Bai Weiye patted Chen Ruijun's leg reassuringly from under the table.
It was impossible to tell from this situation that the teacher's wife clearly had a completely different impression of the Jiang Tiecheng in front of her.
Bai Weiye was also very surprised, never expecting that his teacher's wife's savior was actually Jiang Tiecheng.
Now I realize that I didn't see who the mechanic was that day at all, and that he was later knocked unconscious.
If it's Jiang Tiecheng, then this person is truly cunning.
Bai Weiye is not Chen Ruijun.
He remained relatively calm; the real show of force hadn't even been revealed yet.
It seems a bit early to say who won or lost.
After exchanging pleasantries, Bai Weiye immediately began arranging the menu.
The menu was prepared in advance; they had contacted Huixianlou beforehand, so there was no need to say anything, and they simply started serving the dishes according to the menu.
When Director Chen saw what was in front of him, he gave Bai Weiye a meaningful look.
Kid, not bad, you've put your brain into this. This banquet is truly a trap.
She turned her head and gave Jiang Tiecheng a quick glance.
But when Jiang Tiecheng saw the dishes being served, his expression remained unchanged, calm and composed, with a slight smile on his face.
Director Chen nodded, thinking, "He truly is someone I've taken a liking to," and lowered his voice to say.
"Xiao Jiang, have you considered the suggestion I gave you last time?"
We really are very sincere.
Our municipal bureau is just waiting for someone like you to join us. If you could join, our criminal investigation team would be like a tiger with wings.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a voice came from the doorway.
"Director Chen, that's not very fair of you. How could you try to poach our employees?"
Following this sound, Gu Tinghui and another elderly man dressed in an ordinary Zhongshan suit walked in.
Gu Tinghui helped the old man, who was in good spirits.
However, when Chen's mother and Director Chen saw the old man, their expressions changed, and they hurriedly stood up.
His expression became somewhat respectful.
"Mr. Gu, I didn't expect to see you here!"
The old man had gray hair and was leaning on a cane. When he saw them stand up, he hurriedly waved his hand.
"I'm sorry, my grandson heard you talking at the door and insisted on coming in, so I had to disturb you."
Director Chen hurriedly stepped forward.
"Mr. Gu! There's no need for me to bother you. Please take a seat."
Seeing what Director Chen and his mother had done, all the young people immediately realized that the old man in front of them was no ordinary person, and they all stood up immediately.
Mr. Gu was welcomed to the seat of honor.
The old man smiled and waved his hand.
"Sorry, I'm just joining in the fun today."
My grandson told me about a very impressive young man.
I simply couldn't resist the urge to meet this young man.
Chen's mother and Director Chen hurriedly said,
"No, no!"
"Mr. Gu, we've wanted to invite you for so long but haven't had the chance. Your presence is truly an honor to us."
Gu Tinghui grabbed Jiang Tiecheng and brought him to his grandfather.
"Grandpa, look, this is Jiang Tiecheng, the amazing mine-clearing hero I was talking about."
Jiang Tiecheng, this is my grandfather, he was a mine-clearing hero.
I heard that you led a team to clear 20,000 landmines in a month. My grandpa was really impressed. He said he didn't have that ability when he was young.
"I insisted on seeing you. I overheard you talking at the door and couldn't resist inviting the old man over."
Jiang Tiecheng hurriedly went to the old man and politely extended his hand.
"Hello, Mr. Gu."
Old Gu looked Jiang Tiecheng up and down and nodded.
"Young people, you are truly formidable."
You look like you're only 20 years old. To be able to accomplish such great things at such a young age, I truly admire you.
Keep up the good work, I really believe in you.
Without exchanging a few pleasantries, the old man immediately pulled Jiang Tiecheng aside to talk about their landmines.
The scene became somewhat awkward, with none of the younger members of the Chen family able to get a word in edgewise, while the old man held onto Jiang Tiecheng tightly and wouldn't let go.
Suddenly, the food on the table became nothing more than decoration.
Jiang Tiecheng looked around. If the conversation continued like this, it would become a little awkward, and he would be overshadowing the other person.
You have to give your mother-in-law some face, at least.
Jiang Tiecheng smiled and ended the conversation.
"Old man, look at all that you've done."
It's a good opportunity for us all to have a meal with you.
Let us, the younger generation, raise a glass to you.
As he spoke, he picked up the wine bottle and poured a glass of wine into the old man's glass, and at the same time poured a glass of wine into Chen Ruiguo's glass, and pulled Chen Ruiguo directly to the old man's side.
Chen Ruiguo was stunned for a moment.
This kid is clearly highly regarded by Elder Gu.
You should know that ordinary juniors would never get close to Elder Gu. Even if his own father came, he would stand aside and have no place to speak.
He believed that Jiang Tiecheng was aware of this principle, but he still dragged him into it.
"Mr. Gu, this is Chen Ruiguo, my girlfriend's older brother, and this is my girlfriend, Chen Ruixue."
Chen Ruixue quickly poured herself a glass of wine and raised it up.
"I've long heard of your great reputation, Mr. Gu, but I never expected to meet you in person today. Mr. Gu, my brother and I would like to offer you a toast."
This shows that Chen Ruixue and her team have seen a lot and are not intimidated at all in the face of such situations.
As long as Jiang Tiecheng gives them a way out, they can communicate with Old Master Gu without any obstacles in an instant.
Jiang Tiecheng also raised his glass.
"Mr. Gu, I'd like to toast you too."
Old Gu raised his glass with a smile.
"Okay, okay, these are all children of the Chen family, I didn't expect them to grow up so fast."
"You're such a beautiful girl, and you're really capable too. You managed to snag such a great young man right away."
Chen Ruixue blushed immediately.
She glanced at Jiang Tiecheng apologetically.
"Grandpa Gu, you don't know, I had to beg and plead to finally win over Brother Jiang."
"It took a lot of effort."
The little girl's charming coquettishness immediately drew a hearty laugh from the old man.
"Excellent, excellent, a perfect match indeed."
The old man's words brought a smile to Chen's mother's face. She hadn't expected that the famous Old Master Gu would meet Jiang Tiecheng for the first time.
He was surprisingly kind and approachable, and he gave Jiang Tiecheng so much face.
Just this attitude alone, the honor represented by this sentence is unimaginable to others. Others may not know, but how could they not know?
This made Bai Weiye and Chen Ruijun seem somewhat out of place.
Bai Weiye was a little embarrassed, and Chen Ruijun felt a little uncomfortable.
The two of them couldn't very well brazenly raise their wine glasses and go up to the old man.
But if they don't move forward, it's obvious that they'll be ostracized.
