"Mr. Bao, Wan Ping is my son and will always be your son." Secretary Wan said sincerely to the couple.

His words were a promise that no matter what the future held, Wan Ping would always be their son.

"This is inappropriate..." Bao Shiqing and Qian Donghua were very excited. They thought that they would lose their son after Wan Ping returned to his ancestral home.

They had already made preparations for this, but who knew the situation would turn around.

Wan Ping looked at Secretary Wan with moved eyes. What Du Yimeng said was true. He just had a father who loved him. He didn't lose anything.

"There's nothing inappropriate about it. You raised him and nurtured him into a talented person. He is your own son," said Secretary Wan. He had always thought so.

Everyone else's eyes fell on Secretary Wan. Those who knew the inside story knew how much Secretary Wan valued Wan Ping.

The fact that Secretary Wan could say such words at this time shows that he is an upright person.

"On the contrary, I didn't do anything, but I got such a big son for nothing. I feel ashamed!" Secretary Wan said sincerely.

Whenever he thought about what happened back then, he felt extremely guilty.

"The political commissar cannot be blamed for this. In that chaotic era, it was a blessing to be alive. It is even more difficult to be able to get together today." Bao Shiqing said with emotion.

Several times he thought he was going to die, but he came back to life.

His eyes became hot when he thought of this, but fortunately he pinched his thighs tightly, so he did not cry.

To be honest, he wouldn't mind fighting the enemy with bayonets, but it was just too hard to stop him from crying.

"Old Bao, don't call him Political Commissar anymore. It's too formal. We are brothers. Just call him Old Wan." Li Saichang tried to smooth things over.

"Zheng... Lao Wan, you're too kind! We're just doing what we should do. Ping'an is doing well, so we're happy too." Bao Shiqing's simple words revealed his kindness.

If you are not kind, how can you treat someone else's child as your own just because of a promise?

If he wasn't kind, why would he lose an arm to save someone?

Bao Shiqing is the truest portrayal of the veterans of this era. They will devote their entire lives to a promise without regrets.

No matter how hard it is, they never complain or tell anyone.

Not only that, they will also face challenges head-on and overcome all difficulties.

At first, the atmosphere in the private room was a bit heavy, but when the dishes were served, the only aroma left in the air was the aroma of roast duck.

Bao Shiqing saw that the table was full of dishes he had never seen before. He looked a little uneasy and his face was full of pain.

How much will this cost?

The best thing he had ever eaten in his life was braised pork, and during the most difficult times he had to rely on drinking cold water to fill his stomach.

"I've heard for a long time that the restaurant's roast duck is a specialty in Beijing. I haven't even tried it yet, but just by smelling the fragrance, I can tell it's well-deserved. I'm indebted to Uncle Bao, Aunt Bao, and Teacher for being here today. I'll have to eat more later." Du Yimeng said with a smile.

It seems like a joke, but it actually points out that Bao Shiqing and his wife and Qin Chulong are the protagonists today, and everyone else is just here to eat for free.

The most important thing when inviting guests to dinner is to make the host and the guests feel comfortable, so as to achieve the purpose of the invitation.

Moreover, there is a distinction between host and guest. She put the names of Bao Shiqing and his wife in front, which is enough to make it clear who is the host and who is the guest.

Secretary Wan asked her to come so that she could act as a mediator.

It was mainly because of Qin Chulong. Logically speaking, Wan Ping should have the closest relationship with Qin Chulong.

Since he arrived at the restaurant until now, he has not said anything except looking at Secretary Wan with admiration.

Actually, this is a good thing. If you don’t speak, you won’t make mistakes.

Wan Ping: He remembered what his father said.

'Think it in your mind, then go through it in your head, repeat it silently for three seconds, and then speak it out loud.'

After this time passed, he felt like he didn't want to talk anymore.

After saying this, Du Yimeng looked at Secretary Wan calmly, and the latter gave her an appreciative look.

Secretary Wan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Even if Du Yimeng didn't choose the path of scientific research, he still knew how to deal with human relationships and social situations.

He will definitely carve out a bloody path in the officialdom, and it will be a path that will become wider and wider.

Li Saichang saw everything about the two people's quarrels. This man is like a shrew. I don't know how his parents raised him?

When you think of those two annoying things at home, aren’t you envious?

"It's too expensive..." Bao Shiqing said with a painful look on his face, but he no longer felt uneasy as before.

But Qin Chulong's eyes lit up. The roast duck smelled delicious. He would bring Wen Yan to try it when he had the chance.

But he is not a person who knows nothing. People invite him to dinner just to thank him for taking care of Wan Ping over the years.

When they were in college, he asked Wan Ping to give Du Yimeng extra lessons, partly to get rid of the poor students in the class.

On the other hand, someone asked him about Wan Ping's situation at that time. He was a pure person and didn't care about anything other than academics.

But that doesn't mean he is a fool. He will not allow anyone to attack his students.

Whether it was Wan Ping, his most satisfied student, or Du Yimeng, who gave him a headache.

As a teacher, if he can't protect his students, what's the point of being a teacher?

Later, he was transferred to the research institute and directly proposed to transfer Wan Ping as well.

It wasn't a whim, nor was it that he was very optimistic about Wan Ping, but Wan Ping had written him several letters.

He knew everything about Wan Ping's experience in the factory, and he felt that only by keeping him by his side could this student have a good future.

"Uncle Bao and Aunt Bao, just eat well, drink well and be happy today." Du Yimeng said with a smile.

"Comrade Qin, you are Wan Ping's mentor. I will have to rely on you to discipline him strictly in the future." Secretary Wan saw Du Yimeng greeting Bao Shiqing and his wife, and turned to Qin Chulong and said.

"Comrade Wan, you are too polite. Wan Ping is very smart and hardworking. He will definitely achieve something in the future." Qin Chulong gave the most pertinent evaluation.

Wan Ping was listening at the side and subconsciously straightened his chest. He knew that he was the most satisfied student in the teacher's mind.

Secretary Wan noticed Wan Ping's little movement, his eyelids twitched, and then he turned his head.

Although there are some small differences from what I imagined, this is my own son.

He turned his head accidentally and saw Bao Shiqing puffing out his chest.

This little action was exactly the same as Wan Ping's. His eyelids twitched violently again, almost causing his facial muscles to cramp.

Now he finally understood why Wan Ping was so naive. Isn't this just Bao Shiqing when he was young?
