No longer need Gu Yangyang to take action, Zhang Daren's knife skills have shocked the ancient and modern times, which have shocked the chefs of Zijin Pavilion. Now no one will doubt what Gu Yangyang said just now. If Zhang Yangyang said that he had the second best knife skills in the world, no one dared to be the first. It is extremely difficult to cut water tofu into shreds, not to mention that it is even more difficult to cut Gu Yangyang's tender palm directly. The palm is uneven, and the mastery of knife skills must be just right. If you are not careful, not only will it not be able to cut the shreds, but it may also hurt Gu Yangyang's skin. However, after Zhang Yang cut a piece of water tofu, Gu Yangyang was unscathed. This kind of knife skills is too amazing.

At the same time, these people also admire Gu Yangyang's courage. If it were others, they really didn't have the courage to extend their hands and provide them to Zhang Yang as a chopping board.

After watching the performances of the two, Yuan Fang was really impressed. He didn't have that kind of ability. The one invited by Feng Jingliang was indeed an expert.

Feng Jingliang came to invite Zhang Yang and Gu Yangyang to have a meal. Zhang Yang said to Yuan Fang: "Master Yuan, I'll leave this dish to you, and we have other things to discuss."

Yuan Fang was extremely convinced by Zhang Yang at this moment. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, Master Zhang!"

Back in the room, Feng Jingliang conveyed what he had just heard to Xue Weitong and Xu Jianji. The two of them regretted missing the wonderful performance just now. Xue Weitong even went to the kitchen to find a piece of tender tofu and asked Zhang Yang to perform on the spot for him.

Zhang Yang said: "The purpose of cooking is to make delicious food, not to perform. My knife skills are not practiced in the kitchen."

Xu Jianji said: "When it comes to serious business, Weitong and I are talking about the arrangement of tomorrow's banquet. Third brother, your godmother and others will be with Mr. Xue tomorrow."

Zhang Yang couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he heard this, "That... I was about to tell Weitong that my godfather would not be able to leave the government affairs tomorrow, and my godmother would not be able to get through, but they asked me to bring gifts."

When Xue Weitong heard that Wen Guoquan and his wife were not here, they felt a little uncomfortable. The political status of the Xue family determines that these children are very proud in their bones. Although Xue Weitong rarely reveals it, she believes that since the family has made an invitation, it is to give others enough face, and she did not expect that someone would not come. In fact, before Wen Guoquan said that he could not attend, there were several people who refused to come if he had something to come, which made Xue Weitong inevitably have some thoughts of being in a cold world. In front of Zhang Yang, the sworn brother, Xue Weitong did not reveal it, after lunch.

Gu Yangyang went back to the kitchen to prepare, and she told Zhang Yang not to go for the time being. Xue Weitong went home to discuss the list.

Xu Jianji and Zhang Yang went to Feng Jingliang's office to have tea.

Feng Jingliang said: "It seems that there are variables. Just now, Mr. Xue told me that there were fifteen people who were sure that they could not come." Feng Jingliang was very ordinary and natural when he said this, but he didn't think so. Now it is different from the past. Now Mr. Xue has retired. The eldest son of Mr. Xue's children is the eldest son of his eldest son who serves as the secretary of the Qiannan Provincial Party Committee. The Xue family can be described in the political arena as the four words "powerlessness in succession". Although Xue Shilun is doing a good business, his economic status may not be equated with his political status.

Xu Jianji pursed his lips and whispered: "Actually, I didn't have time to say just now that my father would not come tomorrow, but he would call Mr. Xue to pay his birthday to him."

The three of them looked at each other, and their expressions were strange. In their opinion, there was only one reason why these real power figures could not choose. Mr. Xue has now retired. He no longer had the influence of his past in politics.

Feng Jingliang said: "Everyone is very busy lately."

Xu Jianji said: "The return of July 1st is coming soon, so it is normal for me to be busy. My father wants to come, but official duties are not allowed. I am just worried that Weitong will have any thoughts because of these things?"

Zhang Yang was also worried about this. He put down the teacup in his hand and said, "I never understand why Uncle Xue insisted on congratulating Mr. Xue's birthday."

Xu Jianji said: "It is necessary to celebrate the birthday, but there is no need to do a grand celebration."

Feng Jingliang didn't say anything. He was older and it would be better not to evaluate such things. After all, Zhang Yang, Xu Jianji and Xue Weitong are sworn brothers and sisters. It doesn't matter what others say, but if he accidentally says something, it will definitely be bad to reach Xue Weitong's ears.

Xu Jianji said: "Most of the guests who came were invited by Uncle Xue, and only two of them were invited by Mr. Xue himself."

"who?"

"Old Zhou and Old Qiao."

Old Qiao sat in his collection room and quietly admired his stones. He heard the sound of footsteps and easily judged from the sound that it was Qiao Zhenliang who came in.

Qiao Zhenliang was holding a piece of agate in his hand.

Old Qiao smiled and said, "Take it to me."

Qiao Zhenliang handed the agate into his father's hands: "Dad, this is what Ji Chang found for you."

Old Qiao picked up the agate and looked at it, then put it aside, and whispered: "Why didn't he come here to give it to me by himself?"

Qiao Zhenliang said: "The school has been very busy recently, so he asked the driver to send it here."

Mr. Qiao said: "No matter how busy you are, remember to come and see me often. Where is Shi Wei? Why has that crazy girl not come recently?"

Qiao Zhenliang said: "She is in love recently. Xiao Guo has come from Dongjiang. She has been wandering around the capital these two days."

Old Qiao smiled and nodded and said, "Okay, okay, this girl has finally been determined. I haven't seen Xiao Guo yet. Please turn around and contact Shi Wei and the others, let them come to their house for dinner, and let me, the grandfather, help him with his eyes."

Qiao Zhenliang said, "Okay, I'll call her back." After he finished speaking, he paused and said, "Dad, check Jinnan today and talked to me."

Old Qiao did not feel any surprise and said calmly: "What do you think?"

Qiao Zhenliang said: "I will complete the handover of the affairs of the Ministry of Agriculture in the shortest time. I will go to Jinhai City to act as the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee at the end of this month."

Old Qiao said: "Is it settled?"

Qiao Zhenliang said: "It's settled."

Mr. Qiao said: "Before you take office, call all your family back and get together well. We must let Mengyuan come back."

Qiao Zhenliang nodded, and he whispered: "I'll call Zhang Yang later and ask him to tell Meng Yuan."

"You can tell me when you talk between father and daughter? Why are you going back more and more after living?" Old Qiao frowned, his face full of displeasure.

Qiao Zhenliang said: "She has always blamed Chuanmei's death on me. In her heart, I am the culprit for killing her mother, not her father."

"Stop!" Old Qiao shouted angrily, his voice trembling in Qiao Zhenliang's heart.

Old Qiao pointed at him and said, "The blood is connected, she is your flesh and blood. As a father, you don't know your daughter so much. Do you know how much Mengyuan loves you? Even if the estrangement is only temporary, can you say that you have no responsibility for Chuanmei's death? Do you dare to say that you have fulfilled the responsibility of a father? No! Since Chuanmei's death, you have not made any substantial move to repair the relationship between father and daughter for so long!"

Qiao Zhenliang was entangled and painful inside. His father did not understand the truth. How much pain he had suffered over the years?

Mr. Qiao seemed to realize that his words were a little too heavy, and his tone eased: "Zhenliang, although Chuanmei has left, the family is still there. You still have a son, daughter, brothers and sisters, and me. You are the pillar of this family. You have to bear the responsibility of the entire Qiao family."

Qiao Zhenliang nodded and said, "Dad, I understand, I will do my best to do my best."

Old Qiao said: "Tomorrow at noon, I will make an appointment with your Uncle Zhou, and you can come with me."

Qiao Zhenliang said in surprise: "Dad, didn't you agree to go to Mr. Xue's place?"

Old Qiao shook his head and said, "If you don't go tomorrow, let Tiankuo go over and give him a gift."

Qiao Zhenliang knew what his father's decision meant. He and Mr. Zhou met tomorrow. In other words, neither of them would appear at Mr. Xue's birthday party, which is absolutely not ordinary.

There are always many intimate words between father and son. Although tomorrow is the birthday, Mr. Xue still went to climb the Great Wall this afternoon with great enthusiasm, and only his son Xue Shilun accompanied him.

This Great Wall was not open to the public. Mr. Xue stood on the beacon tower, and the legend was obviously a bit urgent.

Xue Shilun handed his father a bottle of water. Old Xue waved his hand and signaled him to hand over the camera to himself. Then he chose a few suitable angles to take more than ten photos. After all this, Old Xue returned to his son with satisfaction: "These photos must be quite amazing when washed out."

Xue Shilun smiled and said, "Dad, you are like what you do."

Mr. Xue said, "What nonsense is not like, it's professional. In terms of photography, I am much more professional than you."

"Okay, okay, dad, you are professional, you are a professional photographer." Xue Shilun handed the water over again.

Mr. Xue took a few sips and leaned against the city wall: "Have you arranged everything tomorrow?"

Xue Shilun said: "I didn't make much arrangements, so I sent the invitation out. As for the banquet, I handed it over to Tongtong. She is so old that she can handle these small things with ease."

"It's not interesting to be so big. Just get together and celebrate with a beautiful celebration. Everyone must know that the invitation was sent out, but in the end, if no one comes, our Xue family will lose face."

Xue Shilun smiled and said, "It's our rude thing not to invite, it's our rude thing, it's our rude thing not to come. Dad, if you are asked to choose, do you hope our Xue family will be rude or others will be rude?"

Mr. Xue smiled indifferently and said, "I never like to owe others in my life."

Xue Shilun said: "I don't like to owe others either."

"Like me!"

Xue Shilun said: "I heard that Qiao Zhenliang has decided to be the secretary of the Jinhai Municipal Party Committee."
