Ye Qiu stood up and said to Vice Mayor Huang with a smile, “I’ve wanted to visit you for a long time, but you’re just too busy with your work and I’m afraid of disturbing you.”
“See what you said, if you can come to my home, I can’t wait to welcome you.”Deputy Mayor Huang said, “Next time when you go to my house, call me in advance, I will cook for you, although the dishes I cook are not as nice as the hotel’s, but the taste will definitely not be bad.”
Ye Qiu said, “Then I must try your craftsmanship some other day.”
“Then it’s a deal, you must go some other day.”Vice Mayor Huang instructed Director Li: “If Ye Qiu doesn’t go, you’ll tie him up for me.”
Director Li said, “Don’t worry, I will definitely do this matter.”
A few people laughed.
On the other side.
Liu Chao’s face was pale.
It wasn’t until this time that he finally understood why Ye Qiu, a tiny doctor, dared to call his bluff, so it turned out that Director Li wasn’t the only one behind Ye Qiu, there was also Vice Mayor Huang.
And by the looks of it, Vice Mayor Huang’s attitude towards Ye Qiu was very unusual.
Strange, how did Ye Qiu climb into friendship with Vice Mayor Huang?
When Zhou Tai Lai saw this scene, he couldn’t wait to slap himself a few times.
If he had known that this doctor surnamed Ye had a friendship with Vice Mayor Huang, he wouldn’t have said anything to help Xiang Lao out.
Now, not only did he lose his chance for promotion, but he would also have a hard time in the city hall in the future.
Xiang Lao’s eyes narrowed and he looked at Ye Qiu twice in surprise.
He was older than Liu Chao and Zhou Tai Lai, and paid more attention to some details, and he found that when Vice Mayor Huang spoke to Ye Qiu, not only did he have a kind smile on his face, but also his tone was very enthusiastic, and even, there was a hint of ingratiation.
Xiang Lao’s heart was filled with doubts, was Ye Qiu really just a small doctor?
Why did Vice Mayor Huang want to curry favour with him?
Of course, these were the thoughts in Xiang Lao’s mind, and in front of so many people, Xiang Lao would not say it.
Vice Mayor Huang exchanged a few more pleasantries with Ye Qiu before leaving the private room.
As soon as he left, Zhou Tailai offered his farewell.
“Xiang Lao, I’ll leave first.”Zhou Tai Lai said.
Xiang Lao felt guilty, if he hadn’t called Zhou Tai Lai over, Zhou Tai Lai wouldn’t have been suspended and said, “Xiao Zhou, I’m sorry for what happened today, I”
Without waiting for Xiang Lao to finish his sentence, Zhou Tailai said, “Xiang Lao, back then, you had the grace of saving my life, and I have been repaying you all these years, from today onwards, the past favours are written off, and from now on, there will be no more contact, you take care!”
Zhou Tai Lai finished and turned to leave.
Those bosses who came with him, also left one after another.
In an instant, Xiang Lao seemed to have aged a dozen years, the wrinkles on his forehead deepened.
Soon, only Ye Qiu and a few others were left inside the private room again.
Liu Chao and Xiang Lao were sitting on the chairs, both of their faces were grey and neither of them spoke.
Especially Liu Chao, his heart wanted to die.
He had originally invited Xiang Lao over in order to hammer Director Li and clean up Ye Qiu, but now, not only had the purpose not been achieved, he had instead gotten himself involved.
Vice Mayor Huang had said that an investigation team would be coming to investigate his problems soon, and once it was cleared up, it would be a few years in jail for the lesser offence, or life imprisonment for the more serious one.
Thinking about this, Liu Chao felt hopeless in life.
As for Ye Qiu and Director Li, they were talking and laughing.
“Director Li, try this king crab, it tastes great.”Ye Qiu pointed at a plate of Emperor Crab in the middle of the table and said to Director Li.
Bureau Chief Li used his chopsticks to clip a piece of crab and slowly ate it, after a while, Bureau Chief Li was surprised and said, “Hmm, the taste is really good.”
“Director Li, don’t just eat the food, drink.”
Ye Qiu opened a bottle of Maotai and poured a glass for Director Li.
“Come on, Ye Qiu, let’s have a toast.”Director Li was in a good mood at this moment, and he and Ye Qiu ate their dishes while drinking.
Liu Chao looked up at the two, his eyes full of anger.
Shit, this table was invited by me, and the wine was also bought by me, you guys ate my food and drank my wine, why did you still find Vice Mayor Huang to deal with me?
This breath, I can’t bear it.
Liu Chao was about to get angry, but suddenly saw that Xiang Lao passed a look to him, signalling him not to get angry.
“Teacher, what are you doing?”Liu Chao asked in a low voice.
“People under the roof, have to bow their heads, things have come to this, bow your head.”Xiang Lao said.
Liu Chao gritted his teeth and said, “Teacher, I can’t bear this breath.”
“You have to endure even if you can’t, do you want to spend the rest of your life in prison?”
Hearing Xiang Lao’s words, Liu Chao fell silent.
“A great man can bend and bend, what you lose by bowing your head is only face, otherwise, what you lose is your future and life.”Xiang Lao sighed, “You are a teacher who has watched you grow up all the way, I don’t want you to go to jail.”
“Student understands.”
Liu Chao took a deep breath, then poured himself a glass of wine, picked up the glass and stood up, saying, “Director Li, Ye Qiu, I did the wrong thing today, I’ll make amends to you, I’ll drink to this.”
However, Ye Qiu and Director Li acted as if they didn’t hear him, the two of them were still talking and laughing.
Liu Chao was irritated for a while, where had he been so angry before, his lungs were about to explode from anger.
However, he didn’t forget what Xiang Lao had just said and still drank the wine in one gulp.
Then, he poured himself another glass of wine.
Liu Chao looked at Ye Qiu and said, “Ye Qiu, I admit that I did the wrong thing in the past, I now solemnly apologise to you, I’m sorry.”
“I’ll drink this cup of wine.”
“I hope you give me a chance, okay?”
Ye Qiu didn’t even look at Liu Chao and said to Director Li, “Director Li, let’s drink.”
“Come on, dry up.”Director Li smiled and clinked glasses with Ye Qiu.
Liu Chao couldn’t hold back any longer and smashed his glass on the table with a bang.
“Old me has apologised to you guys, what do you mean?”
Liu Chao yelled at Ye Qiu and Director Li, “Do you really want to drive you all to extinction?”
“Drive to extinction?”Ye Qiu finally raised his head, glanced at Liu Chao and said disdainfully, “You’re not qualified enough to make me drive to extinction.”
“Ye Qiu, since you want to fish to death, it’s not my fault.”After Liu Chao finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone and dialled a number.
Seeing his move, Ye Qiu was a bit curious, did this bastard still have a backhand?
But in Jiangzhou, what kind of person dared to call his bluff?
Ye Qiu ignored it and continued to drink with Director Li.
After Liu Chao finished the phone call, he sat down on the chair, stared at Ye Qiu sinisterly and said, “If you are willing to give a word to Vice Mayor Huang not to investigate me and keep my position as the dean of the school, then I can pretend that nothing has happened.”
“Do you think that’s possible?”Ye Qiu laughed coldly, “Everyone has to pay for what they’ve done.”
“It seems like you’re bent on driving me to my death, well, we’ll all die together if we have to die.”
