Chapter 23 A Stunningly Luxurious Wedding
Chapter 23 A Stunningly Luxurious Wedding
After Iwan gave Warrior No.1 the call, the two biggest forces in Pasnd City instantly braced
themselves for Iwan''s order. Dawson hastened to call Eden over. Any operation was suspended in
Clevnd Group and all the top executives were called for an urgent meeting in the top conference
room.
As the one in charge of the
biggest underground forces and most of the entertainment industries in this city, Eden ran Mellon
Group, a leading enterprise only second to Clevnd Grou. It involved businesses like amusement
parks, shopping malls, cinemas, Karaoke, night bars, and high-end clubs. But just like Clevnd
Group, Mellon Group suspended all its operations and got all the top executives to rush to
Clevnd Group''s headquarters for the meeting.
When hundreds of top executives from different industries of both groups ended up filling therge
conference room, those elites were greatly shocked since it was extremely rare for the two most
powerful men in this city to attend the same meeting despite the rift between the two of them. So
they all wondered what made it happen.
But what happened next made them even more shocked when the presidents of both groups,
Dawson and Eden, followed a young man respectfully into the conference room. The moment
Warrior No.1 showed up, all the elites were shocked again as a crazy guess that the top two groups
in Pasnd City might have been merged into one popped into their heads. They were so confused
about who the man was.
Even when Warrior No.1 took the seat of honor, both Dawson and Eden showed no discontent.
Instead, the two of them seated themselves at his sides. Instantly, therge conference room which
contained hundreds of people was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.
When all of them took their seats, Warrior No.1 said lightly to Dawson and Eden, "I''ve made it clear
to you and you have to know whether your work is effective isn''t up to me. I''ll repeat it one more
time. There''s a grand wedding to be held on the fifteenth of next month with a budget of at least one
hundred and forty million dors. For this wedding, you need to pick one thousand couples from
hundreds of cities in the Central Region and all their wedding expenses including the catering will
be covered. But make sure all the couples are good-looking enough and exclude any frauds.
There''s only one hour for your discussion. An hourter, make sure the news is made public across
Pasnd City and even the Central Region! Anyway, try to give the wedding a huge build-up. Well,
that''s all the instructions. Then you can start to work on the specific ns for it."
When he finished speaking, he sat there leisurely without any further advice. Although he was
silent, his imposing manner which even permeated the air spoke for itself. He had a great presence
that even overshadowed that of Dawson and Eden just by sitting there casually. As a top
powerhouse in the world, Warrior No.1 was powerful enough to be a peerless force wherever he
was and would only be humble in front of Iwan.
Hearing his words, Dawson and Eden hastened to nod respectfully as all the top executives present
were shocked at the news.
At this point, one of the top executives of Clevnd Group in the middle of the room was bold
enough to stand up suddenly and say to Warrior No.1, "Ex, excuse me, my wedding is scheduled
for next month. So, could I ... could I sign up for it?" Despite his fear of Warrior No.1 who might be
some powerful figure, he still made this bold move to hold a grand wedding for his beloved woman.
"Stop it! Were you allowed to speak? Get out of here!" Upon seeing him, Dawson instantly turned
pale with fear as he hurriedly stood up and snarled. As for that top executive who was quite
handsome, he was so scared that his legs felt weak.
"Mr. Gill, please ... please excuse me for it. I ... I''m getting out of here right now." The man was
extremely scared by the fear in Dawson''s eyes and was about to leave in a hurry.
"Wait," Warrior No.1 who had been silent said at this point.
Dawson was almost scared to death and immediately exined to him, "Mr. Warrior, I''m sorry for
his rashness. Please pass over his stupid remarks."
The way Dawson condescended to plead with Warrior No.1 frightened the man even more. But
Warrior No.1 just waved his hand, saying, "Well, it''s fine. Since he''s handsome enough and we''ve
made no exclusion of insiders from the wedding, they should be given priority over any bonus. So
you don''t have to be so mean to your employees, Mr. Gill. Just include him in it and remember to
allocate more resources to him on the wedding day."
Hearing that, Dawson instantly heaved a sigh of relief and looked back at the man, saying,
"Shouldn''t you thank Mr. Warrior for it?"
The man hurriedly thanked Warrior No.1 who just waved his hand and nodded with a smile. This
incident made the atmosphere electric in the conference room. Among all the top executives
present at the meeting, more than fifty of them nned a wedding for this year. They were greatly
enthusiastic about the idea, so they worked out all the specific ns soon.
An hourter, a statement was issued on Clevnd Group''s and Mellon Group''s official websites.
"The mysterious president schedules a grand wedding at Pasnd Cathedral with a budget of at
least one hundred and forty million dors a monthter, the fifteenth of next month. For this
wedding ceremony, 1314 couples from all the cities of the Central Region will be recruited to hold
the wedding. Each couple included will get a 140 thousand dors sponsorship for the wedding. All
the wedding necessities, including jewelry and wedding outfits, can be purchased autonomously or
provided by Clevnd Group or Mellon Group. No expense will be spared! ces are limited and
volunteers are weed!" After the discussion between Dawson and Eden, they added another
314 couples whose sponsorships would be on the two of them since 1314 was a lucky number that
represented their best wishes for a happy marriage.
Ten minutes after the statement was issued, it was scrolled on all the advertising boards in the city.
Besides, some well-informed people learned soon that Pasnd Cathedral had been booked by the
mysterious president for further decorations.
This uing luxurious wedding scheduled by the mysterious president was a great shock to
everyone in Pasnd City. More than 140 million dors would be used to sponsor 1314 couples''
weddings and each couple would get a 140 thousand dors sponsorship. People couldn''t even
imagine how spectacr this wedding would be. More importantly, the 140 million dors only
meant the sponsorships for those recruited couples and didn''t include other expenses for the
wedding. Given some couple''s rough estimate, this wedding would cost at least one billion dors.
Everyone in Pasnd City was astounded at the news and so were people from more than one
hundred cities in the Central Region several minutester. After all, it was so rare to see one spend
so much money holding a wedding.
Subsequently, all the couples who were to be married from Pasnd City and other cities in the
Central Region began to sign up for it. Any woman would find it too hard to resist the temptation to
share such a grand wedding with this mysterious president with a 140 thousand dors
sponsorship. So the news caused a sensation across the Central Region.
At the same time, the Browns who were still in conversation also saw the news. Krista even
screamed, "Oh my god, what a luxurious wedding!"
Then her eyes rolling, she said acidly as she looked at Jayna with contempt, "Well, Jayna, given
what your boyfriend said just now, this should be the wedding he is going to hold for you, right?
Wow, he must be rich enough to spend one billion on this wedding."
Aware of Krista''s obviously sarcastic tone, Jayna shivered with embarrassment. She felt so helpless
after Iwan''s bragging to her family was immediately followed by the news that some mysterious rich
man scheduled such a luxurious wedding for next month. Thinking of this, she couldn''t even live
with the overwhelming shame. She would never daydream that Iwan would be that mysterious rich
man. It was just pie in the sky since Iwan was too poor to afford a phone himself when she met him
five years ago. So she believed that Iwan couldn''t even have an earthly chance of earning so much
money in only five years.
But the truth was Jayna was wrong this time. If Iwan were here, he would scoff at Jayna''s thoughts
by saying, "I''m the mysterious rich man. Do you have a problem with it?" But it was a shame that he
wasn''t here.
"Enough already! Hasn''t it been humiliating enough? Krista, stop talking about it anymore. Anyway,
Jayna is your family. Why can''t you act like an older sister?" William got angry since Jayna''s affair
humiliated him a lot.
"Dad, please excuse Jayna for what she did. Anyway, Jayna is a member of the Brown family and
she''s having a hard time being a single mother, so could you let her go back to Brown Group?"
Despite his anger, Luis still didn''t have the heart to see his daughter suffer since what was done
was done.

Upon hearing his words, Wilson said acidly, "Luis, thepany has got no spare post. Since so
manypanies are avable in Pasnd City, why does Jayna bother to go back to the family
business? After all, Krista is able enough to handle the business well, right?" Then he took a sip of
tea when he finished speaking.
Skyler was so disgusted at his words and suddenly stood up to talk back to him, "Wilson, don''t go
too far! Since even Warren hasn''tmented on this matter, what are you up to by trying to stop
Jayna from going back to Brown Group? Jayna did make a mistake before, but Luis was right in
saying that she''s a member of the Brown family! How can you hinder Jayna''s return when your
daughter holds a senior position in the group? I''m afraid that maybe your next move is to withdraw
Luis''s shares."
"Aunt Skyler, what do you mean? How can you use me of holding a senior position and ignore
those contracts I''ve won for the group?" Krista was rather displeased with what Skyler said.
"Enough already! Skyler, Krista, stop arguing if you don''t want to annoy Dad. What''s the point of
arguing over the group? If Brady didn''t work in the Military Headquarters, it wouldn''t be up to you to
compete for the family business." At this point, Warren Brown, who had been quiet as the eldest son
of William,mented on their quarrel. As soon as he spoke, the room fell silent instantly.
Among the third-generation Browns, the most promising child was neither Jayna nor Krista, but
Brady Brown who was a majormander in the Military Headquarters. As Brady''s father, Warren
enjoyed a high status in the family. Even William needs to reckon with his words. As everyone knew,
the future development of the Brown Group relied on Brady since power was needed to sustain the
wealth in the society.
When everyone was silent, Warren nced at Jayna surrounded by others, saying, "Jayna, since
you''re a member of the family, it''s eptable if you want to be back to Brown Group or even take
up an important post. But anyway, you''ve humiliated the family before, so you have to make some
contributions to the group, which can also be regarded as a probationary period. Once you finish
the given tasks, you can be a regr employee. What do you think of it?"
Then he nced at Luis. "Luis, how do you like this idea?"
Luis nodded and Jayna also lowered her head as a way of showing her acquiescence. Then William
breathed deeply before saying, "Well, Jayna, a usual period of probation tends tost at least two
months or even half a year. But as a member of the family, you won''t be given a specific period. As
long as you can finish the three tasks, you can be a regr employee even in a month. The
first task is to collect a debt of 280 thousand dors which the Piper family in the south of the city
has defaulted on for three years. The second is to expand three distribution channels for the group''s
newly released products. The third is to pick one of the difficult projects for the group and win the
contract."
When William finished speaking, Luis''s expression instantly changed and he hurriedly said, "Dad,
the three tasks are much too difficult for Jayna."
At this time, Wilson said cynically, "Luis, didn''t Skyler use Krista of holding a senior position?
Since this is how Krista has risen through the ranks to her current position, then why can''t Jayna
make it given that she''s only several months younger than Krista and graduated from one of the top
universities?"
"Wilson, don''t confuse the two different cases. As you know, Jayna hasn''t even worked for one year
since graduation. Then how can sheplete such difficult tasks?" Luis said anxiously.
Jayna looked up at her father, knowing that despite his anger, Luis was still concerned about her,
and so was Skyler. Then she breathed deeply and said to Luis, "Dad, stop it. I promise to try my
best toplete the three tasks, as a way of making up for being responsible for what I did."
Luis looked at Jayna with mixed feelings in his eyes and a gloomy face. "What nonsense you''re
talking! If the three tasks were so easy, s, they would have been long overdue!"
William thought for a while before leaning in to look at Luis and then at Jayna, saying, "Jayna, your
dad is right. The three tasks are indeed difficult for you. Well, since you''re my granddaughter, I''ll
make you a regr employee as long as you can finish one of them. If you can finish two, you can
take up a post as a director. A post of manager will be avable if you can finish three."
After that, he looked at Luis. "Luis, anyway, I won''t be too hard on my granddaughter. Now that I''ve
lowered the standards, do you still have a problem with my idea?"
Luis fell silent. Muchter on, he shook his head, replying, "No, I don''t."
William said to Luis, "You can''t help Jayna with the tasks. Well, forget that. Just help her if you can
be any help. Let''s call it a day and I have to go. As to what to do with Iwan, it''s up to you guys. The
point is not to make the Brown family a joke in Pasnd City again."
When he finished speaking, he sighed deeply, stood up, and left followed by Warren and Wilson.
Only Krista paused and jeered as she walked past Jayna, "Jayna, remember to seek help from me
if the tasks are too difficult for you. But I can help you with nothing other than the second one." Then
she left with a smug smile.
"What the hell makes her so proud of herself? Look at her smug face, which is as disgusting as her
father''s. Without her fiancé''s help, there should have been no way for her to win good contracts for
thepany," Skyler snorted contemptuously as soon as Krista left.
Luis''s face darkened as he said to her, "Skyler, stop it since Jayna just returned."
Skyler was in a moment of anger and continued, "Scram! Why should I stop it? I bitterly regret
having given up the decent life in Cleveque City to suffer here because of your weakness. I can
stand being bullied, but I can''t stand my daughter''s being bullied by your family like you!"
Skyler paused and then continued, "But anyway, unlike Krista who can rely on her fiancé to help her
compete for contracts, Jayna has no one to count on given that you can be no help, let alone that
poor soldier. The most important thing for a woman is to marry a capable man. In my opinion, we''d
better let Jayna marry Lamar, her college ssmate. He''s a much better choice for marriage as a
top executive of Clevnd Group."
Hearing her words, Jayna shivered violently and clenched her fists, her eyes filled with tears, saying
slowly, "Mom, stop it! I will try my best to make it without any help! If I can''t, I won''t regret it!" As she
spoke, her tears rolled down her face.
Jayna wasn''t disposed to go back to Brown Group, but she didn''t want to upset her father again.
Skyler was stunned at Jayna''s words and didn''t say anything else.
At this time, Jayna had made up her mind and said to herself, ''I won''t count on anyone. Never.''
