At the same time, Minister Zhang walked over quietly and stood next to Qin Zi'an without saying a word.
Seeing Minister Zhang's ashen face, Qin Zi'an guessed that he was in a bad mood.
However, Qin Zian didn't dwell on it. Instead, he looked down at his phone and occasionally replied to a friend's concerned message.
Seeing Qin Zi'an's indifferent attitude, Minister Zhang's anger only intensified.
Minister Zhang was already quite annoyed, feeling that Qin Zi'an had abducted his daughter.
Even though she had been standing next to him for so long, Qin Zian was still just looking down at his phone.
What does this look like?
Minister Zhang pursed his lips and asked in a cold voice, "Qin Zi'an, when are you leaving?"
"In the next couple of days, I guess." Qin Zi'an paused, then added, "It seems like you don't have anything else to do here, so I'll leave tomorrow morning and check out the plane tickets."
Qin Zian acted immediately, opening the website for booking airline tickets and starting to search for flights from Fujian to Yuzhou.
Upon seeing this scene, Minister Zhang felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy.
He didn't want Qin Zian to leave Fujian; it was an old father's warning to the young man with the will-o'-the-wisp.
But Minister Zhang never expected that Qin Zi'an wasn't afraid at all, and even picked up his phone to book a ticket.
Minister Zhang immediately snatched Qin Zi'an's phone away and gave a cold snort.
"Why did you book these tickets? It makes me feel like I'm just using you as a tool, something to throw away after I'm done with you."
Qin Zian laughed heartily, amused by Minister Zhang's awkward appearance.
He naturally knew that Minister Zhang meant no harm.
When Qin Zi'an was clearing unread messages on his phone, he also saw several messages sent to him by Minister Zhang.
It was simply a matter of telling Qin Zi'an in a righteous and stern manner that becoming his son-in-law was not an easy thing, and reminding him to pay attention to the proper boundaries in his interactions with women.
Minister Zhang's words implied that Qin Zi'an should keep his distance from Zhang Yiyi and focus solely on protecting his daughter.
Qin Zi'an understood why Minister Zhang was such a doting father.
If Qin Zian has a daughter in the future, he will definitely keep those men out of the house.
Putting aside the fact that Qin Zi'an didn't develop any romantic feelings for Zhang Yiyi, even if he did have some affection for her, he wouldn't make a move on her.
The reason is simple: they are not suitable for each other.
Incompatible personalities, incompatible family backgrounds, incompatible in every way.
Ultimately, it's because they don't like it, or because they haven't had enough fun.
Therefore, Qin Zi'an patted Minister Zhang on the shoulder, giving him a sense of reassurance.
"Old Zhang, you're being way too narrow-minded. Don't you even think about why I came out with Zhang Yiyi, and why it caused so many misunderstandings?"
"Why?" Minister Zhang asked.
"Of course it's because you were drunk and deserted."
"Being drunk is one thing, but what do you mean by deserter?" Minister Zhang frowned and said irritably, "Don't even think about slandering me!"
"You didn't even participate in the special forces program you yourself devised. What is this if not desertion?"
After Qin Zi'an said that, Minister Zhang was speechless.
Minister Zhang also knew that Qin Zi'an was quick-witted and that he couldn't win an argument with him.
In addition, Minister Zhang felt he had lost face because he couldn't outdrink Qin Zi'an last night.
Therefore, Minister Zhang decided to regain his face and teach Qin Zi'an a lesson.
"Zian, don't give me that nonsense. I've been too tired lately, which is why I didn't perform well. Besides, drinking with those two isn't very interesting. There's a family dinner later, come with me for a drink, I don't believe you can get out of there."
Upon hearing Minister Zhang's boastful words, Qin Zi'an's face broke into a bright smile.
You should know that Qin Zian has hangover cures provided by the system.
If taken before drinking, you will be able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, and drinking alcohol will be as easy as drinking water.
Minister Zhang's open challenge to a drinking contest with Qin Zi'an is bound to result in a crushing defeat.
Although he already knew the outcome, Qin Zian did not utter those boastful words.
Everything can only be truly understood at the dinner table.
And so, Minister Zhang took Qin Zi'an to the family banquet and formally introduced Qin Zi'an to his family.
At the dinner table, Zhang's relatives were very hospitable, constantly serving Qin Zi'an food and toasting him.
Qin Zian accepted all comers without any fear.
As expected, Qin Zi'an single-handedly got everyone drunk and remained remarkably clear-headed.
On the contrary, the drunkards were already somewhat out of their minds, and several of them even started to act crazy while drunk.
Seeing the chaotic scene of the demons dancing wildly, Qin Zian did not linger and went out to the courtyard to get some fresh air.
But before Qin Zian had taken two steps, he felt a weight on his shoulder.
Looking back, I saw Minister Zhang's big face.
However, unlike the others, Minister Zhang did not appear to be a drunkard who had passed out at the dinner table; on the contrary, he seemed very sober.
"Zian, you really know how to hold your liquor! You've managed to get all my relatives, who can drink a lot, drunk!"
"Old Zhang, you're quite skilled at escaping drinking. At your age, you're still doing these sneaky and dishonest things."
Upon hearing Qin Zian's complaint, Minister Zhang couldn't help but touch his nose guiltily.
Having learned his lesson, Minister Zhang, who just returned from a hangover, certainly wouldn't go down that path again.
After all, it was a rare holiday, and Minister Zhang hoped to spend more time with his wife and children.
"Oh! That's all in the past, let's not talk about it anymore." Minister Zhang smiled and said earnestly, "You've worked hard these past few days, let's go to the resort together tomorrow. Besides my family, a few colleagues will also be bringing their families."
"No, no! I've had enough fun in Fujian, it's time for me to go back to work."
Upon hearing Qin Zian's speculation, Minister Zhang's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
It wasn't that Minister Zhang had any objection to Qin Zi'an's excuses, but rather that he felt Qin was a workaholic who didn't give himself enough time to rest.
That's why Minister Zhang wanted to invite Qin Zi'an to go on vacation together so that he could relax and unwind.
Besides that, there is an even more important reason...
