Tang Siming laughed when he heard him say that:
"Brother-in-law, I treated you to a meal and you made it sound like a crime, and even said it made you unable to concentrate on your work."
Let's make this clear beforehand: if anything goes wrong at work, don't blame it on me.
Qin Tian laughed heartily and said:
"You, Mr. Tang, are you afraid I'll renege on my promise? Don't worry, just enjoy your meal today."
"We need to get some drinks. If something goes wrong, and I can't stay in the police station, I'll work as a security guard at your company."
"Oh dear, alright, alright, brother-in-law, what are you trying to do, coming here as the deputy captain of the city's public security brigade to work as a security guard at my company?"
"Are you trying to sabotage me and slap me in the face? That's not fair; you'll have to drink a penalty shot tonight."
"Alright, then I'll drink the penalty shot."
Qin Tian was quite happy.
Zhang Lan, who was chatting with Dong Xiaolu, heard her husband talking about alcohol and chimed in:
"All you ever do is drink. You work so late and still ask me to cook you a couple of dishes and have a couple of drinks. Are you a reincarnated alcoholic?"
Qin Tian felt a little embarrassed after his wife said that, and could only explain:
"I'm usually busy with work and under a lot of pressure, so having a couple of drinks when I get home is a way to relax. I don't drink much and it doesn't affect my work."
Hearing his words, Zhang Lan was both amused and annoyed, but knowing that her husband's work was indeed hard, she didn't complain much, only giving a light scolding:
"You think you're right to drink? You've got the most twisted logic."
Seeing that his wife wasn't pressing him for an answer, Qin Tian asked Tang Siming what the reason was for inviting him to dinner that night.
Tang Siming smiled and looked at his wife Zhang Jie, saying:
"You'll have to ask Zhang Jie to talk to you about this. She's treating us to today's guests, and I'll pay the bill."
However, the main character is also present; it's this young man, Han Ming.
Qin Tian looked at Han Ming and found it quite strange; this young man looked to be only in his early twenties.
Tang Siming initially thought Han Ming was a business partner of Tang Siming. In this day and age, when it comes to doing business, age doesn't matter.
However, upon hearing his brother-in-law say this, he was surprised to learn that Han Ming had some connection with Zhang Jie, so he simply looked at Zhang Jie.
Zhang Lan, standing beside her, also looked at her younger sister with curiosity, wanting to hear what the reason was.
Zhang Jie then recounted Han Ming's act of bravery in Nanzhu County a few days ago, proving her excellent eloquence befitting an office director in the government.
The story of Han Ming and Zhuang Yan is vividly portrayed, full of twists and turns, and captivating.
Even Han Ming, the protagonist of the incident, had a strange feeling after hearing it, as if the protagonist's image was too lofty and imposing, somewhat out of place with himself.
The two young men in Zhang Jie's story were truly rare heroes who stood up for justice. Despite the many indifferent onlookers, not a single person dared to lend a helping hand.
Watching an old man and a wailing little boy being tortured by evil forces, they trembled like two lambs to the slaughter.
At that critical moment, our great Han Ming and Zhuang Yan, whom we had yet to meet, appeared. They fought off the three thugs and took them to the police station.
Faced with the old woman's gratitude, they insisted that it was what they should do. What noble sentiments and what a radiant character they possessed!
Zhang Jie's narration was truly captivating, and everyone listened intently. Finally, Qin Tian slammed his hand on the table, startling everyone.
It turned out that Qin Tian had become interested in what he was hearing and, fueled by the alcohol, wanted to have three drinks with Han Ming to express his gratitude.
After all, the person Han Ming helped was his mother-in-law, and the other person was his nephew.
Looking at the table, Qin Tian didn't find any wine bottles, so he slammed his hand on the table and was about to call the waiter to bring more wine.
Unexpectedly, this interrupted the group of people who were engrossed in the story.
Upon hearing that Qin Tian was going to offer a toast, Tang Siming and the others became quite enthusiastic, repeatedly agreeing and quickly calling the waiter to bring in the wine.
The men were drinking baijiu (Chinese white liquor), but Dong Xiaolu was persuaded by the two ladies to also drink red wine. After a few drinks, the atmosphere in the private room became even more lively.
With Zhang Jie's help, Han Ming also explained his story about starting a game company.
Tang Siming must have received his wife's advance notice and fully understood her intention in inviting him to the dinner party that evening.
Hearing Han Ming talk about operating a game, they became quite interested and started discussing it together.
When it comes to network servers, he confidently stated that game servers could be placed in his data center with significant discounts and top-notch service.
Han Ming was waiting for this sentence. Originally, he had to put in some effort to find a company with a reasonable scale and service price to host the game server.
Now, when people hear that Tang Siming's company is Datang Data, the well-known industry leader in Dongning City, they immediately think of it.
Plus, since Mr. Tang himself said he could offer a discounted price, this is truly a windfall.
He quickly filled his glass with wine and toasted Tang Siming to express his gratitude.
Tang Siming was also a frequent guest at the dinner table, and he accepted all invitations. The two of them lightly touched hands and drank in one gulp.
Seeing Han Ming chatting and drinking so enthusiastically with his brother-in-law, Qin Tian felt a bit bored drinking alone, so he asked Han Ming about his family situation.
He had just heard his wife's younger sister say that Han Ming was from Xiaqiao Town, Nanzhu County, and he remembered that he knew someone there who also had the surname Han.
So he tentatively asked Han Ming to see if Han Ming knew that person.
"Han Baili?"
When Han Ming heard that the person Qin Tian was asking about was actually his father, he was quite surprised, but he still nodded in response:
That's my dad.
"Oh? Really? You're Old Han's son?"
Qin Tian truly hadn't expected that his casual question would lead to such a surprising result. He continued with a smile:
"Haha, it seems we really are all on the same side now."
"How did Brother Qin meet my dad?"
Han Ming found it strange. His father had never mentioned having a police friend in Dongning before. Judging from their ages, there was a significant age gap between them, so they shouldn't be comrades-in-arms.
"Haha, your dad? To tell you how we met, we have to go back more than ten years."
Qin Tian took a sip of wine and started talking.
It turns out that more than a decade ago, Qin Tian, who had just joined the police force, was a passionate and energetic young man.
Dressed in a police uniform, he was imposing and took it upon himself to fight crime and maintain order. Once, while on official business in the county, he encountered a group of swindlers on a long-distance bus.
A few shrewish guys placed a cardboard box on the seat with three small wine cups on it, each with a golden bean upside down.
By constantly changing the position of the wine cups, the game makes people guess which cup the golden bean is under in the end.
Each guess only costs ten or twenty yuan, and the person who guesses correctly gets all the gold beans. It seems quite tempting to win big with a small amount of money.
