On the day of 14rì, Ye Ming and Xia Chuchu did not go shopping, but stayed at home and were busy making various preparations.

Since the afternoon, Ye Ming's mobile phone has been busy, first of all, Xu Fei, the director of the Municipal Bureau, called to congratulate him and Chu Chu, and said that he and Zou Wenming will rush to the provincial bureau tonight, and come to drink the wedding wine on time at noon tomorrow.

Next, Yan Lian, deputy secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Hu Tong, director of the Law Enforcement and Supervision Office of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, Chen Guitian, head of the Criminal Investigation Corps of the Provincial Public Security Department, and Liang Tanghua, director of the K City Public Security Bureau, called one after another to congratulate Ye Ming, and said that they had received a call from Director Xia, and they would definitely come over tomorrow to drink a few glasses of happy wine. And he invited them to come and drink the wine of joy,

Ye Ming was originally going to inform them in person in the evening, but he didn't expect Xia Bicheng to call first, and he was a little embarrassed in his heart, so he had to give them a warm welcome and said a lot of thanks,

At about four o'clock, Ye Ming suddenly received another strange phone call, and as soon as the phone was connected, he heard a very rich and kind baritone coming from inside: "Hello, may I ask if you are Director Ye Ming Ye." ”

Ye Ming heard him call his name, and he couldn't hear which one it was at all, so he wondered in his heart, so he had to reply politely: "Hello, I'm Ye Ming, may I ask who you are." ”

The person on the phone smiled heartily and said: "I am Guo Guangwei of the Provincial Public Security Department, just now I heard Captain Chen Guitian in our hall say that Director Ye and Miss Xia Chuchu will have a good relationship tomorrow, Captain Chen said: Director Ye and him and Director Liang of the K City Public Security Bureau are very good friends, both of them will come to drink wine tomorrow, ask me if I want to come with them to be lively and lively, and see the demeanor of Director Ye, a young talent, I said: Although I have never known Director Ye in my life, I have heard the name of Director Ye for a long time, I also know the heroic deeds of Director Lu Daoye bravely saving Secretary Li of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and I really want to come to meet you, a young hero, so tomorrow I also want to come over with Captain Chen and Director Liang to ask for a glass of wine to drink, and express my heartfelt congratulations to you and Miss Xia Chuchu, but I don't know if Director Lu Daoye will think that I am too presumptuous to be an uninvited guest, hahaha. ”

It turned out that after Chen Guitian returned to the Provincial Public Security Department from Xinleng, he told Guo Guangwei: Ye Ming will soon be engaged to the star daughter of Xia Bicheng, director of the Provincial Local Taxation Bureau, and at that time, Secretary Lu and Secretary Li of the Provincial Party Committee will attend their engagement ceremony, and it is said that Secretary Lu is also the big media of Ye Ming and Xia Chuchu.

As soon as Guo Guangwei heard Chen Guitian's report, he immediately realized that this was the best opportunity for him to further close his relationship with Secretary Lu and Secretary Li, so he told Chen Guitian at that time: Once he learned the specific time of Ye Ming's engagement with Xia Chuchu, he must tell him in time, and when the time comes, he will personally call Ye Ming and ask him to invite him to his engagement ceremony in the name of congratulations......

Ye Ming couldn't help but be startled when he heard that the person who called him turned out to be Guo Guangwei, director of the Provincial Public Security Department, and heard that he was very modest and very cordial on the phone, remembering that he had spared no effort to help himself and Gong Zhichao, he was very moved in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Director Guo, thank you for your concern and blessings, if you have time to have a glass of wine tomorrow, Chu Chu and I will feel very honored, our engagement ceremony is scheduled for 12:18 noon tomorrow, please be sure to come then." ”

Guo Guangwei replied happily: "It's good, it's good, I'll definitely arrive on time." ”

After hanging up Guo Guangwei's phone, Ye Ming suddenly remembered several old friends from the original: one is Qing Tao, the former secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of K City and the current mayor of the provincial capital, the other is Wang Xiuguang, the mayor of K City and the current director of the Provincial Department of Land and Resources, in addition, there is Shen Youbin, the former secretary of the Xinleng County Party Committee and the current deputy director of the Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

So, he called them one by one and invited them to come to have a glass of wine, Qingtao and Shen Youbin were very happy to accept his invitation, and Wang Xiuguang, at this time, was doing research in the land bureau of the following prefectures and prefectures, just went down for a day, originally planned to spend a week to investigate several prefectures and prefectures, as soon as he heard Ye Ming call to invite him to attend the engagement ceremony, the research was not done, and immediately agreed to Ye Ming's invitation, and then rushed back to the provincial capital overnight......

In the evening, Lu Nianzi and Zhang Linjiang also rushed to Tianjiang Provincial City by plane, met with Ye Ming and Xia Chuchu, and sent a pair of jade bracelets to Xia Chuchu, and then lived in the Provincial Party Committee Guest House.

In order to ensure that the engagement ceremony is private and free from outside interference, and for the safety of Secretary Lu and Secretary Li, Xia Bicheng secretly instructed the director of the office of the provincial bureau to charter a banquet hall and all the boxes in the "Fumanlou" restaurant where the engagement ceremony was held, and asked the restaurant to change the main entrance and exit to the back door, because the back door is just facing the parking lot, and there are few people coming and going, Secretary Lu and Secretary Li should not enter and exit from the front door, so they can only get off from here and go directly into the banquet hall inside.

Xu Lizhong, who was in charge of Secretary Lu's safety and security, went to the hotel the day before to inspect the surrounding environment and Secretary Lu's route in and out of the hotel, and at ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, he transferred more than a dozen jǐng guards from the Jǐng Health Bureau to guard all the gates of the banquet hall, and arranged a few other jǐng guard secret posts near the parking lot, just in case, all the guests who enter and leave the banquet hall must be greeted by Ye Ming himself at the back door before he can bring them into the banquet hall.

Before eleven o'clock in the morning, Qing Tao, Yan Lian, Guo Guangwei, Hu Tong, Chen Guitian, Liang Tanghua, Wang Xiuguang, Shen Youbin, Xu Fei, Zou Wenming and others all came to the "Fumanlou" restaurant early, and after shaking hands with Xia Bicheng one by one, they congratulated Ye Ming and Xia Chuchu, who were standing at the door hand in hand to greet the guests, and handed over the red envelope of congratulatory gifts.

Then, these people all gathered at the door, chatting tacitly, but their eyes kept looking out of the door, waiting for Secretary Lu and Secretary Li to come over.

It wasn't until twelve o'clock that Secretary Lu and Secretary Li came together, and said some congratulatory words to Ye Ming and Xia Chuchu with a smile at the door, and then walked into the banquet hall surrounded by a pair of newcomers, and shook hands with the guests one by one very cordially and kindly.

According to Secretary Lu's instructions, this engagement ceremony was held very briefly, but the atmosphere was very warm, during the meal, only two tables were opened, Secretary Lu sat at a table, Secretary Li also sat at a table, Ye Ming and Xia Chuchu, Xia Bicheng sat at Secretary Lu's table, and at this table there were also high-ranking Qing Tao, Guo Guangwei, Yan Lian, Hu Tong, in addition, because Xu Fei, Zou Wenming and Zhang Yingzhi, the director of the provincial TV station, were Ye Ming or Xia Chuchu's direct leaders, they were also fortunate to have a table with Secretary Lu, and the rest of the people, Including Xia Chuchu's mother, Zeng Yanhua, they all sat at another table with Secretary Li.

Because today is his son's big joy, Secretary Lu is in a very good mood, making an exception to toast everyone a few glasses of wine, and for the people who came to toast, they did not shirk, everyone toasted the wine, so that everyone felt extra honored and happy,
