I choose a C ranked hero in another world, I was mocked online-Chapter 393: What a Boost to Our Prestige!

Chapter 393: What a Boost to Our Prestige!

When Chen Ye heard about the matter at his second aunt’s house, it was already several days later.

In the director’s office.

Upon hearing his elder brother mention the change in the Wang family’s attitude, Chen Ye just smiled.

He didn’t care about the Wang family at all; he only cared about his second aunt.

"Brother, you delivered my message to Second Aunt, right?" Chen Ye asked. "What did she say?"

In the past few days, Chen Ye had just taken over the sub-bureau, and there were so many things that needed his attention. This had temporarily prevented him from going back to visit his second aunt and other relatives.

Chen Chao thought for a moment and said, "Second Aunt’s opinion is that she respects her children. As long as Tingting is happy, it doesn’t matter if she endures a bit of委屈."

In other words, regarding Chen Ye’s suggestion that Zhang Tingting break up with her boyfriend, Second Aunt did not agree.

Hearing this, Chen Ye nodded.

He could understand Second Aunt’s choice. As parents, as long as they are not eccentric, most of them just want their children to be well.

What’s a little sacrifice for the parents when it comes to the happiness of their children?

Subsequently.

Chen Ye picked up a file on the table.

The photo in it was of Zhang Tingting’s boyfriend, Wang Tao.

Chen Chao also noticed it and immediately asked, "Is this Tingting’s boyfriend? Did you have someone investigate him?"

Chen Ye smiled and said, "With the precedent of Juanzi, now that Tingting is looking for a partner, as her cousin, of course I have to help Second Aunt vet him."

As he spoke, he flipped open the file on Wang Tao.

The information in it was very detailed.

It almost recorded everything about Wang Tao from his birth to the present, such as what primary school, middle school, high school, and university he attended, what he did at school, whether he had been in a relationship, how many times he had checked into hotels as an adult, if he had any criminal records, and even his medical examination reports... all were included.

It could be said that with this file, Wang Tao was completely exposed, with no secrets left.

This file was not easy to come by!

Ordinary people could never dream of it.

Yet, with just a phone call, Chen Ye obtained it...

Chen Ye skimmed through it.

Overall, the boyfriend his cousin Tingting had chosen was not bad. His social circle was relatively clean, and he had no health issues. He did have a girlfriend in college, which was quite normal!

Nowadays, young people dating is not a heinous crime.

Even Chen Ye, who used to be so poor, had dated two people before!

Of course, those two partners eventually left him, fearing that he would be a burden to them...

After reading the file.

Chen Ye casually tossed it onto the table and said, "Now the groom’s side is eager to settle things, right? Wait until they have set a date and then let me know."

Chen Chao nodded and, out of curiosity, picked up Wang Tao’s file to take a look.

Then, he broke into a cold sweat: "This file... it’s just too detailed! The more advanced the technology, the fewer secrets humans have!"

...

With Chen Ye’s approval.

The matter of Zhang Tingting and her boyfriend was settled very smoothly.

Soon, the two of them set a date and prepared to get engaged.

The engagement banquet was naturally organized by the groom’s side.

In order not to lose face, the Wang couple this time really put their pride on the line. On the day of the engagement banquet, they invited quite a few big shots, even their immediate superior.

What was supposed to be just an engagement banquet was made more grand and lively than a wedding banquet.

Second Aunt and Uncle, seeing the dignitaries from the in-laws’ side, who were either directors, bureau chiefs, or at the very least, section chiefs, felt somewhat awkward and uneasy.

They understood that their in-laws were showing off their connections.

On their side, almost all the relatives were poor.

The only one with a bit of influence was Uncle, who had invited the deputy manager of their factory.

But a deputy manager of a processing plant didn’t even have the资格to carry shoes for those officials...

At this moment.

The deputy manager was already a bit regretful for agreeing to attend the engagement banquet.

Because he was not foolish and could naturally see that the groom’s side was still subtly competing. While the bride’s side was just honest and simple people.

The two sides were not on the same level at all.

He had come to stir up trouble. Forget about expanding his connections; it would be good if he didn’t offend anyone.

After all, he was considered part of the bride’s side...

So.

The deputy manager simply kept his head down, playing with his phone, deciding to slip away quietly as soon as the banquet was over.

Not to mention Second Aunt and Uncle.

Even Chen’s father and mother felt a bit uneasy seeing so many officials.

Although their son had given them a lot of money, allowing them to not only pay off their debts but also have some savings, and the two old people no longer had to work at the construction site, and their clothes were much cleaner than before...

Even so, compared with those officials who were well-fed and had big bellies, they were still just country bumpkins.

Among the bride’s relatives.

Only Chen Chao was calmly watching the show.

Seemingly noticing the embarrassment of Second Aunt’s family, Chen Chao sighed and finally comforted them, "Second Aunt, Uncle, don’t worry. Once Xiaoye arrives, he will definitely boost your prestige!"

"Don’t look at how these people are making a big fuss. If they can resist flattering later, I’ll be impressed!"

Second Aunt’s face was full of embarrassment, and she nodded absentmindedly.

Obviously, she took Chen Chao’s words as a joke.

It was Uncle who was a bit more serious and asked, "Xiao Chao! Can Xiaoye really invite important guests? We don’t want to bully people with our power. We just don’t want to lose face."

Uncle, being a man, knew more and was aware that his daughter’s gambler husband was not right.

He had heard that Chen Ye had taken action to deal with him and sent him to jail, but he actually didn’t quite believe it.

After all, Chen Ye was still a good-for-nothing vegetable a year ago. Could he have turned around and become a big shot in just over a year?

Even movies wouldn’t dare to plot it like this!

If it weren’t for the fact that he really didn’t have such an impressive relative, he definitely wouldn’t believe what Chen Chao said.

After thinking for a moment, Uncle added, "It’s not a big deal if we lose face. I’m just afraid that after Naan gets married, she won’t be able to hold her head up high..."

Naan is Zhang Tingting’s nickname.

Although Uncle’s experience was limited, he still understood.

At this moment.

The banquet hall manager, in charge of the event, suddenly walked over and asked, "Excuse me, the banquet is about to start. Should we serve the dishes at these two main tables?"

This question made Second Aunt’s family extremely embarrassed.

Previously, they had believed Chen Chao’s words that Chen Ye would bring many important people, so they had reserved two main tables on the bride’s side.

Now it was awkward...

They understood that the banquet hall manager was being considerate.

If no one came to sit, and the two empty tables were filled with dishes and wine, today’s engagement banquet might end up on the hot search list.

Embarrassment on a national scale!

Chen Chao was about to speak.

Suddenly.

The door to the banquet hall was pushed open.

A group of people, chatting and laughing, walked in.

Chen Ye was among them, and he was standing right in the middle.

On Chen Ye’s side were middle-aged and elderly people, and their faces looked very familiar...

"Th-That’s... Secretary Li?"

"Mayor Zhao is here too?"

When Chen Ye and his group entered the banquet hall, they immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

Then.

The officials invited by the groom, who had been sitting upright and proud, immediately became hunched and shrank in stature when they saw the real big shots arrive.

Moreover, none of them dared to stay seated anymore. They all stood up, left their seats, and rushed over in a line, bowing and flattering non-stop.

Especially the immediate superior of Wang Tao’s parents, who at this moment would have loved to turn into a dog to lick the shoes of the big shots, hoping that the big shots would give him a glance...

As for Wang Tao’s parents, they were already stunned.

That’s right.

Chen Ye had invited quite a few big shots from the provincial and municipal levels.

He felt that since the groom’s parents were both part of the system, inviting these big shots to grace the occasion would have a great effect.

And the big shots, facing Chen Ye’s invitation, were very considerate and showed up in person.

After all, as big shots, they had more access to information and knew about Chen Ye’s strength. He was even registered at the higher levels.

Currently just the director of a sub-bureau, he definitely wouldn’t stop here in the future.

It would certainly do no harm to be on good terms with Chen Ye...

At this moment.

Not only was the groom’s side in an uproar.

The bride’s side was not much better off.

Watching their son chatting and laughing with the big shots, Chen’s father and mother could hardly believe their eyes.

For ordinary people like them, the only way to see these big figures was probably through television!

Even if they encountered them in reality, they couldn’t get close.

And now, their son was chatting and laughing with these big shots as if they were old friends...

Chen’s father and mother were stunned.

Second Aunt and Uncle were stunned as well.

The only one who wasn’t stunned was the deputy.

After the initial shock, he quickly came to his senses, his eyes eager as if seeing his first love.

Unfortunately, the big shots didn’t notice him...

The deputy was not willing to give up. He quietly moved to Uncle’s side and couldn’t help but complain, "I say, Old Zhang! With such an impressive nephew, why did you bring me here?"

Uncle was bewildered and didn’t know what to say.

The deputy continued, "When we get back, you must introduce me to your nephew!"

After the big shots had all taken their seats.

The engagement banquet officially began...

It was evident that Zhang Tingting’s face was full of smiles.

In fact.

She had seen everything that had just happened, including the turnaround after the big shots entered.

Although Zhang Tingting was innocent, she was not a silly girl who knew nothing.

Any one of those big shots could easily outshine all the connections on her boyfriend’s side.

Not to mention that her cousin had invited two whole tables’ worth!!

At this moment, looking at Chen Ye, Zhang Tingting’s eyes were filled with pleasant surprise.

She could never have dreamed that her cousin Chen Ye would be so capable!

Suddenly.

Zhang Tingting thought of her gambling-addicted brother-in-law.

She had suspected it before, but since her family didn’t have such impressive relatives, she had attributed it to her sister’s good luck.

Now she finally understood that it was her cousin Chen Ye who had been helping behind the scenes...

The engagement banquet was very lively.

Even big shots from the province were invited, making the engagement banquet between the Wangs and the Zhangs a great success.

However, the smiles on the faces of the Wang couple were a bit forced.

Thinking of their past behavior, the two of them truly regretted it to the point of wishing they could take it all back.

Fortunately, having mixed in the system for so many years, the two had thick enough skin.

During the engagement ceremony, when the two sides exchanged their betrothal promises, the Wang couple immediately warmly took hold of Second Aunt and Uncle, showering them with kind words and repeatedly assuring them that if Wang Tao ever dared to treat Zhang Tingting poorly in the future, they would take care of it without the in-laws having to say a word!!

Hearing this, Wang Tao dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction and could only keep smiling...

With so many big shots present, it quickly caught the attention of the leadership team in Rongcheng.

Then, the top leaders and other standing committee members from the local area all arrived...

It was getting more and more lively.

When there weren’t enough tables, more were added immediately!

The hotel’s manager and owner had already been alerted and wanted to waive the bill for the engagement banquet.

But the Wang couple pushed them back!

Who do you think you are to waive the bill?

At this moment, the Wang couple even regretted choosing this hotel for the engagement banquet.

Although the hotel was of decent caliber, it still didn’t match the status of those big shots.

The big shots were all very busy.

They had come all this way entirely to give Chen Ye face.

So, they only stayed for a while, and after the engagement ceremony ended, they set off to return.

Once the big shots left, everyone visibly relaxed.

Then.

The leaders who had been invited by the Wang family came over one after another to toast the bride’s parents.

As for the Wang couple, they were naturally neglected.

In fact.

The leaders really wanted to toast Chen Ye.

Anyone who could chat and laugh with the big shots from the province knew he was no ordinary person.

However, since they had never met Chen Ye, they didn’t dare to approach him rashly, fearing they might say something wrong and offend the big shot.

In the system, sometimes, saying the wrong thing could be as fatal as taking the wrong side...

"Brother, Wang Tao and I have come to toast you," said Zhang Tingting, pulling her now-fiancé Wang Tao to Chen Ye’s side and respectfully saying, "Thank you for coming."

Chen Ye smiled and said, "You were so clingy to me when you were little. Why are you being so formal now?"

Hearing this, Zhang Tingting immediately showed a happy smile.

Wang Tao timely added, "Cousin, I’ll toast you too!"

Chen Ye’s attitude towards Wang Tao was indifferent, and he only took a small sip.

Wang Tao, however, didn’t dare to do that and drank it all in one go.

After Wang Tao finished drinking, Chen Ye said, "Wang Tao, I have many cousins, but Tingting is the closest to me. I hope you will treat her well. Do you understand what I mean?"

Wang Tao was a quick-witted person and immediately slapped his chest as if making a military pledge: "Cousin, rest assured. In the future, wherever Tingting tells me to go, I will never dare to go the other way!"

Chen Ye nodded and didn’t say anything more.

Wang Tao also sensibly pulled Zhang Tingting away.

After all, this big shot was Tingting’s cousin, and there would be plenty of opportunities to get close in the future...

When the time came to the afternoon.

The engagement banquet officially ended.

The many guests dispersed one after another.

Second Aunt and Uncle were flushed from drinking.

Especially Uncle, who could hardly speak clearly.

There were just too many people toasting him.

Today was also the day Uncle felt the most prestigious...

That nephew was really a great source of pride.
