"No problem. Contact them again and see how many people they plan to send, and if they need to book another bus.
Are there any other matters to note? Have them raise them as soon as possible.
Has your wedding party been finalized?"
"Not yet. I'm calling you now precisely to get your opinion on who would be suitable to serve as the main emcee?"
"In the provincial capital, only Director Cheng is suitable.
I'll call him shortly to seek his opinion and see if he's available.
Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, and there isn't much time left.
See what else needs to be prepared and arrange it in advance.
Also, we should have Uncle and Aunt come over. Some matters still require the elderly couple to handle them personally."
"Alright. I'll pick them up tomorrow.
When do you think Second Uncle and his wife would be suitable to come?
Perhaps I should pick up Second Uncle and Aunt together?"
"They won't be much help if they come too early. Why don't you call them later?
If they agree to come together, then pick them up.
Otherwise, them coming the day before is also fine," Guo Xuyang said.
"Then I'll call them later to confirm and decide?"
"How are the preparations for your house and furniture coming along?"
"Those are all ready.
I was thinking of having Xiao Li return to our hometown three days in advance to prepare.
These next few days, she can check if there's anything else that needs preparing here and get it done together."
"Then let's have a gathering tonight and go directly to Junyue Lai. You can invite everyone you need help from."
"Okay, Yangzi. I have about ten people on my side."
"No problem. We'll do things our way for this new chapter. Since you're not hiring a wedding planner, we'll decorate it ourselves.
Let me offer some general suggestions and see if they work for you.
You can arrange the emcee;
The hotel will handle the on-site setup;
For the vehicles, you can contact the car owners and form a convoy. You should prepare a white car as the lead vehicle.
For the bridesmaids and welcoming party, since your store has many young women, you can handle that yourselves.
Your new home is ready, and your store has the equipment for photography and videography, so you can manage that.
With all that said, there shouldn't be anything else that requires special preparation.
When I get back, I'll have Xiao Yun bring you another set of jewelry as my wedding gift.
I'll cover the costs for cigarettes and alcohol. We'll prepare them according to the highest marriage standards for the provincial capital."
"Brother, thank you. I'll handle the cigarettes and alcohol."
"Keep your money for your own use. I can't help much with that.
It's settled then. We'll discuss the specific details further when we meet tonight."
"Alright then. See you tonight."
As soon as Guo Xuyang hung up the phone, he saw Xiao Yun walking downstairs.
"You're awake? We're going to Junyue Lai tonight to discuss Brother Hui's wedding.
Go to the Artificial Lake Villa area later and get a set of jewelry for Brother Hui and them."
"When is Brother Hui getting married?"
"On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month."
"That's in just a few days!
I've been so busy in the capital lately that I've overlooked this.
However, there are no more glass-type jade pieces at the Artificial Lake. There are still two or three sets of high-ice jade.
I wonder if they've been shipped out these past few days?"
"Go find Old Xu downstairs later and have him make a set. I have two excellent pieces of raw jade here.
One set for you, and one set for Brother Hui and them," Guo Xuyang said, recalling two pieces of imperial green glass-type jade, weighing about ten kilograms each.
"Alright then, I'll go now."
Xiao Yun took them and set them aside.
"I need to eat something first, I'm a bit hungry."
"I specifically fried eggs for you this morning and cooked a pot of red date and millet porridge.
See if it's cold; if it is, reheat it."
Xiao Yun went to the kitchen, fried two more eggs herself, reheated the millet porridge, and brought it out.
"Yangzi, do you want some more?"
"No, I just ate not long ago. You eat. I'm going to call Director Cheng."
As Guo Xuyang spoke, he dialed Cheng Xiuping's number.
"Director Cheng, are you available tonight? Hmm.
Brother Hui is planning to get married on the eighth of the twelfth lunar month, and we haven't found a suitable emcee yet. We'd like to ask you to take on the role of the main emcee. Are you available at that time?
That's great! Then we'll meet at Junyue Lai tonight, and we can discuss the specific arrangements in detail."
After hanging up, Guo Xuyang made calls to Wu Youzhi, Pi Xiaoqian, Li Minxi, and Iliana, inviting them to the wedding and to liven things up.
He didn't call Jiang Qixin, as he was quite far away, and had little interaction with Guo Xuhui.
Unlike the others, who were all shareholders of the raw stones.
After Xiao Yun finished breakfast, the two of them went to Old Xu's place and handed over the imperial green glass-type jade.
"Director Guo, I'm truly enlightened.
In your place, glass-type jade is treated as if it's free. Just now, Director Xia also brought over two pieces of raw material.
Normally, I wouldn't even see a piece of imperial green glass-type jade once a year," Old Xu said with a smile as he took the jade.
"These were obtained during the last public auction in Myanmar. This material is becoming increasingly rare," Guo Xuyang said.
"Indeed. These are formed over hundreds of millions of years.
They are gifts from nature; with consumption, they diminish.
What do you plan to do with these two pieces of raw material you have?"
"From one piece of raw material, I want a pair of bracelets, a pendant, a pair of earrings, a necklace set, and two rings.
For the remaining material, ask Manager Xiao what she wants to make?"
Upon hearing that the remaining material was for her, Xiao Yun said, "Master Xu, please make another set following Director Guo's request."
"Alright. I'll make double sets as Director Guo specified.
However, it will take some time to complete."
"Approximately how long will it take?" Guo Xuyang asked.
"The set you mentioned will take at least three days.
Two sets will take six to seven days, mainly because the necklace is quite time-consuming."
"Then make one set first.
Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year; can I have it by the evening of the fifth day? What do you think?"
"No problem. I will definitely deliver it to you then."
"Alright then, please carry on with your work."
As Guo Xuyang spoke, he and Xiao Yun returned to the villa.
"Yangzi, it's still early until tonight. Shall we go visit the 4S store?
You haven't been there for a long time," Xiao Yun said.
"Alright. Since there's nothing much to do, let's go to the 4S store."
When Guo Xuyang and Xiao Yun arrived at the Boci 4S store, Guo Xuhui was engrossed in writing and drawing in his office, planning for the wedding, and didn't notice their arrival.
"Director Guo, Manager Xiao, you're here. Welcome for inspection and guidance," Xiao Li said, rushing to greet them as soon as she saw them.
"Don't be so formal. I'm just here to take a look. How are the sales this month?"
"As of the end of work last night, this store has sold twenty-six vehicles this month, with a turnover of seven million three hundred twenty thousand.
Mainly because we ran a promotion during the holiday, so the sales were quite ideal.
The other three stores are also doing well, having sold one hundred twelve vehicles, with a turnover of twenty-three million seven hundred thousand."
Xiao Li was very familiar with the business.
