Wedding Preparation!

Mortgage myself?

Is there even such an operation?

Wu Jie looked Bai Fengling up and down.

She was indeed impressive!

Whether it was her appearance, figure, or personal charisma, her fame across the vast regions of the south and north was no fluke.

But this rush for quick success and focus on money were also considerable flaws!

Noting Wu Jie’s gaze, Bai Fengling said somewhat sheepishly:

“Jie, don’t get me wrong!

When I say I’ll mortgage myself to you, it means if I can’t pay back the debt in the future, I’ll work for you to earn money, not be your lover!”

“Even if I were willing, President Tang definitely would not be, and if she finds out, I’m afraid I wouldn’t even know how I died.”

Wu Jie chuckled: “It’s no wonder you’re in the film and entertainment industry, your way of speaking is certainly direct!”

“So, are you going to lend the money or not?” Bai Fengling pressed urgently: “As soon as I set up the company, I will start producing three movies, which I am very confident in.

I believe my judgment is not wrong, and at the very least, I can earn the money to pay you back after the Lunar New Year!”

Wu Jie immediately understood.

It turned out that among the eight film crews of today, only three had investment value.

“I see!

You have two million, right?

Mortgage your house, and I’ll lend you fifty million as initial capital, so you can start your company!”

“Once the shooting officially starts, I’ll invest in it under the guise of a shareholder.

Then, we’ll share the profits if we succeed, and if it fails, my loss will be limited to fifty million!”

“Moreover, if the works are really good, I might invest more than fifty million.

It’s possible I could double the investment.”

Bai Fengling nodded slightly: “Great!

Then I’ll gather people and organize things this weekend, and I’ll get the company up and running next week.

Hopefully, President Tang can attend the opening ceremony!”

Wu Jie smiled: “You want others to know that your company has the support of the Tang Family of Tianyuan behind it, right?”

“There’s no helping it!

It’s good to lean on a big tree for shade.

As a woman with no power, no influence, and no background, I have to resort to borrowing the tiger’s might.”

Bai Fengling candidly and generously admitted.

Wu Jie nodded slightly: “It’s good that you have ideas, but starting a business is not so easy.

You should have more discussions with Tang Xiao about how to run a business and face competition!”

“What discussion?

It’s proper to learn humbly!”

Bai Fengling responded with a smile.

Having received Wu Jie’s forgiveness and borrowed the startup capital, how could she not be happy?

Her smile brought her back to her true nature.

Every frown and smile was a delight to the eye.

At that moment,

Tang Xin and Tang Kun arrived, but both were foodies and headed straight for the fragrant kitchen.

Before long, Fang Qingya and Tang Xiao also arrived as promised.

Wu Jie and Zhang Biao started a game of chess, while Bai Fengling took Tang Xiao and Fang Qingya to the tea room.

Starting a company was a big deal, and since Fang Qingya had just started a business, she could learn from the experience.

And Tang Xiao, the well-known beautiful CEO who managed a Fortune 500 company with order and efficiency,

Her words were, of course, valuable, like moral teachings to be learned and remembered by the two.

As night fell,

The food was served.

A simple dinner turned into a lecture on ‘The Way to Run a Business’ by Tang Xiao.

Zhang Hao’s family, along with Bai Fengling and Fang Qingya, listened intently, occasionally asking various questions.

Zhu Cui, who always loved to learn, even recorded it with her phone.

These experiences of real-world business and corporate management couldn’t be learned in a classroom!

And Tang Xin and Tang Kun, who just wanted to finish eating and start playing mahjong, were extremely frustrated and could only eat and drink copiously.

Luckily, after everyone had eaten their fill, they finally stopped discussing serious matters.

The mahjong game began.

That night, Tang Xin was full of determination, bent on seeking revenge.

Even the throwing of dice to select seats was done with extra care, fearing that the wrong seating would bring bad luck.

Since Lin Yuan, Tang Le, and Tang Kang were not present, another table could not start a game.

It was the perfect time for everyone to discuss the menu for Wu Jie and Tang Xiao’s wedding banquet.

As they talked, Tang Xiao and Wu Jie glanced at each other and suddenly realized a major problem.

Damn!

Next weekend was the wedding banquet, and while the banquet itself was set, what about the wedding ceremony?

No wedding planner was hired for organizing and planning, for the stage setup, or for the full-process filming.

Best men and bridesmaids hadn’t been selected, red envelopes and gifts hadn’t been prepared, nor the fleet of wedding cars.

Although it was a fake marriage, Wu Jie and Tang Xiao as well as both families had already decided on a guideline.

It should not be unnecessarily extravagant, but the essentials must be there.

After figuring out the banquet, Wu Jie and Tang Xiao quickly excused themselves to head home.

In the car.

Tang Xiao was busy calling people.

Even with the tight timing, there was no wedding planning company that wouldn’t take a job if the price was right.

But it wasn’t hard to find a wedding planning company.

The real issues were many!

On the wedding day, who would provide the main wedding car and the filming car?

At the wedding site, should it be a romantic and elegant Western style or a grand and imposing Chinese style?

After choosing the style, they still needed to confirm the flow of events, and even rehearse.

Damn!

The two hadn’t thought anything through; how were they going to manage?

Tang Xiao was truly overwhelmed by the questions, so she could only placate the caller with promises to discuss it with her spouse that evening and meet in the store the next day before she hung up the phone.

“Oh my God!

Who knew there would be so much to do for a wedding?

So many details?”

Tang Xiao was really opening her eyes to a whole new world.

Wu Jie complained, “I’ve attended quite a few wedding banquets and thought they seemed pretty straightforward.

I never imagined it could be this complicated!”

“So, what do we do now?” Tang Xiao asked in astonishment.

Wu Jie shrugged, “How would I know?

I’ve never been married before, but…”

“Do you have any friends who’ve recently been through a wedding?

Call them up, find out exactly what the process and details are like, and we’ll get everything sorted over the weekend!”

Tang Xiao frowned in deep thought and immediately thought of someone.

After getting back home, Tang Xiao got a pen and paper and video chatted with Pang Juan.

She had Pang Juan explain in person what needed to be prepared and what to watch out for, going over everything.

“The process is simple.

In the morning, the groom’s side brings a motorcade and relatives to the bride’s house or hotel, use the cars to transport people to the site, and then start the wedding ceremony precisely at noon.

After it’s over, change clothes, and together with both parents, go around the tables to toast and thank the guests…”

“You need to have at least a pair of bridesmaids and groomsmen, all unmarried.

During the process of fetching the bride, the bridesmaids are responsible for giving the groom a hard time, while the groomsmen help the groom with the challenge.

During the wedding ceremony, they have to handle the rings, help carry drinks during toasts…”

“You must prepare wedding attire and toasting outfits, shoes as well, and it’s best to have someone to help with the makeup throughout.

If there are many kids at the banquet, you can’t skimp on preparing red envelopes…”

…

Wu Jie and Tang Xin listened attentively to Pang Juan’s words.

Only after everything was recorded did they realize the sheet of paper was completely filled with densely packed notes.

These were lessons learned from someone who’d been there!

After the video call, they looked at each other, both a bit stunned.

“Oh come on!

It can’t be this complicated!”

Wu Jie went through the list, feeling it was quite a daunting task.

No wonder Pang Juan, who had gone through a wedding, said the wedding day was a happy ordeal, utterly exhausting.

“It’s troublesome, but it still needs to be done!”

Tang Xiao frowned and asked, “How many relatives are actually coming from your hometown?

When will your parents bring them over?”

Wu Jie said, “On Friday!

They’ll fill just one table, but the trouble is, we haven’t prepared anything yet!”

With a slight frown, Tang Xiao thought for a moment before issuing commands like a CEO:

“Tomorrow we’ll go to a wedding planning company first to finalize the fetching of the bride and the wedding ceremony, scout out the venue together, and then decide on the route for fetching the bride.

The day after tomorrow we’ll shop for clothes, shoes, red envelopes, and wedding candies and other small items, while also deciding on the bridesmaids and groomsmen!”

“As for the motorcade, let the wedding planners set up a camera car, and we’ll provide the main wedding car ourselves.

We can call on relatives and friends to drive and follow along.

That will be our motorcade, right?”

“Additionally, as Pang Juan mentioned, we must prepare plenty of red envelopes and cigarettes and the like.

We will definitely use a lot on the wedding day, so you’re in charge of that!”

Wu Jie laughed and said, “Alright!

But the red envelopes need to vary in size: for the bridesmaids and groomsmen, the drivers, the children—they all need to be different.

And cigarettes, they come in different types too, so what should we get?”

Tang Xiao frowned, “The red envelopes will be in three sizes: two thousand, one thousand, and two hundred.

Prepare more of the small ones, just in case we run out and it becomes awkward.

As for the cigarettes, let’s go with Zhonghua.

The red packaging looks festive!”

…

Together, they reviewed the items Pang Juan had reminded them of, discussing and confirming each one.

They were so busy that before they knew it, it was already late into the night.

Gurgle gurgle gurgle!

The sound of hunger came from their stomachs.

They were hungry again.

Tang Xiao turned to look at Wu Jie, who was sending out electronic invitations.

“Jie, are you done yet?”

What a mushy tone that was!

Wu Jie turned around in surprise, seeing Tang Xiao’s smiling face, and suddenly felt that nothing good was coming.

“Almost done, what are you planning?”

“I’m hungry!

Can you go make some midnight snack for me?” Tang Xiao said with a smile.

With a sheepish grin, Wu Jie replied, “When you punched me this morning, you had plenty of strength and temper, didn’t you?

Now you’re hungry, and you remember to ask me for help?”

“Who asked you to bully me before?

Let’s call it even with that one punch I gave you!”

Tang Xiao said quite open-mindedly.

“Alright!

But what’s in it for me if I make you a midnight snack?” Wu Jie teased with a playful smile.

“A payoff?

Well, I could just pay when we order from the wedding planners tomorrow!”

Tang Xiao casually replied.

Wu Jie put down his phone, moved towards Tang Xiao, and said with a smile, “Do I look like someone who’s short of a few thousand bucks to you?

You know what I want.

It’ll only take a second.

If you’re shy, you could just close your eyes!”

Tang Xiao huffed emphatically, “Trying to kiss me again?

Dream on!

Worst case, I’ll just order takeout!”

Picking up her phone, Tang Xiao got ready to get up and leave.

However, Wu Jie quickly grabbed her in an instant.

“Why order takeout?

I’ll go make you a midnight snack.

In return, don’t lock your door tonight, okay?”

“No!

Absolutely not!”

Tang Xiao struggled, trying to get up.

“I promise I’ll be just as well-behaved as before, I won’t mess around,” Wu Jie murmured softly.

“I’m not used to not having you sleep next to me.

Can’t you agree to such a small request?

Besides, it’s not the first time we’re sharing a room.

Don’t you trust me?”

Tang Xiao bit her lip and said, “Then you have to wear an extra pair of shorts!”

With that, Tang Xiao struggled to get up and hurriedly dodged away.

“I’m going to swim now.

I want that midnight snack in twenty minutes, or you’re not getting into my room!”

“Okay!

Take your time swimming, I’ll have it ready fast!”

Wu Jie immediately stood up and went to the kitchen to cook and fry up some dishes as quickly as possible.

After everything was done, he quickly changed into swim trunks and dashed to the swimming room, diving into the pool.

Splash!

Water splashed everywhere!

Tang Xiao, who was swimming, immediately let out a scream and scolded loudly:

“Ah…

you jerk!

Who let you in here?”
