Chapter 282: Chapter 282 Qiu Fang’s Relatives

The dinner party in the evening was organized by Qiu Fang, and after receiving a phone call, Ji Yang stepped out from the Party School.

By the time he got outside, Qiu Fang was already waiting there, along with a driver in a car.

"Get in the car."

Qiu Fang said with a smile.

It was only after Ji Yang got into the car that he remembered his own driver was still in Qingyuan Village. He wondered if he should call his own driver over.

However, Ji Yang quickly realized that would be somewhat difficult—since Qiu Fang and the others held office, they naturally could summon drivers and the like. As for him, he had completely stepped down from the deputy county chief position, effectively a person awaiting a new assignment. Asking a driver to come here to serve him was truly going to be hard.

Forget it!

After thinking for a while, Ji Yang simply stopped pondering over it.

The car quickly reached a hotel that appeared to be quite upscale.

"This is a hotel established by our Jinyin City," Qiu Fang began to explain.

Ji Yang said, "Your city really knows how to do business; this hotel seems to have made quite a profit."

Qiu Fang then laughed, "I’ve long heard that County Chief Ji is a person who knows how to make money. We haven’t made as much as you."

So they’ve investigated me?

Ji Yang didn’t believe the other party hadn’t looked into his background.

After parking the car, the two got out and walked inside.

The staff, upon seeing Qiu Fang’s arrival, all showed a high degree of respect.

At that moment, a young woman hurried over and said to Qiu Fang, "Sis, you’ve arrived?"

When she looked up, she was startled, having not expected to run into someone familiar—it was Qiu Ling.

Qiu Ling was also surprised; she hadn’t expected that the guest her cousin had invited was Ji Yang.

"Ji Yang!"

"Qiu Ling, do you work here?"

"You know each other? Right, Qiu Ling also came back from Qingyuan Village; no wonder you know each other. I had forgotten about that," Qiu Fang said, somewhat surprised at this point.

Ji Yang said, "After Qiu left Heshan County, there was no more news. I didn’t expect you to have developed your career in the provincial capital."

Qiu Ling just gave a bitter smile and said, "You know my situation. After certain events, I couldn’t stay in Heshan County any longer. I had no choice but to leave, and when my cousin found out about my situation, she helped me find work here."

Ji Yang then looked towards Qiu Fang.

Qiu Fang smiled and said, "Since you’re old colleagues, that makes things much easier. You can communicate more."

For Qiu Fang, this was a welcome development. She realized that the relationship between her cousin and Ji Yang was quite good.

"Sis, a few of your classmates have already arrived," Qiu Ling mentioned.

Qiu Fang said, "Alright, you two should exchange contact information and keep in touch. Today is a reunion for classmates; let’s go in."

After chatting with Qiu Ling for a bit more, Ji Yang entered with Qiu Fang.

Qiu Ling was somewhat taken aback, not expecting Ji Yang to have contacts with her cousin and even to be classmates.

She was aware of the advanced training class her cousin had participated in. An ordinary person would have no chance of joining such a class, and now Ji Yang could join it, which clearly demonstrated that Ji Yang’s advancement in his career was swift.

Meanwhile, Ji Yang began to reflect on Qiu Ling’s past, but as he hadn’t delved too deeply into it, he wasn’t aware of the specifics. There were several rumors. When he thought about the ambiguous relationship he had had with Qiu Ling, Ji Yang couldn’t help but shake his head.

This woman seemed to have changed somewhat, becoming shrewder and more capable of handling affairs.

While lost in thought, the two had already entered a private room.

At this point, several people were already inside playing mahjong, with a few others standing by watching the game.

Upon entering, Qiu Fang loudly said, "Sorry to have kept everyone waiting."

"Group Leader Qiu, you made the call, yet we were the ones who arrived early," said an official with the rank of deputy city level from Group Three. Ji Yang remembered him as Wei Xuming, a leader in the provincial Development and Reform Commission.

Qiu Fang laughed, "I got held up by some matters, but wait a bit, and I’ll drink a few more glasses with you. This is Ji Yang, our classmate—everyone should recognize him."

Ji Yang hurriedly greeted everyone present.
