Chapter 197
Zhao Yiping has never felt like a clown like at this moment, when she knew that Zhang Guohua's daughter was Chen Xing's engagement partner, Zhao Yiping's expression was stunned for a moment, it was shocked, it was ridiculous that she still wanted to come to the prestige, but now she couldn't wait to hide her face and go.
Chen Xing didn't know if it was intentional, he arranged Zhao Yiping to be at the same table with Zhang Guohua, in fact, this arrangement is not wrong, Zhang Guohua, Zhou Mingfang, Huang Kunming plus a Zhao Yiping, these people are all leaders on his head, and it is reasonable to arrange them at the main table, if Zhao Yiping is really arranged at another table, maybe Zhao Yiping will breathe a sigh of relief at the same time, and he can't help but resent Chen Xing for not putting her in his eyes, women's hearts and eyes are sometimes very big, sometimes they are small, but they are often untheoretical, even women in high positions are no exception, not to mention that Zhao Yiping has never been a big-eyed woman.
After observing silently for a while, Huang Kunming finally noticed the subtle tension between Chen Xing's family and Zhao Yiping, coupled with Zhang Ningning whispering something in Zhang Guohua's ear, Zhang Guohua's expression gradually became clear, Huang Kunming seemed to have captured something, looked at Chen Xing from time to time, and then looked at Zhao Yiping, Huang Kunming's face was strange.
In addition to Zhang Guohua sitting at the main table, Chen Xing and his parents also sat at the main table, plus Zhang Ningning and his mother Zeng Yun, there were exactly eight people sitting at the main table, and the rest were arranged at the other three tables, because the Chen family's relatives really came, so they could only add a table temporarily, otherwise Zhao Guoli would have no place to sit.
Some of the relatives of the Chen family didn't know the identities of Zhang Guohua at first, most of them were from the countryside, and they rarely paid attention to the news, and no one knew that the identities of Zhang Guohua were so scary.
These people who came out of the countryside looked at Chen Xing's table with undisguised eyes, all curious and excited, just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, they have seen it for a long time, let's have a banquet with the provincial leaders tonight, these relatives of the Chen family are all excited, and they don't know the rules very well, and they can see that Zhao Guoli and a few people shook their heads, but they couldn't give birth to the slightest ridicule, they would also feel that they were actually like a clown.
After Sun Xiang turned his head and glanced at Zhao Qing, he was silent, quite ashamed, he was also a very scheming person, tonight he wanted to come over and cut Chen Xing's face in front of his wife, otherwise he would not have mentioned yì to come over to participate in Chen Xing's engagement banquet, but now he is lifting a stone to hit his own feet, Sun Xiang is not a taste in his heart, how can his father say that he is also the executive deputy minister of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, and the Organization Department is in charge of the official hat, which can be said to be a senior official. His father's identity is no worse than Zhao Yiping, who has become the mayor, even if Huang Kunming, the secretary of the municipal party committee who has not become a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, has to be polite when he sees his father, with such a family background, he actually has a very psychological advantage over Chen Xing, and this psychological advantage established from the family background collapsed at this moment.
At the beginning of the banquet, Chen Xing and Zhang Ningning, the engaged couple, undoubtedly became the focus of the field, Zhang Guohua and Zeng Yun, the two daughters who were parents who looked at them with happy smiles, were also full of smiles, Chen Ping and Zou Fang were even more smiling, there was such a daughter-in-law, and I didn't know how much face I had to earn for the Huang family, just look at the stiff smile of Zhao Yiping opposite, I knew how relieved I was tonight.
At the beginning of the banquet, Chen Xing and Zhang Ningning wanted to toast one by one, and the parents of both sides became the primary objects, followed by Zhou Mingfang and Huang Kunming coming down in turn, and when Zhao Yiping arrived, Zhang Ningning's smile made Zhao Yiping very unnatural, only to hear Zhang Ningning smile and say, "Mayor Zhang, Chen Xing and I salute you with a glass." ”
Looking at Zhang Ningning's eyes as bright as jade, Zhao Yiping became more and more embarrassed, she didn't know if Zhang Ningning knew about Chen Xing and her daughter, she couldn't hear anything from Zhang Ningning's simple words, but Zhang Ningning's eyes that seemed to be talking seemed to be laughing at her, which made Zhao Yiping feel very uncomfortable.
"Talented men and women, a match made in heaven." Zhao Yiping smiled and said hello to Chen Xing and Zhang Ningning, it was a smile she worked very hard to put on, no matter how unwilling she was, at this moment Zhao Yiping could only squeeze out a smile to bless the two engaged couples.
"Thank you Mayor Zhao for your blessings, Chen Xing and I have today's big day, then I have to thank Mayor Zhao for not looking down on Chen Xing before, hehe, just kidding, Mayor Zhao won't mind." Zhang Ningning's shining eyes stared at Zhao Yiping.
"Chen Xing is very good, and only you can match him." Zhao Yiping responded with a dry smile, and finally smiled helplessly in her heart, Zhang Ningning still knew after all, did she become an ugly clown tonight?
When Chen Xing and Zhang Ningning stood in front of Zhao Qing, smiling and toasting each other, Zhao Qing's expression was complicated, and the three of them were standing, this scene was very peculiar, as if there was a force of fate in the underworld, without the cause planted a few years ago, there would be no today's result, Chen Xing's experience is in line with the old saying, Saiong lost his horse and knew whether it was a blessing.
"Congratulations." Zhao Qing said these two words bitterly, and drank a glass of wine with his head raised.
"Thank you." Zhang Ningning only responded lightly, glanced at the other party, and didn't say anything.
After some cumbersome etiquette, Chen Xing and Zhang Ningning were finally able to sit down and eat a few bites of food with peace of mind, Zhang Guohua and his wife Zeng Yun chatted with Chen Xing's parents from time to time, today is centered on the two of them, Zhou Mingfang and Huang Kunming can only be foils tonight, Chen Ping and Zou Fang have never enjoyed such treatment.
Although Zhang Guohua has repeatedly emphasized that he is just an ordinary father tonight, his identity can never be ignored, with him present, the people at the main table are still very restrained, as for Zhao Yiping, let alone that.
may also consider that his presence will affect the atmosphere, Zhang Guohua will leave first after the ceremonies that should be left at the engagement banquet, Zeng Yun stayed as a parent, and as soon as Zhang Guohua leaves, Zhou Mingfang and Huang Kunming will undoubtedly leave, and Zhao Yiping is no exception.
Zhao Yiping has never had a meal as tormented as tonight, and it was really difficult for her to squeeze out a smile all night, but she didn't dare to leave the table halfway, Governor Zhang Guohua was sitting there, and she didn't dare to leave the table before Zhang Guohua borrowed her courage, although Zhao Yiping was sitting on pins and needles all night, but she had to insist on leaving after Zhang Guohua left.
Chen Xing's slap tonight was loud enough! Zhao Yiping gritted her teeth, after watching Zhang Guohua's car leave, Zhao Yiping sat in the car with a gloomy expression, Chen Xing's invisible slap was not on her face but more ruthless than hitting her in the face, thinking about Chen Xing's expression of sending her away with a smile on his face just now, Zhao Yiping couldn't wait to dig a crack in the ground and get in, she had never been so ashamed.
"Hey, Yiping, some things are still open, they have come to this point, there is no need to worry about it anymore, not to mention Chen Xing's achievements today, it is not something you can suppress." Zhao Guoli couldn't know more about his wife's character, tonight at Chen Xing's engagement banquet can be described as disgraceful, with her character to be able to sit and eat for so long, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is 'endure humiliation and burden', but there is nothing to do.
In the system, you are an official who is bigger than others, and you can bully others unreasonably, but you may also face the same situation in turn, because there are always people who are bigger than you, unless you have the ability to become the general secretary, but so what, even the number one person in the center is still subject to various interest factors, and every decision may have to take care of the interests of all aspects, and the number one can act completely according to his own wishes? The answer is no, the era of political and strongmen is long gone.
Zhao Yiping didn't say that she was bullied tonight, but it wasn't a taste for her to sit, she was embarrassed, but she couldn't leave, because Zhang Guohua didn't leave, Zhou Mingfang didn't leave, did she dare to leave as a mayor? Zhao Yiping may dare to save Huang Kunming's face, but in front of Zhang Guohua and Zhou Ming, Zhao Yiping has to sit obediently.
"Chen Xing sent us two invitations in a row, it's really calculating, it's so calculating, it's so calculating, it turns out that he has been waiting to slap us hard, I said why he invited us to his engagement banquet so kindly, and he was ready to dare to love." Zhao Yiping smiled angrily, the lights in the car sprinkled on his face, a well-maintained face looked a little distorted and crazy, this woman was on the verge of anger, and her anger was nowhere to vent.
"Even if he was ready to slap us, in the end, we came by ourselves, otherwise why would we feel insulted, so we don't need to count all the qiē on Chen Xing's head." Zhao Guoli can see this matter more than his wife, he is a person who understands current affairs and reality, Chen Xing has now become the son-in-law of the governor Zhang Guohua, but he is no longer the person whose Zhang family can casually show each other's face.
In fact, since Chen Xing became Zhou Mingfang's secretary, Chen Xing is no longer the previous Chen Xing, and their Zhao family can no longer despise Chen Xing at will from then on, not to mention that now Chen Xing has climbed into the Zhang family, Zhao Guoli thinks that it is extremely unwise to stiffen the relationship with Chen Xing, even if they and Chen Xing cannot be friends again, but they should not let the relationship deteriorate.
