Chapter 652 The Wedding of the Century and the National Dad
On November 11, the eldest son of the Huo family married the diving queen.
This couple is considered a relatively well-known couple in the country. They have been photographed and reported by various media since the beginning of their relationship. Over the years, their popularity is no less than that of the top celebrities.
The outside world has also been paying close attention to this wealthy family's wedding of the century, especially many people on the Internet are paying attention to the discussion, and the popularity is no less than that of several big-name celebrities who got married in the past two years.
This is just attention. In terms of the size and appearance of the wedding, the most well-known wedding in the past two years may only be surpassed by the wedding of Prince William of the UK last year.
Many people in the original time and space compared the weddings of later celebrities with this one, but there is really no comparison.
Celebrity weddings may be more expensive or grander, and the wedding gifts may be more luxurious, but the guests present are really not on the same level.
Cheng Long, Liu Tianwang, Fa Ge and others are at least the finale at a celebrity wedding, and they can only be ordinary guests here.
Cao Xuan also got an invitation and was even one of the best men.
He has a very good relationship with Mr. Huo. Every time he comes to Xiangjiang, or the latter goes to the capital, they get together whenever they have time.
For this wedding, Mr. Huo specifically called Cao Xuan to ask if he had time to be the best man. Cao Xuan postponed the album work for a week and flew to Xiangjiang to help.
The wedding was divided into several rounds. First, the registration ceremony was held at the Huo Family Sassoon Road Mansion, and then the wedding was held at the Huo Family Hotel. It was held semi-publicly, so almost the entire Hong Kong, as well as the media from the mainland and Taiwan Province came.
Cao Xuan stood on the second floor and took a quick look. In addition to security, there were reporters. The flashing lights were clicking, and the only thing missing was the red carpet, which was the Academy Awards ceremony.
Well, there may not even be that many people at the Academy Awards ceremony...
There were several groomsmen, but the main groomsman was Young Master Huo's younger brother, Young Master Huo. This well-known one had a relationship with International Zhang.
There was an eight-year age difference between Cao Xuan and him, and they were not very familiar with each other. They would push him for interviews or photo shoots, and he would talk to a few big shots.
Speaking of which, Cao Xuan, the best man, helps the groom take care of many big shots to a certain extent.
The other few people are not of high quality, only Huo Ershao can rely on his biological brothers, and besides that, Cao Xuan.
In terms of wealth, Cao Xuan is a super rich man, and his net worth is not much worse than that of the richest man Li Huanggua. There are really few wealthy families in this group who are richer than him.
In terms of fame, he is an international superstar + a Chinese national treasure artist, and the Prince of Kuwait and the Prince of Jordan also have to give up their respect.
In terms of status, he is a serious member of the two major congresses, China's business card for foreign exchanges, and a representative of emerging entrepreneurs from the mainland. Although he is not as good as these feudal officials, he cannot be taken lightly.
When other groomsmen met these big guys, they only acted as juniors and pretended to be grandsons. Cao Xuan could not say that he was an equal, but he was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Cao Sheng is a few years older than he was just now. Doesn't he have any plans to start a family?"
Boss He from the Macao market asked with great interest. Cao Xuan smiled and said, "I am accustomed to ambition and don't want to get married."
"I also loved playing when I was young, but I didn't delay starting a family. After all, a man still has to have a home and have children."
Boss He, who was sitting in a wheelchair, looked like someone who had come before him. Then he suddenly blinked and said, "I have a daughter. Do you want to introduce me to her?"
"Miss He? This...isn't appropriate."
Cao Xuan was a little confused. He and Miss He knew each other and almost had a bad relationship.
About ten years ago, King Cao Dayian, who was very popular in Asia, came to Xiangjiang to film a movie. He met Miss He Da after being introduced. They had a good impression of him and felt that he was a bit similar to his first love. Later, he asked Cao Xuan to hang out twice.
It can't be said that it's a pursuit. Miss He understands and plans to pay 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars every month to let Cao Xuan accompany her to relieve her loneliness.
At that time, 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars per month was quite a lot. Many top-tier and distant film producers could not reach this level of salary, not to mention that the shelf life of stars was not long. If they succeeded in becoming a star, they would become a phoenix.
If it were another artist, I dare not say that she would have followed them all, but she would probably have hesitated. Unfortunately, she met Cao Xuan.
At that time, Boss Cao had just held up his trousers with a certain Korean eldest princess and refused to recognize anyone. He was not interested in the wealthy older sister of the same style, let alone marrying him.
Although Cao Xuan sometimes joked about his bad teeth, he would not feel honored if such a thing happened, so he showed Miss He his bank balance at that time.
At that time, Cao Xuan had not yet fully emerged, but fortunately there was a "Legend of Hot Blood", and he had plenty of cash. Plus miscellaneous funds, there were hundreds of millions on the books at that time.
It’s hard to say he’s a great guy, but he’s not like working as a coolie...
Miss He also understood what he meant and talked about it again later. Cao Xuan never told anyone else.
If he remembered correctly, Miss He was 13 years older than him, and she was already 50 this year. Whether they were suitable or not, it was difficult enough to have a child.
"It's not Arjun, it's my little daughter. She is 21 years old and has just graduated from the UK."
Boss He explained, and then Cao Xuan responded. Boss He has four wives and two digits of children.
The ones in Hong Kong and Taiwan can basically match the number, and are even as famous as the stars, but the mainland is still a bit unfamiliar, and there are no obvious characteristics that make it impossible to match the number.
Among the children of the He family, the most famous in the early days was Miss He, who later became the richest woman in Hong Kong. After that, the younger son participated in variety shows many times and married a Victoria's Secret supermodel who fell down, so he came from behind.
This youngest daughter Cao Xuan also had a vague impression, and later she seemed to be with Dou Yao from "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree".
This Miss He is quite pretty, a bit like a low-end version of Gillian, and is called "the most demanding (most upright) daughter in the city" by the Hong Kong media.
Cao Xuan also didn't expect that he would be valued by Boss He as his son-in-law, but he really didn't have this idea.
"He Sheng, thank you for your love, but I didn't make it clear just now. Although I am not married, I have a girlfriend and children, but I have not disclosed them to the public. I am rich, talented and beautiful. Unfortunately, I am not so lucky."
"It's okay, I didn't figure it out."
The two live in two places, and there is a big age difference between them. They have little intersection and do not know much about each other. Cao Xuan also attaches great importance to confidentiality. Although there are rumors about personal privacy issues, they are not closed to death.
As a result, Boss He failed to understand the situation and made a small mistake, but he was still a little disappointed.
Boss He is really optimistic about Cao Xuan.
Starting from scratch, he built such a family business in his thirties, and became internationally famous and had a transcendent status. There are several in the younger generation who are as outstanding as Cao Xuan.
He is over ninety years old and in poor health. Although the eldest daughter has good abilities, there are too many grievances within the He family. He can still suppress it. When he leaves in the future, the family may be torn apart.
Cao Xuan is rich and talented, and his character is well-known. He is a good home for his little daughter. If they get married, he can help the He family at a critical moment.
As for what is wrong with his life style, it doesn't matter to Boss He at all. He had more fun than Cao Xuanhua in his early years.
However, Cao Xuan now has a young family. No matter how optimistic Boss He is, he can't shamelessly let his daughter become a stepmother. The He family cannot afford to disgrace this person.
After chatting for a few words, Boss He left gloomily, and Cao Xuan also couldn't laugh or cry.
Speaking of which, although Boss Cao is also a man of great influence, there are not many established wealthy families who want him to be their son-in-law.
On the one hand, Cao Xuan's rise was too short, and his background was still shallow, and everyone was not in the same league. Also, he was afraid of attracting wolves into the house, and the younger generations in the family would not live up to expectations, so he would take the surname Cao after decades of building up his foundation.
If the He family didn't have Miss He in charge, Boss He would never dare to ask Cao Xuan as his son-in-law.
But with Miss He, there is no problem in preserving the foundation of the He family. Considering that many of the He family's industries are a bit sensitive, the companies under Cao Xuan's name are thriving and full of potential, so they may not touch these industries.
Cao Xuan doesn't need any financial resources, and he is a celebrity. He pays attention to reputation, and his appearance will not be too ugly. At most, he can help his younger daughter gain some assets and status.
As for Boss He, no matter how much the little daughter takes, she is still part of the He family, which is equivalent to rotten meat in the pot.
Although there is a certain risk, it is still worth the gamble to get a strong support.
If he wins the bet, he will have the eldest daughter in the second house, Cao Xuan in the third house, and the fourth wife in the fourth house. If he leaves some pension money for the eldest house, he will be worry-free.
Boss He left in disappointment, and Cao Xuan didn't take it to heart. Not to mention that he didn't need to be with a wealthy family, he just wanted to marry a wealthy family, and there was still a Samsung in South Korea.
In terms of assets, status and influence, the Li family completely beats the He family...
The wedding started to take place. To be honest, it was a bit neither Chinese nor foreign. It had some Chinese traditions from the older generation, but also had various Western-style ceremonies. It was very fragrant.
At the end of the ceremony, we headed to the Xiangjiang Convention and Exhibition Center for the last round and officially started eating.
The wedding banquet was hosted by a top chef in Hong Kong, and a total of 300 tables were served. Each table cost an average of 8,000 yuan, and that was just food expenses, venue fees, souvenirs, performances and other miscellaneous expenses. Hong Kong media found out what the Huo family had to spend. A budget of 15 million was used to hold the wedding.
This is just the cost of the wedding. Mr. Huo also bought a 10 million diamond ring for the Diving Queen, as well as a betrothal gift. According to online rumors, it is 11 million in cash plus a courtyard house in Beijing.
It is said that this courtyard house is said to be less than 1,000 meters away from the Forbidden City.
Cao Xuan has two houses with similar locations. He specifically asked the Empress of the West Palace. The current market price is about 250 to 300 million, but the area of his two houses is a little larger than the Huo family's house. It is estimated that the Huo family's house is cheaper.
But this is enough to make the outside world envious.
Not to mention, in the wedding banquet speech, the head of the Huo family publicly thanked the Diving Queen for marrying him. This was a great honor, and even Cao Xuan admired her.
The world champion is very impressive, and the diving queen is even more unique, but if you want to say that the Huo family is so high, then you really don’t know the energy of the Huo family.
Apart from other things, the scene when Mr. Huo left was a rare event in the entire history of New China, and most of today’s distinguished guests were looking at the Huo family’s face.
The marriage of the Diving Queen is talked about by countless people, not because of the size of the wedding scene, but because the couple themselves strive for success, and the Huo family is very particular about it, creating a model of free love marriage for modern wealthy families.
In contrast, few people who marry into wealthy families can get such attention from their husbands' families, let alone free love.
Women are envious of it, and men also feel that it is done openly.
Boss Cao is ready to take notes. He will not get married in this life, but it will be useful for his son to get a wife in the future.
In addition to the bride price and the bride and groom themselves. What outsiders pay more attention to is the seating arrangement.
This is more important in China. Only when you are at the head table are you the most respected guest. There are many bigwigs gathered, and the outside world wants to see who is higher and who is lower.
The Huo family wedding uses a double main table. The first main table entertains distinguished guests, and the second main table is used for relatives and friends.
According to the arrangements of the Huo family, Cao Xuan was to sit at the head of the table. He was well-known and well-known, and he was also the best man representative. Wu Minxia, the Diving Queen's bridesmaid, sat at the head of the table.
However, Cao Xuan declined politely, but he felt that it was too restrictive. He had to eat and enjoy himself, sit at the head table, and he had to take care of the bosses or elders, and the relationship between some of them was a bit complicated.
The best man's work had been done before, and Cao Xuan didn't want to work overtime even after dinner.
So I gave the best man seat at the head table to Huo Ershao, and didn't even sit at the second head table. I sat at a special table with several groomsmen and ate happily, comfortably and relaxedly.
As a result, there was a commotion just because of this concession.
Before the wedding was over, Hong Kong media took the lead in posting a picture of the guests at the head table, asking why there were no parents of the Diving Queen. Where were Cao Xuan and Li Huanggua?
The Hong Kong media was actually quite restrained this time. After all, the Huo family was involved, and there were several Hong Kong bigwigs, so they didn't dare to be too pretentious.
The mainland Internet side was more bold and started to push directly.
"Cao Xuan, the richest man, and the gambling king are not qualified to attend, how big is the Huo family's wedding?"
"The Wedding of the Century, the Neglected King Cao"
"Amazing list, a sneak peek of the Huo family's wedding"
"..."
This news was too gimmicky. One of the richest men in Asia, the other the head of an established wealthy family, and an emerging world superstar and a super rich man did not even make it to the main table, which directly caused a crazy discussion.
The famous Cao Hei and Internet writer Pang Yidian spoke out again after a long time, wildly mocking Cao Xuan on Sina Weibo.
"Reveal your true colors, what kind of super rich man, comparable to the richest man, is actually just a white glove introduced by others, an actor, no one really cares about him."
There are many similar speeches. Boss Cao has been so popular in the past two years, and many people are unhappy with him. When he finally gets an opportunity, he can't sleep at night unless he goes to death.
And many people who don't know the truth have been led to believe that Cao Xuan is really a piece of trash and can't stand on the stage.
On the contrary, Mr. Wang, who loves surfing, couldn't stand it and angrily complained about sunspots on Weibo.
"Read more books when you have time. Don't talk about conspiracy theories every day. Use your brain before speaking. Whose white gloves are not hidden and tucked in? Choose a world superstar, it's just a seat. Not everyone takes this as a golden rule."
Mr. Wang's speech did not save the situation. The negative fans said that he was just trying to gain popularity, while Cao Xuan was clearly not qualified and said he didn't care. It was so frustrating.
At the critical moment, Mr. Huo stood up and accepted an interview to clarify the matter.
First of all, the parents of the Diving Queen did not sit at the main table. This was because most of the main tables spoke English or Cantonese, and their parents did not understand them well, so they sat at the second main table and arranged for someone to accompany them.
As for Cao Xuan, Li Huanggua and Boss He, everything happened for a reason.
Li Huanggua himself only showed up at the wedding and did not attend the third wedding banquet at all. The reason was that there might be some taboos and it would be inconvenient to attend.
Of course, this is just an excuse. There may be some taboos or rules, but more importantly, the relationship between the Li and Huo families is not that good, and they are not the same people.
The eldest son and grandson of the Huo family are getting married. For the sake of old friendship, they come over to support the marriage and there is no need to sit and eat together.
Although Li Huanggua is not a good person, his status is here. If he really attends a wedding, how can he not miss the main table?
In the same way, Boss He is also an old boss, and has a very good relationship with the Huo family. In the early years, he was even considered a member of the family who took advantage of the situation or came from the old age. Although he is not a retainer as many people say, he can still be regarded as a member of the same family.
However, the relationship became distant later, but the love remained here. When the original boss He passed away, the entire Huo family came to pay their respects and say goodbye.
If Boss He were here, he would be able to sit at the head table just because of his seniority, regardless of his status.
The reason why I didn't attend the table was because of my poor health, so the Huo family specially arranged for another place to be accommodated.
As for Cao Xuan, Young Master Huo also bluntly said that Cao Xuan was not unqualified, but rather kept a low profile, and even took out the initial banquet list.
The guest at the head table was named Cao Xuan, but was later replaced by Mr. Huo.
Young Master Huo's clarification swollen the faces of countless black people, and Cao Xuan's fans also mobilized to repay the original ridicule.
Young Master Wang's guess was correct, and he started shouting crazily, chasing and scolding the gang of black fans, which made him feel proud.
Many fans also took the opportunity to make silly remarks and asked how much money Cao Xuan had.
This topic has been popular for a long time, and there are many so-called insiders who broke the news, but the numbers are too different, and it is not clear whether it is true or not, so everyone plans to ask Mr. Wang.
After all, Lao Wang is now among the top ten richest people. In this regard, Mr. Wang's words are still valuable.
In 2012, showing off wealth was still popular in China, and the rich were more successful than the other. Mr. Wang didn’t think much about it and directly replied on Weibo.
“I don’t know exactly how much, but it’s definitely richer than my old man.”
With this opening, the careless young master Wang got excited and revealed many things about Cao Xuan that the outside world did not understand.
"He particularly likes courtyard houses. He bought dozens of them and opened them up. There are running tracks, gardens and swimming pools in the courtyard. They are nicknamed the Little Forbidden City."
"I usually like horse riding, playing football and fishing. There is a horse farm on the outskirts of Beijing, where I have several horses. The most expensive one is worth over 100 million."
"Acting is really a hobby, and the remuneration is just pocket money."
"..."
If Weibo hadn't reacted quickly and immediately banned the comment, then contacted Cao Xuan and called him to shut up, maybe this guy could have revealed something to Cao Xuan.
It is no exaggeration to say that Cao Xuan was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. This guy said whatever he said.
No matter how small the Forbidden City is, he always wonders if he has offended Lao Wang. This is because he hates himself to death.
But when I turned around and thought again, with Young Master Wang's character, it was not an exaggeration to do such a thing.
Young and frivolous, he fought for three days and three nights in the end of the world for a female internet celebrity; publicly dissed his own hotel; was exposed as a dog licker; posted various bombshells on Weibo...
How should I put it? Sometimes he is so shrewd that people wonder if he is deliberately marketing, but sometimes he is stupid, which makes people think that this person is out of his mind and jumps back and forth between the elite and the loser. Particularly divisive.
Not to mention breaking the news about Cao Xuan, it wouldn't be a weird thing if his biological father's background was exposed one day.
Although Mr. Wang was silenced, his replies were quite popular and appeared on several hot searches.
The top management of Weibo wanted to directly remove the hot search and then delete all relevant Weibo posts, but Cao Xuan stopped him. This is not because there is no silver in this place, and he is really treating netizens as fools.
After thinking about it, he made a simple response on Weibo.
[The real estate investment of the Siheyuan Department has not reached the level of a small Forbidden City. It is an ordinary private house with certain rectifications as permitted by law.
The racecourse is a personal hobby, with only one Arabian horse. In 2007, I went to the Middle East for a concert, and a local friend got half of it from sale and half from it, so the value is limited]
Cao Xuan's response was forwarded by Mr. Wang.
The latter deleted all his previous replies, saying that he was just hearing about it and the words he used were exaggerated, and then solemnly apologized to Cao Xuan.
Although the two of them seemed to be working well together, Boss Cao was still forced to reveal his wealth.
If it were ten years later, Cao Xuan would have been labeled a vampire capitalist, but now, the times and environment are different, and the Internet is still dominated by flattery.
In particular, courtyard houses have attracted a lot of attention. With the increase in housing prices in the past two years, courtyard houses in Beijing have become a hot topic. Dozens of them are simply unimaginable.
[Siheyuan=ordinary private house]
[I just took a look at Du Niang, Arabian horses are bloody horses, each one costs millions to tens of millions]
[I still believe Mr. Wang more, Cao Xuan is definitely pretending to be poor]
[Damn, I really want to pretend to be poor like this]
[Anonymous broke the news that the Little Forbidden City may be an exaggeration, but it is indeed dozens of courtyard houses, directly covering the entire hutong. Many people in the circle know it, nicknamed Caojia Hutong]
[My friend has been there, so I won’t introduce what he did for fear of being guessed. I didn’t see the swimming pool, but the garden and track are real]
[Boss Cao, my appearance is not bad, just accept me and give me a courtyard house]
[Can you please stop being so stubborn about your gender? I am a male and I also want a courtyard house]
[I don’t want a courtyard, but I like riding horses]
[If you don’t like me, you can accept me as your daughter.]
[Dad, my Dad Cao]
[Dad +1]
[Aren’t you disgusting? You have no backbone at all. Bah, you actually robbed my father]
【……】
Before Boss Cao became a national husband, he became a national father, but Cao Xuan didn't want this title at all.
Jack Ma also had sons and daughters all over the world back then, and he was the one who was scolded the most. Cao Xuan had his own sons and daughters, but he didn’t want to recognize so many relatives...

ps: The women’s basketball team is awesome and I rarely watch basketball. The last two minutes of today’s game against Australia made me feel the suffocation of a football penalty shootout...
