Chapter 102: Chapter 102 Who Says We Don’t Have a Fleet?
The man shouted angrily at the woman.
The restaurant owner looked at the man with extreme disdain, almost saying, “You’re really poor.”
“You dare have thoughts about my sister?”
The woman’s mind was quite unusual.
Huh?
When did I ever say that? Although I once had some unrealistic thoughts, I hid them well.
“I’ve known all along that you’re just a jerk.”
The woman was incredibly angry.
“I’m gonna kill you.”
With that said, she fiercely grabbed at the man, her long nails leaving a mark on his face.
“You’re crazy.”
The man was furious and began to fight back.
Chu Chen and Zhou Xingwen didn’t want to waste time here and walked into the restaurant.

The two ate and chatted.
“You’re getting married?”
Chu Chen was utterly surprised.
“Yeah.”
Zhou Xingwen was delighted and nodded, saying,
“I want to ask you to be my best man to help me stand out with your looks. Don’t say no, okay?”
“Nonsense, how could I refuse? If you hadn’t asked me, I’d have blamed you.”
Chu Chen was happy for Old Zhou.
“But there’s one more thing, quite troublesome.”
Chu Chen looked troubled.
“What’s up?” Zhou Xingwen wondered.
“If I’m the best man and all the bridesmaids confess to me, what should I do?”
Chu Chen spoke seriously,
“And the other groomsmen standing with me will feel a lot of pressure.”
Chu Chen said sincerely.
If that really happened on that day and he stole Old Zhou’s thunder, it wouldn’t be good. He had to think about it.
“You’re a jerk.”
Zhou Xingwen couldn’t help but complain.
He wondered what was up. But having known Chu Chen for a long time and having seen plenty of situations where Chu Chen was chased by countless girls because he was too handsome.
Because of this, Chu Chen didn’t have many friends and had to bear Chu Chen’s invisible pressure every day.
At first, he was very envious of Chu Chen, but over time, he got used to it.
As they drank, Zhou Xingwen got a bit drunk. Facing his brother, he no longer hid anything and said a few heartfelt words.
“Ah, Old Chu, you have no idea how much money it costs to get married now.”
Zhou Xingwen had troubles in his heart, and he couldn’t tell his parents or girlfriend, only confide in his brother.
Anyway, after a drink, life had to go on.
“Bride price, house, booking the wedding banquet at a hotel…”
“My girlfriend’s okay, but her parents are really snobbish.”
Zhou Xingwen drank and said,
“To show face and brag in front of relatives and neighbors, they insisted the banquet be booked at a five-star hotel with at least 16 tables and that we use a convoy of luxury cars for the wedding party.”
“I checked, and even at the most basic five-star hotel, it all adds up, and the minimum budget is 200,000.”
This was in Jiangzhou, a second-tier city, not a first-tier city—otherwise, it would be more expensive.
“The wedding convoy should have eight luxury cars, with the cheapest being over a million each, which adds up to several thousand more.”
“Where would I get that kind of money?”
Zhou Xingwen’s family wasn’t wealthy. For his wedding, his parents had used up their life savings to pay the bride price and the down payment for the house.
There was no more money available.
He didn’t have a high diploma, his income was average, and he had only saved thousands, still short by 200,000.
Zhou Xingwen was already desperate.
“Luckily, my girlfriend comforted me, saying a simple wedding would be fine, and even had a big fight with her parents over this, threatening to cut off relations.”
Hearing this, Chu Chen nodded.
Hearing Old Zhou say this, his girlfriend truly loved him!
“As a man, how can I let my girlfriend do that?”
Zhou Xingwen said.
Needless to say, he must be in a lot of pain alongside his parents and girlfriend.
“After all, they are her parents. If we only have a simple wedding, there’s bound to be countless troubles after marriage.”
Saying this, Zhou Xingwen drained his glass.
“Isn’t it just booking a hotel and a convoy?”
Chu Chen spoke up.
“Leave it to me, it’s a small thing.”
By delivering one more day of takeout tomorrow, Xilan International Hotel would be his.
This was Jiangzhou’s renowned luxury hotel, a top five-star, far exceeding the demands of Old Zhou’s in-laws.
With a single call, it wasn’t just one banquet hall—even all the hotel’s banquet halls would be easily available.
As for the car convoy, that was even easier.
The few cars in his garage were all worth over 20 million.
That Rolls-Royce Phantom would be perfect as the lead car, majestic and imposing.
And just get a few more cars from Junlin Group and the convoy would be sorted.
By then, it would absolutely bring Old Zhou face.
He wanted to see what Old Zhou’s snobbish in-laws would say.
Hearing Chu Chen’s words, Old Zhou, who was a little drunk, was stunned.
“Old Chu, I accept your kind offer.”
“Delivering takeout isn’t easy for you either.”
Zhou Xingwen refused.
“You think I deliver takeout for a living? I’m just experiencing life,” Chu Chen explained.
“Old Chu…” Zhou Xingwen still wanted to refuse.
“Are you a brother or not? Leave this small matter to me.”
Chu Chen spoke.
In the end, Zhou Xingwen didn’t continue refusing. He knew Chu Chen’s character.
“Brother, thanks!”
He’d consider it a loan and be sure to repay it several times over when he earned enough.
After drinking for a while longer, Chu Chen and Zhou Xingwen left.
Chu Chen didn’t have much to do, but Old Zhou was a bit tipsy.
Chu Chen supported Old Zhou to the roadside, ready to hail a cab and send Old Zhou home.
However, instead of a car, a middle-aged couple who had just finished shopping appeared.
“Zhou Xingwen?”
Seeing Zhou Xingwen, the middle-aged man frowned.
“What are you doing here, drinking when you should be preparing for the wedding? Zhou Xingwen, you’ve got some nerve.”
The middle-aged woman was even more sarcastic.
“Dad, Mom.”
Upon seeing the couple, Zhou Xingwen immediately greeted them courteously.
“Don’t call me Dad.”
The middle-aged man retorted.
“Right, if you can’t do what we said, don’t think about marrying our daughter.”
The middle-aged woman agreed.
They originally wanted their daughter to marry a rich man. Who knew their daughter would be so foolish and find a poor guy instead.
This made them very angry and extremely dissatisfied with Zhou Xingwen, so they deliberately made things difficult for him.
If he managed to do everything, fine. If he didn’t, ha!
“So, have you booked the five-star hotel?”
“And sorted out the luxury car convoy?”
“Uh…”
Zhou Xingwen sighed and hung his head.
“What, not booked yet?”
At this, the middle-aged woman was instantly furious, shouting at Zhou Xingwen,
“You’re getting married in a few days and haven’t booked the hotel or wedding convoy yet?”
“You useless bum!!!”
Hearing the middle-aged woman’s voice, onlookers couldn’t help but turn to stare.
“Who said we don’t have a convoy?”
A calm voice came through.
