Chapter 136: Wedding Banquet
On June 24, 1995, the twenty-seventh day of the lunar calendar, Saturday, it is appropriate to get married.
The weather just after the summer solstice is naturally already a little hot, but today is a little important for many people. Because today is Huang Rui's marriage.
The marriage of the first secretary of the district party committee is a bit particular. To a certain extent, many people usually can't get a stammer, but today they can stammer, because people will definitely not drive you away today, even if they don't receive an invitation, some people will run to participate - of course, it is annoying, and more will choose not to be able to get people, and people will be favored.
But in the same way, as the first secretary of the district party committee, the person closest to the secretary, how much his wedding should be done and how much he can do it depends on the secretary's intentions. If the secretary didn't talk about it, then it should be estimated from the secretary's usual style, otherwise you are serving an extremely honest and self-disciplined secretary, but you are holding a wedding in a lavish and luxurious manner, and it is conceivable that the secretary will definitely be dissatisfied in his heart.
Xiao Chen didn't give any instructions on the scale of Huang Rui's wedding, but Huang Rui himself weighed it for a long time. The secretary must not want to make a wedding known all over the city, that would have a bad impact; But at the same time, this wedding can't be too casual, because first, the face of the first secretary of the district party committee is also part of the secretary's face, and secondly, the bride's family will naturally not be happy, so the mastery of this degree is very important.
But Xiao Chen won't ask about these things. He was smiling at the moment and calling Yue Tongyin, telling him that the Slov company was willing to transfer the factory to the parts company at the originally negotiated price, without any additional conditions.
Yue Tongyin was overjoyed, although he didn't know how Xiao Chen persuaded the Slov company, but at the moment he couldn't manage so much, that piece of land can only be taken and built as soon as possible, so that the engine can be put into production as soon as possible, which is what he cares about.
Xiao Chen, who hung up the phone, dialed out again, and said with a smile after connecting, "Helena, thank you." ”
Helena's voice still sounded so charming: "Shaodong, do you really thank me, or fake thank me?" ”
Xiao Chen smiled: "Naturally, it's true. Helena is in charge of dealing with the affairs of the Slov Company this time, Helena's public position in the Xinlan Group is the senior assistant to the chairman, and although Xiao Chen does not know how much power she can wield, she saw that she was easy, and only a few days later let the arrogant American devils of the Slov Company surrender obediently, and she knew that her status in the Xinlan Group was not low. Come to think of it, if they don't have the ability, how can my aunt keep them around?
"Really?" Helena's voice became more and more coquettish: "Then, I ask you for one thing, Shaodong won't refuse, right?" ”
When a delicate beauty says this kind of thing, it is inevitable that people will have an unusual connection, and Xiao Chen is no exception, as soon as he heard this, his first reaction was to think that Helena had not given up the '100 million dollars'.
"Uh......" Xiao Chen hesitated a little, thinking about how to say this tactfully.
Helena grinned: "Shaodong, aren't people sticking it to you upside down...... Well, the chairman is considering setting up an Asian center, Shaodong, you can just tell the chairman and let me and Shu Xin go to the Asian center to do things, right? Isn't it good......"
Helena's voice was really a bit of a ** feeling, and even Xiao Chen couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart when he heard it, but he immediately calmed down, but he was stunned again: "Asia Center? ”
Helena said with a smile: "Yes, now the company has a headquarters, three major centers, namely the headquarters of Xinlan Group in New York, the North American Center in Los Angeles, California, the European Center in London, England, and the South American Center in Sao Paulo, Brazil. ”
Xiao Chen smiled: "This is a good thing, I raise my hand to welcome." Well, as for you and the comforting things...... I'll find an opportunity to mention it to my aunt, but I don't interfere in the operation of Xinlan Group, so I don't necessarily say it's useful. ”
Helena smiled: "Shaodong, you can rest assured, don't let the two of us enter the Asia Center, even if you recommend me to be the president of the group, I'm afraid the chairman will agree, hehe." ”
If Xiao Chen spoke to Shu Xin, she was afraid that she would say, "If you have such confidence, I will recommend you to be the president", because Shu Xin is a typical oriental way of thinking, and when she is not completely sure, she will definitely humbly give in. But to Helena, Xiao Chen didn't dare to say that, the unrestrained and self-confidence of the Americans was likely to make her say "Sanq Shaodong, I will definitely be a good president of this president" without even thinking about it, and the joke will be big. Although Helena seems to be a business elite, if she is only an elite, she may not be able to drive the increasingly large group of Xinlan Group.
"Okay, okay, I remember this, I'll talk about it, I still have something, let's talk next time." Xiao Chen hung up the phone with a smile and shook his head helplessly.
The wedding car that drove from the district to the countryside has been going down for a while, but now it is time to pick up the bride to the new house, and a long wedding car with red flower ribbons appears on the street.
This time, the wedding car has a feature, it is not the bus of the district party committee and the district political axe. In fact, they are all "provided by friendship" by some private enterprise bosses in the district, of course, because of Xiao Chen's relationship, Huang Rui did not dare to let them run in vain, each car is marked with a red envelope, which is a fuel card for a gas station, as for the amount, it is not enough for outsiders.
Xiao Chen looked at the time, it was time to go to Daoxi. He came down from upstairs, and it happened that Lao Han also drove the car to pick him up, so Xiao Chen got into the car with his gift.
Lao Han looked at the things in Xiao Chen's hand and said with a smile: "Secretary, you also give Huang Rui a gift?" Then he's going to sleep with all the hugs. ”
Xiao Chen smiled: "How can you say such an exaggeration, but this thing I sent, he should still be able to use it at home." ”
Although Lao Han was curious, he didn't want to ask too much, thinking that he had a good relationship with Huang Rui anyway, so he would just ask him when the time came, so as not to blame the secretary for talking too much.
When the black Santana drove into the parking apron in front of the Linjiang Hotel, the relatives and friends of Huang Rui's family and Yuan Xiu's family saw the car, and they suddenly felt a light on their faces, and they immediately greeted them.
As soon as Xiao Chen got out of the car, he saw Huang Rui and Yuan Xiu hurriedly coming out of the inside, and hurriedly waved his hand from afar: "Hey, don't come, don't come, the bride and groom, what are you doing to pick me up?" You're the protagonists! He walked over with a smile, took the beautiful and delicate rectangular box in his hand, handed it to Yuan Xiu and said, "Xiao Yuan, Huang Rui will be handed over to you in the future!" Come, I have been in Dingqing District for more than a year, and I haven't given a gift yet, today's first time, I wish you to be a pair and give birth to a noble son early! ”
Yuan Xiu saw Xiao Chen's real person, this is the first time, usually either listen to others talk about it, or listen to Huang Rui talk about it, but no matter which version it is, it sounds like Secretary Xiao is a very gentle and elegant person, and at the same time very stern person, but I didn't expect to see it today, it turned out that Secretary Xiao was such a kind and smiling person, and he seemed to be able to feel a feeling like a spring breeze when he looked at him, perhaps, this is the so-called affinity, right?
"Thank you, Secretary Xiao." Yuan Xiu thanked him with a smile and generously accepted the two pairs of ivory chopsticks sent by Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen nodded slightly in his heart, but he was neither twisted nor careless, Huang Rui's vision and luck were still good.
Xiao Chen smiled, and Huang Rui gave way first, and said, "Secretary, please sit inside." ”
Xiao Chen knew that this was the way it was now, as long as the leader appeared, even on this occasion, he would definitely be given "special care", so he didn't pretend to be like this, and walked in with a smile.
Today's wedding, the pomp is not particularly big, but the people who arrive are heavyweights. I don't know if it's because I knew that Xiao Chen would attend, a group of important people from the Xiao family basically appeared at the banquet, and as soon as Xiao Chen entered, they all got up and greeted each other with a smile.
Their table was supposed to be arranged to the "prominent" position closest to the emcee, but Xiao Chen smiled and said: "We can't sit in this main seat today, we have to let the parents and relatives of both sides sit, come, let's sit at the table next to us." It's all your own comrades, let's have a meal, let's not talk about so many rules. ”
Liu Wenjun smiled and said: "That's it, that's it, we can come today, it's not outsiders, eat by yourself, what are you talking about?" Come, secretary, sit here. That's what he said, the place he gave up to Xiao Chen was still on the table.
Xiao Chen knew that this was not polite, so he sat down with a smile, and then everyone sat down according to their positions and rankings.
The master of ceremonies naturally has some projects to preside, and Xiao Chen and the others are not really here for dinner, so they naturally watch it happily.
The parents of both sides naturally met Xiao Chen and the others, but Xiao Chen naturally didn't have much impression of them, so it was okay to see them. It's just Yuan Xiu's father, Xiao Chen is a little disliked. He saw that Xiao Chen's appearance was a little bad, and he bent over and nodded his head, which made Xiao Chen frown slightly. However, he also knew that Yuan Xiu was only working in the District Industrial and Commercial Bureau now, and he had a lot of connections in his heart, and he definitely hoped to give himself a better impression as the secretary of the district party committee, so that he could take care of his daughter in the future. In fact, he didn't know that as long as Huang Rui was by his side, what was the matter with his daughter? Just like today, Deng Guangsheng, the director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, arrived today, and that attitude was very polite, why? Because Deng Guangsheng was approaching his age, he was almost replaced by Lin Zhili at the beginning, and Zhang Da, who was severely treated by Xiao Chen in the District Economic Commission, was later retained because of Xiao Chen's relationship. Now that he has a "soldier" under him who is the wife of Secretary Xiao's secretary, how could he not repay the favor? Xiao Chen can almost imagine that from today, within a month, Yuan Xiu will inevitably become a regular, and then he may have to be promoted. Yuan Xiu's father's attitude towards him was completely in vain, because it was impossible for Xiao Chen to take care of such a thing personally.
The master of ceremonies was saying blessings on the stage, and the photographer in the audience was also taking pictures, but there was a sudden small scratch at the door. Xiao Chen and the others turned their heads to look together, but saw several greeters blocking a well-dressed man and not letting him in.
Huang Rui and Yuan Xiu also turned their heads to look, and their faces changed suddenly: Huang Rui's face suddenly became gloomy, and Yuan Xiu's face turned pale and a little annoyed.
Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, he looked at the man who was entangled with the guests at the door, and believed in his own judgment more and more, this person was probably Fu Dongsheng, the wife and brother of He Yuexin, the director of the district party committee office that day.
Xiao Chen's guess was not wrong, this person was indeed Fu Dongsheng. Since he was beaten by Huang Rui once, no matter how he moved, there was no way to "bring him to justice", and even ran to see Xie Yang, Xie Yang only shook his head, he knew that the current Huang Rui was no longer the new tender who wrote manuscripts in it when he first entered the district committee office, and now he is no longer able to provoke himself.
Fu Dongsheng couldn't accept this fact, in his opinion, Huang Rui was not the stinky boy who had 300 yuan a month? With Huang Rui, how can he be compared with Fu Dongsheng, who can earn two or three hundred thousand yuan a year? Besides, Yuan Xiu's father has obviously refused to give Huang Rui face in front of Yuan Xiu several times, why is Huang Rui so thick-skinned and has been pestering others?
Fu Dongsheng was very unconvinced, especially unconvinced, so he came again today.
"This is a guesthouse! Why don't you let me in?? Their money is money, and my money is not money? How much did they come out today, I give double the line?? Fu Dongsheng shouted loudly.
"Boss Fu, we are doing a happy event today, we have taken care of the entire floor, and now it is not open here, I hope you don't make trouble here." I thought that the welcome guest said with a calm face.
"Troublemaker? Who said I came to make trouble?? I'm just here to say hello to Yuan Xiu today, why, I can't go in when I come to say goodbye? Don't you think I didn't bring a congratulatory gift? Come, come, write me a congratulatory ...... Write me 10,000, I'll see who He Yi is taller than me today, I can't go in, then they all have to come out! Fu Dongsheng said loudly.
Another greeting was a relative of Huang Rui's family, and he said with a cold face: "The surname is Fu, let's have a happy event today, I don't want to make a big deal about it, it's best for you to leave quickly, we can treat it as if it didn't happen, otherwise...... Hum. ”
Fu Dongsheng glanced at him with slanted eyes, and sneered: "Otherwise, what?" Or you'll kill me? Hey, I really don't believe you have what it takes! Come on, come on, I'm Fu Dongsheng standing here, you have the ability, you come and kill me and try it, if you can't beat me, your mouth is an asshole, and you won't fucking fart in the future! ”
Huang Rui's relative was furious: "What's wrong with beating you, it's a big deal to beat your son and go to jail!" He was born in the countryside, and now he is working in a machine repair factory, brute force is not a joke, he stepped forward, and he slapped him in the past, Fu Dongsheng remembered it vividly after the last beating, and saw the man slap over, while jumping back and retreating, while shouting: "Beat someone!" The Huang family bullied people and beat ordinary people! Let's judge it! ”
Xiao Chen listened here, and immediately frowned. The rest of the people were also a little embarrassed, but they couldn't say anything, so they had to drink tea with their heads bored.
Gu Le was making a fuss some time ago, and he was a little worried that Xiao Chen had a pimple in his heart, and when he saw this, he glanced at Xiao Chen, which naturally meant to ask Xiao Chen what to do.
Xiao Chen closed his eyes and didn't react, and then he didn't see it, and began to drink tea. In fact, Xiao Chen meant, such a thing, with so many leaders present, Huang Rui should handle things properly by himself, not only because he is the groom today, but also because he should show a man's ability at this time: the ability to solve troubles.
Huang Rui glanced at Xiao Chen, and saw that Xiao Chen didn't hear it at all, and he also knew what Xiao Chen meant, so he made up his mind, no matter what kind of bad impression this incident left in the hearts of the leaders just now, and first considered how to solve it.
He took out his mobile phone and dialed He Yuexin's number: "Director He, I'm Huang Rui." ”
He Yuexin heard Huang Rui's call, and was a little puzzled, today Huang Rui got married, he went to Heyi, but after all, there was a previous matter, he couldn't still run over, but now that he received Huang Rui's call, he couldn't help but feel strange, didn't he go, what other opinions could Huang Rui have, or did he have to go by himself? He was a little unhappy in his heart, no matter what he said, he was nominally your Huang Rui's leader, isn't it too much for you to do this?
"Well, I'm He Yuexin, Director Huang, happy newlywed, I was a little anxious today, and I couldn't come to say hello in person, it's really rude." He Yuexin's smile sounded very natural, as if an old friend for many years had spoken on the phone.
Huang Rui smiled: "Thank you Director He, Director He is polite." Well, but happy newlyweds, this is really hard to say. ”
He Yuexin frowned slightly and asked, "Huh?" What did Director Huang say about this, and what is so difficult to say about the happiness of the newlyweds? Could it be that Director Huang still wants to ask me for some experience in being a groom? Hehe, I've only had this once, so I don't have any experience. ”
"Hehe, Director He laughed." Huang Rui smiled faintly: "Here's the thing. I was just about to have a feast when someone came. ”
He Yuexin is a little strange, someone is here? It's nothing more than Secretary Xiao going in person, what's so strange, the whole district party committee knows that Secretary Xiao will definitely come to congratulate him in person today, is it necessary to show off this matter to me? If you get married as a secretary, if the leader can't invite you, then it's too shameless, and you should get it.
He Yuexin just said "um" and motioned for Huang Rui to continue.
Huang Rui's voice was a little cold: "I thought it was who, but I knew at a glance that it was actually Fu Dongsheng." ”
He Yuexin's mind suddenly buzzed!
