Friday morning - Mother Meng Lin and wife Feng Qianru arrived in the neighboring county ahead of schedule and rested in Peng Yuanzheng's dormitory.

At ten o'clock, Wang Hao walked into Peng Yuanzheng's office "under considerable pressure" and reported to Peng Yuanzheng about the preparations for the wedding banquet in the afternoon. Recently, there was a small news in the county government organs, saying that it was because Wang Hao and Peng Yuanzheng got too close, which caused great disgust from the county magistrate Gong Hanlin, and Peng Yuanzheng's nomination to promote Wang Hao to the director of the county government office was also vetoed by Gong Hanlin.

Recently, Wang Hao also saw that Gong Hanlin looked a little unimpressed with himself. Looking for Gong Hanlin to sign and report to work, there is no time to be happy.

Wang Hao felt very helpless. But above the officialdom, he can only choose one side, and it is impossible for him to vacillate between Gong Hanlin and Peng Yuanzheng. Since he chose Peng Yuanzheng, he can only go one way to the end. Otherwise, it is not human at both ends.

"Leader, everything is arranged. Moreover, according to the requirements of the leaders, a few rooms were booked in the county hotel, and in case there were guests from other places, they could stay and rest after attending the banquet in the evening. Wang Hao smiled respectfully.

Peng Yuanzheng nodded, "Well, that's good." Out-of-town...... Someone is sure to come. ”

Peng Yuanzheng remembered that the Meng family still had relatives in other cities, and he must have greeted the Meng family in advance, and it was estimated that he would send a representative. There are also several of his college classmates in the surrounding area, who he has also contacted on the phone before, and if nothing else, a few will come.

In this way, 24 tables is really not much. His classmates, friends, relatives of the Meng family, and acquaintances from all walks of life in the city and county will not be less. Of course, the "big head" is still from the county.

Wang Hao gave him a "preventive shot", saying that the people in the county party committee and county government organs said that they would come to cheer, and there was no need to take red envelopes and eat and drink to congratulate the county leaders, how could this kind of good thing not make people rush to it!

In order to prevent accidents, Wang Hao still set the rooms on the second floor of the county reception office, in case the hall below could not be opened. Just go upstairs to make arrangements. At this point, he didn't tell Peng Yuanzheng - anyway, the "chief housekeeper" of this wedding banquet was him, and he just looked at the arrangement.

Peng Yuanzheng saw that it was not a process. It's the result.

Peng Yuanzheng let out a sigh and smiled lightly, "It seems that this time I will spend tens of thousands of yuan." ”

Wang Hao smiled bitterly: "Leader, it is a folk custom to give red envelopes to the wedding banquet, but you can refuse to accept them all and pay for the banquet yourself." This cost will certainly not be small. ”

Peng Yuanzheng smiled disappreciatively and did not continue the topic. Tens of thousands of dollars are just a number to him, how can he put it in his eyes. He organized the wedding banquet just to "cope" and save face. As for the cost, it is negligible.

"Wang Hao, you can help me make a report to the County Commission for Discipline Inspection, report the approximate number of tables and the number of people at today's banquet, and make it clear at the same time. I bear all the expenses of this banquet, and I do not accept anyone's red envelopes and gifts, and I ask the county Commission for Discipline Inspection to do a good job of filing. Peng Yuanzheng suddenly looked up at Wang Hao.

Wang Hao nodded. "Well, leader, I understand, I typed the application form from the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Anyway, when the time comes, the people from the Commission for Discipline Inspection will definitely have to go over, so by the way, please ask them to supervise. ”

"Okay." Peng Yuanzheng waved his hand, glanced at Wang Hao, and lowered his voice, "Wang Hao, thank you for me, the comrades of the county government office, wait a while." I invite everyone to dinner to show my gratitude! This time, it's hard work for everyone. ”

"The leader is too outward, and it is our job responsibility to serve the leader," Wang Hao said embarrassedly......

"There is a clear distinction between public and private, and I am embarrassed to trouble everyone for my personal private affairs." Peng Yuanzheng smiled. Suddenly, he said indifferently, "I have mentioned your work problem to County Magistrate Gong, but County Magistrate Gong's opinion is to delay it for a while, and then discuss it when the leadership team is in place." You hold your breath and do your job patiently. Personally, I'll do my best. You have been presiding over the work of the county government office for more than two years, and there should be an explanation. ”…,

"Thank you, leader!" Wang Hao's heart was hot, knowing that Peng Yuanzheng was not only comforting himself, but also a promise to himself. Peng Yuanzheng is a person who does not take promises lightly, and since he said so, it is definitely not a lie.

"By the way, leader, Lao Xie of the Public Security Bureau just discussed with me whether to arrange a few policemen to help maintain order at the scene, in case ......" Before Wang Hao's words were finished, he was resolutely interrupted by Peng Yuanzheng.

"This must not be done! In my personal affairs, I must not use police force! Peng Yuanzheng waved his hand very seriously, and said in a deep voice: "Tell Xie Hui and the comrades of the county bureau that I welcome everyone to drink, nothing else!" ”

"Okay, leader, I got it." Wang Hao shook his head secretly, knowing that he had asked in vain. At this moment, he was really very emotional in his heart, he had been in the agency for ten years, and it was really the first time he had met a leader like Peng Yuanzheng, who had a clear distinction between public and private, and who looked at material and interests as lightly.

Wang Hao turned his head and walked out of Peng Yuanzheng's office, walked in the corridor, and met a tall young woman with a delicate appearance and extraordinary bearing.

Wang Hao looked over and saw that this woman was extremely eye-catching and beautiful, so he took a second look.

The woman stopped and asked with an indifferent smile, "Comrade, excuse me, I want to ask, which office is Peng Yuanzheng in?" Is he absent? ”

The reserved look on Wang Hao's face suddenly eased, and was replaced by a smile. He is in the office, good at observing words and feelings, the young woman in front of him is very human at a glance, plus she opened her mouth to call Peng Yuanzheng by her name, obviously Peng Yuanzheng is a close personal friend.

"Hello, our county magistrate Peng is in the office, you are ......"

The woman smiled, "I'm his friend, I'm looking for something with him." ”

Wang Hao didn't dare to slack off, and said with a smile, "You come with me." ”

Wang Hao led the woman to Peng Yuanzheng's office before leaving. Peng Yuanzheng looked up and saw that it was Xu Xiao, the daughter of Xu Chunting, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, and couldn't help but get up in surprise and smiled, "Xu Xiao, why are you?" ”

Xu Xiao pouted unhappily, sat on the sofa, and said dissatisfiedly: "Peng Yuanzheng, you and Qianru are not very interesting!" You two got married, and you didn't say a word to me! You are holding a wedding in the capital, I can be regarded as a friend anyway, and I am not even qualified to attend the wedding! ”

Peng Yuanzheng smiled awkwardly: "Xu Xiao, I'm sorry, the wedding in the capital is only in a small area, that is, the relatives and friends of our two families attended it, and there were almost no outsiders." Moreover, Secretary Xu knows, and my uncle has explained it to Secretary Xu. ”

Xu Xiaoliu raised his eyebrows: "So, what about this time?" Why don't you tell me? If I hadn't heard the news and rushed over on my own initiative, would I have been in the air again? ”

Peng Yuanzheng rubbed his hands, "This...... It's not a wedding banquet, it's just that I symbolically invite my colleagues from the county and city to have a meal together...... Since you're here, let's join in the fun. ”

Xu Xiao glared at Peng Yuanzheng, "Less nonsense, where is your new daughter-in-law?" I'm going to settle accounts with her! ”

"She's in my dorm room with my mom, and I'll have someone send you there." Peng Yuanzheng smiled, grabbed the phone and asked Wang Hao to arrange a car to send Xu Xiao over.

On Xu Chunting's side, the Feng family had thought about inviting them at the wedding. But later, Peng Yuanzheng felt that since it was mainly relatives and his own people in a small area, it was not appropriate to let Xu Chunting, a prince, come forward. As for this time, it was even more difficult for him to invite people from the Xu family again.

Unexpectedly, Xu Xiao still came. But come, it's also normal. Of course, Xu Chunting and his wife are not suitable to come forward, and it is reasonable to let their daughter come over as a friend to cheer on them.

……

Since five o'clock in the afternoon, guests have arrived one after another, and Wang Hao took Huo Guangming and Tian Ming to arrange dining seats. Most of the students who came in advance were Peng Yuanzheng's classmates and friends in the city and other places, and more than a dozen came. There are also relatives of the Meng family. …,

Thirty. At the entrance of the reception office of the county party committee, the lights are colorful. Peng Yuanzheng was wearing a black suit, and Feng Qianru was wearing a goose-yellow skirt with a little powder, and the whole person looked bright and noble.

The two were waiting at the door, while their mother Meng Lin and uncle Meng Qiang were also dressed in formal clothes and were waiting on the other side as parents.

Many people were first amazed by Feng Qianru's alluring appearance, and then they were shocked by the appearance of Executive Vice Mayor Meng Qiang, which confirmed the rumor that Peng Yuanzheng was Meng Qiang's nephew.

The people in the agency came one after another, Peng Yuanzheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, there seemed to be a lot of people here. And the sweat on the forehead of the "chief manager" Wang Hao oozed a layer, and if it goes on like this, it can't be arranged at all. In desperation, Wang Hao hurriedly instructed Huo Guangming to go not far away to intercept some of them and explain kindly.

The heads and brains of various departments of the county organs also came to cheer. After that, there were some county and department-level cadres in the city, including Su Yuhuan, the head of Xin'an District, and some leaders of Xin'an District.

Although the two didn't "deal with" much, since Su Yuhuan took the initiative to come to cheer, Peng Yuanzheng naturally couldn't be rude, and instructed Wang Hao to arrange Su Yuhuan and some county and department-level cadres from the city and the county leadership to "mix" and arrange them on the same level of seats, don't slack off.

Li Xueyan and Jia Liang took all the members of the party and government team of Yunshui Town and arrived in a van. Li Xueyan stood in the distance looking at Peng Yuanzheng with complicated eyes, and slowly walked over with everyone, and when she arrived, her face was full of smiles.

"County Magistrate Peng!" Li Xueyan shook hands with Peng Yuanzheng, her little hands were cold.

"Comrade Xueyan, Lao Jia! …… Thank you all for joining us! Peng Yuanzheng sighed in his heart, and was about to say a kind word, Li Xueyan let go of his hand and greeted Feng Qianru with a smile.

Feng Qianru and these cadres in Yunshui Town are also acquaintances, and they are a little cordial when they meet. (To be continued)
