Chapter 42 The Ma Family Shows Friendship
Hearing the sound, Zhou Yang suddenly turned his head and looked beside him. At some point, a middle-aged man he didn't know stood aside and was looking at him with a smile.
"Hello, Zhou Yang, my child was offended last time. I will apologize for this glass of wine for him." Whether Zhou Yang drank or not, Ma Shennian smiled and took the initiative to drink the wine in the glass, which was quite meaningless to eliminate grudges, "You are all young people, it is normal for small fights, and we will communicate more in the future."
Ma Shennian's actions have amaze many others. Everyone knows who Ma Shennian is. The head of the Ma family, a well-known wealthy businessman in Nanzhou City, took the initiative to toast a young man with his identity, and he did it first. Although everyone could not hear what Ma Shennian said, it did not hinder everyone's guess about the two. Could it be that this young man has any special identity?
Zhou Yang looked at the other two in surprise. He didn't know Ma Shennian, but he had only heard of it, but Ma Ye had seen it. At this time, Ma Ye was standing behind his father, his eyes dodging. Zhou Yang then saw clearly that the two crisscrossing scars on the other party's forehead looked a little ferocious under the light, almost disfigured. Looking at Ma Shennian's smiling face, Zhou Yang asked himself that he would not mention Hong Wenzheng's matter, but his son was beaten like this, can the other party believe the words? This is also a small fight? What does the other party mean?
Although Ma Shennian said reconciliation, Zhou Yang did not see any kindness in his eyes, but others had already taken the initiative to show goodwill. No matter how much grudges there were, there was no need to make things difficult for the other party here, and Zhou Yang also drank the drink in his hand.
"Mr. Ma, are drinking here." At this time, Jiang Tianming came with a glass of wine, and looked at Ma Shennian with a smile. Today is the Jiang family's business. Although he kept dealing with guests, he did not forget Zhou Yang's place. So when he saw Ma Shennian walking towards Zhou Yang's position, he immediately followed him.
He was not worried that Zhou Yang would suffer a loss, but he was afraid that Zhou Yang would not be able to help but beat him up again. He clearly remembered that the night Zhou Yang encountered the killer. If he had not been reminded and persuaded Zhou Yang, Hong Wenzheng would definitely not have been able to wait for the sanctions of the country.
"Haha, Mr. Jiang, I did something wrong with the dog before, and I had a little holiday with Xiao Zhou. I'm here to be a peacemaker." Ma Shennian had a completely different attitude towards Jiang Tianming and had no airs at all. Only then did Zhou Yang realize why the other party took the initiative to show goodwill, because of the Jiang family! Because of Jiang Tianming's relationship with him!
Can such a big conflict be a small holiday? It is not an exaggeration to say that you have a mortal grudge. Zhou Yang would never think that a glass of wine and an apology can be exposed. At least he cannot. The other party wanted to kill himself at the beginning.
The only explanation is that after Ma Shennian understood his relationship with Jiang Tianming, he was afraid of offending Jiang Tianming and the Jiang family, so he made up with him on the surface to show his attitude towards the Jiang family. After all, the other party still did not give up his hatred for him, but just hid it for the time being.
"How can you bother Mr. Ma, you personally? Xiaoyang is not an ignorant person, so he was injured and the house was broken. It's okay, it's okay, just stop here, let's have a drink, and there's a project to talk to you." After saying that, Jiang Tianming directly pulled Ma Shennian through the crowd and walked to a place with a little fewer people. Many people looked at the two of them enviously. If you can chat alone, it means that there is an opportunity for cooperation. Before leaving, Zhou Yang saw Jiang Tianming secretly making an OK gesture for himself behind his back.
From beginning to end, Zhou Yang didn't have time to say a sentence, and Jiang Tianming took everything over. As for the OK gesture, Zhou Yang probably understood what Jiang Tianming meant.
"Huh? Zhou Yang, why did Brother Jiang be so polite to the Ma family?" Seeing Jiang Tianming talking and laughing at Ma Shennian not far away, Zhao Chuan wondered that he had not had much contact with the matter here, only in the imperial capital at that time, Zhou Yang beat Ma Ye and Hong Wenzheng and others very badly, and he had no idea about Hong Wenzheng's hiring of professional killers later.
Later he thought that it was Jiang Tianming who came forward to help Zhou Yang settle the matter and did not cause any other trouble, but even so, the relationship between the two families would not be so close.
"Are you welcome? I can feel the blood in Ma Shennian's heart." Zhou Yang shrugged, and his words made Zhao Chuan even more confused.
The banquet will be held as usual and will not be affected by any personal affairs. The leaders and wealthy businessmen will keep shuttle between the tables with their families. Almost all the senior executives in the entire Nanzhou are here. Some of the higher-level ones simply sit in their original positions without having to walk, because there are too many people coming to toast and they can't get a chance to leave their seats at all.
The old man's table was filled with crowds. As the protagonist today, looking at the Jiang family's sunny scene, the old man was happy from the bottom of his heart. He ignored the persuasion of his family and forced himself to drink a small cup.
Soon, Jiang Tianming seemed to have reached an agreement with Ma Shennian. After the two drank a drink, Jiang Tianming left and walked towards other tables, and Ma Shennian returned to his seat. When everyone thought that the Ma family had some new cooperation with the Jiang family, Zhou Yang noticed that Ma Shennian's left hand was clenched into a fist, and the blue veins bulged, but on the surface they still looked smiling.
As the director of the Nanzhou Municipal Health Bureau, Zhao Yunhong, a real-powered person at the department level, had no choice but to talk to some people at the beginning, and then he never left when he returned to his seat. There were endless people coming to toast him. The wealthy businessmen just had to taste it casually, but as other leaders, no matter how big or small the official position, they could not toast him. The banquet was only held for less than half an hour, and he was already drunk and blushed.
Not only Zhao Yunhong, such a grand event is rare in Nanzhou. What is rare is that everyone present has opened their birthday to celebrate the old man’s birthday, one box after another, and no one can hide anything that can be drunk, and they are doing their best to bring the atmosphere to the extreme.
Even though Zhou Yang did not drink, he had just had a full drink. There were many people coming to this table to toast. It was okay for a single toast. No one knew him and nothing happened to him, but some of them directly toast. In this case, Zhou Yang could only pick up the drink and drink it all. Although he still doesn't know the names and identities of those toast.
Bai Xiaorou sat next to Zhou Yang, and she still said nothing. Maybe she felt bored. Except for the people who came to toast and drink together, she would look up and drink some. She was playing with her mobile phone from beginning to end. Zhou Yang secretly saw the other party playing "mahjong" several times, and couldn't help but shake her head secretly. He recalled that the first encounter was gambling stones at the Mantolu Market. Could it be that the other party was particularly gambled?
However, depending on the situation, Bai Xiaorou does win more than lose less.
Regarding mahjong, Zhou Yang only understood the general rules and was not proficient. He saw Bai Xiaorou hesitating about how to play cards several times. He reminded him a few times. As a result, Bai Xiaorou played cards according to Zhou Yang's words, and he directly pointed the cannons. Later, Zhou Yang talked again, and the other party ignored him, "Will you look like you?", which made Zhou Yang speechless, so he simply chatted with Zhao Chuan every sentence.
"Yun Hong, long time no see, come and have a drink together, Tianlei, call Uncle Zhao." Zhou Yang, who was chatting with Zhao Chuan, suddenly shook after hearing the sound, and suddenly looked at the source of the sound. Zhao Chuan saw Zhou Yang's strangeness and looked there, and immediately looked at the expression of resentment.
"Hello Uncle Zhao." At this time, a handsome young man came to Zhou Yang's table under the leadership of Zhou Weijin and his wife Zheng Meiling, and called out respectfully in front of Zhao Yunhong. The young man was Zhou Weijin's son Zhou Tianlei.
Zhou Weijin shook hands affectionately with Zhao Yunhong, and did not notice that they were sitting there. Of course, even in the crowd, Zhou Weijin could not recognize Zhou Yang who had not seen for many years. After all, as the secretary of the Jiawang District Party Committee, only Zhao Yunhong could catch his eye on this table. Both of them were at the same level, both of them were backbones of the real power faction at the department level, but they were different from their jobs.
"Oh, Secretary Zhou is polite. After not seeing each other for so many years, Tianlei is really a handsome talent. Xiaochuan, called Uncle Zhou." Seeing that Zhou Weijin is so polite, Zhao Yunhong could not be polite, and said to Zhao Chuan that although the two are of the same level, Zhou Weijin is in charge of a large area. Zhao Yunhong is only the director of the municipal bureau, so on the contrary, Zhou Weijin's status is still higher.
Zhou Tianlei has been praised by countless people today. There is a father who is the secretary of the district party committee, and he is complimented everywhere he goes. Coupled with his own appearance, he can be said to be the most popular in this feast.
However, Zhao Chuan seemed to have heard his father's words as if he hadn't heard them, so he turned around and ignored them.
Zhao Chuan's move made the scene a little embarrassed. Zhao Yunhong was very surprised by his son's reaction. He was very polite to everyone when he went to toast with him before, so why is this happening now?
Then Zhao Yunhong saw Zhou Yang sitting next to his son, and immediately understood the key point. Zhou Yang was abandoned by the Zhou family, but had a very good relationship with his son. But everyone was walking around in society, and everything could be done with his own temperament. Zhao Yunhong couldn't help but feel angry, "Xiaochuan, call me!"
Facing his father's stern expression, Zhao Chuan was a little scared. He thought about the experience of his good brother Zhou Yang, and shouted "Zhou~Uncle~Uncle." His voice was very high and long, which attracted everyone else to look at him.
Zhou Weijin was a little embarrassed by Zhao Chuan's fuss, but he still smiled on the surface, "Hehe, they are all children, why bother Yun Hong? Xiaochuan is really interesting."
Suddenly, Zhou Weijin seemed to feel his wife pushing her behind him, "What's wrong? Meiling."
"Weijin, look at who that person is, how does it look like...?" Zheng Meiling said softly, because she was not very sure whether the other party was the person she thought of. After all, she hadn't seen him for so many years, and the changes were really big, and she thought that such an occasion should not be able to come to the other party.
"Who?" Zhou Weijin looked in the direction his wife pointed, and was shocked.
