Chapter 1571
Yu Ruizhi said, "But this is your wedding; a once-in-a-lifetime major event. If I can't send any gifts, wouldn't that be too regrettable?"
Su Xinghui smiled and said, "How about this, Xiaoya and I haven't even taken our wedding photos yet. Don't you have wide connections? Then help us find a good wedding photographer to come to Changshan County to help us take a set of wedding photos."
Yu Ruizhi said, "This is easy. There are plenty of good wedding photographers in the capital. Last time, Geng Bo's younger brother's wedding photos were taken extremely well. I'll tell Geng Bo to have that photographer called to Changshan to take a set of wedding photos for you. Let's agree on this: I'll pay for this money. If you fight with me again, I'll get angry with you."
Su Xinghui knew that he really couldn't fight with Yu Ruizhi to pay for this money; otherwise, Yu Ruizhi would really get angry. He smiled and nodded, saying, "Alright, I won't fight with you for this money."
Yu Ruizhi said, "Don't worry, I'll have them write a receipt then. Just write your name on the receipt, and don't write the price too high; just write two thousand. If someone investigates then, you just take out the receipt and that's it."
Yu Ruizhi was, after all, from a political family and had been running a company, so he was very clear about the ways of this aspect. When he said this, Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Brother Yu is thoughtful."
Yu Ruizhi raised his glass and said, "Don't mention it; I'm already embarrassed enough. Actually doing such things for these petty people, who has Yu Ruizhi ever been afraid of?"
Su Xinghui said solemnly, "Brother Yu, we are not afraid of those petty people; it's to avoid trouble. Think about it, if I accept so much gift money and they report it, and the Discipline Inspection Commission comes to investigate, I will have to spend time and energy to deal with this matter, right? Accepting gift money is ultimately a violation of discipline, right? To deal with this kind of thing, how can I have the time and energy to do proper work? I can't afford to waste time with these people."
Yu Ruizhi nodded and said, "What you said is indeed reasonable. We have heard and seen plenty of such things. Sigh, we Chinese are experts at infighting. If we all used this kind of thinking to develop the economy, we would have surpassed Britain and caught up with America long ago!"
Su Xinghui said, "That's why we must use more time and energy on work and strive to make our country better."
Yu Ruizhi said, "Then what about Chu Xiaowu, Monkey, and the others? They have also been planning to send you a generous gift for a long time. They know you like calligraphy and paintings. During this time in the capital, they have been taking an expert to Panjiayuan and Liulichang every day to look around, saying they want to find two old items for you."
This thoughtfulness from Chu Zheng and Han Xiang Dong also moved Su Xinghui very much. To look for two old items in these places, it would definitely cost a lot of money, and it might even reach over a hundred thousand. The most critical thing wasn't the money, but that this thoughtfulness was too rare.
Su Xinghui said, "Brother Yu, I have to trouble you with this. Tell these brothers to come and attend my wedding then, but I'll appreciate the gifts in my heart. Once this precedent is set, it won't be able to be stopped."
Yu Ruizhi shook his head and said, "What kind of thing is this? If I, Yu Ruizhi, tell them this, won't I be laughed to death by them? But who told you to be my brother? Since you said so, I'll be the one to tell them about this matter."
Su Xinghui raised his glass solemnly and said, "Brother Yu, I sincerely thank you!"
Yu Ruizhi said, "Alright, we brothers are who to whom; let's not talk about thanking or not thanking."
Su Xinghui said, "By the way, have the wedding photographer you find come over on the weekend; I only have time on those two days."
Yu Ruizhi said, "Alright, I know."
That French wedding dress designer arrived in Changshan County two days later. To Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya's surprise, Hou Guangbi also arrived in Changshan together.
When they saw Hou Guangbi, Su Xinghui said, "Grandpa Hou, you are at such an old age, what did you come to Changshan for?"
Hou Guangbi smiled and said, "It's fine, this new road you built is quite good, the car drove very steadily, and I arrived after taking a nap in the car. This Changshan County of yours is truly a good place; as soon as I arrived here, there was a sense of coolness."
Su Xinghui saw that Hou Guangbi was in high spirits, and only then did he feel relieved. Hou Guangbi's health was indeed still quite good.
Su Xinghui said, "Then since you have come over this time, stay in our Changshan for a few days and have a good time here."
Hou Guangbi said, "That's exactly what I was thinking."
Coming over with Hou Guangbi were also Hou Dajun and his wife, and Hou Guangbi's youngest daughter Hou Rulan and her husband. Su Xinghui also paid his respects to them one by one.
Hou Rulan was a woman under forty. She had a very elegant temperament. She said to Su Xinghui, "Mr. Su, let me introduce you. This is Miss Matilda. She is the wedding dress designer we specifically invited to make the wedding dress for your wife. She is also the most prestigious wedding dress designer in Paris. Many big figures' wedding dresses were made by her."
Su Xinghui looked at that Miss Matilda. Although she was called Miss, she looked quite old, at least over fifty. Although the vicissitudes of time had already appeared on her face, her temperament was still very elegant and noble. From this point, it could be seen that she was not an ordinary tailor.
Su Xinghui asked Matilda in English, "Respected Miss Matilda, do you speak English?"
Matilda nodded and said, "Of course."
Su Xinghui said, "That's great. I'll take you to the hotel first. The conditions of the hotel here might be relatively limited, so please understand."
Matilda said, "It doesn't matter, I think this is a very beautiful city."
