Chapter 351: Wedding Preparations

iao Zheng. 。Of course, none of this could be told to Zhang Yimou. He could only bury it in his heart and say, “I don’t have the ability…” 。"A soldier who doesn't want to be a general isn't a good so...Chen Hong had a work dinner with her superiors that evening and didn't come back. 。The next morning, Chen Hong arrived at the community at 8:00 am. She and Xiao Zheng then got into a car to head to Store 4. 。Chen Guangming and Sun Wenmin obviously attached great importance to their daughter's car purchase, and they were already waiting in the store early. The receptionist had arranged for them to have tea in the rest area. 。When all four people arrived, the receptionist led them to see the car. Xiao Zhong helped check it carefully and found nothing wrong, so he felt relieved to pick up the car. 。After paying the full amount of over 400,000 yuan, Chen Hong drove her new car home. 。The two rearview mirrors outside the car were both covered with big red flowers, looking a bit gaudy. 。If Xiao Zheng bought the car himself, these red ribbons definitely wouldn't be there; it wouldn't be necessary. 。Ke Chen, Guangming Sun, and Chen Hong all felt that it was nice to have some celebratory decorations, and also let the people in the community know they bought a new car. 。Chen's family now lives in a high-end residential complex in An County. It's either officials or businesspeople who live here. 。Many people also bought cars, but there aren't many who bought their first car as an Audi. 。This is a very face-saving matter, and the Chen family will not easily give up this opportunity. 。Xiao Zheng didn't mind and went back in Chen Hong's car with Chen Guangming and Sun Wenmin. 。Chen Guangming even arranged his own driver and set off fireworks under his own building, which was deafeningly loud and drew many neighbors to watch the spectacle. 。Many people showed envious expressions. 。

Some who knew Chen Guangming well came over to congratulate him: "Director Chen, your family bought an Audi! This car is really good!" What they meant by "good" was actually a compliment. 。While smiling and dividing the cigarettes, Chen Guangming said: "Bought for my daughter. My daughter is getting married soon, so it's for her dowry." 。"What You're giving a car as dowry" A neighbor who was smoking Chen Guangming’s cigarette exclaimed, without hiding his envy. "Such high-end dowry, we've never had anything like this in our community! Your son-in-law is really lucky!" “You don’t know anything!” Someone else chimed in from beside him, “Do you know who Chen Bureau Chief's son-in-law is He's the deputy county magistrate of An County! He has a dedicated car, he doesn't even need a private car! Chen Bureau Chief just wants to spoil his daughter, so he gave her a sedan." 。"Oh, I see!" The previous person suddenly realized, "People always say that two civil servants are equal to a State Councilor, but look at Chen Bureau's family, three leaders came out! What should we say then!" "Hahaha, alright, alright, don't make fun of me!" Chen Guangming modestly said, "I also spent all my savings to buy this car for my daughter." 。"The person beside him laughed, "Director Chen is being humble, isn't he Everyone knows Director Chen's family is wealthy!" Both Chen Guangming and Sun Wenmin laughed, "Oh no, no." 。Although they said so, their smug expressions and hazy smiles betrayed the fact that they secretly agreed with it!

Xiao Zheng also felt that Chen Guangming's family definitely had more than that amount of money. 。But showing off wealth or exposing how much money your family has is really not a smart move. 。Especially for leading cadres!

The firecrackers have been set off, and after the ceremony of bringing the new car home, Xiao Zheng urged Chen Hong: "Let's go take wedding photos." 。He wants to end this show early. 。Chen Hong has always been thinking about her wedding photos, and she also said, "Okay, then let's go. " 。Sun Wemin said: "It's almost dinner time. Let's have a meal before we leave." 。"Chen Hong said, "Mom, we're short on time." 。The bridal shop has fast food, we can just grab something to eat there later. Anyway, Xiao Zheng is still going to treat us to dinner tonight. 。Let's have a good meal later. 。"Oh, that's good too." 。But you and Xiao Zheng both need to eat lunch, don't starve yourselves, it's bad for your stomach. 。"Your work is very important now, make sure to take good care of your health!"

"Understood." 。Chen Hong said a word, then sat back into the new car. 。Chen Hong said that she needed to get used to this new car a bit more. On Monday, she would drive to Jingzhou. 。Xiao Zheng was sitting in the passenger seat. Although there were charcoal bags in the car, the new car's leather smell was still too strong, so they had to keep the windows open and endure it until they reached the bridal shop. 。Had some fast food and started filming right away. 。The wedding photography studios in Anxian County have only recently emerged, and while their business is thriving, the level of photography skill remains limited. 。Chen Hong also particularly likes to strike various poses, Xiao Zheng can't keep up at all, so he had to be made up by the makeup artist and photographer all afternoon, posing for all sorts of looks. 。Xiao Zheng doubts these photos will look good. 。Of course, Xiao Zheng knew that he was here to complete the task, so he adjusted his mindset. When he felt down, he would smoke a cigarette and persevere through it. Finally, he finished around six o'clock in the evening. Any later, the light wouldn't be good enough for the shoot, or Chen Hong might have wanted to keep going. 。By the time I arrived at the hotel, it was around seven o'clock. 。This time, instead of going to a five-star restaurant, Xiao Zheng booked a private room at a home-style Chinese restaurant a few hundred meters from Chen Guangming's house. 。This restaurant is mid-range in terms of class and the taste is also good. 。Four people sat down, drinking and chatting about the wedding photos taken that afternoon. Chen Hong spoke with enthusiasm, while Xiao Zheng found taking pictures to be a torment, unbearable to recall. 。。Ke Guan Wenwei didn't come. Ke Guan Wenwei is now the deputy director of the county people's congress, and he has become more arrogant. 。From Chen Guangming's words, Xiao Zheng could hear a trace of jealousy towards Guan Wenwei. 。But Xiao Zheng ignored this, saying: "Director Guan is now both the deputy director of the county people's congress and the secretary of Tianhuang Town. He is probably very busy these days." 。Next time, I'll have him come to you in person. 。"I wouldn't dare. He's now a big leader in the county people's congress, while I'm just a small director. How could I possibly ask him to come"Xiao Zheng could hear the obvious sourness in Chen Guangming's tone, so he didn't dwell on it. He steered the conversation back on track: "Dad, this old tea planting thing is worth a shot, worth promoting. It would be a trouble to ask you, but please..." 。Large-scale planting may occur in October and November. At that time, we hope the county agricultural technology department can provide more support. 。Chen Guangming said, “Xiao Zheng, since you put it that way, I will definitely focus more on this.” 。"Xiao Zheng raised his glass and said, “Dad, that’ll be hard work for you.” 。"Chen Hong said at this time: "Xiao Zheng, we are about to get married soon, and you have just become the Deputy County Magistrate. You definitely can't be transferred in the near future. That means that next, my father will be transferred out of An County. We should all care about my father's affairs." 。I have already reported to Liu Bu Chang, and Liu Bu Chang said he would consider it. 。Have you told Dad and the county magistrate, Sun Shujì, about this

Xiao Zhēng really hasn't mentioned this to the two main leaders in the county. 。In Xiao Zheng's view, vying for his prospective father-in-law was no different from chasing an official position. So, he might have some aversion to it in his heart, and therefore wasn't as invested in action. 。Now, Chen Hong has said it for the third time. Getting married is indeed just around the corner. If she doesn't put in some effort, I'm afraid things might get out of hand. Xiao Zheng then said: "I'm going to go talk about it..." 。On Monday, I will go to the offices of the two main leaders. 。Chen Hong replied, "Xiao Zheng, I think it's not a good idea to go to the leader's office about this. It's too formal and impersonal." 。What do you think about this You call Sun Shuji and Jin, the county magistrate, today and ask if they are free tomorrow We could have dinner together. Tomorrow is Sunday, so having a drink at noon is fine, and they can still rest in the afternoon. 。I arrived at the municipal Party committee organization department and didn't even invite them to a meal. 。At a private dinner party, many things can be said. 。"

Chen Honggang had just finished speaking when Chen Guangming expressed his agreement: 'I think Chen Hong is right.'" 。You guys should treat them to a meal, preferably with their wives. That would be really thoughtful. 。This meal is also a win-win. On the one hand, I can talk to both leaders about my work, and on the other hand, it can deepen our relationship. In the future, Xiao Zheng's work in the county will be easier. Moreover, who knows, maybe both leaders will be promoted in the future, paving the way for Chen Hong to be promoted to the county or department later on. 。"Sun Wenmin also looked at Xiao Zheng and said, “I also think this idea is good." 。Human emotions rely not only on work cooperation but also on private connections. 。The more you connect privately, the better your relationship will be. 。Everyone was looking at him, hoping he would host this dinner. Xiao Zheng couldn't refuse, so he agreed. 。Chen Hong urged Xiao Zheng to make the call immediately. 。Xiao Zheng had no choice but to take out his phone and make the call. 。Xiao Zheng originally thought that the two main leaders were probably too busy and at least one of them wouldn't be available. 。Unexpectedly, both Sun Yiqi, the secretary, and Jin Jianqiang, the county magistrate, readily agreed. 。Among them, Sun Yiqi, the secretary, also said: "County magistrate Xiao, this bureau group is really... how should I say... it's just in time!" 。My wife is coming to the county to see me tomorrow morning. I was planning on taking her out for a meal there, but now that you called, I don't have to worry about it. 。"Jin Jianqiang also said that he is free tomorrow, and we can get together." 。Xiao Zheng told the Chen family about this situation. Chen Hong happily clenched her fist in the air and excitedly said: "Husband is so amazing, he invited both major leaders of An County at once!"

Chen Guang also said: "This shows that both leaders really value Xiao Zheng! In the future, our Xiao Zheng will have a bright future!"

Did the two main leaders agree to attend the banquet because they happened to be free, or did they truly value themselves This Xiao Zheng couldn't say for sure. 。But no matter what, now the Chen family sees him as a hero of sorts, which gives him a sense of accomplishment. 。However, this sense of achievement also made Xiao Zheng feel a little uneasy. 。That evening, they kept busy with things like making dinner reservations, preparing gifts, and sending text messages to book a private room at the hotel. It wasn't until nine thirty in the evening that Xiao Zheng and Chen Hong finally returned to their new home. 。At the same time, in Hangzhou, Tan Siming, Tan Zhen, Yao Baxian and others were drinking and dining by West Lake. 。Tan Siming's gaze swept out the window, taking in the most beautiful night view of West Lake. 。"Good fortune, Bei Xiang! The time has come to take them down!"d at Chen Qingshan, who smiled and didn't dare to stop him any longer. Xiao Zheng then looked at Xiao Jingyu, who nodded encouragingly at him." 。Xiao Zheng gathered his courage and said: "I think, as...
