Chen Zikun thought for a while and said: "If I guess correctly, it should be our Jiangdong provincial councilor Gong Jiaxiang who voted for it."
Ruan Mingchuan extended his thumbs up and praised: "You guessed it right, this bank president praises you very much.
It shows that my brother is doing a great job in Jiangbei."
Just as he was talking, a middle-aged man wearing a black mandarin jacket and glasses came in with his hands behind his back.
Ruan Mingchuan immediately stood up and greeted: "Let me introduce you.
This is Mr.
Shao Piaoping, the president of our newspaper, and this is Mr. and Mrs.
Chen Zikunxian."
The middle-aged man said: "Oh, it turns out to be General Chen.
I have heard of his name for a long time but have not seen him before.
Today, when I meet him, it is indeed better to meet him than to be famous.
The general is indeed brave, and his wife is as beautiful as a flower.
What a perfect pair." people."
Ruan Mingchuan said: "President, General Chen is here to publish the wedding announcement."
Shao Piaoping said: "Oh my, even more congratulations, Xiao Ruan, I'll give you a 15% discount on the advertising fee."
Yao Yilei glanced at Ruan Mingchuan and said that your president only has this courage.
"President, I'll make the arrangements.
What, Xiao Wang just came to see you."
Ruan Mingchuan looked a little embarrassed and quickly sent Shao Piaoping away, explaining: "President, you are a stingy man, don't mind, the advertising fee will be counted. mine."
Ruan Mingchuan did not brag.
As expected, the Beijing News published the wedding announcement of Chen Zikun and Yao Yilei, and it was a genuine one.
This style was the only one in Beijing.
As soon as the news was published, there was an endless stream of people visiting Chen Zikun's big house in Dongwenchang Hutong.
Guests came to give gifts.
Chen Zikun didn't stay in the capital for long, but he knew a lot of people from all walks of life.
The military, police, local gangsters, hard laborers, manure pickers, and the opera house were all his friends.
People in the capital liked to join in the fun.
When they heard that he was going to hold a happy event, they cheered.
It's all here, don't let Chen Zikun worry about it inside and out, everything is taken care of.
The first people to come to the door were Bao Qing and Xing'er.
The two had officially gotten married last fall.
At that time, Chen Zikun was still working hard in Nantai and had no time to congratulate him.
Seeing Xing'er's slightly bulging belly, Chen Zikun joked: "No.
I’ll just drink your wedding wine in time.
When my godson is born, I’ll have to ask for a drink no matter what.”
Baoqing giggled and said nothing, and Xing'er said openly, "Okay, no matter whether I have a child or a daughter, I will accept you as my godfather.
When you have a child in the future, we will make a family."
Chen Zikun said: "That's good."
Bao Qing said: "The depot has been grazing sheep these days.
I was thinking that you are short of people here.
Why don't we, the couple, come and help greet a customer or something."
Chen Zikun naturally said yes, and just as he was talking, Li Junqing and Zhao Jiayong arrived.
The old friends gathered together, chatting and laughing.
After a short time, Xu Guodong, the captain of the Detective Brigade of the Capital Police Department, arrived.
This was Chen Zikun's old friend.

He was Be the director At that time, Chen Zikun was still a rickshaw puller, and the status of the two was very different.
But now it has been reversed.
Chen Zikun is already a powerful general, and he is still a mid-level police officer.
However, in the eyes of Bao Qing and others, Xu Guodong is a god.
Generally exist.
After a while, General Wang Geng, deputy director of the Railway Security Division of the Ministry of Transport, and his wife Lu Xiaoman came to visit.
The couple were famous golden boys and girls in Beijing.
When they appeared, Xu Guodong, who had previously been full of energy and witty words, felt ashamed. , although the detective captain is also considered the number one figure in society, there is still a long way to go before he can reach the real upper class.
Zhao Jiayong is a station policeman, and Wang Geng is the boss of his immediate boss's boss.
Usually he would never meet such a big shot, but today he actually met him at Chen Zikun's house.
He was so excited that he couldn't even speak.
He was stunned for a while.
Come forward and salute and introduce yourself.
Wang Geng and Chen Zikun are alumni and colleagues, Lu Xiaoman and Yao Yilei are best friends, and Chen Zikun gave Wang Geng the post of Major General of the Railway Security Department.
The relationship between the two is unusual.
They smiled and greeted everyone. , Wang Geng said: "Brother Kunwu, you will be busy on your wedding day.
Xiaoman and I have discussed it, and we will greet the guests for you."
Chen Zikun looked troubled.
He had just agreed to let Bao Qing and his wife be the general managers, but it was difficult to refuse the kindness of Wang Geng and his wife.
At the critical moment, Bao Qing spoke: "It would be best if Mr.
Wang can help you greet the guests. " He said and winked at Xing'er.
Xing'er understood and said: "Yes, Da Kunzi, the guests in your house are all well-known.
They need to be greeted by someone with weight.
The two of us can just serve you tea and water."
Chen Zikun said: "Baoqing, you got married earlier than me, otherwise it would be nice to be my best man.
By the way, where's the fruit?"
Xing'er said: "It's okay not to mention him, but I get angry when I mention him.
This kid doesn't study well, doesn't go to a good university, stays away from home all day, and hasn't been seen in the past few days."
Wang Geng said: "Brother Kunwu, you are short of a best man, right?
This is easy to handle.
I will recommend a few people to you, the absolute best candidates."
Chen Zikun asked curiously: "Who is it?"
"Our teacher's son, Liang Sicheng, Xu Zhimo, well, Zhimo is divorced, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate to let Siyong come.
Two best men are not enough."
Chen Zikun said: "I came in a hurry.
I haven't visited the teacher at his home yet.
Isn't Sicheng going to the United States?
Why hasn't he left yet?"
Wang Geng said: "He must go to the United States.
The University of Pennsylvania has admitted him, but for your wedding, it shouldn't be a problem for him to postpone his departure for a month.
By the way, Sicheng's fiancée Lin Huiyin is also in Beijing, so why not ask her to be your daughter-in-law?"
Best groomsman."
Chen Zikun said: "Okay, it's all done now."
Yao Yilei rolled her eyelids and seemed a little unhappy.
They were chatting and laughing here.

Xu Guodong, Zhao Jiayong, Li Junqing and the others suddenly felt embarrassed and simply stood up to leave.
Wang Geng said: "You guys sit down, I have business in the ministry.
I will leave after I finish talking."
Then he patted Chen Zikun on the shoulder and squeezed.
Eyes, led Lu Xiaoman away.
After Wang Geng and his wife left, Chen Zikun asked Yao Yilei: "Do you know Lin Huiyin?"
Yao Yilei sneered: "Why don't you know her?
You men all like her."
"Then you mean that women don't like her."
"That's not true, it's just forget it.
You won't understand even if I tell you, but I told you first that I don't want her to be the best bridesmaid."
Chen Zikun naturally did not dare to object: "It's all up to you.
I'll call Wang Geng later and tell him not to mention it to Miss Lin."
The wedding was scheduled for the 20th day of the third lunar month, which was the 23rd day of April in the Gregorian calendar.
Originally, Chen Zikun had wanted to do it without any fanfare, but the Yao family was not happy with it.
They had just such a daughter and could not get married in a grand way.
From the time Chen Zikun arrived in Beijing to the wedding, there was only about ten days of preparation time, which was quite a rush.
Fortunately, Beijing has a developed service industry, and as long as you are willing to spend money, there is nothing you can't do.
Choose a date, make a big decision, double geese and double wine, dates and cinnamon seeds, everything is done according to the rules of old Beijing, meticulous.
Two days before the wedding, the Yao Mansion sent a dowry of sixty-four tons to the Chen Mansion, and a drop of red paint lay on the bed.
The boxes, silks, porcelain, porcelain, and tinware were all in stock.
The fragile things like vases and large mirrors were all carried by "Crooked Necks".
There were drums in front of them to clear the way.
They had enough music and made a lot of money. face.
On the wedding day, the Chen residence in Dong Wenchang Hutong was bustling with people, and there was a long queue of cars and foreign cars.
Xu Guodong specially mobilized a team of patrolmen to maintain traffic order.
Early in the morning, Chen Zikun, wearing a red cross and riding a tall horse with a sedan, went to the Yao Mansion on West Chang'an Street.
Went to welcome the bride.
These days, the standard dress of the groom is a blue gown, a black satin mandarin jacket, a woolen hat with a golden branch on his head, and a red cross on his chest.
The bride wears a phoenix crown and bright red shoes.
The man rides a horse and the woman rides in a sedan.
There is nothing careless about it.
Poor Yao Yilei has always been like this She is a new-style modern person, and when she gets married, she doesn't just follow her parents' wishes.
After a lot of effort, the bride was finally picked up from the Yao Mansion.
The ceremonial guard walked down Chang'an Street in a mighty manner.
The pomp and ceremony was so big that it blocked the traffic.
In a car on the roadside, a young-looking girl wearing a robe and white hair appeared.
The tall old man asked in English: "Is this a wedding?"
Xu Zhimo, who was sitting in the front row, replied: "Mr.
Tagore, you are right.
This is a traditional Chinese wedding ceremony with national characteristics."
Tagore was very interested: "Can I visit it?"
Xu Zhimo hesitated and said: "This" "Isn't that Chen Zikun?
It turns out he is getting married."
Lin Huiyin, who was sitting next to Tagore, opened his eyes wide and said in surprise, "I thought he would have a Western-style wedding."

Since they were acquaintances, it was easy to satisfy Mr.
Tagore's unkind invitation.
Following the wedding procession all the way to Dong Wenchang Hutong, the place was newly decorated, the streets were paved with pure soil, and red silk and red lanterns were hung on the door.
It was full of joy and bustle, with firecrackers exploding and wedding candies flying.
The most eye-catching thing is not the bride and groom, but the famous names of the guests.
Liang Qichao, Xiong Xiling, Wang Daxie, Gu Hongming.
These celebrities in political and academic circles are old friends of Chen Zikun.
Needless to say, they caused a sensation.
It is a picture with the character "囍" written in his own handwriting and sent by an attendant sent by Commander-in-Chief Wu Peifu, the patrol envoy of Zhilu and Henan.
While everyone was still immersed in the shock brought by Wu Yushuai, something unbelievable suddenly happened.
Someone from the palace also came.
An official from the Ministry of Internal Affairs wearing a Qing Dynasty patchwork uniform represented the abdicated Emperor Xuantong and presented a yellow mantle to Lan Ling's bodyguard.
Batulu Chen Zikun presented a pair of cloisonné vases.
Both Wu Yushuai and the emperor sent people to give gifts.
The lavish ceremony was so grand that Yan Zhiyong, who came to drink the wedding wine on behalf of Qitian Martial Arts Hall, couldn't help but praise in the crowd: "It's true that people cannot be judged by their appearance.
It's only been a few years, and people are here."
This is the point.”
Someone next to him said: "Brother, what you said is wrong.
Chen Zikun has a majestic appearance and wonderful bones.
I guessed that he would be here today when I read his face five years ago."
Yan Zhiyong turned around and looked: "Hey, aren't you the Hu Banxian who reads fortunes outside the front door?"
