Chapter 2742 - 2804: A Day of Great Joy

"Brother Hu, this won’t work. Many people are showing up, and we’re running out of room. We can only fit eighty tables here, and if we have to accommodate more, we’ll have to use the hall next door!" A little brother ran over to report. It’s a big day, so of course, they all had to come, and many people didn’t sit down, all dressed in suits, busy coordinating everything.

Speaking of weddings, Brother Hu is quite unique. Let’s not even mention the wedding car, which is certainly high-end; it’s related to his personality, he likes to show off. The key is the entourage; all dressed in suits and leather shoes, white shirts, they were all strong men, over a hundred of them. With so many people going, they had no choice but to follow behind the wedding car with a large convoy. Almost all the little brothers had cars, but they were quite a mixed bunch, so they eventually re-formed a convoy of Land Rovers, packed to the brim. When the bridal convoy reached the bride’s house, the scene was... a bit intimidating, almost like the Underworld facing off. With a swish, the car doors opened, the actions uniform, over a hundred strong men in suits got out orderly. Inevitably, they made a commotion, especially when they knocked on the door. If the bride’s family insiders hadn’t been informed and psychologically prepared, they might have been scared just by the sight.

But no one complained about this; the more people, the more friends the groom has. It’s even more so for the little brothers. This proves that Brother Hu has built some connections over the years, and his little brothers respect him, further proof that Brother Hu is not as brash as he appears, he is a smart person after all.

These little brothers were dressed uniformly, even the direct little brothers of Brother Hu, who are now at the boss level, were busy helping. Everyone was bustling about with energy, and one thing everyone paid attention to was that nothing unexpected was allowed to happen, especially among themselves. If any conflict arose with the guests, they were to quickly squash it, to avoid making trouble.

This kind of wedding was quite distinctive. Besides these little brothers, Wang Yaxin’s bridesmaid team was also numerous. It was initially planned to have one, then increased to four, and finally six, including her college classmates, roommates, graduate classmates, a female doctor from the office across, and middle and high school classmates. Many people came, and everyone was happy for Wang Yaxin. Seeing this kind of wedding made them a bit envious; there are plenty of rich men, but those who are willing to spend on and truly care for their wives are hard to find.

Especially at such a unique wedding, the richest man in Ning Province was invited. Who is that? Is an ordinary person able to invite such a person? In the whole of Ning Province, who have you heard of that had the richest man come to celebrate a wedding? It’s impossible. Not to mention the richest man, just having the clan chief of a big family come would be a big deal.

Because of this, people realized that this wedding was no simple affair. As long as Li Yifei attended, it could be confirmed that Brother Hu’s future in the provincial capital, whether in business or connections, would improve. Even if Li Yifei didn’t explicitly cover for him, just this influence would make those above Brother Hu wary of provoking him, and would even try to ingratiate themselves with Brother Hu to establish a good relationship. Hooking up with Li Yifei would be a great opportunity.

Brother Hu, in his suit, looked formidable, a smile on his face, since the bride had already been brought to the hotel. The earlier things had concluded, and Brother Hu didn’t feel tired but rather comfortable, as he was about to complete the most important ceremony in his life. The bride was in the makeup room, changing dresses with the bridesmaids. The groom was standing in the resting area, hearing the report from his subordinates. Brother Hu frowned and said, "Start checking identities now, anyone without an invitation, have them stay and check their identity before letting them in. Don’t let nobodies in, if something happens, I’ll deal with you all!"

"Yes, boss, don’t worry, we’ve started asking already. These people are too mixed, all here for Brother Li, so we need to be extra careful!" whispered the little brother.

"Yeah, don’t let anything go wrong. Tsk, if I’d known it would be like this, I wouldn’t have invited so many people. If the boss came and saw the chaos, it would leave a bad impression!" Brother Hu said with irritation.

"I don’t think Brother Li will be angry, with us brothers maintaining order, and once he arrives, those people definitely won’t dare make noise!" The little brother said, receiving a light swipe on the forehead from Brother Hu. Brother Hu said, "Elder my ass, Brother Li is even younger than me. Forget it, titles don’t matter, the boss won’t get angry, now get moving and maintain order, don’t let anything go wrong!"

"Sure thing!" The little brother wasn’t angry, and turned around to walk off enthusiastically.

"What a great day!" Brother Hu clenched his hands, feeling his life was complete, and hoped nothing would go wrong, wishing only for a perfect end.

In the crowd, many came for Brother Hu, attending the wedding, guests from both sides. Yet, upon hearing that Li Yifei was coming, they were shocked, almost unbelievably so. They were all ordinary people, little characters, and now suddenly the richest man was coming, it was virtually a miracle. In between conversations, their eyes all fell towards the direction of the door, ready to catch sight of Li Yifei the moment he arrived.

The bridesmaids were the same, those from outside didn’t know the circumstances, but local people like the female doctor, born and raised here, naturally knew who the richest man was, had seen his photos, and even followed news about him online. They knew he was indeed a real person, high and unattainable, but also within reach today. Having the chance to meet him was an incredible thing.

"Yaxin, I should have guessed the surprise you mentioned, it’s truly a surprise, haha, many of the doctors and nurses in the hospital are envious of me, it’s great, being a bridesmaid wasn’t a waste." The female doctor said proudly.

"Now you know how well I treat you, I didn’t bring anyone else, just you. I’ll try to get Brother Li to take a photo with us during the wedding, and I’ll have it developed to share with you!" Wang Yaxin was also pleased. She wasn’t immune to the allure; having such a distinguished figure attend the wedding was truly an honor, so she was happy.

"Great, I’ll put the photo on my bedside, and look at it every day!" The female doctor said, holding her heart with both hands.

"Yaxin, is the richest man you mentioned really that legendary?" Wang Yaxin’s graduate school classmate asked hesitantly. She was from another province, and typically engrossed in research in the lab, with little knowledge of online affairs, even rarely using her phone because it was inconvenient to do so. Thus, she asked this question, but after asking, everyone else laughed and said, "Sis, you don’t know, do you? We don’t know other provinces’ richest, but our Ning Province’s richest is indeed a real person, and a good person, an extremely good person, and he’s good-looking too. Remember that flood relief last winter? When the dam broke, our richest man took his company there, in that cold weather. Facing the crowd trapped by the flood, he just jumped in, risking his life, rescuing many people continuously. That was a flood, and it was below zero, in mid-winter. Many people were moved to tears back then. I’ve been a fan of his since then, a true male hero, much better than those packaged pretty boys and fresh meat stars!"

The speaker was the female doctor, who sounded a bit exaggerated, but everyone else agreed, nodding and saying, "It’s true, our richest wins by being real, his deeds can be considered heroic, apart from being the richest man, his actions can earn him medals."

"I also heard that before he became rich, he was known for setting things right, never starting trouble but always standing up against injustice, never fearing anyone. Several families in our provincial capital initially kidnapped his child, trying to force him to do something. He didn’t give in, so..."

"So what happened?" asked Wang Yaxin, not knowing this part of the story, but finding it amusing since her husband had been the one causing trouble for Li Yifei then, only to end up miraculously becoming his follower.

"So, those families no longer exist, their industries gone, their members jailed, dead, scattered..."

"You’re making it sound scary, wasn’t that persecution?" the graduate student said.

"It’s not like that; I only heard about this story, but it must be true. Back then, the Li family wasn’t the richest, not even top ten, but after that incident, they surged to the top. Probably due to taking over those businesses. This matter is unclear, but the kidnapping incident is real. I guess those families pushed too hard, leading Li the richest to fight back, toppling those families!"

"You’re amazing, knowing even such news!" Wang Yaxin praised, and that bridesmaid smiled proudly, saying, "I originally didn’t know either, but my dad knows some things, he’s with the Provincial Department, so some news comes around. Pity he’s just a Vice Director, doesn’t know much. By the way, Yaxin, my dad’s out on business, otherwise, he’d have come too. He sent a two-thousand yuan red packet to congratulate your marriage!"

"Your dad is too kind, that red packet I cannot accept, but I’ll accept the congratulations!" Wang Yaxin said, realizing this wasn’t a red packet for her, but for Brother Hu, or even for Li Yifei, so she couldn’t accept it, or it wouldn’t feel right.
