Afterwards, everyone took their seats in turn according to the predetermined seating arrangement.

Mr. Zhou sat steadily in the seat of host, while Minister Li Chunfeng sat in the seat of vice-host with a smile on his face. The others also took their seats in order...

Wentao sat in the deputy escort's seat, while on the other side, Zhang Aiguo sat at the end somewhat uncomfortably, glancing at Wentao and other people present from time to time.

After everyone was seated, Zhang Aiguo carefully raised his head and signaled to Wentao with his eyes whether he could ask the waiter to start serving the dishes.

However, Wentao just shook his head slightly, and then quickly glanced at the position of the guest of honor.

Zhang Aiguo followed Wentao's gaze and was suddenly shocked!

I saw that the honorable seat that was supposed to belong to the guest of honor was empty and no one was sitting there.

He couldn't help but wonder: Even the First Deputy Minister of Education is here in person, so why is there such an important person who hasn't shown up yet?

Who is this upcoming mysterious figure?

Could Dao be one of the few people standing at the top...

Thinking of this, Zhang Aiguo quickly stopped thinking and didn't dare to think any further.

Because this kind of speculation was too bold for him, it could even be said to be blasphemy. If he thought about it any further, he might really make a big mistake...

At this moment, the door that had just been closed was slowly pushed open again, and everyone's eyes were focused on the door.

I saw an old man with white hair and wrinkles on his face sitting upright in a wheelchair, and was slowly pushed into the room by the staff behind him.

"Dear leaders, I, an old man, am really late today! I am really sorry, please forgive me!" The old man said with a hearty laugh.

Although he is old, nearly a hundred years old, his voice is still as loud as a bell and full of energy.

The people who were originally sitting at the table seemed to have triggered some kind of mechanism. They stood up in a hurry, with flattering smiles on their faces, and walked quickly towards the front.

Li Chunfeng, who was walking in front, took two steps at a time and quickly came to the old man, saying, "Old man, how can I trouble you with such a small matter? I am so sorry!"

He stretched out his hands, took the wheelchair from the staff, and carefully pushed the old man towards the table.

Jinghua University President Guo Zigang also hurried forward and said to the old man with a smile on his face, "Old man, it's been a while since I last saw you! The last time I saw you was four or five years ago! Time flies!"

As he said this, his eyes sparkled with admiration and respect.

Everyone present was clear in their minds, knowing very well the enormous power and lofty status possessed by the old man in front of them.

You know, although Mr. Zhou and Mr. Jian were both heroes who had experienced bullets and survived the cruel battlefield, the paths they chose afterwards were completely different.

Mr. Zhou always sticks to his post in the army and dedicates his life to the country's national defense; but Mr. Jian is different. Since returning from the battlefield, he has plunged into the China Economic Development and Reform Commission. With his outstanding talents and wisdom, he has firmly taken root in the wave of China's economic reform and has become one of the key figures in promoting this great change!

It is no exaggeration to say that if it were a few years ago, if these schools wanted to successfully obtain approval for some important projects, they would have to ask the old man for approval!

At this moment, facing the crowd's flattery, the old man just smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Haha, look at what you are saying! Nowadays, you are all high-ranking leaders and cadres, and I am just a retired old man!"

However, although the old man spoke so humbly, his sharp eyes and awe-inspiring aura still made people feel his former glory and extraordinaryness.

"Today I am here for my good son-in-law. I will toast to all the leaders later!" Mr. Jian continued.

"Grandpa, you can't drink. I can't explain to Mingyue." Wentao said quickly.

Zhang Aiguo was shocked. Mr. Zhou was his biological grandfather, and Secretary Wen might be the grandson-in-law of this old man!

Moreover, even Minister Li respects the two old gentlemen so much, so you can imagine the status of these two old gentlemen!

"Everyone, please sit down quickly!"

Everyone has arrived, and Mr. Zhou waved his hand.

Deputy Minister Li and several principals all had visibly happy expressions on their faces. Just imagine, in this day and age, who could possibly get these two old men to treat them to a meal?

Especially Mr. Jian, he is someone you can’t even see even with a lantern!

It is said that the leaders of the "South China Sea" still have to seek the old man's advice on some matters!

In order to help his grandson get things done, Mr. Zhou also shed blood.

He took out two bottles of 1957 Lao Maozi, which were given to him by a senior leader when he returned from the battlefield!

Today I only took out two bottles. These are old Russian wines that are forty or fifty years old. It is not an exaggeration to call them diamonds among wines.

Deputy Minister Li, who usually doesn't drink and is very cautious, actually drank happily with several principals today.

Faced with such fine wines, they all knew in their hearts that this was the only time in their lifetime that they could taste such good wine!

At this moment, even if there is a mountain of work at hand, it is completely thrown out of the window.

The drinking party kicked off in a noisy and cheerful atmosphere, and finally ended successfully in the same warm and cheerful atmosphere!

Although the entire drinking party did not last long, Wentao's intention in organizing this gathering was obvious and transparent.

You know, two of China's three national treasures actually showed up. With the support of such a powerful lineup, how could anything be difficult to accomplish?

If even these two highly respected old men cannot get things done in China, then looking around the world, I am afraid no one else can successfully mediate and resolve the issue!

At this moment, Zhang Aiguo was already a little dizzy and unconscious.

Especially when he heard and saw the topics discussed by the so-called "leaders" during the drinking party, a strong sense of inferiority surged in his heart - he even felt that with his humble and insignificant status, he was not qualified to participate in such a high-end dinner party!

The feeling was as shocking as listening to a high-level confidential meeting in person!

Although he still knew nothing about the exact identities of the two old men, he did not have the slightest curiosity to explore.

Because just from the conversation among the crowd, he could clearly sense that the identities of these two old men were not something a "little person" like him could inquire about...
