The steward's mother returned to the consul's mansion with her "prospective son-in-law", planning to discuss the wedding date of the couple with her in-laws and try to determine the wedding date as soon as possible.
"Auntie, let's go in!"
When Guan Mu came here for the first time, she couldn't help but look around: "Xiao Zhang, your family is really big!"
"Auntie, in addition to the living area, there is also a state banquet room, fitness room, chef, audio and video room, library, gold and silverware room, porcelain room, guest reception hall, management office area, as well as the east and west halls.
.
The East Hall is a place for entertaining journalists; the West Hall is an informal reception room. If relatives and friends arrive, they will choose to receive them in the West Hall."
Zhang Guoxuan spoke eloquently.
Guan Mu nodded, feeling a little uneasy: "Then are we going to the west hall? We will meet later. Is there anything we need to pay attention to?"
She regretted coming here alone.
If the child's father is also present, it can save a lot of trouble.
"That's not necessary." Zhang Guoxuan shook his head, "Auntie, you don't have to worry. My dad is not at home. Keep everything simple. The west hall is rarely used. We can just go directly to see my grandma and the others."
"That's good. Auntie, I'm not afraid of trouble, but I'm afraid of losing etiquette and making a joke."
The housekeeper couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Guoxuan quickly comforted him: "Auntie, just treat this place as your own home. You really don't have to be restrained."
"Mom, don't be nervous."
Guan Tong took his mother's arm.
The first time she came, she was very nervous, but she got used to it after a few more visits.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the living area.
As soon as Zhang Guoxuan entered the door, he shouted:
"Grandma, we are back."
"Is Tongtong here?" Li Dajuan looked at Guan Mu on the side and couldn't help asking: "Who is this?"
"Grandma, this is my mother."
Guan Tong immediately introduced.
"Oh, it turns out that Tongtong's mother is here." Li Dajuan glared at her precious grandson and couldn't help "blaming": "Why didn't you call back in advance? So that the family could be prepared."
Unexpectedly, the in-laws came, and it seemed that the marriage was promising.
She felt happier than eating honey.
"Grandma, I want to give you a surprise."
Zhang Guoxuan chuckled.
Yang Huaqing came over with Zhang Jiaqi and immediately said hello: "Mom Tongtong, welcome to our home."
"Auntie, this is my mother." Leslie Cheung pointed at his sister-in-law and introduced: "This person next to me is my sister-in-law."
After some pleasantries, the housekeeper took the initiative to talk about the marriage of her two children.
Li Dajuan was overjoyed when he heard this: "Mother Tongtong, Guoxuan is a filial child. He knew that his grandfather and I wanted to have a grandson, so we wanted to get married as soon as possible."
"Haha, let's not talk about you. In fact, Tongtong's father and I are the same. We want to have our grandson as soon as possible. Alas, you said that young people nowadays are getting married later than the other, and some are not even planning to have children. It is better to get married early.
It saves people worry.”
Guan Mu agreed with a smile.
It's good to be in a hurry to embrace your grandson, otherwise when the "prospective son-in-law" comes out of society and sees the colorful world, he might change his mind one day.
Seeing this, Zhang Jiaqi patted her eldest nephew on the shoulder and reminded him in a low voice: "Guo Ji, you see how sensible Guo Xuan is. You, the eldest brother, should work harder."
"Sister-in-law, I'm only a sophomore, so I'm not in a hurry."
Zhang Guoji was not moved at all.
"Tell me, what kind of girls are you looking for? There are many beautiful girls in my sister-in-law's office, of all types. Do you want to introduce them to you?"
"No need, I'd better find it myself!"
"Why are you so stubborn? Do you want to imitate your uncle?" Zhang Jiaqi joked.
"Sister-in-law, as the saying goes, don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. Speaking of which, you are also a person who has suffered from pressure to marry. Shouldn't you be considerate of me?"
Zhang Guoxuan said with a helpless face.
Zhang Jiaqi suddenly became angry with shame: "My sister-in-law is doing this for your own good. You are the eldest grandson of our old Zhang family. Your grandparents have great expectations for you. Don't let them worry about you."
"Ahem, sister-in-law, don't worry, I know what's going on."
Zhang Guoji shrugged.
On the other side, Li Dajuan and Guan Mu were already discussing the specific wedding date. As for the bride price, it didn't matter at all. The two parties just mentioned it casually.
"Mom Tongtong, what do you think of this summer vacation? Our family has a villa in Zhucheng, which can be used as a wedding room for the two of them."
"Summer vacation is quite suitable, but can Guoxuan's father make it back in time?"
Ever since she learned the true identity of her daughter's boyfriend, Guan's mother has deliberately paid attention to the news, especially the news related to the consul.
As we all know, the Consul is currently on an inspection tour in Venezuela, and will later go to Africa, Europe and other places. There is a high probability that he will not be able to return before the summer vacation.
Zhang Chongxin sighed and interjected: "Guoxuan's father's identity is quite sensitive. It's better not to attend the wedding to avoid attracting attention from the outside world. If he is away, we can make the wedding a little more grand."
"That's it..."
The housekeeper was a little reluctant.
This is a dignified federal governor and his daughter's future father-in-law. It would be a pity if he was absent from the wedding.
Li Dajuan saw that the other party's face was wrong, so she immediately changed her mind: "Tongtong's mother, I think this is the best alternative. Let's wait one more year until Guoxuan's father comes back before getting married. What do you think?"
"No, no, no, just arrange it during the summer vacation!"
The housekeeper quickly reacted and waved her hands repeatedly.
She was afraid that this trivial matter would affect her daughter's marriage. In her opinion, it was better to get married first to avoid any accidents.
"Okay, in a few days, our two families will officially meet and then choose a date to get engaged."
Li Dajuan said impatiently.
"No problem." Mother Guan nodded with a smile, and then said half-jokingly: "Actually, I don't have to wait until the summer vacation. We can just take advantage of the few days left during the Chinese New Year and the relatives are free, and let them get married.
Done."
"mom……"
Guan Tong shyly pulled her mother's arm.
Li Dajuan shook his head: "It's too hasty during the Chinese New Year. Although their wedding can't be a big deal, it can't be too aggrieved."
Zhang Jiaqi immediately interjected:
"It's really a rush to celebrate the New Year. Let's just talk about the bride's wedding dress. From design to production, it takes at least two or three months."
After hearing this, Guan's mother couldn't help but be a little stunned. At the same time, she also had an idea of the life of a wealthy family.
She has also attended many weddings, many of which were from wealthy families, but none of them were so extravagant.
Forget it, I'd better not interfere.
To avoid embarrassment.
Finally, the wedding date was set for July 12th.
…
Maracaibo Bay, early morning.
Zhang Hao suddenly received a call from home.
"What? The second child is getting married?"
Yang Huaqing hurriedly explained: "It's not now, it's this summer vacation, July 12th."
"Why are you in such a hurry? Besides, I definitely won't be able to come back during the summer vacation." Zhang Hao frowned.
"This is what Mom meant. You also know that the old man is not in good health and has long wanted to have a great-grandson."
Yang Huaqing explained casually.
"There's no need to be in such a hurry? Can't you wait until I come back? Anyway, it will only be postponed for half a year at most."
Zhang Hao didn't want to miss his son's wedding.
Yang Huaqing persuaded patiently: "What Dad means is that I don't want to delay your work. Besides, you are a consul now and the attention is too high..."
Zhang Hao immediately understood his wife's concerns.
He sighed helplessly and interrupted: "Okay, you are right. Let's do it. I will attend the wedding via video then."
"As long as you figure it out."
"I'm not at home. You should worry more about your second son's marriage. If you need anything, just tell me and I'll figure it out."
Zhang Hao warned.
"Don't worry about things at home. My parents are here to help me. You should pay more attention to your safety outside."
Yang Huaqing also warned.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Hao immediately called his second son. The father and son chatted for more than an hour, and the only topic was how to be a qualified husband.
The call had just ended and Zhang Hao was about to take a sip of tea to moisten his throat when Yang Haoxuan suddenly rushed in.
"Brother-in-law, when shall we set off?"
"What's wrong? Didn't you plan to stay here with your girlfriend? Why did you change your mind again?"
Zhang Hao said angrily.
Yang Haoxuan angrily threw out a photo. Zhang Hao picked it up and took a look. The photo showed a couple holding hands. It looked like a street photo.
"Hey, isn't this girl your new girlfriend?"
"Brother-in-law, don't talk nonsense, we haven't officially confirmed our relationship yet!" Yang Haoxuan quickly corrected him.
Zhang Hao raised the photo in his hand: "Where did this photo come from?"
"Someone sent it to me." Yang Haoxuan replied.
Zhang Hao suddenly understood: "It's not obvious. Someone wants to ruin the relationship between you two. Maybe the person who sent the photo is Dong Hui's ex-boyfriend. You don't even have this sense, do you?"
"Brother-in-law, this matter is not that simple."
Yang Haoxuan said angrily.
"Really? How do you say it?" Zhang Hao asked.
Yang Haoxuan grabbed the water glass on the table, took a sip of water, and explained while suppressing his anger:
"The man in the photo is no ordinary person. He is the immediate boss of that naughty bitch. Moreover, he has been married for a long time. The two of them are not in a legitimate relationship."
I really get angrier the more I think about it.
If it weren't for someone with a high density, he would have almost become an honest man taking over, which is so fucking disgusting.
Hearing this, Zhang Hao immediately became serious: "Have you investigated everything clearly? The photo may be of P? According to Dong Hui's family background, he shouldn't be willing to be a mistress?"
If this is true, it is simply a slap in the face of him as a consul.
"It's true. I asked someone specifically to find out. This couple is indeed having an affair in private. Many people in their company know about it."
"Fuck, that's too much to bully."
Zhang Hao directly said a curse word.
"Brother-in-law, I don't want to stay in this crappy place for a moment anymore. Can we leave tomorrow?"
Yang Haoxuan urged.
This matter has spread, and he dare not go out now for fear of being recognized. After all, as a grown man, it is really embarrassing.
Zhang Hao shook his head: "Not tomorrow, we have to stay for a few days, and we won't be able to leave until the day after tomorrow at the latest."
"The day after tomorrow? Where should we go next?"
Yang Haoxuan asked immediately.
"The next stop is Caracas, the capital of Venezuela. Why do you ask?"
"Caracas is too close. I'd better go ahead and go directly to Rio de Janeiro! Let's meet there." Yang Haoxuan said simply.
"Why are you leaving in such a hurry? Running away won't solve the problem. Don't you want to see with your own eyes what will happen to that couple?" Zhang Hao said with a ruthless look on his face.
If you follow this line of investigation carefully, you will definitely find a lot of problems. Even if it is the most minor result, the two of them will lose their iron rice bowl.
Although Yang Haoxuan was a little tempted, when he thought of other people's eyes, he insisted: "Forget it, their quality has nothing to do with me. I feel sick when I see them now, so it's better to keep out of sight."
"Okay, then you go to Rio de Janeiro first and relax. I'll rush there as soon as possible."
Zhang Hao reached out and patted his brother-in-law on the shoulder.
In the final analysis, this matter is still his fault.
Yang Haoxuan finally showed a smile: "Well, if I have a boat ticket, I will leave today."
"I'll arrange a few more bodyguards for you. You must pay attention to safety on the road and don't run around when you have nothing to do."
Zhang Hao reminded.
"Brother-in-law, don't worry, I'm an adult and can't be thrown away." Yang Haoxuan patted his chest.
"This is not the mainland, so be careful and you won't make a big mistake."
"Okay, I remember it."
Yang Haoxuan nodded solemnly.
…
After his brother-in-law left, Zhang Hao called Hu Changgao and immediately called him over.
"Consul, are you looking for me?"
Zhang Hao got straight to the point: "Mayor Hu, I recently received a report letter..."
When Hu Changgao heard the word "report", his heart suddenly skipped a beat. The anti-corruption scandal at the Escondida Copper Mine had already spread throughout the federation.
He expressed his position on the spot: "Consul, no matter who is involved in this matter, I promise on behalf of the city that we will investigate it to the end and never let go of any moth."
"Very good." Zhang Hao nodded with satisfaction, then took out the photo and handed it to Hu Changgao: "The two people in the photo seem to have an improper relationship between men and women. Please check it carefully and don't wrongly accuse a good person.
, but don’t let a bad person go.”
"Consul, don't worry. I will form an investigation team when I get back and start the investigation immediately."
Hu Changgao took the photo and breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be a false alarm.
Compared with using power for personal gain, the problem of male and female style is undoubtedly much lighter, and even somewhat unworthy of mentioning. The most important thing is that this matter will not easily implicate other people.
Zhang Hao said with a straight face, "You should work harder and try your best to provide the results before I leave."
"Don't worry, we guarantee to complete the task."
"Okay, go and do your work!" Zhang Hao waved his hand.
As soon as Hu Changgao returned to the office, he immediately convened a meeting with relevant personnel.
Soon, someone recognized the two people in the photo.
"Mayor Hu, I probably know what's going on. This matter is not big or small. It shouldn't be as serious as we thought."
"Old Zheng, stop being so secretive and tell me quickly."
Hu Changgao urged.
Lao Zheng pointed to the young woman in the photo and introduced: "If I'm not mistaken, this is the new girlfriend of the consul's brother-in-law Yang Haoxuan and staff member Yang Haoxuan."
