Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

He Daqing had long anticipated that Director Yang himself would not come.

He and Director Yang have always been a colleague. Although Director Yang tried to win over He Daqing several times, He Daqing did not show too much enthusiasm. Director Yang gradually lost his patience and gave up the idea of ​​winning over He Daqing.

However, he sometimes still needed He Daqing to help him with cooking and to please his superiors, so on the surface, the two of them got along just fine.

He Daqing knew that this year was already 1965. After the New Year, if there was a slight breeze, Li Huaide would start to take action. Director Yang would inevitably be sent to clean up, so it would be best to keep a distance from them at this time.

The person who was most happy about the arrival of these leaders was Liu Haizhong. He was busy greeting several leaders and circling around them.

When He Daqing saw this, he didn't pay much attention to it. Sometimes the occasion needs someone like Liu Haizhong or Xu Damao to liven up the atmosphere, otherwise the leader's aura is too serious and the whole banquet will lose its lively atmosphere.

What He Daqing didn't expect was that not long after Li Huaide and his friends sat down, Director Wang and a few people from the street office came to show their support.

He Daqing hurried over to greet him.

"Thank you Director Wang for coming. Welcome!"

Director Wang smiled and said, "You have made so many contributions to our subdistrict office. Since your family is celebrating, we came to share in your happiness. Is it okay for us not to inform you in advance?"

He Daqing smiled and replied, "No, no. Director Wang, you are here to give me, He Daqing, face. You are always welcome. Please come in!"

He Daqing brought Director Wang and his team to the table where Li Huaide was.

Li Huaide and several chief section chiefs from the factory were here, so there were originally two or three empty seats.

Liu Haizhong, the tactless guy, was the first to arrange himself at this table and took up a seat.

When He Daqing brought Director Wang and the others here, Liu Haizhong was here, boasting to a group of leaders about his influence in Siheyuan with a big smile on his face, as if Siheyuan would be disbanded without him.

These words happened to be heard by Director Wang and others who came with He Daqing, and their faces immediately became displeased.

He Daqing coughed a few times but failed to interrupt Liu Haizhong's boasting. He had no choice but to step forward and pat Liu Haizhong on the shoulder and said, "Old Liu, Director Wang and the others are here. Let them sit at this table. I'll change your seat."

Liu Haizhong was unhappy because He Daqing interrupted his conversation with his leader. When he heard that Director Wang was coming, he turned around hurriedly, and saw Director Wang and others looking at him with gloomy faces.

Liu Haizhong knew that something was wrong. He had just boasted too much about himself, saying that the people in the street office wanted him to manage the courtyard house. If he had not worked in the steel rolling mill, Director Wang would have invited him to work in the street office and at least given him the position of team leader.

Seeing Director Wang now, Liu Haizhong felt particularly guilty. He stood up hastily, forced out an awkward smile, and said, "Director Wang, you're here. I'm so sorry. I was busy entertaining Deputy Director Li and the others and didn't have time to meet you at the door. Please take a seat!"

Today is a happy event in He Daqing's family, and Director Wang and his team would not argue with Liu Haizhong on this occasion. She ignored Liu Haizhong and walked over to greet Li Huaide and the others.

After He Daqing finished arranging things here, he had to go somewhere else. As soon as he left, Liu Haizhong hurriedly chased after him and asked, "Old He, you really made me suffer today. Why didn't you tell me that Director Wang and the others were coming? How much of what I said just now did Director Wang and the others hear?"

He Daqing glanced at Liu Haizhong with a smile.

"I didn't know Director Wang and the others were coming. I only found out when Nan Yi told me when we got to the door. But I think Director Wang has heard almost everything you said. Old Liu, you better learn your lesson. I can't help you with this matter."

After saying that, he patted Liu Haizhong on the shoulder.

Liu Haizhong slapped He Daqing's hand away and said angrily: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I think you just wanted to make me look bad, right?"

He Daqing said with a wronged look on his face: "You are wrongly accusing me. I coughed to give you a hint when I first arrived, but you were enjoying yourself at that time and ignored me. That's why I tapped your shoulder to remind you. The people around me can prove it to me. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask."

Seeing that what He Daqing said seemed to be true, Liu Haizhong didn't know how to refute it and could only sulk in himself.

He Daqing smiled and said, "Don't worry, Director Wang and the others won't say anything to you today. Try not to hang around there as much as possible. I'm sure after today, Director Wang and the others will forget about this."

Liu Haizhong said regretfully, "I hope so!"

He went home immediately and had no appetite for the banquet.

By noon, almost all the guests had arrived and the wedding was about to begin.

The guests who came today were Li Huaide and Director Wang, who held relatively high positions. Originally, He Daqing planned to let Li Huaide preside over the wedding, but after Director Wang arrived, he still had to ask Director Wang for permission, otherwise he would easily offend people.

Coming to the table, He Daqing said, "Director Li, Director Wang, it's not easy for you two to come here. Since you are here, we can't let you leave our courtyard so easily. Who of you two will go up and take the trouble to host the wedding?"

Li Huaide pointed at He Daqing and said with a smile: "Everyone, look, we are now in Director He's territory. Even with the gift money, we still have to listen to his orders. Do you think we should make him drink a few more glasses of wine?"

The directors and section chiefs sitting nearby all started to make a noise, "Of course, Director He is bullying customers because of his size, he must be punished!"

"Yeah, we finally got here, but he still has to control us. Is he refusing to listen to his instructions and not letting us leave? Let's get him drunk first!"

Looking at the lively scene, Li Huaide continued, "Forget it. A grown man doesn't know much about these procedures. Let Director Wang take the trouble. But you have to drink a few more glasses of wine later. Director Wang, what do you think? If it's not enough, let him drink a bottle. We all know Director He's alcohol tolerance. Most people really can't do anything to him."

Director Wang smiled and said, "Director Li, I think you want to avoid being alone. These are all workers from your steel mill, so why don't you go up and say a few words."

The two declined for a while, and finally decided that Director Wang would preside over the meeting, and Li Huaide would just say a few words.

But the final result was that everyone agreed that He Daqing must come and drink two bottles of wine later.

He Daqing said he felt no pressure at all regarding the two bottles of wine.

His physical condition had improved again, and he also had the cheat of spatial ability. He could easily handle not only two bottles, but even twenty bottles of wine.
