"Mmm. Wu Bing said earlier that they hadn't prepared anything for holding the sedan chair, so these two brothers volunteered and took on the task.
And over there, the bridesmaids are coming, and some of our sisters are here to help entertain them."
Wu Youzhi pointed at Guo Xuyang and the others.
"That's truly too kind of you.
You know, we don't really know anyone here. As long as Xiao Bing and Xiao Hui can hit it off and have a good life together, that's all that matters.
We haven't really prepared much for this."
"This is a major life event; we can't be too stingy.
This is also my fault. If Director Guo hadn't asked about these things today, I wouldn't have even paid attention to these details," Wu Youzhi said.
"Allow me to introduce them.
This is Guo Xuyang, Director Guo, the big boss of Zhenbao Pavilion, who is with me.
That's Cheng Xiuping, Director Cheng, the largest real estate developer in our provincial capital.
That's Pi Xiaoqian, Director Pi, the General Manager of Ruixiang Jade Specialty Store in Kyoto.
That's Li Minxi, Chairman Li, the Chairman of Sandao Liang Film and Television Group.
That's Xiao Yun, Director Xiao, who is responsible for real estate, wave 4s stores, and other industries in our provincial capital.
That's Xiao Yun's sister, Xiao Yu, who is currently the Deputy Captain of the Emergency Brigade and the Captain of the Emergency Response Commando Team in our provincial bureau.
That's Guo Yiyang, Director Guo's sister.
And that's Iliana, Director Guo's friend."
Wu Fuxin was surprised that Wu Bing knew so many friends, and each of them had an impressive background.
"It's a great pleasure to meet all of you.
You are all friends of my brother Youzhi, and you've come to help Xiao Bing.
Tonight, I'll be hosting. Let's all get together."
"Brother, you don't need to be so polite.
We have other commitments after we finish here. Please don't worry about Xiao Bing.
With everyone's support, Xiao Bing won't be at a disadvantage here," Wu Youzhi said.
"That's good, that's good," Wu Fuxin said, quickly reaching for some fruit.
"Come, come, have some fruit. We just bought it from outside. It's very fresh."
"Please don't be so formal, Uncle Wu.
Wu Bing is an excellent young man, and as his friends, it's only right that we come to help," Guo Xuyang said.
"Director Guo, you are too kind. It's Wu Bing's good fortune to know you all," Wu Fuxin said.
This statement was not incorrect.
Since Wu Bing met Guo Xuyang, he had successively acquired raw jade worth around a billion yuan and thirty million yuan in cash.
Otherwise, if he wanted to buy a house in Kyoto, he would probably have to work for several more years.
"As friends, it's only natural for us to support each other.
Liu Hui is also an outstanding young woman. The two of them are a perfect match.
Their careers will surely reach new heights," Guo Xuyang said.
Flattery goes a long way, and kind words cost nothing, so why not say more?
The more Wu Fuxin talked with Guo Xuyang, the more they hit it off, and he absolutely refused to let Guo Xuyang and the others leave.
If Guo Xuyang didn't leave, it would cut off everyone's financial prospects, and Pi Xiaoqian was the first to disagree.
"Brother Guo, it's getting late. Shall we go down and put up the couplets?"
"We were so engrossed in conversation that we almost forgot the main task.
Wu Bing, hold onto the couplets and the red paper. Let's go down and put them up.
Don't forget to bring the firecrackers," Guo Xuyang said.
"Yes, Director Guo. I'll be right there."
Everyone understood Pi Xiaoqian's intentions when he spoke.
"Brother, we'll go down to put up the couplets first. You all rest upstairs for a while," Wu Youzhi said.
"I'll go down with you." Wu Fuxin placed the fruit in his hands on the ground, put on his shoes, and followed everyone downstairs.
They posted couplets from the community entrance all the way upstairs, and red paper was pasted on trees and at the corners of stairwells.
Finally, a large red double happiness character was affixed to the main door of the stairwell.
"Wu Bing, Director Guo will be taking everyone out for some fun later. Are you going?" Pi Xiaoqian asked, approaching Wu Bing.
"Relatives have come to visit. I need to host them, so I can't go today."
"Then you're missing out. Don't blame me for not telling you."
"Thank you for your kindness, Director Pi. I'll definitely have a few extra drinks tomorrow."
"There will be plenty of drinks. But you have to complete your tasks properly before you can drink. Let's go."
After speaking, Pi Xiaoqian and a few women went to wait in the car.
"Hey, Xiao Bing, why don't you keep those friends here? Have them stay for dinner," Wu Fuxin called out.
"Dad, they really have something on. They can't stay here for dinner tonight."
"How can that be?" Wu Fuxin said, rubbing his hands together.
"Brother, you go ahead and be busy. I'll go back with them.
We really have something on tonight. It's the same if we have drinks tomorrow,"
Wu Youzhi said as he left with Guo Xuyang and Cheng Xiuping.
"Brother Guo, how about we have seafood tonight? No need for drinks,"
Pi Xiaoqian said as Guo Xuyang got into the car.
"Alright. The earlier, the better."
"Got it. Guys, keep up, we're going to have seafood!"
Pi Xiaoqian started the car.
"I want king crab, sea cucumber porridge, oysters, and mantis shrimp. Ask them about anything else,"
Li Minxi told the approaching waiter as soon as they arrived at the restaurant.
"Order the most expensive things on the menu. There are nine of us in total.
Two servings per person, and we'll order more if it's not enough.
Give that person what they ordered,"
Pi Xiaoqian said with a wave of his plump hand.
These were real tycoons.
The waiter certainly didn't hold back, ordering whatever was most expensive.
Caviar, goose barnacles, bluefin tuna, salmon, blue lobster – they ordered one of everything.
The diners were full of praise.
"I find that I'm not eating as well as you guys," Li Minxi said.
"What's good or not good? As long as you're full, that's what matters. Are you full?" Pi Xiaoqian asked.
"I'm full."
"Since we're full, let's go and 'beat up the local tyrants and divide their gold and silver.' Waiter, the bill."
"Thirty-eighty-four thousand eight hundred, sir."
"How much?" Pi Xiaoqian exclaimed, thinking he hadn't heard correctly.
"Thirty-eighty-four thousand eight hundred. Here is the bill."
The waiter handed over the bill.
"Hahaha, today we really did 'beat up the local tyrants'! Hahaha."
Li Minxi laughed so hard she could barely catch her breath.
"It's nothing. Just a small matter. We'll get it all back by finding a couple more,"
Pi Xiaoqian said while pulling out his bank card. "Swipe."
"Director Pi, you're so generous.
Yangzi, let him pick for himself later; don't help him.
I just can't stand seeing him like this,"
Li Minxi playfully taunted from the side.
"My dear little aunt, we've eaten and we've drunk. Can't we stop this, please?"
Pi Xiaoqian said with a distressed expression.
"Let's go. Do you still want to 'beat up the local tyrants'?" Guo Xuyang called out.
"Let's go, let's go. You're the boss. Whether my little heart can recover the money today depends on you,"
Pi Xiaoqian said as he waddled his plump body outwards.
"It's the same as before; let's enter separately.
Don't attract attention. Two per person. Pay and leave.
Last time, the commotion was a bit too much," Guo Xuyang said.
"Alright, no problem. I'll go in last," Pi Xiaoqian said.
The group arrived at the Yushun Jade Specialty Store. Just as they were about to go upstairs, Li Ziwen appeared.
"Director Guo, it's an honor to meet you."
Well, it seemed Guo Xuyang was being targeted and was under close observation.
