The wedding banquet was nothing more than eating, drinking and chatting.
Li Dong didn't have many young friends. Cao Feng and Lin Meng were the same.
Because there were fewer young people, the wedding banquet was naturally less lively.
Although it wasn't very lively, everyone was not disappointed.
When the host invited Li Dong to say a few words on the stage, the applause was particularly loud.
Chairman of Faraway Group, Chairman of the Distance Charitable Fund Association, Chairman of the Jiangbei Mutual Aid Association …
A series of titles added a bit of glory to Li Dong, who was in the center of the crowd.
Standing on the stage, Li Dong picked up the microphone and said with a smile, "Today is the wedding of my cousin and sister-in-law. First of all, I want to wish them a happy marriage and have a son soon …"
The wedding was not like a press conference. Li Dong talked nonsense.
This was a major event in life. Li Dong naturally had a sense of propriety.
After saying a few words, Li Dong was ready to step down. He went on the stage just to support Cao Feng and his wife. As for what he said, it was not important.
He was about to step down when the wedding host smiled and said, "Mr. Li, please wait."
Li Dong looked at him with some doubts. The host smiled and said, "Since you are on the stage, I can't let you go just like that. When the bride throws the bouquet, Mr. Li will also join in the fun. "
Li Dong laughed and said, "I'm a man. Isn't this a woman's job?"
The host smiled and said, "It's just to join in the fun and to celebrate. How about this, if Mr. Li doesn't want to grab the bouquet, it doesn't matter. Whoever grabs the bouquet later, can you take a photo with the lady who grabs the bouquet? "
If it was someone else's wedding, Li Dong would not be interested in joining in the fun.
But this was his cousin's wedding. Li Dong smiled and nodded. "Of course, that's no problem. I just need to be a human sculpture, right?"
The host saw that he was humorous and quickly nodded with a smile.
The other people on the stage also laughed. After laughing for a while, the host began to say, "Unmarried ladies on the stage, hurry up and come on stage. Opportunities are always left for those who are prepared. Perhaps in a few months, we will be able to drink the wedding wine again! "
Although the host didn't make it too explicit, everyone understood what he meant.
The chances of getting Li Dong by snatching a flower ball weren't high, but no one could say for sure when it came to first sight.
Love at first sight was not only a legend, but also a reality.
If you don't go on stage, maybe Li Dong will never know who you are.
But now that you've come up, this is an opportunity.
At the very least, with so many people present, Li Dong will see you and know that you are unmarried. This is a chance to win the lottery.
If you don't buy lottery tickets, you'll never win.
If he bought it, his chances might be infinitesimally small, but at least he would have a chance of winning the top prize.
If she could grab a bouquet and take a photo with Li Dong, even if he didn't pay attention to her, he wouldn't completely ignore her when they were alone together.
As a result, when the host's voice fell, there were more than a dozen gorgeously dressed girls on the stage in a moment.
Most of these girls were Lin Meng's colleagues and friends. Lin Meng used to be an insurance company, and there were not only aunties in the insurance company, but also young girls.
In the crowd, there were a few people who stood out, and the gap between them and the people next to them could be seen at a glance.
Li Dong, who was standing on the side, felt a headache at the moment. Why did these girls also join in the fun?
Shen Qian, Qin Yuhan, and Hu Xiaorui were all on stage. Li Dong wasn't surprised that Hu Xiaorui was on stage. This girl liked to join in the fun.
But if Shen Qian and Qin Yuhan said that they were here to join in the fun, Li Dong wouldn't believe it.
Whether he believed it or not, they were on stage, and he couldn't drive them away.
When the girls on the stage stood in two rows, the host nodded to Lin Meng.
At this time, Lin Meng also looked nervous. There were some things that she knew more than the careless Cao Feng.
She didn't know the relationship between Li Dong and others, but she knew the relationship between him and Qin Yuhan and Shen Qian.
Not to mention Qin Yuhan, as for Shen Qian, Li Dong had also taken her to the Dongfang Fishing Village for dinner.
They even went there hand in hand once, and there was not much taboo.
Now these two girls were eyeing the stage to grab the flower ball, but one stood on the left and the other on the right. Where should she throw it?
Just when she was in a dilemma, someone behind her suddenly shouted with a smile, "Cousin-in-law, throw it to me. I'm here!"
Although Lin Meng and Hu Xiaorui didn't know each other and had just met each other once, at this moment, Lin Meng seemed to see a savior.
As soon as Hu Xiaorui finished speaking, Lin Meng said with a smile, "Then you have to catch it. Don't blame Cousin-in-law if it's robbed."
If she said this to others at this time, they might be a little unhappy. After all, this time it was not just to grab the flower ball, but mainly to get to know Li Dong.
But Hu Xiaorui looked innocent and lively, and many people knew that she was the daughter of another big boss, so many people were less jealous.
Even the two girls standing next to Hu Xiaorui laughed and said, "Don't worry. Xiaomeng will throw it to us later. We will help you stop others."
Hu Xiaorui smiled and said, "Really? That's great. I haven't grabbed a bride's flower ball yet. It's really fun. Thank you. "
While they were talking, Lin Meng also made up her mind. She looked back at Hu Xiaorui's position, turned her back and threw the flower ball in the area where she remembered Hu Xiaorui was.
…
There was always a gap between the result and imagination.
When Lin Meng turned around, a cold sweat suddenly appeared on her back.
Hu Xiaorui, who caught the flower ball, looked at Qin Yuhan and Shen Qian with a sad face and said pitifully, "Sister Yuhan, Shen Bing … Sister Shen, I got it first."
Shen Qian grabbed the top of the flower ball and glanced at Qin Yuhan. After a while, she smiled and said, "Since Xiaorui likes it, I won't compete with you."
After saying that, Shen Qian put down her hand, chuckled and went directly off the stage.
Seeing her leave, Qin Yuhan looked at Hu Xiaorui again. Seeing the girl's innocent face and a little grievance in her eyes, she paused and said with a smile, "I helped you grab it. Xiaorui, you have to treat me to dinner later."
Hu Xiaorui nodded with a smile and said, "Of course I will treat you to dinner."
"Then I'll go down first. Let's talk later."
Qin Yuhan said with a smile and looked at Li Dong, who was looking up at the sky not far away. She smiled slightly and then turned to go down the stage.
The other girls also went down the stage because they didn't get it.
Seeing that everyone had left, Hu Xiaorui happily took the flower ball and went to Li Dong's side and said to the cameraman, "Brother, take a picture of us. Make it beautiful!"
Hu Xiaorui said and smiled at Li Dong, "Li Dong, lower your head a little, yes, lower a little …"
"Smile happily. En, put your hand on my shoulder. Why are you hiding so far away …"
Li Dong smiled bitterly and glanced at Qin Yuhan and Shen Qian below the stage. The two women were looking at him with a very strange look. At this moment, Li Dong felt that he was the sinner in their eyes.
Looking at Hu Xiaorui who was in high spirits, Li Dong secretly rejoiced. Although this girl was difficult to deal with, it was better than being grabbed by the two women.
It's just taking a picture. Li Dong secretly complained that all of them were so free. Usually, they could take whatever they wanted, but they just had to snatch it at this time.
Just as he was thinking about it, the photo shoot was finally over.
After taking the photo, Li Dong hurriedly prepared to go down the stage. Hu Xiaorui smiled and said, "Li Dong, the flower ball is for you. Remember to keep it well. I will check it!"
Li Dong didn't want to take it, but seeing the girl's naive face, he finally took it and said embarrassedly, "I'm afraid that it will wither later."
"It's okay. You can keep it as a specimen."
"Let's talk about it later."
Li Dong perfunctorily said. He felt a murderous aura around him and hurriedly left the stage.
…
For Cao Feng's wedding, Li Dong's life was more difficult than Cao Feng's.
Fortunately, no matter how difficult it was, the wedding would end.
At around two o 'clock, the guests gradually dispersed.
Qin Yuhan and Shen Qian didn't give Li Dong any more trouble. Once the wedding was over, Qin Yuhan left with the couple.
Shen Qian didn't stay for long. When she passed by Li Dong, she said that the renovation of the house in the Provincial Party Committee Compound was done and quickly left.
After the two of them left, Hu Xiaorui was unwilling to leave.
Because they still wanted to make a scene in the bridal chamber at night, this girl insisted on going to the bridal chamber.
Even though Hu Ming lectured her, seeing that his daughter insisted, Hu Ming had no choice. In the end, he could only look for Li Dong and said, "General Manager Li, Xiaorui has caused trouble for you again. You see, I still have something to deal with here. Why don't you let Xiaorui join in the fun?"
Since Hu Ming said so, what else could Li Dong say?
Besides, even if Hu Ming didn't say anything, if Hu Xiaorui insisted on going, how could he stop her?
Li Dong nodded. Hu Ming heaved a sigh of relief and said, "General Manager Li, don't forget about the dinner tomorrow night. I won't disturb you anymore. See you tomorrow."
"See you, Boss Hu."
"Don't bother me. General Manager Li, you can continue with your work. I can go by myself."
Hu Ming said politely, waved his hand, and left quickly.
After that, Li Dong saw off some important guests. After everyone left, Li Dong and Hu Xiaorui rushed to the bridal chamber.
The bridal chamber Cao Feng had chosen was a gift from Li Dong. He didn't choose any other place but Wanyuan District.
Cao Feng rented a house here before, and Li Dong also lived here. He and Lin Meng finally decided to continue living here.
The house was new, and there were still some vacant houses in Wanyuan Phase II that hadn't been sold.
The bridal chamber wasn't far from Li Dong's house. When they arrived at the bridal chamber, Hu Xiaorui went to the room with others to join in the fun. Li Dong took the time to go to the balcony and let out a sigh of relief.
After standing on the balcony for a while, Cao Feng came over.
Li Dong smiled and said, "How do you feel?"
Cao Feng took a few deep breaths. He first shook his head, then nodded and smiled, "Except for being a little nervous, I feel good now. I used to think that I was just a passerby. Now that I have a home, I suddenly feel a lot more at ease. "
"It's good that you are at ease. Isn't that what we want in life?"
Cao Feng laughed and handed a cigarette to Li Dong.
Li Dong waved his hand and said, "It's a bridal chamber. I don't want to smoke."
"Go ahead. It's okay. The smell will disperse in a while."
"Be careful that your sister-in-law will teach you a lesson later." Li Dong joked.
Cao Feng smiled and said, "I won't. Xiaomeng said that I will be in charge of our family in the future."
Li Dong immediately laughed out loud. This cousin of his was so honest and cute at times.
Li Dong didn't argue anymore. In fact, after holding back for a day, he also wanted to smoke to relax.
After lighting the cigarette and taking a few puffs, Cao Feng said his purpose.
There were a lot of guests today, and most of them were guests invited by Li Dong.
In addition, the one who got married was Li Dong's cousin. Compared with Wang Jie's marriage, this relationship was one step closer. The people who came were not stingy.
Not to mention others, just Hu Ming's casual gift was 888,888 yuan.
Hu Ming was not the only one who gave this number. Just these red envelopes alone were five or six hundred thousand yuan.
Others like Shen Qian and Qin Hai also gave more than ten thousand yuan. In the end, a simple calculation showed that just the gift money alone was close to a million yuan.
In 2007, one million yuan could buy three apartments in Pingchuan City.
This was not a small number. Cao Feng didn't dare to make the decision himself, so he looked for Li Dong and let him handle the money.
When he finished speaking, Li Dong chuckled and said, "Take it yourself."
Seeing Cao Feng shake his head, Li Dong waved his hand and said, "Do you think a million yuan is a big deal to us? You know the stock market best. I earn more than that in a day. Also, you have been busy there for more than half a year. You can take this money and feel at ease. When Tang Kuan and the rest wait for me to withdraw from the market, I'm afraid the money will not be less than a million yuan. Your effort is no less than theirs. If I give you the money directly, you definitely won't accept it. Now that you are getting married, I didn't give you any red envelopes. These gifts are also given by others. Just treat it as me presenting the Buddha with borrowed flowers. It can also save me some expenses. "
Although that was what Li Dong said, Cao Feng knew that this was not the case.
Since he had received gifts from others, he had to return the gifts.
But he didn't even know the names of those people who came today. How could he return the gifts?
In the end, it would be Li Dong who paid for the gifts. So in the end, the money was still Li Dong's.
As for Li Dong himself, he didn't give any red envelopes. Don't forget that the apartment was here.
Wanyuan Phase Two's property prices were rising. Although his apartment was smaller than Li Dong's, it was not much smaller.
Although Cao Feng didn't know the specific price, the house and renovations were definitely not less than one million yuan.
In this day and age, no matter how rich a relative was, it was still the relative's money.
Cao Feng knew what kind of person he was. He didn't have that much value to Li Dong.
Looking deeply at Li Dong, Cao Feng suddenly felt a little emotional. Although his cousin sometimes looked unreasonable and seemed a little out of place with everyone, he was actually cold on the outside and warm on the inside.
As long as you treated him well, he would treat you a hundred times better.
When he made up his mind to come to Jiangbei to make a living, he never thought that he would be where he was today.
A million-yuan apartment, a million-yuan savings, a beautiful wife, this was what life was like.
And all of this was given by Li Dong.
Money aside, if it wasn't for Li Dong, he might not have been able to marry Lin Meng.
It wasn't that he thought that Lin Meng was unscrupulous. But when he thought about it from the bottom of his heart, if it wasn't for Li Dong, he would at most be a small security guard. Would a beautiful woman like Lin Meng, who was experienced and knowledgeable, fall for him?
Seeing Li Dong leaning on the windowsill and smoking, Cao Feng didn't say anything. But in his heart, he was thinking about something.
