Chapter 153: Extravagant Wedding Package Turmoil
by xennovelDamn.
After receiving Luo Peng’s affirmative response, many viewers in the live chat immediately started cursing.
In the eyes of many in Long Kingdom, a Rolls wedding car worth millions is the pinnacle, with only limited-edition sports cars topping that level.
But for some reason, even those limited-edition sports cars can’t match the opulence and grandeur of the Wan Gong Sedan Chair.
Most importantly,
if you have the money, you can rent a top-tier limited supercar as your wedding ride, but even the wealthy might struggle to procure a Wan Gong Sedan Chair.
Now that’s true luxury! Just as the viewers were still reeling, Luo Peng spoke up again: “The second item of the wedding package requires that on the groom’s wedding day, every ancient building and tree along the reception route must be draped in red silk. Once the top-tier package is booked, Mingsha Tourism will not accept any other orders for that day.”
In other words, only one couple can tie the knot that day. Additionally, Mingsha Tourism will provide a dedicated agent to handle wedding errands—including booking guesthouses for both families and a host of other basic services.
Wow! After Luo Peng finished speaking, the reporters on site seemed to forget their roles and began whispering among themselves.
“Every spot along the route adorned with red silk—if the procession passes through Qing Brick Avenue, the display rivals that of a noble’s ancient royal wedding!”
Some reporters even imagined Qing Brick Avenue completely draped in red silk.
The streets would feature a lengthy wedding procession centered around a Wan Gong Sedan Chair, flanked on both sides by curious onlookers.
The scene was nothing short of spectacular.
This level of prestige is sometimes worth far more than tens of thousands.
After a brief pause, Luo Peng announced the third service.
“Third, the package includes professional sedan chair bearers, suona players, sign holders, and all the essential personnel for a traditional wedding. Finally, Mingsha Tourism will provide an exclusive venue for banquet guests.”
In short,
any couple booking the top-tier package just needs to show up—with the groom, bride, and all their guests at Mingsha—everything else is handled.
This service might seem ordinary, but hiring such staff independently would cost a fortune.
Clearly, it eliminates all the hassle of wedding arrangements! Meanwhile, the live chat had fallen silent from Wu Nan’s fans, replaced entirely by discussions about this luxurious service.
“At thirty thousand a set, this is totally worth it!”
“No kidding! Mingsha Tourism truly is generous; elsewhere, such a package could easily start at a million.”
“If this is considered fraudulent spending, then it’s just outrageous!”
“Absolutely!”
“Damn, there are so many rich folks in our country! I just called Mingsha Tourism, and a client said that the top-tier package for seven days later is already booked—and even the eighth day is gone.”
“That soon?”
“They say six days later is considered a lucky day.”
“Whether we can afford this top-tier package is another matter. But witnessing a real wedding at Mingsha would be a unique experience in the entire country.”
“Right, right! I was thinking the same—traveling to Mingsha now comes with an extra attraction.”
“Indeed!”
Hangzhou
The influential vlogger and his assistant stared at the live broadcast, their prior swagger replaced by a gloomy, speechless demeanor.
“Mingsha Tourism actually planted so many trees this year! And they even unveiled the Wan Gong Sedan Chair.”
Wu Nan furrowed his brows hard—he was completely at a loss for words.
Especially when Zhu Qiang from Mingsha Tourism remarked that the vlogger should ask Dino Park in Haishi how many trees they plant in a year, leaving him too stunned to reply.
Even the viewers’ mentions were completely ignored.
What a joke.
Who would dare challenge Dino Park?
When Luo Peng mentioned the Wan Gong Sedan Chair, Wu Nan realized he had finally encountered serious trouble. A glance at the sedan chair costs over a hundred bucks, and a wedding ride is priceless—it’s beyond money at this point.
Ding Dong. Just as Wu Nan sighed and was about to speak to his assistant, his phone rang.
He picked it up, glanced at his assistant, then moved to another room to answer. “Mr. Chen.”
“Stunned, aren’t you? I told you not to mess with Mingsha Tourism. Now look at you—getting your face slapped around. Even the head of Dino Park called earlier, saying you’re actually targeting them!”
As soon as the call connected, a near-roaring voice boomed through the receiver.
“Dino Park? How could I possibly target them?”
Wu Nan felt a wave of embarrassment.
“Many netizens have already flooded Dino Park’s website, demanding that they follow Mingsha Tourism’s lead—first plant trees, then set off fireworks. This will undoubtedly take a lot of effort. Aren’t you just making things worse?”
The other party launched into a string of insults.
“Who would’ve thought Mingsha Tourism would make a fuss over planting trees.”
Wu Nan muttered under his breath.
“Come on, man, get it straight. You were the one who complained about fireworks polluting the environment, so of course they’ll retort with tree planting. And I told you, yet you insist on fixating on that thirty-thousand wedding package!”
And what was the result? A classic case of failing miserably—giving Mingsha Tourism free advertising!
“So, Mr. Chen, what do we do now?”
At that point, Wu Nan took a deep breath. With things in this state, he could only face the consequences.
“What now? With Mingsha Tourism’s nature, a lawsuit is probably already on its way.”
“A lawsuit? Given the public pressure these days, it probably won’t happen anytime soon.”
Wu Nan was momentarily stunned.
“You idiot, did you really think Mingsha Tourism’s silence means they’re unprepared? I’m telling you, that jerk is devious. Just wait until your Weibo likes and shares hit the ceiling, then they’ll lock down evidence and sue you.”
On the other end, the call erupted in profanity.
“Huh?”
At that, Wu Nan was utterly dumbfounded—those words shattered his understanding. So devious?
“Mr. Chen, then…”
“Enough talking. Go find a lawyer and prepare to pay damages—all compensation falls on you. If you can’t pay, you might end up behind bars. Don’t believe me? Just look up the lawyer Mingsha Tourism hired.”
“I alone will bear it, Mr. Chen. Please, no.”
Wu Nan grew desperate, but before he could say any more, the line went dead.
“What…”
Staring at the dark phone, Wu Nan’s face turned extremely grim.
But a few minutes later, Wu Nan seemed to have an idea and quickly regained his composure. “If it’s just about paying damages, it’s not unsolvable. I could always pitch a crowdfunding campaign to my 4+ million loyal fans—everyone chipping in a dollar should easily raise four million.”
An hour later, Mingsha Tourism’s press conference was over, but the live broadcast continued as Luo Peng led the media to the spot where the Wan Gong Sedan Chair was parked.
Ning’an County, Ning An Cultural Tourism
Qi Haoyong watched the live stream, his expression growing increasingly grave.
“This winter, Mingsha Tourism will have no shortage of revenue and visitors!”
After a long pause,
Qi Haoyong leaned back slowly and lit a cigarette.
Marriage is one of life’s biggest events—cherished by everyone, especially the local tycoons.
Even though the northwestern winter isn’t ideal, compared to a top-notch marvel like the Wan Gong Sedan Chair, the environment hardly matters—they crave prestige, and Mingsha Tourism delivers exactly that!
Moreover, with the ancient buildings provided by Mingsha Tourism as a backdrop—so long as there isn’t a sandstorm—the setting isn’t as bleak as it might seem.
A wedding package costs 300,000, and with additional spending by the guests, just one top-tier booking can match nearly half a month’s winter revenue.
“Mingsha Tourism’s business strategy is unparalleled—even in winter, they stir up huge buzz. Competitors simply can’t replicate such events! And knowing their nature, another lawsuit and hefty net gains are certainly on the horizon!”
After finishing his cigarette, Qi Haoyong leaned back once more.
When he heard Wu Nan provoke Mingsha Tourism and trend on social media, Qi Haoyong was sure Wu Nan was done for—but he still couldn’t wait to see Mingsha Tourism’s counterattack.
The more he watched, the more disheartening it became! The more revenue Mingsha Tourism raked in, the more they invested in the desert. Better infrastructure meant more tourists—it was unstoppable! “We can’t wait any longer over the Long Kingdom Film Festival. If we don’t act now, things will only get better for them, and even the Director Association might buckle under the pressure, handing over the festival rights to Mingsha. How are we supposed to survive in Ning’an next year if that happens?”
After a moment’s thought, Qi Haoyong took a deep breath and immediately dialed a number.
Beep beep beep—as soon as the call connected.
“Mr. Qi, what’s wrong?”
As soon as the call connected, a middle-aged man’s voice came through.
“Boss, I’d like to inquire about the 35th Long Kingdom Film Festival venue. Haven’t you heard that this year’s festival is set for the West?”
Qi Haoyong responded quickly,
“Oh, yes, that’s true. However, the festival preparations haven’t officially begun yet.”
The man hesitated and said,
“Boss, I know, but isn’t this a chance to secure an advantage for our film city? Early preparation will ensure nothing goes wrong.”
“That urgent? Mr. Qi, there aren’t many film cities in the West—the biggest is yours! Odds are, the deal will land with you in the end.”
After a pause, the man replied,
“Sigh, Boss, you don’t know—this year in the West, Mingsha Tourism suddenly emerged. Although it’s marketed as a guesthouse and tourism area, its urban development rivals any film city. With historical sites backing it up, plus non-stop winter activities, I’m worried the place will transform dramatically by winter’s end.”
Qi Haoyong chuckled bitterly.
“They can even build infrastructure in winter?”
The man was utterly astonished.
“Other companies can’t do it, but Mingsha Tourism never sticks to the rules!”
“If that’s the case, come to Yan City tomorrow. I’ll show you around and get this sorted out as soon as possible.”
“Alright, thank you, Boss!”
