After arriving at the military district gate, Su Nuan's car could not enter directly, so Su Nuan and Johnson were stopped at the gate.
A soldier came out of the guard room and saluted the two men.
"Comrades, this is a military stronghold and you cannot enter without permission. Please get off the bus and register."
Only after the two got out of the car and completed registration did the guard let them drive in.
After the car stopped at the entrance of the government building, Su Nuan took Johnson directly to Commander Lu's office.
After knocking on the office door, Su Nuan went straight in.
Commander Lu was processing documents in his office at this time. He looked up and saw Su Nuan coming over, and laughed heartily.
"Little Nuan girl, why did you come to see an old man like me today?"
"Uncle Lu, I wasn't in Shanghai during the New Year, so I came here to wish you a happy new year. I'm sorry for being so rude."
"We are all family, don't be so polite, it's okay, by the way, that brat Gu Chengfeng did something right, he took you home early, hahahahaha"
Commander Lu looked at Su Nuan with a teasing smile.
"Uncle Lu, please stop teasing me. I came here today to give you an invitation."
"Invitation? Are you and that kid Gu Chengfeng planning to get married?"
Su Nuan was teased and said with a look of despair, "Uncle Lu, please let me go. It's not a wedding. It's the Lantern Festival soon. I plan to hold a party and invite some elders and friends to have fun together."
"So that's how it is. I thought Gu Chengfeng was out on a mission, so it couldn't be a wedding. I didn't see that guy file a marriage report. So it turns out it's a Lantern Festival party. Tell me, who are the people involved?"
"I just went to the city government to invite Mayor Wang and a few other city leaders I've dealt with before. The others are just some merchants and friends I've dealt with."
"Okay, I'll go then. Wait a minute. Do you have any extra invitations?"
"Yes, Uncle Lu, do you have anyone to invite?"
"Wait, I'll make a few calls and you'll know soon."
After saying that, Commander Lu quickly made several phone calls. Only after the other end of the phone responded did Commander Lu put down the phone.
"Xiao Nuan, please leave me a few more invitations later. When the time comes, I will bring a few more military district leaders to show you off. After all, you are the daughter-in-law of our Shanghai Military District. You can't let others bully you."
"That's great, thank you Uncle Lu."
Commander Lu waved his hand and said, "Alas, we are one family and we should not talk behind each other's backs."
"Uncle Lu, I've brought you some New Year gifts this time. They're not expensive, but I'll give you two boxes of tea leaves from a century-old tea tree for you to taste."
"This is tea from a hundred-year-old tea tree. It's really good stuff. I won't be polite."
As the two were talking, the door was pushed open by a gentle and elegant middle-aged man. The voice came before the man arrived.
"Old Lu, what good things did you get? You look so happy. We're old partners, so we should be happy to share."
When Commander Lu heard the shameless words of the visitor, he said directly, "Lao Guan, you have a dog's nose. You can't smell any good things."
"Hahaha, I told you, old man, you hid something, oh, it's tea leaves."
As he spoke, he quickly picked up another box of tea on the table and stuffed it into his arms.
Commander Lu was so angry about this that he blew his beard and glared, "Hey, you old Guan, you call yourself a scholar, but you are just a bandit."
"Hey, we are all old revolutionary comrades, what's yours is mine"
"You are so shameless, aren't you afraid that the younger generation will laugh at you?"
Comrade Lao Guan only then noticed that there were other people in the office. He quickly reacted and smiled kindly.
"Hey, this is Comrade Su Nuan, hello, I am the political commissar of the military region, you can just call me Uncle Guan."
Su Nuan greeted everyone politely, "Hello, Uncle Guan."
"Hahaha, what a beautiful girl with bright eyes and white teeth, Gu Chengfeng is lucky!"
Commander Lu: "Thank goodness Gu Chengfeng acted early, otherwise who knows which kid would have gotten the advantage."
"Haha, that's right. Before the Chinese New Year, I was wondering how this stone-like boy could suddenly become smart and write a love report. It turns out he found a stunning beauty."
"That brat has a very sharp eye."
Su Nuan listened to the two elders joking from the side, just listening quietly without any shyness.
After the teasing, Commander Lu asked.
"Lao Guan, what do you want from me? Are you here to steal my tea?"
"I just heard on the phone that Comrade Su Nuan invited us to a cocktail party. I guessed Comrade Su Nuan hadn't left yet, so I came over to take a look out of curiosity."
Commander Lu said unhappily, "I think you are too idle. I will give you half of my official duties later."
Comrade Lao Guan felt something was wrong when he heard this and started to play dumb. "Well, I'm busy with something. I'll leave first. Comrade Su Nuan, I will definitely go to the cocktail party. See you then."
After saying that, he disappeared in a flash.
Commander Lu said angrily, "This old guy runs pretty fast."
Seeing this, Su Nuan also wanted to say goodbye. "Uncle Lu, we'll see each other in a few days. Here are the remaining invitations. Please give them as you like. Drink the tea first. If you like it, call me and I'll send it to you."
"Okay, drive slowly on the road."
Su Nuan said goodbye and thanked Commander Lu, then drove home with Johnson.
