It was an eye-opener for the onlookers. They did not expect a wedding to be so luxurious. It was already shocking enough to be held at the International Hotel. They heard that the banquet was the best. All the dishes were the signature dishes of the International Hotel, and the drinks were all Maotai. How much money did the banquet cost? This family was really rich.
Also, the guests were not ordinary. There were many Divisional level officials and Section level officials. There were even more than 10 Departmental level officials. These two families must have powerful backgrounds. They were not sure if they were relatives of the City's leaders or Provincial leaders.
The bridesmaids and groomsmen were Wu Chih-gang and his nurse girlfriend. Feng Yu was still in school and did not get to attend. The emcee was a host from the City's TV station. He was hired with money. The witness was changed from Deputy Director Xue to the Chief of the Post Office. Li Shiqiang's resignation had not been approved by his unit! Nowadays, the witness was usually the leader of the groom's unit. But it was rare to invite a high-ranking leader.
Feng Yu had wanted to invite Zhang Ruiqiang to be the witness, but Zhang Ruiqiang waved his hand. It was not a good idea to invite Zhang Ruiqiang. Zhang Ruiqiang had given Feng Yu face by attending the wedding. Feng Yu did not expect him to be the Chief of the Post Office.
Li Shiqiang's father was drunk that day. He did not expect so many high-ranking leaders to attend his son's wedding, especially his boss. He patted his father's shoulders and told him that it was time to give him more responsibilities.
Those in the government knew what Li Shiqiang meant. He was going to promote him. Li Shiqiang's father was excited and drank another glass of wine to express his gratitude.
Li Shiqiang's father also had to drink with Li Mingde, Li Shiyou, Hou Haitao, etc. These were all high-ranking leaders that he could not meet normally. Especially when he was drinking with Zhang Ruiqiang, his hands were trembling. Zhang Ruiqiang was the Deputy Mayor. Li Shiqiang had never dined with the Deputy Mayor before.
The leader of the Post Office told Li Shiqiang that he would not resign and would continue to work without pay. He could return to his unit anytime.
What a joke, Li Shiqiang's wedding, even the Chief of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau was here. How could he dare to make things difficult for Li Shiqiang? What's more, he was originally a comrade-in-arms with Li Du's father. It was a good opportunity to get closer to him. Maybe he could use the Li family's relationship to help him move up the ranks.
If the Post and Telecommunications Bureau was not Li Shiqiang's unit, the Bureau Chief of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau might not even be able to sit at the first table.
Feng Xingtai was much calmer. Today was his daughter's wedding, and the groom's wedding banquet was being held. It was only right for Li Xingtai's father to receive the guests. According to the Feng Family's rules, there were still three more days before the wedding. On the 10th day of the New Year, the Feng Family would hold another banquet at the Farm. That was when Feng Xingtai had to entertain the guests.
Feng Xingtai sat at the first table and had a drink with the leaders. Then, he listened to his wife and ate more. Not to mention, the banquet in this International Hotel was so delicious.
Not only were there mountain delicacies, but there were also seafood dishes, some of which Feng Xingtai had never seen before. From the looks of the leaders, they were satisfied with the food.
Feng Yu sat at Tai Hua Trading's table. He did not want to sit at the first table. At his age, if he sat at the first table, it would be too eye-catching. Toast? Feng Yu also did not go. He did not drink, and he was still a student.
Li Mingde and the rest were chatting and drinking at the same time. It was obvious that Zhang Ruiqiang was the leader of this table.
Although Zhang Ruiqiang was only a Deputy Mayor and was half a rank lower than Li Shiyou and Hou Haitao, but after the Motor Factory and Aviation Factory were converted from military to civilian, the local government had more say. Zhang Ruiqiang was also in charge of the restructuring of state-owned enterprises. In some aspects, he could really restrict the two factories.
Furthermore, all of them knew that Zhang Ruiqiang was transferred over to be the Deputy Mayor because of the Provincial Government's No. 1.
Zhang Ruiqiang did not put on airs. He asked Li Shiyou and Hou Haitao about the factory's situation. He was especially interested when he heard that they had cooperated with Feng Yu.
Li Shiyou and Hou Haitao looked at each other and briefly explained. They did not make it clear that the development was not completed yet. But these words were heard by Li Mingde. What the hell? Feng Yu had cooperated with the Motor Factory and Aviation Factory to develop a new generation of humidifiers, and he did not even think of the Machinery Company?
Li Mingde also had humidifiers in his office, and it was quite useful. He had also asked the engineers at the factory. This humidifier did not have any technical requirements. It was just a heating rod, heat-resistant plastic, etc. The Machinery Company could also produce this humidifier. But when these simple things were combined together, they were actually so profitable! Your father also had shares in the Machinery Company. This was a profitable business, and you don't want to give it to the Machinery Company? Why did you cooperate with those two factories?
Li Mingde had never considered that the Machinery Company's agricultural machinery orders were all booked until May. There was no time for them to manufacture the humidifiers. But he felt that this money should belong to the Machinery Company.
Zhang Ruiqiang changed the topic to Feng Yu and asked the two factory directors if they had ordered machinery from Feng Yu or advanced technologies from the Soviet Union. Both of them nodded. They had ordered the machines, but Feng Yu said that they still need to wait. It was not easy to get the machines now, but he promised that he would get the machines within a year.
Feng Xingtai heard this and pricked up his ears. Huh? Get the machines for them? Why is the second soybean oil production line not here yet? He is helping an outsider? I must give him a good beating when I get back!
Zhang Ruiqiang nodded. This Xiao Feng was really capable, but he liked to exploit loopholes. He had asked him about the used cars once, but he did not do it. Now, he had set up a fleet of Gaz cars and did not even pay a single cent of taxes.
Feng Yu sued the Russians. What was going on? It was obvious that Feng Yu was trying to avoid paying taxes. But this was still legal, and no one could find any problems with it. Unless they could prove that the IOU was fake.
But never mind. Zhang Ruiqiang did not want to make things difficult for Feng Yu. Zhang Ruiqiang could imagine that if he asked Feng Yu what was going on, Feng Yu would insist that it was because the other party could not pay his debts and used the cars as compensation.
Zhang Ruiqiang only hoped that Feng Yu would contribute more to Bing City and not just think about making money himself. What was the point of making so much money? Could he finish spending it?
"Mr. Feng, I heard that you had set up a factory in the district. That Tai Hua Premium Cooking Oil is produced by your factory. You had changed from a farmer to an entrepreneur." Zhang Ruiqiang laughed and said.
When he heard the Deputy Mayor praising him, Feng Xing Tai's face turned red: "Hahaha, it's not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning." Although he said this, his face was filled with pride. He could not wait for people to praise him more.
Li Shiqiang's father drunkenly returned to the first table. He only ate a few mouthfuls of food before he was carried away by his wife. The wedding banquet ended, and all the guests had left. Some of the guests who liked to pack up realized that everyone had finished all the food at the wedding banquet. Many of them were so full that they could not even walk. They said that this was the only time in their lives that they could dine at the International Hotel. They must eat to their heart's content!
Even after a long time, this wedding was still talked about by the residents … …
