Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1514: Chapter 886: Triple-Combo Chapter

After Vice Chairman Qian stepped down, he signaled Secretary Xiao Liu to hand him a small glass of red wine and came smiling to the main table, looking first at Mr. Wen and Old Mrs. Wen: ”Old Wen, Madam, I originally planned to visit your residence. Since I encountered you here, I won’t disturb you.”

Mr. Wen stood up and nodded politely: ”Chairman Qian is too courteous, this old man cannot accept such honor.”

”You are an elder, it’s appropriate. But today is a happy occasion for Xiao Qi and Xiao Yue, joy takes precedence...” As Vice Chairman Qian spoke, he looked towards Qi Xing and Yue Qin, ”Xiao Qi, Xiao Yue, since I, the old man, have caught up, may I have a glass of celebratory wine?”

”Chairman, your presence is our blessing. Wish you good health and all the best!” Qi Xing said while downing his drink in one go. Seeing this, Yue Qin quickly followed suit.

”Chair... man... good...”

Having never seen such an occasion before, Mr. Qi and Mrs. Qi greeted him with trembling voices, but Granny Qi calmed down quickly after a moment of panic: ”Chief, would you like some food?”

”Chairman, this is my grandma.” Qi Xing quickly introduced.

Luo Lian couldn’t help but move beside Luo Ye, whispering: ”This old lady has really spent her whole life in the small village? Her performance... she’s not intimidated at all!”

”I’ll explain in detail later.”

”Sure.” Luo Lian responded, stepping back behind Yue Qin. Jerry had left Wenxin Garden after helping with the makeup, and she was responsible for the touch-ups and costume changes.

Vice Chairman Qian showed great respect for the old lady, and after finishing his drink, he signaled Secretary Liu to hand him a pair of chopsticks, smiling as he looked at Granny Qi: ”Grandma Qi, you eat too.”

Xing Nongyao just quietly pursed his lips. Both he and Yaoguang were aware of some of Vice Chairman Qian’s small gestures, hence they had no good impression of him. His so-called ”friendly” actions only made him feel disgusted.

Xia Yingru stood with her head lowered behind the group, wishing to become invisible. Her thought was, she had failed the task entrusted by her uncle-in-law and even betrayed him, she had no face to meet him...

After having a few bites, Vice Chairman Qian toasted Mr. Wen and Old Mrs. Wen again, lowering his voice to them: ”Old Wen, Madam, I feel out of place here, I won’t stay long. I sincerely hope the relationship between us can significantly improve.”

”Haha...” Mr. Wen chuckled, his gaze shifting to Qian Xia behind Secretary Liu, ”Chairman, today is Xiao Qi and Xiao Yue’s big day, we’ll talk about other things later, shall we?”

”Alright.” Vice Chairman Qian responded, signaling Secretary Liu to fill his glass, then stepping backward with a toast to the hall, loudly said: ”I offer a toast to the venerable elders present, wishing everyone fortune as vast as the East Sea and longevity as enduring as the Southern Mountain.”

”Thank you, Chairman!”

”Wishing the chairman good health!”

”...”

...

Putting down his glass, Vice Chairman Qian led the way out, chatting with one person, conversing with another along the way, executing the friendly chairman persona perfectly.

Seeing the opportunity, Secretary Liu quietly approached Luo Ye, whispering: ”Xiao Luo, accompany the chairman for a tour of the nursing home.” The implication was clear that others should not follow.

Since this matter had to be faced sooner or later, and Luo Ye was prepared for a talk with him, he nodded: ”No problem.”

Once the group left, the atmosphere in the hall became even more lively.

”Xiao Xing truly exudes promise.”

”Indeed, he’s the pride of our village.”

”See who dares to gossip recklessly now.”

”Exactly, with the chairman here, it shows Xiao Xing and Qinzi’s marriage has national support.”

”Seventh Grandpa, you truly know how to speak, that’s spot on.”

”...”

Relatives and friends in the village discussed among themselves, and there were those who couldn’t sit still, carrying their wine glasses to the main table to toast Mr. Qi and Mrs. Qi, naturally offering only praise.

Over the years, Mr. Qi and Mrs. Qi had never received such treatment here in the village, leaving them somewhat overwhelmed. Regardless of who came to offer a toast, they raised their glasses and drank heartily.

But Granny Qi couldn’t bear to watch anymore, and thus glared at the pair: ”Drink less. There are dozens from the village here, are you two planning to be carried back after such a joyful day?”

Mr. Qi chuckled: ”Mom, this wine is sweet, it won’t get us drunk.”

”You can’t drink it as if it’s water.” Granny Qi glared at her son, looking at those offering toasts, ”These two will help if they can, and won’t trouble themselves if they can’t.

We’re all family, there’s not much protocol. Drink more if you can, but don’t force yourself if you can’t. Everyone knows the extent of our family’s influence”
