Chapter 393 Marriage 2!
Most surprisingly, Li Yuanchao also came, but not alone; he came with Luo Yun. The two are together now. I had heard Xiaobai mention before that Li Yuanchao had retired from the military and joined Zhengrong Group, and Luo Yun, the doctor, had also quit her job and joined Zhengrong as well.
Li Yuanchao handed over a red envelope, saying, "Congratulations! May you have a long and happy marriage!"
This polite tone makes it seem like they're very close.
Luo Yun smiled and echoed her sentiments.
"Xiaobai and Yuemin, I wish you a long and happy marriage."
Zhong Yuemin remained calm, accepted the red envelope, and responded with a smile.
"Thank you for coming. Please come in and find a seat."
After a few brief pleasantries, Li Yuanchao led Luo Yun into the banquet hall to find seats.
After the two left, Zhou Xiaobai quietly tugged at Yuemin's sleeve and whispered:
"Yuemin, they're here... You're not angry, are you?"
She knew about the past conflicts between Yuemin and Li Yuanchao.
"What? Do you think I'm the kind of person who's petty and narrow-minded?"
Zhong Yuemin remained calm.
"There's no reason to refuse when someone brings a red envelope. It's just that Luo Yun still doesn't learn her lesson. She gave up a stable job at the hospital and insisted on hanging out with a guy like Li Yuanchao."
Zhou Xiaobai said,
"Don't underestimate Zheng Rong Group. It's only been established a short time, but it's high-level and specializes in foreign trade. I've heard it wields a lot of power."
Li Yuanchao was the deputy general manager, specifically in charge of foreign trade with the southern provinces. The licenses and foreign exchange quotas he controlled were important resources.
He might be able to secure scarce supplies that others struggle to obtain with just a phone call or a signature.
I heard that many of the people who can get into his office to discuss business are powerful figures in ministries, or even the top two officials in provinces and cities—they're very prestigious.
"You know Luo Yun's personality; she only cares about money."
She probably disliked working at the hospital because of the low salary and slow promotions. At Zhengrong, if you performed well, the commission alone could earn you more in a month than you would in a year at the hospital.
How many people could resist such temptation? Countless people outside envy her right now.
"However, the threshold for Zhengrong Group is very high. Let alone ordinary people, even children from ordinary cadre families, without real power and strong connections, cannot even get a foot in the door."
"What, you want to go in?"
Zhou Xiaobai rolled her eyes.
“I’m not interested. No matter how capable Li Yuanchao is, he’s not as capable as you, Yuemin.”
"Really?"
Zhong Yuemin was despicable.
"What's your man good at in bed? Tell me specifically!"
Seeing the man's awkward expression, Zhou Xiaobai knew he wasn't thinking anything good, so she lightly pinched him.
"You're going to die!"
More than an hour later, all the guests had arrived. The wedding proceeded according to the customs of Beijing. A temporary stage was set up in the middle of the banquet hall for both sets of parents to have tea, drink nuptial wine, exchange rings, and recite vows.
Luo Jianguo, Haiyang, and the others below started cheering, "Kiss him! Kiss him!"
He didn't care; he was thick-skinned. Let him kiss her, but Xiaobai was a woman, after all, and more easily embarrassed. A blush would only make her more radiant and beautiful.
After the ceremony, people continued eating and drinking. Zhong Yuemin and Xiaobai, holding wine glasses, went from table to table toasting.
The table with Zhang Haiyang, Ning Wei, and Zheng Tong was the liveliest; they were all young people, all friends, and familiar with each other.
