However, in Zhu Youcai's eyes, just this condition alone is enough to give Chu Ge a headache. When the time comes, he can just pick a high-end place to have a meal, and at least get a little revenge by making Chu Ge spend a big chunk of his salary.

Thinking about Chu Ge spending one or two months' wages on a meal and then eating instant noodles and buns every day, the corners of Zhu Youcai's mouth involuntarily curled up.

Immersed in his beautiful fantasy, Zhu Youcai didn't even notice Lin Fang and another girl desperately giving him looks.

It's not that they were particularly on Zhu Youcai's side, but because they all came from the same orphanage, and they already knew the outcome of the bet, they didn't want any awkwardness.

Zhu Youcai didn't notice this, but Cao Xu saw it clearly. Feeling quite assured, he also raised his own mouth's corners and patted Chu Ge on the shoulder, nodding first.

"Alright, I'll agree on behalf of Chu Ge. Chu Ge, you have no objections, right?"

Chu Ge looked at Cao Xu speechlessly, and then at Zhu Youcai, who was also smiling, and shook his head with a wry smile, "Okay, enough with the joking around. It really is Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan; they'll be out in a moment."

It wasn't a matter of sparing Zhu Youcai's face, but rather because this was Shi Tong's big day. He didn't want this fool, with God-knows-what in his head, to cause a scene on such a wonderful occasion.

"What?"

Hearing this, Zhu Youcai's short and thick brow furrowed sharply; he instinctively yelled out in disbelief and looked again at Lin Fang.

Lin Fang helplessly shrugged and nodded, "Section Chief Zhu, you really are something. They wanted to keep the surprise until the last moment, and you just had to make a bet, huh?"

Zhu Youcai's mouth twitched twice, and unwillingly he directed his gaze at the other girl who had gone out with Lin Fang. This was his last hope.

Unfortunately, in his line of sight, that girl also nodded, "It's true. Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan are in the休息室right now."

With Chu Ge having said so, and both girls nodding, the table erupted into chaos. Even though this had been confirmed several times, the majority of people still looked incredulous, almost as if they would pop their eyes out of their sockets.

"This is impossible! With Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan's status, how could they possibly come to host Stone's wedding?"

At this moment, the one with the ugliest expression was naturally Zhu Youcai, who had been basking in smugness just seconds ago. His eyes widened, reacting quite fiercely as he asked.

His tone was filled not only with absolute shock but also a slight sense of looking down on Shi Tong.

Even though what he said wasn't wrong, the way it sounded made everyone present feel pretty uncomfortable. The majority at the table furrowed their brows, and because Zhu Youcai's voice was quite loud, several neighboring tables also looked over.

The girl who had been asked the question by Zhu Youcai didn't give him an easy time either, somewhat mockingly saying, "Whether it's possible or not, these are the facts. Chu Ge's influence is just that big. Just now, when Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan arrived, they were all polite in front of him."

With this, the muscles in Zhu Youcai's face twitched a few times and everyone's gaze simultaneously turned toward Chu Ge.

Under all these stares, Chu Ge chuckled, "Actually, it's not my influence. I asked our chairman for a favor, and the two of them came because of our chairman's face."

Although Chu Ge said this, the look of astonishment in everyone's eyes didn't lessen much. They hadn't expected Chu Ge would go to their chairman on Shi Tong's behalf, let alone that their chairman would actually agree to help.

After all, no matter how close Chu Ge might be with that chairman, it wasn't Chu Ge getting married, but rather his friend. His boss sure was unusually enthusiastic, huh?

Sensing the amazement in the group's eyes, as Chu Ge's brother, Liang Jinjiang felt a sense of satisfaction in standing up for Chu Ge, and couldn't help but chuckle while patting Chu Ge on the shoulder.

"Chu Ge, your chairman really treats you well. Letting you drive an Audi A8 or a Maserati, and even helping find a host for your friend's wedding. Do you two have something going on?"

Hearing Liang Jinjiang say this, Cao Xu also got interested, "Jinjiang, is Chu Ge's chairman a woman?"

Liang Jinjiang nodded, "Mm, not only a woman but also a stunning beauty, someone around our age. In Lidu, she's definitely quite a character."

At this point, everyone's gaze on Chu Ge was filled with a bit of realization, a bit of ambiguity, and a bit of envy, finally coming to terms with the fact that Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan were here.

Cao Xu laughed heartily, "Chu Ge, impressive! Your chairman's really going all out for you. I bet you've done a lot for her too, right?"

Even though there were a few women at the table, everyone had long passed the age of blushing over such topics and joined in the laughter, with expressions that seemed to say, "So that's how it is."

A beautiful female chairman, and a young male driver, not to mention this beautiful chairman treating Chu Ge so well—it was simply too intriguing.

Teased by Cao Xu, Chu Ge couldn't help but roll his eyes, but before he could say anything, Lin Fang chimed in with a teasing comment.

"Chu Ge, it seems like you're on the path to getting promoted to General Manager, becoming a CEO, winning over a beautiful and rich woman, and reaching the peak of your life. Isn't it a bit exciting just thinking about it?"

"Hahaha..."

Lin Fang's words instantly livened up the atmosphere, making everyone burst into laughter, except for Chu Ge who was increasingly at a loss about what to do with all the laughter. What were they even talking about? Luckily, Qin Ruojing wasn't here. If she heard this, who knows how angry she'd be.

Amidst the laughter, Zhu Youcai utterly failed to join in, his face turning various shades of blue and white. Watching Chu Ge bask in attention, he felt like his face was being slapped over and over.

Unfortunately, the saying goes, what you fear comes true. Even though he was unusually quiet, Cao Xu suddenly glanced at him and said casually, "By the way, Youcai, didn't you just say you were going to quit your job and follow Chu Ge?"

Zhu Youcai managed to force out a smile uglier than crying, "That... uh... it's just a joke, all just jokes, hahaha..."

Liang Jinjiang pretended to be surprised and looked at Zhu Youcai, "A joke? I thought you sounded quite serious just now? You really have talent, Youcai. It's been a while since I've seen someone make such a fresh and unconventional joke."

Zhu Youcai's face turned even redder, yet everyone was looking at him with shared disdain. Even though he was fuming inside and wanted to leave, he had no choice but to endure, or else he'd only become more of a laughingstock.

While people's thoughts were open and receptive, showing more enthusiasm towards Chu Ge and more contempt towards Zhu Youcai, Shi Tong and the bride Wang Na's parents walked into the lounge room.

As soon as they entered, Shi Tong and Wang Na's parents froze. In their vision, Wang Na, wearing her white wedding dress, was unexpectedly full of tears, shoulders trembling with sobs, her bridal makeup completely ruined by crying.

Across from Wang Na stood two slender women with their backs to the door.

Seeing this situation, Wang Na's parents immediately got angry, thinking these two women were bullying their precious daughter. Father Wang scowled and angrily demanded, "What's going on? Who are these two? Who let them in?"

The two were, of course, Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan, but before they could turn around and explain, Wang Na suddenly stood up and leapt into the arms of Shi Tong, who had just entered and casually closed the door.

"Husband, I love you, I love you, I love you! I'm crazy about you! I... I never knew you treated me so well!"

Once again, Wang Na's parents were stunned, completely lost on what was happening.

In fact, not only Wang Na's parents, but even Shi Tong was completely bewildered. From dating to today's wedding, Wang Na had never hugged him so tightly, let alone continuously said "I love you" so many times.

"Na... Nana, you... what's going on?"

Wang Na furiously wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and only then did she leave Shi Tong's embrace, crying and laughing as she said, "Husband, it turns out you prepared such a big surprise for me, you actually invited Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan for our wedding!"

"Uh... uh?"

Shi Tong became even more confused, stared blankly for two seconds, and finally turned his gaze to behind Wang Na.

Seeing this, Shi Tong's pupils sharply contracted, even though Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan had already turned towards him, smiling broadly, he couldn't quite believe his eyes.

"Mr. Shi Tong, hello, we're so pleased to be here hosting your wedding and witnessing your great love with Miss Wang Na. We hope you're satisfied."

Chen Jiatong said smilingly, while Xu Jingyuan picked up a makeup kit and smiled at Wang Na, "Come here, bride, I'll do your touch-up. Today is your big day; after shedding tears of joy, let's bloom with happiness."

Still shell-shocked, Shi Tong could only nod repeatedly, "Satisfied... satisfied, of course."

But it was Wang Na's mother, who enjoyed watching TV dramas, who eagerly pulled her husband's arm, her eyes fixed on Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan in presenter attire, looking excited.

"You're... aren't you Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan? Are you really here to host my daughter's wedding?"

Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan nodded with smiles, greeting in unison as juniors, "Hello, Uncle and Aunt."

Hearing Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan's voices again, Shi Tong finally snapped out of his daze, and with some difficulty opened his mouth, "Are you... Chu..."

But before he finished his sentence, Chen Jiatong cut him off with a smile.

"Mr. Shi, in this joyous moment, let's talk about you and Miss Wang's happy topic first. Jiatong and I need you to answer some questions for us. Can you cooperate with us, okay?"

Shi Tong and Wang Na quickly nodded, feeling both nervous, sweet, and happy.

In fact, at this moment, Chen Jiatong and Xu Jingyuan were even more invested in this wedding than they were, after all, it was a chance to make a good impression in front of Young Master Chu.
