Shenhao starts from system downtime

Chapter 1116 Yanjing Branch Vice President

Holding Liu Ning's hand, Lin Qian led her into the private restaurant behind him.

Three Chinese-style wing rooms and a simple and clean courtyard are the whole picture of this private restaurant.

The main room in the center is brightly lit and there are many people inside. It is obvious that this room is for entertaining guests. On the left side room, there is smoke from the roof. Many staff come and go here. The wing room is the kitchen, and the wing room on the right is pitch-black. It is not known whether it is a warehouse or a dormitory.

"Mr. Lin, this way please."

While Lin Qian was looking at the surroundings, a young girl quickly walked up to Lin Qian and greeted Lin Qian respectfully.

Lin Qian nodded slightly, led Liu Ning to follow behind her, and walked towards the main wing directly in front.

After entering the main room, the environment inside was not as Lin Qian imagined, with a big round table in the center, but the entire main room was divided into two areas by a Chinese-style screen.

The area facing the main entrance was a rectangular tea table with six Chinese-style wooden chairs on the left and right sides. When Lin Qian walked in, there were four people sitting on the tea table talking and laughing, three of them were Lin Qian know.

One is Wang Zhixue, the director of the National Museum, one is Huang Jianhua, the director of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, and the other is Zhou Rongguo, the vice minister of the Ministry of Culture.

"Ouch!"

"Lin Qian came in."

Seeing the door of the wing room being opened suddenly, Wang Zhixue and the others subconsciously looked in the direction of the door. When they saw Lin Qian leading Liu Ning in, Wang Zhixue, Huang Jianhua and the others all stood up from their chairs and turned towards Lin Qian. greeted the past.

"Director Wang, Director Huang, and Minister Zhou, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting."

Lin Qian first called them one by one, and then said in a slightly apologetic tone.

"It didn't take long. We were all in front of our feet. You see, we haven't even made our tea yet."

Huang Jianhua has a face with Chinese characters, and his personality belongs to the cheerful and straightforward type, which is quite different from Wang Zhixue and Zhou Rongguo, who are gentle and scholarly.

"Lin Qian, today is a private invitation and a family banquet, so there is no yellow bureau here, no curator Wang, no minister Zhou, just three old men, you can call them whatever you want, otherwise, if we have one director Lin, If you take one bite at a time, the taste of our meal will change."

As soon as Huang Jianhua finished speaking, Zhou Guorong smiled and said a few words.

"Okay, since it's a family banquet, then I'll be more casual. I'll call you Mr. Wang, Mr. Zhou and Mr. Huang."

Lin Qian didn't stick to formalism. In fact, he didn't like to call those official names very much. On the contrary, this kind of familiar name made Lin Qian feel more comfortable.

"sure."

"definitely no problem."

Wang Zhixue responded with a smile.

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce. This is Liu Ning, who is currently working in China Merchants Bank and is the vice president of Yanjing Branch."

Lin Qian chatted with the three of Wang Zhixue for a few words, then he suddenly patted his head, turned around and briefly introduced Liu Ning to the three of Wang Zhixue.

"Huang Lao, Zhou Lao, Wang Lao, hello."

After Lin Qian's introduction, Liu Ning greeted Huang Jianhua and the three of them in a very obedient and polite manner.

"Hello, hello, this little girl has a good personality, no wonder Lin Qian waited for you outside for so long against the cold wind."

"You are the vice president of the branch at a young age, and you are also young and promising."

"Xiao Liu, today is a family feast, you can order whatever you want later."

Who are Huang Jianhua and the others? They are all people who have worked their way up to their current position. Ordinary people don't need to say anything in front of them. They can tell the general character of this person with just a few glances. After thinking it over, how could it be impossible to hear that Lin Qian deliberately ignored something in what he said just now.

And this point that was deliberately ignored was that Lin Qian did not introduce his relationship with Liu Ning.

If it was a normal relationship between lovers, Lin Qian would have said it during the introduction process, but Lin Qian did not introduce it like this, which means that Lin Qian and Liu Ning are not in a normal relationship.

It's not a relationship between lovers, but the two of them are holding hands all the time, and Lin Qian is willing to bring him to such an important dinner, so the relationship between the two is a bit delicate.

Thinking of Lin Qian's status, looking at Lin Qian's young and handsome appearance, and seeing Wang Zhixue's knowledge and experience, the moment Lin Qian finished introducing Liu Ning, he already knew it in his heart.

"Xiao Lin, this is my son-in-law. His name is Yang Mingduo. He is 32 years old and works in the Palace Museum as a restorer of cultural relics."

After Lin Qian introduced Liu Ning, Huang Jianhua immediately introduced the young man behind him to Lin Qian.

"Hello."

Huang Jianhua showed enough respect to Liu Ning, Lin Qian naturally reciprocated, and also showed enough respect to Huang Jianhua's son-in-law.

Everyone greeted and introduced each other, and after Lin Qian and Liu Ning followed Wang Zhixue and others around the screen to the dining table, he got to know many family members of Huang Jianhua and the other three.

Both Wang Zhixue and Zhou Rongguo only brought their wives, and Huang Jianhua brought more people. In addition to his wife, he also brought his daughter and son-in-law with him. If you count Lin Qian and Liu Ning , exactly ten people.

Everyone introduced each other, greeted each other, and soon became familiar with each other.

After a little in-depth understanding, Lin Qian learned that the work of the three family members was basically related to history.

Needless to say, the three of Wang Zhixue, Huang Jianhua’s son-in-law and daughter have the same job, both working as cultural relic restorers in the Palace Museum, while his wife is the deputy director of the Department of Intangible Cultural Heritage of the Ministry of Culture, responsible for the protection of intangible cultural heritage. .

Zhou Guorong's wife is a professor at the School of History at Yenching University, while Wang Zhixue's wife Song Yuling is a history teacher.

It can be said that the people at this table, except for Lin Qian and Liu Ning, are all experts in history, and all kinds of quotations from classics are almost open-mouthed. Sometimes Lin Qian and Liu Ning can only listen from the side, because Wang Zhi learns from them The content of the chat is that they can't get in their mouths at all.

However, the two listened with great interest to the chats of Wang Zhixue and the others, and heard many interesting stories about secret history from their mouths.

At the same time, while everyone was chatting and laughing, the service staff outside began to serve food.

Yanjing Roast Duck, Sixi Meatballs, Fushou Knuckles, Steamed Yellow Fish, Three Fresh Stuffed Tofu, Donkey Rolling...

A series of dishes with delicious color, fragrance and exquisite dishes were brought to the table one after another by the service staff. Although there were many meat dishes, most of the ingredients were beef, mutton and pork, and there were no expensive ingredients. Looking at a table full of more than a dozen For a dish, if the external additional costs are excluded, the cost of this table dish will not exceed [-] yuan if it is purely based on ingredients.
