Chapter 142: Successfully Clung to the Thigh

Wang Yuling's relatives didn't believe it, went to the original hotel, heard from the original hotel that the guests had canceled the banquet, so they came to this hotel with a tentative attitude.

They hadn't expected it; upon arriving, they were shocked to see the wedding so lavish. Wang Yuling's relatives couldn't believe this was Song Huihui's wedding, but the entrance clearly wrote the names of Song Huihui and Xiao Junrong, plus photos of the two.

Seeing how extravagant the wedding was, Wang Yuling's relatives were amazed, discussing and speculating about the groom's family with those around them.

As guests entered, Xiao Yunzhe saw Wang De An and his wife in the crowd: "Dad, Brother Wang and Miss Ning have also come; look, it seems he even invited many people."

Xiao Ming followed his son's gaze, then smiled. "This Wang De An is quite clever, actually inviting so many people."

Xiao Ming could tell that those who came with Wang De An were all from their bureau, and several of them held positions of status there.

Naturally accepting Wang De An's goodwill, Xiao Ming gestured for a few children to follow as he walked over to Wang De An.

"Congratulations, Mr. Xiao!" Wang De An greeted Xiao Ming first.

"Thank you, thank you! Welcome, everyone, welcome..." Xiao Ming nodded with a smile.

Then he said to his son beside him: "Son, later you should have a good drink with your friend."

What Xiao Ming said to Xiao Yunzhe was actually meant for others to hear; his son's friend, this amounted to publicly acknowledging that Wang De An's relationship with the Xiao family was not shallow.

Xiao Ming conducts himself this way: you respect me a foot, I respect you ten feet.

Otherwise, one would surely die an ugly death.

Seeing himself treated this way by Xiao Ming, Wang De An's heart swelled with joy; Xiao Ming's attitude said it all—he had successfully clung to a powerful patron.

The future held infinite beauty awaiting him.

Those whom Wang De An had brought, upon seeing Xiao Ming, were all extremely excited, wanting to step forward and say a few words to him, but they understood they knew Xiao Ming while he did not know them, so they suppressed their excitement and politely smiled at Xiao Ming.

Wang De An quickly introduced: "Mr. Xiao, I've brought a few friends, and I also invited my superior; everyone heard today is your nephew's big happy day, so they came to share a cup of wedding wine."

"Good, good, good, welcome everyone!" Xiao Ming, being gracious, extended his hand and greeted those Wang De An had brought.

"Welcome, everyone, I am Xiao Ming."

"Luo Jun!" The leading man, seeing Xiao Ming extend his hand toward him, excitedly tapped his trembling hand: "Mr. Xiao, I've long heard of your great name; I never expected to actually meet you in person—how fortunate, truly fortunate!"

"Mr. Luo, welcome, come in, please." After greeting those Wang De An had brought, Xiao Ming made a gesture of invitation.

Those whom Wang De An had brought, seeing Xiao Ming shake hands with them, were all extremely delighted.

Who would have thought, such a big shot as Xiao Ming would actually shake hands with them?

Each furtively stared at and felt the hand that had shaken Xiao Ming's, their hearts surging.

Even Luo Jun, upon hearing that Xiao Ming had come to Yun Cheng and that the Xiao family was holding a celebration, set aside his important work and rushed to the Xiao family's wedding venue.

It seemed they were just here to eat the banquet, but in fact everyone harbored the same thought: to somehow connect with this big shot Xiao Ming, even if only a little.

Moreover, Luo Jun is a leading figure in Yun Cheng; if he could seize the opportunity to persuade Xiao Ming to do something for Yun Cheng's development, that would be excellent.

"Huh?"

"Who is that talking with Mr. Xiao? Have I seen him before?"

"You have, how could you not have seen him? Isn't he our Yun Cheng's leading military figure?"

Xiao Ming, Xiao Shan, and Xiao Xinran led Luo Jun and the others to the main seats in the hall; seeing this, Wang Yuling's side were all dumbfounded.

"Good heavens, what kind of family is the Xiao family? Even the city's big shots came to attend the wedding."

Someone gasped, and others followed that person's gaze, then began to whisper in surprise.

Not only Luo Jun came; Yun Cheng's deputy military leader also came, together with several heads of relevant departments—at a glance, they were all prominent figures.

And these people's attitudes toward Xiao Ming were extremely good.

But this wasn't the end; while everyone was still immersed in shock, another big figure walked in.

"Good heavens, who do I see? It's actually the president of International Trade Jade Capital, Zhao Dequan!"

"Could there be Ma Ba Ba from Alibaba?"

"Not only that, there's also Ma Ba Ba from Tengxu; the two big shots actually both came at once."

"Oh my, there's more behind—these are all famous billionaires from Wuxingguo, with net worth over hundreds of billions; what's going on, is this the Xiao family's wedding or a gathering of tycoons?"

The people attending the wedding were excitedly discussing.

Even Wang De An, who had just been led by Xiao Ming to the main seat, Luo Jun and the others were stunned, unable to tell whether this was really happening or a dream.

The person beside him nudged the dazed Luo Jun and whispered, "Mr. Luo, this opportunity is too rare."

At a glance, they're all tycoons; if we could strike an investment deal with just one of them, Yun Cheng's economic development would surely rise to an unimaginable height.

Luo Jun nodded in agreement: "Indeed, I never expected Mr. Xiao to actually invite so many big shots."

He hadn't forgotten why he came here.

The Xiao family and Wang Yuling's family are actually ordinary households; Wang Yuling's family is slightly better off, but the difference isn't great, and both sides' relatives are common folk.

They don't know others, but they recognize those big celebrities and the two Ma Ba Bas, having seen them often on TV.

Outside the restaurant, the person in charge of recording gifts, upon seeing these tycoons, was just as stunned as everyone else.

After these tycoons had presented their gifts and gone to the restaurant, they eagerly began discussing the gifts they had given with those around them.

Not long after, this news reached everyone's ears.

Those astronomically priced gifts dazzled everyone's eyes.

International Trade Jade Capital's president Zhao Dequan, 2.2 million!

Both Ma Ba Bas were 2.68 million each.

Such astronomical figures are unimaginable for many, yet they simply gave them to the Xiao family.

Here, everyone finally understood why so many tycoons and celebrities appeared at the Xiao family's wedding banquet.
