Chapter 102: Old Xǔ, you're really hitting me in the face this time!
Just as Du Peiming entered the room accompanied by Xu Chong, the door that had just been closed by Mrs. Xu a few breaths ago creaked open again.
In an instant, those who hadn't passed by yet all stopped in their tracks again - was there someone else?
When Mrs. Xu turned around and opened the door, everyone inside the house, except for Xu Yu and Du Peiming, was stunned to see an old man standing outside the door again.
"Vice Secretary Lin? How come it's you who came?"
Who else but Lin Zhong, the provincial party committee deputy secretary in charge of all provincial party affairs, is outside the door?
But the question is, Lin Zhongyan seems to be a more impressive figure than Du Peiming. Bai Xun had met him during the day and found his attitude towards him to be slightly cold. So why would he come visiting at night?
For a moment, Xu Chong had some doubts, was this real or not? He really didn't think that his own face would be exaggerated to such an extent. But this room, it really was the Xu family's!
Indeed, whether it's Du Peiming or Lin Zhongze, coming to the Xu family is definitely a courtesy visit or looking for someone from the Xu family. Otherwise, if they were looking for Mr. He, with their temperament, it's impossible that they wouldn't even have a bit of patience. But Mr. He was just a former deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and had already retired to a second-line position...
Xu Chong was indeed a bit stunned, but his confusion grew even greater. With the identities and status of these two people, why would they take the initiative to come and visit him, this new provincial government official?
They are the real giants, each with their own enormous influence.
But no matter how shocking, Xu Chong and He surname old man, as well as Xu's mother, still hurriedly made way for Lin Zhong to enter the house.
"Hehe, Deputy Governor Du is also here." Lin Zhongze, who was standing outside the door, just smiled and nodded at Mrs. Xu, still not quite friendly towards Xu Chong.
After entering the house, he got straight to the point and quickly walked towards Xu Yu, "Mr. Xu, Zhong Ze is being presumptuous, I hope you won't mind."
Indeed, even if Xu Chong made an effort in one thing, Lin Zhong knew that as long as the relationship between Xu Yu and Xu Chong had not really improved, he would never show any friendly intentions to each other again.
In an instant, Xu Chong and his mother were stunned, and He, the old man, was completely petrified on the spot.
Everyone stared with wide eyes, looking at this scene in utter disbelief. What a joke? Lin Zhong, was he talking to Xu Yu?
Although they knew each other was definitely looking for someone from the Xu family, he actually wasn't visiting Xu Chong, but rather visiting Xu Yu?
Xu Yu
"Sit down." Seeing Lin Zhong's smiling face, Xu Yu finally understood Du Peiming's thoughts in an instant, and suddenly felt a little cry and laugh.
Even if he was dissatisfied with the Lin family before, at this moment, he still squeezed out a faint smile.
It was the same smile, but Xu Mu and several others were completely stiffened, and Xu Chong's face even had a hint of twitching. What kind of joke is this? This is Xu Yu's attitude towards Lin Zhongze?
As for the old man with the surname He, he was thoroughly stunned. This, this is that useless thing in Xu Chong's mouth, who only knows how to be deceitful and cunning every day? He really wanted to vomit blood. Can't even let the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee personally visit his home, and still not a useful person?
This is even more impressive than what Lao Tzu said!
In a daze, Du Peiming suddenly spoke up, "Hehe, Mr. Xu, this time I came to visit without your consent, if there's any impertinence, please forgive me."
"Ah-ha!"
The eyes of the three people, in an instant, followed this sentence and fell on Du Peiming's body. Oh my god, Deputy Governor Du also came to visit Xu Yu, not Xu Chong?
Even at this moment, Xu Chong was suddenly shocked and bit his teeth, aching and aching!!
It was Mrs. Xu, however, whose eyes suddenly shone with a bright light. If it were the first time, Lin Zhongze's reaction might have been due to her own eyes playing tricks on her, but now Du Peiming was doing the same... Was this really his son? So impressive! He had two provincial committee bigwigs personally pay their respects at his doorstep?
In an instant, Mrs. Xu suddenly looked at Xu Chong, and when she saw Xu Chong's violently twitching face, a strong sense of pride and satisfaction surged up in her eyes.
But when it came to Du Peiming, Xu Yu furrowed his brow again. The Lin family was nothing, but Du Peiming represented the Feng family!! If he really sat here, the meaning would be completely different.
But if he, in front of so many people, especially those who are at the same level as him, directly drives Du Peiming away, then this Deputy Governor Du will really lose face. After all, there is no grudge between him and Du Peiming.
As soon as he saw Xu Yu frowning, Du Peiming was speechless again, and then a bitter smile appeared on his face once more. Still not good?
With a sudden burst, the atmosphere in the room fell silent again.
Even more surprisingly, there were a few more gnashing sounds from the back, Du Peiming personally came to visit, and Xu Yu didn't even bother with him? Not even letting him sit down?
But Du Peiming didn't dare sit either?
This... Whether it was Xu Chong or the old man with the surname He, they both felt dizzy and their vision began to blur.
Mrs. Xu endured her dizziness and quickly walked up, standing directly behind Xu Yu, and suddenly pinched his shoulder, this kid is really too much!
It was also with this pinch that Xu Yu reluctantly shook his head and said to Du Peiming, "Sit down."
Du Peiming was overjoyed and hastily said, "Thank you, Mr. Xu."
Deep down, Du Peiming wanted to cry even more, this matter was finally an explanation to the Feng family.
Just then, outside the door, a burst of laughter was heard again. "Mr. Xu, Guotao is bothering you, forgive me!"
Xie Mu, Xie Chong and the old man with the surname He turned their stiff necks again to see who it was, only to find that it was none other than Yan Guotao, the vice provincial governor who ranked second only to Du Peiming in the provincial government.
Xu Chong, at this moment, really had a muscle cramp, and even the old man with the surname He was no exception.
But soon after Yan Guotao came in, another person walked in quickly from outside the door. As soon as that person appeared, before even opening his mouth, Xu Chong and He surname old man suddenly went dark in front of their eyes, almost fainting.
Luozhi Chao is here too? ? !
Although Luo Zhi Chao had not spoken yet, the other party's appearance had a terrifying psychological impact on everyone.
Adding Luo Zichao, there are twelve standing committee members in Huaijiang Province, and only four have arrived? Are they all here to pay respects to Xu Yu?
This is not a Standing Committee meeting!!
This terrifying information made Xu Chong and others completely unaware that Luo Zichao had arrived, but his eyes were also full of shock.
To be honest, he came, it was really a coincidence, not intentionally to support Xu Yu. A few days ago, after Luo Xinying was rescued, she called Luo Jichao and sent someone to the scene. Seeing the devastated land ravaged by sharp ice picks, combined with Luo Xinying's oral account, although unable to see, but somehow felt some things.
This was enough to shock him, after all, he didn't have the backing of a martial arts family, and was just an ordinary person. So, after investigating for several days and understanding some things, he came to visit Xu Yu, which could be considered as a way of saying thanks.
He himself also lived in the family courtyard and only rushed over after learning that the other party had arrived at the Xu's house.
But as soon as he entered the door, he saw that nearly half of the provincial standing committee members were present, and most of them were looking at Xu Yu's face... He was almost frightened out of his wits.
As for Xu Yu's astonishment, it also increased by a few points.
……
It wasn't easy, but finally when everyone sat down again in front of the sofa in the living room, the atmosphere in the hall became increasingly eerie.
Lin Zhongze, Yan Guotao and Du Peiming all sat down beside Xu Yu, Xu Yu did not speak, and the others were also silent. Luo Jichao was sitting on another sofa, occasionally looking at Xu Yu with a gaze full of doubt and horror.
The atmosphere is indeed eerie.
Wei Chong, who had just cramped up earlier, was again showing signs of cramping.
The eyes looking at Xǔ Yú across from him were also filled with shock and incredulity. When he felt parched and wanted to drink a cup of tea, he found that except for the front of the old man surnamed Heo, there was not even one cup of tea.
As for the old man with the surname He, although he also felt parched and dry, looking at the tea in front of him, he didn't have the courage to drink it, because this was tea personally poured by Xu Yu.
Joking, all four incumbent provincial standing committee members had to hear his words before they dared to sit down. He was just a former deputy secretary of the municipal party committee at the prefecture level and is now retired from the second line. Does he have the courage to drink this cup of tea?
It was Mrs. Xu who wanted to turn around and pour tea, but she was startled by Lin Zhongze, Yan Guotao, and Du Peiming all standing up suddenly, repeatedly pushing away the offer, after all, they all knew that although Xu Yu had a strained relationship with Xu Chong, he had no estrangement with Mrs. Xu before.
This round of pushing and shoving scared Mrs. Xu half to death, she didn't know whether to stay or leave, but instead Xǔ Chóng couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and walked towards the tea table on one side.
Four provincial standing committee bigwigs sat there without saying a word. If it were really at the Standing Committee meeting, that would be fine, but in private gatherings, the atmosphere was somewhat terrifying. The elderly He could not bear this kind of terrifying pressure and directly stood up with a smile, saying, "Vice Governor Xu, I have something to do, so I'll leave first."
Just as Xu Chong was pouring tea, he hurried over and wanted to persuade him to stay, but when the words came out, they suddenly changed to "I'll see you off."
Until the two of them left the room and arrived outside the house, Mr. He's face gradually regained some normal color, but then he looked at Xu Chong with a bitter smile and said, "Old Xu, I'm not saying you're wrong, this is what you said, that your son is no good, always sneaking around and cheating? This is really hitting my old face!!"
In front of others, Mr. He naturally addressed Xu Chong by his official title, but due to their close relationship, he now reverted back to the original form of address.
It was just one sentence, Xu Chonghao's mood, which had just calmed down a bit, suddenly became turbulent again, and his face instantly turned fiery red, and he really cramped up for the second time, it hurt so much!
What is this if it's not a slap in the face?!
Is this still not enough? What is considered enough then? Moreover, the strength shown by Xu Yu is even more impressive than his father's!
