How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?

"Next, let’s invite the three best men of today, also the groom’s best buddies, to come up and give their blessings to the newlyweds!"

Gu Heng, Li Haibin, and Song Hua, who were waiting on the side, exchanged glances, straightened their best men suits, and walked up shoulder to shoulder.

Seeing the three men take the stage, the host immediately stood by their side, jokingly saying, "No wonder when I saw the groom backstage earlier, I thought he was a handsome guy. Turns out all his brothers are also heartthrobs."

He then held the microphone toward Song Hua, who was closest to him, and said, "As the groom’s brothers, you must be the happiest for him on this joyous special day. Is there anything you would like to wish him?"

Even though the audience was filled with familiar faces, Song Hua still felt a bit shy and scratched the back of his head, saying, "I wish him a harmonious marriage and hopes he has a child soon."

After finishing, he stepped back...

The host still had the microphone raised, and not hearing a follow-up, he pulled it back asking, "That’s it?"

"That’s it..."

"Well, it seems this best man isn’t very close to the groom, just a couple of sentences."

A wave of friendly laughter went through the crowd.

The host made a quick joke to liven up the atmosphere before continuing, "The first best man was quite shy; let’s see if the second best man has more to say to the groom. Otherwise, this segment will end too quickly, and the groom might say I did a poor job hosting—it might even cost me my salary."

With that, he held the microphone toward Li Haibin...

Li Haibin was much more solemn...

"I wish my brother Li Feng and his bride Zhao Fang a life of happiness together, hearts united forever; may they harmonize like the strings of a lute, a century of bliss..."

A series of customary well-wishes spilled from his mouth, lasting well over a minute...

The host’s role was to adjust the mood of the venue. After confirming Li Haibin was finished, he brought the microphone to his own mouth and laughed, "This best man did quite well; it looks like he must have memorized his speech, a long string of blessings that even I couldn’t say so fluently.

Not only did he pour out blessings for the newlyweds, but he also saved my salary."

"Now let’s hear from the last best man, and then we’ll invite our newlyweds to make their entrance!"

As he spoke, he prepared to hand the microphone to Gu Heng, but Gu Heng took it directly, smiling as he began to speak, "Many years ago, us buddies—Fengzi, Haibin, Xiaohua—made a promise that no matter what happened in the future, anyone of us getting married couldn’t do it without the others present.

We managed that.

As for blessings, well, Haibin has already said all I could think of, so I won’t repeat all that.

Next, I want to give a special blessing to the bride and groom! Fengzi, come on out!"

Li Feng and Zhao Fang, who had already put on her wedding gown, exchanged glances and then walked out from backstage...

Li Feng knew Gu Heng too well...

If he said he was giving himself a special surprise, it could only mean one thing...

He was going to pull off a big one...

Seeing Li Feng and Zhao Fang take the stage, the host tried to take back the microphone from Gu Heng’s hand, but unexpectedly, Gu Heng pushed his hand away...

Host: "???"

Was he here to steal my job?

Gu Heng, holding the microphone, turned to Li Feng, who was in a dapper suit, and said, "Looking sharp today!"

Li Feng didn’t speak; he just walked up to Gu Heng and hugged him.

Li Haibin and Song Hua glanced at each other, quickly joining in... Explore stories at empire

The four men huddled together, much like when they were 18, playing basketball on the field, winning against the tall guys from the next class by a slim margin...

"A few days ago, I was thinking about how I could give you a wedding to remember.

I rejected many plans until, with Lin Ran’s reminder, I thought of a special way to make everyone remember your wedding!"

Gu Heng stepped back three paces from the group hug and, holding the microphone, shouted, "Music!"

As soon as Gu Heng gave the prearranged command, the intro to "Dust Beauty" began to play...

Li Feng, Li Haibin, and Song Hua looked at Gu Heng, still thinking he was about to sing himself...

Li Feng hastily shouted, "Hengzi, don’t do this, the thought is enough, we still have to eat later; your singing could ruin the appetite, and the meal costs over two thousand per table!"

Listening to Gu Heng howling off-key at business KTV was one thing...

But at this occasion, they really did not want to suffer through Gu Heng’s torment...

But Gu Heng paid him no heed...

As the intro grew closer, he took the microphone and began to sing...

"In June three~ by the locust shade~

To the wind in the branches the new cicadas complain~"

Gu Heng’s voice wasn’t unpleasant to hear; the reason his singing sounded bad was simply because he was tone-deaf...

Singing some ordinary pop songs was barely acceptable, but singing Xu Song’s twisty tunes was like a car crash scene...

Just as Li Feng was reluctantly accepting the situation, Gu Heng put down the microphone...

A voice a hundred times nicer than Gu Heng’s came from behind them.

Xu Song, wearing a bright red suit, holding the microphone, walked slowly from backstage...

"After the rain, the small lotuses are overturned~

Their love was ignited in that early summer~"

Seeing this figure, everyone was stunned...

Until Gu Heng, holding a microphone, turned to Li Feng with a smile, saying, "Fengzi, you’ve always said Xu Song is your favorite singer—this is the special blessing I have for you!"

"Holy shit!"

"Xu Song! Holy shit!"

"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit!" n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

A succession of holy shits erupted from the crowd...

The older folks might not know who Xu Song was...

But half of those sitting down were from the post-90s and post-2000s generations...
