Chapter 366 - 190: God of Investment?
Chen Xing and Zheng Lihua quickly invited Zhang Xiang and the others to take their seats, since these were all influential figures they usually couldn’t even get a glimpse of.
Especially Zhang Xiang, if he got upset, they might end up in a legal battle.
Just 10 tables, and they were already filled!
Chen Xing could now confirm that these people were brought in by Yang Chen to support him; there was no other explanation.
He just couldn’t figure out how Yang Chen managed to bring all these big shots together, since Yang Chen was just an online car-hailing driver.
Chen Xing looked at Yang Chen with admiration, thinking, "So Brother Chen is really deep! He is acquainted with so many impressive figures. It seems like driving rideshare is just his way of passing time. No wonder he dares to go against the platform; he might be even more formidable than the platform itself."
Isn’t that so?
If it wasn’t for the system’s rules against compromising with difficult passengers, requiring bad reviews and complaints to get rewards, Yang Chen would have bought Bibi’s platform just to flood it with bad reviews.
The Bibi platform is merely a tool for Yang Chen to accumulate wealth; otherwise, he wouldn’t even care for it.
At this time, the wedding company staff came over, saying it was already eleven-thirty and if they didn’t start the ceremony soon, it would delay the meal.
Normally, to bring good fortune, meals should be served before noon.
Chen Xing smiled and said to Li Dengfeng, "Young Master Li, I hope you can give me and Lihua some face and not make a scene at our wedding. Okay?"
Seeing so many big shots coming to celebrate Chen Xing, Li Dengfeng didn’t dare to act rashly either.
He had already texted his dad, and would wait until his dad arrived to decide.
In any case, he couldn’t lose face today, and at least should get Yang Chen to apologize to his girlfriend.
Li Dengfeng smiled faintly without saying a word.
Wang Shuai, the underling, looked very aggrieved; the groom’s social connections were so formidable that the slaps he took would be for nothing.
The groom and the bride followed the wedding host onto the stage.
Zheng Lihua reminded the host to proceed normally and not use the prepared script.
The original script emphasized Zheng Lihua’s authority and belittled Chen Xing’s status in the family.
Simply put, it portrayed Chen Xing as a kept man who should always obey Zheng Lihua.
Abandoning this script and proceeding normally meant that the host would use the usual wedding phrases, emphasizing gender equality so both sides would be happy.
Chen Xing thought to himself, "Thank goodness Brother Chen helped gather so many big shots to support me; otherwise, Lihua wouldn’t have abandoned the script rehearsed multiple times."
The host paused for a moment but soon understood Zheng Lihua’s intention, quickly nodding with a smile.
The ceremony began, and the host started asking some festive questions.
Unknowingly, the topic of having children came up, as is typical at weddings.
"Let the bride tell the in-laws to expect a grandchild next year."
The audience held back their laughter.
Originally, this question was normal, but when applied to a 55-year-old bride, it seemed a bit out of place.
However, Zheng Lihua happily cooperated, saying, "Dad, Mom, Ah Xing and I will strive to give you a grandchild next year!"
The audience burst into laughter and applause.
Everyone had been holding back, and took this chance to laugh, lest they suffer internal injuries from holding it in.
No matter what, Chen Xing was very happy now and full of confidence, and the bride’s family and friends didn’t dare to mock him anymore.
As it approached noon, the host quickly ended the ceremony and started the meal.
Even though the bride’s family had 100 tables, absolutely outnumbering the groom’s side.
But the groom’s guests were all big shots, each far superior to any of the bride’s friends and family.
Earlier, the bride’s relatives had been mocking the groom’s lack of guests, saying just a few rideshare drivers filled the seats; now they were much more sober, not daring to say mean things or mock intentionally.
Seeing the harmonious scene on both sides, Chen Xing felt very gratified and was extremely grateful to Yang Chen because he knew all this was thanks to Yang Chen, not his own ability.
When it was time for the bride and groom to toast, both the bride’s and groom’s guests were very courteous, and no one showed disdain for Chen Xing.
Chen Xing transformed from a kept man into a dignified man.
Even though he still lived off his partner, because of Yang Chen’s help, he could now do so confidently.
And it was all thanks to Brother Chen; he definitely needed to repay Brother Chen for today’s favor.
Zhang Hu and his friends didn’t come for nothing; the bride’s friends and family assumed they were big shots too, just hiding their identities as rideshare drivers.
So, many company bosses and fashionable women came to toast with them.
To put it bluntly, if it weren’t for Yang Chen inviting these big shots, they might never have had the opportunity to clink glasses with such people in their entire lives.
In short, the groom’s side was the center of attention today.
A little while later, Li Dengfeng’s father, Li Xiang, arrived.
Zheng Lihua and Chen Xing hurried over to greet him.
"Chairman Li, thank you for coming to our wedding. Didn’t you say you wouldn’t come? If I had known you were coming, I definitely would’ve waited for you to start the meal," Zheng Lihua explained nervously.
Li Xiang chuckled and replied, "I just got a text from my son saying someone bullied him, so I made time to come over and see what’s going on. How could someone bully my son at Chairman Zheng’s wedding?"
