Crash. "After the couple exchanged rings on the stage, the guests in the audience immediately applauded, and there was a round of applause in the villa.
Li Shaoze looked at this scene and nodded with satisfaction.
Meiko held his arm and clapped her hands in congratulations with a somewhat excited expression.
Next, Huang Shitong did not do anything fancy.
After the two newcomers stepped off the stage, they nodded and said hello to their family members and elders, and then sat down at the main table together.
The dinner is about to officially begin.
The chef who takes charge in the evening has already prepared the appetizers and cold dishes.
Now that I received the news, I shouted to the waiter to serve the cold dishes first and then start cooking.
Dishes were served to the table one by one, and after Li Shaoze greeted the other guests to sit down, he came to the main table, pulled out a chair and sat down.
"Daddy, Master."
When Li Ping'an and Xiurong saw him coming back, they quickly smiled and greeted him.
Li Shaoze glanced at Xiurong, picked up the chopsticks, and said with a gentle face: "Xiurong, please call me Uncle Li now, and change your name again later."
"I know, Uncle Li."
Xiurong responded softly, without rejecting, and she had already accepted her new identity in her heart.
Li Shaoze's eyes accidentally met Ambassador Han's again. One of them was proud and the other sneered, which was very obvious at the dinner table.
Huang Shitong was also married to a daughter. When he saw the sparks in their eyes, he knew that the two father-in-laws had not reached an agreement.
Is it about the betrothal gift?
Hasn’t it dropped to 30,000?
Huang Shitong didn't know the reason, but he still stood up with a smile, raised his glass on his own initiative, and cheered up the atmosphere by saying, "Come, let's drink to the happiness of the two children."
"good."
"Dry."
The guests at the main table stood up and clinked glasses with smiles on their faces.
At the same time, the guests at the other four tables also stood up and raised their glasses to Mr. Huang from afar.
After Huang Shitong nodded to everyone, the guests on the lawn all drank and the atmosphere gradually became warm.
Now the dinner party has officially begun. The guests are chatting, eating vegetables and drinking soup. Li Shaoze secretly cast a look of contempt at the Korean ambassador. Seeing that he had just been discharged from the hospital and was not fully recovered, so he could only drink a cup of tea instead of wine, so he gave up the idea of pouring down Ambassador Han.
But it should be despised, and it should still be despised.
On the other side, Yazi had a very happy chat with Mrs. Han.
One of them is charming and the other is elegant. They both wore light white evening dresses today and talked to each other about their skin care experiences.
Entertainment news for women in their thirties and forties? Parenting experience? These are all outdated. How to keep a firm face and supple and tender skin is the most important thing for a beautiful young woman.
Not sure what the conversation was about, Meazi, who was always reserved in social situations, suddenly covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Ms. Jiang, you usually take a bath with milk, but you add wolfberry? I always add rose petals to take a milk bath. !”
Mrs. Han smiled lightly, turned her head and responded softly: "This is a secret told by Chinese medicine doctors. Goji berries are more healthy than flower petals."
"That's it." Meiko nodded, with a look of sudden enlightenment on her face, a bit like the joy of having just finished reading a peerless secret book.
In any case, it sounds like wolfberry is better and more healthy than flower petals.
After all, the petals are fragrant at best, but compared with the wolfberry that keeps the skin shiny, it is down a notch.
No wonder Li Shaoze soaked wolfberry in a thermos cup every day. He probably heard it from an old Chinese medicine doctor, but he didn't tell her before.
snort.
He was done for the night.
Li Shaoze touched his nose and concentrated on eating, automatically filtering out the chatter of the woman next to him. While eating, he chatted with the Han elders in front of him.
Ten minutes after the dinner started, Li Ping'an left the table with his fiancée and walked to other tables to propose a toast.
There's nothing you can do about it, junior, you need to be polite.
However, Raymond, Uncle Zhan and others would not deliberately get children drunk. After clinking glasses with Li Pingan, everyone sincerely sent their blessings to them. But when Li Ping'an walked to his friend's drinking table, he was inevitably made things difficult for him.
"Haha." Li Shaoze looked at the noisy teenagers and felt that these are young people. Although I am young and handsome, I rarely have these frivolous moments anymore.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food. After everyone at the table had eaten and drank, they stood up from the table again and stood on the lawn for a walk and chat.
It was already past eight o'clock in the evening, the lights in the villa were turned on, and the stage above was removed by the staff.
The moving piano melody was also changed to melodious violin music.
The fruits and pancakes on the buffet table have also been rearranged. Not only will the types of fruits be changed, but the pre-dinner aperitif will be replaced with post-dinner liqueur, which is more suitable for guests to digest.
The original circle of five people spread out again. However, the dinner party came to an end, and Li Ping'an no longer needed to be responsible for greeting the guests. He and his fiancée were chatting among friends.
Li Shaoze continued to get together with Lei Meng and others, standing under a crabapple tree in the yard and chatting.
"belch……"
Just listen, the chatter of everyone slowed down. After Raymond burped, he suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Aze, you have to be careful about Li Wenbin recently."
Chen Jiaju, Ajie, and Jin Zai looked condensed, took a step back, and surrounded Sir Li, Sir Lei, and Uncle Biao in the middle.
They were not trying to avoid danger, but instinctively started to alert their surroundings.
Li Shaoze was a little surprised. Sir Lei, who had been talking about his later life just now, suddenly got down to business.
However, Sir Lei couldn't be wrong. He could only prick up his ears and listen carefully: "Sir Lei, what little trick does that vulture want to do again?"
He wasn't swearing.
Li Wenbin has not gained weight in the past two years, but he is bald in middle age. He used to be Mediterranean, but now he simply cuts off his bald head. His aura became much more powerful, but among Li Sir and others, he was nicknamed "Vulture".
Raymond nodded and said in a solemn tone: "It has been decided from above that Li Wenbin will be promoted to chief superintendent next month, and he may become assistant director tomorrow."
"The senior assistant director of the Operations Division will retire the year after next, and Li Wenbin will definitely take over his job."
"He jumped three levels in two years, which is too fast."
"However, we old guys all know in our hearts that there is nothing we can do to stop him. Zeng Xiangrong is determined to lift his confidant Li Wenbin to power."
Li Wenbin has a deep foundation in the Operations Office and Operations Department. He is now a senior superintendent and chief officer of the Operations Department. With the support of Zeng Xiangrong, rising step by step is just a routine operation.
Not to mention the current weakening influence of Lei Meng, even the current power of Li Shaoze, Lu Minghua's level cannot intervene in this kind of promotion.
After all, Zeng Xiangrong's current No. 1 brother has been in the position for many years. The way has been paved for Li Wenbin in advance, what can they do to stop him?
But this matter is normal. There is no need for Raymond to bring it up specifically. Li Shaoze will also know about it after a while. Why bring it up now? It's certainly not that simple.
Sure enough, Raymond lowered his voice and continued: "In addition, I have some private news. Deputy Chief of Operations Sir Wu will retire in three years."
"It is estimated that Sir Zeng will also receive the news next year. He will definitely praise Li Wenbin vigorously in the past two years... You have to be careful that Li Wenbin steps on you."
After all, Raymond turned out to be talking about the "Deputy Director of Operations".
If you have a handful, you are likely to step on it.
After all, one has to step on others to get to the top. If Li Wenbin wants to successfully become deputy director in the end, he must step on Li Shaoze.
Because, based on the current situation, Li Shaoze is the "champion" with the most advantage.
So what if Li Wenbin is bald? Does being bald make you stronger? He is only qualified to be a challenger!
As for the news that Sir Wu will retire in three years, the documents are not yet available, so it cannot be spread so early. The only possibility is that Sir Wu himself wanted to retire and told Raymond privately in advance, who then conveyed it to Sir Li.
I have always heard that Sir Wu's health has not been very good recently. It seems that Sir Wu may have some chronic diseases that he cannot bear anymore, so he wants to apply for retirement early.
Moreover, Sir Wu took the initiative to reveal the news to Sir Lei. In fact, it was not as simple as just thinking about it. He would definitely speak to Sir Zeng and the Security Bureau next.
At that time, the "application for resignation" will have to be reported to the state, which will take a long time.
Now that Raymond knows, it doesn't mean that Zeng Xiangrong won't know. Zeng Xiangrong could also receive the news two or three years in advance, but slightly later than Raymond. He still had time to "praise" Li Wenbin to the top.
"I understand, I'll pay more attention."
"Thank you, Sir Lei." Li Shaoze nodded lightly. After remembering this matter, he turned to ask, "Sir Lei, Uncle Biao, are you in good health?"
"Okay, okay, I walk the dog every day, there is no problem." Raymond and Uncle Biao patted their chests and laughed heartily. Chen Jiaju, Ajie, and Jin Zai relaxed and stepped forward to continue chatting.
As for Zeng Xiangrong, who has been the "Police Commissioner" for three terms, it is rumored that an exception has been made and the superiors intend to allow him to be re-elected for another term in two years.
Alas, originally each first brother could only serve for three terms at most.
After Zeng Xiangrong retires this term, it is likely that "Sir Wu" will be re-elected.
Unexpectedly, after many considerations, no suitable candidate was found. For the sake of public security on Hong Kong Island, Zeng Xiangrong can only be allowed to serve for one more term, but it will definitely be the last term, and there cannot be any more.
Some lower-level police officers were actually a little confused after hearing the news.
Is it possible that if you serve for one more term, you will be able to wait for the right person?
While Li Shaozhuang was chatting with Raymond and others, Li Ping'an was also chatting with several friends. I saw that the eldest grandson of "Li Chaoren" was a few years older than Li Ping'an. At this time, he had just finished chatting about sports cars and suddenly asked Li Ping'an: "Ping'an, when you graduate from middle school next year, have you considered which school to attend?"
"Across the country, wherever there is a Superman Academy, I can help you make arrangements."
"Yes, we can also ask Dadou to write you a letter of recommendation." Several other second-generation people also intervened, pretending to be good brothers.
In fact, there was no need for him to arrange it, Li Pingan relied on his own strength and background. If you want to go to any school in the world, you can go to any school in the world, and you still need them to interrupt?
These friends knew this and actually wanted to find out about Li Ping'an's tone.
I saw Li Ping'an grinning, touching his head, and responded with some embarrassment: "I want to take the police academy exam!"
"Police academy?" Li's parents and grandchildren exclaimed, and the second generation also looked very surprised.
"right."
"Police Academy!"
Li Ping'an's sonorous and powerful voice was very firm, and he had obviously made a choice in his heart.
"Oh..." The second generation suddenly realized that this guy was going to inherit his father's business.
So, they all turned their attention to Li Pingxin next to them.
Today is Li Ping'an's home court. As his younger sister, Li Ping'an has never had a sense of presence. She didn't know why, but she suddenly found herself being targeted by a group of wolves.
"Hey hey hey."
Li Pingxin smiled at them, already secretly gearing up.
Li Shaoze seemed to hear the sound of their discussion, and suddenly turned his eyes to the group of young people next to him.
