Chapter 491 At the low-key but grand wedding banquet
On Friday morning, his mother Meng Lin and his wife Feng Qianru came to the neighboring county in advance and rested in Peng Yuanzheng's dormitory.
At ten o'clock, Wang Hao walked into Peng Yuanzheng's office "under considerable pressure" and reported to Peng Yuanzheng on the preparations for the afternoon wedding banquet. Recently, there was a rumor in the county government that it was because Wang Hao and Peng Yuanzheng
Being too close aroused the great resentment of the county magistrate Gong Hanlin, and Peng Yuanzheng's proposal to promote Wang Hao to the director of the county office was also rejected by Gong Hanlin.
Recently, Wang Hao also noticed that Gong Hanlin seemed to be a little cold towards him. When Gong Hanlin signed a report and reported work, there was never a happy moment.
Wang Hao felt very helpless. But in the officialdom, he could only choose one side. He could not waver between Gong Hanlin and Peng Yuanzheng and have both sides. Since he chose Peng Yuanzheng, he could only go one way.
After all. Otherwise, both ends will be different from each other.
"Boss, everything has been arranged. And according to the leader's request, several rooms have been booked in the county hotel. In case there are guests from out of town, they can check in and rest after attending the banquet in the evening." Wang Hao said with a respectful smile.
Peng Yuanzheng nodded, "Well, that's good. From out of town... there will definitely be people coming."
Peng Yuanzheng remembered that the Meng family had relatives in other cities. He must have said hello to the Meng family in advance, and probably would send representatives. There were also several of his college classmates in the surrounding areas whom he had contacted on the phone before.
If unexpected, a few will come.
Calculated in this way, 24 tables is really not too many. His classmates, friends, relatives of the Meng family, and acquaintances from all walks of life in the city and county. There will be many people coming. Of course, the "big head" is still from the county.
.
Wang Hao has already given him a "vaccination". He said that everyone in the county committee and county government agencies said they would come to support him, and he didn't need to take red envelopes and eat and drink for free to congratulate the county leaders. How could this kind of good thing not be done?
Makes people flock to it!
In order to take precautions, Wang Hao reserved all the rooms on the second floor of the county reception office. If the hall below could not be seated, he would go upstairs to make arrangements. He did not tell Peng Yuanzheng about this - anyway, this
He was the "general butler" of the wedding banquet. He just took care of the arrangements.
What Peng Yuanzheng sees is not the process, but the result.
Peng Yuanzheng took a deep breath and smiled softly. "It seems that I will spend tens of thousands of yuan this time."
Wang Hao smiled bitterly: "Boss, it is a folk custom to give red envelopes at wedding banquets, but you refuse to accept them and pay for the banquet yourself. This expense will definitely not be small."
Peng Yuanzheng smiled nonchalantly and did not continue the topic. Tens of thousands of dollars was just a number to him, how could he take it seriously? He organized the wedding banquet just to "cope" and save face.
.As for the cost, it can be ignored.
"Wang Hao. Please help me write a report to the County Commission for Discipline Inspection. Report the approximate number of tables and number of people at today's banquet. At the same time, make it clear that I will bear all the expenses for this banquet and will not accept red envelopes or gifts from anyone. Please report to the County Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Prepare the record." Peng Yuanzheng suddenly looked up at Wang Hao.
Wang Hao nodded, "Yes, leader, I understand. I've already filled out the application form for the Discipline Inspection Commission. Anyway, the people from the Discipline Inspection Commission will definitely be there by then, and I'll ask them to supervise by the way."
"Okay." Peng Yuanzheng waved his hand, glanced at Wang Hao, and lowered his voice, "Wang Hao, thank the comrades in the county government office for me. After waiting, I will treat everyone to a meal to express my gratitude! This time, everyone has worked hard.
Already."
"The leader is too ignorant. It is our job responsibility to serve the leader..." Wang Hao said with shame.
"Public and private matters should be kept separate. After all, I'm sorry to trouble everyone about my personal affairs." Peng Yuanzheng smiled, and suddenly said calmly, "I mentioned your work issue to County Magistrate Gong, but Magistrate Gong's opinion is
Let's wait for a while and then discuss and study it when the leadership team is in place. You should keep calm and do the work patiently. Personally, I will try my best. You should have an explanation after you have been in charge of the county government office for more than two years.
"….
"Thank you, leader!" Wang Hao felt excited, knowing that Peng Yuanzheng was not only comforting himself, but also making a promise to himself. Peng Yuanzheng is a person who does not make promises lightly, and since he said so, it must be true.
"By the way, leader, Lao Xie from the Public Security Bureau just discussed with me whether to arrange for a few policemen to help maintain order at the scene, just in case..." Wang Hao was interrupted by Peng Yuanzheng before he could finish his words.
.
"This is absolutely impossible! I must not use the police force for my personal affairs!" Peng Yuanzheng waved his hand very seriously and said in a deep voice: "Tell Xie Hui and the comrades in the county bureau that I welcome everyone to come for a drink. Others
,no!"
"Okay, leader, I understand." Wang Hao shook his head secretly, knowing that his question was in vain. At this moment, he was really feeling emotional. He had been in the agency for ten years, and this was the first time he had encountered
A leader like Peng Yuanzheng has a clear distinction between public and private affairs, and regards material and interests as lightly as a feather. This style is definitely not showy or hypocritical, and can be called high-spirited and honest.
Wang Hao turned around and left Peng Yuanzheng's office. As he walked down the corridor, a tall, slender, delicate, and graceful young woman walked towards him.
Wang Hao looked around and saw that this woman was extremely eye-catching and very beautiful, so he took another look.
The woman stopped and asked with a calm smile, "Comrade, excuse me, I would like to ask which office Peng Yuanzheng is in? Is he here?"
The reserved look on Wang Hao's face suddenly relaxed and was replaced by a smile. He works in an office and is good at observing people's words and expressions. The young woman in front of him was very human at first glance, and she addressed Peng Yuanzheng directly.
He is obviously a close personal friend of Peng Yuanzheng.
"Hello, our County Magistrate Peng is in the office, you are..."
The woman smiled and said, "I am his friend and I have something to do with him."
Wang Hao did not dare to neglect and said with a smile, "Follow me."
Wang Hao led the woman into Peng Yuanzheng's office before leaving. Peng Yuanzheng looked up and saw that it was Xu Xiao, the daughter of Xu Chunting, secretary of the provincial party committee. He stood up in surprise and smiled, "Xu Xiao, why is it you?"
Xu Xiao pouted unhappily, sat down on the sofa, and said dissatisfied: "Peng Yuanzheng, you and Qianru are both boring! You two didn't even tell me about your marriage! You held it in the capital.
At the wedding, I am still considered a friend, but I am not even qualified to attend the wedding!"
Peng Yuanzheng smiled awkwardly and said: "Xu Xiao, I'm sorry, the wedding in Beijing is only on a small scale. Only relatives and friends of our two families attended, and there were almost no outsiders. Moreover, Secretary Xu knows that I
Uncle Xu specially explained it to Secretary Xu."
Xu Xiao raised his eyebrows: "So, what about this time? Why didn't you tell me? If I hadn't heard the news and rushed over on my own initiative, would I have failed again?"
Peng Yuanzheng rubbed his hands, "This... isn't really a wedding banquet. I'm just symbolically inviting my colleagues from the county and city to have a meal together... Since you're here, let's join in the fun together."
Xu Xiao glared at Peng Yuanzheng, "Stop talking nonsense, where is your new wife? I want to settle the score with her!"
"She and my mother are in my dormitory. I'll have someone take you there." Peng Yuanzheng smiled, grabbed the phone and asked Wang Hao to arrange a car to take Xu Xiao there.
On Xu Chunting's side, the Feng family had thought about inviting them during the wedding. But later Peng Yuanzheng felt that since it was a small-scale event with relatives and his own people as the mainstay, it was not appropriate to allow Xu Chunting, a prince of the party, to come forward. As for this time, it was even worse for him to invite again.
He is from the Xu family.
Unexpectedly, Xu Xiao came anyway. But coming, it was normal. Of course it was inappropriate for Xu Chunting and his wife to come forward, and it was reasonable for their daughter to come to support them as friends.
…
Since 5 o'clock in the afternoon, guests have been arriving one after another. Wang Hao, Huo Guangming and Tian Ming arranged the dining seats. Most of the people who arrived in advance were Peng Yuanzheng's classmates and friends in the city and out of town, more than a dozen of them came.
There are also relatives of the Meng family...
At half past five, the entrance to the reception desk of the county committee was decorated with lanterns. Peng Yuanzheng was wearing a black suit, and Feng Qianru was wearing a goose-yellow skirt with a little makeup, making her look bright and noble.
The two of them were waiting at the door, while mother Meng Lin and uncle Meng Qiang, also dressed in formal attire, were waiting on the other side as parents.
People from the county party committee and government agencies rushed over immediately after work. Many people were first stunned by Feng Qianru's stunning appearance, and then were shocked by the appearance of Executive Vice Mayor Meng Qiang. In this way, it was confirmed that
The rumor that Peng Yuanzheng is Meng Qiang's nephew.
People from the agency came one after another, and Peng Yuanzheng couldn't help but secretly smile. There seemed to be a lot of people here. And the sweat on the forehead of "General Manager" Wang Hao was oozing out. If this continues, there will be no arrangement at all.
It won't open. Forced by helplessness, Wang Hao quickly asked Huo Guangming to intercept part of it not far away and explain it to him.
Heads and heads from various departments of the county government also came to cheer. Then came some county-level cadres from the city, including Su Yuhuan, the mayor of Xin'an District, and some leaders from Xin'an District.
Although the two did not "deal with" each other very much, since Su Yuhuan took the initiative to come to support him, Peng Yuanzheng could not be rude and asked Wang Hao to "mix up" Su Yuhuan and some county-level cadres from the city with the county leadership.
Be sure to arrange seats at the same level, so don’t neglect.
Li Xueyan and Jia Liang arrived in a van with all the members of the Yunshui Town party and government team. Li Xueyan stood looking at Peng Yuanzheng from a distance with complicated eyes, and slowly walked over with everyone, and when they arrived, she
His face was already full of smiles.
"County Magistrate Peng!" Li Xueyan shook hands with Peng Yuanzheng, her little hands were cold.
"Comrade Xueyan, Lao Jia!...Thank you all for your support!" Peng Yuanzheng sighed inwardly. Just as he was about to say some kind words, Li Xueyan had already let go of his hand and was chatting with Feng Qianru with a smile.
Feng Qianru is acquainted with these cadres in Yunshui Town, and the meeting is quite cordial. (This website...your support is my biggest motivation.)
