Official Road Hongyan

On the 14th, Ye Ming and Xia Chuchu didn't go out for shopping, but stayed at home busy doing various preparations.

Since the afternoon, Ye Ming's phone has been busy.First, Xu Fei, the 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 they would come to have a wedding banquet 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 Supervision Office of the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission, Chen Guitian, Chief Criminal Investigation Chief of the Provincial Public Security Department, and Liang Tanghua, Director of the Public Security Bureau of K City, all called to congratulate Ye Ming and said that they had already I received a phone invitation from Director Xia, and I will definitely come over to have a few glasses of wedding wine tomorrow + it turned out that Xia Bicheng couldn't hold back his joy, and yesterday he told these people in Xinleng that Ye Ming and Chuchu were going to be engaged in advance I made a phone call, told them the specific engagement time, and invited them to come for a wedding reception.

Ye Ming originally planned to notify them in person at night, but Xia Bicheng called first, feeling a little embarrassed, so he had to extend a warm welcome to them and thank them a lot.

Around four o'clock, Ye Ming suddenly received another strange call.As soon as the phone was connected, a very thick and friendly baritone voice came from inside: "Hello, are you Director Ye Ming Ye?"

Ye Ming heard him call his name directly, but he couldn't recognize who it was at all, so he was puzzled, so he replied politely: "Hello, I'm Ye Ming. May I ask if you are—"

The person on the phone smiled heartily and said, "I'm Guo Guangwei from the Provincial Public Security Bureau. Just now I heard from Captain Chen Guitian in our department that Mr. Ye and Ms. Xia Chuchu will have a happy marriage tomorrow. Mr. Chen said: Mr. Ye and his And Director Liang of the K City Public Security Bureau are very good friends. Both of them will come to have a wedding banquet tomorrow, and asked me if I want to come with them to have fun and see the demeanor of Director Ye, a young talent? I said : Although Director Ye and I have never met each other, I have heard of Director Ye’s name for a long time, and I also know the heroic deeds of Director Ye who saved Secretary Li of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. , Director Liang and the others came together to ask for a cup of wedding wine and express our heartfelt congratulations to you and Ms. Xia Chuchu. However, I wonder if Director Ye will think that I am 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 that Ye Ming would soon be engaged to the celebrity daughter of Xia Bicheng, Director of the Provincial Local Taxation Bureau. At that time, Secretary Lu and Secretary Li of the Provincial Party Committee would attend their engagement. ceremony.Moreover, it is said that Secretary Lu is also Ye Ming and Xia Chuchu's big matchmaker.

As soon as Guo Guangwei heard Chen Guitian's report, he immediately realized sensitively: This is another best opportunity for him to get closer to Secretary Lu and Secretary Li.Therefore, he told Chen Guitian at that time: Once you know the specific time of Ye Ming and Xia Chuchu's engagement, you must tell him in time.When the time comes, he will call Ye Ming himself and ask him to invite him to his engagement ceremony in the name of congratulations...

Ye Ming heard that the person who called him turned out to be Guo Guangwei, the director of the Provincial Public Security Bureau, and he couldn't help being shocked. He also heard that he was very humble and kind on the phone, and remembered that he had spared no effort to help himself and Gong Zhichao. I was very touched and quickly said: "Director Guo, thank you for your concern and blessing! If you are free tomorrow to have a drink, Chuchu and I will feel very honored. Our engagement ceremony is scheduled for tomorrow at [-]:[-] noon , please be sure to come by then!"

Guo Guangwei replied happily: "Yes, yes! I will be there on time!"

After hanging up Guo Guangwei's phone call, Ye Ming suddenly thought of some old friends: one is Qing Tao, the former secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of City K and the current mayor of the provincial capital; Wang Xiuguang, the director of the Department of 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 once said that if he had any happy event, he must call them.

So, he called them one by one and invited them to come and have a wedding drink.Both Qing Tao and Shen Youbin accepted his invitation very happily.And Wang Xiuguang, at this time, is doing research at the prefecture, city, prefecture, and land bureau below. He just went down for a day. I stopped doing it, and immediately agreed to Ye Ming's invitation happily, and then rushed back to the provincial capital overnight...

In the evening, Lu Nianzi and Zhang Linjiang also rushed to the provincial capital of Tianjiang by plane, met with Ye Ming and Xia Chuchu, and gave Xia Chuchu a pair of jade bracelets, and then went to the provincial party committee guest house.

In order to ensure that the engagement ceremony is kept secret and free from outside interference, and for the safety of Secretary Lu and Secretary Li, Xia Bicheng secretly ordered the director of the Provincial Bureau Office to arrange a banquet hall of the "Fumanlou" restaurant where the engagement ceremony will be held and all the staff in it. All the boxes were booked, and the restaurant was asked to change the main entrance and exit to the back door—because the back door just faces the parking lot, and there are very few people coming and going.It is not appropriate for Secretary Lu and Secretary Li to enter and exit through the front door. They can only get off the car here and directly enter the banquet hall inside.

And Xu Lizhong, who was in charge of Secretary Lu's security work, went to the hotel the first day to survey the surrounding environment and the route of Secretary Lu's entry and exit from the hotel, and at ten o'clock the next morning, he dispatched a dozen guards from the Security Bureau to guard the banquet. All the gates of the hall were closed, and a few guard posts were arranged near the parking lot, just in case.All guests entering and leaving the banquet hall must be greeted by Ye Ming at the back door before being brought into the banquet hall by him.

Before eleven o'clock in the morning on the [-]th, 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. After shaking hands with Xia Bicheng and saying hello one by one, he congratulated Ye Ming and Xia Chuchu who were standing hand in hand at the door to welcome the distinguished guests, and handed them red envelopes.

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

It wasn't until twelve o'clock sharp that Secretary Lu and Secretary Li arrived hand in hand. At the door, they first said some congratulatory words to Ye Ming and Xia Chuchu with a smile on their faces, and then walked into the banquet hall surrounded by a couple of newcomers. Warmly and kindly shake hands with the guests one by one.

According to Secretary Lu's order, the engagement ceremony was held briefly, but the atmosphere was very warm.During the meal, only two tables were opened, and Secretary Lu sat at one table, and Secretary Li also sat at the other 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, who had higher positions.In addition, because Xu Fei, Zou Wenming, and Zhang Yingzhi, director of the provincial TV station, are all directly under the leadership of Ye Ming or Xia Chuchu, they are also fortunate to have a table with Secretary Lu.The rest, including Xia Chuchu's mother Zeng Yanhua, sat at another table with Secretary Li.

Since today is his son's big day, Secretary Lu was in a particularly good mood. He made an exception and toasted everyone a few glasses of wine, and he didn't refuse the people who came to toast. Everyone drank the toast, which made everyone Everyone feels very honored and happy.
