38. Five-party consultation

At about 5 p.m. on January 31, 1997, Cai Shi, a representative from other places, arrived in Shanghai, which was also the plane that Jiang Xiayu went to pick up (Boss Cai was on the plane). In this way, the representatives from the field are all together. After dinner, Zhao Jinju called Lin Jie and told her that everyone for the meeting had come, and asked her to come to the company's small conference room for a meeting at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.

The meeting venue was selected in the small conference room of "Gold Company". The company's small conference room is on the third floor of the company's office building. It can accommodate about 10 people. In the middle is an oval table surrounded by ten upholstered sofa chairs. To the right of the entrance is a small water dispenser bucket that automatically boils water. There is also a large cabinet on the left, which contains tea sets and tea leaves. The person in charge of this small conference room is Tang Tiantian, who is the office secretary. Does the reader remember? Jiang Xiayu came to Shanghai to look for his mother, stayed at Sanyou Hotel, and called the company and told the company that he was Zhao Jinju's son. The one who answered the phone was Miss Tang. Miss Tang was just an ordinary staff member at that time, because she kept Zhao Jinju confidential, Tang Tiantian was promoted to office secretary. Tang Tiantian has a strict mouth and is suitable for being a secretary. Although Zhao Jinju is not the general manager now, she can still mobilize Tang Tiantian. Originally, the conference room was under the management of the secretary, and she was relieved to be in charge of the reception of the meeting. She had promised Tang Tiantian that she would tell her one day, and today just let her understand.

The meeting was attended by people from five quarters.

The first aspect is the organizer, the host Zhao Jinju, who represents her sons Jiang Xiayu and Hu Qiuguo, who are considered to be the men's representatives; The second party is Zhang Ping'an, who represents his son Jiang Xiayu and daughter Cheng Chunyan. Both of them are represented by their biological mothers, and it is estimated that Zhang Ping'an cannot represent them; The third-party representative is Cheng Fengjiao, she is Cheng Chunyan, the mother of Liu Hongyan's two daughters, and she undoubtedly represents them; The fourth party representative is Lin Jie, who represents her daughter Liu Xuefen; The fifth party is represented by Cai Shi, representing his son Cai Fuqing.

Zhao Jinju, the host of the meeting, said: "First of all, on behalf of the Zhao family, I welcome everyone to Shanghai, if there is anything neglected, please forgive me!" Secondly, our meeting is a consultation meeting, and everyone is here for the marriage of our children, so we should discuss more and understand more. Finally, there are three elements of this meeting. One is the location of the wedding; the second is the time of the event; The third is where to go after the wedding. ”

Lin Jiexian said: "The wedding was undoubtedly held in Shanghai. 1. Shanghai is the center; Second, Shanghai is concentrated, accounting for half of the number; 3. Personnel from the five parties, Shanghai accounted for two parties. This saves money and trouble. ”

Cai said: "If you want to talk about the center, of course Beijing is the center, Beijing is the capital of the motherland, politics, economy, culture, etc., which is not centered on Beijing, how did it become Shanghai as the center?" Besides, you don't need to save money, you are all big bosses, do you still rely on saving money on children's marriages? ”

"Boss Cai is far away, this is not to discuss politics, but to talk about the marriage of children. Besides, if you have money, you can't use it indiscriminately! If you can save it, of course it's good, why bother asking for hardship. Lin Jie said.

Cheng Fengjiao caught it and said: "In this way, Huai'an is the center." Beijing and Shanghai are in the north and south of Huai'an, and Huai'an is the center. Besides, there are two participants in the marriage, there are two in my family, which can be regarded as concentrated, if you add that Jiang Xiayu is from Huai'an, it will be half of the number, can you say that it is not centralized? ”

Zhao Jinju hurriedly said: "Sister Fengjiao, how can Jiang Xiayu be considered Huai'an?" Her hukou is in Leping, not in Huai'an. ”

Zhang Ping'an said: "I can't say, my son Jiang Xiayu is Leping's, and Cheng Chunyan is Huai'an's, if it is based on her father, then she is Leping's, if this is the case, Leping has two participants, is it considered that Leping will hold a wedding?" ”

Cheng Fengjiao said: "Old classmate, you are too whimsical, Chunyan calls you Dad, it's good, why do you still want to turn her into a Leping person?" As for Jiang Xiayu, what's wrong with the hukou in Leping, the hukou can be moved, I still want to move him to Huai'an? It depends on whether the little sister agrees. When it comes to holding a wedding in Leping, it is even more impossible, there is inconvenient transportation, and it is not suitable for it! ”

Zhao Jinju did not reply to Cheng Fengjiao's relocation of Huai Anzhi, but said: "I think Lin Jiemei is right when the venue of this wedding is held, the center is not the center, but the concentration of personnel is objective." If Zhang Ping'an is the most convenient to come to Shanghai, then the people who move are people from Beijing and Huai'an. It is unfair for the Cai family to go to Huai'an and the Cheng Liu family to go to Beijing, and it is reasonable to go one section each. Besides, it was held in Shanghai, and it was held by both parties, and Lin Jiemei and I agreed that this was the majority. There is also a film and television band held in Shanghai, we can choose the film and television band of "Gold Company", which is convenient and good, why not, what do you think? ”

The man sitting at the table, you look at me, I look at him, as if no one objected. Zhao Jinju said: "Since no one objected to it, it will be held in Shanghai, and I suggest that Lin Jiemei be in charge!" ”

Lin Jie hurriedly said: "No, no, you are still responsible!" "Everyone's opinion is still to let Zhao Jinju be responsible.

Now that the location has been chosen, the time is simple. Agree with the May 1 more. There are also talks about the National Day in the second half of the year. Lin Jie was worried that her daughter was pregnant with Maomao, and Cai was afraid that her son would not be able to survive when he was older, so he was vetoed. The deadline was set for 1 May 1997.

The last question is the question of whereabouts, which is a simple question and the most troublesome question, the so-called question of whereabouts is what to do after the wedding? The first layer is what to do about the wedding banquet; The second layer is whether the husband and wife go to the woman's house or the woman goes to the man's house.

Lin Jie spoke first: "I see that all the wedding banquets are held in Shanghai. The guests from Brother Cai's house in Beijing are received and managed by Brother Cai; The guests from Sister Fengjiao's house in Huai'an are jointly responsible for Sister Fengjiao and Sister Jin Ju's family. I'm not burdened, so I'll have to be busy providing accommodation for both of you, free of charge! ”

Lin Jie's words touched some people, but there were many people, relatives and friends, there were no dozens of people in that family, it was too troublesome. Therefore, Cai Shi said: "Lin Jie's words are very generous. I'm afraid it's too troublesome, my relatives and friends and other no less than 100 people, all come to Shanghai, and the travel expenses will cost a lot of money. It's not that I can't afford to spend this money, I think it's too troublesome, it's hard to manage the crowd, and if something goes wrong, then a good thing will turn into a bad thing. So I think it's better to go back to the wedding banquet after the wedding. Of course, after the wedding, there will be a banquet in Shanghai, but it is limited to parents and will not be expanded. For example, it is very convenient for us to hold a wedding in Beijing or Shijiazhuang, and only my wife and I can attend a wedding in Shanghai. ”

Cheng Fengjiao said: "The old classmate is reasonable. For the wedding in Shanghai, my family can represent me and Liu Jidong. However, I still have to do wine when I go back to Huai'an, do you do it first, or do I do it first? Cai said: "This is a small problem, it's up to you." ”

Since both parties agreed to split the business, Zhao Jinju said: "Both of you agree to split the business, then it would be the best." Lin Jiemei's house and I will do it better. It's just that I'm the east, and the Xiang family is going to expand in. Lao Hu's family and so on, I also have to invite. Fill two tables! As he spoke, he nodded to Lin Jie: "Sister Lin, what do you say?" ”

"That's it." That's the conclusion.

Regarding the second layer, there was no way to discuss it at the meeting, Zhao Jinju said: "Regarding the question of whether the man goes to the woman's house or the woman goes to the man's house, this matter cannot be unified, and the parents and children of your children should discuss it together!" ”

This concludes the five-party consultation.
