Chang'an Street in Beijing, as the most central street in the capital, is visited by many people at any time. Although the Spring Festival holiday has passed, many people still come to Beijing to travel and want to see the landmark buildings of the capital. But tourists who come here today will be disappointed, because the Great Hall of the People is not open today, and the number of guards around it is much higher than before.
In the square in front of the Great Hall of the People, a man looked at the yellow line drawn at the door and said to his friend who was visiting Beijing: "It seems you are out of luck! The Great Hall of the People is closed for activities today. Look at this attitude. , maybe the national leaders are coming here."
His friend said: "There's nothing we can do about it. This is where the central leaders gather. We are just ordinary people, not national leaders. We can enter the Great Hall of the People if we want."
There are many people who think the same as these two people. After all, for ordinary people, the Great Hall of the People, like Zhongnanhai, is the most solemn and sacred place, and it is the place that many people want to visit most when they go to Beijing. But of course they all know that due to the special nature of the Great Hall of the People, it is not a place that anyone can enter if they want. Not to mention that there are often activities of central leaders here. Even when there are no activities, there are always people here every day. The number of visitors is limited.
However, when these people could only stand outside the yellow line, facing the solemn Great Hall of the People, sighing the disappointment that they could not go in to visit, something unexpected happened to everyone.
I saw three buses with happy characters on them coming from Chang'an Street and drove straight into the parking lot of the Great Hall of the People. After the buses stopped, many people got off and walked into the Great Hall of the People. Hall.
People who saw this scene immediately felt that their minds were a little overwhelmed. The same question was echoing in everyone's mind: Are these people here to attend the wedding banquet? But isn¡¯t the Great Hall of the People a representative of central power? Why can we still hold a wedding banquet here?
The first reaction of these people was that they must have been dazzled and saw it wrong, but no matter how they wiped their eyes, the three buses with the word "happy" on them were always parked there. It also shines brightly in the sun.
Is this world about to be overturned?
Many people think so. In fact, they have misunderstandings about the Great Hall of the People. They think that the Great Hall of the People is just a place where central leaders carry out activities. This is actually caused by ordinary people¡¯s excessive worship of power. In fact, the Great Hall of the People It's just a place for meetings and banquets. If that's the case, why can't it be used for wedding banquets?
It¡¯s just that it¡¯s impossible to hang a wedding banquet sign at the entrance of the Great Hall of the People, otherwise people in the square will know: Today, the wedding of Chen Ping and Ye Lingzhi will be held here.
Of course, it is not easy to hold a wedding here. It is not something that can be done by just anyone. First of all, you have to go through a lot of procedures, go through a lot of reviews, strictly register the number of people and license plates, and stipulate the time for vehicles to enter, etc. wait.
After all, the Great Hall of the People is not an ordinary hotel. The security at the gate will only recognize the license plate and not the person. If the license plate is incorrect, no one will be able to enter. No matter whether the vehicle arrives early or late, it will not be allowed to enter.
Guests who come to attend the wedding banquet must pass identity verification and undergo strict security checks one by one. If the identity information does not match, or there are extra people added temporarily, they will not be allowed to enter.
Like those outside the Great Hall of the People, except for some senior officials, the guests who came to the wedding banquet were still as if they were in a dream. It felt incredible, including Concubine Xiao Shu and Chen Ping's old leader Han Jianfeng. They were not They have never been here before, but being there and attending a wedding banquet here are two different concepts. They never imagined that Chen Ping could actually hold a wedding banquet here.
Even they are like this, let alone other people. They all feel that their hands are not hands and their feet are not feet.
Walking in the corridor of the Great Hall of the People, everyone looked very nervous and excited. Chen Ping's cousin Guo Tingping said to her mother with a pretty face full of excitement: "Let me just say, my cousin is the best!" "
Guo Tingping's mother is Chen Ping's second aunt Zhao Wanzhen. She just nodded numbly to her daughter's words, because until this moment, she still had not recovered, even though she knew that Chen Ping would be here in the Great Hall of the People before she came. There is a wedding banquet, but knowing and actually coming here are completely different concepts. It is normal for your mind to be confused.
¡°But it¡¯s okay that Zhao Wanzhen didn¡¯t come to her senses. If she came to her senses, she would definitely blame her husband for not finding a way to find Chen Ping¡¯s parents earlier and settle the matter between her daughter and Chen Ping.
As early as when Chen Ping was still the section chief of the Shagang Municipal Party Committee Office, Zhao WanzhenShe wanted her daughter to get married with Chen Ping, so she asked her to go on a blind date with Chen Ping. Later, there was no result, so she stopped busy. Thinking about it now, she really regrets it. If she would have told Chen Ping's mother Come on, maybe it will be my daughter and Chen Ping who are holding a wedding banquet in the Great Hall of the People today.
Zhao Wanzhen, who was just thinking about it, had completely forgotten that when Chen Ping was still studying, Chen Ping's family was very poor. How she looked down on her sister's family, was unwilling to associate with her sister's family, and was afraid that her sister's family would come to borrow money from her. It's about money.
Compared with Zhao Wanzhen, Chen Ping's other relatives were equally uneasy. They did not expect to get married to Chen Ping, but they just lamented how capable Chen Ping was.
There were also some officials from Luzhuang City and Shagang City who came to attend the wedding banquet. This was what Chen Ping did deliberately. Needless to say, from Shagang City, his parents lived in Shagang City. This time, they were asked to come to the People's Assembly. Attending the wedding banquet can make them pay more attention to their parents and avoid any problems. After all, no matter how old they are, the county magistrate will always be inferior to the one in charge.
As for letting officials from Luzhuang City attend, Chen Ping had other considerations.
Chen Ping knew very well that in the future, the central government would conduct pilot administrative reforms in Luzhuang. Administrative reform has always been a deep-water area of ??reform and would affect not just the slightest interest, even with the current control of Chen Ping and Xiao Shufei in Luzhuang. , still cannot fully guarantee it, so we can only use places like the Great Hall of the People to put a little more weight on them.
Of course, compared with these considerations, for Chen Ping, his deepest consideration is to let more people share his happiness. If it were not for his limited ability, he would even want to tell the whole country on the News Network that he and Ye Lingzhi marriage.
Chen Ping is very chauvinistic. He feels that since Ye Lingzhi married him, he should give her the greatest happiness and joy as much as possible.
But besides these people who came to Beijing, there were two other people who were also obsessed with Chen Ping¡¯s wedding banquet in the Great Hall of the People.
