Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 1125 The Big Day

Xiao Wei and Bei Bei spent a long time coaxing her, and finally managed to appease Miss Wang.

It's hard to say for sure. The kindergarten did make some mistakes, but it's not fair to blame them for making a big fuss.

Government offices are like little megaphones; they can spread even the smallest things around the world. Xiaowei really didn't want to get into that trouble.

And that was the end of it.

After dinner, the family sat down to continue reviewing the invitation list.

The next day, Xiaowei drove Beibei to the Provincial Party Committee Kindergarten, met with the principal, thanked her, and explained that he had really caused her trouble by stopping halfway there. He also introduced himself to the principal, explained what had happened there, and gave her a heads-up.

In the afternoon, Xiaowei and Xiaohong finished compiling all the lists, and Xiaowei started writing. His handwriting was neater.

It took me a full hour and a half to write over sixty invitations.

Then the invitations were wrapped in bright red wedding envelopes, with congratulatory messages written on them, and the company arranged for them to be delivered to various locations. Each location's manager personally delivered them to the door.

Once the invitations were sent out, there wasn't much else to do; we just waited for our turn to get things done.

The banquet doesn't need to be arranged by the family; the restaurant will handle that. The family only needs to pick up relatives and friends from the county a day in advance. Accommodation is also readily available—the company's guesthouse. It wasn't arranged at home.

The banquet was held at our own restaurant, the Huangcheng branch. It's the largest restaurant in Fengtian City, capable of accommodating nearly 500 people, and could easily hold 700. Of course, we certainly wouldn't have that many people attending the wedding; we just wanted a larger, more spacious venue.

The Huangcheng branch will be closed on the 20th. A large red notice was posted at the entrance: "Closed for five days due to the boss's wedding. Please dine at other branches." Below was a list of the addresses and phone numbers of the branches in Fengtian. Many people then realized, "Oh, there are branches, and quite a few at that."

This also helps develop customer sources for other stores.

The company office staff organized people to decorate the store. They put up big red "double happiness" characters, hung up confetti canopies, placed fresh flowers everywhere in the room, changed the stage backdrop to bright red, hung a huge "double happiness" character in the center, and drew two pink gauze curtains, creating a romantic atmosphere.

From the moment you enter the house, every two meters there is a red flower made of silk cloth hanging down, with the red flower in the center above a person's head, and the silk ribbons on both sides forming waves that hang down the walls on both sides. Red silk "double happiness" characters are also hung on the walls and pillars.

An Laowu personally took charge, working with the restaurant's head chef to refine the banquet menu, revising and re-editing until they finalized twenty-six dishes.

They also recruited waitresses from various stores to serve as emcees. The emcee was an old acquaintance, the beautiful Ms. Shen from the TV station.

On the 24th, the company sent two large buses to the county to pick up people. Xiaowei's parents and Aunt Wang carried Beibei back with them.

The two trucks were packed with people from the village, the county, families with whom Uncle Wang had exchanged gifts when he worked in the county, friends, colleagues, the secretary and the county head, as well as cadres from the mountain products company.

Beibei's mother and maternal grandmother were definitely not to be left out; they sat and talked with the Party Secretary and the County Head. Wang Guifang is no longer the timid and weak woman she used to be. After several years in leadership positions and working as a police officer, her interpersonal skills have changed considerably.

Director Li of the county bureau was now the director of the city bureau, and he came along this time as well. He had previously served concurrently as the deputy county head, which was at the deputy division level.

The guesthouse staff finally found a use for their skills. Since the guesthouse was not open to the public, it usually didn't have many guests.

Old Chen and Aunt Chen also returned, accompanied by their respective secretaries and drivers. At this level, the drivers are no longer just ordinary drivers.

Invitations from various places have been answered one after another in the past few days. Secretary Tian from Harbin sent a congratulatory message and sent his secretary over. Secretary Quan, who has already arrived at the People's Congress, will be there in person. Secretary Yue, who went to Heilongjiang, happens to be in Fengtian, which is perfect.

From Jibei, a congratulatory letter was jointly sent by the provincial party committee and government, and a gift was delivered on their behalf by the First Secretary. As for Xidu, needless to say, the big boss of Mile came in person, representing his father and Secretary Wang.

Needless to say, people from Liaodong and other cities and prefectures will definitely come if they have the time. Now it just depends on whether the two provincial leaders will grace us with their presence.

Xiao Wei's wedding task force has also formulated a series of corresponding measures. This is no joke; this is a serious matter.

After a day and a night of heavy snowfall, the day arrived.

The morning of the wedding was quite fun. Since the two families were sharing a room, the bride's arrival was a complete mystery – what to do?

Later, Xiaowei's father and Uncle Wang discussed it and decided to skip the wedding procession and just go directly to the restaurant.

The two families tidied up and, along with a large group of relatives and friends, went directly to the restaurant.

The hotel entrance was spotless inside and out, with two rows of tall and beautiful welcoming ladies standing in a row. The entrance split into two sides, with a carved plaque on each side. The right plaque read "May you have a long and happy marriage," and the left plaque read "May you prosper and flourish." A large red carpet stretched from the entrance all the way to the stage.

Laying this carpet took a lot of effort because the hotel's design didn't include any flat or straight paths; instead, it consisted of winding wooden paths and steps that varied in height.

The usher led the relatives and friends from the county to their seats, serving tea, cigarettes, wedding candies, fruit, and various snack platters. Then, Xiao Wei, dressed in a suit, and Xiao Hong, dressed in a red embroidered Republic-era outfit, stood by the entrance to wait for the guests.

Because the guests are different, Xiaowei and Xiaohong's wedding cannot be held according to local customs.

All the guests were given an approximate time. After the relatives and friends from the county were seated, their friends from this side arrived one after another.

Xiao Wei's side, Chang Yuan and the others have been busy with things these past few days, and they arrived early today as well. The only ones who can be considered his friends are the police.

Police officers from more than a dozen police stations, including Jixian, Wanliu, and Huangcheng, arrived, filling the station with officers. Fortunately, except for Jixian, only leaders from other stations came.

Manager Zhang, Director Liu, and other managers, deputy managers, and key management personnel from the companies below them arrived with their families.

Then another group of soldiers were invited, including officers at the company level and above from the infrastructure construction regiment.

Almost all of Xiao Hong's colleagues came, and whether their sentiments were genuine or not, they all offered their blessings. The director even patted Xiao Wei on the shoulder and gave him a few words of encouragement.

As the guests entered, the emcee began to sing, and everyone in the room listened, especially those from the county, who were attending such a strange wedding for the first time. Ninety percent of them were simply curious and curious.

"My goodness, so many police chiefs and deputy chiefs! Isn't Old Wang's family in charge of building houses? Why are there so many police officers here?"

"There are so many people in the city doing business these days. Listen to them, they're all managers and deputy managers. I wonder how much money they have."

"Why are soldiers here too? They're all officers. What's the construction unit? Oh, they're the ones building houses."

A group of directors from the power industry came in, and even the people in the administrative office started talking: "What does Wang Xiaohong's boyfriend do? There are so many power industry directors here, all of them are high-ranking officials from various cities."

When Wang Xiaohong and her team arrived, the section chief couldn't sit still and ran out to greet them: "Secretary-General, you've come too."

The secretary-general nodded: "The provincial governor has something to attend to and asked me to represent him. Has Secretary-General Zhang not arrived yet?"

The section chief shook his head: "Not here yet." He accompanied the secretary-general, following behind the ceremonial staff, and secretly clicked his tongue in amazement. He realized that the secretary-general wasn't coming because of a colleague relationship, nor because of Wang Xiaohong's father, and that the provincial party committee was also coming. This was impressive.
