Chapter 377 The Century-Like Lottery Begins! Three Private Jets Delivered to Villagers!
"Jiang Chen, congratulations! I wish you and Qingqing a long and happy marriage, and many children!"
Jiang Chen and Su Qing, holding their wine glasses, began toasting the entire room.
The first table was naturally occupied by Third Grandfather Jiang Wanshan and several other elders from the village.
The old man looked radiant and full of energy today, beaming from ear to ear as he looked at the perfect couple before him.
"Excellent! Excellent! Our Jiang family has finally produced a truly outstanding and promising talent!"
Jiang Chen respectfully offered a toast and then filled the old man's glass with a special edition Da Hong Pao tea infused with activating spirit water.
Next up were the tables of my parents and in-laws.
Today, Su Tianhao completely abandoned his airs as the richest man in the provincial capital, and put his arm around Jiang Jianguo's shoulder, calling him brother.
After a few drinks, he was already a little tipsy.
He patted Jiang Chen on the shoulder and shouted in a slurred voice.
"Good...good son-in-law! The most successful investment I've ever made in my life, Su Tianhao, is having a wonderful daughter and marrying her to you!"
The atmosphere was harmonious and joyful.
. . .
When Jiang Chen and Su Qing walked to Liu Cuifen and Jiang Jianye's table, a slight disturbance broke the harmonious atmosphere.
Jiang Jianye and Liu Cuifen's expressions were extremely complicated at this moment.
The shock of that divine meal hadn't subsided, but the jealousy deep inside them gnawed at their hearts like a venomous snake.
Looking at Jiang Chen's indifferent face, Liu Cuifen spoke with a sour tone.
"Jiang Chen, you've really made something of yourself now, even your wedding banquet is different from everyone else's."
"But when it comes to toasting, shouldn't we use something real?"
She pointed to the clear liquid in the exquisite white jade pot on the table.
"Don't try to fool us elders with this so-called spring water again. On such a joyous occasion, we should at least open a few bottles of Moutai to celebrate, shouldn't we?"
Upon hearing this, several relatives at the table joined in the commotion.
"That's right, it's a joyous occasion, we have to drink!"
"Chenzi, don't be so stingy. Don't you have hundreds of cases of Moutai stored in your warehouse behind the mountain?"
In their view, this was still Jiang Chen's act of being stingy.
Before Jiang Chen could speak, Wang Dagou, who was following behind him, couldn't hold back any longer.
Wang Dagou, who served as both best man and head of security, was in a state of extreme excitement throughout the day.
He stepped forward and slammed his hand on the table, making the cups and plates rattle.
"Drink your mother's Moutai!"
Wang Dagou glared at him and cursed without any politeness.
"You bunch of ignorant bumpkins, do you even know what you're drinking?"
He pointed at the white jade pot, raising his voice to a high pitch.
"This is called 'Immortal Elixir'! It's the purest liquid that Brother Chen specially retrieved from the spring behind the mountain!"
"At Dean Sun's table just now, several high-ranking officials from the province wanted an extra pot of tea, but Brother Chen refused!"
"You're still being picky? Moutai is nothing! Compared to this water, Moutai is just horse piss!"
Wang Dagou's crude but information-rich words left Liu Cuifen and the others completely bewildered.
Ambrosia?
Even if the leaders want to drink, they can't get a drink?
Looking at the clear water in the glass, they suddenly realized that they had been wasting such a wonderful thing.
Jiang Chen smiled, indicating to Wang Dagou that he didn't need to get angry.
He raised his glass to Liu Cuifen and the others.
"Aunt, uncles, this water is indeed better than wine."
"Listen to me, drink more, it's good for your health."
After saying that, he ignored them and led Su Qing to the next table.
Liu Cuifen opened her mouth, wanting to say something more, but found that she couldn't squeeze out a single word.
Because she saw with her own eyes that the billionaire from the provincial capital at the next table was carefully pouring the leftover water from their table into his pure silver kettle.
That expression was so precious, as if it were some kind of magic elixir.
Liu Cuifen felt as if she had been pricked by a needle, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
. . .
After the toasts were finished, the atmosphere of the wedding banquet reached its peak.
The emcee walked back onto the stage, holding a glittering gold raffle box.
"Distinguished guests! The exciting moment has finally arrived!"
"Next, we will begin today's grand prize draw!"
"First, our third prize, provided by our bride's father, Mr. Su Tianhao, is a Rolex Submariner green watch, worth one hundred dollars! Let's welcome the first lucky winners!"
As the list scrolled rapidly on the electronic screen, one name after another was read out.
A burst of jubilant cheers erupted from the crowd of winners.
"Oh my god! I won! I really won!"
"I'm rich! This watch could probably buy a car!"
Those who didn't win looked on with envy.
Jiang Jianye, in particular, had red eyes as he stared intently at the lottery box, muttering prayers for divine protection.
The hundred-dollar green Submariner was quickly gone.
Next up is the second prize, provided by Jiang Wan: fifty of the latest Hermès Birkin bags.
This triggered another round of frantic screams from the female guests.
The first prize, provided by Empress Dowager Su Mingzhu, is ten lifetime top-tier VIP cards for Nanshan Sanatorium.
The announcement of this prize made even the most discerning wealthy individuals, who knew its true value, breathe heavily.
After all the small prizes were drawn, the atmosphere at the scene was ignited to its peak.
The emcee puffed out his chest and announced in an extremely loud voice.
"Now, let us witness history together!"
"Next up is the grand prize for our wedding today!"
"Prepared by our groom, Mr. Jiang Chen—"
The emcee deliberately dragged out his words, and the huge LED screen behind him shone brightly.
The $3 billion Gulfstream G700 private jet purchase contract was presented directly to everyone.
When the words "three units to be purchased" appeared, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone seemed to be frozen in place, their minds completely blank.
"I...I didn't see wrong, did I...three?"
"A lottery to win a plane? A Gulfstream G700? Is this...is this something a human would do?"
"This is insane! This world has gone completely insane!"
After a brief silence came a roar like a volcanic eruption, sweeping everything away!
Everyone stood up, craning their necks and staring at the stage with fervent expressions.
That's no longer like watching a lottery.
That's witnessing a miracle!
Jiang Jianye's legs went weak, and he slumped into the chair, his mouth agape, muttering to himself.
"Airplane...sending off an airplane...it's all over...I've wasted my life..."
Liu Cuifen felt dizzy and almost fainted on the spot.
She finally understood that the distance between herself and Jiang Chen could no longer be measured by money.
That's the difference between heaven and earth.
"Now, I hereby announce that the grand prize draw has officially begun!"
The emcee pressed the lottery button.
The names on the screen started scrolling wildly.
Everyone held their breath.
A few seconds later, the image froze.
The first name was clearly displayed.
Jiang Mancang.
The entire audience was stunned for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, the honest farmer who had been quietly helping with washing vegetables and carrying plates was pushed onto the stage amidst cheers from the villagers.
Jiang Mancang was so excited that he was trembling all over and could barely speak.
"I...I...Brother Chen...this is too precious...I can't accept it..."
Jiang Chen walked onto the stage, personally handed the contract to him, and patted him on the shoulder.
"Uncle Mancang, this is what you deserve."
"In our Jiangjia Village, honest and hardworking people will surely be rewarded!"
As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted throughout the hall!
The villagers looked at Jiang Mancang with eyes full of blessings and envy.
Everyone knows that Jiang Mancang is the most hardworking and honest person in the whole village.
Jiang Chen did this to announce his rules to everyone.
Next, the second name was drawn.
Wang Dagou.
Wang Dagou stood there stunned, then scratched his head and burst into laughter.
The audience erupted in good-natured laughter once again.
This is the best reward for loyalty.
Everyone's heart was in their throat.
Only one spot left!
The screen scrolled again.
This time, time seemed to move incredibly slowly.
All eyes were fixed on the scrolling screen of light.
In the blink of an eye, the image freezes.
When they saw the name on the screen, everyone in the room was stunned.
This includes Jiang Chen, and also Su Tianhao.
Because that name belongs to neither a villager nor a tycoon.
It was Su Mingzhu.
The entire audience erupted in uproar!
How could it be the Empress Dowager?
Just as everyone was discussing it.
With Ye Hongtu's help, Su Mingzhu, leaning on her sandalwood cane, slowly stood up.
She didn't go to the stage, she just picked up the microphone.
The aged yet dignified voice clearly resonated throughout the entire venue.
"Looks like this old woman is having a lucky day."
She smiled, a smile that held a hint of wisdom.
"However, I'm an old lady who's about to die, so I won't need this plane anymore."
"I've decided to donate the plane I won!"
"This is the first asset to launch our Jiangjia Village's future longevity base!"
"It will no longer belong to any one person."
"It will become a special ticket, and in the future, it will be reserved exclusively for those who have made outstanding contributions to our country, providing them with the highest level of service!"
"I hereby declare that, from this day forward, the Longevity Base is officially established!"
Su Mingzhu's words were resounding, each word like a muffled thunderclap, striking everyone's hearts.
If sending a plane is a sign of wealth...
Su Mingzhu's words elevated the wedding to a sacred level that ordinary people could not reach!
At this moment, no one questioned it anymore.
Everyone looked at the young man on the stage, and only two words remained in their minds.
Awe!
