Chapter 88 Wedding "Performance"

He Han's smile was still very sincere at this moment:

"Sister-in-law, you are so thoughtful! Thank you for the old man's blessing. Their health is the most important thing. We will come to visit again when we are free after we are done."

Huang Qian also smiled and said, "Thank you, Xiaoye."

That's the name they use in the office. I didn't call my husband by that name, and I didn't mind it at all.

The expression on He Han's face didn't change at all, and the slightest hint of surprise disappeared in an instant.

He also went inside with Zhou Junheng when he greeted them:

"Sister-in-law, Ah Heng, I'm sorry. I forgot the time and made you stand here all the time. You should go in and sit down and rest for a while."

Shi Ye just smiled and passed it by.

"It's okay. There are a lot of people here today, so we'll go in. You guys continue with your work."

Watching the two of them go in, He Han once again felt a sense of contempt for Zhou Junheng, thinking, "Nothing special."

They are really an example of a couple that is not in harmony with each other.

Zhou Junheng pretended to be very affectionate in front of others. If he hadn't seen that scene in the hotel, he would have been fooled.

It seems that Huang Qian's eyes are still on the two of them.

He Han said lightly and disdainfully:

"You should have come across Zhou Junheng at work. We grew up in the same compound, and he's been cunning since childhood. Did you just see him? He married in August. The girl is the youngest daughter of the Shi family, and their family background is comparable."

It turns out that they are a perfect match.

The man her sister has loved for so many years actually got married in August this year...

Huang Qian didn't say anything, and he seemed to be just speaking casually.

But it is the last sentence that is quite intriguing, which says:

"…but he has other women out there."

Huang Qian couldn't express her reaction and feelings. What did the man's words mean?

Who is he talking about?

He knows everything?

Giving him a deep look.

Even though his heart was in turmoil, He Han did not speak again. The comment he just made was just a casual one.

I also feel anxious for a few moments.

Another thing is that during the wedding, the bride Huang Qian was pregnant.

But the emcee's process was relatively perfectionistic and long-winded...

But the bride's pregnancy was not enough to cope with so many things, and she was exhausted as she hurried through one ring after another.

Another thing is that it may not be possible to delay any longer as the marriage is urgent.

By next year, Huang Qian's belly will no longer be big enough for a wedding.

Therefore, at the very beginning, because the "steps" were already messed up, the wedding was just a link that was added back later, so it seemed to be inserted and also seemed rushed.

If we really look at it from the perspective of Feng Shui, it makes more sense... The master's calculation is impossible.

The winter solstice is the day with the longest nights, so it’s so dark...

I didn't see other office colleagues at the time, but the invitations had been sent out, so it was a coincidence that they were not all busy.

So the explanation is roughly there. Today's wedding banquet is only open to a limited number of people.

Sitting in the audience, the environment is definitely elegant and high-end, and the layout is also very exquisite... Well, at least it looks wealthy and prosperous.

But it did feel boring to Shi Ye.

When people are bored, even the name of the wedding banquet menu becomes a bit surprising and interesting. She thinks the name of this dish is quite unexpected.

"A happy marriage for a hundred years" is more conventional, and stewing snow bird's nest with rock sugar, longan and red lotus can also be called "sweet and sweet".

"A Garden Full of Spring Colors" is a dish of bountiful grains and seasonal vegetables from the countryside, and the dish presentation is very vivid.

But "intimate companionship" is stewed pigeon with matsutake mushrooms, and I can't think of any connection at this time.

It feels like opening a blind box, so it adds a bit of fun.

Whether to post it or not, I also feel that we must affirm the designer's talent. After all, he did put some thought into the name of the dish. It was quite a brain-intensive process, piecing together things from all over the world to create a name that was similar and had good meaning.

After hearing what Zhou Junheng said, he nodded, "Indeed."

"If they want to change careers, they can open a ramen restaurant."

Shi Ye was puzzled: "What does this have to do with ramen making skills?"

Do designers also need a chef’s license?

Isn't this the same as requiring a security certificate that is completely irrelevant to driving a car?

Zhou Junheng replied seriously, "It does matter. A ramen shop owner can pull that kind of talk."

Shi Ye: “…”

You will never be able to guess Zhou Junheng's jokes, let alone guess under what circumstances he will tell you one.

A slightly tiring wedding banquet.

As soon as Shi Ye walked in, he took off his shoes and lay down comfortably on the soft sofa.

The "loving wife" character in this wedding was too obvious, at least that's what Shi felt.

Zhou Junheng squatted down and put them neatly in the shoe cabinet, and then asked her to walk slowly so as not to trip.

After washing my hands in the kitchen, I poured Shi a glass of warm water.

I took two sips and the dryness in my mouth caused by the heating was relieved a little.

Then he said to Zhou Junheng, "This guy really is always concerned about face. He Han's love for Huang Qian just now was too 'deliberate' and expressive. It really gave off a strong sense of character creation."

Zhou Junheng remained noncommittal. His wife complained that his comments on such general topics were often very simple and commonplace:

Now is the time.

"After all, there's an old saying: 'Even if you don't make steamed buns, you still have to fight for your reputation.'"

The attitude is obviously disdainful.

It's really the same as putting steamed buns on He Han.

Shi Ye laughed. In fact, the more he interacted with her, the more he realized that Zhou Junheng's sharp tongue was really not hidden at all.

Come to think of it, as the eldest son of a family with everything going his way, how could he not be a little arrogant?

The wildness in one's bones and the temperament in front of others are not contradictory.

If he really wants to argue with you, he can clearly refute your theory without you having to say anything.

"You're really straightforward, but can you tell me from his perspective the benefits and value of doing this, both in public and behind the scenes?"

He Han is really like the kind of person who "doesn't do anything without profit".

"Want to listen?"

He sat beside her, his slender fingers tapping casually on the glass, his profile calm and smooth, his posture relaxed beneath the casualness.

Shiye nodded and leaned his head on the man's shoulder.

"Let's chat for a while before going up for lunch. It's just the right time."

She has been feeling a little sleepy lately, but lying down right after lunch will make her gain weight and is not good for her stomach.

Zhou Junheng spoke slowly. When it came to analyzing a topic, he always paid special attention to being organized and then breaking it down into one, two, and three.

"In high society, status and money alone are not enough; character and family tradition, a long-term influence, are always indispensable."

"The image of a loving wife and family embodies several characteristics: responsibility, stability, and trustworthiness. This will make everyone who cares about you feel that you are more trustworthy."

"It's very easy to quickly gain respect and goodwill by 'breaking circles' across boundaries. This circle could be the leaders above you or people at the bottom of your social circle who you don't interact with. This is the moral high ground."

"There's also reputation insurance. In today's highly regulated society, the higher your wealth, the more scrutiny you'll face from the outside world and the ever-present media scrutiny."

"If a scandal is accidentally exposed, the image of being a good husband, a good father or a good family member will act as a reputation buffer. People may find it hard to believe that he would do such a thing if he loves his wife so much."

"Once the character is established, people may think that it is just a small mistake that everyone makes, and it is not a fundamental problem of character or other issues."

"There's one more thing He Han has to do. As the family reaches a high position, it places greater emphasis on inheritance and long-term influence. Loving his wife is a label, and it's also a narrative project that paves the way for his children and the next generation of heirs."

"If most people consider a family's 'family tradition' to be good and upright, then their children will also be more likely to gain trust and resources in prestigious schools, celebrity circles, and other fields. How could children raised by such good people have any major problems or be unreliable?"

"The above three points are probably for show to outsiders, but ultimately for him it's all about internal publicity and consolidating his position."

"To my wife, children, and everyone in the family, I am the best, the one who gives the most sincerity and patience. This makes it easier for me to gain greater control and privileges in decision-making regarding inheritance distribution and other matters."

I listened quietly, admiring Zhou Junheng's clear logic and sharp insights on any issue. The depth of literary thinking is even greater than this.

After Zhou Junheng's analysis, she was able to associate the above practices with the surrounding areas:

In daily interviews, he talked about “I often pick up my children and wife from get off work”;

A cozy corner where a family photo is casually placed on the desk;

Attending various public celebrity events with his wife and daughter, and giving important speeches to thank his family at charity events, award ceremonies, or public speeches;

There are also donations to charitable funds related to women, children, etc.

Taking a deep breath, discussing issues with him always feels like I am undergoing a brainstorming session.

She had to focus and be attentive, giving her summary:

"So this wedding was by no means a display of 'private morality,' but rather the management and control of 'implicit class discourse,' and the soft infiltration of consolidated resources."
