Chapter 42 The Ma Family Shows Friendship
Hearing the sound, Zhou Yang suddenly turned his head and looked to his side. At some point, a middle-aged man he didn't recognize stood aside and looked at him with a smile.
"Hello, Zhou Yang, my son was very offended last time. I will give you this glass of wine to make amends for him." Regardless of whether Zhou Yang drank or not, Ma Shennian smiled and drank the wine in one gulp.
There is a smile that seems to erase the grudges, "You are all young people, it is normal to have small fights. We need to communicate more in the future."
Ma Shennian's actions made many other people marvel. Everyone knew who Ma Shennian was. The head of the Ma family, a well-known super wealthy businessman in Nanzhou City, with his identity, he took the initiative to toast a young man and also
Do it first out of respect. Although everyone couldn't hear what Ma Shennian said, it didn't stop everyone from guessing about the relationship between the two. Is it possible that this young man has some special identity?
Zhou Yang looked at the two of them in surprise. He didn't know Ma Shennian, he had only heard of it, but Ma Ye had seen him. At this time, Ma Ye was standing behind his father, his eyes a little dodged. Only then did Zhou Yang see clearly.
The two criss-crossing scars on the other person's forehead looked a bit ferocious under the light, almost disfigured. Looking at Ma Shennian's smiling face, Zhou Yang asked himself whether he had mentioned Hong Wenzheng's incident, just because his son was beaten like this
, can you believe what the other party says? This is considered a small fight? So what does the other party mean?
Although Ma Shennian said words of reconciliation, Zhou Yang did not see any goodwill in his eyes. However, they had already taken the initiative to show their kindness. No matter how big the grievances were, there was no need to embarrass the other party here. Zhou Yang would also
Finished the drink.
"Mr. Ma, I'm drinking here." At this time, Jiang Tianming arrived "just in time" with a wine glass and looked at Ma Shennian with a smile. Today was the Jiang family's business. Although he kept going around among the guests, he didn't
Zhou Yang had not been forgotten, so as soon as he saw Ma Shennian walking towards Zhou Yang's position, he immediately followed him.
He was not worried that Zhou Yang would suffer, he was worried that Zhou Yang couldn't help but beat someone again. He clearly remembered the night when Zhou Yang encountered the killer. If he hadn't kept reminding and persuading Zhou Yang, Hong Wenzheng would definitely not have been able to wait for the country's death.
sanctions.
"Haha, Mr. Jiang, I did something wrong with Quan Zi before, and I had some minor issues with Xiao Zhou. Now, I'm here to be the peacemaker." Ma Shennian had a completely different attitude towards Jiang Tianming. He didn't care at all.
At this moment, Zhou Yang realized why the other party took the initiative to show his kindness. Because of the Jiang family! Because of the relationship between Jiang Tianming and him!
How can such a big conflict be just a small holiday? It is not an exaggeration to say that there is a mortal feud. Zhou Yang never thought that he could get over it with a glass of wine and an apology. At least he couldn't. The other party wanted to kill him 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 peace with himself on the surface to show his attitude towards the Jiang family. In the final analysis, the other party still did not
Giving up hatred towards yourself is just hiding it temporarily.
"How can I bother you, Mr. Ma, to take care of this trivial matter personally? Xiaoyang is not an ignorant person. He was just a little injured and the house was damaged. It's okay. It's okay. Let's stop here. Let's go and have a drink."
, I happen to have a project to talk to you about." After saying that, Jiang Tianming directly pulled Ma Shennian through the crowd and walked to a place with fewer people. Many people looked at the two people with envy. Being able to chat alone meant that there was one
An opportunity for cooperation. Before leaving, Zhou Yang saw Jiang Tianming secretly giving him an OK gesture behind his back.
From the beginning to the end, Zhou Yang didn't have time to say a word. Jiang Tianming took care of everything with one hand. As for the OK gesture, Zhou Yang probably understood what Jiang Tianming meant.
"Eh? Zhou Yang, why is Brother Jiang so polite to the Ma family?" Seeing Jiang Tianming and Ma Shennian not far away talking and laughing, and shaking hands solemnly from time to time, Zhao Chuan asked doubtfully, what was going on here?
The contact was limited to the imperial capital at that time. Zhou Yang beat Ma Ye and Hong Wenzheng very badly. As for Hong Wenzheng's hiring of professional killers, he had no idea about it later.
Later, he thought that it was Jiang Tianming who came forward to help Zhou Yang settle things so that he did not cause other troubles. But even so, the relationship between the two families was not so close.
"Are you welcome? I can feel that Ma Shennian's heart is bleeding." Zhou Yang shrugged, and his words made Zhao Chuan even more confused.
The banquet was going on as usual, and it would not be affected by any personal matters. The leading wealthy businessmen and their families kept shuttling between the banquet tables. Almost all the high-level officials in the entire Nanzhou were here, and some higher-level people simply sat there.
There is no need to move around the original position, because there are so many people coming to toast that there is no chance to leave the seat.
The old man's table was crowded with people. As today's protagonist, the old man felt happy when he saw the Jiang family in full swing. Regardless of his family's persuasion, he drank a small drink by himself.
Not long after, Jiang Tianming seemed to have reached an agreement with Ma Shennian. After the two had a drink with each other, Jiang Tianming left and went to other tables, while Ma Shennian returned to his seat. When everyone thought that the Ma family was using this to talk to Jiang
There was some new cooperation between the family, but Zhou Yang noticed that Ma Shennian's left hand was clenched into a fist, with blue veins popping out, but he still looked smiling on the surface.
As the director of the Nanzhou City Health Bureau, Zhao Yunhong is a powerful person at the department and bureau level. In addition to taking the initiative to talk to some people at the beginning, Zhao Yunhong never left his seat after returning to his seat. There was an endless stream of people coming to toast him, including wealthy businessmen.
When toasting, he only needs to taste it briefly, but other leaders, regardless of their official positions, cannot be so casual when toasting. The banquet has only been held for less than half an hour, and his face is already red from drinking.
Not only Zhao Yunhong, such a grand event is rare in Nanzhou. What is rare is that everyone present today opened their mouths to celebrate the old man's birthday. There were boxes of wine after box after box. Anyone who could drink was not hidden.
Use your best ability to maximize the atmosphere.
Even though Zhou Yang didn't drink, he just drank a lot of drinks. There were many people coming to this table to toast. It was okay to toast alone. No one knew him and had nothing to do with him. But some people directly toasted to the whole table. But usually
In this situation, Zhou Yang could only pick up the drink and drink it all in one gulp, although he still doesn't know the names and identities of those who toasted.
Bai Xiaorou is sitting next to Zhou Yang. She still says nothing. Maybe she is bored. She only raises her head to drink when someone comes to toast her. She is playing with her mobile phone from beginning to end. Zhou Yang peeks several times.
When I saw that the other party was actually playing "Mahjong", I couldn't help but shake my head secretly. I recalled that the first time we met was gambling on stones in the Mantolu market. Could it be that the other party was particularly good at gambling?
But depending on the situation, Bai Xiaorou does win more than she loses.
For mahjong, Zhou Yang only knew the general rules, not mastery. Several times he saw Bai Xiaorou hesitating how to play the cards, so he reminded him a few times. As a result, Bai Xiaorou played the cards according to Zhou Yang's instructions, and always fired directly, so that later
Zhou Yang spoke again, but the other party just ignored him with a "Do you know how to do it?" attitude, leaving Zhou Yang speechless and simply chatting with Zhao Chuan every sentence.
"Yunhong, long time no see. Come and have a drink together. Tianlei, please call Uncle Zhao." Zhou Yang, who was chatting with Zhao Chuan, was shocked when he heard the sound and looked at the source of the sound. Zhao Chuan saw Zhou Yang
Feeling strange, he also looked there, his expression suddenly a little angry.
"Hello, Uncle Zhao." At this time, a handsome young man, led by Zhou Weijin and his wife Zheng Meiling, came to Zhou Yang's table and called Zhao Yunhong respectfully. The young man was Zhou Weijin's son Zhou Tianlei.
Zhou Weijin shook hands with Zhao Yunhong cordially and did not notice the other people sitting there. Of course, even in the crowd, Zhou Weijin would not be able to recognize Zhou Yang, whom he had not seen for many years. After all, with his Jiawang District Committee
As a secretary, only Zhao Yunhong at this table caught his eye. The two of them were on the same level and were the backbone of the powerful faction at the department and bureau level, but they were assigned different tasks.
"Oh, Secretary Zhou is so polite. We haven't seen each other for so many years. Tian Lei is really a talented person. Xiaochuan, my name is Uncle Zhou." Zhao Yunhong saw that Zhou Weijin was so polite, so of course he couldn't lose etiquette and said to Zhao Chuan, even though they are of the same level,
But Zhou Weijin is in charge of a large district, and Zhao Yunhong is only the director of the municipal bureau, so on the surface, Zhou Weijin's status is still higher.
Zhou Tianlei has received praise from countless people today. He has a father who is the secretary of the district committee. He is always complimented wherever he goes. Coupled with his own appearance, he can be said to steal the show at this feast.
However, Zhao Chuan seemed to have not heard his father's words and turned his head and ignored them.
Zhao Chuan's move made the scene a little embarrassing. Zhao Yunhong was very surprised at his son's reaction. He was always polite to everyone when he went to toast him, so why is he like this now.
Then Zhao Yunhong saw Zhou Yang sitting next to his son. He paused in his heart and instantly understood the key. Zhou Yang was abandoned by the Zhou family, but he had a very good relationship with his son. But everyone was walking around in society, so how could he do anything?
Everything is done according to one's own temper. Zhao Yunhong couldn't help but feel a little angry, "Xiaochuan, call someone!"
Facing his father's stern expression, Zhao Chuan was a little frightened. Thinking about what happened to his good brother Zhou Yang, he called out "Uncle Zhou~Uncle." in a very high and long voice, attracting the attention of others.
They all looked sideways.
Zhou Weijin was a little embarrassed when Zhao Chuan made such a fuss, but he still smiled on the surface, "Haha, they are all children, why should Yun Hong bother? Xiao Chuan is really interesting."
Suddenly, Zhou Weijin seemed to feel his wife pushing him from behind, "What's wrong? Meiling."
"Weijin, look who that person is, how he looks like..." Zheng Meiling said softly with some suspicion, because she was not sure whether the other person was the person she thought of, after all, after so many years
She didn't see it, but the change was really big, and she thought that such an occasion was probably not something the other party could come to.
