V4.Chapter 162

Chapter title: at 7 p.m., the magnificent banquet hall is filled with gold and jade

There are not many guests, but they are heavyweights in both political and business circles.

The ceremony was about to begin. There were not too many greetings in the banquet hall. After the guests sat down, most of them were looking at the people present tonight except for whispering laughter.

People in politics, regardless of faction tonight. All those who have some friendship with the Xu family are invited. The Qin Department is led by Qin Chiyu, the son of the old man of Qin, and the Jiang Department is led by Jiang Zhengqi's father, Jiang Shan, who is in the high position of the Committee. They are actually arranged at the same table. [

This represents the profound meaning of and is thought-provoking.

As if there had been no unpleasant factional struggle, Qin Chiyu and Jiang Shan smiled and nodded after they took their seats. When the rest saw it, they naturally greeted the other faction at the same table. People who often touch and roll in officialdom know that this is a signal. No matter what festivals in the past, they have to put it on hold tonight.

Tonight is the engagement ceremony of Xu Kangguo's beloved sun. No one dares to make a scene tonight.

Therefore, after taking the seat, the atmosphere between political dignitaries is harmonious, while the atmosphere at the business executives' table on the other side is obviously more festive.

The people at one table were the first to be noticed, because the majority of the seats were the generals of Huaxia group.

Chen manguan, sun Changde, Emily, Ma Xianrong, Liu banwang, Fang Li, Zhu Yanlan, Hu Guangjin, Miao Chenghong, Xiong Huaixing, ten people made up a table, and the top generals of Huaxia group came together!

When the eyes fell on the seven members of Huaxia group, some of the political and business dignitaries present were still surprised. Which of these people was older than Xia Shao and wondered how she had been hired to work in the first place? It was like an old fox who had been cheating in officialdom for half a life. At first, he met a hairy boy who had just taken office in a local place. Even if the boy had a deep background and had just entered an official career, It may not really be taken seriously. What's more, when Huaxia group was founded, Xia Shao was only 15 or 16 years old and depended on her family background. She can really be called a legend today.

Many times, no matter how beautiful the rumors are, they are not as shocking as what they see with their own eyes.

Not only that, two of the other three people on the table, except the seven generals of Huaxia group, don't know! Xiong Huaixing and Miao Chenghong, one is the boss of a state-owned enterprise, rich and powerful, and the other is the largest jade merchant in China. Today, they are invited to come. It can be seen that they have a good relationship with Xia Shao. The other person is a little famous and few people know him, but he can survive today On such a day, Xia Shao's invitation must weigh a lot in the mall.

In fact, Hu Guangjin's fame is not small. Ruihai group, as the leader of the garment industry in Qinghai Province, opened up overseas business last year and has an absolute reputation in China. However, most of the political dignitaries present tonight are at the provincial and ministerial level, and their horizons are very high. They can't get into their eyes if they don't reach a certain height. Even if they meet, it's hard to remember.

To the surprise of the political dignitaries present, except for the senior members of Huaxia group, the remaining three people at this table almost represent the top class of state-owned enterprises and private enterprises, which is of great significance.

But compared with the people at this table, when they swept to the people at the big banquet in front of this table, the atmosphere in the banquet hall was shocked!

At first, not many people noticed that the seats were messy. But when I saw the seats of Huaxia group and went to sweep the seats, even the political dignitaries present couldn't help staring!

A chair was removed from the seat. The old man sitting there was in a wheelchair. His hair was gray, but his face was red. The old man was dressed in red Tang clothes. He was very festive and looked familiar! Someone thought carefully and suddenly remembered that this was not the leading metaphysical figure in the Chinese community, Mr. Tang Zongbo, Mr. Tang?!

Xia Shao is the legitimate disciple of Tang Zongbo. It's no secret. No one is surprised that Tang Zongbo will come tonight - the Xu family dares to marry Xia Shao, a feng shui master, and is afraid to invite Tang Zongbo to an engagement wedding banquet?

Few of these people here don't care about their official fortune. They just call Feng Shui a feudal superstition on the surface. In fact, who doesn't care about their official career? Especially those who are at the provincial and ministerial level have reached this high level. Who doesn't want to go further and enter the central level? Therefore, I'll see you here tonight Tang Zongbo, no one doesn't shake. It's just that it's inconvenient to come forward and talk because of the scene tonight and the people present.

Tang Zongbo's shock to the atmosphere of the banquet hall is not all.

When people in public swept to the table, they shook frequently.

Hmm? Who is that? The old gentleman looks familiar. He seems to be the world-famous banker, Mr. Li Liangjun[

The old man next to him looks like Mr. Li Boyuan! The Li family in Hong Kong has also come? The Li family's weight is different from that of Xiong Huaixing and Miao Chenghong. It is the richest man in the Chinese community who has been received many times!

Well, who is that handsome young man? Hiss! Gong Muyun, chairman of Anqin international group?! Gong Muyun has a Mafia background! The well-known P

Ben Yao

In addition, the couple are... Chen Da and Luo Yuee?! the background of the Luo family almost represents Hong Kong politics. Luo Yuee's grandfather is a former governor of Hong Kong. After leaving office, she was granted earl. Now she lives in British politics and plays an important role! Although the Luo family has power in Britain and Hong Kong, it is related to the political exchanges between Hong Kong and the mainland, and successive domestic leaders attach great importance to it. It can be said that, The Luo family appeared at the engagement ceremony tonight. They are not only guests, but also distinguished guests!

How could such a distinguished guest be arranged on this table? Shouldn't we sit at the same table with master Qin Chiyu and Jiang Shan?

People who found Luo Yuee whispered one after another, but even if they thought of something, mulu was shocked that Mr. Tang Zongbo was at the table. It was obviously the woman's guest. Was it Xia Shao's invitation?

Not only that, there are two foreigners sitting on this table!

One of them is in his fifties. He doesn't know his face. Isn't this another figure who promoted the return of murals six months ago, old Burton, who showed his face in front of the media all over the world? Lattice group is also invited tonight? That's a world-class auction company!

The young man with blond hair and blue eyes made the political dignitaries in the banquet hall stare straight!

The new head of the obichris family, count Adam? Although this family is a wizard family, many people think it is nonsense in the mainland, it does not affect the status and influence of obichris family in the field of world religious beliefs. The archbishops of the Royal Church of England have come from the obichris family for generations. This family not only has great honor in Britain, but also has tens of millions of believers all over the world. Moreover, the succession storm six months ago gradually spread to China. Now it is no secret that the three ancient Centennial groups belong to the new count.

But this is not the most important thing. The important thing is that these people are sitting in the women's seats!

Is it difficult? Did you really come for Xia Shao's face?

These people's guesses are true.

Xia Shao didn't intend to invite Li Liangjun, old Burton and Adam, but when they heard the good news that she was going to be engaged, they took the initiative to call and asked with a smile if there was an invitation. Li Liangjun has a good relationship with Tang Zongbo, and Xia Shao certainly wants to give him this face; Lattice group has just signed the 10% equity agreement with Huaxia group, which is also regarded as "its own person"; Even though Adam had unresolved grievances with Xuanmen, he agreed to solve the matter years later. After Xia Shao asked Tang Zongbo's opinion, the old man didn't mind him coming, so Xia Shao gave him an invitation.

Xia Shao also informed Gong Muyun and Qi Chen of tonight's engagement ceremony, but Qi Chen didn't come, but Gong Muyun was present.

Gong Muyun's presence was approved by Xu Kangguo. He knows the relationship between an Qinhui, triad and Xuanmen. Both of them are Xia Shao's friends. They are engaged. It doesn't make sense if they don't inform their friends.

The anpfp has white business, and the country is not unaware of its underworld background. However, due to its historical origin and the impact of anpfp International Group on the domestic economy, the anpfp and triad have always been immovable. Of course, the state's permission to exist does not mean that the underworld is legal, nor does it mean that people in politics are too close to the underworld and will not be criticized.

But how shrewd is the old man? I'm afraid few of the political dignitaries present tonight can think of it. His old man invited both Jiang and Qin. It is precisely because they are opponents that they check and balance each other. People from both factions were present tonight. No matter who is not suitable to appear here, after the banquet, everyone toasted and exchanged greetings with each other. No one can pick it off, so no one will make a fuss about it, Used to attack each other in the future.

It seems that there is a disagreement between Jiang and Qin. Being present together tonight will make the atmosphere a little subtle. But in fact, this is the greatest protection for the Xu family.

Few people present thought of this, and the atmosphere in the banquet hall was still shaking.

Adam, old Burton, Gong Muyun, Li Boyuan, Luo Yuee, Li Liangjun

The presence of these people moved the atmosphere before the engagement ceremony began! [

What kind of contacts is this?

There was a rumor that Huaxia group's contacts were frightening, but the true meaning of the rumor was known only by seeing it tonight. Where did a 20-year-old girl get such influence from the underworld, the white road, politics, business and even religion?

Before sitting here tonight, some political dignitaries were still thinking about it. They thought that Xia Shao's ordinary family background would be a high climb to marry into the political giants of the Republic. But now look at these people, are they really high climb?

Even if the Xu family marries a worthy granddaughter-in-law, they may not have such contacts! All the people present here are senior political and military officials, and there are daughters at home. Whose daughter can have such contacts at this age?

With low air extraction and surging vibration, military and political officials put away their talking and laughing mentality, changed a serious expression, stared at the door of the hall and waited.

……

The first person to wait was Xu Kangguo's admission.

The over seventy old man walked into the banquet hall with his head held high with his walking stick.

There was no master of ceremonies at tonight's engagement ceremony. Xu Kangguo spoke on the stage in person. The banquet hall quieted down the moment the old man came in, and all eyes looked at the stage. Except Qin Chiyu, an old man of this age, most people here saw Xu Kangguo standing on such an occasion for the first time in their memory. He was not a founding father and an important Minister of the country, but a grandfather An ordinary old man who is only happy about his grandson's engagement.

"Distinguished guests, thank you for coming to attend the engagement ceremony between my grandson Xu Tianyin and my granddaughter-in-law Xia Shao tonight. As we all know, my grandson Xu Tianyin has been abroad for a long time. He is 30 years old and hasn't married his daughter-in-law. He makes my old man's hair white." Xu Kangguo's speech was really different from that at the national meeting. The opening remarks sounded like an old man talking about his daily life. The people at the bottom were surprised, but they all smiled.

What do you mean you didn't marry a daughter-in-law? If Xu Tianyin wants to get engaged, I don't know how many people have broken their heads and want to fight! Don't worry?

"This boy is cold faced and speechless all day. I thought he was going to be a bachelor all his life. Unexpectedly, this boy became enlightened. Shao girl is really good, patriotic and upright! This is what I have always asked of the Xu family's children. She has these qualities and can be the Xu family's granddaughter-in-law." after all, she is used to being dignified. After the long talk, Xu Kangguo's tone became dignified again.

Hearing this, the people present breathed in and didn't dare to breathe again for a long time. Although it is the opening speech, the old man is so sure of his granddaughter-in-law. Who will dare not take Xia Shao seriously in the future?

Let Xu Kangguo say this affirmation in front of the important politicians of the Republic. This girl really has a big face! It seems that the old man thinks highly of his granddaughter-in-law

"Hehe, well, I'll say so much so that it won't become a meeting. Tonight is the engagement ceremony of the two children. The protagonist is them, and I, the old man, won't be here to take up their time." when the atmosphere under the stage surged, Xu Kangguo smiled, walked down with a walking stick, and sat down at the table of the chief Xu family and Xia family on the left.

At the banquet, the two families arrived together, except Xia Zhiyuan.

In the banquet hall, the lights went dark.

The atmosphere was also quiet. Only the sound of some people turning around was heard, and everyone's eyes looked to the side of the stage.

Xu Tianyin didn't know when he stood there. Maybe it was the moment when the light was dark, but everyone didn't find anyone coming in. Only when the light on the stage was on, I saw the man standing there.

The black Zhongshan suit is cold and heroic. It is as bright as the light of the day. It can't change a man's loneliness. His shoulders are like frost and snow, and the whole person is like a lone wolf standing in the snow. He stood high, and the world's gaze on him was closed to him. He only turned his head and looked in a direction.

At the entrance of the hall.

The guests turned their heads!

A light lit up and the light music sounded slowly.

It's not a wedding march, it's just music full of happiness.

A woman took her father's hand and smiled in the light. Her eyes only looked in one direction, his direction.

He met her this morning. In the snow, in front of the tombstone, she is the memory of his life. But tonight, she added another stroke to his memory. She was the one he had never seen before, standing still on the red carpet with her father's arm in her white dress. The dazzling light is not as bright as her quiet and soft youth, and the pearls on her chest are not as moist as the pearls on her skin. He didn't look at her dress, only at her eyebrows and eyes. They stood in the light across the long red carpet, as if staring at each other in two time and space.

If time acquiesces, I wish you a lifetime.

Tonight, in a trance, it's not an engagement, but a wedding they promised for a lifetime.

The man's chest is heavy and undulating, and hasn't fallen for a long time. A short red carpet, he felt so long, unconsciously went down the stage, looked at her eyebrows, but he forgot to go forward. Just look at her and walk step by step.

She has never been amazing, but tonight when she walked across the red carpet, the guests in the banquet hall looked more seriously. No one despises or questions. If she doesn't take such a road, who can come?

The music is light, and the light is slowly diffuse with the woman, as if time is approaching. No one thinks this road is short, and the time is long for everyone.

Including Xia Shao's side.

Xia Zhiyuan, in a suit and shoes, looked straight ahead and walked straight and stiff. In his life, when his heart beat so strongly, he remembered only once. That was twenty-two years ago, the day I married my wife. Tonight, he relives the heartbeat of the old days. It has been more than 20 years. His daughter stands tall and graceful beside him, holding his arm, waiting to enter another man's world.

This is marriage!

Xia Zhiyuan bit his cheek. When the two lights gathered together, he felt that holding his daughter's hand was so heavy.

The heart beat like a drum, and the two men looked at each other as if they were looking at each other.

Smelly boy, this is an engagement, not a marriage! Your test is not over yet. Don't think you'll be relaxed after tonight. Xia Zhiyuan said in his heart, but he didn't forget the occasion tonight. He gave his prospective son-in-law a blow with his eyes. When he handed his daughter's hand to his hand, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Xu Tianyin only looked at Xia Shao and didn't even give Xia Zhiyuan the light at the end of his eyes.

No one cares about the father who vomited blood and left the scene. Everyone's eyes are in the light. At the moment, there are only two young people. Their engagement ring has already been worn by each other. Even tonight, they don't want to take it off for a moment.

Feelings are not performances. Having each other in your heart is better than everything.

Xia Shao smiled. As soon as she smiled, her eyebrows and eyes bent pleasantly. Xu Tianyin held her hand and refused to loosen it. Her eyes also stared at her and refused to move away. The man's loneliness finally melted in front of the woman, and the corners of his lips gently raised. This time, it was not short, but for a long time. Whether someone was watching or not, he opened his arms and hugged her.

This hug was his usual way. In the banquet hall, the atmosphere among the guests was surging.

It is said that Xu Tianyin has a lonely temperament. He is the wolf king in the army. He never communicates with people. He is extremely well served by his soldiers, but he is also extremely afraid. Unexpectedly, no matter how lonely the wolf is, there is also a time of tenderness. And his tenderness was not seen by many people before tonight.

The Xu family smiled, while most of the Xia family blushed and were ashamed. Xia Zhiyuan's blood came out from the bottom of his eyes. Holding his fist, she wanted to fly the plate on the table. Li Juan looked at her husband and smiled with a red face.

On the other side of the banquet hall, three pairs of eyes dropped gently, their faces kept smiling, and only they knew the taste at the bottom of their hearts.

I don't know how long it took. Applause broke out in the banquet hall and the lights lit up, which made Xu Tianyin and Xia Shao end their hug. Xia Shao smiled. When Xu Tianyin looked at the guests, his lips smiled and his breath was cold. The Buddha was very upset about being disturbed. Fortunately, Xia Shao was on the side. They held their hands. Xia Shao made a great effort to stop the man from releasing the air conditioner.

Until the applause fell, Xu Yanshao stood up with a smile and came to the stage.

"Hehe, as the uncle of the two children, I will speak on behalf of my eldest brother and sister-in-law today." Xu Tianyin's parents went early. The old man had already spoken at the beginning, and the right of the man's parents to speak was naturally handed over to Xu Yanshao. This has been discussed for a long time. Although Xia Shao has not recognized Xu Yanshao's family in his heart, he is Xu Tianyin's uncle in the eyes of outsiders. It will inevitably make people speculate if he is not allowed to speak on such an occasion today. For the sake of the old man, Xia Shao won't refuse.

Xu Yanshao cherished this opportunity and prepared early. He considered every word and sentence, which was more nervous than when he spoke at an important meeting. If someone told him at this time last year that he would one day pay attention to a person to the extent that he prepared his own speech, he would think that person was crazy. He is the second generation of the Xu family and a member of the Republic. Even if he reports to the old man, he has never treated him like this.

But who could have thought that he would fall like this?

Alas!

This girl is his nemesis. Maybe one day she will be the Savior of the Xu family.

"My eldest brother and sister-in-law died early. Tianyin was in Hong Kong and abroad in his early years. As an uncle, I paid little attention to him. In the past two years, when he came home, it was the elders who should be able to organize the engagement ceremony for him. Not only the engagement ceremony, but also the wedding ceremony in the future, the family will do it for you. Everything is according to your wishes. My uncle here just wants to tell you about it We are a family no matter how long we have been away. We don't have to remember the wishes of our elders. It's all right. "

Only Xu Yanshao himself knows how much sincerity and how much scene words there are. But at least it sounds very emotional to outsiders, full of elders' guilt and blessings to younger generations.

Xu Yanshao knew that Xia Shao certainly didn't like him to say more and sensational on this occasion. Therefore, he just said these two sentences briefly and symbolically, and gave the seat to Xia Shao's parents.

Xia Zhiyuan and Li Juan.

"Hehe, today, the two children are engaged to be married in good faith. Both the old man and I have spoken. I think everyone also wants to hear what the woman's parents have to tell the two children. I won't be here." Xu Yanshao smiled and compared an invitation gesture, and the guests looked at it together.

Xia Zhiyuan and Li Juan stood up nervously.

Although it is too laggy, I think it's a good day.

Tomorrow is singles day. Today I finally married my senior brother. Hahaha~

Finish the engagement tomorrow and we'll finish the book.
