Chapter 119 Welcome Dinner Northern Frontier Celebrities
Duan Jinshu shook his head helplessly and pointed at Jiang Yanlin, saying, "You, when will you change your bad temper? The old guys in Congress hate and fear you. They flip the table and lose their temper at the slightest provocation. You don't act like a chief congressman at all."
Jiang Yanlin said angrily with his eyes bulging, "When Brother Su was assassinated and the Pang family was gathering the Jiangbei army, I proposed to directly destroy the scourge of the Pang family. These old guys have been trying to stop me from sending troops. Now that Brother Su's only son is a member of Congress, they have jumped out to make excuses and say that Zhengyang is not qualified enough. I have disliked them for a long time. I have said this in advance. If anyone dares to go too far, don't blame me for stepping on his face as if it were a shoe insole!"
Su Zhengyang cast a grateful look at Jiang Yanlin. After spending time together and talking at the table, Su Zhengyang finally understood that Jiang Yanlin really had a good impression of the Su family and was grateful for his father's help. He was definitely a man of character. With the support of Jiang Yanlin, the chief member of Congress, his trip to Beilong City would definitely save him a lot of trouble.
At eight o'clock in the evening, at the entrance of the Northern Xinjiang Central Government's administrative building, countless newspaper reporters were already standing in front of the guards' cordon with photographic equipment. Tonight's welcome dinner for the new congressman was attended by all the heavyweights of the Northern Xinjiang government. Any few photos would make the front page of the newspaper.
A black car stopped at the door. A tall, blond middle-aged man in a black suit, a bow tie and a walking stick in his hand got out of the car with a very hot and beautiful blond girl in an evening gown and walked into the government building.
"This seems to be Mr. Oakley, the English ambassador to the Northern Dragon City, and his daughter Savannah! I didn't expect that he was also invited to this dinner. I thought this dinner should only be open to high-level officials of the Northern Frontier government!"
Oakley walked to the gate and showed his invitation. He was warmly welcomed in by the reception staff and taken to the banquet hall.
In less than five minutes, another car stopped at the door. An old man with a goatee, wearing a Chinese long gown and looking energetic got out of the car. Accompanied by two guards, he walked towards the entrance.
"This guy seems to be the most senior boss of the Hong Gang in Jinggang City. The Chinese Chamber of Commerce under his name has businesses all over China. He is definitely a well-known and influential person."
Soon, another heavyweight figure appeared. Jiang Yanlin's appearance was always so different. For such important dinners and special occasions, others either wore suits and Zhongshan suits or evening gowns. In short, they all dressed up.
Jiang Yanlin was wearing a blue-gray Northeast Army uniform and shiny combat boots. Behind him was a high-spirited-looking young man in a black Zhongshan suit, who accompanied Jiang Yanlin into the government building.
"The man behind Jiang Yanlin seems to be his only son, the young commander of the Northeast Army! Jiang Xuewen, one of the four great young masters of China."
"I didn't expect that Marshal Jiang would come all the way from the Northeast to attend this event. It seems that the rumors are true. Marshal Jiang has a close relationship with Su Zhengyang's father, the former Jiangbei Governor Su Yuting."
Following Jiang Yanlin to the scene was another heavyweight member of Congress.
The General Office of the Northern Frontier Government, the Chief of the Northern Frontier Police System, the Patriarch of the Xiao Family, a prominent family in Northern Dragon City...
The successive arrival of bigwigs was overwhelming, and one could not help but sigh that the birth of a new congressman had caused a stir in the entire Northern Frontier government and even the entire north of China.
Many of the warlord leaders from various major forces also made a special trip to Beilong City to witness the rising star of the youngest congressman in the Northern Frontier.
For example, Yan Baoguo of Yunzhou, Ma Changfang of Xiazhou, Chen Yongren of Dongzhou, Liang Jiaman of Houzhou...
Even Pang Jinghong, who had an irreconcilable blood feud with the Su family, showed up here.
After getting off the car, Pang Jinghong stood there and seemed to have no intention of going in. Instead, he kept looking left and right, as if he was waiting for some important person.
Five minutes later, three cars stopped by the roadside. A short middle-aged man in a suit and tie with a tuft of beard on his philtrum stepped out of the middle car. Pang Jinghong quickly walked up to him and said respectfully, "Mr. Yamaguchi, I have been waiting here for a long time. Let's go in together."
After the middle-aged man nodded lightly, the two began to walk towards the entrance. Pang Jinghong even deliberately gave up half of his body space to let Yamaguchi Hideta, the chief diplomatic officer of the Fuso Empire in China, walk in front. This servile appearance made many Chinese reporters present despise him, and they even cursed in their hearts that Pang Jinghong was the son of the Fuso people.
Soon, another heavyweight figure who attracted everyone's attention appeared. Northern Xinjiang President Yang Jiakai appeared on the scene wearing a simple but decent Zhongshan suit, holding his daughter Yang Qiyue who was wearing a blue and white cheongsam, making the reporters pick up their cameras and take a lot of pictures.
Yang Jiakai's daughter, Yang Qiyue, is tall and has an innate softness of an oriental woman. Against the backdrop of the cheongsam, she looks even more beautiful than any other woman, as graceful and elegant as the peony, the king of central China.
"Could the rumors be true? I heard that the President admires Su Zhengyang so much that he even wants him to be his son-in-law. Otherwise, why would he bring his daughter, Miss Yang Qiyue, to the dinner?"
"Su Zhengyang is now in the limelight. He is the warlord with the brightest future in Northern Xinjiang. He is also a member of Congress. It is understandable that President Yang wants to bring them together."
More than ten minutes later, dozens of guests arrived at the scene one after another. Just when everyone was wondering why they didn't see the real host Su Zhengyang.
The real boss appeared. A military green officer's command car stopped on the side of the road. Su Zhengyang was accompanied by Yan Shuangying, who was guarding his safety closely. He was wearing a black Zhongshan suit, with a straight body, a calm face, and a pair of black eyes that looked extremely deep. He got out of the car with neat movements and walked towards the entrance of the government building with great bearing.
The appearance of Su Zhengyang immediately made the reporters present excited. The most important purpose for them to stay here in the cold winter night was to see the person in front of them, Su Zhengyang, a congressman who was at the center of the storm and had become famous.
"Mr. Su! Can you tell me how you feel about being elected as a member of Congress this time?"
"Mr. Su! The people of Linzhou all call the Northwest Revolutionary Army the true savior. How do you respond?"
"Mr. Su! You were able to become the youngest member of Congress at the age of 23. Is there any unknown inside story or nepotism behind this? Please answer..."
The soldiers on guard set up a defense line and shouted at the reporters who were constantly crowding in: "Back off! Otherwise we will take tough measures."
Su Zhengyang was neither humble nor arrogant, and said with a gentle smile on his face, "Please don't worry, when I officially become a member of Congress, I will stand up and accept interviews from you all."
A dinner party has drawn the attention of all forces in the Northern Frontier to Beilong City. How should Su Zhengyang respond when faced with all kinds of bigwigs who are either well-intentioned, jealous, or targeting him?
