Chen Yuan raised the wine glass in his hand and chuckled: "Congratulations on your wedding! May you live happily ever after!"

Sun Weiwei couldn't drink alcohol, so she poured a cup of tea instead of wine.

"Happy wedding."

Everyone frowned slightly when they saw this. Why was Qiao Chuanbai so respectful to Chen Yuan? He actually wasn't here to see Zhang Fugui!

"Hey? It was Qiao Chuanbai who took the initiative to toast? Am I seeing things right?"

"And Qiao Chuanbai even took the initiative to call Chen Yuan his brother!"

"Could it be that this person is a relative of Qiao Chuanbai? Why did Deputy Director Zhang say that this person has no background?"

"Oh, I told you that Zhang Fugui doesn't get along with this guy!"

"..."

Zhang Fugui's face looked bad to begin with, and after hearing everyone's comments, his face looked even uglier than if he had eaten a dead fly!

At this time, Fang Wude came over with two bottles of wine.

"Oh, luckily we made it in time! Congratulations!"

Although Zhou Lili is not an employee of the Aimin State-owned Hotel, Fang Wude and Qiao Chuanbai are old acquaintances!

As the saying goes: More friends, more paths.

Fang Wude knew Qiao Chuanbai's abilities, so he naturally wanted to be friends with him.

Qiao Chuanbai took the two bottles of wine and said with a smile, "Come on, you're so polite!"

"I'll add a stool for you at this table!"

Fang Wude was about to refuse when he saw Chen Yuan.

"Ouch! Xiao Chen!"

"You're here too!"

Chen Yuan smiled and nodded, "Come over and share in the good fortune."

Seeing Chen Yuan and Fang Wude chatting, Qiao Chuanbai asked in surprise, "Do you know each other?"

Fang Wude pulled a chair and sat next to Chen Yuan.

"Xiao Chen and I are more than just acquaintances. We can be said to be life-long friends!"

Fang Wude spoke with such seriousness that everyone couldn't help but imagine a lot.

After listening to this, everyone started discussing in low voices again.

"Isn't Fang Wude the manager of a state-owned restaurant? How come he knows this peasant?"

"Didn't you hear what Manager Fang said? We're friends for life!"

"Oh, what's going on? I can't even find a way to get to know the manager of the state-owned restaurant!"

"A manager of a state-owned restaurant can't compare to the deputy director of a machinery factory! I don't think Chen is that arrogant!"

"..."

Before everyone could think deeply, a burst of exclamations came from several tables near the entrance of the compound.

"Ah! Isn't this County Magistrate Xu?"

"County Magistrate Xu actually came to the wedding banquet?"

"Hello, County Magistrate Xu!"

"..."

Xu Tianxi was passing by and heard that it was Qiao Chuanbai's wedding banquet, so he bought two bottles of wine.

Qiao Chuanbai's eyes narrowed into slits as he smiled, and he walked forward to greet him respectfully.

"County Magistrate Xu! I didn't expect you to be here!"

"Please take a seat!"

Xu Tianxi waved his hand and said, "I just came to take a look. I won't get involved with you guys."

At this time, Chen Yuan slowly stood up and walked forward to say hello.

"County Magistrate Xu!"

Zhang Fugui couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.

"puff!"

"Chen Yuan, you're really asking for trouble! How could County Magistrate Xu recognize a peasant like you?"

As soon as Zhang Fugui finished speaking, he heard Xu Tianxi looking at Chen Yuan in surprise.

"Ah! Comrade Xiao Chen!"

"Are you here for the wedding?"

Chen Yuan nodded gently, "Yes!"

"My wife and I came here to share in the good fortune!"

Xu Tianxi glanced at Zhang Fugui, then said to Qiao Chuanbai, "Xiao Chen is a very capable young comrade! You must not underestimate him, hahaha!"

After saying that, Xu Tianxi looked at Chen Yuan again and said with a smile: "Your sister-in-law is still asking when she can eat your cooking again!"

Chen Yuan could tell Xu Tianxi was trying to help him, so he quickly pulled Sun Weiwei over and introduced her with a smile, "This dish is my wife Sun Weiwei's specialty. I'll bring her to visit you someday if I have the chance!"

Xu Tianxi nodded repeatedly, smiling from ear to ear!

I just did a favor and got a meal of roasted rabbit in exchange. It was worth it!

Zhang Fugui was completely dumbfounded. He didn't expect that the slap in the face would come so quickly!

How come Chen Yuan even knows the county magistrate? And County Magistrate Xu even took the initiative to speak up for Chen Yuan!

This time, not only Zhang Fugui was stunned, but the people around him were also shocked!

"Am I seeing things? This guy actually knows County Magistrate Xu!"

"Oh my God! Is he really a peasant from the countryside? Then what am I? Am I a drifter from the county?"

"No wonder Chen Yuan dared to challenge Zhang Fugui, it turns out there really is someone behind him!"

"Tsk tsk tsk! This time Zhang Fugui is in big trouble!"

"..."

Zhang Fugui sat there nervously, swallowing his saliva constantly, not daring to raise his head.

Chen Yuan and Xu Tianxi exchanged a few more pleasantries before Xu Tianxi left.

Qiao Chuanbai originally respected Chen Yuan because he had saved Zhou Lili, but after observing him today, he realized that Chen Yuan was definitely not a simple person.

He smiled and asked, "Brother Chen, you are also very familiar with County Magistrate Xu!"

Fang Wude had not said anything just now, but now he finally had the chance to speak.

"Hey, Xiao Chen is so outstanding, you'll understand once you get to know him better!"

Chen Yuan waved his hands modestly, "I don't deserve it!"

"Brother Qiao, go get busy first. There are still so many tables to toast!"

Qiao Chuanbai smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's talk about this later, brothers!"

"Hey!"

……

After a while, the dishes began to be served.

Qiao Chuanbai's wedding banquet was undoubtedly the most luxurious in the family compound in the past two years. Even the cabbage stewed with vermicelli contained a lot of minced meat!

There is also a dish of braised pork offal!

When Chen Yuan saw the braised pork offal, he guessed that Qiao Chuanbai might have bought it from Li Shanghai in the morning.

Sun Weiwei picked up a piece of braised pork offal with chopsticks and tasted it. It was indeed their family’s craftsmanship!

She and Chen Yuan looked at each other, instantly understood each other's meaning, and continued eating with a smile.

The braised pork is put back into the pot and heated, and it continues to emit fragrance.

People at other tables were scrambling to grab the food, and if you were slow you’d miss out.

"This braised pork offal tastes really good!"

"Oh my! This thing is cheaper than meat, it's perfect!"

"Look at the feast Deputy Director Qiao has at his house today! It's the best in the machinery factory!"

"I heard that little bully Zhang Hao is getting married too, this time to Director Deng's daughter from the textile factory!"

"You're really quick! So, won't you also hold the banquet in our compound?"

"Hahaha! That's going to be a good show! Our gift money is really worth it!"

"..."

Zhang Fugui heard everyone's discussion and started to make some plans in his mind.

He has already lost face in front of everyone today. If his son's wedding banquet can surpass Qiao Chuanbai's, then all the face he lost today can be recovered!

Just thinking about it, Zhang Fugui felt happy!

He waited until everyone had almost finished eating, then immediately stood up and cleared his throat.

"Everyone! My son is getting married on the eighth day of next month! We're having a banquet! Everyone, come!"
