76: Engagement banquet

"President Fu, Madam, these are the gold styles we have prepared. Please take a look."

"Alright."

Jiang Li took the style images.

They were all modern, trendy designs.

Rings

Necklaces

Bracelets

Earrings

Pendants

The styles of the 'Five Golds' were exceptionally beautiful; even Jiang Li couldn't help but feel tempted.

Ever since Fu Xiangqi learned that Lili liked money, he had become quite unpretentious in his approach.

He wanted the most expensive of everything.

Seeing this, the owner of the gold shop explained, "Madam, these are all twenty grams, but of course, if you want a different weight, we can accommodate any amount."

"Alright, I understand."

After Jiang Li finished making her selections,

The store manager brought out a Phoenix Hairpin.

"Madam, this hairpin was just finished. Please take a look and see what you think?"

He was a bit nervous; after all, when President Fu made the arrangements, the deadline was tight and the task was heavy, so they had been rushing.

Fortunately, it was delivered this morning.

Jiang Li hadn't expected a Phoenix Hairpin. "Qiqi, did you arrange this?"

Fu Xiangqi smiled and asked, "Does Lili like it?"

"I love it, I definitely love it."

"That's good. Send it to Bailin Garden Island in a while."

"Certainly, President Fu."

Afterward, the two of them went to a pearl shop.

He had noticed that Lili occasionally wore quite a few pearl accessories, so he came here to customize some.

In the end, Jiang Li customized a whole series of pearl jewelry.

Then they went to the headquarters of the wedding planning team.

This was an engagement banquet, and it had to be grand; no mistakes could be allowed.

"President Fu, Madam, this is our designer for today."

"Hello."

"Hello, Madam. If you have any requirements, you can tell me."

"Alright."

"I'm leaning more toward a Chinese-style engagement banquet."

"Madam, that's no problem at all."

Fu Xiangqi received a phone call. He gave Jiang Li a nod and stepped away to take it.

Jiang Li continued communicating with the designer.

On Fu Xiangqi's end: "What's wrong?"

"President Fu, the required crystals are temporarily insufficient."

"Then replace them with diamonds."

"If we do that, all the lighting fixtures will be changed to diamonds."

“Mm, I understand. There are several diamond mines in South Africa; just contact Meng Wenrui."

"Certainly, President Fu."

The person who hung up immediately dialed a number from their favorites.

"Brother, when are you coming back?"

"Tianyi?"

"Brother, it's me!"

"Ah~ Tianyi, I miss you so much. I won't be back until next month."

"It's like this, Brother. President Fu asked me to find you; we need diamonds now."

"Diamonds? Alright, I'll arrange it tomorrow."

"Okay, hanging up now. I'll wait for you to come back!"

Meng Tianyi hung up the phone and resumed his work.

He didn't look at the messages Meng Wenrui sent at all.

(Our Meng Wenrui and Meng Tianyi are a CP; their story will be presented in the side stories.)

After Fu Xiangqi hung up, he went back to Jiang Li's side and listened to their discussion.

In this matter, he would listen to Lili.

The final decision was to hold a Chinese-style engagement banquet.

"Madam, would you choose red, cyan, or blue?"

"Red. It has more of an atmosphere."

"Alright, Madam. The design sketches will be ready later. You and President Fu can go to the other side to pick out the styles for the wedding candy boxes and the invitations."

"Alright."

Jiang Li felt that since this was her own engagement banquet and wedding, it was better to do these things herself.

Fu Xiangqi simply accompanied Jiang Li silently.

He certainly supported whatever Jiang Li wanted to do.

Finally, the two of them selected the styles for the candy boxes and invitations together.

The day was quite exhausting, so they went straight back to rest.

The next day, the two continued, as the engagement banquet was coming up soon.

This day was for choosing the formal attire and styles.

Because the preparation time was short, there wasn't enough time for custom tailoring, but these clothes were all the latest arrivals.

The manager of the bridal shop, knowing that the Chairman of the Jiang Group was getting engaged, immediately brought out all the hidden treasures and the Chinese-style clothes that had just been shipped in.

The entire staff of the shop served Jiang Li alone.

After they arrived, she tried on cheongsams, Mamian Skirts, Tang Suits... all sorts of styles.

In the end, she chose a red modified cheongsam... A month's time quietly slipped away.

Once the news of the engagement between the Chairman of the Jiang Group and the young master of the Fu Group was broadcast, it circulated across various websites.

Everyone was particularly looking forward to it.

But exactly where it would be held was completely unknown.

It wasn't until evening that the two major groups released the video.

Everyone saw the grand spectacle of the engagement banquet.

Jiang Li, wearing the red modified cheongsam, walked onto the stage together with Fu Xiangqi, who was in a suit.

The surrounding decorations made everyone's eyes light up.

When the camera zoomed in and everyone saw the appearances of Jiang Li and Fu Xiangqi, they all marveled that this was a match made in heaven.

The two of them really complemented each other standing together.

Even the Phoenix Hairpin on her head seemed to be the latest style.

The phoenix carved on it was lifelike.

To those watching, it felt like it had significant weight.

After all, the hairpin looked truly beautiful from behind.

The moment Fu Xiangqi put the ring on Jiang Li, the comments section exploded again.

"Ah, did you guys see? That diamond is so big, I'm so jealous!"

"I saw it, I saw it! There didn't seem to be any news released about this diamond; could this be a one-of-a-kind ring in the whole world?"

"It's true. The hairpin on Chairman Jiang's head was specially customized; it's unique in the world, there isn't a second one."

"Ah, what kind of love is this that makes me so bitter? I'm envious."

"Exactly, when can I ever own something unique!"

"In your dreams; you can have everything in your dreams."

"A daydream? Too bad it's night now, can't have daydreams. Only regular dreams."

"Even a regular dream would be nice. Even in my dreams, I'm working, working myself to death every day for those few thousand yuan in salary. They don't even understand you, they just think you're idle. That leader is just too cold-hearted."

"Don't even get me started, I've had experiences like that too. My best friend and I already find working at our company depressing, and then what? That leader won't even let us talk. We were clearly just chatting about family matters, we didn't say anything wrong, and they said the company isn't like home. Heh, I wanted to say, even home isn't this depressing. Working from morning till night, never-ending tasks, and they actually think we're idle. Seriously, it makes you so angry you can't even breathe!"

"Don't say another word, there are so many things like this! Every day they tell us to go find work for ourselves and not just get by, but we're so busy we can't even catch our breath..."

"..."

Soon, the tone of the comments section changed.

"Hey, hey, hey, has the tone of our discussion changed? How did it end up like this?"

As it turned out, that comment was quickly suppressed.

All the corporate drones and office workers were frantically venting about their bosses.

Jiang Li and Fu Xiangqi were completely unaware of what was happening online, because today the two of them were happily enjoying themselves.

"Lili, thank you for appearing by my side and redeeming me. I love you!"

"Qiqi, I love you too! You redeemed me as well!"
