Chapter 358 - Graduation Banquet 3
Translator: Lonelytree
The normal graduation banquet brought in the county leaders. The Xiao Family was really flattered. They didn’t invite the leaders because they didn’t think the leaders would have the time. So why did the leaders suddenly all appear at the banquet?
Xiao Lingyu looked at the leaders and frowned slightly. Then, she looked at Gong Tianhao as if asking, “Did you invite these people?”
Gong Tianhao understood the question in her eyes and raised his eyebrows slightly. Then, he lowered his head and explained, “Yu ‘Er, I didn’t invite them. They probably are clever enough to tell the demolition of Taoyuan Village had to do with your family, so they’re here to make some connections.”
After all, the demolition incident had caused the whole City Z and Xing Yin County government departments to shake.
The smarter ones would know that there was a powerful, invisible hand operating everything. Or else things wouldn’t have been tured so easily.
When Xiao Lingyu heard Gong Tianhao’s answer, she curled her lips and said, “Then what should we do now? Should we go out and receive them?”
Gong Tianhao held her hand and said with a smile, “I don’t think so. You need to stay and rest. Your uncles and dad will handle everything. The leaders are here to congratulate your brother. They won’t stay for long.”
As Gong Tianhao expected, the men of the Xiao Family had already moved. After all, they knew these people were very important. They had to treat them with respect.
“Leader Qian, why are you all here?” Xiao Zhengyang greeted Qian Guoxin and the others generously. “Quick, please come in and have a drink of water first! You must be thirsty after traveling for so long.”
Xiao Zhengyang led Qian Guoxin and the others into the main house.
When the villagers heard that these people were the county leaders, they became scared and nervous. They looked at them with timid eyes.
The villagers were curious and nervous about the appearance of the county leader. They did not dare to approach him. He was the county leader!
He attended the banquet. It showed how much he valued Xiao Lingye’s good results.
After Qian Guoxin sat down, he looked around and then asked with a smile, “May I know where is the man of the hour?”
Xiao Zhengyang was slightly stunned, but then he said with a smile, “Leader Qian, you’re too polite.
“Please wait for a moment. I’ll ask someone to call my son out to meet you.”
As soon as he said this, Xiao Lingye and a few classmates walked out of their room.
They must have heard the commotion outside.
When he heard that the county leader had come to attend his graduation banquet, Xiao Lingye was a little excited.
He walked out and called out to Father Xiao, “Dad.”
Father Xiao nodded and said, “Ye ‘Er, this is Leader Qian. He especially came to meet you and congratulate us.”
Xiao Lingye suppressed his excitement and greeted the people, “Leader Qian, Leader…” He greeted the other leaders too.
Qian Guoxin nodded in satisfaction, “Your son is really a handsome young man. He got good grades, got into imperial university, and became the top scorer of science in City Z. He made the entire Xing Yin County proud.”
After Xiao Lingye heard this, he said shyly, “Leader Qian, I only performed a little better than usual. I don’t deserve your praise.”
“Haha, and he is polite too!” When Leader Qian saw Xiao Lingye’s expression, he was very happy and laughed out loud. “You are the only student in our county to be admitted to Imperial University in the past few years.
“No 1 High School has never produced a top scorer in science before. You have broken all kinds of records. You have made us all proud. We came to thank you.”
Qian Guoxin explained the ostentatious reason why they were here. However, the secret reason was that Qian Guoxin wanted to build a good relationship with the Xiao family.
There was a rumor in the county’s political circle that the Xiao Family was responsible for the recent political earthquake. There had to be someone very powerful supporting this family. Therefore, they had to ingratiate themselves to the Xiao Family.
Since the last incident, Qian Guoxin understood that Taoyuan Village was not to be easily touched.
Qian Guoxin looked around from the corner of his eyes. Then, he turned to a small table in the commer of the main house. An old man was seated there.
The two young men standing next to him looked very extraordinary.
They had the kind of murderous aura that had been honed on the battlefield.
Qian Guoxin suppressed the impulse to ask for more details. He took a sip of tea and then said with a smile, “I heard that your daughter is also very good at her studies. She was once the top scorer in our county, right?”
This was not a secret, and Xiao Zhengyang didn’t hide it.
He nodded and said, “My daughter was indeed the top scorer in the county back then. However, that was all in the past. It’s nothing worth mentioning.”
Qian Guoxin suddenly asked curiously, “How did you raise such an outstanding pair of children?”
“Hehe, there’s no secret. We just gave them freedom. They work hard. That’s all.” Xiao Zhengyang said very normally.
That was indeed what Father Xiao had done. However, the others who heard him were in disbelief.
No secret? Raised them freely? Hard work?
Is he trying to show off?
