Chapter 43: The Engagement Ceremony
Time flies, and Pang Guang and Lin Junyun held their engagement ceremony at the Rich Hotel amidst the blessings of friends. Meanwhile, the media stopped reporting on this matter because of the behind-the-scenes activities of Peng Da Hu's comrade-in-arms Duan Yu Gang. Peng Da Hu also smoothly passed the investigation by the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission due to the media's side clarification.
The most pleasant thing is that Pang Guang, because he listened to Kong Yuemei's speech at the press conference, gradually eliminated his misunderstanding of Lin Junrui and cooperated very well to continue playing the "play". However, when he learned that the engagement ceremony was actually held at the Rich Hotel, he repeatedly expressed his opposition, but in the end, he couldn't persuade the adults because Kong Yuemei had already announced in front of many reporters that they would hold an engagement ceremony at the Rich Hotel on New Year's Day.
Everything went on according to the schedule carefully arranged by the school and both parents, and finally welcomed the New Year's Day of next year safely.
Zhang Xiaoting had just finished her New Year's holiday and was preparing to sleep in, but a customer had gotten drunk the night before and made a scene until after 3am. After cleaning up the mess and returning home, she didn't even take a shower before collapsing onto the bed, exhausted.
The next morning, she was woken up by a phone call. Yang, the manager of the catering department, said on the phone that there was a wedding banquet today, and the floor manager who was on duty had acute enteritis and was sent to the hospital. The person holding the wedding banquet happened to be a powerful person, and he wanted Zhang Xiaoting to come immediately to work overtime, not a moment late.
Zhang Xiaoting agreed and quickly got up, washed up, and went out. When she arrived at the hotel, she was stunned, and he never expected that the male lead of today's engagement ceremony would be Pang Guang. Due to her profession, she immediately entered a state of professionalism, and a professional smile bloomed on her face as she walked towards Pang Dahu and extended her right hand: "Uncle, great to see you again so soon! Congratulations!" She knew that at such banquets, whoever paid the bill was the boss, and the new bride and groom were just there to create a festive atmosphere, they were just clouds in the sky.
Pang Da Hu was greeting guests, and when he saw Zhang Xiao Ting arrive, he quickly stretched out his hand to give a gentle handshake: "Oh, it's Little Zhang! After I finish being busy, you must come over for a drink of millet wine."
"Alright, alright." Zhang Xiaoting smiled politely: "Then Uncle, you go ahead and attend to your business first. I'll come over later to toast you with a few cups."
"Haha, great!" Pang Dahu was beaming with joy, he had been in a particularly good mood since two days ago when he told Kong Yuemei that after the engagement party, Lin Junyue and her mother would move into his new house on New Street. From now on, with Lin Junyue's help in taking care of Pang Guang, this little devil king, being a father would be much easier!
"Oh! Is it an engagement?" Zhang Xiaoting only noticed the content on the welcome sign after Pang Datou said so. Manager Yang mentioned a wedding banquet over the phone, and when she rushed over to see that the groom and bride were actually Pang Guang and Lin Junyun, she really felt a pang of sadness for a moment. As they say, "ex-boyfriend getting married, but not to me", it's impossible to have no feelings at all, but she had a strong personality, so when she saw that things were already set in motion, she closed her eyes and repeated to herself "I must succeed, even if I'm drinking vinegar, I'll pretend it's soy sauce" several times before quickly getting into the right mindset. Although she felt uncomfortable inside, she didn't show it on her face at all. When she found out that Pang Guang and Lin Junyun were engaged but not married, her heart relaxed again, and she couldn't understand why she had this feeling - was she still nostalgic for Pang Guang? No way, she knew clearly that he was already in the past tense.
She didn't like Pang Guang deep down, always feeling that he was not mature enough and too childish. But when she suddenly saw him holding a wedding banquet, for a moment she couldn't accept it. This feeling was very subtle, even she herself couldn't explain why she felt this way.
"Little Sister Ting." Lin Junyun and Pang Guangzheng stood in a row to greet the guests, seeing Zhang Xiaoting had arrived, they hastily called out.
"Lin Mei, you look really beautiful today." Zhang Xiaoting smiled and walked up: "You're getting engaged without even giving me advance notice, I didn't prepare a gift, how embarrassing. I'll definitely make it up to you another day."
