Chapter 419
"Kyoto. Commander Kong is here!"
Hearing this, the guests from all directions took the initiative to part ways. Outside the door, two middle-aged and elderly men strode into the birthday hall with their heads held high.
Commander Kong didn't wear military uniform today, just casual clothes, beside him was his senior staff officer, He Huaizhong. The two walked into the birthday hall one after the other. Mr. Qiao could no longer sit up straight in the high hall, and got up to greet him.
At his peak, he was only at the same level as Commander Kong. Now that he is retired, Commander Kong is at the peak of his age and holds great power, so he cannot be neglected.
After more than half of the greetings, the two gave way to each other and took their seats.
"General Lin."
Commander Kong nodded to Lin Lang from afar, and Lin Lang nodded back, as a greeting. As for He Huaizhong's level is not enough, he can only stand behind Commander Kong and accompany him.
"What is his identity? Commander Kong actually greeted him on his own initiative?" Qiao Bixue, who was standing aside, trembled, her eyes full of surprise.
It is rumored that the big backer behind Miracle Doctor Lin is Commander Kong, and thanks to Commander Kong's care, Miracle Doctor Lin has been able to make it all the way to where he is today.
But the result now is completely beyond her expectation. Does the backer need to take the initiative to greet Lin Lang? But Lin Lang just returned the gift lightly, this kind of behavior is not like a relationship of interests, but more like a discussion among peers.
"What a troublesome fellow."
Xu Zidong's complexion was not very good either. Commander Kong and the Qiao family had never had much contact with each other, and he only had a casual acquaintance with Mr. Qiao. The reason why he was able to attend the birthday banquet was to support Lin Lang in the final analysis.
As for the key points that Qiao Bixue thought of, it was impossible for him to fail to understand, but he didn't care either. He had known for a long time that the relationship between Miracle Doctor Lin and Commander Kong was extraordinary, and all he had was that moment of uncertainty.
"He has Commander Kong in command, but the contacts I have are beyond his imagination. My game of chess is mainly played in the officialdom and shopping malls, separated by mountains. No." Xu Zidong's eyes flickered.
In the birthday hall.
The three elders talked very happily, and none of them took the initiative to mention Lin Lang's matter, as if they had forgotten at the same time. Perhaps only in this way can the three of them sit together.
at this time.
The roll call at the door sounded again.
"South Liao Province, Deputy Secretary Xue is here!"
"What? Deputy Secretary Xue is here." Everyone's faces were not very calm. Although he didn't name his name, how could Deputy Secretary Xue of Nanliao Province have a second person, and he was the big man in the province.
Although there is an adverb before his name, he is a real ministerial official, not much less than Commander Bikong.
"Uncle Xue."
A smile appeared on Xu Zidong's face, and he quickly greeted him. Others may not be aware that Deputy Secretary Xue has a close relationship with him. He and the son of Deputy Secretary Xue's family have been classmates since childhood, and they often visit each other's home.
"Besides, I have a relationship with Uncle Xue. It's not an exaggeration to call him uncle." Xu Zidong's mouth curled up with pride, and he quickly introduced Deputy Secretary Xue into the birthday hall and introduced him to Mr. Qiao and Xu Zhengtong.
Many people outside the house looked at Xu Zidong with envy. It was a great honor to even talk to the second in command of a province.
"Commander Kong is free. I remember that the last time we met was at Wang Yinxiang's birthday banquet." Deputy Secretary Xue looked at Commander Kong, and the meaning of what he said was unclear.
"Deputy Secretary Xue is not the same. He came all the way from Nanliao Province. It's a coincidence that it was the same scene last time." Commander Kong responded lightly.
Others don't know what the two of them are fighting, but Xu Zidong is very clear. It is said that at the banquet of Nan Liao Wang's family, the two had a very unpleasant quarrel because of Lin Lang.
This time too.
Xu Zidong glanced at Lin Lang from the corner of his eye, but was shocked to find that the latter was holding Chen Miaoxuan's little hand, ignoring everyone around him, and the love affair was in progress.
"Even Deputy Secretary Xue can't hold him down when he comes out of the mountain?" Xu Zidong murmured to himself, then shook his head: "I really don't know if you have a strong heart or a big nerve."
Deputy Secretary Xue is the second-in-command in the entire Nanliao Province, and he strangled Miracle Doctor Lin by the throat. Others would have stepped forward to please him respectfully, but Lin Lang didn't care and turned a blind eye.
The turmoil brought about by Deputy Secretary Xue has not yet subsided, and a roll call outside the door stirred up waves again.
"Mayor of Zhonghai City, Jing Jiu is here often!"
The voice fell, and the audience boiled.
"The mayor is here!"
The expressions of the guests on the field, whether they were from Zhonghai or dignitaries from other provinces and cities, suddenly changed drastically at this moment.
The guests from all directions moved, and they involuntarily gave way to a wide road to welcome the two old men into the manor.
The mayor of Zhonghai and concurrently the chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. A real official at the ministerial level may not look like a mayor, but he is the mayor of a municipality directly under the central government, and he is a big official in frontiers. He is bigger than a provincial official like Deputy Secretary Xue.
If you compare it, even Commander Kong is half as inferior to him. After all, this is an era of peace, and the real power of local officials is several times greater than that of military officers. After all, there were very few military families present, or those who could ask for Commander Kong, but the mayor was different, he could get his hands on everything in the local area.
These two old men walked towards each other, one was walking like a dragon, with a majestic aura, while the other was bent and crooked, like a bad habit developed by sedentary fishing, extremely inconspicuous. The old man with a straight back is naturally easy to recognize, Mayor Jing Jiuchang who can often be seen on TV.
There were also sharp-eyed people who noticed the crooked old man.
Because this old man walked side by side with Jing Jiuchang. Did not pass the roll call, but it should not be underestimated.
