I'll Let the Whole World Witness This Wedding

Nothing happened that night.

The next day, Lu Yuan and Wang Meiqi had a simple breakfast, after which Lu Yuan suggested, "Honey, let's go take some wedding photos in a little while!"

"Mm-hmm. Honey, I'll leave the arrangements to you." Wang Meiqi nodded obediently.

Twenty minutes later, the wedding photographer was also dazzled. The man was young and handsome; even his breathing made her heart race. The woman was beautiful too, so beautiful that the photographer felt somewhat inferior.

She had been considered a campus belle in college and had worked as a flight attendant, so she counted as a beauty herself. But compared with Wang Meiqi, she still felt inferior.

"Groom! Pick up the bride. Bride, wrap your arms around the groom's neck and kiss him on the cheek. Now give me a sweet smile!"

"Yes, yes, that's it! That's exactly the feeling we want."

Lu Yuan held Wang Meiqi in his arms, feeling the soft moisture of her red lips against his cheek, her pleasant scent, and the softness wherever their bodies touched. The sensation made his heart race.

As for the wedding dress, though, Lu Yuan felt it was missing something.

Lu Yuan silently said to himself, System, use Tycoon Critical Hit!

[Ding! You touched a wedding dress and successfully used Tycoon Critical Hit on it.]

[Congratulations, you have received a critical hit reward: a diamond wedding dress worth 65 million, currently the most expensive wedding dress in the world.]

[The wedding dress has automatically been stored at the host's suburban villa.]

The most expensive in the world? Not bad. Only a wedding dress like that was worthy of my wife.

After the wedding photos, Lu Yuan took Wang Meiqi to a gold shop. He planned to buy his wife some gold and silver jewelry to further enhance her elegance on their wedding day.

This was the largest and best-known gold shop in Magic City. It had everything from pendants and necklaces to bracelets.

"Hello, sir. What can I help you with?" A long-legged greeter in formal attire approached Lu Yuan and Wang Meiqi with a polite expression.

After thinking it over, Lu Yuan said to her, "Pick out a pair of pure gold pendants for me. I want the most expensive ones in your shop. We'll wear them at our wedding tomorrow."

"Sir, the most expensive gold pendants in our shop are also our shop's prized treasures. The pair costs 200 million, and once they're taken out of the packaging, you have to pay for them. Are you sure?" the greeter asked.

Lu Yuan said quietly, "Two hundred million? Not expensive. Bring them over!"

The greeter breathed a small sigh of relief and asked, "Then, sir, how many installments would you like to pay in?"

Lu Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Do I need installments for 200 million? It's only that much. I'll pay in full by card, so go get them!"

Lu Yuan skillfully inserted his bank card into the POS terminal on the counter, and an announcement rang out through the gold shop's hall:

"Card payment successful. Amount charged: 200 million yuan exactly!"

"UnionPay system has received 200 million yuan exactly!"

Hiss! Gasps rang out one after another.

The expression on everyone's face seemed frozen in time at that moment.

The greeter who had suggested installments stared at Lu Yuan in disbelief. She hadn't expected that, despite his extremely low-key clothes, he would pay the full 200 million without even blinking...

What had Lu Yuan just said? He'd said 200 million was only that much?!

Uh, everyone felt that Lu Yuan had completely changed their understanding of money. Could 200 million really be spoken of so casually?

Seeing everyone's stunned expressions, Lu Yuan couldn't help coughing awkwardly. "Um, could you bring out the pure gold pendants I asked for now?"

Lu Yuan's cough brought everyone back to reality. The saleswomen all rushed to get the pure gold pendants, hoping to earn a commission on the huge sale. If the commission on the 200-million-yuan pendants went to one of them, she would never have to worry again for the rest of her life.

Before long, an exquisite gift box was presented. As it opened, the golden light of the pendants instantly illuminated the entire gold shop.

"Sir! These pendants can be engraved. Is there anything you'd like engraved on them?" someone from the gold shop asked.

After thinking it over, Lu Yuan said, "Just engrave my name and my wife's. I'm Lu Yuan, and my wife is Wang Meiqi."

"Certainly, sir. Please wait a moment."

Their names were quickly engraved, and under a sea of envious and jealous gazes, Lu Yuan and Wang Meiqi put the gold pendants, each worth 100 million, around their necks.

A thought stirred in Lu Yuan's mind. System! Use Tycoon Critical Hit again.

[You touched a gold pendant and triggered a Tycoon Critical Hit reward!]

[Congratulations, you have received 100 million tons of gold. The gold has been deposited in the form of gold bars at major banks across the country.]

[If the host wishes to withdraw these gold bars, you need only visit any bank and use an iris scan to unlock them.]

A hundred million tons of gold bars. Before this, Lu Yuan had only seen gold bars on television when corrupt officials had their assets seized. But those had all been props, while his gold bars were the real thing.

If 100 million tons of gold bars were piled together, wouldn't the visual impact be powerful and thrilling?

From what Lu Yuan had followed in previous years, a ton of gold was worth about 230 million. For 100 million tons, Lu Yuan could no longer imagine what figure it would be worth; he would probably need a calculator to work it out.

Lu Yuan also took Wang Meiqi to buy a pile of other things.

That evening, Lu Yuan sent a WeChat message to the person in charge at Marriott Hotel headquarters: "I'm holding a wedding tomorrow. I want the whole world to witness this romance. Can you make that happen?"

Soon, WeChat chimed with a reply: "Rest assured, Chairman. Our Marriott Hotel Group has hotels in every corner of the world. Tomorrow, as soon as your wedding begins, I guarantee that every Marriott in the world will broadcast it live. At the same time, the world's top financial groups and regional powerhouses will all be invited to attend your wedding."

After giving his instructions to the Marriott Hotel, Lu Yuan also had a ship prepared at his private island to serve as their bridal chamber on the wedding day.

Once almost everything was taken care of, Lu Yuan called Bank President Ma at Sichuan Pepper Bank. The man's face was full of respect. "Chairman Lu, what banking business would you like to conduct?"

Lu Yuan said to him, "Whatever it takes, I want to see ten trillion in cash delivered to the presidential suite at the Marriott Hotel by nine tomorrow morning. If you can't do it, you'll no longer be president of Sichuan Pepper Bank in Magic City."

Bank President Ma was startled. "Uh, C-Chairman Lu, this is the age of electronic payments. W-why are you withdrawing so much cash? Ten trillion is no small sum..."

Hearing this, Lu Yuan answered truthfully, "At tomorrow's wedding, counting the children in both my relatives' and my wife's relatives' families, I need to give them all red envelopes. I want to use ten trillion to fill the red envelopes for them!"

What?! Ten trillion just to fill red envelopes for other people? Did Chairman Lu have so much money he didn't know where to spend it?

Bank President Ma fell silent at once, utterly astounded. Only after taking several fast-acting heart pills did he recover.

Lu Yuan grew a little impatient with the wait and pressed him over the phone. "Just tell me whether you can do it. Don't worry, as long as you can help me get it done, I'll deposit all my money with your Sichuan Pepper Bank from now on."

"I have five hundred school-district housing communities across the country, and I also own the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, Yida Shopping Mall, and the Marriott Hotel. Many of my businesses will bring in considerable profits at the end of the year, definitely more than ten trillion."

Bank President Ma steeled himself and went all in. "All right! Since Chairman Lu has given me his word, no matter how difficult it is, I'll get it done for you. Just wait for me to deliver the ten trillion in cash tomorrow, Chairman Lu."
