Chapter Twenty-Eight: Double Happiness Comes to the Door
The happy event of Xixing Company should have been held a long time ago, and someone had urged it; However, it was delayed into July, and it was finally decided to hold it at the end of the month. On July 30th, Xixing Company held a rare big event in T Jin City for many years, due to the great reputation of West Star Company in T Jin City, so that there were many guests who participated in the celebration, and the scene was extremely grand.
Since a meeting of key figures of Xixing Company in May, they have been in an active position in terms of construction, far higher than the actual temptation of their competitors, which has caused the influx of construction personnel and construction equipment, which not only ensures the construction needs of the building that will be suspended, but also makes other projects that are actually gaps in the project have been greatly supplemented, greatly improving the progress of the project. This makes the comrades of the management office who have been dissatisfied with it smile, and finally there is no need to delay the progress of the project, and the newly formed construction team has long been armed to the teeth, and has long been able to put into use, although it is still doing cooperative work, but the inspection period is about to pass, it is said that in addition to some technical workers staying in the original construction unit, the company intends to transfer others to start a unfinished building alone. Due to the relatively low price of this unfinished building, some people who know the inside story are very dissatisfied, thinking that they do not pay attention to them, so that a certain comrade of the management office has to speak a lot of words to persuade everyone, but it has also prompted the management office to add some company management regulations and strictly manage the company's staff.
With the acceleration of the construction progress, by the end of June, all the first batch of key construction projects have been completed, especially the top priority of the West Star Building, which ended construction in early June, 12 days earlier than expected. Immediately afterwards, Xixing Company paid close attention to the interior decoration, and the construction period was very tight. This is due to several factors. First of all, the pressure of a large number of employees of the company, we all know that the company is a large company with strong financial strength, but they work in a simple office, and do not have their own office building, which is unique in T Jin City, large companies all have their own office buildings; It is not a good match for their current strong strength and high reputation. Secondly, several company leaders are pressing, which is a matter related to their lifelong events, especially a certain big person, who is afraid of another chicken and egg beating, and urges the most actively. Third, it is the pressure of the External Relations Department, which can be regarded as the comprehensive effect of pressure from all aspects, which has done extremely smoothly, with an occupancy rate of more than 80%, and most of them are urging them to complete it quickly; On the other hand, some people, such as Li Mengze, asked to drink their wedding wine earlier, and so on. Anxious to earn the first pot of gold, Xixing Company had to rush to work, and by mid-July, the decoration had entered the final stage.
During this period, someone came to T Jin, looked at it a few times, and didn't say anything, just said, "I have to go back quickly, my wife is about to give birth, and the doctor can't say this month, I will definitely give birth within the month, and both of them will give birth", leaving a few people who were anxious to argue and left. This is not tight, the finishing work of the decoration work is done very carefully, so that it is even picky, so that the decoration company shouts bitterly, they are very puzzled, saying that the West Star company is in a hurry to decorate, the original construction period is very tight, and there can be no delay; It doesn't matter, it's true now, there is no rush at all, some small problems have to be redone, and I am not afraid of wasting time at all. This time, it is really hard for the decoration company, and many places are forced to reverse work, and it is estimated that the amount of money made has been greatly discounted, and there is even the possibility of loss! The decoration company gritted its teeth, paid attention to the quality of the project, and even if it lost money, it was necessary to do a good job in this single business, because they knew that Xixing Company was a large company, at least there were many projects in the near future, as long as it was done well, they were not afraid that they would not make money in the future. Since then, the construction and decoration quality of Xixing Company has been very good, and her company strength has become the signboard of Xixing rampant in Tianjin and even the whole of China. It has been spread in the industry that Xixing is very strict with the project, you can increase the cost of the project, but you can't reduce the quality of the project. This point, to the company's leadership, was originally just a helpless move, but it became a social reputation of the company.
The events are scheduled to take place on the penultimate day of the month, which is also the last Sunday of July. The reason why it is arranged to be held on this day is really a helpless move, when someone said that in the middle of the year, several people are breathing a sigh of relief, thinking that they have finally survived, they are not like someone who can have children before marriage, always want to hold the most important wedding in their lives, they are not as good as someone in many aspects, and they can always surpass him in this regard! But left and right, always don't see the good news from Bjing, they can't even help but call directly to ask, but there is no movement, time passes day by day, and some people even generously say that they can drag it out until August, and the long-awaited news came in the early morning of July 28, and finally did not let their happy event be ruined. They had already prepared for it, and the wedding stickers had been secretly printed, just waiting for the exact date; And has long been ready to mobilize the company's employees to do happy events in an emergency, and the preparations were quickly completed under the order. This big happy event of Xixing Company is a little funny, it is said to be a collective marriage, and it involves the common happy event of all employees of the company, and it is a little-known party. And the guests are even more complicated, there are their former college classmates, friends, colleagues from their former workplaces, more university teachers, current colleagues and opponents, and even the city government has sent people to congratulate, it can be said that there are all kinds of people, all together, and the wedding banquet they attended last time Li Mengze and them are simply incomparable.
Many colleagues from the External Relations Department, the Management Department, and the Personnel Department of Xixing Company worked together to transfer people as the master of ceremonies for the banquet. This is too busy for the two grooms, and if it weren't for their deputy's efforts to pick up customers, they probably wouldn't have needed to attend any weddings. Li Mengze's former classmates all came, naturally including several from Haisheng Company, and Jin Yulong, who was close at hand, was even present to congratulate; Some of Li Yudong's classmates also came, including the classmates and friends of the three girls. Li Mengze arrived very early, he was embarrassed to arrive too late, and he felt a little sorry for them, so he rushed over on the 29th, and when he came, he followed everyone to arrange the banquet scene, help make suggestions, and did some practical things, even Chen Qian began to praise him, and promised to let him go this time, which made him frightened.
The business peers arrived relatively late, most of them were business-like, everyone was polite, and there were not many conversations, most of them were some official words, and several grooms dealt with them separately. We don't have a deep friendship, it's okay to talk about work, is there such a thing, just be polite. All the employees of Xixing Company came to congratulate collectively, and everyone celebrated the bride and groom together, and wished the company a new move. Everyone gave the beautiful words to their own company, so that someone who was listening to it lost his temper, but fortunately, there were many people, and no one noticed him. The banquet of Xixing Company is also a stage for everyone to prepare, many business celebrities in T Jin City gathered together, it is a good time to talk to each other, but everyone is a head and face, and it is best not to carry out actions that are not suitable for themselves, everything is just a matter of understanding, so most of them are very autonomous, and they left quickly. The rest are those who are related to the point of this banquet. Many of them are their relatives and friends, and of course their college classmates.
Banquets are naturally inseparable from toasts, and most toasts are just meaningful, but the bride and groom are familiar with classmates and friends. There was a lot of wine at the banquet, because there were three couples who received the toast together, so it was those who toasted who suffered, and the newlyweds drank one glass of wine, or six people drank one glass, and those who toasted had to drink three glasses of wine. When it was Li Mengze's turn to toast, it happened to be Wang Zhaoyun to congratulate him, now everyone is on business, no one can be special, no matter who it is, it must be drunk. But Xu Peng interjected, "Mengze has to drink five cups", which shocked everyone and puzzled everyone, but everyone was pleasantly surprised to find that several other parties agreed in unison, and the result was that each of the three grooms drank double, and even the three brides made an exception to dip in wine, you must know that only one of them drank a glass of wine before.
Originally, the toast was subject to three glasses, and everyone allowed them to take turns to drink in order to take care of the parties, after all, there were too many guests, and the bride and groom could not be drunk so early in the banquet, and the parties would definitely not do it, this was on their land, and there were six people, and there were many obedient master of ceremonies! That's why everyone felt inexplicable, especially some of Li Mengze's classmates, and even some people who didn't know him were inquiring about his origins. Most people don't understand why, and some people who think they know something about it suddenly find that it's not what they imagined. Because in their opinion, even if the guess is true, it should be four glasses of wine, but what is the reason for the fifth glass? Where did the so-called come from, several parties know very well, except for Li Mengze's younger sons, what else can make a few people so enthusiastic to congratulate? But no one would have thought that Li Mengze already had four younger sons, and they would congratulate their birth on such an occasion!
After the toast, it was the ball, when everyone was more casual and the crowd dispersed. People who are more familiar with each other chatting with each other, and they haven't seen each other for a long time, and everyone has a lot to say; This wedding arranged an occasion for everyone to gather with old classmates and old friends. But Li Mengze is different, he still has almost no friends here, at least his relationship with his old classmates is not at this level, his relationship with everyone is neither bad nor very good, he doesn't want anyone to understand, let alone let anyone know about him! Like a bystander, he wished he was always a bystander! But that past did not form such a present, because in the eyes of his old classmates, he was very different from the past, maybe his coldness prevented everyone from getting close to him, but everyone had unconsciously treated him as an important person. Although everyone still can't see his nobility, they know that he has become a mysterious person. In everyone's understanding, he is not as complacent and ambitious as Jin Yulong, nor as beautiful as Chen Haisheng, nor as superior to Wang Zhaoyun and others, but he is already ahead of them! Many of them have just graduated from graduate school and have just started their careers, and he is already the deputy general manager of a large company, and maybe he has more unknown things! Some even think that he is the most powerful person today, although this is only the hazy thoughts of a few people.
Most people have the impression that Jin Yulong is a powerful figure today, and his personal strength may be stronger than today's parties, so he has a great attraction, especially for those graduate students who have just graduated, this is the ladder for them to enter the world close to success, because whether it is Xixing or Haisheng Company, they are not as suitable for them as Yulong Electronics! And Chen Haisheng also attracts everyone's attention, his strength may not be stronger than several others, but they have introduced more than a dozen university alumni so far, which is the largest number of college students introduced in the existing company, and it is also a candidate for employment of many newly graduated alumni, and has a relatively high reputation in the university. Of course, all attractive companies are not as attractive as the current Xixing Company, which is so successful and famous that no matter who it is, it is quite tempting to have a place in the Xixing Company. Therefore, what remained after this banquet was inevitably divided into three major groups.
Li Mengze is not attractive enough here, his light attitude and sometimes cold words make it impossible for everyone to approach him. And his somewhat mysterious arguments made it impossible for some people who wanted to find out about it to get close to him. When he was ordinary, everyone was reluctant to approach him, and when he was finally able to enter the house today, everyone found that it was impossible to get close to him! He had wanted to take it easy and then go home happily to see his young sons; He didn't care about the strange looks that some people had when they saw him, as long as no one bothered him. However, the development of events often did not coincide with people's subjective wishes, and he wanted not to attract attention, but he became one of the most controversial people at the banquet.
"Mengze, didn't you do a good job in Wansheng Company, why did you resign again?" Yang Hua still cared about him very much, and finally seized the opportunity to ask him.
"I don't want to do it anymore. I, you know, are like floating clouds, the mind doesn't calm down, the body keeps moving. Li Mengze explained, without giving a specific reason.
"Why don't you have a long-term plan, what are you doing now?" Yang Hua had nothing to say, his heart was like a floating cloud, and he didn't know who could tie him.
"Staying at home, I haven't found anything to do. I am now living in B-Kyung. Li Mengze's words are not false at all.
"Mengze, why didn't you work in Wansheng Company, when did you resign?" A classmate was attracted by their conversation and couldn't help but interject.
"I didn't want to do it for a few months, so I came out. Probably at the end of May. for 7 months. ”
"You're really powerful, the deputy general manager is gone!" The classmate was exaggerated.
"I won't do that job anymore, it's not something I can do, otherwise, I'll introduce you to Mr. Chen, even this Mr. Chen here!" Li Mengze said with a smile. It's a bit ridiculous, Chen Haisheng and they are quite arrogant today, which makes him a little uncomfortable.
"I have to have that opportunity, I really envy you." The man smiled bitterly and left, he didn't kill, and when he heard Meng Ze's bad tone, he could see that the two of them had something to say.
"You're talking a lot now than you used to, but you don't have to!" Yang Hua was a little dissatisfied with what he said just now, and complained a little about him.
"I'm telling you the truth. It's not that you don't know, I have a pretty good relationship with them, and I guess it shouldn't be a big problem to add an idle vice president. Besides, you can still help me talk! Li Mengze didn't think so, and he couldn't let people sit down on his question.
"Mengze, you're here, I'm looking for you. Ah Hua is also there! Chen Haisheng walked over, in fact, he had already seen Li Mengze, but he only came over now.
"Ah Hua? How like a cat's name. Yang Hua, Haisheng is really affectionate to you. Li Mengze laughed ill-intentionedly, he always called Yang Hua by name.
"Go! You're getting more and more hurtful. Yang Hua said angrily, and then left them, she knew that her boyfriend had something to say, and she wanted to ask those words, but she didn't have a chance.
"I'm really convinced! Where is my sister? Why didn't you see her? Chen Haisheng really came here to do something, and his attitude was quite sincere.
"Bjing, you don't know? Why didn't you ask sooner? Li Mengze seemed a little surprised, as if he had seen something that shouldn't have happened.
"I only knew she was with you, and I thought she was in Tjin!" Chen Haisheng was stunned for a moment, but he still said seriously, not wanting to stimulate him.
"I don't live in T for a long time, since my father was hospitalized, I have lived in B Beijing for part of the time, I only work here in T Jin, I live here when I work, and after I resigned, I live in B Beijing permanently."
"Then how did you settle Lili, how is he now, and when are you going to get married?" Chen Haisheng then asked, he didn't care about the displeasure on Li Mengze's face.
"Why didn't anyone ask before, but now they all care!" As soon as he heard that he was going to get married, Li Mengze was even more disgusted, and his tone became unkind.
"Anyway, you'll have to tell me how you're going to place her, she's my sister!" Chen Haisheng still doesn't want to stimulate the other party, but he can't ignore it, you know, he is the number one person.
"If Mr. Chen came to ask, I might consider answering him, but the rest, it shouldn't be necessary!" Li Mengze didn't give the other party any face.
"You, you, don't deceive people too much!" Chen Haisheng was a little angry, he talked to him in a good voice, but he didn't give a little face, how could he swallow this breath!
"Inexplicable. I didn't care about it before, but now I'm nervous. Li Mengze said coldly, he was really angry, he didn't object to people interfering in their family's affairs, as long as he had the right, but this person couldn't. Chen Haili has been with him for more than half a year, and he hasn't seen them come to ask, and now he comes to ask, isn't that asking for trouble, if anyone in their family is any longer, he won't get a good face.
……
Soon someone gathered over, and everyone was paying more attention to them, and their voices gradually became louder, which naturally made everyone divert their attention. Now both of them are stars in everyone's eyes, one is a mysterious figure who has emerged recently, and the other is the central figure that everyone has always paid attention to, and now they are even more radiant, and everyone can't help but care about their disputes. Seeing more and more onlookers, Li Mengze wanted to retreat, he had never been used to being watched by others, thinking that he was out of grace, but someone didn't give him a chance.
"If you don't make it clear today, don't want to leave!" Chen Haisheng saw that there were more people, and his tone gradually hardened.
"Get out of the way, I don't want people to be monkeys!" Li Mengze said coldly, without looking at the other party.
"You won't be able to leave today, I don't believe you try!" Chen Haisheng still stopped him and threatened.
"Who said that I don't want Meng Ze to go, if I can really help us keep him, I really want to thank you!" suddenly
Voices were heard in the distance.
"What's the matter, Mengze, who can't get along with you?" Li Yudong walked over, and everyone knew who the person who spoke just now was.
"It's okay, someone is talking to me, they don't want me to leave." Li Mengze said with a sneer, still not looking at Chen Haisheng.
"And this matter, brother, you have such a big face!" Li Yudong praised with a smile, as if no one was around.
"you, I just wanted to find you, I wanted your husband and wife to eat something with me, but someone didn't let me go." Li Mengze said casually, saying that someone was sinful.
"Li Mengze, you ......" Chen Haisheng couldn't bear his contempt anymore, and wanted to get angry.
"It seems that you really can't leave, why don't I go get some?" Li Yudong said with a smile, as if he felt a little embarrassed and discounted him.
"Okay, let's have some dessert, I'm a little dry, I drank too much wine just now!" The two of them asked and answered, and they cooperated well.
Li Yudong immediately walked out of the crowd, as if specifically to satisfy someone's request; He didn't seem to be worried about someone's situation at all, or didn't think he had to worry about it, which made people even more curious and speculated. And Li Mengze seemed to be really waiting for something, and Chen Haisheng also seemed to be suppressed, both of them
No action was taken, and it was a stalemate.
After a while, Li Yudong came back again, not only him, but also three pairs of newcomers. I saw Chen Qian holding a plate of desserts and following her husband's side, and on both sides of them were the other protagonists of today's banquet that everyone is familiar with - Wang Zhaoyun and Xu Peng and his wife. This made everyone very surprised, and unconsciously gave way to a passage. All the people watched them silently!
Everyone was stunned, it was simply ...... They have never seen such a phenomenon, the host of the banquet, completely does not mediate, but seems to be adding fuel to the fire. Everyone can accept a banquet guest's behavior like this, after all, they all know Li Mengze's independent style, and the banquet hosts are so obviously partial, they can't accept it. It's really rare to have such a person and such a banquet! Among these people, Li Yudong is not very familiar with everyone, but it is estimated that he has a deep relationship with Li Mengze, otherwise he would not sing and harmonize so much; The relationship between Xu Peng and Chen Haisheng is not very good, everyone knows it, but it doesn't seem to have reached such a point; Chen Qian is now married to Li Yudong, and everyone no longer expects this woman with a changeable personality, and it is estimated that she has long been influenced by men. But even Wang Zhaoyun was involved, which made it really difficult for everyone to accept, because his relationship with Chen Haisheng was very good, at least not worse than that with Li Mengze, and there was no reason to offend people so much.
In fact, this wronged a few people, they did this purely because of their dissatisfaction with Chen Haisheng, everyone knew about Chen Haili, which made Wang Zhaoyun, who had always felt good about Chen Haisheng, also angry, and used this to insult each other, several people didn't think it was inappropriate, of course, all this had more to do with their relationship with Li Mengze.
"We'll accompany you here, how to sing in the future, you can solve it yourself, if you need manpower, just say hello." Li Yudong ate a piece, and at this time, someone had already eaten two pieces, and was taking the third piece, so he turned around and left, and at the same time, the other two men also laughed twice and turned to leave.
"I can't eat it, and if I don't eat it, I'll take it away." Chen Qian said that she also wanted to leave, and she didn't seem to see anything good here, and she couldn't eat more desserts, not to mention that she was holding it again, and she was a little tired.
"Bring me a glass of water." Li Mengze hurriedly took two more pieces and took the opportunity to make another request.
"Think beautifully!" Chen Qian was a little angry, this guy had to inch in, and then led the two female companions away.
The two parties are still in a stalemate, some people estimate that Chen Haisheng maintained his demeanor and asked someone to finish what he was doing, and some people thought that Li Yudong's words had an effect; Before he finished eating, the three brides came again, this time it was Li Lin who brought him a bottle of mineral water, and casually thanked him, he picked it up and drank it, not feeling unsightly at all, so that a certain bride laughed. When it was finally resolved, Li Mengze faced Chen Haisheng again.
Two people, you look at me, I look at you, no one speaks, everyone is waiting, waiting for the other party to give up, waiting for the other party to retreat. Chen Haishenghai was angry, his face kept changing, and he gradually became gloomy; In between, he pushed away Yang Hua's dissuasion and insisted on fighting to the end.
Li Mengze quickly put on a defensive posture, he knew that his skills were not as good as the other party, but he never liked to have quarrels with others, and he always thought that the best solution was strength and reason. Although he has never taken the initiative to do it, he is careful, his family is big, and he can't be careful. But after waiting for a while, he didn't see any movement from the other party, so he didn't want to spend time here, and he was tired, so he wanted to leave.
"If it's okay, I'll go first!" He looked at each other and discussed it seriously.
"If you don't make it clear today, don't even think about leaving here!" Chen Haisheng's words were clear, and it seemed that he was really angry.
"You've lost your mind, it's in Tjin, and no one has been able to speak to me like that." Li Mengze smiled, "Are you right, Jade Dragon?" Taking advantage of the opportunity for everyone to turn their eyes to Jin Yulong, he flashed and left the crowd.
Not far from the crowd, there were also people watching the dispute.
"Shame on yourself, but that guy relented a little today." A man said, "Is Yang Hua here too?" ”
"Why, you want to get to know her, or I'll introduce her." The woman said harshly.
"Is it the one next to Chen Haisheng? No wonder, fuck, I just know now that guy will only be cold to men, and when he sees a beautiful woman, his heart softens, he is really horny, how did I know now! The man said fiercely, regretting that he was unladylike when he met someone, and by the way, he also solved some of the woman's problems.
Li Mengze's departure was indeed related to Yang Hua, he didn't want to see the other party's sad expression, he didn't know that Yang Hua had quietly pulled Chen Haisheng's sleeve, but he caught a glimpse of her sad expression without comment, and his heart softened, and he immediately decided to leave.
After Li Mengze left, everyone who woke up like a dream hurriedly persuaded him; In the persuasion of everyone, Chen Haisheng calmed down, but he still said cruel things to someone, but unfortunately the person concerned couldn't hear it. In fact, Li Mengze is also a little abnormal today, the reason may be related to his nervousness in the past few days, but it is undeniable that he is more dissatisfied with the other party, and perhaps, he still has something in his bones! Although the matter has passed, the rumors have risen, and some people have even involved Li Mengze in leaving Wansheng Company, and there is a version that says: He abducted the daughter of the general manager, and he couldn't get mixed up, so he had to resign and quit.
This incident caused a great shock among the old classmates, this is the first pair of their classmates for many years to fight after graduation, which is earlier than other people who don't like each other during school, and it happened between the former wind Liu character and the current star character and a former obscure character who is now impressive, can it not make people interested! However, the arguments seem to favor the former, as the latter appears to be misbehaving and appears to be the winning side. Of course, some people don't think so, after all, the West Star Company still has a lot of influence.
In this way, the festive banquet ended in a discordant atmosphere.
