At 12: 08, the ceremony officially began.
The newlyweds entered, the parents gave a speech, and the rings were exchanged …
After a series of procedures, the next step was the bride and groom's toast. Li Dong as the best man was naturally indispensable.
There were some people on the scene that Wang Jie and his family didn't know, but Li Dong was very familiar with them.
He saw Lv Zhangping. Lv Zhangping was a bit low-key, sitting at a table on the side. Besides Lv Zhangping, Li Dong knew another person.
The director of Dongping Public Security Bureau, surnamed Niu, but his specific name was Li Dong.
Director Niu and Lv Zhangping chatted in a low voice. When Wang Jie and the others toasted to this table, Lv Zhangping and the others drank a big glass of wine.
Li Dong smiled and nodded to them. This was not the time to talk.
Then the crowd moved to the next table. Halfway through, Wang Jie asked, "That person looked familiar, is he your friend?"
"Dongping's official, I didn't expect him to come."
Wang Jie froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "Today, my face is very high. Does it affect you?"
"It's okay. Favor is favor, business is business. Do you think I will do a losing business?"
"That's good." Wang Jie smiled and didn't speak again. He continued to toast.
At the last table, Li Dong finally saw Yuan Xue and Chen Yue.
Wu Mei knew Yuan Xue. She and Yuan Xue had dinner before. She knew that she was Li Dong and Wang Jie's classmate, but she really didn't know Chen Yue.
After Wang Jie introduced her, Wu Mei knew Chen Yue. She had actually heard the name.
But now she and Wang Jie were married. Ex-girlfriend is ex-girlfriend, first love is first love. How many people can be faithful in their life? First love doesn't necessarily have to enter the marriage hall.
Wu Mei was open-minded. When she toasted with Chen Yue, she was generous, without the slightest restraint or dissatisfaction.
Chen Yue originally wanted to say a few words, but in the end, she said, "I wish you a hundred years of happiness!"
Wu Mei and Wang Jie thanked him, and then there was no more communication.
This was the last table. After the toast, there was nothing left for Li Dong to do. After drinking for the first round, although most of the drinks were water, Li Dong still drank quite a lot of wine.
While Wang Jie went to change clothes, Li Dong sat down next to Yuan Xue.
After drinking, Li Dong's face was a little red as he smiled with his eyes squinted. "Why didn't you pick up my phone last night?"
Yuan Xue glanced at him. She was still angry about what happened last night. She snorted and said, "Why would I answer your call? I blocked you, so I won't be able to answer your calls in the future."
Li Dong smiled and didn't answer. "Did you wear the necklace?"
"No!"
"Really?"
"Really!"
Li Dong didn't ask anymore. He got up and said, "Call me if there's anything. Some things are just a matter of time. I still have a long life. I think I can live to 99, and there are still 70 or 80 years left. Take your time."
After that, Li Dong laughed and went to the bathroom, shaking his head.
Yuan Xue frowned and stared at Li Dong's back without saying a word.
When he went far away, Chen Yue said, "Since you can't bear to part with her, why are you still hesitating?"
Yuan Xue shook her head and didn't speak.
Chen Yue smiled again and said, "Worried about Qin Yuhan? Is it necessary? "
"Life is a process of constant choice. Both men and women are unmarried. Why are you hesitating? Happiness is fought for by yourself. No one says that you should be faithful to one person, and no one says that first love is forever. Qin Yuhan is Li Dong's first love. Do you think they can go to the end? You saw today's wedding. The groom is Wang Jie, but who is the bride? Some things have to be fought for by yourself. You're waiting for God to throw a rich husband into your arms. The hope is slim. It's just a waste of time. "
Chen Yue chuckled and suddenly pulled out the diamond necklace from Yuan Xue's neck.
Chen Yue looked at the necklace and her eyes flashed. Then she said, "This is a gift from Li Dong, right? He's a big boss and doesn't lack money. The diamond must be real. You know how much such a big diamond is worth. If he wasn't interested in you, would he give you a necklace?
There was no need to be pretentious. How many men in the world could be more outstanding than Li Dong?
If he didn't like me, I would have chased after him. Xiaoxue, think about it. Worried about what others think?
Can an outsider give you happiness? Can an outsider let you live the life of an upper-class person without having to worry about food and drink?
What should you choose?
Rich, powerful, capable, good-looking, young, and with a strong emotional foundation …
I've counted. Li Dong seems to meet all the requirements except that he's not handsome. In this case, don't you waver? What are you thinking? "
Yuan Xue blurted out, "Li Dong is actually quite handsome."
"Haha!"
Chen Yue couldn't help laughing for a while. Then she coughed and said, "Well, I said you're pretentious. Now you've exposed yourself. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Since he's also handsome, is he the perfect husband in your mind? He's already like this, and you're still watching him go further and further away? "
"But …"
"But what? But you're uglier than Qin Yuhan? Or are you not as good as her in some way? Yes, she had talked to Li Dong, but was such a thing rare? So what if he has a girlfriend? I've said that he's unmarried and she's not married. It's no big deal. "
Yuan Xue was silent for a while and didn't speak again. But Chen Yue saw her eyes and knew that her best friend must be struggling in her heart at this moment.
Chen Yue didn't try to persuade her again. Some things ultimately depended on themselves. It was useless for others to say more.
…
Wang Jie's wedding was perfect.
At least in the eyes of Wang Jie and Wu Mei, such a wedding was perfect enough.
In a small county like Dongping, there was Li Dong as his best man, the county magistrate as his guest, and a lot of rich people in Dongping to celebrate with him. There was nothing to regret.
Wang Jie didn't care about the communication between Li Dong and Lv Zhangping. He knew that he wasn't at that level. Even if he asked and Li Dong told him, he wouldn't be able to change anything.
In the evening, Wang Jie, Wu Mei, and their parents counted the gifts during the day.
In the end, Wang Jie's parents were a little scared. They thought that the gifts were about 200,000 yuan, which made them a little scared.
But when they finished counting, they realized that they underestimated the influence of Li Dong.
In the end, the gifts were far more than 200,000 yuan. It was close to 400,000 yuan. For Wang Jie's parents, this amount of money was simply an astronomical figure.
Wang Jie threw the gift list aside. He frowned and didn't speak. Then he searched the gift list again.
Wu Mei whispered, "What's wrong?"
Wang Jie didn't say anything and continued to search. After a while, he asked his parents, "Did Dongzi give you anything?"
Wang Jie's parents thought about it and then shook their heads.
Wu Mei said cautiously, "When General Manager Li went to the hotel in the evening, he gave me a paper bag and asked me to give it to you when I came back. I almost forgot about it."
"Give it to me."
Wu Mei quickly took a paper bag from the bedside table and gave it to Wang Jie. Wang Jie opened it and took a look. Then he shook his head and smiled bitterly. "I knew that this guy wouldn't be empty-handed. There was no movement before. I suspected that he was up to something, and I really guessed it."
Wang Jie's mother quickly said, "What is this?"
"Proof of picking up a car. Take this to the car shop and you can pick up a Buick Regal."
"Car?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment. Then they couldn't help but sigh. Li Dong's way of doing things was really watertight.
Wang Jie had a house and a start-up capital for his business. What he lacked now seemed to be a car.
Buick Regal wasn't a luxury car, but it wasn't bad either. It was a high-grade car in Dongping. It wasn't shameful to drive it out. It could be seen everywhere.
And the price wasn't expensive. If it was a good car, Wang Jie wouldn't necessarily accept it.
But for a car worth about 200,000 yuan, although Wang Jie would hesitate, he would eventually accept it. Because this time, he had received so much gift money. If he returned the car, it would seem a bit unreasonable.
Wang Jie didn't say anything and put away the paper bag.
Then he said to his parents, "Dad, mom, I won't give you the money. I need it next. This time, Dongzi helped me. If I can't get a result, I won't have the face to see him in the future. Everything was going smoothly for him now, but people would always encounter setbacks. He can help me when I am down. I don't want him to suffer in the future. I can only look at him but can't help him. "
Wang Jie's parents quickly said, "That's true. Little Jie, although we are uneducated, we still understand the truth of gratitude. You take the money and do some reliable business. Dad and mom can't help you. You have a benefactor to help you. Don't waste his painstaking efforts. "
"I understand."
Wang Jie nodded. He didn't say anything more. But he made up his mind. If he couldn't get a name this time, he would go back and work for Dongzi.
Even if he couldn't help him, at least he would let Dongzi have a trustworthy person in the company.
… …
Li Dong didn't care about Wang Jie's thoughts.
He didn't have many friends in this life. Wang Jie was one, and Fatty was another.
Li Dong didn't expect them to live a free and easy life. At least, he hoped that they wouldn't have to bow down for money.
If he could help, he was willing to help. As long as he wasn't like Li Nanming, money was nothing to Li Dong.
No matter how much money Li Dong earned, how much could he really use?
At his level, there weren't many friends that he could really talk to. There weren't many friends that he could drink with.
Being too young and suddenly reaching a high position, sometimes it was quite lonely.
And hiding a secret in his heart that he couldn't tell others was even more lonely.
In the hotel room, Li Dong saw the news of the day. June 3 air disaster. A military plane crashed. All the people on the plane died.
Two generals and dozens of high-end technical talents died. This was a heavy loss for Hua Xia. It also broke dozens of families.
Did Li Dong know?
He knew!
The military plane crash happened in Jiangbei. It happened in Qingyang County. Li Dong knew it in his previous life.
But he didn't dare to say it, and he couldn't say it.
This was a confidential mission in the military. Even if he knew about it, he wouldn't dare to say it.
This was even more terrifying than predicting a big earthquake because the things involved were too high-level.
Li Dong could guarantee that if he revealed it in advance, what awaited him wouldn't be praise and praise. He would definitely be charged with spying on military secrets.
If he was not careful, he would be treated as a spy. Li Dong was afraid of death, so he didn't dare to mention it. He also never revealed it to anyone.
Did he feel good?
Not good!
Sometimes, watching so many people die in front of his eyes was really hard to bear. He knew that one word from him could change the fate of dozens of families, but in the end, he could only watch them die. Li Dong felt really aggrieved.
Suppressing the depression in his heart, Li Dong turned off the news.
This was the first time since his rebirth that he predicted a disaster. But he couldn't do anything to change it.
He didn't know about the mountain torrent in Monkey Head Mountain, so he didn't feel guilty because he couldn't change anything.
But this time, he could change the result of the air disaster. But Li Dong didn't.
Thinking about the disaster in 2008, Li Dong felt even more depressed. Sometimes, being able to predict the future was really a kind of torture.
That night, Li Dong didn't sleep well. In his dreams, the scene of the military plane crash kept appearing in his mind, accompanied by the unrecognizable corpses. They all looked at Li Dong silently.
