Farming and Bend the National Husband

After Zhao Zezhong delivered the car, instead of going to his second uncle's house with Xia Jiusheng, he called a driver temporarily and took him to Bai Qishun's bar.

After all, the relationship between the two has not been made public, and it is inconvenient for him to appear at relatives' homes as Xia Jiusheng's other half.

The fixed box in Bai Qishun's bar was already full of people.

Today is the twelfth day of the first lunar month, and all the friends who work in Yucheng have come back from all over the world, including Su Cheng, who was stuck in a two-person world with Li Qiaowei some time ago and rarely kept in touch with old friends.

A group of people including his girlfriend and fiancée counted to more than ten people, and everyone gathered at Bai Qishun's side, which was the first meeting of the new year.

The last movie I invested in last year was released on time on the [-]th of the year. Because of the plot, the strong star lineup, and the promotion in place, and the overlap between Valentine’s Day and Spring Festival this year, the box office has been rising all the way. It has broken the previous investment records. up.

Those who participate in the shares are naturally happy. Even those who invested the least can get tens of millions. For example, Zhao Zezhong took [-]% of the shares. This movie alone earned more than [-] million.

Everyone clamored for him to treat guests, Zhao Zezhong waved his hand readily, calling for whatever he wanted.

Someone encouraged Zhao Zezhong to invest in another movie, but Zhao Zezhong didn't agree immediately, but calmly said that he would wait for a good script.

It's not that the older Zhao Zezhong is, the less courageous he becomes.If he invests alone, even if he loses hundreds of millions, he doesn't care about it. However, although some of these friends are born well, the money allocated to him by the family is not much. If they all lose Go in and he'll be very guilty.

Li Qiaowei leaned sweetly beside Su Cheng. Although she had known Zhao Zezhong for so many years, it was the first time she joined this circle. The main reason was that when Zhao Zezhong started investing, she happened to go to study in England, so she had no chance to meet these people.

Whether she lives in Beijing or England, she has her own life circle.But after getting in touch with those people a lot, she found it difficult to become close friends with them.

At first, they thought it was normal for them to maintain such a distant and polite relationship with each other in their life, but seeing how Zhao Zezhong and his group of friends got along, they suddenly realized that maybe they were wrong.

How people get along with each other, there is no fixed pattern, it mainly depends on who you make friends with.

Most of the men in front of her were straightforward and sincere to their friends. She enjoyed chatting with them very much.

In the capital, Zhao Zezhong was always said to be capricious, mischievous, and immature, but in her opinion, he was very smart, understood human nature, and had many sincere friends.

Some people say that the world is a mirror, you see what other people are, but you are actually what you are.

Maybe someone scolded Zhao Zezhong for relying on connections and background, but they couldn't see his hard work and seriousness. It was precisely because those who scolded him like this wanted connections and background, and didn't want to work hard.

Carried the bride into the car, took her to the new house in Zhangtang, tidied up a bit, got into the car again, and headed for the International Hotel in Yucheng.

The International Hotel had made preparations early on. The fourth young master personally explained this matter. How dare they neglect it.

Zhu Binyu and Qian Xiaoli changed their clothes and stood at the check-in counter to welcome the guests.

Because there are not many relatives and friends in the two families, only more than 30 tables have been booked, and [-] tables are relatives of the woman.

Qian Xiaoli's cousin was by her side, and among the guests who came in, only her own relatives came by car, and the man's relatives almost all came by taxi, so she couldn't help whispering in her cousin's ear.

In such a high-end place as National University, the people who come to the banquet are all country bumpkins dressed in country clothes. She really looks down on her cousin-in-law's family.

My aunt and cousin are also blind. Although the groom is still pretty handsome, the cousin is not bad either.It's not that you can't find a man to want, why bother to lower your status and marry into that kind of rural place.

Qian Xiaoli smiled helplessly when she heard her cousin nagging in her ear, this cousin is really a bit snobbish.

The time soon reached 10:30, and there was not much time left until the wedding ceremony at [-]:[-], but judging from the sign-in situation, a large number of people still hadn't arrived.

Zhu Honggao was standing in the lounge with a livid face.

For the wedding ceremony this time, he was afraid that he would offend someone if he missed someone when inviting people, so he carefully considered the list.

The town secretary and the mayor must be invited, and the deputy mayors must also be invited, and the main figures in the office must also be invited. As for the heads of various departments, he has not missed it either.

Of course he knows that everyone is invited, not all of them will come, but half of them are sure to come. In the past, other people in the town held weddings at their homes, which was basically the same ratio. Why did he, the deputy mayor, only come to a few of himself? directly under his command.

When the wedding ceremony starts, everyone sees that there are three or four tables empty in the hall, what will they think of him as the host, and most importantly, if no guests are invited to the banquet, will the woman's family think that they have humiliated them?

You must know that there are professional people videotaping the whole process, and the empty table over there can't be covered even if you want to.

Hate to hate, things still have to find a way?My nephew has a good relationship with NUS, let's see if he can contact NUS and ask them to remove the empty tables and chairs?

At that time, put some decorative flowers and other decorations in the empty space, it will look better.

This may be a bit deceiving, but it is better than being laughed at by others.

Xia Jiusheng was taken aback when he received a call from his second uncle.

"Second uncle, how many guests didn't come?" He knew all his relatives, why didn't they come? "Is it because I don't have a car and it's inconvenient to come to Yucheng? I knew I would have asked someone to pick me up—"

"It's not my relatives, but some people in the town didn't come." Although Zhu Honggao felt ashamed of his nephew, he didn't hide it from him.

"No one from the town came?" Xia Jiusheng repeated unconsciously, very annoyed.

What are they doing, bullying the second uncle who has no qualifications and trying to embarrass him?

It's easy to dismantle the table and take things away. Xia Jiusheng himself has worked in a fast food restaurant, so he still has some common sense, but he has to ask Zhao Zezhong for help if he wants to make the scene look nondescript.

※※※

At this time, Zhao Zezhong and the others were ready to have lunch.

The location is of course the International Hotel, and Zhao Zezhong treats guests.He earned so much this time, who would he beat if he didn't beat the local tyrants!We all have cars, so it is convenient to drive together.

"Yangyang, what's the matter?" Zhao Zezhong was a little surprised to receive a call from Xia Jiusheng at this moment.

Xia Jiusheng didn't hide it either, and hurriedly told the story. Time was running out, and he couldn't afford to delay.

"Why do you dismantle it? There are many places. Treat us to a meal. We happen to have a group of people here, so we need to find a place to eat?" Zhao Zezhong smiled nonchalantly when he heard that it was such a trivial matter.

"It's okay to come to eat, and the gift must be small. Each person has to pack six hundred." Xia Jiusheng didn't care whether he was telling the truth or joking, anyway, he just couldn't let the second uncle's family suffer. The relatives here all packed six hundred gifts.

"Okay, each of us prepares a red envelope." Zhao Zezhong turned on the speakerphone, said loudly to Xia Jiusheng, and winked at his friends.

Looking at Zhao Zezhong's dog-legged appearance, even though such people know about his relationship with Xia Jiusheng, they still can't help but roll their eyes at him together.

"But do you have thirty people? Are there too many seats here?" Xia Jiusheng guessed that Zhao Zezhong's side had at most ten people, so he couldn't help asking worriedly.

"It's easy. I'll call right away and get some people over." It's rare for Xia Jiusheng to ask him for help now, so he must solve it.

"Then I'll leave it to you. If it doesn't work out, watch out for your ass." Xia Jiusheng threatened viciously, not knowing that Zhao Zezhong had turned on the speakerphone.

"No problem, don't worry, the task must be completed." Zhao Zezhong blushed, and quickly turned off the speakerphone.

The group of bad friends around them laughed together with a coaxing sound.

"What are you laughing at, we are having fun, okay?" Zhao Zezhong held on shamelessly.

"I know, I know, you guys are interested, but I never thought that your tastes are so strong." Bai Qishun groaned strangely.

Zhao Zezhong glared at Brother Qi, ignored him, and wondered who would be suitable for dinner.

After thinking about it, he called his cousin Zhao Zenan first.

Zhao Zenan heard from his cousin that it was Xiao Xia who asked him for help, and he agreed without saying a word.

The Construction Bureau started work in the new year, and the colleagues in the unit have not had a meal together. Since there is such an opportunity today, let's gather the main persons in charge of the departments below and have a meal there.

He immediately called the director of the office and asked him to make arrangements immediately. Before eleven o'clock, he would gather at the gate of the National University on time. As for the red envelopes, of course he would leave it to the director of the office.

※※※

At 30:[-], all the guests from the woman's side have signed in and entered the venue, only the man's side has more than [-] people who have not arrived.

Zhao Honggao was relieved when he heard from his nephew that the arrangements had been made, but seeing that the time was running out and the person never arrived, his heart ached again.

Qian Xiaoli was always at the door, not knowing that her father-in-law's house had such a big mistake, but she secretly scolded those colleagues in the town, why didn't they come here earlier, and put on airs.

The cousin couldn't bear it, and whispered this matter in her ear.

Qian Xiaoli herself works in the town, and when she heard that these people let them go, she gritted her teeth angrily.

But there is no other way, even if father-in-law, the deputy mayor, and the others don't give face, it's useless to be angry to death.

"Go in, don't wait, no one will come." The cousin kindly persuaded. "It's almost time, go change your clothes early, don't miss the auspicious time."

Before the words were finished, there was a "squeak" and a red Porsche stopped in front.

The car door opened, and Bai Qishun got out of the car carelessly, threw the car keys to the attendant who came to help park the car, walked up the steps, and extended his hand to the puzzled-looking Zhu Binyu and his wife, "Happy newlyweds, have a baby early!" Xia Jiusheng greeted loudly: "Xiao Xia, no wonder I didn't see you at the party today, so you are here to be the best man."

"Yeah, brother Qi, I'm busy today, so I didn't go to your place." Xia Jiusheng thanked with a smile. "Thank you for coming to my cousin's wedding."

"Why are you being polite, we are not outsiders." Bai Qishun was very good at being a person in front of others. "I'm done here, where should I go for a drink?"

"Okay, Brother Qi." Xia Jiusheng led him over there to sign, and accepted his red envelope.

Qian Xiaoli was secretly surprised when she saw the young man who drove a luxury car and was familiar with her husband and his cousin. Judging by his appearance and demeanor, he was either the second generation of officials or the second generation of rich people. It is impossible for ordinary nouveau riche to have such a temperament.

That cousin's eyes are straight. She lives in Hangzhou. Although she has always said that she is used to seeing rich people and luxury cars, it is true that she is used to seeing them, but she has no chance to talk to people at close range.Now that handsome and rich man actually talked to that hillbilly cousin-in-law, she was not surprised.

Another Bentley stopped at the door, Su Cheng and Li Qiaowei got out of the car, arm in arm, and walked towards them.

Looking at this pair of golden boys and girls, Qian Xiaoli and Zhu Binyu were a little nervous.

The two of them have also been said to be golden boys and jade girls, but standing together with them, there is a feeling of being together with a sparrow and a phoenix.

"Happy newlyweds, happy marriage for a hundred years." Li Qiaowei and Su Cheng shook hands with the two with smiles on their faces, and then greeted Xia Jiusheng. "Xiao Xia, long time no see."

"Long time no see." Xia Jiusheng replied with a smile.

"Xiao Xia, you should call me cousin now, right? When will you change your name?" After meeting Li Qiaowei, Su Cheng's mood became much brighter, and now she actually has the mood to joke with Xia Jiusheng.

"Cousin, cousin, happy new year, here are the red envelopes." Xia Jiusheng would occasionally get crazy, seeing Su Cheng say this to himself, he responded with a smile.

"Stinky boy, it seems that you have been led by Zhao Zezhong." Su Cheng and Li Qiaowei didn't expect Xia Jiusheng to call out like that, and they blushed immediately. The next moment, Su Cheng patted Xia Jiusheng on the shoulder a few times, mouth Cursed.

"Who is speaking ill of me behind my back?" Zhao Zezhong drove an Audi and arrived. Hearing Su Cheng's words, he got out of the car with a smile and shouted.

The two sisters Qian Xiaoli looked at the people who came in, one was better than the other, they were all dumbfounded.

Zhao Zezhong and the others all knew each other. He was recognized as the rich second generation and husband of the nation. These people were with him and they all drove luxury cars. None of them were ordinary people.

Zhao Zezhong came over, greeted Zhu Binyu and Qian Xiaoli, and naturally stood beside Xia Jiusheng.

"Your cousin asked me to call him cousin too, but after I called him, they would come back with red envelopes." Xia Jiusheng glared at Su Cheng and Li Qiaowei, and complained to Zhao Zezhong.

"Cousin, then you are wrong. You are the one who wants someone to call you. How can you play tricks when others call you?" Zhao Zezhong put his arm around Xia Jiusheng's shoulder and immediately chimed in.

"Take it, take it." Su Cheng deliberately took out two red envelopes angrily, and stuffed them into Xia Jiusheng's hands. "Don't think too little."

"Thank you cousin and sister-in-law." Xia Jiusheng immediately changed his face, took it cheerfully, and put it in the inner pocket of his suit.

There were still people coming from behind, all of whom were friends of Zhao Zezhong, and they were not in a hurry to go in, so they stood by and waited.

Luxury cars drove in one after another, not only stunned Qian Xiaoli's cousins, but also stunned the relatives of the woman's family who came out to watch the fun.

I originally thought that the son-in-law in the country was honest and had no connections, so I looked down on him a bit.Unexpectedly, it was this unremarkable boy with such a wild way, who actually knew so many second-generation officials and rich second-generations.

※※※

Mayor Xu and a group of cronies in the town also walked into Shunbao Restaurant at this time and asked for a big box.

It's not yet the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so the year has not been counted yet. In the past few days, they changed their ways every day and came to Yucheng to eat and drink.

They are regular customers here, the manager and waiter of the hotel know them and know their preferences, they took them to the box to settle down, greeted them for a while, and then left to prepare food and drinks.

Everyone sat down and drank a cup of tea, and the waiter had brought the side dishes.

"It's almost eleven o'clock. Zhu Honggao is at the National University at this time. I guess he is looking forward to it?" The director of the office looked at Mayor Xu proudly, filled his teacup with water with a smile, and deliberately said something to the people next to him. Said.

"I think it's about the same." A deputy mayor glanced at the main seat and said seriously. "This old Zhu is just ignorant, so let him suffer some setbacks."

"Yes, yes." A woman said crisply. "When he arrived in the town, he had to follow the rules. He thought he was a village cadre, and he could do whatever he wanted. He didn't understand official rules at all."

"Forget it, don't talk about him." Mayor Xu understood that what they said was all flattering himself. Although he was very happy in his heart, he didn't want to show it too obviously, and instead said it pretending to be generous.

"Mayor Xu has a lot of grown-ups, so we don't care about him, but we are all small people. If we argue with him, we can't say anything about us, right?" Some people knew what Mayor Xu was thinking, and deliberately talked more and more vigorously.

At this time, the phone of the office director rang, but it was the person he secretly sent to the gate of the National University to find out the situation.

"How is it? Did Zhu Honggao's family turn blue and lose their temper?" The office felt that the timing was just right, and with the intention of watching a joke together, turned on the speakerphone and asked loudly on purpose.

"Leader, something seems wrong?" The other side of the phone did not give the answer he expected, but spoke solemnly. "Now there are a lot of young people driving luxury cars, and they seem to have a good relationship with the groom—"

"Driving a luxury car? You don't think Buick and Santana are luxury cars, do you?" The office director was startled when he heard this, and then laughed again.

Who is in Zhu Honggao's family?He still doesn't know?Except for their father and son, they are all farmers, and there is no one who eats from the public house?How can such a person afford to drive a luxury car? Don't be ridiculous?

At most, in order to support the scene, borrow a few European commercial vehicles worth 10,000+.

When the people present heard it, they also felt that the director of the office was right, and laughed together.

"You? Why is your mouth so bad? If Zhu Honggao heard it, you must be so mad?" Mayor Xu scolded the director of the office, but his heart was full of joy.

I took office on the same day as Zhu Honggao, and I originally wanted to draw him into my camp, but who knew that that person had his own principles in doing things, so he sang against him several times, and finally angered him.

In the days to come, he would suppress him whenever he had an opportunity, without saving any face for him. This trick was really effective in scaring chickens and monkeys. Everyone in the town was startled by his wrist and surrendered to him one by one.

Up to now, he has basically won over the people of the town government, and he is so powerful that he dares to fight against the secretary.

"No, Director, I know those cars. They are all brands like Audi, Porsche, and Bentley." The subordinate did not dare to lie and confessed honestly.

"What?" The office director's face darkened.

There aren't many cars of that brand in Yucheng, and ordinary people can't borrow them even if they want to. Does Zhu Honggao's family have a background that they don't know about?

"A few more people went in, wearing uniforms of the armed police, one with two bars and two stars, and a few with two bars and one star." The subordinates suddenly screamed again.

※※※

At the gate of the National University, Xia Jiusheng was about to bring Zhao Zezhong and his group to the banquet hall, when someone shouted from behind: "Xiao Xia."

"Brother Liang, why are you here?" Seeing that it was Li Haoliang, Xia Jiusheng stopped and called out.

"I came to Yucheng with a few comrades-in-arms to gather for lunch at the National University. I didn't expect to meet you. What a coincidence." Li Haoliang shook Xia Jiusheng's hand vigorously and said excitedly.

He didn't forget his grandfather's explanation, he must have a good relationship with Xia Jiusheng, preferably like a brother.

"That's a coincidence. Today my cousin got married and was the best man. The fourth brother and his friends also came to have a wedding drink and were about to send them in." Xia Jiusheng saw that there were several young people in uniforms of the armed police behind him. I don't know what their identities are, and I am too embarrassed to invite them to a wedding.

"Oh, Xiao Si is here too? Then they can drink wedding wine, won't they give us a chance?" Li Haoliang said hastily.

"Give me a red envelope, of course." Xia Jiusheng saw that he offered to drink a wedding wine, of course he didn't refuse, and even made a joke.

"Red envelopes are fine." Li Haoliang, who was always bold, patted Xia Jiusheng on the shoulder with a smile, and greeted the comrades behind him. "This is my good brother Xia Jiusheng. Everyone is lucky today, and we have wedding wine."

After speaking, he warmly congratulated Zhu Binyu and his wife.

The two sisters, Qian Xiaoli, were already numb at this time, and they just mechanically shook hands with Li Haoliang to say hello.

"Hello, Xiao Xia." Several comrades of Li Haoliang walked over to greet Xia Jiusheng one by one.

To be able to get along with Li Haoliang, no matter how straightforward his personality is, he will not be stupid. When he sees this young man, Li Haoliang will take the initiative to get close to him. How dare he despise him, and come over politely to say hello.

"Hello leaders." Xia Jiusheng respectfully shook hands with them one by one, not daring to underestimate them.

Seeing that they have two shoulders and one star on their shoulders, I know that they are all at the major level. If they are in the local area, the level is higher than that of the second uncle.

Most of the boys are interested in these, and Xia Jiusheng has also learned about the identities represented by these symbols.

Among these people, he only knew Luo Bin, so he said a few more words to him.

It was getting late, Xia Jiusheng didn't say any more, and led them to the banquet hall.

The master of ceremonies who presided over the wedding was contacted by Zhao Zezhong, two news anchors from Yucheng TV Station.

At this time, they were ready and stood on the side of the stage, waiting for the auspicious time to come.
