Hearing this, Ye Xiu was a bit unhappy. "Grandpa, am I still your grandson or not?"
What do you mean by I don't have to go, but Brother Cheng has to go?
Elder Ye rolled his eyes. "You should ask your dad about this serious topic. The reason I'm not taking you is because you don't have the qualifications."
Ye Xiu looked at Minister Ye with a bitter expression. "Dad?"
Minister Ye's words hit Ye Xiu hard. He coughed and said, "That group of people only know how to brag. You really don't have the qualifications to brag, so you really don't have the qualifications."
Ye Xiu: "…"
Xu Cheng couldn't change Elder Ye's mind, so he could only follow him onto the Hongqi.
Seeing the Hongqi drive off, Ye Xiu asked his dad in confusion, "I don't have the qualifications, but does Brother Cheng have the qualifications? I don't remember Grandpa ever praising you after you became the minister, right? "
Minister Ye sighed: "In your grandfather's eyes, a soldier who can fight the Japanese is a good soldier. Your father's position as minister was given to me by your grandfather, so I really don't have the qualifications to be looked at seriously. However, Little Cheng has the capital to brag to those old guys."
Ye Xiu: "I don't know what's so great about him?"
"If you knew what's so great about him, you wouldn't be standing but kneeling when talking to him." After Minister Ye said that, he immediately poured himself a glass of wine and started drinking.
"What?" Ye Xiu thought his dad was joking.
In the car, Xu Cheng sighed. "Grandpa, I don't know what you're thinking, but I'm really tired right now and want to rest."
"I don't know what you are talking about." Elder Ye pretended to be confused. After thinking about it, he didn't beat around the bush. He looked at Xu Cheng and sighed. "Kid, it's not good to be too smart."
Xu Cheng bitterly smiled. "That's why I don't want to be in politics, Grandpa."
Elder Ye nodded and said, "You are a smart kid. In fact, there are many ways for people to prove their worth. There's no need to stand at the top for too long. If you stand for too long, you will look too bright, and it will hurt more when you fall. You did the right thing this time. At least you already understood the realm that Zhang Chenfeng wanted. "
The car drove all the way to a restaurant opened by the housekeeper of Yan Jing. The chefs here were all authentic Yan Jing cuisine. Many of the chefs who stayed to cook here could be traced back to imperial chefs who had served the royal family in the past.
In terms of grandeur, this restaurant could not be compared to the luxurious shops in the prime locations outside. However, this was definitely a place where even if you had money and power, you might not be able to come here to eat!
Reservations were required here, and they usually wouldn't entertain guests other than government officials. It was obvious how awesome this restaurant was.
For a national tycoon to be invited to this place for a meal with a certain leader was enough for him to brag about for a lifetime.
It was not difficult to see the long history of this restaurant and the famous people who came to eat in the corridor. It was not difficult to see the history of this restaurant and its absolute status.
The earliest photos were of the restaurant's old chef and the members of the royal family. There were also countless photos of the leaders. Just this background wall alone was enough for the officials and the rich to stay and take a photo as a souvenir.
Today, the restaurant was almost fully booked from afternoon to evening. Many officials were very puzzled as the originally reserved seats were temporarily moved.
Li Menglong, who was in charge of managing Beijing's economy and entertaining the wealthy investors, was one of the people who had booked a table a few days in advance. He had brought a few wealthy guests here to talk about attracting investment. In the end, when he was told that this restaurant was going to be reserved temporarily, a few of the top tycoons in the country beside him asked the person in charge in bewilderment, "We haven't finished our discussion yet. How can we leave just like that?"
As a local, Li Menglong knew that something must have happened. He waved his hand to signal the two tycoons to calm down and turned to ask the person in charge, "Who booked the place?"
Before the person in charge could say anything, the armed special forces outside drove in and began to clear the restaurant. The scene was a little chaotic. Li Menglong's eyelids twitched. This scene looked like the deployment of the Bureau Chief on an inspection tour.
Immediately, he looked at the two tycoons and said, "Why don't we go to another house?"
At this time, the two tycoons thought to themselves, 'It's rare to come here, so I should at least have a meal in my life, right?'
"Boss, we were all sitting down and eating. Why did you clear the place? Isn't it a little unreasonable? Furthermore, we have already given you the money, right? "
The person in charge said, "Both of you, it's not that we don't want to let you eat. It's just that the time has been delayed. We received a call from the headquarters to book this place at the last minute. Please don't make things difficult for us."
He looked at Li Menglong and said, "Mayor Li, you are a government official. I wouldn't do this for no reason. Besides, it's so rushed."
Li Menglong nodded. He saw that many of his peers had left the place, especially when the person in charge said the words "headquarters." His expression changed slightly.
"Alright, come back another day." Li Menglong immediately stood up and said a few words to the two tycoons. Then, the three of them prepared to leave.
Just as the three of them came out of the restaurant, they saw a large number of police cars leading the way. Then, five Hongqi cars slowly drove towards the restaurant. Following that, the special forces opened the doors of the cars. A few young people got out of the five cars. Li Menglong didn't feel that anything was wrong. However, when he saw five elderly people slowly getting out of the cars …
Li Menglong's heart shook violently like an earthquake!
Damn!
These five people … These five people are not simple old people!
These five could be said to be the founding fathers of the country. They were the generals that killed the Japanese the most back in the day! The five of them rarely appeared in public, and it had been at least a few decades since the five of them appeared together in the same picture frame, especially coming to the same restaurant to eat. No wonder this restaurant placed so much importance on them and made all unrelated people leave.
Li Menglong's heart was in turmoil because he also saw the old General Ye that he almost offended before!
Damn, that was close. If he didn't come out just now, he would have met with those five people in the restaurant. That would have been bad enough!
He saw a young man supporting Elder Ye, and Elder Ye was hugging Xu Cheng with a smile on his face. Obviously, they were having a good conversation. Li Menglong quickly took a closer look at the young man, hoping to get to know him in the future. This young man was none other than Xu Cheng!
"Mayor Li, who are these five old people? Do you know them? I thought it was the head of the government who came. What a big scene, "the two tycoons said in confusion.
Li Menglong bitterly smiled. "Even the head of the government has to obediently call them 'Uncle' when he sees them. The five of them are enough to represent the political power of Huaxia. If they don't say they're from a wealthy family, no one would dare to admit it!"
