Chapter 687: Chapter 687

"Alright."

Song Guanchao opened his mouth, and only then did these second-generation descendants stop.

Chen Bolli and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Song Guanchao smiled and said, "Since you’re here, why not stay for a simple dinner tonight."

If Chen Bolli and the others were tactless, it would have only been a small hassle for Song Guanchao even if a conflict had erupted just now.

But they were all smart people, knowing they couldn’t outmaneuver Song Guanchao, so they all bowed their heads.

Song Guanchao didn’t exploit their admitting fault.

Moreover, he also had to consider Lin Wanqiu’s family situation.

Since their attitude in admitting fault was good, Song Guanchao didn’t make things hard for them.

"Then it’s better to accept respectfully than decline courteously."

Chen Bolli said, "In a while, I’ll have my son drink a few toasts in punishment!"

Song Guanchao chatted with them, showing no trace of the tension from a moment ago.

Chen Bolli and the others were also secretly shocked by Song Guanchao’s natural shift in demeanor.

They initially thought the other party was arrogant, but upon closer look, they realized he understood the political game quite well.

Previously arrogant because he was ready to flip the table.

But now that the conflict was resolved, he presented a harmonious face.

Even though they had been in politics for a long time, they were still somewhat in awe of Song Guanchao’s quick change of face.

This is what a truly ruthless person is.

If he decides to deal with you, he leaves no room.

If not, he leaves you no complaints either.

"Huh, why is Mr. Xiao still here?"

Song Guanchao asked, as if just noticing the Xiao Family, making them extremely embarrassed.

Of course, they didn’t want to leave.

Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao already regretted agreeing with Lin Wanqiu.

With a forced smile, Mrs. Xiao approached Lin Wanqiu, trying to grab her hand, but Lin Wanqiu avoided it.

Not embarrassed, Mrs. Xiao said, "Wanqiu, since you need to entertain guests later, you and Xiao Zheng should go buy some bottles of wine."

Lin Wanqiu was about to correct her address when Zhang Shian, who had arrived earlier, said, "Huh, I remember Miss Lin and Xiao Zheng are no longer involved, right?"

Mrs. Xiao’s face froze, and she immediately said, "It’s normal for young people to have some conflicts..."

Lin Shize said, "Since it’s agreed to separate, there shouldn’t be any further contact."

After this incident, Lin Shize had also come to terms.

In the past, considering long-term benefits, they chose the Xiao Family for their daughter.

But now it seemed, the Xiao Family was not a suitable match.

Moreover, their daughter herself was unwilling.

Therefore, they didn’t force it.

Mrs. Xiao still wanted to speak, but Mr. Xiao said, "Old Lin, we won’t bother you tonight, we’ll leave now and meet again another day."

After speaking, he gave his wife a look, and they quickly left.

All of the Xiao Family’s relatives followed them out, dejected.

It was only after leaving the Lin family’s villa that Mrs. Xiao dared to speak loudly.

"Hmph! Do you really think I wanted my son to marry his daughter that much? It wasn’t thanks to anyone else that this ended."

"Isn’t it just selling off one’s daughter?"

"God-sister, god-brother, hmph!"

"Keep your voice down," Mr. Xiao scolded softly.

He had just been greatly shaken.

Although he deeply regretted it, he knew it was too late to turn back.

In the past, their Xiao Family and the Lin Family were well-matched.

But after today, the Xiao Family could no longer catch up.

Lin Shize’s daughter had become involved with a man of great influence, and if nothing unexpected happened, the Lin Family would develop rapidly in the coming years.

The gap between them would only widen!

...

After the Xiao Family left, Song Guanchao said, "Uncle Lin, I have another dinner tonight and really can’t stay, please take good care of Director Li and the others."

Lin Shize had just begun interacting with this young man and was still completely unfamiliar with him.

The interaction felt strange.

However, he sensed a very sincere attitude from this young man.

"Leave it to me, you go ahead with your matters."

Lin Shize said, "When you’re done, come over to our home when you have the time, I’ll have your aunt cook for you."

"Alright."

Song Guanchao said, "Additionally, there’s one more thing."

"What is it?"

"I’d like to borrow someone from Uncle Lin."

"Borrow someone?"

"Yes," Song Guanchao said, "Let Sister Wanqiu come with me."

"This..." Lin Shize hesitated a bit.

After all, they were entertaining so many important guests.

People clearly came because of Song Guanchao.

Saying that Song Guanchao was leaving didn’t matter, and no one would say anything.

But with Lin Wanqiu and Song Guanchao being so close, and if she wasn’t here, it wouldn’t make sense.

He felt a bit troubled, and Chen Bolli and others were slightly dissatisfied.

They felt Song Guanchao was a bit disrespectful to them.

At this moment, Jiang Wangshan suddenly said, "Uncle Lin, let Wanqiu go along. Wanqiu is a lady, she isn’t accustomed to drinking, I will accompany Mayor Chen, Chairman Zhao, and others in drinking well for you later!"

Lin Shize felt this was quite odd.

This was his family affair, why was Jiang Wangshan stepping in to make decisions for him?

But he couldn’t refute him either.

So, he nodded and agreed.

Song Guanchao said, "Sis, want to change into some fresh clothes?"

Her collar was all wet with tears.

"Okay, then wait for me for a moment."

Lin Wanqiu blushed slightly, a rare sight, before quickly going inside.

Soon, she returned in a simple outfit.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Song Guanchao took Lin Wanqiu with him and left.

Just as Lin Wanqiu left, Jiang Wangshan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Uncle Lin, it’s a good thing you didn’t stop her just now."

Lin Shize was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Seeing everyone looking at himself, Jiang Wangshan deliberately kept them in suspense, "Do you know who Secretary Song is having dinner with tonight?"

With these words, everyone became curious.

They really hadn’t thought about this question.

But now that he mentioned it, everyone realized that Song Guanchao’s dinner tonight must be significant.

"With whom?"

Jiang Wangshan sipped some tea, moistened his throat, and only after whetting everyone’s appetite did he say, "Minister Tang!"

"Minister Tang?"

At this title, everyone momentarily couldn’t pin it down.

Which Minister Tang?

Minister of which department?

After all, such a title was quite broad.

Faced with everyone’s perplexed expressions, Jiang Wangshan enjoyed it immensely.

He leisurely said, "Minister Tang of the Ministry of Public Security."

As the words fell, he saw the confusion leave their faces.

A look of shock gradually spread across their faces, eyes filled with disbelief.

This filled Jiang Wangshan with even more pleasure than their earlier confusion.

As if he were the one going to dine with Minister Tang.

Chen Bolli breathed out lightly.

Behind Song Guanchao was Minister Tang!

The head of the Ministry of Public Security!

Xu Zi and Zhang Shian were also utterly shocked upon hearing this news.

This was far beyond their expectations.

Chen Bolli asked, "Xiao Jiang, what’s the relationship between Mr. Song and Minister Tang, do you know?"

Jiang Wangshan nodded, then shook his head: "I know, but I’m bound by confidentiality regulations and cannot say."

"I can only advise all of you, don’t provoke Secretary Song."

"If he wants to destroy you, it’s easier than crushing an ant."

"His identity and resources are beyond your imagination!"
