Chapter 272: The Family Banquet of the Wealthy Family (1)
The sea in the evening is resplendent, mysterious and beautiful.
As the sun sets, the sky burns with an orange-red sunset, and the sea is dyed golden with this glow. The glow reflected on the crest of the wave was like a piece of burning flame, flickering and rolling, wave after wave. The glass curtain wall of Linhai Hotel is shimmering with sparkling light waves under the glow of the sun and the waves......
Listening to the gentle "brushing" sound of the sea water and the fresh and cool sea breeze blowing make people feel refreshed and relaxed. Xia Yao is a well-deserved protagonist tonight, and as soon as he got out of the car, he was pulled out of the lobby by his mother-in-law Wu Xiulan, and he was greeted with Ding Aiguo and his wife.
"I haven't seen you for a year, but our Xia Yao is getting more and more beautiful."
The second aunt was dressed in jewels, no one dared to believe that she was a rural woman facing the loess with her back to the sky, and the second uncle Wu Xiucheng, who was meticulously combed with her hair, got out of the car, and took out a red envelope from her bag and stuffed it into Xia Yao's hand: "This is last year's New Year's money, there are those who have not started a family, you are not there for the New Year, make up for it today, and you will not be happy if you don't accept your aunt." ”
"Thank you, aunt." Xia Yao not only experienced it once, but even knew what her mother-in-law Wu Xiulan did during the New Year.
"This kid is sensible!"
Wu Xiucheng praised a sentence, glanced around with the big brother bag that seemed to never leave him, and asked suspiciously: "Sister, Director Ding, what about the charter?" ”
Without waiting for Wu Xiulan to speak, Ding Aiguo smiled and said, "There is something to do, it will be there soon." You guys go up first, the old place, Zhenghuai and Xu Ping have just arrived. You two go up and talk to them for a while. ”
Chen Zhenghuai's official is getting bigger and bigger. Wu Xiucheng really didn't know what he could say to others when he went up. said with a bitter face: "Director Chen is such a big leader, is it appropriate for me to accompany him?" Director Ding, if my sister and I are here to entertain guests, you and Section Chief Gu will go up to accompany your in-laws. ”
Ding Aiguo patted him on the arm and urged: "He is such a big leader, you are still such a big boss!" Besides, today is San'er's treat, and the world is not as big as your uncle, don't rub it off. Let's go up. ”
According to the rules of his hometown, his uncle is indeed the biggest.
Weddings and funerals, and even the separation of the family had to invite his uncle back to take charge, Wu Xiucheng thought about this reason, so he walked into the lobby with his wife.
As soon as they went upstairs, the eldest aunt and aunt, and the eldest aunt and the eldest aunt and the eldest aunt and the eldest aunt Immediately afterwards, Wu Xiaolian, who went to the airport to pick up her parents-in-law, also rushed over, and several families had a greeting at the gate.
Today is the second time in ten years that the Zhang family has been treated seriously after Zhang Lin was admitted to Hujiang University of Science and Technology, Wu Xiulan is very attentive and looks at her watch from time to time. I am not only worried that the guests above are in a hurry, but also afraid of neglecting the guests who are on the way.
"Patriotic, Hongxia. Do Senior Commander Wang and Political Commissar Gu know that they are here? ”
"Yes, it's not like they haven't been here."
"San'er is really, I know that I have a treat today, but I haven't come yet, Xia Yao, why don't you call him again and ask if you want to pick it up?"
"Mom, I hit it just now, and he was also on the way, and he was sent by the city's assigned car."
Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, as soon as Xia Yao's voice fell, a black Audi sedan slowly stopped in front of the hotel, pushed the car door, said hello to the driver, and ran over with a smile.
"Mom, Uncle Ding, Auntie, who are you waiting for?"
Ding Aiguo waved his hand and smiled casually: "It's none of your business here, you and Xia Yao go up to greet the guests first, and we will be there soon." ”
"It's really none of us?"
"Not really."
The charter didn't like to engage in these red tapes the most, so after talking to Ding Wenming's mother Gu Hongxia for a while, he took the elevator with Xia Yao to the banquet hall on the third floor. Although he and Xia Yao are the masters today, it is not him who is in charge, as soon as he walked into the hall, he saw Chen Zhenghuai arranging seats with his eyebrows fluttering.
"Changhe, Baodong, you two sit over there, and the prosperity will pass."
The direction of his finger was the main position, Chen Changhe hesitated, his son Chen Baodong also stayed next to his little nephew Bingbing, and Su Xingyun, who was sitting at the same table with his father-in-law and mother-in-law, shook his head again and again: "Chen ...... Old...... Uncle Chen, I'm ...... It's good for me to sit here, you are an elder, and that position should be for you and your uncle and second uncle. ”
"You kid, you're quite feudal."
Chen Zhenghuai patted the table and said in an unquestionable tone: "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, now it is the world of you young people, the charter, civilization, Zhang Bing, Xiaozhu, and Xiaojun will arrive soon, you brothers and brothers-in-law finally get together once, how can you not sit together to contact and contact feelings?" ”
He is good to others, but it is useless for his own son, Chen Baodong snorted behind him, and reminded with a smile: "Dad, the charter and Xia Yao have arrived!" ”
"Ah, here?"
His look of surprise caused everyone to laugh.
Respecting the old and loving the young is the fine tradition of the Chinese nation, no matter how much money the charter has, how much ability he has, here he is only Wu Xiufeng, Wu Xiucheng, Chen Zhenghuai, Zhang Shuren...... waited for the juniors to hurriedly say hello one by one.
"It's still the same sentence, today you young people sit together, Wenming, Zhang Bing, and Xiaozhu have all arrived, so let's go over a few of your brothers. Xu Ping, Aifang, your task is to accompany your parents-in-law from Hong Kong. ”
Liu Siwei's parents, who had no sense of superiority in front of the Zhang family, did not have any sense of superiority in front of him, the director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the Hujiang Municipal People's Government, and a department-level cadre who had been replaced by a fake, so they quickly got up and said with a smile in stiff Mandarin: "Director Chen, we are all family, so you can leave us alone." ”
"My family, you are Hong Kong compatriots, I am the director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, and it is my task to receive you. Sit down, I'll come back and toast you later. ”
So, nearly 100 relatives and friends sat down one by one under his arrangement.
Charter, Ding Wenming, Zhang Bing, Wu Xiaozhu, Wu Xiaojun, Chen Changhe, Su Xingyun and others sat at a table; Xia Yao, Chen Baolin, Wu Xiaolian, Xia Ning and others sat at a table; Wu Xiulan, Tian Qiuju, Gu Hongxia, Xu Ping, Ge Aifang and Liu Siwei's mothers sat at a table; The eldest uncle Wu Xiufeng, the second uncle Wu Xiucheng and the eldest uncle and younger uncle of the charter are Liu Siwei's father......
The quietest table in the corner was reserved for him, Ding Aiguo, Chen Shikang, Wang Yuanzheng and Gu Xinyuan, who had just arrived, all of whom were active or retired soldiers. Men sit with men, women sit with women, peers with peers, children play with children, no matter what priority, but it is also lively.
There is a place in the charter, but it is not so easy to sit down, as soon as the table opens, he walked to Chen Zhenghuai's seat with a cup, and asked with a smile at the two elders he had seen when he was a child: "Uncle Wang, Uncle Gu, I have to go to work tomorrow, I can only replace wine with tea, you two won't care about me, right?" ”
Looking at the young and promising young man in front of him, Master Wang Yuanzheng really had the feeling of "giving birth to a son should be like a chapter to aid the dynasty", and glanced at his old comrades-in-arms Gu Xinyuan and Chen Zhenghuai, and teased: "San'er, you are now a rich man, if you delay you for a minute, you will earn hundreds of thousands less, I really want to get you drunk, delay for more than ten or twenty hours, even if I smash the pot and sell iron, my uncle can't afford to pay it!" So this wine, I drink it with your Uncle Chen and Uncle Ding, anyway, they are fine, and it is no problem to lie down for ten days and eight days. ”
Chen Zhenghuai was not happy, put down the wine glass and said: "Master Wang, local cadres are not cadres?" Don't compare me with patriotism. Besides, with the amount of alcohol you drink, who can you pour down? ”
One is a full-division officer, and the other is a department-level cadre, and theoretically they are at the same level.
However, in this general environment of economic construction as the center, officers with the rank of senior division are really inferior to cadres at the department level, and they are also substantive cadres at the department level in the country's largest city.
Wang Yuanzheng didn't care about that, and replied with a very disdainful look: "Director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, isn't he just accompanying the bosses of Hong Kong and Macao to eat and drink?" Although you are on the local alcohol test, it is not so easy to scare me with this, I will first clink glasses with San'er, and then clean you up later. ”
Chen Zhenghuai snorted coldly, snapped, took out two bottles of Moutai from the table, and said provocatively: "Clean me up, and I'm not afraid of flashing my tongue!" ”
Gu Xinyuan laughed breathlessly, waved his hand again and again: "Lao Wang, your bluff doesn't work against Lao Chen, we are weak today, we can't get them to rinse their mouths with Moutai, let's get down to business first." ”
There are only two people on active duty, and four or five people who have changed jobs, so it really can't be done.
The hero does not suffer the loss in front of him, Wang Yuanzheng borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and said: "Yes, yes, yes, let's get down to business first." San'er, there are a few people under me and your Uncle Gu, all of whom are outside, and one is from your father's battalion, you can watch and arrange it. ”
There is no doubt that those people must be the bodyguards that Chen Zhenghuai asked them to find.
Everyone is here, and they can't refuse if they want to, not to mention that this is a kindness from others, and the charter can only smile and say: "Uncle Wang, Uncle Gu, let you worry, I'll let Xiaozhu invite them in." ”
Things went more smoothly than expected, Chen Zhenghuai nodded with satisfaction, pointed to the table in the middle of the banquet hall and said: "They have all eaten, you don't care about us here, just drink the tea in the cup and just take a look, civilization, Xiaozhu and Changhe are waiting for you." ”
Today is a family dinner, and it is not appropriate to call a few strangers in. He toasted tea instead of wine, and then returned to his table.
Ding Wenming's eyes were red and he looked very haggard. Charter poured him a glass of milk and asked with concern, "How many days have you not had a good night's sleep?" ”
Ding Wenming yawned and smiled casually: "I sleep every day, I don't stay up late, I just can't sleep well." It's good to get through these two months, and get a good night's sleep when things are done. ”
With billions of dollars in bets, it would take at least five years for NB Electric Group to smooth out the deficit of NB Bank if it loses. As the Group Vice President in charge of the investment department, the pressure on his shoulders can be imagined. (To be continued......)
