The leader is my girlfriend

At her sister Lu Wanwan's request, Liu Miaomiao took on the important task of counting the number of Liu family members attending the wedding banquet. However, the number of people who actually needed to be counted was relatively small, and the Liu family was sparsely populated. Liu Miaomiao even secretly speculated that only two people would be able to attend the wedding banquet, including herself.

Lu Wanwan's uncle Liu Hao, also known as Liu Miaomiao, has a family of four. His father has been working in the Southern Provincial Military Region, and his mother is a doctor in the military region hospital. Due to the special nature of their work, the couple is not in Beijing for many years. They can only come back for two days during the Chinese New Year, but not every year. The family will meet for a while, have a meal, and then return to work after the holiday to continue remote communication.

The eldest brother, Liu Yan, had a dream of joining the military and, under a false name, went to the Northwest Military Region to seek a position. Since then, there has been no news for two or three years. The only information available is that he is still alive, doing well, and even received a promotion. As for his details, nothing more is known. In this family, reunions have become a luxury. Throughout the year, or even several years later, it is difficult for the whole family to gather together and see each other in person.

When Liu Miaomiao graduated from high school, Mr. Lu discussed with her whether she should join the military art troupe. However, Liu Miaomiao refused the suggestion without a second thought. The idea of ​​her entire family serving in the military sounded truly glorious. However, from childhood to adulthood, Liu Miaomiao had never truly experienced the so-called "warmth of family." That day, Wang Yiming's description of the hardships endured by military wives felt to her like a disguised description of herself. After all, in some ways, she, too, was a true left-behind child.

Her elder sister, Lu Wanwan, grew up independently without her parents, but her parents were still alive, though their whereabouts were unknown. One thing had long puzzled her: if her parents were so busy that they rarely even saw each other, how did they find the time to give birth to her? Although they had never lacked pocket money and lived a rich material life, the emotional bonds within this family were truly fragile and weak, though they could pretend to be selfless.

My uncle Liu Zhe had been working in Beijing as the Minister of Foreign Trade. He had personally led the Canton Fair. Although Liu Zhe was quite old, he was still single. (As for why he had never married, Liu Miaomiao speculated based on the gossip she had heard. It was said that Liu Zhe had studied abroad, and the reason he had never married was most likely because he had a girlfriend while in a foreign country and had a deep love experience, which made him unable to forget that relationship many years later.)

Besides, there were no close relatives, so after a thorough count, there was less than one table... In order to avoid trouble, Liu Miaomiao suggested that they just find a place to share a table.

If Liu Zhe knew that Liu Miaomiao was fabricating rumors about him, he would definitely let this little girl deeply understand what it means to be deeply loved by her loved ones, and let her experience what it means to be unforgettable.

Now let’s talk about Mr. Lu. The guests he invited to the banquet were just a few old comrades-in-arms. Unfortunately, these old comrades-in-arms are basically not in Beijing. They are all in charge of various regions, and even fewer of them can come. After all, they are old and their physical condition is not as good as before, so it is better to avoid the trouble of long journeys.

But even so, those old comrades who were unable to attend in person still sent their younger generations to represent them. With Mr. Lu keeping a low profile, four tables were finally gathered.

An Chong and his wife Cui Jinhua were relatively normal. Since they had been working at the steel mill and were well-connected, they had given out countless donations over the years. They had initially thought it was all wasted, but unexpectedly... they had made a profit.

So they notified a lot of people, from the factory director and deputy factory director above them, to their colleagues in the same office, to the directors and team leaders in charge of workshop affairs, and even the security guard in the duty room. An Chong specially went to notify them. Together with the neighbors in the family compound, the number of people was quite considerable, so they booked eight tables.

On the other hand, the situation was different for Wang Yiming. He had just arrived at the garment factory not long ago and could be said to be a newcomer. His relationships with everyone were still unfamiliar, and the range of guests he could invite was relatively narrow. In the end, he only informed the head of his department, the security guard, Accountant Zhang and Secretary Liu who had been on business trips with him before, and two masters from the transportation department.

Oh, by the way, a few people from the design department were notified, and Wang Yiming reluctantly got together to form a table. He was usually quite nice, but he was really embarrassed to ask others to contribute. He sincerely believed that few people were willing to do so, but he was afraid that others would find fault if he didn't notify them, so he was very conflicted.

On Lu Wanwan's side, partly out of relationship development and partly out of pure curiosity, a table and a half of her out-of-town university classmates gathered. They had taken leave from their jobs and rushed to Beijing without stopping, determined to see for themselves what kind of husband their school's once-famous "heavyweight" had chosen. They privately speculated on a family marriage. Lu Wanwan had also contacted the garment factory director and deputy director, and they gathered for four tables.

To be on the safe side, to avoid the awkward situation of insufficient seating due to a sudden increase in the number of guests, they ended up adding two extra tables. They thought that would be enough, but unexpectedly, upon hearing the news, uncle Liu Zhe dragged Liu Miaomiao to the Lu family. He demanded an explanation. Why so sudden? His precious niece was getting married, and to whom? Which damned yellow-haired boy was it?

(After entering the Lu family, Liu Miaomiao’s first words were, “Sister, I didn’t say anything. I was forced to come here…”

Lu Wanwan was speechless, "Actually, you can talk about it appropriately..."

Liu Zhe observed, "Don't tell? If you don't tell, then it's a secret that's hard to explain. Forceful plunder won't work...")

Back when Mr. Lu had arranged Lu Wanwan's blind date, he had been somewhat disapproving. Having studied abroad, he believed in freedom of love and marriage. Even divorce was perfectly normal. How could one hastily settle a lifelong event after just a quick meeting and a brief acquaintance? Especially since neither the Lu nor the Liu families needed a so-called family marriage to consolidate their status or gain benefits?

However, when his niece mentioned his significant other, he remembered!

Wang Yiming?

So it was the person whose English pronunciation was quite similar to his! So, these two hadn't been together for just a day or two. They must have been together after falling in love. But why rush to get married? Liu Zhe's thoughts were a bit off—so off that he might have discovered the truth.

Well, now that the dust has settled, and Uncle Lu also believes in Mr. Lu's vision, there will be no more tests. If they are compatible, they will stay together, and if not, they will separate. It doesn't mean that you have to be together for life after getting married. If you feel it is not suitable, then you can separate.

However, unlike Mr. Lu, he was not as low-key. Instead, he asked Lu Wanwan to add three more tables for him. He was about to be transferred to the Planning Bureau, and he felt that now was the perfect time to pave the way for his niece in a grand manner.
