Chapter 1272: Will It Work?
Princ.i.p.al Cao looked up and smiled at Ye Zhifan. Then, he said to Old Jiang, “Yuxiang can’t handle everything alone. Go and take care of her.”
Yuxiang’s surname was Cao. She was Old Jiang’s wife and was Princ.i.p.al Cao’s niece.
At this moment, Ye Zhifan’s heart was in turmoil. Old Jiang’s relations.h.i.+p with Princ.i.p.al Cao was… uncle and nephew? He investigated Old Jiang’s family and knew that his wife was Grandpa Cao’s niece. However, he didn’t know that Princ.i.p.al Cao was from the Cao family too!
Old Jiang didn’t dare to stay any longer. He secretly gave Ye Zhifan a look. As he walked out, he closed the door of the private room gently. He had just regained his composure when he looked up. He was so frightened by the figure in front of him that he almost fainted.
Qin Xiu, the real Young Master of the Qin family!
Cold sweat started forming on his back. Luckily, luckily… Luckily, Second Uncle didn’t enter and didn’t see Qin Yi sitting inside. Luckily, Qin Xiu didn’t follow him…
“Uncle, my mom is here. I’ll go over first.” Under the bright chandeliers, the tall and handsome Qin Xiu stood in the light like a jade statue. The guests couldn’t help but look over, attracted by his n.o.ble aura.
The real young master of the Qin family was right in front of him. Old Jiang, who was feeling guilty, wiped his cold sweat secretly. Although he was related to the Cao family, he didn’t have any relations.h.i.+p with Qin Xiu.
He didn’t dare to say anything. He brushed past Qin Xiu’s shoulder and left quickly.
Princ.i.p.al Cao noticed that Old Jiang’s expression was a little weird but he didn’t think too much about it. He just thought that Old Jiang was feeling awkward because he accidentally saw the private interaction between him, a businessman, and an official. However, because the official was Ye Zhifan, Princ.i.p.al Cao frowned. He didn’t have a good impression of him so he decided to remind his niece’s husband later.
Princ.i.p.al Cao smiled when he saw his nephew, Qin Xiu, walking towards the stairs. “Your mom came in such a hurry. After dinner, she rushed back to the capital city. She didn’t even stay for one night… I’m afraid your grandpa will nag her. I’ll go and remind her to coax your grandpa.”
After the two of them left, they didn’t notice that the door of the private room behind them had closed slowly. Ye Zhifan, who was still in shock, returned to his seat and chatted with Qin Yi. Then, they casually talked about Princ.i.p.al Cao.
“The Princ.i.p.al Cao you’re talking about is my second uncle. My grandfather has two sons and two daughters. My uncle is ranked third among them.” Qin Yi had always been in contact with the Cao family. Whichever relative Qin Xiu had close ties with, he would also keep in contact with them.
Ye Zhifan felt his heart stiffen. He took a small sip of white wine… If that was the case, it was fortunate that he was cautious. When Princ.i.p.al Cao didn’t give him any face and persuaded Yingying to leave, he had suppressed his anger.
Fortunately, he endured it at that time. Otherwise… he would have made enemies with the Cao Family.
In the private room, they were already talking about Ye Ying’s intention to enter Beijing’s political circle. As a bank card was pushed over, Qin Yi glanced at Sun Dongqing who mouthed the words, “a little token of my appreciation”, and whistled softly in his heart.
It was interesting to interact with officials. Everyone knew how to give gifts.
He took the bank card and smiled confidently. “This is easy. Director Ye, prepare your daughter’s information for me as soon as possible. Based on my experience, it’s not a problem for someone of her temperament to enter the capital city and stay in the capital city.”
“Are you saying that Ye Zhifan wants to send his daughter into Beijing’s political circle?” Princ.i.p.al Cao, who had found a chance, glared at his nephew-in-law coldly. Even his voice was cold. “You don’t have that diamond drill but you dare take on porcelain jobs[1]?”
