I have ten trillion licking dog gold

"Iron Army doesn't need help saving money, can't you pick something better?"

Once the bridesmaids' dresses were finalized, when Boss Jiang casually picked up a suit, Tong Dan, who had been holding back her anger, immediately took the opportunity to point and criticize.

"I only wear it once anyway, so it's economical and practical."

"Economical and affordable, but we can't buy things from street vendors."

The price tag on this suit says the rental fee is 200 yuan per day, and the selling price is 1,000 yuan.

A large store makes all the difference; it offers a wide variety of products at all price points, catering to diverse consumer groups with options to suit all budgets.

of course.

Expensive things are not necessarily good.

But remember one ironclad rule.

You get what you pay for.

Tong Dan walked over in her high heels and touched—don't misunderstand, she wasn't touching anyone, she was touching the suit that Boss Jiang was holding.

"Like a rag, so unsophisticated, like a bartender."

Tsk.

Those lips are still as charming as ever.

"It doesn't matter."

Boss Jiang didn't care at all, "I'm just a supporting character. If I dress too smartly, wouldn't I steal Junzi's thunder?"

"Pfft."

Tong Dan couldn't help but chuckle, looking him up and down. "Dear President Jiang, aren't you a little too confident? Nobody asked you to steal the groom's thunder, but you can't embarrass him either. You're dressed like a real estate agent helping with the wedding procession. What will the bride's family think?"

Jiang Chen seemed to understand something. "That makes sense."

He immediately put down what he estimated to be the most affordable suit here, and asked, "Could you help me pick one out?"

"Princess Qing, come here."

Tong Dan turned around and said.

Fang Qing did not refuse. Her gaze moved across the display shelf, and then she picked up a double-breasted black suit with a lapel.

The price is relatively reasonable.

500 yuan a day.

At least you won't look like a real estate agent riding an electric scooter when you wear it.

Tong Dan didn't say anything; as long as it was acceptable, that was fine. After all, she was well aware of someone's current achievements.

No matter how much the clothes in this store cost, they're all junk to the customer.

"President Jiang, why don't you give it a try?"

"No need to try. Princess Qing's judgment is beyond doubt. This is the one."

"That won't do. You have to try a suit on to know if it fits. This isn't like before, where everything is custom-made."

Tong Dan shoved the clothes into his hands, saying, "Hurry up."

So Jiang Chen could only take the clothes and go into the fitting room.

"When you came out after changing into that dress, he was completely stunned, like he'd never seen a woman before."

Taking advantage of a break, Tong Dan seized the opportunity to make a joke.

"Talking badly about others behind their backs is not a good habit."

Fang Qing's face remained as still as a mirror: "Especially the bad things the boss said."

Tong Dan choked, her eyes widening slightly.

"...Princess Qing, it's not your wedding, is it?"

Fang Qing looked at her and said, "I'm just reminding you that, given his magnanimity, if he knew you were talking about crickets behind his back, he would definitely cause you trouble."

Tong Dan was both amused and exasperated, and was inevitably confused, unable to tell whether the other party was defending Jiang Chen or insulting him.

"Is he really planning to attend Tie Jun's wedding alone this time, without bringing anyone else?"

Tong Dan changed the subject, leaned closer to Fang Qing, and asked in a low voice.

“Li Shurui and Tie Jun are not familiar with each other.”

Tong Dan was speechless.

Princess Qing is really straightforward.

"I think it's not just that reason."

Tong Dan's words were quite meaningful.

"Then what do you think is the reason?"

Fang Qing tilted her head and asked.

Since the other party is so open and honest, why should she beat around the bush? Tong Dan pursed her lips and whispered, "I think Jiang Chen still cares about you. He doesn't bring anyone else because he's considerate of your feelings."

Do you know what you're saying?

Tong Dan was taken aback.

"Li Shurui is your superior."

Fang Qing continued.

"..."

Tong Dan was speechless for a moment, then hummed, "You're still my sister!"

"The current economic climate is not good, so you should cherish a good job."

Fang Qing walked away.

Tong Dan was stunned, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and muttered at her back, "You don't know what's good for you."

"How about it?"

After changing his clothes, Comrade Jiang Chen came out and asked Qingmei for her opinion.

The double-breasted design adds a touch of solemnity, with smooth and firm shoulder lines that fit the body and outline a broad yet not bulky shoulder and back silhouette. The trouser legs are straight and smooth, and the slightly tapered trousers in the same color drape naturally. The inner layer is a light blue fine-check linen shirt with the top two buttons undone and the collar slightly open, creating a relaxed and comfortable look.

Although it's only a 500-yuan-a-day item, someone wore it with class, style, and flair. There was no unnecessary tie, and the cuffs were casually rolled up, exuding an understated elegance that blended with the composed charm of time.

Even Tong Dan, who had come over, couldn't find fault with it and sighed inwardly.

really.

Status and position are the best qualities a man can possess.

She believes that the same outfit would not look the same on another person, otherwise it would not be priced at only 500.

"How about we switch to the 200 set?"

She joked.

"Why change? This one suits me so well."

Tie Jun came over, and looking at his good buddy in his suit, his eyes lit up with excitement, "radiating bromance."

"This is the first time I've ever seen you in a suit."

He gave a thumbs up, mimicking his previous expression, and exclaimed, "So cool!"

Aren't you afraid of being overshadowed?

Tong Dan joked.

"If I were afraid of stealing the spotlight, I would ask him to be my best man."

Tie Jun didn't take it to heart, and then put his hand on Jiang Chen's shoulder, "The best man is so dashing and handsome, he brings honor to my reputation."

Tong Dan's gaze fell on the hand that was pressing on someone's shoulder.

What does it mean to say, "If I become rich and powerful, I will not forget you"?

That's it.

Today.

How many people are qualified to pat this guy on the shoulder like that?

"That girl was a bridesmaid too, wasn't she?"

Jiang Chen acted as if nothing had happened.

"You mean Eileen? Yes, she is too."

"And then add Tong Dan and Qing Gege?"

Tie Jun nodded. "Yes, what's wrong?"

"Does President Jiang have any objections?" Tong Dan interjected. "Is he dissatisfied with our bridesmaid group?"

"I wouldn't say I'm dissatisfied, but I'd definitely like as many as possible."

Jiang Chen was joking.

"Jiang Chen, you're being a bit greedy. You have the beautiful Tong and Fang Qing, aren't you satisfied?"

In terms of looks, temperament, and other qualities, that nurse named Eileen is definitely not as good, but being a bridesmaid isn't a beauty pageant.

"I mean, where are the best men? There are three bridesmaids, surely I'm not the only best man?"

"There's another one. My squad leader from when I was in the army. He also happens to be from Shacheng, and he transferred back last year."

“Is he handsome?”

Tong Dan asked.

Tie Jun laughed: "We'll definitely arrange for you, the best man and the bridesmaids, to meet before the wedding. You'll see when the time comes."

"Okay, I'll wait for your notification."

Tong Dan was quite proactive.

"Don't be too fickle."

Jiang Chen coughed lightly. He remembered that Pan Yang and Tong Dan were still in contact.

Tong Dan smiled gracefully and said, "Likewise."

"We're still one person short."

Jiang Chen asked Tie Jun again.

Tie Jun looked at Fang Qing and said, "I heard from Princess Qing that Fu Zili is about to be released."

"You want to ask Fu Zili to be your best man?" Tong Dan understood the implication.

"Add him, that's perfect."

"But……"

Tong Dan hesitated, "He just got out of prison, what if..."

"What does it matter?"

Tie Jun didn't take it seriously.

“He probably won’t agree,” Fang Qing said.

She naturally knew the relationship between Tie Jun and the other two best. Tie Jun was loyal and righteous, but that didn't mean Fu Zili wouldn't have any grudges.

Regardless of the circumstances, in traditional beliefs, it is considered unlucky to have someone with a criminal record as a best man.

“If you don’t have anyone else in mind, then let Xiaoyu do it. Don’t make things difficult for Fu Zili,” Jiang Chen said.

Tie Jun was silent for a moment, then nodded. "That works. Does Xiaoyu have time?"

"He is in Shacheng."

"Really? Okay, I'll message him."

"Have you booked the hotel?"

Several childhood friends chatted casually.

“It was decided months ago. Siram.”

"That hotel isn't cheap."

Tong Dandao.

Siram is the newest and most popular wedding hotel in Shah City, with prices a level higher than regular hotels.

"It's not cheap, but they've entrusted their whole lives to me. It's a once-in-a-lifetime event, so I should try my best to give them the best within my means."

"Tiejun, you are such a good man!"

"Ms. Tong, you're a bridesmaid, don't get too involved."

Jiang Chen reminded him.

Tong Dan rolled her eyes at him. "I'm just stating the facts."

"Please don't say that. I'm hardly a good man in front of Jiang Chen."

Tie Jun said modestly.

"Come on."

Tong Dan scoffed.

"What I said is true."

For some reason, Tie Jun didn't explain, but instead threw the topic to Fang Qing, "If you don't believe me, ask Princess Qing."

Tong Dan frowned.

Why ask Fang Qing?

If you put yourself in Fang Qing's shoes, wouldn't that guy be a complete heartless bastard?

So she remained silent, only chuckling softly.

Fang Qing, however, remained silent.

Tie Jun smiled.

Jiang Chen and Qing Gege didn't end up together, that's a fact, but the current outcome can't erase all the past.

Princess Qing is so smart, and he and Fu Zili grew up with her, so why is she so fond of Jiang Chen?
This is already the answer.

even.

Outsiders may not understand.

Having witnessed their story firsthand, Tie Jun felt that Qing Gege might never meet someone like Jiang Chen again in her future life.

This may be why she hasn't been able to move on from it yet.

How many tables were set up?

Jiang Chen changed the subject.

If you're not understood, you're not understood.

What does it have to do with anything?

Anyway, he never thought of showing off his tolerance and forbearance towards Qing Gege.

"About 30 tables, we've hosted all the relatives and friends from both sides together."

"My wallet is bleeding out."

Jiang Chen joked.

"It's alright. I've made a budget, and with the dowry and gold jewelry, all the expenses will add up to about 200,000."

"How much did they ask for in betrothal gifts?"

Jiang Chen Bagua.

"Would you believe me if I said I didn't ask for a bride price?"

"real or fake?"

Not to mention Jiang Chen, even Tong Dan, who is also a woman, was surprised.

"I really didn't want it."

"I don't believe it. She's an only child, right? She should at least receive a token gift, shouldn't she?" Tong Dan said.

Excessive bride price is a bad custom, but it is also a tradition and a sign of respect for the woman.

"His parents asked for 66,000 yuan. But she didn't want me to have too much of a burden, so she told her parents that I had given the money directly to her. Anyway, her parents would give the bride price to her anyway."

"This……"

Tong Dan lost her voice.

Jiang Chen picked up on what she wanted to say and remarked with feeling, "What a good girl."

He understood even more now why Tie Jun had put such a grand effort into organizing this wedding.

Men are actually very simple.

If a woman is willing to place a bet, she will do everything in her power to ensure you don't lose.

of course.

This refers to men with a conscience.

Most men in the world have a conscience.

"There are still plenty of good girls out there; there are two right here."

Tie Jun brought the topic back.

Jiang Chen then asked Tong Dan, "When you get married, how much dowry do you plan to ask for?"

Tong Dan frowned, "Why don't you ask Fang Qing?"

"I know Qing Gege, she won't take a single penny, and she'll even pay extra for it."

Jiang Chen spoke with absolute certainty.

"You think you're handsome?!"

Tong Dan blurted it out.

"Mr. Tie, Miss Wen is out."

"The clerk called out."

Several people rushed over.

"How about it?"

Wen Rong changed into a wedding dress, which was simpler and less glamorous, so its visual impact was slightly weaker.

"I think the previous one looked better."

“Yes, Rongrong, I think so too,” echoed Ji Ailin, a nurse who was also a bridesmaid.

"But I... prefer this one."

Wen Rong said in a low voice. She was undoubtedly not a good liar, and her lack of confidence made it clear to anyone that she was not being sincere.

Actually, it has nothing to do with aesthetics anymore.

Anyone with eyesight can tell the difference in quality between the two wedding dresses at a glance.

Did Cinderella take off the glass slippers because she didn't like them?
Tie Jun, of course, knew his wife well and asked the shop assistant directly, "How much was that wedding dress?"

"Thirty thousand."

Thirty thousand?

Tong Dan was a little surprised when she heard the price.

"Is it 30,000 for one day?"

"Yes, that wedding dress is one of the top-of-the-line styles in our store, so it's a bit more expensive."

No wonder Wen Rong chose to replace her.

Thirty thousand.

Moreover, it is a disposable item.

What is the average salary in Shacheng?

"What about this one?"

Tie Jun remained expressionless and continued to ask.

"This set costs three thousand."

Wedding planning is indeed a highly profitable business.

"How about this one?"

Wen Rong said somewhat hastily.

Tie Jun smiled gently at his wife, but his heart was filled with guilt.

He really wanted to do his best to organize an unforgettable wedding, but the wedding dress costing 30,000 yuan a day was far beyond his budget, and even if he wanted to grit his teeth, he couldn't help but hesitate.

Ordinary people don't have the right to be willful.

"I share Wen Rong's opinion; this simple yet elegant outfit suits Wen Rong's temperament very well."

Tong Dan spoke up, understanding Tie Jun's predicament.

Who wouldn't want to spend a fortune to make their beloved girl smile?

But life is more than just fleeting passion.

How long would 30,000 yuan cover living expenses in Shacheng? And how many days' rent would it cover for a barbecue restaurant?
Tie Jun remained hesitant, wavering between reality and emotion.

Just as Jiang Chen was about to speak, he heard Qing Gege's voice.

"Should we choose the one you like, or the one Wen Rong likes?"

A wedding dress costing three thousand is just as white as one costing thirty thousand.

Jiang Chen instantly pursed his lips, sighing inwardly, feeling ashamed of his own inferiority. (End of Chapter)
