Chapter 122: Choosing a Greeting Gift
After Vice Mayor Wang went up to the third floor, he chatted with his wife, who was waiting for him upstairs, and then habitually walked into the small study, put down the document bag, and picked up the milk coffee that his wife had just made for him, and slowly tasted it.
After drinking coffee, Vice Mayor Wang took off his coat and went to the bathroom to take a shower in accordance with his usual rules of life.
After taking a shower, put on pajamas, enter the bedroom, and Vice Mayor Wang went to bed.
"Lao Wang, there is something I want to hear your opinion."
After the mayor's wife waited for her husband to get into bed and leaned her head on the silicone cushion, she also leaned her fat body over, leaned her head on Vice Mayor Wang's shoulder and said:
"Look, it's the day of Mengdu and Liping's wedding in a blink of an eye, what kind of greeting gift should we buy for the bride?
"Oh, you ask about it? Didn't I tell you, you just have to discuss the marriage of the children with Xiao Hao. Xiao Hao is very experienced in this area. β
Listening to his wife talk about his son's marriage, Vice Mayor Wang is still very concerned.
He turned to look at his wife and asked:
"Didn't you go to Xiao Hao?"
"I'm looking for it! I've been looking for him a few times. For example, how to arrange the wedding room at home, which guests to invite for the wedding wine, which wedding company to find for the host of the wedding banquet, when the children will get a marriage certificate, when to apply for a passport abroad, and how to contact and linkage with the in-laws, etc., all discuss with Xiao Hao! Don't say it, thanks to Xiao Hao's help! In terms of the child's wedding, Xiao Hao is indeed very methodical, very creative, and very capable. β
"Then what you just said about giving Liping a meeting gift, didn't you discuss it with Xiao Hao? What does Xiao Hao think? β
Vice Mayor Wang asked.
"I have also discussed the matter of the meeting gift with Xiao Hao! Xiao Hao said, I can listen to your opinion first, he is worried about what you have to consider. After hearing your opinions, we will make a final choice. β
The mayor's wife looked up and replied.
"Oh-"
After listening to his wife's explanation, Vice Mayor Wang looked up and thought for a moment, looked at his wife and said:
"What if you give Liping an Apple iPhone6 mobile phone and an iPad computer? Don't today's young people like these cutting-edge electronic products? β
"Ahem, you don't need to buy all these electronic products you said!"
The mayor's wife shook her head again and again and said:
"Xiao Hao and Zhang's family have discussed, and the marriage that Zhang's family is preparing is to buy an Apple mobile phone for the groom and the bride, as well as the Apple computer you mentioned. Listening to Xiao Hao, Zhang's family is also going to buy a Swiss watch for each of them. β
"Oh, then, what kind of gift does Xiao Hao suggest to buy for Liping?"
Vice Mayor Wang couldn't think of what kind of meeting gift to buy for his daughter-in-law for a while, so he turned his head and asked his wife.
Xiao Hao said so, he said, Liping people are beautiful, and their personalities are also docile and virtuous. Xiao Hao suggested buying Liping a set of delicate, high-grade gold jewelry and diamond jewelry. For example, a pure gold necklace hanging on the chest, with a diamond-encrusted heart lock, as well as high-end bracelets and ruby earrings made of Hetian jade, as well as rings set with sapphires, and so on. Moreover, it is best to go to SH Lao Fengxiang to buy it in our store to ensure the grade and authenticity. β
"Well, that's a good idea. It is high-grade and has a value preservation function, and it can dress the bride up beautifully! β
Vice Mayor Wang nodded in agreement on his back, thought for a moment, and asked hesitantly:
"If you buy a set of gold and silver jewelry and jade jewelry that Xiao Hao said, it will cost a lot of money, right?"
"Xiao Hao has calculated, if you go to SH Lao Fengxiang's store to buy it, plus diamonds and gemstones, it will probably cost more than 100,000 yuan, right?" The mayor's wife replied as she watched her husband's expression.
In fact, in terms of the amount of money spent, the mayor's wife was greatly ambushed.
Hao Desheng calculated with the mayor's wife that when buying the above jewelry, if the diamonds and gemstones are more than one carat, they will have to spend at least 200,000 or 300,000 yuan!
At this moment, the mayor's wife was worried that she would be opposed by her husband if the price was raised, so she deliberately concealed the true price.
"More than 100,000? That's not much. Hey, didn't you tell me that day that the mobility at home is not abundant? β
Vice Mayor Wang suddenly remembered this question, so he stared at his wife again and asked.
"Yes, the mobility at home is a little tight. However, getting married in Mengdu is a big deal, and no matter how tight the liquidity is, we have to find a way to solve it. On the issue of liquidity, I will figure it out. Well, by the way, if you don't ask, I almost forgot, that Jiang President of Huayuan Construction Company, that is, Jiang Wenhua, you took care of his last bidding, right? β
At this time, the mayor's wife saw that the opportunity had come, so she boldly looked at her husband and asked.
"Oh, you said that ginger culture? He's won a lot! Why did you mention him all of a sudden? β
Vice Mayor Wang asked very strangely.
"yes, I guess he won the bid! Could it be that the bid he won this time is bigger than the last bid? β
The mayor's wife then asked.
"Well, it's a lot more than the last bid!"
Vice Mayor Wang nodded, still asking strangely:
"Xiuhua, so dignified, why did you ask about Jiang Wenhua's winning bid?"
"Well, that's right, on the whole, I think Mr. Jiang is still a good person. I guess he probably heard the news of Mengdu's marriage from somewhere, and gave us a gift today. β
Regarding Jiang Wenhua's gift-giving, the mayor's wife told her husband as lightly as possible.
Because she knows that her husband is particularly sensitive to gifts from outsiders. She not only had to tell her husband about Jiang Wenhua's gift, but she couldn't let her husband be stimulated, and she couldn't let her husband force her to return the money.
"What do you say, gift money? Jiang Wenhua gave a gift to Mengdu? How did he know that Yumedu was married? Who told him? Let me ask you, have you told many people about your dream of getting married? β
When Vice Mayor Wang heard that Jiang Wenhua had given him a gift for his son's marriage, he sat up straight vigilantly.
"Why are you so nervous?"
The mayor's wife, still leaning on her back, said quietly:
"I'll tell you, number one, we haven't sent invitations to anybody or told anyone so far!
We only plan to send invitations to guests in the week before the National Day, and only to relatives and friends, and old neighbors and colleagues for many years, anyway, the total number will not exceed 20 tables;
Second, I guess Mr. Jiang came to give gifts, firstly, to thank you for your care of his business, and secondly, he said casually, saying that he would give some gifts to Mengdu to get married. I guess he was thinking about his dream of getting married after all, and I guessed that we wouldn't send him an invitation, so he sent the gift money in advance. β
"Well, no, no! Although it is a big deal to get married, we must not accept gifts from anyone! How many times have I told you, now, the central authorities are particularly close to the work of party style and clean government, and we can't afford to make a mistake in this! β
Vice Mayor Wang shook his head solemnly, and then said:
"Don't you know, this afternoon, the leading group of the municipal party committee also collectively studied the TV educational film of anti-corruption and clean government! At the same time, the team members also had a serious discussion! β
"Whose TV educational film is it about?"
The mayor's wife asked casually.
"Who are you asking about? It is an educational film on the corruption cases of several former provincial and ministerial-level leading cadres! β
Vice Mayor Wang replied very seriously.
"Oh, there are several educational films for former provincial and ministerial-level leading cadres, what does that have to do with us?"
When the mayor's wife heard that it was an educational film about a corruption case, she casually replied to her husband.
"Why doesn't it matter? Several of them have embezzlement, bribery and other criminal acts! β
Vice Mayor Wang warned his wife very seriously.
"Okay, okay, today, we're not going to talk about politics! Don't talk about their crimes. Lao Wang, don't worry, now, you haven't become such a big official! We can't make that mistake! β
The mayor's wife shook her head in disinterested.
"This is not a problem of big officials and small officials, if there is a problem with the official meeting, there will be a problem with the small officials. Haven't you heard? At present, the anti-corruption storm in the central government is 'fighting tigers and flies together'. Hey, don't talk about it so far, tell me quickly, today, how much gift money did that Jiang culture give? β
"How much money can he give? , it's enough to buy some jewelry or something, right? β
The mayor's wife deliberately fought with her husband and did not say the specific number.
"Just enough to buy some jewelry? Are you saying enough to buy Liping's jewelry? Isn't that at least more than 100,000? Isn't it still a lot to call more than 100,000?! β
Vice Mayor Wang listened to his wife's words and immediately widened his eyes.
"Oh, whose child gets married and who doesn't receive a gift? Just your special name! It seems that you are the most incorruptible and the least cannibalistic in the world! Okay, okay, if you think it's too much, I'll give it back to him tomorrow, isn't that okay? β
The mayor's wife glanced at her husband with displeasure.
"Well, that's a must! If you should pay it back, you must pay it back! I'm still saying that we can't afford to fall on this kind of thing! β
Vice Mayor Wang agreed with his wife's statement.
"Okay, what should be paid back must be repaidββ! Don't worry! Now go to sleep. Tomorrow, I will go to Xiao Hao to discuss my son's marriage according to your request! β
The mayor's wife pretended to be very disappointed, removed her fat body from her husband's back, and lay flat on the bed. Then, he lifted the air conditioner quilt with his hand and covered his chest indiscriminately.
When Vice Mayor Wang saw his wife lying down, he followed suit.
He was about to close his eyes, when he suddenly remembered the little nanny downstairs, so he turned to his wife and asked:
"Hey, the little nanny downstairs, how are you feeling these two days?"
"How's the mood? Didn't you talk to her just now? β
The wife did not answer her husband below.
"Just now, I only spoke to her for a few words, and you called me up."
Vice Mayor Wang replied angrily.
"Well, let me tell you, in the past two days, Reiko's condition is very stable! Moreover, it can also be said that she has been in a good mood these days! Today, when Mr. Jiang came to give the gift money, it was Reiko who helped to accept it.
When giving the gift money, Mr. Jiang also gave her a little meaning by the way, and she told me truthfully. It seems that the results of the ideological and political work you have done have been very good! β
In order to alleviate the somewhat serious atmosphere just now, and to divert Vice Mayor Wang's attention, the mayor's wife took the opportunity to pour her husband sweet soup.
"Oh, isn't her marriage to Mengdu and Liping as intense as the previous two days? Also, did she ask you about compensation? β
Vice Mayor Wang continued to ask his wife.
"No, I don't. Since you talked to her, she's in a much better mood than the other day! You told her about her salary increase, and she didn't have any opinion. When I pay her salary next month, I will give her an extra 200 yuan, which can be regarded as a kind of comfort to her soul! Also, I told her that when the marriage between Mengdu and Liping is completed, I will compensate her when I have enough money. It can be seen that Reiko, this girl, may need money at home! β
The mayor's wife reviewed Reiko's performance in the past two days, and briefly described Reiko's situation to her husband.
"Well, it's good that you're doing that. For a girl like Reiko, money is one aspect, and ideological work must also keep up at the same time. We must not let her mind get into a dead end! At the same time, she must not lose confidence in her future.
Only in this way will she work with peace of mind, and she will not think about asking Mengdu for an explanation and having a wedding from time to time. Oh, by the way, tomorrow you tell her, in the future, no matter who comes to give gifts or money, tell her not to accept anything! If you save it, you will return it again, and if you don't make a good fuss, it will cause gossip and unnecessary trouble! β
Vice Mayor Wang talked around for a while, and then went around to the topic of giving gifts and receiving money.
"Okay, I'll tell her tomorrow, don't worry. Go to bed. β
When the mayor's wife saw that her husband had turned to his side, and that he was in the mood to sleep, she reached out and extinguished the round ceiling lamp on the ceiling.
