No one would have thought that while Mengdu and Liping were grandly holding their wedding at the "Little Nanhai Hotel" in the provincial capital, an incredible incident occurred at the home of Deputy Mayor Wang!

Just after 7 o'clock that night, Mengdu and Liping entered the multi-functional hall of the "Little Nanhai Hotel" in full view of everyone. A "AO" A6 sedan quietly drove into a small road on the left side of the south gate of Xihu Park, the provincial capital, and stopped directly at the door of Deputy Mayor Wang's villa.

The car door opened. Deputy Mayor Wang, who had just returned from a business trip from Changsha, stepped out of the car with steady steps and greeted the driver. The driver drove away.

Deputy Mayor Wang opened his own security door with the key and heard the sound of a TV in the room. Before he could enter the door, he heard a frightened question from a girl inside:

"Who-?!"

Then, Deputy Mayor Wang saw the little nanny standing up from the sand in a hurry, staring at the gate with a pair of surprised eyes.

"Oh, Reiko, it's me!"

Deputy Mayor Wang kindly greeted the nanny, and after entering the living room door, he answered while changing his shoes.

"Uncle-? You, didn't you, Mengdu marry the bride today? Why are you-?"

Lingzi looked at Deputy Mayor Wang in shock and asked questions.

Deputy Mayor Wang did not answer Lingzi immediately.

After closing the door, he walked straight to the sand in the living room from the door.

"Reiko, you want to ask, why didn't I go to Mengdu's wedding? Right?"

Deputy Mayor Wang came to the sand, put down his briefcase, sat down opposite the TV, which was the one where the little nanny was sitting on, and said to the little nanny with a smile:

"Tell you, I went to Changsha on a business trip the day before yesterday and I have not been back until now."

"Oh, uncle, you sit down first. I'll make tea for you."

The little nanny still looked at Deputy Mayor Wang with confusion, then habitually took out the tea cup and tea leaves from under the tea table, put the tea leaves in the tea cup, and then went to the automatic electric water heater to flush the water.

"Uncle, please have tea."

Soon, the nanny delivered the brewed Longjing tea to Vice Mayor Wang.

"Oh, OK. Reiko, just now, did you want to ask me why I didn't attend the wedding in Mengdu?"

Seeing that the nanny was still looking at him with confusion, Deputy Mayor Wang smiled and said to her:

"Come on, Reiko, sit down."

The little nanny sat obediently on the single sand on the side of Changsha, looking at Deputy Mayor Wang with his eyes fixedly.

"Reizi, let me tell you, my uncle's identity is different from others. Today, if I went to the wedding scene, I wonder how many people would support me!

Think about it, these days, as long as you go to other people’s weddings, do you want to give gifts?

If you give gifts, will those guests attending the wedding give gifts as long as they see me present?

Now, everyone has little pockets, and they can’t take any gifts; if they give too much gifts, they will increase the pressure of life.

This is a dilemma!

Since that's the case, it's better not to go to the wedding scene!

Are you right?

As long as I am not present, those guests attending the wedding will not give gifts because of my presence, let alone big gifts! Yes?

Another more important point is that this time I dreamed of holding a wedding, and there were not many invitations to go out.

Moreover, when the invitation was made, the family also made clear requests to all the guests who received the invitation, requiring that all those attending the wedding were not allowed to give gifts!

Also, today I didn’t attend the Mengdu wedding. In the future, those who have not received the Mengdu wedding invitation will not give me any comments. Because I didn’t attend the Mengdu wedding myself!

Do you think there is any reason?”

Deputy Mayor Wang talked about the reason why he didn't attend the Mengdu wedding today. After saying that, he looked at the nanny with a smile.

"Then——Mengdu got married today. No matter what, you are Mengdu's father. Can you be a father if your son gets married? "

Reiko felt flattered to the detailed explanation that Vice Mayor Wang had just given.

But Reiko still couldn't fully understand:

How can the biological father be out of the scene when the biological son gets married?

Although before that, his father was on business trip, he was back now? Based on the time required by ordinary people to hold a wedding, I guess Mengdu’s wedding has just begun now? Since he was back on a business trip, no matter what, he, a father, should go to the wedding scene immediately!

Lingzi looked at Deputy Mayor Wang's kind smile while thinking about her own opinion in her heart.

In fact, Lingzi didn't know what Deputy Mayor Wang was thinking.

Today, the reason why Vice Mayor Wang did not attend his son's wedding was indeed his special considerations.

Moreover, for this decision, Vice Mayor Wang had a fierce dispute with his wife!

The dispute occurred on the evening of September 28th.

That night, after Deputy Mayor Wang returned home from the municipal government, the mayor's wife told him that his son's marriage was fully prepared, including the hotel arrangements, the selection of the wedding company, the wedding ceremony, which guests were invited, etc.

However, beyond the mayor's wife's expectations, Deputy Mayor Wang said slowly after listening to her introduction:

"Well, you have prepared well! Mengdu and Liping's wedding, according to the plan you have determined! I'm going on a business trip tomorrow morning. I'm going to Changsha to attend a provincial capital city green environmental protection construction seminar. Mengdu and Liping's wedding, I won't attend."

"What? What are you saying? What do you mean? My son holds a wedding, a lifelong event that only once in his life. You, a father, have to go on a business trip?!"

The mayor's wife immediately widened her eyes.

"Hey, Xiuhua, don't be anxious first."

Deputy Mayor Wang seemed to be mentally prepared for his wife's strong reaction.

He said calmly:

"On the evening of National Day, when Mengdu and Liping hold their wedding, you will be the plenipotent representative of the groom's parents and give a speech to the guests attending the wedding. Of course, before the wedding, I will greet the host of the wedding company. I will ask him to explain to the guests the reason for my absence during office at the wedding ceremony."

"No, the child gets married, it's just this time in his life. You said you won't participate? You're so sorry! OK, if you don't participate, I won't participate! At that time, if you miss the big matter of the child, I will let Meng settle the score with you!"

"Look at it, tell me not to hurry first!"

Deputy Mayor Wang shook his head slightly as he looked at his wife and said to his wife slowly:

"Xiuhua, you are not unaware that the central government is now very strict in the construction of party style and clean government. Any children of leading cadres who get married must report to the Discipline Inspection Commission department! I have reported to the Discipline Inspection Commission about Mengdu getting married.

Do you still remember the example I mentioned last time? A village official in the suburbs of Beijing had no problem. He was immediately dismissed just because he held a banquet for his son!

Moreover, there are many leading cadres across the country who are constantly being investigated, punished, dismissed or removed from office because of their weddings and weddings for children or the elderly. You are always unwilling to be punished for your son’s marriage, right?”

"Is that serious? Don't scare me! Mengdu and Liping are married, and we only have twenty tables of wine! This is not called a big fuss, right? Besides, according to your request, we greeted all the guests during the invitation: no one is allowed to give gifts! We will not accept any gifts!

I think that if we hold a wedding for our son like us, the superiors will not only not investigate or punish you, but will instead treat you as a role model and a model of integrity and self-discipline for publicity!”

The mayor's wife refuted her husband's statement with confidence.

"Well, I said you, I don't think about it. Who is helping with Mengdu's marriage? Is it Xiao Hao? He ordered a banquet at the "Little Nanhai Hotel" and costs 2,000 yuan per table, right? In fact, that's the standard of 3,000 yuan!

Also, Xiao Hao and Meng are engaged in marriage, so how can I avoid being a little bit of the public? If I go to the wedding, what if someone reports it in the future and the Commission for Discipline Inspection participates in the investigation, do you think I can get rid of it?

Besides, although we notify all guests attending the wedding not to give gifts, can the people attending the wedding do it?

What if someone gives a gift?

Do you accept it or not?

If you don’t accept it, people say you are unkind;

What about taking it? If you accept the gift and I am present, will it be a catch-up?

Over the years, although I have paid more attention to all aspects of my relationship in my leadership position, who can guarantee that I have not offended people in my daily work? What if someone holds a grudge against me, deliberately takes revenge on my face, and secretly report to the media or the discipline inspection department, am I looking for trouble?

Also, Mengdu and Liping got married. We only had twenty tables of wine. Among them, several tables were in-laws and relatives of our family. There were not many guests invited outside. If others knew that Mengdu did not invite them in the future, would they have any objections to us?

However, if Mengzhong gets married and even my father doesn't participate, it's hard for others to say anything, right?

In short, if I say a thousand words, this time my son and Liping get married, if I am not present, the benefits will far outweigh the disadvantages!”

Deputy Mayor Wang patiently explained to his wife, analyzing the disadvantages of attending the wedding from multiple angles. After the analysis, he also said earnestly:

"Xiuhua, you are also a cadre who has worked in government departments for many years. We cadres who work in government must consider issues carefully, comprehensively and politically wisely. You are very clear about this, right?"

To be fair, Deputy Mayor Wang is much more meticulous and profound than his wife.

Deputy Mayor Wang said many reasons in one breath, and it was the reason that the mayor's wife could not argue!

The mayor's wife was stunned by him and could not speak for a long time.

"As you say, are we people who work in government departments no longer living in the world? Are we not passionate? Do we not have family, relatives and friends?"

After holding it in for a long time, the mayor's wife finally said something inappropriate.

"Xiuhua, this is not a matter of not being in the world, nor is it a matter of not having any emotions and desires, nor is it a matter of not wanting relatives and friends; it is a major issue related to politics! People like us must have political sensitivity no matter when, and have the awareness and measures to prevent problems before they happen!

Oh, by the way, last time you told me that the little nanny at home said that when Mengdu got married, he would go to Mengdu’s wedding to make trouble! Right? Think about it, what if the little nanny really went to Mengdu’s wedding to make trouble? Should someone do the ideological work of the nanny at home?"

"Didn't you do her ideological work? Besides, I think Reiko's mood has been relatively stable these days and shouldn't cause trouble!"

The mayor's wife felt strange in her mind while answering her husband:

Why did the husband suddenly ask this question?

"I said Xiuhua, I dare not say anything so sure! I mean, on the National Day, what if Lingzi's thinking gets into a dead end? What if she loses her mood and really makes trouble at the wedding ceremony in Mengdu? We must prevent any problems before it happens, and we must not be careful of it!"
