"Have you decided on the position for the float tomorrow?
And the order of the cars behind it, you need to arrange for someone to inform them in advance.
If they follow the preceding car numbers, it won't go wrong.
The motorcade is too long, and if not careful, people might cut in. All these need to be considered clearly."
"Yangzi, what do you think of this plan?
Tomorrow, I'll take two cars for each of the four models to pick up the bride. Including the wedding cars, that's a total of nine cars.
This way, the large motorcade won't need to go on the highway."
"What about the other vehicles?"
"They can wait at the highway exit.
When we set off tomorrow, sixty-five cars will depart from here.
Only nine will go onto the highway. The remaining fifty-six vehicles will wait at the highway exit.
On the way back, there will be ten cars, including the one Lin Ziqi drove back yesterday.
When we return after picking up the bride, we'll gather at the highway exit and return together."
"Okay, this way we won't have to worry about the long distance and potential vehicle issues."
"Exactly. I was just worried about too many cars causing problems on the highway."
"Decide who's cars will go on the highway and call them in advance.
Tell them to have an early meal tomorrow, and ensure they are well-rested, so no other issues arise."
"Once we're done here, I'll have someone call them."
"Wang Yibo, have you spoken to him? I noticed he wasn't here to help today."
"I asked him to watch the shop. Xiao Li, Lin Ziqi, and I are all out, so I asked him to stay and help at the store."
"I see. Let's put up the couplets and 'xi' characters first, set off firecrackers, and then go for dinner.
Later, we can think if there's anything else we've missed.
Ask the photographers and videographers to come earlier tomorrow morning. For the motorcade leader, it's best to find a few more. It will be convenient for editing when we return."
"Alright. I'll contact them shortly." As they spoke, the group arrived at Guo Xuhui's villa courtyard.
The wedding cars were already decorated with flowers, secured to the hoods with tape, and red ribbons were tied to the rearview mirrors.
"Hui Ge, you should prepare an extra set of flowers for the trunk.
I'm afraid these might blow off on the highway, given the long distance."
"I've already asked the wedding company about this, and they said it's fine.
We have a partnership with them, and sometimes they ask me to arrange cars for them."
"If you have this connection, you should have said so earlier. Why not just have the wedding company handle it?"
"I just felt that our own people are more professional than the wedding company's, so I didn't ask them."
"You're right. Any salesperson from our store would be better than several of theirs.
Have the master of ceremonies, greeters, bridesmaids, and reception staff all been arranged?"
"Yes, they have. This afternoon, those bridesmaids went to Xiao Li's house with Xu Lili.
I had someone drive them there in a commercial van, along with the photographers and makeup artists.
Tomorrow morning, the commercial van will bring the photographers and videographers back with the motorcade." Guo Xuhui said.
"So, there are more cars than we initially planned?"
"It's fine, the commercial van won't be part of the motorcade."
"Are the walkie-talkies ready?"
"Yes. We've prepared twenty units. They're mainly for the photographers, the float, and the hotel.
Each model of car in the motorcade has been assigned two. Besides, everyone has a phone, so we can contact each other anytime."
"Okay. It's good to think of everything. It's just these couple of days. Once tomorrow is over, there won't be much else. How are the arrangements for Xiao Li's post-wedding visit home?"
"We'll visit her family the day after the wedding. I plan to have Lin Ziqi and Xu Lili accompany her, one for photography and the other to help drive."
"Don't let Ziqi go. Have Wang Yibo go with her. He's quite articulate. I want Ziqi to get closer to President Pi."
"Are you saying you want to set them up?"
"Yes. Ziqi is not getting any younger, and it's time she found a boyfriend."
"Can't you two work out?"
"I feel guilty towards her. If we were together, she probably wouldn't be comfortable.
Never mind that, let's hurry up and get things done. We need to eat dinner after we're finished, and you need to get some rest early tonight.
Tomorrow you're the main star, you need to be full of energy."
The group went to a room, retrieved the prepared couplets and 'xi' characters, and went to the villa's main entrance to affix them. Then, they lit two strings of firecrackers.
They returned to the living room to chat while waiting for Ye Zi to bring clothes.
"Qiqi, what's going on between you and General Manager Guo?" Xiao Li asked.
"Nothing's going on. Why do you suddenly ask this?" Lin Ziqi looked at Xiao Li.
"Before he took us to the provincial capital, he was very good to you. What's happened now that there's no news?"
"He and I are in the past. Besides, nothing happened between us back then."
"Hurry up! I'm getting married before you. Why aren't you even a little bit anxious?"
"Do you know what he said?"
"What did he say?"
"He wants to introduce me to President Pi from the capital, that fat guy."
"Ah. How could he bear to introduce you to someone else?
You're so beautiful, with both looks and substance. Even I'm tempted. How could he bear it?"
"They don't think much of us. Haven't you seen the women around him? Each one is more beautiful than the last. He's long stopped caring about me."
"You should be more proactive. Haven't you seen Li Minxi? She's around General Manager Guo every day.
I heard that last time, in front of many people, she pulled General Manager Guo upstairs. Shameless."
"Don't underestimate Li Minxi. She's the chairwoman of Sandao Liang Film and Television Group.
I specifically looked her up online. This company has invested in many successful films.
She's not just a pretty face; she truly has ability, beauty, and wealth.
Someone like me, from a humble background, can't compare."
"Your family is also quite good. If only your father hadn't been so stubborn and insisted on moving out back then.
Otherwise, you wouldn't be in this situation now."
"Let's not talk about that. It's all in the past.
Xu Lili just called and said they're already on their way. How should we arrange for them?"
"Ask them to find a hotel on-site to stay. The house isn't big enough to host them."
"Okay, I'll call them now. Also, haven't you contacted the makeup artist yet?"
"I have. They should be arriving tonight. From the wedding company."
"How is she getting here?"
"Ask Xu Lili. I asked her to contact them. They should be arriving with them, right?"
Lin Ziqi picked up her phone and called Xu Lili.
"Lili, where are you?"
"We just got off the highway. Qiqi, is the location you sent accurate?"
"There shouldn't be much deviation. Find a hotel first and stay there tonight.
Has the sister who will do Xiao Li's makeup arrived yet?"
"Yes, she's here. She came with us, along with two handsome gentlemen for photography and videography."
"First, find a hotel and arrange for them to stay there, and let them rest where we'll be eating.
Then, you drive the makeup artist over. She'll be staying with us tonight.
We have an early start tomorrow, and we'll need to wake up in the middle of the night to do Xiao Li's makeup."
