None of them understood what Zheng Feifei meant by her words, all curiously gathered around, and then shock appeared on everyoneâs faces.
Chen Bin, He Zhongwei??
âIsnât he a big star??â
âOu, what do you mean by listing so many celebrities??â
Wang Decai didnât follow the entertainment industry, and out of all the people on the list, he only recognized Chen Bin and He Zhongwei, two actors with extremely high national popularity.
But isnât this nonsense! Would big stars like them come to host my sonâs wedding??
Wang Decai rolled his eyes at Chen Haiou, thinking this woman must be out of her mind. It was one thing to show off usually, but what was she pretending for now!
âEveryone on the list is available to host Xiaogangâs wedding; just pick whichever one you like!â
Chen Haiouâs statement was astonishing, leaving everyone present dumbstruck.
âFeifei, Xiaogang, you guys pick, whichever one you like!â
âAnyway, elder sisterâs husband said heâd pay any amount as long as I can find the person.â
Chen Haiou didnât forget to throw a jab at Wang Decai.
âItâs notâ¦â
âI told you to find a wedding host, not to invite all these big stars!â@@novelbin@@
âAnd besides, are these people even within your reach? If you could really get them, then Iâd accept it, and even if I had to break the bank, Iâd pay for it!â
Wang Decai smirked, not believing for a second that Chen Haiou could actually bring any stars on the list.
âOu, stop messing around.â
âEven if those big stars were willing to come, we couldnât afford them. Iâve heard their appearance fees are in the millions!â
Chen Haiyan also thought this was too outrageous.
However, Wang Xiaogang and Zheng Feifei were tempted. Young people crave face, and having these big stars host their wedding would really shoot their prestige sky-high, turning them into the envy of friends and classmates.
In the future, when others get married, they are bound to mention their wedding, when friends will say: Wang Xiaogang and Zheng Feifeiâs wedding was hosted by so-and-so!
âBig sis, donât worry, you guys donât have to pay a penny, theyâll help out as a favor!â
âXiaogang, Feifei, just pick whoever you like and let me know!â
Chen Haiou reassured her elder sister Chen Haiyan with a comforting word, then gestured to Wang Xiaogang and Zheng Feifei with a pout to make their choice.
âHelp out as a favor?â
âWhy on earth would these big stars help out as a favor??â
âChen Haiou, you must have drunk too much fake booze and arenât sober yet!!â Wang Decai sneered, disbelieving every word Chen Haiou said.
âWang Decai, Iâm showing you respect by calling you brother-in-law!â
âIf it werenât for big sis and Xiaogangâs sake, do you think Iâd bother with this at all!!â
âI pulled strings to invite these stars to bring prestige to your old Wang family, but whether you use them or not is up to you!â
Chen Haiou didnât give Wang Decai any face, snapping at him before huffing and sitting down on a nearby sofa.
âAuntie, donât be upset.â
âMy dad is just shortsighted.â
Wang Xiaogang grinned as he moved close to Chen Haiou and asked softly, âAuntie, can I really choose anyone from that list?â
âDo you think I would joke about something like this?â
Chen Haiou replied casually.
With Yang Hao, CEO of Tianmei Media, behind her, she was brimming with confidence!
âHeh, I knew Auntie you had some serious clout!â
âFeifei, letâs pick our favorite!!â
Wang Xiaogang was overjoyed with the confirmation. The auntie who worked for the Cultural Work Troupe had always been shrouded in mystery, so he was willing to believe that she could indeed get these stars.
Zheng Feifei was half-convinced, half-doubtful. She found her sudden happiness too abrupt, almost unrealistic.
On the other hand, she hoped it was all true. She liked several of the celebrities on the list so much that even just meeting them and taking a photo would excite her for a long time, enough to brag about for quite a while.
Wang Decai pursed his lips and kept silent, thinking to himself, just keep showing off, I want to see how you deal with this in the end!
âAuntie, can Xiong Xiaoyan really host the wedding?â
After looking through the list, Zheng Feifei turned to look at Chen Haiou.
Although Xiong Xiaoyan wasnât the biggest name on the list, she held significant influence among the younger crowd. Her on-screen image was very endearing, appealing to both male and female audiences, with female fans even outnumbering male ones.
Of course, these fans had no idea that Xiong Xiaoyan was a star desperately seeking progress, already developed by Yang Hao into a âmoney cannon,â a cashing machine that could make Yang about a hundred thousand a day, a hard-working and capable employee!
âAs long as theyâre on the list, itâs possible.â
Chen Haiou replied with utter certainty, for the list had been given to her by Yang Hao. If he said it was possible, then there definitely wouldnât be a problem.
âAuntie, then we choose Xiong Xiaoyan!â
Zheng Feifei made her decision on the spot. To her, âBearâ was nothing short of a goddess. If her wedding could be hosted by her, the event would truly be unforgettable.
âNo one knows this âBearâ or whatever.â
âIf we have to choose, it has to be Chen Bin!!â
Wang Decai interjected. Although he thought this whole thing was preposterous, if he had to choose a star from the list, his choice would definitely be Chen Bin, a household name who would really add prestige if he were to host the wedding!
Zheng Feifei selectively ignored her father-in-lawâs comment, and internally retorted: You donât know a thing!
I certainly donât want an old fogey like Chen Bin!
Chen Haiou naturally wouldnât bother with Wang Decai; she nodded at Zheng Feifei, âOkay, then Xiong Xiaoyan it is!â
Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Wang Decai felt somewhat angered and sullenly shrugged, âFine, you decide, since itâs agreed upon that this is volunteering!â
Chen Haiyan then pulled her sister aside and asked in a low voice, âHaiou, can this really work?â
âElder sister, just relax! I wouldnât joke about this kind of thing!â
Chen Haiou reassured her with a confident look and then replied to Yang Haoâs message.
Hengdian Film and Television City.
The set of âBlossoms Bloom and Fadeâ.
Having just finished shooting a scene, Xiong Xiaoyan was resting in her trailer when her agent, Sun Xiao, pulled open the door and got into the vehicle, âBear, we need to coordinate with the crew to free up May 2nd.â
âMay 2nd?â
âI donât think I have any engagements, do I?â Xiong Xiaoyan asked with a puzzled look.
âNo engagements, but this is a favor for the boss.â
âThe bossâs relative is getting married and needs a host. The bride is a fan of yours,â Sun Xiao mentioned with a shrug.
âThe bossâs relative?â
The sharp-witted Xiong Xiaoyanâs eyes immediately lit up. Since reporting her work last time, she hadnât seen the boss and was worried about missing an opportunity to get closer to him!
And now, the opportunity was being handed to her on a silver platter!
âBear, youâre just lucky, I heard that Director Feng submitted the profiles of our companyâs artists, but the bride is your hardcore fan; she likes you!â Sun Xiao added.
âAlright then.â
âSis Xiao, you go and coordinate with the crew later!â
âAlso, should I add the bossâs relative on WeChat now, then connect with them in advance? It seems more sincere that way!â
Since it was a matter concerning the boss, Xiong Xiaoyan naturally took it very seriously.
âFor the WeChat, you have to ask Mr. Yang for it.â
âI donât have it either,â Sun Xiao said, spreading her hands.
âOkay, Iâll send a message to Mr. Yang nowâ¦â
Xiong Xiaoyan opened Mr. Yangâs WeChat chat box. She had actually been sending Yang Hao messages frequently lately, whether greetings or private little photos, but Yang Hao would only occasionally reply with a word or two.
Xiong Xiaoyan, a goddess in many menâs hearts, didnât dare feel the slightest resentmentâit was normal for the boss to be busy!
However, Mr. Yangâs reply this time was surprisingly quick, so much so that Xiong Xiaoyan was a little flabbergasted.
Truly, such preferential treatment came only when doing a task for the boss.
Xiong Xiaoyan quietly reflected in her heart.
Meanwhile, at the Wang family.
Not long after Chen Haiou sent her message to Yang Hao, she received a response: Iâve informed her already, Xiong Xiaoyan will add you on WeChat.
Having received a confirmation from Yang Hao, Chen Haiouâs hanging heart could finally settle. Although she believed Yang Hao wouldnât play a joke on her, there was always the possibility of variables before things were finalized, and she had already spoken so boldly on her side, that if things didnât pan out, Wang Decai would definitely sneer.
As Chen Haiou was about to reply to Yang Hao, she received a friend request.
The nickname was [Little Bear].
Attached message: Hello, Sister Ou, I am Xiong Xiaoyan.
The efficiency is really high!
Chen Haiou silently marveled for a moment, then quickly accepted the friend request.
âAunt, how did it go?â
Seeing Chen Haiou busy messaging, an impatient Wang Xiaogang couldnât help but ask curiously.
âYou all actually believed it!â
âI want to see where sheâs going to conjure up a star from!!â
Wang Decai still wore a disdainful expression, his donkey face stretched long.
However, at that moment, Chen Haiouâs WeChat suddenly rang, indicating an incoming video call.
Chen Haiou was startled by the sudden video notification, as the caller turned out to be [Little Bear], the one she had just accepted as a friend.
She hesitated for a moment before accepting the video call.
âHello Sister Ou, Iâm Xiong Xiaoyan.â
Xiong Xiaoyan waved at the camera with a big smile, mentioning what Yang Hao had told her to call her simply as Sister Ou.
She guessed that the relationship between the two must be quite close; otherwise, the boss wouldnât get involved personally.
Therefore, Xiong Xiaoyan was very polite to Chen Haiou.
Though Chen Haiou was used to big scenes and was excited inside, she maintained a calm exterior.
âSister Ou, Iâm sending this video to discuss the details of the wedding. Actually, I donât have much experience hosting weddings, but whatever requirements you have, just tell me, and Iâll try my best to accommodateâ¦â
Xiong Xiaoyan appeared humble and friendly in the video, with an excellent attitude.
At this point, Wang Xiaogang and Zheng Feifei were both dumbstruck; they naturally recognized Xiong Xiaoyan, and had just been wondering if this event would really happen. In the next moment, the celebrity they had only seen on TV or videos appeared in Auntâs WeChat video.
It just felt too dreamlike!
While Wang Decai didnât recognize Xiong Xiaoyan, he could tell from the conversation that the woman in Chen Haiouâs video was the star his son and future daughter-in-law were keen on.
That meant his own aunt truly managed to invite a big celebrity to host his sonâs wedding!!
The once scornful Wang Decaiâs donkey face was now completely filled with shock!
