Chapter 226: The Engagement Banquet
The twentieth day of the first month.
The crew of "Journey to the West" has not yet returned from Yunnan, and I heard Deputy Director Hong Minsheng mention that there was a little situation over there, and the filming plan could not be completed according to the scheduled time, and it may be back a few days later.
When Gu Bei returned home, he also called the guest house, and learned that the equipment was faulty, and he worked hard to shoot the material for several days, but he didn't save it.
Really......
Ill-fated.
The program planning of "The World is Wonderful" has been discussed in several meetings in a row, and now there are still big differences, mainly focusing on the production cost.
Hong Minsheng proposed at the meeting that it could be solved by soliciting sponsorship, but most leaders did not agree.
These people are still insisting, they can't explain the style clearly, and they think that CCTV, as the largest media platform in China, should shoulder the heavy responsibility of propaganda and education, and can't make it smell of copper for money.
Others are turning over old accounts, bringing out the advertising of the "Arctic Ocean" at the Spring Festival Gala and criticizing it.
Hong Minsheng privately told Gu Bei that he wanted to lift the table several times during meetings.
In this regard, Gu Bei was also helpless.
Talent and ability are not enough for him to have the right to speak in front of those leaders, in this case, simply don't say anything.
Hong Minsheng probably also understood the reason why Gu Bei was not in a hurry to come out.
Without the corresponding qualifications, it is useless to be happy.
It's better to follow the crew of "Journey to the West" honestly, stay up for a few years, and mix up the qualifications first.
During this time, Gu Bei was rare and relaxed, going to work every day, getting off work, and taking Chen Xiaoxu's family to play everywhere on weekends.
Before I knew it, it was an important day.
At this moment, Gu Bei was wearing a slightly wide costume and a red tie, looking particularly coquettish.
Don't people in these years know what tailor-made means?
Look at Chen Xiaoxu again.
All right!
Her clothes were similarly bloated.
The little couple glanced at each other, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
The people around were beaming, and kept praising the two of them for their talented and beautiful appearance, and they were born a pair.
It doesn't matter if it's engaged or married, it's almost a routine.
When the person concerned suffered, he could only hide aside and tremble, with a smirk on his face, occasionally say a few words against his will, and then light cigarettes and pour wine for relatives and friends who were not too familiar.
The people who came to congratulate were a collective carnival, giving money, saying a few auspicious words, and then bringing the whole family's old snacks to a mouth full of oil.
"How long will it take?"
Chen Xiaoxu lowered his voice as much as possible and asked.
There was impatience in his tone.
She was originally a person who didn't like trouble, and she was still looking forward to getting engaged, but after staying for a while, she found that she was such a bird, and she couldn't leave immediately.
Gu Bei didn't speak, grabbed Chen Xiaoxu's hand, and gave her a relieved smile, and the feedback she got was a big roll of the eyes.
Well, that's her only consolation in this engagement banquet that she doesn't fit in at all.
At the main table, Gu Xiaowu was still drinking with Chen Qiang.
The Gu family has no relatives, and Gu Xiaowu has two uncles and brothers who are not close, but they are both in other places, and basically have no contacts.
Li Sufen is the same, the closest is the aunt who married in Guangzhou, the road is far away, naturally there is no way to rush back, yesterday I made a phone call and sent my blessings.
Today's people are basically the neighbors of the compound, as well as Gu Bei's colleagues in CCTV, classmates in Beijing, and people from the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions".
Director Wang Fulin didn't come over, and Tuo Zhouling gave the two of them an engagement gift, with four words on the red paper - a match made in heaven.
When he was toasting just now, Zhou Ling seemed to unintentionally mention Wang Fulin's reaction when he first knew that Chen Xiaoxu was going to get engaged to Gu Bei.
The old man should have recognized it by now.
If you really want him to find a suitable Lin Daiyu again, I am afraid that he will not have that energy.
"Xiaobei, Xiaoxu, come here, come here."
Li Sufen greeted loudly, next to Wang Yuanxi, who was also smiling.
Let's go!
The two of them pulled themselves together and tried to squeeze a proper smile on their faces.
Or a toast.
The two poured wine and lit cigarettes, and with tacit understanding, Shunbei received a lot of praise and blessings.
After this round, the two honestly stood aside again as mascots.
"You say, if Yang Dao and they come back, wouldn't it be interesting to fight with you?"
Chen Xiaoxu couldn't understand Gu Bei's bad taste, and snapped his fingers in boredom.
Grunt~~~
Belch?
Sensing Gu Bei's gaze, Chen Xiaoxu's expression was a little unnatural.
"Hungry, can't you?"
Gu Bei smiled, looked around, and saw that everyone was busy dealing with the banquet, so he took Chen Xiaoxu's hand.
"Let's go!"
Walk?
Chen Xiaoxu was stunned for a moment, not understanding what it meant.
"You're not hungry?"
"Hungry!"
I ate a tea egg in the morning, and after putting on makeup, I have been sitting in the house, and I was teased by the friends of the Red Mansion crew.
I thought that after the engagement ceremony was over, I would be able to sit at the table, but who knows, it is obviously the party, and there is not even a place.
People eat hyce, but she can only watch dryly.
"That's not going to go."
Chen Xiaoxu probably knew what Gu Bei was going to do, and he was a little hesitant.
"Relatives and friends are here, let's go...... Is it appropriate? ”
Chen Xiaoxu is indeed a little rebellious, but in most cases, he is still very knowledgeable.
The engagement banquet is the face of the two families, and they are running away as the main thing, and when the time comes......
"Don't go far, if you're not hungry, forget it."
"Let's go!"
Chen Xiaoxu is the most unprovoked, Gu Bei is not afraid, what is she afraid of.
At most, he was scolded by his parents.
The two of them really didn't go far, they went down to the first floor, which was open for business, and picked a corner location.
Gu Bei took the menu and skillfully ordered all the signature dishes on it.
At the beginning, Chen Xiaoxu was still a little excited about doing something bad, but she was a little panicked within five minutes.
"Gu Bei, if my mother finds out that I'm gone, can she smoke me to death?"
Gu Bei laughed when he heard it, during this time, he knew a lot about Chen Xiaoxu when he was a child from Chen Xiaoxu's self-report and Chen Xiaoyang's revelations.
It turns out that this girl was also very naughty when she was a child, and she caused trouble from time to time, the Chen family is a kind father and strict mother, and half of the things that teach bear children are caused by Chen's mother Wang Yuanxi.
"It's okay, when the time comes, I'll get in front of you."
When Chen Xiaoxu heard this, he was a lot more relieved.
Soon the dishes came up, the fish fillet, the nine-turn large intestine, the scallion roasted sea cucumber, the three high-quality dishes in Lu cuisine are naturally indispensable.
The food was in front, Chen Xiaoxu didn't care about worrying, picked up the chopsticks and began to spin.
Seeing that she ate so deliciously, Gu Beidu felt hungry, but he still couldn't help but owe.
"If Director Wang saw you eating, he would probably collapse."
"Why?"
Chen Xiaoxu was chewing on the bad fish fillet in his mouth, and when he spoke, his voice was a little slurred.
"If Lin Daiyu can eat like you, she can still be sick all the time."
Chen Xiaoxu was stunned for a moment, but finally reacted, and understood that Gu Bei was saying that she was not like Lin Daiyu.
"I'm playing Lin Daiyu, and I'm not really Lin Daiyu, I'm reluctant to treat myself badly."
Hearing Chen Xiaoxu say this, he felt a lot more relieved.
During this time, he has been subtly giving Chen Xiaoxu psychological counseling, he doesn't want Chen Xiaoxu in this life to live as Lin Daiyu.
Compared with a delicate and weak girl with a cold temperament, Gu Bei still prefers that his girl can be like when the two of them first met.
True temperament.
The two of them ate and drank loudly below, but the Gu Chen family above was dumbfounded.
was about to carry the two of them over, and then show off in front of relatives and friends, but the result was ......
"What about people?"
The four old men looked at each other, and Chen Qiang, who was slightly drunk, woke up.
had a good engagement banquet, and the two main lords were gone.
Runaway?
If that's the case, it won't make people laugh out of their big teeth when it gets out!
But......
I haven't heard of it, and the two of them ran away together.
"You and your in-laws are accompanying the guests, I'll go look for it, Nannan, come here!"
Li Sufen said, and hurriedly took Gu Nan downstairs, and as soon as she arrived at the hall on the first floor, the sharp-eyed Gu Nan saw two people sitting in the corner.
Chen Xiaoxu was aiming at the ninth turn of the large intestine and was eating very happily.
I was quite disgusted, but I didn't expect it to be so delicious.
"Mom! There's it! ”
Li Sufen was stunned and looked in the direction of Gu Nan's finger.
It was just the point of eating, and there were many guests in the hall, but Gu Bei and Chen Xiaoxu's outfits were still particularly conspicuous.
Seeing that the two of them were eating so happily, Li Sufen's eyelids jumped, and she couldn't wait to go down and tie up the two of them and beat them up.
The guests are all upstairs, and the two of them are the main owners who actually hide downstairs to eat and drink, what kind of system.
"Nannan, you go back first."
When Gu Nan heard this, he seemed to feel the aura around Li Sufen, and quickly slipped away.
The two people downstairs didn't notice it at all, Li Sufen had already arrived, and when Gu Bei looked up, he was almost choked to death by the nine-turn large intestine that was about to be swallowed.
"Mom...... Mother? ”
When Chen Xiaoxu heard this, he turned his head sharply and saw Li Sufen with a cold face, but before he could react, his eyes blinked twice, and he picked up the last piece of the nine-turn large intestine on the plate with chopsticks.
"Mom, you can taste it too, it's delicious!"
After shouting "Mom", Gu Bei felt that Li Sufen's high-pressure aura immediately dissipated into invisibility, and the face that was stunned just now thawed instantly.
He was still thinking about how to explain it.
It was still a cold wind just now, but now it is already bathed in the sun.
This girl is clever enough!
Li Sufen also smiled, and leaned over to bite the nine-turn large intestine that Chen Xiaoxu was holding high, and chewed it twice.
"It does sound good."
Looking at the two people holding their arms and going upstairs talking and laughing, Gu Bei was in a trance.
Is this still the queen mother he knows?
Some people died, but not completely......
