Inside the hotel, the wedding ceremony was being held in grand style. The venue was decorated in vibrant colors, mostly red, creating a romantic and festive atmosphere.
However, guests continued to arrive outside the hotel, including some who were late.
As the groom, Chen Ze naturally took this situation into consideration.
He knew that every detail of the wedding was crucial, so he specially arranged for Fatty Zhang Jiesheng and his secretary Shen Xiyu to wait at the door to receive gifts and greet guests on his behalf.
Just then, a black Hongqi sedan slowly drove up and stopped in front of the hotel.
The car door opened, and a figure stepped out. This person was the top official of Shenzhen. Due to his busy work schedule, he arrived a little later than the other guests.
Upon seeing this, Chen Xiyu quickly stepped forward, smiling as she accepted the gifts from the two, and politely greeted them, "Hello, leaders! The wedding has already begun, please go in quickly."
The top leader nodded slightly in response, then stepped into the hotel.
Not long after, another person came over. This person had half-gray hair, a smile on his face, and looked quite kind and approachable.
He carried an exquisite gift, walked up to Shen Xiyu, smiled as he handed it to her, and asked, "Secretary Shen, has the wedding already started?"
Shen Xiyu recognized the person as General Manager Li from Xiangya Battery Company.
Her smile widened as she replied, "Yes, Mr. Li, you're late. Please come in quickly; the wedding has only just started five minutes ago."
"Secretary Shen, I didn't want to be late either. The company has been too busy lately, so I'm a little late." After saying that, she quickly walked into the hotel.
Ten minutes later, the fat man said to Shen Xiyu, "Secretary Shen, no one should be coming, right? Why don't we go in too? I'm going to get your boss drunk tonight."
Shen Xiyu rolled her eyes at him and said irritably, "The boss must have expected that there would be many guests from afar if he arranged for the two of us to be here."
Unexpectedly, just as she finished speaking, seven luxurious Bentley cars, like a well-trained convoy, slowly pulled up in front of the hotel.
The car doors opened one by one, and Ge Weidong was the first to get out. With his ordinary appearance, you would never guess he was a wealthy man if he weren't riding in a luxury car.
Immediately afterwards, General Manager Yu and General Manager Huang, among others, also got out of the car. They were equally well-dressed and walked with a steady gait, exuding confidence and authority.
Upon witnessing this scene, Chen Xiyu and Fatty Zhang Jiesheng immediately became extremely alert.
With a smile on his face, Ge Weidong walked straight towards Shen Xiyu. He was holding a beautifully wrapped gift in his hands. When he reached Shen Xiyu, he handed the gift over and said, "This is a small token of our appreciation. We wish the bride and groom a happy marriage."
Upon seeing this, Chen Xiyu quickly accepted the gifts with both hands, her face beaming with gratitude, and respectfully replied, "Thank you, gentlemen. The wedding has already started for a while now, please come in."
Ge Weidong and his group smiled and nodded, then stepped into the hotel.
Fatty Zhang Jiesheng watched their backs disappear at the hotel entrance before turning around and looking at the mountain of gifts piled up behind him.
He couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, there are so many gifts! I bet we'd need a truck to carry them all!"
Shen Xiyu looked at the gifts and agreed, "Yes, people keep sending gifts, and we're almost out of space here. I need to call the company right away and send a truck to take all these gifts to the boss's house."
The fat man nodded in agreement and then said, "Secretary Shen, I'm going to the restroom. You can stay here and watch over things by yourself."
"Okay, go ahead!"
Just as the fat man turned to leave, a beautiful woman with a graceful figure walked over.
She wore a floral dress, the hem of which swayed gently in the breeze. The dress's light and fresh color complemented her pure and lovely temperament.
The beautiful woman had a small, exquisite handbag slung over her shoulder. The color of the bag matched her dress, adding a bright touch to her overall outfit.
She didn't carry any gifts, which made her look a little empty, but that didn't affect her decision to attend the wedding.
Her steps were light and slow, as if time itself had become leisurely beneath her feet.
When she walked up to Chen Xiyu, she smiled and asked, "Hello, I'm here to attend Chen Ze's wedding. Has the wedding started yet?" Her voice was clear and melodious, like the chirping of silkworms in spring.
Shen Xiyu looked the beautiful woman up and down and noticed that her hands were empty, which made her suspicious.
Instead of answering, she asked, "Beautiful lady, did you bring your invitation?"
Huang Xinyi seemed to have expected this. She spread her hands, revealing a helpless expression: "Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I came in such a hurry that I forgot to bring the invitation. Could you please make an exception and let me go in for the wedding first? I'm Chen Ze's classmate."
However, Chen Xiyu was not swayed by her words. She firmly shook her head and refused, saying, "Miss, I'm really sorry, but you can't just go in without an invitation. Unless you have someone with an invitation to take you in, I can't help you."
Upon hearing Shen Xiyu's reply, Huang Xinyi's expression changed slightly. She bit her lip, revealing a hint of resentment.
Actually, she didn't have an invitation at all. She said that just to try her luck and see if she could sneak in.
However, reality dealt her a small blow.
Nevertheless, Huang Xinyi still held a sliver of hope in her heart; she still wanted to take one last look at the man who had once silently loved her—Chen Ze.
Just then, a man wearing glasses walked briskly over. He was tall and had a refined air about him; his eyes behind the glasses revealed gentleness and wisdom.
The man walked closer, stopped, smiled, and asked in a loud voice, "Secretary Shen, has the wedding begun?"
Upon hearing the voice, Shen Xiyu quickly turned around and replied with a smile, "Principal Li, the wedding has been going on for more than ten minutes. Please go in quickly so you don't miss the exciting part."
Huang Xinyi, who was standing to the side, was waiting anxiously. When she suddenly saw her principal appear, her eyes lit up as if she had seen a savior.
She hurried forward, her face full of anticipation, and called out, "Principal, it's me, Xiao Huang! Do you remember me? I was in such a rush today that I forgot to bring my invitation. Secretary Shen said that I can't come in without an invitation. Could you please make an exception?"
Huang Xinyi's voice was clear and melodious, and her words were sincere, which made people feel pity for her.
Moreover, she is not only beautiful, but also has long, jet-black hair that cascades down her shoulders like a waterfall, which further accentuates her lovely face and outstanding temperament.
In addition, she has always had excellent academic performance and is a well-known top student in school, so both teachers and the principal pay special attention to and like her.
