The luncheon was the main event, while the dinner was much simpler.
At this time, those who attended the dinner were all close friends.
There were more than a hundred tables of guests at noon, but there were only thirty tables left in the evening.
Even so, they kept entertaining guests, drinking, chatting, and going back and forth …
In the end, they had to go out and send people away.
It was already past eight o 'clock when they were done.
At this time, Li Dong felt that all his bones were broken.
Looking at the dozens of people who were still around, Li Dong said weakly, "Are you still waiting for the wedding night? In my current state, if I don't do it, I'll be half dead. "
Hsu Shengzhe laughed and said, "It doesn't matter if I do it or not, but I heard that you want to talk to Ms. Wu alone …"
"Don't talk to me about business. My head is full of mush now. Let's not talk business in June. I still have to go on my honeymoon. Don't talk to me about this. "
"Really?"
Hsu Shengzhe was slightly surprised and said, "You're going on a honeymoon?"
"Nonsense, can't I? I, Li Dong, have plenty of money. Is it against the law to go on a honeymoon? If there's nothing else, get lost. I'll accept it if someone else gives me a calligraphy. What's wrong with you? What did I give you when you got married? An authentic Hetian jade. It's such a big piece, and I'm still waiting to get it back. But you gave me a calligraphy. Don't you feel ashamed? "
Hsu Shengzhe was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said angrily after a while, "Don't give it back to me! You bastard, when I gave it to you, it hurt for a long time! Do you know whose calligraphy it is? Five years ago, Mi Fu's semi-cursive was auctioned for more than 5 million. Now it's more than 10 million! "
"Really? You're not lying to me? " Li Dong said subconsciously. When he saw Hsu Shengzhe's nose was almost smoking, Li Dong suddenly laughed and said, "I'm just kidding. Who cares about money? It's fine if you give me calligraphy. It's good. It doesn't matter whether it's money or not. Coincidentally, I want to practice calligraphy recently, and you just happened to give me one. It's quite suitable for me. "
"…"
Hsu Shengzhe was too lazy to talk. He looked at the time and snorted. "I'm leaving. In short, it's your freedom to cooperate with Longhu. I can't control it. But you have to remember that you are the biggest shareholder of Longhua. You own 20% of the shares! If Long Hu can pay this price, I'll accept whatever you do. But don't treat me differently just because I'm a woman … "
"Is there something wrong with your eyes? How old is Sis Wu? She's only a few years younger than my mother. Do you think I'm interested in someone else's looks? "
"Who knows what your taste is …"
Hsu Shengzhe mumbled. He didn't want to talk about this anymore. He bade farewell and left in advance.
At this moment, the only people left in the hall were the juniors from both sides.
These people were obviously not going to leave.
Li Dong ignored them. The groomsmen and bridesmaids were still there. Everyone had been busy the whole day, so he had to greet them.
…
When Li Dong went to greet the last group of guests tonight, Shen Qian was already there.
When Li Dong arrived, Sun Tao stood up and said, "You don't have to entertain us tonight. You've been busy the whole day. Go to bed early …"
Li Dong smiled. "They are easy to deal with. Whether it's Wang Junyu or Liu Hong, I know them and have met them a few times. Brother Sun, you're the most secretive. It's my first time meeting your sister-in-law. There were too many people before, so we didn't have a chance to chat. Now that everyone has left, let's chat for a while. We're not in a hurry to consummate our marriage. Anyway, we have a baby … "
Hearing this, even though Shen Qian was a cheerful person, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. This guy's words were really annoying recently.
Sun Tao couldn't help but laugh. Sitting beside him was a long-haired woman. She looked to be about 27 or 28 years old. At this moment, she stood up with a gentle smile on her face.
When she heard Li Dong mention her, the woman's words matched her looks. She wasn't the delicate kind, but rather gentle. With a smile, she said, "Hello, General Manager Li."
Sun Tao introduced, "Liu Hui, hotel management."
Li Dong glanced at Liu Hui when he heard that. The hotel management that Sun Tao mentioned was usually not a low-level position, nor would it be a low-level hotel.
Liu Hui looked young and weak. He didn't know if it was because she was capable or because her family background was good.
Li Dong didn't ask in detail. He sat down and chatted with everyone for a while. After chatting for a while, Li Dong roughly understood why Sun Tao had taken a fancy to Liu Hui.
Liu Hui didn't speak much, but every word she said was very nurturing. Perhaps it had something to do with her profession, she spoke softly, which made people subconsciously have a good impression of her.
When the others spoke, Liu Hui would listen quietly, making people feel that she was paying attention to what they were saying.
This kind of woman was very suitable to subdue an old bachelor like Sun Tao.
Li Dong didn't ask further. However, before he left, when he sent Sun Tao and the others out, Li Dong still asked, "How did you know each other?"
"I met him at Qingmu Academy."
Li Dong understood. Sun Tao was usually busy. He had signed up for an advanced course, so he was probably a little more free at this time.
He got to know someone there, talked for a period of time, and began to get engaged. The speed was not considered slow.
As for the women in the advanced course, Li Dong didn't know how to judge them. Some of them were really there to improve their abilities, while others were there to network.
As for the last group, they were there to hook up with a rich husband.
Sun Tao could be considered a diamond bachelor. He had 3% of the shares in Far away Retail, and his net worth was more than 10 figures!
The outside world might not know about this, but after entering the advanced course, one could ask around a little. Far away Retail had acquaintances, so it was easy to find out.
Li Dong was sure that when Sun Tao went for advanced courses, there would be many women who had designs on him.
He just didn't know if Liu Hui was one of them.
Of course, Sun Tao wasn't an idiot. If he was, he wouldn't have become the Vice President of Carrefour Pingchuan, and he wouldn't have reached this stage Far Away Retail.
As long as there was no problem with the two of them, one was willing to take the beating, and the other was willing to take the beating. It wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
Sun Tao probably knew what Li Dong was thinking. Seeing Liu Hui chatting softly with others in front of him, he smiled and said, "We're not in the same advanced course. It's a coincidence that we know each other.
Coincidentally, the other party is from Pingchuan. We met when we were eating and chatted for a while.
After that, we got to know each other. After a while, we got to the point of talking about marriage.
I know she's a little narrow-minded, but if I'm really stupid, I might ruin my family business in the future.
It wasn't easy for me to get to where I am now with you. It's considered God's favor, and I've accumulated more wealth than I could imagine in my entire life.
It's better to find a smart wife than a stupid one. "
Li Dong smiled and said, "It's fine as long as you think it's suitable. I won't express my opinion.
Remember to inform me in advance when you get married.
Also, after this wedding, you'll have to go to Shanghai again. If you think that you can have some spare time after work, you can date however you want. I won't say anything about this.
But there's a prerequisite, which is to do your job well.
Far away Retail is digesting the fruits of victory, and it needs time.
During this time, you can't be idle either. You have to prepare for the next digestion.
I won't say anything else. You're going to be in your forties soon. It's necessary to settle your marriage before you're forty.
If you don't get married, you'll never understand the feeling of having a small family to take care of … "
Sun Tao was speechless. I'm almost forty. Is it appropriate for you to teach me this?
You're married, yes, but today is only the first day. You speak as if you've been married for many years.
After showing off for a while, Li Dong couldn't really drag it out too late. He chatted at the entrance of the manor for a while before sending everyone to the car.
After they left, the remaining people were the family members of both sides.
At this time, be it Li Dong, Shen Qian, or their parents, everyone was exhausted.
Du Anmin didn't need to entertain too many people. However, he didn't sleep last night, and today was a tiring day.
Among the four of them, Du Anmin was the oldest. He was over sixty.
At this time, Old Du was really exhausted.
Seeing the fatigue in his eyes, Li Dong hurriedly said, "Father-in-law, you should go back and rest early."
The word "Father-in-law" sounded more awkward to Du Anmin than "Dad".
However, he couldn't be bothered to correct Li Dong. He glanced at his daughter, who was looking at him with concern in her eyes, and said with some relief, "It's okay. No matter how tired I am today, I'm still happy. Qianqian, accompany Brother Li and the rest for a while. I'll have a chat with Li Dong. "
Shen Qian responded. Things were different now. In the past, she would specially remind Du Anmin not to bully Li Dong.
Now that Li Dong was Old Du's legitimate son-in-law, he could bully him if he wanted. There was no need to remind him.
…
Shen Qian accompanied Li Dong's parents to the side, and Shen Xuehua also followed.
When only the two of them were left, Du Anmin took out a cigarette, probably because he was mentally exhausted. He looked at Li Dong and asked, "Do you want one?"
"No."
"Well, I wasn't planning to give it to you. Qianqian is pregnant. You have already quit what you should."
Hearing this, Li Dong realized that Old Du could be childish at times.
Du Anmin didn't care what he thought. He lit his cigarette and took a puff. He was not as tired as before, and then said, "I didn't expect a wedding of this scale. I didn't even think that I would one day attend a wedding of this scale, and it's my daughter's wedding. "
When he said that he didn't expect it, it wasn't that he couldn't do it, but that he couldn't.
Old Du's daughter was getting married. Even if it was a wedding, it had to be low-key. Eight to ten tables was already the limit.
But this time, there were more than a hundred tables of guests, and hundreds of business tycoons from both home and abroad were present.
Such a scale was indeed something Du Anmin didn't dare to imagine in the past.
He had his reservations, but Li Dong didn't.
When Shen Qian married someone else, outsiders saw Du Anmin.
When Shen Qian married Li Dong, outsiders saw Li Dong and not Du Anmin. This was the difference.
With this difference, Shen Qian had the chance to hold such a wedding. For a woman, this would not leave any regrets.
Old Du hoped that his daughter could live a good life in all aspects. Since Li Dong could give him something he couldn't, Du Anmin was naturally very satisfied.
Seeing that he was happy, Li Dong smiled and said, "This is what I should do. Actually, it was a little rushed this time. Otherwise, it could have been bigger … "
"No, it's good now. It's the same even if it's bigger. Today's scale is not too extravagant, and it won't embarrass you. It also gives Qianqian face. That's enough. "
Du Anmin didn't continue on this topic. He continued, "Actually, what I'm most satisfied with is not the wedding, but what you said.
To be honest, even I didn't expect you to say this at this time.
I can see that Qianqian is also very happy. She is happy, but as her father, I am happier than her.
Li Dong, I don't have high expectations of you.
No matter what you think, no matter what other thoughts you have, I won't care about your personal affairs.
But there's one thing you must do! "
When Du Anmin said this, his expression was a little serious.
Li Dong also hurriedly said with a serious expression, "Please speak."
"I don't care what you do outside. Private affairs are private affairs. Don't try to make everything public.
Doing so would only make things difficult for everyone!
I don't care about face, I don't care about anything, but Qianqian can't!
Since you've chosen to marry Qianqian, it means that you've made your own choice. At this time, you should be mentally prepared.
From a father's point of view, no one wants their daughter to be hurt. I'm the same.
Of course, from the point of view of others, they are also fathers and mothers. They don't want their daughter to be hurt either.
But people are selfish. Between outsiders and family, I can only choose my family.
And all of this is your own mistake, so you need to bear all of it yourself.
Maybe as time passes, as you have your own children, you'll be able to understand how I feel right now.
Li Dong, you should understand what I'm saying.
That's all I have to say. I'm leaving tomorrow morning. From now on, I'll leave Qianqian to you.
After all, I can't leave often. Moreover, Qianqian's mother and I are old. We can't take care of Qianqian for the rest of our lives.
After all, the rest of her life is still in your hands.
I do not like to use some coercive tone to tell you what to do, let you do what, this is your day, not ours.
But I still hope that you can understand how a father feels … "
Li Dong was a little ashamed and said awkwardly, "Dad, I understand what you said. It's my fault. I … I don't know how to say it, but don't worry, I won't let Qianqian get hurt … "
"I hope so."
Du Anmin sighed softly. In fact, you're already hurting her.
But before the marriage, Shen Qian had already prepared for this. This was his daughter's choice. He could only guide her, but not interfere too much.
If it were someone else, Du Anmin might say something more forceful.
But after all, Li Dong was not an ordinary person. The more forceful his words, the worse it might be in the end.
Now, the only thing Du Anmin could do was to remind Li Dong a few words. He couldn't get too deeply involved, lest it caused more trouble in the end.
The conversation between father and son-in-law ended here.
And the wedding also entered the final procedure, the wedding night.
The elders and parents of both sides didn't participate. A group of young people surrounded Li Dong and Shen Qian and rushed to the East Garden.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
