With Cao Wangde's advice, Mrs. Cao could only laugh awkwardly in front of everyone, stood up and said, "Yuan Ming, sit here."
However, Yuan Ming stood with no intention of sitting down. He quickly stepped forward and pressed down on Cao's mother: "Auntie, please don't get up. Cao Jie and I can sit wherever we want. I don't dare to sit in this position."
Then Cao Wangde stood up and said to Cao Jie: "Yuan Ming, it's rare for you to come to my house, so you'll be welcome."
"Don't worry, Uncle Cao."
Then he took Cao Jie and sat at the bottom.
From beginning to end, Shen Qingxin had no chance to speak and felt very unhappy.
After all, regardless of business or politics, he is also a leader in this room. The old couple must at least listen to his opinions and give Yuan Ming enough face.
So he immediately stood up and said to Yuan Ming: "Yuan Ming, come and sit here with uncle."
The position assigned to Shen Qingxin today is to be the wedding officiant. He will sit in the co-pilot as the man's representative until he goes to the woman's home, and then picks up the woman's wedding officiant, who is also a big leader in the provincial party committee.
This kind of scene is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to get closer to the superior leaders, so the most important thing for Shen Qingxin now is to establish a good relationship with Yuan Ming first so that he can have more topics to chat with the leaders.
However, in the eyes of some discerning people, his behavior was indeed a bit too artificial.
No matter how much you flatter your superiors, you can't embarrass your master on a day like today and make it difficult for him to step down.
But as a junior, Yuan Ming was definitely not willing to cooperate with Shen Qingxin in staging this scandal, so he could only politely say: "Oh, Secretary Shen, you are too polite. You are the one officiating here, how dare I sit down?"
Taking advantage of the situation, Shen Qingxin achieved his goal, so he pointed at Yuan Ming, who had already sat down, and said to Cao Wangde with a smile: "Look, Yuan Ming, this kid, is so sensible. He is much better than my kid."
"Well, uncle, I'll just do it and I won't be polite anymore."
Cao Wangde smiled awkwardly [You praised Yuan Ming for having a relationship with me, and you said it so grandly. 】
"Lao Cao, I wonder who the best man is this time?"
Shen Qingxin looked at the big red flower pinned on Yuan Ming's chest by Cao Jie, then turned to ask Cao Wangde.
Cao Wangde pondered for a moment and said: "Oh, I really didn't care about this. They are all friends Cao Jie made up himself."
Shen Qingxin pretended to be angry and said: "Look, I have to criticize him carefully. How can you not criticize such an important guest as the best man?"
Cao Jie stood up and interrupted with a smile: "Uncle Shen, don't worry, the best men I have chosen are all top-notch young talents."
Shen Qingxin turned to Cao Jie, laughed, and praised Cao Jie: "Hey, your tone is so loud, tell me who is it?"
His question couldn't be more obvious. To put it bluntly, he was still prepared to hear Shen Tao's name.
It's a pity that Cao Jie was going to disappoint him and didn't consider letting Shen Tao be the best man at all.
"There is Yuan Ming, there is Guo Dachun, there is Bai Zhe, there is..."
"No, wait." Shen Qingxin looked confused: "Who are these Guo Dachun and Bai Zhe? Why haven't I heard of them?"
As he spoke, he looked at Yuan Ming with doubtful eyes, trying to read something from his expression, but still found nothing.
Cao Jie was stunned and said: "They are all my classmates in the party school."
Immediately, he saw Bai Zhe walking in from outside. Cao Jie rushed forward and grabbed Bai Zhe as if he was a savior.
"Brother Zhe, you're here. Come on, let me introduce you."
Bai Zhe didn't know what was going on, but he made eye contact with Shen Qingxin.
"Secretary Shen, this is Bai Zhe, my good buddy!"
"Brother Zhe, this is the Secretary of the Lingzhou Municipal Party Committee, Secretary Shen, who is also our officiant today."
"Well……"
Bai Zhe looked at Shen Qingxin with a smile, thinking he was Shen Tao's father.
I saw him saying in his heart: "This is all a mess!" 】
For a moment, the smile froze on his face.
Shen Qingxin moved, but didn't look at Bai Zhe at all. He turned to Cao Wangde and said, "Old Cao, otherwise I won't be the one to officiate. If I have something else to do, I'll leave now."
After saying that, he stood up directly and was ready to leave.
As the person officiating at the wedding, it would be too much of a joke to leave immediately.
But in Shen Qingxin's heart, the host family is joking with him, so what's the point of continuing to stay here? It's as big as it can be. This matter itself is not a small joke.
Shen Qingxin was able to climb to where he is today because of nothing else but his ingratiation.
Originally, it didn't matter whether his son was the best man or not. If it weren't for the fact that he had to have dinner with the leaders of the provincial party committee today, he might not be willing to come.
But I told my son in the morning that if you come early, the Cao family will definitely ask you to be the best man. By the way, you can dress more formally so that you can look good in front of the provincial party committee.
But look at who they are looking for? He was either the mayor or a minor deputy, so Shen Tao, the biological son of the municipal party committee secretary, was hanging out with them. What the hell was going on.
Long face? Have a monkey face!
The most annoying thing is that the host didn't expect this at all. Isn't this intentional to make a joke on himself?
What a shame today!
"Secretary Shen, Secretary Shen, you can't leave."
"That's right, Secretary Shen, once you leave, what will happen to the wedding?"
Facing the old couple's pull, Shen Qingxin turned around and said coldly: "Do you think it's necessary for me to stay? You guys have gone too far today!"
After saying that, he rolled off his sleeves, and the secretaries and entourage around him also stood up and moved out of the way for Shen Qingxin.
It is not difficult to imagine that as soon as he leaves, this house will be empty.
"Brother Zhe, this..."
Cao Jie looked at Bai Zhe asking for help.
The municipal party committee secretary wants to leave, who can stop him?
Yuan Ming was not sure about this.
Bai Zhe then stood up and called out: "Secretary Shen."
Shen Qingxin, who was about to leave, frowned and looked at Bai Zhe.
Bai Zhe said: "It is true that the master did something wrong today and did not ask for your opinion. But if you throw up your sleeves and leave because of this small matter, what do you think others will think?"
"What do you think?" Shen Qingxin's eyes became colder and colder.
"Others will only say that Secretary Shen has a small belly and can't tolerate others. I don't think anyone will blame the host for being unkind, right?"
After hearing Bai Zhe's words, Shen Qingxin's pupils shrank sharply.
[Yeah, I was really angry just now, so I was a little irrational, but was this naughty kid’s tone trying to teach me a lesson? Who is he? 】
"which unit are you in?"
Shen Qingxin asked coldly.
Bai Zhe smiled. "It's really ridiculous. You're asking questions knowingly and trying to scare me with this tone?" ] "My name is Bai Zhe, and I am currently the acting mayor of Lishui Town, Wenwu County, Zhanghe City."
"Acting Mayor."
Shen Qingxin felt a big trough in his heart. An acting mayor dared to fight against the secretary of the municipal party committee. Is there any Wang Fa? Are there any laws?
Then he raised his voice: "Who gave you the courage to talk to me like this?!"
Bai Zhe, who was neither humble nor arrogant, gently uttered two words: "The Party and the People!"
No one expected that on such an occasion, Bai Zhe would actually use other people's catchphrases. It was simply...
It's so gangster, yes, it's a gangster!
It was a big day for someone, and it was not a meeting or work. He actually said such shameless words casually. How could anyone refute this?
The key point is that the mayor of his village is not within his jurisdiction, so how can he explain this?
It is absolutely impossible for Shen Qingxin not to panic at this moment, but even so, he will force himself to be calm and not let others see his flaws.
"Well, Bai Zhe, your official position is not high, but your tone is not bad. Stop fooling me with this trick!"
At this moment, Shen Qingxin couldn't care less about his dignity, because his face was about to be at stake, how could he still be decent?
But Bai Zhe's mouth had never spared anyone, and he pressed forward step by step: "Secretary Shen, what did I do? You are not saying that the party and the people are empty, are you?"
As soon as these words came out, even the secretary next to Shen Qingxin secretly wiped his hands in cold sweat for Secretary Shen.
This kid has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, and his mouth is really ruthless.
A rural town mayor dares to go on the line with the municipal party committee secretary. This is simply a life-threatening act.
"Haha." Shen Qingxin sneered.
At this moment, he was already panicking, and he could only use a sneer to maintain his last dignity.
"you……"
Bai Zhe was too lazy to talk nonsense with him at this moment, and interrupted directly: "I'm sorry, I'm going to marry the bride soon. If you don't want to go, you can leave now, and I will be the officiant!"
"this……"
Everyone seemed to have a duck egg in their mouth, trying to close their jaws, but to no avail.
Bai Zhe's words really didn't take the municipal party secretary seriously, so he dared to bluntly ask the municipal party secretary to leave?
But think about it, what can you do with him?
The person who presides over the marriage is arranged by the host's family. If the host's family doesn't say anything, who dares to say this casually.
Even Cao Wangde and his wife were a little nervous.
Damn it, if the municipal party secretary leaves, Bai Zhe will have to be the officiant.
This guy is a sly talker, and he's sure to be able to fool his family's group of people.
Hearing Bai Zhe say this, he felt relieved.
Because Cao Wangde often heard his son praising Bai Zhe's numerous achievements in front of him. From Lishui Town to the Party School, he never failed.
In today's situation, I really might as well play big with Bai Zhe.
Originally, he wanted to find a step to get down, but after hearing Bai Zhe's words, Shen Qingxin couldn't help but leave.
Without saying a word, he flicked his sleeves and led the people away on the spot.
Cao Jie looked at Bai Zhe with wide eyes: "Brother Zhe, you are a little too big this time!"
Bai Zhe turned around and smiled like an aunt: "Is it big? It's okay, I'm here!"
No matter how much Cao Jie admired Bai Zhe, he would inevitably retreat at this moment.
"How about I go and invite Secretary Shen back?"
Cao Jie asked weakly.
Bai Zhe waved his hand: "What are you asking for? Just let him go. You're such a strong-willed melon, it's not sweet!"
After saying that, he winked at Cao Jie, and looked at Cao Jie's expression and almost cried.
Cao Wangde stood up and said: "Forget it, now that things have come to this, I can only leave this important task to you. You must not let our Cao family be embarrassed."
Cao Wangde saw Bai Zhe's calm attitude and decided to take a gamble.
Although he can still find other leaders of the municipal party committee or the district party committee secretary, who will definitely be on call, but at present, it is too late.
