The day of the signing had arrived. Although the preparations had not gone well, time waited for no one. Even if they were not ready, what would come would come.
On August 6th, the weather was clear and cloudless. Although it was difficult to resist the hot weather, a cool breeze blew from the Shuyang Coal Mine in the depths of the mountains, bringing the early autumn greetings to the signing ceremony.
In front of the Shuyang Coal Mine office building, banners, flags, and balloons were everywhere. The bright red carpet was even more dazzling under the strong light. The atmosphere created at the scene was much stronger than at the Tong Ya Group. It seemed that the newly appointed director of the government office, Li Jianwei, had put in a lot of effort.
Most of the leaders of the four teams in Nanyang County had followed Su Qiming to the Tong Ya Group for an inspection. Only the head of the organization, Shi Fudong, and the chairman of the CPPCC, Duan Changyun, were left behind. Even the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, Xiao Dingyuan, had gone with them. This made Zhang Zhiyuan feel a little disappointed. In this way, it was clear who was on Zhang Zhiyuan's side. Zhang Zhiyuan was very indifferent to this. After all, he was the county magistrate and the second-in-command. It was normal for others to follow the first-in-command.
What he did not expect was that Deputy Mayor Zhao, who was in charge of the industry, actually stood him up, saying that he could not come. It was obvious that he did not give him face. However, the deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Guo Jinzhu, and the secretary of the Municipal Political and Legal Committee, Hou Yongzhi, came uninvited to cheer him on. This made Zhang Zhiyuan very touched.
The lineup of the other party for the signing ceremony had been communicated long ago, but the other party had been unable to decide. Just this morning, they were still communicating on the phone, but they were still uncertain. Before it started, the other party finalized the lineup: the deputy director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, Xu Jiaxing, and the chairman of the Hongtai Group, Yang Tongyao, would attend together. With these two heavyweights, the level of the signing ceremony suddenly rose to a higher level, which made Zhang Zhiyuan feel very gratified.
At the same time, reporters from provincial and county television stations and newspapers rushed over as expected. There was also a national newspaper reporter who appeared at the Shuyang Coal Mine. This made Lu Yiwei, who was in charge of publicity, very excited. After it was done, he had to thank Su Meng.
Due to the hot weather, the signing ceremony was brought forward. First, there were drummers playing and singing, and then there were dance performances from the county cultural center. Then there were firecrackers and salutes, pushing the atmosphere of the whole signing ceremony to a small climax.
Then, County Head Zhang Zhiyuan represented the County party committee to give a welcome speech and briefly introduced the situation in Nanyang and the determination of Shuyang Coal Mine. On behalf of the Municipal Party Committee, Guo Jinzhu, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, expressed a warm welcome to the arrival of Baitai Company. Xu Jiaxing, Deputy Director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, also gave an impassioned speech, which took more than an hour.
After all the leaders had finished speaking, the signing ceremony began. Zhang Zhiyuan and Li Chunni signed their names on the contract and shook hands cordially. The audience burst into thunderous applause, and the spear sprinting made a "kacha kacha" sound. This wonderful moment was frozen in the long river of history.
The leaders were tired of posing, but Lu Yiwei and Li Jianwei were still not relaxed. They were busy preparing lunch. According to Lu Yiwei's suggestion, it was still mainly local specialties and home-cooked dishes in Nanyang. There was no need to be too extravagant. Li Jianwei accepted his suggestion. At lunch, the leaders tasted the different styles of their hometown, and they all gave a thumbs up.
After lunch, the leaders left, and the reporters also left with generous red envelopes. Only the reporter from Xijiang Daily stayed to do an interview with Zhang Zhiyuan. Zhang Zhiyuan, who had always been low-key, did not accept the interview at first, but under the encouragement of Lu Yiwei, he reluctantly agreed and proposed the "Nanyang model" of enterprise restructuring for the first time.
After the signing ceremony was over, all the people involved were exhausted. The leaders could rest, but as a staff member, Lu Yiwei still had to deal with the aftermath. It was already past five o 'clock in the afternoon when he finished.
After resting, he took out his phone and looked at the time, only to find that there were more than 20 missed calls. He opened them and saw that they were all from Xia Jinhe. He was too busy that day, so he did not even have time to look at his phone. In addition, the scene was too noisy, so he could not hear the ringtone at all.
Xia Jinhe had made so many calls, something must have happened. Lu Yiwei quickly returned the call.
At this time, Xia Jinhe was sulking in the dormitory. When he saw that Lu Yiwei had returned the call, he angrily hung up and lay heavily on the bed.
Lu Yiwei was baffled and dialed the number again. After a few calls, Xia Jinhe still did not pick up. This made him anxious, so he called Yao Na. After Yao Na heard it, she quickly called for Lu Yiwei. After knowing the reason, she angrily scolded Lu Yiwei, "Lu Yiwei, have you forgotten what day it is today?"
Lu Yiwei was confused and said, "Isn't today the day of the contract signing between Baitai and Shuyang Coal Mine?"
"Pig brain!" Yao Na scolded, "Think again."
Lu Yiwei thought for a long time, but he still could not remember. He could only say, "Sister Na, I really don't know what day it is. Remind me."
"Today is Chinese Valentine's Day," Yao Na said calmly.
"Ah!" Lu Yiwei suddenly woke up. I forgot. I forgot all about it. I forgot about such an important matter because of the contract signing ceremony. It turned out that Xia Jinhe had agreed to officially register their marriage on China's Valentine's Day.
"Tell Jinhe to wait. I'll rush there as soon as possible!" After that, Lu Yiwei hurriedly hung up the phone. He did not even bother to apply for leave. He went home to find his household register and rushed to the city. Usually, it would take an hour and a half by car, but today, Lu Yiwei only used 40 minutes.
Lu Yiwei stood in front of Xia Jinhe's door and knocked on it with all his might. "Jinhe, I know you're inside. It's all my fault. I beg for your forgiveness."
After begging for a long time, Xia Jinhe still did not open the door. At this moment, the bearded man came over and asked, "What's wrong? Did you throw a tantrum? "
Lu Yiwei did not want to bother with him and continued with his public relations. When the bespectacled man saw Lu Yiwei, he was secretly delighted and said, "You can't tame this kind of woman. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. There will be a car coming to pick her up later!"
Hearing the bespectacled man's nonsense, Xia Jinhe immediately got up and pulled Lu Yiwei in. Lu Yiwei was still pondering over the bespectacled man's words. He asked, "A car coming to pick her up? What do you mean? "
"Don't listen to his nonsense! It's all nonsense! "Xia Jinhe explained.
Lu Yiwei did not pay too much attention to it. He pulled Xia Jinhe's hand and said, "Let's go! There's still some time before we get off work. We can definitely make it. "
Xia Jinhe broke free from Lu Yiwei's hand and sat on the bed angrily. "How can you forget such an important day? How can I trust you with my life?"
"Jinhe, I'm really sorry. You can ask Yao Na if you don't believe me. She can testify that she's really busy these days. "Seeing Xia Jinhe's expression, Lu Yiwei immediately changed his words," That's right! It's my fault. Even if there's a huge matter, I should let it go. I sincerely apologize to you. Please forgive me this time. This kind of situation will never happen again. "
Looking at Lu Yiwei's sincere expression, Xia Jinhe's heart softened. But he still put on a straight face and said, "Tell me, how can I forgive you?"
Hearing that there's hope, Lu Yiwei stood up and said, "Say it. As long as you say it, I promise to agree to it, no matter how big the condition is."
"If I want the moon in the sky, can you pluck it for me?" Xia Jinhe giggled.
Lu Yiwei scratched his head and smiled. "I can't pluck the moon, but my heart is clearer than the moon. I can dig it out for you to see." "Go ahead.
I want to see it now! "Xia Jinhe joked.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yiwei took a pair of scissors from the table, tore his shirt, and stabbed the sharp scissors into his chest.
"Ouch!" Seeing that Lu Yiwei's chest was bleeding, Xia Jinhe hurriedly snatched the scissors away and hugged Lu Yiwei tightly. He murmured, "Why are you so stupid? I believe you, okay?"
Seeing that Xia Jinhe had forgiven him, Lu Yiwei endured the pain and said, "I said that I can do anything for you."
"You can't be so stupid in the future. Let me see the wound. " Seeing that Lu Yiwei's chest was still bleeding, Xia Jinhe hurriedly found a gauze and a cotton swab to carefully clean it. And Lu Yiwei enjoyed this process very much, especially when he saw the concern in Xia Jinhe's eyes.
After the bandaging, Xia Jinhe took out a new shirt from the cabinet and handed it to Lu Yiwei. "Put it on."
Lu Yiwei picked up the shirt and looked at it carefully. He said happily, "Did you buy this for me?"
"You wish. I picked it up from the garbage." Xia Jinhe raised his eyebrows.
Lu Yiwei hurriedly put it on. The size was just right. He quickly praised Xia Jinhe for buying clothes, which made Xia Jinhe's anger dissipate.
The topic returned to the marriage certificate. Lu Yiwei was still blaming himself for his behavior. Xia Jinhe excused himself, "Don't blame yourself. You want to get married today, but they won't let you. Today is Sunday."
"Ah?" Lu Yiwei was a little speechless. However, women had a temper. He did not blame Xia Jinhe for lying to him.
"I have thought about it. August 8th is also a good day. Let's go to get the certificate the day after tomorrow. What do you think?" Xia Jinhe swept away her unhappiness and said excitedly.
"Okay, I completely agree." Lu Yiwei echoed.
Xia Jinhe pouted and said, "You haven't seen me for a long time. Don't you miss me?"
"Of course I miss you. I miss you every night." Lu Yiwei said.
"You only miss me at night? Don't you miss me during the day?" Lu Yiwei was speechless because women were very picky about words.
After flirting, Xia Jinhe said, "I called you here today because I miss you very much. Secondly, I want to announce a good news."
"What good news?"
"Look!" Xia Jinhe took out a bunch of keys from nowhere and shook them in front of Lu Yiwei. She said happily, "I got a room. We finally have our own home."
"Really?" Lu Yiwei was also very excited. He held Xia Jinhe and spun in the room.
