"Am I stingy? If I were stingy, I wouldn't have pulled this off."
"Alright, it's all the drinking's fault. Since no one wants to go, let's finish up and then eat." Guo Xuyang said.
"What are we going to do? Hasn't the Rainbow Gate arrived yet?"
"The Rainbow Gate is scheduled to come at five in the afternoon to help with the installation. We can do the rest now," Lv Liang replied.
"Then let's get to it. Many hands make light work, and it won't take more than an hour."
The group got to work immediately. The tasks weren't that much, and with many people helping, they finished quickly. Seeing the time, it wasn't even five o'clock yet. The people to install the Rainbow Gate hadn't arrived. Lv Liang took out a few packs of instant noodles from the room.
"Everyone, have some of this to tide you over. Tonight, you'll have a feast with Yang Zi."
"I see that's all you're capable of. These brothers came from far away to help you, and you're only offering them this?" Guo Xuyang scoffed.
"It's good that there's something to eat. Stop being so picky. Eat it or don't," Lv Liang said, throwing the instant noodles onto the table. "Brothers, whoever can't hold on, come and have some to fill your stomachs. We'll go eat delicious food with Brother Guo tonight."
Xiao Qi was the first to pick up a pack of instant noodles and start eating. They had drunk so much yesterday, hadn't eaten, and couldn't hold back the effects of the alcohol when they returned, so they vomited it all out. They slept until late morning, and as soon as they got up, they started cleaning. Even the best body couldn't withstand it.
Seeing Xiao Qi eating, the other few also reached out and picked up instant noodles. They looked genuinely starved; one pack wasn't enough, so they tore open another.
"Brothers, I'll prepare some good food for everyone tonight. These instant noodles are a bit dry, so eat sparingly. We'll go as soon as the Rainbow Gate is installed," Guo Xuyang said quickly, seeing them eating the instant noodles like hungry wolves.
Before he finished speaking, Lv Liang's phone rang.
"Mr. Lv? This is Zhu Zilu. We've arrived. Is this Tan Hua Residential Area?"
"Manager Zhu, yes, it's Tan Hua Residential Area. Please wait at the main entrance, I'll come out now." Lv Liang hung up and said, "Manager Zhu for the Rainbow Gate setup is here, let's go out and take a look."
"We'll go take a look first. You guys rest at home for a bit, and wait for our call," Guo Xuyang said to Xiao Qi.
"Okay, Brother Guo."
When Guo Xuyang and Lv Liang arrived at the residential area's main entrance, they saw a young woman leading several workers who were setting up the Rainbow Gate.
"Manager Zhu, thank you for your hard work," Lv Liang said, shaking hands with Zhu Zilu.
"It's not hard, it's our duty. Our makeup artist will go to the bride's place early tomorrow for makeup. Do you have any other requests?"
"I have no requests from my end. About how long will the drum and gong troupe arrive?"
"What time are you planning to depart?"
"We're departing at 7:36 AM, and the bride's side at 9:36 AM. We'll stop at a few scenic spots for photos along the way. The wedding ceremony will begin at 11:06 AM, and the banquet will start at noon precisely," Lv Liang explained.
"In that case, our drum and gong troupe will arrive downstairs at your place before 7:30 AM. Our task will be completed when the bride enters the hotel," Zhu Zilu nodded.
"Alright. Aren't the bridal makeup and the accompanying makeup artist the same person?"
"No. Your bride will go to the shop to put on her wedding dress and get her makeup done. Her makeup artist starts quite early and won't have much energy during the day. The accompanying makeup artist will be with her throughout, until your wedding ceremony concludes."
"I see. This is my first time getting married, I don't know about these things." Lv Liang's comment made Zhu Zilu laugh.
"Are you planning on getting married again?"
"I can barely manage one, let alone others. He, on the other hand, is planning for another round," Lv Liang said, pointing at Guo Xuyang.
Zhu Zilu blinked her peach blossom eyes and looked at Guo Xuyang, unsure if Lv Liang was telling the truth.
"Don't look at me like that. I'm planning a group wedding on May 4th. Brother Liang is just jealous," Guo Xuyang said quickly. He didn't know why he felt the need to explain this to Zhu Zilu.
Zhu Zilu was a very beautiful woman, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. She was tall, about 1.78 meters, with a curvaceous figure. Wearing a cotton dress in this weather, it accentuated her figure. In Guo Xuyang's mind, a woman like this would have probably been married before, so she would be more open-minded about things.
"Manager Zhu, my brother's group wedding will only have one groom, and the rest are brides," Lv Liang added. This statement shocked Zhu Zilu.
"Are you serious? How is that possible?"
"I don't like to lie. If you don't believe me, you can come and see then?"
"Brother Liang, I didn't offend you today, did I? Why are you speaking ill of me in front of a beautiful woman?" Guo Xuyang complained.
"I'm just telling the truth."
"I know, are you perhaps that Mr. Guo who got married with sixty-six wedding cars?" Zhu Zilu suddenly said.
"Yes. He's that show-off Guo Xuyang," Lv Liang chimed in.
"Mr. Guo, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am Zhu Zilu, the owner of Mengli Bridal Shop," Zhu Zilu suddenly stepped forward and took Guo Xuyang's hand.
"Hello, hello." Guo Xuyang didn't understand why Zhu Zilu was suddenly so enthusiastic towards him.
"Although I do bridal wear, I also do wedding planning," Zhu Zilu continued. "I heard that your 4S shops have many quality customers. Could you help me contact them to provide wedding cars? We can give you half the profit."
Guo Xuyang suddenly understood. It was about the cars. In reality, this was a win-win or multi-win situation. His cars had a fixed customer base, and he had their contact information. Some major clients might not care about such small profits, but a significant portion of them would likely be happy to participate. Getting paid for a car outing, which only took half a morning or a morning's time. The cost would only be time and some fuel. These were for happy occasions, and they would also receive some celebratory cigarettes and candies. Running this three to five times a month would be equivalent to a regular person's monthly salary.
"Let's forget the profit. If you can bring some business to my hotel, I'd be happy to cooperate," Guo Xuyang said.
"How can that be? We'll give you what's due."
"Manager Zhu, you don't need to be so polite. He's a magnate. His car dealerships are just a hobby," Lv Liang interjected.
"So, you agree to cooperate?"
"As long as it brings business to my hotel, I will certainly agree."
