Chapter 286: 88 Luxury Wedding Cars
Chapter Two Hundred Eighty-Six
"Wow, what car is that? It looks so high-end, and look at the back, so many luxury cars. Are those Mercedes? Is someone else getting married in this neighborhood today?"
Those from the Hong Family waiting downstairs turned green with envy as they watched one luxury car after another driving into the community.
With their limited exposure, they only recognized brands like Mercedes and BMW.
Zhao Tingqiang snickered, "Mercedes? That's nothing. Look at the few leading cars: Rolls-Royce, Bentley, and those supercars—Porsche, Ferrari F12, all worth millions each."
His knowledge, naturally, was not something that ordinary people could compare with.
He knew about these luxury cars like the back of his hand.
But even he was puzzled, since Niu Y County didn't seem to have any Rolls-Royces.
He recognized a few of the others, though.
Such top-tier luxury cars, the entire county town had but a few.
They were the pride of the few top tycoons in the county, he at least recognized that Bentley, belonging to the county's richest man with a lame leg, Wang Sheng, and that Ferrari must belong to the young master of the Ying Family... these were figures he couldn't even aspire to toast.
The cars kept coming in an unending stream, not to mention those first dozen or so.
Those following were all Mercedes S-Class, BMW 7 Series.
One of which was worth two or three of his Audi A6.
The inflow of cars had already blocked the roads of this shabby community.
Good gracious, how many cars were there? Had all the luxury cars in Niu Y County gathered here? Zhao Tingqiang's heart skipped a beat, thinking how odd today was. Could it be that this rickety old community was hiding some important figure to have such a top-tier wedding procession roll in?
As for Long Xiaoshan, he didn't even consider it.
A mere farmer like that, even selling himself wouldn't fetch the price of a single wheel of those cars.
The people from the Hong Family were all dumbfounded by the mention of cars worth millions each.
Where would they know of cars that could sell for so much? In their eyes, Zhao Tingqiang's Audi A6 was already a top-tier luxury car. Millions could buy ten houses in the county town.
The people from the Hong Family buzzed with activity.
"Whose wedding cars are those? Xiaofei, is someone in your community getting married today too?"
"Maybe they're here to pick up the bride. I wonder which girl is so lucky, she's definitely marrying into a wealthy family and becoming a phoenix rising to the treetops."
Everyone was guessing whose wedding cars these were, their faces full of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Hong Xiaofei felt somewhat downhearted.
He sighed inwardly.
Looking at his rented Accord, his mood sank even further.
Just looking at the wedding cars, any single one was more expensive than all his cars combined today. Yet, he could only drive such a broken car to pick up the bride, not knowing what Xu Lu's mother would say about him—he who was always met with their disapproval and criticism.
The leading Rolls-Royce stopped at the intersection for a moment, someone poked their head out to look around, then suddenly drove toward the building where the Hong Family was.
"Could it be someone from our building? Is anyone in our building getting married today?" The Hong Family members were puzzled to see the lead car approaching.
"I haven't heard anything."
"We shouldn't have anyone else in our building getting married, should we? We're neighbors; if there were a wedding, wouldn't they hand out candy?"
The people from the Hong Family turned around to scrutinize the corridor of the old building, seeing no sign of any other families preparing for a festive occasion.
The Rolls-Royce stopped out front of the building, and when the door opened, a middle-aged man in a black coat, with a buzzcut and an indifferent gaze—a gaze that was clearly full of authority—stepped out. He looked toward the group surrounding Hong Xiaofei, and his eyes suddenly changed as he ran toward Long Xiaoshan who was standing beside Hong Xiaofei.
"Long…" He was about to speak when a voice penetrated his mind, "Don't call me Dragon Head."
The middle-aged man abruptly altered the words that were about to slip out, "Young Master Long!"
As he spoke, he felt even more astonished; the voice had actually sounded directly in his mind, making Long Xiaoshan's abilities seem all the more mysterious and unfathomable.
"President Gao, you're too polite, just calling me by my name is fine," said Long Xiaoshan with a slight smile.
"Far from it, Young Master Long, with time being so tight, I was only able to gather 88 wedding cars. You said the auspicious hour is almost upon us and I really didn't have time to arrange for more vehicles. Some of the cars behind are top-end Mercedes E-Classes and BMW 5 Series, not much more expensive than an Audi A6, I'm terribly sorry," said Gao Xiongfei with genuine fear and trepidation.
"It's enough, you've done well, thank you," replied Long Xiaoshan. He had initially thought that ten or twenty cars would suffice; he hadn't expected Gao Xiongfei to manage to come up with 88. Niu Y County wasn't like Fy County, it was economically underdeveloped, and luxury cars weren't common.
Being able to muster 88 luxury cars in such a short time frame was indeed Gao Xiongfei giving it his all.
"No need, no need, it's my honor to handle matters for Young Master Long," said Gao Xiongfei, relieved to hear Long Xiaoshan was satisfied, with the heavy stone in his heart finally dropping.
The people from the Hong Family all fell silent at the moment Gao Xiongfei ran to Long Xiaoshan and bent over to call him "Young Master Long".
One by one, they were all in disbelief, as if they had seen a ghost.
And Zhao Tingqiang was utterly dumbfounded, followed by big beads of cold sweat breaking out on his forehead, his body trembling.
He had not expected that these top-tier luxury cars were summoned by Long Xiaoshan with just one phone call. From the time he made the call, it had been only about twenty minutes, and with one call, he had practically moved all of the top luxury cars in Niu Y County here—what terrifying power that was.
He had been hopping around in front of such a person just now, even wanting to get aggressive and make bets, demanding the person kneel and crawl through his legs and call him 'grandpa'...
Now, row upon row of luxury cars were arriving one after another, parking by the roadside.
Many imposing figures got out of the cars.
They approached Gao Xiongfei and said, "President Gao, why don't you introduce us? We've long admired the person."
Gao Xiongfei had extensive connections in the county. Today, he had gone to such great lengths to borrow cars, causing such a big commotion, practically borrowing every high-end car in Niu Y County. Naturally, the executives who had lent their cars were curious and wanted to know who had the influence to compel President Gao to borrow cars personally.

Although Gao Xiongfei wouldn't speak about Dragon Head directly, he still let slip some bits of information to a few executives he had a good relationship with.
For ordinary people, it was impossible to know about Long Xiaoshan becoming the Dragon Head of Hechuan City, but these individuals were not ordinary; they had fortunes over a billion and could still get wind from various channels that a truly powerful and mysterious figure had risen in Hechuan City.
Even Zhou Yushan, the wealthiest man in Hechuan, had to fall in line behind him.
Although Gao Xiongfei didn't spell it out, these astute individuals had already made their guesses.
These billionaires had driven over personally.
Just to meet this influential figure.
Gao Xiongfei, with a stiff neck, said, "Young Master Long, they insist on coming over to pay their respects."
Long Xiaoshan waved his hand dismissively, "What's all this paying respects? Since they've come to help today, everyone's a friend, let's all have a drink to celebrate later."
"Young Master Long! Certainly, certainly, I'm Li Xun from Ketai Company, very pleased to meet Young Master Long!"
"Young Master Long! I'm Wang Sheng from Fortune Real Estate, it's an honor to meet you."
...
These executives approached Long Xiaoshan one by one, respectfully shaking his hand and introducing themselves.
Names that were well-known throughout Niu Y County were being mentioned.
Zhao Tingqiang's legs gave out, and he collapsed to the ground.
