Chapter 118: Wedding Celebration Company

It's nothing…

Ye Shu sat on the sofa, internally muttering, why does Su Xi look at Su Yu so sternly? His desire to control is over the top. He used to think Su Xi was a brother‑complex, but now it seems he's a daughter‑slave? Ye Shu suddenly wanted to see Su Yu and Su Yi get into a conflict—who would Su Xi side with?

Go ahead, what's the matter?

I'm looking for Su Yu to discuss something. Not you!

Where she goes, I will go too.

Let Ye Shu take Su Yu out? Impossible!

I want Su Yu to be a mascot at the proposal ceremony. The kind that follows you around!

【Huh? The proposal time and venue are already set? That was fast!】

You've already chosen the time and place?

No, I'm coming to pick up Xiao Yu and go check the venue together. Mainly I want to employ Su Yu and Liang Yan to prank the Lin family children that Lu Zhongda brought.

He remembers that Zhu Xueheng also dislikes the Lin family. From yesterday's data, Lu Zhongda used a pawn to fill the hole that Zhu Xueheng dug for the Lin family.

Time!

Ye Shu originally wanted to say "right away," but upon seeing Su Xi's pajamas, he said, "I'll message Zhu Xueheng now, have him bring Liang Yan here. Once everyone is gathered, we'll set off together!"

On the other side, Zhu Xueheng was worrying about how to settle Liang Yan. That old bastard was acting like a madman, trying every trick to deal with the Zhu Clan. Liang Lijiang was overwhelmed and needed help. But the old bastard kept eyeing Liang Yan, wanting to take him away. If he went to the company, he'd be too busy to look after Liang Yan.

Hey, what's up?

Are you sure?

Zhu Xueheng found it unbelievable. Su Xi used to either work overtime to earn money or work overtime to sleep. Now that he has a kid, is this just another hobby that follows the child?

Of course, he's like an auto‑following NPC. I told him not to go, and he kept blasting the air‑conditioner, really fierce!

Ye Shu absolutely didn't want Su Xi to follow. A humanoid monitor with sky‑high combat power just standing there—one second he was negotiating the terms of a setup with Su Yu and Liang Yan, the next second he would probably get beaten up by Su Xi.

Fine, I'll send Liang Yan over.

Liang Yan didn't need Zhu Xueheng's help at all; the moment she heard it was to go to the Su Family, she quickly grabbed a small suitcase and got ready to leave.

Zhu Xueheng escorted Liang Yan to the Su Family, watching her walk away without looking back, feeling conflicted. He felt like a parent dropping a child off at kindergarten; the one who walked away coolly was Liang Yan, and the one who wanted to cry was him!

Xiao Yu, little sister, I'm coming to your house to play!

Huo Huo, have you had breakfast?

Already ate!

Great, let's go together to see uncle's proposal venue!

【Finally I can be free! What does an adult fight have to do with me, a little brat? Why do I have to hold a book and read? Does my voice have some calming effect?】

Su Xi really wanted to tell her, no, he was just disturbed from his sleep, lost his day off, and seeing her carefree, only thinking about going out, made him a bit annoyed.

Sure!

Being stuck at the company every day, Liang Yan is fed up!

This time going out, Su Xi brought four bodyguards, two men and two women, specifically to protect Su Yu and Liang Yan.

You made this arrangement as if someone were going to assassinate you!

Ye Shu was sent by Su Xi to be the driver. Watching the two escort cars front and back, he thought Su Xi was overly nervous! This is the capital city; even late at night wandering around can't cause trouble, so there's no need for two escort cars. He's just going to see the venue, not to smash it.

Be careful steering the millennium ship!

Alright then!

Ye Shu and his party arrived at the renowned wedding celebration company in the circle.

Weren't we supposed to go see the venue? Why are we at a company?

Liang Yan looked at the surrounding buildings, surprised. She had thought they'd go to some outdoor park or the sea, so why are we still at a company?

We'll first ask the company for some materials, pick what we like, then go see the site in person.

Liang Yan nodded, "So we pick what little sister Xiao Yu and I like?"

Su Yu shook her head, "No, it's uncle who chooses what he likes; we're just here to have fun."

"Oh~"

Ye Shu gave Su Xi a conflicted glance, but said nothing; he brought them here simply to have them take care of the two Lin family children.

Fine, let's just consider the two Lin family children lucky!

"Where's my private suite and the booked proposal consulting team?"

Ye Shu went to the agreed spot, didn't see the welcoming consulting team, and looked at the staff leading the way with some displeasure.

"Sorry, I'll check that for you right away, please wait!"

The staff were also bewildered. They were a professional team; if a client had a reservation, they usually wouldn't take other orders that day, to avoid any mishaps.

In all these years, the accidents they've had are few and far between; they didn't expect such a low‑level mistake as "missing a booked client" today!

The staff offered delicate tea and snacks, asking someone to check whether Ye Shu had made a reservation and why the team hadn't arrived.

"What? Everyone from the Ji family is leaving? That doesn't comply with our company's regulations."

"But she's marrying into the Qi family! The Qi family's young master wants people, so the boss let all the teams go through."

The Qi family handles the market sector. Ji Xiaoling's marriage alliance with the Qi family makes her a Qi family member. If the boss wants a peaceful life later, he can't offend her.

The receptionist muttered softly, "She's not even a real miss, yet she puts on such an airs, and even complains our team is slow!"

She didn't book in advance; she shows up that day and expects the entire team to serve only her. What is she thinking?

Luckily today it was the more easy‑going Ye Shu who made the reservation; if they faced another difficult client, they'd be caught between two angry sides!

"What about the Ye family then? Should you go in and let the people inside disappear?"

"No, she demands every team be present on site; even the ones she doesn't like must 'learn' from the other teams' experience, reflect on why she chose other teams over them."

At this moment, the staff handling Ye Shu wanted to call him a lunatic!

"How should I reply to Mr. Ye?"

"Let them change to another one?"

The staff member in charge of receiving Ji Xiaoling said blandly.

"She even had the manager get lunch for her, so she'll definitely have to stay until the afternoon."

Could Ye Shu possibly wait that long?

Impossible!

"Isn't this about sending money to the other side?"

"Otherwise, do you want to anger someone?"

Ji Xiaoling keeps monopolizing people without letting go; can they still make Ye Shu wait forever? If Ye Shu finds out that the boss ruined his appointment, no one in Ye Shu's circle will consider their company anymore.

"Mr. Ye, we're very sorry, our team has encountered some issues and cannot provide you with good service today; please forgive us!"

The staff member said this while presenting the company's standard apology gift.

"Not even for the whole day?"

Ye Shu was surprised: this company has so many teams, yet they can't assemble a complete team for an entire day?

"Yes, we're very sorry, our company truly cannot provide service today! Please understand!"

Ye Shu nodded and, in front of the staff member, called to ask whether the next wedding‑celebration company's team was available.

"None? Alright!"

"Hmm, I'll think about it again! Another company might be able to do it earlier."

"What? None either—did your several companies' teams agree to rebel on the same day?"

Ye Shu called three highly reputed wedding‑celebration companies and got the same answer: those companies cannot accommodate him today.

"Are the staff of your four companies staging some coordinated protest? The teams can't even take a client!"

Ye Shu no longer hurried to leave; he saw Su Yu having Liang Yan lift a watermelon, scooping it with a small spoon while chatting. He also took the same piece and watched the receiving staff.

The staff member was initially bewildered—how could teams from other companies also be unable to take a client? After she recovered, a feeling of utter exasperation surged inside her.

She boldly guessed that there was a competitor's spy inside the company!

She also planned to watch the commotion at other companies to see how they offended Ye Shu or Ji Xiaoling, but that turned out impossible!

In the end, only their company got hurt! And the boss will only deduct their wages to cover the loss!

"It might be because they received news that Miss Ji intends to go to their company."

Earlier the staff member intended to keep it hidden, but competitors had already let them scout ahead. If she kept it hidden again, there's no guarantee a competitor wouldn't tell Ye Shu the truth, disappointing him about their company.

"Miss Ji? Someone from the Ji family?"

Only then did Ye Shu recall that the Ji family's young lady was indeed not that young.

【Is it Ji Xiaoling?】

"Yes, Miss Ji Xiaoling; she's about to have an affair with young master Qi!"

【Not at all. After the Qi surname was exposed, they had an actual marriage with a film star and even a child. The Ji family's alliance with the Qi family was thus called off! The man Ji Xiaoling was to marry also siphoned off some money and fled abroad with that film star. I recall that later Qin Yuanjun also took the Qi surname; when his family opposed him, he took that little white flower abroad.】

"The Qi family!"

Ye Shu's mind flashed with a storm. The Ji family seemed to have no connection with the few companies, but the Qi family and the Ming family are rivals, and Su Xi collaborates with the Ming family. Roughly speaking, he naturally sides with the Ming family.

"They," Ye Shu pointed to the large conference room over there, "aren't you making things difficult, also delaying other people's wedding progress?"

The staff member nodded vigorously in her heart. Isn't that right? This delay isn't a tiny bit! The boss is a capitalist who spares no expense yet loves to deduct money. If the people in the conference room stay overtime to catch up, these people will also be forced to stay and help with odd jobs. But they don't care about overtime pay deducted from their bonuses; they just hope to work normal hours.

The staff member thought that way but didn't dare say it aloud; she thought of a perfect scapegoat and said, "We all follow the boss!"

Whatever the boss says, they do; the boss is to blame for everything—if there's a problem, go to him, not to us innocent workers!

Ye Shu shook his head, "You can't say that; be careful the boss hears and takes it seriously!"

The staff member forced an awkward fake smile. Ye Shu's temper was indeed good. With that remark, she didn't even know how to respond!

"What about the person who customized the business at your company? Won't they come?"

The staff member nodded; of course they wouldn't come.

"We have already notified most of the distinguished guests. Your case is a special situation; we haven't logged it yet."

"If Ji Xiaoling leaves, can my appointment continue?"

"Of course it can!"

The staff member's eyes lit up. She thought the order would be discarded, but it could still be taken back.

"Miss Ji isn't satisfied with our company's proposal; she's been revising and perfecting it in the conference room. Our manager has thoughtfully prepared lunch for Miss Ji. You can come after lunch; I'll add your account and give you a real‑time briefing of the situation here."

As soon as Ji Xiaoling goes to sabotage another wedding‑celebration company, she will immediately notify their team to wait here for Ye Shu.

Ye Shu was indifferent; he looked at Su Xi, who nodded.

So the group went to a nearby mall.

"Shopping again?"

Ye Shu nodded, "Yes, I'll foot the bill, you're not happy?"

Su Yu nodded, "Not happy; our family lacks nothing."

Liang Yan also nodded repeatedly. Her family also lacks nothing; if something were missing, someone would bring it in.

Shopping too much gets boring, especially since the items here look much like what they've shopped before.

"There's nothing interesting here; we've seen similar things!"

It's a mall, just those few brands.

"Shall we go eat something?"

Su Yu thought that was fine. She nodded, "Huo Huo, do you want to go?"

"I want to go over there with you!"

The group chose a hot‑pot restaurant, entered, and while simmering hot pot they waited for news from the wedding‑celebration company.

Ye Shu went to get the seasonings and saw an unexpected person.

How is Lu Zhongda here? He actually brought the Lin family's child to try to extort his fiancée?

Upon seeing the Lin family's child, the thought Ye Shu had suppressed of having Su Yu and Liang Yan tidy up those two little rascals grew like weeds!

This is a great opportunity!

Ye Shu brought the seasonings back and saw Su Yu already focused on eating hot pot. Liang Yan stood beside, holding the public chopsticks, carefully scooping out the tasty bits and giving them to Su Yu.

They kept eating hot pot until Ye Shu almost gave up the idea. It was so late that the Lin family's child was probably playing elsewhere, so he wouldn't make things difficult for Su Yu and Liang Yan.

"Tsk, Ji Xiaoling hasn't left yet—are other companies eagerly awaiting her?"

【How could that be! Who would like a customer who acts high and mighty, truly treating themselves as God?】

Su Xi didn't think so: "Getting actual benefits, attitude isn't a problem."

As long as the Qi family is willing to give these wedding companies benefits, the employees working there, including the boss, will basically bow and scrape to Ji Xiaoling—whatever she says goes!

Ye Shu closed his eyes and opened them again; in his peripheral vision he saw a familiar child. Huh? How could the child Lu Zhongda was looking at still be running around everywhere?

Ye Shu saw the small child running and climbing everywhere, and his heart stirred again. This is the perfect opportunity to deal with both children!

Once we scare them thoroughly, they won't dare to play dirty tricks again!

Ye Shu decided on the spot, planning to take Su Yu and Liang Yan elsewhere to discuss. He had leverage, so he wasn't worried they wouldn't be moved!

Thanks for the votes, cuties~

Monthly ticket bonus progress: 1/10~

Adults are just like that—when they see kids at home they want them to go out and play, but when they see kids out playing they complain the kids aren't home, making things complicated and contradictory.

All done~
