Xia Li and Xiao Yun emerged from the bathroom to find Guo Xuyang still lying in bed with his eyes closed.
"Yang Zi? Yang Zi? Are you awake? Shall we head to the hotel? It's getting late," Xiao Yun called out softly.
"Mm, I'm awake. You're out then? I'll go get cleaned up and then we can go," Guo Xuyang said as he got up and walked into the bathroom.
By the time the three of them arrived at the hotel, it was past six o'clock. Guo Xuhui and Xiao Li were already there.
"Is everyone here?" Guo Xuyang asked Guo Xuhui.
"President Cheng hasn't arrived yet. Everyone from my side is here," Guo Xuhui replied.
"Why isn't he here yet? Xiao Yun, give him a call and find out what's going on?"
Before Guo Xuyang finished speaking, he saw Cheng Xiuping walk in.
Wu Youzhi, Pi Xiaoqian, Li Minxi, Guo Yiyang, and Iliana also entered with him.
"Why are you all here?"
Guo Xuyang was surprised to see Wu Youzhi and the others.
"When you mentioned Xuhui's wedding this morning, they all rushed to our shop. They insisted on coming to help. So, we came along," Wu Youzhi explained, pointing at Li Minxi and the others.
"Brother Hui has everything prepared here. There's nothing else that needs to be done. I called this morning to invite you all to the wedding banquet on Laba Festival," Guo Xuyang said.
"We didn't have anything else to do, so we came," Li Minxi said.
"You might not have anything to do, but General Manager Wu and President Pi need to hold down the fort at the flagship store," Guo Xuyang remarked.
"I didn't ask them to come; they wanted to tag along," Li Minxi retorted.
"Alright, let's all go upstairs. It's not appropriate to be talking standing here," Cheng Xiuping said.
The group then proceeded to the second floor, where a large private room awaited them, furnished with three dining tables. The attractive young men and women from the 4S store had already occupied two tables.
"Sit, sit, let's sit and chat," Guo Xuyang said, taking the host's seat first.
Cheng Xiuping, Wu Youzhi, and Pi Xiaoqian sat down to Guo Xuyang's right. Li Minxi, Guo Yiyang, Iliana, Xiao Yun, and Xia Li took seats to Guo Xuyang's left. Guo Xuhui, Xiao Li, and Wang Yibo sat down after everyone else was seated.
"Yang Zi, we're planning to ask Wang Yibo to be the wedding MC," Guo Xuhui announced.
"Old Wang, how about it?" Guo Xuyang asked.
"It's a piece of cake, President Guo. I'll make sure Brother Hui and his wife are satisfied," Wang Yibo said with a smile.
"Not just them, but everyone attending the wedding should be satisfied," Guo Xuyang chuckled.
"No problem. Task guaranteed to be completed."
"President Cheng, let's chat over dinner," Guo Xuyang suggested.
"Sure. After you called me this morning, I've been thinking, let's sort things out. From where will Xiao Li be sent off on the wedding day? How many people will the bride's family bring? Where will the wedding banquet be held? How many tables should be reserved for the bride's side? Who will accompany the elders from the bride's family? For the wedding day itself, the arrangements for us relatives and friends are manageable, but we mustn't neglect the bride's family. What are Xuhui's plans? Will you hire a wedding planner, or will we handle it ourselves? Who would be suitable to accompany the elders when going to the bride's home? Have the groomsmen and bridesmaids been finalized? Who will be responsible for carrying the firecrackers, setting them off, and taking photos on the road? Will the wedding be held at the villa or a hotel upon arrival? And who will be helping out? Who will be in charge of receiving gifts at the hotel, the hotel's pricing, the menu, and what kind of cigarettes and alcohol will be served? All these need to be decided in advance. Who will be watching the cigarettes and alcohol? And who will help count the attendees and serve cigarettes and alcohol before the banquet starts? Who will accompany the bride and groom for toasts? How many cars will be arranged to pick up and drop off guests? Who will be responsible for inviting guests in advance? We need to clarify all these today. It's the Laba Festival soon, and time is tight with only a few days left. Even with all this, time will feel a bit rushed," Cheng Xiuping rattled off.
"President Cheng, I've already discussed this with Brother Hui, and we plan to hold the wedding at Blue Sea Grand Hotel, with the banquet also held there. However, I think holding the wedding at the villa is also a good idea, as it's quite spacious, and we have the facilities. What do you think, Brother Hui? Perhaps you two can discuss it," Guo Xuyang proposed.
"That works. Holding the wedding at the villa is even better, as it saves us from running back and forth," Guo Xuhui agreed.
"There's no need for the banquet at the Blue Sea Hotel; our own place is perfectly fine. Besides, it's our own hotel. We can make whatever dishes we want! The banquet at the Blue Sea might not meet our satisfaction. Another point is that the waiters and staff here are readily available, so there's no need to arrange special personnel to look after the cigarettes and alcohol," Cheng Xiuping suggested.
"I think that's a good idea. What do you think, Brother Hui?" Guo Xuyang asked.
"It's fine. Using our own ingredients is also reassuring. This will also save me quite a bit," Guo Xuhui said with a smile.
"Since Brother Hui agrees, you don't need to worry about the banquet. I'll cover it all," Guo Xuyang declared.
"Can we be so extravagant? Are you even letting others live?" Li Minxi chimed in.
"Showing off, but not like this," another person commented.
"This is my turf, and I make the rules. It's settled then. Brother Hui's main task will be to bring the bride home," Guo Xuyang stated.
"I've arranged the vehicles; twelve Mercedes-Benz cars," Guo Xuhui reported.
"I suggest we have more vehicles. What do we do? We sell cars! Why not take this opportunity to do some advertising? Sixteen cars from each 4S store, plus a lead car and a cameraman car, for a total of sixty-six vehicles. This will not only be impressive but also expand our publicity," Cheng Xiuping suggested.
"Wouldn't coordinating the traffic be difficult?" Guo Xuyang pondered.
"No worries. I'll handle this. Oh, where's Xiao Yu? Why didn't you call Xiao Yu over? She can handle this matter," Cheng Xiuping said.
Guo Xuyang slapped his forehead. "How could I forget her? Xiao Yun, give your sister a call and see if she's available to come over?"
"At this hour? You're only thinking of her now. Forget it, don't let her come. Just let her know about this matter," Xiao Yun replied.
"We haven't even started yet! You make the call first. Actually, I'll call," Guo Xuyang said, dialing Xiao Yu's number.
"Captain Xiao, what are you busy with? Come over to Jun Yue, will you? We're here discussing Brother Hui's wedding. Alright, we'll wait for you."
"She's on her way. She's outside right now and will be here shortly," Guo Xuyang said after hanging up the phone.
"This matter is solved. General Manager Wu needs to be with me that day; I can't handle it alone. He can contact people for specific matters later," Cheng Xiuping said.
"No problem. My main task these days is to follow your lead. Just give me any instructions," Wu Youzhi replied.
