"Book me a small private room at the Delicacy Restaurant, the kind that seats four."

He picked up the phone and gave instructions to his assistant before starting to think about how to tell Chen Shaojie.

After much deliberation, he decided to take action against Chen Zi'ang.

Although Chen Zi'ang retired early and rarely appeared in public, it was still possible for him to meet him if he wanted to.

In the afternoon, he personally went to the Chen family's old courtyard and met Chen Zi'ang accompanied by housekeeper Zhao. After a lot of nonsense, he explained what had happened.

Then he brought two bottles of old wine and left.

He is not pretentious.

This time, it was obvious that he came here to bribe the old man with two bottles of old wine that was impossible to buy. The condition of exchange was that the old man would say hello to Chen Shaojie.

How could he know that as soon as he left, Chen Zi'ang and Butler Zhao opened a bottle, added some aged wine that was less than 10 years old, and then kept it awake for more than half an hour.

During this time, Butler Zhao personally went into the kitchen and fried a plate of peanuts and scrambled a plate of cucumbers.

The two old men sat on the kang, taking turns to drink, and drank half a bottle.

Then I lay down and went to sleep.

After drinking good wine, you naturally need to take a nap to feel comfortable.

After this sleep, I completely forgot about calling Chen Shaojie.

This is also why when Huo Zhiqiang met Chen Shaojie in the evening, he always felt that the two of them were not on the same wavelength at first.

There were only him and Chen Shaojie in the four-person private room.

After the dishes were served, no one went in. The bodyguards stood at the door and did not let anyone in.

They were both inside, having also opened a bottle of wine.

"Didn't the old man say hello to you?" Huo Zhiqiang finally couldn't help but ask.

Chen Shaojie was confused. "Your old man? No? Besides, why would I bother him for no reason?"

Huo Zhiqiang immediately understood.

Mr. Chen, you really do nothing but eat and drink!

My two bottles of wine were wasted!

Chen Shaojie also understood, "What's wrong? What do you want my dad to tell me?

Can't you just tell me what's going on?

I'm right in front of you, why do you still have to tell my old man?"

Huo Zhiqiang sighed, "What a pity for wasting two bottles of my good wine!"

Chen Shaojie laughed, then ignored him and started eating his own food.

Huo Zhiqiang drank a glass of wine, sipped it carefully for a while before speaking: "My elder brother will go to Yun Province after the New Year. Your elder brother will go to Tianjiang Province after the New Year.

The news has not been announced yet. Tell me what your conditions are.

I don’t necessarily agree.”

Chen Shaojie continued to pick up food and chew slowly. After a while, he looked up at Huo Zhiqiang.

"As for the conditions, there aren't any. If I really have to say, I do have a thought.

Choose one of your daughter, my son, or my second brother's son Chen Ping'an to marry me.

Let us become closer and closer, and be together forever..."

Huo Zhiqiang glanced at him and said calmly, "Get lost!"

Chen Shaojie laughed for a while before he calmed down and said seriously:

"If that's the case, I'm at a disadvantage."

Huo Zhiqiang said with a headache: "Well, I'm asking you to make conditions!"

Chen Shaojie said seriously, "I really want your daughter to marry me. She looks like a fertile woman."

Huo Zhiqiang said with a cold expression: "This one won't work, let's try another one."

Chen Shaojie thought for a moment and said, "How about this? Don't worry about the girl's marriage. If she wants to get married, just don't stop her."

Huo Zhiqiang's mind flashed with the cold face of his youngest daughter, and even more clearly was the stubbornness in her eyes when she had put forward conditions to him.

“It is natural for parents to decide on their children’s marriage.

There is no room for negotiation on this matter!

Either you change the terms, or you swallow this loss!"

Chen Shaojie was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that this guy would be so persistent on this matter?

After picking up the wine glass and drinking it in one gulp, he exhaled the alcohol and said, "Let it go for now. In this situation, no matter how you look at it, your Huo family is taking advantage.

Your eldest brother's son still needs my eldest brother's protection.

Do you think this is the case?

My son is still staying in that crappy place called Tianyuan!

If you don't give me some compensation, this matter will be unacceptable."

"I didn't say I wouldn't compensate you, it's just that you couldn't make a suitable request."

"Alright then, I'll take this as your agreement. I'll leave this condition as is. No matter who becomes the head of the Chen family in the future, you or your son must acknowledge this!"

"I promise you! But if this is a conversation between children, neither you nor I can interfere!"

Huo Zhiqiang thought about it for a while and finally agreed.

But at the same time, a restriction was also mentioned.

What if this guy is not satisfied with the requests made by the little ones, then wouldn’t he have to sacrifice his daughter?

He really didn't like that naughty kid Chen Xiaolong.

"Okay," Chen Shaojie agreed quickly, "Now let's talk about how to convince your eldest brother to help with the Yuncheng matter."

……

Chen Ping'an had never thought about having to face the situation of talking to government officials alone.

But last night, after Chen Xiaolong followed him to eat something called noodle fish, he started having diarrhea in the middle of the night.

Just in the morning, Shaoji arrived at Kaiyuan with Ah Qi, a man named Dali, and a bodyguard named Zhugan.

Chen Ping'an could only ask two of them to take Chen Xiaolong to the town clinic for treatment first, and then go directly to the county hospital.

But he could only face Huo Xiulin, the executive deputy mayor of Kaiyuan Town and the eldest son of the Huo family, alone.

When the agreed time came, he, Shaoji and Ah Qi got on the car arranged by the town and went to the town government.

Although it is said to be a town government in a poor place, it is actually a nice-looking building.

Huo Xiulin's office was on the third floor. After he knocked on the door and entered, Huo Xiulin saw that it was him. The first thing he asked was, "Is Xiaolong okay?"

Chen Ping'an's first reaction was that this was just a casual chat, and the question was asked as a member of the Huo family.

"It's okay, he should be on his way to the county hospital now.

He just likes to eat whatever he wants, that's all."

Huo Xiulin personally poured him a cup of tea and sat down before asking, "This is the first time we've met alone. I didn't know you were Uncle Shaohua's son."

Chen Pingan smiled, feeling a little nervous.

He won't look down on me just because I'm his adopted son, right?

"The legend that Uncle Shaohua left behind is indeed very powerful.

I see that you and Xiaolong are both of college age, and I appreciate you coming here for me."
