182: Chapter 183 The Useless Son-in-Law

Xu Tianyu looked An Xin up and down.

He didn't look like someone with a powerful background.

"The tables and chairs you mentioned... you're not talking about a university canteen, are you? Even if you could rent out a university canteen, I can't take my friends and relatives there to eat. That would be so pathetic. Move aside, don't be an eyesore in front of me."

Xu Tianyu didn't believe Anning Manor had any connections.

In order for the wedding banquet to proceed normally, Xu Tianyu had no choice but to thicken his skin and call his Father-in-law.

"Dad, this is bad. Someone booked the entire Galaxy Grand Hotel. The hotel canceled our reservation, paid the liquidated damages, and won't let us hold the banquet here. There are only two hours left until the wedding starts, and the guests are about to arrive."

"You useless trash, you can't even book a hotel properly. What good are you?"

The Father-in-law cursed at Xu Tianyu for a few moments over the phone.

Then he hung up.

A tree lives for its bark, a man lives for his face.

The guests he invited were all people of status and reputation.

He couldn't let these people have nowhere to eat.

Principal Ma hurriedly took out his phone and called the boss of the Galaxy Hotel.

"Boss, my daughter is getting married today. We booked your hotel; how can your people breach the contract at a time like this? What about my guests? We've been classmates for so many years, and I chose your hotel out of old friendship. You can't do this to your old brother..."

"I don't want your guests to have nowhere to sit either, but the person who booked the whole place has an identity that is far too noble. I can't afford to offend him."

The boss of the Galaxy Hotel on the other end of the phone sighed helplessly.

The man, sensing danger, frowned.

"Old Zhang, can you give me some inside info? Who booked your hotel?"

"Sigh, I won't make it hard for you. I'll tell you the truth: the person who booked the whole place is surnamed An, a scion of the Conglong Family. His employees are coming to our hotel for a Housewarming Banquet, and those coming are all big shots. You'd better find another way to settle your guests; I wouldn't dare to cross Mr. An."

The boss of the Galaxy Hotel finished speaking and hung up.

Mr. An, Mr. An of the Conglong Family.

Old Man Ma had heard of An Xin's name.

He knew about the Mingyue Pavilion he had founded.

He was still a university student, and his entrepreneurial project, Mingyue Pavilion, had even won a gold medal in a city competition.

Thinking about the school this young man attended, Old Master Ma decided to bite the bullet and ask his friend, the principal of Jinghai University, for a favor.

He explained the predicament he faced today to the principal of Jinghai University.

The situation was urgent, so Old Master Ma didn't care about his pride anymore.

After the call connected and he heard the whole story, Principal Gao struggled to suppress a smile.

This was just too funny.

Principal Gao never expected that his rival would have no place to hold a banquet.

"Ah, I know about this. I can only do my best to communicate for you. As for whether my student can vacate some space for you, it depends on the student's own coordination. After all, his entrepreneurial project is a key project in Jinghai City. If your daughter can't get married today, you can change the date! Everything should prioritize the development of Jinghai. As the principal of a 211 University, you should have the awareness to selflessly contribute to the economic development of the Jinghai urban area."

Principal Gao directly placed a high hat on Principal Ma.

Principal Ma was choked by his words and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Old Gao, you can't just ignore this. I won't let you work for nothing. If there are teachers in our school you've had your eye on, I can coordinate and let them go over to guide your teaching work. I'll even give your school an extra postgraduate recommendation quota..."

"The students of our school strive for self-improvement; we don't need your quotas. Principal Ma, don't try to bribe me with these things. I'm an upright person. I can't use my power to suppress others!"

"Thirty postgraduate recommendation quotas, plus five quotas for external universities."

For his daughter's wedding, Principal Ma was really going all out, paying a heavy price.

This was squeezing every bit of favor and resource dry.

"I'll hang up first. I'll call Student An to talk about the development of Jinghai and see if he can do you a favor."

Principal Gao hung up and dialed An Xin's number.

"Student An, I heard you've invited guests to the Galaxy Grand Hotel? You booked the whole hotel?"

"Yes, Principal Gao. Is there something you need?"

"There really is a small matter I'd like your help with. A friend of mine is the principal of a 211 college, and his daughter is getting married at the Galaxy Grand Hotel today. They have no place for the banquet, so I wanted to ask Student An to do him a favor."

"Is his son-in-law named Xu Tianyu?"

"That's right, it's Xu Tianyu. He's the top student in their school. Do you know each other?"

"I do. Just now outside the door, I said I would help him, but he said he didn't need it. He looked down on the place I provided, thinking a school canteen was embarrassing. Principal Gao, I'm not a cold-hearted person, but I'm truly unable to help! I can't exactly press my warm face against someone's cold butt and beg them to hold their wedding in the place I booked, can I?"

An Xin's words made Principal Gao understand the situation.

He gave a dry laugh over the phone.

"Then you certainly can't press your warm face against a cold butt. Sigh, my friend has poor eyesight and must be blind; the son-in-law he found is really no good. Student An, don't feel pressured. I didn't mean anything else by calling you. If you don't want to help, then don't. There's no need to force yourself."

Principal Gao hung up and hurriedly called Xu Tianyu's Father-in-law.

Receiving the call, Principal Ma was somewhat nervous.

"How is it, Old Gao? Is Student An willing to help?"

"He was quite willing to help. He communicated with your good son-in-law before you even found me. He proactively offered to provide a wedding venue, but your good son-in-law rejected him, even looking down on the place he provided as a 'shabby canteen.' Just how shabby is the canteen of your 211 University that your son-in-law would use that word to insult someone?"

Principal Gao's words made Principal Ma flush with shame.

The expression on his face was as awkward as could be.

"That... it's all a misunderstanding. It's Xu Tianyu being immature. Could you please help me contact Mr. An? I want to apologize to him in person."

"Mr. An is right there at the Galaxy Grand Hotel. If you want to find him, you can ask the hotel manager to call him for you. Don't bother me; I can't afford to lose face like this."

After Principal Gao finished, he hung up, not giving Principal Ma any time to react.

After hanging up, Principal Gao took a handful of sunflower seeds from his drawer and started cracking them, hurriedly sharing the gossip he had just heard with the education circle.

"Holy crap, is this for real? Principal Ma's daughter is getting married and has no place for the banquet. That's so embarrassing!"

"Who is Principal Ma's son-in-law? He's such a loser."

"He's already a matrilocal son-in-law; what kind of ability could a man like that have? Only Principal Ma's love-struck daughter would treat such trash as a treasure. If my daughter dared to find such a loser, I'd break her legs!"

"Sigh! A family misfortune! A family misfortune indeed!"

"I'm truly speechless. Even a man like that can get married."
