Today, his uncle still has to worry about his wedding matters; his questions will be answered in time.

Dad, do you have something for the three of us to handle? Xiao Yuchun asked playfully.

Xiao Ming was amused by the little girl's cute appearance: "Indeed, she's my daughter; she knows what I'm thinking."

Tomorrow is your brother Junrong's wedding; we need to start arranging the preparations.

You three, stay by your young master's side; if anything needs arranging, go ahead and take care of it.

Understood, Dad, you can relax.

The several children replied in unison.

Xiao Ming nodded satisfied, then said to Xiao Yunzhe and Geng Jing Shu: "In this world, aside from you few, I only have my young master as my closest blood relative."

You've seen the situation; our Xiao family can't let others see everything. The bride's side wants a grand affair, so we'll go big—make the scale as large as possible.

Jing Shu, contact your sister and invite her and her husband to attend the wedding; also tell them that anyone willing to come is welcome in our Xiao family.

Junrong is, after all, a child of the Xiao family; this wedding must be the most grandiose in Yun City's history.

Okay, Dad, I'll get on it right away. After agreeing, Geng Jing Shu immediately contacted her close friend Ning Rou, explained the situation, and since the Xiao family has few relatives or friends, she asked Ning Rou and her husband to invite more friends to bolster the entourage.

Upon hearing this, Ning Rou and her husband happily agreed: "Jing Shu, we'll handle this—we'll definitely bring plenty of people to support the event."

After hanging up with Geng Jing Shu, Ning Rou and her husband Wang De'an instantly became overjoyed.

Wang De'an jumped up excitedly: "Honey, I never imagined we'd have a connection with someone as big as Xiao Ming; we must handle this splendidly—maybe just a word from him could catapult us to the pinnacle of life."

"Such an opportunity is rare; we must seize this thigh tightly." After saying this happily, Wang De'an rushed out excitedly.

Ning Rou quickly called out to him: "Honey, where are you going?"

"To invite people." Wang De'an replied: "Your good friend wants to bolster the scene, right? We've seen firsthand how the bride's family is overbearing and aloof, boasting about their many relatives and demanding face, even asking to raise the banquet's standard. So we'll invite a huge crowd to let them see whose side really has more people."

"Honey, I can already picture the bride's family being humbled—haha."

Twenty minutes later, Wang De'an arrived at the bureau and stormed into the office of one of his superiors, Sun Xian'gui.

"Boss, I'm here to request leave, and also to invite you to join me at a grand wedding."

Wang De'an, since joining the bureau, has always followed him; they are both mentor and friend, with a good relationship.

Sun Xian listened, waved his hand: "Go away, go away—I don't have time to attend a wedding with you; tomorrow we have an important matter to handle, get ready and bring me along."

"I'm not going, and you can't either; it's a major matter—we'll discuss it after tomorrow."

If it were an ordinary wedding, he wouldn't naturally ask for leave, let alone drag a leader along—but this wedding is different from others.

Wang De'an said gleefully: "Gui, if you don't go to this wedding today, you'll surely regret it—it's the wedding of a big shot; if it weren't for my wife's slight connection with them, we wouldn't even have the qualifications to attend."

"Tsk!" Sun Xian'gui sneered, lifting his eyelids at Wang De'an: "Still a big shot? Earlier, our bureau chief held a celebration, and I set aside my work to attend the wedding. Are you saying this so-called big shot is even more impressive than our chief?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang De'an firmly nodded: "Exactly, he's even more impressive than our chief, and not just by a little—Brother Gui, this is the wedding of the wealthiest person in Wuxing Country; tell me, should we go? Isn't this a rare opportunity?"

"The wealthiest person in Wuxing Country?" Sun Xian'gui blinked, doubtful: "What international joke are you making?"

Wang De'an laughed heartily: "Who's joking with you?"

"Xiao Ming, CEO of Minghui Group, also of Inscribe Joy Group, Xin Feng..." Wang De'an recounted everything he knew to Wang Xian'gui: "Have you followed the earlier uproar about the 'Zihuan' rocket? The largest shareholder of AT Red Space Technology is a person named Xiao Ming from our Wuxing Country—that Xiao Ming is the one I'm talking about."

"Xiao Ming?" At that, Sun Xian'gui was left stunned.

That incident was all over the internet at the time—how could he not know?

"You, you're really saying this?" Sun Xian'gui asked uncertainly, jumping up from his chair.

"It must be true." Afterwards, Wang De'an told Sun Xian'gui everything he knew: "Brother Gui, I'm qualified to attend because my wife and Xiao Ming's future daughter-in-law are close friends."

"Xiao Ming's nephew is getting married; given our good relationship, could I not tell you? If we go, take some photos and videos—when we come back, our colleagues will surely think highly of us."

"If luck is on our side, we might even embark on the pinnacle of life from here." Wang De'an said delightedly.

"Let's participate, let's go—this opportunity is too rare to pass up."

After Sun Xian'gui understood the full story, he spoke firmly.

Sun Xian'gui, having risen to his position in the bureau, certainly understands the significance of this opportunity; he immediately said happily: "Sure, De'an—it's not in vain that we're brothers; you actually managed to forge such a connection and haven't forgotten me."

Sun Xian'gui patted Wang De'an on the shoulder, never expecting that their friendship would prove so useful.

People like him and Wang De'an, ordinary citizens who have reached their current positions, have already exerted all their effort; if they wish to climb higher, it would rely entirely on luck, and opportunities are slim.

However, if there is joy to be had, the chance for promotion could be enormous.

If they could even slightly connect with a magnate like Xiao Ming, they could save decades of struggle; such an important opportunity, if lightly passed up, would be foolish.

"De'an, you said that this magnate's relatives are few, his uncle's family has hardly any friends—is that why we're being asked to bolster the scene?" Sun Xian'gui calmly considered Wang De'an's words.

After Wang De'an nodded, Sun Xian'gui said nothing more and immediately ran out.

"Eh? Brother Gui, what are you up to?" Wang De'an was completely bewildered.

"I'm going to find Luo Zong." Sun Xian'gui explained: "With such a magnate coming to our Yun City, it's like an emperor visiting the common folk—a once-in-a-thousand-years event; we must put on a good show. If we seize it well, just as you said, reaching the pinnacle of life could be a matter of minutes."
