Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints-Chapter 142 - 129: Wedding Kidnapping

Yu Shishi took out a palm-sized red envelope from her bag and placed it on the table.

"Pfft..." Zhang Bin and the others couldn’t help but laugh, and even the uncle in charge of registration joined in the laughter.

Chen He: "Yang Chen, how much did you give? Among brothers, at least let me lend you some if you’re going through a hard time. We all gave at least 5000, and you gave so little. Others might think we’re trying to embarrass you."

Wang Xiang: "I brought some money. Take back this red envelope that hasn’t even started preschool. I’ll lend you 5000 to make it up, and you can pay me back later."

Yang Chen replied with a smile: "Thank you, brothers. I think the amount doesn’t matter in gift-giving, as long as it expresses your heart. If your situation is better, give more; if not, give less. Even if it’s less, it’s the thought that counts."

Zhang Bin: "What you’re saying is true, but this is too little. I suspect a stack of 100 bills would be thicker than this. You can’t give too little either; if Wang Jun doesn’t accept what we’ve given, we can’t take back over 4900, can we?"

Yang Chen didn’t want to make things awkward with these classmates, but Yu Shishi had no such concerns.

However, Yu Shishi simply opened the red envelope, took out a check for 66666, and placed it on the table.

The uncle in charge of registration, seeing so many numbers, was instantly shocked and widened his eyes.

Zhang Bin and the others were also too stunned to speak when they saw all those sixes.

Yang Chen said with a smile: "As I’ve said, the amount isn’t important; it’s about expressing your intentions. A small gift may carry a deep sentiment."

The uncle in charge of registration laughed heartily, saying: "Well said, well said. Wang Jun isn’t wasting his time; each classmate is more impressive than the next. Yang Chen, right?"

Yang Chen smiled and nodded.

Darn, he pulled it off.

Zhang Bin and the others, with their manager and supervisor titles, kept saying ’brother,’ yet they only gave 5000 yuan.

Yang Chen, a ride-hailing driver, didn’t go on and on about brotherhood, yet gave a gift of 66666. The contrast was striking.

Alright, Zhang Bin and the others finally realized Yang Chen’s remark about a small gift with deep sentiment wasn’t about himself; it was about them.

Yang Chen said with a smile: "Let’s go, have a chat over there."

Zhang Bin and the others dumbfoundedly nodded.

Yang Chen and Yu Shishi walked while admiring the flowers and wedding photos at the venue.

Zhang Bin and the others whispered behind them.

"Gosh! This guy can really put on an act. He’s just a ride-hailing driver, yet suddenly gives over sixty thousand. One might think he’s a big boss," Zhang Bin said resentfully.

If Yang Chen were a company boss, they wouldn’t have any issue with the amount he gave.

The issue was that Yang Chen was a ride-hailing driver, giving so much money, making them as managers and supervisors look bad.

Chen He: "Makes it seem like his relationship with Wang Jun is better than ours, showing off!"

Wang Xiang: "Just pretending to be wealthy, giving away over sixty thousand means working for free for half a year. There’s a saying: the more someone lacks something, the more they show it off. He’s worried we’d ridicule him for being a driver, so he gave so much to prevent that. But it’s unnecessary, we’re not like that."

Heh heh...

If it weren’t for what they said earlier, one might believe they weren’t intentionally showing off.

But it doesn’t matter.

Yang Chen prepared the gift money early, not as a show-off, nor to embarrass Zhang Bin and the others.

The reason for giving such a significant gift was twofold.

First, Yang Chen now had money.

Second, Yang Chen and Wang Jun were best buddies in high school, so when your buddy from basketball back then gets married, wouldn’t you be a bit more generous?

After all, youth is priceless.

You could say this money was for Wang Jun, but really, it was a gift for himself, not just for Wang Jun’s wedding.

If Yang Chen agreed to acquire Jinhai Resort in the future, the general manager position would be reserved for Wang Jun, putting him at ease.

Wang Jun would surely earn this money back for him.

Zhang Bin and the others wanted to avoid Yang Chen, feeling embarrassed about the gift money.

Pretending to be superior but getting humbled, they sure weren’t happy.

No worries, you don’t need a lot of friends; having one you can talk to is enough.

So, what they thought didn’t matter; Yang Chen didn’t care.

At ten o’clock.

The wedding car arrived.

It was indeed frugally arranged; apart from the car to pick up the bride, there was only a videographer’s car following.

Luckily it’s in a big city like Hai City; if it were in some rural area, this scale of wedding convoy would’ve been blocked by people asking for cigarettes along the way, preventing their return.

Yang Chen hurriedly took Yu Shishi over to see the commotion.

Wang Jun got out of the car first and then invited the bride, Xiaojing, to get out.

Wang Jun’s mother came over to give a small gift, and only then did Xiaojing get out.

Though guests were few, the atmosphere was joyful.

Yang Chen nudged Wang Jun to bump into Xiaojing, then said: "Kiss her!"

Xiaojing recognized Yang Chen as the one who left with Wang Jun the night she got drunk.

Wang Jun laughed heartily and turned to give Xiaojing a kiss.

According to wedding traditions, it was more outrageous that brothers could step up and kiss the bride on the cheek.

But with new-age rules, such impolite behavior is unnecessary; watching the bride and groom kiss is enough.

Zhang Bin and the others joined in the fun, and everyone happily escorted the newlyweds to the emcee.
