I went to the printing factory to read the layout of the brochure and added the illustrations, and it was almost evening.

After leaving the printing factory, Xiao Bing lowered his head and said, "Brother Zhong, can you leave after dinner at my house?"

Zhong Yi wanted to visit the Xiao family by the way, and then he happily replied: "Okay, then I'll disturb you."

"What are you disturbing? Just a meal." Xiao Bing smiled sweetly, and immediately led the way with his tiger-headed hand.

Along the way, Xiao Bing kept calling this aunt, that uncle, or Ah Tai, etc. It can be seen that Xiao Bing is very popular in the town.

During this period, it is inevitable that someone would secretly argue about Zhong Yi.

Obviously, these people regard Zhong Yi as the new son-in-law of the Xiao family.

Zhong Yi was so prestigious in the city, but no one in Shi Town knew him.

Soon, the three of them arrived in front of a white-walled courtyard at the west end of the town.

The Xiao family is the richest man in Yin County, so the houses are naturally huge and the population is large.

Seeing the eldest lady bringing a young man back, the servants of the Xiao family and the old mother thought it was a new son-in-law coming to the door, and they all came to greet each other and called him son-in-law.

Xiao Bing didn't explain, but just looked at it with a smile.

Zhong Yi felt a little embarrassed, but he was too lazy to explain because a few servants and old mothers misunderstood that he could not change anything.

But facing Xiao Xianen, Xiao Bing's father, Zhong Yi felt it was necessary to make things clear. Otherwise, he might cause some trouble in the future.

...

"Master Xiao Er!" When I saw Xiao Xianen in the living room, Zhong Yi bowed slightly.

Xiao Xianen was about forty years old, with his hair tied up and wearing a Zhongshan suit, looking very young.

From Xiao Xianen's clothes, I knew that he was an enlightened intellectual, otherwise he would not have sent Xiao Bing to college and would not have been able to develop a daughter like Xiao Bing.

To be honest, Xiao Bing is different from those young ladies who don’t leave the door and don’t get out of the door.

Hearing Zhong Yi's name, Xiao Xianen frowned slightly and asked, "What are you calling me?"

Zhong Yi bowed again and said, "Mr. Xiao Er!"

This title is of particular importance. If Zhong Yi meets Xiao Bing as a friend, then he is a junior and he will call him uncle. But now Zhong Yi calls him Xiao Erye, that is the official title in the business world.

Xiao Xianen immediately looked back at his daughter, and a trace of gloom appeared in Xiao Bing's eyes.

Turning his face again, Xiao Xianen had no good expression when facing Zhong Yi, and he bowed casually and replied: "It turns out that Mayor Zhong is visiting the humble house, and he is lucky to meet."

The foolish men and women in the town did not recognize Zhong Yi, but Xiao Xianen recognized it.

Xiao Xianen knew him on the first day after Zhong Yi arrived in Yinjiang, because he also had a banquet at Chen Mansion that day. Although their Xiao family was the first household in Yin County, they obviously had no way to fight with local snakes like Chen Jinmu, so they could only pinch their noses to eat the meal that day, and then witnessed Zhong Yi's style.

Before this, Xiao Xianen admired Zhong Yi quite well and thought that this young mayor was quite courageous. As soon as he came, he eliminated Chen Jinmu, the local snake, and uprooted the evil forces in Yinjiang.

But now, Xiao Ganen has no longer any favoritism for Zhong Yi.

Zhong Yi could feel the alienation in Xiao Xianen's tone and was speechless.

Still Xiao Bing smoothed out the situation and said, "Dad, Brother Zhong is here to check the printing of the brochure."

"Please rest assured about this matter, Mayor Zhong." Xiao Xianen said, "Our Xiao family has always been based on integrity. Since we promised the city government to print it within two days, we will definitely print it."

Zhong Yi said: "I firmly believe in the integrity of the Xiao family."

Xiao Xianen nodded and said, "It's getting late, so I won't leave Mayor Zhong. Bing'er, please send Mayor Zhong for your father."

Zhong Yi felt even more embarrassed. He originally came to have dinner, but was ordered to be expelled.

"Dad!" Xiao Bing felt sorry for it and said coquettishly, "Can you let Brother Zhong eat before leaving?"

Xiao Xianen picked up the teacup without saying anything, and said in a faint but unquestionable tone: "Send out the guests!"

Zhong Yi had no shame to stay and quickly stood up to say goodbye.

After seeing off Zhong Yi, Xiao Bing complained as soon as he returned to the living room: "Dad, how can you treat Brother Zhong like this?"

"Silly girl." Xiao Xian looked at Xiao Bing lovingly and said, "Dad did this for you?"

"For me?" Xiao Bing said angrily, "If it's for me, you'll go and invite Brother Zhong back for dinner now."

"This is not possible." Xiao Xianen shook his head and said, "Not only will I not invite him back for dinner, but our Xiao family in Yin County will never invite him to come to visit us. You are also not allowed to have any involvement with him."

"Why?" Xiao Bing stomped his feet and said, "I don't want to, I won't!"

Xiao Xianen just shook his head and sighed, but thought to himself, "Silly girl, your dad is a person who has experienced it, can't tell that you already like this person named Zhong?"

But the person named Zhong is about to get married!

How can the daughter of the Xiao family in Yin County be a concubine?

So, while you are not in a deep state, forget him!

...

On the way back to the city government.

Yang Feng asked Zhong Yi while driving: "Mayor, why haven't you eaten at Xiao's house?"

Zhong Yi was upset and said angrily: "Why should I have dinner at Xiao's house?"

Yang Feng was not afraid of Zhong Yi, and chuckled in a low voice: "You said you left without eating. How disappointed Captain Xiao should be in her heart?"

Zhong Yi said: "What are you talking nonsense?"

"I'm not talking nonsense." Yang Feng laughed, "Who can't see Captain Xiao's thoughts?"

Zhong Yi was too lazy to pay attention to Yang Feng anymore, but he looked out the window with disappointment, but Xiao Bing's beautiful face could not be stopped, but it was replaced by Zhang Manyi's pretty face after a while.

Yang Feng said again: "Mayor, what are you worried about in this matter?"

He paused for a moment and said, "Miss Manyi likes you, Captain Xiao likes you too, so you can marry them home together. But I heard that Chief Sun has two concubines."

Chief Sun, whom Yang Feng mentioned, is Sun Liren, the commander of the New 38th Division.

This is actually nonsense. Sun Liren only has one first wife and one concubine.

But Zhong Yi was too lazy to tell Yang Feng because this fool didn't know the difference between his wife and concubine.

To be honest, it is not new for the top senior generals of this era to marry concubines. For example, Yang Sen, the warlord of Sichuan Army and Zhang Zongchang, the warlord of Lu Army, they can't even figure out how many concubines he has. Zhang Zongchang even got the nickname of the Three Wuming General, and they don't know how much money he has, how many soldiers he has, and how many concubines he has.

But Zhong Yi is different from them after all, and Xiao Bing will never be a concubine.
