Chapter 1270: A Influential Guy
Qin Yi’s lips curled up when his gaze was blocked. He quickly engaged in conversation with Ye Zhifan.
Sun Dongqing forced a smile.
Especially when she saw that the other party kept glancing at her daughter after he sat down, she felt that this person was unreliable. Who would glance at a young lady the moment they entered? Diplomat? He was too rude and frivolous!
“Director Ye, you’re being too polite. I’m just a junior. How can I be worthy of your toast? Every time my father comes back, he would tell me to be more humble outside. I can’t do whatever I want in the name of the Qin family.”
“You are Brother-in-law Jiang’s friend and you are considered my elder. I should be the one toasting you.”
Qin Yi’s appearance was not only deceiving but his eloquent mouth was also deceiving. His words revealed his extraordinary ident.i.ty and allowed Ye Zhifan to find an opportunity to ask what his father was doing.
Ye Zhifan was thinking about confirming Qin Yi’s background when he heard this. He laughed and said, “As expected, only a prodigy from a prestigious family can have such breadth of mind. Young Master Qin is young and promising and you have a family to support you. Your future is limitless. I wonder which politics your father is part of? I must visit him if there’s a chance.”
“My uncle is Qin Wenbo, the amba.s.sador to Russia. Director Ye might not have heard of him, but I think Director Ye has met my brother, Qin Xiu. My brother often came to the Southern Province two years ago. Maybe Director Ye might have met my brother at a certain meeting.”
He didn’t know about Qin Wenbo but he did know Qin Xiu! They had indeed met at a meeting!
Ye Zhifan was enlightened. Old Jiang didn’t lie to him!
He hurriedly said, “No wonder I felt that Young Master Qin looked a little familiar. Turns out you are Translator Qin’s younger brother! Two years ago, Translator Qin and I did meet a few times at big meetings. Unfortunately, Translator Qin was extremely busy at that time and didn’t say much.”
“My elder brother is a busy person. It’s as if I have to ask for permission to speak to him in advance even as his younger brother.” Qin Yi’s smile got deeper. He was wearing a custom-made suit and there was a hint of arrogance in his actions. It made his ident.i.ty even more extraordinary and the smile on Ye Zhifan’s face became more genuine.
Although this Young Master Qin looked frivolous, he was indeed from the Qin family. On a closer look, he looked similar to Qin Xiu.
Old Jiang heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the two of them chatting happily.
Qin Yi called him Brother-in-law because his wife’s surname was Cao and they were related to the Cao family. If one were to look at it in detail, he was actually Qin Xiu’s brother-in-law instead of Qin Yi’s. After all, Qin Xiu’s mother’s surname was Cao.
Qin Yi was just Qin Xiu’s cousin.
“Brother Qin, have a chat with Director Ye first. I will go and see if Old Master Cao is here.” Old Jiang stood up and planned to leave the s.p.a.ce for Qin Yi. “If the Old Master comes, I will come and find you immediately.”
Qin Yi was eager for him to leave. He smiled and said, “Thank you for your hard work, Brother-in-law Jiang.”
Today was Old Master Cao’s 80th birthday. Qin Yi came to congratulate him as a member of the Qin family. How could he be absent?
Ye Zhifan’s gaze flickered slightly. He looked embarra.s.sed and apologized, “Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come here. How about this? If you are still in the provincial city tomorrow night, I will hold a banquet to thank you tomorrow night.”
He might not be able to succeed on the first try, there was a higher chance of succeeding the second time.
