said."We lost something when we passed by here earlier today and came back to look for it!" Knowing that the other party was human, Zhou Ruoying mustered her courage and said."Hmm... What did you lose...Chapter 739: The Wedding in Progress (Part 2)

After hearing what the old man said, Wang Jun felt a slight relief and showed signs of excitement. When he made the phone call earlier today, the old man wasn't sure if he could become the governor; although it had been approved by the central government, Governor Wu's appointment was also approved by the center, but still ended up being revoked. Naturally, at that moment, the old man couldn't guarantee this to Wang Jun.

But just now, when the old man said he would become the governor, it was almost certain. This made him completely put his mind at ease; if there wasn't a ten out of ten chance, an elder with such standing wouldn't speak like that.

Moreover, even though the old man hadn’t mentioned Xiao Yu’s identity earlier, he had attended the wedding himself. The influence of the Xiao family could be seen from this alone.

'No wonder he dared to hit Wu Ting without any qualms! Zhang Yin also wasn't afraid of anything and brought his troops to the Public Security Bureau!' Thinking about this, Wang Jun took a deep breath. But who exactly was Xiao Yu No matter how hard he thought, he couldn’t figure it out. As an official with some experience, although his rank was relatively low compared to some big shots, he knew quite a few influential families. However, no matter how he tried to think, he hadn't heard of any influential family named 'Xiao'

Unable to make sense of it, Wang Jun stopped thinking about it. He guessed everything would be clear by tomorrow.

The next morning, after having breakfast at Hangzhou's reception hall with Liu Yong, the two set off for the Diaoyutai Hotel. Although it was a bit early, it wasn't too early; most of those close to Xiao Yu were usually around this time. Even though there wouldn’t be much they could do to help, greeting guests would still be necessary. Besides, he couldn’t wait to find out Xiao Yu’s specific identity.

When Wang Jun arrived at Diaoyutai Hotel, not many people had come yet. However, some relatives of the Xiao family were already there. As soon as their car approached the entrance, it was stopped by several security personnel. It should be noted that this place wasn't open to the public and a lot of leaders would be coming today, so inspections were quite strict.

Since it was for a wedding today, only the identities of certain people needed to be confirmed strictly; there wouldn’t be any body searches or such. Of course, those attending weren't allowed to bring weapons with them.

After showing their invitation cards to these security personnel, Wang Jun and Liu Yong entered Diaoyutai Hotel. Once their car was parked in the public parking area within Diaoyutai Hotel, they headed towards the non-public area.

Afther passing another checkpoint, the two finally arrived at this legendary place.

Here, even Liu Yong hasn't been before, let alone Wang Jun. Although they haven't been here before, there are dozens of people standing at the entrance chatting in front of a building. From afar, one could see that this place is where Xiao Yu indicated on the invitation card. Thus, the two hurriedly walked over.

At the front door of the building, there were about ten people waiting there. Zhang Dahai, Lu Jianhong, Ye Fei, Tian Chong and others walked here; these people are all close to Xiao Yu but did not go to the ancient city. They are responsible for welcoming guests from various places. Originally, if it was later, they should personally welcome at this place. However, now that they are in the ancient city and it's still early, Zhang Dahai and others took over their duties.

Seeing Wang Jun and company arriving, these people quickly let them inside. At this moment, the entire hall is empty, with only a couple of people sitting here. Xiao Yu’s side did not have an obvious seating arrangement today, so Ye Fei and his team arranged for Wang Jun and company to sit down before turning around and leaving.

Wang Jun saw Ye Fei leave; he frowned slightly. Among the dozen or so people at the entrance earlier, a few seemed quite familiar to him, but he couldn't recall exactly where he had seen them. Nevertheless, these people are definitely not ordinary individuals.

As time passed, guests trickled in one after another, finding their seats as they entered the hall.

Xiao Yu did not set up seating arrangements, but everyone who came had a sense of where they belonged. Thus, even without an official arrangement, each guest knew their place and ended up sitting at the back tables.

Wang Jun understood that those arriving now were either low-ranking or close to the hosts; he didn't pay too much attention to it.

As Wang Jun looked at the people seated in the hall, suddenly his pupils constricted. A look of surprise appeared on his face as he discovered that sitting at the very back was none other than Chu Guoqing, the Secretary of the Municipal Committee from Deep Sea City.

He and Chu Guoqing were roughly equal in status, but seeing him seated at the back while Wang Jun himself sat near the front made him feel a bit uneasy. Sometimes, one's seating position reflects their status; even without an official arrangement, people tend to follow this unspoken rule.

Chu Guoqing also received Xiao Yu’s invitation call and hurriedly arrived in Beijing upon receiving it. Although he didn’t know Xiao Yu’s specific identity, the incident at the Deep Sea Public Security Bureau made him see Xiao Yu's background power. Moreover, there seems to be a connection with the Song family behind Xiao Yu as well; this makes Chu Guoqing have to be cautious. Besides, having deep-rooted influential friends can open up many paths in official circles.

Wang Jun and Chu Guoqing aren't particularly close, but they do know each other. Thus, seeing Chu Guoqing sitting alone at the back, Wang Jun walked over with Liu Yong.

In fact, Wang Jun couldn't sit here anymore. Chu Guoqing, who was at a similar level to him, sat in the last row, while he sat in the middle. How could he continue sitting there If someone of higher status were to sit behind him later on, it would be very awkward. Therefore, when he saw Chu Guoqing sitting down, he walked over.

"Party Secretary Chu, hello!"

"Hmm Party Secretary Wang You're here too! Come and sit down quickly."

After Wang Jun arrived at Chu Guoqing's location, he greeted him with a smile. When he heard the greeting from Wang Jun, Chu Guoqing looked up and was slightly surprised to see Wang Jun. However, he quickly hid this surprise and招呼Wang Jun to sit down.

Chu Guoqing himself found it very boring staying here, so when he saw Wang Jun come over, he promptly invited him to sit down. Although the two weren't particularly close, they did know each other, and more importantly, their positions were roughly equivalent, so there was no awkwardness in talking.

As time passed, more people arrived; however, none of them moved forward to take a seat, with most choosing spots around the middle. Wang Jun and Chu Guoqing recognized many of these people, including several secretaries-general from the provincial committee and provincial government.

Even those secretaries-general from the provincial committee and provincial government only sat in the middle positions. Seeing this, Wang Jun let out a long sigh of relief. Although his position as governor didn't create much fuss, it wasn't his yet; sitting there might give people an impression that he was overjoyed with his current status.

Seeing this situation, he couldn't help but feel secretly relieved for having taken the last seat early on.

A short while later, sounds of cars and laughter came from outside. Hearing these sounds, everyone in the room knew that Xiao Yu had returned with his bride. Therefore, they all stood up and walked out.

Outside, Xiao Yu's car was parked at the entrance, and those who went to pick him up along with relatives from Yun Family got off their vehicles.

Although they knew this was Beijing, they didn't know exactly where it was. However, upon seeing towering trees and blooming flowers making the environment very beautiful and spacious, even these ordinary people who hadn’t seen much of the world knew that such a place in Beijing must be quite high-end.

After Xiao Yu and the others got off the vehicle, they first took Yun Xi to the rest room for a brief rest. Along with her were several of her close friends and parents. The other relatives from the Yun family were invited into the grand hall by Song Hushan, Zhang Dahai, and others.

When Yun Xi’s relatives saw this luxuriously decorated grand hall, they all became rather reserved.

Song Hushan led the Yun family's relatives to sit in a row on the west side. Meanwhile, Yun Xi's father came out from the rest room.

When he arrived and saw everything here, he too was taken aback by this hotel. He thus rushed out to attend to these relatives for fear they would do something inappropriate.

But when he noticed how reserved everyone was, none chatting nor touching the fruit platter on the table, his father breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Everyone, don’t be polite; just treat this place as your own home."

Initially, he was afraid these relatives would do something improper. After all, while they were city residents, they lived at the bottom of society as ordinary people. Yun Xi’s father thus worried about them causing a scene. But upon seeing how reserved everyone was and no one chatting or touching the fruit platter on the table, he feared slighting them.

"That's right; treat this place like your home. Don’t be too polite!" Just as Yun Xi’s father said that, a voice sounded behind him.

Turning around to look when hearing this voice, Yun Xi’s father smiled upon seeing Xiao Yu speaking.

Yun Xi's father had been saving face today. These relatives were all envious of him.

The thing was that before coming here, they went to Xiao Yu's house first as a tradition. It was about letting these Yun family members see their daughter-in-law’s home. When seeing the quadrangle courtyard at Xiao Yu’s place, they were all stunned. Although some relatives had told them about it, listening and seeing are different.

The yard contained small bridges over streams with pavilions and terraces. All of this showed how extraordinary the house was. These people knew Beijng's housing prices well enough that upon seeing this courtyard, they were instantly stunned.walk.After the two people left, Xiao Yu locked the door. He then realized that he needed an assistant, someone who could help him fetch medicine and watch over his place when he was away; otherwise, l...
