Chapter 679 I can finally drive openly!
In Su Dong’s hometown, engagement is actually a very important step before marriage.
The man will first invite relatives and friends, and go to the woman's house in a grand manner. At this time, the woman's family will also hold a banquet and invite all relatives and friends to witness it. The two sides will "kill" each other at the banquet.
According to tradition, if the woman can get the groom drunk, she wins the jackpot, which is somewhat like a show of power to the groom, and the biggest task of the groom's relatives and friends is to protect the groom.
Entering the new era, many customs and habits have changed.
Su Dong has been abroad for many years and has few friends in China, so he doesn't take this kind of thing seriously. According to him and Wang Chuqing's idea, the parents and relatives of both sides just need to sit together, have a meal, go through the process, and have a witness, and the matter will be settled.
But Su Dong's parents felt that this was not sincere enough.
In the words of their hometown, this is degrading the woman.
Wang Qingquan agreed with the opinions of Su Dong's parents. They only had one daughter, whom they cherished since she was a treasure. Naturally, they wanted her engagement to be decent. At the very least, people should see the man's sincerity and not neglect their daughter.
However, as the leader of a state-owned enterprise, he also had some taboos, so he suggested that the procedures should still be followed, but some bad habits should be avoided if possible, such as the bride price, which should be given symbolically and not be a big deal.
Whether it is Wang Chuqing's family or Su Dong's family, there is actually no need to show off anything by organizing an event.
It is said to be simple, but after a week of busy work, it still feels simple.
On the day of the engagement, Su Dong, accompanied by his parents, came to Wang Chuqing's house with the betrothal gifts and betrothal money.
Their family also kept the ceremony simple, but the neighbors had known each other for many years, and many of them came to send their blessings. In addition, they had many relatives and friends, and Wang Chuqing also invited a few close friends and classmates, so the scene was quite lively.
Su Dong and Wang Chuqing lost their autonomy throughout the whole process. They were directed by their parents and the matchmaker, like puppets with strings. The young people moved at their command and strictly followed the engagement process.
Finally, Su Dong half-knelt and put on Wang Chuqing's finger a diamond ring that he had carefully prepared.
This was the biggest highlight of the entire event, a diamond ring worth 20 million.
Originally Wang Qingquan was against it, thinking it was too expensive, but Su Dong and Su Wenjie both insisted, thinking that Wang Chuqing should not be treated unfairly, so Wang Qingquan had no choice but to agree.
In addition to the diamond ring, there was also a single-family villa in a luxury residential area in Shanghai that had just been fully paid for and was directly registered in Wang Chuqing's name. The gift money was 88,888,888, which is exactly eight eights, and in Su Dong's hometown, it means prosperity.
Of course, Su Dong was not the kind of tycoon who would show off his wealth, so he couldn't just take cash over directly. Instead, he opened a bank account in Wang Chuqing's name and deposited money into it.
The process and scene were relatively simple, but all the guests attending the engagement could feel that the Su Dong family really valued Wang Chuqing. Apart from anything else, giving such a heavy gift right after the engagement was convincing enough.
Moreover, throughout the engagement process, especially at the banquet held near the residential area afterwards, Su Dong and Wang Chuqing were holding hands the whole time, occasionally giving some cute looks and movements. Anyone could read two words from their faces: sweet.
…
After completing the procedures in Shanghai, Wang Chuqing accompanied Su Dong back to his hometown.
Su Wenjie held a small party in his hometown, which was also very simple. He just invited some relatives and friends to come for a meal, told them that Su Dong was engaged, and then introduced Wang Chuqing to everyone.
Just like when they were in Shanghai, everyone who saw the young couple praised them, saying they were a perfect match made in heaven.
Afterwards, the two found time to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate.
"From this moment on, I am no longer driving without a license!"
Walking out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Su Dong held up the two marriage certificates in his hand and laughed.
Wang Chuqing snuggled up to Su Dong, shyly reached out her hand, and gently hit him a few times, which actually added a bit of sweetness and happiness.
However, the two of them quickly left the busy Civil Affairs Bureau.
It caused quite a stir when he was applying for the license inside just now. Not only those who came to handle the business, but also the staff of the Civil Affairs Bureau and even the leaders were alarmed. In the end, Su Dong felt as if he was caught driving without a license. It was so embarrassing!
Now that I have a license, I can drive legally, confidently and openly!
…
The news of Su Dong's engagement and marriage certificate spread quickly in the country and then abroad, causing reactions from media and fans all over the world, who sent them their blessings.
On the contrary, Su Dong’s friends already knew what they needed to know, so they didn’t make a fuss about it.
Ronnie was on vacation in the United States. When asked by the media about Su Dong's engagement news, he shamelessly acted like an abandoned woman and said he felt like he had been broken-hearted.
Needless to say, this once again sparked heated discussions among the media and fans.
There had been rumors before that he and Su Dong had an ambiguous relationship. Now that he said this, it seemed as if it was confirmed.
This is also in line with Ronnie's current style, which is to be wild!
He really likes this kind of life under the spotlight. He would even feel very lost if he is not noticed. This has a lot to do with his childhood experiences.
However, in private, he and his family sent their blessings to Su Dong and invited him to dinner.
…
Messi was on vacation in Argentina and was asked by the media about Su Dong's engagement. He said he had known about it for a long time.
Then, the boy gave his heartfelt blessings very obediently and in a very formal manner.
As for when he would get engaged like Su Dong, or even get married, Messi shyly said it was still too early.
His girlfriend is still studying.
…
Pepe, Marcelo, David Silva, Iniesta, Modric, Ribery, Robben...even the Bayern Big Three and many other relatives and friends in the Soviet Union sent their blessings.
Since this was an engagement, Su Dong only invited relatives to attend, so they were not among the invited guests. Even his best friends Ronnie, Pepe and Messi did not receive an invitation, but they will definitely be there when he gets married in the future.
Football Emperor Beckenbauer said in his column that he was very happy to hear the news of Su Dong's engagement, because it represented that Su Dong was becoming mature and stable, and family was the driving force for a player to work hard.
…………
…………
Su Dong's engagement has attracted the attention of global media and fans, but transfers in European football are still proceeding in an orderly manner.
In June, Bayern striker Podolski officially transferred to Cologne for a transfer fee of 10 million euros.
When the Prince of Cologne transferred to Bayern, the transfer fee was also this price. Now, Cologne bought back Podolski, and it is still the original price. Strictly speaking, Bayern is actually at a loss. After all, Podolski performed well in the national team, and there are many teams that want to get him.
In addition, Demichelis also moved to La Liga for a transfer fee of 7 million euros.
The Argentine central defender's position in Bayern has been severely squeezed, especially as Bayern announced that it would vigorously support young players to move up to the top. Hummels is on the team's key training list, and Demichelis and Van Buyten have both been affected.
After Demichelis left the team, the competition for Bayern's central defender is still fierce. Badstuber and Hummels are both candidates for Bayern's main central defender in the future.
The two sales brought in a transfer fee of 17 million euros. Bayern began to target Schalke 04's right-back Rafinha, hoping to introduce this full-back who performed well in the Bundesliga to strengthen the team's right side.
Although Schalke 04 announced that Rafinha is not for sale, the club and the player are both anxiously waiting for an offer from Bayern.
In the Bundesliga, no team or player can refuse an invitation from Bayern.
This was true before, and it is even more true now.
…
Bayern started to be frugal.
Not only did they not buy anyone, but they also made 17 million euros, which is very rare in the Bundesliga.
But Hoeness announced that the team will start a round of contract renewal, which also shows the operational transformation of Bayern's management.
The overall construction of the team is almost done. What needs to be done next is no longer investment, but maintaining this competitiveness.
But other Bundesliga teams don't think so.
Two and a half years after Su Dong joined, especially as Bayern's performance improved, the Bundesliga's influence around the world also increased, and other Bundesliga teams also benefited from it, which led to an increase in the purchasing power of the Bundesliga.
As soon as the transfer market opened, Werder Bremen bought out Pizarro and introduced players such as Borowski, Marin and Moreno, spending 15 million euros.
Peking University King Hamburg is even more wealthy. It spent 10 million euros to introduce World Youth Championship Golden Boot winner Berg from Groningen in the Netherlands, and spent 9 million euros to introduce Dutch striker Elia from Twente. The two major signings cost nearly 20 million euros, which is considered a wealthy-level transfer operation in the Bundesliga.
Wolfsburg is another wealthy team. They spent more than 10 million euros to introduce Martins from Newcastle. Together with Marseille midfielder Ziani and Auxerre midfielder Karen Bailey, these three transfers also exceeded 20 million euros.
In addition, teams such as Stuttgart, Leverkusen and Hoffenheim are all increasing their investment in the transfer market, especially Hoffenheim. This team was a dark horse last season and is now obviously going to increase its investment to achieve even better results this season.
As soon as the transfer market opened, Bundesliga teams showed good purchasing power, and many of them were cross-league transactions, including bringing in players from Serie A and the Premier League, which shows the attractiveness of Bundesliga teams.
This also makes the German media generally happy, because behind the signings, the healthy management of the Bundesliga is reaping the rewards.
As Bayern becomes stronger, the Bundesliga also benefits.
This is also the reason why the Bayern Big Three decided to sign Su Dong, not only to drive the development of the Bundesliga on the court, but also to lead the development of the Bundesliga outside the court.
This is Bayern's responsibility as the Bundesliga champion! From now on, the deal to introduce Su Dong has produced gratifying results.
