Qin Guomin was stunned upon hearing this.
What important news did she have to tell him?
"Wen'er, what good news do you have to tell your dad?" Qin Guomin asked with a smile.
"Dad, isn't Grandpa's birthday the day after tomorrow? My brother invited Young Master Xia to dinner. Is this considered good news?" Qin Wen said with a chuckle.
"Hmm?"
Qin Guomin's spirits lifted. He almost exclaimed aloud, asking excitedly, "Wen'er, is what you're saying true?"
"Of course. I also told Young Master Xia that his presence at Grandpa's birthday celebration will surely add color to it, and then Young Master Xia agreed. Hehe..."
Qin Wen spoke with a smile, as if it were all her doing.
After getting confirmation from Qin Wen, Qin Guomin praised, "Wen'er, you and your brother have done a very good job this time. I'll inform the family right away. Will you be coming for the early birthday celebration tomorrow evening?"
"Yes, we'll be here tomorrow evening," Qin Wen nodded in agreement.
"Good, good, good. Dad understands," Qin Guomin said "good" three times due to his excitement.
Qin Guomin was the deputy mayor of Modu. Even when the secretary of Modu said he would attend the old man's birthday, Qin Guomin wasn't this excited; instead, he found it rather ordinary.
But upon hearing that Xia Feng would be attending the old man's birthday, he felt an inexplicable excitement.
"Uncle Jiang and Uncle Ma will also be coming. Anyway, everyone here will be going tomorrow," Qin Wen reminded him again.
"Okay, it's great that everyone is coming. We welcome them very much. I'll hang up now and go tell the family. Goodbye." Qin Guomin finished speaking with Qin Wen and hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Qin Wen happily walked into the villa with her mobile phone, winking at her brother Qin Dou, telling him she had already notified their father.
Qin Dou secretly made an OK gesture.
Qin Guomin was still working in his office. After receiving his beloved daughter's call, he was no longer in the mood to work. He quickly tidied up and asked his driver to drive him home immediately.
Qin Guomin's father, Qin Kaihu, was a senior leader in Modu. He was once a powerful figure who had long since retired and was enjoying his retirement at home.
Modu was different from other places. Many former influential figures retired and settled in Modu.
The Qin Family.
Qin Kaihu was playing chess with an old man of the same age. Many guests had already arrived at the house; they were all relatives of the family.
Qin Guomin's father, Qin Guowen, was responsible for entertaining everyone. The family was enjoying a harmonious gathering.
Qin Kaihu had two sons and one daughter. His eldest son was involved in business, his second son had taken over his position, and his third daughter had married the son of a wealthy businessman in Hong Kong and was currently still in Hong Kong and had not returned.
When Qin Guomin returned home, Qin Guowen asked, "Guomin, why are you back so early today?"
Qin Guomin was usually busy with work until eight or nine in the evening, but he had returned before seven.
The true nine-to-five work schedule was for ordinary civil servants. In reality, those in positions of authority worked late every day, which was indeed tough, serving the people.
Especially for a high-ranking official like Qin Guomin, there was always an endless stream of work.
"Brother, where's Dad?" Qin Guomin didn't answer his question but asked where his father was.
"He's in the study playing chess with Uncle Liu," Qin Guowen replied.
"Okay, I'll go tell Dad something important." Qin Guomin said and walked towards the study.
Qin Guowen also followed out of curiosity.
"Hello Uncle Liu, it's been a long time since you've visited our house," Qin Guomin greeted the elder upon entering the study.
"Guomin, you're back," Liu Zuowei nodded with a smile.
"Guomin, why are you back so early today? Your brother is taking care of the relatives at home. What are you back so early for?" Qin Kaihu asked, looking up.
"Dad, I have something important to tell you personally," Qin Guomin said after glancing at Liu Zuowei and thinking for a moment. He decided to speak.
Liu Zuowei was a family friend of theirs, so there was no need to hide things from him as if he were an outsider.
"What is it?" Qin Kaihu asked directly, without any hesitation due to Liu Zuowei's presence.
"Young Master Xia will be coming tomorrow for your early birthday celebration," Qin Guomin said.
Qin Kaihu was aware of Xia Feng. Both his grandson and granddaughter had mentioned him before, and Qin Guomin had also revealed Xia Feng's identity to Qin Kaihu.
Qin Kaihu naturally knew who Young Master Xia was.
"Really?" Qin Kaihu was overjoyed upon hearing this.
"Yes, Wen'er just called me to confirm," Qin Guomin nodded.
"Old Qin, who is this Young Master Xia?" Liu Zuowei asked curiously.
"Old brother, to tell you the truth, we don't know Young Master Xia's specific identity, but we know that he is highly respected by Elder Li, and they interact almost as equals.
If we had to describe his status, it could only be described as unfathomable.
Qin Kaihu did not hide anything from his old brother and spoke frankly.
Although Liu Zuowei was eighty-two years old and had seen many storms, hearing such words from Qin Kaihu made him feel extremely surprised, even shocked.
"Old Qin, to get such an evaluation from you, he must truly be unfathomable," Liu Zuowei said, taking a deep breath.
"Guowen, Guomin, you two go out and warn the younger generation. Tell them that a very important guest will be arriving tomorrow, and they should mind their words and not be disrespectful,"
Qin Kaihu thought for a moment and then instructed.
"Yes, Father," Qin Guowen and Qin Guomin replied simultaneously.
The entire Qin family was on edge due to the news of Xia Feng's arrival the next day, with everyone showing a sense of curiosity.
They wondered which important figure was coming.
To be so highly regarded by the Qin family, it must be either a current big shot from the capital or a former retired one.
The next day arrived as scheduled. Around three in the afternoon, Xia Feng's motorcade departed from Hengtai Real Estate and headed directly towards the Qin family's residence.
The Qin family was already filled with guests, but at this moment, everyone in the Qin family was looking forward expectantly.
Those who were unaware were all curious about which prominent figure would be arriving today.
Those who were aware were a little worried that they might not have done enough and would displease Xia Feng.
To still have such concerns at this level of the Qin family was truly commendable.
Under everyone's expectant gazes, a motorcade finally appeared. It must be the important person that Qin Guomin had mentioned, right?
Qin Guomin and Qin Guowen had already received the news. As they were nearing home, Qin Wen had sent a message to notify them on the way.
Therefore, these two brothers of the Qin family were waiting outside in advance.
As soon as the motorcade stopped, Qin Guomin quickly stepped forward and went to the front car, eagerly opening the door for Xia Feng.
"Young Master Xia, welcome, welcome to our Qin family," Qin Guomin said with a respectful attitude, showing no trace of official authority. He was as respectful as a junior to an elder.
