Chapter 469: Queen Jiang V Sun Hanhan
According to the agreement between the two families, the engagement banquet was not grand.
There were many relatives coming from Luo Yang's side. There were seven children from my grandfather's side alone. Together with my uncle and third uncle's families, there were nearly three and a half tables of people.
Jiang Fan's family has few relatives, and the people who came couldn't even fill two tables.
Jiang Yuanshan had a wide network of contacts, so he invited a table of friends with whom he had a good relationship, and also invited a table of leaders.
In the end, we settled on six tables, an auspicious number.
On the day of the engagement party, Jiang Fan did not wear a wedding dress, but had a bright red wedding dress custom-made in Hong Kong. She tied her hair up and put hairpins in it, which added a touch of classical beauty.
Luo Yang was very well-behaved, dressed in a formal suit, and he also put on a little makeup on the day of his engagement, making him look even more handsome.
The guests praised the two as a perfect match.
The only regret is that the new house is not in place yet.
Because the villa that Luo Jianguo bought for his son and daughter-in-law had to be demolished and rebuilt, it was still under renovation on the day of the engagement banquet.
Fortunately, Luo Yang bought a commercial house in the city in advance, and engagement does not mean that the woman has to live in the man’s house.
The difference from before is that the two can live together openly.
Different from some areas in Zhejiang Province, wedding banquets in southern Jiangsu are all held at noon.
If you start late, you end late too.
Even though it was only one session at noon and not as tiring as getting married, it was still exhausting.
Luo Yang, in particular, drank a lot of white wine, and his steps were a little unsteady when he went home.
"Hehe, husband, I got rich today!"
After the door was closed and there were only two people left at home, Jiang Fan waved four big red envelopes in front of Luo Yang.
"Tsk, two of them were given to me by my parents!"
The invitations sent out for the engagement party clearly stated that guests were not required to prepare red envelopes, so the young couple each took two from each other's parents.
"It's all mine!"
Jiang Fan crossed his legs on the sofa, opened the red envelope and counted the money.
They were all new bills taken out of the bank. It seemed as if the parents of both sides had agreed on it and both gave the number of 88,000.
"It will be put into the public account of the love fund!"
"We are both engaged, and there is also a love fund."
Luo Yang leaned back on the sofa and said with a smile: "From now on, it will be renamed the Baby Raising Fund Public Account."
"Luo Yang!"
Jiang Fan stood up and sat on Luo Yang: "Are you no longer interested in me? Do you plan to be an old married couple in the future?"
As he spoke, he grabbed the loose tie, lifted Luo Yang's upper body, and stared at him angrily.
"What did you call me?"
Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment, and his momentum weakened slightly: "Husband"
"I call you my wife."
Luo Yang raised his lips and smiled: "If we are not an old married couple, what are we?"
Jiang Fan: “.”
I knew something was wrong, but I couldn't respond for a moment.
She felt itchy and suddenly bit Luo Yang's neck to vent her depressed emotions.
But soon his attention was attracted by a red box in front of him.
As long as you are not stupid, you should know what is inside.
He let go, returned to a direct distance, and looked at Luo Yang with expectant eyes.
"Because it's not a wedding, I can't put the wedding ring on you in public, but I still asked someone to customize a platinum ring with our two names engraved on the inside."
As he spoke, he opened the red box.
There was indeed a pair of rings inside.
Luo Yang took out a slightly smaller women's ring, took Jiang Fan's hand, and solemnly helped her put it on her ring finger.
"Honey, help me put it on!"
"Ok!"
Jiang Fan, who was like a little tiger just now, became extremely gentle and helped Luo Yang put the ring on his ring finger with a serious look on his face.
"Look, I'm taken!"
Luo Yang proudly waved his right hand in front of Jiang Fan.
"husband!"
Jiang Fan suddenly hugged Luo Yang's neck and kissed him wildly.
She was desperate tonight.
As soon as Luo Yang showed any signs of recovery, he was immediately attacked, as if he would kill 800 enemies but lose 1,000 of his own.
Even though they cried and shouted, they still fought and failed again and again, but they kept fighting!
The two of them clearly went home at around four o'clock, but they slept until around nine o'clock the next day.
When they got up and washed, the young couple stood side by side in front of the bathroom mirror. One had a rosy face and skin as white as cream, while the other had slight dark circles under her eyes and her lips were dull and bloodless.
What a shame!
After that, Luo Yang had breakfast and ate five big steamed buns in one go.
But he was starving.
Fortunately, he was young and recovered quickly. By the evening when he attended the annual meeting of Zhengyang Group, Luo Yang became energetic again.
It was just after five o'clock when he and Jiang Fan arrived at the InterContinental Hotel.
The wedding hall has been decorated to create the atmosphere of an annual meeting. Festive decorations are everywhere, and there is even a colorful balloon arch at the main entrance.
"Hello, Chairman!"
"Hello ma'am!"
Sun Jingyu was receiving guests at the door with a few administrators. When they saw Luo Yang appear at the door with Jiang Fan's arm around his, they immediately went up to greet him.
"Hello, Chairman!"
"Hello ma'am!"
Several other administrative office staff, plus two rows of receptionists in cheongsam also bowed and greeted the guests.
"Everyone is here?"
Glancing around the venue, Luo Yang asked, "What time does the annual meeting start?"
There were more than thirty tables in the entire wedding banquet hall, and it was now fully occupied. It was bustling with people before Luo Yang appeared.
But it was much quieter now, with only a few whispers left.
"Everyone is here."
Sun Jingyu responded, "It was originally scheduled for 5:30, and there are still more than 20 minutes before it starts. Mr. Shang and his family are already seated in the front row. I will take you and your wife there."
As I walked towards the stage, people sitting along the way stood up one after another.
There were constant greetings to the Chairman and his wife.
"Hey, hubby, you're so awesome!"
Jiang Fan whispered in Luo Yang's ear: "The people standing at the door just now were all beautiful legs in black stockings."
As he spoke, the "pliers" on his waist secretly rotated 180 degrees.
Fortunately, it was covered with clothes, so it didn't hurt or itch.
Tsk!
Luo Yang also smacked his lips; "The number of employees is still a little small."
There were two rows of people standing at the door to greet guests just now. Due to the large number of female employees, they were a group of short people. Not to mention their looks, even their heights were uneven.
We should continue to work hard!
I don’t believe that when there were thousands of female employees, they couldn’t even choose between two rows of storefronts.
"what?"
Faced with the irrelevant reply, Jiang Fan was full of questions.
Fortunately, it didn't take long to walk from the door to the front row. Before she could figure out what Luo Yang meant, she walked to the table in the middle of the stage.
"Hello, Chairman!"
"Hello ma'am!"
Shang Guozheng and others greeted him one after another. In fact, they had already stood up when they saw Luo Yang coming over.
"Let me introduce you. This is my fiancée Jiang Fan."
Before taking their seats, Luo Yang first introduced Jiang Fan to the group of executives.
Then he introduced them to her one by one: "This is Shang Guozheng, the executive president in charge of Fengshang Men's Wear and Cool Men's Wear, this is Su Yutong, the current person in charge of the women's wear brand, and this is Ma Guifen, the vice president of production."
Jiang Fan had a solid foundation since childhood, so he was not at all embarrassed when facing such an occasion.
When Luo Yang introduced someone, she would reach out and shake hands with the other person, saying, "Hello, nice to meet you."
When it was the last person's turn, he got stuck.
This face is familiar yet strange.
Does the company no longer need to go through me when recruiting senior executives?
As soon as he looked at the HR director with doubt, the other party extended his hands to him enthusiastically.
"Hello, Chairman. I am Xiang Junming from Tenglong Garment Fabric Factory. We were acquired by the group before the end of the year and have now joined the Zhengyang Group's big home."
Tenglong Fabrics, the owner's surname is Xiang
The father of porcelain doll Xiang Wanwan?
He actually forgot about this and was almost embarrassed.
"Mr. Xiang, welcome to join the group family."
Fortunately, he kept smiling when he shook hands, so no one noticed anything unusual.
After some greetings, everyone took their seats. Sun Jingyu served as the host of the annual meeting. When the time was almost up, she took the microphone and walked onto the stage.
The first step is definitely to invite the chairman to speak on stage.
Under the stage, apart from one table of senior executives, one table of excellent suppliers, and two tables of designers and middle-level managers, the rest were all front-line production workers.
"Behind the door, we are all one family."
In this situation, there was no need to make big promises. Luo Yang simply said, "The factory has good performance this year, so we held an annual meeting to celebrate. In addition to the spontaneous performances by the employees, there will also be a lucky draw, and everyone will eat and drink well."
There were more than 300 people on the scene, more than 200 of whom were female employees.
Faced with the boss's simple and straightforward speech, the meeting room was immediately filled with cheers.
Looking at Luo Yang walking off the stage, Jiang Fan suddenly recalled what he had just said.
“The number of employees is still a little small.”
It became hard, and under the table, the little fist clenched instantly.
"Hehe. I'll drain you dry tonight!"
The little woman has a profound knowledge of family and knows very well that one should not seek fame by imitating the tyrant, but should use the remaining courage to pursue the enemy.
Luo Yang's brief speech set the tone, and the annual meeting began a few minutes in advance.
The performances on the stage are not professional at all, mostly singing and dancing. The climax of the annual meeting often occurs during the lucky draw, when everyone's enthusiasm is released.
In the middle of the party, management came over to toast.
Although Luo Yang picked up the cup, he responded with just a sip.
So he remained sober until the end of the annual meeting.
Jiang Fan drank juice throughout the whole show and felt a little full. Before the show ended, he said hello to Luo Yang and went to the bathroom.
"Hello ma'am!"
After coming out, he happened to meet Sun Jingyu in front of the washbasin.
Jiang Fan turned off the faucet, sprinkled water on his hands, and wiped them with tissue paper.
Then he began to look at the girl in front of him.
Sun Jingyu is the part-time host tonight and she has dressed up carefully.
She had her hair tied up, and wore a round-necked silk top with a silk scarf tied around the collar, a knee-length one-step skirt, and her usual black silk high heels, showing the style of a white-collar woman in the workplace.
At this moment, he was wearing a long down jacket and standing in front of Jiang Fan with his head lowered.
"Director Sun"
Jiang Fan smiled and said softly, "I remember seeing you last time I went to Luo Yang's office."
"Yes, ma'am, I've seen you too!"
Sun Jingyu responded politely: "The chairman specifically told me a few days ago that you would be attending the group's annual meeting, so I recognized you the first time!"
"We were in a hurry when we met last time, and we didn't say hello."
Jiang Fan was tall to begin with, and Sun Jingyu lowered her head slightly, so she seemed a bit condescending when she spoke to her: "The annual meeting was well organized today. I think Luo Yang thinks highly of you. He gave you full responsibility for such things. It seems that you are quite capable."
"Ah, I can't do that. The chairman always scolds me for being stupid and always failing to do things well."
Sun Jingyu didn't dare to respond, and quickly waved her hand modestly, "It's just that everyone is busy before the end of the year, so it's my turn to organize the annual meeting."
"Really? I often call you stupid?"
Jiang Fan said calmly: "This seems like they are intentionally cultivating you."
"No, in the company, the chairman treats everyone equally."
Sun Jingyu could hear the hidden meaning in his words and quickly explained: "It's not just me. President Su was scolded and cried, and the HR director was also scolded for not hiring all the security guards as veterans."
I can't care about that now. I'll just take out everything and dry it out in the sun. It's all right.
"I'm just talking about the facts, there's nothing else to it."
Jiang Fan laughed when he saw her anxious look.
She paused for a moment before continuing, "Luo Yang not only has businesses in Yang City, but also has a lot of business in the Magic City. He has to rely on you to help share the daily chores. As his fiancée, I can only thank you for your efforts."
"Ma'am, this is what we should do. No need to thank me, really!"
After getting through this stage, Sun Jingyu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly waved his hands to indicate that this was what he should do.
She was also anxious.
Although Luo Yang did not have such thoughts, Sun Jingyu knew best what kind of thoughts she had.
At this moment, facing his legal wife Jiang Fan, he was extremely flustered.
It is already the limit to speak without being incoherent.
"Is Director Sun a local?"
Jiang Fan suddenly changed the subject and asked about Sun Jingyu's family background: "What university did you graduate from, and how old are you this year?"
"Madam, I am a local, my hometown is on the east side of Taihu Lake."
When faced with such a question, the answer is much simpler: "I majored in Language and Literature at Nanjing Normal University. I am 24 years old this year. As soon as I graduated, I was hired by the then Qingqing Garment Factory. At that time, I applied for the position of secretary to the chairman."
These are all reflected in the resume and are not secrets at all.
Director Sun responded with ease.
"Have you ever thought about it?"
Suddenly, the topic changed and Jiang Fan began to exert extreme pressure.
She took a half step forward, stretched out her hand to lift Sun Jingyu's chin, looked into her eyes and said slowly: "Tell the truth!"
"Ma'am, I don't dare!"
For a moment, her heart skipped a beat and Sun Jingyu was about to cry.
She bit her lower lip tightly and said, "And the chairman has never given any hints to his subordinates. In the group, he treats everyone the same and only looks at work ability. If you don't believe me, you can ask someone!"
When he said this, Sun Hanhan's heart was pounding.
Because she couldn't tell whether some of Luo Yang's words were hints: for example, he liked her wearing black stockings, or he didn't allow her to go on blind dates.
But one thing is undeniable. So far, Luo Yang has not had any unspoken rules with any female subordinates, including herself. As the number one spy of the Zhengyang Group, she can be sure of this.
Because of this, the look in his eyes when he responded was quite firm.
"Well, I just asked."
Jiang Fan's hand left his chin and moved to Sun Jingyu's shoulder, patting her gently: "Director Sun is capable and loyal. Work hard and keep your current work attitude. I will ensure that you will be rich and prosperous for the rest of your life!"
After saying this, he turned around and left the bathroom without waiting for her response.
Sun Jingyu staggered and would have sat on the ground if she hadn't supported herself on the washbasin.
“What a powerful aura!”
She rubbed her weak legs and muttered to herself, "Does this count as passing the test? Why didn't the Madam let me be her little spy, helping to monitor the chairman's every move? Isn't that what happens in novels and on TV?"
With his other hand, he kept rubbing his chest to calm his pounding heart.
Sun Jingyu was so naive. How could she know that Jiang Fan, who walked out of the bathroom, had a heart rate just as fast as hers.
The posture just now was all forced.
Even though she has been deeply influenced by Jiang Yuanshan since she was a child, she is still a senior student. Although her future growth is promising, judging from her current mental state, she will be a rookie who cannot survive the first five episodes in a palace fighting drama.
The only advantage is identity.
As soon as she appeared, she was the queen who ruled the country, and she naturally had a suppressive attribute towards any woman who appeared around Luo Yang.
The reason why his heart was beating fast was because Jiang Fan was also scared about his previous behavior.
In the situation just now, everything was under control.
Her perception told her that if Sun Jingyu really had any abnormal relationship with Luo Yang, it must have been exposed.
Fortunately not!
Otherwise, how should I face it?
At least Jiang Fan is totally unprepared now. It can be said that she is not mentally prepared for any response at all.
If you really ask about bad information, anything could happen in the follow-up to the incident.
"Why so long?"
Luo Yang was standing at the elevator entrance waiting for her.
The first sentence is just a concern, but the second sentence is what I want to express: "Do you want me to go back to your house tonight?"
There are only cows that die of exhaustion, but no land that is damaged by plowing. He was worried that Jiang Fan would continue to rush into the fire tonight and use a tactic that would hurt both sides.
If I live in my father-in-law's house, I believe I will be more restrained.
"Ah."
To Luo Yang's surprise, Jiang Fan trotted towards him and threw himself into his arms.
Then she hugged his waist tightly and said, "We'll go wherever you say!"
His behavior in the bathroom just now was impulsive. He tried to find out the answer without telling Luo Yang, but he was not mentally prepared.
"Facts" prove that the fiancé is innocent.
So it's not surprising that she was filled with guilt afterwards and behaved in a submissive manner.
"what?"
But Luo Yang had the heart of an uncle and he immediately noticed something was wrong.
"Jiang Xiaofan, something's wrong with you."
He reached out and rubbed Jiang Fan's head, and said with a smile: "You were full of energy last night, why did you surrender so easily tonight?"
Jiang Fan raised his head and looked at Luo Yang with tenderness in his eyes.
She completely gave up resistance: "Well, I surrender. As a prisoner of war, I will do whatever you want with me!"
hiss.
Something must be wrong!
The moment he walked into the elevator with his arm around Jiang Fan, he seemed to see Sun Hanhan walking towards the wedding hall out of the corner of his eye.
Is it related to her?
It feels like Jiang Fan needs to change. As he leaves school and enters society, transformation is inevitable. This chapter provides a starting point with the help of Sun Hanhan.
