Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1244: Chapter 1245: An Instant Hit

Qi Taiguo first found Cheng Su, who was busy instructing people on adjusting the sound system. Seeing him, she said, "I’m still busy here. Xiao Yun is in the office, go bring her down quickly, we’re about to start the banquet, I have to keep busy here!"

Qi Taiguo saw her face looked quite normal, so he nodded and headed to the office.

Only when the guests were all seated did the wedding banquet officially begin. Cheng Su had already briefed Luh Kai and the others on the entrance sequence, and they were all waiting at the entrance of the second floor.

Cheng Su cleared her throat and slowly began, "August brings golden autumn, intoxicating scenery, on this joyful day, Joy Soon Loy Restaurant happily welcomes the joyous union of Mr. Luh Kai and Ms. Xie Minyi, now inviting the newlyweds to enter..."

She herself started the applause, followed by an eruption of clapping all around. Luh Kai, holding Xie Minyi’s hand, appeared shyly on the red carpet, slowly walking forward.

"...Two families united, a contract sealed, a blessed union forever, perfectly matched. Look at this day, the crabapples are abundant, osmanthus is fragrant, so fitting for marriage, wishing the couple prosperity and many children in the future..." Cheng Su’s gentle voice slowly resonated as the newlyweds entered.

This wedding speech made the guests pause for a moment; Xie Minyi was a teacher, some guests were colleagues, while Luh Kai had quite a few eloquent friends, who were all surprised and amazed at the speech.

"Wishing Mr. Luh Kai and Ms. Xie Minyi eternal unity and a life together till old age."

The newlyweds arrived at the main stage as Cheng Su’s wedding speech concluded.

"Great, excellent!"

Someone stood up and began clapping; whether this was praising Cheng Su or the newlyweds was unknown, but the applause was even more enthusiastic than before.

Cheng Su livened up the atmosphere, asking Luh Kai how he met Xie Minyi and his feelings about it, then handed him the microphone.

"Thank you all for coming to attend Minyi and my wedding today. I am very delighted and it is unforgettable. Minyi and I were once colleagues..." Luh Kai fully cooperated, speaking for a while before handing the microphone back to Cheng Su.

Of course, the bride couldn’t be left out, but she was shy, only saying thank you a few times and expressing her feelings briefly.

Considering the era, Cheng Su didn’t go too far but told a few anecdotes that kept everyone laughing. She also took the opportunity to promote the restaurant’s mooncakes: "Today the restaurant blatantly borrows Mr. Luh’s wedding to advertise some of our products. Everyone sees the mooncakes on the tables, right? You’ve tried them! We have various styles, and with a wedding invitation, you can enjoy a fifteen percent discount!"

After some lively moments, the dishes began to be served, and Cheng Su handed the venue over to Qiulan, sitting next to Qi Taiguo herself.

"Your speech just now really stunned me, not only me but many others were amazed. Good job!" Qi Taiguo whispered praise.

Cheng Su whispered back, "I was just mimicking what I’ve learned."

This was what she had read in a book about wedding speeches from the Republic of China era, found them appealing, and memorized them without expecting to use them here.

"A lot of people are praising Aunt!" Xiao Yun said secretly.

Cheng Su gently poked her forehead, saying, "Quick, eat up. There’s lots of delicious food today, but don’t overeat, or you’ll get an upset stomach!"

Xiao Yun nodded with a smile; indeed, there was plenty of delicious food she hadn’t tasted before. It would have been nice if her mom and brother were there too.

Luh Kai and Xie Minyi came over for a toast: "Cheng Su, thank you."

Cheng Su returned the gesture with a smile, saying, "As friends, there’s no need to thank me."

Luh Kai didn’t delay, his eyes full of gratitude, moving on to the next table.

And this wedding banquet, this speech, became a topic of interest, widely used in many weddings thereafter, leading to Joy Soon Loy Restaurant’s reputation skyrocketing.
