566: Chapter 566 Eat up the rich!
Madness!
What was supposed to be a simple wedding banquet turned into a grand assembly.
Many people from neighboring towns and counties flocked in as if they were attending a temple fair, causing Genlong Village to be overwhelmed with crowds.
The television station dispatched a crew, and drones flew overhead for aerial shots.
In the fields, on the hillsides, on the roads…
There were swarms of people everywhere, a sea of humanity!
The Wu Family’s courtyard became more like a tourist attraction.
Dense masses of people surged in without regard for the hardships.
Braving the blazing sun, they almost crushed each other, enacting a live version of “following the herd.”
Perhaps it was because of the mentality that “since we’re here, we must take a look.”
Or maybe it was the thought of a free banquet, “Why not eat if it’s free?”
Of course.
If everyone else is going, why shouldn’t I?
Wu Jie, the “Underdog Counterattack” role model whose name had spread far and wide on television and the internet, what does he actually look like in person?
The super Fair-skinned, Rich and Beautiful woman he’s marrying, that beautiful CEO of a world top 500 company, could she really be as gorgeous as a fairy?
Would the wealthy and influential Tang Family of Tianyuan distribute red envelopes on the spot?
I heard that last night at the flower night, the cigarettes and wedding sweets handed out were all high-end goods.
So the wedding banquet today must surely offer good food and drinks, right?
…
Different people had different thoughts.
But in the end, the result was that the entire township was paralyzed.
Traffic came to a standstill.
The roads within Pingle Town had turned into a complete parking lot.
To avoid causing a total gridlock on the important county roads, numerous traffic police were on shift duty.
They set up checkpoints every few hundred meters.
They let transit vehicles pass swiftly and advised those coming for the wedding excitement to park nearby and walk to Genlong Village.
There was no helping it!
The whole Genlong Village was not “jammed with traffic,” but “jammed with people.”
Previously, Wu Jie had chartered buses to shuttle guests back and forth from the town to the village.
But now…
The shuttle buses absolutely couldn’t meet the demand, and there were too many people on the roads.
More serious than the paralyzed traffic were the problems at the wedding site.
Mr.
and Mrs.
Wu Jianguo had originally counted family and friends and thought several dozen tables would suffice for the banquet.
Later, Wu Jie suggested not accepting any gift money and simply inviting the whole village for a meal, thus changing it to a hundred tables of buffet.
With their son doing well and their family marrying into the distinguished Tang Family of Tianyuan, Mr.
and Mrs.
Wu Jianguo happily agreed.
To be on the safe side, they even prepared enough for four meals, with two hundred tables for each meal.
In the countryside, hosting dozens of banquet tables is common, but one or two hundred tables was definitely very rare.
Moreover, they actually didn’t have many friends and relatives; twenty or thirty tables would have been enough.
Preparing for two hundred tables, the old couple was ready to waste a great deal of food and drinks.
But what about reality?
Plans could not keep pace with change.
With today’s throngs of people, it would take more than just two hundred tables!
More like two thousand tables weren’t enough.
There were too many people.
The two hundred tables initially prepared were far from enough to accommodate everyone.
Moreover, there was a serious shortage of bowls, utensils, and ingredients, and the speed of serving dishes simply couldn’t keep up with consumption.
Furthermore.
According to custom, the newlyweds and the parents from both sides were supposed to go table by table to toast and thank the guests.
But at this wedding banquet…
How the heck were they supposed to make toasts?
After arranging for close friends and family at over a hundred tables,
as soon as the first group finished eating, the seats were quickly filled again.
It was one wave after another, with no end in sight.
The food and drinks originally prepared for the evening banquet had all been used up, yet it was still not enough.
With this occupancy rate…
If this were a restaurant, it would be laughing all the way to the bank.
But today wasn’t about running a restaurant business!
It was about providing a feast for everyone to enjoy for free.
Luckily, the top-tier ingredients and drinks Wu Jie “looted” from the state guesthouse were first served to the close friends and family.
As for the strangers who came after, the ones I didn’t recognize at all…
I decided to clear out the inventory first.
We used up all the food and drinks stored in our home until we completely ran out of ingredients and could no longer keep the banquet tables flowing with dishes.
Then we removed the tables and arranged for people to distribute cigarettes and wedding candies with baskets.
There weren’t enough cigarettes and candies for one per person, so we simply broke them up into portions.
We filled baskets and sent people in various directions, scattering cigarettes and candies all the way.
As for the wedding feast…
We truly couldn’t accommodate anyone else at home!
It wasn’t as if we were going to cut bunches of grass from the barren hills or pick unripe corn from the fields to boil for these uninvited ‘guests,’ right?
However, given the hot weather and the fact that many were tired and hungry from traveling a long distance, we couldn’t just leave them without any gesture of hospitality.
So, after discussing with my family, Wu Jie arranged for someone to go to the town.
We booked every single restaurant, big and small, in the area.
We asked each place to prepare a sign-in sheet.
Those who came for Wu Jie and Tang Xiao’s wedding were to register their names, phone numbers, and ID numbers, and they would eat and drink for free today.
It’s just money, isn’t it?
Even if the entire population of the county came, what then?
A few hundred thousand people, spending an average of one hundred each, only amounts to tens of millions.
But obviously, that was impossible.
Pingle Town had already closed its roads.
It wasn’t possible to drive in.
Visitors could only arrive on motorcycles, electric scooters, or by foot, so the number of people that could come was naturally limited.
Even if we assumed a full hundred thousand flooded into the town and each spent a hundred, that would be just ten million.
Guests are to be cherished!
No matter if they came to curry favor or simply to join in the fun and eat at the expense of the wealthy.
After all, on such a joyous day, we couldn’t exactly turn people away, could we?
As Tan said, with so much money sitting in domestic and foreign bank accounts, if not spent, it’s forever nothing more than a string of numbers.
Of course!
Having spent so much money, there had to be some effect.
Wu Jie not only had Tang Xin and the others start major live broadcasts but also had the county television people do more aerial shots and interviews.
We projected the videos of the huge crowds on the internet.
Fear of fame as a pig fears fattening?
So many people hustling to come here, and it wasn’t even me who invited them.
Since they came all this way, creating such a majestic scene, why not promote it?
From ancient times to the present!
Who else has had a wedding banquet as grand and magnificent as mine?
This wasn’t computer-generated special effects but a genuine throng of people and a sea of heads.
Post it online.
Let the millions of netizens see, surely attracting many people’s envy and resentment.
Wu Jie didn’t lack money.
But energy points…
the more, the better!
And to do great things with little money.
Don’t be fooled by the losses of booking all the town’s dining establishments and providing free food and drink.
By doing this, we could avoid being quietly cursed for being stingy and provide plenty of material for discussion.
Just the people from this county and the surrounding areas, after attending, would naturally be abuzz with discussion.
And when these people returned, the word would spread from one to ten, ten to a hundred, embellishing what they saw and heard.
Plus the various reactions of the netizens…
Wu Jie was very pleased to find that the rate of energy point increase was quite delightful!
Maybe, just like the comments in the live broadcast chat.
“Brother is awesome!
So many people attending the wedding, this must be the first time in history, right?”
“Having a wedding in Tianyuan, with all traffic yielding for it, and then returning to my hometown to be congratulated by the whole county?”
“Impressive!
A wedding banquet like this must cost tens of millions!”
“Kneeling before such capricious generosity!
This move is simply too heaven-defying (burning money).”
“Hurrying to Pingle Town at full speed, anyone teaming up?
Hurry up!”
“What does it mean to feed off the rich?
This is a real-life rendition!”
“Envious of Wu Jie!
Married a wealthy and influential wife, could treat several hundred thousand people!”
“Someone get me a rich wife too!
I don’t want to struggle anymore!”
“Able to buy a diamond ring worth tens of millions, of course, he can afford to host a few hundred thousand people at a wedding banquet!
With money, you really can do whatever you want!”
“A bunch of internet celebrities and live streamers are on their way to the scene, there will definitely be many broadcasters stirring up excitement later!”
“Oh my God!
With so many people, dealing with eating, drinking, relieving, and sleeping is going to be so troublesome, right?”
“This is just lunchtime, what about the evening banquet?
Will there be some cool and amazing celebration tonight?”
