Again, the storm had passed.

By the time it ended, the sky was already bright.

Weighed down by exhaustion, Chen Fang got dressed.

He asked, "Will you come to my wedding?"

Gu Jingshu rolled over and sat up.

She pulled a red envelope from her bag.

She said, "I've been quite busy lately, and I probably can't take many days off, so maybe I won't go. This red envelope is for you."

Chen Fang took it from her.

He weighed it in his hand.

It felt quite thick.

"You can't refuse it; this is just a little something from me."

Gu Jingshu seemed to know he wouldn't want it, so she had laid the groundwork in advance.

Chen Fang hesitated for a moment.

He smiled slightly.

He said, "Alright, I'll accept it."

After saying this,

he kissed Gu Jingshu on the forehead and said, "Today is the weekend. You rest a bit more, I'll have a word with the front desk and tell them not to disturb you."

"Hmm, okay."

Gu Jingshu nodded obediently.

Watching Chen Fang push the door and step out, closing it behind him, finally, the tears brimming in her eyes could no longer be held back and began to flow freely.

Actually, whether Chen Fang was married or not didn't really matter to her.

They didn't work in the same place and only saw each other after a long time.

Moreover, she had always known that Chen Fang was a charming man, surrounded by many women.

Even so, she still felt like the man she held dear had slipped through her fingers.

After returning to Wulan City.

Chen Fang and Zhong Xiqian went to take wedding photos together.

He then personally supervised the decoration of the bridal chamber.

After all, he was getting married soon.

Zhong Xiqian wanted to buy a luxury car for Chen Fang.

Chen Fang didn't accept it.

In the end, they bought a Passat, a model favored by people within the system.

It took a whole ten days to finish all the preparations for the wedding.

Honestly, this period was even more exhausting than a day at work.

As for the wedding guests, Zhong Xiqian had drafted a long list.

Chen Fang's side, however, did not have many people.

Apart from his uncles and aunts, the most important person to invite was Ding Yuan.

Of course, there were also many others who had helped him along the way.

All things considered, there were about two tables' worth of guests.

But Chen Fang still had Zhong Xiqian prepare three tables.

One of these tables was reserved for a few important guests.

Just checking the wedding guest list

had kept Chen Fang and Zhong Xiqian busy all morning.

They had just finished lunch

when something unexpected happened.

The Shiyie Intercontinental Hotel they had originally booked suddenly called Chen Fang to say that they could not provide the reserved wedding hall and offered to compensate them with the previously agreed breach-of-contract fee of 100,000 yuan.

Receiving this call,

Zhong Xiqian was beside herself with distress.

After all, it was just two days before their wedding.

This last-minute hitch meant that the wedding might have to be canceled.

Seeing how frantic Zhong Xiqian was,

Chen Fang held her in his arms and said, "It's okay, I'll go to the hotel shortly and sort this out myself."

"Can you handle it?"

Zhong Xiqian asked worriedly.

Chen Fang playfully tapped her nose and said, "In this world, is there anything your husband can't handle?"

"That's true."

Zhong Xiqian playfully said.

An hour later.

Chen Fang, accompanied by Yu Zhengchuan, walked into the hotel lobby.

They were there to inquire about the cancellation of the wedding hall.

A waiter invited Chen Fang and his companion into the reception room, saying that the lobby manager would be there shortly.

They waited for about fifteen minutes.

A young woman in a hotel uniform gracefully walked in.

The woman was quite beautiful.

And her figure was impressive as well.

But there was an air of arrogance on her face that made her seem aloof.

As she entered,

she went straight to Chen Fang and asked in a cold tone, "Are you Mr. Chen?"

"I am Chen Fang."

Chen Fang replied.

"Hello Mr. Chen, I am Tao Lilan, the Food and Beverage Manager of Shengye Hotel. Due to an error by our staff, there has been a slight inconvenience, and I apologize on behalf of the hotel. Please be patient and wait at home. Within about 48 hours, the compensation will be transferred to your bank account."

Having said that,

Tao Lilan was ready to leave straightaway.

"Wait a second."

Chen Fang suddenly called out.

Tao Lilan turned around and asked, "Mr. Chen, is there anything else?"

"Your hotel really lacks a spirit of commitment. My wedding is the day after tomorrow, and it's during the National Holiday. You think a simple sorry is enough and that my wedding should just be canceled? Do you really think I care about this hundred thousand yuan?"

"So what are you suggesting, Mr. Chen? Do you want more compensation?"

Tao Lilan asked with a snort.

When Chen Fang heard this.

He stood up and said, "Manager Tao, you misunderstand. I came here today just for an explanation. Even if you agreed to my booking now, I would no longer want it."

"Haha, an explanation? What sort of explanation? We've paid the penalty due, what more do you want? It seems to me you're here to extort us."

Tao Lilan said disdainfully.

"How can you speak like that?"

Yu Zhengchuan became angry upon hearing this.

and shouted at Tao Lilan.

Tao Lilan's expression of contempt grew even stronger.

She said, "That's how I speak. If you like it you can listen, if not, you can leave. I didn't invite you here."

Yu Zhengchuan was about to go up to argue further,

but Chen Fang stopped him.

He said, "Then let's call over your President Sun."

"You're joking? Do you think our hotel is just any place? Do you think you can just meet the president whenever you wish? Maybe you should reflect on your own status a bit."

Tao Lilan said with a cold laugh.

Chen Fang nodded.

He said, "Alright, since you don't wish to call him, I will do it myself. A Chuan, call Sun Jiye."

Having heard Chen Fang directly mention the hotel's general manager's name,

and showing no signs of fear in his demeanor.

She said, "Even if President Sun comes today, you won't be able to book the wedding hall. I said this, and you can try if you don't believe me."

About two minutes after Yu Zhengchuan finished his call,

a middle-aged man in a suit rushed in hysterically.

This person was Sun Jiye, the hotel's general manager.

As the Secretary-General of the government office, Chen Fang had dealt with him before, or else he wouldn't have chosen this hotel.

Upon seeing Chen Fang,

Sun Jiye hurried over.

He stretched out his hand and said, "Secretary-General Chen, what brings you here? Xiao Tao, why didn't you serve water to the Secretary-General?"

"President Sun, we wouldn't dare drink your hotel's water, especially when Manager Tao might not be pleased."

Chen Fang hadn't even started to speak,

when Yu Zhengchuan added a sarcastic comment.

After being glared at by Chen Fang, he instantly dared not speak further.

Sun Jiye sensed something was off

and turned to Tao Lilan asking, "Manager Tao, what's the issue? Where have you offended Secretary-General Chen?"
