Li Minxi's side had started the festivities, while Xiao Yu's group was still engrossed in conversation.
"Xiao Yu, we're flying to Basi together tomorrow, so take it easy today," Ye Zi said, driving.
"Get out of here. Today is Xiao Yu's big day, why should we take it easy? Are you suggesting Lü Liang should sleep on the floor?" Xin Rui asked.
"What are you thinking? I meant be careful you won't be able to walk tomorrow," Ye Zi retorted.
"Is Lü Liang that powerful? I only know Yang Zi is powerful, I didn't expect Lü Liang to be so formidable," Xin Rui said.
"Can you talk properly? If not, shut your mouth." Ye Zi, seeing Xin Rui getting increasingly off-topic, told her to be quiet.
"Should we pack some clothes for tomorrow?" Xia Li interjected, changing the subject.
"Go back and check the weather there. It's a tropical and subtropical region, so it's best to bring some summer clothes," Yu Er said. She had gone with them last time, and though she hadn't forgotten Guo Xuyang, she still recalled the trip.
"Didn't Xiao Xi arrange for her team to prepare everything we need? We only need to bring a few personal clothes," Ye Zi said.
"If absolutely necessary, we can buy things locally. Since we're going out, we'll surely buy some characteristic clothes and items," Yu Er added.
"Ye Zi is right. Since we're going out, we'll definitely spend time sightseeing and shopping. There's no need to pack too much," Yu Er agreed.
"Wang Yu, I heard you're also participating in the group wedding with Pi Xiaoqian this time?" Ye Zi asked.
"That's right. President Pi told me and I was a bit stunned. It's happening so fast," Wang Yu replied.
"It seems President Wu and President Xu are also attending," Xiao Yu added from the side.
"Will that Mrs. Wu be willing? Isn't she pregnant?" Xia Li asked.
"President Xu and President Wu have been together for years, but President Wu never gave her consent. Perhaps this time, because President Xu is also pregnant, they are joining the trip together," Xiao Yu explained.
"They are quite a powerful combination. One is in Shanghai, the other in Kyoto; both are major figures in their regions," Ye Zi commented.
"You're right. Now that you mention it, those two truly control half of the jade market." Xia Li exclaimed.
"Xu Liping controls most of the jade sales in Shanghai, and Wu Youzhi occupies nearly half the share in Kyoto."
"What do you mean by that?" Ye Zi inquired.
"One should not harbor ill intentions, but one must guard against them. If that couple truly gets married, a large portion of this jade will pass through their hands."
"I believe they are not that kind of people. Moreover, Yang Zi controls the source of rough jade. Those two won't have ulterior motives; we can put our minds at ease about that," Ye Zi said.
"You're absolutely right. I know it's not right to speculate about them like this. But wealth can be tempting. When wealth reaches a certain level, even comparable to a nation's, I know I truly cannot resist it."
"You manage so many rough jade stones every day, and almost all the goods are sold through you. I haven't seen you make any major mistakes," Ye Zi remarked.
"I truly consider myself part of the Guo family, so I cannot tolerate even the slightest loss. Furthermore, there are several people jointly helping with the appraisal, so such things cannot be faked."
"President Wu has a life-and-death friendship with President Guo. If that's the case, I believe Wu Youzhi wouldn't do something to dig his own grave. After all, this circle is very small. If he dares to do something like that, he won't be able to mix in this circle anymore."
