Chapter 27 Engagement
Wu Kai arranged the chairman and the others and went home to pick up Jiajia and her parents to the hotel, preparing to welcome guests. Her parents' relatives, friends, and colleagues. Jiajia's parents are usually good at being a human being at work, so the guests who came not only thought that something happened to her family, but also some leaders who wanted to separate themselves from his family did not come, but others came. Jiajia's father ranked third in the family, with an older brother and sister above and a younger sister below. This time, when something happened to Jiajia's family, his father's brother and sister tried many ways. Only his snobbish sister-in-law believed that his family was a cadre family. Sometimes he would sneer at Jiajia's uncle, and he did not do anything else.
At this time, the hall was full of guests. Commander Guo and Director Xu had also arrived. When they entered the hall, they immediately greeted Wu Kai and asked if they needed help. When Wu Kai heard them, he smiled and said, "It's nothing, you can wait in the private room first! There will be unexpected guests that you will come later!" As he said that, Wu Kai took them into the private room "Rose Hall", with a table that could sit down 26 people. After Wu Kai arranged them, he walked out of the private room with doubtful eyes.
On the table on the left side of the hall, Jia Jia's aunt saw Commander Guo and Director Xu, two more famous figures in the Fujian officialdom, and asked Lin's mother curiously; "Brother and sister-in-law! The ones who just entered were Commander Guo of Nanjing Military Region and Director Xu of Public Security Department, right?"
When Mother Lin heard her sister-in-law’s question, she replied without thinking: “Sister-in-law, you should say it’s Lao Guo and Lao Xu! They are my son-in-law’s friends.”
This answer from Lin's mother completely made Jia Jia's aunt bored. She thought to herself that when Dad Lin was arrested by someone some time ago, their family had this relationship, so why did they come to find a solution?
In fact, it was not the only one present at Aunt Lin. Many guests also saw it, but they didn't have the chance to ask.
The banquet was about to begin. Wu Kai went upstairs to invite the Chairman and the Prime Minister and the others, and took them to a unmanned passage that Long Weiqing had in advance and directly entered the private room. Commander Guo and Director Xu were sitting there chatting. Seeing the Chairman, Prime Minister and Minister Cao and others, he stood up from his seat in surprise. Director Xu rubbed his eyes in disbelief and looked at the Chairman and the Prime Minister and the others. Now he was completely convinced by Commander Guo's words.
The chairman walked into the box and saw the two surprised and said, "Please sit down. Today, my Lao He represents the male parents. You are the guests. Please sit down. Lao Guo! Will you introduce the person next to you?"
"Chairman, Prime Minister, Minister Cao, this is the Fujian Provincial Public Security Department, and Director Xu is our Xiao Wu's friend."
Hearing Lao Guo introduce him, Director Xu excitedly said to the Chairman and the others: "Chairman, Prime Minister, Minister Cao, hello!"
"Come on, come on, everyone sit down. Today I am a parent and you are a guest. Don't be polite?" said the chairman.
Seeing everyone sitting down, the chairman said, "Xiao Kai! Why haven't you called your in-laws and your wife in yet!"
"When Wu Kai heard the Chairman's words, he immediately replied: "Okay! I'll go now!"
After Wu Kai walked to the hall, he saw Jia Jia greeting guests with his parents, so he walked up and was about to ask Jia Jia to go to the private room with him to meet the chairman, Jia Jia asked first: "Husband! Are you going there? Why don't you know how to help me entertain guests!"
After hearing Jia Jia's words, Wu Kai replied: "I was in the private room just now. Because there were important guests inside, I was there. Where is your parents? Let them go in and sit together and wait and come out to accompany the guests later."
"What guest is so important? Do you have to go now?" Jia Jia asked after hearing Wu Kai's words.
"Okay, don't ask, go find your parents, and call your uncle, your two uncles and your uncle. Let's go in and sit down and come out." Wu Kai said.
When Jia Jia heard Wu Kai's words, she looked at Wu Kai in confusion, and then followed him to find her parents. The two walked to Jia Jia's relatives' table. Jia Jia's mother pulled Wu Kai to introduce Wu Kai to the relatives present. After Wu Kai politely shook hands with these relatives, she immediately ordered the food to be served, and then said to Jia Jia's father: "Dad, there are several guests inside, representing my relatives to attend the engagement ceremony. You call mom, uncle, two uncles and uncles, let's go inside and sit together!"
After hearing Wu Kai's words, Jia Jia's father called Jia Jia's uncle and the others to follow Wu Kai and walked towards the private room. When Jia Jia's relatives saw the people sitting inside, they all showed shocked expressions. They did not expect that the so-called male representative was actually several leaders of the central government.
Looking at the people standing at the door, the chairman smiled and said, "Come! Come! In-laws! Don't stand there, come in and sit in! Today is a private occasion, we are just Xiaokai's family, so don't be polite, sit in quickly."
When everyone heard the Chairman's words, they looked at the people present. They would never think that Jia Jia's husband's representative was several leaders of the Central Committee. This was simply a standing committee. He was surprised on his face and felt that his legs were not in charge! He just stood there like that, and he didn't know what to do!
At this time, Director Xu stood up, smiled and grabbed Jia Jia's father and said, "Brother, just sit down! Today is a good day for Wu Kai and Jia Jia. Everyone is more relaxed. Finally, after Director Xu's persuasion, Jia Jia's parents sat down, but Jia Jia's uncle and others said they would not sit down. Under their insistence, Wu Kai had to let them sit back to the hall.
Jia Jia's uncle and the others returned to the hall to sit at the table before. After several people sat down, they didn't say a word. Jia Jia's aunt saw them coming in and came out, so she asked, "Why did you come out after you go in? That Jia Jia's husband is too big! Why are you so rich and know a few officials? Isn't you so amazing? I don't look at anyone. My dad is also a director, so why don't you give me any face?"
When she heard her wife showing off her tricks, Uncle Jia Jia said angrily: "Shut up, what do you know? Only your father, the director, even the governor, dare not fart in it."
This is Jia Jia's uncle-in-law and asked: "Brother, who is Jia Jia's husband? Have you heard from the second brother? Look at the box, it's simply... Alas! Why did I come out just now? Some people never dare to think about it in their entire lives!"
The girls were curious when they heard them say this, but they just didn't say it, just explaining it, don't ask too much, and the uncle also told my sister-in-law not to be mean to Jia Jia's parents in the future.
While they were talking, Long Wei sent the dishes into the private room. Everyone raised their glasses under the leadership of the chairman and expressed their blessings to the newlyweds Wu Kai and Jia Jia. Gradually, the atmosphere at the table was brought up, and everyone was not so polite. Director Xu's phone rang, and Director Xu called me sorry! Then he went outside the door of the private room to answer the phone.
Because the hall was too noisy, Director Xu had to go outside the door of the wine site to answer the phone. At this time, when Director Xu was answering the phone and preparing to go back to the private room, he remembered that the chairman was inside, afraid of an accident, so he immediately called to arrange the police force to protect the surroundings of the West Lake Hotel. He didn't want something to happen today at such a time. After calling, Director Xu stood at the door and recalled what had happened in the past two days. Now he is sincere in his heart.
Thank you Lao Guo, he didn't expect Wu Kai to have such great energy. If it weren't for Lao Guo, he might not be the director now. He was very excited to think that the chairman and the prime minister would sit together today. You must know that today he met three of the nine members of the Central Committee, and the largest three. Now he was thinking about how to get along with Wu Kai in the future. Just as he was concentrating on thinking about things there, Director Xu heard someone call him, and he looked up and saw that he was Secretary General Chen of the Provincial Party Committee.
"Hello, Secretary-General Chen! Why are you free to be here tonight?"
"Secretary General Chen! Who will hold a banquet here tonight?"
"Oh! It's a friend of mine. I'm engaged today and treat you here."
"Old Xu! When did you have such a young friend?"
"Oh! We are the turn of thousands of years."
"Old Xu! I have something to do, please help me. Today, Minister Ding of the Ministry of Finance came to our Fujian. Secretary Lu wanted to invite them to dinner at the hotel tonight, but he didn't expect that the Rose Hall asked your friend to give it to him. Look, can you come forward to discuss with your friend and give us the Rose Hall."
Director Xu thought about it and felt it was necessary to reveal the news to Secretary Lu, so that he would owe him personal favors in the future, so he said, "Secretary General Chen! It's not that I won't help you! I think you'd better arrange another place!"
"How can that be done? Lao Xu! Secretary Lu is sitting in the car over there waiting now! Why do you tell me to Secretary Lu?"
"Let's do it! I'll tell you for you. I believe Secretary Lu will agree." As he said that, Director Xu walked towards the car over there.
After walking over, Secretary Lu put down the glass of the car and said to Director Xu: "Old Xu! Today is your friend's wedding! Please help me discuss it. Are we having a special situation today? Minister Ding will come later. We can't neglect the guests of the central ministries and commissions!"
"Secretary Lu! It's not that I won't help you! You'd better get out of the car and listen to me!"
When Secretary Lu heard Director Xu say this, he got out of the car and walked to the side with Director Xu.
"It's not that I don't want to go, it's because I don't dare to invite the person inside!"
"Who! Lao Xu, why is it so mysterious?"
"Secretary Lu! One of my children is engaged today. The representative of the man today is our nine members of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee, three of them, Chairman! Prime Minister! Minister Cao! Do you think I can open this mouth?" Director Xu explained
"What! What did you say? Who is inside?" Secretary Lu asked in surprise.
"Secretary Lu! What's inside is Secretary Xi, Premier He, Minister Cao, Secretary Yan of the Central Committee, and... You can't say I said it!" Director Xu explained
"What!, you are saying it again, when did the chief come? Why don't I know any news? Lao Xu! Why don't you tell me! Has the security guard arranged it?" Secretary Lu asked several reasons in a row.
"Secretary Lu! I just found out. Now I have mobilized the special police and the riot brigade to guard the surrounding areas of the wine site. Well, Secretary Lu, I won't say much. Now I'm going in first, you must not say that I told you!" Director Xu said.
Secretary Lu looked at Lao Xu's back as he walked away and fell into deep thought, "Why did the leader not inform me when he came? Did he take his anger on us about Lao Liang's affairs? Also, Lao Xu is also hidden! Who is that friend of Lao Xu? The engagement can allow the Central No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, and the leader to participate. It seems that it is not easy. Maybe Lao Xu is relying on this relationship! It seems that he will ask Lao Xu to introduce it to me in the future. Two leaders of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee have reached the age line. If you seize this opportunity, you may be able to go further, but now you are still not going in?"
Secretary Chen saw that Secretary Lu didn't know what Lao Xu said and stood there alone thinking about things, so he walked over and asked, "Secretary Lu, see how to arrange it now. Why don't I ask the hotel manager to discuss it with that person and see if it's OK?"
"No, just arrange another room." As he said that, he started to daze there.
Seeing the secretary standing there in a daze, Secretary-General Chen became confused, but he still left there and went to arrange supper.
Halfway through the wine, Director Xu came back from outside. After seeing him sitting down, Wu Kai joked, "Old Xu! Why did you go for half an hour! You can see how to punish yourself!"
"Okay, I'll accept the punishment," and said that, Director Xu drank all the wine glasses in front of him.
Half of the wine was drunk, and according to custom, it is time for newcomers and parents to toast, so Wu Kai and Jia Jia were holding their glasses together to prepare to walk out. At this time, the chairman said, "Xiao Kai! Why do you say that we are also the male representatives tonight! You have to go out to toast the wine," and ignored the people present, and took the cups in their hands and pulled Wu Kai out of the private room. The group walked to the hall. At that time, someone said, "The newcomer is here to toast", and then there was no sound. At this time, the originally noisy banquet suddenly became quiet, because now the entire hall, including the waiter, was staring at the group of people walking out of the private room.
The chairman looked at the quiet hall and said, "First of all, I would like to thank everyone for attending the engagement dinner of Lin Jia of Wu Kai. Tonight, Lao He and Lao Cao, I are elders representing Xiao Kai, so don't be polite. Due to time reasons, we have to rush back to Beijing, so now we won't toast one by one. I'm sorry! Come and I'll toast everyone."
Chapter completed!
