Tan Mingzhao said he was going to do something big, which confused Su Tianyu, who stared at him with wide eyes.

At this moment, Tan Mingzhao's face was flushed, perhaps from drinking too much. The normally composed young master of the garrison seemed somewhat nervous.

He took two more deep breaths, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and downed the remaining two liang of baijiu in one gulp!

Spicy! Powerful! Intoxicating!

Tan Mingzhao mustered his courage, suddenly stood up, and in the astonished gazes of everyone, strode to Wawa and knelt down with a thud.

Wawa looked at him with a bewildered expression.

Tan Mingzhao said excitedly, "Wawa, I love you, marry me!"

With that, he opened the box with a snap, revealing a beautiful diamond ring inside.

At the same time, the guard next to him suddenly pulled open the screen at the back of the room. Red roses were spread all over the floor, forming a huge heart shape.

The young master was putting on a show! Although it was a bit cliché, it still had a strong impact on everyone.

Everyone else in the room was very surprised. No one expected Tan Mingzhao to suddenly propose in this kind of setting!

Wawa was first stunned, then moved, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Although this man was a bit clumsy in this regard, it was obvious that he had put a lot of thought into it.

But with so many people watching, Wawa was still a little shy, twisting and turning, gently biting her lip, and hesitating slightly.

The people around her began to cheer, and Su Tianyu also said with a smile, "It's so touching. He drank almost a jin of alcohol for this confession. If I didn't have a girlfriend, I would have agreed."

An Qiqi glared at him.

Tan Mingzhao had already mustered his courage, and seeing that Wawa was still silent, he asked loudly again, "My marriage with you is not because of politics, nor is it because of impulse! I never knew what emotion was before, I just wanted to be a qualified soldier who would satisfy my father. It wasn't until I met you that I understood what true love is, and what is worth protecting! My life has more important meaning! I am willing to be with you forever, to love you! Wawa, will you marry me?"

Slightly cheesy, but from the bottom of his heart!

Hearing these words, tears of emotion streamed down Wawa's face. She was no longer the silly little girl she used to be. As she got to know Tan Mingzhao, she found that this man was a bit old-fashioned, and he did things in a methodical and orderly manner.

Perhaps he was too experienced, lacking the vigor and passion of young people. However, Tan Mingzhao was especially good to her, accommodating her in everything, and never getting angry with her because of her little temper tantrums.

Their relationship was very stable, without ups and downs, but also very reassuring.

It was a natural progression, and Wawa finally nodded and said softly, "I do."

Tan Mingzhao's eyes lit up, and his mood soared like a rocket, taking off into the sky! He jumped up happily and hugged Wawa tightly in his arms!

Seeing this, the crowd cheered even louder.

Su Tianbei led the applause while shouting at the top of his lungs, "Hey, we watched Wawa grow up! Come on, kiss her!!"

Wawa blushed and took the initiative to kiss Tan Mingzhao.

Tan Mingzhao was a little excited and pecked at her lips.

...

An hour later, the banquet ended in laughter and cheers.

Two things were settled at the banquet.

One was Su Tianbei's entry into the garrison. Don't think it was just a regimental commander, and he might not have much real power. But this was a key node with historical significance for the garrison's relationship with the administrative faction to move further!

The second thing was Tan Mingzhao's lifelong affair. With the rapid warming of relations between the garrison and the administrative faction, his statement further strengthened the relationship between the two sides and further dispelled the contradictions caused by the First Army.

...

At eight o'clock in the evening, everyone at the banquet said goodbye and left.

Tan Mingzhao led Wawa away, not knowing where they were going to discuss their future.

Su Tianbei took his four officers to deepen their relationship with each other.

Zhou Tonghui went to the hospital to visit Lao Kong with some gifts.

Only Su Tianyu and An Qiqi were left. The two of them were walking on a secluded tree-lined path, strolling and chatting.

Three vehicles from the All-Systems Bureau followed behind them, protecting their safety.

The sides of the road were planted with trees, but due to the weather, large swaths of leaves had turned yellow and were scattered on the ground around them.

The dim streetlights on both sides made the fallen leaves appear even more desolate.

But for couples in love, this kind of scenery did not mean bleakness, but rather a bit of romance.

An Qiqi looked at the fallen leaves on the ground and said casually, "Did you see that diamond ring just now? It's so sparkly."

The little girl was hinting at him, and Su Tianyu knew it well. He grinned and said, "Don't worry, girl. When we come back from the Hua District, we'll go straight to South Africa and get you the biggest one, so you can wear it on your head!"

An Qiqi lowered her head, rarely refuting or bickering, and only said softly, "I'm serious, don't change your mind."

Only at this time would she show a bit of a daughter's attitude.

Su Tianyu looked at her and only felt that she was extremely beautiful at this moment, and hormones were secreted rapidly.

When the emotion was deep, he couldn't help but reach out and gently put his arm around her waist, and said in a low voice, "Why don't we tonight..."

"Ring ring ring!"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a burst of urgent phone ringing. Su Tianyu was very helpless, and An Qiqi smiled at him understandingly.

Su Tianyu took out his phone and saw that it was Secretary-General Wang Changli calling. After thinking about it, he answered the phone, "Hello?"

Wang Changli said with a smile, "Little Yu, are you busy?"

Su Tianyu glanced at An Qiqi and said politely, "I'm not busy, I just finished eating. What's the matter?"

Wang Changli opened his mouth to invite, "Then come out and sit down. Me, Lao Jin, Wang Daolin, Li Yuan, and some old friends from the city are here, and we want to treat you to a meal."

Su Tianyu knew that he couldn't refuse, frowned and said, "Okay, I'll be there now."

"Okay, the address is..."

The two of them finished talking and hung up the phone.

Su Tianyu looked at An Qiqi and sighed, "It seems that tonight, I can only accompany a bunch of old men."

An Qiqi smiled and changed the subject and asked, "You're sure you're taking me to the Hua District, right?"

Su Tianyu nodded and said, "Yes, when we come back from the Hua District, we'll go to South Africa to mine."

An Qiqi said very readily, "Okay, then I'll prepare. You go and get busy, they're waiting, don't be late."

Su Tianyu waved his hand, let the car behind him drive over, and sent someone to take An Qiqi home. He then took the car to another private restaurant nearby to attend the appointment with Wang Changli and the others.

...

Fifteen minutes later, the car arrived at the restaurant. Su Tianyu stepped upstairs, came to the front of the private room, and pushed the door open and entered.

There was a large group of people sitting inside, including Wang Changli, Wang Daolin, Li Yuan, Jin Maohui, and others, all of whom were the absolute backbone of the administrative faction.

The crowd met, exchanged greetings for a while, and then took their seats.

Su Tianyu asked with a smile, "What's the situation today? Why are so many people here?"

Wang Changli's face was also full of smiles, "Hehe, didn't we just finish all the work? Let's sit down and have a meal together, just as a celebration banquet. Little Yu, you are the biggest hero, you have to drink a few more glasses today!"

Su Tianyu laughed and said, "Uncle Wang, you're too polite. Come on, let's drink!"

The second round of drinking began. Fortunately, Su Tianyu had also been trained in the drinking game. He had also taken some hangover medicine on the way, and he was still quite sober.

The crowd toasted and exchanged drinks, drinking a lot and chatting with great interest.

Wang Changli glanced at Su Tianyu, whose face was a little flushed, and suddenly raised his glass, "Little Yu, I'm going to be a bit cheeky and ask you for a favor."
