Chapter 272 Attending the Banquet
At night, the Huang family mansion was brightly lit.
The county party secretary's special car entered the spacious inner residence unimpeded.
Qi Tongwei took the opportunity to observe the layout of the Huang family mansion. There was a huge wall enclosing a large area of land.
Two buildings of more than ten stories high stand on the left and right like two sharp swords, decorated with pavilions and waterside terraces.
Chen Xin sighed: "Secretary Qi, these were all built with the Huang family's illegal gains, and they are full of blood."
He pointed to a building on the right and said, "That's where Huang Hongfa built it specifically for his subordinates to live. They protect their dark empire day and night."
Qi Tongwei waved his hand to interrupt the other party, "You forgot what I told you.
This time we are here to negotiate. I can't handle the past. I just hope that the Huang family can be more peaceful in the future."
Even though Chen Xin's status was already [following the lead], Qi Tongwei still spoke and acted with caution.
Having seen so many undercover films in the past life, Qi Tongwei would not have absolute trust in someone unless he was like Zhang Xiaojun, who signed in with the sign of "obey orders and follow orders."
When he arrived at the door, Qi Tongwei saw Huang Yingxiang standing at the door waiting with a cane and a young man. The young man was Huang Hongfa.
As soon as the car stopped, Huang Hongfa rushed up and opened the back door.
Unfortunately, the person sitting on the right was Chen Xin.
Huang Hongfa was also stunned. Chen Xin looked at his stunned expression and suddenly felt that the resentment he had felt for three years was relieved. "Boss Huang, we meet again. Thank you for opening the door for me."
He got out of the car with a smug look on his face.
During these three years, Chen Xin couldn't sleep well every day. Not only were his wife and children sent to Jingzhou, but he also carried a gun with him for fear that he would be secretly killed by the Huang family.
Now I can really breathe a sigh of relief.
"Fuck, you dare to come to me? This time I will make sure you never come back." Huang Hong said angrily.
At this time, Qi Tongwei got out of the car from the other side and said calmly, "Who can go without returning?"
Huang Yingxiang hadn't expected Qi Tongwei to bring Chen Xin with him, so he reacted immediately, shouted back the furious Huang Hongfa, walked down the steps and extended his hand to Qi Tongwei, "Oh, Secretary Qi, welcome, welcome. Please forgive my son for being naive."
Qi Tongwei also trotted forward and shook Huang Yingxiang's hand, showing respect for the old comrade, "Mr. Huang, I didn't bring any gifts this time.
I brought Chen Xin here. I know you have some conflicts with Chen Xin.
I brought him here this time specifically to reconcile us, and I hope you won't mind."
Huang Yingxiang's face twitched slightly, but he forced a smile. "How could it be? I didn't expect that such a trivial matter of ours would alarm you. Since you're here to mediate, I, Huang Yingxiang, say that we'll all be friends from now on."
Then he said to Huang Hongfa: "Red Hair, why don't you invite Director Chen in."
Facing his father's eye signal, Huang Hongfa had to suppress the anger in his heart, stretched out his hand, and said in a muffled voice: "Director Chen, I was young and ignorant before, I hope you will forgive me."
Seeing that Chen Xin didn't respond, Qi Tongwei's face darkened and he directly said, "Chen Xin."
Only then did Chen Xin reluctantly shake hands with Huang Hongfa.
Qi Tongwei put on his smile again, "Mr. Huang, everyone is happy now.
One of you is an excellent police chief in our county, and the other is an outstanding entrepreneur in the county. It is really inappropriate for you to be incompatible with each other.
Tonight, with your wine, let's all get drunk. All the past events will be buried in our stomachs and no one can talk about them again."
Huang Yingxiang clapped his hands and laughed, "Great, great! Today is really a double blessing. Not only did the distinguished guests come to visit, but I also got to clear up the misunderstanding with Director Chen. Great, great, great."
Qi Tongwei said, "Mr. Huang, what do you think? Is this gift suitable?"
"That's perfect." Huang Yingxiang's eyelids twitched again, and he said with a smile, "Come, come, two distinguished guests, please come in."
When you enter the Huang family, the weight of history hits you.
Qi Tongwei felt that he had underestimated this person.
The magnificent circular hall was filled with various antique calligraphy and paintings. Even though Qi Tongwei didn't understand these, he could feel that they were of great value.
Noticing Qi Tongwei's gaze, Huang Yingxiang became interested. "Secretary Qi, do you also know about antiques?"
Qi Tongwei waved his hand and said, "I don't quite understand. To be honest with Mr. Huang, I was born poor, and antiques only exist in books."
Huang Yingxiang, however, heard something different, "Secretary Qi, please don't be offended by my acting like an old man.
This is the first time I've seen someone as young as you become the county party secretary in charge of a region. You certainly have a bright future ahead of you."
"Mr. Huang, thank you for your praise."
"So, we still need to understand these antique calligraphy and paintings better so that we can have a common language. I'll give you a few pieces later, and you can take them home and study them slowly."
Qi Tongwei quickly refused, "How can this be possible? I can see that the things here must be your favorites, Mr. Huang. I can't take away what others love."
Seeing that Qi Tongwei did not refuse with expensive reasons, Huang Yingxiang's thoughts were further confirmed.
"Secretary Qi, please don't refuse. The things hanging in this hall are very ordinary. They are mainly for decoration, or when you meet good friends who like these things like you. Besides, you brought Director Chen's kindness to our Huang family today. This is the greatest gift.
How could we not know the etiquette? Just consider it our return gift." Huang Yingxiang waved his hand, and immediately someone ran to get the paintings and antiques.
Qi Tongwei laughed heartily, "Mr. Huang, you are so polite, so polite. What can I say to you, this junior? I will learn from you and will definitely send it back to you when the time comes."
Huang Yingxiang understood tacitly, "Okay, take your time, I'm not in a hurry."
……
Guo Xiangli's private villa.
Chen Daming called again, revealing Qi Tongwei's whereabouts, and cautiously said, "Leader, Qi Tongwei took Chen Xin to Huang Yingxiang's house. Will he reach any conditions with the Huang family?"
Guo Xiangli gradually began to have a bad feeling in his heart.
Although he holds six votes, the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission and the Minister of Propaganda were both supported by the Huang family.
If the two of them sided with Qi Tongwei, he would be in trouble.
Sighing secretly, Guo Xiangli instructed, "Continue to observe and notify me after Qi Tongwei leaves."
……
The group took their seats.
A dozen young and beautiful girls in cheongsams took turns bringing dishes and placing them in front of everyone.
Qi Tongwei took a look at the dishes on the table and was stunned. "Oh, Mr. Huang, you really...really made it too grand."
In addition to the normal seafood on the table, there are also seafood with scales and feathers.
Although they were cleaned up, Qi Tongwei had seen these things many times in Guying Town.
Qi Tongwei said, "Mr. Huang, there are three or four rare animals protected by the state on your table. Isn't this making me make a mistake?"
Huang Yingxiang laughed and said, "These were collected at home before 1988. This law didn't exist at that time, so they don't count."
Looking at the fresh pangolin meat on the table, Qi Tongwei did not expose the other party. He picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece, and started eating.
"Well, yes, it has been there for some years."
Huang Yingxiang's smile widened.
Chen Xin's face turned even darker. If Qi Tongwei hadn't warned him so many times when he came, he would have arrested him on the spot.
Eating protected animals, this alone is enough to put the father and son in big trouble.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the banquet gradually entered a mellow state. The old and the young were like close friends regardless of age, and they were just short of sworn brotherhood.
