Since the No. 1 leader who made great contributions to the Chinese economy visited the South and confirmed the correctness of reform and opening up, the Chinese economy has created a miracle and has been developing at a rapid pace in the past thirty years.
Economic development has driven the construction of cities. As the imperial capital, Yanjing has now become one of the internationally renowned metropolises.
In Yanjing, there are many kinds of luxury hotels, including an astonishing number of five-star hotels.
In comparison, Yanjing Hotel, which has a reputation as a century-old hotel, is one of the most famous five-star hotels in Yanjing.
Yanjing Hotel is located on the east side of the majestic Beijing, adjacent to the downtown business district, and only a five-minute walk from the imperial city of the Forbidden City. It has four buildings from different historical periods and nearly a thousand guest rooms of different styles. It is luxurious and elegant.
Its decoration style is well-known at home and abroad.
A century-old store.
This is not the real reason why Yanjing Hotel is famous.
It is really famous because it not only carries the functionality of a hotel, but also carries the mission of a special political identity - it is the first choice place for important state events and meetings!
The engagement ceremony of Emperor Yan Qing and Chen Ning was held at the Yanjing Hotel.
This also confirms the importance and influence of this engagement from the side!
After all, one of them represents the Yan family and the other represents the Chen family. The combination of these two families is enough to attract the attention of everyone within the system.
And almost everyone in the system is proud to participate in this engagement ceremony!
In addition, all people in the system know that participating in such an engagement ceremony will have a great impact on their future career - for them, the engagement ceremony is a God-given communication platform, and they can't see those who they wanted to see in the past.
The big guys who arrive will show up one by one.
The engagement ceremony was scheduled for ten o'clock in the morning.
At half past seven, the armed police blocked the surrounding roads, and there were countless hidden stakes hidden around the hotel to protect the safety of the guests. The defense level was considered to be the highest level!
As Emperor Yan Qing's friend since childhood and one of Emperor Yan Qing's loyal henchmen, Fan Xian received this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, along with his fiancée Lin Ying.
"Honey, will all the big shots come today?" Sitting in a car with a photo of the Yanjing Municipal Party Committee hanging on it, Lin Ying looked very excited, because... she knew that the entire Lin family, except for her grandfather, the man who had just left
Apart from the old man who had retired from the front line and was qualified to attend the marriage between the Chen and Yan families, she was the only member of the Lin family who could attend the engagement ceremony.
This is enough to make her excited and proud!
Compared with Lin Ying, Fan Xian, who was born in the Fan family and was regarded as a key training target, also seemed very proud: "Of course, not to mention the marriage between the Chen family and the Yan family, even if it is one of the two families, those
Big men will also appreciate you."
"I wonder if the old man of the Chen family, the founding hero of the country, will show up today?" Lin Ying blinked, his face full of anticipation.
Fan Xian shook his head simply: "He will not attend!"
"Why?" Lin Ying looked confused.
Fan Xian said with a matter-of-fact expression: "The No. 1 leader will check his mood when he meets him. Do you think such a person will show up easily?"
"That's true." Lin Ying nodded in acquiescence.
Perhaps sensing the disappointment in Lin Ying's eyes, Fan Xian smiled and stroked the hair in front of Lin Ying's forehead and said: "Xiao Ying, let me tell you the truth, everyone who can attend the engagement ceremony today is
He is a person who stands at the pinnacle of power now or in the future!"
"Yes." Lin Ying leaned in Fan Xian's arms like a bird, with a satisfied look on his face.
Obviously, she is very satisfied to be able to reach Fan Xian, and she even thinks it is the greatest luck in her life!
Fan Xian and Lin Ying took the invitation and passed the three checkpoints at the front and back. When they arrived at the Yanjing Hotel, the parking lot was already filled with all kinds of cars.
The prices of those cars are slightly inferior to those in the parking lots of some awesome five-star hotels, but...the license plates of those cars are enough to make people intimidated!
At half past eight, there were already many guests in the largest lobby of the hotel. These guests were of prominent status, but the characters who often appeared on the news network did not appear.
Compared with ordinary upper-class gatherings, although the atmosphere in the hall looks very relaxed overall, it cannot erase the trace of depression in the relaxation. After all, these guests are all people who have lived in high positions, and they are extremely careful in what they say and do.
cautious.
In addition, what is different from upper-class gatherings is that the waiters in the hall are all insiders, either department-level or division-level cadres - for them, being able to become waiters in this hall today,
In addition to being excited, their hearts are filled with excitement!
While several guests were chatting quietly in a circle, they were in a luxurious suite of the hotel.
Chen Ning, who joined the Marine Corps at the age of fifteen, finally took off his green military uniform today and wore a white evening dress instead, revealing a large area of skin.
Her skin is not fair like most white-collar beauties pursue, but is wheat-colored, and she looks full of health.
At this time, she was sitting in front of the mirror, looking at herself in the mirror after being carefully dressed up by the makeup artist. Her expression was very complicated, including helplessness and pain, as well as a trace of excitement that could not be erased!
For this family-style marriage, she, like everyone who has experienced such a thing, is unwilling deep down, but she knows that her resistance will not have any effect, and she can only sacrifice herself for the interests of the family.
This was the reason for her helplessness and pain.
As for being happy...it's because she knows that not only Old Mrs. Chen is coming today, but also the cousin whom she regards as her idol and her goal!
"Bang bang!"
Suddenly, there was a slight knock on the door.
Hearing the knock on the door, Chen Ning instantly regained his cold expression and whispered: "Come in."
Crunch!
With a soft sound, the door was pushed open, and Emperor Yan Qing in a black suit walked in from the door.
Like Chen Ning, today's Emperor Yan Qing has been carefully dressed. The suit is the latest custom-made and fits extremely well, supporting his slender figure. His hair is meticulously combed and he has a faint smile. The whole person looks impressive.
A feeling of grandeur and publicity.
"Xiao Ning." Emperor Yan Qing walked slowly to Chen Ning, put his hands gently on Chen Ning's shoulders, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Mr. Chen would also attend our engagement ceremony.
.”
Shocked by Emperor Yan Qing's hands on her shoulders, Chen Ning's body stiffened instantly, and the disgust in her eyes was not concealed at all. However, she did not get angry, but asked calmly: "Is something wrong?"
"I'm here to talk to you. At nine o'clock, we will go down together to meet the big shots." Although the disgust in Chen Ning's eyes could be clearly detected, Emperor Yan Qing did not feel dissatisfied at all and remained calm.
A calm smile on his face.
For him, marrying Chen Ning is not only for his own and family interests, but also to conquer Chen Ning, a military beauty.
You know, all the red young men in the entire imperial capital are proud to be able to get a woman from the Chen family. As for marrying Chen Ning, who is known as the most beautiful girl in the army, it is every red young man’s dream!
For Emperor Yan Qing, if Chen Ning was completely obedient to him, his interest would be greatly reduced.
After all, what you can’t get is always the best. Only when you succeed in challenging things can you feel a sense of accomplishment!
After hearing Emperor Yan Qing's words, Chen Ning said nothing.
She knew very well that when those who stood at the pinnacle of power arrived later, she and Emperor Yan Qing would indeed go down to greet them, and not only them, but also the heads of the Chen family and the Yan family would personally greet them.
In a sense, because of Old Mrs. Chen, the Chen family’s energy in the military is much greater than that of the Yan family. After all, many people were mentioned by Old Mrs. Chen back then, and they always have awe and gratitude towards Old Mrs. Chen.
In such a situation, they are naturally willing to do something for the Chen family.
But... in terms of political power, the Chen family is inferior to the Yan family!
More than one member of the Yan family has entered the Politburo, and the current head of the Yan family has two words behind him: member of the Standing Committee.
When Emperor Yan Qing was alone with Chen Ning for the first time, Chen Jianguo, the contemporary head of the Chen family, met with some powerful figures from the Military Commission in the presidential suite, including the top leaders of the major military regions.
"Old Chen, as far as I know, your grandson Chen Fei is not married yet, right?" The hall of the suite was filled with military bosses in casual clothes. One of them had white hair and sharp eyes.
The old man with a slightly big mouth suddenly asked.
As soon as the old man's words came out, everyone else turned their attention to this old man who spoke his mind in the NJ Military Region and was nicknamed Li Dazui.
Li Yunfeng!
The top leader of the nj military region!
"Old Li, why are you asking this?" Chen Jianguo's heart moved and he looked at Li Yunfeng.
"Haha, Lao Chen, it goes without saying that Lao Li wants to marry you." Since everyone here is a supporter of the Chen family, everyone should speak more casually.
The person who spoke this time was a big shot from the Southwest Military Region.
"Hey! Lao Yun, I know you also want to sell your granddaughter to Lao Chen's house. It's a pity that I got there first." Li Yunfeng didn't hide anything, and said straight to the point: "Old Chen, I'll tell you the truth, I'm older
My granddaughter Li Ying is not married yet, so I thought that your Chen Fei would be a good match for her, what do you think?"
"Chen Fei." Chen Jianguo pondered thoughtfully for two seconds, and then smiled lightly: "Since you have spoken, Lao Li, naturally I can't refuse. Let's let them meet first, if there is no objection from both sides.
, I have no objection!”
"Haha, okay, then it's settled!" Li Yunfeng laughed heartily after hearing Chen Jianguo's reply.
The other military bosses had expressions of regret, regretting that they were too slow to speak and allowed Li Yunfeng to snatch away the "most outstanding" fourth-generation descendant of the Chen family.
In the following time, although some military bosses were also interested in other children of the Chen family, they did not speak out as blatantly as Li Yunfeng did. Instead, they chatted about some relaxed topics - they planned to talk to Chen Jianguo alone afterwards.
After all, it would be too much if everyone proposes marriage to the Chen family...
"Okay, it's time for them to arrive. Let's catch up on old times later and go down to greet them first." At 8:50, Chen Jianguo suggested.
Facing Chen Jianguo's proposal, the military bosses did not have any objections and all stood up and followed Chen Jianguo out of the presidential suite.
Once they came, they knew that the big shots would arrive one by one, and it was right for them to come out to greet them.
And most importantly, they learned that Mrs. Chen was coming too!!
For them, they don’t have to go down to meet those big shots, but... they must go to meet the old man of the Chen family!!
Mr. Chen is indeed coming.
However... he did not come alone, but brought Chen Fan and Susan with him.
In the old-style stretched Hongqi car, Mr. Chen sat in the center, Chen Fan and Susan sat beside him, and Xiao Zhu was responsible for driving.
Looking through the reflector at the three people laughing and chatting in the back seat of the car, Xiaozhu knew very well: after today, the name Chen Fan will be completely resounding throughout the Forbidden City!!
