Chapter 552: [Wedding banquet on the street]

Views:

morning.

It's past eleven o'clock.

Dong Xuebin inspected the cleanup work of illegal buildings in Liuxiangnan Hutong. When he saw that the debris of the collapsed buildings had been cleared, he drove the Cayenne back to the street office and prepared to have lunch. But as soon as the car arrived at the street office compound, I heard bursts of firecrackers crackling from behind, which was very lively.

When did you start firing off cannons

Who is married

Dong Xuebin frowned and followed the sound while driving.

Ping'an Street is not under the jurisdiction of Dong Xuebin, but under the jurisdiction of Ping'an Street Office. This street is close to Dong Xuebin's office building, which is the street diagonally behind it. Dong Xuebin pulls it every time in the office You can see it by opening the window, very close. In fact, the working location of the Guangming Street Office was not here before, but near Huaian Yili. However, due to the demolition and rectification there in the past few years, the Guangming Street Office was moved to the edge of the street jurisdiction, adjacent to the family building of Guangming Street. , and is only separated from Ping An Street by an alley. As for the division of jurisdiction, this side is bounded by the alley behind the workplace of Guangming Street Office, and the west end is bounded by the creek.

One hundred meters…

Two hundred meters…

Three hundred meters…

Finally found the source of the firecracker sound.

It was a relatively high-end restaurant. Someone was getting married, and the restaurant was packed with a long motorcade. The scene was quite grand.

Dong Xuebin lost interest after just one glance and wanted to go back as soon as he turned the steering wheel.

But suddenly, someone called him, "Director! Director Dong! Director Dong!"

Stunned, Dong Xuebin looked up and saw Wang Yuling in a white suit standing at the door of the restaurant waving to her. Seeing this, Dong Xuebin didn't want to save her face, so he drove over. I thought that this is where Wang Yuling said she would take time off to attend a classmate's wedding this morning.

The car stopped, Dong Xuebin opened the door and got out, "Director Wang, why are you here?"

Wang Yuling said with a playful smile: "A good sister of mine got married in high school, so of course I have to come. Director, are you also attending the wedding?"

"I was just passing by." Dong Xuebin said with a smile: "Okay, you can go about your business."

Wang Yuling said calmly: "Don't worry, the banquet will start soon. You can come too."

Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "Your classmate is getting married, so I won't join in the fun, right?"

"My classmate's lover is Director Chu's son. Many of the people here today are people from the system."

"...Director Chu?" He seemed to have an impression.

"Well, Chu Qinghua, director of Ping'an Street Office."

Dong Xuebin just remembered this name. It turns out that it was the son of the director of the brother's street office who was hosting a wedding banquet. He had only been here for a week. Naturally, he had never seen Chu Qinghua, but their jurisdictions were arm to arm and thigh to elbow. Holding his thighs, Dong Xuebin had already heard of Chu Qinghua’s name.

Wang Yuling's political wisdom has never been high, so she insisted on letting Dong Xuebin go in together.

Dong Xuebin smiled helplessly. They were all from the agency, but Chu Qinghua didn't even send an invitation to his buddies. Why should I go in? However, when he thought about it, Dong Xuebin frowned in his heart again, thinking that my brother is also the leader of your Ping An Street Office and the brother street office. Director Chu Qinghua held a wedding banquet at his home, and even Wang Yuling was invited. Why didn't he even give an invitation phone number? Did you call your buddy? You don't take me seriously! Thinking of this, Dong Xuebin's eyes moved. Wouldn't it be a bit shameful to go back like this? Wouldn't anyone think that he left in despair because he didn't have an invitation? paralysis! How can this be done? I'm going in today! And my brother-in-law won’t pay even a penny! If you don't even give me this little face, why should I give you face

It has to be said that Dong Xuebin has never been a master who plays his cards according to common sense. "Director Wang, okay, then I will join in the fun and let's go."

"Hey, who is this?" A person who seemed to be a family member came over.

Wang Yuling said with a smile: "This is Director Dong Xuebin of our sub-district office."

This sound immediately attracted the attention of many people. They all looked at Dong Xuebin standing in front of Cayenne and started whispering.

"Is this Director Dong?"

"The one who took the lead in beating people in Guangming Street?"

"Why did he come here in a Porsche? Is this his car?"

"Let me go, what kind of subdistrict office director is this? He really dares to drive."

"How many million does that car cost? Why does the license plate start with Beijing? 9999?"

"Isn't this car better than the first car for Director Chu's son's wedding?"

"Not only is it better, buying two high-end imported Mercedes-Benz can't match the price of this Cayenne. Is this really the concurrent director of the Guangming Street Office? No way?"

"This is too impressive. Even the richest man in Nanshan District doesn't have such an expensive car."

As soon as Dong Xuebin appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of many people. Most of the people present were cadres and staff from the Ping An Street Office, as well as some leaders from other streets. The events caused by Dong Xuebin recently may not have caused much trouble in the district. , but the nearby sub-district office obviously knew about it. After hearing about those things, especially the people in the Ping An Sub-district Office became very curious about the leader of the brother street. When they saw it, everyone was speechless and felt It's true that he deserves his reputation. This master is really a thorn. Who in the entire Nanshan District dares to beat ordinary people in public? Who dares to drive around in a car worth millions? That is, Dong Xuebin dares!

Of course Dong Xuebin didn't mean to show off. There were so many people in the system present. He would have changed a car if he wanted to come over. But since he was already driving, he didn't mean to dodge. He just took it as he came.

The bride and groom had already entered the restaurant, and after a while, everyone walked in one after another.

"Director, shall we go in too?" Wang Yuling asked.

Dong Xuebin didn't know anyone except Wang Yuling, so he nodded without saying hello to anyone else. They followed the crowd into the restaurant hall.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man about fifty years old came up to him with a smile, "Is this Director Dong?"

Wang Yuling said quickly in a low voice: "Chu Qinghua, director of the Ping An Street Office."

It's him? Dong Xuebin also smiled and stretched out his hand to hold his, "I am Dong Xuebin, Director Chu, right? Haha, I have admired you for a long time, but I came here uninvited today?"

Chu Qinghua smiled and said: "You just took office, and I don't have your phone number here. I haven't been able to contact you in the past two days. It's just right."

"Haha, just don't disturb me. Congratulations, sir."

"Thank you, come on, please come inside." After greeting him, Chu Qinghua left, smiling to pick up another leading cadre.

Although Chu Qinghua said it politely, Dong Xuebin's impression of him still hasn't improved, and he can't contact me? How is it possible? My brother’s mobile phone number is not the same, but you still don’t know it if you ask? Besides, you always know the phone number of my street office, right? You were able to contact Wang Yuling but you didn’t contact me? This is not a matter of being contacted but not being contacted at all. You have no intention of inviting me at all, and it's useless even if you try to convince me.

There were a total of twenty tables in the hall, and the entire restaurant seemed to be booked.

Wang Yuling stayed with Dong Xuebin for a while, and then ran to accompany the bride. At this time, Dong Xuebin also saw a familiar figure, smiled slightly, and walked up.

"Director Pan? Long time no see."

"Oh, it's Director Dong, no, it's time to call Director Dong now."

The two shook hands and talked with a smile.

The person in front of him is Pan Zhengyi, director of the Nanshan District Investment Promotion Bureau. Dong Xuebin met him when he went to hold an investment promotion meeting a while ago, but they did not have an in-depth discussion because he knew that Pan Zhou, director of the Dafeng County Investment Promotion Bureau, was his cousin. Pan Zhou, who robbed their investment in Yantai County, was hired by Dong Xuebin and is now dismissed from his job. Dong Xuebin believes that even though Pan Zhengyi doesn’t show anything on his face, he may not have a good impression of him in his heart. As for Pan Zhengyi, It's not that he hates himself, Dong Xuebin doesn't know for the time being.

There was a commotion and the wedding banquet finally started.

The wedding officiant presided over the ceremony on the rostrum, and various dishes were served by the waiters.

After Chu Qinghua finished his work, he immediately came over to greet Pan Zhengyi and other street office cadres and district cadres. Dong Xuebin was also invited to the main table closest to the rostrum. The people at this table were all practical leaders above the scientific level. , with the exception of Wang Yuling, although her rank is not high, she is the niece of the district committee, so she was also invited here by Chu Qinghua. Inside, Dong Xuebin knew Pan Zhengyi and Wang Yuling, and the rest of the people were very familiar to each other. They didn't talk much. They were polite and said nothing more. The food and wine were all served, and many people at the twenty tables in the restaurant were moved. Got chopsticks.

The wedding banquet was not small, but it was not too big either. It was just compared with ordinary people's wedding banquets. Compared with the wedding banquets of cadres at the same level, what Chu Qinghua arranged for his son was already very low-key.

The first car was a Mercedes-Benz, and the restaurant was of average reputation, so it really didn’t matter.

In the system, there are still very few cadres like Dong Xuebin who are fearless and fearless. You can count them on your fingers. However, most of the other cadres are very strict about rules and are afraid of bad influence and fear of someone chewing their tongues, so they Try to keep it as low-key as possible. Some leaders who are too scrupulous don't even hold wedding banquets for their children. They just need to get a marriage certificate. They are afraid that the happy event will turn into disaster. This is why Chu Qinghua did not choose to hold the wedding banquet on the weekend, but on the working day. , when you reach this level, you will have more and more worries.

At the end of the ceremony, everyone applauded and congratulated.

Next, the bride and groom began to toast, and the first person to go to the table was the leader.

Dong Xuebin also put down his chopsticks, raised his glass to drink, and simply said congratulations. Wang Yuling was very active, joking around with the bride, and the two seemed to have a good relationship.

"Yuling, please stop making trouble."

"Hehe, it's okay if you don't make a fuss. Then I'll make a fuss in your cave at night."

Just as he was talking, a family member of the groom hurried in from outside and said, "District Chief Yuehua and Mrs. Yan are here."

There's another chapter coming soon. RO
