Chapter 402
There was a funny little incident that happened when it came to inviting bridesmaids and groomsmen.
Ji Wanmei originally had many good friends and classmates, and Lei Tingjun also had many brothers and friends. So she discussed with Lei Tingjun that they would each find two or three close friends.
Because Zhu Shuangyan is pregnant and about to give birth, and is very heavy-bellied, she unfortunately missed the chance to be a bridesmaid.
When Zhu Shuangyan and Aqiang got married, Ji Wanmei even served as her bridesmaid.
However, there is a local custom that says married women cannot be bridesmaids; only unmarried women can be bridesmaids.
There was nothing that could be done.
Finally, Ji Wanmei asked Luo Chunyan and Zhou Min to be her bridesmaids.
Meanwhile, on Lei Tingjun's side, all of his unmarried brothers were vying for the two best man spots.
In the end, Lei Tingjun made the decision himself, giving one spot to Lao Xiao. Also, considering that A Qiang and Zhou Peng were already married, the other spot was intended for Lao Yang, a former member of the transport team.
As a result, two days before the wedding, Zhao Si came from Guangzhou ahead of schedule.
Zhao Si hadn't gotten married in the past few years, but when he saw that Lei Tingjun was looking for a best man, he pushed Old Yang aside without saying a word and insisted on being Lei Tingjun and Ji Wanmei's best man.
Luo Chunyan then complained to Ji Wanmei, saying, "Who is that fat guy? He's so arrogant, it's really annoying."
Since there were only two bridesmaids and groomsmen, Zhou Min wasn't very good at these kinds of social gatherings with friends and family, and Lao Xiao was also introverted and taciturn. Both of them also had a bit of a bookish streak, so they automatically became a couple.
Luo Chunyan, having honed her skills over the years, previously helped Ji Wanmei train staff for her new store in East China and is now in charge of sales training at Ji Wanmei's clothing company. She has long since developed a sharp tongue and a fiery temper, and can handle any social engagement or drinking party with ease.
The original choice was Lao Yang, who is also a heavy drinker.
So, Luo Chunyan and Lao Yang were originally supposed to help Ji Wanmei and Lei Tingjun, the newlyweds, fend off drinking on their wedding day.
As a result, Zhao Si suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and Luo Chunyan was so angry that she came to Ji Wanmei to reason with her.
Ji Wanmei laughed and said, "Don't let Zhao Si's tough streetwise appearance fool you, he's actually a pretty good guy. You'll know once you've dealt with him twice. He's also quite loyal, and his alcohol tolerance is pretty good, no worse than Old Yang's. If he insists on going, let him go."
Luo Chunyan had no choice but to stomp her foot reluctantly.
That very night, Ji Wanmei heard from Lei Tingjun that Zhao Si, that extraordinary person, had even argued with Luo Chunyan about who should be the main drinker and who should be the secondary drinker on their wedding day.
The two of them are quite an oddball!
******
The first day of the eleventh lunar month was a beautiful day.
The sky was clear and cloudless, and the temperature was just right.
It was a Saturday holiday, so everyone was free.
Ji Wanmei and Lei Tingjun decided to hold their wedding on this day.
The wedding was held at the Hailan Hotel in Pingdong City.
The entire hotel was booked by Lei Tingjun that day to accommodate guests and hold the wedding.
In front of the Hailan Hotel, there are white and pink flower pillars, white gauze and balloons, creating a beautiful and grand atmosphere.
Early that morning, cars began to drive up to the hotel entrance one after another.
The hotel doormen and greeters were busy welcoming guests and helping them with directions and parking.
Ji Xingguo arrived early yesterday, and today, as the head of the family, he was dressed in a smart Zhongshan suit, looking radiant and in excellent spirits.
As a parent representative, I greeted the guests from all sides at the hotel entrance.
Along with Ji Xingguo, representing the parents was Professor Liang, whom Lei Tingjun had specially invited and who was Lei Tingjun's mentor at East China University.
Ji Xingguo and Professor Liang hit it off immediately. They were about the same age and had common topics to talk about. Standing at the door, they greeted the guests with smiles and occasionally complimented each other's younger generation.
Professor Liang was a professor at East China University, so he naturally knew Ji Wanmei, even though he wasn't one of her professors.
Ji Xingguo said that Ji Wanmei had always performed exceptionally well in school, and he knew back then that this girl would definitely be successful in the future.
He praised Ji Xingguo so much that his mouth stretched from the corners of his mouth to his ears.
In return, Ji Xingguo also praised Lei Tingjun, which was a rare occurrence for him today.
With a touch of emotion, Ji Xingguo reminisced, "Back when Lei Tingjun was just an ordinary worker in my factory, I could see that this kid had a stubborn streak. Out of thousands of workers in the factory, he was the only one who, like everyone else, would try to suppress and discipline him, the more he wanted to prove them wrong. Over the years, he has indeed relied on his own efforts, and with the careful guidance of a mentor like Professor Liang, he has come this far. Who would have thought that a few years later, he would become my son-in-law? It's truly fate."
Professor Liang smiled and said, "Who can argue with that? Director Ji is so lucky to have such a daughter and son-in-law."
As they were talking, several Chang'an minibuses drove up, looking dusty and tired.
Ji Xingguo glanced at them and thought they didn't look like relatives from Pingquan.
Ji Xingguo arranged special cars to bring the relatives from Pingquan over early on. Those whose schedules didn't match up also took buses and found the hotel's address to arrive.
It wasn't until the driver of the minibus jumped off that it became clear that he was one of Lei Tingjun's brothers who had been sent to pick up people.
