Chapter 46: The Unexpected Event at the Engagement Ceremony

  When Wang Zhi arrived at Lin Garden Restaurant, it was just past 10 o'clock in the morning. However, the entrance of Lin Garden Restaurant was already bustling with excitement. Many cars were parked outside, and a bright red banner hung above the main gate, which read: "Congratulations to Mr. Cheng and Miss He on their engagement."

  A Ze and He Ying were both dressed in formal attire, standing at the door to greet guests. When they saw Wang Zhi arrive, A Ze hurriedly and warmly shouted: "Xiao Zhi is here! Haha, Xiao Jing is also here, she's grown into a big girl now! Come on in, sit down, today we must drink well!"

  "Hehe, this is a must, I'm here specifically to drink Brother Aze's wedding wine." Jingyi said with a smile.

  "Welcome, welcome." He Ying also said with a smile. Today's He Ying was wearing a pink cheongsam, which added to her charm.

  "A Ze, you're a lucky kid. Treat others well from now on." Wang Zhi joked with a smile and handed the box Xu Xiaoran had given him when he left to He Ying, then walked in with Jingyi.

  A Ze has splurged on this engagement, booking a luxurious private room at Lin Garden Restaurant. When Wang Zhi arrived, there were already many people inside, all chatting in groups of three to five.

  "Haha, Dr. Wang is also here, come sit over here." Just as Wang Zhi was about to find a place to sit down in the private room, he heard someone calling his name and quickly looked over to see that it was Huang Jianming.

  "Director Huang has also arrived." Wang Zhi smiled and walked over to greet him. He had heard from He Ying last time that Huang Jianming and He Ying's father were old comrades-in-arms, so it was normal for him to come to He Ying's engagement party this time.

  "Who is this?" Huang Jianming asked, looking at Wang Zhi beside Wang Jingyi.

  "Oh, this is my sister Wang Jingyi, she insisted on coming over to join in the fun." Wang Zhi introduced.

  "I said you two look a bit alike, turns out it's your sister, she's really cute." Huang Jianming smiled.

  "Haha, Huang Mao's head is a joke, making Director Huang laugh." Wang Zhi said as he introduced to Wang Jingyi: "This is Director Huang of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, the big boss of your police uncles."

  "What kind of police officer are you? Do you introduce people like that?" Huang Jianming couldn't help but laugh and cry.

  "Uncle Huang is great." Wang Jingyi was indeed sweet-tongued, directly calling him uncle, leaving Wang Zhi speechless for a moment. Your brother and I are of the same generation, how can you call him uncle? Isn't that making me lose face?

  But Wang Zhi only thought about it in his heart, saying it out loud would obviously offend people. With Huang Jianming's age as Wang Zhi's uncle, he was absolutely not at a disadvantage.

  Just as the three were talking, two more people came in, also "old acquaintances" of Wang Zhi's. They were Jianghuai City's Vice Mayor Jiang Huanyang and his son Jiang Fuhai.

  Jiang Huanyang also saw Wang Zhi and Huang Jianming not far away as soon as he came in, a flash of displeasure on his face, but quickly covered it up, put on a smile and walked over.

  "This Jiang Fuhai should be protected from the outside, and yet he's been locked up for so long. The people below are getting more and more outrageous." Huang Jianming said in a low voice.

  Wang Zhi could hear that Huang Jianming's words were meant for him, to avoid misunderstanding. In fact, Huang Jianming was also being overly cautious, as Wang Zhi was not someone who had never seen the world and didn't know the ways of it. With Jiang Huanyang's identity, if he couldn't even get his son a medical parole, that would be strange indeed.

  "Haha, it's Dr. Wang, and Director Huang is also here, what a coincidence!" Although Jiang Huanyang was seething with anger towards Wang Zhi in his heart, he still had to put on a smiling face, no choice, Wang Zhi not only had a deep relationship with the Lin family but also had connections with the Qi family, now he couldn't afford to mess with him. And this time, his son's bail was coincidentally met with Wang Zhi's intervention, if Wang Zhi were to pursue the matter further, it would be very troublesome indeed.

  "Who is this?" Wang Zhi heard Jiang Huan Yang's words but pretended to be puzzled and couldn't help asking.

  "Haha, this is our Jianghuai's Mayor Jiang Huanyang." Huang Jianming introduced very cooperatively.

  "But I remember the mayor's surname is Lin? What? Has he been replaced?" Wang Zhi became even more perplexed.

  "He is the acting vice mayor," Huang Jianming added.

  "Oh! It was just a deputy, you scared me." Wang Zhi said with feigned fear.

  Wang Zhihe and Huang Jianming sang in harmony on the sidelines, causing Jiang Huanyang's face to suddenly become very embarrassed, for a moment he didn't know whether to stand or walk.

  Several people on the side had already seen Huang Jianming and Wang Zhi chatting in one corner, guessing Wang Zhi's identity. Suddenly, they were stunned by what was happening before their eyes. Who is this young man? So powerful, he can make a deputy mayor tremble with fear...

  "Doctor Wang, the last time was my fault for not teaching him properly. I hope Doctor Wang will consider that Fu Hai is still young and spare him this once." Jiang Huan Yang's face was thick enough, he hesitated for a moment, then smiled again.

  "Haha, Mayor Jiang is joking, I'm just a doctor, no official position, no power or influence, how can I forgive? Even seeing you makes me a bit excited." Wang Zhi said with a smile, but his face showed no excitement at all, instead there was a hint of mockery. To be honest, Wang Zhi wasn't someone who held grudges or dwelled on things for long, it's just that the other party had no remorse and didn't seem to have learned any lessons.

  You said you would let him go out for medical treatment, and Wang Zhi would have known about it even if he didn't know. He would have turned a blind eye to it, and that would have been the end of it. As a parent, at least make him reflect on his actions, either by staying home and thinking things over or sending him somewhere for training - neither is a problem. What's most unacceptable is that in less than half a month, he's already taking your son, who's still a prisoner, out to show off, I really don't know if this is lawlessness or just too much, anyway, it's unbearable.

  Jiang Huanyang was once again rebuked by Wang Zhi. As a standing committee member and vice mayor, he had some real power and status, but after putting aside his pride to accompany Wang Zhi, he was met with the latter's cold ridicule. Suddenly, Jiang's face turned red with anger, and he suppressed the smile on his face, saying: "Doctor Wang, isn't this going too far? I've already apologized, but you're still clinging to it, are you looking down on me, Jiang?"

  "Hey, aren't you satisfied yet? It was I who made you come over to apologize. You've ruined my mood and now you're still being reasonable?" Wang Zhi's face turned cold as he said this.

  "Brother!" At this time, Wang Jingyi on the side had already been stunned, and hurriedly pulled Wang Zhi's sleeve. When Wang Zhi introduced Huang Jianming to her earlier, although Wang Jingyi was surprised, she could still accept it. After all, Wang Zhi had just smiled and chatted with Huang Jianming. Now that Jiang Huanyang came out again, Wang Jingyi couldn't react quickly enough. Looking at Wang Zhi's expression, he actually knew this Executive Vice Mayor so well. How was this possible? When did her own brother become so powerful?

  "Kill the excitement." Wang Jingyi was pulled away by Wang Zhi, who didn't bother to respond to the other party. He greeted Huang Jianming and walked away with Wang Jingyi.

  Huang Jianming and Jiang Huanyang naturally had nothing to say, he is considered a die-hard Lin's faction person, no need to give face to Jiang Huanyang, also followed Wang Zhi and left, leaving Jiang Huanyang and his son standing foolishly on the spot, becoming a laughing stock for everyone.

  Wang Zhi and Huang Jianming found a quiet corner where no one was around, sat down casually, and chatted idly while waiting for the engagement ceremony to begin.

  As time went on, more and more people came to the private room. Apart from some officials from the city, most of them were from the army. Wang Zhi knew that A Ze's family didn't have any background, so these people mostly came because of He Ying's father's face.

  At twelve o'clock, the engagement ceremony officially began. A middle-aged man in a suit accompanied Azhe's parents into the private room from outside, and also entering at the same time were Azhe and He Ying.

  Aze's parents, Wang Zhi and his wife, were ordinary office workers who had never seen such a grand scene before. When they arrived at the wedding venue, they were thrilled to see so many big shots attending their son's wedding. Aze's mother was beaming with joy, smiling and nodding at everyone in the private room. Suddenly, she saw someone that made her face change color, her mouth agape, and her smile turn into a look of extreme terror. She fainted and fell to the ground, but was quickly caught by Aze who rushed to support her from behind.
