Judging from the fact that he brought four tall and powerful guards with him, this man was truly a high-ranking and powerful person.
After Xu Lang saw it clearly, his expression suddenly changed, and his little heart was beating wildly uncontrollably.
It was beyond his expectation. When Qiu Mingyue said that his grandfather liked collecting, Xu Lang thought he was just a famous expert in antiques, and at most he was a big boss of the Palace Museum.
But now, he was shocked to realize how naive he was.
Qiu Shanhe, the boss of the military, a god-like existence!
His name is familiar to many people. Before his retirement, he often appeared in the news on military channels.
As a government civil servant, Xu Lang often watches the news, so when he saw Qiu Shanhe, he was deeply shocked.
Yuan Xiangyu didn't care much about the military, but he was not unfamiliar with Qiu Shanhe, but he just didn't think of it for a while.
"Xu Lang, is the mayor's grandfather from the museum?"
Xu Lang smiled and asked, "Have you ever heard of the name Qiushan River?"
"Qiu Shanhe?" Yuan Xiangyu ran through these three words in his mind. Just as he was about to shake his head, he suddenly covered his mouth and exclaimed: "Oh my god, is it him?"
Xu Lang looked at Qiu Mingyue and her grandfather hugging each other, and said, "You remembered it so soon?"
Yuan Xiangyu said: "Well, I really didn't expect the mayor to be the granddaughter of General Qiu. That's awesome."
Xu Lang said: "Let's go over and see him."
Qiu Mingyue waited for the two of them to arrive and introduced them one by one to her grandfather.
Qiu Shanhe immediately grabbed Xu Lang's hand in surprise and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the hospital you sent Mingyue to. Thank you, haha."
Xu Lang smiled and said: "You're welcome, chief, this is what I should do."
"Haha, the young man is good." Qiu Shanhe then asked: "Ming Yue said you helped find Qi Baishi's orchid picture?"
Xu Lang immediately pointed at Yuan Xiangyu and said, "Yes, Director Yuan's grandfather is collecting it."
Qiu Shanhe did not shake hands with Yuan Xiangyu, which was a sign of respect for women: "Hello, Director Yuan."
Yuan Xiangyu blushed excitedly and said, "Hello, Chief."
Qiu Shanhe said: "I want to see the orchid picture right now. Can you take me to visit your grandpa?"
Yuan Xiangyu smiled and said: "That's okay, sir. My grandpa is already waiting for you at home."
Qiu Shanhe was overjoyed: "Okay, let's go."
The group of people arrived at Wen's house and were greeted at the door by Wen Yifeng, his daughter and son-in-law.
There is no need to elaborate on the politeness. After sitting down and drinking tea, Qiu Shanhe couldn't wait to see the paintings.
Just now, Wen Yifeng received a call from his granddaughter Yuan Xiangyu, saying that the mayor's grandfather turned out to be the queen of Qiu Shanhe, and he was immediately frightened.
Now, how could he dare to say that he was unwilling to sell it? All he could think about now was whether he should choose another treasure and give it to Qiu Shanhe along with the orchid flower picture.
Everyone saw Qiu Shanhe concentrating on admiring the orchid flower painting, and they didn't dare to go in and disturb him. They waited together in the living room and chatted quietly.
More than half an hour later, hearty laughter came from the study. Qiu Shanhe and Wen Yifeng walked out, followed by a guard holding a box.
Everyone stood up immediately, and Qiu Mingyue asked: "Grandpa, how are you doing?"
Qiu Shanhe was very happy and said with a smile: "It is indeed Qi Baishi's orchid picture. Mr. Wen has reluctantly given it up. We thank Mr. Wen very much, haha."
Wen Yifeng said hurriedly: "Commander, you gave Yongzheng's enamel peony bowl as a gift. I took a big advantage."
Qiu Shanhe laughed: "Haha, as the saying goes, a gentleman will not take away others' beauty. Since I want to collect orchid pictures, I can't rob them savagely, hahaha."
Wen Yifeng also laughed, and it could be seen that he was indeed very happy.
None of the enamels produced during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty was ordinary. They were all used by the royal family, and all of them were priceless.
Qiu Shanhe exchanged such a treasure for Qi Baishi's Lan Hua Tu, which was definitely a loss in terms of value.
But he likes Qi Baishi's paintings the most. The Four Gentlemen of Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum only lacks the orchid painting. For him, the significance of being able to fill the gap cannot be measured by value.
Then, Qiu Shanhe called Qiu Mingyue to the side of the yard and chatted quietly for a while, probably about Qiu Mingyue's work.
After the chat, Qiu Shanhe left. He didn't let anyone send him off again. He came and left in a cool way.
Back at the city hall, Qiu Mingyue specially called Yuan Xiangyu to the office to chat for a while, and by the way, she had a comprehensive understanding of the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau.
Because Director Sun Bo was lying in the hospital, no one had yet reported to the mayor on his behalf, so it was natural for Yuan Xiangyu to report.
This was done deliberately by Qiu Mingyue. The purpose was to release the news and give everyone an expectation.
Yuan Xiangyu naturally knew it well and was grateful for Qiu Mingyue's arrangements.
At 8:30 in the evening, Xu Lang and Yuan Xiangyu walked out of the hospital entrance to the parking lot and got in the car. Yuan Xiangyu was not in a hurry to drive, taking advantage of the night and quietness, and took the initiative to throw herself into Xu Lang's arms.
Xu Lang put his hand into Yuan Xiangyu's clothes and said with a smile: "This time Director Sun has made it clear that he recommends you to the mayor to take over his position. This matter has been confirmed and there will be no more changes."
Yuan Xiangyu was so touched that she went limp: "Dear, I'm lucky to have you, thank you."
Xu Lang said: "Don't be so polite, who among us is following whom, right?"
Yuan Xiangyu said: "Okay, I won't say anything anymore. Can you accompany me tonight?"
Xu Lang asked: "What, you want to spend the night with me?"
"I miss you so much." Yuan Xiangyu bit the back of Xu Lang's hand: "I want to be with you every moment, I can't think of it any better."
Xu Lang thought for a while and said: "Now is the critical moment for promotion. You can't make the slightest mistake, let alone let Feng Xiangyang find out something is wrong with you. Therefore, you can't stay out overnight no matter how hard it is."
Yuan Xiangyu looked at Xu Lang dreamingly, tears suddenly welling up, which shocked Xu Lang: "Hey, what are you doing? Why are you crying?"
Yuan Xiangyu didn't say anything. She hugged Xu Lang and kissed him crazily. She wanted to convey the love in her heart to her lover through her mouth.
After a long and passionate kiss, Yuan Xiangyu almost suffocated.
When the two mouths separated, Yuan Xiangyu cried and said: "Xu Lang, even if I can't marry you, I will be your woman for the rest of my life. Even if a thousand people accuse me, I don't care. I will definitely divorce Feng Xiangyang."
"Fool." Xu Lang felt extremely distressed. He didn't need to say anything more, he just hugged her tightly.
As soon as he went to work the next day, Xu Lang went to Feng Xiangyang's office and told him that he really didn't have time tonight and was really sorry.
Feng Xiangyang felt very unhappy, but he also knew that Xu Lang was now Qiu Mingyue's celebrity, so he didn't dare to say harsh words, so he could only smile and say it didn't matter, and he would invite him again when he had the opportunity in the future.
Today is Yuan Xiangyu's birthday, and Xu Lang certainly doesn't want to wish her a happy birthday in front of Feng Xiangyang.
When he was about to get off work in the afternoon, Xu Lang sent a message to Yuan Xiangyu: Are you free tonight?
