The printing house was instructed to use the last of their paper to create invitations, which needed to feature a recessed "Double Happiness" symbol. This design was intentionally created by Chen Haoxuan, as the recessed "Double Happiness" would be fitted with a golden version of the symbol. Chen Haoxuan wanted recipients of his invitation to feel compelled to keep it, which is why he designed it this way.
Chen Haoxuan did not have many friends, nor did he have any relatives, but he had numerous business acquaintances from China, the United States, H Country, and various other nations, though none from Island Nation. While others might take their time thinking about whom to invite, Chen Haoxuan was different. He spread a world map on the ground and looked at each location, writing down names of people he knew. If he didn’t know anyone from a certain place, he would simply draw a circle to indicate that there was no one to invite from there.
It took Chen Haoxuan an entire day to write out the invitations, which shows how many people he invited. He quickly sent out all the invitations by express delivery, while those nearby were personally delivered by Jiang Dong and others.
Chen Haoxuan's friends gradually received his invitations and began contemplating how much money to put in their red envelopes. Should they give ten thousand? That seemed a bit low since the value of his invitation was already in the tens of thousands. Perhaps one hundred thousand would be more appropriate! This was the mindset of millionaires; billionaires might consider giving ten million. Ordinary people, like those from Chen Family Village, typically gave one thousand.
Although the villagers' contributions of one thousand were significantly less than those of the businessmen, it was already their limit. They were still ordinary villagers and couldn't afford to give much more! Typically, when attending weddings, they would give fifty or one hundred; giving one thousand was considered a substantial gift. If it weren't for Chen Haoxuan's wedding, they wouldn't have taken out so much money!
The businessmen gave large amounts with ulterior motives. Just think about it! If Chen Haoxuan felt generous and offered them a big business deal, wouldn’t that present an opportunity for wealth?
Chen Haoxuan issued an order that on July 19th, all companies associated with him would be closed for the day. All employees would receive a red envelope worth one hundred yuan; team leaders could receive one thousand yuan; supervisors two thousand yuan; and managers could get up to ten thousand yuan. Although these amounts may seem small individually, collectively they could support a wealthy lifestyle for generations because Chen Haoxuan owned hundreds of large companies with many employees. For instance, Universal Mobile Company alone had over four million employees.
Even before Chen Haoxuan's wedding began, news outlets worldwide started broadcasting stories about him and dispatched numerous reporters for interviews—not just with him but also with others. On the day of his wedding, many prominent figures were expected to attend; anyone who could make it onto the world's billionaire list would be there. Even China's top leader stated that he would personally congratulate Chen Haoxuan on his wedding day.
With so many dignitaries attending Chen Haoxuan's wedding, it was significant news that could potentially boost viewership ratings.
Chen Haoxuan invited so many people that he struggled to find a venue for the banquet. Regular hotels seemed inadequate for such a large crowd. Although Entertainment Street could accommodate them after renovations, that would be troublesome. Ultimately, Chen Haoxuan decided on something unique: he would hold the banquet over the river and hired over ten construction companies to build bridges leading to Chen Family Village.
The bridges were designed to be five meters above the water surface with iron pillars for support and wooden structures above. Each bridge would be four meters wide with two meters between each bridge. Chen Haoxuan planned to construct nine such bridges; they would serve as both a venue for the banquet and later as scenic spots for tourists.
This solution was necessary because Chen Haoxuan wanted to marry in Chen Family Village rather than in the city. The fields there were filled with precious medicinal herbs, while the mountains were either used for pig farming or planted with pine trees and bamboo—there simply wasn’t any space available. The river provided an ideal location where building wooden bridges created open space.
As for the food, that's easy to manage. Chen Family Village raises plenty of chickens, ducks, pigs, fish, and cows, while the neighboring village grows a lot of vegetables. The only thing missing is lobsters and other seafood.
The villagers of Chen Family Village all received invitations from Chen Haoxuan, making them guests of Chen Haoxuan. He certainly wouldn't ask them for help. Instead, Chen Haoxuan had Yang Lin send all his staff over to assist, as they were all waitstaff and perfectly suited for the task.
Many guests arrived early at Chen Family Village. They wanted to come and have fun first because the scenery there was beautiful at the moment. More importantly, they might get to know some wealthy individuals. It was wise for those looking to build connections to arrive early since most people would leave after the wedding banquet; there was no reason to stay otherwise!
Chen Family Village gradually became lively, bustling with crowds. Most people were arriving to see Chen Haoxuan's wedding, not necessarily those invited by him.
Zhou Kexin and her friends were temporarily staying at Chen Yina's house. Every day, they couldn't help but express their envy towards Chen Yina for being able to marry Chen Haoxuan; it was a dream for each of them. Unfortunately, this wasn't ancient times where a man could have multiple wives; otherwise, they would all be Chen Haoxuan's wives.
In Chen Yina's room, Zhou Kexin and her friends were playing around. Zhou Kexin rolled around on the bed with the sheets, truly rolling in bed. After a while, she jokingly asked Chen Yina, who was applying lipstick in front of the mirror, "Nana, do you feel any regret right now? If you do, just don't get married; I'll marry him for you."
Chen Yina shot Zhou Kexin a glance and proudly said, "You wish! There aren't many good men like Brother Xuan in this world. I wouldn't want him; that would make me a fool."
"Woo woo woo... looks like I'm destined to be a mistress," Zhou Kexin pretended to cry while lying on the bed.
Chen Yina stood up and walked over to the bed, giving Zhou Kexin's ample backside a slap that echoed in the room. If there had been a guy present, he would surely have felt some excitement. "What's the difference whether you marry or not? Besides not having a title, you're just like me."
Jiang Xianghan spoke up to Chen Yina, "Nana, have you talked to Haoxuan about having a baby? If not, you should really discuss it with him. Honestly, I feel like having kids."
"Brother Xuan is so wealthy; we could help him raise dozens without him going broke. When I have time, I'll ask him if we can each help him have a child. How about that?" Chen Yina said with a smile.
