This person is clearly a male protagonist in a female-oriented novel, yet he is excessively lucid.

As dawn broke, the plaza in front of the hotel was bathed in the morning light.

The chill of last night was dispelled by the warm glow of the DVD player, but it couldn't dispel the critical looks and whispers in the eyes of Yu Chenzhou's relatives.

Several tables of morning tea were set up in a corner of the banquet hall. Uncles and maternal uncles sat together, picking at the snacks in their bowls while still muttering about the extravagance of the wedding, their tone full of disdain.

The cousins ​​gathered around, complaining about not sleeping well last night, and secretly plotting how to subtly ask Yu Chenzhou for some "compensation" when they met later.

Yu Chenzhou had already gotten up and changed into a set of formal groom's clothes, which perfectly matched Xiao Yilin's phoenix coronet and wedding gown.

The upper body is a bright red round-necked robe, made of a lustrous and warm brocade with dark patterns. The collar, cuffs and hem are embroidered with lotus scrolls and double happiness patterns, which are delicately outlined with gold and silver threads.

Bathed in the morning light, it gleams with a delicate luster, displaying both the joy and grandeur of a traditional Chinese wedding and the composed demeanor of a distinguished family.

A plain jade belt cinched around his waist accentuated his tall and slender figure, and a jade pendant hung from his waist, making a soft tinkling sound when he walked, exuding elegance and refinement.

He escorted Xiao Yilin to the dressing room, gave the makeup artist a few detailed instructions, and then turned to the hotel lobby to greet the guests. Xiao Tianhe was already waiting at the door, accompanied by several assistants who were methodically checking the guest list.

"Shenzhou, my old friends are arriving soon. I'll introduce them to you later. These are the connections you and Linlin will need to maintain in the future."

Xiao Tianhe patted him on the shoulder, his tone familiar.

No sooner had the words been spoken than the roar of a convoy could be heard in the distance, as one luxury car after another slowly drove into the hotel parking lot.

As the car door opened, a group of men dressed in custom-made suits and exuding an air of extraordinary presence stepped out of the car. Each of them wore a smile and their every move reflected the composed aura of business tycoons.

Yu Chenzhou stepped forward a few steps and calmly raised his hand to exchange pleasantries with the crowd.

Xiao Tianhe introduced them one by one, and each name he mentioned was a well-known figure in the industry—a real estate tycoon, a tech upstart, a financial giant, and even the assistants following behind him exuded competence and efficiency.

Seeing this, the Yu family relatives in the corner gradually quieted down. The uncle put down his teacup, craned his neck to look at the luxury cars, and his eyes showed a bit more shock and unease.

What caught them even more off guard was that several figures in the crowd looked remarkably familiar.

Cousin Yu Chenhai clenched his chopsticks tightly, his face turning deathly pale.

The man surrounded by the crowd, chatting and laughing with Yu Chenzhou, was none other than Lin Zhenghong, the chairman of his company! And not far away, talking to Xiao Tianhe, was none other than Zhao Qiming, the behind-the-scenes boss of the building materials factory where his cousin worked.

These two important figures, who are rarely seen even by department managers in the company, were now treating Yu Chenzhou with humility, even offering him their business cards and speaking in a very polite tone.

"Isn't that Chairman Lin? Shen Hai, isn't that your company's boss?"

The uncle lowered his voice, his tone full of disbelief. He leaned forward unconsciously, his shock gradually turning into excitement. He even subconsciously straightened his wrinkled collar, trying to make himself look more presentable.

Yu Chenhai nodded stiffly, his throat tightening. Just last night, he was complaining that Yu Chenzhou disliked the poor wedding arrangements.

Faced with his boss's polite attitude towards his cousin, he felt his face burning with embarrassment, wishing he could disappear into the ground. His fingers unconsciously rubbed the hem of his clothes as his mind raced:

I must find an opportunity to get close to him later and use my cousin's connection to say hello to Chairman Lin. Even just saying a word will make me feel more respected in the company.

The cousins ​​fell silent, their earlier scheming and complaints replaced by shock. They nudged each other with their elbows and exchanged knowing glances.

If I had known the Xiao family had this ability, I shouldn't have gossiped earlier.

My second cousin's wife was even more impatient. She quietly tugged at her husband's sleeve and whispered a reproachful complaint:

"Look at you! You were just saying that Chen Zhou was useless, but he can even talk to Chairman Lin!"

"Later, go and offer Chen Zhou a toast, apologize sincerely, and if you can get him to help you out, your project that's been stuck for half a month won't have to wait for approval."

The man nodded repeatedly, his eyes filled with regret and expectation. Staring at Yu Chenzhou's figure, there was no longer any mockery, but rather a hint of deliberate flattery.

Just then, a lively sound came from the doorway, and a group of people dressed in formal attire and with refined manners walked in. The leader was an elderly man with gray hair but vigorous spirit, who was none other than Academician Zhao Yanshu, Yu Chenzhou's mentor at the medical school.

The people following closely behind were all Yu Chenzhou's senior classmates, and they have all made significant achievements in the medical field.

"Congratulations, Chen Zhou!"

Zhao Yanshu stepped forward and patted Yu Chenzhou on the shoulder with a smile.

"You've started a family, today is your big day, but I still have to complain, do you even have a teacher like me?"

"You didn't even tell me about such a big decision as resigning."

Yu Chenzhou bowed respectfully, his tone humble:

"I'm sorry to have troubled you, teacher. I didn't dare to tell you beforehand because I was afraid you would worry."

Senior brothers and sisters also came forward to offer their congratulations, their words full of advice, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

Not long after, a hotel staff member rushed over and whispered a few words in Xiao Tianhe's ear.

Xiao Tianhe's eyes lit up, and he turned to Yu Chenzhou with a smile:

"Although several senior members of the Calligraphers Association and the Artists Association were unable to come in person, they all sent special people to deliver congratulatory gifts, as well as calligraphy and paintings written by themselves, which have been delivered to the lounge."

Yu Chenzhou nodded slightly. He had already heard from the presidents of the Calligraphy Association and the Fine Arts Association that several senior figures wanted to meet him, but unfortunately they were too old to travel long distances. Receiving such a generous gift was already a great honor.

When the news reached the relatives, it caused another stir.

The teacup in his uncle's hand paused in mid-air. The embarrassment on his face faded considerably, replaced by a hint of smugness. He leaned closer to his uncle and lowered his voice, his tone full of calculation:

"I never expected Shen Zhou to have such connections. He's a senior member of the Calligraphy Association and the Fine Arts Association. His calligraphy and paintings are things that money can't buy!"

I'll have to find a reason to ask him later if I can borrow the calligraphy and painting to frame and hang at home. It'll make a good impression and bring good luck. Maybe I can even use the calligraphy and painting as an excuse to get Chen Zhou to help me make an appointment to meet him."

My uncle readily agreed, his earlier awkwardness completely gone, rubbing his hands together and grinning broadly.

"More than that! Doesn't our son want to learn calligraphy?"

I'll go talk to Shen Zhou later and ask him to inquire whether the old master is willing to take on apprentices, even if it's just a few words of guidance. That would be a good opportunity for them to succeed in the future.

She started to get up as she spoke, but her uncle grabbed her arm.

"What's the rush! We can talk about it during a break in the wedding. Right now, Chen Zhou is busy welcoming guests. Don't cause trouble or become a nuisance."

Those who originally thought Yu Chenzhou was "ungrateful" and "good-for-nothing" were now completely silent, their hearts filled with astonishment and calculation.

Everyone was hoping to use Yu Chenzhou's connections for their own benefit, and they even deliberately softened their tone of voice, afraid of offending this "capable" junior.

Immediately afterwards, a familiar greeting came from the doorway.

A group of medical staff, led by Dean Lu Haifeng, walked in. Among them were Yu Chenzhou's former colleagues and the hospital's core personnel.

Lu Haifeng stepped forward, shook Yu Chenzhou's hand, and said with a smile:

Congratulations! You're having double happiness now!

However, I still want to mention that if you're really bored at home, you're always welcome to come back.

Xiao Yilin is now two months pregnant. Her first ultrasound was done at the First Affiliated Hospital, and Lu Haifeng made a special trip to check on her at the time.

"We brought everyone here today to congratulate you and wish you a happy marriage."

Yu Chenzhou felt a warmth in his heart and replied with a smile, "Thank you, Dean Lu, and thank you to all my colleagues."

The relatives who were watching were completely dumbfounded.

The hospital director personally led a team to offer his congratulations and was so kind to Yu Chenzhou. He didn't seem like someone who had been "fired" from the hospital at all.

The previous speculations that he was "fired" or "incompetent" were instantly disproven.

Just as the atmosphere at the scene was getting more and more heated, a series of camera shutter sounds suddenly rang out outside the hotel, accompanied by screams and shouts from fans.

Everyone turned to look, and saw Chen Xiaoxiao, dressed in a beige dress, walking in surrounded by her assistants. Her makeup was exquisite, and her temperament was gentle. She was none other than the superstar who was currently popular all over the internet.

She shed her on-screen glamour, a friendly smile on her face, and walked straight up to Yu Chenzhou, extending her hand and half-jokingly saying:

"Dr. Yu, congratulations on your marriage! I hope you don't mind that I came uninvited. I specially canceled my schedule to come here today, just to share in your joy."

"Not at all, you're a big star, it's my honor to have you here."

Please come in!

He welcomes all who come to his wedding with a smile and offers them a toast, no matter who they are.

Chen Xiaoxiao's appearance instantly brought the atmosphere to a climax, and the guests all took out their phones to take pictures.

After all, business tycoons are generally low-key, while celebrities are different.

Because in the public's current perception, are celebrities who don't go out of style considered celebrities?
