While everyone was marveling at the Maserati, Zhang, the boss driving a white BMW, was in no mood like the good one he had when he set out in the morning.

A minute ago, he was proud of his newly purchased BMW 3 series, thinking it was quite face-saving to help out Zhu Youcai's friend with a ride.

However, with the arrival of the Maserati, not only was his BMW overshadowed, but it was also given a few hearty slaps.

It felt like he was showing off a piece of silver only for someone nearby to casually pull out a diamond.

He really couldn't understand, if they could get a luxury car like a Maserati, was Zhu Youcai crazy to drag him into this?

What made it even more embarrassing was that everyone seemed to completely forget about him, treating him like he was invisible.

If it had been someone else, it would have been fine, but even Zhu Youcai, who had sought his help earlier, didn't say a word and just hopped into a car.

Watching as the wedding convoy followed the Maserati with the groom inside, Zhang, being ignored by everyone, was indescribably frustrated, unsure whether to follow or not, thinking to himself, what is this about?

Meanwhile, Shi Tong was sitting in the Maserati driven by Chu Ge, feeling incredibly complicated, both ashamed for having doubted Chu Ge earlier and grateful for his heroic assistance, yet full of questions.

"Chu Ge, thank you so much today. I really don't know what to say." Sitting in the comfortable back seat, Shi Tong was at a loss for words but genuinely said.

"Oh, come on, no need for that, just helping you out with a ride, it's nothing big." Chu Ge said with a casual smile.

"Uh... Chu Ge, this car, where did you get it from?" The more nonchalant Chu Ge was, the more puzzled Shi Tong felt, finally unable to contain his curiosity and asked.

"Our boss's car." Knowing Shi Tong would ask, Chu Ge replied with a smile.

"Your boss is pretty good to you, huh? By the way, I forgot to ask you yesterday, which company are you with now?"

"Oh, Tianjiao Group."

Shi Tong was taken aback, as this was a well-known large group in Lidu City, but he still felt it was a bit odd. Even if it was a CEO of one of Tianjiao Group's companies, they might not be willing to buy such an expensive car, no?

After hesitating, Shi Tong tentatively asked, "Tianjiao Group has several companies, are you driving for a general manager?"

"No, I'm driving for the chairman of our group."

This time, Shi Tong was really shocked. He had previously thought that when Chu Ge was driving someone, it was for some small boss, but he had never expected that Chu Ge was directly serving the chairman of Tianjiao Group.

Knowing this, Shi Tong couldn't help but feel a bit self-deprecating, really thinking poorly of Chu Ge before, when in fact, he was just keeping a low profile.

Being a driver for the chairman of Tianjiao Group was certainly something to be proud of.

Moreover, the fact that Chu Ge was able to borrow the Maserati indicated that their chairman had exceptional trust in him.

Yet, when things happened yesterday, he didn't even speak a few words for Chu Ge, instead making him grab an extra chair and sit at another table.

Thinking about this, Shi Tong couldn't help but feel his face burning, apologetically saying, "Chu Ge, I'm really sorry for yesterday, it's just... sigh!"

Looking at Shi Tong's flushed face in the rearview mirror, Chu Ge shook his head with a smile, "Stone, talking about this is pointless now, it wasn't a big deal."

Seeing that Chu Ge held no grudges and there was no hint of reproach, Shi Tong felt even more guilty, and thinking of Zhu Youcai's smug face, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, wondering how two people from the same orphanage could have such a big difference.

In the car, Shi Tong chatted with Chu Ge for a while longer, and finally arrived at the bride's house at the set time. After going through the traditional steps of pulling the door, answering questions, and the father and mother-in-law changing how they addressed him, the bride was carried down from upstairs.

Shi Tong's bride was called Wang Na, a rather pretty girl in a white wedding dress, with a matching princess crown, necklace, earrings, and white gloves. Held in Shi Tong's arms in a princess carry, her face was filled with a happy smile, looking very much like a gentle, dependent bird, full of happiness and bliss.

However, in fact, just ten minutes ago, the happiness on her face had been full of poutiness, and she had even contemplated not going through with the wedding.

After all, hearing about the lead car breaking down halfway on the day of your wedding is not something any bride would be happy about, especially since she is a rather headstrong girl.

It wasn't until she saw the pristine white Maserati from the window and watched Shi Tong step out from it that a smile appeared on her face, and all her unhappiness vanished without a trace.

If it weren't for this Maserati, the process of fetching the bride wouldn't have gone so smoothly, as her family had a bunch of tricks up their sleeves to make things difficult for Shi Tong that hadn't been used yet.

But because of this luxury car, the Wang family allowed Shi Tong to fetch the bride relatively smoothly. After all, being able to get such a car in such a short time is truly commendable, enough to prove he has some capable friends around him.

With a happy smile on her face, Wang Na sat in the Maserati with Shi Tong. After Shi Tong proudly introduced Chu Ge to Wang Na, Chu Ge greeted the bride and then drove them to the hotel where the wedding was to be held.

Upon arrival, Chu Ge parked the car and walked into the banquet hall, where he saw Cao Xu and the others having already found a table and waving at him.

At this table were those who were currently doing well. Seeing Chu Ge come over, except for Zhu Youcai and Guan Rui, the others all greeted him with smiles, appearing more enthusiastic than they had been yesterday.

Of course, it was also because of the Maserati that Chu Ge had driven over in such a short amount of time.

If it were Chu Ge's stubborn temper from when he was younger, he would have surely gone straight to sit with those who weren't doing as well. But now he wouldn't sulk over this trivial matter and simply smiled at everyone before sitting down beside his two close friends, Cao Xu and Liang Jinjiang.

Soon, someone came over to distribute wedding candies and cigarettes. Everyone chatted and laughed, and most of the talk revolved around the Maserati Chu Ge had brought. When they learned that Chu Ge was actually driving the Tianjiao Group chairman's car, their expressions were much the same as Shi Tong's earlier.

As for Zhu Youcai, who was the center of attention yesterday, he was now somewhat neglected.

Zhu Youcai was displeased in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. He could only sit by, smoking and sulking.

At this moment, Lin Fang unintentionally glanced over at the table of the bride's family and suddenly noticed the atmosphere there was very tense. The groom Shi Tong's smile had turned bitter, and Wang Na's father, a burly middle-aged man, had his eyebrows furrowed tightly into a "川" character.

Seeing Shi Tong's direction, Lin Fang remarked at the table, "Look, something seems to have happened again over by Stone."

Hearing Lin Fang say this, Chu Ge and the others also looked over there, and saw Shi Tong looking troubled as he walked towards them.

When Shi Tong arrived at the table, Liang Jinjiang asked with concern, "Stone, what's wrong this time? Could it be something unexpected happened again?"

Shi Tong sighed, full of bitterness and helplessness, nodded angrily, "The wedding host has been arrested and won't be able to make it today."

Lin Fang was taken aback and then asked, "Arrested? What's going on?"

Shi Tong clenched his fist in frustration, "Apparently, it's because they called ******** at a nightclub and the police detained them just now. What kind of situation is this! Why is it so difficult for me, Shi Tong, to get married?"

If this kind of thing happened to a stranger, everyone would definitely laugh it off as a joke, maybe even laugh out loud, but when this kind of thing happens to your friend, it's truly a nerve-wracking and speechless situation.

Lin Fang sympathetically looked at Shi Tong, "Then you should quickly contact the wedding company, right? Hurry and find another host. Your wedding isn't supposed to start until nine eighteen, the time should still be enough."

Shi Tong shook his head, "I've already contacted several companies, but no one can make it. I'm really at my wits' end, I'm asking everyone to please help me, see if you can help find a host."

The one originally supposed to host Shi Tong's wedding was a very reputable host in the industry, someone his wife's family spent a lot of money to invite over, intending to have a grand wedding, but who knew such a sudden change would occur.

Shi Tong was more flustered now than he was earlier. He didn't want to put any pressure on anyone, so he didn't mention his family's high expectations. In his view, even if he couldn't find a top-notch host, settling for someone decent was better than having none at all.

"Oh, I thought it was something big, don't worry, as long as I'm here, this isn't a problem."

Just as everyone was looking at each other, taking phones out of their bags, preparing to figure something out for Shi Tong, Zhu Youcai, who had been somewhat sidelined, smiled casually and took on an all-encompassing demeanor.

At yesterday's gathering, although Zhu Youcai's lies weren't exposed on the spot, he was nonetheless met with suspicion because of his duplicity. He saw this moment as a prime opportunity to rebuild his image and show off in front of everyone, one he certainly wouldn't pass up.

Hearing Zhu Youcai say this, even though Shi Tong felt uncertain, he nodded, "Section Chief Zhu, I'm counting on you."

Amidst a multitude of skeptical glances, Zhu Youcai pulled out his phone and said confidently, "Stone, did you forget what I do for a living? This is just a small matter!"
