Chen Hai got out of the Audi A8 and glanced around the scene, noticing the admiring looks the people around him were giving him, which made Chen Hai very pleased with their reaction.
In Chen Hai’s view, if you’re doing well, you should let everyone see it, you should tell others he’s impressive, you should make people look up to and admire him.
Chen Hai is soone who likes to stand out, and because he had money in his pocket, he returned to the village to build the tallest and grandest house there, which greatly enhanced the prestige of the Chen Family, making his father Chen Datou proud and walking with his back straightened.
Because he liked being high-profile, he spared no expense in inviting the whole village for a banquet. In his view, this was also sothing very prestigious, a way to show off his wealth.
Having money equals having prestige!
Next, he wanted everyone in the village to know he married a good wife, which is also an incredibly prestigious thing!
After getting out of the car, Chen Hai imdiately went to the back door and helped the bride, who was wearing her wedding dress, out of the car.
The bride was in her twenties, her face decorated with thick and delicate makeup, tall and slender and even a head taller than Chen Hai. As for her looks, while not exceptionally beautiful, she’s a 6-point beauty.
Of course, in this small mountain village, being able to marry a wife like her is already very impressive. Though only a 6-pointer, in the eyes of the villagers, she’s a perfect 10.
So think having a wife who is a head taller seems to lack masculinity, but to the villagers, marrying a wife taller than oneself is a proud accomplishnt, indicating ability.
Just imagine, if you weren’t capable, would a tall beauty choose you?
Marrying a tall wife, even taller than oneself, is certainly a thing worthy of boasting.
Chen Datou’s expression said it all, so proud, so full of pride, with his head held high, chest puffed out, back straightened, he was extrely proud of his son.
After welcoming the bride through the door, Chen Hai brought her out to greet the guests, who had already started arriving one after another.
Then, the village chief of West River Village arrived.
"Village chief, your presence is an honor, please co in and have a seat," warmly invited Chen Datou.
"Village chief, welco, welco," Chen Hai eagerly offered a cigarette, and his gesture made it clear that Chen Hai was very adept at social interactions, a skill he had mastered well.
The village chief took the cigarette, smiling: "Xiaohai, really impressive, you’re the best among the young generation in this village!"
Chen Hai replied with a smile: "You’re too kind, chief. My small achievents are barely worth ntioning."
Though his words were modest, Chen Hai’s tone was very proud. He was quite satisfied with his current state.
"Your wife is truly beautiful, what kind of family does she co from?" asked the village chief.
Chen Hai replied: "Her parents are in business in the city, dealing in tiles, the company assets are roughly around ten million."
The village chief let out a sound of awe and said, "That’s impressive!"
The crowd expressed their astonishnt.
"Ten million, that’s incredible!"
"My goodness, the bride’s family is so wealthy!"
"Can’t even imagine, I’d be overjoyed with one million, ten million is astonishing!"
Chen Hai was very pleased with everyone’s reaction.
Being able to marry this wife made Chen Hai very proud himself, and it was a good opportunity to show off to everyone.
The village chief asked, "Xiaohai, where did you find such a wonderful wife?"
Chen Hai replied with a grin: "Her company has business dealings with the company I work for. I went along with the boss for negotiations and t her, then pursued her successfully."
The crowd burst out in laughter.
"Xiaohai, this kid, really promising!"
"Without so capability, you can’t win over the daughter of a multimillionaire!"
"I always said, I had high hopes for Xiaohai since childhood, bright kid!"
The crowd showered Chen Hai with praise again.
At this mont, a black Bentley arrives.
Chen Hai saw it and imdiately said, "Chief, please take your seat, my boss has arrived, I’ll go over to welco him."
What, Chen Hai’s boss has co!
The crowd looked over, curious.
They saw Chen Hai, along with his wife and his father Chen Datou, walking over eagerly to welco the boss.
A well-rounded middle-aged man stepped out of the car, this was Chen Hai’s boss.
If it wasn’t for the boss’s help, Chen Hai wouldn’t be where he is today, so they all treated the boss like a deity.
"Xiaohai’s really impressive, getting married and the boss cos to offer congratulations, that’s prestige!"
"Isn’t it just, who in the village is as capable as Xiaohai, probably can’t even invite the boss, can’t imagine them attending a wedding!"
"This shows Xiaohai knows how to handle things, has a good relationship with the boss!"
The crowd chid in with praise.
Indeed, whether it be building the tallest building in the village, buying the most expensive car, marrying a wife whose family is worth ten million, or having the boss attend his wedding, all of these showcased Chen Hai’s prowess, brimming with prestige.
"Hello everyone, I’m Chen Hai’s boss. Chen Hai, this kid, is really promising, helped a lot in the Company. I admire him, and specially ca here to attend his wedding to wish him a happy marriage!" The boss laughed.
Applause thundered.
Chen Hai was filled with pride, personally leading the boss to his seat, pouring tea, serving water, bustling around attending.
At this wedding, besides the bride and groom, there was also a group of very noticeable people — the groomsn and bridesmaids. The groomsn, each in suits, clearly were noteworthy people.
"Xiaohai, your groomsn are excellent, who are they, introduce them to us!"
A villager jeered provocatively.
Chen Hai smiled: "Indeed, my groomsn are capable folks, they are my friends and colleagues. Most of them are city dwellers, from good backgrounds!"
Even the groomsn are a point of pride.
"Xiaohai, didn’t you used to play really well with Lin Fan as a child, why didn’t you invite Lin Fan to be a groomsman?" The village chief laughed.
Finally, soone brought up Lin Fan.
It was the village chief.
The village chief and Lin Fan’s family had so disputes about it. Lin Fan offended the village chief’s son, and the village chief planned to build a public toilet at Lin Fan’s door to retaliate, but the arrival of the county chief thwarted him.
The village chief still harbors resentnt over it.
Today, seeing Chen Hai doing so well, the village chief thought of Lin Fan, taking the chance to put him down.
The villagers laughed after hearing the village chief’s words.
"Of course, he wouldn’t invite Lin Fan to be a groomsman!"
"Lin Fan isn’t qualified to be Xiaohai’s groomsman, he delivers takeout, isn’t it embarrassing!"
"Exactly, if Lin Fan were in the groomsn group, wouldn’t it be awkward? All Xiaohai’s friends and colleagues are capable!"
"Absolutely, lucky Lin Fan isn’t here!"
"It’s true they played well together as kids, I know, but Lin Fan truly should not be a groomsman!"
Everyone took turns mocking Lin Fan.
Chen Hai, upon hearing this, seed to just rember Lin Fan and said: "Oh right, where is Lin Fan?"
