Even if it was just a brief appearance, it was enough to stir up heated discussions among the relatives and friends present.
Zhao Peng's mother was smiling from ear to ear and made a point to come over to Jiajia's relatives.
In a tone both proud and humble, she said:
"Oh dear, I'm very sorry for neglecting everyone. Just now, Director Feng from the municipal government office was passing by. Upon hearing that we were hosting a celebration, he specifically came in to congratulate us. Director Feng is one of the leaders in charge of several major projects in our city, and many of Xiaopeng's father's company's business require Director Feng's approval! We must go and attend to him well!"
Jiajia pulled her future mother-in-law's arm and explained on the side: "Director Feng is the director of our city's High-Tech Zone Administrative Committee."
Though her words were understated, everyone could sense the weight behind them.
After speaking, they turned back to chat elsewhere.
