"I hope the world will remember me forever, even if it's for all eternity, and never forget me..."
"I am a bear!"
I'm worse than a beast!
"I am invincible..."
...
It's hard to imagine the huge sensation it would have caused around the world if this press conference had been broadcast live.
it's a pity!
Fortunately, the reporters at the scene were incredibly excited. Who would have thought they'd catch such a breaking news story? This guy would definitely get a huge bonus, and he'd be famous overnight. Putting aside all the financial rewards and fame, just having the chance to personally experience something so shocking and mind-blowing, something that would undoubtedly cause a global sensation, was worth it all!
Compared to this, fame, money, status... are all fleeting!
However, what they faced next was heavily armed police who took them all away and confiscated all their recording and interviewing equipment. Then, someone began negotiating with them, using a whole host of methods—warnings, threats, and bribes—all to keep them quiet.
This angered journalists and the public from various countries, and many embassies in Japan issued strong protests and condemnations, demanding their immediate release.
News media around the world also began to hype the story, and public pressure was overwhelming: release them! Release them!
The most troubled were naturally the countries and leaders whose names Guliya had mentioned. Special departments and some financial organizations were all in a panic. How could this be? Damn it, you just dumped a pile of shit in our faces, and it's a stinking, extremely dangerous chemical shit.
It seems that, just as she herself said, "When a person is shameless, they are invincible." She really is invincible. In order to become famous, she actually put on a show of stripping naked.
Damn it, you're really famous now!
Those reporters who quickly transmitted the video and audio recordings at the crucial moment became heroes of the company and idols worshipped by the public. They praised them for their wit, courage, quick thinking, composure, and audacity in daring to play tricks on the Japanese invaders...
Science and technology are the primary productive forces!
It benefits the world and its people.
Highly advanced technology has brought about the convenience of online information, making the hopes of some organizations, departments, and individuals to block information a pipe dream.
Within two hours, the front page of major websites worldwide featured the news of Guliya's shocking revelation at the press conference. The news quickly spread, reaching every corner of the globe. Television, the internet, newspapers, magazines—all kinds of media outlets temporarily set aside all other news to write exclusive reports, feature stories, and offer unique perspectives on this event…
In an instant, Guliya finally fulfilled her wish and became the focus of attention for people of all races around the world, which will surely be recorded in history.
Some people even posted online, suggesting that Guliya was not only a shameless and despicable person, but also a brave one. Who else would dare to so frankly and directly announce her filthy and disgusting thoughts to the world? For her ideals, she made decisions that no one else dared to make and paid a price that no one else dared to pay.
Upon the release of this post, followers flocked to it...
Of course, the most common feeling among ordinary people is probably just one exclamation: Oh, I see!
Everything's in chaos.
...
For a moment, Li Ruiqing and his team were truly at a loss.
These high-ranking officials, who remain unfazed even when Mount Tai collapses before them, naturally guessed immediately that Xu Zhengyang was the one who orchestrated this whole spectacle.
The question is, what should we do next?
We should adopt a certain attitude or take some concrete action to show our stance.
After all, such a big thing has happened. It turns out that their conspiracy was aimed at sabotaging your country's fundamental interests!
To put it bluntly, after confirming this news, it would be perfectly reasonable to retaliate by launching some local wars.
However, as a leader, one would certainly not act so impulsively.
After a series of intensive meetings and discussions, the spokesperson for the press office simply expressed the high-level attitude and its deeper implications: We express our serious concern and condemn the conspiracies of the relevant countries, departments, and organizations that could lead to war. We have already requested, through diplomatic channels, that the relevant countries, departments, and organizations provide a clear and reasonable explanation and make arrangements.
Subsequently, high-ranking leaders and diplomatic officials from the relevant countries began to flock here to express their apologies and make assurances, etc.
Before things had even calmed down, three days later, a well-known international website published another interview video.
The interviewees were two close associates of Gurirya, who frankly confessed to some of the truth and presented a lot of evidence to support the claims made by Gurirya in Dongjing.
This is adding fuel to the fire!
Surprisingly, while people around the world were filled with righteous indignation and burning with gossip, a strange calm emerged in the political circles of various countries.
Of course, beneath the calm surface, undercurrents were surging.
However, this undercurrent is not destined to lead things to the brink of extremism and loss of control, but rather to salvage the situation and maintain stability.
Although it's not over yet, the outcome is already clear.
It's obvious who the biggest beneficiary is.
Well, that's a story for another time.
Now, let's go back to the third day after the Guliya revelation incident.
While the world was buzzing with this news and important figures were in a frenzy, the mastermind behind the event, Xu Zhengyang, the Heavenly King of the Eastern Heavenly Court and the God of the Human Realm, was in the ordinary, unremarkable rural village of Shuanghe, attending the wedding of Chen Chaojiang and Ye Wan with a smile on his face.
Volume Six, Chapter 329: Stealing Half a Day of Leisure, No Time to Be Idle
Shuanghe Village is truly transformed. All the streets and alleys are now paved with cement, and even the narrow path leading out of the village, which used to be paved with slag, is now paved with asphalt and lined with poplar or willow trees, extending all the way to other villages.
The money for the road repair was not raised by the villagers, but was personally funded by Xu Zhengyang's family.
This was common knowledge throughout the entire township and even the entire Fuhe City area. Of course, as for the other villages… Xu Zhengyang wasn't so naive as to be foolishly honest. If he did good deeds too much, it would become showing off, easily attracting slander and resentment.
Initially, according to Chen Chaojiang's idea, the wedding banquet should simply be booked at the Tianwaitian Hotel in Futou Town, so that all relatives and friends could attend, saving the family the trouble of making arrangements.
The problem is...
Ye Wan was not happy. According to her, they should get married in the village. What was so special about going to a hotel?
Her mother-in-law, Zhu Cui, asked her, "What's so special about this village? Your relatives from your family have come, and they look so pathetic in our village..."
That's true. It's not unusual for ten families in the village to get married, all ten of them staying in the village. It would be truly novel to book the entire Tianwaitian Hotel right on the main road in Futou Town. But for Ye Wan, it's different. Getting married in a hotel is just so boring; she's seen it all before…
And so the decision was made to get married in the village.
As for the wedding location, Ye Wan made the decision herself. There was no need to go so far. She chose Xu Zhengyang's house, which was less than a kilometer away from the northeast side of the village to Chen Chaojiang's house on the west side of the south side of the village.
Okay...
With Chen Chaojiang's current status, he could easily find a wedding company with vehicles that would stretch from the east side of the village to the west side.
But then again, it makes sense. Since the wedding ceremony is to be held in the village, shouldn't a suitable family home in Fuhe City be chosen for the bride's departure? After all, the bride's relatives arrived a day early, and Xu Zhengyang's house is the only one in the whole village that offers comfortable and spacious accommodations. Although the relatives are either high-ranking officials or wealthy families, no one can do anything about Ye Wan's decision. This girl has been spoiled since childhood and has a stubborn temperament. Otherwise, how could she have chosen such a son-in-law? As for Ye Rongchen and his wife, what's their status? This Chen Chaojiang… even if we don't care about matching social status, the difference is still too great.
Ye Wan, Chen Chaojiang, and their whole family were all wondering how to arrange the wedding car route given the short distance.
The village is only so big, no matter how you arrange it, you can't turn around more than a few bends.
That day, Ye Wan went to Jingniang Lake and talked to Li Bingjie about the matter. He asked Li Bingjie for advice, saying that maybe our wedding car should leave the village, head east, then drive onto the highway to the outer ring road of Fuhe City, circle around, and then take the national highway back from the west of the village? Li Bingjie doesn't like to give advice randomly, so she nodded and said that was a good idea.
Xu Zhengyang walked out of the study with a smile and said, "Xiao Wan, I think we don't need to use a wedding car. We can just hire someone from a wedding planning company to host the ceremony. As for the wedding procession, it's not a long way. Since you want to do something new, how about using a sedan chair? I think that's a good idea."
"Oh, right!" Ye Wan clapped her hands, that makes sense! But then she frowned and said, "A sedan chair won't do. I like wearing a wedding dress. It would be too ridiculous to ride in a sedan chair while wearing a wedding dress."
“Then let’s walk, with a red carpet laid out on the road…” Xu Zhengyang said with a smile.
He held his teacup and sipped his tea, his face gentle and calm, quite like an elder.
Ye Wan pondered for a moment, then her eyes crinkled with laughter. "Perfect! This is how you make something fresh and exciting!"
These things all happened a few days ago. Let's skip the gossip and get back to the wedding day.
The old, dilapidated house that Chen Chaojiang used to live in was rebuilt into a two-story building the year Xu Zhengyang fell seriously ill. This year, with Chen Chaojiang's wedding in mind, the house was completely renovated, and all the appliances and furniture were replaced. A stove was set up on the street, and a large pot was placed there. Relatives, friends, and neighbors all came to help with the preparations, making it a lively and bustling place.
Yuan Suqin and Xu Neng returned to Shuanghe Village two days earlier and cleaned all the bedrooms in their house to make room for Ye Wan's family.
Today, two red flags were planted above the front door, and couplets were pasted up.
Yuan Suqin would greet everyone with a beaming smile, saying, "My eldest daughter is getting married! Everyone come and have some wedding candy!"
Xu Zhengyang returned to the village yesterday afternoon, visited his own home, and then went to Chen Chaojiang's house for a while before heading back to Jingniang Lake in the evening. He couldn't rest easy without his wife by his side.
You might be wondering, "Why not just bring Li Bingjie back? She's just pregnant, it's been so long, it's not a big deal. A couple of days of celebration won't hurt, right?" Well, we need to explain this. In Xu Zhengyang's hometown, there's a custom that pregnant women should avoid seeing newlyweds, especially on the wedding day, and absolutely not at the house where the celebration is taking place.
The specific reason is... it was passed down from the older generation.
When Chen Chaojiang got married, his childhood friends, who had grown up playing in the mud together, naturally came to help out. However, Xu Zhengyang, the most outstanding and consistently the best among them, was not among his friends busy with the preparations.
There's nothing we can do; his status and position in the village are now widely recognized, and no one will treat him like a young man.
Moreover, due to some face-saving issues, Xu Zhengyang reluctantly sat down with some of the village elders to discuss how to arrange things for the day and how to entertain the bride's relatives who had come from afar.
After much discussion, since not many relatives from that side were coming, Xu Zhengyang, a man who had truly seen grand occasions, would accompany the male guests, while Jiang Lan, who had been specially invited as a guest of honor from the wedding party, would accompany the female guests.
This is a much higher standard than Xu Zhengyang's wedding.
Xu Zhengyang felt somewhat helpless. He had originally planned to work alongside his brothers today, serving guests, carrying plates, and offering cigarettes and alcohol… It wasn't that he wanted to integrate into life or return to his roots. It was simply a matter of loyalty. After all, whether it was his own wedding or those of his other buddies, wasn't this the kind of responsibility brothers shared? He already felt guilty for not being able to help his other buddies at their weddings because his divine consciousness was in the Heavenly Realm. His brothers had all come to help at his own wedding, but now, on Chen Chaojiang's wedding, he was the one sitting in the VIP section, being served by his brothers—that just felt really unfair.
Besides, I wouldn't have much free time to handle things while in the VIP section.
You should know that right today, Li Haidong and Su Peng are carrying out a special and important mission abroad: to control Guliya's trusted subordinates and have them interviewed by a news website with absolute influence worldwide, in order to further expose more secrets.
You have to understand, this is business done abroad, and you never know what unexpected situations might arise, so Xu Zhengyang can't let his guard down and needs Li Haidong and Su Peng to report on the progress at any time.
When the wedding procession set off, Cao Gangchuan and his group naturally led the way, along with a group of younger men from the village. They set off firecrackers along the route to ensure the sound never stopped. With the help of the neighbors, the wedding company staff began setting up flower arches and laying out red carpets along the way.
This is the same wedding planning company that Xu Zhengyang used for his wedding last year. For them, Shuanghe Village is quite peculiar.
The wedding I hosted last year, regardless of its size, the guests were... too expensive!
This year, another unusual case has emerged. Well, unlike last year, we don't need your event planning company to find a lot of vehicles. Instead, we need to prepare the kind of floral archway that's only used once in a typical wedding ceremony, so that we can erect one every ten meters along the route; in addition, we need a sufficiently long red carpet...
Well, no matter what kind of event planning company it is, they can't possibly prepare that many red carpets, can they?
If we buy so much just for this one brand, we won't be able to use it all in the future. Isn't that a waste?
Fortunately, Mr. Yao Chushun, the owner of Gu Xiang Xuan, said that whatever you spend, it's Gu Xiang Xuan's responsibility! Look at your company's pathetic attitude, so pretentious!
Well, since they're showing off and willing to spend money, what can their event planning company say? They just have to do it.
Meanwhile, Xu Zhengyang and a group of village elders had already arrived at his home and started arguing with a group of women of all ages who had been organized in advance. The arguments revolved around wedding candy and betrothal gifts. These were all things that Ye Wan insisted Chen Chaojiang prepare; she wanted the flavor of local customs, the lively and bustling atmosphere!
Chen Chaojiang listens to Ye Wan in everything he does; he's not good at arguing, and besides, there's no need for it.
As for Chen An and Zhu Cui, the parents-in-law, they were even more obligated. Their family was well-off, money wasn't an issue, and their daughter-in-law was a truly exceptional person; they simply went along with whatever she said. Note that the exceptional person Chen An and Zhu Cui referred to… the first exceptional person was naturally Ye Wan's family background, and the second exceptional person was Jin Gui, who was currently pregnant with a little baby.
Despite Chen Chaojiang's relentless efforts and absolute dominance, even though he was incredibly busy working day and night, he couldn't escape Ye Wan's clutches and had to make time to "pay his dues" every day. Ultimately, Ye Wan got her wish and became pregnant.
Countless times in private, Ye Wan would pat her still-flat belly and grin triumphantly at Chen Chaojiang: "I'm going to be a mother! This is a shotgun wedding!"
Yes, I'm currently one and a half months pregnant.
As someone who had seen the world and came specifically to accompany his relatives, Xu Zhengyang naturally accompanied Chen Chaojiang's uncle from his own family to exchange congratulations with the bride's male relatives. They then sat down and chatted until they welcomed the bride out of the courtyard, and then went out together to see her off.
