Chapter 1472: Conversing with scholars, guests seated by table! (Celebrating the 76th Alliance Hierarch, Xingchen Ya Dahai)
The banquet begins.
The villagers sit at the tables, discussing eagerly!
"Someone noteworthy has emerged from our Nanshan Village, it's been years, and now even the president is coming to our village!"
"Yes, the Chen Family really has ancestral virtues accumulated."
An old man burped after drinking: "Last year during Qingming Festival, when we were burning paper, I saw green smoke coming from old Chen Family's ancestral grave! I thought I was seeing things, but it seems there's quite a bit of green smoke now!"
Everyone heard this and, rather than laughing it off, they left half-believing.
"Tsk tsk tsk, the standard at this table isn't low, two bottles of vintage Baifen per table, sea cucumber porridge, abalone rice, Chunghwa cigarettes, delicacies from land and sea—I've never enjoyed such treatment in my life!" a villager couldn't help but say.
"Yes, young Chen is quite something, some people become impressive and look down on us common folk."
Such a character emerging from Nanshan Village is the talk of the town among villagers.
The village has its own brawls, forming cliques is unavoidable.
But this time, everyone set aside prejudices to attend the Chen Family's wedding.
From today onwards, the most esteemed person in Nanshan Village is definitely that usually booze-loving, bragging but warm-hearted Chen Dahai!
There's no choice, his son is truly impressive!
At the banquet table, these villagers were raising their glasses, drinking heartily.
Upon learning about Chen Cang's wedding, village heads and branch secretaries from neighboring villages all rushed over, gifting money envelopes.
After Chen Cang finished the ceremony, changed forms of address, and received the red envelopes, Qin Yue went to change into the toast outfit.
The pavilion set up by Qi Xiangzheng was large, able to accommodate more than thirty banquet tables at once!
A dozen chefs were bustling and busy.
Not a single one slacking off.
No one can afford to lose face!
Before long, many township leaders and entrepreneurs arrived!
After all, if they didn't know about such an event now, it would really show a lack of awareness.
Quite a large number of leaders from Jinyang City came!
The sudden departures of these people left the bride's father, Bearded Man, in a hurry.
Dignity is certainly gone!
The leaders all left from his son's wedding scene.
Without eating, should he pack up all these 3000-a-table banquets and take them back home?
Watching the guests in the VIP lounge leave hurriedly, Bearded Man was frustrated.
Gradually...
Many business friends also came over to say goodbye.
"Old Hu, we'll be leaving first, no matter how, we have to make a trip to Nanshan!"
Bearded Man smiled: "No problem, I understand, go ahead go ahead! Be safe!"
"Leaving now, Old Hu, you get busy, lots of friends today, I won't add to the chaos!"
"Yes, Old Hu, let's have a good drink another day, today you're busy with business, can't really drink!"
"Right, let's play cards next time."
While talking, they found excuses to leave quickly.
Once outside, they drove away, all heading in the same direction, everyone knowing in tacit understanding!
So many leaders, they simply want to show their face.
After all, they're fellow villagers with Chen Cang.
No harm in that.
Bearded Man looked at everyone leaving, somewhat helpless, wanting to be angry... but this kind of thing is virtually impossible to be mad about.
Because when looking at it from the heart, anyone would do the same.
Hu Jie hurriedly came over at this time.
"Dad, where are they?"
Bearded Man was taken aback, casually found an excuse to brush him off: "There's a little matter, all left, you go toast first, entertain the showbiz friends well."
After that, Bearded Man called over the secretary, speaking to Hu Jie.
"Handle things well here, I'm going out for a bit, will be back soon!"
Hmm!
Bearded Man thought, his operation should be perfect. The most up-to-date version is on MVLEMPYR.
Hu Jie was stunned, face changing color!
What the heck is this situation!
...
...
At this moment, at Nanshan Village entrance, a group of leaders from the city were standing there.
"Director Zhang, why aren't you going in?"
"Director Li came!"
"And old Zhao, you all came? Why not go inside?"
"Where's the space for it? Just look, Deputy Mayor Yang is over there waiting for the next round, this round it's Professor Chen offering toast, who'd want to leave!"
Hearing this, that person sighed.
"Alright, stop sighing, just look, what kind of distinguished folks are up ahead, you're sighing..."
"See that? That table is for ministerial-level leaders!
Beside it, there are academicians from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, next to them are academicians from the Academy of Engineering, and over there, those are hospital directors of vice-ministerial level...
And there, all are Changjiang Scholars, there…yes, members of the Millions of Talent Scheme!"
"Over there is the boss table, worth less than a billion, don't even have a chair! Leading it is Dongyang's richest man, Mr. Zheng, beside him is…"
"That table is for international friends, all AATS association members, only over a thousand people worldwide."
"This side houses World Society of Digestive Surgery members, all from Professor Chen's old base!"
"Even fiercer ones, see them? There's the Vice President of Pakistan, and Foreign Ministry..."
Listening to the descriptions, everyone fell silent!
Line up then, line up!
What's the point of comparing with those folks!
Lining up is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation.
Over thirty tables, Chen Cang toasted each one.
Everyone was quite accommodating!
Except for a few familiar ones, like various ministers daring to say: "Chen Cang must drink more, such a great day, you have to drink!"
Others, more prudent, could only say: "Congratulations Professor Chen, I finish my drink, you do as you please!"
Still, Chen Cang was quite happy, drinking heartily with everyone.
And at this moment, those with the most complicated feelings were the classmates.
Frankly, Chen Cang was from the countryside during high school, compared to them from Jinyang City, he was inherently at a disadvantage.
Definitely fell short of them in many aspects.
But now.
Who's impressive?
Who isn't impressive?
Looking at the scene, who could say, Chen Cang's not as good as me?!
No one!
Some things aren't bragged into existence.
They're genuine.
Bearded Man later rushed over hurriedly too.
Surrounding people saw Bearded Man arrive, immediately stunned: "Old Hu, aren't you busy with your son's wedding? Why are you here?!"
Bearded Man couldn't help but laugh: "This remarkable person coming from our Jinyang City, I'm planning to establish a Chen Cang Scholarship, to encourage Jinyang's children to study diligently!"
