Li Zhen's marriage was scheduled for September 25th. Wei Yuan once again acted as a vanguard, using Jiuzhou Daily to cheer for Li Zhen and announce the date of Li Zhen's marriage.
In one day, all the people in the city knew about the day when Li Zhen got married.
Countless people are considering attending the wedding.
In the city, Fan Mansion's mansion.
In the backyard, in the old lady's yard, a little maid was reading a newspaper. The old lady was old and had bad eyesight, but she was a literate person. She couldn't read, so she asked the little maid next to her to read to her. The old lady turned out that I live in a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters outside the city, the transportation is unchanged, and I have no access to Jiuzhou Daily.
After moving to the city, I came into contact with the Jiuzhou Daily. It didn't matter if I didn't read it. After reading it, I actually liked reading the newspaper. She couldn't see it herself, so she asked the little maid to read it to her every day. If she didn't listen, she wouldn't be peaceful, and there would be no floods. When she left, the old lady learned about Li Zhen from the newspaper and often praised Li Zhen as a good official.
After listening to what the little maid read, the old lady learned about Li Zhen's marriage and had some ideas.
Although the Fan family is not related to Li Zhen, the Fan family is a well-known family. Li Zhen personally talked to the old lady and persuaded her to move. The old lady had a good impression of Li Zhen and was thinking about attending the wedding. The old lady If you want to do it, do it, take action immediately, and send someone to find Fan Kai.
Fan Kai was still dealing with things in the bank. After receiving the old lady's advice, he didn't dare to delay. He immediately returned home and went to the backyard. Fan Kai asked: "Mom, do you have any instructions for your son?"
The old lady handed the newspaper to Fan Kai and said, "Eight pounds. The newspaper published the date of Mr. Li's wedding. They got married on September 25th. What do you think?"
Fan Kai stood respectfully in front of the old lady and said in a soft voice: "My son has already decided on a gift, and he will take my mother to congratulate him when the time comes." At this point, Fan Kai said faintly: "Mother, Mr. Li You are a good official, so you shouldn’t care so much. Even on my son’s birthday, I don’t see you being so anxious to take care of it.”
"Bastard thing."
There was a smile on the wrinkled face of the old lady, and she chuckled softly: "Master Li is an official, so naturally he needs to get in touch with him more. The more you get in touch with this person, you will gradually become familiar with him. Our Fan family is in business. If you and I Mr. Li has a close relationship. Who dares to pay attention to the Fan family? You have been in business for many years and you still don’t know this truth. Businessmen must be kind to others and strictly abide by the rules. They must neither cheat nor deceive. However, they cannot allow others to mess with them. pinch."
The old lady sighed with emotion: "It is a good thing to have more contact with Mr. Li. Besides, although the old woman has bad eyesight, her heart is sharp and clear. I can feel that Mr. Li is a good official."
Fan Kai suddenly smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother, my son will take care of it."
The old lady preached again: "If you do well, if you do things well, if you have any good ideas, find more friends in Guangzhou, let them think about it with you, and give Mr. Li a surprise. Only then can you stand out and be remembered by Mr. Li." live."
Fan Kai was determined to refute, but after thinking about it, he still didn't speak.
In the eyes of the old lady, he was still a child who had not grown up. Fan Kai felt warm in his heart and said with a smile: "My son will go to Mu Mansion to find Brother Mu, and then invite other businessmen to discuss giving Mr. Li a surprise." ."
The old lady smiled and said: "Okay, okay, my son will definitely become the business leader of Guangzhou in the future."
Fan Kai respectfully withdrew and went straight to Mu Mansion.
Fan Kai was a frequent visitor to Mu Zhongyuan's house. He entered the hall directly and sat down in the hall. After a while, Mu Zhongyuan came out, and Mu Ziqing also came out to make tea for Fan Kai.
Fan Kai joked: "Xiao Mu, Uncle Fan heard that you met a doctor who returned from studying in the UK in the hospital. His name is Huan Xiaolang. Well, I heard that you have a good relationship, right?"
Mu Ziqing's face turned red and she said angrily, "The tea has been brewed for you, but if you didn't want to drink it, Mu'er poured it over."
During the flood, Mu Ziqing almost always lived in the hospital, and Huan Xiaolang was no exception. The two saw each other every day and worked together. They got along really well and gradually developed a tacit understanding. In addition, the two We both received foreign education in the UK, so we are of the same family, and have common topics. We have gradually become familiar with each other, but we haven’t broken through the window yet.
"Uncle Fan, drink tea, drink tea,."
Fan Kai glanced at Mu Ziqing intriguingly, turned his eyes, and said: "Brother Mu, I came to visit today because I want to discuss with you the marriage of Admiral Li. My idea is to gather friends from the business community in Guangzhou, except us. In addition to my own congratulatory gift, I will give Admiral Li a surprise together in the name of Guangzhou businessmen. We businessmen in the Guangzhou business community have established a relationship with Admiral Li, which will be good for our future development. What do you think?"
Fan Kai nodded and said: "Dezhi is right, this is an opportunity for us businessmen in Guangzhou. Last time we donated money and materials for disaster relief, we have left a good impression on Admiral Li. This time we will completely establish our position."
Mu Ziqing stood behind Fan Kai, curled her lips, and said disdainfully: "Dad, my brother is not that powerful. As long as you do business well and abide by your duties, there will be no problem."
Fan Kai raised his eyebrows, looked at Mu Ziqing, and asked, "Ziqing, you call Admiral Li your brother."
Mu Ziqing smiled and said, "Of course, this is the brother I recognize."
Fan Kai sighed: "Brother Mu is really lucky. With this relationship, the Mu family is as stable as Mount Tai."
Mu Zhongyuan laughed, changed the topic, and continued: "I will immediately send someone to invite the other businessmen, and we will discuss the matter of giving gifts to Admiral Li."
As he spoke, Mu Zhongyuan called the housekeeper and gave instructions.
In less than half an hour, businessmen arrived one after another.
Among them, a few businessmen are potbellied, and more are elegant and gentle, giving people a feeling of spring breeze. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and those who come into contact with Mu Zhongyuan, Fan Kai and others are mostly Confucian businessmen with conscience and morality.
Mu Zhongyuan glanced at the gathered businessmen and said: "Everyone must know the news that Admiral Li is about to get married. Brother Fan Xian and I discussed it and decided that in addition to the congratulatory gifts we would give to Admiral Li ourselves, we would also use the name of our Guangzhou businessmen to give gifts to Admiral Li. Admiral Li has a surprise. He wants to stand out and establish our status as a businessman in Guangzhou. What do you think?"
After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Immediately, I felt embarrassed again.
When it comes to money, any businessman can give out hundreds of thousands of taels of money as a gift, but it is really difficult to get along with gift giving in a creative way. Li Zhen is the admiral and governor of Guangdong, and he has a high position of power. He wants to give Li Zhen such a gift. It is impossible to surprise people casually.
Besides, Li Zhen couldn't give away a singer or the like when he got married, which would make it even more difficult to do so.
Mu Ziqing stood behind Mu Zhongyuan and said with a smile: "Uncles, Xiao Mu has a surprise for his brother to get married. If all uncles work together, we can definitely make it happen."
Most of the businessmen in the hall knew about the relationship between Mu Ziqing and Li Zhen. One of them smiled and said: "Xiao Mu is indeed from England. Come on, let's talk about it."
Mu Ziqing immediately said: "Since it is a wedding and there is a special surprise, we can do this..., when the time comes, it will be an unforgettable scene, and my brother will definitely like it."
As he spoke, Mu Ziqing showed a look of longing on his face.
After hearing this, Fan Kai clapped his hands repeatedly and praised: "Xiao Mu, your attention is very subtle. Although the workload of the project is huge, there is still some time before the wedding, which is enough to prepare." As he spoke, Fan Kai looked at the others. The businessman asked: "I think Xiaomu's suggestion is very feasible and surprising enough. What do you think?"
Everyone nodded in unison, with a look of anticipation on their faces.
This was a surprise for Li Zhen in the name of the Guangzhou business community. They could benefit from it as long as they paid a little, so they were naturally willing. Mu Zhongyuan glanced at Mu Ziqing, and a trace of satisfaction flashed across his face.
It was his good daughter who came up with this idea.
ps: The first update will be a surprise, you can take a guess.
