morning.
Drainage Hotel.
The red words "Happy" were posted, firecrackers were hung, and the hotel entrance was very lively.
However, it is said that this is the best hotel in Zhenshui County, and there are no stars. Let alone the number of stars, let alone the capital and several first-tier cities. Even if it is Fenzhou City, where Dong Xuebin stayed for a long time, he can just pull it. An ordinary hotel would be better than this one in terms of decoration and area. However, Zhenshui County is suffering from poverty. Objective factors and historical reasons have led to the current situation. Ordinary investors will not go there at all. Invest money here, because there is no spending power here at all, and the money you invest will be wasted. In a vicious circle, Zhenshui County is increasingly declining. It is good to have one or two hotels.
There were many people gathered outside, none of whom were high-ranking, at least they were not cadres who lived in the county party committee's family home and were not qualified to go to the family home to welcome the bride.
At a rough count, there were about twenty or thirty people.
Everyone was outside the hotel looking eagerly in the west direction, waiting for the arrival of the wedding convoy.
Inside, there were naturally two couples of classmates, colleagues and friends of the bride and groom, also waiting.
"Why haven't you come yet?"
"Yeah, it's an hour late."
"Shh, keep your voice down, I heard something happened."
"Ah? Something happened? What happened?"
"It seems like the family home, I don't know much about it. I just heard it from a friend."
"Hey, stop talking. Look, the motorcade is coming. It's the motorcade of Zhang Shuji's family."
The first few Audis that appeared in front of everyone were followed by a long line of wedding cars. The formation is huge and the pomp is very long.
"Quickly pull the whip!"
"Yes, yes! Pull the whip!"
Crackling! The people at Zhang Shu's house immediately set off firecrackers!
Immediately afterwards, another group of motorcades appeared from behind—it was the motorcade of Pu Shujia’s family!
"Pu Shuji is here too!"
"Set off the firecrackers, set off the firecrackers!"
"Hey, what's wrong with that car..."
"The first car? What the first car?"
"Huh? This is... a Land Rover!"
"Why do I look like a top-spec Range Rover?"
"It's not like that! That's it, right? I'll go! It's a four million car!"
"And that car number, the one with the prefix Beijing 6666? This...where is this car?"
"Isn't Pu Shu's family an Audi? When did he switch to such a luxurious off-road vehicle?"
As soon as the Land Rover appeared, it immediately suppressed the momentum of Zhang Shuji's several Audis, and the black Land Rover stopped at the door of the hotel. The atmosphere at the scene fell silent. Many people who knew the car were stunned and stared at the luxury car. The remaining people who didn't know gradually heard the value of the car from the people next to them. Everyone also took a breath of air-conditioning. Although Secretary Pu's family's wedding convoy did not have many cars, about ten cars less than Secretary Zhang's, the first car of Secretary Pu's family was a Land Rover costing 4 million. To put it bluntly, the combined price of all the cars in Zhang Shuji’s fleet is probably not as expensive as that Land Rover off-road vehicle. So as soon as the Land Rover stopped there, Zhang Shuji’s fleet suddenly seemed A bit shabby.
The people in the car gradually got off.
"That car..."
"Old Sun, this is..."
"That's County Magistrate Dong's car."
"...Ah? It belongs to County Magistrate Dong?"
"Well, it seems to be County Magistrate Dong's own private car."
"Uh, why is such an expensive car... a private car??"
"Then I don't know. Anyway, that's what County Magistrate Dong said just now."
Many people were shocked by the news. He glanced frequently at Dong Xuebin, who had just gotten off the car, his eyes flickering.
Then, another news spread.
"By the way, isn't the head car of Mr. Zhang's family a Lexus?"
"Yes, I took a look at it before. Why did it change to an Audi?"
"Hey, don't mention it. When we were going out, our Lexus was hit by Magistrate Dong's Land Rover. Well, it wasn't intentional, it was just a coincidence."
"ah?"
"Is there still this matter?"
"I can't remember that [book] yet..."
"Stop talking about this. Don't you look bad if you haven't read the book? Don't let anyone hear you again."
Zhang Wanshui's expression was not very good. On the other hand, Mr. Pu and Mrs. Pu who got out of the car looked a little high-spirited, forming a sharp contrast. Regardless of position or camp, Pu An has always been suppressed by Zhang Wanshui, so now he has suppressed Zhang Wanshui once in the wedding ceremony. Pu An also feels very proud. Seeing his daughter and son-in-law looking happy, he It's also very gratifying.
"Taotao!"
"Ha! Xiaotao!"
"Congratulations!"
Several Pu Tao's classmates gathered around.
Pu Tao smiled and greeted them, "Thank you, yo, Niu is here too? When I called you, you said you didn't have time."
The woman smiled and said: "Our family Taotao's wedding, I have to come even if I quit my job."
"Just tell me, why didn't your lover come?"
"He is busy with work and really can't spare any time today. Let me take it for you." After saying that, the woman named Niuzi looked at the black Land Rover and exclaimed: "What a good car, what a good car. Taotao, where did you get such a car? I have lived in Zhenshui County for thirty years, but I have never seen such an expensive off-road vehicle."
Pu Tao glanced at Dong Xuebin's side and said, "I borrowed someone else's car."
Niuzi smiled, "When did such a rich man come to Zhenshui County?" As she said that, she followed Pu Tao's gaze and looked over, "Is it his car?"
Pu Tao smiled and said yes.
"Are you rich?" Niuzi's eyes brightened, and she greeted Dong Xuebin who was not far away like she was familiar with him, "Hey, that brother, here!"
Dong Xuebin looked over suspiciously and pointed at himself, meaning to call me
Niuzi smiled and said: "I am Taotao's classmate. Brother, do you run a company?"
Dong Xuebin smiled and joked: "I also want to open a company, but the policy doesn't allow me."
The old classmate's "brother" frightened Pu Tao, and he hurriedly pulled her hard, "Girl! Don't scream! That's County Magistrate Dong!"
"County Magistrate Dong? What County Magistrate Dong?"
"The newly appointed executive deputy county magistrate of Zhenshui County!"
The girl was shocked. She felt sweat on her forehead. "Uh, you didn't tell me earlier!" She hurriedly said to Dong Xuebin: "I'm sorry, County Magistrate Dong, I... ahem..." She is Pu Tao's classmate, Pu Tao's father Pu Tao An is also the secretary of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection and a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, so Niuzi felt that the people present should be people of much lower rank than Taotao's father. She could recognize him even at a certain level, so she casually called Dong Xuebin brother, but unexpectedly she hit a brick wall. She was also a little embarrassed.
Dong Xuebin smiled and said, "It's okay."
Pu An immediately said: "Mr. Dong, please stop standing outside. It's windy today. Come inside quickly."
"That's right." The groom and Mrs. Pu also greeted Dong Xuebin into the hotel.
As soon as Dong Xuebin left, Pu'an's old classmate Niuzi smiled bitterly, "Okay, I'm really embarrassed today, look at my mouth!"
Pu Tao said with a smile: "You, you, just be poor."
Niuzi said: "But I didn't know he was the deputy county magistrate, he is so young."
Pu Tao's other male and female classmates also looked at Dong Xuebin's back in surprise. They did not expect that this person was actually the deputy county magistrate!
Pu Tao said: "Thanks to County Magistrate Dong for helping me today, alas."
"What's wrong? Are you still sighing on the big day? Huh?"
"Haha, it's nothing. I'm happy now, so I won't say anything anymore!"
"Haha, you have to be happy to have a four-million-dollar Land Rover and walk around the county. Let me experience it later. Uh, forget it. It's the deputy county magistrate's car. Give it to me. I don’t dare to open it.”
…
hotel.
Upstairs banquet room.
There are two banquet halls on this floor, one on the west side of the corridor. The room on the east side of the corridor happened to be occupied by Pu and Zhang.
So both groups of wedding attendees have to pass through the rest area in the middle.
Dong Xuebin was also smoking in the rest area at this time and did not go to the wedding venue first.
"County Magistrate Dong."
"Are you smoking?"
Dong Xuebin also made a lot of limelight today. Not to mention the collision with Zhang Wanshui's car, it was this Land Rover that pushed him to the forefront. However, Dong Xuebin obviously didn't care. This guy also let go and saw that someone was kind. Dong Xuebin greeted him with a smile and threw his cigarette away.
"Ouch, Soft China?"
"Have one?"
"This is a good smoke, you have to try it."
Dong Xuebin's cigarettes are naturally indistinguishable, either Soft Chinese or Soft Blue Furong King, and he has several packs of them with him. On the other hand, the wedding cigarettes are just Yuxi in a hard box, with twenty-one boxes. From this point of view, many people I also saw Dong Xuebin’s family background.
This is really rich!
…
ten minutes later.
People from downstairs came up one after another.
There were two couples of bride and groom, several families, and a lot of people.
Dong Xuebin knew that the wedding was about to start, so he put out his cigarette butts, nodded to the people who had just chatted, stood up and straightened his clothes.
"County Magistrate Dong? Didn't you go in?" Pu An finished picking up people outside and went upstairs.
Dong Xuebin smiled and said, "Have a smoke."
"Director Yan?"
"Director Yan is here?"
When Pu An turned around, he also saw Yan Yizhi and Chen Xiaomei and said hello to them.
Yan Yizhi, the director of the County Finance Bureau, ranks among the top three in terms of position and power among all neighborhood committees, and many county party committee leaders will not take him lightly.
However, Yan Yizhi and Chen Xiaomei are both die-hard generals of the Mongolian family. Everyone knows this, so after having thoughts about the Mongolian people today, Pu An just said hello and said nothing, because everyone knows Yan Yizhi They will go to Zhang Shuji's son's wedding.
But at this moment, Dong Xuebin reached out and greeted them, "Director Yan, Director Chen, hehe, let's go in together."
Yan Yizhi heard County Magistrate Dong's greeting, said hello with a smile, and then followed Dong Xuebin into the wedding venue of Secretary Pu's house without thinking.
Chen Xiaomei followed closely behind.
At this moment, almost everyone was stunned for a moment!
Pu An was stunned, and several people in the rest area over there also felt a thump in their hearts!
