Chapter 533: What Exactly Is the Background of the Qu Family's Son-in-Law!

Li Jun pulled Hua Zi in front of him and took out a lit one from the pack.

After exhaling a cloud of smoke, he continued:

"I will definitely attend your wedding banquet, but I won't stay long; you know the nature of our work."

Yu Dazhang nodded:

"Just having you show your face would be enough to give me some prestige."

Among his superiors, the only one he was close to was Li Jun, the squadron leader.

If Li Jun showed up, it would count as having a leader attend, and Yu Dazhang would also have face.

Having leaders come to support him would at least show that he was doing well in the unit.

"Which other leaders did you invite?" Li Jun asked casually.

He thought Yu Dazhang wouldn't waste this social opportunity, after all, such a major event as marriage happens only a few times in a lifetime.

"As for leaders, I only invited you and Captain Wei," Yu Dazhang said truthfully:

"I'm not familiar with the other leaders, and they wouldn't give me face, so I didn't want to invite myself to embarrassment."

Li Jun looked at him as if he were looking at an idiot:

"You seem like a smart person, why do you keep saying such foolish things?"

"Leaders might not come, but you can't fail to invite them; having a leader reject your invitation is also a form of progress."

A sudden enlightenment... Yu Dazhang immediately realized how absurdly wrong he had been.

Why care about face in front of leaders?

For such a major life event, if you don't even invite leaders, do you still want to progress?

Even if the other party doesn't come and rejects your face, at least you have fulfilled the proper etiquette and left them plenty of room.

It is far better than simply not notifying them at all.

In that case, he might as well contact every leader he could reach and let them reject him to their heart's content.

If he missed someone at this time, the other party would definitely think he looked down on them; such a thing must never happen.

Having made up his mind, Yu Dazhang spent the next few days notifying everyone he knew.

To ensure he didn't miss anyone, he specially prepared a notebook and first wrote down the names of everyone he knew within the system one by one.

After confirming there were no omissions, every time he notified someone, he crossed out their name.

Until all the names on the notebook were crossed out.

From high-ranking leaders like Director Liu down to ordinary officers like himself, he didn't let a single one go; he notified them all.

Even colleagues from other provinces were not spared; after all, it was just a phone call.

This time, he definitely wouldn't offend anyone... Yu Dazhang let out a long sigh of relief.

He found organizing an engagement banquet harder than solving a case; every aspect had to be considered thoroughly.

Fortunately, he had only been in the police force for a short time and knew a limited number of people; besides colleagues in Hongkou Branch, he only knew leaders from other departments.

Saturday, 11:00 AM.

In front of an affordable Chinese restaurant in Hongkou District.

The welcoming duty naturally fell to the two juniors, Yu Dazhang and Seeing Qu Tuotuo.

11:10 AM.

The first batch of guests arrived; as if by agreement, the earliest arrivals were almost entirely relatives and close neighbors of both families.

This alone revealed the differences between social classes.

The Qu family relatives were clearly dissatisfied with the restaurant; although they didn't say it, their expressions were not very pleasant.

In contrast, Yu Dazhang's side of the family was less particular and didn't mind it at all.

11:20 AM.

The second batch of guests arrived successively.

Luxury cars drove in slowly one after another and parked in the reserved spots in front of the restaurant.

Following them were friends from the Qu family's business circle.

Beside them walked a group of wealthy ladies wearing various luxury brand clothes, carrying designer handbags, with arrogance and confidence on their faces.

For them, such an occasion was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to display their sense of superiority.

Usually, these business tycoons were busy with their own affairs and rarely had the chance to gather together.

Yu Dazhang's face was numb from smiling.

He didn't know a single person in front of him, yet he had to force a smile and greet them one by one.

11:30 AM.

The entrance of the Chinese restaurant grew quiet; no one was coming over anymore.

"Let's go in," Seeing Qu Tuotuo said when she saw no one else was coming:

"If we wait a little longer, the banquet will start."

In her view, everyone who should have come had arrived.

Relatives and friends from both sides had been seen; next was just starting the banquet and going through the procedures.

Their engagement banquet was not that complicated; there was neither a master of ceremonies nor a confession segment.
