Chapter 324: Side-by-Side Parties


“Mr. Tan,” Jiang Siyong greeted him reluctantly.


He still hadn’t said a single word of apology.


Jiang Jiamao knew it too, but he pretended not to know it and didn’t tell his son to apologize.


Tan Wenci laughed to himself. He didn’t need them to apologize anyway. If they had, it would be more difficult to do what he was about to do.


Tan Jinqi was facing in the wrong direction, and he didn’t see Wei Zhiqian, Qin Muye, and Ming Yeqing approaching.


But from the direction that Tan Wenci was facing, Tan Wenci could see them.


Although the father and son complained about Wei Zhiqian all the time, they both knew that Wei Zhiqian doted on Tan Mo just as much as they did.


But now, Wei Zhiqian, someone who doted on her so much, was not stepping up to do something. Obviously, he was holding out in order to do something big.


Tan Wenci didn’t want to ruin his plans.


Tan Wenci laughed and pointed to the red carpet under his feet. “Then what are we going to do about this red carpet?”


“The Tan family can use it, of course. This walkway is a public s.p.a.ce, and there is no reason that you shouldn’t be able to use it,” Jiang Jiamao said with a diplomatic smile.


Tan Wenci was not satisfied with that. He turned to the manager and asked, “Can they put a red carpet down in a public s.p.a.ce like this?”


“Doing such a thing requires approval by the hotel management.” The manager was smart, and he caught on quickly. He decided to partic.i.p.ate in Tan Wenci’s show and said, “But Mr. Jiang, we have not received a request to put down a red carpet at our hotel.”


Jiang Jiamao’s face changed, and he said coldly, “Then I will ask right now.”


Tan Wenci responded, “If the Jiang family wants to put a red carpet down, then we will as well.”


Otherwise it would seem that their own party was substandard and not as good as the Jiang party.


The manager had no wish to offend the Jiang family either. Since the Tan family wanted to put a red carpet down now too, then both of them could have their own red carpets, and there would no longer be any conflict.


The issue was finally resolved.


After the Jiang family left, the manager asked Tan Wenci quietly, “Mr. Tan, should we prepare the red carpet now?”


“If the hotel management can prepare it for us, that would be great,” Tan Wenci said with a smile.


He was planning on that anyway. Otherwise, where would he find a red carpet?


The manager nodded quickly, and then Tan Wenci told the manager quietly, “I think two red carpets put together won’t look good. You see, it’ll look detached, like pinning together two pieces of old clothing into one. Also, the hotel’s red carpet is surely different from the one that the Jiang family brought. If the two get put together, it won’t look very nice.”


The manager blinked a couple of times.


What…?


Now Tan Wenci was worried about the appearance of the Jiang family’s red carpet?


He didn’t think Tan Wenci was a person who would return a favor for boorish behavior.


The manager was thinking to himself when he heard Tan Wenci say, “Does the hotel have a red carpet that is long enough?”


“Yes, of course. Red carpets for weddings are very long. We have red carpets of all dimensions here,” the manager said.


Tan Wenci continued, “Then why don’t you change the Jiang family’s red carpet while you’re at it. We’ll just put one red carpet down. It’ll be nice and neat, and it will look better.”


“But…the Jiang family…” the manager hesitated for a moment.


Will the Jiang family be willing?


“We’re not preventing them from using a red carpet. We are just changing one. What could they object to?” Tan Wenci said nonchalantly. “If it doesn’t seem okay to you, then I’ll have my son discuss it with them.”


Tan Jinqi nodded and said, “If you are worried that they will object, then I can go ask the Jiangs right now.”


“It would be best if you could ask,” the manager said quickly.


So the manager followed Tan Jinqi, and the two of them went to find the Jiangs to discuss this.


Tan Jinqi found Jiang Siyong, and the manager told him what they were planning to do.


Jiang Siyong had just had a big fall, and, although it wasn’t huge, he had learned his lesson.


But he thought to himself, they are not using the same venue anyway, so what if the red carpet looks different?


The Tan family had a small party, but they surely were excessively needy.


But it didn’t sound like a big deal. It didn’t matter much if they changed a carpet.


The red carpet was going to be prepared by the hotel, so he didn’t worry that the Tan family would do anything with the carpet to embarra.s.s him.


Otherwise, the hotel would be held responsible for the mistake.


The hotel management would make sure things were right. So Jiang Siyong nodded and agreed, “Okay. But that’s it, right? We have already done a lot to make sure you are happy. You are the ones who did not bring a red carpet, and now we can’t even use the original red carpet that we planned on using. I’m agreeing to this, but it’s about time for you to stop asking for anything more.


After the manager heard Jiang Siyong’s reply, he had someone prepare the red carpet immediately.


Tan Jinqi, meanwhile, was taking another phone call.


After just a little while, the red carpet was brought to the walkway.


The hotel staff placed the red carpet on the walkway.


Jiang Siyong took a look. He had to admit that the red carpet looked a lot better as a single unit.


It looked a lot more graceful too.


Jiang Siyong didn’t have any more time to waste here, so he returned to their room to check on his mother and sister.


They had ordered a separate suite for Jiang Siyong’s sister, since it was her birthday party. During the party, Jiang Yongyan could return to the suite to rest if she wanted to.


When Jiang Siyong entered the room, Mrs. Jiang asked, “What just happened? I heard a bit of commotion just now.”


“I wasn’t careful. I didn’t think they were from the Tan family.” Just now, Jiang Jiamao had told Jiang Siyong that they were from that Tan family.


Jiang Siyong explained quickly what had happened.


Jiang Yongyan pouted and said angrily, “Today is my big day. It’s my birthday! How could they do such a thing to ruin my mood today? What’s up with the Tan family? If they want their party to be more fancy, then they should have gotten a bigger venue! Why do they have to stay here and make me unhappy?”


Jiang Siyong said, “It’s fine. It’s just a red carpet. Let them put one down. So what if they put a bigger red carpet, right? Look at the tiny venue they’ve gotten. It looks like one worthy of a poor family. How can they compare to us?


“Don’t worry. Today our party will definitely be better than theirs. We have done a lot of preparation work to make the party good.” Jiang Siyong laughed coldly. “It’s actually a good thing that our parties are side by side. That way we can compare the two. Then everyone will see what our party is like and what their party is like. Just look at their tiny venue, how could it compare to ours? Coincidentally, the daughter of the Tan family is coming of age today as well, and hosting her party here, just like you.


“Just think about it. Your party will have so many guests, and it will be so lively. Next to us, the Tan family have that tiny venue. How many guests could they host? Like I said, their party will be nothing compared to our party. Let them, and let that daughter of the Tan family, be a mere supplement to your party tonight.” After he had said all that, Jiang Yongyan was happy again.


“That’s right.” Mrs. Jiang also laughed. “Their venue is so small. Their party must be very substandard.”
