Chapter 359: Graduation Banquet 4

Translator: Lonelytree

‘When the principal of No. 1 high school, Li Xunquan, and the other teachers found out that several of the county’s leaders had gone to attend Xiao Lingye’s graduation banquet, they felt both excited and helpless.

‘They were told to wait for the Xiao Family to hold the teacher appreciation banquet, so they didn’t attend the graduation banquet. However, now that the county leaders were at Taoyuan Village, they felt like they should go too.

“Principal, why are we going over today? Aren’t we waiting for the Xiao family’s teacher appreciation banquet happening tomorrow?” Vice Principal Liu asked.

Principal Li said, “Let’s go over now. A few county leaders are already there. We need to go and accompany them.” After all, the county leaders wouldn’t attend the teacher appreciation banquet tomorrow.

Since principal Li had made up his mind, the other staff joined him. Of course, not all the teachers went. Some of them would wait for the banquet tomorrow. After all, the Xiao Family had already invited them to the banquet tomorrow.

‘Therefore, when Gu Ziye and the others arrived at Taoyuan Village, they saw the county leaders as well as the principal and staff from No 1 High School.

“Buck. Didn’t they say the teacher appreciation banquet is tomorrow? Why are they all here today?” Qian Yifan couldn’t help but complain, “Then, will these people still attend the teacher appreciation banquet tomorrow?”

Yuan Xuanhao glanced at Qian Yifan and said, “These teachers must have heard that your father and the others are here. That’s why they came.”

Even the principal of No. 1 High School didn’t have much chance to interact with the big county leaders. This time, their students had made them proud, so of course, they had to come to give support.

Zheng Haiyang asked with some worry, “These people are probably not part of the Xiao family’s guest list. Will they have enough food?”

“Hehe, my dad and the others are so busy. They won’t stay for dinner. They will probably chat and then leave.”

Zheng Haiyang pursed his lips and said, “That’s not necessarily true. Qian Yifan, we have all eaten the food prepared by Xiao Lingye’s mother. If Auntie is the chef, your dad and the others might stay for dinner.”

After all, Xiao Lingye’s mother was too good at cooking. The food she prepared was really delicious.

Not many people could resist it could resist the temptation of her cooking.

Qian Yifan said with some uncertainty, “That can’t be.”

“ll bet you two packets of dried beef that they’d stay.” Zheng Haiyang said with confidence.

Qian Yifan gritted his teeth and said, “Fine. You have a deal!”

He secretly prayed in his heart that his father would not be tempted by the delicious food.

‘When Zheng Haiyang and the others arrived, the village was bustling and nervous because of the arrival of a few big leaders from the county. The atmosphere was… strange.

After all, the majority of the guests were rural people. They had never come into contact with any big shots in their life. The county leaders were the most important people they had met in their lives. Their hearts were filled with curiosity, nervousness, and fear.

They only dared to watch from afar. From time to time, they would lower their heads and whisper to the people next to them. In the future, they could gloat to others that they had been to the same banquet as the county leaders.

Of course, they were more envious of Xiao Zhengyang’s family.

‘What great honor did they have? Their son was admitted to Imperial University, and even the county leaders came to congratulate them.

Xiao Zhengyang and his family chatted enthusiastically with the leaders. This made the villagers and the Xiao Family’s in-law firm up their conviction that they shouldn’t offend Xiao Zhengyang.

The man was connected to the county leaders!

The kitchen was working overtime.

After Qian Guoxin chatted with Xiao Zhengyang and his son, he looked at Elder Gong and asked curiously, “Father Xiao, that elder doesn’t look like a local. Where is he from?”

Xiao Lingyu, who was watching from afar, raised her eyebrows.

‘Finally, he gets to the real reason he is here. Speaking of which, Qian Guoxin is quite sharp.

‘He can tell at a glance that Elder Gong is extraordinary.’

Xiao Zhengyang wasn’t very clear about Elder Gong’s and Gong Tianhao’s identities.

But he could faintly tell that they had some power and influence.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to scare off the development company from City Z so easily.

However, Xiao Zhengyang was just a farmer. He didn’t know much about politics.

‘When Qian Guoxin asked about Elder Gong, Xiao Zhengyang answered, “Oh, you mean Old Master Gong? He’s here to recuperate.”

“An outsider who came here to recuperate?” Qian Guoxin repeated.

Before this, Taoyuan Village was the poorest mountain village in the country. An outsider couldn’t just move here without a certain amount of power to set up a foundation here.

Xiao Zhengyang nodded and replied, “Old Master Gong isn’t a local.”

As for where he came from, he really didn’t know.

He only knew that his family was rich and had a bunch of bodyguards.

Of course, Xiao Zhengyang was smart enough not to mention this to Qian Guoxin.

Qian Guoxin saw that Xiao Zhengyang had no intention of introducing him to the old man, so he didn’t press.

If the elder were of a certain status, it would be rude for Xiao Zhengyang to make the introduction without the elder’s consent.

Qian Guoxin was not mad. He turned to Xiao Lingye and said, “Mr. Xiao has been admitted to Imperial University. When you become successful in the future, don’t forget about our hometown.”

Xiao Lingye smiled and said, “Of course not! In the future, I will come back to contribute to our hometown.” They loved this place. So if they had the ability to improve it, they would.

“Yes, that’s good.” Qian Quoxin nodded. Just as he was about to say something else, the principal of No. 1 High School came over with his subordinates.

After Principal Li was led into the room, he first congratulated Xiao Lingye when he saw him. He said, “Student Xiao Lingye, congratulations on being admitted to Imperial University and becoming the top scorer of science in City Z. Congratulations!

“Congratulations to Father Xiao for raising such an outstanding child too.”

“Thank you, Principal!” Xiao Lingye replied politely.

“Thank you, Principal!” This wasn’t the first time Papa Xiao had met the principal. He replied, “I also need to thank the principal and teachers for looking after my son. If it weren’t for your hard work, my son wouldn’t have achieved such outstanding results.”

Xiao Lingye was indeed outstanding, but no matter how outstanding a person was, he still needed to be nurtured.

Ever since Xiao Lingye entered No 1 High School, his results had always been at the top. Naturally, he was highly valued by the school.

The staff was very happy listening to Father Xiao’s words. After all, Father Xiao did not deny their contributions.

Now that there was a precedent like Xiao Lingye’s, their prestige would rise even higher in the future.

The other teachers also congratulated the Xiao Family.

Principal Li looked at Qian Guoxin and said with a smile, “Leader Qian, I didn’t know that you guys would come. Otherwise, I would have definitely come with you.”

Qian Guoxin said, “It is not often that Xing Yin County has such a prestigious student. I heard that they are hosting a graduation banquet, so we came to congratulate Mr. Xiao.”

“Haha, that’s true! We came for the same reason.” Principal Li laughed out loud.

Xiao Zhengyang led these people to their seats and said, “Principal Li, please take a seat.”

There were ten people sitting at a table, Qian Guoxin’s group, Principal Li’s group, as well as Xiao Zhengyang and Grandpa Xiao, and the table was full.

After Principal Li sat down, Qian Guoxin thought of what he wanted to ask earlier.

He asked, “Father Xiao, I heard that your family wanted to book the Taoyuan Village’s mountains a while ago?”
