Chapter 452 Reception
Today is a day of joy for the newlyweds.
After the wedding was held in the church and photos were taken, it was then moved to a small cocktail party on the woodball court.
The on-site decoration was small and exquisite, with flowers, ribbons, balloons, and scented candles, creating a very romantic and warm atmosphere.
Glasses of wine and drinks, as well as various snacks, fruits and snacks are neatly placed on the dining table.
There was a light green tent set up on the grass, and a small band was auditioning. The Saas wind was blowing and the sound was beautiful.
Today's wedding reception is not considered luxurious and extravagant. In fact, it is mainly about the Xu family's banquet and some social interactions.
Xu's father is one of the prime ministers who serves on the board of directors of Po Leung Kuk and is considered a social celebrity in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong is a city with a mixture of Chinese and Western styles. We hold weddings in both Chinese and Western styles, taking into account the habits of different people.
Starting from 12:30 p.m., guests attending the ceremony and other guests entered the venue one after another. For a while, the venue was full of people, dressed in fragrant clothes and with shadows on their temples.
Then the emcee announced the start of the reception, and after both men and women gave welcome speeches, the atmosphere of the reception became more harmonious and pleasant.
On the grass of the wooden court, the band began to play music, and beautiful melodies floated on the scene.
Guests gathered together in twos and threes, or moved around to socialize, filled with laughter and laughter.
Guan's mother was not very comfortable with this kind of situation, and it was entirely up to them to arrange it. She was discussing other matters with Father Lu and Mother Lu.
After all, for a traditional Chinese like her, tonight's wedding banquet is the most important thing, and everything else is secondary.
Xu's father and Xu's mother took the initiative to take over the leading role of the cocktail party and were responsible for greeting today's guests.
Xu's mother pushed him and motioned to the group of people on the side, "Guests over there, do you want to say hello?"
Xu's father glanced over there and shook his head, "Let him greet you by himself."
There were seven or eight foreigners and Chinese over there holding wine glasses and chatting and laughing, forming a small circle of their own, somewhat different from other people.
Although they were wearing suits, it was easy for everyone to guess their true identities, and they were undoubtedly Jing Cha.
The blond foreigner standing in the middle is Wu Yi, the commander of the Kowloon headquarters, and the other people surrounding him are subordinates.
Guan Zhengfei is just an ordinary police inspector, so he naturally came here to save Lu Dongjie's face.
Xu's father and Xu's mother were not satisfied with this son-in-law before, and had always opposed their relationship.
Regardless of why my daughter married into a rich family, she still wanted to be well-matched, but ended up falling in love with a poor boy.
Especially when they learned that Guan Zhengfei was still serving as a police officer, this made it even more difficult for them to accept it.
But there is no way, this daughter has her own independent opinion, even if she doesn't get married, she will always be in a stalemate.
Fortunately, Guan Zhengfei also had some success, which changed people's perception of him a lot, and they finally relented and allowed the two to get married.
Moreover, he also has a cousin to help him, so he won't be rude when mentioning it in front of relatives and friends in the future.
As the heroes and heroines of this wedding, their every move naturally attracted the attention of the guests.
Guan Zhengfei wore a well-fitting dress and led the bride as she walked among the guests.
Although he is not a talented person, he still has a somewhat manly demeanor in his movements.
Xu Ruoqi is wearing a wedding dress. The style is not exaggerated, it can be said to be a bit conservative, and she looks tall, beautiful and pure.
At this time, the groom and the bride were staying in one place, chatting with a man and a woman dressed very eye-catchingly.
The clothes of the middle-aged man and woman were very fashionable. That kind of fashion was really fashionable, and they were very up to date with the trend.
And dressing up authentically, fashionably and beautifully requires not only free time, but also spare money.
Judging from their appearance, the two of them are definitely not ordinary people.
However, anyone who knows a little bit about the social world can recognize the identity of these two people at a glance, so it is not surprising.
It turned out to be Zhou Qibang and Tan Yueqing, the most active and popular pair of celebrities in the social world.
This couple can be seen on almost many occasions, and they can be called "model workers" in the social and fashion circles.
Guan Zhengfei, a card-carrying bad boy, had no connection with the upper class, so it was Xu Ruoqi who had friendship with them.
Zhou Qibang was born into a famous family, one of the four major families in Hong Kong. The second son of Sir Zhou Xinian was born with a golden key in his mouth.
As a socialite, Mrs. Zhou is very proficient in the cultural things of upper class society.
Half of the credit for the many details of today's cocktail party is due to her guidance.
Lu Dongjie arrived belatedly at the woodball court, and the cocktail party was in full swing.
He had just been dragged by a few little sisters to act as a tool, and they asked him to cooperate unconditionally in taking photos.
He really couldn't laugh or cry. It's not like he's getting married, so why bother with him?
Compared with these bridesmaids and groomsmen who are not doing their jobs properly, Zhang Guorong is considered a more qualified groomsman.
He was greeting the guests seriously at this time, talking and laughing with Fu Sheng and Zhen Ni, chatting about something.
Their fathers, Zhang Huohai and Zhang Renlong, were family friends, so the relationship between the two was naturally not bad.
No matter how you say it, they have been saved by life-saving grace. Both of them should be present to congratulate them today.
Lu Dongjie took advantage of his free time and no one was looking for him, so he went to the dining table to get a bottle of soda, ready to quench his thirst.
At this time, a man came over with a somewhat teasing smile, "Lu Sheng, I've been searching for you for so long."
Lu Dongjie was slightly startled, turned his head and couldn't help but smile, "Sir Li, you are really flattering me today."
This middle-aged man is Li Yaohui, chairman of the Chinese Inspectors Association, and he used to deal with him a lot every year.
Li Yaohui said in a joking tone: "With the help of your cousin, the groom will speed up his career and have a bright future."
Lu Dongjie smiled and waved his hand, "Sir Li, you are joking. I can't help him. It is most practical to rely on yourself."
Li Yaohui held up a cocktail in one hand and handed it to him, "We are all working together, and I propose this glass to you."
Lu Dongjie drank it all in one gulp and continued the topic, "From now on, we will have a cooperative relationship between the police and the people, and we will work together to eliminate evil."
Li Yaohui's eyes flashed imperceptibly, and he smiled boldly, "Thank you very much, Lu Sheng, for your support."
The two of them seemed to be talking politely, but they each clearly expressed their hidden meanings.
Lu Dongjie looked at his leaving figure with a playful smile on his lips.
Li Yaohui was naturally aware of the undercurrents surging during this period. He came here today with the intention of testing his tone.
Lu Dongjie will naturally not get involved in these messy things, so the position he expressed just now is very clear.
A small incident happened in the past two days, but it suddenly touched the sensitive nerves of many people.
Former Yau Ma Tei Police Sergeant Tsang Kai-wing is suspected of violating the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance and is officially wanted by the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
On April 30, 1975, Tsang Qi-wing was sentenced to three years in prison by the collegial panel in a conspiracy case that was not adjudicated in absentia.
However, he disappeared while on probation. According to sources, he smuggled himself to Taiwan on a fishing boat in 1975 and is now in Taipei with other corrupt officials who have absconded.
Former retired coach of the Jingcha football team, Tsang Kik Wing, who served in the police for more than 32 years, is known as "Tsang Bie Cha".
Because he was a senior sergeant when he was in the police force and was stationed at the Yau Ma Tei Police Station for many years, his relationship network is very complicated.
At this time, the Independent Commission Against Corruption chose to hunt down this key figure. Although form is more important than substance, the signal it sent is thought-provoking.
Is this a knock on the wall, or is it an expression of determination to never compromise against the Jingtui corruption group?
The situation has now reached a point where the two sides are incompatible with each other, and any slight disturbance may trigger a conflict.
And whether this incident will become a trigger and the straw that breaks the camel's back, no one can say for sure.
Lu Dongjie smiled nonchalantly, then walked around and continued to greet the guests attending today's cocktail party.
