Chapter 492 Opening Ceremony
Jingcheng Hotel, Hall 1.
The hall is magnificent and beautiful.
Under the colorful lights, even the marble floor seemed to sparkle.
Hall 1 is very large and can accommodate approximately fifty or sixty tables of people.
Today, the place is only about half full.
But the person in charge of the wedding arrangements was very smart, and the distance between each table was just right.
Today's wedding can almost be said to have the most top-notch configuration in Beijing.
Although the Meng family had tried their best to keep a low profile, relatives and friends still came for twenty tables.
In addition to some relatives from the groom's family, we also gathered a few tables.
On the stage, the star actors of the General Political Department Song and Dance Troupe were performing a piece called Huangmei Opera - "The Match of Heaven".
Jiang Yunhao, who had just finished the wedding ceremony, was sitting at the host's table waiting for the next toast.
At the main table next to him, Mr. Meng Guangsheng, the old man, was chatting with several elderly people of the same age.
Each of these old people are stomping their feet and can shock the people of Forty-nine Cities.
Among them, there are several members of the Central Advisory Committee, and several others are veteran comrades who have retired from the Military Commission.
Even Jiang Yunhao's father-in-law Meng Guowei dared not move up to the main table.
Jiang Yunhao's father-in-law was promoted to commander of the Beijing Military Region last month.
From the commander of the Beijing Garrison Region to the commander of the Beijing Military Region.
It seems like it's just an upgrade from the deputy military region level to the chief military region level, but it means a lot.
On the one hand, this means that Meng Guowei officially took over his father's authority and became a veritable leader of the second generation of the Meng family.
Although he had basically determined the identity of the future leader of the Meng family before, it was just because no one in the family could challenge him.
You know, Mr. Meng’s generation also has brothers and sisters.
Among Meng Guowei's cousins, there are also some people with outstanding abilities.
However, with Meng Guowei's rapid progress in recent years, there is no longer any opponent within the family.
After being promoted to Zhengda Military Region cadre this time, the second generation leader of the Meng family has completely settled down.
Of course Jiang Yunhao was overjoyed at his father-in-law's promotion.
Although the Capital Garrison is very important, the commander and political commissar are supposed to be high-ranking deputy military region positions.
But in the final analysis, it is just a regular military-level unit.
My father-in-law has been sitting in the position of commander of the capital garrison for too long, which is not conducive to his integration of cadres within the faction.
However, when we arrived at the Beijing Military Region, the situation was completely different.
After reaching this level, you will come into contact with many more cadres above the military level.
Who can be reused and who can be put into the second echelon for training will be under the control of the father-in-law.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yunhao couldn't help but look at Meng Guowei, who was sitting opposite.
My father-in-law was talking to his father, Jiang Hengduo, at the moment.
Jiang Yunhao knew very well what kind of person his father was.
He actually has some intellectual arrogance.
Even if my father-in-law is promoted again, my father will not be too nervous talking to him.
At most, I will just secretly mutter that I am lucky.
"What are you thinking!?"
Meng Yao, who was wearing a pure white evening gown next to her, secretly held Jiang Yunhao's hand under the table.
"Nothing, I want to toast later."
Jiang Yunhao forced a smile.
Seeing him looking slightly tired, Meng Yao felt a little distressed.
My husband has been really busy these days during the Chinese New Year.
First, I went to Nanzhou City and personally invited my elders and relatives.
After that, I traveled around the capital for a few days.
There is no way, the disciples of the Meng family have too many old friends.
For some elders, the young couple must come to invite them personally to be polite.
When he was busy preparing for the wedding, Jiang Yunhao had to talk on the phone with Huanghai City from time to time to handle work.
Seeing that her husband was so busy, Meng Yao only regretted that she couldn't help.
Sometimes, Meng Yao couldn't help but think that it would be great if her husband transferred Yanfei to Huanghai City as well.
In this case, it can also help him share part of the work.
Thinking of this, Meng Yao subconsciously looked to the other side of him.
He Yanfei, who was the bridesmaid, was chatting with the makeup artist behind her, and seemed to be coming up with some ideas.
For today's wedding, He Yanfei was responsible for all the make-up artist and everything else, and of course it had to be perfect.
To this best friend, Meng Yao could only say two words: Awesome!
"Hey, what are you and Yun Hao talking about?"
Turning his eyes to the best man next to Jiang Yunhao, Meng Yao couldn't help scolding him.
Today's best man, Bai Xiaoyu, has quite a lot of background.
At just 31 years old, he is already the deputy brigade commander and chief of staff of a marine brigade of a group army in the Southwest Military Region, with the rank of colonel.
The 31-year-old colonel is definitely a star of hope in the military.
The key is that Bai Xiaoyu is still a full-time colonel in the front-line troops, and his weight is very important.
Of course, Bai Xiaoyu's personal identity is nothing more than a child's play compared to the family's power.
Bai Xiaoyu's family, like the Meng family, is also a wealthy family in the capital.
Bai Xiaoyu's grandfather, Mr. Bai, was on the same team as Mr. Meng in a certain division.
One is the division commander and the other is the division political commissar.
Later, he became the founding major general.
With the life-and-death friendship between the two old men on the battlefield, the relationship between the Bai and Meng families is naturally very good.
It is not an exaggeration to describe it with the phrase "the same spirit connects the branches".
Mr. Bai passed away relatively early, and his only son Bai Jiwei received great care from Mr. Meng.
However, Bai Jiwei did not want to develop in the military.
Mr. Meng did not forcefully force him to change his ambition as an elder, but let nature take its course.
Today, Bai Jiwei is the deputy secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee and the third most powerful figure in the capital team.
The weight of cadres in the capital is slightly higher than that of other provinces and municipalities.
There has been a precedent in the past where ordinary members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee in the capital were directly transferred to ministries and commissions to serve as top leaders.
Although it is only a ministry that does not carry much weight, it is enough to show the weight of the cadres in the capital.
There is absolutely no problem for Bai Jiwei, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, to be transferred to another province to serve as governor.
Secretary Bai, like his father, has only one son, Bai Xiaoyu.
Both father and son seem to have a somewhat rebellious mentality.
Bai Jiwei did not inherit his father's legacy and develop in the army.
As for Bai Xiaoyu, he did not follow his father's example and go into politics, but went to military school.
Speaking of which, Bai Xiaoyu and Meng Yao can be said to be childhood sweethearts.
The age difference between the two is not big, just three or four years old.
After the two were born, the two families had the idea of getting married.
However, as the two grew older, everyone discovered that these two did not call at all and were just pure siblings.
Bai Xiaoyu felt that Meng Yao's personality was too strong and too serious.
He himself has always been unfettered and would not even listen to his father's words, so of course he did not want to be controlled.
As for Meng Yao, she also dislikes the maverick Bai Xiaoyu.
As an only son in the family, he is already "over 30 years old" and he still hasn't found a girlfriend, which is really annoying.
However, Bai Xiaoyu came back to celebrate the New Year this time, which can be regarded as a help.
Knowing that he had a few days off, Meng Yao immediately captured the young man and asked him to be the best man.
Although Bai Xiaoyu has never met Jiang Yunhao, he is very aware of his deeds in the army.
Even deep down, I admire Jiang Yunhao.
