If it weren't for meeting Guo Xu Yang and Cheng Xiu Ping, she would still be miserably stuck with a base salary of three thousand yuan selling houses.
Xia Li no longer saw Guo Xu Yang as such a scumbag.
"It's getting late, let's go eat. We won't come back until we're drunk. Oh, right, President Cheng, have the people you called for help all left?"
Guo Xu Yang then remembered the fifty people who had come to help earlier.
If it weren't for them, relying on their ten-odd people, who knew how long it would have taken to proofread?
"They've all gone. I've made all the arrangements. Each of them received a red envelope of one thousand yuan," Cheng Xiu Ping said.
"President Cheng thought of it before I did, I really need to thank them properly. Otherwise, we wouldn't know how long we'd still be busy. Then let's head to the restaurant."
Xia Li used the remote control to close the main door on the east side of the room. This was a security door exclusively for the banking system.
The surrounding lights also came on, and all the surveillance cameras were functioning normally.
If anyone wanted to steal the raw stones from here, they would probably have to be an international master thief.
When the group arrived at the Jun Yue Lai Hotel, Guo Xu Hui and the others had already arrived.
In the second-floor hall, it was very lively with many attractive women.
There was no other way; people buying cars nowadays also liked to see beautiful women.
Guo Xu Hui naturally catered to his clients' wishes, hiring only young women who looked like internet celebrities with long legs.
Although the salaries were high, their performance was also good.
It had to be said that Guo Xu Hui indeed had a knack for doing business.
Of course, the assistance from Lin Zi Qi and Xiao Li was also indispensable.
"Brother Hui, how many people have come?" Guo Xu Yang asked.
"A total of seventy-eight people from the four stores. That doesn't include me, Xiao Li, and Zi Qi."
"Good. Have you made arrangements?"
"I have. Two tables for each store. If there are more or fewer, they can adjust among themselves.
They're all arranged in the second-floor hall. I thought you could meet everyone later.
Many people you haven't met yet?"
"Alright. Let everyone eat and drink well first, I'll come over in a bit," Guo Xu Yang said.
"President Xiao, please arrange things with the hotel.
The standard for the dishes should be fifty thousand per table.
For the baijiu, use Maotai, one case per table, and order more if needed.
For the red wine, still use Zhangyu Dry Red, the one priced at three thousand per bottle, start with two cases.
For the beer, you can arrange it as you see fit. Don't serve cigarettes, as there are ladies present, so be considerate."
"Okay, I'll go arrange it now," Xiao Yun agreed and went upstairs.
"President Cheng, President Wu, let's go to the private room first," Guo Xu Yang beckoned.
Everyone followed Guo Xu Yang into the VIP lounge.
"I'll take the main host's seat today, no one can dispute that.
President Cheng, you've worked hard during this period, so you'll be the main guest today.
Brother Liang, you'll be the secondary guest. Fatty, you'll be the secondary host."
Guo Xu Yang began assigning seats.
"I have a suggestion. Today, let's not sit according to the main guest and secondary guest positions.
Everyone is too familiar with each other, so let's not be so formal. I suggest we sit in a mixed arrangement.
Yangzi, the main host is still yours, no one will fight you for it.
Yangyang, you sit with Yangzi.
President Cheng, you sit next to Yangyang. That's right.
Where is Xiao Yun? Leave a seat for Xiao Yun.
I'll sit here, Xiao Yu, come over. Sit next to me.
President Pi, your secondary host position is undisputed.
Li Min Xi, will you sit next to Yangzi? Yes, you sit down first.
President Wu, sit next to Li Min Xi.
Xiao Li, sit next to President Wu. Hui, I can't separate you two as a couple, sit down.
Zi Qi, right? Sit next to Hui. Xia Li, sit."
While Lü Liang was arranging the seating, Xiao Yun came in.
She glanced at Guo Yi Yang, then at Li Min Xi.
"President Xiao, come, sit over here, we've saved a seat for you," Lü Liang called out.
After everyone was seated, Lü Liang suddenly realized that Elena had not come.
So he said, "President Wu, why didn't you bring Elena with you when you came? I was wondering why something felt off."
"She's not coming, she said she needs to rest and protect the fetus, we dare not let her come.
If anything were to happen, I wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility," Wu You Zhi said.
Protecting the fetus? Elena was protecting her fetus?
Xiao Yun's face turned pale upon hearing this.
Elena had actually returned to the country.
She found it so unbelievable.
If she hadn't made that mistake step by step, how could all these things have happened?
She felt herself drifting further and further away from Guo Xu Yang.
The women present, upon hearing that Elena was pregnant, all instinctively assumed it was Guo Xu Yang's child.
Scumbag.
This was the same word that popped into the minds of several women.
"Why does it feel like it's a bit too many women here?" Lü Liang muttered.
Indeed, out of thirteen people, six were men and seven were women.
"Women are also half the sky," Pi Xiao Qian said.
"Alright, alright, it's not easy for everyone to gather here today. We can start the shareholders' meeting."
Guo Xu Yang said with a smile.
"We've been running around outside for these past few months. As our business grows, everyone's pockets are also getting fatter.
For the first toast, I propose a toast to our increasingly fatter wallets."
As Guo Xu Yang spoke, he tipped his head back and drank the baijiu in front of him.
Guo Yi Yang, this time, simply refused to drink baijiu, fearing embarrassment. He picked up his glass of red wine and took a small sip.
"Our jade business is gradually becoming normalized, and everyone has some spare money.
I want to find a project for everyone, see if it suits you?"
Guo Xu Yang said, looking at everyone present.
"Brother, what project? You tell us. As long as it's suitable, I'll go along with it," Pi Xiao Qian asked.
"Futures," Guo Xu Yang said, looking at everyone at the table.
Seeing that no one responded, he continued, "The domestic futures market is getting better and better.
I'm thinking of taking advantage of this opportunity to gain some dividends.
As long as we catch one wave, we'll be set for life."
"Brother, futures are a large volume thing, requiring high professional knowledge.
Don't look at the spare money we have, if we truly invest in the futures market, we won't be able to make any ripples," Cheng Xiu Ping said.
He didn't understand the futures market and didn't want to get involved in that murky water. He preferred business that was tangible and visible.
However, because it was proposed by Guo Xu Yang, he found it difficult to directly refuse.
"Yangzi, I don't really recommend you get into this business," Lü Liang said.
"I think you should stick to jade.
This jade business is highly profitable, and with your ability, achieving financial freedom is very easy.
I don't understand why you would suggest venturing into the futures market?"
"This is a long story, though not too long.
About two months ago, I had a bit of trouble, remember? Xiao Yu brought me back to Mai City.
Later, after the truth came out, I was released.
At that time, I had just resigned, where should I go? I went to eat rice noodles.
When I used to sell houses in Mai City, I often went to an old street rice noodle shop to eat rice noodles, and there I met Wang Yi Bo.
At that time, Wang Yi Bo had just resigned from an investment company. Because he lost his job and his girlfriend, he was drunk and fell into the moat.
The rice noodle shop owner and I saved Wang Yi Bo. Later, we brought Wang Yi Bo to the provincial capital.
From then on, I thought about letting Wang Yi Bo invest in futures. That's why I brought this idea up to everyone today."
