Chapter 351: The Grand Wedding

September 19th, 1950, the eighth day of the eighth lunar month, an auspicious day, suitable for a grand wedding.

Bai Fanyu, as the father, was even more anxious than Wang Yan and Miss Bai. Since the last formal meeting, through contact, he knew that Wang Mou was a satisfactory son-in-law, and he knew that Wang Yan let him make the decision, so what else was there to say.

The next day, he personally found a master to calculate the auspicious day, booked the banquet, contacted the photographer to take pictures together, and ordered the invitations to be sent out early.

Bai Fanyu, as a big tycoon in Kowloon Walled City, his connections naturally didn't need to be mentioned. For such a big event as marrying off a daughter, except for the very special ones, most would come to join in the fun. A group of hooligan leaders in Hong Kong and Kowloon, a group of Chinese chief inspectors in the police force, some officials from this bureau or that bureau, some famous people in the business world, as well as representatives of the younger generation of several Justices of the Peace, and many prominent figures in the Walled City of Kowloon. This lineup in the Chinese circle of Hong Kong and Kowloon, although there was some gap from the top, wasn't bad.

Wang Yan's own connections were much worse. Relatively speaking, he knew fewer people in the upper echelons, but he knew very many ordinary people. In order to show his regard for those people, he invited some ordinary uniformed policemen, plainclothes officers, as well as the families of policemen in the factory, and the old men and old women from Ciyunshan at the beginning to come over, specifically opening a few tables for them, with Zhu Zai and Lei Luo enthusiastically greeting them.

With so many people, fortunately, the Peninsula Hotel was big enough, otherwise it would really be difficult to support.

This wasn't the first time Wang Yan had done things at the Peninsula Hotel, whether now or in the future, this hotel was very strong. Especially now, its status was higher than later, and the lineup was enough.

After the ceremony, Wang Yan and Miss Bai were led by Bai Fanyu to introduce them table by table. It was to introduce connections to Wang Yan, pushing him out, although he was already very prestigious. But having people made things easy to handle, as has been the case since ancient times, and there was no need to take a detour if it could be convenient.

So Wang Yan enthusiastically recognized a circle of uncles, aunts, big brothers, and big sisters, and with Bai Fanyu's method of introduction, basically who could be relied on and who couldn't be relied on were clear. With today's drink, borrowing the identity of Bai Fanyu's son-in-law, he could find them in the future if he had anything. Adding Bai Fanyu's financial support, this was the key to Lei Luo's advancement.

For Wang Yan, these were naturally nothing. Even without Bai Fanyu's introduction, he could get to know them himself, but it would just take more effort.

Soon, after drinking table by table, they arrived at the table where Yan Tong was.

"Come, Ah Yan, let me introduce you. This is Yan Tong, you are all familiar with each other, this is Lan Gang, he is Liu Fu..."

Bai Fanyu was quite capable, he found all the Chinese chief inspectors in the front row. After a round of commercial mutual boasting, Bai Fanyu looked at Yan Tong: "I heard that Brother Yan and Ah Yan have some contradictions. You are all brothers in the police force, and you are his superior. As the saying goes, enemies should be resolved rather than knotted, I think there is no need for everyone to hold onto the past." He was saying it to Yan Tong, but his eyes were looking at the other chief inspectors. Although Wang Yan had already explained the relationship to him, he still wanted to ease it. After all, it was just a matter of moving his mouth, and trying it wouldn't hurt.

Yan Tong laughed and waved his hand: "Hey, Brother Bai, what you said are all misunderstandings. What contradictions can Ah Yan and I have? We have always been good to each other. And with our relationship, Ah Yan married your beautiful daughter and became your son-in-law, isn't our relationship even closer, right, Ah Yan?"

This old kid was shameless, taking advantage of his seniority here. Wang Yan laughed, opened his arms and stepped forward to hug Yan Tong: "Brother Tong, the last time you and I met and talked happily, it was like yesterday, how can it be so distant today?"

"Ha!"

The man's sudden voice, as well as the action of his body moving suddenly, made Miss Bai, who was about to scare people, scare herself. She rolled her eyes at her own man, bent over and hugged the man from behind, cheek to cheek: "Annoying, just scaring me."

"Hey, Miss Bai, don't blame me, okay? Clearly, you were the one who wanted to scare me first." As he spoke, Wang Yan reached out and held her in his arms, letting her wrap her hands around his neck.

"Then was I scared by you? Look at the result, Brother Yan?" While teasing and flirting, Miss Bai twisted her body in the man's arms, adjusted her position, and finally noticed the weather outside: "Ah, it's raining, I still wanted to go out and play with Ah Fang and the others."

"You bunch of young ladies are together, everyone has a driver, still afraid of rain and wind?"

"The weather is bad, it affects the mood."

"I think it's still okay, although it's still a bit stuffy, it's always more comfortable than being roasted by the big sun."

Miss Bai didn't answer, reaching out and kneading Wang Mou's earlobe: "My dad said, you have to be steady after marriage, don't play around all day. What do you think I should do?"

"What do you want to do?"

"I'm asking you, aren't I? Your business is doing so well, starting from scratch, you must have many ideas."

This was correct, Wang Mou's brain was full of earning big money: "You can open a milk tea shop."

"Milk tea? I don't know how to make it, and there are so many people making milk tea, and they are so good, how can we compete?"

"It's not making our Hong Kong-style milk tea, but some other flavors, and you can also make some fruit juice cold drinks, etc." Wang Yan explained casually, and patted her little butt: "Alright, leave this matter to me, you just need to buy a storefront in a prosperous place, wait a few months, and then you can be a beautiful boss lady."

"Can it work?"

"Otherwise, don't ask me, and don't believe me after asking?" Wang Yan rubbed her smooth skin: "Should be punished..."

It was itchy, Miss Bai couldn't bear it, couldn't help but twist her body, reaching out to stop the mischief: "Don't move around, today is our first day of marriage, how about we go see my dad? I guess he's scolding us at home now."

"Since you know, why were you so stubborn yesterday?" Wang Yan shook his head, hugged her and got up: "Let's go, wash up. It's almost noon now, if we go later, he'll really scold us."

"Oh, it's okay, let him wait..."

Miss Bai was a filial good daughter...

Married life was no different, what it was before, it was still the same after. Except for occasionally returning to Kowloon, having a meal with Bai Fanyu, listening to his nagging, and inevitably being urged to have children, the rest of the time was spent in Sha Tau Kok.

Besides occasionally going out to play with her good friends, Miss Bai spent most of her time acting in sync with Wang Yan, following him wherever he went. It was really too idle in Sha Tau Kok, there was nothing to do, the two of them either went to the factory to check the situation or walked on the road everywhere.

And because it was really too boring, Miss Bai started the virtuous wife and mother mode. The young lady who had never done any work since she was a child started to work hard, not even using the nanny, and started to wash clothes and cook under the guidance of the nanny, looking quite like it.

It was Wang Yan who suffered, the clothes weren't washed clean, sometimes when it rained, they would bubble, and the food she cooked was even more dark cuisine, difficult to handle. After many bitter persuasions without success, he just let her be. However, he activated the skill, one shot into the soul, plus the milk tea shop, should be able to beat back Miss Bai's enthusiasm very well.

Milk tea wasn't anything with high technical content, nothing more than some formulas, etc. It just happened that he was raising a group of people who studied beverages, and under his suggestion and command, they developed various flavors of milk tea and cold drinks that became popular later.

His subordinates also had machinery manufacturing and materials research, so matching paper cups, sealing machines, etc., were all made.

Didn't make plastic cups, not that they couldn't, but out of environmental considerations, he made paper cups. The cost was indeed higher, but considering the future problems from the beginning was always right. And this milk tea, cold drink, wasn't a civilian product, the price wasn't low, and cost wasn't the first element to consider.

This was also the reason for the current economic situation, making this kind of beverage unable to become a street product. And to tell the truth, even when materials were abundant later, a cup of twenty or thirty milk tea, cold drink, wasn't cheap, and those who weren't really rich had to think about whether it was worth it when buying.

He also had subordinates in mechanical manufacturing and materials research, so the matching paper cups, sealing machines, and the like were all made.

There were so many people in the world, and everyone's taste was different, so there were always people who liked to drink milk tea, so in the future, he would have to engage in global chain stores. Accumulating over time, that was also a profitable business.

After these were finished, it was already two months later.

After finishing these, and after Miss Bai had racked her brains for two months to come up with the company name "Chang'e" and had finalized the trademark, logo, and the like, it was again that chubby lawyer, Xu Hong, who began registering it all over the world.

There are so many people in the world, and everyone's tastes are different. There will always be those who like to drink milk tea, so in the future, they would have to run a global chain. Over time, that would also be a profitable business.

She already knew she was pregnant. After all, her body started to react. Fortunately, Wang Mou took good care of her, which made her have the mind to follow and pretend.

Wang Yan didn't bother to pay attention to her, took out the key to unlock, and lifted the rolling shutter in front of him: "Boss Bai, take a look, this is your milk tea shop."

Miss Bai exaggeratedly rested her hands on her waist, deliberately sticking out her belly, and coldly gave her man praise: "Not bad performance."

This storefront, this decoration, was out of tune with the surrounding shops, and could be noticed at a glance, making people can't help but raise the desire to explore. It was also in a corner with heavy traffic, and it could be imagined that the business wouldn't be too bad in the future.

Wang Yan couldn't be bothered to pay attention to her. He took out the key, unlocked the lock, and lifted the rolling shutter door in front of him: "Boss Bai, take a look. This is your milk tea shop."

Hearing the title, Bai Yuechang happily turned her head to look at the black plaque hanging there, on which the two characters "Chang'e" were written in a wild and uninhibited style. There was a freehand Chinese painting of Chang'e floating with her sleeves, running toward a yellow full moon in the corner. Looking down, the small display window was a thick, solid piece of glass, and the situation inside could be seen at a glance. Inside was a large counter, with metallic-lustered machines placed behind it, and in front of the counter were four small round tables surrounded by scattered, colorful chairs.

This storefront and this decoration were out of place with some of the surrounding shops, making it easy to notice at a glance and making people unable to help but feel a desire to explore. Being located at a corner with heavy foot traffic, it was foreseeable that business wouldn't be too bad in the future.

Miss Bai looked at the storefront in surprise. Ever since she and her friends, who acted as her advisors, had chosen this storefront and communicated to buy it directly, she hadn't been back in order to maintain freshness and mystery, and she had extremely restrained herself from asking about it. Seeing it suddenly today, she was indeed happy.

Afterward, Wang Yan opened the thick glass door. Miss Bai walked in, touching this and poking that, wandering around twice before suddenly freezing: "It's really not small, is it? In such a small place, there's basically no way to let many people sit in the shop, right?"

"How long does it take to make a cup of drink? Four tables are enough. This isn't a restaurant or a coffee shop; it's not meant for people to come and sit. Also, when the time comes, mobilize your friends and have them all come to support the business."

"Do I need you to tell me that? Otherwise, I wouldn't have forgotten them." After thinking about her friends, Miss Bai remembered the key problem: "I don't know how to make it, and I'm pregnant with the baby. Have you found the shop assistants?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to do it yourself? As for recruiting employees, of course, you, Boss Bai, have to do it yourself."

Miss Bai happily stood on tiptoe, not even caring about sticking out her belly for show, and walked around the shop twice with her hands behind her back: "Why don't you find them? Aren't you competing with that bastard Ngan Tung and other Chinese detectives to see who can recruit more people? Although I can only recruit two people here, you also said that we are going to open a chain in the future, and we will definitely need a lot of people for every link. For this shop, just see if any of your subordinates have seventeen or eighteen-year-old sisters at home and find two to come over."

Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "Alright, let's do as you say. I'll have someone handle it later, and have them come over the day after tomorrow."

"Then it's settled. Let's go. Aren't we still going to Tung Tau Village to see A-Lok's child?"

Lee Rock's child had been born just last night. Although it was two years earlier than in the original timeline, perhaps it was destined; he and A-Ha still had a boy.

Going over today was, first, to see their nephew, and second, because Lee Rock knew he was a divine physician and wanted him to write a prescription to help A-Ha replenish the vital energy lost during childbirth. Third, Miss Bai had said she wanted to learn from experience and ask what childbirth was like; her mother had died of dystocia when giving birth to her, so she was somewhat afraid of childbirth.

Nodding, Wang Yan locked the door, got into the car with Miss Bai, and started the engine to drive toward Tung Tau Village...
