"Mr. Guo, Wang Lihong's parents have arrived."
Guo Xuyang's phone rang.
"I know, I'll be right there," he said after hanging up.
"Let's go. Lihong's parents are here, we should go greet them."
"Time to get to work," Pi Xiaoqian said, also standing up.
"Which room? Have they been assigned?" Cheng Xiuping asked.
"Liu He will arrange for someone to escort them. We just need to go say hello," Guo Xuyang replied.
"We'll be in the same room later. We still need to discuss the first half of the year's profit sharing. My parents and Lihong's parents are in the same room."
"We'll discuss the profit sharing after we finish with this matter. We must take good care of Lihong's parents first," Cheng Xiuping said.
"It's fine. Today, Xiao Bao and his maternal uncle are having their full moon banquet together."
"On the same day?"
"Otherwise, they wouldn't be having their full moon banquet together," Guo Xuyang explained.
"That's quite unusual."
"It's normal. The three-child policy has been relaxed, so it's perfectly normal for the nephew to be older than the uncle," Pi Xiaoqian remarked.
"Uncle, Auntie, you've arrived! Please come upstairs." Guo Xuyang hurried forward as he saw Wang Xukun and Zhang Jingyi approaching with the baby.
"Lihong and the others are behind us, they'll be here shortly," Wang Xukun said.
"It's fine. They're familiar with the place, they won't get lost. Let's go up first and cool off in the room. It's too hot outside." Guo Xuyang said, taking the baby from Wang Xukun.
"The weather is a bit unusual this year. It's so hot here, yet it doesn't rain. Meanwhile, the south has experienced flooding due to abundant rainfall."
"It's mainly due to severe environmental pollution. Despite the strong environmental protection efforts, some people are still illegally mining rocks and even using explosives."
"It's better here, being the provincial capital and all. It's much worse in our area. I really don't know how people have such nerve? Their influence probably reaches to the heavens," Wang Xukun said.
"It's quite normal. If there weren't people involved with hidden stakes, they would have been investigated long ago and lost their positions."
"Turning a blind eye makes things easier. It's good for everyone involved, but it ultimately harms the common people. Look at the news this year, there have been floods in various regions, and hail in many others. This is nature's revenge," Guo Xuyang said as he walked into the banquet hall with Wang Xukun.
This table was arranged for twelve people, primarily Wang Xukun's family, Guo Xuyang's parents, and accompanied by Gao Yuan, Li Xiaolu, and a few others.
"Uncle, Auntie, please sit here and rest for a while. I'll go downstairs to greet others." Guo Xuyang handed the baby to Zhang Jingyi and then left the room.
"Sister Lihong, let's go upstairs first. Uncle and Auntie will be here shortly," Li Xiaolu said to Wang Lihong.
"Why did the car break down on the way? Who was driving?" Wang Lihong asked.
"Gao Yuan. She just got her driver's license not long ago and is still a bit inexperienced. I wonder why they let her drive?" Li Xiaolu said.
"Everyone else's stomachs are quite big now, so she was the most suitable person to drive."
"Being three or four months pregnant is fine. Some women even drive themselves to the hospital to give birth even at ten months." Li Xiaolu said.
"It's better to be careful. Don't you all know how to drive? It doesn't matter if the car is driven fast or slow, we have insurance anyway."
"It's just a coincidence today. Gao Yuan rarely drives normally."
"You guys go upstairs and cool off. I'll wait here."
As they were talking, they didn't notice Guo Xuyang approaching.
"It's too hot outside, don't let Xiao Bao get heatstroke."
"It's fine, I've wrapped him in a small towel blanket."
"That's still not enough. How hot is it today? Li Xiaolu, you take Xiao Bao upstairs with Lihong." Guo Xuyang said to Wang Lihong.
"Uncle and Auntie are upstairs, you go keep them company and chat."
