Chapter 275: Onion and Ginger

The 30-year-old man had a 14-year-old daughter, and he had the daughter of an American judge, who is said to have made the American judge so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and finally went to court for custody.

Such a matter of making a long face for the Chinese is not only known to the ministry leaders, but also the provincial leaders are laughing about.

I didn't think that I hadn't finished laughing, and I hadn't found a chance to tease Director Han in person, and I broke the joke that my fourteen-year-old daughter was going to hold a wedding for her father and mother.

After Peng Xiangyuan mentioned it once, Governor Yu has been very concerned, and he wants to know very much whether Han Jun has included him in the guest list, whether the little girl will send him an invitation, and he wants to know what the wedding will be like for the little girl.

A month has passed, and there is no movement at all, so the secretary has inquired privately, only to learn that others have not received the invitation, and the wedding date has still not been finalized.

The child, who has just come from the United States, is unfamiliar with the place, does not understand the situation, and may not be able to find a place to buy something.

Just when he thought that "Little Onion" had died down and was about to wait for her father and mother to come back from the United States to make further plans, "Little Onion" came, and together with Ginger he visited the provincial government with a small bag on his back.

Governor Yu was very happy, and after seeing the last director who came to report on the work in the morning, he personally invited the two girls who had been waiting for nearly half an hour into the office, and asked the secretary to hurry up to find something that the little girl liked to eat, and asked with a pleasant face: "Little onion, Uncle Yu already knew that you came to China, but he has been too busy to see you, how does he feel about this city, are you used to it?" ”

Governor Yay!

Yaoyao was very excited, put down the small bag and said incoherently: "Mr. Governor, this place is amazing, I like this city under your rule." Loved all the people in the city. ”

The governor is the governor, I can't explain it to her.

Governor Yu smiled and greeted Jiang Yi sideways: "Little Jiang, I have heard your master, Vice Governor Peng, and Director Yan talk about you many times. Know you've solved a lot of big cases. It's amazing, a famous teacher is a high apprentice, and he didn't embarrass your master. ”

Jiang Yi was both excited and nervous, and hesitated outside the provincial government for more than an hour before calling Director Yan at Yaoyao's urging. She clutched her bag. After being stunned for a while, he smiled embarrassedly: "Thank you Governor Yu for your concern, it is the responsibility of our police to solve the case, and those are all what I should do." ”

"Don't be restrained, there are no superiors and subordinates today, only elders and juniors."

"Yes."

"Here we go again."

Governor Yu pretended to be unhappy, and when he saw Yaoyao take out an invitation card from her bag, she immediately asked with a smile: "Little onion, has the wedding date of your father and Professor Zhang been confirmed?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Governor."

The pink invitations are delicate and sophisticated, with a hint of fragrance. It is printed in brown letters: Dear Mr. Governor, you are very welcome to the wedding banquet of Han Jun and Zhang Lin, and sincerely invite you to share our sweetness and happiness! Then there is the wedding time, place and the signature of the "onion" from the person who sent the invitation in both English and Chinese.

In addition to the invitation, the large envelope is accompanied by two sheets of paper and a small envelope.

The first piece of paper reads: We are greedy, and we want a lot of gifts, please look - there is a long list of product names densely listed below.

Stainless steel dinner plates, glass vases, plates, knives and forks, chopsticks, aprons, rubber gloves, toiletries, paper towels and some small things such as teddy bears, and detailed information such as the brand, model, price, which shopping mall and which counter can be bought in which shopping mall, and even special indication of which color they wanted, apparently they had repeatedly seen it in advance.

There is a URL at the bottom of the gift list. Indicate that if it is inconvenient to go to the mall, you can shop online.

At the same time, it was made clear that it could not be sent, but it could only be sent, and the most expensive was only 48 yuan, and Governor Yu was ridiculed. Pointing to the list, he asked, "Little onion, that's all you need?" ”

Yaoyao nodded heavily and confirmed with a serious face: "Yes, Mr. Governor, we need these. Receiving these gifts can make the most of them without leaving them idle and wasteful. ”

Americans are too realistic. But then again, it's more realistic for Chinese to send money. Governor Yu made up his mind to buy the most expensive stainless steel dinner plate, put down the gift list, and picked up the second piece of paper.

This is a receipt that I received when I went abroad to study "R.S.V.P." The invitation, not an English abbreviation, is an abbreviation of the French phrase "rΓ©pondez, silvouspla?t", which roughly means "please reply".

Traditional etiquette, whether you accept the invitation or not, you must reply out of politeness. Also, there's a prompting question in this reply asking if you'll accept the invitation, so they can determine how much food and drink they need to prepare based on the number of responders.

The reply envelope was stamped, and the address and recipient were written.

Governor Yu felt very funny, put down the reply letter and envelope and said with a smile: "Little onion, little ginger, I am honored to accept your invitation, and after communicating with my wife and daughter, I will reply to you whether you are alone or a family." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Governor, and I look forward to your family attending my dad and Lynn's wedding, and it will make us feel ...... Disheveled...... ...... Peng"

Jiang Yiqiang couldn't help but laugh and reminded softly: "Peng Shen is shining." ”

"Yes, Bloom."

It was so interesting, Governor Yu asked with interest: "Little Onion, can you reveal how many guests you will invite and what activities you have prepared?" ”

Yaoyao replied without thinking: "We have prepared three hundred and twenty-three six invitations, and the specific number of guests depends on the reply." ”

"So many people?"

"Yes, we can handle it, we are well prepared. As for the event, I don't know what you mean, but I can only tell you that it will be a very grand, romantic, and enjoyable wedding. ”

There are some things that have to be paid attention to, and Governor Yu asked quietly: "How much does it cost?" ”

"20,000 yuan, maybe more than 20,000, but never more than 30,000. We are on a budget and these must be taken into account. ”

It's normal to spend 30,000 yuan to get married, but it's not normal to spend 30,000 yuan to invite so many people.

Governor Yu couldn't help but smile and asked, "Little onion, isn't the budget a little small?" More than 300 people are 30 tables, and it may cost 40 tables to bring your family together, and 30,000 yuan may not even be enough to buy cigarettes, alcohol and candy. ”

Jiang Yi was very embarrassed, Yaoyao didn't care so much, and said confidently: "Mr. Governor, smoking is harmful to health, we don't provide cigarettes; Alcoholic beverages are not good for the body, especially strong alcohol, and it can be very uncomfortable when drunk, so we only prepare beer on tap. As for the candy, we don't feel like it's necessary, it's not in the plan, and it won't be provided. ”

No cigarettes, no alcohol, no candy, what kind of wedding.

Governor Yu almost burst out laughing, and asked again, "Then what to eat and drink?" ”

"We prepare very delicious cakes and desserts, and prepare very tasty Western and Chinese food, such as hot dogs, fried bacon, fruit salad, potato goulash, various vegetables, egg fried rice and fried noodles and so on. In addition, I am looking for volunteers, who can have a BBQ on the spot and do some self-service barbecue. ”

No wonder the marriage was put at home, it turned out to be to save money.

Don't let the guests spend more money, and don't waste money yourself, it's really good to think about it, Governor Yu muttered: "So I don't ask for wedding etiquette, I don't invite someone to take a camera, and I don't even take wedding photos." ”

"Shoot, shoot live, shoot yourself. In fact, it's hard for me to understand why Chinese people have to go to wedding photo studios to take pictures. It's a very unique industry that I've never seen before here. ”

Jiang Yi didn't want her to make any strange remarks, so she hurriedly added: "Governor Yu, we don't have any more expenses except renting tables and chairs from the convention and exhibition company, preparing food and drinks, and chartering a big passenger to pick up my master's relatives and friends from his hometown. If you can be thrifty, you will be thrifty, and you will never be extravagant and wasteful. ”

"Well done, that's what you should do, I'm very happy to be at such a wedding, if I don't have an important meeting that day, I will definitely go, if I can't take a break, I will let my lover and my daughter be representatives."

"Thank you."

Seeing that the two girls wanted to speak and stopped, Governor Yu immediately got up and said with a smile: "I know that you have to send a lot of invitations, so don't delay your time, let's get busy." Come over after the delivery, I'll invite you to dinner at noon, in the government cafeteria. ”

Mr. Governor was too understanding, Yaoyao gave him a warm hug, kissed him on the cheek, and together with Jiang Yi, accompanied by a secretary of the provincial government office, visited the provincial leaders at home one by one.

As soon as they left, Governor Yu sighed with Director Yan, who was standing on the side laughing and silent: "Onion ginger, ginger onion, you see how sensible these two girls are, Xiao Han is blessed." ”

"Well educated, my girls have gone to college, and they really look like an ignorant child compared to Little Onion."

"The key is the trust in the child, the wedding is such a big event, and it is said that let the child be the master, and we parents will definitely not be able to do it."

"It's worth reflecting on, so I must let my girl see and see how people do it. By the way, Han Jun sent me an email yesterday, he met with the ITC officials in charge of investigating the steel mill case, and thought that there was little hope of winning the case, but the increase in the tax rate could be sought, and it was estimated that it could be controlled within 20%. ”

It is not Jianggang's family that is being investigated, as long as the anti-dumping duty is less than others, Governor Yu pondered for a moment, and sighed lightly: "The steel industry is repetitively built, the production capacity is strict, and there are not many high-end products, so it can only be vicious competition, and it is already very good to be able to control it within 20%." ”

Steel prices continue to decline, this topic is too heavy, Director Yan hurriedly said: "Professor Qi's company's listing plan has been fully launched, Han Jun said that investors are very interested, and the listing is very sure." If nothing else, it will be listed on the NASDAQ by the end of the year. ”

The province has invested, the provincial SASAC is the major shareholder, this is definitely good news, Governor Yu smiled with satisfaction: "The company opened by high-level talents introduced from overseas, and then helped by the high-level talents introduced from overseas to go public, which shows that our talent strategy has played a role, and we must publicize it after the successful listing." ”
