The O'Marbles family has the tradition of taking family photos before the end of each year, and this year is the same.
Because he came to Draklin to participate in Marble League this year, O'rangers hoped to make this group photo even better by winning a new championship trophy. But with only the last game left in the season, they have missed the championship and even the podium in advance. This is a blow, no doubt, but they naturally have ways to overcome the problem.
In the smoke-filled office, there was no light. Mandarin sat on a leather chair and looked around the members of the room indifferently across the blackwood desk.
"Is the deal done?" he said in a low voice.
"Obviously, the competition accepted the plan we provided. But there was no competitor..." Kinnowin took out his notebook and was disappointed. "The Honeycomb Royal Family has just joined the competition; there are rumors that the Royal Casino from Herbotamia - they want to sponsor Black Jacks to hold a casino themed league; and Savage Speeders, which have always been one of the most popular favorites."
"If the offer is increased, I will make a condition that they cannot refuse." Mandarin pressed the humidifier, "We must get the right to host next year. It has been so many years, and it is time for them to agree to our application."
"I agree very much, sir." Ms. O, the secretary of Mandarin, agreed. "I will provide you with a better plan tomorrow to win this opportunity for the team."
"No, no, no." Mandarin politely refused Miss O's invitation. "You are getting married today, my dear. You will board the flight back to Orlango in the morning. I have asked the company to arrange it, and they will provide you with the best honeymoon service."
"But I can finish it when I get on the plane, otherwise I will be idle." Miss O took a look at the time, "Sir, I need to go to the dressing room to prepare for it now. I have arranged for you about your trip to the north tomorrow to take pictures of the whole family this year at Stonehenge. Do you think there is anything else I can do for you?"
"No, my dear, go quickly." Mandarin smiled, and Miss O left the room.
"She is really a strong worker and can't stop even on the wedding day." Kinnowin exclaimed after she left.
"She has worked in our family for more than ten years, and I have been involved in many achievements. I have long regarded her as a daughter. Kinnowin, make sure the wedding goes smoothly. After the dinner, we will take a bus to Stonehenge to prepare for a family photo in the morning." Mandarin said, turning his back.
"Why can I only be a flower girl, but you are the bridesmaid?" Tangerina was extremely dissatisfied. "Before, we were a flower girl together, but now, you are the only one to upgrade."
"Well, it may be because Kinnowin is the best man." Orangin was ready in the dressing room. "Do you want to compete with him?"
"I don't care. I'll be embarrassed to death if I'm a flower boy at my age," Tangerin said. "Tell them about it and change me to the best man. Otherwise, I'd rather sit in the audience."
"All right, I'll try it. Now you can check Clementin's situation in the back kitchen. His cooking is very different from the usual. It's still a wedding banquet for others." Orangin said, splitting up with Tangerin soldiers.
"No, listen to me. Such sausages need to be stewed for three hours before they are rotten." The chef in the back kitchen, Clementin and the chef in the hotel argued with each other, "This is the authentic Orlango practice. You need to trust me."
"Do you have to change my menu?" The chef was a little tearless. "This is a wedding, and no one would want to eat oil here."
"Of course, you Draklin 'gentlemen' will not understand our Orlango cowboy girl's wedding. Believe me, it is right to do so." Clementin continued. Tangerin smelled the fragrance as soon as he walked into the kitchen.
"Hey, Cle, Orangin asked me to come and confirm how the dinner is going." Tangerin asked.
"No problem, no problem. Let O get ready, it will be the best wedding banquet." Clementin said generously, and focused on returning to the kitchen. Tangerin saw the chef's unspeakable secret and called him to his side.
"I'm sorry, but he has such a controlling desire to cook. But you know, Mr. Mandarin doesn't want this wedding to be unpleasant. Let him go for something, OK?"
"Of course, of course." The chef smiled and went back to the chopping board.
The guests arrived one by one, and the wedding was held as usual. Finally, Tangerin joined the best man camp. The flower boy walked first, then the best man and bridesmaid. The bridegroom walked on the red carpet accompanied by his parents, followed by Miss O, the bride, and her "father" Mandarin.
"Go, my dear." He sent Miss O under the white arch, and Mandarin kissed his "daughter".
"Thank you, Father," said Miss O reluctantly, and Mandarin took his seat.
"On such a warm day, thank all the guests for coming." The little coach Rango acted as the witness of the marriage. "Because of the pure and beautiful love, we are here to watch the two newlyweds get married."
……
"Would you like to?"
"I do."
"I do."
The scene was thunderous with applause.
At dinner time, the chef Clementin personally served the newlyweds the sausage main course. "Thank you, Cle! This is the authentic Orlango flavor, which makes me homesick." Miss O said with emotion, and Clementin thanked her.
"It's time to make a speech." Kinnowin whispered to remind Mandarin. After getting a nod, Kinnowin got up and knocked the champagne glass with the back of his knife.
"Thank you for your speech tonight. Our Mr. Mandarin still sends a message. Please welcome." Under the sign of Mandarin, applause gradually subsided.
"I think today's speech should be short and forceful. O, just like my daughter, she has helped me much more than I have helped her. Some people said that the success of the O'Marbles family is due to money.
So, people! Loyalty to a family, an ideal, is irreplaceable, is above all values. When we were dozens of points behind Savage Speeders and Crazy Cat's Eyes, we didn't flinch or fear at all. It is because there are members like O who do their best for the success of the whole family.
We may not win the league this year, but I will still be proud of this year. Because we are back to the peak, my daughter (looking at Miss O) has also been married. This is another memorable year! Cheers! "
Although the speech was sonorous and forceful, it was not without bad news for Mandarin tonight. The road leading to the north encounters a blizzard, which makes it difficult to pass through the mountain landslide. This also makes their family photo plan this year a little regrettable.
"I will arrange a train for you in the morning and it will arrive in the afternoon." Miss O was stopped by Mandarin just when she wanted to make arrangements. "No, dear, we are not going anywhere. Now you just need to do me a little favor and ask your photographer to come and take more photos for us."
In this way, the photo of The O'Marbles family this year was taken under the wedding arch in the hotel lobby. All O'rangers stood together, with Mandarin naturally in the middle and Rango beside him. Another interesting part of the whole picture is that Tangerin grabbed the bouquet thrown by the bride. Maybe we can see another wedding next year?
Ha, who knows?
