She heard that Mu Liuchuan had actually put so much effort into preparing for the wedding.
Gu Xuexue smiled sweetly. “Really? Mommy, how much did he pay the reporters?”
Gu Meifeng spread out a hand and lifted a few fingers. “This number.”
“Five hundred per person?” Usually, when reporters interviewed people, they would get at most one or two hundred yuan as a reward.
Gu Meifeng curled her lips. “How can he take out five hundred? Of course it’s five thousand.”
Five thousand yuan per person. There were dozens of reporters here. That was not a small sum. It was a few hundred thousand yuan for hard work.
Gu Xuexue felt sweetness in her heart.
“Brother Liuchuan really cares about me. If only this engagement banquet could be chosen in the banquet hall of the presidential palace…” Gu Xuexue was greedy and looked at the majestic building opposite the Furong Pavilion.
The banquet hall of the presidential palace was a place where top socialites went.
She also wanted to announce her marriage there in a beautiful wedding dress.
How glorious!
Gu Meifeng spat. “Silly child, how can you afford to go to that kind of place just because you have money? If you can go there just because you have money, Liuchuan will definitely do it for you. Lower your voice, don’t let others laugh at you. The banquet hall of the presidential palace is a place to receive foreign guests. Only the president’s daughter can have the honor of holding a banquet in that kind of banquet hall… Our ordinary upper-class families are either in Dige or Furong Pavilion. It’s already a top-notch enjoyment. The Mu family feels that it’s not good to have it in a casino in Dige, so they chose the traditional Furong Pavilion. You’re not allowed to throw a tantrum in front of Liuchuan later…”
Gu Xuexue felt much better when she heard her mother’s explanation. “Yes, I understand, Mommy. I will know my limits.”
The booking fee of more than 100,000 yuan, the hard work of hundreds of thousands of reporters, and the buffet of snacks and drinks for this engagement banquet, as well as the gorgeous decorations of the venue, added up to more than a million yuan.
Although the Mu family was facing a business crisis, they were still willing to pay such a huge sum of money to organize the engagement banquet. They were taking this marriage very seriously.
How could Gu Xuexue not be satisfied?
Still, she was a little worried…
“Mommy, the reporters won’t ask about how I seduced Young Master Ye during the competition and how Brother Liuchuan and I were caught in a hotel room, right?”
Gu Meifeng sneered. “That’s why I said that Liuchuan knows how to conduct himself. Those reporters took 5,000 yuan. Who would be insensible enough to ask questions?”
Gu Xuexue was completely relieved and smiled sweetly. “Mommy, then our banquet today will be broadcasted live on television, right?”
Gu Meifeng hesitated for a moment and said, “Live television broadcast… is a little difficult, but two online radio stations have agreed to give us three minutes.”
Tonight, the television stations and online media were all focused on the finals of the World Medical Tournament. Who would split their time with an unknown eighteenth-tier socialite?
She comforted Gu Xuexue. “We’re not pursuing a live broadcast. We just need to catch the headlines tomorrow morning! It’s best if there’s still news of Gu Qiqi’s defeat in the headlines!”
Gu Xuexue smiled. “Mommy, I saw WeChat just now. A friend forwarded a photo of Gu Qiqi being bullied by the judges. The judge came out and accused her of faking the medicine and adding hormones. Do you think she can still make a comeback? She must have lost to Young Master Ye and Dr. Brown…”
Gu Meifeng nodded. “Yes, when your grandfather comes later, pretend to inadvertently remind him to see Gu Qiqi’s ugly appearance when she fails…”
“Okay, Mommy!”
