Zhao Jingwei came to Su Qin. Su Qin agreed that Zhao Jingwei would treat him to dinner when he finished his work. He and Zhao Jingwei were already old acquaintances, although they were not as familiar as Shasha, but there was no need to pay attention to face. pompous.
So the place where Su Qin invited Zhao Jingwei to eat was the fly hot pot restaurant that Lin Xi took him to. Not to mention that the taste of this restaurant is delicious. Su Qin has eaten hot pot so many times in Xishu, and the taste of this restaurant is definitely delicious. got first place.
Su Qin came over first to take a seat. The boss was a little surprised when he saw it was Su Qin, because Su Qin came alone this time and did not bring Lin Xi with him. If his memory was not good, he would not have recognized Su Qin.
So he greeted Su Qin politely and asked why Su Qin came alone and why Lin Xi didn't come.
Su Qin explained that he was busy with some things in Xishu recently, and Lin Xi was still studying in Chang'an, so he probably had to wait until he came back from summer vacation to eat hot pot.
The boss didn't chat much, because it was the time when customers were being served, and he just asked Su
Qin and others started to ask Su Qin to order, while he went to do other things.
It didn't take long for Zhao Jingwei to arrive. He was a little surprised when he saw this place, thinking that he had gone to the wrong place.
It is true that he rarely comes to such a small restaurant to eat, and it looks a bit dirty. However, this is not the first time he has come to Xishu. He has been here many times before on business trips, and has heard many friends talk about the delicious food in Xishu. They are all in these small streets and alleys.
Since Su Qin, the eldest young master of the Su family, can come, he, the eldest young master of the Zhao family, cannot come. Besides, it's not that he has never come, but only rarely.
After Zhao Jingwei came in, he immediately smelled the strong fragrance, and the next second the greedy bug in his stomach began to scream.
After Su Qin saw Zhao Jingwei, he immediately waved to Zhao Jingwei and said, "Brother Jingwei, this way."
When Zhao Jingwei saw Su Qin, he came over with a smile. The two greeted him politely and sat down. Su Qin chuckled and said, "Brother Jingwei, you should rarely come to this kind of fly shop. Don't look at the bad environment." , this taste is unique, I was brought here by someone else, and I have to taste it every time I come to Xishu recently, you will know after you eat it."
Zhao Jingwei said casually: "I'm not that picky about what I eat. I heard from Shasha that you like delicious food. If a small shop is recognized by you, no matter how bad the environment is, the taste will definitely be fine."
Su Qin laughed loudly and said: "Don't worry about this, I guarantee it will be delicious. I have already ordered the dishes. They are all the signature dishes here. You may not be able to eat spicy food. I ordered the Mandarin Duck Slightly Spicy Hotpot."
Zhao Jingwei said half-jokingly: "If you don't know, I would think you are a local. Yuanyang Hotpot is the greatest respect for outsiders."
The two of them laughed in unison, and Su Qin then asked: "Brother Jingwei, can we have a drink? Let's have some beer."
Zhao Jingwei said nonchalantly: "I can drink with you, white or red beers, you can arrange whatever you want." xь.
"Then let's have beer. Let's talk about it later when we change places." Su Qin said softly, and then called the waiter to get six bottles of beer.
It didn't take long for the dishes to be served. After all, Su Qin was an acquaintance of the boss and had this priority.
After Zhao Jingwei mixed the bowl and tasted it, he couldn't help but said: "It's good, it's really delicious. It's much better than I thought."
"Then let's eat, drink and chat." Su Qin said with a smile.
After ordering some dishes, Su Qin picked up the wine glass and said, "Brother Jingwei, thank you this time, and thank you even more to Uncle Zhao for helping me so much. I also owe you a special trip to Xishu for your trouble." What a huge favor.”
Zhao Jingwei said disapprovingly: "Su Qin, it's useless for you to thank me. You'd better thank Shasha. Without Shasha bragging in front of my dad, even if you beat me to death, I wouldn't have the ability to deal with my dad."
Su Qin smiled bitterly and said, "Sha Sha, of course, wants to thank you. I will go to the United States later to thank you in person, but you and Uncle Zhao also have to thank you. I also know that you are interested in helping me."
Zhao Jingwei shrugged and said, "Su Qin, we are not helping you. In Shasha's words, helping you is helping ourselves. Shasha has announced to the public that you are the future son-in-law of our Zhao family. It's up to you to decide what to do with this matter." Bar."
Su Qin was so surprised by these words that he spilled a lot of the wine glass he was holding. He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Brother Jingwei, you can just say that others are making fun of me, but you are still making fun of me."
Who knew that Zhao Jingwei said seriously: "Su Qin, I am not joking this time. I am serious about this matter. You should know very well what your current situation is like. If you are with Shasha, Then we, the Zhao family, will stand by your side without hesitation. If something unexpected happens, we don’t know how others will help you, but our Zhao family will definitely go all out, so you think about it carefully."
Su Qin knew very well what Zhao Jingwei meant by this, but he was not willing to talk about it now, so he changed the subject directly and said, "Brother Jingwei, let's not talk about this today. Let's drink and drink."
Zhao Jingwei had said everything he needed to say. He could not force Su Qin to express his position, otherwise the sister would not kill him when he turned around, so he had to sigh and clink glasses with Su Qin to drink...
