Chapter 1040
When it was close to six o'clock with more than ten minutes left, Du Cheng's plane had already landed outside the airport.
To Du Cheng's surprise, Weitu arrived a few minutes earlier than him. Before the plane landed, Li Enhui and Gu Sixin were driving to the airport to pick up Weitu and Lisi.
Of course, there is another person who also came, that is Yuezheng.
Yuezheng arrived a little earlier, she finished handling some things in the company, and drove to Yiningju at about 5:30.
That is to say, basically all the people who are going to come tonight have already arrived, and Du Cheng and the Prime Minister are the last to arrive.
After getting off the plane, Du Cheng and Ye Hu drove everyone towards the main building in two electric vehicles.
The Prime Minister, Mr. Ye and the others began to comment on the layout of the Yining Residence.
They obviously gave a very high evaluation of the layout of Yiningju, especially the water loft in the distance, under the illumination of night lights, it has a unique feeling like a fairyland on earth.
"Du Cheng, you should have a lot of rooms in this house. I think after a few years, I'll come to your place to enjoy the happiness."
Mr. Ye said half-jokingly: "I have never lived in such a nice house in my whole life..."
"Old man, if you are willing to come and live here, it's not a problem for me to spare ten rooms for you, as long as you are sure..." Du replied a little speechlessly. In private, old man Ye was with the Prime Minister. Sometimes, the biggest interest is to make fun of him, which makes Du Cheng very depressed a lot of the time.
"I'm not joking. Prepare your room when you are free. I will come over from next year when I have time." Mr. Ye didn't really joke, he really meant it.
In fact, he loves Ye Mei very much, and in his eyes, he has long regarded Du Cheng as half of his grandson, so in his opinion, he came to Du Cheng because he came from his grandson's family, and it was not much. what to think.
"No problem, I will always prepare the room for you..."
Du Cheng agreed very straightforwardly, anyway, Yiningju is big enough, if Mr. Ye is willing to come and live here, he will naturally welcome it very much.
Not only does Old Man Ye treat him like a half-grandson, but in fact, in his mind, he already treats Old Man Ye as a grandfather.
In other words, Mr. Ye is an old man who can make Du Cheng feel respected from the bottom of his heart, and all along, if Mr. Ye hadn't stood firmly behind him, he would definitely not be able to have all these things so smoothly now .
"Old Ye, you must be very bored living here by yourself. Do you mind having another chess player?"
The prime minister said something suddenly, and the surprise was obviously very obvious.
"What do you say?"
Elder Ye asked back, and then burst out laughing.
"Okay, Prime Minister, I will also prepare one for you. When you are free, you can come and play for a few days."
Of course, Du Cheng didn't think that the Prime Minister would live here for a long time, but in terms of the current relationship between the Prime Minister and him, it would definitely be no problem to come and play for a while.
And everything was decided like that.
▂▂▂▂▂▂▂
While talking, the two electric cars also came out of the gate of the main building one after the other.
When Du Cheng came back, he didn't make a special call to inform Gu Sixin and the others to meet the prime minister, because it would fall into a cliché, and the prime minister probably wouldn't like it.
After all, wherever the prime minister usually goes, he is usually greeted in that way, but if he came to Yiningju in a private capacity today, it would obviously be extraordinarily special if he continued to behave like that.
So, after getting off the car, Du Cheng walked into the hall with the Prime Minister and the others.
At this time, the lobby of the main building can be said to be very lively. Du Cheng's lobby area is very large, but the layout is very simple. The sofa in the lobby was designed by Du Cheng himself. Several sets of sofas form a semi-circular shape. Under Du Cheng's seven wonderful designs, these sofas feel like a whole, rather than divided into many groups.
As for these sofas, it is not a problem even for thirty or forty people to sit on them. Moreover, because of the ingenious design of each group, these groups of sofas can also be used as several independent spaces.
Just like at this moment, Ai Qier hugged Xiao Anwei, sat and chatted with Weitu and Lisi, while Cheng Tanye, Li Jiaquan, and Du Cheng's grandfather Liu Haoye sat together and chatted talk.
Cheng Yan and Li Enhui were talking with Zhao Yun, Ye Rou, and Lan Ting, and Gu Sixin and the others gathered together to watch the Spring Festival travel news being played on the projection screen in front of them.
However, when Du Cheng and his party came in, they quickly attracted everyone's attention.
If it was just Du Cheng who came in, it might be nothing, but when Gu Sixin and the others saw Mr. Ye and Ye Chengtu beside Du Cheng, they all stood up one after another. However, when they saw the prime minister in casual clothes At that time, everyone was stunned.
In the room, except for Li Jiaquan and Zhao Yun, everyone had met the Prime Minister when Ai Qier was in labor last time. Later, they all knew the identity of the Prime Minister from Du Chengchu. Seeing the Prime Minister and the Ye family came in, They also stood up.
Although Weitu's status is also very unusual, he still needs to maintain respect when facing the prime minister of a country.
Seeing everyone standing up, Li Jiaquan and Zhao Yun also stood up together.
They knew that Du Cheng was going to pick up the whole family of Ye family. Facing the Ye family, Ye Nanling and Ye Chengtu, Li Jiaquan and Zhao Yun were extremely worried. After all, Ye Nanling and Ye Chengtu treated them very well. Speaking of him, he is almost the kind of high-ranking figure.
However, Li Jiaquan could see slight differences in everyone's expressions.
And his gaze also fell on Ye Nanling and the prime minister. Li Jiaquan already knew from Li Enhui who would be among the people who came to the Ye family this time.
According to what Li Enhui said, it seems that among the people who came this time, there was only one old man like Ye Nanling, but at this moment, there were two old men in front of him. Walking side by side, their identity is certainly not simple.
This made Li Jiaquan more puzzled. Moreover, he always felt that the old man was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but at this time, under this situation, he did not ask. That's it.
"What's the matter, don't you welcome me, please sit down."
Seeing this scene, the Prime Minister smiled and waved to everyone, motioning for everyone to sit down.
After all, he came here just to have a lively New Year's Eve. He didn't want to let everyone have scruples because of his status, so as to spoil his aura. If so, he simply wouldn't come.
"Grandpa, come and sit down too..."
Yuezheng walked towards Du Cheng, and Gu Sixin and the others also received the signal from Du Cheng's eyes, and Gu Sixin and the Prime Minister did not meet each other for the first time and the second time, and each of them quickly returned to normal. And all sat down.
Seeing Gu Sixin and the others like this, Cheng Tanye and Weitu also sat down. Li Jiaquan and Zhao Yun hesitated, but finally sat down.
Ye Nanling and the others naturally don't need to be polite. Gu Sixin and the others often go to Ye's house for dinner, so everyone is very familiar with them.
Du Cheng, on the other hand, arranged for everyone to sit down in the lobby.
The prime minister was naturally placed in the middle, and so was Ye Nanling. Although he didn't say anything on the surface, there were still some things that couldn't be briefed.
After waiting to sit down, Du Cheng began to introduce everyone.
Although Gu Sixin and the others were very familiar with the Prime Minister and the Ye family, Cheng Tanye, Li Jiaquan and Weitu were relatively unfamiliar.
Cheng Tanye and Weitu had met once when Ai Qier was in labor last time, but Li Jiaquan had never met at all.
"Prime Minister, let me introduce you first. This is my grandfather, Liu Haoye."
Du Cheng didn't sit down, but started to introduce.
Hearing Du Cheng's introduction, Liu Haoye quickly sat down from the sofa, walked towards the prime minister himself, stretched out his hand, and said politely to the prime minister, "Hi, prime minister."
The Prime Minister didn't hold on to his identity, but he stood up, shook hands with Liu Haoye, and said with a smile, "Mr. Liu, you are welcome."
Although the words are very simple, but when the Prime Minister said it, it gave people a very friendly feeling, and it didn't make them feel unfamiliar or anything.
Meanwhile, Li Jiaquan and Zhao Yun were completely dumbfounded at this moment.
Prime Minister. . .
Li Jiaquan and Zhao Yun looked at each other, both of them thought they heard it wrong, but they both got confirmation from the other's eyes.
"Enhui, who is this old gentleman?"
Li Jiaquan immediately asked his daughter who was closest to him, his expression was full of shock.
He originally thought that the identities of the Ye family and his party were too big, but he never thought that the prime minister would come here. . .
At this time, Li Jiaquan finally understood why he felt so familiar when he looked at the prime minister.
Although he has never met the Prime Minister in person, he has seen him several times on TV.
It's just that he couldn't think of that aspect at all, and he didn't even dare to imagine that the prime minister of a country would come here at this time.
"Dad, he is the current prime minister of our country." Li Enhui replied softly. She didn't know that the prime minister would come. If she knew, she would have greeted Li Jiaquan earlier.
With Li Enhui's confirmation, Li Jiaquan was still a little unable to react.
The dignified Prime Minister actually came to Du Cheng's house, what this meant, the Li family couldn't imagine.
And looking at the relationship between the Prime Minister and Du Cheng, it is obviously not simple.
Just based on this point, Li Jiaquan could vaguely guess that the identity of his prospective son-in-law is definitely much stronger than he imagined, or in other words, this identity is probably far beyond his guess on.
Zhao Yun also didn't react.
Her thoughts were chaotic, but at this moment, she remembered one thing.
When Du Chenggang went to Li's house, she made a request to Du Chengxiang, that is, to ask a high-ranking official to witness his marriage with Enhui in the future, but now it seems that the conditions he put forward at the beginning are undoubtedly very serious. It's ridiculous.
Not only is Du Cheng's wealth beyond imagination, what's even more astonishing is that his identity and power may not be weaker than wealth.
Du Cheng just introduced Liu Haoye, but he chose to ignore Lan Ting's words.
Anyway, the prime minister wouldn't say anything to Lan Ting, and Liu Haoye's face would be embarrassing if Lan Ting's matter was revealed, so it's better to ignore this matter.
Immediately, Du Cheng began to introduce Weitu again: "Prime Minister, this is my prospective father-in-law, Weitu."
"Duke Clarke, welcome to China."
The prime minister also shook hands with Weitu. Although Du Cheng did not introduce Weitu's identity, the prime minister was very clear about Weitu's identity.
Afterwards, Du Cheng introduced Cheng Tanye.
Du Cheng also used the description of prospective father-in-law. Anyway, these are not secrets, and the Prime Minister already knows it clearly.
And the last one Du Cheng introduced was Li Jiaquan.
Li Jiaquan was no different than Cheng Tanye and Weitu. In comparison, he was obviously much more nervous.
"Hello, Prime Minister."
Li Jiaquan's handshake was obviously very nervous. After all, the old man in front of him could almost be said to be the tallest existence in this country, and to him, he was even more so.
"Hello."
The prime minister simply said hello. Compared with Weitu and Cheng Tanye, the prime minister knew very little about Li Jiaquan, so he didn't say anything more politely.
After introducing everyone, Du Cheng introduced the Ye family and his party.
It took more than ten minutes to wait for this round of introduction, but this kind of introduction is necessary.
By this time, dinner was almost ready.
After chatting briefly for a while, everyone walked towards the restaurant.
Due to the large number of people, there can only be two tables for this small New Year's Eve dinner. One table is for men like Du Cheng and the Prime Minister, and the other table is for women.
Fortunately, Du Cheng had already prepared for it when he designed the restaurant. There are three completely different dining tables in the whole restaurant.
One is the Eight Immortals table full of Chinese cultural characteristics, the other is the square table, and the other is the long table that is common in the West.
Also because of such preparations, otherwise, this restaurant probably wouldn't be able to accommodate so many people.
Du Cheng and the Prime Minister sat at the Eight Immortals table. Nine people formed a table, not too crowded.
As for Gu Sixin and the others, they were sitting at the long table. A dozen or so women sat in exactly two rows, which happened to be full.
As for the dishes, it is basically Chinese food.
Some of them were booked from the hotel, and most of them were basically from Xia Haifang's hands.
Du Cheng is still very confident in Xia Haifang's current cooking skills. Although it is not as good as some senior chefs in hotels, it is still very good for home-cooked meals.
And when the Prime Minister came to Sun Moon Residence last time, Xia Haifang prepared three meals, so even if the Prime Minister would come this time, Du Cheng didn't specially prepare anything because of it.
After waiting for Xia Haifang and Liu Shuyun to bring out the last few dishes, the New Year's dinner can be regarded as officially started.
Du Cheng personally took out several bottles of high-end liquor from the wine cabinet next to him. He knew that the prime minister did not have the habit of drinking red wine, and the prime minister here was the largest, so liquor became his main choice.
As for the rest of the people, Cheng Tanye and Liu Haoye are very proficient in liquor except for Weitu who rarely drinks liquor.
As for Gu Sixin and the others' table, it was basically red wine.
And next to the two tables in the restaurant, there is also a swing-like shaker. At this moment, little Anwei is lying on the shaker. Although the whole restaurant is very noisy, this little guy But he was sleeping very soundly, and everyone's conversation had no effect on him at all.
This also relieved Du Cheng a lot. There was no need to separate someone out to accompany Xiao Anwei. Everyone could enjoy this New Year's Eve dinner and the lively atmosphere to the fullest.
At the wine table, the Prime Minister kept silent about military and political affairs, which can be regarded as really putting aside military and political affairs. Instead, he talked about some interesting things in the past with Mr. Ye, or talked about the international financial situation with Vitu.
Du Cheng played a guiding role in it, occasionally giving out some insights.
Both Cheng Tanye and Liu Haoye could intervene in these chats. After the Prime Minister deliberately said that everyone relaxed and chatted, the two also joined the chatting of the crowd.
In comparison, Li Jiaquan is a bit cramped. His business is too small after all, so it can't be compared with Weitu, and Cheng Tanye is basically looking at the world now, so it can be said that he is doing well. is a character.
Liu Haoye is not much inferior. A powerful Liu family is not comparable to Li Jiaquan. Moreover, his business is too limited, and he basically can't get involved in the topics that everyone is talking about.
Du Cheng also knew this, so he occasionally introduced some simple financial topics, so that Li Jiaquan could occasionally join in, so that it would not be embarrassing.
And this small New Year's Eve dinner, everyone obviously ate extremely happily.
Especially the Prime Minister, it was rare to have such a lively New Year's Eve. Not only did he relax a lot, but he also had a lot more smiles on his face.
