C1754 Uncle Dong
Although the old man looked ordinary, he was as thin as a stick, and there were black spots on his face. He looked weak and weak.
However, the old man's silver hair was neat and tidy. His status in the Song Family was definitely not lower than Meng Ran's two uncles. He could be considered the strategist of the Song Family, and he usually provided suggestions and strategies for Soong Zhengde. He was in charge of the overall situation.
In Yanjing City, there was no one who did not know about Uncle Dong. He could be considered a very important person. Even the provincial government officials had to be respectful and humble when they saw this old man.
Seeing that Meng Ran and Soong Shuling were finally willing to meet, Uncle Dong, who looked like he wanted to see through them, quickly came forward and held Soong Shuling's hand tightly. He sighed with emotion.
"Xiaoling, since you left the Song Family, eighteen years have passed in the blink of an eye! I didn't expect that even Ran has grown so big now."
As he spoke, Uncle Dong sized up Meng Ran from head to toe. When he saw that Meng Ran wasn't as handsome and divine as the rumors said, but was just an ordinary eighteen year old youth, he couldn't help but furrow his brows, but didn't dare show it at all.
He even had a friendly smile on his face as he complimented.
"Young Master Ran is truly a talent with a graceful bearing. No wonder the old master has always praised Xiaoling for having a good son."
Others didn't know Meng Ran's identity. However, Uncle Dong knew it very well.
Jiangbei Immortal Master Meng , First One On Heavenly List of Huaxia, and the new head of the Special Department! If Meng Ran's name was really put on display, it would definitely scare people to death.
Uncle Dong even heard from Soong Zhengde that he was the head of the nine great families, the patriarch of the Yin family. He had taken a liking to this young man and wanted to recruit him!
"Uncle Dong is too kind. I am just a commoner. I do not deserve such praise." Meng Ran placed his hands behind his back, and his gaze was as calm as a lake as he spoke in a flat tone.
Chief Steward's attitude towards the Song Family was neither warm nor cold. It was no different from seeing an ordinary person whom he had never met before.
"I am not exaggerating. Young master Ran, you are being modest. You are now the head of the special department, and you are a general. Strictly speaking, when I see young master, I have to call Department Head Meng."
Uncle Dong said with a smile. His posture was extremely low, and his words were full of flattery and politeness.
As the saying goes, when you reach out your hand, you don't hit a smiling person. Uncle Dong deliberately put on such a posture, and Meng Ran really did not want to make things difficult for him.
"Uncle Dong, you have also heard about Ran becoming the special department head?" Soong Shuling was quite surprised.
"Of course, young master Ran could successfully become the department head. It was the old man who supported him with all his might. For young master Ran, the old master had said a lot of good things in front of those big shots. His mouth was almost ground to pieces. Now that young master Ran had succeeded in taking over the position of minister, the old master was extremely happy in his heart. Let's just say that he has a good grandson."
This Uncle Dong really had a glib tongue. When these words came out of his mouth, even Meng Ran looked at him with some surprise.
No wonder he is Soong Zhengde's trusted subordinate. This man is unfathomable. Even Pei Jun and Shen Tiannan would be fooled by him.
Meng Ran thought to himself.
"Dad, he... he really admitted that Ran is his grandson? He... he doesn't blame me anymore?"
Soong Shuling's eyes were watery. She muttered in disbelief, as if she had finally fulfilled her dream of reuniting with her family for more than ten years.
