Chapter 106 Embarrassment

The time is getting closer and closer to noon, and the last guests are arriving one after another.

At around 11:20, Deputy District Chief He arrived first.

Xu Bingquan and his wife immediately welcomed them warmly and introduced them to Hong Lucheng and Wang Yunlin with radiant faces.

It was a coincidence that in just a few minutes, Lao Su accompanied Yu Wanyu and entered the Chuihua Gate.

So Hong Lucheng and Wang Yunlin exchanged polite words with Deputy District Chief He and went to greet the new guests together.

For these two guests, the Hong family elders were obviously much more enthusiastic than the district chief. Not only did they personally lead the two people to their seats, they also talked for a long time.

Because of this, Xu Bingquan and Yu Wanfen were a little unhappy. They felt that the Hong family was a little confused about which end was heavy and which was light.

He is just an old neighbor and an opera singer, so there is no need to be so enthusiastic. Besides, no matter how famous the actor is, he is not as important as the deputy district mayor of the capital.

If he were in another city, he would be a mayor at this level. How could he be so dismissive?

The correct way to deal with this is to bring Yu Wanyu over. How good it would be to have Lao He shake hands with her and say words of encouragement.

And what did Yu Wanyu give as a gift? White porcelain Guanyin? Who wants this thing... Tsk!

Xu Bingquan and his wife really take their official positions too seriously. They don't understand how tired the actors are after finishing a performance, and how impatient they are for unnecessary socializing.

So immediately after Deputy Secretary Wang of the District Party Committee arrived, the two couples rushed up with Xie Huoer. Deputy Secretary Wang's time was precious and he couldn't keep the leaders waiting for a long time, so he quickly started the ceremony.

The Hong family really doesn't care. Since the Xu family is anxious, let's get started.

Unexpectedly, when Hong Lucheng called Li Fu to give instructions to start, Deputy Secretary Wang heard that Yang Weifan was also coming, and actually asked to wait.

"It doesn't matter, I also want to meet this big star. Speaking of which, his father is still my old superior. I don't know how Mr. Yang is doing now. I have to say hello."

As a result, from this moment on, Xu Bingquan and his wife inevitably started the mode of "carrying out the embarrassment to the end".

Because if they are different, they are different. In their eyes, Deputy Secretary Wang is their superior and very important. But they are happy to support Yang Weifan.

What is even more unexpected is that Yang Weifan does not "pee" Deputy Secretary Wang very much at all. On the contrary, he attaches great importance to an ordinary person with no identity.

In fact, after Yang Weifan and his party arrived at about half past eleven, they didn't care much about the other guests except to say congratulations to the Hong and Xu family.

Even if Deputy Secretary Wang took the initiative to introduce himself and greeted Yang Yaohua's body intimately, Yang Weifan only expressed his gratitude and was polite and perfunctory, with no intention of further discussion. He even refused the invitation to move his position to the chief position.

What really made him anxious was to inquire about a person from Hong Lucheng and his wife.

Who to ask?

Shou Jingfang.

When Qingqing came this time, Yang Yaohua specially gave Yang Weifan two boxes of high-quality wild ginseng, and asked his son to let his savior accept them. If he could accept them, he would feel better.

This was mainly because Shou Jingfang had always strictly prohibited the Yang family from disturbing him, so this opportunity to meet was a rare one. In addition, Yang Yaohua also knew that Shou Jingfang had a noble temperament and felt that the farewell would be rejected, so he made this special arrangement.

In this way, Yang Weifan naturally regarded this matter as his top priority today, and he had to do it to make his father feel at ease.

So when he came to the fourth table and saw Shou Jingfang, like a good boy, he bowed to Shou Jingfang respectfully and said hello, and then patiently expressed his father's wishes and begged Shou Jingfang.

Can accept the small gift from the Yang family.

This situation made Xu Bingquan, his wife and Deputy Secretary Wang dumbfounded. They were all shocked and suspicious, and no one could figure out where Shou Jingfang came from.

It's funny to say that. What made Xu Bingquan and Yu Wanfen almost vomit blood was that later, Deputy Secretary Wang actually asked them, "Why is this old gentleman sitting there? Do you want to invite us over?"

Thinking about the request to change seats just now, Xu Bingquan and Yu Wanfen's faces felt as if they had been scratched by a cat.

Fortunately, Hong Lucheng came forward to explain. He said that Shou Jingfang was not an official and was impatient with social interaction, so it was better to let him continue to be at ease, so the status quo was maintained.

But where did this go? There was a situation later that made Xu Bingquan and Yu Wanfen even more ashamed.

Because Yang Weifan and his party were not the last guests. Then several more special guests came. As a result, even Xu Bingquan and his wife had to admit that they were indeed blind.

What's going on?

Just as the wedding ceremony was about to begin, a foreign old man and a foreign old lady, accompanied by a Chinese man who looked like a cadre, walked into the wedding venue through the hanging flower gate, attracting the attention of the entire audience.

Don’t forget, we have just passed the era when the government needed to repeatedly publicize “it is forbidden to watch foreigners” so that Chinese people can maintain restraint and courtesy.

Therefore, although ordinary people are not like before, when they see a foreigner, they are like seeing a golden monkey, and they can't move their eyes at all. But if you accidentally meet one, it is enough to take a peek for a while.

In addition, consider the environment of the scene. Everyone is staring expectantly at the bride and groom holding a microphone. Suddenly, so many people walk in from behind them. No one would have expected it, right?

What's more, these two foreigners behave differently.

The old man wore a suit and leather shoes, and held a bottle of foreign wine in his hand. The old lady wore jewelry, painted her eyebrows, and held a bouquet of flowers in her hand.

As soon as they came in, they rushed towards the bride and groom, so startled that the two young men jumped back.

If this can no longer become the focus of vision, it will only prove that the people at the scene are blind.

So who are these two foreigners?

Hey, needless to say. Aren’t they Yuntai’s classmates, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Commercial Counselor of the U.S. Embassy?

The last time they met with Yuntai at the Qianmen Hotel, they heard that Yuntai was temporarily staying in the Hong family's old house to attend his nephew's wedding. The old boy Smith was tempted.

He was quite curious about the weddings of the people of the Republic and especially wanted to attend.

But then he thought again, Americans don't have a holiday on this day. They celebrate Labor Day in September, and the embassy will still be working on May Day. I'm afraid that if I can't come, I won't have the nerve to make a request.

Unexpectedly, the embassy later notified him at short notice that on the morning of May Day, he would be sent to participate in an event officially invited by the Republic, and then gave him a day off.

When he thought about it, since he was well-packed anyway, he might as well go to the Friendship Store to buy a bottle of wine after the event, and then rush over with flowers from the event. How good would it be to watch the excitement and have a meal?

You know, Smith is half a Chinese connoisseur. He knows that Chinese people have a saying of "don't hit someone with a smiling face."

Excuse me.

Sure enough, this old boy succeeded.

Although they came uninvited, the Hong family and his wife could only receive them warmly, and Yuntai could only hold his nose and show off.

But having said that, this also has an additional benefit. That is, the sudden arrival of this somewhat wretched commercial counselor not only gave the Hong family face, but also made Yuntai shine in the public eye.

Because these days, Americans have a top-notch status in the world, let alone official officials. Who can have such a guest and not be upset?

Not to mention Xu Bingquan and his wife, even Deputy Secretary Wang and District Chief He stood up, smiling and trying to move the foreign guests to the first seat.

It's a pity that they are being sentimental again. The counselor and his wife are mentally ill, so they just got over it and came here for another official entertainment. No one will pay them overtime.

So let alone Mrs. Smith who really doesn’t understand Chinese, even Smith herself started to act stupid and said she couldn’t communicate with each other. Even when the translator persuaded them, both of them shook their heads and said “no”.

In this way, Yuntai had to explain a few words, and then discussed with the Smiths in English, and finally let them sit at his table.

Think about it, according to Xu Bingquan and Yu Wanfen's inner definition of Yuntai, he is a rustic old man from the countryside.

It just so happened that such a person was a classmate of the Commercial Counselor. He kept singing "bird songs" in succession. Not only did the official translator fail to get a word in, but he also made the counselor and his wife smile as brightly as a chicken.

Nod your head and say "yes" straight away.

What is the effect?

It’s simply unbelievable and shocking!

This means that real people should not show their faces, and the sea water should not be lame!

Think about their own performance, are they ashamed or ashamed?

Fortunately, only a handful of people knew about this matter, otherwise they would really have no way to deal with themselves.

But there is no way. Can you blame them for their poor eyesight?

To be honest, it’s all my fault that the Hong family’s relatives are too “astringent”. There is no one who is not a person who is evil from the bottom of his heart!
