Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 234: Banquet

The next day.

Early in the morning, all the bridesmaids had finished applying makeup and dressing Lin Yue in her bridal gown.

In the bridal chamber, Lin Yue wore a bright red cheongsam and adorned her wrist with a jade bracelet gifted by her mother-in-law; her earrings and necklace were also made of jade.

Her headdress featured a jade hairpin in a traditional Chinese style.

Her vibrant red lips, matched with the bright red bridal dress and blush, exceptionally highlighted her classical beauty today, radiating a gentle and devastating charm with every smile and glance.

Upon hearing the arrival of the bridal car in the villa’s courtyard, Lin Yue felt sweet inside, both nervous and full of anticipation for her man.

Gu Feng and his team of groomsmen had to pass three tests and defeat six challenges from the gate to the bridal chamber, finally succeeding in breaking through the bride’s door.

Lin Yue was swept up in a princess carry by Gu Feng, eliciting cheers from the bridesmaids and groomsmen outside.

Her face flushed, and her long eyelashes drooped down, accentuating her gentle and delicate beauty.

Jiang Xue and others took up their cellphones and followed the car all the way to the compound, recording their friend’s beautiful wedding throughout.

The bridal car wasn’t conspicuous, just an ordinary Mercedes sedan, which didn’t attract much attention.

However, the distance from the villa to the compound wasn’t really far, and the route had been blocked off in advance.

At the Military Martial Arts Compound side, about 100 tables had been set up for the banquet.

And guests had begun to enter and take their seats in succession.

In addition to all the power units of the Military Martial Arts Compound itself, people from the compound’s administrative office were also present.

Ye Wei, Nie Yun, Lin Yu, and Xu Dong sat at a table close to where the ceremony was taking place.

Seeing members of the Supercar Club like Liao Fu and Bai Bo arranged at the outermost tables, Lin Yu wondered, "Why are they sitting so far away?"

Nie Yun explained, "The compound has always maintained a strict hierarchy. If Yun and I hadn’t climbed a half-rank by hanging out with Feng, we would probably be sitting out there too."

Lin Yu and Xu Dong nodded in realization, curiously asking, "Mr. Ye, why don’t you and Yun work within the system?"

Ye Wei gave a wry smile and explained, "It’s not that we don’t want to; we just don’t have the resources."

"Let me put it this way, the families that were early on involved with the group generally have hereditary roles. My grandfather passed on the Third Grade position to my eldest uncle, while my father is the fourth son, and our three uncles already have their own children."

"Usually, those family children who excel can mix in the system. If average, they can still get into state-owned enterprises and not starve, but by our generation, there aren’t many positions left to compete for."

"Though state-owned enterprises can support many people, you must understand that this vast compound and the powers of different states also need to support their families. Even though my uncle’s family is the direct line, resources are always first come, first served, and Old Nie and I are like the neglected ones in the family."

Nie Yun added, "Mr. Ye’s description of such family structures is common throughout the compound, so there are many offspring who have nothing vital to do and can only rely on their family backgrounds to idle around outside. Since the incident where Feng straightened us out, everyone has become much more restrained and started engaging in legitimate business by exploiting information asymmetries."

"You may see us as bosses in and out, but here, we are nobodies!"

Lin Yu and Xu Dong nodded in understanding.

Just then, Ye Wei and Nie Yun quickly stood up and pulled Lin Yu and Xu Dong to their feet as well.

They lightly bowed to several middle-aged men who entered.

"Hello, Mr. Gao."

Lin Yu and Xu Dong, like rookies, just followed suit without knowing why.

Once the people had left, Ye Wei explained, "That was an elder from the T1 camp of the group, Second Ranking."

Soon after, more elders passed by their table.

Ye Wei quickly pulled Lin Yu and the others to their feet again.

"This Mr. Bai is Bai Bo’s second uncle, Third Grade."

"The ones who just passed by are also Third Grade."

"Quick, stand up, Hall Master Song’s uncle is coming, and those three following him are his Second Ranking subordinates!"

Goodness, Lin Yu and Xu Dong felt completely numb.

Throughout the event, they never managed to sit still for more than 10 seconds before having to stand up and greet the incoming elders of the compound.

With the introduction from Ye Wei and Nie Yun, they didn’t see anyone below Third Grade!

"Lin Yu, if you want to mix in the system in the future, you’ll probably deal with these elders or their direct descendants. Today is a rare opportunity for you, make sure to handle it well and greet the children of these uncles; they might be your colleagues in the future."

Lin Yu nodded, "Understood, Mr. Ye. I’ll mingle more with the people of my age later."

"Little Wei, when did you come back?"

Just then, a middle-aged man approached, patting Ye Wei’s shoulder affably.

Seeing this elder, Ye Wei quickly greeted him humbly, "Hello, Uncle."

This person was indeed Ye Wei’s uncle, Ye Jixiong, the current decision-maker of the Ye family.

"Are you helping the Young Clan Leader?" Uncle inquired, looking at Ye Wei with satisfaction.

They were all part of the power structure on the side of the Military Martial Arts Compound.

People in Gu Dadong’s group would refer to Gu Feng as ’Young Clan Leader’ or ’Young Master.’

"Yes, Feng asked me to help take care of the bride’s brother’s side of the family," Ye Wei quickly replied.

Ye Jixiong gave Lin Yu and Xu Dong an approving look and even extended his hand to greet them.

Feeling the harmony between Ye Wei and these two, he felt even more pleased.

Ye Wei was somewhat surprised his uncle would approach him for a chat because, in his memory, his uncle rarely interacted so affably with his nephews.

He knew this might be connected to his involvement in Gu Feng’s system.

It meant that he was starting to be valued by his family side.

"Come to the house whenever you have time; Uncle will head over there now." Ye Jixiong again patted Ye Wei’s shoulder affably and walked away with a smile.

As soon as he left, Nie Yun teased Ye Wei, "Look at you, Mr. Ye, gaining influence in the clan!"

Ye Wei coughed lightly.

Inside, he felt a surge of pride for being regarded so highly by his elders.
