"Come, come, have some food to settle your stomach. You can't just drink alcohol; it's bad for your health.
The dishes here are quite good, and the seafood is delivered fresh daily.
Everyone, please try them." Cheng Xiuping invited everyone to sample the dishes.
There were nine people at the table, mostly young men and women. They chatted and spoke without reservation, and almost every one of them was a millionaire or more.
Of course, Xiao Yu was an exception. As someone in the system, she would have to leave it to get rich.
This was something she hadn't quite decided on yet.
Lü Liang had spoken to her about it several times, but she hadn't made up her mind.
She knew Lü Liang's feelings for her.
This was her home, after all, and her parents were here.
If she were to go to Kyoto, her development might be better.
But it would mean being far from home, and she wouldn't be able to take care of things if anything happened.
This was the main reason why she hadn't decided to develop in Kyoto.
Secondly, it was related to Guo Xuyang.
She felt that her relationship with Lü Liang was more like that of friends, while she had a special sentiment for Guo Xuyang.
But she dared not, nor was she willing, to believe it.
She knew about the relationship between Guo Xuyang and her sister Xiao Yun, and she couldn't do something that would make people gossip behind her back.
However, the more she suppressed this feeling, the stronger it became.
Her longing for Guo Xuyang grew even more intense.
She had told herself more than once that this was wrong, but feelings were not something you could suppress just because you wanted to.
She sat there quietly, watching Guo Xuyang chat and laugh with everyone.
Her woman's intuition told her that Guo Yiyang was not Guo Xuyang's sister.
Because the woman named Yang Yang looked at Guo Xuyang with the wrong expression.
It was an expression of admiration, of love, the kind of look one gives to a beloved.
"Come, come, let's raise our third glass of wine, wishing our business prosperity, and may everyone get rich under Brother Guo's leadership."
Cheng Xiuping's words pulled Xiao Yu back from her thoughts.
"You flatter me. Everyone will get rich if they just do their jobs well."
Guo Xuyang took over and said, "Cheers."
After several rounds of drinks and dishes, the atmosphere became even more lively.
"Yangzi, thank you for bringing me to the provincial capital. This was something I never even dared to imagine before."
Lin Ziqi came over with her wine glass.
"Don't be so polite. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have transferred schools. Perhaps you'd be better off now."
Guo Xuyang stood up and said.
"I was young and foolish back then. It's hard to believe how much time has passed in the blink of an eye."
"Yes. Speaking of it now, it's like it happened yesterday."
"Exactly. I want to tell you something. My sister isn't doing very well at her job in Maicheng.
I want her to come here and work in planning or something. Do you agree?"
"Yes, as long as your sister agrees. You can decide on hiring people here. I have no objections."
Guo Xuyang couldn't help but recall Lin Zixuan, who was sitting in the sales reception area in the afternoon, flipping through magazines.
That bright-toothed, shoulder-length-haired, beautiful, and intellectual woman.
And that halo of holiness.
Thinking back on the journey, it was almost unbelievable. If it hadn't been for Lin Zixuan back then, perhaps he wouldn't be where he is today.
"That's great. I'll call my sister as soon as I get back and ask her to come to the provincial capital."
Lin Ziqi said happily.
"Alright. If I'm still in the provincial capital then, I'll host a welcome banquet for your sister. Let me know when she arrives."
"No problem. Come, Yangzi, I'll toast you."
Lin Ziqi said, drinking the baijiu in her glass.
"Don't be so formal in the future. Just say if you need anything. You know our relationship, don't you?"
Guo Xuyang said, also drinking the wine in his glass.
As soon as Lin Ziqi left, Xiao Li and Guo Xuhui came over together.
"Yangzi, it's been a long time." Guo Xuhui said.
"Yes, Brother Hui, it has been some time. How's it going here? Is it going smoothly?"
"It's okay. Ziqi and Xiao Li have helped me a lot. Work has gotten on track.
Now we mainly focus on car sales, and business is quite good.
The four stores have a daily turnover of about ten million yuan."
"That's good. Tell me promptly if you have any ideas. If you need more money, I'll arrange for someone to transfer it to you."
"Um, I'd like to transfer Xiao Li to work by my side. Is that okay?"
There was something going on.
Guo Xuyang looked at Guo Xuhui, then at Xiao Li, and smiled.
"Brother Hui, do you mean Xiao Li..."
"I want her to come as Deputy General Manager."
"Then who will be in charge of the Buma store?"
"Li Yang. He was formerly the manager of the Bocci store and was later arranged by President Xiao to be the store manager at Buma."
Li Yang? Guo Xuyang remembered him. He was the first manager he had removed when he first took over the Bocci store.
"Okay. No problem. When can we have the wedding banquet?"
Xiao Li's ears instantly turned red upon hearing this, and she said, "President Guo?"
"There's nothing to be ashamed of. It's natural for a man and a woman to marry.
Brother Hui is loyal and honest. I trust your judgment.
When you have time, go look at a villa. Let me know if you find one you like.
It can be from my real estate company or President Wu's real estate company.
Or any other real estate company. It's just a token of my appreciation."
"Thank you, President Guo." Xiao Li said.
"Don't be so polite. Work hard, and when you get back, bring your elders to live with you."
Guo Xuyang gave them a heads-up.
After all, in today's society, it's not common for daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law to live together.
Moreover, Brother Hui had a mother who liked to boast and compare.
"Brother, thank you." Guo Xuhui said.
"What are you saying, brother? Don't be so formal.
Go and have a look when you have time, and let me know if you find anything you like.
Oh, do you have a car?"
"I've been using the company car."
"Get another one. It'll be convenient for you and Xiao Li. I'll talk to Xiao Yun when I get back. You can just deduct it from your accounts."
"Brother, we'll toast you." Guo Xuhui and Xiao Li raised their wine glasses simultaneously.
"Let's aim to celebrate your wedding banquet as soon as possible," Guo Xuyang said, smiling as he drank his wine.
"If there are no special circumstances, I plan to have it during the Spring Festival."
"Isn't that not long now?" Guo Xuyang checked the time.
"Less than two months left. Have you started preparing things?"
"Your grandfather wants us to hold it in Maicheng."
"Why go back to Maicheng? Bring your grandparents here to live. Wait a moment."
Guo Xuyang turned and asked.
"President Cheng, do you have any renovated villas left?"
"Not at the moment. What do you need them for?"
"Brother Hui is getting married during the Spring Festival. Time is running short. I want to find a renovated villa to give him."
"Xuhui is getting married? I haven't heard him mention it before. He's quite secretive."
Cheng Xiuping glanced at Guo Xuhui, then at Xiao Li.
"I still have a villa left by the artificial lake. If Xuhui doesn't mind, I'll give it to him."
