After the ring matter was settled, Qin Yu and Meng Yao rushed back without stopping. Then, Meng Yao went back to his home, while Qin Yu returned to the hotel, changed clothes, and prepared to attend the engagement party.
Due to simplicity, there were only two tables for the engagement banquet this time, but the hotel was arranged by the Meng family, and Qin Yu had been famous for that hotel for a long time.
The Diaoyutai State Guesthouse may not necessarily be the most luxuriously decorated and expensive hotel in the capital, but it is definitely recognized as the highest-end hotel by everyone. Being able to have a banquet in the State Guesthouse is a status symbol.
As evening approached, Qin Yu brought his parents and Qin Lan to the State Guesthouse. Staff members were already waiting there. They led Qin Yu to a box inside. There were two original long tables inside. Qin Yu made an estimate.
, it can seat about thirty people.
There are only four people on my side, and only some direct relatives are arranged on the Meng family's side, so two tables are enough.
After making an agreement with the hotel, Qin Yu waited at the door with his parents when Meng Yao's call came. However, it was already dinner time. From time to time, cars parked at the door of the State Guesthouse, and people got out of the cars.
They are all men above middle age.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Qin Yu saw his father's nervous expression and asked in confusion.
"Xiaoyu, look at the guy who got off the car, does he often appear on TV news? There is also this guy, whom I know, who is the governor of HN Province." Qin's father said nervously.
"Dad, this is a state guesthouse. It's normal for these people to appear here." Qin Yu smiled, "Look at us standing here, and these people are still looking at us."
Qin Yu was telling the truth. Those who could appear in the state guesthouse were all from that circle. How could these people not know each other? However, Qin Yu's family was obviously all strangers, which naturally aroused the curiosity of these people.
"Qin Yu, what is the origin of Meng Yao's family? You can hold an engagement banquet here." This time, even Qin Lan, who had always been carefree, spoke softly. Even though her brain was slowing down, she also saw something, not to mention
She is not stupid to begin with.
She couldn't believe it to death that she could book a banquet at the State Guesthouse without any background. Look at these people who come in and out of the State Guesthouse. They are all regulars on TV. They are all stomping their feet. The areas under their respective jurisdictions
The existence of Dou San Dou.
"Lan Lan, Meng Yao's grandfather is the one from before... Don't talk nonsense for a while." Qin's father said from the side.
"Damn it." Qin Lan cursed again and looked at Qin Yu with a strange look. After a while, she patted Qin Yu on the shoulder and said: "Qin Yu, you can do it. Unknowingly, you turned to the equivalent of
The princess in ancient times has become a relative of the emperor, can I also take advantage of it, so that I can move around in the local area in the future?"
"If you are not afraid that Uncle San will break your legs, then you can try walking sideways." Qin Yu replied with a smile.
"It's boring, I can't even let you have sex." Qin Lan curled her lips and said angrily.
…
The Meng family did not let Qin Yu wait for long. Ten minutes later, a motorcade drove from a distance. The leader was a Hongqi RV. Seeing the Hongqi RV, the vehicles near the State Guesthouse all gave way. Unexpectedly,
A few people even stayed where they were.
"Isn't this Mr. Meng's special car?"
"Yes, Mr. Meng has rarely been out and about since he retired. Why are you here at the State Guesthouse today?"
"It's not just Mr. Meng who's here. Look at the car behind this. It's Secretary Meng's car, and the other cars behind are all from the Meng family. This time, the entire Meng family is out."
Amid the discussion of the people on the side, Qin Yu, Qin's father, and Qin's mother walked up to him with smiles. The car stopped. Meng Yao got off the first car. However, Meng Yao did not leave after getting off the car.
He went to the car again and helped his grandfather out.
"Mr. Meng."
Seeing Meng Wangtian, Father Qin's expression was very excited. He wanted to extend his hand, but felt it was inappropriate, so he took it back.
"We'll be a family from now on. We don't have to see anyone outside like this." Meng Wangtian took the initiative to extend his hand, and Qin's father quickly stepped forward to hold it.
"Haha, father is right, we will be in-laws from now on." Meng Feng got out of the second car and said with a smile.
Qin Yu looked at the twenty or so people who got off the six cars. He only knew six or seven of them, and the others were all meeting for the first time.
"Grandpa, hurry in, it's windy outside." Meng Yao helped Meng Wangtian and said.
"Silly girl, grandpa is not a patient, so this little bit of wind is nothing." Meng Wangtian let go of his granddaughter's hand. Meng Yao was a little confused and didn't understand why her grandpa shook off her hand.
"Yao Yao, go and introduce your second uncle and the others to Qin Yu." Meng Feng saw his old man's actions, but a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he said to Meng Yao with a smile.
Meng Feng understood the purpose of his old man doing this. Among the second generation of the Meng family, his position was the most critical. If he took a step further, he could advance into the sequence. Therefore, the next few years would be critical. At this time, his father appeared.
The state guesthouse does not need to show anything, as long as it gives people a very healthy feeling, then it will be a huge help to you in this step.
A family with an elder is like a treasure. This saying is vividly reflected in a red family like theirs.
In addition to Meng Feng, Qin Yu also saw Meng Wangtian's thoughts. However, looking at Meng Wangtian's staggering steps, Qin Yu frowned, and then drew a half circle with his right foot on the ground.
Stomped lightly.
A breeze blew, and Meng Wangtian paused for a moment, with a strange expression on his face. Then, he took long strides forward, his steps were vigorous and powerful, and he walked like a tiger.
"Hello, Mr. Meng."
"Hello, Chairman Meng!"
Those at the door of the State Guesthouse greeted Meng Wangtian politely, but Meng Wangtian just nodded and walked straight inside. Meng Feng, who was following behind, returned greetings to those people from time to time, while Qin's father and Qin's mother
He entered the State Guesthouse with Meng Feng.
The appearance of Mr. Meng made the managers of the State Guesthouse unable to sit still and came out to greet him. For a while, the State Guesthouse was very lively.
But Qin Yu couldn't see the excitement, because Qin Yu was following Meng Yao and getting to know the relatives of the Meng family, such as uncles, aunts, grandparents, uncles, aunts, and some seven aunts and eight aunts. In short,
The Meng family and the Ouyang family each came with about ten people.
Fortunately, Qin Yu has a good memory, so he wrote down all of Meng Yao's relatives at once, and greeted the group of people to walk in. Qin Yu could feel that when Meng Yao introduced these relatives of her family to him, these relatives were all
Look at yourself with curious eyes.
Qin Yu could guess what these relatives were thinking, including why Meng Yao fell in love with him and why the Meng family agreed to the marriage. However, Qin Yu naturally would not explain the reasons to them.
.
After a group of people entered the private room of the State Guesthouse, the banquet began. Because Mr. Meng was there, it was not as lively as the usual engagement banquet, but this place was not suitable for making a fuss.
After three rounds of drinking, Qin Yu and Meng Yao exchanged engagement rings according to the rules here. When he put the engagement ring on Meng Yao's finger, Qin Yu's mind suddenly thought of Qin Xuanbing's words, "Same.
There are three rings."
"What are you thinking about?" He waved his head slightly to get rid of the thoughts in his mind. Qin Yu stared at Meng Yao, who had a rosy face and a sweet expression, and said softly: "Meng Yao, I will take care of you for the rest of my life."
Qin Lan, who was sitting next to him, secretly curled his lips when he heard Meng Yao's words, and was about to make a fuss when he noticed that the people at the table opposite quickly closed their mouths and despised Qin Yu in his heart: "Even love words.
I don’t even know how to tell, I really don’t know how I deceived Meng Yao.”
After exchanging rings, the next step was to toast, but with Meng Wangtian sitting there, few of the juniors dared to drink. As for the elders, it was easier to solve. In short, when the two tables came down, Qin Yu did not take advantage of them.
All the cheating methods were intact and there was no hint of intoxication.
However, just when Qin Yu had just finished toasting, a red flag car parked outside the door of the State Guesthouse. From the car, a man in a suit in his fifties got out, holding a long box in his hand and heading toward
Walk inside the State Guesthouse.
When the guests in the lobby of the State Guesthouse saw this man, their expressions changed. When they saw the man entering the box where the Meng family's group had entered before, their eyes flickered, and they all showed thoughtful expressions.
"Director Zhang?" The man walked into the box. The first person who saw the man was Qin Yu, but Qin Yu didn't recognize him. Meng Feng, who saw the man next, quickly stood up from his seat and faced the man.
.
"Secretary Meng's family is having a wedding today, and I'm here to ask for a drink." The man shook hands with Meng Feng, said something with a smile, and then walked towards Meng Wangtian.
"Mr. Meng." Facing Meng Wangtian, the man's smile dropped and he greeted politely.
"Xiao Zhang is here, sit down quickly." In fact, the moment the man entered the box, Mr. Meng blinked a few times, and a light flashed on his face, but no one noticed it.
"Mr. Meng, I won't sit down. I'm here this time to buy a wedding drink and to deliver something to Xiaoyou Qin on behalf of the secretary."
After the man said this, he turned around and looked at Qin Yu with a smile. However, the relatives of the Meng family present were shocked by the man's words, and they all stared at Qin Yu with expressions full of shock.
On the other hand, Qin's father, mother, and Qin Lan didn't know the man's identity, so they weren't too surprised. But if they knew who the secretary the man was talking about was, their expressions would probably be even worse than those of the relatives of the Meng family.
shock.
"Little friend Qin, the secretary knew that you were engaged today, so he took the time to write this in the afternoon and asked me to forward it to you." The man handed the long box in his hand to Qin Yu.
"Thank you, Director Zhang, and thank you to the chief on behalf of me." Qin Yu already had a vague idea of who Director Zhang was.
"Open it and take a look." The man said with a smile.
Qin Yu nodded, untied the red rope buckle on the long box, and carefully took out the calligraphy inside. After greeting Meng Yao, the two of them slowly rolled up the calligraphy in one hand.
Open.
"A match made in heaven, a talented man and a beautiful woman!"
Seeing these eight large calligraphy characters, Meng Wangtian and Meng Feng looked at each other, and the father and son nodded to each other. However, the eyes of others were froze by the signature and nomination at the bottom.
"I'm happy to hear that little friend Qin is getting engaged tomorrow, so I would like to send you my best wishes, old friend..." (To be continued)
