Ji Wanmei, naturally beautiful and graceful, was the factory director's daughter. At eighteen, she was admitted to the provincial university. With her braids and floral skirt, her waist swaying...
Chapter 400
Now that the garment factory matter has been settled, Ji Wanmei has assigned some of the staff she brought back from East China to work there, leaving only a few people in the design studio in East China.
The design studio was previously called a workshop, but now that the main factory has been established, Ji Wanmei has officially registered it as a company.
The name remains the same: Oriental Charm Clothing Co., Ltd.
Whether it's under Ji Wanmei's name or Lei Tingjun's name, they have truly made the 'Oriental Series' brand famous.
However, those will be their focus in the future.
Now, as a bride-to-be and groom-to-be, Ji Wanmei's most important task is preparing for the wedding.
As the wedding date drew closer, she and Lei Tingjun were so busy they were practically in two places at once, wishing they could conjure up a clone to take over their duties.
Originally, if they had just delegated these tasks to others, it wouldn't have been impossible for them to shirk their responsibilities.
However, both Ji Wanmei and Lei Tingjun are somewhat serious and perfectionists who value ritual.
How could such an important event as marriage be handled carelessly?
This is their wedding, a ceremony to witness their love, and neither of them wants to be perfunctory or make do.
Therefore, Ji Wanmei and Lei Tingjun personally participated in deciding everything, from the wedding process and banquet to the hotel, venue decorations, emcee, what kind of attire to wear, what kind of wedding favors to design, and who would be the best man and maid of honor.
The wedding dress was easy to arrange; Ji Wanmei designed and made it herself throughout the entire process.
She designed a total of three dresses for herself and Lei Tingjun.
One is a welcoming dress, which is relatively simple and elegant; another is a ceremony dress, which is a Western-style wedding dress; and the last is a toasting dress, which is a traditional Chinese dress designed by Ji Wanmei.
While Lei Tingjun also wore three sets of formal attire, Ji Wanmei had put a lot of thought into it.
They would coordinate their outfits: she would wear a welcoming dress, and Lei Tingjun would wear a modern Zhongshan suit; Ji Wanmei would wear a wedding dress, and Lei Tingjun would wear a tailcoat; Ji Wanmei would wear a Chinese-style horse-face skirt, and Lei Tingjun would wear a traditional Tang suit with a front opening.
As for the banquet and dishes, Ji Xingguo was put in charge of that; he was quite concerned about those things.
When deciding on the location for the wedding, Ji Wanmei and Lei Tingjun initially had different opinions.
Lei Tingjun believed that since they met in Pingquan County and Ji Wanmei's home was also in Pingquan, the wedding should be held in Pingquan County.
However, Ji Wanmei felt that since their new home was set in Pingdong City, and she would be living there with Lei Tingjun, it would be better to hold the wedding in Pingdong.
After all, they are getting married, not having Lei Tingjun move in as a son-in-law. Holding the wedding banquet in Pingquan County would be embarrassing for Lei Tingjun. Instead, they are having the wedding banquet at the bride's parents' home.
Lei Tingjun certainly wouldn't think that way. His thoughts always prioritized Ji Wanmei, which is why he took the initiative to propose holding the event in Pingquan County.
But Ji Wanmei was very insistent on this matter.
She left Lei Tingjun speechless with just one sentence: "My father is marrying off his daughter, not taking in a son-in-law. Besides, if we hold the wedding in Pingquan County, where would we go to enter the bridal chamber?"
She glanced at him sideways: "Could it be that you want to spend your wedding night with me in our house, under the surveillance of Comrade Ji Xingguo?"
Lei Tingjun fell silent the moment he imagined that scene.
He doesn't want to, he definitely doesn't want to.
Who wants to be watched by their father-in-law on their wedding night?
“We have friends in Pingquan County, Pingdong City, East China, Guangzhou, and Zhejiang. Choosing Pingdong City is your home turf. The hotels in Pingdong City are also better in terms of environment and accommodation. The hotels in Pingquan County are already quite outdated. When so many of our relatives and friends come, we won't have enough places to accommodate them.”
“It’s different in Pingdong City. There are so many hotels that can arrange accommodations for relatives and friends to come and visit for a few days without any problem. Plus, transportation is convenient. Whether you come from East China or Pingquan, Pingdong is a compromise, the best and closest location, without troubling either side. After the wedding, we can go straight back to our new home. Isn’t that great?”
Before Lei Tingjun could even nod, Ji Wanmei said, "This is my decision, no discussion."
Lei Tingjun was helpless; he hadn't said he disagreed.
Fine, he could never win an argument with her, and he was willing to listen to her. The wedding would be arranged according to her wishes.
“My wife is so thoughtful. Okay, I’ll listen to you.” He lowered his head and kissed Ji Wanmei on the cheek.
Think about it, Lei Tingjun himself is also looking forward to it.
Ji Wanmei smiled and pushed him away: "Who gave you permission to call me that before you've even officially received your title?"
Lei Tingjun hugged her, gently rubbing her ear against it, and kissed her earlobe with his lips: "I can't wait, I want to shout a couple of times first."
Ji Wanmei felt ticklish from his kisses, and his warm breath on her earlobe made her feel weak all over.
Perhaps because the wedding is approaching, and the beast that has been celibate for twenty-eight years is about to be unleashed, he has been clinging to Ji Wanmei very much these days.
Almost every time the two of them sat down together, he would snuggle up to hug her and give her lots of kisses.
This caused Ji Wanmei to have her rhythm disrupted every time she was halfway through her important business.
The pen slipped from his hand, and the notebook he was taking notes in fell from his knees to the ground.
He cradled her in his palm, lifted her onto his lap, leaned against the sofa behind him, and had her straddle his waist while he embraced and kissed her.
"Wife, wife..."
