In 1992, a small village owner became the richest man in the village by owning a car.

Chapter 500 I admire you greatly.
The wedding proceeded as planned, with Yu Dawei in charge of coordination. When he noticed that the bride's family seemed to look down on the Yu family, Yu Dawei brought out Yao Jinfu, who was then easily defeated, and the next person was moved on.

Axe was also quite capable. He arrived in a flurry because there were two excavators working in the oil city, and after drinking, he still had to continue supervising and inspecting the work.

Coming to Dawei's place for a drink was just a side trip.

Wang Guizhi's father, Wang Tianbao, also noticed that Hou Wanqiang seemed to have something on his mind, so he had to ask his eldest nephew to take the blame. Later, Yu Dawei explained that his second uncle did indeed have some urgent matters to attend to.

Wang Tianbao didn't put on airs and helped maintain the atmosphere at the meeting.

Ultimately, with the couple working together seamlessly, both the groom and bride were well taken care of, and the wedding concluded in a relatively joyful atmosphere.

The elderly couple didn't lose face this time. Yu Dawei directly gave them a 20,000 yuan wallet as a "change of address" fee, giving 10,000 yuan each to their future daughter-in-law.

The elderly couple had painstakingly prepared a thousand yuan as a "change of address" fee, but they didn't take it out.

They could clearly see that the woman's family was quite powerful, and everyone in the oil city seemed to hold a relatively important position.

Finally, it was time for the parents' speeches. Originally, it was supposed to be the second uncle's turn to speak, but Yu Dawei knew that the second uncle would definitely have something to do and couldn't come, so he asked Han Jingfan to write a speech and had the uncle memorize it perfectly.

The old man went to great lengths for his youngest son. In Laotun, he would memorize it once in the morning, once before going to bed at night, and he kept memorizing it on the way.

It was only five hundred words long, but it still put a lot of pressure on the old man.

Yu Dawei thought that even if the old man recited his speech perfectly, he would still stammer and feel nervous in front of hundreds of people.

But to everyone's surprise, the old man's spirit changed completely when he stood on the stage, and he began to passionately tell a story that had nothing to do with the script he had memorized...

Yes, it's a story, not an accident.

Yu Dawei's past life was full of boasting and storytelling, largely because he inherited his grandfather Yu Chen's mantle.

Although there were some unexpected events, the old man still has the skill to finish the baskets well. He started by wishing the newlyweds well and ended by wishing them well.

As for the stories that have nothing to do with the newcomers, let them be irrelevant; no one will care anyway.

After the wedding, Wang Tianbao took the initiative to chat with Yu Dawei for a few minutes in the courtyard behind the hotel, where there were not many people around.

But Yu Dawei was deeply impressed by the poplar-lined path next to him because it was beautiful, and there were all sorts of small flowers under the trees, including sunflowers, his mother's favorite flower.

"Want a cigarette?" Wang Tianbao offered a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes, but Yu Dawei politely declined. He wasn't annoyed, just smiled faintly, "I have to thank you and your wife for making today's wedding so successful."

“Uncle, you’re being too polite. We’re all family now,” Yu Dawei replied with a smile.

Unexpectedly, Wang Tianbao's eyes suddenly turned cold as he looked into the distance: "To be honest, when I first arrived at the venue this morning, I didn't want to have anything to do with your Yu family, let alone be family."

“Yu Dafu is a scheming man. He has ulterior motives for being with my daughter. I’m not blind; I can see that.” Wang Tianbao seemed to be harboring a lot of resentment. He lit his Zippo lighter. “If I didn’t want my daughter to be too heartbroken, I would never have let her marry Yu Dafu, and I would never have watched her suffer.”

Wang Tianbao emphasized the words "wronged," indicating that he had probably already guessed why his daughter had suddenly disappeared the day before the wedding.

After all, he knew his daughter's personality all too well. She was a kind and tolerant child. If she hadn't encountered a difficult situation, why would she suddenly disappear?

"I'm sorry, Uncle." Yu Dawei understood that this father must have guessed something. Right now, he could only be more sincere and humble. He turned to Wang Tianbao and said, "My brother had impure motives before, but he did fall in love with your daughter during the process of getting to know her. That's why he suddenly asked me for 100,000 yuan a few days ago to pay off his debts in Hohhot and then tell your daughter everything on equal terms."

"I think if he didn't love her too much, he wouldn't have risked not being able to get married by telling Guizhi about this," Yu Dawei added, his eyes sincere.

Wang Tianbao finally connected all the causes and consequences, and his emotions and attitude softened considerably, although this was not the case for Dawei.

Someone who could rise to a powerful position in the oil city would surely see through the intricacies of the situation. Looking at Yu Dawei again, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"The Hou brothers have a good nephew. I heard you're in the car business? And you even have your own repair company."

"Yes, I own a few cars and a small factory." Yu Dawei felt relieved. The fact that the other party was able to change the subject meant that their resentment had definitely lessened.

"Hehe, raising all kinds of construction vehicles is actually quite a booming business right now." Wang Tianbao took a puff of his cigarette, his tone indifferent. "But as more and more people in China come to take a slice of this big cake, it will eventually run out of food."

Wang Tianbao looked towards the back gate of the hotel courtyard, his gaze stretching into the distance, as if he could see through this era to what the future would look like after the large-scale infrastructure construction was completed. "Yes." Yu Dawei felt that the other party was giving him some pointers, and he didn't hold back on sharing some of his plans, "China may be very large, but its infrastructure construction speed is not slow. In addition, with more and more people participating in the future, it will definitely reach saturation, and the machinery will become useless."

"However, the development in China will definitely be slower than in other remote areas abroad. After completing the domestic operations, we can move on to overseas markets as a fallback option."

Wang Tianbao, who was standing next to Yu Dawei, was taken aback when he heard this. Then, he stared at Yu Dawei with bright eyes, his eyes full of surprise and admiration.

"Beep beep!" Just then, a black minivan stopped next to the two of them, and a black window slowly rolled down, revealing a face that looked six or seven parts like Wang Guizhi.

"Uncle, your car is here, so I won't bother you any longer." After seeing Wang Guizhi's mother, Yu Dawei didn't delay the big boss any longer.

"Okay, if you need anything in the future, feel free to come to my house anytime." Wang Tianbao gave Yu Dawei one last look before getting into his car and leaving.

But the moment he got into the car, his expression was filled with deep regret, and he murmured, "What a pity, it would be great if this kid were my son-in-law."

At his age, he understands an issue just as important as health preservation: what good is a big business if you can't succeed someone as well as him?

Clearly, Yu Dawei has the vision and ability to achieve this.

Perhaps with a little guidance and training by his side, whether it becomes a sharp knife or a powerful battle axe, he would be an absolutely outstanding successor.

"What a pity," Wang Tianbao sighed again.

He looked out the window into the distance. Life is always like this, with its ups and downs, and nine times out of ten things don't go as planned.

Fortunately, Yu Dafu's character isn't completely rotten, and with people like Hou Wanqiang and Yu Dawei as his support, he can still live a smooth life even if he doesn't take care of the couple in the future.

Wang Tianbao suddenly wanted to give it his all one last time, to make the most of the final stretch of his life and give it his all, so that he could at least do justice to his life of ups and downs.

On the other side, Yu Dawei was busy dealing with the aftermath of the wedding. His second and third uncles didn't return until after four or five in the afternoon. Both of them looked rather unhappy, as if the events of the morning hadn't been handled well.

"Second Uncle, are you all right over there?" Yu Dawei walked out of the venue and saw his second and third uncles smoking at the door, with his aunt also there.

My aunt was supposed to be there today too, but she was worried that things would escalate and harm Wanqiang, so she quickly tried to smooth things over and quell the malicious gossip in the oil city.

"It's alright. Someone jumped off the bridge. The deceased girl didn't have money for medical treatment, and the contractor downstairs wouldn't pay her. I've already paid part of it, and the contractor has been detained," Hou Wanqiang briefly explained.

In fact, construction work was the highest-paying industry in the 1990s.

Putting aside other minor issues, the workers on the tower cranes spend a month or even several months eating, drinking, and relieving themselves on the cranes, and they could easily fall from a height of forty or fifty meters.

It's all too common for people to die on construction sites. It would be rare to find a building development that hasn't had any deaths during its initial construction phase.

There's nothing we can do about the current backward infrastructure technology.

"Dawei, you did a great job today." Standing next to Hou Wanqiang, his aunt, with a cigarette between her hands, looked at Yu Dawei with a smile. "Old Wang called your second uncle on the way here and gave you a special commendation."

"Some of the cleanup work at the scene today was also done thanks to Lao Wang." Dong Mingzhu was increasingly moved as she looked at Yu Dawei.

She initially thought that Yu Dawei, with his burly and imposing appearance, must not be very bright. Who would have thought that in a poor and remote place like Luhe, he would actually make a considerable fortune?

Of course, this small family business is not enough to catch Dong Mingzhu's eye, and it is incomparable to Wan Qiang's current power. However, among the younger generation she knows, Yu Dawei is the only one who started from scratch without relying on his father's empire.

Indeed, in Dong Mingzhu's view, Yu Dawei has already started from scratch, and the future depends on how much wealth he can accumulate and how big his business can become.

The group chatted for a few more minutes, but Yu Dawei didn't stay long because he had to take the elderly couple to a hotel to rest.

Over the next two days, Yu Dawei noticed that Yu Dafu and Wang Guizhi's relationship was developing rapidly. Before leaving, Wang Guizhi thanked Yu Dawei and promised to repay the 100,000 yuan as soon as possible.

Yu Dawei didn't care. He owed a lot of favors in his past life, and now he could consider it as paying them back.

After returning home, one evening, Yu Dawei sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) in the small brick house in the factory area and made a phone call to someone.
