This is a hotel that cannot even be ranked as a three-star hotel. It mainly undertakes wedding banquets, full moon banquets, and serves residents of surrounding communities.
Most of the families who choose to hold banquets here are from out of town.
The locals don't like such a low-end place, and they would rather spend tens of thousands more to choose the Kempinski two streets away.
Some respectable locals didn't bother to come when they heard that their relatives were holding a wedding banquet here.
Maybe it's because I feel I've lost face.
Xing Lina's cousin's in-laws had this idea at this time, feeling that their daughter was being entrusted to someone else.
The generation born in the 1980s is basically an only child in the family. The couple is actually not willing to find such a good daughter to marry such an in-law. If they didn't respect their daughter's ideas, they would really want to regret the marriage.
What's more, the couple are disabled.
Although many people now say they won't discriminate and won't give up, when they encounter such a situation, they always feel a little uncomfortable in their hearts.
Xing Lina's uncle lost his legs when he was young and has been living in a wheelchair. He is optimistic and cheerful. He used to be a representative of the National Disabled Persons Basketball Team and is now the basketball coach of the Shanghai Disabled Persons' Federation.
Xing Lina's aunt lost her right leg due to an accident, and she couldn't see anything with the prosthetic leg. She just walked a little slopingly. In terms of personality, she is a woman as warm as water, maybe the eldest daughter like her mother, and she is very tough in action.
Even though Xia Hong is a district leader and his younger brother Xia Jun is a ten-year-old criminal police officer, when the two siblings meet this older sister, they are too well-behaved to speak loudly.
at this time.
There was a family of four in the hotel box. Xia Hong and Xia Jun were standing, while the eldest brother-in-law Wang Zhiyi and the eldest sister Xia Ying were sitting. They all looked sad.
"What should I say now? Are there any free banquet halls in other hotels?" Xia Hong asked his younger brother Xia Jun.
Xia Jun smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "Really not, everyone makes the reservation at least a week in advance. We want it tomorrow, how can we make it in time?"
The eldest brother-in-law Wang Zhiyi also said: "If it doesn't work out, I'll discuss it with my in-laws. It's not necessary. I think this place is pretty good. Why do we have to find some star-rated hotel? It's so expensive."
Xia Hong had no choice but to look at his sister Xia Ying.
Xia Ying sighed and said: "The couple is right. They are just a daughter. They want to give their daughter a decent wedding. This is understandable. Our family is not short of the two money. It is just a temporary proposal.
, somewhat unkind."
Xia Hong nodded. She has two daughters herself, so she actually understands this idea.
You know, my daughter will help take care of you two disabled people in the future. If you agree to marry into your family, you are already extremely open-minded. If it were me, I would definitely not agree.
Therefore, she didn't say any angry words. If there were problems, let's solve them. She thought about whether to find a relationship.
Maybe he saw what she was thinking.
Xia Ying said hurriedly: "Ah Hong, please stop getting involved. Your current identity is too sensitive, so don't worry about such a trivial matter."
The eldest brother-in-law Wang Zhiyi and his younger brother Xia Jun also feel the same way. It is rare for the old Xia family to have a promising big shot, so there must be no surprises.
But.
Xia Jun, the only person with whom I have some connections, doesn't have the connections to book a hotel now, which is a bit confusing.
The four of them sat opposite each other, all looking helpless and angry.
Just when a few people were at a loss what to do.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, accompanied by laughter like silver bells.
"Haha, cousin, you are so good. I drove all the way from Jinling..."
"I can't help it. I'm too nervous. I'll practice again in the afternoon. It's only about ten kilometers from Xiaoman's house to here anyway."
"You, you need to practice hard, you almost hit the guardrail just now..."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Hearing the laughter, several people in the room had a smile on their lips.
The box door opened, and the eldest cousin Wang Xiasheng, and the two sisters Xing Lina and Xia Shuyan walked in, talking and laughing.
I saw a few people in the house.
Xing Lina walked directly behind her aunt, put her arm around her shoulders, and said with a smile: "Auntie, the wedding reception has been settled."
Aunt Xia Ying patted Xing Lina's hand and said with a kind smile: "Nana has to come. Your brother is too stupid."
Wang Xiasheng stood aside and smiled silly, then said hello to his second aunt Xia Hong and uncle Xia Jun, and finally asked his father Wang Zhiyi if he wanted to drink some water or go to the toilet.
Wang Xiasheng is a filial and considerate son. Except for his somewhat weak character, there is nothing wrong with him.
As for why he is so soft-tempered, it probably has something to do with his two disabled parents. Everyone knows this. It is due to the environment in which he grew up.
Children who grow up in this kind of environment basically have two extreme personalities, either very rebellious or very filial.
Fortunately, Wang Xiasheng is the latter, otherwise he would be in trouble.
Xia Hong, who was sitting aside, glanced at Xing Lina, who was as close to her sister as mother and daughter, and suddenly thought of something.
Thought for a moment.
Xia Hong stood up and said, "You guys chat first, I'll go to the bathroom."
Few people doubted his presence.
Xia Hong walked out of the door with his bag, looked back at the box, slowly closed the door, took out his mobile phone and walked towards the end of the corridor.

"Xiao Lu, I'm Xia Hong, I'm asking you to do something."
···
Arrive at Pudong Pier in the evening.
The four of them, Lu Xiaochuan, left the team and walked directly towards the hotel not far from the pier.
Mandarin Oriental, Pudong.
As one of the top five five-star hotels in Shanghai, it is naturally one of the best in terms of location and hotel environment.
The most expensive presidential suite costs 160,000 yuan a night, with an area of 788 square meters, a floor height of 4.8 meters, and its own swimming pool, sauna, etc.
Lu Xiaochuan was not that wasteful. The four of them split up and booked three double-bed rooms, which cost more than 8,000 points in total.
Lu Xiaochuan lived in a 101-square-meter exclusive suite with river view. Han Tianzhen said she liked the Pearl Tower and lived in a Pearl Tower suite. Ding Yangyang and his girlfriend Ding Yang chose a cheaper business suite. After all, they paid
It's Lu Xiaochuan's money.
The four of them agreed to meet in the lobby in an hour and then go shopping and have dinner together.
Lu Xiaochuan was enjoying a hot bath in the bathroom when his cell phone suddenly rang.
I took it and saw that it was an unfamiliar number from Jinling.
After thinking about it, I decided to pick it up and listen to it.
"Xiao Lu, I'm Xia Hong, I'm asking you to do something."
Lu Xiaochuan jumped up and sat up. He did not expect that Xia Hong would call him.
Could it be that something happened to Xia Shuyan?
Without any hesitation, Lu Xiaochuan blurted out: "Auntie, if you have anything to say, I will do my best if I can do it."
5 minutes later.
Lu Xiaochuan hung up the phone and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
I thought something happened to Xia Shuyan, but luckily it wasn't, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do.
Putting down his cell phone, he stood up and wrapped his lower body in a bath towel. Lu Xiaochuan walked to the study room and picked up the phone on the desk.
"Hello, I want to see your hotel manager. Yes, come directly to my room."
Not long after.
The door bell rang.
Lu Xiaochuan is also fully dressed, wearing a Versace autumn casual suit and a pair of Hermès calfskin British shoes.
"Please come in."
The hotel manager used the universal card to enter the door, stood on the porch respectfully and asked: "Hello, Mr. Lu, I am Wu Yali, the lobby manager. I am happy to serve you."
Lu Xiaochuan twisted his cuffs and said, "I have a friend who is having a wedding tomorrow. You can find a way to deal with it. All the expenses will be taken from my room card. I will top up 1 million in a while. If it is not enough, you can tell me."
The lobby manager was startled at first, instinctively thinking that there would be no free banquet hall tomorrow, but when he heard that Lu Xiaochuan was about to recharge 1 million, he immediately lost his composure.
Even for the Cultural Oriental Hotel, it is rare to have such a large order, and it is a single transaction in one day.
If this is what happens next, her performance this month and this year’s bonus will not be taken lightly!
However, tomorrow is Saturday, and the banquet hall is indeed full.
Wu Yali gritted her teeth, thought over and over, and finally made a suggestion, "Mr. Lu, I wonder if your friend would mind walking outdoors. The garden near the river in our hotel usually hosts some Western-style buffet weddings."
Lu Xiaochuan frowned. He should ask Aunt Xia about this.
Seeing this, Wu Yali hurriedly added: "If possible, our hotel also has a special fleet for picking up brides, two Rolls-Royces, one is a Phantom, one is a Cullinan, and three supercars, Lamborghinis,
I can help you apply for Ferrari, Bentley, etc. This will save your friends trouble, right?"
Lu Xiaochuan didn't understand much about this, so he hesitated and said, "Let's do this. I'll give you a phone call and you can communicate with her yourself. As for the cost, don't disclose it. I'll pay all the fees here. As long as the other party is satisfied, how much is it?
It will be all right."
Wu Yali took a look at what Lu Xiaochuan was wearing, nodded respectfully, took out her mobile phone, and wrote down the number.
"Mr. Lu, don't worry. I have also hosted many weddings. I will definitely organize them for you."
Lu Xiaochuan smiled slightly and indicated that she could go about her business.
As for Xia Hong, just think of it as compensation for Xia Shuyan.
After all, he was the one who ruined her daughter's innocence. It only cost a few million, but he could still get it.
