Chapter 330 The Old Ox's Grandson Gets into High School; Village Collective Funds the Banquet

"Uncle Mancang!"

"This banquet must be held!"

Jiang Chen's voice, loud and firm, resounded throughout the entire courtyard!

"Not only should we do it, we should do it on a grand scale! We should do it in a spectacular way!"

Jiang Mancang was startled by Jiang Chen's sudden outburst of aura.

His wrinkled face turned bright red, and he waved his hands repeatedly, almost dropping the admission notice in his hand.

"No, no, no! Chenzi! You can't! How can I let you spend money like this!"

"I haven't even had a chance to enjoy the bonus you gave me yet, this...this won't do! Absolutely not!"

Jiang Mancang's attitude was very firm, his dark face full of resistance.

In his opinion, Jiang Chen had already helped him more than enough.

He took a 200,000 yuan bonus from someone, and now his grandson is asking that person to pay for his banquet. Where does he put his old face?

"Uncle, listen to me."

Jiang Chen pressed down on Jiang Mancang's shoulder, his eyes sincere.

"This money wasn't paid by me alone."

"What university did Xiaohu get into? China University of Science and Technology! That's one of the top universities in the country!"

"A true dragon has soared out of our Jiangjia Village! This is the pride of our entire village! The glory of the entire Jiang family!"

"This banquet should be held in the name of our 'Jiangjia Village Collective'!"

"This money can be considered a talent reward from the village collective!"

Jiang Chen's words were impeccable, giving Jiang Mancang a great deal of face while elevating the matter to a whole new level.

Jiang Mancang was stunned, his lips trembling, unable to utter a single word.

Jiang Chen didn't give him another chance to refuse. He turned around, walked out of the courtyard, and headed straight for the village committee's large broadcasting room.

He picked up the microphone, turned it on, and took a deep breath.

The next second, his clear and authoritative voice, carried by the village's ubiquitous loudspeakers, resounded to every corner!

"Attention, villagers! Attention, villagers!"

"What a wonderful piece of news! What a wonderful piece of news!"

"Jiang Xiaohu, the grandson of Jiang Mancang from our village, achieved excellent results in this year's college entrance examination and was admitted to one of the nation's top universities—Huaxia University of Science and Technology!"

"This is the first time in decades that our Jiangjia Village has produced a student from a prestigious university!"

"After deliberation by the village committee, it has been decided that, in order to commend outstanding individuals and encourage future generations, the village collective will hold an unprecedented graduation banquet for Jiang Xiaohu!"

"The time! It's the day after tomorrow at noon!"

"Location! Right in the village committee compound!"

"At that time, everyone in the village, young and old, will come to the wedding feast! No gifts will be accepted! Food and drinks will be plentiful!"

This news was like a depth charge, exploding throughout Jiangjia Village!

Those working in the fields threw down their hoes!

The people pruning in the greenhouse have stopped!

Those who carry bricks on construction sites just throw the bricks on the ground!

After three seconds of silence, the entire village erupted in chaos!

"What?! Xiao Hu got into Huaxia University of Science and Technology?!"

"My God! That's a national key university! It's a hundred times better than that lousy teachers' college!"

"Let's go! Let's hurry to Mancang's house to celebrate!"

In less than ten minutes, Jiang Mancang's already small courtyard was packed with villagers who had rushed over after hearing the news!

"Brother Mancang! Congratulations! Your family's ancestral graves are truly blessed!"

"Honest people get good rewards! Look at your little tiger, how promising he is!"

Jiang Mancang was caught off guard by this sudden turn of events. His old face beamed with a smile like a blooming chrysanthemum, and he kept repeating, "Congratulations, congratulations..."

Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction as he watched this scene.

He directly instructed Wang Dagou to lead the security team to quickly set up more than a dozen military-grade super-large sunshades in the village committee compound.

Judging by that setup, they could easily fit two hundred tables, let alone a hundred!

Just as Jiangjia Village was filled with joy and celebration.

In that once-dormant "Jiang Family" WeChat group, Jiang Jianye's sarcastic voice message resurfaced.

"laugh--"

He let out a sneer of utter disdain.

"I was wondering why there hadn't been any news for so long. Turns out they were also holding a banquet."

"A village feast? Ha! Isn't it just finding a country cook, buying a big fat pig, a few cabbages, and putting everything in a pot for a stew?"

"That stuff, even a dog wouldn't eat it! And you have the nerve to call it a graduation banquet? Don't tarnish the reputation of Huaxia University of Science and Technology!"

Immediately afterwards, he posted a photo of a magnificent private room at the Triumph Grand Hotel.

"Look at this! Now that's what you call impressive!"

"For my graduation banquet, I invited the hotel's executive chef! The food was all air-freighted sea cucumber and abalone!"

"I advise everyone to skip eating that low-class pig swill in the village. Save your appetites and come see my food the day after tomorrow!"

Several relatives of Jiang Jianye, including Liu Cuifen, immediately posted comments praising him.

"Brother Jianye is awesome! This is the style of city dwellers!"

"Exactly! Eating pig swill can't compare to the deliciousness of abalone!"

Jiang Chen looked at the group of clowns singing in unison with a cold gaze.

He didn't reply to a single word.

He simply opened the technologically advanced system store interface, which only he could see.

His fingers flew across the virtual screen.

Jiang Chen didn't even blink, and his points were spent like water flowing away.

After exchanging the money, he immediately dialed Wang Dagou's number.

"Da Gou, contact the largest cold chain logistics company in the provincial capital and have them send ten of their biggest refrigerated trucks! I've sent you the address, go pick up the goods!"

After hanging up, Jiang Chen dialed another number, which was the CEO of a company specializing in high-end private customization services that he had met through Su Tianhao's network.

"Hello, is this Mr. Zhang?"

"I need a top-notch culinary team by noon the day after tomorrow."

"My requirements aren't high: at least a Michelin three-star restaurant, and the executive chef of the Grand Hyatt Hotel in the provincial capital. I'll poach him."

"What? He's on vacation? Give him three times his salary! Make him get back to work right now!"

"By the way, I'll arrange their team's transportation."

Jiang Chen hung up the phone and reopened the system store.

After doing all this, Jiang Chen leaned back in his chair, a cold smile curving his lips.

Jiang Jianye, don't you like to show off?

Row.

I'll show you what real style is!
