On August 21, Chu Tianqi set off from Chengkang City early and rushed to Yanyun City, where he was going to attend the wedding celebration of his classmate Xiao Wanting.

It was less than seven o'clock when we set off from Chengkang City, and under normal circumstances, we could arrive in Yanyun City at ten o'clock at most. However, when there was still 30 kilometers away from the provincial capital, there was a car accident ahead, and the traffic police closed the road, and the "Santana 2000" had to wait in place with other vehicles. After about an hour, traffic resumed, and all the cars started slowly. When the traffic was smooth, it had reached the exit of Yanyun City, and "Santana 2000" got off the highway and drove into Yanyun City.

Seeing that the time was almost eleven o'clock, Chu Tianqi said, "Go directly to Yanyun Mansion." ”

Saying "Okay", Lijian skillfully manipulated the steering wheel.

Yanyun Building is already far away, but the road in front is extremely blocked, and each car can only move forward at a snail speed.

I looked at my watch again, it was already 11:40, and I went forward like this, specifying that I had missed the time. Chu Tianqi decisively decided to change the means of transportation from "four wheels" to "11 roads".

Getting out of the car and slowly drilling through the narrow gap between the vehicles, Chu Tianqi arrived on the sidewalk. Then he ran away and went straight to the Yanyun Building.

The driver and passengers were looking around boredly, when they suddenly saw a big man running desperately forward, and the direction was the Yanyun Building, which at this time erected a red arch and floated out of the festive music. People suddenly had a big brainstorm, and almost all of them thought of the scene in the TV series: the male protagonist is running to the wedding scene of his ex-girlfriend, while his other half is holding hands by other men, and greeting the guests with a smile. The next episode is: the hero comes directly to the scene, grabs his ex-girlfriend's hand from the man's hand, and says, "You can't marry him, you belong to me", and the ex-girlfriend sees the arrival of her ex-boyfriend, she is both happy and painful, crying, and saying "No, no, you go, I don't have you in my heart, I never have you".

Due to the extremely fast running of the "male protagonist", coupled with the obstruction of trees and signs on the side of the road, people can no longer see the "male protagonist", but the plot is still being written in their minds, and even expect the "male protagonist" to run with the hooded wedding dress "ex-girlfriend" in their sight.

Chu Tianqi would never have thought that he would be choreographed into such a poignant and romantic paragraph. All he wanted to do now was to arrive at the scene early and send his blessings before the wedding ceremony officially began. Having already arrived at the area of Yanyun Mansion, Chu Tianqi stopped his running pace and stopped to look.

Under the red "Xi" color arch, the band is still performing passionately. With their backs to the color arches, a couple is walking towards the automatic door of the hotel, accompanied by close relatives and friends.

It's not late, but it's not early, Chu Tianqi understands that after the newlyweds have finished welcoming them at the door, they are going to the wedding banquet site, and the on-site ceremony should start soon. This time, he could not continue to run, but walked with his legs up and at a gallop.

Suddenly, Chu Tianqi found that the bride, who was about to enter the automatic door of the hotel, suddenly turned her head and looked at herself, the bride was Xiao Wanting, a classmate of the party school.

Chu Tianqi quickened his pace again and headed for the newcomer.

The bride not far away waved frequently, dragged her grown wedding dress, and greeted her.

There was no scene expected by those spectators on the road, Chu Tianqi came to the front and sent sincere blessings to the two newcomers: "Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to the two newcomers for getting married!"

Xiao Wanting also put away her stubbornness, and said with a happy face: "Thank you, Mayor Chu, thank you for coming in your busy schedule." As he spoke, he turned his head to the side, "This is the classmate Chu Tianqi I talked to you about." ”

The groom next to him was dignified, and he was a good match for Xiao Wanting, and when he heard the bride's introduction, he immediately stretched out his right hand: "Mayor Chu, thank you very much for coming to the wedding." I often hear Wanting mention you and say that you take good care of her, and she says that you will definitely come. ”

A person walked out of the hotel quickly, it was Chu Tianqi's classmate, Yu Tao from the Yanyun Municipal Government Office. He laughed at his old classmate: "Mayor Chu, why are you sweating profusely, it can't be from Chengkang, right?"

"Almost, but not that far. Chu Tianqi also laughed, "The road is full of cars, and it doesn't seem to be far, but I can't go, so I have to come here once." ”

"Really?" Yu Tao asked with a smile, then turned his head to the two newcomers, "You go up first, the master of ceremonies is waiting, and we will talk a few more words." ”

"Okay, don't miss the ceremony. After Xiao Wanting's instructions, she went upstairs with the groom, accompanied by relatives and friends.

Seeing that a couple of newcomers had already entered the building, and there were no other acquaintances beside him, Yu Tao smiled "hehe": "This guy is worthy of being an old classmate and a good friend. ”

Hearing that the other party deliberately aggravated the tone of "old" and "good", he knew that the other party meant something, but Chu Tianqi pretended not to know: "Since everyone is here, why should it be delayed?

Yu Tao raised his eyebrows: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, the Provincial Party School is telling the story of 'Heroes Save Beauty', it is said that the heroine has never forgotten her life-saving benefactor, and has always been ready to make a promise." ”

Chu Tianqi looked around vigilantly: "Pure nonsense, the dignified chief is still chewing his tongue." With that, he walked towards the automatic door of the hotel.

"Facts speak louder than words. Yu Tao sighed and chased forward, "The dignified mayor is in charge, the wind can't blow, the rain can't be drenched, and the air conditioning and cars are waiting all day long. Look at the present, in order to hurry up, Leng is sweating profusely, pouting and panting, how anxious he is. ”

Chu Tianqi lowered his voice: "No wonder people say that secretaries love to ponder people, I only thought it was a minority, I only thought it was a grassroots person, but I didn't expect the secretary to be like this, and the word 'more' was added." ”

"It's really hurtful, no dirty words. Yu Tao punched the other party, "Mayor, I'm tired, I'll drink two more glasses with you in a while to make up for it." ”

Chu Tianqi smiled "hehe": "Drink, no problem, you have a glass and I have a cup." ”

"you, isn't that going for my life?" Speaking of this, Yu Tao changed the topic, "By the way, what about the driver?

"I'm not going back, the driver is back. As he spoke, Chu Tianqi pressed the button of the sightseeing elevator.

"Then I'll arrange a place for you. Yu Tao said, took out his mobile phone and dialed, "Sheraton?"

……

At the entrance of the multi-purpose hall, the gift money was recorded, and Chu Tianqi and Yu Tao walked into the hall.

All the lights in the hall were turned off, only the colorful stage lights shone brightly, and the music suddenly stopped. At the same time, a spotlight lit up, and the circle of light slowly moved back and forth in the hall.

Chu Tianqi knew that the ceremony was about to begin.

Under the guidance of Yu Tao, Chu Tianqi found his position, and he found that the surroundings were full of acquaintances, all old classmates. Everyone stood up to say hello, attracting all the eyes in the hall. Chu Tianqi hurriedly sat down and motioned for everyone not to stand up.

The music sounded, the stage lights flickered and swayed, and the wedding master of ceremonies appeared. Chu Tianqi looked at the time on his watch: twelve o'clock.

Under the auspices of the master of ceremonies, the wedding ceremony officially began. In the aperture of the spotlight, Xiao Wanting looks taller and more beautiful.

All wedding ceremonies are basically so few, but today's remote-controlled aircraft transmission ring link still has a certain novelty. The ceremony lasted for half an hour, after which it was time for the wedding reception.

Due to the progress of the ceremony just now, Chu Tianqi and the classmates only greeted each other in general, and now they have made up this link again.

The lights turned on, and Chu Tianqi found that the party school students had sat at a total of four tables, which was equivalent to two-thirds of the class. Among these classmates, Zhou Tong, Yue Jiani, and Yang Chongju, who are close to him, are here, Jiang Yunsheng, a former colleague and deputy director of education of Woyuan No. 1 Middle School, is here, and Lu Yong, a fellow villager in Yuchi County and a classmate twice, is also here. According to her, Ai Zhongqiang was also going to come, but now she is studying abroad, so she had to pay the gift money on her behalf.

To Chu Tianqi's surprise, Dong Zixuan also came. When she was in the party school, because of herself, Xiao Wanting looked down on Dong Zixuan the most, and the two women did not "fight".

When he was in the Provincial Party School, Chu Tianqi was recognized by everyone as the squad leader, and now he is also the fastest promoted among the people, so he has naturally become the center of everyone. Although he would like to talk more about his classmates, his position and work are still the most asked, and of course, his life is inevitably asked.

With proud capital, it is inevitable that there will be shortcomings. Originally, Chu Tianqi was young among his classmates in the party school, and he was already an older unmarried young man, but among so many classmates, he was the only one who was a "single". Except for the occasional one or two people who made fun of his unmarried, the rest of the classmates did not judge him, but had more respect for him and regarded him as a "leader".

Most of these students around are at the department level, and some enjoy the treatment of the deputy department, and only a few of them are the deputy department. However, most of these deputy departments are deputy positions in units directly under the municipal department, which are worse than the real power of the deputy county magistrate, and they are not of the same grade as Chu Tianqi, the deputy mayor of the Standing Committee, and there is no comparison. Although Chu Tianqi didn't feel that he was superior, many classmates obviously couldn't let go of him, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, lamenting the erosion of officialdom culture on people, and sighing that "the flowers are similar every year, and the people are different every year." ”

Although I feel that a lot of things have changed, which is very different from what I imagined, the prediction of "definitely drinking more" is accurate, but the reason for drinking is not because of classmates, but because many people want to respect the Standing Committee.

Just when everyone was drinking hotly, Xiao Wanting and his wife came to toast.
