Chapter 484 Toast
After saying hello, Yu Yongyuan took them into the hotel.
Judging from the situation, Yu Yongyuan was waiting for them.
Ye Qing also knew that he was benefiting from Shen Ninglu's help.
He didn't think that Yu Yongyuan would look at him differently just because he had done so many things.
He has never done anything good for Yu Yongyuan, and he has no relationship with Yu Yongyuan. Why should he help him in everything?
When Yu Yongyuan invited us to dinner, of course we didn’t go to a small restaurant, but to the most prestigious hotel in town.
I directly booked a large private room with two tables inside.
Quite a few people were already sitting there, including the village chiefs from three other villages in addition to the one above.
There wasn't even a deputy village chief. This shows how high the standard of this banquet was.
On the small island of Longwei Island, if these people stomped their feet together, the whole island would shake.
On the contrary, Ye Qing was the only white-collar worker among these people. When they saw Yu Yongyuan bringing him in, everyone was a little surprised.
Could it be that the person Yu Yongyuan was waiting for at the door was Ye Qing?
This young man is not bad and has done some great things recently, but he shouldn't be so bad that Yu Yongyuan would look at him differently.
Everyone exchanged glances, and many thoughts and calculations were communicated through their eyes.
Everyone stood up and greeted us with smiles, and everyone was very enthusiastic.
No matter what you think in your heart, at least you put in enough effort on the surface.
They are all smart people.
The eyelashes are empty.
They are all talented actors, and those with poor acting skills are not allowed to sit in this box.
Yu Yongyuan said, "Sit, sit, sit."
"It's after get off work now, everyone can be casual."
"Don't call me mayor anymore, just call me Old Yu."
Everyone responded with a smile, but no one actually called out "Old Yu", and no one sat down first, after all, Yu Yongyuan hadn't sat down yet.
Xiang Yongde laughed heartily: "Old Yu, if we go by age, you should call me brother."
Yu Yongyuan nodded: "Yes, yes, Brother Xiang, Longwei Island will rely on your leadership from now on."
"If there were mostly elderly people present, I wouldn't say anything."
"Xiao Shen and Xiao Ye, these two young people, will have to rely on Brother Xiang and everyone for more help in the future."
As he spoke, he sat down and motioned Ye Qing to sit next to him.
Ye Qing quickly shook his head.
Given today's situation, it's only natural for him to sit at the back.
But what he didn't expect was that Yu Yongyuan directly took his hand and pulled him to sit down: "Sit, sit, sit. Today, I specially invited you and Brother Xiang to dinner. The others are just here to keep you company."
When everyone heard this, their expressions varied, but they all looked at Xiang Yongde at the same time.
Everyone suddenly realized that today's meal was a reconciliation dinner for Xiang Yongde and Ye Qingbing to resolve their past grudges.
Xiang Yongde's smile never faded, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking. He was definitely a talented actor.
Ye Qing had no choice but to sit down.
Shen Ninglu sat next to him, and Xiang Yongde sat on the other side of Yu Yuyongyuan.
Everyone then took their seats.
Yu Yongyuan took a sip of tea and said, "I think everyone is familiar with Xiao Ye."
"During this period, we have accomplished many great things. Not only have they brought benefits to the village, but we have also earned a lot of honors and medals for our island."
"It's no exaggeration to say that they are representatives of the outstanding young people on Longwei Island."
Everyone agreed.
Today they took away the tape recorder, and no matter what you said, they said you were stupid.
Xiang Yongde also said: "Yes, Ye Qing is indeed an excellent kid."
"But such an outstanding person is staying on our island. It's a bit of a waste of talent."
"Young man, you should go out and try your luck."
When everyone heard this, they nodded.
That makes sense.
That makes a lot of sense.
Some people narrowed their eyes, thinking that Xiang Yongde said this to tell Ye Qing to get out of Longwei Island as soon as possible.
Ye Qing said: "I have social anxiety and can't adapt to the unfamiliar environment outside, so I returned to my hometown after graduating from university."
"I don't plan to go out anymore."
"Besides, it's not that easy to make a living out there. Instead of struggling for decades and getting bruised and bloodied, and finally returning home, it's better to avoid taking decades of detours now."
Social phobia?
When Xiang Yongde heard this, he was so angry that he almost wanted to curse. You said you have social anxiety, but I think it’s because returning to your hometown that he is panicking.
During this period, he hardly had a good night's sleep because of Ye Qing!
If this continues, it is hard to say whether Ye Qing has social anxiety disorder or not. He is almost suffering from Ye Qing phobia.
Not going out?
good.
Then I will make sure you can’t survive in your hometown and force you to leave!
Xiang Yongde was furious in his heart, but he said, "It's said that the city has many traps, and there are also many pitfalls in the countryside. Young people should still listen to advice."
Not listening to advice.
That's a dead end.
Yu Yongyuan said with a smile: "Brother Xiang, with you helping to lead the way, no matter how deep the pit is, we can get through it."
"We can't push such an outstanding young man away. We have to find a way to keep him."
"I heard that you and Ye Qing..."
Xiang Yongde interrupted and asked, "Old Yu, let's stop chatting. Have you ordered the food?"
The food hasn't been served yet, and we're already talking about such an in-depth topic. If we end up having a bad time talking, how can we enjoy the food and drinks then?
Although Yu Yongyuan is capable and has been promoted to higher and higher positions, he is still not good at dealing with people and the ways of the world.
Yu Yongyuan smiled and said, "Just waiting for brother to order."
Xiang Yongde was not polite and ordered a lot of dishes. He knew that Yu Yongyuan would not eat and drink with public funds, so he had to spend a lot of money.
After ordering the dishes, Yu Yongyuan tried his best to find topics to get Ye Qing and Yu Yongyuan chatting.
But Ye Qing and Yu Yongyuan's reactions were very indifferent, which made Yu Yongyuan feel a little overwhelmed.
It was Shen Ninglu who took the initiative to talk about the road construction in Nancun. Xiang Yongde was the general manager of this matter, and Deng Jiancheng was considered his achievement. Xiang Yongde talked a lot more.
This road concerns everyone in Nancun, so Ye Qing also said a few more words.
Yu Yongyuan breathed a sigh of relief only after the dishes came up. He was really not good at this. If there were no cement road, he would have faced the embarrassment of a cold reception.
After half an hour of eating and drinking, the atmosphere became much more lively and everyone started toasting each other.
Except for the beginning when everyone toasted Yu Yongyuan, later on, almost everyone surrounded Xiang Yongde.
This is very realistic!
As the saying goes, the county magistrate is not as good as the current manager. Yu Yongyuan was very worried that after he left, Xiang Yongde would have absolute control over Longwei Island and would make things difficult for Shen Ninglu and Ye Qing.
So he specially set up this game in the hope of easing the conflict.
He picked up the wine glass, clinked glasses with Xiang Yongde and Ye Qing, and said some polite words, meaning that they should put aside their past grudges.
Xiang Yongde put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "Old Yu, you understand me too."
"I'm a very picky person."
"I can't tolerate any grain of sand in my eyes."
"I can let go of the past for your sake, but if Ye Qing makes me unhappy again in the future, I will definitely deal with him."
After saying that, he looked at Ye Qing with a playful expression.
After hearing this, Yu Yongyuan, Ye Qing and Shen Ninglu fell silent.
Xiang Yongde's words were very straightforward, and it was no exaggeration to say that they were a threat.
Shen Ninglu smoothed things over and said, "Eat food, eat food."
"Don't just talk."
"Director Xiang, if Ye Qing makes you unhappy, come to me. As the village chief, I will not tolerate it."
Xiang Yongde just smiled and didn't say anything.
At this time.
There was a knock on the box door, and then it was pushed open from the outside. Big Gold Tooth Smiling walked in with a Maotai in one hand and a wine glass in the other.
He greeted me and said what a coincidence, he was also drinking there and came over to toast me with two glasses of wine.
Xiang Yongde stood up to greet him.
Xiang Yongde introduced him: "This is a well-known entrepreneur in our town."
"Let's have a drink together."
No one refused to give face and everyone raised their glasses.
Ye Qing and Shen Ninglu did not move.
Xiang Yongde looked over and said, "Ye Qing, are you so disrespectful?"
"If you continue like this, I'm sure Village Chief Xiao Shen will have to clean up your mess in the future."
Unable to let Ye Qing speak, Da Jin Ya said, "Director Xiang, Ye Qing and I have a little conflict."
"A few days ago, I fell into the sea, and Ye Qing just watched me die without helping me."
"It's nothing if you don't drink with me."
"I won't argue with him."
Xiang Yongde was horrified. "What? There's actually such a thing. It's against the rules to ignore someone in distress at sea."
"The fact that you don't care shows that you are very broad-minded, but now that I know about it, I have to take care of it."
"Let's do this."
"Since you happened to meet Ye Qing, you should stand up and toast Da Jin Ya, and forget about this matter."
