Chapter 21: Offending the Tai Sui Year

  "What? You've met Xiao Zhi before?" Hearing He Ying's words, not only was Wang Zhi puzzled, but also Ah Ze was full of surprise and curiously asked.

  "This isn't it, but I just came from Uncle Huang's place and heard about him. I didn't expect to see him here." He Yinyin explained.

  It's quite a coincidence, He Ying's father and Huang Jianming were former comrades-in-arms and had a good relationship. Later, Huang Jianming transferred to local work and climbed to the position of Municipal Public Security Bureau Director over the years. He Ying's father also promoted to Major General, it can be said that both of their prospects are not bad, and they often keep in touch. This time He Ying came to Jianghuai, she should also go to Huang Jianming's place for a visit.

  It just so happens that He Ying's father's university classmate Jiang Huan Yang is also serving as the vice mayor of Jianghuai. Yesterday, Jiang Huan Yang's son offended Lin Qi Wei and Wang Zhi, and was about to be sentenced. Jiang Huan Yang was at a loss, and thought of his old classmate He Guang Rong, who is He Ying's father, and Huang Jian Ming, with whom he has a close relationship. So he made a phone call, hoping that his old classmate could help mediate the situation.

  So He Ying's visit this time was on the one hand to pay respects to his father's comrades, and on the other hand also to try to find out if he could help Jiang Huanyang in any way.

  For He Ying, Huang Jianming was very enthusiastic. His old comrade-in-arms had only one son and one daughter, and this daughter was especially precious. Huang Jianming often heard his old comrade-in-arms mention her.

  The two of them chatted at Huang Jianming's house for an entire afternoon, during which He Ying also tactfully inquired about Jiang Huan Yang's son. As a government official for many years, how could Huang Jianming not understand He Ying's intention? He simply told He Ying the story and finally said that, considering their old friendship, he could appropriately reduce Jiang Fuhai's sentence by a bit.

  This is also the reason why He Ying was late, and it's also the reason why Huang Jianming just called Wang Zhi. Originally, Jiang Fuhai was going to be sentenced to three years in prison, but because of He Ying, Huang Jianming reduced it to one year.

  He Yining didn't have much hope to begin with, after all her father had already made arrangements when he came. Although Jiang Huanyang was her classmate, she had agreed out of politeness and wasn't too worried about it; if things got difficult, she could just forget about it. So He Yining was actually quite satisfied with the final result.

  After leaving Huang Jianming's house, He Ying hurried over. This was the first time Ah Ze met his friend, and it would be bad if he went too late. Rushing slowly, they finally arrived before the dishes were served.

  Just now, when A Ze introduced a few friends, he introduced Wang Zhi, and He Ying didn't pay much attention to it. After all, there are too many people with the same name and surname in this world. Besides, looking at Wang Zhi's dress, he doesn't seem like someone with a background.

  However, after hearing Wang Zhi's phone call and then listening to the conversation between Bai Peng and Wang Zhi, it became clear that this Wang Zhi was indeed the one Huang Jianming had mentioned. For a moment, it was hard to believe, and only then did he ask out loud.

  "Oh! So the elder you were referring to is Director Huang." Azhe said with a sudden realization, earlier He Ying had only told him to go see an elder, but didn't say who it was.

  "It's true, Uncle Huang and my dad have been old comrades-in-arms for many years. It's not easy to come to Jianghuai, and it wouldn't be right if I didn't go see him." He Ying said with a smile, but because of the matter regarding Jiang Huan Yang, she didn't bring A Ze along.

  Several friends on the side listened to He Ying and A Ze's words, and then recalled Wang Zhi's phone call earlier. They all sighed a little. Nowadays, everyone has grown up and is no longer the carefree students of the past. There are many more things in their hearts. Seeing He Ying next to A Ze, not only does she have a lieutenant general as her father, but also has a good relationship with the director of the Public Security Bureau. This kind of luck is hard to come by.

  On the other hand, Wang Zhi is even more puzzling to everyone. In the past, Wang Zhi was not noticeable, but now after just a few years, he has gained the qualifications to be treated with courtesy by the mayor. It seems that among these people, only these two brothers have made a name for themselves and will need to make more public appearances in the future.

  And without mentioning the thoughts in the minds of several people on the side, the waiter had already started serving dishes at this time. Everyone was coming to such a luxurious place for the first time, and when they saw the dishes arrive, they were not polite, calling out to each other and starting to move their chopsticks. At the banquet, the others kept toasting Wang Zhi and A Ze to show their closeness. Although everyone had a good relationship before, it had been several years since they last met, and this gathering was meant to bring their relationship closer again.

  Wang Zhi's drinking capacity was naturally unmatched, and he drank like water. No matter who toasted him, he would directly down it in one gulp, leaving an empty cup behind. But A Ze couldn't handle it anymore. Although this kid had also developed a considerable drinking capacity in the army, he couldn't keep up with the enthusiasm of several people. After watching more than a catty of white wine go down his throat, he suddenly covered his mouth and ran to the bathroom, looking like he was done for.

  Aze was flushed, and several others were also more or less the same, although they didn't run out like Aze did, but their faces were also red and they stuttered when speaking.

  "Xiao Zhi, I didn't expect that you, who used to get drunk just by seeing wine, can now drink so much. It seems that the small tricks we played before were a bit too much for us." Ma Dongqi laughed and handed over another cup of wine.

  "Haha, no choice, these years the ones who drink with me are all heavy drinkers, not fierce also have to be fierce." Wang Zhi said with a laugh.

  Two people were chatting and laughing when Aze walked out of the bathroom with a loud laugh, looking at everyone with an embarrassed smile: "I made everyone laugh, haha."

  "Alright, let's all drink a bit less, two glasses is enough, too much wine is bad for the body." Seeing A Ze, he couldn't drink anymore, Wang Zhi also said with a smile.

  Everyone is not a drinker, naturally there is no opinion, eating dishes casually on one side and chatting casually on the other, the atmosphere is not bad.

  Just as everyone was enthusiastically chatting about the past few years, the private room door was suddenly pushed open from outside, and a young man who had drunk too much burst in abruptly, followed closely by two companions who were also quite intoxicated.

  The young man came in, squinting his eyes and scanning everyone casually. When he saw He Ying, his eyes lit up instantly, pointing at He Ying to the companions behind him: "How about it? I said I saw a top-notch product just now, you guys didn't believe me, look at this temperament, absolutely a top-notch product playing with uniforms."

  "Indeed, such a rare treasure is not easily seen. Han Shao indeed has good eyesight." The two men behind the young man were also full of wine breath, greedily staring at He Ying, while Wang Zhi and others were completely ignored in their eyes.

  "What are you doing, get out of here quickly!" Seeing the three young people pointing and laughing at Sai He Yinyin, Aze suddenly became angry, slammed his hand on the table, stood up and shouted loudly.

  "What kind of thing are you, daring to speak to me like that?" The young man known as Han Shao heard Aze's angry shout, but instead of being intimidated, he rolled his eyes and stared at Aze with disdain, speaking in a stuttering tone, clearly having had too much to drink.

  "Looking for death!" Seeing Han Shao's arrogant appearance, A Ze hadn't reacted yet, but He Ying suddenly let out a loud shout, stood up quickly, lightly jumped over Ma Dongqi beside her, walked to Han Shao's side, and kicked him flying with one swift kick.

  As the daughter of a lieutenant general, she grew up in the military camp since childhood. When had He Ying ever seen such a rascal? This time, she was clearly furious. After kicking out Han Shao, she also kicked out the remaining two people with both feet.

  Everyone saw He Ying's fierce movements and couldn't help but praise her. An Ze expressed that he would be in trouble later. As for the three arrogant young men outside, they were not worried at this time. Although everyone who came to Wanjun was either rich or noble, now with He Ying, the daughter of a lieutenant general, and Wang Zhi, who made the mayor polite, who would still bother to worry?

  "Ah wu!" The three Korean men who were kicked out spat out a mouthful of dirty things, wailed loudly and got up, their faces iron-blue, shouting at the passageway not far away.

  With the shouts of the three, seven or eight bodyguards rushed out of a luxurious private room and stormed into the private room where Wang Zhi and others were.

  Seeing the scene in front of him, Wang Zhi shook his head helplessly. Was he having a bad luck these two days? How come he kept running into some self-righteous people one after another? Yesterday, he had just dealt with one, and today, three more came again.
