No matter what kind of thoughts Zhou Li and others had, there was no doubt that today was Chen Wenru's eightieth birthday, and that was why Chen Wenru was the core member.
At this moment, Chen Wenru was sitting upright on the grandmaster chair in the middle of the courtyard, while Chen Zhiwen and Chen Zhiwen stood on both sides of him, greeting the guests who were wishing them on their birthday.
"Did you see that? That's Chief Li from the Qingxian's Education Bureau."
"Aiyo, Chief Wang of the Public Security Bureau is here too."
Everything was relative. Although these officials were not much in the Jiang Prefecture, even in the Jiang Bei, they were still the most powerful people in the Qingxian. In the entire Qingxian, each and every one of them had a certain amount of power and influence.
Bureau Chief Li and Bureau Chief Wang walked in front of Chen Wenru and nodded their heads to greet him.
"The Old Master has worked hard and helped our Qingxian cultivate such an outstanding parent official like County Governor Chen. This is the fortune of the people of Qingxian."
The two of them were truly worthy of being old foxes who had fought on the ground for more than twenty years. With a single sentence, they praised even Chen Wenru and Chen Zhiwen once.
Just as Chen Wenru was about to return the gesture, he was lightly pressed on the shoulder by Chen Zhiwen.
Today, Chen Wenru was his birthday, so his position was higher than Chief Wang and Chief Li. Chen Wenru did not need to return the courtesy.
He personally greeted Chief Li with greetings.
"Haha, Old Wang, Old Li, you two are exaggerating a bit. Quickly take your seats and take your seats."
There were some rules regarding the seating arrangements for the birthday banquet. The courtyard was smaller and could only fit eight people, so those who could sit in the courtyard today were all at least at the level of a scholar or a village chief, or some other boss with a price of one million.
Zhou Li brought Chen Liang and Chen Yan to the first table on the right side. Many people surrounded the three of them and praised them, while Chen Fei stood out and spoke nonstop.
"Second aunt, my second uncle really has great ability. He became the Permanent Vice County Governor at the age of forty, and the next step is probably the Deputy Secretary of the County Committee. With your help, he will definitely become the Secretary of the County Committee before the age of fifty."
Chen Liang said as he looked at Chen Fei with disdain.
"What do you know? My grandpa is from the Zhou family, Jiangbei's number one Wealthy Class, and is the deputy mayor. My grandpa is also the governor of Huangjiang Province, and when I was 50 years old, my dad was already in Party Secretary.
Hearing this, everyone was even more flattered by Zhou Li's family of three, their eyes filled with admiration and fawning on them.
"Zhiwen is really rich this time."
Everyone around him sighed as they looked at Zhou Li with envious gazes. It was clear that everyone felt that the reason Chen Zhiwen could achieve what he had achieved today was due to the support of the Zhou Family, who was supporting him behind Zhou Li.
"Haha, Old Chen, why didn't you inform the two of us about Uncle's eightieth birthday? Don't you think you're looking down on the two of us?"
At that moment, another two people walked in through the door.
Seeing these two, the originally calm Chen Zhiwen, including Zhou Li and Director Wang who was seated down earlier, hurriedly stood up from his chair.
"Secretary Liu, County Governor Tang, you two are busy with government affairs. How would my Old Chen dare disturb you two? We were wrong."
Zhou Li had long since become an intelligent person, and in this situation, it could be said that she was like a fish back in water.
However, Zhou Li was still a little surprised.
She had invited Chief Wang and Chief Li before. One of them was a standing committee of the county committee, and was at the same level as Chen Zhiwen. The Director of the Education Bureau was even promoted by Chen Zhiwen himself, so they would definitely come to Chen Jia Village.
However, the Secretary Liu and County Chief Tang were the leaders of the Party and Government. Chen Zhiwen, as the local tyrant of the Qingxian, was a little inferior to them.
Zhou Li felt that her invitation to the two of them was no different from finding a fault with herself. She had not expected the two of them to come uninvited, and happily at that.
However, Zhou Li reacted very quickly.
It must be because the news of the birthday banquet was hosted by the Zhou family that it had reached the ears of the two men. In the Zhou Family of Jiangbei Province, no one dared to not talk about the tiger's skin and skin, and as long as Zhou Guangwen was still in the Huangjiang Province, no one dared to ignore the Zhou family.
Although he was from a branch family of the Zhou family, he was still a man who had achieved greatness.
This Secretary Liu and County Governor Tang must have wanted to use this opportunity to pull some strings with the Zhou family.
Secretary Liu and County Chief Tang were the first to take the seats on the left, as the officials of Qingxian arrived one after another.
Other than a deputy head of the county, all the other members of the Standing Committee had also appeared at the Chen family's table, sitting on the first table on the left.
These people were the peak characters of Qingxian, and today they all appeared in the small courtyard of Chen Jia Village. They were completely shocked by the commoners who came to pay their respects to Chen Wenru.
"Oh my god, Qingxian's standing committee is actually here, this is no longer the face of a newly appointed Vice County Chief for Chen Zhiwen, they are here for the Zhou family."
Everyone exclaimed in astonishment. Countless burning gazes landed on Zhou Li. The Zhou family members were truly powerful.
Feeling the gazes of the crowd, Zhou Li straightened her back, looking like she was the number one in the world.
Chen Liang then looked at Chen Yao and his mother who were seated on the table next to them and said, "Chen Yao, did you see that? This is the ability of my dad and mom. The people who came to pay respects to my grandpa today are all for my dad and my mom's family, and this birthday banquet is also organized by my grandpa's family. Didn't you solemnly swear yesterday that you would give my grandpa a big birthday celebration? I didn't see anyone. "
At the side, Chen Fei added fuel to the fire: "Chen Liang, stop bullying Chen Yao, how can he compare to your family? Now that your father is the Deputy County Governor and your second aunt is a member of Jiangbei's largest family, the Zhou family, many people from the official business community have come to support us. Chen Yao is just a poor student, what kind of ability can he have?"
"That's right. Other than bragging, he has nothing else to boast about. Last night, he even confidently told us all that this road was built by the Zhou family for him. This birthday banquet was also organized by the Zhou family for him."
"Haha."
Everyone treated Chen Yao like a clown, making fun of him in a crazed manner.
A few leaders of the Qingxian, who were seated at the head of the table, also looked at Chen Yao's table.
Bureau Chief Li said, "Vice County Chief Chen's nephew doesn't seem to be too good at dealing with Vice County Chief Chen's son and wife."
The head of the Education Bureau and Chen Zhiwen's relationship was very good, and at this moment, a gossip exploded between them, "Who doesn't know that our Vice Chief Chen relied on Zhou Li's mother to get the position of Deputy Chief Zhou, so everything is up to Zhou Li. This Zhou Li is a spoiled child, and she looks down upon Vice Principal Chen's brother's family, and even asked the Vice Principal to sever their relationship."
"Although this Zhou Li is a bit too much, she is still a member of the Zhou family. Vice Chief Chen is also helpless."
A few people exclaimed.
"Do you guys think that this nephew of Vice County Governor Chen is very similar to another person?" Suddenly, the Secretary Liu spoke.
"Secretary Liu, you know him? What kind of relationship can a poor student have with him? "
Commissioner Wang from the Public Security Bureau turned his head to look at Chen Yao while drinking his wine.
This was the first time he had faced Chen Yao since entering the Chen family's courtyard.
"Whap."
When he saw Chen Yao, it was as if he had seen a ghost. The wine cup in his hand fell onto the table. His eyes were wide open.
"It's him?" How could it be him? "
He looked at Chen Yao in disbelief, losing his composure.
