Mingyue's face turned red upon hearing this.

Looking at Qin Ye, she said, "Grandpa, what are you talking about..."

"Hahaha, you are actually blushing."

Qin Ye laughed loudly.

Turning to Zhong Pan, he said, "President Zhong, this young man Chen Fang is in high demand, and you've snagged a bargain. As an elder, you should treat him well. If I, this old man, ever hear that you're not treating him right, don't blame me for swooping in."

"Old Master Qin, rest assured. Chen Fang marrying our Qianqian is a blessing for our Zhong Family. I certainly wouldn't want to give him away to anyone else."

Zhong Pan said this quite generously.

"Sister Qianqian, don't listen to my grandpa's nonsense—I wish you both a lifelong union, growing old together."

Qinshi Mingyue clasped Zhong Xiqian's hand, speaking somewhat timidly.

Zhong Xiqian was gracious as well.

Patted the back of Mingyue's hand.

She said, "Chen Fang's success today is also thanks to everyone's support. Rest assured, I, Zhong Xiqian, am not a stingy person. There are some things I won't keep to myself."

This statement was obviously loaded with meaning.

It was also a hint to Mingyue.

She wanted to tell Mingyue that if you also like Chen Fang, I don't mind sharing him with you sometimes.

To be able to make such a statement,

And in such an open and easy manner.

Mingyue now understood why Zhong Xiqian was the final winner.

"Alright, you guys really, bringing up all sorts of nonsense. Since Old Qin has already given a gift, I can't just sit back. Ah Fang, I'm not as lavish as Old Qin, but I'm not stingy either. Yiyi, bring our gift."

It was Ning Gang who broke the awkward silence.

Ning Yi returned to the car.

And took out a box.

Which she then handed to Chen Fang.

However, this box was shaped like a long bar.

Chen Fang opened it and inside was a painting.

As he opened it in front of everyone,

Qin Ye's eyes went wide instantly.

He exclaimed, "A painting by Yu Zhongshen, wow, Old Ning, you do have some treasures in your possession."

The Yu Zhongshen he mentioned,

Is a nationally renowned painter.

His works are rare,

But each one is extremely valuable.

Many people have spent a lot of money trying to get a painting from Yu Zhongshen, but this fellow is quirky, and getting a painting from him is harder than reaching the heavens.

No wonder even Qin Ye's eyes were filled with envy.

Ning Gang, seeing everyone's envious gazes,

Said somewhat proudly, "Ah Fang, this painting is the only decent gift I have, you must treasure it."

"Thank you, Mr. Ning,"

Chen Fang handed the scroll to Zhong Xiqian.

Leading the crowd,

They walked into the banquet hall.

The guests, who were already in the banquet hall,

Got excited when they saw Chen Fang bringing in these two important figures.

After seating them at the central table,

Noise came from the door again.

Pei Shanglian hurried through the crowd.

He found Chen Fang and said, "Ah Fang, Master Fang has come."

"Who? Master Fang?"

Chen Fang was stunned.

Another uninvited old man,

Made Chen Fang quite overwhelmed.

The crowd parted to make a path,

And a lean old man slowly walked into the banquet hall.

Seeing him, Qin Ye paused for a moment,

And then said to Chen Fang, "Good lad, you've only been in Jiangdong Province for a short while, yet you've come to know this old guy too. It seems you really do have a way with elders."

"Old Master Qin, don't tease me. I didn't want to know Master Fang; it was Qianqian,"

Chen Fang explained.

Indeed.

As soon as she saw Elder Fang.

Qianqian greeted him with a cheerful smile.

She grabbed Elder Fang's hand and said, "Elder Fang, how come you're here?"

"Little girl, you're getting married, and I, this old fellow, came to have a drink. What, am I not welcome?"

Fang Zhongshu asked.

Laughing, Qianqian said, "Elder Fang, what are you talking about? You can drink as much as you like, as long as you want to drink, there will be plenty of booze."

Under Qianqian's lead.

Fang Zhongshu was also brought to the table where Qin Ye and Ning Gang were sitting.

Seeing Qin Ye, Fang Zhongshu was also stunned for a moment.

He said, "I said Chen Fang had so much confidence in his actions, it turns out you were backing him up from behind."

Qin Ye laughed heartily.

He said, "Old Fang, you are mistaken. He is in Jiangdong Province, and I didn't help him. I should be the one saying that. Chen Fang was restless even in Jiangdong Province, and after all the trouble, it was you who were causing mischief behind the scenes."

Fang Zhongshu glared.

He said, "Old Qin, you are wrong there. I'm family. Today, I'm here to support Qianqian. If Chen Fang dares to treat Qianqian badly, you see if I won't smack him?"

The hosts and guests were all merry.

Immersed in laughter.

Old Qin acted as the mediator, introducing Fang Zhongshu to Ning Gang, and then introducing Ning Gang to Fang Zhongshu.

Although the two officials were not from the same province,

they had heard of each other's reputations and became acquainted after some exchanges.

"Everyone, look over here!"

Suddenly, there was an exclamation from the crowd.

Many people stood up.

And looked toward the entrance of the banquet hall.

Chen Fang was also drawn by the voice.

He looked up.

And his head swelled.

At the main entrance,

a row of women in cheongsams walked in.

The one at the front was none other than Song Lanre.

Following Song Lanre were Zhao Xixi, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, then Mo Zifei, Su Lu'an, Ye Xiao'e, Lulu, Fang Mei, and Fang Gui—eight women.

All eight women were stunners.

Each one more beautiful than the last,

and each with stunning figures.

Some young men's eyes went wide.

"You're in trouble now,"

Yu Zhengchuan pointed at Chen Fang and mocked.

What were these women here for?

To show off?

Just as Chen Fang was about to greet them,

Zhong Xiqian clutched his arm.

She gave him a slight smile and said, "Let me do it."

"You're going to do it?"

Chen Fang asked in disbelief.

Zhong Xiqian said, "You had connections with them before I met you, and of course I'm not jealous. Besides, I'm the victor here."

Having said that,

she walked boldly toward the group of women.

"Little sister-in-law is something else, facing an epic challenge head on. I'm getting more and more excited about today's wedding,"

Yu Zhengchuan said with narrowed eyes.

Chen Fang hit him on the head.

And asked quietly, "Have you prepared everything I asked for?"

Yu Zhengchuan snapped his fingers.

And said, "Don't worry, can't I handle such a small task?"

Chen Fang nodded.

Just as he was about to declare the wedding banquet started,

Li Xiaodong rushed out from the crowd in a hurry.

He came up to Chen Fang and said, "Boss, Secretary Zhu and Mayor Zhao have arrived."

Yu Zhengchuan was taken aback.

And asked, "Why are they here? I remember we didn't invite them."
