For Li Haitao's family, today was like a stab in the butt - they finally opened their eyes.

Although they didn't know Li Mei's exact age, judging from her facial features, they were sure that she was no more than forty years old.

It's really outrageous for a woman to serve as a county magistrate at this age.

They could guess with their buttocks that the Li family's strength was definitely not just what it appeared on the surface.

Others don’t know how difficult it is to get to this point, but they do.

You have to know that the brothers Li Chengcai and Li Chengliang are both in their forties and are only at the department level now.

It can be said that if you want to reach Li Mei's level, it is not enough to have ability, you also need support from others.

Thinking of this, Li Chengcai was shocked.

Because he suddenly thought of a question. Li Mei has a relative who is a Hong Kong businessman. How did she get promoted so quickly?

Logically speaking, she should have suffered in the past few years. Even if she was rehabilitated and compensated by the government later, it would be impossible for her to jump so many levels at once.

Unless she had never suffered in the past few years and had always been in officialdom.

If this conjecture is true, then there are only two possibilities. One is that no one knows that Li Mei has a Hong Kong businessman relative. The other is that the person who supports her is so powerful that even if others know about this, no one dares to touch him.

Li Chengcai thought about it carefully and felt that Li Mei's situation should not belong to the latter, but to the former.

"Brother Li, don't outsiders know that your family has a Hong Kong businessman relative?"

Li Jiakang looked over in surprise. You're quite clever. "Yes, back then, this relative of mine fled south to escape the war. My family always thought they died along the way, but who would have thought they actually made it to Hong Kong? Two years ago, my cousin contacted us, but we were afraid of getting in trouble, so we haven't dared to tell anyone until now."

Li Chengcai secretly said, "As expected," and a bright smile appeared on his face. He praised, "This is what they call good luck comes naturally."

Hearing this, Li Jiakang cooperated and laughed out loud.

Sun Xiu took the opportunity to say, "Third brother, go get the children out and have the older ones tell the relatives in the city that I'm having a banquet at my house tomorrow night. Go to Sunjiatan and tell your two uncles the news."

Li Chen responded and walked out immediately.

The people in the room soon saw several little heads sticking in from the door.

Li Jiakang stopped laughing and said to Li Haitao's family, "Don't leave in a hurry. Stay here for two more days. Tomorrow night we will invite relatives and friends to come over and have them witness Xiaoju and Haitao's marriage."

Of course, Li Haitao's family would not refuse this, and they even wanted to do their part.

Li Chengcai pondered and said, "Brother Li, we'll be included in the banquet. Tell me how much it costs and I'll pay you when the time comes."

Li Jiakang shook his head and said, "I appreciate the kindness, but forget about the money. We can afford it."

Hearing him say this, Li Chengcai and his wife continued to persuade him.

Naturally, Li Jiakang and his wife refused repeatedly.

The two sides argued for a long time before Li Jiakang and his wife won.

In fact, they were quite helpless. In order to prevent Li Chengcai and his wife from thinking too much, they could only talk to them.

Otherwise, they just need to tell the budget for the banquet and Li Chengcai and his wife will shut up immediately.

Li Haitao and his family stayed in the Li family's old house for a whole day and had lunch and dinner there.

After they left, Li Jiakang and others started to get busy and arrange the banquet.

This banquet was extremely sumptuous. There were hardly any vegetables on the table. There was only chicken, duck, fish and meat, and the wine used was also the finest Fenjiu.

There were dozens of tables like this, and the guests were seated in three waves.

This scene gave relatives and friends a clear understanding of the Li family's wealth and power, and they also realized how much the Li family doted on Li Ju.

You should know that many families' wedding banquets do not meet this standard, but the Li family only uses such a banquet to entertain relatives and friends who are witnesses to Li Ju's marriage.

Li Haitao and his family were shocked at the time.

When they came to their senses, Li Chengcai and his wife couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

Fortunately, Li Jiakang and his wife did not agree to my request for money at that time, otherwise I would be regretting it so much that I would bang my head against the wall.

On the third day after the banquet, Li Xu and his group took a car to the city railway station.

After arriving in Wuhan, they sent Li Ju and others to school, and the Li brothers and Li Haitao's family went to a hotel to book a room and wait for the train to depart.

Li Haitao's family boarded the train first, and after several twists and turns, they finally returned to Yangzhou.

After resting for a whole night at home, Li Chengcai, who had recovered most of his energy, did not go to work but came to the Yangzhou Watch Factory.

Li Chengcai was a leader, so even without a letter of introduction, the watch factory sent someone to receive him.

When the receptionist learned the purpose of his visit, he took him directly to find the technician in the factory without saying a word.

Li Chengcai pulled out a neatly folded piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to the technician, saying politely, "The name on it is a watch brand. Could you please take a look and see if you recognize it?"

The technician took the paper and unfolded it. After just one glance, he laughed. "I know. This brand is Patek Philippe. It's a famous Swiss watch brand and one of the best in the international watch industry."

Li Chengcai couldn't help but show a surprised expression, "According to you, this brand of watch is not cheap?"

The technician couldn't help but laugh out loud, "This brand of watch isn't even sold in our country. Do you think it's expensive or cheap?"
