Chapter 661: Smoke Rising from the Lin Family’s Ancestral Grave
Secretary Ye smiled modestly: "Thank you for the invitation. I still have some official business to attend to. Let's have dinner together next time if we have time."
"Then I'll take you there."
Lin Qingqing politely and graciously sent the person to the gate of the courtyard. After watching the car turn and drive away, she turned around and came back.
As soon as she turned around and walked back, she saw the yard. Several men from the Song family were sitting on the bluestone slabs beside her, looking at her with smiles on their faces.
The Song family members received the notice of Lin Qingqing's promotion to lieutenant general, but Lin Qingqing herself did not say anything, and they just whispered about it.
When Lin Qingqing saw the usually steady men of the Song family, her smile disappeared, and it was obvious that they all knew.
She walked to the bluestone slab and said to Grandpa Song subtly, "Grandpa, Lord Zhang has promoted me to Lieutenant General."
The always dignified Marshal Song remained calm upon seeing Lin Qingqing's promotion. He looked at Lin Qingqing with a look of satisfaction and said, "Good, good, keep up the good work in the future. But I do have a few words to say. Even in the wartime era, it's difficult to get promoted to the next rank. And you only took a year to go from colonel to lieutenant general. It's inevitable that some people will be jealous. It's right for you to keep a low profile. In short, keep a low profile in all aspects. After all, your foundation is still unstable."
"Congratulations, brother and sister."
"Congratulations, fourth brother and sister-in-law."
Song Yunhui and Song Yunhai immediately congratulated in unison.
Their sister-in-law has really brought honor to the Song family. The youngest lieutenant general in the country is their sister-in-law, which is very impressive to tell others about it.
"Little sister got promoted again?"
After listening to Grandpa Song's words, Lin Baojun asked happily.
Song Yiyuan nodded.
"Brother, Qingqing is now a lieutenant general."
After hearing the news, the Lin brothers were all excited and their faces flushed.
They couldn't tell the difference between lieutenant general and general, but moving up one level meant that one's rank was getting higher and higher.
Father Lin, who was squatting at the foot of the wall and smoking his pipe, thought he had misheard, so he staggered to his feet and walked towards this side in a daze as if he was drunk.
How long has it been since you got promoted?
His daughter hasn't done anything big recently, she just went out a while ago.
Lin Guosheng had a loud voice and he shouted directly: "Dad, my little sister got promoted again."
"Pah~"
Father Lin's legs went weak and he stumbled and fell directly to the ground.
Lin Baojun took two big strides over and hurriedly helped the man up.
Lin Zhiqing also ran over.
"Dad, how are you feeling?"
Lin Baojun asked nervously.
Lin Qingqing also walked down carrying the child, fearing that he would fall and get hurt.
Father Lin shook his head.
He was supported by his two sons as he walked onto the bluestone slabs, but he stared at Lin Qingqing without blinking.
"Nier, you've been promoted again. How high of a rank is that lieutenant general?"
He didn't know what military position was, so he could only ask this.
Lin Qingqing stepped onto the bluestone slab and said, "It's equivalent to a provincial governor."
As soon as she finished speaking, Father Lin's body collapsed again.
Lin Baojun's legs went weak, and he and his father almost fell forward with this stumble.
They all knew that Lin Qingqing was an official, but they never knew he was such a high-ranking official.
Governor?!
What a high-ranking official this must be!
In my hometown, a mayor has so much power that he can cover the sky with one hand. They can’t even count on their fingers how many levels higher the governor is than the mayor.
"The ancestral tomb is smoking. The ancestral tomb is smoking."
