During the congratulatory speech segment, Zheng Zijuan was naturally the first to be invited up by the emcee. After she went up on stage, other than the romantic and warm background music, there was no other sound. This fully demonstrated the awe and admiration the guests had for this city leader.
Zheng Zijuan gave an impromptu speech. From the perspective of a leader, she praised Ji Xiaojia's qualities and work ability in all aspects. She also gave a few words of praise to the groom. In the end, she wished the couple a long and happy life. Then, she ended the speech amidst warm applause. She returned the microphone and left the stage.
After she left the stage, she quietly left. Before she left, she stopped Ji Fei and the others from sending her off so as not to affect the wedding process. Therefore, it did not cause a big commotion. Many people did not know that she had left and thought that she had returned to her seat.
After that, many guests went up on stage to give congratulatory speeches, such as Wang Gang, the groom's godfather, the premier (who was in charge of the wedding), the introducer, and so on. These people's speeches took up a lot of time. However, the wedding time was used to waste, so no one was dissatisfied.
To make a long story short, by the time the wedding ceremony was over, it was already past 11 pm. The banquet began.
After Zheng Zijuan left, Wang Gang ran back to his table and ate and drank with the members of the city bureau. After all, who would want to stay with old acquaintances? Guan Weiwei and Tan Yang were also at that table. This way, Li Rui's table didn't have any official friends, but it saved him the trouble of socializing and he could eat and drink in peace.
After eating for a while, Shen Yuanzhu came over with a wine bottle and a wine glass. She wanted to toast him. Shen Yuanzhu had just toasted Wang Gang and the other leaders of the bureau, so she had drunk a lot. Her beautiful face was red like a big apple, and her charming peach blossom eyes were watery. She wanted Li Rui to finish the wine in his glass first, then fill it up for him, and then toast to him. This was equivalent to asking him to finish two glasses. This was also the standard procedure for toasting people.
Li Rui smiled bitterly and said, "Director Shen, I still have to drive to the provincial capital after dinner. Can you spare me a glass of wine? Just one glass of wine, okay?" Shen Yuanzhu pretended to be drunk and said, "Even if you drive to Mars, you still have to finish the wine in your glass today. It's only 38%. What's there to be afraid of if you drink a few more glasses? Besides, you should at least let me pour you a glass, right?" Li Rui saw that she was looking at him angrily and resentfully. The corners of her red and oily mouth were curled up. She looked both amorous and charming. His heart itched. He clenched his teeth and said, "Alright, two cups it is." After he finished speaking, he picked up the wine cup and downed it.
Shen Yuanzhu giggled and filled his glass with wine, saying, "Alright, this time I can toast to you … Li Chu, I toast to you, I wish you a prosperous career as an official, awe-inspiring and awe-inspiring …" Li Rui waved his hand and cut her off, saying, "Enough, enough, enough. Hurry up and stop, what are you talking about, haha, wishing me a prosperous career as an official is one thing, but what do you mean by awe-inspiring and awe-inspiring? Shen Yuanzhu laughed and said, "The higher your official position, the more awe-inspiring you will be, won't you?" Only then was Li Rui satisfied. He laughed and said, "I'll take your auspicious words as a reward. Let's do it."
The two men clinked their wine glasses together and downed their glasses. They looked at each other and laughed happily.
Shen Yuanzhu waited for him to sit down. She bent down and whispered in his ear, "You just said that you still want to toast me. I'll go back and wait." After she finished speaking, she smiled charmingly and left with the bottle of wine.
Li Rui turned and looked at her as she walked away. He felt that her hips seemed to have become more voluptuous in his eyes. He really wanted to pinch and slap her a few times. How could she be so naughty as to make him drink?
In fact, even if Shen Yuanzhu did not say anything, Li Rui would have gone over to toast her. Of course, he would also toast to the leaders and elders like Wang Gang. After all, it was a drinking party. Wasn't this the way to toast each other?
He ate a few mouthfuls of food and suppressed the smell of alcohol. Just as he was about to stand up and toast, he saw Ji Fei bringing Wang Jie and Ji Xiaojia over to toast. He could only sit back down.
Ji Xiaojia had already changed her clothes. She had changed from the white wedding dress that she had worn during the ceremony to a short red cheongsam that was embroidered with golden phoenixes. Her two slender and thin thighs were exposed without stockings. Her skin was snow-white and flawless, and she was wearing a pair of red high heels. She walked over gracefully and was very eye-catching. Li Rui saw this and finally realized that he had underestimated Ji Xiaojia's beauty. He muttered in his heart, "Wang Jie is full of luck with women!"
The husband and wife toasted him together. After Li Rui finished drinking, he said to Ji Xiaojia, "Minister Zheng asked me to toast you on her behalf. But I can't drink too much today. Forget it." Ji Xiaojia mischievously said, "Aiya, how can you do that? She asked you to do it. How can you go back on your word? Why don't I call her now and tell her that you don't want to fulfill her request? Let's see what she has to say. "
Ji Fei and Wang Jie watched this scene with a smile. Although they did not help Li Rui, they were already putting pressure on him.
Li Rui stared at Ji Xiaojia with love and hate. This brat, she was not so naughty in the past. Why was she so enthusiastic about the wedding today? Was she trying to get him drunk on purpose? Did she not think about it? If he toasted her on behalf of Zheng Zijuan, she would also have to drink a glass. Was she not worried that she would not be able to consummate her marriage if she got drunk? At the thought of consummating her marriage, he suddenly felt that her marriage to Wang Jie was like a flower stuck in cow dung. At least in terms of appearance, that was the case. Other than gold, what else did Wang Jie have that was worthy of Miss Ji? He felt sorry for Ji Xiaojia and smiled bitterly. "Okay, okay …" He drank another glass.
After dealing with Ji Xiaojia, Li Rui did not even have time to catch his breath before Guan Weiwei and Tan Yang came over to toast again. Of course, he could not refuse to drink the wine of these two people. Li Rui could only drink two more glasses. When he sat down, he was already feeling a little tipsy. He hurriedly ate some food to suppress his drunkenness and drank two more cups of tea. When he felt that he was ready to fight again, he stood up and went out to toast. He toasted Wang Gang and other important people in the Municipal Bureau. He felt that he had drunk too much and did not have time to toast Shen Yuanzhu. He hurriedly returned to the table to eat and drink tea. However, he could no longer suppress his drunkenness. His head was swollen and he was in a daze. He thought to himself that since the banquet was over and he had toasted all his friends, it was about time for him to leave. He would go home to pick up Qingman and rush to the provincial capital. However, he could not drive, so he had to let Qingman drive …
When Ji Xiaojia came back from the toast, she saw that his face was red and listless. She guessed that he had drunk too much and poured a cup of tea for him. She asked gently, "Are you okay? If you can't, go inside and lie down for a while. There's a changing room inside with a bed. You can lie down. If you want to go inside, I'll help you over. " Li Rui slowly shook his head. Looking at her concerned expression, he suddenly felt a sense of pride. He said, "I won't lie down. It's time to go." Ji Xiaojia was slightly surprised. She called out, "You're leaving now? The banquet is not over yet. "Li Rui smiled and said," Silly girl, I won't wait for it to end. I'm leaving now. "Ji Xiaojia asked curiously," Is there something urgent that you need to do? "Li Rui said," There's nothing urgent. I'm just going to the provincial capital. "
Ji Xiaojia said casually, "Since there's nothing urgent, then don't leave first. Wait for a while. Didn't you drink too much? Then go inside and lie down for a while. I'll go around and greet my friends and family. If there's nothing else, I'll come find you. I still have something to tell you. "Li Rui was stunned. He asked curiously," You have something to tell me? What is it? Business or private? "Ji Xiaojia smiled and said," You'll know in a while. Let's not talk about it now. It's a secret! " Li Rui's heart was itching because of her, but he didn't ask anymore. He said, "Okay, then I'll go inside and rest for a while." Ji Xiaojia reached out to hold his arm and said, "Let's go. I'll help you over." Li Rui smiled and said, "You don't have to help me over. I haven't drunk that much. Just tell me the approximate location."
Two minutes later, Li Rui walked lightly into the innermost corner of the VIP lounge. Although it was called a dressing room, it was actually a standard double room. There were two single beds, tables, chairs, and furniture. There was also a washroom. The decoration was luxurious. Li Rui entered the room and looked around. He saw that Ji Xiaojia's wedding dress was piled on the bed. There were also a few bags of other clothes. It was almost full. He sat down on the single bed near the outside and lay down on his back. He didn't take off his shoes and just lay there horizontally.
He laid down for two to three minutes before the door opened. A voluptuous figure walked in. When she saw him lying on the bed, she closed the door behind her and said with a smile, "Why did you collapse before you even gave me a toast? That's not right! "
When Li Rui heard this familiar voice, he was surprised and happy. Why didn't Ji Xiaojia come? Why did she come here? He grinned and looked up. When he saw that it was indeed Shen Yuanzhu who had entered the room, he laughed and scolded, "You still have the cheek to say that? Shen Yuanzhu, come here. Let me teach you a lesson. If it weren't for you, would I have gotten drunk so quickly? " Shen Yuanzhu cried out, "Aiyoyo, I only toasted you once. Why are you blaming me when you're drunk? Do you think I'm easy to bully? Haha. " As she spoke, she had already walked to his side. She deliberately lifted her leg and kicked his shoe. Of course, it was a light kick. Li Rui sat up dizzily and said, "Why was it only one glass? It was obviously two glasses! "Shen Yuanzhu laughed and said," Two glasses and you're drunk? I don't believe you. You can drink a lot. Let me tell you, don't blame me. "
Li Rui didn't argue with her. He raised his left hand and grabbed her arm. He pulled her forward and raised his right hand. He aimed at her butt and slapped it down. There was a "pa" sound and it was a direct hit.
