114 Since When Did You Like to Joke Around? It’s All Real!
No one dared to look at Qin Weiming.
They could only turn their shocked gazes onto Lin Fan.
In fact, Lin Fan did not expect Qin Weiming to come.
“We’re very happy that you’re here,” he said with a smile. “How could you be disturbing us?”
After all, Lin Fan’s original goal was to hold a lively birthday banquet for his grandfather.
The more people came, the better it was.
Qin Weiming nodded and strode forward. He said to Lin Liqiang, “Greetings. I wish you longevity!”
Lin Liqiang was also very clear about Qin Weiming’s identity. Seeing that he personally came to celebrate his birthday, he said happily, “Thank you, thank you!”
He had never thought that there would be so many important people coming to his 70th birthday banquet. He was so excited that he did not know what to say.
Qin Weiming smiled. “I came in a hurry and didn’t prepare any gifts. I wrote a piece of calligraphy as a congratulatory gift. I hope you don’t mind.”
As he spoke, he raised his hand slightly.
The middle-aged man beside him opened a scroll.
On the scroll, the words ‘happiness and longevity’ were written in large characters, and there was a signature on the lower right corner—Qin Weiming!
After seeing this name, everyone’s heart started beating wildly again.
Even though they had already guessed that this old man had an extraordinary background, no one expected it to be the legendary Qin Weiming, Elder Qin!
He was a famous general who had won every battle!
Lin Liqiang used to be a soldier, and the person he admired the most was Qin Weiming!
He had never seen Qin Weiming in person before.
Qin Weiming had even given him a piece of calligraphy.
Lin Liqiang felt like he was in a dream. His entire face was flushed red. He was extremely happy.
After a long time, Lin Liqiang’s hands trembled as he slowly took the scroll.
Then, Qin Weiming turned to Zhou Guotao and smiled. “Guotao, long time no see!”
In fact, Qin Weiming had his own reasons for coming to the birthday party today.
Firstly, Lin Fan had saved his grandson not long ago.
Secondly, he had taken a fancy to Lin Fan’s abilities. Lin Fan could save people, was a mathematician, was the leader of Dragon Division’s Team 10, and so on.
Thirdly, he knew that Zhou Guotao was also coming to celebrate his birthday.
After some consideration, Qin Weiming came.
If the leaders of the Jiang province did not know that Qin Weiming was in their territory, they would not need to accompany him.
However, since they knew, they had to follow him.
That was why there were so many people this time.
As the head of the top family, Zhou Guotao naturally knew Qin Weiming. He smiled and said, “Elder Qin, I thought that the next time I meet you would be National Day…”
The two old men were chatting at the door, while everyone else stood to the side, not daring to make a sound.
At this moment, Qin Weiming asked, “Why are we all standing here? Today’s main character is the birthday boy. Let’s hurry in and sit down.”
How would the crowd dare to disobey him? They all responded.
However, with so many people here, the tables and chairs were not enough.
Hence, the villagers quickly made way and ran towards the west of the village.
Soon, they arrived at Wang Yaping’s house.
At this time, there were more than a dozen tables placed in front of Wang Yaping’s house. They were filled with fragrant dishes, but only a few dozen people were sitting there, so it was very empty.
Wang Yaping, who was sitting at the frontmost table, raised his glass and was about to say something.
At this moment, many villagers suddenly rushed over.
Wang Yaping saw this and could not help but smile.
He thought to himself, ‘It seems that they’ve decided to attend my birthday banquet!’
Wang Yaping opened his mouth and was ready to ask the villagers to sit down.
The next moment, Wang Yaping was stunned.
“This table belongs to my family!”
“These chairs are also…”
Then, the villagers actually put the food on the tables aside and ran out with the tables.
Someone could not help but ask, “What are you doing? Old Man Wang is still holding his birthday banquet!”
Only then did the villagers stop for a moment. They also felt that it was not good to move the tables and chairs away directly.
“The leaders of Qing City and Jiang province have all gone to Old Lin’s house. There aren’t enough tables and chairs there!”
As soon as that person said that, the scene fell silent for a moment.
Someone said, “You… Since when did you like to joke around?”
The big shots of Qing City and Jiang province?
What kind of status was that?
They were definitely big shots?
Would they come to celebrate Lin Liqiang’s birthday?
This was simply impossible!
“Who’s joking? Not only are the leaders of Qing City and Jiang province here, but Leader Qin Weiming is also here!” someone shouted while carrying a table.
Then, he did not say anything more and quickly walked away.
He had to hurry to Lin Liqiang’s house!
It was a rare opportunity to have a meal with so many important people.
If he was a second late, it would be too late to regret it!
The entire scene fell silent again.
Qin Weiming… Elder Qin was here too?
He was the famous general!
Did he come over?
Wang Yaping and everyone else present had disbelief and shock written all over their faces.
At this moment, a loud ring jolted everyone awake.
A middle-aged man who worked in the education field of Qing City looked at the caller ID.
It was his cousin. He had told him in advance that he would be late today and there was no need to wait for him.
“Cousin, why are there so many Audi cars parked in front of Old Lin’s house? And the license plate numbers are A00001, A00002…”
The middle-aged man did not hear the last part of the sentence clearly. It was as if a cannonball had exploded beside his head, causing a buzzing sound.
Wang Yaping, who was standing next to him, sat down on a chair. He was extremely dejected and panicked.
Wang Yaping had already heard the voice on the phone clearly.
He knew that what the villagers had said was true.
The leaders of Qing City and Jiang province… as well as Qin Weiming and the others were probably really here!
He had actually fought with Lin Liqiang for so many years.
This was really… He was really looking for death!
…
At this moment, the front door of Lin Liqiang’s house was filled with tables.
Lin Liqiang sat in the main seat at the request of Qin Weiming, Zhou Guotao, and the others.
Zhang Guidan, Qin Weiming, Zhou Guotao, Lin Tao, Dai Weixue, Lin Fan, Lin Xiaoyao, and the leaders of the Jiang province sat down.
The villagers were at other tables, casually surrounding them.
Soon, the fragrant dishes were slowly served after the three chefs were done cooking.
“Let us wish the birthday boy good health!” Qin Weiming raised his glass.
Immediately, everyone raised their glasses and shouted, “We wish the birthday boy good health!”
Lin Liqiang’s entire mouth was already smiling from ear to ear as he happily said, “Thank you, thank you, everyone!”
Then, everyone drank the wine in their glasses.
At this moment, a clear notification rang out in Lin Fan’s mind.
