Provincial Party Committee

Chapter 17

Cao Minghua said: "You're welcome, we're all one family, there's no need to talk about the two families, if there's anything I haven't done, just mention it, Yiming and I are good brothers, so there's no need to say more if you're polite."

In terms of age, Cao Minghua is more than ten years older than Wang Yiming, and judging by his appearance, he is at least in his early 40s.But when they saw Wang Yiming, they all patted their shoulders and yelled like brothers. When there were no outsiders at home, he would call Yu Kaishan instead of the head of the department. They would call him uncle and Cong Xiuying as auntie. humanlike.

Cao Minghua took Wang Yiming's family to the restaurant that had already been prepared, and asked the waiter to serve breakfast quickly.The waiter didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly served a table with food, including bread, milk, steamed buns, steamed buns, fried dough sticks, soy milk, five or six of them, all on one plate, and several new plates were also served. Stir-fried vegetables, and several small steamers, inside are steamed pork ribs, fish nuggets, chicken feet and the like.Wang Chunfu grew up so big, and he had never eaten in a big hotel. Looking at a breakfast now, people in the city eat so much, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. No wonder people in the city are full of big bellies and fat people. There are few thin people. It turns out that they eat too much and don't know how to save money. How can they not gain weight after eating so much.

Cao Minghua accompanied them to have breakfast, and arranged them to rest in a room upstairs. Everyone took the elevator together, and when they arrived at the door of the room, the waiter opened the door. Cao Minghua watched Wang Yiming's family enter, and then said with a smile: " Brother, you can rest with your uncle and aunt first, and I will notify you to come down later when the convoy arrives."

Wang Yiming said, "Okay, thank you, Brother Cao, for worrying you a lot today."

Cao Minghua said: "Your affairs are mine affairs. You are all brothers. You are welcome. I will go down and make arrangements. See you later."

Wang Yiming was in the room, changing into a new set of clothes, which Yu Yanmei and he had chosen in the department store a few days ago, specially for the wedding day.

At eleven o'clock, Cao Minghua came and said that the convoy would arrive soon, and asked Wang Yiming and his family to go down to meet them.

Wang Yiming took his father, mother and younger brother, and waited for a few minutes at the entrance of the lobby of the hotel, and saw a dozen cars rushing in and stopped at the entrance of the lobby. Yu Yanmei, accompanied by her sister Yu Yanli and one of her classmates, He got off and got out of the car, wearing a snow-white wedding dress and a pair of red high-heeled shoes, making him look taller, with powder on his face, eyebrows drawn, dressed like a princess, looking at both Wang Chunfu and his wife I was stunned, and could hardly recognize that this was my daughter-in-law.

The dozen or so cars behind were filled with relatives and friends, and they were all the people closest to Yu Yanmei's natal family.Yu Kaishan and his wife, also smiling, got out of the second car and greeted Wang Yiming's parents enthusiastically.

Yu Kaishan held Wang Chunfu's hand, shook it vigorously and said, "Hello, old brother, you are in good health. From today on, we are a family. I will leave the child to you. I hope you will criticize me more." She, tell her to respect the old man more, don't be polite if you have anything!"

Wang Chunfu saw that such a big cadre had no airs at all. He talked to himself in the usual way, and kept making friends. He was so moved that he really didn't know what to say. He just kept saying, "Okay, okay, okay."

According to the usual practice, after a short rest, Yu Yanmei and Wang Yiming would stand at the entrance of the hall to welcome the guests.At twelve o'clock, the guests came one after another. Wang Yiming took a look and found that the entire parking lot was full of cars of all kinds. The chiefs and division chiefs of the provincial agencies came the most.After getting out of the car, everyone took out a red packet from their bag and put it in a tray that had been prepared.The one carrying the tray was Yu Yanmei's cousin, Qiu Ling, who was in charge of sorting today's packages.

Not many people came from the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee, just a dozen or so.Because Wang Yiming didn't send a few invitations to everyone.He has only been on the job for more than two years, and he doesn't know many people, even if he knows them generally, he hasn't had any contact with others.Other colleagues got married and invited him, that is, five or six people in the past two years.This time I got married myself, and I also sent invitations to them, which is called reciprocity.For the rest, he just sent formal invitations to a few good colleagues in the secretariat, the director and deputy director.A few people also came from the Personnel Office. Although Wang Yiming didn't send them an invitation, Yu Yanli must have told them that they all came to Wang Yiming's wedding for Yu Yanli's sake.

At twelve o'clock, the wedding officially began. There was a special officiant in the hotel. After various ceremonies were performed, the banquet began.Yu Yanmei took off her wedding dress in the room, changed into a different set of clothes, and toasted with Wang Yiming respectively.The hall was full of guests, Wang Yiming didn't know most of them, they were probably the leaders of the Department of Finance and its subordinate units, but all the guests came, so Wang Yiming and Yu Yanmei had to toast to everyone one by one.Next to the hall, there are more than a dozen boxes, all of which are prepared for various leaders. Some of these people are colleagues of Yu Kaishan for many years, some are friends for many years, and some were once his subordinates. Now they have been promoted to be the heads of various units. He is a person of great fame in the provincial capital. With the presence of these people, one can imagine how influential Yu Kaishan is in Qingjiang Province.

The wedding and the banquet lasted for more than two hours before the guests gradually dispersed.Cao Minghua arranged for a car again, took Wang Yiming's family and Yu Yanmei's sisters to the car, and then came back to deal with the aftermath.

When they arrived at their own home, Yu Yanmei and Wang Yiming closed the door without taking a break, and started sorting today's envelopes one by one from the purse Qiu Ling handed over.The couple counted and found that today's package income turned out to be a huge sum of money.The total income is 14650 yuan, which is definitely a large amount in the mid-80s.

Wang Yiming calculated in his mind, there were 40 tables in the hall, plus 12 boxes, a total of 52 tables of guests, counting as ten people per table, there were about 520 people attending his wedding.The cost of drinks and meals for each table is at most 180 yuan.Excluding the expenses of 9360 yuan, this wedding made a net profit of 5290 yuan.That's a lot of money indeed.

The two of them couldn't believe their eyes, so they counted a lot of banknotes in their hands and counted them again.Wang Yiming saw that some packets had their names and amounts written on them.Some people just gave 100 yuan, each with a face value of 100 yuan. At that time, 30 yuan was already a lot of money.In the general office of the provincial party committee, if you add a member, it is 50 yuan for a general relationship, and 50 yuan for a very good relationship. [-] yuan is almost a month's wages for a person.

For those who sent 100 yuan and 50 yuan, Wang Yiming looked at them, and he didn't know him, and he didn't have any contact with him at all.But Yu Yanmei is basically familiar with them, saying that this one is her relative and that one is her father's old subordinate, and they are all very close.Wang Yiming discussed with Yu Yanmei and said: "The reason why these people come to our wedding is because of father's face. They come here. We can't take the money, we have to return it all to father and mother. We Copy down the name of the family and give it to their elders. When they have children and get married, they need to return the gift. At that time, the father will pay for it. Although the parents did not say anything, it is cheap and we cannot make money. What needs to be said must be explained.”

Yu Yanmei heard what Wang Yiming said made sense, and agreed with him.The next day, I went to the hotel to find the manager and settled all the expenses of the wedding. The manager gave me a discount, saying that Director Cao had arranged everything and everything was at the cost price, and only charged 9000 yuan.

Wang Yiming and Yu Yanmei took the remaining 5000 yuan, went home, and handed it to Cong's mother.Cong's mother saw that her son-in-law and daughter were so sensible, and she had already done it before she mentioned it, so she took the money and said: "These favors will be returned at that time. Our money is not all for our children. Did you save it! Your father and I have worked all our lives and raised a few children, but we haven’t saved any savings. For the money, you should take 2000 and save it, and use it when the child is born. Add a child and spend it There will be more money in the future! The remaining 3000 will be placed with us first. After the Spring Festival, the leaders of the business bureau and department store will visit your father at home. During the New Year, I will propose it to them. Buy an imported TV set. They have a certain internal target every year, and if I buy one for you, it will save hundreds of dollars compared to the outside world.”

Wang Yiming saw that this arrangement was very reasonable, so he expressed his thanks to his mother-in-law again and again, saying: "Thank you, mom, thank you, mom."

Cong's mother said: "As long as you have a good life, we are happier than anything."

On the second day of the wedding, Wang Yiming and Yu Yanmei accompanied their parents and younger brother around the provincial capital, visiting department stores and parks in the provincial capital.Parents are in the city, thinking that only Sanni, a daughter, is guarding the door at home, so they are worried and have no intention of playing.At any rate, I stayed at home for another night. Early the next morning, I went to the train station, bought a ticket, accompanied by Er Hu, boarded the train, and returned to my hometown.
