On the 14th, Ye Ming and Xia Chuchu did not go out shopping, but stayed at home and were busy making various preparations. 【Latest Chapter Reading】

Since the afternoon, Ye Ming's mobile phone has been busy. First of all, Xu Fei, director of the Municipal Bureau, called to congratulate him and Chu Chu, and said that he and Zou Wenming would rush to the provincial bureau tonight and come to drink the wedding wine on time at noon tomorrow.

Next, Yan Lian, deputy secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Hu Tong, director of the Law Enforcement and Supervision Office of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, Chen Guitian, head of the Criminal Investigation Corps of the Provincial Public Security Department, and Liang Tanghua, director of the K City Public Security Bureau, called one after another to congratulate Ye Ming, and said that they had received a call invitation from Director Xia, and they would definitely come over tomorrow to drink a few glasses of happy wine + It turned out that Xia Bicheng couldn't hold back his joy, and yesterday he called these people who knew that Ye Ming and Chu Chu were going to get engaged in Xinleng in advance, and told them the specific engagement time. And invite them to come and drink the joyful wine.

Ye Ming was originally going to inform them personally in the evening, but he didn't expect Xia Bicheng to call first, and he was a little embarrassed in his heart, so he had to give them a warm welcome and say a lot of thanks.

At about four o'clock, Ye Ming suddenly received another strange phone call. As soon as the phone was connected, I heard a very rich and kind baritone voice coming from inside: "Hello, are you Director Ye Mingye?" ”

Ye Ming heard him call his name, and he couldn't tell which one it was at all, so he wondered in his heart, so he had to politely reply: "Hello, I'm Ye Ming." Excuse me, are you-"

The person on the phone smiled heartily and said, "I'm Guo Guangwei from the Provincial Public Security Department." Just now I heard Captain Chen Guitian in our hall say that Director Ye and Miss Xia Chuchu will have a good relationship tomorrow. Captain Chen said: Director Ye and he and Director Liang of the K City Public Security Bureau are very good friends, both of them will come to drink wine tomorrow, and ask me if I want to come with them to see the demeanor of Director Ye, a young talent? I said: Although Director Ye and I have never known each other in our lives, I have heard Director Ye's name for a long time, and I also know Director Ye's heroic deeds of saving Secretary Li of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and I really want to come to meet you, a young hero. Therefore, tomorrow I also want to come over with Captain Chen and Director Liang to ask for a glass of wine and express my heartfelt congratulations to you and Miss Xia Chuchu. It's just that I don't know if Director Ye will think that I'm too presumptuous to be an uninvited guest? Hahaha! ”

It turned out that after Chen Guitian returned to the Provincial Public Security Department from Xinleng, he told Guo Guangwei: Ye Ming will soon be engaged to the star daughter of Xia Bicheng, director of the Provincial Local Taxation Bureau, and at that time, Secretary Lu and Secretary Li of the Provincial Party Committee will attend their engagement ceremony. Moreover, it is said that Secretary Lu is also a big media for Ye Ming and Xia Chuchu.

As soon as Guo Guangwei heard Chen Guitian's report, he immediately realized that this was the best opportunity for him to further close his relationship with Secretary Lu and Secretary Li. Therefore, he told Chen Guitian at that time: Once he learned the specific time of Ye Ming and Xia Chuchu's engagement, he must tell him in time. When the time came, he personally called Ye Ming and asked him to invite him to his engagement ceremony in the name of congratulations......

Ye Ming couldn't help but be startled when he heard that the person who called him turned out to be Guo Guangwei, director of the Provincial Public Security Department, and heard that he was very modest and very cordial on the phone, remembering that he had spared no effort to help himself and Gong Zhichao, he was very moved in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Director Guo, thank you for your concern and blessings!" If you have time to have a glass of wine tomorrow, Chu Chu and I will feel very honored. Our engagement ceremony is scheduled for 12:18 p.m. tomorrow, so please be sure to come by then! ”

Guo Guangwei happily replied: "Okay, okay! I'll be there on time! ”

After hanging up Guo Guangwei's phone, Ye Ming suddenly remembered several old friends: one is Qing Tao, the former secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of K City and the current mayor of the provincial capital, the other is Wang Xiuguang, the former mayor of K City and the current director of the Provincial Department of Land and Resources, and Shen Youbin, the former secretary of the Xinleng County Party Committee and the current deputy director of the Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission-these three people have all said that if he has any happy events, he must call them.

So, he called them one by one and invited them to come and have a glass of wine. Qingtao and Shen Youbin were very happy to accept his invitation. And Wang Xiuguang, at this time, was doing research in the land and land bureaus of the prefectures and prefectures below, just went down for a day, and was going to spend a week investigating several prefectures and prefectures in a row, but when he heard Ye Ming call to invite him to attend the engagement ceremony, the research was not done, and immediately agreed to Ye Ming's invitation very happily, and then rushed back to the provincial capital overnight......

In the evening, Lu Nianzi and Zhang Linjiang also rushed to Tianjiang Provincial Capital by plane, met with Ye Ming and Xia Chuchu, and gave Xia Chuchu a pair of jade bracelets, and then went to live in the Provincial Party Committee Guest House.

In order to ensure that the engagement ceremony was secret and free from outside interference, and for the safety of Secretary Lu and Secretary Li, Xia Bicheng secretly instructed the director of the provincial bureau office to charter a banquet hall and all the boxes in the "Fumanlou" restaurant where the engagement ceremony was held, and asked the restaurant to change the main entrance and exit to the back door - because the back door is facing the parking lot, and there are few people coming and going. Secretary Lu and Secretary Li should not enter or exit from the front door, so they can only get off from here and go directly to the banquet hall inside.

Xu Lizhong, who was in charge of Secretary Lu's security work, went to the hotel one day before to investigate the surrounding environment and Secretary Lu's route in and out of the hotel, and at ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, more than a dozen guards were transferred from the Security Bureau to guard all the gates of the banquet hall, and several guard sentry posts were arranged near the parking lot, just in case. All the guests who entered and exited the banquet hall had to be greeted by Ye Ming in person at the back door before he could bring them into the banquet hall.

Before 11 o'clock in the morning of the 15th, Qing Tao, Yan Lian, Guo Guangwei, Hu Tong, Chen Guitian, Liang Tanghua, Wang Xiuguang, Shen Youbin, Xu Fei, Zou Wenming and others all came to the "Fumanlou" restaurant early, and after shaking hands with Xia Bicheng one by one, they congratulated Ye Ming and Xia Chuchu, who were standing at the door hand in hand to greet the guests, and handed over the red envelope of congratulatory gifts.

Then, these people all gathered at the door, chatting tacitly, but their eyes kept looking out of the door, waiting for Secretary Lu and Secretary Li to come over.

It wasn't until twelve o'clock that Secretary Lu and Secretary Li came together, and said some congratulatory words to Ye Ming and Xia Chuchu with a smile on their faces at the door, and then walked into the banquet hall surrounded by a couple of newcomers, and shook hands with the guests one by one very cordially and kindly.

According to Secretary Lu's instructions, this engagement ceremony was held very briefly, but the atmosphere was very warm. During the meal, only two tables were opened, with Secretary Lu sitting at one table and Secretary Li sitting at one table. Ye Ming, Xia Chuchu, and Xia Bicheng sat at Secretary Lu's table, and at this table were Qing Tao, Guo Guangwei, Yan Lian, and Hu Tong. In addition, because Xu Fei, Zou Wenming, and Zhang Yingzhi, the director of the provincial TV station, are all direct leaders of Ye Ming or Xia Chuchu, they are also fortunate to be at the same table with Secretary Lu. The rest of the people, including Xia Chuchu's mother, Zeng Yanhua, all sat at another table with Secretary Li.

Since today is his son's big day, Secretary Lu is in a very good mood, making an exception to toast everyone a few glasses of wine, and for the people who came to toast, they did not shirk, everyone toasted the wine, so that everyone felt extra honored and happy.
