Chapter 1651

The wedding photographer they hired today faithfully recorded all of these proceedings. Today's wedding video would surely become their most beautiful memory.

It was past eleven o'clock, and the master of ceremonies, Zhang Cheng, directed everyone to board the cars and head to the People's Hotel to prepare for today's wedding banquet.

The main hall of the People's Hotel was already bustling with activity. The ninety tables the Su family had booked were already full. There weren't enough seats, but fortunately, Zhang Kaishan had mentioned it to the owner of the People's Hotel, who added a dozen more tables, barely managing to seat everyone.

The more important guests, such as officials at the deputy department level and above, high-ranking officials from state-owned enterprises like Wang Yibin and Shao Dejin, and major investors like Hou Guangbi, were seated in a small dining room connected to the main hall, where a few tables had been set up.

In the small dining room sat Yu Jingxian, the siblings Yu Yan'an, and some provincial leaders. These leaders had originally come to attend the wedding of Lu Zhenghong's daughter, but they hadn't expected to see Yu Jingxian upon arrival. They certainly knew Yu Jingxian's status all too well, which gave them quite a shock.

Looking closer, they saw Yu Yan'an next to her. This was the eldest son of the Yu family; even he had come to attend Su Xinghui's wedding. This made them look at Lu Zhenghong with even greater respect and hold high expectations for his future.

Many people wanted to sit next to the siblings Yu Jingxian and Yu Yan'an, but there were only ten seats at a table, and not everyone could sit there. After everyone had arrived, Yu Jingxian took charge and had Su Xinghui's maternal grandparents, his parents, his paternal aunt and uncle, and Lu Zhenghong and his wife sit at their table.

No one had anything to say about Yu Jingxian's arrangement, as she was showing respect to the elders of the bride and groom. What was particularly surprising was the special respect Yu Jingxian showed to Su Xinghui's uncle, Yu Maode. As soon as she saw Yu Maode arrive, she stepped forward to shake his hand and exchange pleasantries, showing him great respect.

This even surprised Su Xinghui, but Yu Jingxian revealed the mystery herself. It turned out that due to years of working at a desk, she suffered from cervical spondylosis, which was quite severe. She had seen many doctors with no improvement. Later, when she came to Jiangcheng, under Lu Zhenghong's introduction, she sought medical treatment from Yu Maode. As a result, after Yu Maode performed acupuncture on her a few times, her condition improved significantly and had not recurred since.

Everyone then understood the reason. Suddenly, they all held Yu Maode in high regard. People eat all kinds of food, so how could they not get sick? With such a skilled doctor here, who wouldn't want to build a good relationship with him? In case they or their family members got sick in the future, they could go to Yu Maode.

Although Yu Maode was a skilled doctor, he was low-key and never advertised, relying entirely on word-of-mouth to bring him patients. Therefore, his reputation was not very large in places further away. Today, Yu Jingxian had essentially given him an advertisement. Of course, whether this advertisement mattered or not was not a big deal to Yu Maode; he already had too many patients to see.

Yu Maode originally didn't know Yu Jingxian's status. Now that he knew she was the wife of the Provincial Party Secretary, he didn't show any special enthusiasm. He just asked with a smile, "Is your cervical spondylosis better now? If it recurs, come to me for acupuncture again."

Yu Jingxian nodded and said, "It's much better now. I used to have severe dizziness, but now my energy is better. By the way, Dr. Yu, if my elders at home feel unwell in the future, may I invite you to our home for a consultation?"

Yu Maode said, "In principle, I do not make house calls. However, if it is for your elders, they must be quite old, and it is understandable that they might have difficulty moving around. In that case, I can make a house call."

Yu Jingxian said happily, "That would be wonderful."

Yu Jingxian arranged for everyone to sit down, and the others found their own seats. Today, there were several officials at the deputy provincial and ministerial level and above in the small dining room, and no fewer than twenty or thirty officials at the deputy department level and above, plus those state-owned enterprise executives and major investors, totaling seven or eight tables.

The small dining room was barely arranged. Those county-level officials couldn't get a spot in the small dining room, except for Ling Anguo, who, as Su Xinghui's direct superior, was pulled into the small dining room by Su Xinghui to sit at a table with Zhang Kaishan and Ji Tao.

Outside the small dining room, Fang Qing sat at a table with Deputy County Magistrates like Zhao Yangang. Since becoming Deputy County Magistrate, where had she not been given the seat of honor as a guest? But today, coming to Su Xinghui's place as a guest, she was seated in the main hall with ordinary people, which made her feel very unhappy. What sense of superiority did she have as a Deputy County Magistrate now? What was the point of her working so hard and paying countless costs to become this Deputy County Magistrate?

However, given the situation today, she really couldn't say anything. Who could she replace in the small dining room? Even those provincial and ministerial-level officials didn't get the chance to sit with the Provincial Party Secretary's wife.

The scale of Su Xinghui's wedding today really made Fang Qing feel a bit terrified. She knew Su Xinghui had a strong background, but she hadn't expected it to be this strong. So many big shots had come to attend his wedding. Was it too unwise for her to think about going against Su Xinghui?

Fang Qing whispered to Zhao Yangang beside her, "Old Zhao, do you know everyone in the small dining room?"

Zhao Yangang also looked at the people in the small dining room with some shock. He shook his head and said, "I only know some people from the city. I know the ones from the province, but they don't know me. I don't know the others."

There was one thing he didn't say: these were definitely all big shots. Looking at these people really made Zhao Yangang feel a bit fearful. Was this Su Xinghui's network?

Of course, there were also some people here who didn't have a good relationship with Su Xinghui, such as Mayor Ren Guisheng, who also came to attend Su Xinghui's wedding. He certainly couldn't be counted as part of Su Xinghui's network. But if even half of these people were here sincerely to attend Su Xinghui's wedding, that was already terrifying enough.

Zhao Yangang was also thinking about this question. Was it really wise for them to go against Su Xinghui?

Zhao Yangang and Fang Qing looked at each other, and they both saw the panic buried deep in each other's eyes.

The guests present had their own thoughts, but the wedding proceedings continued. Today's wedding host was a male host from the provincial television station named Liang Sizo. He walked onto the stage and cleared his throat, and suddenly, the sound in the hall died down.

Liang Sizo held the microphone and said, "Distinguished leaders, guests, friends, and family, good afternoon! On this sunny, crisp autumn day, we have gathered here to celebrate and witness the wedding of Mr. Su Xinghui and Ms. Lu Xiaoya. Now, please allow me, on behalf of Mr. Su Xinghui, Ms. Lu Xiaoya, and their families, to express our heartfelt thanks and warm welcome to all our guests!"

After the applause died down, Liang Sizo said, "Next, I announce that the wedding ceremony begins now! Alright, let our sound engineer play the solemn Wedding March. Let us invite the couple to the stage with the warmest applause!"

The Wedding March began to play, and at the same time, the sound of firecrackers rang out. Amidst the music and firecrackers, Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya held hands and slowly walked from the other end of the hall toward the stage.

Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya today could truly be called a talented man and a beautiful woman. Su Xinghui, dressed in that beige suit, was dashing and handsome. Of course, what was even more eye-catching was Lu Xiaoya; the qipao she was wearing was too beautiful.

The bright red qipao displayed Lu Xiaoya's beautiful figure to perfection, and the most eye-catching part was, of course, the golden phoenix. This golden phoenix could be considered a top-tier masterpiece of Jiang embroidery. The moment such a work of art appeared before everyone, it shocked them all.

The tailoring and stitching of this qipao were also the best; one could tell at a glance that it was made by a top-tier tailor. Such a work of art worn by the beautiful Lu Xiaoya complemented each other perfectly. Today, Lu Xiaoya was the most beautiful bride.

Looking at the radiant Lu Xiaoya, Tailor Zhu, sitting at the banquet, shed tears of excitement. Being able to have his proudest work worn by Lu Xiaoya could be considered its best destination.

Liang Sizo said with a smile, "Spring is lively on the apricot branches, and the beauty comes upon the jade railing bridge. Draped in a white wedding dress, wearing beautiful fresh flowers on her head, the beauty bathed in happiness and sweetness walks toward us step by step, heart to heart and hand in hand, to the sound of the solemn Wedding March. Friends, let us sincerely bless them, pray for them, cheer for them, and applaud for them!"
