Chapter 318 No gifts accepted!

"Dongming! Guests are coming, come out and greet them!" As soon as Jia Dongming finished speaking, Jia Zhang's voice came from outside the house.

When Jia Dongming heard Jia Zhang's shout and learned that guests were coming, he immediately said to Lin's mother and others, "Mom! Here are some cakes. Eat some first to fill your stomach. I'll go outside to greet the guests."

It is said that the more a mother-in-law sees her son-in-law, the more satisfied she becomes. Jia Dongming is already a department-level cadre at a young age, and his family has such a large yard. This makes Lin's mother more and more satisfied with Jia Dongming as a son-in-law. She said to Jia Dongming, "Dongming! From today on, we are a family. You don't have to take care of us. Go and receive your guests!"

When Jia Dongming heard what Lin's mother said, he smiled and nodded, then walked out of the house.

After watching Jia Dongming leave, Lin Qiuyu couldn't wait to say to Lin Qiuyue, "Sister! My brother-in-law's family is so well-off. Marrying him is like falling into a honeypot."

Jia Dongming walked out of the house and soon arrived at the gate of the courtyard. He saw the security department standing outside the gate chatting. He quickly took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed one to each of them, and greeted them with a smile: "Guoping! Aijun! You are here! Come in!"

When Zhang Guoping saw Jia Dongming, he immediately took out a thick envelope from his pocket and congratulated Jia Dongming with a smile: "Director! Congratulations on your wedding. This is a small gift from all the comrades in the department. I hope you don't think it's too little."

When Jia Dongming heard what Zhang Guoping said and saw the red envelope he was handing over, he quickly reached out to refuse, saying, "Guoping! Didn't I tell you that I don't accept gifts for my wedding? So take this money back and return it to the comrades in the department."

When Zhang Guoping heard what Jia Dongming said, he immediately said to him, "Director! These are just some small tokens of our comrades' kindness. Please don't be polite to us."

When Jia Dongming heard what Zhang Guoping said, he answered firmly, "This is not a question of being polite or not. I will not accept any gifts from anyone for my wedding this time, so I would like to trouble you to return this money to the comrades. When I am done with this, I will go get some meat and treat the comrades in the department to a meal in the cafeteria."

Seeing that Jia Dongming had said so much, Zhang Guoping could only take back the envelope helplessly and said to Jia Dongming respectfully, "Director! Since you said so, I will not insist any more. I will return the money to everyone when I get to the department tomorrow."

When Jia Dongming heard what Zhang Guoping said, he immediately called out to Zhang Guoping and the others, "Alright! Stop standing here, go sit in the yard!"

Jia Dongming led Zhang Guoping and others into the courtyard and arranged for them to sit down at an empty table. He then smiled and said hello to them, "Guoping! Aijun! You guys sit here for a while. I'll go outside to greet the guests."

Zhang Guoping heard what Jia Dongming said, and said to him with a smile: "Director! If you have something to do, go and do it first, don't worry about us."

"Director! Just go about your business and don't bother with us." After hearing what Jia Dongming said, Li Aijun immediately smiled and said to Jia Dongming.

After Jia Dongming arranged everything for Zhang Guoping and others, he turned and walked out of the villa.

"Dongming! Will Director Li come to the dinner today?" Jia Dongming had just walked to the central courtyard when Liu Haizhong came towards him and asked him with a smile.

When Jia Dongming heard Liu Haizhong's question, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Liu Haizhong. Then he answered, "Second Uncle! Director Li told me that he will definitely come today."

When Liu Haizhong learned that Li Huaide would come to drink, he immediately said to Jia Dongming: "Dongming! Let's go! I'll go with you to the gate and wait for Director Li to arrive."

Not long after Jia Dongming and Liu Haizhong walked out of the compound, a jeep drove towards the courtyard. When the jeep stopped in front of Jia Dongming, Jia Dongming saw Li Xidong sitting in the passenger seat.

When Jia Dongming saw Li Xidong, he showed a surprised expression on his face. He quickly reached out to open the passenger door and greeted Li Xidong with a surprised look on his face: "Director Li! Why are you here?"

When Li Xidong heard Jia Dongming's question and saw Jia Dongming's surprised expression, he smiled and said to Jia Dongming, "Xiao Jia! I came here this time not only to congratulate you, but also to carry out a mission." When Jia Dongming heard Li Xidong's words, he immediately called out to Li Xidong, "Director Li! What is the mission? Why did you come here in person?"

When Li Xidong heard what Jia Dongming said, he took out an envelope from his pocket and said to Jia Dongming with a smile: "Dongming! This envelope contains the gift money from the comrades in the branch office. They asked me to represent them and wish you a happy wedding!"

When Jia Dongming heard what Li Xidong said and saw the envelope in Li Xidong's hand, he immediately said to Li Xidong, "Director Li! You should take back the gift money. I don't plan to accept any gift money for my wedding. Also, please help me thank the comrades in the bureau. I appreciate everyone's kindness."

Li Xidong heard Jia Dongming's answer and saw the resolute expression on his face. He knew that Jia Dongming was not lying. Thinking of the reason why he came here today, Li Xidong turned around and took out a wooden box from the car. He smiled and said to Jia Dongming, "Xiao Jia! Mr. Chen from the General Administration couldn't come to your wedding because of something. This is the gift he asked me to give to you."

Jia Dongming heard what Li Xidong said and saw the wooden box that Li Xidong handed over. Although he didn't know what was in the wooden box, he didn't refuse the gift from Mr. Chen. Instead, he took the wooden box very happily and couldn't help but sighed, "Director Li! I didn't want to disturb Mr. Chen, so I didn't tell him about my marriage. I didn't expect that Mr. Chen actually knew about my marriage."

When Li Xidong learned about the relationship between Jia Dongming and Mr. Chen, he was very shocked. When he saw Jia Dongming accept the gift, he smiled and said to Jia Dongming: "Xiao Jia! I have completed my mission today, and I will go back to the bureau first. Goodbye!"

When Jia Dongming saw Li Xidong was about to leave, he quickly invited Li Xidong, "Director Li! Now that you are here, how can you leave right away? Please come in and have a few drinks after the banquet starts."

Li Xidong heard Jia Dongming's invitation and felt the other party's enthusiasm. He politely declined: "Xiao Jia! There are still a lot of things to do in the bureau today. I won't go in. Goodbye!"

When Liu Haizhong saw Li Xidong leaving in a jeep, he asked Jia Dongming with envy, "Dongming! Which bureau does this Director Li belong to?"

When Jia Dongming heard Liu Haizhong's question, he smiled and introduced him, "Second Uncle! The Director Li just now is the director of our Dongcheng Public Security Bureau."

After Liu Haizhong learned of Li Xidong's identity, he thought of what Li Xidong had just said to Jia Dongming. His eyes immediately fixed on the wooden box in Jia Dongming's hand. He asked Jia Dongming with a look of horror: "Dongming! The CEO Chen that Director Li just mentioned, could he be the CEO of the Public Security Bureau?"

When Jia Dongming heard Liu Haizhong's question, he did not intend to answer it. As a result, when he was about to find an excuse to get around it, he saw Li Huaide riding a bicycle towards the courtyard.

When Jia Dongming saw this, he immediately shouted to Liu Haizhong, "Second Uncle! Director Li is here!"

Liu Haizhong, who was about to ask questions, heard the news that Li Huaide was coming and instinctively looked towards the direction of the alley. When he saw Li Huaide riding a bicycle, he immediately took two steps at a time and walked forward to greet Li Huaide enthusiastically: "Director Li! You are here!"

When Li Huaide saw Jia Dongming and Liu Haizhong, he immediately took out an envelope from his pocket and congratulated Jia Dongming with a smile: "Director Jia! Congratulations on your happy wedding and happiness. This is a small gift from me."

When Jia Dongming heard Li Huaide's congratulations, he immediately smiled and said to Li Huaide: "Director Li! I accept your congratulations, but I can't accept this gift money, because I don't plan to accept any gifts from anyone today. If you don't believe me, you can ask Comrade Liu Haizhong."

Liu Haizhong, who was standing by, heard Jia Dongming's words and immediately introduced him to Li Huaide: "Director Li! What Dongming said is correct. Just now, Director Li of the Dongcheng Public Security Bureau gave Dongming a gift, but Dongming confiscated it."

After hearing what Liu Haizhong said and learning that Li Xidong personally gave Jia Dongming a gift, Li Huaide smiled and said to Jia Dongming, "Director Jia! Since you said so, I won't argue with you."

When Jia Dongming heard what Li Huaide said, he smiled and called out to Li Huaide, "Director Li! Please come in!"
