It was a bright and sunny early summer morning. Chengdu, which is usually mostly cloudy, was surprisingly sunny today.
Fu Hanchen stood at the entrance of the restaurant, looking at the dozens of chairs neatly arranged on the lush green grass and the elegant decorations, but his face was filled with sorrow.
Mao Kai suddenly appeared out of nowhere, patted his old subordinate on the shoulder, and laughed, "What are you thinking about? They've prepared Soft Zhong cigarettes, aren't you going to grab a couple?"
Fu Hanchen shook his head heavily.
Mao Kai noticed his unusual behavior and asked, "What's wrong?"
Fu Hanchen recalled what happened more than three years ago and said, "I just don't understand, I joined the company earlier than him, so why..."
Mao Kai scoffed, "Then you arrived later than me! According to you, does that mean President Xia should marry me or Old Zhang?"
Fu Hanchen: "But you're already married."
Mao Kai: "But who doesn't like President Xia? If she's willing, I'll do it in a heartbeat..."
Fu Hanchen reminded him, "Brother Kai, your wife is here today too, right?"
Mao Kai snapped out of his daze, immediately turned around and looked around, and breathed a sigh of relief when he confirmed that his wife was not beside him.
He patted Fu Hanchen's shoulder heavily again and said in a serious tone, "Today is President Xia's big day. Don't cause trouble for me here. If you're going to be happy, then be happy, understand?"
Fu Hanchen's lips tightened, and he nodded with difficulty, but he still couldn't help muttering, "I just don't understand, what exactly does President Xia see in that kid..."
Mao Kai: "Don't say bad things about Lu Zhe and let others hear it. Do I need to remind you? He's the company's vice president now, managing a whole bunch of subsidiaries and branches. Many people are envious of his performance. But what's the use of being envious? He achieved those results himself. Nobody can find fault with him, understand?"
Fu Hanchen lowered his head, unable to speak.
Mao Kai suddenly said, "Look, Lu Zhe is coming over."
Fu Hanchen looked up and saw Lu Zhe, dressed in a suit, walking out of the restaurant. However, the person next to him was not the bride, but the wedding emcee.
Looking at him, Fu Hanchen had to admit that this brat was indeed a bit more handsome than him.

Lu Zhe and Xia Xiaobing chose to have a lawn wedding.
The long, narrow dining table is used for individual servings, where each person only eats the portion served to them. There's no need to turn the table or fight for food.
At the wedding, apart from a few relatives from Xia Xiaobing's family, the rest of the attendees were company employees, including staff from branch offices and subsidiaries. Lu Zhe had zero relatives present. Fortunately, the wedding ceremony was very simple and did not require the parents to attend.
The moment Xia Xiaobing appeared in her white gauze dress, applause immediately erupted.
She looks absolutely gorgeous today.
Without needing anyone to hold her hand or help her, Xia Xiaobing stepped across the lawn and came to Lu Zhe.
She couldn't help but laugh and say, "This day has finally come."
Lu Zhe nodded, and couldn't help but sigh, "Yes, this day has finally come."
Xia Xiaobing smiled and asked, "How do you feel? Are you satisfied?"
Lu Zhe: "It's not over yet, you're asking that too soon."
Xia Xiaobing: "Honestly, I want it to never end, and for you to stay with me like this forever..."
Lu Zhe also laughed: "Then, what about Xiao Qiu's version 3.1? And the MR project?"
Xia Xiaobing stroked her pretty chin and nodded, saying, "That's true. We can't be away from work for too long. There are still many things waiting for us to do."
The emcee, standing to the side, interjected helplessly, "Ladies and gentlemen, it's my turn to speak. Don't steal my words!"
Lu Zhe and Xia Xiaobing exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.
The rest of the wedding ceremony went smoothly. However, a strange situation arose during the ring exchange.
Of course, this seemed a bit strange to the guests present, but for the people involved, it was part of a pre-arranged plan.
The emcee said into the microphone, "Now it's time to exchange rings. You've probably seen this at other weddings, the bride and groom exchanging rings. But this couple seems a little special. Now, please, best man, bring up both sets of rings!"
Shen Leyou, dressed in a vest and suit, appeared carrying a pot.
That pot was the kind commonly used in hot pot restaurants, only smaller in size. However, judging from Shen Leyou's gritting teeth, its weight seemed considerable.
The emcee continued, "At other weddings, the bridesmaids bring the rings, but here it's the best man. The reason, as you can see, is that this container is a bit heavy. So why did the bride and groom choose this kind of container for their rings?"
Lu Zhe picked up the microphone that had been prepared beforehand: "Because she loves hot pot."
Xia Xiaobing also picked up the microphone: "Because we feel that the shape of hot pot has a sense of yin and yang intertwining, which is more suitable for us."
As Shen Leyou brought the pot over and listened to the newlyweds' words, the emcee couldn't help but want to laugh.
However, he maintained his professionalism and said very seriously, "Both of you newcomers are very unique, so now..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xia Xiaobing had already taken action on her own.
The pot is a divided pot, with two sides. One side holds the man's ring, and the other side holds the woman's ring.
Xia Xiaobing simultaneously reached out with both hands, picked up the two rings, and unceremoniously put them on Lu Zhe's finger.
The emcee stared at the scene, stunned. A famous historical moment suddenly flashed through his mind—when Napoleon became emperor, wasn't it he who snatched the crown and placed it on his own head?
