Vol 2 Chapter 337: , requirements on the venue for the engagement banquet
Chapter 337
The next day, I told Chen Li about the venue for the engagement banquet that Su Xi liked, and also expressed my own opinions at the same time, but the reply I got was: "Damn, the venue you like is the same as mine. Damn it, this I have to choose again. Even if I am a best friend, I don’t want to hold my engagement party in the same place as an acquaintance.”
I almost forgot, this guy is also a rich man.
I couldn't help but remind her: "It's just an engagement party, tens of millions is too much, right?"
"It's not much at all. After all, it's a once-in-a-lifetime thing. Besides, this money isn't much for my family." At this point, Chen Li sighed and educated me, "For Su Xi and you, this money is not much. It’s not a big amount anymore. It’s right to be diligent and thrifty, but you should also be considerate of Su Xi’s mood. "
"I can be considerate, otherwise I would have rejected him directly. Now I am trying to persuade him to change his mind."
"I mean to ask you to promise him...forget it, if you have to do this, I won't bother to care about you."
After Chen Li finished speaking, she really looked like she was too lazy to talk to me, and lowered her head to read the magazine.
At this time, I asked Hua Zhe on the side: "Your engagement banquet will be held in a venue with tens of millions of dollars. Do you agree to this?"
Hua Zhe stopped writing the exercises and smiled bitterly: "Of course I agreed, otherwise wouldn't Chen Li have a quarrel with me just like you?"
Hearing this, I couldn’t help but say with some surprise: “I thought you, like me, were ordinary people who didn’t like to spend so much money on unnecessary things. Did I misjudge you?”
"I can't help it... I also want to hold an engagement party for Chen Li that will satisfy her, but I don't have the ability. When the time comes, Chen Li will have to pay for renting the venue, entertaining guests, and hiring service staff, and I will also take the money. Short hands eat people with short mouths.”
This is really a penny, what a hero.
However, I still said in confusion: "But you are going to get married anyway. When the time comes, the two of you will have joint property. How can he not be happy if you save money for her?"
"Sister, the face of men and women is not the same thing... You can express your opinions like this to Su Xi, but I can't do it as a boy. She just doesn't care about spending the money. What can I do?"
Well, it seems that they also have difficulties on their side. Now Su Xi at least allows me to discuss with him, which is considered good.
However, even after discussing the options he gave me, it was still a venue worth tens of millions, which did not solve the basic problem at all.
anyway…
“When did I become your sister?”
I couldn’t help but ask Hua Zhe.
“Isn’t it always the case?”
“I’m older than you! You should call me sister, and I’ll call you little brother. That’s how it’s right!”
“You’re only a little more than a month older than me!? But don’t you think it’s too much to insist on being someone else’s sister because you’re so immature?”
“Older is older, what does it have to do with mind...and how can I be immature?”
“From beginning to end it’s...”
When I heard this and was about to have another rare quarrel with Hua Zhe, I heard Chen Li interrupt the two of us and said: "Wait a minute, I just heard a very serious question, Hua Zhe, you and Hao Siyu’s birthday is less than two months away?”
Hua Zhe nodded and confirmed the news.
“Then why didn’t you tell me? Isn’t this a long time ago?”
Chen Li looked panicked.
“But I’ve never celebrated a birthday, so I’m not sure why I’m telling you this kind of thing…”
"Then you have to tell me! I'm your girlfriend. Even if you haven't celebrated your birthday before, I still have to celebrate it for you. By the way, what's going on with you and Hao Siyu? How can two people be so coincidental? You never celebrate your birthday? Is this a local custom there?”
Speaking of which, I haven’t celebrated my birthday very often. The only time this year was when Su Xi and the others secretly prepared it for me, which made me feel very moved.
“Well, I was wrong, I will definitely come with you next time.”
“…I remember that Hao Siyu never celebrated her birthday because her family didn’t have time to celebrate her. What about you? I remember that your family is very good to you.”
Hua Zhe quickly replied: "Because I think it's a waste of time and it affects my study and fitness."
“…Next year, don’t bother me, do you understand?”
Hua Zhe immediately nodded like a chicken pecking at broken rice.
To be honest, I mentioned it to Hua Zhe before. His concept of birthdays is really weird. If you have the chance, it’s better to enjoy this supposedly happy day as much as possible. But he didn’t listen to me even once. Unexpectedly, he didn’t listen to me even once. Now she is treated so docilely by Chen Li.
I then thought that God has really designed each of our marriages. Although Hua Zhe has been secretly in love with me for more than ten years, if we become lovers for the rest of our lives, there is absolutely no way that Hua Zhe can be happier than he is now.
Me too, I think Su Xi is more suitable for me.
“By the way, Hao Siyu, do you know my birthday?”
Chen Li was obviously testing me.
But this is not a problem for me: "July 27 is next month, I remember it very clearly."
“Answer in seconds, you still have a conscience,” Chen Li rolled her eyes at me, but nodded her head with satisfaction, and then asked me, “Then do you know Su Xi’s birthday?”
“His birthday is in October…”
"Wrong! Haha, I didn't expect that you didn't know Su Xi's birthday, and you actually wanted to get away with it. Fortunately, I have already found out his birthday. Please listen carefully..."
“No, Su Xi’s birthday is in October.” I said firmly.
Chen Li was a little angry at this time and said to me: "How did you know? I asked Hua Zhe to see it from his academic file."
"Because Su Xi doesn't like unrelated people to know her real birthday, she has left birthdays with different dates on her ID card, household register, personal file, student ID card, and student status file. If you don't believe it, you can continue to check it. See if I’m right, only he and I, and his parents know his real birthday.”
"Is this showing off your affection?" Chen Li puffed up her cheeks angrily and said, "Okay, I admit that you know this better. So when is Su Xi's birthday?"
“…Let me discuss this matter with him and see if I can tell you.”
Chen Li was so angry that she almost jumped up and stared at me and said, "Wait a minute, I'm your best friend? Su Xi and we are also friends, why didn't you even tell us your birthday?"
I quickly explained: "I also think this is strange, but this is his personal habit. I still have to keep it a secret until I persuade him."
At this moment, Su Xi suddenly appeared from behind me, and then said to everyone: "October 17th, this is my birthday." After saying that, he smiled and said to me, "What you said before was right. , I shouldn’t live too autistically, I should announce my birthday and accept other people’s blessings honestly, and if anyone wants to ask in the future, just tell them.”
What's going on here? When I tried to persuade him, I tried hard but failed. Is he in a good mood today?
“Is it really okay?”
Su Xi nodded and said, "No problem. Look, as long as you are right, I will adopt your opinion. In this case, shouldn't you choose one of these venues?"
After saying that, he put yesterday’s laptop in front of me.
Oh my god, it turned out that this was the reason for giving me a step down? But haven't you noticed that the two things are completely on the same level?
When Chen Li heard his exchange request, she couldn't help but frowned and worried about me and said, "If I had known better, I wouldn't have asked this question, which would have caused you so much trouble."
I also regretted bringing up the topic of birthdays. Seeing that it was difficult to escape now, I couldn't help but ask Chen Li: "Can you think about it, let's hold an engagement banquet together? In this way, everyone in our family can spend more time together." It’s half the money.”
“I already said that I don’t care about spending this money, I just want to do it more successfully, right? You even ask me this kind of question...”
Chen Li seemed to be very angry. At this time, Su Xi pointed to a description on the website and told me: "It's not impossible for two pairs of people to hold it together, but the price will also be doubled. These venues are not only based on the number of uses. , or rented according to the number of couples. ”
“Damn it? Are you still getting paid for the extra time you didn’t use? Are they going too far?”
After I expressed my dissatisfaction, Su Xi couldn't help but close the computer and sighed: "You are talking about money, money, money for an engagement ceremony. What do you want? Can this engagement ceremony be held? Done?"
To be honest, if it costs so much, I would rather not replace it.
But I have already agreed, and now I really can’t say anything about canceling it.
"Well, I'm actually thinking about it. Look, don't you have a good venue at home? The last event was also held in Su's house. Even if you want to find a different place this time, the Su family has so many properties. , I think many places are no worse than their venues, so why should we go far away? Most importantly, we don’t have to spend a penny to use your venues, so we both can be satisfied, right?”
“On my grounds?”
I was afraid that this idea that I thought was perfect would be vetoed by Su Xi again, and then continue to force me to choose among the venues with tens of millions of rent, so I deliberately said in a provocative tone at this time: "Don't you think you are interested in the Su family?" Are you that insecure?"
"How is that possible?" Su Xi chuckled immediately and said as if nothing could trouble him, "I just happened to think of a good place. Anyway, as long as it meets the two conditions of not having to spend rent and it is my home venue, you can You agreed to use it as the venue for the engagement banquet, right?"
"Yes, if these two conditions can be met, I will agree to it no matter where it is."
I was thinking that it was impossible for Su Xi to find fault anyway, so it was right to leave this aspect to him. Besides, under these two prerequisites, Su Xi’s dance would not be exaggerated no matter how outrageous it was, so I quickly agreed. It's up to him to choose.
Su Xi left happily soon. Looking at his retreating back, Chen Li immediately asked me: "Is Su Xi digging another hole for you?"
"You are too cautious. Under these conditions, what kind of hole can Su Xi dig? Don't think about it." I tried to dispel her doubts, but it didn't seem to have any effect.
Then she reminded me: "Su Xi has too many tricks. I don't know what he wants to do this time. You'd better be more careful and stop being so heartless."
What? I have been very careful this time. Su Xi must not be able to do anything. Why should I worry so much?
